LCW Showdown at the Chase Television Special Official Preview

This Saturday, November 7th, an event rich in tradition returns. LCW Showdown at the Chase is back and, as always, is dedicated in loving memory to Sam Muchnick, the well loved and highly regarded promoter from the St. Louis area as well as a former NWA President. What will the LCW Legends be prepared to do as they enter an event that everyone wants to be a part of? Let's take a look at the card...

Wildfire Tommy Rich vs. Hollywood John Tatum (with Missy Hyatt who will be locked in a cage at ringside) in a first blood match.
At LCW Showdown at the Chase, Wildfire Tommy Rich and Hollywood John Tatum will be waging a war unlike anything seen before between the two. Meanwhile, Missy Hyatt will be locked inside a steel cage at ringside. These two were former stable mates, in a stable known only as Hyatt International. The stable, however, broke down and Rich split ways with Tatum and Hyatt and feuded with fellow stable mate Austin Idol as well. This Saturday at LCW Showdown at the Chase, the two will compete in a first blood match. The only way to win is to make your opponent bleed! Who will wear the crimson mask this Saturday?

LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams vs. Bill Goldberg.
At the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view last month, LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams and Bill Goldberg engaged in a battle which will be remembered by LCW fans as a classic. Even with Williams being re-diagnosed with cancer, he still fought Goldberg – who is a tough opponent on his worst day – and gave the performance of his life. In recent weeks, Williams has been defending his title non-stop, like many other champions in LCW, and has felt that Goldberg has been trying to help him unnecessarily. These two then got embroiled in a fist fight, which will once again intensify this Saturday night. Who can come out on top, and will Goldberg come out LCW International Champion?!

LCW World Tag Team Champions The Bass Brothers vs. The Nasty Boys vs. Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater in a triple threat match.
LCW World Tag Team Champions The Bass Brothers may have jumped out of the frying pan into the fire, as they have a night off from defending their titles in the Showdown Championship Draft Series, but will, instead, defend their titles against two of the toughest tag teams on the block. The Nasty Boys, who are former LCW World Tag Team Champions and are, in fact, the men the Bass Brothers won the championships from. Similarly, Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater are no strangers to gold, as they held the LCW United States Tag Team Championships on two separate occasions. Which of the three teams can come out on top in this triple threat match?!

Ivory vs. Jacqueline vs. Spider Lady vs. Luna Vachon in a fatal fourway match with the winner going on to face Madusa later in the evening for the vacant LCW Women’s Championship.
The LCW Women's Championship returns this Saturday night, when four ladies – Ivory, Jacqueline, Spider Lady and Luna Vachon – all compete to face Madusa in a match for the reintroduced title. It was LCW General Manager Harley Race who made the decision that, in fairness to the fans after several requests, it was only right to bring the title out of retirement. Over recent weeks, Ivory, Jacqueline, Spider Lady and Luna Vachon had won qualification matches after being four of the eight women to win a 20-woman battle royal to compete in the tournament to determine who would advance to the fatal fourway match.

However, after the fatal fourway, the winning combatant will not be done for the night. They will then compete with the last LCW Women's Champion before it's retirement. Madusa, a three-time WWE Women's Champion, former WCW Women's Champion, and even a former WCW Cruiserweight Champion, will prove to be an incredibly tough challenge for anyone wanting to lay claim to a title she stil considers to be hers. Who will win the fatal fourway match, and can they defeat Madusa later in the night?!

Bret Hart vs. Dynamite Kid.
Thanks to the LCW Showdown Championship Draft Series, Dynamite Kid cockily defeated Bret Hart in a classic match to win the LCW Heritage Championship in a 20 plus minute classic. The week prior, Kid attacked Hart in the locker room. However, this feud has been raging for a few months, as Kid blamed Hart for being attacked in the locker room, even though another member of the former Hart Foundation, Jim Neidhart, admitted to it. Kid would lose the Heritage Championship just one week later to Macho Man Randy Savage. And his night would only get worse as LCW General Manager Harley Race announced a non-title match for Showdown at the Chase between Kid and Hart. Which one of the two will come out on top?!

LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Sid Vicious in a stretcher match.
At LCW Showdown at the Chase, bitter enemies LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin will take on Sid Vicious in a stretcher match. These two would have met at LCW Night of Horrors – thanks to Vicious winning the Survival Project in September – but Vicious took Austin out of action with a powerbomb on the steel entrance stage. Magnum TA defended the title on behalf of Austin, but Austin managed to cost Vicious the title match thanks to interfering. Vicious was persistent in getting his title rematch, and eventually, LCW General Manager Harley Rave agreed to the match. After Vicious was insistent on putting Steve Austin on a stretcher, Race had an epiphany... he made the match a stretcher Match. The stretcher match is one of the hardest matches in wrestling history to rmerge victorious from. It's grueling and it's career shortening, as the only way to win is to wheel your opponent up the ramp on a stretcher. Over recent weeks, Austin has proved his will as a champion and his fighting spirit overcoming people in the Showdown Championship Draft Series and proving that he is the LCW Universal Champion for a reason. But can he do it this Saturday at LCW Showdown at the Chase, or will Vicious be walking into LCW Showdown this week and defending the title, instead of Austin?

You will find out the answers to all these questions, the results of these matches and the fallout of this event this Saturday night at ShowdownattheChase.com!
