PWA-VS-BTW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE UNIFICATION MATCH: Sting (PWA) vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley (BTW)
Both promoters in the corners: Southern Dynamite Doug Minton in Sting’s corner; Gary Hart in Helmsley’s corner.
Great respect shown for each other in the match. Sting eventually wins when Helmsley taps out to the Scorpion Death Lock. Hart steps into the ring with the BTW World Heavyweight Title and reluctantly hands it to Sting. Southern Dynamite presents Sting with his PWA World Heavyweight Title. Sting decks Dynamite and announces that he is leaving the PWA to go to the BTW because Hart knows how to run a promotion. The crowd is shocked, with a facial expression like Heyman after Brock Lesnar ended Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak. BTW roster swarms the ring to congratulate their new champion.
