Clash of the Champions XXIII

Clash of the Champions XXIII
6/23/94 - Charleston, SC

Heenan & Schiavone are your announce team and they basically go straight to the ring.

Tags: 1. Jack & Sullivan (c) d. Nasty Boy's
Pretty much the same match as RL, both teams go crazy. Ends when Cactus hits the Double-Arm DDT and picks up the win. Nasty's try to attack afterward, but Sullivan & Cactus kick their ass out of the ring. This pretty much wraps up the Jack & Sullivan/Nasty's feud. We'll even have Evad come out and celebrate with the boys. One big happy family.

2. Guardian Angel p. Tex Slazenger

Basic squash to get the gimmick over. After the match, quick promo, says it doesn't matter who WCW puts in front of him, he's rising straight to the top. Again.

From there, cut to a backstage promo w/ Flair & Steamboat. Ricky is Ricky and Ric is Ric. Then, Funk enters the area. Flair bigtimes him how he has no partner, that nobody even likes him in the back, how he's still the best thing going today when - KONK!

Enter Arn Anderson knocking Ric Flair in the back of his skull. Steamboat tries to save, but Funk attacks him too. Funk takes the mic, does a 'WOOO' of his own, then he and Arn simply walk off as Steamboat tends to Flair.

TV : 3. Lord Steven Regal p. Larry Zybysko (c)
Regal gets his title back in what should be a solid match. Zybysko goes back to the commentary booth permanently.

After that, Dustin Rhodes comes out and says he has a big surprise. He's calling out the Stud Stable for the Bash at the Beach and he's got a partner...cue Dusty. Big family reunion promo, how Dustin is the future of the business and Dusty is honored just to be asked to be his partner.

US: 4. Steve Austin (c) p. Johnny B Badd
Good match just like it was in RL. However, no screwy finish like in RL. Austin gets the semi-clean pin (w/ tights) and says to the camera he's the most dominant US champion of all-time.

We're back to the locker room where Gene is w/Arn & Funk. Arn explains his turn, how for almost two years, Ric walked out on Arn and 'went up North trying to become a bigger legend' and forgot all about Arn. Then, when he came back, he acted like it was old times again and how he blamed Arn when the Horsemen fell apart. "Well, the Horsemen are dead. Buried in the ground."

5. Funk/Arn (w/ Col. Rob Parker) d. Flair/Steamboat
This one will go long. Around twenty-five minutes. Things will split opposite of what people expect at the beginning with Arn/Steamboat and Flair/Funk being paired together for the most part. In fact, the only contact Arn & Flair have is a few skirmishes breaking up pins, etc. Match ends in a Pier Six, Arn knocks Steamboat to the outside, Meng & Arn destroy Steamboat on the outside, Funk hits the piledriver on Flair and gets the pin. Show ends with the whole Stud Stable in the ring celebrating.

Next Up - We go the Beach. For a Bash.
