Beach Blast 1992 was the first Beach Blast event produced by World Championship Wrestling which took place on 21st June 1992

## Background

The main match heading into the show is WCW Heaviweight Champion Vader defending against Kensuke Sasaki. This match came out of nowhere, Ric Flair recently left WCW leaving the main title vacated as WCW were seen forced to make new main event talent quick(Flair had held the belt for 1084 days pretty much defeating everyone so no stars were being made) Vader won the vacant championship at Wrestlewar 1992 against fan favorite Sting, Sasaki defeated Sting and Barry Windham in a triple threat match to become NO1 contender in a result no one saw coming as Sasaki hadn't been doing anything relevant since he joined WCW in 1990, only being a sidekick to The Great Muta, Muta has hyped him up as one of the best New Japan guys due to his brutal moves.

Diamond Dallas Page announced that he wanted to form a group for guys who want to get to the top but don't know exactly how as they're doing nothing at the moment, Dangerous Alliance felt threatened by this as the main and only WCW group and attacked DDP. He returned Saturday Night 159, interrupting a Dangerous Alliance promo who says his stable is in full effect challening Vader and his group to a War Games match, he accepts and his group will be represented by Rick Rude, The Enforcers and Bobby Eaton. Over the following weeks, DDP revealed the members of Diamond Alignment: Cactus Jack, Ron Simmons and Dr.Death Steve Williams. Vader says he didn't fully trust Rick Rude to do good as he failed two times trying to win the TV Championship, Vader confirmed his suspicions as Dr.Death defeated Rude and Dangerous Alliance walked out on him

Since Sting wasn't able to win the heaviweight championship, he focused on the United States Championship against another member of Dangerous Alliance, Stunning Steve Austin

2 Cold Scorpio debuted earlier in the year as Dusty Rhodes's picked guy so his son Dustin could easily defeat him but Scorpio surprised and won against Dustin. Some months later, Dusty felt in the mood to fire someone and made Scorpio be in a match against him tonight, if Scorpio loses he's fired from WCW

At Starrcade 1989, Ranger Ross and Brian Pillman revealed themselves as police men who were undercover against Shane Douglas and Johnny Ace, they revealed they were in possession of drugs and arrested them, forming "The Police" along with Terry Taylor and Nightstalker. 3 years later police sirens started hitting during Pillman's matches, and at Wrestlewar Shane Douglas returned and distracted Pillman enough to lose the tag titles to The Enforcers. Shane Douglas joined Dangerous Alliance in the next saturday and won the TV Championship to complete their prophecy of winning all the gold, tonight long time rivals face each other

## Details

* In the War Games match, there was a spot where Arn Anderson spinebuster'd Cactus Jack right into a lightbulb he put in the ring
* There's a lot of misscomunication between Eaton, The Enforcers and Rude but Rude gets the win by pinning DDP, Dangerous Alliance stare at him and Rude leaves alone
* Rules of the 4 pools match are that if your opponent enters all 4 pools in any way, you win, Scorpio wins by 4-3 pools
* Vader vs Sasaki is surprisingly brutal and made Sasaki look like a complete star, spots in this match included: Sasaki sending a ladder hitting every member of Dangerous Alliance to put them down; Vader going to hit the Vader moonsault and when he's flying, Muta sends a chair right on Vader's head making him bleed completely
* After that chair spot, Muta puts Sasaki on top of Vader when Rick Rude comes out for the save and prevents Vader from losing the title, Vader and Rude shake hands and Vader drags Sasaki all the way to the stage where he belly to belly suplexes him through the tron as Vader retains
* After the match, Rude goes to get the WCW Heaviweight Championship for Vader, they shake hands and hug when Rude hits Vader countless of times with the title turning face in the process, Rude dropkicks Vader off the stage onto electrical stuff and more stuff that falls down on Vader
* The show ends with a great shot of WCW's future as Austin looks towards his long time friend Rude in disappointment, fury and betrayal as Rude puts the title up top taunting him with it
