	[[Tony Schiavone]] provided the play-by-play commentary for the show, while [[Jesse Ventura]] provided the [[color commentary]], providing a counter-point by often siding with the [[Heel (professional wrestling)\|heel]] wrestlers (those that portray the bad guys). Prior to each match [[Gene Okerlund]] and Fifi stood by a large lottery drum, supposedly pulling names at random, though the names were never displayed to the viewers. As the names were announced WCW showed two side-by-side live feeds, one from the heel locker room and one from the [[Face (professional wrestling)\|face]] (those that portray the good guys) locker room.

	'''BattleBowl''' was a one-time [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) [[List of NWA/WCW closed-circuit events and pay-per-view events\|event]] produced by [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW). The show took place on November 20, 1993, at the [[Pensacola Bay Center\|Pensacola Civic Center]] in [[Pensacola, Florida]]. The event featured only the "BattleBowl Tournament", where the first round consisted of eight [[Tag Team\|tag team]] matches where the teams were drawn at random in a "Lethal Lottery". Members of the winning teams would advance to the BattleBowl [[Battle royal (professional wrestling)\|battle royal]] main event. [[Larry <!--Yent (1969, pg. 125)--> White\|Big Van Vader]], who was already the [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship\|WCW World Heavyweight Champion]] at the time of the show, received a ring for winning the tournament.

-	WCW had previously used the Battlebowl concept at [[WCW Starrcade (1991)\|Starrcade 1991]] and [~~WCW~~ [Starrcade (1992)\|Starrcade 1992]], opting to make it a stand-alone show in 1993 as they expanded the number of PPV shows they held that year. The BattleBowl concept would not be used again until the 1996 [[WCW Slamboree#1996\|Slamboree]] show. WCW closed in 2001 and all rights to their television and PPV shows were bought by [[IWE]], including BattleBowl. When the [[IWE Network]] launched in 2014 this show became available "on demand" to network subscribers along with the majority of all WCW PPVs.	+	WCW had previously used the Battlebowl concept at [[WCW Starrcade (1991)\|Starrcade 1991]] and [[WCW Starrcade (1992)\|Starrcade 1992]], opting to make it a stand-alone show in 1993 as they expanded the number of PPV shows they held that year.
