GreatWhiteNope Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 There was an episode of WCW Saturday Night in 1995 or 1996 that was held outdoors. The episode was devoted to a tournament that, if I recall correctly, ended up with Randy Savage defeating Paul Orndorff in the finals. The ring posts had Slim Jim advertising wrappers on them. Can anyone give me a date for when this happened? Was it a King of Cable Tournament or something to that effect?
cawthon777 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 The Saturday Night immediately after Slamboree 95 consisted of a show held in this fashion - during the rain - with Paul Orndorff winning a TV title shot by defeating Brian Pillman in the finals of a 4-man tournament. He cashed in on the title shot at Bash at the Beach that summer. Newly crowned tag team champions the Nasty Boys also appeared at the show.
MillenniumMan831 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) To expand on that, it was called the Slim Jim Challenge. IIRC, Orndorff defeated Duggan while Pillman upset Big Bubba Rogers to get to the finals. The episode also featured the last meaningful match in Steve Austin's WCW career when he got squashed (back at Center Stage) to Randy Savage in a 2nd round US Title tournament match.

JHawk Posted December 30, 2005 Report Posted December 30, 2005 I have Savage-Austin on tape somewhere and remember being highly disappointed that Austin essentially got squashed in what should have been a classic.

BUTT Posted December 30, 2005 Report Posted December 30, 2005 Am I the only one who finds it strange that WCW used to tape SN at a mosque in Altoona, PA?
