Fall Brawl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fall Brawl was an annual pay per view in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) held in the month of September from 1993 through 2000. The name was derived from the fall edition of Clash of Champions, called "Fall Brawl." It was considered by many as WCW's answer to the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)'s annual Survivor Series pay-per-view due to the main event War Games match held during most of the Fall Brawl shows.
