WCW Clash of the Champions XXV
November 1993
Here come Harlem Heat and their smooth talking manager Rufus.
Ice Train & Ron Simmons w/ T-Bolt vs. Harlem Heat w/ Rufus
Ice Train and Ron Simmons have an advantage in terms of size and strength, but Harlem Heat works like a team and have fluid tag team moves, while Ice Train and Ron Simmons work like individuals instead of as a team. Ice Train is naive and allows himself to be distracted by Rufus and the mighty Moadib.
In a bout that had superb wrestling and good heat, Harlem Heat defeated Ice-Train & Ron Simmons in 8:02 when Stevie Ray defeated Ron Simmons by pinfall with Scissors Kick after a distraction from Moadib and Rufus.
