Superbrawl 9 was the ninth Superbrawl event produced by World Championship Wrestling which took place on 20th February 1999

## Background

The main match heading into the show is Hulk Hogan vs Eric Bischoff in a steel cage match. At Starrcade 1998, Hollywood Hogan defeated HHH as he hulked up for the first time since 1995 and turned face even if the crowd continued to boo him, Hogan announced that he would be running for president in 2000, Eric Bischoff was pissed as Hogan had betrayed everything New World Order stood for, he gave him the chance to become bigger than the hulkamania shtick and now Hogan is ruining it, the owner of WCW Arn Anderson decided to have Bischoff choose people for Hogan to face every week until Superbrawl 9 where he would face "someone" in the ultimate challenge. Hogan defeated Sting, Scott Hall, Meng and Chris Benoit as Bischoff announced the ultimate challenge would be against BIschoff himself in a steel cage match

Scott Hall suddenly turned heel on Diamond Dallas Page and defeated him to win the WCW Heaviweight Championship, Bret Hart won a fatal 5 way to become NO1 contender to the title. Him and Hogan had a tag match against Hall and Nash where Bret suddenly kicked Hogan in the dick as he turned heel and joined NWO Wolfpac, Bret says he always felt like he has been underachieving in WCW and while he respects Hall, he needs the belt. In a SWERVE(bro) during their contract signing Bret announced that the match was for leadership of Wolfpac as another civil war began with Bret, Curt Hennig, Dean Malenko and Sting beating up the rest of Wolfpac

The Hacker made his debut and exposed co-owner Ric Flair's secret as he showed a segment of mid may where Flair used his powers and connections to make NWO Wolfpac put his son David Flair in their group for protection, Arn Anderson was pissed at this bias and fired Ric Flair. Flair had power for just one day and made 3 big decisions, one of which was to fire The Hacker. He showed up on the crowd during a David Flair match as David challenged him to a match and if The Hacker won, he could be re-signed to WCW, Ric was pissed and slapped his son but continued to manage him

Raven made his debut at Starrcade 1998 as he aligned himself with The Mob's Perry Saturn and Bam Bam Bigelow, leader of The Mob Konnan was happy with it as he had spent the first 2 years of the group building respect by the entire WCW roster and was now ready to have an expansion and start winning titles and Raven would be perfect for that, Raven revealed that he wasn't here to join The Mob, he was here to destroy it as Saturn and Bam Bam were the first 2 to leave and join The Flock, they engaged in a feud which is the first ever time The Mob has felt threatened, Konnan said he had connections all around the world and proved that as Sid Vicious made his WCW return as a member of The Mob, tonight Sid and Konnan will face Raven and Saturn

Raven called out Konnan on not giving title shots to its members as he had a NO1 contendership match for the US Championship against Saturn and Bam Bam and offered a spot in The Flock to the earliest Konnan friend, Juventud Guerrera, Juventud joined the NO1 conendership match as he seemed like he joined The Flock but The Mob ambushed the rest of them and helped Juvi win as it was all a ruse, Juvi will face Sting tonight

Goldberg made his WCW return after losing his streak and title to DDP at Starrcade 1998 and noticed UFC fighter Tank Abbott in the audience as he called him out as a UFC failure, Abbott jumped to the ring and shockingly knocked out Goldberg. Goldberg challenged him to a wrestling match which Tank accepted, they had a press conference where Arn announced the match would be a taser in the pole match

Rey and Booker won the tag titles at Halloween Havoc but Booker quickly started getting really agressive due to his hate against NWO Chaos and Bret Hart specifically, Rey didn't approve of this and chose to vacate the tag titles, Booker was pissed and will fight him tonight

Public Enemy had a fallout and started a best of seven series, it is currently 3-3 and it will end tonight

## Details

* Goldberg manages to get the taser first, he tases Abbott but he kicks out, he does a kip flip, gets the taser and tases Goldberg once on his back and then on his stomach, he does a knockout punch and gives Goldberg his 2nd loss ever, the crowd boos loudly
* In the second match there was a lot of interference between The Mob and NWO Wolfpac
* Johnny Grunge gets the mic and says he will become US champ. Grunge and Rock are released after the show after their best of seven showcased weekly
* Eric Bischoff has hired 3 men to do his business for him, Brian Adams, Dave Taylor and Chris Benoit who beat up Hogan. Out comes HHH with a hammer as he beats up all 3 men and for some reason helps Hogan win
