WCW's "Scaffold Showdown" Review
The Baltimore Arena played host to WCW's most thrilling event of the year, "Scaffold Showdown", a pay-per-view spectacle that left fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish. With a packed house of 7,000 enthusiastic supporters, the atmosphere was electric as some of the promotion's top stars clashed in a series of intense matches.
The night began with a thrilling Scaffold Flag Tag Team Match featuring Beautiful Bobby and PN News taking on Steve Austin and Terrance Taylor. The high-flying action saw both teams trading near-falls, but it was the duo of Bobby and News who emerged victorious, claiming the win after 7:32 of non-stop excitement.
The Diamond Studd looked sharp in his singles match against The Z-Man, dispatching his opponent with a devastating powerslam in just 6:57. Meanwhile, Ron Simmons showed why he's considered one of WCW's top contenders with a hard-hitting victory over Oz, clocking in at 7:56.
The main event quarterfinals saw Richard Morton and Robert Gibson engage in an epic singles match that went the distance, with Morton ultimately claiming the win after 17:23. The crowd was stunned by the sheer tenacity displayed by both competitors.
In a shocking upset, Dustin Rhodes and his Young Pistols partners (Steve Armstrong and Tracy Smothers) took down the Fabulous Freebirds (Badstreet, Jimmy Garvin, and Michael Hayes) in a chaotic Non-Title Six Man Tag Team Elimination Match that left fans on their feet. The 17:03 contest was an instant classic, with all eight competitors giving it their all.
The undercard featured some thrilling action as well, including Johnny B. Badd's spirited loss to The Yellow Dog (6:00) and Big Josh's dominant win over Black Blood in a Lumberjack Match (5:39). El Gigante also made an impact with his victory over One Man Gang in just 6:13.
However, the real main event took place when Nikita Koloff faced off against Sting in a grueling Russian Chain Match. The two competitors clashed in a test of endurance and strength that saw both men give everything they had. In the end, it was Koloff who emerged victorious after an exhausting 11:46.
But the true spectacle of the night came in the Steel Cage World Heavyweight Title Match between Lex Luger and Barry Windham. The two competitors battled fiercely, trading blows and near-falls as the crowd watched with bated breath. In the end, it was Luger who claimed the victory and retained his title.
