On TV Hogan will tag the Big Gold Belt with 'nWo' and destroy the Winged Eagle Belt.

Chris Jericho also broke his neck right before WrestleMania so hopefully that's the game got it out of its system.

Yeah, it definitely was. In previous saves, I've had my fair share of WrestleMania main eventers being caught in scandals 2 days before WrestleMania, but this was something else.

I cancelled 'Wrestling Challenge' the week before WrestleMania X to tighten up the schedule, leaving 'Monday Night Raw'(A show) and 'Superstars'(B Show). Then the day after WrestleMania X, most of the networks broadcasting Raw cancelled it due to the 2nd taped episode being a bit bleh, leaving me with just Superstars (with a year left on its broadcasting deal) and no networks to negotiate with. Limped through to the summer with popularity plummeting (now, a year later, back to roughly where I was) had to cut a third of the roster (retired US Tag Titles as now only had about 5 teams) then got hit with a financial scandal in August which meant I lost 3/4s of my available cash. Now, it's the week after WrestleMania XI and finally some networks will make a deal, so will be debuting 'Monday Nitro' on TNT and get back to business. As you were.
