LCW Showdown Television Results (September 16, 2009) live from the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, FL.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko welcomed everyone to LCW Showdown as "Monsters" by Matchbook Romance, the LCW Showdown theme song, played in the background and as fireworks exploded all over the arena. Schiavone and Zbyszko discussed the naming of Harley Race as the new LCW General Manager. They also talked about tonight’s non-title main event featuring LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams taking on the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship, Sid Vicious!

LCW General Manager Harley Race came out and said he had some business to take care of tonight. Race said he admired LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin because he was a fighting champion. Race said Austin wanted a fight last week and he got one and he was going to get a fight this week as well. He announced that tonight Austin would defend his title one-on-one against the Raging Bull Manny Fernandez. “Speaking of Manny Fernandez,” Race said, “It’s become clearly evident to anyone watching that he and Tito Santana have some business to settle and they will settle it at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view on Sunday, October 11th. Tonight, Tito Santana will face…Big Van Vader! And, let’s be honest, I’m an old school kind of guy so I’m going to set some old school rules tonight. If Tito Santana interferes in Manny Fernandez’s match with Steve Austin later tonight, Santana will be suspended for 30 days!” Race thanked the fans and told them to enjoy the show.

He said he thought he was finished with Tracy Smothers when he beat him in a steel cage at LCW Caged Heat last month. Rich said, “I guess I didn’t finish you off.

Vicious said that some doubted him and his victory at the LCW Survival Project saying that it was the luck of the draw and had he not drawn number 50 he wouldn’t have won the tournament. Vicious said that was bullsh*t! He said he was the most dominant force in Legends Championship Wrestling today and he was going to prove it with a victory over Dr. Death Steve Williams tonight and then victory over Stone Cold Steve Austin at LCW Night of Horrors to win the LCW Universal Championship.
