Tony Schiavone: WCW Saturday Night is on the air! Hello wrestling fans, I'm Tony Schiavone, joined by Scotty Flamingo, and we are ready to bring you the best in professional wrestling over the next hour, right here on TBS. Also big news coming out of Nitro Monday, with Hulk Hogan set to arrive this coming Monday night on TNT as Nitro comes to you from Nashville, Tennessee.
Scotty Flamingo: Hulk who? Step aside Bony and let me handle this. These people don't want to hear about boring stuff like that, they wanna hear about me. They wanna catch Flamingo fever tonight, and I can't think of a better way than with what we have in store. The new U.S. champion Diamond Dallas Page will be here with us in action, defending the title for the first time ever.
Tony Schiavone: A correction there as Ice Train is still U.S. champion, Page simply stole the belt Monday. But he will be in action.
Scotty Flamingo: Look Bony, possession is 9/10ths of the law where I come from. It might be unofficial to WCW right now, but it's official to me and it will be official whenever that meathead finally gets enough guts to defend the title against DDP. That's the problem with him. All muscle, no guts and no brains either.
Tony Schiavone: Also tonight, Chippewa Charlie Norris will be here. We will hear from the new WCW Tag Team champions The Hollywood Blonds, and in our main event, Cactus Jack and The Road Warriors team against Tex Slazenger and Harlem Heat.
Scotty Flamingo: Or as I like to call them, Texas Heat, the most devastating heat around. And tonight, Cactus I ate too many Big Macs and those idiots The Toad Warriors, they're gonna find it out first hand.
Tony Schiavone: How long did it take you to come up with that?
Scotty Flamingo: Not long surprisingly. I have an IQ greater than the entire WCW locker room combined. Even Einstein would be jealous of my mental prowess.
Tony Schiavone: Alright, when we return, we'll hear from Lord Steven Regal, plus The Natural Dustin Rhodes is in action. Stay with us, WCW Saturday Night returns after a quick word from our sponsors.

WCW TV champion Lord Steven Regal and Jean Paul Levesque kick things off, talking about Larry Zbyszko getting involved in their business. If Zbyszko thinks he can just step up and challenge a champion like himself, he's bloody mad. He will find out just like Shane Douglas found out and everybody before him, that he is the premiere wrestling talent today in WCW. Levesque turns to the match he has with Zbyszko Monday on Nitro and says that he is always trying to be funny in typical low brow American humor, calling a French aristocrat like himself "Pepe Lepew". Levesque intends to be The Road Runner to Zbyszko's Wile E. Coyote, leading Regal to roll his eyes and say Levesque still has a lot to learn about the dreadful American life.
Match #1
Dustin Rhodes defeated Larry Santo via pinfall after the running bulldog. The commentators discuss the recent events with Rhodes and Johnny B. Badd, specifically the challenge by Rhodes for Starrcade and Badd's seemingly random attack of Bullet Bob Armstrong Monday. Flamingo says he is personally glad that somebody shut that old wind bag up. Schiavone calls the Bullet a WCW legend, but Flamingo thinks that the only thing about Armstrong that resembles a "bullet", is how fast he can bore an audience to sleep.
-- Second commercial break --
The Nasty Boys get interviewed about their thoughts on the new WCW Tag Team champions. They say that The Road Warriors may have beaten them to the punch, but they intend to be next in line. Last week they went through Bobby Eaton and Chris Benoit, and next week here on Saturday Night, they want any other team in WCW. Does not matter who or which team, they are going to get a 1 way ticket to Nastyville. Flamingo on commentary says that "The Nancy Boys" should stick to their namesake Nancy Drew and go around solving children's mysteries or something, because they are not cut out for the ring here in WCW.
Match #2
Charlie Norris defeated Lt. James Earl Wright after the flying double tomahawk chop. Flamingo seems mildly impressed with the newcomer Norris on commentary, leading Schiavone to ask him if he would ever consider managing somebody like Norris. Flamingo says he would but he is not sure that Norris even knows how to spell his own name to sign a contract, and rather than pro wrestling and trying to command WCW, he should be looking into hooked on phonics and trying to command a grade 1 education.

Match #3
Diamond Dallas Page defeated Lifeguard Steve Collins via pinfall after the Diamond Clash. With Max Muscle in his corner guarding the stolen WCW U.S. Title belt, DDP makes quick work of Collins, even using a new belly to back inverted mat slam to put him away. Schiavone wonders if DDP could ever hit that move on Ice Train, but Flamingo is more interested in the Lifeguard and wondering if he could get him guest spot on Baywatch so he could meet Pamela Denise Anderson. Schiavone answers that Collins is not from the TV show Baywatch. Flamingo asks Collins?, saying he thought that was David Hasselhoff after a body wax.

Larry Zbyszko is interviewed for his thoughts on the issues he has been having with TV champion Lord Steven Regal and Jean Paul Levesque. Zbyszko starts by correcting Levesque to Pepe Lepew and says that this coming Monday on Nitro, he is going to teach him a thing or 2 about respect in the ring. As far as Regal goes, he likes to duck and hide behind Levesque as long as he can, but sooner or later, it will be just the 2 of them, face to face, and Zbyszko cannot wait until that moment. He says that Regal has blemished the TV Title since winning it, and it is about time that somebody on this side of the Atlantic take it back to where it rightfully belongs, the good ol' USA. If Zbyszko has his way, the match will happen December 29 at Starrcade.

Match #4
Cactus Jack and The Road Warriors defeated Harlem Heat and Tex Slazenger when Cactus pinned Booker T after a double underhook DDT. The Road Warriors and Harlem Heat pick up right where they left off at the Clash of Champions, but trouble begins on the heel team. With Shanghai Pierce at ringside, a miscommunication leads to the Heat arguing with Slazenger and Pierce. Shoving ensued, allowing Booker to get distracted and Cactus to finish him off. The Texicans walked away, leaving Stevie Ray to yell at them. Schiavone tells the viewers that it looks like trouble in paradise, leading Flamingo to ask if that's what Hulk Hogan's new TV show will be about, the problems between Harlem Heat and The Texicans. Schiavone quickly clarifies that the name of the show is Thunder in Paradise, and learning from his predecessor to let sleeping dogs lie aka do not insult Hogan, Flamingo moves on from the subject.
The new WCW Tag Team champions The Hollywood Blonds are interviewed, without manager Col. Robert Parker following his powerbomb at the hands of Sid Vicious on Monday. Steve Austin says that it was only a matter of time before they had the belts back and they have proved that with or without the Colonel by their side, they are back as the dominant tag team in WCW. Asked about The Road Warriors' challenge, Brian Pillman says that The Road Warriors may have beat them before, but it was without the titles on the line and the end result is that it was not important because they were not facing the champion Blonds then, but they would be come Starrcade. Asked if this means they are overlooking the guaranteed rematch that 2 Cold Scorpio and Marcus Alexander Bagwell get on Nitro, Austin says that they overlook nobody and just like they were beat twice before, they will go down a third time, because until the director yells cut, nobody is going to stop The Hollywood Blonds.
Tony Schiavone closes the show by reminding viewers to tune in this coming Monday for Nitro on TNT at 8pm eastern, and to come back next week at 6:05 for more WCW on Saturday Night. Until then, so long!
