SuperBrawl VII

SuperBrawl VII was the seventh SuperBrawl professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The event took place on February 23, 1997 from the Cow Palace in Daly City, California. The show was billed as from nearby San Francisco.

Twelve matches were contested at the event, including two dark matches. In the main event, Hollywood Hogan retained his WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Roddy Piper. In other prominent matches, Lex Luger and The Giant defeated The Outsiders (Scott Hall and Kevin Nash) to win the WCW World Tag Team Championship, Chris Benoit defeated The Taskmaster in a San Francisco Death match, and in the opening bout, Syxx defeated Dean Malenko to win the WCW Cruiserweight Championship.

The event featured wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Syxx pinned Dean Malenko to win the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship after hitting him with the title belt. Eddy Guerrero interfered late in the match and tried to stop Syxx from hitting Malenko, but inadvertently caused Malenko to be hit.

Buff Bagwell was disqualified when the nWo rushed the ring after a Diamond Cutter by Diamond Dallas Page.

Jeff Jarrett pinned Steve McMichael after hitting him with a briefcase thrown to him by Debra. As a result of this victory, Jarrett was allowed to join the Four Horsemen.

Lex Luger did not come down to the ring for the WCW World Tag Team Championship match until late in the match after The Giant was powerbombed by Kevin Nash. Nash submitted to the Torture Rack, followed by the Giant pinning Scott Hall after a chokeslam.

The three way dance was supposed to be a 4 team elimination match between The Steiner Brothers, Public Enemy, Faces of Fear and Harlem Heat but the Steiners were (kayfabe) injured in a car accident caused by NWO members Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Syxx (in reality stuntmen were used to play the Steiners in the footage of the car accident) and match was changed to a three way dance match with Public Enemy beating both teams.
