Zohash.com - July 18th, 1993
Last night in Biloxi, Mississippi, the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) presented a pay-per-view spectacle that will be etched in the memories of wrestling enthusiasts for a long time to come. The Gulf Coast Coliseum played host to an action-packed card that showcased some of the best professional wrestlers on the planet.
The evening kicked off with a thrilling encounter between Paul Orndorff and Ron Simmons, with Orndorff emerging victorious in a WCW World Television Title match. The "Macho Man" put away Simmons with his signature piledriver to secure the win in 11:15 minutes of high-flying action.
Next up, the crowd was treated to an exciting tag team match featuring 2 Cold Scorpio and Marcus Alexander Bagwell taking on Shanghai Pierce and Tex Slazenger. Scorpio's aerial attacks left the opposing duo reeling, allowing Bagwell to seal the deal with a devastating powerslam in 12:48 minutes.
Lord Steven Regal made quick work of Erik Watts, submitting him to his trademark armbar in just 7:31 minutes. This early victory set the tone for what was to come later in the evening.
Johnny B. Badd's rivalry with Maxx Payne continued as he took down the latter in a hard-hitting singles match. The "Badd" boy claimed victory in 4:50 minutes, further cementing his reputation as a formidable competitor.
The Hollywood Blondes - Flyin' Brian and Stunning Steve - put on a showstopping performance against The Four Horsemen (Arn Anderson and Paul Roma) in the penultimate match of the evening. This highly competitive bout saw the blond duo ultimately emerge victorious, wrapping up their opponents in 26:14 minutes of thrilling action.
The main event of the night took place in the WCW United States Title 30-minute Iron Man match between Dustin Rhodes and Rick Rude.

Ultimately, the bout ended in a thrilling draw, with each wrestler scoring one fall.
However, the night's true showstopper was the NWA World Heavyweight Title match between Ric Flair and Barry Windham. The "Nature Boy" proved his worth by besting the challenger Windham to retain his title, further solidifying his status as one of the all-time greats in professional wrestling.
To close out the night, a tag team match pitting the unlikely duo of Davey Boy Smith and Sting against the formidable Masters Of The Powerbomb (Big Van Vader and Sid Vicious) took center stage.
