WCW Super Brawl 6 - Sunday, February 11^th, 1996

By Bob

Tonight, WCW presents their sixth annual Super Brawl spectacular. A pretty good looking card.
A falls-count-anywhere match, a strap match, two Tag Team Title matches, and two Steel Cage matches.
But then there are a few question marks. Why is One Man Gang getting title shots?
How in the world have the Road Warriors managed to get a title shot? After being in WCW for less than a month?
Where are Benoit, Malenko, Guerrero or Alex Wright? They could easily take the place of One Man Gang in his title match, but no.
How in the world has Diamond Dallas Page been able to get constant Television Title matches when he continually loses to Johnny B. Badd?
Enough of my questions, let's get on with the show, shall we?
We are LIVE from Saint Petersburg, Florida for Super Brawl 6!
Opening video covers all the matches that are on tonight's pay-per-view.
Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan and Dusty Rhodes welcome us to tonight's show.
All three simply hype up the two cage matches.
Let's start the matches!
Street Fight: Public Enemy (Rocco Rock/Johnny Grunge) Vs Nasty Boys (Knobbs/Saggs)
- Well, as expected, these four men quickly brawl to the floor.
- Fifteen seconds into the match, Rock grabs a table and Saggs whacks Rock over the back several times with a chair.
- Grunge takes Saggs out with a few chair shots. Rock brings the table to ring area.
- Knobbs slams Rock off the apron through the table! Two count.
- Saggs brings over a trash can and whacks Grunge several times over the head with the lid.
- Inside the ring, Saggs has Grunge hooked up and connects with a pile driver onto the trash can!
- Rock and Knobbs head over to the side of the entrance way, and Knobbs suplexes Rock through a table.
- All four men eventually are in the same area, next to the entrance way.
- Grunge with a running bulldog onto a chair on Saggs.
- Later, Rock is on the balcony of sorts and leaps off, missing a dive through a table. Knobbs covers Rock for the win!
- Your Winners: The Nasty Boys via pinfall
- That was, again, a pretty good opener by these two tag teams.
We go to Gene who, of course, hypes up his hotline.
"We have the latest on two former World Wrestling Federation champions coming to WCW..." Hmmm...
Konnan enters the picture. Konnan is looking down, maybe at cue cords, but not in the correct camera.
Konnan thanks the fans, and says he will retain his US Heavyweight Title.
Your basic average mid-carder interview for the night.
For the WCW Television Championship: © Johnny B. Badd w/ Kimberly Vs DDP
- This is simple. IF DDP wins, he gets the Television Title.
- If, or, when Johnny wins, he wins the now 6.6 million dollars that Page basically stole from Kimberly, aka Diamond Doll.
- Page brought roses to the ring for Kimberly, only to be attacked by Badd from behind. Maybe Page is trying to change?
- Early on, Badd connects with the leg drop off the apron over the top rope into the ring move. Only for a 2 count.
- Usual, punches, kicks, and low blows by Page for several moments.
- Page has Badd down after a gut buster, but goes to Kimberly for a "10" on the move. Which she doesn't give him.
- Badd attempts to come back, but Page plants Badd with a jumping DDT. However, Page taunts the crowd.
- Kimberly proceeds to get a "0" card and Page is livid.
- Badd comes back and takes Page down after several left/right combos.
- After a double axe handle off the tope, Kimberly puts up a "10".
- That move isn't THAT good.
- Badd almost wins after a leaping sunset flip into a rollup.
- Page with a ridiculous jumping, spinning tombstone pile driver.
- Later, after using almost the same EXACT move, Badd manages to pull out the victory.
- Your Winner: And STILL WCW Television Champion Johnny B. Badd via pinfall.
- Replay of the match.
Gene is standing with... Harlem Heat!
Stevie Ray says that Sting and Luger are on their "hit list".
Booker T really says the same thing that Ray said.
Gene mentions that whomever wins face the Road Warriors.
Harlem Heat do not even respond to that.
Bobby, Tony and Dusty talk about the "problems" between Sting and Luger.
For the WCW World Hevyweight Tag Team Championships: Harlem Heat Vs © Sting/Lex Luger
- For quite a while the contest is simply brawling. With just punching and the occasional slam.
- A terrible clothesline by Luger on Booker T, for the botched move of the contest.
- Ray with a not-so-good-looking power bomb onto Luger.
- Stevie has Luger hooked for another power bomb, but the Road Warriors come down to the ring and hit Ray with a lead pipe or something.
- Which causes Stevie to go down and Luger gains the pinfall.
- Your Winners: And Still WCW World Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Sting/Luger via pinfall
- Luger and Sting now do an interview with Gene.
- Both men are both oblivious to the fact that the Road Warriors helped them win.
- Well, that was really pointless.
- The announcers continue to hype up the cage matches and the tag team situations.
For the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship: One Man Gang Vs © Konnan
- Neither man gets any reaction. Not surprising, considering Konnan has been in WCW for about three weeks, and no one even cares about One Man Gang.
- Konnan is really just jumping all over the place. Whether that be on the floor or in the ring to try and get Gang down.
- Gang has the advantage for a good portion of the match.
- Later, Konnan with a not-so-great hurricanrana and a few dropkicks, but that doesn't last.
- Gang with the 747 splash, but he pulls Konnan up. Gang proceeds to miss a slow big splash off the top.
- Konnan with an somersault splash off the top onto Gang... 1-2-3.
- Your Winner: And STILL WCW US Heavyweight Champion, Konnan via pinfall.
We go backstage for Gene to tell us that a sewer pipe has broken and things are coming down.
After a hotline shill, the Road Warriors come into the picture and cut a promo on the two tag teams in the previous tag team match.
They "apologize" but later say they don't care for screwing Harlem Heat over.
"Respect" Strap Match: Kevin Sullivan w/ Jimmy Hart Vs Brian Pillman
- The way to win is for your opponent to say "I Respect You".
- Wow, Pillman is just whipping Sullivan with the strap several times.
- Sullivan punches Pillman, Pillman gets up and grabs a microphone and says... "I respect you, booker man!"
- Pillman simply walks to the back as the crowd isn't too happy.
- Sullivan waits in the ring, and Arn Anderson comes out.
- Your Winner: Kevin Sullivan via Pillman saying "I respect you"
"Respect" Strap Match: Kevin Sullivan w/ Jimmy Hart Vs Arn Anderson
- Anderson had the advantage for a moment, but Sullivan whips Arn several times.
- Arn comes back and is choking Sullivan with the strap.
- Both men go to the floor, and both go head first into the ring post.
- Eventually, Ric Flair comes running to the ring and is telling both men to stop it.
- Flair basically says that they need to focus on Hogan and Savage.
- "United we stand, divided we fall." by Flair.
- Flair says he will be taking the World belt, and Savage's wife Elizabeth.
- Arn and Sullivan shake hands.
- Your Winner: No Contest, thanks to Flair clearing everything up
Gene is standing with Jimmy Hart and The Giant.
Hart says that Hulkamania is coming to an end tonight.
Giant says the "evil inside continues to build up."
Well, it was a decent interview, until the end where it seemed like Giant was about to cry.
For the WCW World Tag Team Titles: Road Warriors Vs © Sting/Lex Luger
- Luger walks back to the entrance way, having second thoughts on the whole idea of facing the Road Warriors.
- Wow, it's been at least five minutes, and Luger is still stalling.
- Sting gets worked on for a few moments, by both Warriors.
- Sting comes back and eventually tags in Luger. Luger appears to be "nervous".
- Luger is sent to the floor by the Warriors and is sent into the railing.
- Luger punches Hawk a couple times and tags in Sting.
- This is one boring match.
- One arm leaping bulldog by Sting on Animal. Sting misses a top rope splash as Animal gets his knees up.
- Hawk takes Luger down with clotheslines and a leaping leg drop.
- Soon after, Sting connects with the Stinger Splash on Animal, and goes for the Scorpion Death Lock. Only for Hawk to come over and clothesline Sting.
- Double team on Sting...
- Eventually all four men just battle to the floor and fight their way to the back.
- Your Winner: No Contest. Sting and Lex Luger retain the Tag Team titles.
Gene is backstage with Ric Flair and Woman.
Woman says "What Woman wants, Woman gets", referring to the World Title.
Flair cuts a promo on the exact events he did in the ring earlier.
The theme music for Super Brawl brings the cage down.
The music doesn't really reflect the "violence" that the stell cage presents.
So, we instead go to a video to promote WCW Uncensored 1996.
On the 24^th of March.
Gene is with Elizabeth, before she can say anything, World Champion Randy Savage comes in and cuts a promo.
"Mega Powers"... yeah, in the WWF.
We go to the announcers who continue to hype up the cage match.
Steel Cage Match for the WCW World Heavyweight Title: © Randy Savage w/Elizabeth Vs Ric Flair w/Woman
- Michael Buffer calls this match a "Caged Rumble".
- Buffer is terrible at wrestling announcing...
- Quickly in the match, Flair knocks the referee down. Which of course, sets up Savage getting a few pinfall attempts.
- Flair manages to send Savage into the steel to regain control.
- Later on, Savage locks the figure four in the middle of the ring, after slamming Flair off the top rope.
- Several pinfall attempts while in the hold.
- Moments later, Savage climbs to the top of the cage. Savage leaps off but Flair manages to connect with a shot to the gut.
- Flair is back to having complete control as Savage is limp.
- Flair locks in the figure four and uses the ropes for leverage.
- Savage manages to hang on. Savage comes back by sending Flair into the cage.
- Savage scrapes Flair's head against the cage.
- Flair is busted open.
- Now my tape is messing around...
- But, in the replay it is shown that Elizabeth turns on Savage, helping Flair gain the gold.
- Your Winner: And NEW WCW World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair via pinfall.
We go backstage and Gene is with Hogan.
Hogan does his usual promo on the Giant.
Steel Cage Match: The Giant w/ Jimmy Hart & Kevin Sullivan Vs Hulk Hogan
- Giant has control quickly and often. Giant working on the neck and eye, since Hogan has an "eye injury". Hogan comes back with right hands.
- Hogan even proceeds to signal for a scoop slam after delivering right hands.
- Of course, it doesn't work. Giant continues to maul Hogan.
- Just realized you can escape the cage to win the match.
- In the World Title match, no one attempted to leave.
- So, if Hogan wins, I hope it's not by pinfall.
- Giant sends Hogan into the steel multiple times. Well, Hogan clearly blocks them but sells the moves anyway. God forbid he bleed or something, right?
- You've got to be kidding me. Giant connects with a choke slam, so what does Hogan do? No-sells, and proceeds to Hulk Up.
- When thrown into the cage wall, Giant literally goes into it, not afraid of the cage.
- Giant is dazed, Hogan with the big boot, and after playing to the crowd for several moments, Hogan connects with the scoop slam.
- Hogan connects with the leg drop, three times.
- Hogan begins to climb the cage, but Giant quickly pops up!
- Both are on the top turnbuckle and they chop each other. Giant falls off and is out cold.
- Hogan drops down, to win the match.
- Your Winner: Hulk Hogan via escaping.
- Afterwards, Hogan has a chair and he sends Sullivan into the cage.
- Hogan then realizes that it's now 2-on-1...
- The rest of the Dungeon of Doom come out and Hogan is whacking all of them with the chair.
- Hogan drops the chair, and he continues to work on all of them.
- Loch Ness comes out and the Dungeon of Doom are holding off Ness.
- Ness doesn't get in the ring.
- Hogan plays to the crowd to end the pay-per-view.
The Good: he opening contest and the World Title matches were alright.
