[Breaking News] LCW Showdown to be 3-Hours This Week

Due to the fact that LCW only has two more weeks until the LCW Caged Heat pay-per-view on August 19th, LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway announced earlier today that this week's edition of LCW Showdown on August 8th will be a special three-hour episode which will feature in the main event LCW Universal Champion Nikita Koloff facing Stone Cold Steve Austin in a non-title match.

Calaway said in a telephone interview with LegendsChampionshipWrestling.com after meeting with the Board of Directors and Network Executives, "This extra hour gives us the time we need to tell the stories we have to tell heading into the LCW Caged Heat pay-per-view on August 19th. An extra week of television would have been nice, but with SummerSlam on August 26th, the pay-per-view calendar just didn't allow that."

Calaway announced the main event for this week's LCW Showdown at the end of last week's LCW Showdown after Austin threatened to attack him. Calaway seems to be supporting Hulk Hogan in his feud with Austin after granting Hogan's request for the Hell in a Cell match at LCW Caged Heat. While Calaway and Hogan both have to be hoping that Koloff can eliminate Austin before Austin's Hell in a Cell match against Hogan at the LCW Caged Heat pay-per-view on August 19th, the plan could backfire for both of them.

However, Calaway has done everything to insure his own personal safety this week, even banning Austin from entering the arena until the start of the match this Wednesday on LCW Showdown against Nikita Koloff. Do Hogan, his manager Bobby Heenan, and Calaway have a plan in the works to eliminate Austin before the LCW Caged Heat pay-per-view or are Calaway and Hogan only prolonging their joint impending doom at the hands of the Texas Rattlesnake?
