Gotta go with my main man The Dirty Daddy to pick up the W in the main event but then again SCHAFF is a tough man to beat so it's anybodys game
Absolutely LOVING what you are doing with The Pope and his boys, can't wait to see what the future holds for The Sanctuary, im curious to see if Pope will get anymore lost souls coming to him?
It was a tough pick with Dirty Daddy and SCHAFF but both are prominent figures and both have big futures to come... and now some mutual respect.
The Sanctuary is my absolute favorite to book and imagine; there is a lot more to come with them! That's a fact!

Davey Boy Smith Jr (7-2) vs. "The Problem" Sefa Fatu (2-2)
Chris Dickinson (5-1) vs. SCHAFF (6-1)
I’m excited for this one. The last two matches could’ve gone either way for me, but I feel like Sefa has something planned for this match and The Bloodline could use a huge boost after the past few weeks. Meanwhile Dickinson is too tough so I gotta go with him over SCHAFF.
Dickinson was the popular pick (and rightfully so); just hope the SCHAFF win will keep both men strong enough!
As for The Bloodline; they'd be planning this for months and finally were able to deliver. They are officially a force now with Jacob Fatu; and Sefa's win helps his growth!

Dirty Dickinson Daddy
Rough day for your favorites but hey, that's what makes this fun!
Agent J's insiders don't lie I think, nZo is the meal ticket!! haha. So happy to see TK with the win since I've been a fan of his since the first promo, character is A++ in my opinion. Elijah Burke and cast of characters written very well – I say it all the time but it hasn't made me wrong yet – he is your best written character and my favorite to seek out in your updates. I will mirror Blodyxe and say I love the Fatu addition! Another great update, can't wait for TK's direction and where you take him.nZo and his "predictably mediocre" song debut made me pop.
Fatu is a guy I'd been wanting to book for the whole show; so I'm happy we made that happen. Burke and company continue to impact this company in a fun way... and it isn't really wins and losses.
TK has some big things coming, and I love writing and reimagining his character.
nZo is a terrible rapper... but man is he popular in comparison to the rest of the company... so... rap away nZo, rap away.
Thank you all for the comments, predictions and support. That wraps up the Mini-Season... BUTTTTT don't worry, we have more coming.

Oh NO not Big Dick Dudley! He was the star of the Dudley Family!
Love that Raven is the champ again, legend and the new face of 1997 ECW!!! Hopefully he'll boost the morale too.

Introducing the Warbeast: Jacob Fatu
Jacob Fatu
The Bloodline's muscle has arrived, The Warbeast, the Samoan Werewolf and one of the fiercest competitors in the world is ready to rip a warpath through The Collective. Trained by his uncle Junior, and his father The Tonga Kid, this debut deepens the feud between The Bloodline and Davey Boy Smith Jr. In fact, this goes deeper than the surface, in fact in 1987, Jacob's father was heavily involved in a storyline with Davey Boy Smith Sr that involved the kidnapping of the British Bulldog's mascot, Matilda. Now their sons carry this feud thirty plus years later. Jacob's impact was immediately felt and post-match it was made clear that Junior Fatu's Bloodline finally has the enforcer they needed to rule the roost here in The Collective.

The Mini-Season Finale
Wrestling Observer Newsletter
March Week 4, 2021
Exclusive Review: The Collective Mini-Season Finale
Opening Show Promo
The show opens with a great highlight video of the first seven episodes, recapping all the major storylines. Stephen Amell walks out to the ring, standing in an empty studio. A spotlight illuminates him as he walks us through the journey to get here. He says this is a collection of fighters looking to prove a point, and tonight at the end of the night, one will stand tall at the Top of the Table... Naturally, he is interrupted by nZo and his posse as he is accompanied to the ring by The Real1 Krew, Agent J, and Pretty Boy. nZo says he takes offense to the idea that SCHAFF vs. Dickinson is the only "top-of-table" match in the company, he says he knows the bottom line and knows the sales, and the truth is, the undefeated, nZo, is not only the "Entertainment's Hottest Free Agent" but he's also The Collective's BANKROLL; he's put on the biggest match, he's drawn the most eyes... and according to Agent J's insiders, he's the only reason that this company has drawn attention from the big players in Hollywood... So while he isn't on the card tonight... why doesn't Amell plan on booking nZo in the main event for the debut show of the next season... with a title on the line! Amell nods his head and doesn't seem to disagree... but he steps out as the West Coast Wrecking Crew make their way out for the opening match.
Match One
West Coast Wrecking Crew vs. Real1 Krew
Bit of a sloppy opener, but Isaacs and Gray kept it together, going toe to toe in an athletic bout that helped carry the match forward. nZo, Pretty Boy and Agent J stay at ringside, but Stephen Amell does as well and tells nZo that if they interfere at all then the whole group is terminated... that naturally led to the West Coast Wrecking Crew giving Alanis the business and picking up the win.
Promos
Standing a top the mountain, Odinson and Kratos speak of a dark storm coming towards The Collective, they say that two gods are stronger than one, and together the Gods of War will continue to run the division... they laugh as they sit down in massive oversized thrones at the top of the mountain.
A pair of red eyes light up a dark area, as the camera begins to get a better look it is "Grizzly" Kal Jax emerging from a dark cave on the mountain... He is wearing his Grizzly pelt and stares directly through the camera. "When you are scared, lost and alone... know that you are in Grizzly Country... Hibernation is over... and it's time to feed"
"Big" Sean Studd and Davey Boy Smith Jr are backstage reviewing the footage that shows that Cezar Bononi was paid off, and that the Bloodline is likely interested in his services for tonight's bout... Studd tells Davey he's got a bone to pick with Bononi and he'll take care of it tonight... Davey may be alone in the studio, but he can know that Studd will have Bononi taken care of...
Match Two
"The Man With No Country" TK O'Ryan vs. "Classico" Eddie Colon
This one starts with both men staring each other down, the parallels here are obvious, both have been stars in tag teams but overshadowed by their partners or past. Stephen Amell on commentary with Cyrus Fees mentions that the winner here will face nZo in the main event of the next season for the Top of the Table in the Flight Club division! So this one carries some extra weight. Solid match here, both men fighting for their own cause and pushing things forward. Both looked good, but out of nowhere TK delivered the Eight Second Ride, and hopped up top delivering a picturesque moonsault for the well-earned victory.
Promos
Post-Match, TK asks for a microphone and says that this win was about more than the pride of victory, it was vindication, it proves he is who he says he is, and the next time he steps in the ring it'll be the wipe that smug smile off the face of that jackass nZo who calls himself the draw of The Collective...
We zoom to the dimly lit Sanctuary, the camera seemingly floats into the atrium of the building... "Freak Beast" Nick Comoroto appears to be strapped to a bed for some reason... Steve Pain is standing back... there is a Doctor in the corner conferring with Elijah Burke but Burke dismisses him as the camera enters... Burke grabs hold of it, becoming the narrator of the scene... He says that he told his men to take hold of there desire to become great and challenge them to go beyond the threshold (whatever that means)... but in the process he let the "Freak Beast" harm himself... he says "Dr. Nelson tells me Nicholas here broke his tail bone... this my friends is a good lesson for all. For he is in pain... but until he channels that anger, and channels that pain for good..." Burke smiles as he just looks at the two pills in his hand that Dr. Nelson handed him prior to his departure... he calls Steve Pain over... hands him one of them and instructs him to take it for himself... Burke chuckles and then swallows the other himself, washing it down with the liquid in a crystal glass in his hand... The pain of Comoroto coming through the screen in anguished moans. "But this my friends is a good lesson for all. For he is in pain... but until he channels that anger, and channels that pain for good... he must suffer..."
Match Three
Davey Boy Smith Jr vs. "The Problem" Sefa Fatu
"The Problem" for Davey Boy Smith so far has been the entire Bloodline, starting with Fatu's father. Davey took out Junior last episode and tonight Sefa walks to the ring alone looking determined and focused. This is a hard-hitting bout from the bell and both men look like they are enjoying the pain. Davey Boy clearly has better ring awareness and acumen but Sefa's determination and passion for pain rings through and they continue to go nose to nose throughout... Davey swings things in his favor though as he delivers a stiff lariat across the chest of Sefa, lifting him next for a Running Powerslam right in the middle of the ring... but suddenly the lights flicker and for the first time in The Collective we have a real "interference" segment as the Anoa'i's come down to the ring... but they don't enter as the official, Justin King tells them to respect the fight... but Afa and Lance bluff that they are entering the ring forcing Justin to chase them from the ring, physically exiting the ring and chasing them from the studio... but from the southside of the facility... a large figure slides into the ring and drops Davey Boy from behind with a stiff clothesline... he lifts him and hits the Samoan Drop and follows up with the Mighty Moonsault (jumping from the second turnbuckle to the third and delivering a painful splash)...
"Samoan Warewolf" Jacob Fatu made an impact in his shocking debut
Sefa crawls over Davey and Justin King has no choice but to count 1-2-3...
Promos
Post-Match The Anoa'i's enter the ring, and Junior Fatu slowly walks down to the ring. He has a microphone and chuckles into it... "Davey, your father was a brave man... and you are a brave man like him... But both of you were foolish, and made rash decisions. Remember Blood is Thicker than Water...you've barked up the wrong tree. Because now not only do you have a Problem... but you've now unleashed the Samoan Warewolf..." Sefa, Junior and now Jacob Fatu laugh in unison as the Anoa'i's flank them and the Bloodline once again stands tall"
Rick Steiner is seen in the lab with Bronson and Scott... Scott, for some reason is now sitting directly next to Bronson, and Rick is yelling at both of them, telling them to focus. He begins to play clips from recent matches, but Scott stands and flips the lights on... He says that Rick and Bronson both need to pay close attention because he's the most decorated of the Steiners in this room! Rick goes to argue but Bronson stands and says "Dad, stop..."... Scott then pops a DVD (who has those) into the computer, nothing happens, and he says "Bronson make this work..." The scene ends with the dysfunctional Steiner "family" looking at a Scott Steiner highlight titled "Freak of the Week"...
Main Event
Chris Dickinson vs. SCHAFF
The main event of our Mini-Season saw the top two performers, SCHAFF and Chris Dickinson going one on one for the first time in a match that ranks among the best the company has ever seen, this is a bloody, brutal and fierce brawl from bell to bell and it is delivers. Dickinson's experience gives him an advantage early, but SCHAFF never seems out of this and all it takes is one mistake for either man to take advantage. Neither man blinks and there are few opportunities for counters or finishes for the first ten minutes... SCHAFF appears frustrated and Dickinson appears to be getting more locked in, but suddenly SCHAFF ducks a wild left from Dickinson, delivers a stiff kick to the gut and lifts Dickinson... He hits the DD214!!! and covers Dickinson getting the three count in the nick of time as Dickinson powers out right after the three crash of the hand to the mat and the bell rings, SCHAFF stands tall...
End of Show Scene
The show ends in a black and white scene with SCHAFF in the middle of the ring, the camera focusing on him from the ceiling of the studio, sweat and blood run down his face crossing over his lips... he smiles a wry smile as The Collective logo overtakes the screen...

Some interesting news tidbits there. Kidman would be a fun addition to ECW, maybe even in an early "flock" type role. Justin Credible I'll always associate with ECW so disappointed he resigned with WWF. Bob Backlund... CHICKEN WING!
About time Juvi and Bubba brawled... Bye Juvi, the Juice is now Loose.
Maybe this will be that fire Sandman needs to push back to the main event full-time!

<p>We will begin rolling out some content here this week as we build towards the first show. I wanted to highlight a couple things about this journal that have been fun in building this out.</p><p> </p><p>
1) This is my first multiplayer journal and I'm honored to be working with BigJ and tobin834 on it. It is based on RWC Dec 2020 with some very light edits (added a user avatar; added 18 small venues around the Carolinas for realism, and imported a couple of the local Carolinas indy guys just to fill out the area a bit better).</p><p> </p><p>
2) We've spent the last 10 days or so brainstorming characters, rosters, and presentations and I think you are going to like the end result. I've always loved "Independent Real World diaries" that stray away from the norm but they are always a challenge in getting buy-in at times. With this project we wanted to create a Tiny company and really work on giving the readers a behind the scenes look at the characters, company, and hopefully progression we make. </p><p> </p><p>
3) This is a joint project, our goal is to have "new" content weekly. We are focusing on treating this like a real company, so we've put some constraints on ourselves. Cost is a factor, and we won't be bringing in a ton of "big names" so you'll instead see us focus on developing characters that you will enjoy. BigJ and Tobin have crafted the first two bios (and Tobin has killed the graphical element). Stay tuned, but this will be fun!</p><p> </p><p>
4) Lastly, this is not the end of our individual journals; just a fun addition for all of us to collaborate on.</p>

Nice show! Raven and Roberts makes for such a unique/mind-meld type team. I love it.

Great to see you make a return!! Enjoy this a lot, great show!
-
Brooo that was cool!
I think we anticipated the SCHAFF/Dickinson, but predictable isn't a bad thing when it's the conclusion of a logical, well thought angle
Like the casting for "Pretty Boy", but pretty surprised/a little disappointed by Ricardo Rodriguez as Agent J... But I think you will quickly change my mind on him
I wonder if that Steiners angle will lead to one more match for Scott?... That's interesting
Pumped up for the mini season finale!
Stay tuned on Agent J... (honestly I don’t like him very much either, but there is a story coming)
-
Interesting casting for Agent J, didn't know he was still in the business. Enjoyed the episode
Apparently in reality he's teaching wrestling in Egypt... but I overlooked that.

Show Report: Episode Seven of the Mini-Season (Monday Night Fights)
The show opens with a video displaying the words, Earlier Today, as Junior Fatu is seen arriving at the studio, typically he arrives with the rest of Bloodline but today he made the mistake of arriving alone… Davey Boy Smith Jr met the hall of fame in the parking lot and delivered a fierce beatdown telling Junior that when “Sefa gets back he’ll have reckoning to pay; this ends then”… Junior, beaten but not out of it, spits blood at Davey Boy and just smiles and says “That you have wrong my friend… this is only beginning”We jump to a video revealing just found footage of prior to the beatdown of “Big” Sean Studd, the footage reveals that it was Cezar Bononi who jumped Studd last episode and nearly sent him to the hospital. Sean Studd’s voice booms as he sees the footage. Backstage officials try to tell him he’s not cleared to fight but he’s looking for Bononi and says tonight pay backs and b!tch.
Opening Match
The Anoa’i’s vs. Local Talents
The Anoa’i’s are all business after seeing Davey Boy Smith jump Junior earlier today and easily dispatch the local talents in an utterly bad opening bad.
Promos
In the mountains above the lake, we see “Grizzly” Kal Jax trudging in the snow. His voice is heard on the video but it appears to be inner monologue vs spoken word. Jax talks about the struggles that come with wins and losses. The pain of a fight that lessens with a win, and deepens with a loss. He mentions hunting his pray and pulling it limb from limb, but acknowledges that he failed himself and those who asked him for help. They went to the Kings of the Mountain on the hunt but came back licking their wounds… He says that Grizzly’s need to eat; and he needs to feed to heal the wounds he’s caused.
“Da Pope” Elijah Burke is out first joining Cyrus Fees at the elevated announce table. Fees immediately asks him what he is doing here and what was it that we saw last episode… Burke tells Fees that he’d really benefit if he just zipped his mouth and let the Pope preach… Steve Pain and “Freak Beast” Nick Comoroto’s music hits and they come out dragging the undersized and tied up body they had in the back of the car last episode… Pope stands at the announce table and says “This is a showcase in what the lessons of the Sanctuary are; Come and see me and we will solve the things that hold you back. We will save you from yourself. We will save you from those voices in your head telling you what you can’t do…” He looks to the ring, and tells the timekeeper to ring the bell… Steve Pain rips the hood from the head of their victim, and Comoroto immediately delivers a destructive clothesline that nearly decapitates him… Pain lifts him but Comoroto pushes Pain away and latches his massive hands around the victims forehead… he applies force and then lifts him by his head, slamming him into the mat with a sickening thud. Comoroto smiles a wry smile and Pain just looks up at Burke at the announce table. The cameras look back at Burke as medics head to the ring to remove the lifeless body… Burke once again speaks… “Consider this is a lesson in The Madness we all have, and if we channel it properly… The Cure… I can teach you our ways, and we are open for business…... you know where to find us”
Quick highlight video of Artemis Spencer locking a variety of opponents in a number of technical submissions. Spencer is shown as a lethal weapon who can strike at anytime, but he continues to lack the character development we’ve seen from most here.
Match Two
Cezar Bononi vs. “Big” Sean Studd
Bononi’s character development has been going well with him clearly portraying that he is a mercenary from the streets of Sao Paulo, available to the highest bidder. Last episode he viciously assaulted Studd which led to the this conflict. Studd is ignoring medical orders to partake in this fight and he walks to the ring with a distinct limp. Bononi takes advantage of that, and despite the pent up anger, Studd can’t inflict much damage as Bononi uses his speed to target Studd’s leg, and work him over. Studd puts up a strong fight but ultimately Bononi forces him to tap when he torques on his leg and Studd wisely opts to submit and look to fight another day.
Promo
TK O’Ryan is sitting at the top of a staircase, appears to be in a barn or paddock. the stairs have phrases on them which we can see that say “Humble” “Hungry” “Humility” “Honor” TK is dressed in a black shirt, with dark wash jeans, he inexplicably is wearing sunglasses inside. His cowboy hat sitting on his knee. He speaks slowly and with a purpose. He says that he heard Eddie Colon, and he wants that fight so he’ll see him at the Mini-Season finale. He starts to wax poetic a bit and recites some lines: “Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold than to sit and ponder what is next. It is a damn good feelin' to run these roads, and to stand alone. I am the Man With No Country, and I am going to show you what that means to me”
In another soundstage, nZo and the Real1 Krew are setting up for what appears to be a music video… suddenly Royce Isaacs and Jorel Nelson barge in and start causing a bit of a scene… nZo seems pissed but just then a looming 6’9” figure stepped into the figure...
He prevented Isaacs and Nelson from making any progress into the studio… Nelson speaks for the West Coast Wrecking Crew and yells around the big man… nZo looks up and says, we’ve got things to do… speak to Agent J and get on the schedule… Agent J steps in and makes his visual debut also saying at the finale the Real1 Krew will take on the West Coast Wrecking Crew… but for now… Pretty Boy will escort them out.
Match Three
Chris Dickinson vs. Odinson
Match of the night; big physical, high paced brawl with ring shaking action from start to first. These two have a bit of a history and it showed here as they seemed to be able to counter one another at overy turn. Odinson has run through the tag division but singles action has been a bigger challenge for him and once again that reared its ugly head here. Odinson went for a clothesline but Dickinson ducked and delivered a kick straight to the gut and delivered the sit-out powerboat for the victory and effectively punching his ticket to the main event of the Mini-Season Finale.
Promo
We return to the Steiners training camp; today they are outside in more of a turn football camp style. Rick has a whistle and is blowing it demanded that Bronson go through the course they set-up. Bronson seems familiar with most of the action but after going through the tires and blasting a blocking dummy he stepped into a painted circle for a head to head greco-roman style conflict with his uncle. Scott easily bests the younger Bronson, holding him face first on the grass and saying “I’ve still got it…” as Rick tells both men to get up and grow up…
Main Event
SCHAFF vs. JR Kratos
Kratos stepped in the ring for his first singles bout and went right after the man who has reigned supreme in the singles division. SCHAFF of course won our initial pilot tournament and now he’s defeated all comers as a singles star… but this was perhaps his toughest challenge as Kratos looked to bully him around. Unlike the Dickinson and Odinson bout, this was more strength and deliberate strikes vs the speed and power combo we saw earlier. Both men were unafraid of going most to nose and Kratos appeared to have the strong advantage through much of it, but SCHAFF’s resilience was oozing through here and eventually he fought his way back, eventually dropping Kratos with the DD214 for the victory and the opportunity to end the first “mini-season” on top.
Stephen Amell walks out as the show ends and officially announces SCHAFF vs. Dickinson will be the main event, and the Top of the Table prize will go to the winner.
Match Results- The Anoa'i's defeated Local Talents
- Cezar Bononi submitted Sean Studd
- Chris Dickinson defeated Odinson
- SCHAFF defeated Kratos
Odds and EndsThis show was designed to wrap the build-up into the Mini-Season Finale. We formally will have four matches, all pushed forward with this show. The "Mini-Season" format may stick around moving forward depending on Event/TV Deals; I like the build-up to a season finale style show, but we shall see. This isn't really true weekly TV rather a collection of events.
This one started with some parking lot violence. Davey Boy Smith Jr has been fed up with the Bloodline and he took it out on Junior Fatu; Sefa wasn't present here, I can only guess he was still back at the warehouse we saw them at earlier. The Bloodline, honestly, has been disappointing, but Fatu promises they aren't done and Sefa's battle with Davey will be a good one.
Cezar Bononi is a mercenary for hire now and was paid off to attack Studd; weakening the one alliance Davey Boy Smith has. Cezar isn't loyal to anyone, and he's allegiances will always go to the highest bidder. In his match, he showed some technical skills submitting the big man, and for Studd's cause he showed that though fighting was stupid, he knew he needed to tap to prevent further real damage to his repaired knee.
Kal Jax continues to look and feel more animalistic. We shall see if this goes anywhere.
The Sanctuary is accepting new members and Burke continues to be one of the most fascinating characters on the show. Very excited about the future development of this group.
Artemis Spencer is in bad need of character development as we move towards the next "season"... Curious if he'll stick around.
TK O'Ryan continues to develop in a really positive way; he'll face off with Eddie Colon, a man with a similar career path, just at a higher level in a one on one bout at the Mini-Season Finale.
The Real1 Krew debuted their muscle, Pretty Boy, and their agent, Agent J to the masses today while setting up to film nZo's new video... Agent J should look familiar as he's previously worked in the WWE as Ricardo Rodriguez and worked the independents as Jesus Rodriguez. He'll fill the role as an extra mouthpiece for the great work on the sticks nZo brings... as for Pretty Boy... Well he's 6'9" former and a former D1 basketball player, just like nZo's old partner in the WWE... but he's the very different... Pretty Boy is a 5th year pro primarily known for his work in AIW under the name PB Smooth. He calls himself "Mr. Fresh 2 Death" and dresses the part, but nZo simply calls him Pretty Boy.
The Steiners training camp took to the field today and ended with Scott taking down Bronson; some have speculated that Scott might wind up working in the ring with Bronson and perhaps we could see some tag-team action. Both Rick and Scott have made occasional in-ring appearances over the last few years, but Bronson remains the focal point here, and Rick appears fed up with his younger brother Scott seeming to think he's still "Big Poppa Pump"... Continues to be a fun one.
Dickinson and SCHAFF proved they are currently the top two names in the singles division, and while they lost the Gods of War looked strong. This was designed to show that some men are stronger together and others are better in one on one conflict, they all are at the top of their games regardless!

Jorel Nelson: The West Coast Wrecking Crew
Jorel Nelson
I'mma Wreck It. Wreck-It Relly, Jorel Nelson may not be as well known as his partner, but he's blazed quite the path through the West Coast over the past few years. Always cocky, bordering on arrogant, Nelson weaved his path through the west, claiming titles and trophies, but when his partner hit it big, Nelson was left to fend for himself and while he had some success he never really clicked as a solo act. Now, finding a chance to reform a partnership with his long-time friend, Relly Nelson is ready to bring the shine back to the West Coast... and as he's taken to saying, I'mma Wreck It, then I'm gonna kick that smile off your face and take your girl...

TJP in the big debut gets me even more hyped. He is a great fit, stylistically and considering his overall arrogance. Love it.
Can see why Strong didn't drop the belt right off the bat. Marty is a big favorite of mine as well, good to see how you've incorporated him.
Don't worry about the Star Ratings, by the way, they are straight up meaningless, as we have a few degenerates that tank thread ratings purposefully. People will show up and stay for the quality writing and production you've got going for you here.
I wish they would disable the star ratings; it is the most "faceless" component of this whole board. If you are enjoying writing it, we are enjoying reading it. Kijar is totally right.

What's Going on in Your Game?
in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 General Discussions
Posted · Edited by Texasrangers13
Been running a WCW save with RWC 1997; into March 2000 now and decided to test something using OpenAI to quickly script some things ... Gave it the prompt to write a promo for James Vandenberg's Oddities to leave a challenge for the upcoming PPV... the results were... impressive.
"Hello, WCW Universe. I am James Vandenberg, the leader of Vandenberg's Oddities, and I have a message for all of you. My group, featuring the monstrous Wrath, the otherworldly Mortis, and the unstoppable Vader, is coming for you.
At the upcoming WCW Uncensored pay-per-view, we will be making our presence known in a big way. We are not like the other wrestlers you see in the ring. We are something different, something darker, something more dangerous.
We are Vandenberg's Oddities, and we are here to take over the WCW. So beware, because when we come for you, there will be nowhere to hide. Hell will freeze over, and Vandenberg's Oddities will rise to the top.
Are you ready for us? We'll see you at WCW Uncensored."
Additionally had it script a match between Raven and DDP...
"Announcer: 'Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's main event! In the blue corner, we have the mysterious and brooding Raven, looking to earn a shot at the WCW World Championship! And in the red corner, we have the charismatic and hard-hitting Diamond Dallas Page, determined to prove that he's still a force to be reckoned with in the world of professional wrestling!'
The bell rings, and Raven and Diamond Dallas Page circle each other, sizing each other up. Raven takes the initiative and charges at Page, looking for an early advantage, but Page is able to counter with a quick clothesline, sending Raven crashing to the mat.
Page follows up with a series of stiff shots and high-impact moves, looking to take control of the match. Raven tries to fight back, but Page is too much for him, and he begins to wear the challenger down with his superior strength and experience.
As the match wears on, Raven becomes more and more desperate, and he starts to take risks in an attempt to turn the tide. He lands a few stiff shots on Page, but the veteran wrestler refuses to stay down, and he continues to fight back with everything he has.
Finally, after a grueling back-and-forth battle, Page is able to catch Raven with his Diamond Cutter finisher, securing the victory and earning a shot at Sting for the WCW World Championship at WCW Uncensored!
Announcer: 'Ladies and gentlemen, your winner and NEW number one contender for the WCW World Championship, Diamond Dallas Page!'
The crowd erupts as Diamond Dallas Page celebrates his hard-fought victory, basking in the adulation of the fans as he looks towards his future showdown with Sting at WCW Uncensored."
Tenay: "Welcome to WCW Nitro, live from the Jacksonville Coliseum! We've got a stacked card for you tonight, folks, and the action is going to be non-stop from start to finish.
Heenan: "That's right, Mike. We've got some huge matches on tap tonight, including Ric Flair taking on Shawn Michaels in a matchup of wrestling icons. It doesn't get much bigger than that.
Tenay: "And in our main event, we've got The Outsiders taking on Harlem Heat in a battle of top-ranked tag teams. This one is sure to be a knock-down, drag-out fight.
Heenan: "And don't forget about Raven taking on Diamond Dallas Page in a grudge match that's been brewing for weeks. This one is going to be intense.
Tenay: "And to top it all off, we've got Goldberg here tonight. He's got something to say to the WCW Universe, and you won't want to miss it.
Heenan: "It's going to be a great night of action, Mike. Let's get things started!"
