Superbrawl VIII - The Results

Booker T beats Rick Martel to take back the WCW World Television Championship! Raven's Flock (Raven, Saturn, Kidman, Sick Boy, Lodi, Scotty Riggs, Van Hammer) is seen in the front row during the match. Saturn jumps over the guardrail and rushes into the ring after the match to put Booker T in the Rings of Saturn, starting the second match for the title immediately. (This is due to Rick Martel injuring his knee by hitting his leg too hard on the rope during a throw. A botched Harlem Side Kick from Booker T further aggravates the injury, which effectively ends Martel's in-ring career. Original plans were for Martel to retain the title, but the injury ended up causing the finish to be changed during the match.)
