Ron Simmons
The eighth match of the night, a match between Stan Hansen and Big Van Vader ended in a disqualification when both wrestlers threw the referee out of the ring to continue their brawl. After Lex Luger defeated Dan Spivey to retain the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship supposedly-retired wrestler Nikita Koloff came to the ring to present Luger with a new United States championship, but instead he attacked Luger to start a storyline between the two. In the semi-main event The Freebirds (Jimmy Garvin and Michael Hayes) defeated Doom (Butch Reed and Ron Simmons) to win the WCW World Tag Team Championship. After the match Reed and Long turned on their longtime partner Ron Simmons, ending Doom as a team and allowing Ron Simmons to become a "face" in the eyes of the fans. Due to WCW's television taping schedule the Fabulous Freebirds had already wrestled a match against The Steiner Brothers where they lost the championship six days prior to the PPV, but the match had not yet aired on TV.
