07:45World Championship Wrestling presents the Sports Spectacular of the Season.
07:50StarCade 91.
07:53Anything goes in wrestling's ultimate challenge of skill, luck, and survival.
07:58StarCade 91 Battle Bowl, the lethal lottery.
08:03December 29th live, only on pay-per-view.
08:07Call your local cable operator for availability.
08:14Welcome back, everyone, to TBS and the Power Hour.
08:17Jim Ross back with you.
08:17We'd like to take you back to this past Tuesday night's Clash of Champions event.
08:22What a tremendous event it was in Savannah, Georgia.
08:25We're going to take you to the championship matchup
08:27involving Lex Luger and Rick Steiner.
08:30We'll join this match in progress.
08:32But not only did Rick Steiner and Lex Luger have an altercation,
08:36but Scott Steiner and Mr. Hughes as well.
08:39Let's go back to the Clash of Champions and look at this volatile footage.
08:43Got it. One, two.
08:45And Luger able to kick out.
08:46And the Steiner line.
08:49Luger all the way outside from the Steiner line.
08:52Harley Race, a seven-times heavyweight champion.
08:58The advisor to the champion is over there giving him some much-needed advice.
09:03And look at the dog face.
09:04He is ready down in that referee's position.
09:06Luger's not going to get in right away.
09:12Not at all.
09:16Luger taking his time, being very deliberate.
09:22He may have loosened a couple of teeth there.
09:26His lip being busted open from that perhaps-the-Steiner line.
09:31And I'm not sure our move or two earlier.
09:37Boy, both these guys are in magnificent condition.
09:40Steiner has that low center of gravity.
09:43And look at Luger trying to wrestle now out of the corner.
09:48You know, Jim, we talked on your radio show on AM 750 WSB on Sunday nights
09:52about who you think would win the match.
09:54I thought it would be Luger.
09:55You said Steiner.
09:56And look at Steiner right now.
09:57He is more focused than I've ever seen him.
09:59Well, a lot of things have happened and not so unpredictable.
10:03I thought Steiner going in had a chance.
10:05I still do.
10:07And look at Luger back away.
10:09I've called a lot of championship matches in WCW,
10:12but never were two more supreme pure athletes than these two.
10:18Great elevation by the dog face Gremlin.
10:21The former Michigan All-American with a solid right hand.
10:24And another one.
10:25And a thumb to the eye by the champion.
10:26Sends him in.
10:30Going for a close line.
10:31He got him.
10:33Bell to the back.
10:34Suplex.
10:35Luger, though, near the ropes.
10:37He got the left shoulder up.
10:39Just barely got an inch or two off the canvas.
10:42And again, Luger rolling near the ropes.
10:45You know, I think Harley Race had a lot to do with that.
10:47He kept screaming.
10:48He got the attention of Rick Steiner.
10:50And I don't think the pin was as secure as it should have been.
10:54With cars of Harley Race.
10:58Steiner with the right hand.
10:59Luger retaliates.
11:01These men, this big, this strong, cannot exchange blows for any long length of time.
11:06No one's body can sustain that.
11:08Steiner again with that right hand.
11:10There's a reversal of an Irish whip.
11:12He went in chest first.
11:13And now it's Luger.
11:15Referee got him knocked out of the way there.
11:18Jim, top rope.
11:20Right between the legs.
11:22Real cheap shot by the total package.
11:24Scotty Steiner trying to reason with the referee.
11:28But, and quite frankly, you don't want Luger to...
11:30Oh, what a close line.
11:31You don't want Luger to disqualify it.
11:33The belt does not change hands on a disqualification.
11:36Right.
11:36Rick's got to pin him or make him submit.
11:41Luger a little worse for wear.
11:44And regardless of how tough you are, and of course we've been...
11:48It's well known how tough Rick Steiner is.
11:49When that rope goes right between the legs and the groin area,
11:53it'll knock the biggest man down to his knees.
11:55Luger, play pro football seven seasons.
11:58Youngest man ever to start in the Canadian Football League at 19.
12:04Up in vertical position now.
12:06And he's raking the eyes right across the top ring rope.
12:12You can almost see the arrogance of the champion as he moves around the ring.
12:16He does have a mean streak.
12:18Since winning the championship at the Great American Bash,
12:23he has turned back every challenge.
12:26He has been a fighting champion.
12:29Steiner blocked that suplex.
12:30But he got him up!
12:31Front face lock.
12:36He's sitting down on it.
12:37That low center of gravity.
12:39With a...
12:40Being an advantageous situation for Steiner there.
12:43As he could utilize that suplex.
12:46Again, Luger with a poke to the eye.
12:51Scoop slam.
12:52And throw the elbow right down into the throat.
12:56Lateral press and Steiner got a shoulder.
13:04Both bend back up to a vertical base now.
13:07And it's...
13:07Luger with the advantage.
13:10Looked like he may have caught him in the throat with his fingers extended.
13:14I'm not sure.
13:16And now...
13:16He throws him outside.
13:19And keep your eye on race.
13:22Scotty Steiner...
13:23Sees what's going on.
13:25He's headed that way.
13:26But the damage has been done.
13:29Luger has Scott detained verbally.
13:32Giving race the opportunity to gain an unfair advantage.
13:36I'll tell you what I think.
13:37Two-fold here.
13:38To get the advantage thanks to Harley Race.
13:40But also, I think Luger is really tired.
13:45Man, this is just an illustration of the great action you'll see every weekend.
13:50Saturday morning, Saturday night, and Sunday on TVS.
13:53Lateral press.
13:54Another near fall.
13:55And Luger very frustrated that he didn't get a faster catch.
13:58Out from the referee.
14:05Hammering blow to the mid-back.
14:09Again, double axe handle.
14:13That's wide back.
14:15Rick Steiner's certainly an ample target.
14:18But he's trying to shake it off.
14:19Trying to stay vertical.
14:22And Dogface comes back to the right.
14:24He caught the champion walking in.
14:26Luger is addled.
14:27I can tell you, Luger's eyes, a little glazed.
14:31He got him off.
14:33Oh, wow.
14:34What power.
14:37Lateral press.
14:38He didn't hook the leg.
14:40Man, I thought he had it right there.
14:42Did not hook the leg.
14:43Both men are visibly tired.
14:46They've given it their all.
14:47There's so much emotions.
14:48Watch out.
14:49Bulldog.
14:50He got him off the top with that bulldog.
14:52A new champion could be crowned here.
14:55He's got the lateral press on the front of the rope.
14:59Once again, it's not only if you get them, it's where you get them.
15:03And it was too close to the ropes.
15:04Oh, my goodness.
15:12Jim, this may be a belly to belly.
15:15Oh, the belly.
15:17Fans, we hope you'll stay tuned.
15:20For an eye, for an eye.
15:21There's Mr. Hughes following us.
15:23Scotty brings Hughes in.
15:25Scott Steiner and Mr. Hughes now.
15:28Handring each other.
15:29Scotty with a break at Steiner.
15:31Oh, yeah.
15:33It's chaos here.
15:35Scotty's got him.
15:36Rick Scottie.
15:37Rick Steiner has got Luger pinned.
15:40Steiner up.
15:41He's nailing race.
15:46The referee's letting it go.
15:49Jim.
15:49Jim Luger's got the belt.
15:51Luger.
15:51Oh, he's got the belt.
15:54He's got the belt.
15:55That heavy championship belt.
15:57He comes starter to face with it.
15:59And Luger, he...
16:00Oh, my.
16:01Ladies and gentlemen, the winner is still world heavyweight champion,
16:05the total package,
16:07Rex Luger.
16:09Yeah.

17:06...to the ring by Lady Blossom
17:09from Hollywood, California.
17:12...weighting to watch it
17:14and 53 pounds.
17:16He is the WCW World Television Champion
17:21stunning Steve Austin!
17:28What a broadcast tonight.
17:30We hope you'll be with us.
17:32Our special 90-minute broadcast
17:35leading into the Atlanta Hawks
17:38game here on TVS.
17:42The Freebirds and the Pistols
17:44in tag team action.
17:45The New World Tag Team Champions,
17:47a lot of controversy in that.
17:49It was almost, I guess,
17:53about 10.35, 11 o'clock,
17:57sometime before midnight Tuesday
17:58when it was finally all sorted out.
18:00But Ricky the Dragon, Steamboat,
18:03who replaced Barry Windham
18:05with Dustin Rhodes.
18:07He and Rhodes won the World Tag Titles.
18:09They will wrestle tonight on WCW.
18:13But what about that big main event?
18:15The Steiner Brothers together again
18:17for the first time in quite some time
18:18tonight against Lex Luger and Mr. Hughes.
18:22You'll see it exclusively here on TBS
18:25tonight at 6 Eastern Time.
18:27Jimmy Jam Garvin
18:29becoming a very popular figure
18:32along with Michael Hayes here at WCW,
18:34challenging Stunning Steve
18:35for the television title.
18:37A great deal of speculation
18:38that tonight Pauly Dangerously
18:40will announce his entire
18:42Dangerous Alliance organization,
18:45all its members,
18:47and Austin rumored to be
18:48in that entourage.
18:50Jimmy Jam having a little
18:56good-natured fun there
18:57with Lady Blossom.
18:59Jimmy Jam always considered
19:01a ladies' man.
19:10Rather evil look from Lady Blossom.
19:15If Stunning Steve
19:17does indeed formally join
19:20the Dangerous Alliance,
19:22I'm not sure what that does
19:25to the status of Lady Blossom.
19:37Garvin certainly proficient
19:38in breaking the rules if he chooses.
19:40Now blowing a little kiss
19:41to Lady Blossom
19:42who does not like that at all.
19:47Side headlock applied.
19:49We mentioned so many things
19:50going on behind the scenes.
19:52We'll talk about them
19:53until midnight tonight
19:54on the Wrestling Hotline.
19:57Nice sunset flip by Austin.
20:00The veteran Jimmy Jam
20:01widened the base
20:02and nailed him
20:03with the right hand.
20:04in this month's edition
20:09of WCW Magazine
20:10with Sting on the cover.
20:15Big double fold-out
20:17with Lady Blossom
20:19and Stunning Steve.
20:22Boy, as rapidly as things change
20:24in WCW,
20:25that issue could certainly
20:26be a collector's item.
20:28She could be obsolete
20:29if Austin joins
20:32the Dangerous Alliance
20:33and on that cover
20:35of the WCW Magazine
20:36is Sting
20:37with the U.S.
20:38Heavyweight Championship belt,
20:40a belt he no longer
20:42has possession of.
20:43Great impact here
20:51in WCW.
20:52You can hear it there.
20:54And Garvin
20:55rammed
20:56into the
20:57turnbuckle.
21:00Was caught coming out
21:01with a clothesline.
21:02A couple of real
21:02high-impact moves.
21:08Stunning Steve.
21:09Very fortunate
21:10to retain the title
21:11from the clash
21:13this past Tuesday
21:14against PN News.
21:17And again,
21:17the clash
21:18will be repeated

21:24here on TBS.
21:26It'll start at

24:31Missy Does the Mail.
24:33This morning
24:34I want to address
24:35the injury situation
24:36of Barry Windham.
24:38As many of you know,
24:39Barry is out of action
24:41until early 1992
24:43thanks to the efforts
24:44of the enforcers.
24:46Let's go back
24:46to Halloween Havoc
24:47when Barry
24:48and the boy blunder
24:49Dustin Rhodes
24:50drove up in
24:51Windham's
24:52tacky little car
24:53and started to talk
24:55with Eric Bischoff.
24:56It is going to be
24:57excitement.
24:58Now I'll make you
24:58in the way.
24:58I see it's
24:59Barry Windham
25:00and Dustin Rhodes.
25:02Welcome to
25:02Halloween Havoc.
25:04Barry Windham.
25:05I can't
25:06wait a minute.
25:08Oh.

25:18Oh.
25:26This piece of
25:43video tape will
25:44show you in a few
25:45moments how Barry
25:45Windham re-injured
25:46his arm.
25:48We can't tell you
25:49that this past
25:50Tuesday at the
25:51Clash of Champions
25:52Ricky the Dragon
25:53Steamboat did
25:54indeed join forces
25:55with Dustin Rhodes.
25:56They did score a
25:57pinfall victory
25:58over the Enforcers
26:00and have possession
26:01of the World Tag
26:02Team Championship.
26:03They are the
26:04official champions
26:05contrary to what
26:06Missy Hyde or
26:07anyone else may
26:08think.
26:10As many of you
26:11know,
26:12Windham was unable
26:13to team with
26:14little Dustin
26:15at the clash
26:16against the
26:16Enforcers this
26:17past Tuesday.
26:18And can you
26:19believe that
26:19Dustin and his
26:20big shot
26:21mystery partner
26:22had the gall
26:23to claim that
26:24they were the
26:25new tag
26:26champions?
26:27Sorry boys,
26:28the Enforcers
26:29are still the
26:30champions and
26:30you better return
26:31those belts.
