It's cool you are managing to keep so many people on the show. I am playing this scenario too and a lot of my guys are getting all manner of drug and steroid strikes.

Do you have big plans for Mortis outside of his upcoming title match? It seems he is one of your key players in the national battles. I've never seen anyone go all the way with Kanyon.

I can't see Bret doing it, but if this were WWE they would have a no-name stage hand with a desktop strapped to his back they could cue to enter the frame when needed.

Great show. Legendary dynasty.

Excited for Flair/Rhodes. Both have good reasons to be in War Games against the Kings.

Glad that you are still chuggin' away, Beej. I've been into this diary for too long to see it not end the way it is supposed to.

Excellent show as always. Even more impressed you managed to write up WW3 in a coherent way.

World War 3 Featuring such names as: “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson, Barry Windham, “Loose Cannon” Brian Pillman, Cactus Jack, California Kip, Diamond Dallas Page, “Latino Heat” Eddy Guerrero, Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray), Jeff Jarrett, Johnny B. Badd, “The Living Legend” Larry Zbyszko, “The Total Package” Lex Luger, Lord Steven Regal, Owen Hart, Randy “Macho Man” Savage, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, Ron Simmons, “The Outsider” Scott Hall and Syxx, Steve Austin, The Kings' Monsters (The Giant and Vader), either “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes or “The Dragon” Ricky Steamboat, as well as an Unknown WCW Legend, Unknown Mexican Legend, and Unknown Japanese Legend! Who will win World War 3? - Steamboat Who will be Runner Up?- Savage Who are the other two in the Final Four?- Austin and Flair Who Is the Unknown WCW Legend?- Dusty WCW World Heavyweight Championship – No Disqualification “Sting” w/The Sting Army vs. Meng Will we see the Real Sting?- Yes Will the KoW Sting be revealed?- No Winner Enters World War 3 Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat vs. “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes Comments: It would make sense to put Rhodes back on track toward the belt, but the build-up to this match makes it sound like Steamboat's time is drawing near and I want him to have one more glorious showing in the WW3. Special Referee: Lex Luger Scott Steiner vs. “The Dog-Faced Gremlin” Rick Steiner Comments: Holler if you hear me! WCW World Tag Team Championships The Kings' Monsters w/Woman vs. The Road Warriors The Ladykillers w/Rick Rude vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. and ??? Who is Rey's mystery partner?- Christian Cage Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Big Bubba Rogers w/Col. Robert Parker Will any matches end via no contest?- No Tiebreaker: How long will Steamboat vs. Rhodes last?- 19:31

*sniffle* *sniffle* Godspeed, Saturday Night!

Kings of Wrestling? Nevermind that ****. Here comes Mongo (and Devon)!

Awesome show! The next Nitro will be must-see television.

Not doing predictions this time around as I have won enough. (<_<) But I am interested in the main event. I have no doubts that Steamboat and Windham won't turn their backs on Rhodes, but Jake Roberts being the same team does raise an eyebrow or two. I don't know about who I would pick as the victor if KoW were to take the W either. Savage has already had two shots, Hall is wrapped up in the feud with DDP, I don't know if Jarrett is over enough, and I expect Hogan to have a bigger bone to pick with Piper.

Disappointed that JPL's attitude pushed him out the door, but it just leaves room for the ascension of Devon King.

Great show as usual, Beej. Shocking debut after shocking debut. Mysterio pinning Stevie Ray. That treacherous jezebel Terri. Vader and the Giant forming the most-physically imposing tag team in the sport. And the Austin/Owen segments were golden.

Definitely curious about those steals from McMahon-Land, Beej. Really excited to see what you have planned for SuperBrawl. With Rhodes and Savage occupying the title match, where will the rest of the KoW factor in? Steve Austin? Sting? Hogan?

This is the stacked card of stacked cards. WCW World Heavyweight Championship Match Hollywood Hogan vs. Sting Comments: That promo from Sting about winning the title for himself put doubt in my mind that Sting would pull it off. It almost seems like a forgone conclusion that Sting would win the belt. But it's one of those situations where Sting HAS to win. WCW World’s Title #1 Contender Ladder Match “Macho Man” Randy Savage vs. Cactus Jack Comments: Part of me wants to call it a draw. I could go either way, but you have been pushing Savage's dissension for months. Savage wins. Makes Hogan jealous. BAM! Mega Powers collide one more time! That and Savage has gotten fewer singles victories so he could use this one. The ladder match may be up Jack's alley, but I think you'll use that pull one over. “Nature Boy” Ric Flair vs. “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes Comments: If Sting is doing it for himself, this may have to be the big inspirational win of the night. Dusty walks out to protect Dustin from the other Horsemen, but Dustin gets one over on Flair clean. “The Monster” Vader vs. “The Total Package” Lex Luger Comments: I'm giving it to Vader, because nWo should be getting victories and Vader is too legit. “Loose Cannon” Brian Pillman vs. Steve Austin Comments: Austin is getting the victory here, but Pillman will get a win for himself later so he can face Sting for the title. Scott Hall and Jeff Jarrett vs. The Road Warriors Comments: WCW World Tag Team Championship Match Arn Anderson and Owen Hart vs. The Steiner Brothers Comments: I think it is about time for Hart to get some gold. WCW United States Heavyweight Championship Match “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff vs. Meng vs. Diamond Dallas Page Comments: Orndorff is going to feel the BANG! WCW World Television Championship vs. A Date with Tammy Lynn “Latino Heat” Eddy Guerrero vs. Chris Candido Comments: I imagine shenangians. I don't think Guerrero is ready to drop the title, but I don't think Candido and Tammy are ready to split either. Candido will win by DQ. The Giant vs. Terry Funk Comments: Funk is going to take whoopin' and put Paul Wight over. Johnny B. Badd and Harlem Heat vs. Ron Simmons and The Twilight Express Comments: This could go either way in my head. Throughout this diary, I've expected something awesome from Simmons, but not much has gone on with him. Johnny B. Badd has exceeded all expectations since the beginning. Combine that with him teaming with the refreshed Harlem Heat and I think they are going to stomp Twilight Express. Honestly, I don't know why Simmons picked them for partners. Biohazard and Rio the Renegade vs. Surge and The Flying Spyder Comments: They're superheroes! Of course, they win! 1. What match will open the show? Normally I would say the Television title match, but with the stipulation I would a tad more inclined to put it later in the show. But I say start strong with the Tag Team Championship match. 2. Will Dusty Rhodes be in Dustin’s corner? Not at the beginning, but he will show up eventually. 3. Who will be named the new WCW Commissioner? I am wondering where Rick Rude will get involved, but he doesn't strike me as an Authority Figure. So I'll shoot myself in the foot and say Sir William. <_<

I am so excited for Nitro. It reads so easily, but you fit enough content into each episode to make it an excellent program. And I love how "inspired" these Spyder and Dr. Karnage segments are.
