In May 1990, World Championship Wrestling ran a pay-per-view event called Capital Combat. It was held in the nation's capital, Washington DC. The event featured several wrestling legends such as Ric Flair, The Legion Of Doom, Lex Luger and The Steiner Brothers. However, it may be most famous for the ridiculous angle with RoboCop.

RoboCop was a massively successful movie and the sequel RoboCop 2 was on the verge of nationwide release. Someone within the RoboCop franchise or within WCW thought it would be a good idea to crossbreed the two.

This resulted in RoboCop making an appearance at the Capital Combat pay per view. Not only did he make an appearance, RoboCop, who is a hybrid human-robot law enforcer, saved Sting from being locked in a steel cage by the evil members of The Four Horsemen. After Sting was locked into the cage, RoboCop appeared and tore the cage door off its hinges. RoboCop then turned towards the evil Four Horsemen and challenged them to come after him.

The Four Horsemen, who were the most successful heel group of all time, were naturally afraid of the metal hybrid and promptly left the ringside area. This angle sounds like it could have come from a comic book, but it actually played out live in front of millions of fans.

Classic WCW.
