The Great American Bash (1992) was the eighth The Great American Bash professional wrestling event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and the fifth to be aired on pay-per-view. The event took place on July 12, 1992 at the Albany Civic Center in Albany, Georgia.
Seven matches were contested at the event. The event featured a tag team tournament for the newly created NWA World Tag Team Championship. Miracle Violence Connection defeated Dustin Rhodes and Barry Windham in the finals to win the tournament and to be crowned the first champions. From this point onwards, the WCW and NWA World Tag Team Championships were considered to be unified and were defended together by Miracle Violence Connection and subsequent champions until WCW withdrew from the NWA in 1993. Aside from the tag team tournament, the WCW World Heavyweight Championship was also defended at the event. Sting defended the title against Big Van Vader. Vader defeated Sting to win the title.
^1 Shinya Hashimoto was substituting for the injured Akira Nogami.
