The Road to SlamBoree Starts

With Starrcade over, both NWA brands, NWA and WCW are on the way to January's PPV, SlamBoree. Wrestlers are scrambling to set themselves up in the right position to make the card and the big paycheck.




 Week 3, December 1989
NWA Worldwide: B+
There were problems with the main event when Bret Hart gave late word that though he would do it, he would rather not drop the NWA North American Title to Arn Anderson, so the match was made to be a non-title match with Hart the winner. The promotion has to find a way to work with Hart to get him to drop either the NWA North American or NWA United States title before SlamBoree so a match with Ric Flair can be setup for the NWA World Heavyweight title. The pairing should bring in a lot of fans once more.

The other notable match on the card was a 3 on 3 tag match pitting Sting and the Road Warriors against Horsemen Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard and Ole Anderson. The match ended as a draw after Arn Anderson and Bret Hart interfered in the match.

                                             WCW Saturday Night: C+
The Main Event saw Cowboy Bob Orton defend his WCW United States title against Lex Luger. It was a good match with Orton coming out on top. After the match, fans got excited when the two came together after the match and shook hands.

Terry Funk and Sid Vicious went up against Rick Steiner and Junk Yard Dog and the match ended with a double DQ after all hell broke out between the four. This meant that Steiner and JYD held on to the WCW Tag Team titles after winning them at Starrcade when they beat the Fabulous Freebirds, Michael "P.S" Hayes and Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin.
