## Dangerous Alliance(1991-1992)

At Wrestlewar 1991, US champion Vader challenged any new guy in the locker room and Rick Rude made his debut, he failed to defeat him but afterwards Stunning Steve Austin debuted and attacked Vader along with Rude beginning the Dangerous Alliance.

At Saturday Night 100, Vader was facing Austin when Rude attacked Vader with a chair and both men proceeded to injure the champion. Since he hadn't defended the title for more than 30 days, Rude and Austin demanded for Ted Turner to fire him, when Turner was about to make the announcment at Great American Bash, Vader returned and retained the title against Rick Rude.

Paul E.Dangerously started managing Dangerous Alliance and made them a group as he recruited The Enforcers for it, this all led to Starrcade 1991 where Vader would face Stunning Austin and The Enforcers in a handicap match, if Vader won he wouldn't have to defend the US title against Rude immediatly after. But Dangerous Alliance picked up the win and Rude had his US title match but STILL was defeated by Vader. After the match, Vader decided to join DA to give them the brute strength that they need.

Vader demanded that the "prophecy of gold" should be completed which means Dangerous Alliance gets all WCW gold, Vader decided to forfeit the United States Championship and give it to Stunning Austin which made Austin reconsider his position about Vader as a leader and actually liking it while Rude still hated him.

He defended the US belt against Johnny B.Badd and Sting. At Beach Blast, tensions were at an all time high with Rude and Dangerous Alliance even if they defeated Diamond Alignment in a wargames match with Rude getting the winning pin, in the main event Rude helped Vader retain the WCW Heaviweight Championship against Kensuke Sasaki, but after the match Rude attacked Vader with the title turning face, Stunning Austin looked towards Rude with disappointment on his face.

Ministry of Darkness started targeting him as they tried tying him up but Mankind saved him. Mankind and Austin were the 2 most over guys in the roster and they started teaming up against MOD to amazing segments like them taking out every single MOD member in a single RAW and them poisoning MOD. This led to G1 Finals where Austin defeated Undertaker to retain the WWF belt after The Corporation shockingly helped him win

Vince explained that since The Rock was the G1 Finals winner and he had already beaten Austin before, he needed Austin to continue as champion to finally crown their golden corporate champ at Survivor Series, Austin responded by destroying Vince's mansion with a rocket launcher. At Survivor Series, Rock defeated Austin to become WWF champion.

During The Rock's championship celebration, Austin interrupted it and the segment ended with Austin stunning Linda Mcmahon to a big pop.
