Fire and Ice vs. The Public Enemy

The bout was hard-hitting and reckless, with The Public Enemy taking a beating like few other top stars in wrestling history would allow. To say they fought all over the arena here would be an understatement as they fought in the ring; at ringside; in the crowd; up the stairs; up to the arena concourse; where people buy merchandise and refreshments; and into a public restroom, with crowds of people cheering them on.

Big Screen Angle
Mean Gene interviewed Bobby “The Brain” Heenan and he introduced mysterious asian man as Mr. Oono.
“Mean Gene” talks about Bobby Heenan being spotted with a mysterious asian man in the crowd on Saturday Night twice, both times, recieving envelopes filled with money. Now, the reasons are revealed.
Basically, somehow, Bobby Heenan has sold a half of the WCW Saturday Night and WCW Worldwide program to Mr. Oono to showcase his Japanese talent. But that’s not all, as Colonel Robert Parker has sold The Stud Stable including his manager license to Mr. Onoo including Kurosawa’s contract.
Mean Gene brings up everything wrong and illogical with this and Heenan hilariously slams the accusations down saying that nobody knows what was in his contract when he came to WCW, for all anyone knows, he could own this place. Heenan threatens legal action against the production team if they don’t abide by Mr. Oono’s requests each and every week.
Bobby “The Brain” Heenan accepts another envelope full of cash from Mr. Onoo, and they shake hands.

The Great Muta have captivated American wrestling fans with Asian mysticism, theatrical face paint and the dreaded poison mist. Innovative, aggressive and unpredictable, The Great Muta’s offense extends far beyond the basic martial kicks and strikes. He is an genius when it comes to mat science, crafting both the punishing Muta Lock and the Shining Wizard.

And he chases “Mongo” and “The Fridge” off with the steel chair! He gets back in the ring and looks absolutely insane.
And we have a short commercial break!
Back from break, “Mean Gene” is with Hulk Hogan and Commissioner Bockwinkel. Gene says Hogan may have bitten off more than he can chew as far as his probation goes. Hogan says its bullcrap, because he is “The Immortal Hulk Hogan”! He is larger than life! He says that his name is still on the World Title.
Hogan would get physical with Commissioner Bockwinkel, claiming to be fed up with what is going on. This led to Hogan attacking him from behind before other babyfaces stepped in.
In the aisleway, Vader is trying to come back out, but security are trying to hold him back by his arms. Hogan bolts from the ring with the chair and destroys all with more chair shots, and Vader starts bleeding as we cut away.

“Hey, it’s Nitro! Remember that anything can happen!”
“WCW United States champion Sting will be taking on “Lord” Steven Regal up next.”
Lord Steven William Regal is a stereotypical British gentleman with a mean streak, and could often come across like an Upper-Class Twit. Despite the fact that he usually played a snobby heel, Regal is one of the toughest men in wrestling history. Deceptively strong and in tremendous condition, he is a master of every wrestling hold and known maneuver. He is the finest scientific wrestler in the world today.
Huge pop for Sting. The Stinger is clearly the most popular wrestler in World Championship Wrestling.
Explosive and athletic bodybuilder; “The Franchise of WCW” Sting is ridiculously fast and agile for a guy his size and he is strong enough to slam super heavyweights such as Vader, Bam Bam Bigelow and “Big” John Tenta.

Randy Savage is supposed to have surgery soon to repair a torn tricep and will be out of action 3 months.
Hulk Hogan is on hiatus to film Super Agent Club and is expected to returns in march. Hogan has apparently had negotiations with WWF recently, but they weren’t serious and haven’t led anywhere. WCW is confident that he is staying. But with, Hogan leaving for awhile, and Savage working with a serious injury, Sting is the only real babyface they can run with now.
Vader is also on hiatus and the official reason is that his shoulder is badly injured and he needs surgery. Word is he plans to take a few months off and get his shoulder fixed before returning to the ring in early 1996. The shoulder got injured at The Great American Bash in the match with The Warrior, when Vader went for a sloppy Senton off the top rope, which was originally planned to be Vader debuting a Shooting Star Press before Vader thought better of it because of where The Warrior was laying. For now, he is working as a volunteer assistant coach for the Colorado Buffaloes college football team.
The AJPW All Asia Tag Team titles changed hands, as Richard Slinger and Wolf Hawkfield became the new champions, ending the reign of Johnny Ace and Alexander Otsuka after five title defences.
The Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission has scheduled a meeting regarding the recent ECW show after all the complaints of the fire spot going out of control. The commission hasn’t really been regulating wrestling for many years in the state, but they can still crack down on it if they want to. They banned blading a few years ago, but they don’t enforce the rule and everyone (especially ECW) still does it. As for what happened at the show, the word is a towel drenched in lighter fluid that was on a chair and on fire flew off the chair and landed in the crowd, causing a decent-sized fire and burning some fans. As they were trying to spray it with a fire extinguisher to put it out, fans started choking on the fumes and at that moment, the lights in the building went off because they were doing an angle with Raven and Tommy Dreamer (where Raven crucified Dreamer). So with the lights off, a fire burning in the crowd, and no one able to see or breathe from fire extinguisher fumes, people naturally panicked.
AJPW saw a title change, as Masanobu Fuchi lost the AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight title to Yoshinari Ogawa. This victory marks his third reign with the tile.
The Mexican peso took another economic hit this week, dropping over 20% in value and Dave says this is probably going to be a huge story for the wrestling business there. It will definitely make it harder to bring in American wrestlers because they have to be paid in dollars and the dollar is now worth so much more than the peso. There is fear that the peso crisis isn’t over yet and could be leading to a depression.
It’s rare that we see a genuine “five star” match, but the latest AJPW show certainly delivered in a big way when Mitsuharu Misawa defeated Stan Hansen. The match is bound to feature heavily in the voting for Match Of The Year.
The FMW Brass Knuckles title changed hands, as Mr. Pogo became the new champion, ending the reign of Atsushi Onita after nine title defences. This is the second time he has won the FMW Brass Knuckles championship.
Steve Austin was the most talked about wrestler on TV this week in ECW. He took over the Beulah’s Box segment, wearing a black wig, impersonating Eric Bischoff and talking about “Monday Nyquil, where the big boys play with each other.” Austin got in tons of funny lines at WCW’s expense. He also called Woman a “$5 piece of ass” and said she married a midget (Kevin Sullivan). As you can imagine, several people in WCW weren’t thrilled about this.
Pancrase Hybrid Wrestling held Pancrase 25 at the Fujisawa City Akiba Gym, and drew 4804 fans. The feedback has been that the show was awesome. Performance of the night belonged to Ken Shamrock that defeated Minoru Suzuki in the main event. In the semi main event, Bas Rutten defeated UWFi champion Yoji Anjo.
Former WWF star Crush was sentenced to 5 years probation and a $10,000 fine from his drug and weapons charges from a few months back.
Saturn began his first reign as ECW World Television champion, when he took the title away from Dudley Dudley at ECW November to Remember.
Grizzly Smith has been running shows at the Dallas Sportatorium lately and they’re drawing pretty well.
According to sources, “Loose Cannon” Brian Pillman is to be dropped as the “face of ECW”, replaced with Steve Austin. The move comes as Paul Heyman have become very high on Austin and thinking he may be the “missing piece of the puzzle” that will boost business to a whole new level.
Vince McMahon had a surprise meeting with the wrestlers at a house show this week, mostly to boost the recent poor morale and reassure everyone. With house shows being cut, a lot of the talent is justifiably paranoid, especially the lower and midcard guys. WWF stars only get paid when they work a show and with a lot of the recent house shows being cancelled, some of the guys have seen their overall income drop by 60-70%.
A lot of WWF guys are talking about leaving, but most of them wouldn’t be able to make a living in wrestling anywhere else if WCW didn’t take them.
WWF signed a 2-year contract extension with the USA Network that will run through the end of 1997.
Adam Bomb is at a legal impasse with WWF. They won’t release him from his contract but have no interest in using him, so he’s just sitting at home right now, unable to negotiate with WCW or anything, although he is allowed to work indies.
