Last week was WCW's annual SuperBrawl PPV. Miss Elizabeth turned on her ex-husband Randy Savage and cost him his WCW World Heavyweight Championship to Ric Flair. Elizabeth aligned herself with Flair and the Four Horsemen shortly after Woman betrayed Savage and joined Flair and the Horsemen.
Also at SuperBrawl, the saga of "The Loose Cannon" Brian Pillman continues as he outed Kevin Sullivan as WCW's head booker. During their brief "I Respect You" strap match, Pillman yelled out "I Respect You Bookerman" and abruptly walked out of the ring to the dressing room and out of the arena.
Sullivan stood in the ring stunned. Eric Bischoff yelled at him in the back and then fired him. This is made to be a work or a worked-shoot instead of a shoot as Bischoff even mentioned Pillman by name and his actions the night after SuperBrawl on Nitro. Wrestling companies never acknowledge the wrestler that leaves their company on TV.
ECW owner Paul Heyman bans blood in ECW, the promotion that made its name by blood, over the recent announcement that heavyweight boxer Tommy Morrison tested positive for HIV. Meanwhile, the WWF and WCW switched to promote blood on their events in order to sell more and be more realistic and less cartoony.
There are reports that Scott Hall (Razor Ramon) and Kevin Nash (Diesel) will be going to WCW after their WWF contracts expire in a few months. Sherri Martel has been fired from WCW after she appeared on a live Nitro two weeks ago in no condition to do so.
Billy Gunn of the WWF Tag Team Champion Smokin' Gunns had neck surgery for a disc problem he suffered back at the Royal Rumble. He will be out of action for 4-6 weeks. The Gunns will be forced to vacate the WWF World Tag Team Championship and a tournament will be held to determine the new champions.
ESPN began using WWF wrestlers in their "Sportscenter" commercials.
