Fall Brawl

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 the Champions, called "Fall Brawl". It was considered by many as WCW's answer to the World Wrestling Federation's (WWF) annual Survivor Series pay-per-view due to the main event WarGames match held during most of the Fall Brawl shows. World Wrestling Entertainment have owned the rights to Fall Brawl since they purchased WCW in 2001, however to date, they have not yet produced their own version of the event.
