Beach Blast (1993) was a major professional wrestling show that took place on July 18, 1993 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi and was broadcast live on pay-per-view (PPV) in the United States. The show was produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and was the second year that WCW had used the name "Beach Blast" for one of their shows. In the main event the team billed as "the Superpowers" (Sting and Davey Boy Smith) faced a team nicknamed "the Masters of the Power Bomb" (Big Van Vader and Sid Vicious) as part of a longer running rivalry between the two sides.
WCW closed in 2001 and all rights to their television and PPV shows was bought by WWE, including the Beach Blast shows. In 2015, All WCW pay-per-views were made available on the WWE Network.

Background
In 1992 the Atlanta, Georgia based World Championship Wrestling (WCW) professional wrestling promotion increased their pay-per-view (PPV) shows from five in 1991 to six in 1992. As part of the expansion WCW came up with the concept of "Beach Blast", a summer show featuring a beach theme, complete with surfers, women in bikinis and an entrance set created to resemble a beach. In 1993 the Beach Blast show was moved to July and replaced the Great American Bash that WCW usually held in July. In 1994 the show was renamed Bash at the Beach, keeping the general theme of the summer event. In 2014 the show became available on the WWE Network, initially with some of the theme songs originally used being replaced with generic music, notably the entrance music for Sting and the Steiner Brothers composed by Jimmy Papa. In March 2014 the WWE restored the original music after an unsuccessful lawsuit by the composer.
Storylines
WCW produced a mini-movie centered around the four participants in the main event Sting and Davey Boy Smith (nicknamed "the Superpowers", playing off the fact that Sting was American and Smith was British) facing the team of Big Van Vader and Sid Vicious (dubbed "The Masters of the Power Bomb", based on the fact that both wrestlers used a power bomb as their finishing move). The mini-movie depicted Sting and Davey Boy Smith on a tropical island with a group of kids. As they were playing with the kids Vader, Vicious and their managers Harley Race and Col. Robert Parker approaches them, offering them a bribe to not wrestle at Beach Blast. The Superpowers turn the bribe down, which lead the villainous duo of Vader and Vicious to hire a midget to swim out to their boat, with a fake shark fin on his back and plant a bomb. At the last moment Smith saves Sting from being blown up, vowing revenge at Beach Blast.
