* ''WCW Halloween Havoc 1991'', October 27, 1991, had started with Larry Zbyszko slamming a car door on Wrestling/BarryWindham's hand.[[note]](This led to both Larry getting his RedBaron "The Cruncher," and was a foreshadowing of the debut of [[Wrestling/PaulHeyman the Dangerous Alliance]].)[[/note]] This left [[Wrestling/{{Goldust}} Dustin Rhodes]] without a partner going into his match against Zbyszko and Wrestling/ArnAnderson for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-t.html WCW World Tag Team Titles]] at ''WCW Clash of the Champions XVII'' on November 19th. Fast forward to the match itself. The champs are in the ring, and Dustin brings out a guy in a dragon suit, who unmasks to reveal, of course, Steamboat, scaring the heck out of AA and Zbyszko. The match is terrific, with AA muttering in exasperation "Not Ricky Steamboat", and later trying to rationalize to an increasingly unglued Zbyszko what turned out to be a hopeless situation by saying, "He's just a man!", being the icing on the cake.
