I jumped ahead a bit to get in on things but will go back and read what has happened so far. I like seeing different takes on WCW stories and by reading this last show I see we have some new and old friends returning

I’d have him stay in wrestling. I think. The wrestling is more interesting with

<p>World Heavyweight Championship: Eddie Guerrero vs. <strong>The Unnatural</strong> vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. {©}</p><p> <strong>There has been several "heroes" to this diary and the UnNatural might be the most unsung of them all. I know the natural course here is to maybe build to an Eddie vs Rey singles title match but could there be more intrigue in both of them chasing? I'm calling for Dustin to get his first World title here in an upset because everyone is looking at Eddie vs Rey and with him going unnoticed, he will figure out a way to get salvation</strong></p><p> </p><p> The Steiner Brothers vs. <strong>Goldberg and King Corino</strong></p><p> <strong>Goldberg is too new and has to be strong for bigger matches down the road. Corino is too hot over and is an big up and comer for the future so it wouldn't make sense for him to loss here. Rick seems to be in time decline here a bit so I suspect that he will eat the pin. The main plan here has to be to build to a Goldberg vs Scott Steiner match down the road.</strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>"The Hellraiser" Steve Austin</strong> vs. TAKA</p><p> <strong>Taka is a great wrestler, but Hellraiser is going to stomp a mudhole in you boy and walk it dry.</strong></p><p> </p><p> United States Heavyweight Championship: <strong>Diamond Dallas Page</strong> vs. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles {©}</p><p> <strong>For me this is the 2nd of 3 really difficult matches to figure out. AJ has been doing great as US Champ but is having the belt helping him? DDP seems to have been caught up in mid card hell without any real direction.</strong></p><p><strong> I think his babyface status has turned stale a bit as well, so I see him pulling out his old dastardly tricks to steal the US title and give himself one last run with Gold before he heads off in the sunset. </strong></p><p> </p><p> World Television Championship: Shane Douglas vs.<strong> Sean O'Haire</strong> {©}</p><p> <strong>Chalk up another defense for O'Haire here. Will he make it to 15? I can't wait to see who the opponent is for that epic match.</strong></p><p> </p><p> World Tag Team Championship: "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and Brian Adams vs. <strong>The Hardys</strong> {©}</p><p> <strong>I know that the hope was that Jeff Hardy would be ready to get into an upper singles picture run, but he hasn't been doing it to that level yet. I think we are slowly building to perhaps a Starrcade Rematch against the Hero's so I stick with the Hardy's</strong></p><p> </p><p> Cruiserweight Championship: Hayabusa vs. "American Dragon" <strong>Bryan Danielson</strong> {©}</p><p> <strong>I'm torn here, this is really a 50/50 matchup in my mind. I think we see whoever wins this match lose the belt to Kendrick in several months, but that will only happen if Kendrick performs well later on this card. I might change this prior to the card coming out but I'm going to say Danielson keeps the belt.</strong></p><p> </p><p> Hardcore Rules: <strong>Rob Van Dam</strong> vs. Bobby Roode</p><p> <strong>Now what I'd like to see and what I think will happen are two different things. I get the fit between Heyman and RVD but, I can't see Heyman being a babyface manager for long. I would love to see Heyman get dirty here but he doesn't fit with helping Flair or Roode so this will likely be RVD evening up the score a bit as Roode has owned this so far.</strong></p><p> </p><p> True Heroes and Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. <strong>Salvation</strong></p><p> <strong>Salvation's other guys (other than the UnNatural) need some momentum.</strong></p><p><strong> Since this match was just a way to get Storm and Punk on the card, we conveniently have Chavo Jr. here in his new babyface role to take the fall. </strong></p><p> </p><p> Billy Kidman vs. <strong>Brian Kendrick</strong></p><p> <strong>Could you see if Kendrick was 6 ft even and 230 what he could have become. Of course going to the WWE IRL didn't help him at all. Here he gets a chance to show the world what he can really do.

I’m stunned at the Goldberg news and wondering if there is not more too this. Was Goldberg on the WWE roster or was he a free agent. I guess I assumed the wrestler in question was on the WWE roster and if Goldberg was he wasn’t even involved with WrestleMania. Could there be more to this besides Goldberg? I mean top ring general and all that. Goldberg likes to say Who’s Next but I’m wondering if the question should be.......<strong>Who Else?</strong>

World Heavyweight Championship: "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. {©}. AJ has a bright future but he is not ready to be The Man. "The Hellraiser" Steve Austin vs. King Corino I like Austin to get the win here but look for the Embassy to get their heat back after the match. Corino has been so good and improved so much, I hate to see him lose this one. Ultimate Fan Series Finals--The Decisive Match: Lance Storm (Sin-free Society) vs. The Unnatural (Satyr's Hopeful Few) Lance has been great for you, better than I ever expected, but what has occurred with The Unnatural has been great. I think Lance has hit his ceiling as a tag and US Champion, but The Unnatural has a chance to finallly measure up to the hype from his debut Rob Van Dam vs. Bobby Roode I look for this to be a DQ but I don’t think RVD would be happy taking the L here. Look for Flair to be heavily involved and ultimately cause the DQ World Tag Team Championship: The Steiner Brothers vs. The Hardys {©} Based on the fact that I’m taking the bait that Scott might be leaving. World Television Championship: Booker T vs. Sean O'Haire {©} I can’t see Booker winning the TV title, it’s a huge step back for him. CM Punk vs. The Destroyer Punk looks to be moving up and the Destroyer doesn’t appear to be doing the same Cruiserweight Championship: "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson vs. "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels {©}. Tough call but I like the way Daniels has been going. Danielson’s time is coming but it’s not yet Cruiserweight Championship #1 Contender's Match: Hayabusa vs. Kaz Hayashi The difference in this match is in the corner What will be match of the night? Rey vs AJ, but Austin vs Corino could be an extremely close 2nd and maybe even take it How many championships will change hands? 1 General diary comments/questions/critiques:your cards are never easy to predict which is one of the reasons the diary is so good

Now that is a big tease. I’m going to say that Bret is not ready to bury the hatchet yet with Shawn (although maybe he does want to bury it in his head). So I’m thinking that this new signee is........ someone who has very catchy theme music to taunt him with a 2 word phrase

<p>Ok interesting things to think about with this.</p><p> </p><p> First off I don’t like them aligned together as an invasion group from WWF. </p><p> </p><p> I think I would have Bret come in as face but with some definite aggrogance around his persona in regards to his superior technical ability. The arrogance is subtle and can fade or built as you see how he goes. My thinking is you get him into a program after some time building him up to become US Champion. I like the ignoring off Owen part as that come go several ways. 1. Letting Owen be his own man 2. Waiting until the DA kicks him out for some reason to come and save him are just some of the ways you could go. 3. Would even be to have ultimately replace Owen in the DA or 4. Even having Bret come in to be the leader either feuding with power with Rude or when Rude left taking over. I’m rambling a bit but of all your signings this one has so many possibilities.</p><p> </p><p> I like the idea of Shawn coming in as Ric’s protege. Being a the cocky heel of course as that was what he was best at during this time period. I often remember comparing him as a young Ric Flair early on. Of course as with all protégés they eventually have to turn on the mentor but that could take quite a few months to happen. I could have a lot of fun writing a Flair-Michaels combo.</p><p> </p><p> Now with Warrior. Hmmm I guess I would put him in as a face and even have him work with Sting some against the DA and see how that goes with the fans. If it doesn’t work then he can turn on Sting in a tag match, but he does so with a manager. Not with one like on your roster right now but more like a Harley Race was with Luger or even how Gary Hart (always under appreciated in my book) was with him in WCCW. </p><p> </p><p> So going in you have 2 faces and 1 heel with easy paths to turn if need be. </p><p> </p><p> Now next thing is FIRE Crockett or maybe you should have included him in the trade to the WWF</p><p> </p><p> Just my 2 cents, I don’t think you can really go wrong with these 3</p>

<p>“My cell phone buzzed. I looked at the caller and smiled. While I'd already gotten several of my guys' extensions finished, this was the big one, the one most important to our company, both short and long term.</p><p> </p><p> "Ready to make it official?" I asked. The pause that followed wiped the smile from my face. Not good.</p><p> </p><p> "Uh, actually, I got an offer from Vince. Great money, long-term, full creative control, the works. I wanted to call you before I agreed to anything, because I respect you and I appreciate the opportunity you've given me, man.“</p><p> </p><p> <strong>This has to be one of your younger stars, like Styles or Punk. My guess it’s CM Punk. The text that came through I’ll guess is Rick Steiner talking about his brother Scott. It could be one of the Hardys but since they have only been on the scene about 9 months I’m guessing Vince is admiring Mr Poppa Pump</strong></p>

<p>Been following along for awhile now. I always loved WCW/NWA and Ric Flair in general back in the day. So seeing him truly in charge is fun.</p><p> </p><p> Gotta say the scenario with Warrior is very intriguing. Having him talk in 3rd person and the way you portrayed him is exactly how I could see him being.</p>
