WCW World Championship - Randy Savage

To fill the vacant WCW Championship, the WCW Executive Committee organized the first-ever World War 3 Battle Royal to determine a new champion. The concept of the match was slightly different than most Battle Royals; 60 men would battle in three rings (20 in each); when half the field was eliminated, the remaining 30 would converge in one ring, and the last man standing would be declared the winner and new WCW World Champion.

After surviving 59 other competitors, Randy Savage earned a controversial victory to win his first WCW Championship. After Hulk Hogan tossed Giant, Sting and Lex Luger over the top rope in one shot, Giant pulled Hogan out under the bottom rope. Technically, Hogan wasn't eliminated, but the referees determined he was out because they didn't see it. Savage then eliminated the One Man Gang to be the last man in the ring, earning the victory and the gold.
