The Great American Bash 1990 took place on July 7, 1990 at the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. The show featured Big Van Vader's WCW debut. In the main event Sting pinned Ric Flair after countering his Figure-Four Leglock attempt into a small package. During the match, The Steiner Brothers, Paul Orndorff and The Junkyard Dog (the "Dudes with Attitudes") surrounded the ring to prevent outside interference by the Four Horsemen. During the entirety of the match, Ole Anderson was handcuffed to El Gigante.
