On the road the WCW Great American Bash! The main event features Scott Hall and Kevin Nash vs Rowdy Roddy Piper and Ric Flair! Before going into this match there was supposed confusion on what was going to happen! This led to a huge fight backstage after the show was off air. Both Kevin Nash and Roddy Piper were allegedly upset which led to a big brawl. Depending on who tells the story, the outcome was different. Also, WCW was winning the Monday Night War and this show tells us why. Tons of great matches including, a lucha libre rules tag match, Hollywood Hogan vs Lex Luger, and even Akira Hokuto wrestlers. They were on fire. Plus, in the main event The Outsiders vs Piper and Flair that leads to a huge brawl with the entire locker room fighting it out. It's anarchy….and that it's we're all out of time!⦁ Deadlock Discord: https://discord.gg/E4BvR4W ⦁ Deadlock Shop: https://shop.deadlockpw.com ⦁ Deadlock Patreon: https://patreon.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Twitter: https://twitter.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Instagram: https://instagram.com/deadlockwrestling ⦁ Deadlock Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Pro Wrestling: http://deadlockpro.com

It was the night the "Macho Man" Randy Savage said, "I think I want to take the Diamond Cutter tonight!" And take it, he did! This is the match that made people look at Diamond Dallas Page as a bonified main eventer. Also on this card, we see Booker T & Stevie Ray (who were a team at the time) taking on The Giant & Lex Luger (who were a team at the time) in a Four Corners match. Yeah...only 1 winner, and it's every man for himself. Booker hilariously drops the N-word in his promo about Hulk Hogan. We also open the card with Rey Mysterio, Jr. taking on Ultimo Dragon, Akira Hokuto faces Madusa for the WCW Ladies Title, the Public Enemy faces the odd team of Jeff Jarrett and Steve "Mongo" McMichael, both Kevin Nash and Rick Steiner lose their partners and have to go one-on-one for the Tag Titles, and much more!
