LCW Redemption Day (November 29, 2009) live from the New Orleans Arena in New Orleans, LA.
From the ring, ring announcer Gary Michael Capetta introduced Creed, who performed “Overcome” as footage from the past few weeks of action in Legends Championship Wrestling played on the LegendsTron as well as footage highlighting Magnum TA and Stone Cold Steve Austin careers and their encounters in Legends Championship Wrestling in the past.
From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko welcomed everyone to the LCW Redemption Day 2009 pay-per-view as fireworks exploded all over the arena.
Team Hokuto (Akira Hokuto, Devil Masami, Dump Matsumoto and Aja Kong) defeated TeamMadusa (LCW Joshi Champion Madusa, Lioness Asuka, Chigusa Nagayo and Jaguar Yokota) in 6:46 in an eight-woman tag team match by pinfall when Akira Hokuto pinned Lioness Asuka with the Northern Lights Bomb. As a result of her victory, Akira Hokuto earned a shot at the LCW Joshi Championship at a future date.
In the back, Jesse The Body Ventura interviewed LCW Women's Champion Luna Vachon about defending the title against former champion Ivory and her sister Lock. Vachon saidLock was focused too much on destroying her and not on what is really important: the LCW Women's Championship, and that will be her undoing. Ventura asked Vachon about the LCW Joshi Championship and Vachon said, "What?" Ventura repeated his question and Vachon said, "What are you talking about? Oh, yeah, that. This (holding up the LCW Women's Championship) is the only women's title in Legends Championship Wrestling that really matters. This is sanctioned, this is recognized, this is fought for, this is earned, and tonight, this is staying right where it is!"
Paul Orndorff defeated LCW International Champion Barry Windham (with J.J. Dillon) in 9:32 by pinfall after the piledriver to win the LCW International Championship.
In the back, Jesse The Body Ventura interviewed Magnum TA about his match tonight with LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin. Magnum said he wasn't going to lay claim to something that wasn't his at the moment, but added that he would be the champion again tonight. Magnum said the only truth going into the match was that while he wasn't the champion, he wasn't the champion because of someone else, not because he lost the title. He wasn't the champion because someone attacked him and someone else said he wasn't medically cleared to wrestle and then someone else took the title away from him. Magnum said he was going to prove tonight that he should still be the champion when he becomes the champion again.
The Dynamite Kid defeated Macho Man Randy Savage in 7:04 by pinfall when Dynamite pinned Savage with a small package rollup after knocking Savage off the top rope as he attempted the flying elbow smash.
In the back, Jesse The Body Ventura interviewed the Desperados (Stan Hansen, the Bass Brothers, Black Bart, Dirty Dutch Mantel, Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass) about the Bass Brothers' match tonight with Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater in which the losing team will not be able to team together anymore and the lumberjack match between Hansen and LCW United States Champion Superstar Billy Graham. Parker said the Bass Brothers were going to end the long running feud with Orton and Slater once and for all tonight. Hansen said he was going to take back the LCW United States Championship because the Desperados would be at ringside and they wouldn't let him down.
LCW United States Champion Superstar Billy Graham defeated Stan Hansen (with Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass) in 6:02 by pinfall after the powerslam in a lumberjack match. During the match, the lumberjacks started brawling which allowed Graham to hit Hansen with the powerslam for the pinfall and the win.
In the back, Jesse The Body Ventura interviewed LCW World Tag Team Champions The Midnight Express, with their manager Dennis Condrey, who said they were ignored for 12 months, but came back and won the LCW World Tag Team Championships because they are that damn good. He said they were going to prove tonight that the Nasty Boys winning the titles from them last year was a fluke, a mistake that wouldn't be repeated. LCW World Tag Team Champions The Midnight Express (with Dennis Condrey) defeated the Nasty Boys in 10:12 by pinfall when Bobby Eaton pinned Brian Knobbs after the Rocket Launcher.
In the back, Jesse The Body Ventura interviewed LCW Heritage Champion Kevin Von Erich and Bret Hart about their upcoming match. Hart and Von Erich both talked about their family history in the wrestling business and said they were going to make their families proud tonight. The two men shook hands and went their separate ways.
Bret Hart defeated LCW Heritage Champion Kevin Von Erich in 7:12 by submission with the Sharpshooter to win the LCW Heritage Championship. After the match, Hart extended his hand for a handshake and Von Erich acted as if he was going to shake Hart's hand, but instead he kicked him in the crotch and then locked on the Claw. Security officials arrived and Von Erich refused to release the Claw. Macho Man Randy Savage came out and hit Von Erich with a flying double axehandle from the top rope, forcing Von Erich to break the hold. Von Erich rolled out of the ring as Savage checked on Hart.
In the back, Jesse The Body Ventura interviewed Dr. Death Steve Williams who said that because of his health, tonight, win, lose, or draw might be the last time he steps into a Legends Championship Wrestling ring, but he was going to give Bill Goldberg everything he has. Williams said, "If you want to be here, if you want to belong here, if you think you deserve to be here, you don't have to prove it to them, you have to prove it to me."
Lock defeated LCW Women's Champion Luna Vachon and Ivory in 9:02 in a triple threat match to win the LCW Women's Championship. During the match, Vachon hit Lock with the Twilight DDT and climbed the turnbuckle. Ivory caught Vachon in the middle of an attempted Luna Eclipse and hit her with the Poison Ivory. Lock then hit Ivory with the Lock, Stock and Barrel for the pinfall and the win. After the match, Lock cackled maniacally at her opponents and screamed, "Now it's all over! My revenge is complete and you're left with nothing!" Vachon and Ivory got back to their feet, looked at each other and then double-clotheslined Lock out of the ring.
In the back, Jesse The Body Ventura interviewed Bill Goldberg who said he was going to prove tonight he belongs in Legends Championship Wrestling and is a Legend. He said he was going to do what cancer could do: "I'm gonna kill Dr. Death!"
Bill Goldberg defeated Dr. Death Steve Williams in 15:26 by knockout with a rear naked choke. During the match, Williams kept trying to break the hold, but Goldberg kept reapplying it and eventually knocked Williams out. From the broadcast booth, Schiavone noted that Williams refused to submit and would rather die than quit fighting. After the match, Goldberg helped Williams to his feet. Williams shook Goldberg's hand and walked out of the ring.
In the back, Jesse The Body Ventura interviewed LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin about his upcoming title defense against Magnum TA. Austin said if anybody other than him could lay claim to this title it would be Magnum TA, but he wasn't going to get it back tonight. Austin saidMagnum wants to complain about not losing the title, but tonight is his chance to prove that to be true. He said the only bad news he had for Magnum was that he wasn't going to get to prove it tonight.
The Bass Brothers (with Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass) defeated Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater in 8:23 by pinfall when Ron Bass pinned Slater after the Texas Gourdbuster. As a result of a pre-match stipulation, Orton and Slater will no longer be able to remain a team. After the match, Orton and Slater started to argue, each blaming the other for the loss. The two finally came to blows and started brawling. The brawl went outside the ring, through the crowd, and to the back.
In the back, Jesse The Body Ventura interviewed Big Van Vader, who referred to Wildfire Tommy Rich as a speed bump he was going to run over before getting back on the road to the LCW Universal Championship.
Big Van Vader defeated Wildfire Tommy Rich in 1:24 by pinfall after the powerbomb.
In the back, LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin was making his way through the arena corridor when he passed by Big Van Vader who was returning from ringside. Vader and Austin started exchanging words as Vader said he was coming after Austin. He and Austin exchanged some blows before Stan Hansen came out of nowhere and blasted Austin with the Lariat clothesline. Magnum TA and security officials came out and chased Vader and Austin away. LCW General Manager Harley Race approached and asked Austin if he was still able to wrestle. Austin said he was as Magnum helped him to his feet. Race sent Magnum to ringside and said Austin would be out there in a minute. Magnum walked away as Race continued checking on Austin, getting reassurances that he was ready to face Magnum.
LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Magnum TA in 23:17 by pinfall after the Stone Cold Stunner. During the match, Bill Goldberg interfered and tried to hit Magnum with the Spear, but Magnum moved out of the way and Goldberg fell to the mat. Goldberg got back to his feet and Magnum hit him with the belly-to-belly suplex. Goldberg rolled out of the ring and when Magnum turned around Austin hit him with the Stone Cold Stunner for the pinfall and the win.

LCW Redemption Day 2009 Pay-Per-View Official Preview
This Sunday night, LCW presents another pay-per-view extravaganza: Redemption Day. Which Legends will get their redemption, and which will have redemption beaten out of them? Let's take a look at the card:
Wildfire Tommy Rich vs. Big Van Vader Big Van Vader is, obviously, one of the most dominating men on the LCW roster – and has been his entire career. However, in recent weeks and months, LCW has been less about Vader than he'd like. This Sunday, Vader looks to change all that when he takes on Wildfire Tommy Rich. Can Big Van Vader return to his dominating ways of old? Or will Wildfire Tommy Rich prove that “Vader Time” has run out?!
Madusa, Lioness Asuka, Chigusa Nagayo and Jaguar Yokota vs. Akira Hokuto, Devil Masami, Aja Kong, Dumo Matsumoto. If Hokuto's team wins, she gets a rematch for LCW Joshi Championship For Akira Hokuto, she feels that she is overlooked in Legends Championship Wrestling and will do anything to prove that she's better than the other Lady Legends on the roster. Including creating her own championship – the LCW Joshi Championship. This Sunday, eight of the most Legendary female figures to ever have come out of Japan will do battle. For Hokuto's team, or Hokuto herself, it's about regaining the championship she brought into LCW – the LCW Joshi title. But can she, and her team, make that a reality? We'll have to find out this Sunday.
Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater vs. The Bass Brothers (with Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass) with the losing team having to break up and never team again When Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass began a formidable group known as the Desperados they hoped that the group would consist of Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater – formerly under Parker's leadership – but that was not to be. Orton and Slater, instead of joining the force, decided that they were going to "go it alone." The feud between the Bass Brothers and Orton and Slater extends many months, but only reignited when Parker and Bass finally united as one. This Sunday, only one team can survive and remain a unit. However, the question is: which team can do such?! Macho Man Randy Savage vs. Dynamite Kid Thanks to the Showdown Championship Draft, a war has been started. Weeks ago, when the Dynamite Kid took the LCW Heritage Championship from Bret Hart – he looked to be on top of the world. However, only one week later, Macho Man Randy Savage took the belt from Kid – despite Kid's arrogant promise to the contrary. Kid, the next week, would get his revenge on Savage, costing him the Heritage Championship. Since then, the blood has been boiling between the former WWF Champion and the British great. This Sunday, it comes to a head.
LCW World Tag Team Champions Midnight Express (with Dennis Condrey) vs. The Nasty Boys Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it. The Midnight Express were MIA from LCW for nearly a year. This past Wednesday on LCW Showdown, they returned to glory as, via the Showdown Championship Draft, they took back the LCW World Tag Team Championships. It was at LCW Endgame 2008 that the Nasty Boys beat the Midnight Express for the belts, sending the Midnight Express home. However, this Sunday, they look to exorcise some demons as they take on the pair that caused their extended hiatus. Will The Midnight Express make the most of their journey to Nastyville and retain the LCW World Tag Team Championships... or will we have a repeat of last year?
LCW Heritage Champion Kevin Von Erich vs. Bret Hart The formula for this match is very simple: two men, one championship and a battleground to settle who is the best family in this history of professional wrestling. For Bret Hart, losing the LCW Heritage Championship on October 28th edition of LCW Showdown, he lost a part of his soul. This past week, Kevin Von Erich won the title. Before the match – in which he beat then-champion King Kong Bundy – he accepted a challenge from Hart to a title match. Now, it's on. The Von Erichs and the Harts are two of the most famed names in professional wrestling. With famous names such as Owen Hart, Bret himself and Jim Neidhart all part of that family, Bret looks to make all of them proud this Sunday as he attempts to bring back the LCW Heritage Championship. But can he do it against a Von Erich?
LCW United States Champion Superstar Billy Graham vs. Stan Hansen (with Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass) When Superstar Billy Graham recaptured his magic and won the LCW United States Championship, he did so at the expense of Stan Hansen who had the title as a result of the Showdown Championship Draft Series. Hansen, being the hot-tempered Legend that he is, wouldn't let that settle and decided that he wanted his championship back. Can he get the title back this Sunday?! And what role will Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass play in the match? LCW Women's Champion Luna Vachon vs. Ivory vs. Lock in a triple threat match When LCW General Manager Harley Race brought the LCW Women's Championship out of retirement, it sparked a fire of competition under every Lady Legend. It even came between sisters, Lock and Luna Vachon. Lock, who was chosen to compete in a battle royal because Luna had other plans, was attacked in the locker room and forced out of the battle royal by Luna herself. Obviously, this didn't sit well with Lock. But, she confused fans when she helped Vachon win the LCW Women's Championship over then-champion Ivory. Lock and Ivory had a confrontation this past week on LCW Showdown in which Lock stated that she wanted to rip the title away from Vachon and cause her the ultimate distress. Ivory, obviously, will have something to say about that. Which Lady Legend will come out on top, holding the LCW Women's title this Sunday?
LCW International Champion Barry Windham vs. Paul Orndorff Winning the much coveted Sam Muchnick Memorial Battle Royal at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special means a lot. Not only because of what the battle royal represents, but also because upon the victor was bestowed a shot at the LCW International Championship. Paul Orndorff is that man, and this Sunday, he will face Barry Windham in a match for the much sought after title. Orndorff had the chance to become the LCW Heritage Champion thanks to the Showdown Championship Draft. He was unsuccessful in that attempt, but his pride will not let him be unsuccessful again this Sunday. Barry Windham, who rides a wave of momentum heading into Redemption Day, beat Dr. Death Steve Williams for the title – who had been dominating for months – on October 11, on LCW Showdown. Which man can leave LCW International Champion?
Bill Goldberg vs. Dr. Death Steve Williams A war that has been raging for months, initially started between Goldberg and Williams over the LCW International Championship. At LCW Night of Horrors, the two gave the performances of their lives in a battle which was a match of the year candidate in many people's eyes. Williams, who was recently re-diagnosed with cancer, managed to retain his title on that night, forcing himself and his rival Goldberg to form mutual respect. However, Williams soon felt that Goldberg was trying to help him unnecessarily and the rivalry intensified.
LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Magnum TA This is it. This is what everyone has been waiting for. Since July 12, 2009, at the LCW Beach Brawl pay-per-view, Stone Cold Steve Austin has reigned over LCW as the top dog as the LCW Universal Championship. Not even the continuous title defenses as part of the Showdown Championship Draft, or the looming threat of Sid Vicious has derailed the Texas Rattlesnake. Magnum TA, a former LCW Universal Champion, never lost the title as it was forced away from him thanks to a backstage assault. Magnum, the longest reigning champion in LCW's four year history, will, this Sunday, attempt to bring that title back home with him. LCW fans who were with us in our early years will remember a feud between these two over the LCW International Championship. Now, however, the stakes are higher than they were back then, and the anticipation for this match is higher than any match in recent memory. What will happen when two of LCW's top Legends fight it out over the top prize in the company? Find out this Sunday at LCW Redemption Day.
[Feature Story] Road to Redemption - Austin vs. Magnum
by Matt Saye
When you try and think of two of the biggest names/personalities in professional wrestling history, you think of these two men. One is, above everything, one the most successful wrestlers in the business during any period. He helped an organization win a war when it was struggling to survive. The other, classed as the World Champion that never was, is also credited as the longest reigning LCW Universal Champion in the long 4-plus year history of Legends Championship Wrestling. This Sunday, these two charismatic and popular Legends will step into the LCW ring with one purpose in mind: becoming the top dog.
It's Magnum vs. Austin – this Sunday at Redemption Day.
Looking at Magnum TA:
On June 22, 2008, Magnum TA's finest hour was viewed by the millions of LCW fans around the world. For on the premier stage that this company has to offer, Magnum TA would defeat friend-turned-rival Nikita Koloff in a match considered nothing short of a classic. The match, which went six minutes short of a half-hour, culminated in Magnum hitting Koloff with a belly-to-belly suplex and capturing the most prestigious prize for any Legend today: the LCW Universal Championship. No-one quite knew what direction Magnum's career would take now that he held the crown, and no-one would have expected Magnum's reign to last almost one entire year. Nikita Koloff, Dr. Death Steve Williams, The Raging Bull Manny Fernandez and even Stone Cold Steve Austin himself all fell at the feet of Magnum.
Magnum made an impact on the title, bringing honor, prestige and respect to the much coveted top championship. With so many obstacles set in his way, many didn't believe that Magnum was capable of such feats of heart and determination, but he proved them wrong.
"Magnum's run with the LCW Universal Championship, in my opinion, solidified Magnum as a top Legend in this company,” said Christian Calaway, LCW Founder and Chairman of the Board. “When you think about the enormity of the challenges he faced during his unprecedented run with the belt, it shows you the heart and determination the man had to prove that he deserved to wear the gold he wore.”
This year, at LCW Beach Brawl in July, Magnum's reign came to an abrupt end when he was assaulted in the locker room, moments before a big title defense against Bill Goldberg. To this day, no-one knows who it was that attacked Magnum, but we all know how much that crushed Magnum's soul as he was unable to defend his title.
LCW Commentator Tony Schiavone said, “I spoke with Magnum shortly after Beach Brawl. He was heart broken.” Schiavone continued, “His pride for wearing that LCW Universal Championship was crushed with three simple words: you can't compete. But I think, that night truly re-ignited Magnum's raging fire to be the best he can be, and regain the LCW Universal title.”
Looking at Stone Cold:
However, LCW Beach Brawl wasn't a complete bust for everyone. Due to Magnum's injury at the hands of his attacker, Eric Bischoff, then LCW General Manager, forced Magnum to forfeit the title and named Bill Goldberg the new LCW Universal Champion, but Calaway appeared and informed Goldberg he'd be forced to defend the title immediately. The man he defended it against was none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Austin is a man who's no stranger to being at the top of his profession. For the last decade and more, Stone Cold has been selling out arenas, winning championships, kicking ass and drinking beer all over the world. Austin, who rose to fame during the infamous WWF Attitude Era, and helped Vince McMahon in his quest to defeat the mighty WCW empire, Austin's name was to be forever etched in history as one of the greats. Even as a Legend in Legends Championship Wrestling, Steve Austin's career has not been any less than his career in the WWF. Austin has held the belt no less than 3 times – his current being the third – the first two titles being won over against Nikita Koloff, and the third and current being over Bill Goldberg. His combined reigns spanning nearly 11 months, arguably as impressive as Magnum TA's one reign with the title.
“Stone Cold Steve Austin's accomplishments are endless in this business,” Christian Calaway said. “Steve and I have had our differences, much like he did with Vince McMahon, but I've always held a great deal of respect for the man. He wouldn't be in this company, my company, if I didn't.” Finally, Calaway added, “When you talk about someone who helped put professional wrestling in the mainstream, you have to mention Steve Austin. Truly a Legend worthy of the stature he has acquired.”
Steve Austin, much like challenger Magnum, knows no boundaries in the extreme lengths he'll go to not only win the championship, but to hold onto the championship – a war he's waging currently.
The Common Bond:
Earlier this year, these two soon-to-be opponents found a common bond. As Ted Turner – then LCW Chairman of the Board – tried to take over Legends Championship Wrestling once and for all, leaving Christian Calaway in the dirt, Austin and Magnum united.
Along with several other legends, including Bret Hart, Nikita Koloff, and Randy Savage, Magnum and Austin fought the battle alongside the Founder to put the company back in the right hands: the creator's hands. At LCW Caged Heat in August, Magnum and Austin fought in the ultimate steel cage match: WarGames. Ultimately, Austin and Magnum's contributions led to the success of Calaway over Turner, and Turner's permanent exit from Legends Championship Wrestling.
However, everyone knew that sooner or later, Austin and Magnum would have to collide.
Bringing it All Together:
Both of these men's paths have brought us to the culmination of this collision course. The grand finale, which will take place this Sunday night at the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view event. Fans will finally witness the dream match so many years in the making: Austin vs. Magnum for the ultimate prize.
“For Stone Cold Steve Austin, it's all about solidifying his title reign,” said LCW General Manager Harley Race, former NWA Heavyweight Champion. “However, Magnum TA's dream is to once again become LCW Universal Champion and do as well, if not better, than he did the first time.”
“This match is the reason I founded Legends Championship Wrestling," said Christian Calaway. “It's not just some hyped-up dream match. It's a dream match from two men who can deliver. They've done it before, we've seen it before, and they've delivered every time they've stepped into the ring together, but it's never been like this. It's never been so important. This is about Magnum proving that he should still be champion, that he should have never lost the title in the first place. It's about Austin proving once and for all that he deserves to be champion by beating the man who defined the phrase LCW Universal Champion."
Conclusion:
At the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view this Sunday, two of the biggest stars in Legends Championship Wrestling will collide, but only one can leave LCW Universal Champion. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what they call a dream match.
Join us tomorrow for the complete LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view preview.
LCW Redemption Day 2008 Pay-Per-View Results 11.30.08
LCW Redemption Day Pay-Per-View Results (November 30, 2008) live from the Kemper Arena in Kansas City, MO.
From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko welcomed everyone to the LCW Redemption Day 2008 pay-per-view as "Never Enough" by Five Finger Death Punch, the official theme song for LCW Redemption Day 2008, played in the background and as fireworks exploded all over the arena. Schiavone and Zbyszko reviewed the complete card and also talked about LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway and announced that Calaway was officially under investigation from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and footage was shown of SEC representatives raiding LCW Headquarters in Sacramento, CA, Friday afternoon. Schiavone noted that a warrant for Calaway’s arrest had been issued on the charges of insider trading. In the parking lot, LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway was shown arriving in a limousine and got out of the limousine with six lawyers and was approached by Bill Mercer. Mercer asked Calaway about the SEC investigation and Calaway said his lawyers had told him not to comment. Calaway walked away with the lawyers and went to his office.
Don Muraco, Superstar Billy Graham, Greg Valentine, and the Wild Samoans (with Sir Oliver Humperdink) defeated The Great Kabuki, Killer Khan, Kendo Nagasaki, and the Powers of Pain (with Mr. Fuji) in 6:13 by pinfall when Muraco pinned Kabuki after a reverse piledriver after Fuji accidentally threw powder in Kabuki’s eyes.
From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko talked about the upcoming locked box ladder match as a workman was shown in the rafters attaching a key to the chain that would hang above the ring for the ladder match and as two referees carried out the locked box that the title belt would be placed in during the match. Schiavone reminded everyone that the object of the match was to secure key above the ring and then go up the entrance ramp and unlock the box and secure the title from the locked box. In the back, Bill Mercer interviewed LCW Heritage Champion Kevin Von Erich about his upcoming match with Stan Hansen. Von Erich said it wasn’t about proving who was “more Texas” anymore and it wasn’t even about Lady Amazon anymore. Von Erich said it was about proving who was the best and who was most deserving of calling themselves the LCW Heritage Champion.
Stan Hansen defeated LCW Heritage Champion Kevin Von Erich in 11:02 by decision in a locked box ladder match to win the LCW Heritage Championship. During the match, Hansen hit Von Erich with the Lariat clothesline before climbing the ladder and securing the key to the locked box. Hansen fell off the ladder after securing the key and landed on the mat awkwardly. As Hansen made his way up the entrance ramp, Von Erich followed behind him. Hansen turned around and went to hit Von Erich with the Lariat, but he misstepped and Von Erich moved out of the way, turned around, and locked the claw on Hansen, taking him down to the entrance ramp. Hansen dropped the key and Von Erich knocked Hansen out with the claw. Von Erich picked up the key and made his way up the entrance ramp and approached the locked box on the entrance stage. Von Erich tried to unlock the box, but it didn’t work. Von Erich tried again and the key wouldn’t unlock the box. Von Erich looked around as the referee tried the key, but it still wouldn’t unlock the box. Meanwhile, Hansen made his way to the top of the entrance ramp and blasted Von Erich with the Lariat clothesline. Hansen then picked up the key and threw it into the crowd. From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone said, “What is he doing!?! If he can’t unlock the box, he can’t secure the title, he can’t win title!” Seconds later, the workman who secured the key above the ring before the match appeared and handed Hansen another key before taking off his hat to reveal himself to be a her…Stan Hansen’s valet, Lady Amazon! From the broadcast booth, Schiavone said, “She switched the keys! Lady Amazon switched the keys before the match!” With the real key in his hand, Hansen unlocked the box and secured the LCW Heritage Championship. From the broadcast booth, Schiavone said, “This was Stan Hansen’s match. It was his suggestion to have a locked box ladder match. You’ve got to believe this was a setup from the beginning. They had this planned from the beginning.” Hansen left with the title and Lady Amazon.
A special video package featuring Harley Race’s career highlights played on the LegendsTron. After the video package played, in the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Race about taking on Vader tonight. Race talked about winning his first NWA World Heavyweight Championship from Dory Funk, Jr., in Kansas City, Missouri. He talked about winning his seventh NWA World Heavyweight Championship from Ric Flair in Kansas City, Missouri. He talked about helping Big Van Vader win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship three times. He talked about helping Vader win the LCW Universal Championship once and the LCW International Championship three times. Race talked about how, as much as he tried, Vader could never regain the LCW Universal Championship. Race said Vader could never measure up and, try as he might, would never be the champion Harley Race was and he would prove it tonight when he won the LCW International Championship from Vader in Kansas City, Missouri.
Dr. Death Steve Williams (with Cowboy Bill Watts) defeated Nikita Koloff (with Ivan Koloff) in 10:51 by pinfall after the Oklahoma Stampede. During the match, Cowboy Bill Watts attempted to interfere, but Ivan Koloff got into the ring and brawled with Watts. The two men brawled out of the ring and to the floor and distracted Nikita Koloff. When he turned around Williams hit him with a spear and then the Oklahoma Stampede for the pinfall and the win.
In the back, Bill Mercer interviewed Wildfire Tommy Rich about his upcoming hair vs. hair match with Austin Idol and Rich said after he beat Idol he'd do some strutting, but would leave the cutting to someone else.
Wildfire Tommy Rich defeated Austin Idol in 7:21 by pinfall after the Wildfire Driver in a hair vs. hair match. After the match, LCW United States Champion Brutus Beefcake came out with hair clippers and joined Rich in shaving Idol’s head. Hollywood John Tatum, with Missy Hyatt, came out and tried to save Idol, but Wildfire Tommy Rich knocked him out of the ring over the top rope with a dropkick as Beefcake continued shaving Idol’s head.
In the back, Bill Mercer interviewed Demolition about their upcoming falls count anywhere, street fight match with the Destruction Crew. Ax talked about having a cinder block crushed over his head with a sledgehammer by the Destruction Crew and not being able to wrestle tonight, but said that he and Smash had found a partner to take his place that knew a thing or two about street fights. Mercer pressed them about who the mystery partner was and Smash said he couldn’t tell Mercer, but said, “Being in this street fight tonight, with this guy (referring to the mystery partner), well, it’s going to be a rush. Oh, what a rush!” Ax and Smash walked away as Mercer said, “No…it couldn’t be.”
The Destruction Crew defeated Demolition Smash (with Demolition Ax) and Road Warrior Animal in 8:16 by pinfall when Enos pinned Animal after the Wrecking Ball from the top of the entrance ramp to the floor below in a falls count anywhere, street fight match. After the match, Ax helped Smash, but left Animal laying beside the entrance ramp. As they passed by Animal, they looked down at him disgusted. Medical officials arrived as the audience started to boo as Demolition walked away.
In the back, Bill Mercer interviewed the Disciples of Allah: LCW United States Champion Ken Patera, LCW United States Tag Team Champions, The Iron Sheik, Abdullah the Butcher, and managers General Skandor Akbar and Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie. Akbar talked about Patera’s upcoming match with Superfly Jimmy Snuka and the Bolsheviks beating the Nasty Boys. Akbar said the Disciples of Allah was the most dominant force in Legends Championship Wrestling and nothing was going to change that tonight.
Superfly Jimmy Snuka defeated LCW United States Champion Ken Patera (with General Skandor Akbar and Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie) in 7:51 by pinfall after the Superfly Splash to win the LCW United States Championship after Don Muraco came out and knocked Akbar and Al-Kassie out of the ring after they tried to interfere and kept them out of the ring as Snuka hit the Superfly Splash for the pinfall and the win.
In the back, Bill Mercer interviewed the Raging Bull Manny Fernandez about his main event match with LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA. Fernandez said the time for talking was done and he was ready to hurt Magnum TA. Fernandez said he didn’t make this personal. He said Magnum made his personal by denying him a title shot, but no one was going to deny him now and no one would deny him his destiny of being the LCW Universal Championship.
LCW United States Tag Team Champions The Bolsheviks (with General Skandor Akbar and Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie) defeated The Nasty Boys in 6:05 by pinfall when Volkoff pinned Jerry Sags after a backbreker.
In the parking lot, Bill Mercer interviewed Dennis Condrey and Randy Rose, the Original Midnight Express, who complained about being banned from the building.

Piper, wearing a stripped referee's shirt, said, "You know, it's an interesting concept we've got here: I'm the number one contender for the LCW International Championship after this match tonight and I could, in theory, choose my own opponent at the LCW Endgame pay-per-view next month. But I'm going to be fair and honest tonight and call it right down the middle because I want to face the best man and I'm going to raise the arm of the best man tonight and hand him the title. But I want him to know that as I'm raising his arm in the air and handing him the title, in one month, I'm going to be taking that title from him. I wish both Don Muraco and Paul Orndorff the best. I've got history with both men, but tonight isn’t about past history. Tonight is about making history." Piper walked away and made his way to the ring.

Ware and Dark Journey), who were with Iceman King Parsons. Slick said, "You know, I realized my priorities were out of check. I was so focused on gold that I forgot that power is just as important and power is gained through force and the force of the Brothahood just got a little more powerful, baby. Why don't I just let the newest member of the Brothahood, Iceman Kind Parsons tell you why?" Iceman King Parsons said, "When I walked through that curtain tonight and got in that ring and stood side by side with Manny Fernandez everybody thought I was there to help him…until I knocked his ass out with a steel chair. Listen, that roody poot Manny Fernandez is a fool if he actually believed for a minute that I wasn't going to lay his ass our, if he thought of a minute that I wasn't going to align myself with the most dominant force in professional wrestling right now: the Brothahood. Look at us, Mean Gene…" Mean Gene looked around him and said it was an impressive assemblage of talent and Parsons said, "Assemblage of talent?" Parsons grabbed the microphone and pushed Okerlund out of frame and said, "Get out of here, cracka. This isn't an assemblage of talent, roody poot, this is the most dominate group of black men put together since the Black Panthers. Hell, we make the Black Panthers look like pussy cats. But it's like Momma says, it be's that way sometimes. Manny Fernandez, enjoy that title while you've got it because it's coming back to the Brothahood one way or another. Have mercy!"

He's out of action right now after suffering what doctors are calling a spinal stoke last month. Lex is still in a paraplegic state and can't move his arms or legs. But I can tell you this, Gene: Lex Luger is and always will be 'The Total Package' and he will be back in Legends Championship Wrestling sooner rather than later. And he will be better than ever. And I just wanted to say that Luger, you know he's been an American hero, he's been an egotistical heel, he's made some mistakes, but he's really turned his life around and I just want to ask every one out there, like him or not, he's entertained you fans for over 20 years, please pray for Lex and keep him in your thoughts. Thank you, Gene."

During the match, Austin hit Koloff with a second Stone Cold Stunner and began to climb the ladder. Calaway got out of his wheelchair and climbed into the ring, looked down at Nikita Koloff and then looked up at Austin who was halfway up the ladder. Austin looked down at Calaway. From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone screamed, "Oh man, don't tell me Calaway is going to screw Austin again. He said he was a changed man. He said being shot had changed him. It doesn't look like a damn thing has changed!" Calaway looked down at Koloff again and then looked up at Austin as he continued to climb the ladder. Calaway grabbed the ladder and Austin looked down at him and then Calaway released the ladder and walked away as Austin continued to climb to the top and grab the title. Calaway made his way up the entrance ramp and stood on the stage and watched as Austin celebrated his victory and actually signaled his approval. Koloff tried to get back to his feet, but Austin hit him with a third Stone Cold Stunner and Koloff rolled out of the ring. As Austin watched Koloff roll out of the ring, the masked man appeared and attacked Austin from behind with a steel chair. The masked man picked up a microphone and said, "Ooooooh, yeah!" The masked man, who had been attacking Austin for the past several months, took off his mask to reveal himself to be Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Savage said, "Austin, I've been the man who's been the thorn in your side for the past couple of months. I've been the man who has ruined every happy moment and I've just ruined another one for you. You're the LCW Universal Champion, but enjoy while you can because your reign isn’t going to last long." Austin started to get to his feet and Savage blasted Austin again with the steel chair. Savage continued, "I want to make one thing perfectly clear to each and every single one of you (pointing to the crowd), that son of a bitch right there (pointing to Calaway who was still standing on the entrance ramp) came to me with a plan and that plan was to make Austin a target and eliminate him. That man right there (pointing to Calaway who was just staring emotionlessly at Savage) said he would get me what I wanted if I came back to Legends Championship Wrestling. This pay-per-view couldn't have been more aptly named because you did have your redemption day, Mr. Calaway. You did the right thing tonight. But you just made the biggest mistake of your life. You had control of the most unpredictable man in professional wrestling and you let go. You've turned a guided missile into a broken arrow!" Calaway continued to stare at Savage as he continued explaining his actions, "When I lost Sensational Sherri Martel in June, I snapped. I went away and I never wanted to come back. I was a lost man and I wasn't going to come back to LCW. But Calaway came to me and said he could give me what I wanted, what I had, what I used to be: a champion! If I was going to come back, I was going to be the best again." Savage turned to Austin, who was being removed from the ring by medical and security officials, and said, "That title that's around your waist used to be mine. I was the first man to hold that title. Two and a half years ago, I defeated Hulk Hogan in the finals of the 16-man tournament to become the first LCW Universal Champion. Calaway didn't think you deserved to be champion, but he's had a change of heart. I haven't! I still think you're a piece of garbage.
