[1] Inoki vs Flair was billed as the battle of the century, with the best America has to offer in Flair versus the best has to offer in Inoki. Flair however, unlike with most promotions at the time (who had gone with heel foreigner vs babyface american) was very much the heel of
the feud, using many questionable tactics throughout the feud. It would all come to ahead however in a one on one match for the NWA world title, where Inoki would be able to win the NWA World Championship for the first time.
[2] To combat the growing power of the WWF, the AWA, NWA and NJPW put on this major show right in the heart of McMahon territory, featuring a star who had been making a name for himself in both the Deep South and the Northeast.
[3] Coming off the success of Star Wars, The NWA and the AWA follow this show up with the first annual Superclash. Ted brings down the Dog thanks to a run in from his new valet,
Virgil.
[4]. Dibiase's heel turn set up for the NWA's current top babyface to take the title at what was becoming the NWA's signature exclusive event, positioning Magnum for what they hoped would be a huge run at mainstream success.
[5] Mangum's reign would be a success less to his own ability but rather to the challenges of his various adversaries: Lex Luger, Ted Dibiase, Ric Flair and the Horsemen, Dusty Rhodes, and at the 86 Superclash AWA champion Stan Hansen. That reign would end at the hands of the new Von Erich prodigy Kevin. Behind the scenes however, this is just a favor to keep Fritz and his new booker Brusier Brody happy. World Class would remain in the NWA for the time being. As for Kevin, he would rise again by going through Gino Hernandez, Chris Adams, a returning Kabuki, and finally Brody himself to earn this shot. He managed to get Magnum down when the Horsemen clocked the ref and gave him a thrashing for good measure. Kevin on the other hand, would take the shady win and this would be the lynchpin between him and his brothers.
[6] Hansen, who had been AWA Champion since late 1985, won the championship in this match (which unlike the previous year, was officially billed as title vs. title). Due to contract disputes, he took the title to Japan less than a month after his big win, leaving both the AWA and NWA without a world champion.
[7] With Hansen vacating both belts, The NWA begin a 8 man tournament to clear the vacancy. During the tournament, Ric Flair finds himself abandoned by the Horsemen during his first round match with Dr. Death Steve Williams. When Tully slams his head into the ringpost, Arn giving a spinebuster on the floor, Luger giving him a F5 (cosidering how jacked Luger is, I can see him doing it to Flair after a couple stretches) and Barry Windham giving him a lariat. The Horsemen are dead and the Slaughterhouse rises in its place. Sting has a much easier time however, beating Ricky Steamboat in the first round, and Magnum in the second round. The Slaughterhouse prove invaluable to putting Sting down due to a tireiron shot from Arn while Sting has Tully in the Scorpion Deathlock.
[8] Curt Hennig, who had officially regained the AWA title in a house show against Stan Hansen in Canada, jumped ship along with his bodyguard Big Scott Hall ("You want a war? You got a war!") and beat Blanchard with a Fisherman's Suplex, declaring himself the "undisputed champion", albeit this time under exclusive contract to the NWA.
[9] Hennig, despite being booked as a heel for most of his championship reign, won the fans over due to his national athleticism and charisma. Eddie Gilbert came in and challenged the champ on his first night, but the match ended in a disqualification. A rematch was set up as a Chicago Street Fight, with Hennig's bodyguard Scott Hall turning on the champ by pulling the ref out of the ring when Hennig had Gilbert pinned with the Fisherman's Suplex. Gilbert would get the win and the title after throwing a fireball in Hennig's face.
[10] The murky win against Hennig ended nothing between him and the new champ. At the Great American Bash, Hennig would face Scott and Gilbert, now christened the Outriders to a Wargames match. Alongside Hennig would be Dr. Death (as a favor to the Slaughterhouse), Sting (he's currently US champ and is currently fighting off Lex once again), and the newest top star of the company Owen Hart vs. Gilbert (World Champ) Hall (National Champ), Dallas Page, and Jake Roberts (currently teaming together to take the United States tag team Championship.) Whoever gets the pinfall gets to challenge for any belt of their choosing. And yet Steve would get the win with an Oklahoma Stampede to set up his match. Afterwards, Tully would demand that Steve give up the title shot for him which leads to his turfing from the slaughterhouse and him being replaced with Sid Vicious. Dr. Death would put Tully away at Halloween Havoc. As for Starrcade itself, Curt gets into the match after vowing that he will not challenge for the belt as long as Eddie is champ. Dr. Death gets the win with a Oklahoma Stampede on Hennig for the win. As for Curt, its back to the AWA for him.
[11] Fujinami had Inoki in his corner, and Williams had Flair in a reference to the main event of Starrcade 1984.
[12] Jake had quit the WWF after a slide down the card throughout 1990. After reappearing to challenge Dr. Death during his reign at Superbrawl, he continued doing what he does best: mind games on who he wants. Fujinami was no different running away from Damien after he grabbed the bag, leading to an elevated DDT for the win.
[13] Roberts loved to play mind games with anyone on the roster, but the one man he couldn't get to was the no-nonsense Enforcer of both the Horsemen and the Slaughterhouse. After watching his former partner Tully Blanchard get embarrassed by Roberts at the Clash of the Champions XII (Blanchard had to take time off for rehab at this point), Anderson stepped up and challenged Roberts to a match at Havoc, which Roberts only consented to after Anderson allowed him to choose a stipulation. The Chamber of Horrors was a barbed wire cage with weapons inside (no Electric Chair), and even the presence of Roberts' new friend the Black Phantom (who unmasked at this event to reveal Rick Rude) couldn't stop Anderson from winning the belt.
