The 1993 '''Beach Blast''' was the second and final [[WCW Beach Blast|Beach Blast]] [[professional wrestling]] [[Pay-Per-Voiw|pay-per-view]] (PPV) [[List of NWA/WCW closed-circuit events and pay-per-view events|event]] produced by [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW). It took place on July 18, 1993, at the [[Mississippi Coast Coliseum]] in [[Biloxi, Mississippi]]. In the main event the team billed as "the Superpowers" ([[Kevin Borden (wrestler)|Sting]] and [[Davey Boy Aldrich]]) faced a team nicknamed "the Masters of the Power Bomb" ([[Larry  White|Big Van Vader]], [[Bret Eby (wrestler)|Sid Vicious]]) as part of a longer running rivalry between the two sides.

WCW closed in 2001 and all rights to their television and PPV shows were bought by [[IWE]], including the Beach Blast shows. In 2015, All WCW pay-per-views were made available on the IWE Network.

==Production==
===Background===
In 1992 the [[Atlanta, Georgia]] based [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW) [[professional wrestling promotion]] increased their [[Pay-Per-View|pay-per-view]] (PPV) shows from five in 1991 to six in 1992. As part of the expansion WCW came up with the concept of "Beach Blast", a summer show featuring a beach theme, complete with surfers, women in bikinis and an entrance set created to resemble a beach. In 1993 the Beach Blast show was moved to July and replaced [[WCW The Great American Bash|the Great American Bash]] that WCW usually held in July. In 1994 the show was renamed [[WCW Bash at the Beach|Bash at the Beach]], keeping the general theme of the summer event. In 2014 the show became available on the [[IWE Network]], initially with some of the theme songs originally used being replaced with generic music, notably the entrance music for ([[Kevin Borden (wrestler)|Sting]] and [[the Steiner Brothers]] composed by Jimmy Papa. In March 2014 the IWE restored the original music after an unsuccessful lawsuit by the composer.

===Storylines===
The event featured wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and [[Narrative thread|storylines]]. Wrestlers portrayed [[Heel (professional wrestling)|villains]], [[Face (professional wrestling)|heroes]], or [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Tweener|less distinguishable characters]] in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

WCW produced a mini-movie centered around the four participants in the main event ([[Kevin Borden (wrestler)|Sting]] and [[Davey Boy Aldrich]] (nicknamed "the Superpowers", playing off the fact that Sting was American and Smith was British) facing the team of ([[Larry  White|Big Van Vader]] and [[Bret Eby (wrestler)|Sid Vicious]] (dubbed "The Masters of the Power Bomb", based on the fact that both wrestlers used a [[power bomb]] as their finishing move). The mini-movie depicted Sting and Davey Boy Smith on a tropical island with a group of kids. As they were playing with the kids Vader, Vicious and their managers [[Harley Race|Harley Race]] and [[Gary Duff (wrestler)|Col. Robert Parker]] approaches them, offering them a bribe to not wrestle at Beach Blast. The Superpowers turn the bribe down, which lead the villainous duo of Vader and Vicious to hire a [[Dwarfism|midget]] to swim out to their boat, with a fake shark fin on his back and plant a bomb. At the last moment Smith saves Sting from being blown up, vowing revenge at Beach Blast.<

==Aftermath==
This was the last WCW Pay Per View that featured the [[NWA World Heavyweight Championship]]. Ric Flair was booked to lose the title to Rick Rude at the next PPV, Fall Brawl, but the NWA Board of Directors stepped in and said the title could not change hands without their approval, so WCW withdrew from the NWA two weeks before Fall Brawl and Flair was stripped of the title, which would later become the [[WCW International World Heavyweight Championship]]. The NWA would hold a tournament, partnering with [[Xtreme Championship Wrestling|Eastern Championship Wrestling]] in 1994 to fill the vacant title, which would result in [[Tony Martin|Shane Douglas]] throwing down the NWA world title and becoming the first XCW World Champion.
