Fall Brawl 1993 was the first Fall Brawl event produced by World Championship Wrestling which took place on 12th September 1993

## Background

The main match heading into the show is Dustin Rhodes vs Rick Rude for the vacant WCW Heaviweight Championship. At Beach Blast, Vader defeated Sting to win the WCW Heaviweight Championship and after the match Meng cashed in his cash in the ladder tag team contract to win the title. 6 days later Dusty Rhodes reversed this decision as the CITL tag contract is only meant for the tag team titles, he vacated the championship and announced a huge 32 men tournament culminating at Fall Brawl, Rick Rude returned after being gone since april and defeated Booker T, Barry Windham, The Great Muta and former partner Stunning Austin to advance to the finals, Rude is constantly pissed that he's getting booed as he feels like he's a good guy. On the other hand, Dustin Rhodes defeated Hawk, Arn Anderson, his father Dusty Rhodes(in one of the greatest face turns ever as Dusty demanded for Dustin to get down and give him the win but Dustin refused turning on him to a huge pop) and finally Cactus Jack. Dusty Rhodes has said that he will be on Dustin's corner to ensure his son wins the title but Dustin doesn't want anything to do with Dusty anymore and promises that he'll beat him up if he shows up, Dustin has quickly became the most over guy in the company in mere weeks and everyone wants him to win tonight

At Beach Blast, Meng entered the CITL tag team ladder match all on his own and managed to defeat all 3 teams, since Meng didn't have an actual partner Dusty Rhodes decided to hold a second CITL tag team match here tonight with teams such as Diamond Alignment, Pretty Wonderful, Road Warriors and Harlem Heat

At Beach Blast, Loyal Cruiserweights and Good Cruiserweights faced off in a wargames match where the guy who got the pin would become cruiserweight champion, Badd managed to sneak in the win pinning CW champion Ricky Steamboat, tonight Steamboat will get his rematch

At Slamboree, Jushin Liger made his return taking out The Great Muta and Ricky Steamboat and announcing himself as the leader of the Loyal Cruiserweights, a group consisting of Shane Douglas, Tom Zenk and Johnny B.Badd whose main goal was to stop heaviweights from stealing the CW division's belt. At Beach Blast, the group quickly went to shit as Liger tried to pin Steamboat but Zenk stopped him and threw him onto the cage as both men brawled, Badd took advantage and became CW champion due to this distraction, Zenk was confused and asked Liger if their main goal was to take the CW title from the former heaviweights, why is Liger so mad? Liger says that the only reason he returned was to win the CW title himself and use the "3 bozos" to get him to the belt but they just ruined it for him, tonight both men will face off against each other

At Starrcade 1992, in the battlebowl tag team match Sasaki introduced his tag team partner Davey Boy Smith, the former British Bulldog debuting at WCW, they won the tag match but in the battle royal as soon as the bell rang, Smith immediatly eliminated Sasaki with a clothsline. Smith says he has no hard feelings towards Sasaki but he just wants to do more than be Sasaki's ally in WCW, Sasaki proceeded to spit on his face which led to a match at Superbrawl 3 which Smith won, he continued to feud with him trying to take Smith's TV Championship away, Sasaki cost Smith a match in the 32 men WCW Heaviweight Championship tournament which made Smith challenge Sasaki to one last match, a no DQ match here tonight

Last night, Dr.Death and Cactus Jack defeated Hollywood Blondes gaining themselves a tag title shot tonight. Not much story here except for the fact that Pillman and Austin have agreed that as soon as they lose the tag titles, they will go their separate ways and focus on the heaviweight belt, this has caused rumors that one of them will turn on each other
