Winners: ‘The Natural’ Dustin Rhodes, Barry Windham & Nikita Koloff (Disqualification)

• EA’s Take: Solid bout, I thought the rivalry between these two groupings were over, but if you combine the participants of this match with the Iron Man match, Sting and Zbyszko are the only two WarGames participants who didn’t square off. ‘Beautiful Bobby’ was a good sport, being used as a headbutt weapon multiple times. I continue to wonder what the payoff will be as the babyfaces win yet again – although not by pinfall or submission, so there’s probably another encounter coming.

They reintroduce Madusa and Missy Hyatt for the final round. Hyatt doesn’t come out and claims from behind the curtain that her bikini was stolen.

Winners: Time Limit Draw

• EA’s Take: Here we have four bonafide collegiate wrestlers, so you knew it was going to have an amateur feel. They showcased a well worked match on the mat, but of course incorporated professional move-sets to get the crowd going. You can tell how popular The Steiner Brothers are when the tag team championship match is the main event, but I really don’t feel like it should have been and I seriously dislike ending your pay-per-view with a time limit draw. It makes no sense to me.

EA’s Finisher: Overall a much better showing than the last PPV. There were only 7 matches, but they were longer and more meaningful. The tag team match and the Iron Man match combined for an hour of the action and they were definitely the two best matches on the card. The bikini contest was a little corny, but what can you expect from a WCW beach-themed PPV in the early 90’s? You can tell the show was alright when you realize after the fact that neither the World, US or Television titles were on the line tonight. Perhaps they should have been though for this precursor event to Bash At The Beach.
