Wrestlewar 1991 was the third Wrestlewar event produced by World Championship Wrestling which took place on 10th February 1991

## Background

The main match heading into the show is Ric Flair defending his WCW Heaviweight Championship against Ricky Steamboat, this is their third and final match. At Halloween Havoc 1990, they started this series in a 1 on 1 match with Ric Flair locking in the figure four and Arn Anderson grabbing Steamboat's hand and making him tap out without the ref seeing, Steamboat issued another challenge to Flair in a 2 out of 3 falls 60 minute time limit match, Ted Turner added the stipulation that if Four Horsemen interfered, Flair would lose the title, at Starrcade 1990 in a match that broke the star scale with 5.25, Flair and Steamboat were tied 1-1 and with 10 seconds to go, Steamboat did the shining wizard and pinned Flair to win but in a disappointing turn of events, Ted Turner came out after the match revealing that Ric Flair's hand was under the rope during the pinfall, therefore the match ended with a time limit draw and Ric Flair is still champion. Ric Flair respected Steamboat after this big effort and decided to give him one last shot, no DQ's, no countout's, no interferences, no time limit, STEEL CAGE MATCH.

* Ric Flair put the figure four leglock on top of the steel cage(idk if physics work here but fuck it it's fantasy booking for a reason smh), Flair stops it, hangs on the cage and pulls Steamboat's leg for him to fall down from there, he once again puts him on the figure four leglock in the ring and after 3 minutes Steamboat finally taps out as he might have broken legs
