Signed Jarrett to a written deal so this must be before Jerry Jarrett's deal with Vince Sending Jericho to the Power Plant, probably to improve. Storm could fit in if I can get Developmental Fed started and stocked up with talent. Going to see if I can find a way to get any kind of heat with el Gigante before I part with him.

(Eric Bischoff meets with his newly formed booking team of Dusty Rhodes, Jim Ross, Paul E Dangerously and Ole Anderson) Bischoff: In front of you are a list of things we need to cover that I want us to make happen and that needs discussion Diamond Studd/Vinnie Vegas Push Finish for Sting/Luger at The Clash New Talent Big Signing Company/Talent Profile Bischoff: Looking to begin pushing Scott Hall and Kevin Nash as their current characters. I’d like to get the tag belts on the Steiners by the end of the summer. Let’s push Studd and Vegas as a team and work toward a championship match between the teams in the fall or maybe even Starrcade depending on what kind of heat we can get for this matchup in the build up. We need a name for Studd and Vegas as a team. Ideas? Dusty: Is Dally still going to manage them, Baby? Bischoff: That’s the plan. I want to get some heat on all 3 of them in the coming weeks. Dusty: Dally’s little group is the “The Diamond Mine” How bout “The Diamond Club” for Scott and Big Kev? Paul E: “The Sin City Studs?” or “The Diamond Connection”? Dusty: “Sin City Studs”, I like that, Baby. Bischoff: Let’s do it. Ok, as you know, I’ve put Luger vs Sting on the Clash card instead of the PPV as I have worked out an early release with Luger since he is so unhappy. We don’t need his attitude poisoning the other guys. So Sting is going over and is going to be the face of this promotion Ross: Clean pinfall finish? Bischoff: NO…..I want Luger to tap to the Scorpion Death Lock. Dusty, you’re going to be the agent for that match. You can work out the details. Ole: Do you think Luger is going to need to be persuaded to do business this way? (Clenching his fists) Bischoff: Lex and I have an agreement. I don’t think he is going to give us a problem. (smiles) Bischoff: Now, I have signed some young talent. Chris Jericho, Jeff Jarrett are a couple of youngsters. We are going to send them to The Power Plant along with Marcus Bagwell. I have my eye on a lot young guys that Dusty, Ole and I have been looking at signing. I am looking at starting a smaller promotion, maybe only locally in Atlanta where these young guys get a lot of work and some tv exposure. “Power Plant Wrestling” PPW. I’d love to have some progress on this by the end of the year. Maybe I can even Ted to give us a late night slot on TBS Bischoff: I have signed a very big name in the business. He’s going to play a big role and may end up being able to fill the void left when Flair left last summer. No offense, but I am keeping his identity a secret for now. I don’t want any leaks getting out to the dirt sheets. But, this person will debut, unannounced, at The Clash. Bischoff: Finally, Dusty and I have broken down where exactly we stand as a company as far as top talents, and our strengths. Bischoff: I am a little concerned about the Main Event scene after Luger leaves. I want to add some depth as far as Main Event talent goes. As far as "Franchise Players" go, I think we'll be able to add Vader, Austin and definitely my "Mystery Signing" to this list.

Week 1 January 1992 Things are tight lipped coming out of the WCW camp under the new leadership of Eric Bischoff. However, PWI has learned that Bischoff wants to make WCW profitable, quick. He is expected to add more PPV events to the schedule and is also not happy with a talent roster near 60 in ring performers and wants to trim that number to closer to 50. The Lex Luger situation is also paramount to Bischoff to get resolved. There is concern that Luger could leave the promotion as the champion as Ric Flair did last summer and take the WCW Championship belt with him. Bischoff does not want that to happen and is trying to talk Luger into finishing out the final month of his contract. Luger is all but done in World Championship Wrestling.
