 Because of this, Jim Herd declared the WCW World Championship vacant, and held a match at The Great American Bash between the two top contenders for the now vacant World Title between the current United States Heavyweight Champion Lex Luger and Barry Windham, resulting in a double turn where Luger won the WCW World Championship under nefarious means, becoming a heel in the process, while Barry Windham became a Babyface.The PPV was the last televised match for Johnny Ace.Ace would later work for All Japan Pro Wrestling and after retiring from in-ring competition, end up working behind the scenes and on-screen in WWE under his real name, John Laurinaitis.
