This match was a six-man tag team match that involved teams of three wrestlers each, battling it out inside a massive Tower of Doom cage structure.

The Tower of Doom cage was a three-level structure that measured over 20 feet tall and stretched across the entire length of the ring. The top level featured two trap doors that could be used to escape to the second level, but not to the ground floor. The middle level housed a series of platforms connected by ladders, with the wrestlers having to climb up and down to reach their opponents. The ground level was meshed with chains, providing a slippery surface that made it difficult to maintain balance or footing.

The match featured three teams: The Road Warriors (Hawk and Animal) and Dusty Rhodes vs. The Powers of Pain (The Warlord and The Barbarian) and Ivan Koloff vs. The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane) and Jim Cornette. The teams had to battle it out to survive, with the last man standing declared as the winner.

The Tower of Doom structure itself provided a unique and challenging element to the match, with the wrestlers having to navigate the various levels and traps to gain an advantage. The match was brutal and intense, with the wrestlers taking massive bumps and using various weapons to take each other down.

Throughout the match, the Road Warriors proved to be dominant, using their sheer strength and power to take down their opponents. Dusty Rhodes also put up a strong fight, using his signature bionic elbow to take down his opponents. The Powers of Pain also put up a good fight, using their impressive size and strength to hold their own against their opponents.

The Midnight Express and Jim Cornette proved to be the underdogs in the match, but they fought hard, using their cunning and tactical skills to try and gain an advantage. The match was filled with high-flying moves, brutal slams, and intense brawls, providing non-stop action for the fans.

In the end, the Road Warriors and Dusty Rhodes emerged as the winners, having survived the brutal onslaught and outlasting their opponents. The Tower of Doom match remains one of the most notorious matches in WCW history, providing a unique and challenging structure for the wrestlers to showcase their skills and stamina.
