WCW Starrcade “BattleBowl”
Atlanta, Georgia
December 28th, 1992
JR introduces Eric Bischoff, who gives us a special report informing us that Rick Rude has suffered a herniated disc and will NOT challenge Ron Simmons for the World Title tonight. The Board of Directors made a last minute decision to give the shot to Dr. Death Steve Williams tonight.
Backstage: Tony Schiavone interviews “Cowboy” Bill Watts & Hank Aaron; Bill says battlebowl was a dream of Dusty Rhodes and he’s happy it’s going strong, mentions that Sting won it last year so he wants Sting to come out so Hank can give him the BattleBowl rings

Missy Hyatt and Larry Zbyszko are doing the drawings for the evening.
Lethal Lottery Match: Van Hammer & Dan Spivey vs. Johnny B Badd & Cactus Jack
Dan and Hammer get this match started and HOLY SHIT! Hammer is aready in slow motion 4 seconds into the match, he gets the better of Jack for the most part until Jack tags Badd in as they go back and forth until Badd kills Hammer with a ‘rana as Hammers lands on the back of his head and neck. Dan tags in and he and Jack do some face paced stuff for a bit, neither team has the advantage for long as both teams do stuff until from the apron Dan knees Badd in the back allowing his team to work on Badd for a bit. Until Jack makes the hot tag, it was nothing special. Dan flings Jack to the floor but he gets back in he goes for a tag but Badd isn’t on the corner for the tag which allows Dan to jump him from behind getting the advantage back for his team. At one point Hammer hits a flying shoulderblock, and Badd accidentally drops an elbow on Cactus while trying to save. Both men punch one another allowing Van Hammer to roll him up Cactus for the win. Boring match, that did nothing for me. ¾*
Missy's spins the tumbler and Larry goes to pick. There's a split screen of the face and heel locker room. Larry reads out the first name which is “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes and then his tag partner is VAN VADER

We go back to the tumbler, with Larry pulling out Sting’s partners Dr. Death Steve Williams. JR does a quick save saying that when you win, you're automatically in the next year. Their opponents, ERIK WATTS! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! And his partner is JUSHIN “THUNDER” LIGER.
Lethal Lottery Match: Dr. Death Steve Williams & Sting vs. Jushin Liger & Erik Watts
Sting and Williams has so much potential, poor Liger tho stuck with this as whip. Sting and Liger start, we get a good sequence of moves, tons counters until Williams’s tags in and begins to rough up Liger but Liger uses his quickness to tags in Watts who looks like shit. He and Williams are wearing the same colour pants. Poor Williams, Watts sucks the life out of me and this match whenever he does anything but thankfully Williams cuts him off with cheap shots until Liger comes in but Williams kills him with a LARIET! Sting has Liger in a dominator position but rams him chest first into the buckle as the team of Sinlliams

NWA World Heavyweight Championship: Masa Chono vs. The Great Muta
The first 10 seconds of this was great as they go right into a Japanese style match hitting one another and the other one coming back strong with strikes. But then they begin, to slow it down and feel one another out even with Muta stalling, isn’t he suppose to be the face here? Since when do faces get the breathers to start? This felling out lasts like 4 minutes but it felts like 40 and didn’t accomplish anything. I’m not saying it was bad ‘cause everything was sound, but it didn’t lead to anything and just felt like a filler. Chono begins to work the knees for a bit, but that doesn’t go anywhere so he goes after the arm instead. Chono randomly breaks it and heads to the top, but Muta catches him and suplexs him off the top, he hits a back drop and applies a half boston crab as JR wonders what it would be called in Japan. Muta begins to work the knee now with a bridging Indian death lock. Chono no sells it and gets to his feet first and attacks Muta but muta comes back with a spinning kick as Chono heads out for a breather, after more stalling Muta hits the handspring elbow and signals for the end he heads up for the moonsault but when he lands on his feet he acts like he jammed his knee allowing Chono to kick away at the knee and the head. Both men attempt dropkicks and miss, but Chono comes back with a side suplex, he goes for another but Muta adjusts in mid air landing on him for two. Muta goes for a dropkick but misses allowing Chono to lock in the STF for the win. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! FUCK THIS MATCH, AND FUCK THE WORLD! *
JR & Ventura talk about the World Title match, and that because Rude can’t compete tonight the NWA has set up a tournament with the winner facing Rude @ Saturday, January 29th for the US title. JR says it Rude is unable to compete he will be stripped of the title, suddenly. Rick Rude comes out and gets on the mic. He says he's been stabbed in the back by WCW because the doctors tell him he can't compete tonight, and it's ruined what was to be the biggest night of his career. And now, WCW twists the knife even more because they're holding a #1 Contender's Tournament for the US Title and say that if Rude's not able to meet the winner of the tournament on January 23rd, he'll not only be stripped of the United States title which he's held for more than a year, but he'll be stripped of his #1 contender to the World Title status. He says it’s funny things didn’t go down that way when, Vader broke Sting's ribs when he was World Champion, and when Sting didn't compete for close to three months, nobody said a word. CONSPIRACY! NO ONE IS TAKING HIS TITLE! Ventura then mentions that today is the 28, so why not give him until 28th of next month that’s only 27 days

WCW World Heavyweight Championship: Dr Death Steve Williams vs. Ron Simmons
Williams and Simmons shake on respect, before breaking free and attempting a test of strength. We get another lengthy test of strength as both men do that NFL running tackle into one another spot, what a waste but Ron being the obvious smarter one leapfrogs a charging Williams and clotheslines him before locking in a arm bar, but Williams rolls to the floor. LOL @ Williams pulling on Ron’s picky head to try and gain a advantage, they lock up again but Williams get frustrated cause he can’t get the better so he forearms him in the head for a break. They lock up again and another hair pull from Williams leads to them standing nose-to-nose and finally begins to slug it out. Ron hits him with a back elbow before ramming his face into the mat; Ron goes back to the arm and works away at it. He heads up top for what looks to be like a flying shouldertackle but Williams’s side steps him and begins to work of Williams’s knee using the ring ropes and the apron. He gets back into the ring and locks in a weird half Boston crab before working over the knee again. This goes on for several minutes until he goes into the 3 point stance and takes out Ron’s knee twice, but on the third Ron clotheslines him and makes a comeback no selling the fuck at of the knee, he hits a awful looking spinebuster as JR tries to save it by saying his knee almost gave out

WCW World Tag Team Championships: Ricky Steamboat & Shane Douglas vs. Barry Windham & Flyin’ Pillman
Shane and Brian start and it’s good fun, tons of speedy counters with Shane using close fists. Brian gets the better with a chop but can’t maintain control as Shane nails him with a dropkick sending him to the floor. The tag champs now begins to double team Windham as Brian just lets it happen

Finals Of The King of Cable Tournament: Sting vs. Big Van Vader (w/Harley Race)
Vader comes out wearing one of those head caps that PHX’s wear mean SHIT IS GONNA GET REAL! Vader punks, no sells and beats the shit out of him early and I love it. He pretty much toys with Sting in the early portion with power, and he makes It look easy. Sting charges at Vader full-steam and goes down like he ran into a brick wall. Vader presses Sting up and then drops him throat-first on the top rope. Not once, but twice. When Sting rolls back in he hits a series Kappou Kick followed by a German, SWEVE! He then hits the Cactus clothesline that sends both men to the floor and the impact was so high that Vader’s mask came off. Stings not done as he hits a tope suicide that takes both Race and Vader out. All that seem to do was PISS Vader off cause as soon as he gets into the ring be begins to knock the paint off Stings face, but Sting uses quickness to move away but when he comes in charging for the Stinger splash Vader kicks him in the face. But Sting comes back and hits a DDT, he follows up with a DDT off the middle rope but Vader kicks out at two. Sting locks him in the Scorpion death lock but Vader reaches the ropes and he rolls to the floor. Vader begins to walk around ringside as Sting goes out to follow him, he walks over to the guardrail and Sting tries to capitalize with the Stinger Splash, but Vader moves and Sting hits the steel. Vader begins to work over the chest and mid-section of Sting now, which is just brutal. Some of Vader’s straight right hands are AMAZING! Vader wants another short-arm clothesline, but Sting blocks and gets a backslide for a near fall. Sting attempts a sunset flip and Vader won’t go down. Vader tries to squash him, but Sting moves at the last second. Vader is PISSED! So he connects with some beautiful rights but Sting hits a desperation side suplex but Vader is up first and covers him for two before going back to the neck. Sting already covering up before Sting even comes close to him in the corner
