Production
Background
The
Great American Bash '87 tour, where it was known as War Games: The Match Beyond. It became a traditional Fall Brawl
event from 1993 to 1998. This was the first Fall Brawl not to have a War Games Match.
Storylines
The event featured professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Professional wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4]

Sid Vicious entered the ring to attack Hogan but was quickly taken out with the Big Boot. Hogan then intercepted a bat-wielding Lex Luger
as he tried to interfere; Sting then took the bat after Luger had dropped it and assaulted Hogan with it. After the match, Sting and Luger celebrated in the middle of the ring.
Reception
In 2007, Arnold Furious of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 2.0 [Very Bad], stating, "In terms of delivering tonight’s matches went 0 for 9. That has to be worth some sort of special mention. Hey, you’ll never believe how awful the WCW PPV was! This one is to be avoided at all costs. There’s nothing to redeem it."[5]
