WCW Saturday Night - Saturday, March 23rd, 1996
- Two new guys are with the Alliance to beat Hulkamania. One is Z Gangsta (aka Zeus from the WWF circa late 1980's - early 1990's, I believe), the second one being the Ultimate Solution.
- That adds two men. So, that now adds up to, Arn, Flair, Sullivan, Hogan, Savage, Z Gangsta, and Ultimate Solution into the cage that I know of. Seven guys, in a doomsday match. Five of them are the heels.
- If anyone is to believe that Hogan and Savage will lose the match, well, you must be a gambling man or woman.
- Next show is finally Uncensored. Bringing me to about... five more months of 1996 to report until everything is caught up to where DDT Digest started in October, 1996
- But wait, there isn't stuff from pre September 1995 and beforehand, or will there be?
- Let's get the show, on the road.
- Saturday Night opening video
- Footage from Nitro where Z Gangsta and Ultimate Solution arrived. Hogan, Savage and BM decided to jet as quickly as possible.
- Tony and Dusty discuss what happened on Nitro.
- Time for some action.
- For the WCW World Television Championship: (champion) Lex Luger Vs Brad Armstrong
- Tony says that Armstrong could easily win the title in a minute. I had to chuckle at that one. Brad is good, but, would anyone believe it if he were to beat Luger for the title? Didn't think so.
- Brad holds his own early on with a dropkick, and a couple of arm drags.
- Brad with a back body drop after sending Luger into the corner. Luger comes back with a snake eyes in the corner.
- Luger with the power slam, following with the signal for the Torture Rack.
- Brad reverses the Rack, Luger took his sweet time. Armstrong with a high knee.
- Luger blocks the Russian leg sweep, and places Brad into the Torture Rack for the win.
- Your Winner: And still WCW World Television Champion, Lex Luger via submission
- At least Brad got some moves in, and was not completely squashed.

- Lord Steven Regal Vs The Gambler
- I wonder if the Gambler would take that bet I mentioned earlier? I don't think so, Gambler is a smart man.
