crackerjack

Thought the same thing, but I'm pretty sure they may book weekly events as a result of the change.

Never tried one myself beyond a show, but has anyone had a long term save for an ECW/FMW/CZW type product? How do you stay afloat financially? Any tips on finding the right workers?

Ahmed flexes The King out of the ring. Jerry's still hurt, and this was supposed to be their blow off match, but that will occur when Jerry is healthy once again.</p><p> </p><p> Yoko beat Terry Funk. With Jeff Jarrett signed to WCW, I figured I need to make Yoko into a respectable heel once again. I love Terry, but at 52, he can't get any better. He'll start to fade out.</p><p> </p><p> HHH beat Tatanka to retain the Million Dollar Belt in a match up with limited build up. Thought that our card was lacking, and they didn't exactly disappoint. HHH's got Pillman for Summerslam.</p><p> </p><p> Pacific Shade is the team of Haku (newly signed from WCW) and Dwayne Johnson. They've got a strong friendship in the game, and are both wearing sunglasses in their picture, so yeah. The creative juices weren't really flowing for this matchup. Dwayne is still really green, but the Steiners, both putting up high 90s, drag him to a passable match. In ring, the steiners are great performers when in a tag team. I've got one more tag team lined up for them, then maybe it's time to test the water with singles pushes.</p><p> </p><p> Taker takes out Edge and Christian to get rid of Goldust's goons. Goldust/Taker is set for Summerslam, where we'll see an end to this tale.</p><p> </p><p> To hold off from having the Sid/Big Show match, I had them have an arm wrestling contest to hype their summerslam contest. Of course the two giants go crazy and start throwing blows before all of the security run in to break up the brawl. Have decent expectations for this contest.</p><p> </p><p> Amongst the chaos, Bret and Bulldog find Owen laid out before their 6 man main event. Who did it? Kliq? Somebody else? </p><p> </p><p> Brian Pillman beats Steve Austin after some botched interference from HHH. Pillman has behaved so far, and will get his shot at Hunter's gold at Summerslam. Austin is sitting around right now, teasing a split from the Corporation.</p><p> </p><p> Corny doesn't know what happened to his client Owen Hart, but does know that 123 will get crushed tonight by Vader. Again, 123 can't get over the hump, and it's starting to get him and his tag team partner D-lo Brown. Vader is still on a hot streak, and will have a tough challenge at Summerslam.</p><p> </p><p> Who is this mysterious Raven? When will he arrive?</p><p> </p><p> Bret and Bulldog get a new partner in Roddy Piper, to the surprise of the Kliq. The build of this match was that if the Kliq win, Bret won't get another shot at the gold, but if the Harts win, then Bret can pick the stip at Summerslam. Bret gets help from Roddy, and makes HBK tap to win the match! Hart/HBK is set, for the last time in a long time, at Summerslam 1996.</p><p> </p><p> Outside of our company, ECW is close to rising to Cult, and WCW's at international. WCW is bonkers by the way. They just signed about 20 new talents (any one recognizable in the US - that were at least 35 years of age). Their US champ is Warrior, their Heavyweight champ is Road Warrior Animal. I feel like hoping in to help, but I don't know if I can do much good myself. I'm wondering if Hogan, Savage, Flair, Sting now have Event only contracts. It's a mess.</p><p> </p><p> To summerslam!</p>

Brian Pillman runs in for the distraction after Austin cheated to eliminate him a few weeks earlier. Ahmed ran through Yoko and Ron Simmons to get here.</p><p> </p><p> The Armstrongs beat Backland/Bundy to win the mini-feud. Not much happening here, just wanted to say that Armstrongs are as much of a threat as the Gunns are.</p><p> </p><p> Vader and Bulldog have great chemistry, so we may see this matchup again. Vader is on fire, and he'll say this way for a while. Bulldog won't get a rematch, but will move on to a high profile match.</p><p> </p><p> Scott Hall beats Owen after botched interference from Jim Cornette. The tensions have been rising between Owen and Corny, and this was the final blow. Hall moves to the finals, having beat D-lo and 123 (in a cage) to get this far</p><p> </p><p> Steiners beat B&B in a NO DQ match to end their feud. Gave this one 19 minutes, and it didn't disappoint. Steiners have a few more teams lined up before a huge matchup, and I've got something boiling for B&B. </p><p> </p><p> "Director's cut" is a talk show for Goldust. E & C, Marlena and Goldust hype the end of The Undertaker, before the Deadman runs them off. This feud is bound for Summerslam.</p><p> </p><p> Sid takes of HHH by DQ, so HHH retains, after THE BIG SHOW debuts in the MDC. Ted has his new Giant. The MDC boast, and Sid and Big Show will battle in a match between giants at Summerslam. HHH's reign will last a little bit longer.</p><p> </p><p> Kevin Nash interferes to get the Kliq the crown. Hall's been on fire so far, wrestling every now and then, and put up some really good performances. Maybe he should have gotten the Rumble win? Kliq rule the Kingdom, but can HBK retain?</p><p> </p><p> Yeah, in a dirty way. No Kliq interference but a low blow does Bret in. Bret still wants his revenge, and the third match is penciled in for Summerslam.</p><p> </p><p> Backstage, HHH and Sunny hate each other, I stole another WCW talent that will debut soon, Bret and Scott Steiner develop a strong dislike, and the backstage environment remains strong. On to July for Fully Loaded!</p>

Just have more of a need for Terry right now. Jarrett complains about his lack of momentum. I don't really care.</p><p> </p><p> 123 grabbed himself a tag partner in the young D-lo Brown to go against Hall and Nash in the Kliq, and big grades from Hall and Nash pull this to a passable match. 123/Hall will have one more step, before I have to decide to either turn 123 heel, or give D-lo/123 a push (maybe both heel?).</p><p> </p><p> Steiners take care of all comers to retain. Backland/Bundy and the Armstrongs (BG James and Brad) will mini-feud for a bit. Steiners are running out of challengers here. The Kliq will continue to lurk in the background.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Million Dollar Corp. challenged Sid to find anyone crazy enough to team with him against the former champs Brain and Brawn. Well, Pillman <em>is</em> crazy enough. Sid gets a measure of revenge and will go after HHH at KOTR, Pillman will enter the tournament, and B&B will get their No-DQ rematch with the Steiners. They can't seem to stop losing though....</p><p> </p><p> Goldust and Taker battled, with the build saying that Goldie loves a good horror movie, and wants to make Taker a star. Taker is beat down by the debuting Edge and Christian, who beat down the deadman - until he sits up. Goldust loves it, and Taker wants revenge. Goldie got his stable!</p><p> </p><p> Ron Simmons takes care of the King, who is putting up consistent 60s and not bringing his best color commentary. I want to keep him with JR since they have good chemistry, but things aren't looking good King. He just tore his rotator cuff too, so he's out for a bit. Simmons is on to the KOTR.</p><p> </p><p> Tatanka! Buffalo! No chance for him against big bad Vader. Vader and Bulldog are finally set to clash for the IC belt. Here's hoping for good chemistry.</p><p> </p><p> HHH (sorta) steals the win against Ahmed to bring the million dollar belt to the Corporation. Austin is upset, he's the former champ and he wanted the belt. They'll stick together though, don't want to recreate the Camp Cornette blow up too much. Sid is gunning for the belt at KOTR, and Ted will have a Big surprise for him. Austin and Ahmed head to the king of the ring tournament.</p><p> </p><p> HBK and Owen (with Bret in his corner) don't disappoint. Owen gets slightly distracted by an arguing Cornette and Bret and Shawn capitalizes with a Sweet Chin Music. Kliq still rule baby.</p><p> </p><p> Backstage, HHH and Sunny have turned the locker room against each other. I tried to meddle to make things better, and now they hate each other. Oh well. I also hopped into WCW and added their cruiserweight championship. They're currently on a spending spree since I stole two stars from them. Basicially any guy with decent pop and size are getting signed. Only a few of them are disappointments.</p><p> </p><p> KOTR is going slow as usual but I'm halfway through. Let's keep moving!</p>

AC Conner has now become D-lo Brown, and hopefully he can make some noise tagging with 123 in the tag division (they have great chemistry). BG James and Brad Armstrong were signed to be a new babyface team, and the Bad Crew are a new heel tag job team.</p><p> </p><p> We kick off with Piper's Pit with the returning Bret Hart! The Hitman has stayed out of the ring since Mania, only doing interviews from home in reflection of the events. Bret won't be taking a prolonged break like he did IRL this time. The Kliq come down for a stand-off, but can't do damage when 123 and Simmons run down to even the odds. Piper's here already - so 123 and the rechristened Scott Hall kick off the show!</p><p> </p><p> Hall beats 123 thanks to Diesel distraction. 123 continues to prove he belongs but can never close the deal. I'm keeping Waltman away from the Kliq right now. They'll stay a trio for the foreseeable future.</p><p> </p><p> Terry and Bob fought in a nine minute crazy old man contest that was surprising good. Terry scored a 71 match grade, so he still has legs on him. He'll go back against the MDC soon. Bob's got nothing.</p><p> </p><p> Brian Pillman wins again, and Goldust is still recruiting. When things slow down with Goldust, I'll introduce his discovered stars to the world. Pillman is another guy who will gun for the MDC soon.</p><p> </p><p> Pat Patterson died. I introduced the Pat Patterson cup in his honor, with the winner of a battle royal getting a shot at the IC title. Bulldog wins, last eliminating HHH for the win. Tatanka redebuted in this match too, and I had to overpay him (thanks WCW). Bulldog eyes Vader's IC belt, and the face turn is complete.</p><p> </p><p> Steiners beat the Gunns to retain. Was teasing tension between the teams, but they show respect when the match is done. Can't turn the Gunns heel, they'll get lost in the shuffle. Steiners will face multiple teams next month to introduce some new teams to the mix.</p><p> </p><p> Ahmed's been defending the Million Dollar belt constantly, beating both Skip and Dean individually before accepitng their challenge for a triple threat. Ahmed pins Skip to retain, and Austin and HHH run in for a beatdown. SID comes back and destroys everyone, letting Ahmed recover in the ring. Ahmed will face Austin and HHH next, and I've got some plans for Mr. Sid.</p><p> </p><p> Taker beat Yoko. I don't have much for Taker. I wanted to save Taker/Kliq for later, but I might have to turn to it early. Maybe Taker/Vader instead?</p><p> </p><p> HBK/Ron Simmons was a decent B-Show main event. I tried to push Ron as a legit contender, but I couldn't really pull it off in time. HBK will face Owen next, since our PPV provider wasn't happy with this show (1 point off). Kliq still rules, baby.</p><p> </p><p> Backstage, Hall got caught for weed. I don't really care. HHH mocked Bart Gunn, but you don't mess with the left hook! HHH gets fined. HBK mocked Henry Godwinn, gets punched, only a stern warning. Sorry hunter.</p><p> </p><p> WCW's contracts with Lex Luger and The Giant are up. I'm going hard for both. On to the May 96!</p>

Bob is doing a decent job as a JTTS, and will most likely do the same soon in a battle of the crazy old men. Pillman will eventually feud with the MDC, notably with Austin. Right now, maybe Goldust? Still have to make my mind here.</p><p> </p><p> Owen beat Bam Bam. Goodbye Bam Bam. HBK only has minor issues, but the lockeroom has turned against him and it's getting worse. I like Bam Bam too.</p><p> </p><p> Simmons slammed the mighty Yokozuna in the applause of the million Simmonmaniacs that eat their prayers and say their vitamins! Yoko will continue to job, and still is auto-pushed as a Main Eventer. Maybe Taker for him next? Ron has been fairly protected so far, but was only auto-pushed as a midcarder before Mania. I have him penciled in for a title shot - a World Heavyweight one.</p><p> </p><p> HHH put down the old Funker at Mania thanks to some outside interference. Terry will stay strong, feud by Backland, and HHH will join the rest of the MDC in trying to get their gold back.</p><p> </p><p> Speaking of losing their gold, The Steiners won back their gold in a fair and pretty good contest. Both teams have excellent chemistry, so I'll pencil them in for one more rubber match (KOTR?) before sending both teams on their seperate ways. Steiners will have the Gunns lining up for a shot, and B&B will become involved in MDC business.</p><p> </p><p> Goldust comes on Piper's Pit to hype his star search, which eventually lead to his own stable (finally, something for Goldust). Piper will get offered a spot, only to deny, and when Goldust tries to persuade him, Piper kicks him out of the ring. I'll keep teasing the physical involvement with Piper before it's time to see the "Hot Scot" get back in action.</p><p> </p><p> Ahmed beats Austin for the Million Dollar Championship after some botched(?) interference from Sid. Post match, the MDC blame Sid for the loss, and when he rebels, they jump him. I'll give Sid a mini-vacation since he's upset that we signed Brian Pillman. Ahmed will defend his title against the MDC, but I can't see him having a long run with the scrap. </p><p> </p><p> Vader pins 123 Kid for the victory, so he's your new IC champ. Vader and Corny love it, Bulldog is upset cause he lost his gold. Starting a slow face turn for Bulldog. Razor pushes a consoling 123 away post match, cementing his heel turn. He'll feud with 123 kid next as part of a bigger story (see more below). I don't know who I'll feed to Vader yet.</p><p> </p><p> Taker beat the King in easily the most disappointing match on Mania. Taker's hurt, but I didn't expect it to be this poor. Jerry's been silently putting up 60s though (Time Decline has not been kind), and even has a weak Color Commentary skill in my save. King may not last too much longer after this. Maybe a face turn?</p><p> </p><p> HBK/Bret delivered, and they have pretty good chemistry. There's a ref bump, Diesel takes over in ring, Razor and Diesel jump Bret, HBK nails Sweet Chin Music and boom - new champ! This was great, and we may see the rematch at Summerslam (depending how long I want to wait.) Kliq rules baby!</p><p> </p><p> HBK was initially pissed about the heel turn, but I've treated him so good that now he only has minor issues (those should be solved with Bam Bam's release). The problem is that now I lack legitimate babyfaces to chase after him. I have Taker, Piper, Simmons and Bret penciled in for eventually title shots. We'll see how it goes.</p><p> </p><p> Backstage, Linda and Vince got divorced! America is heartbroken.</p>

After dueling Pick your Poison matches - Shawn picking Diesel, Bret picking Vader, Diesel laid out both men and declared himself enforcer. Diesel's matches are been kinda lame so far, and I don't want to feed anyone to him, so he stays here for tonight.</p><p> </p><p> IC title match has been reduced to Bulldog©/Vader vs 123/Razor. While I like the idea of Camp Cornette teaming together for the angle I have in mind, it made the card too thin. Razor got a seperated shoulder in a dark match, so in kayfabe I said Camp Cornette did it. Razor's been teasing a turn, with 123 taking the brunt of the attack thanks to Razor's injury.</p><p> </p><p> B&B and the Steiners will still clash for the straps.

King's got no where to run.</p><p> </p><p> And now, all new matches!</p><p> </p><p> Brian Pillman is now against Bob Backlund in the battle of the crazies. Not expecting much from this one match grade wise. JJ is off the card cause he stink.</p><p> </p><p> Bam Bam will battle Owen in his last match in the fed. Bam Bam is cool, but the locker room will benefit. I'll sign Tatanka to make up for it. Buffalo!</p><p> </p><p> Ron Simmons will battle Yoko. Can Ron slam the giant? Probably.</p><p> </p><p> The Funker has returned to the WWF after doing some good work in ECW. I unfortunately got in a bidding war with WCW over Terry, so he got a 3 year deal he might not see the end to. Terry Funk debuted and brawl against HHH, who mocks Terry for his lack of class. Funk doesn't care, he'll kick your - tail!</p><p> </p><p> I'll hold a Piper's Pit with Goldie, who will discuss the start of his "Star Search".</p>

Finished IYH February 1996 - Here's the rundown: Ron Simmons took down Double J on the Preshow. He complained about jobbing, but he's been doing it a lot recently. Probably should stay used to it. Bulldog took down 123 to retain. The Kid was on a mission to prove that he belonged in the WWF and could take down bigger guys like Bulldog. He didn't get the job done, but did gain the appreciation of the fans. This feud will carry on to Mania. B&B took down the Gunns to retain. Post match, the Steiners explained that Ted used Sunny and Sid to make sure the ref threw the match in their favor at the rumble. This sets up a rematch for Mania. Taker beat Yankem in a 9 minute Brawl. Taker now has chronic back pain. Taker will throw Yankem in the casket on the road to Wrestlemania, where Lawler will have nowhere to hide. Ahmed defeated Steve Austin by DQ after Sid interfered. Sid didn't seem too hyped to help Austin retained his gold, but went along with it anyways. His face turn will occur in-game on the road to mania, but won't happen in storyline until Wrestlemania. Expect a rematch. Vader crushed Razor in 16 minutes in match of the night. Razor's been on a real hot streak despite jobbing, which makes me think that I may be misusing him. Razor will be very frustrated after the loss, teasing a turn. Shawn beat Diesel in a disappointing contest. Having trouble getting "big matches" to deliver in this save so far. Shawn keeps his Mania shot, and Nash weirdly celebrates with HBK post match (despite him not really wanting do). Bret retained against Owen in another disappointing contest. Bret's score was in the high 90s, but Owen only put up a 85. With Bret retaining, our main event is in the books. Nothing really to note backstage. No huge problems, which is refreshing. Here's our tentative Mania Card: Bret Hart© vs Shawn Michaels with Diesel serving as special enforcer Camp Cornette(Bulldog ©, Vader, Yoko, and Owen) vs Razor, 123, Ron Simmons, & a babyface (Bam Bam, Savio, Rikishi) - whoever scores the pinfall wins the IC title Steve Austin © vs Ahmed Johnson for the Million Dollar Championship Brain and Brawn © vs The Steiner Brothers The Undertaker vs Jerry "The King" Lawler Brian Pillman vs Jeff Jarrett Feels a little short right now - might shuffle some stuff around.

Think I have a plan for he and Christian when they get called up, probably most Mania.</p><p> </p><p> Bulldog/Razor surprisingly (or disappointingly) put up MOTN in the opener. Vader runs in and destroys Razor to give Bulldog the victory. Bulldog sneaks away again thanks to interference, and I'll probably give him a fill-in opponent for February's IYH. All of this losing will start to get to Razor soon.</p><p> </p><p> Ahmed finally gets rid of Backlund for good by crushing him in 5 minutes. Ahmed's on the upswing. Don't have him spot finalized for Mania yet, but I've got a feeling about where he'll end up.</p><p> </p><p> Austin takes care of the PPV-debuting Ron Simmons to retain thanks to Jeff Jarrett. The idea for Jarrett is that he's trying to get into the MDC or Camp Cornette, but neither really want him. I don't like Jarrett. Ron is the All-American gimmick, straight from WCW. Both men were off their game, so this one kinda flopped. Simmons will face off with Jarrett at Feb's IYH, and Austin will put up another defence.</p><p> </p><p> Sid is starting to turn face, with the idea that Ted is starting to fall behind on his salary. He's scheduled to turn face at Mania.</p><p> </p><p> Brain and Brawn beat the Steiners for the belts with a dirty finish. Weird, Dean nailed Rick with a clipboard right in front of the refs, and he didn't call for a DQ. What happened there? MDC don't care - new champs!</p><p> </p><p> The ROYAL RRUMMBLEEE saw HBK get the win, last eliminating Owen. Razor lasted the longest, Vader eliminated the most. Unoriginal booking, but I'm confident Shawn will put up great match grades (which is more than I can say about Diesel). Who will Shawn face?</p><p> </p><p> Bret beat Diesel to win the belt. I consider myself a fan of Nash, but he just can't put up the match grades that I need from a champ. He turned heel on the go-home show without a complaint (yes!). I was real worried that he would refuse. This also means that he's now a bad figurehead (rad), which means that he's probably going to get dropped from the spot. </p><p> </p><p> Bret/HBK is penciled in for Mania. Again, not creative, but I know it will deliver. Expect some shady stuff to happen here. It's almost like some groundwork has already been laid...</p><p> </p><p> I purchased the UWA for a half a million, and we jump 20 points in Mexico. We've a PPV deal now, and are set up a better TV deal at the end of next month. </p><p> </p><p> HHH and Sunny have tension now - which is not good. Sunny is turning people against HHH, and likewise. The revenge of Bam Bam (who may get fired soon). The problem is that HHH now has a long list of folks against him. Not a lot of important people, but, still, a sizable amount.</p><p> </p><p> Going to bite the bullet and drop Diesel from his figurehead spot. His heel turn finally turned him into a negative influence on business. I fired Marty Jannety cause the list of people against was just too long. I'm going to drop him right now - I'll edit in the reaction.</p><p> </p><p> EDIT: He's cool with it! Mission accomplished.</p>

Here's a rundown.</p><p> </p><p> Goldust took care of Bam Bam on the preshow. The Kliq and Bam Bam have been quiet for now, which means that he'll stay around for now. Vader won a Battle Royal, and he'll feud with Bam Bam now to give him something to do.</p><p> </p><p> Bulldog retained against Ahmed thanks to Bob Backlund, who is still trying to prove Ahmed doesn't belong in the big leagues. Ahmed will crush him at the Rumble most likely to put an end to this.</p><p> </p><p> Skip and Dean Douglas beat the Gunns for the number one contender spot for the tag team titles. I like this team a lot - so maybe a title change is coming?</p><p> </p><p> Ted DiBiase challenged 123 Kid to come to IYH to face off his Crown Jewel for the returing Million Dollar Championship. That "Crown Jewel" is Steve Austin, which HHH seems displeased about - he thought he was the "Crown Jewel". But, we're saving that for later. Right now, Austin wins his debut for the title.</p><p> </p><p> Lawler and Yankem were floating, waiting for their Undertaker feud to start, so I gave them a tag title shot. They performed better than expected, even with Jerry off his game. I didn't expect Kane to improve yet, so this is a good sign, even if he's bound for the developmental company. Steiners retain and will face Brain and Brawn at the Rumble.</p><p> </p><p> Taker locks King Mabel in the casket for the win and to end this feud. Never cared for Mabel/Viscera/Big Daddy Five, so this feud was really one-sided. The druids, played by Edge, Christian, Rock, and the Hardys, drag him off to developmental with them. He may come back as Viscera one day.</p><p> </p><p> Diesel and Yoko have great chemistry, but can only manage a B. Thank god they didn't get the main, especially with the Pay Per View providers complaining. Yoko falls back in line with Camp Cornette, and Diesel still manages to have a positive impact on business as Figurehead. Well, dang, now what do I do about that eventual heel turn?</p><p> </p><p> Bret bested Owen, Razor and HBK to win a title shot at the Rumble. Great contest and my best PPV match yet (who figured). Bret carries his momentum to the Rumble against Big Daddy Cool, and he'll probably win the belt there.</p><p> </p><p> Quiet month backstage. Marty failed a test for hard drugs, and I fined him, to the applause of the Kliq. Other way around, they'd want my head. Marty's got a big morale issues, so unfortunately RIP New Rockers (probably). </p><p> </p><p> Stole Brian Pillman from WCW. He'll be advertised as "Flyin' Brian", but he'll start to show his Loose Cannon ways slowly but surely. I also picked up Ron Simmons as another babyface to feud with guys. Don't think I'll go NOD with him, but Bradshaw will probably show up eventually.</p><p> </p><p> On to the Rumble!</p>

<p><img alt="Ue9Brhh.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Ue9Brhh.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Got through Survivor Series 95. Who will survive? Hakushi won an auto-booked preshow battle royal. Funnily enough, I tried to put Hakushi over in the match, but folks started to complain. I got what I wanted.</p><p> </p><p> Ahmed Johnson leads his team - the EAT REEFS - over the Classic Connection. It comes down to Ahmed and Goldust, but Goldust gets himself counted out to end the match. That feud is being saved for later. Ahmed gets a measure of revenge on Bob Backland, and is headed for the IC belt.</p><p> </p><p> Bret Hart and Taker survivor to lead the Sharpshooters to victory against the Royal Army. Taker scares Lawler right into the waiting hands of Bret, who makes him tap to the Sharpshooter. Bret is down with Lawler and is gunning for the WWF Championship, and Lawler will blame Taker for his loss - for better or for worse.</p><p> </p><p> Piper leads us to December's IYH - a number one contender's match to determine who Diesel will face at the Rumble. Diesel has been disappointing so far. His matches aren't meeting the PPV providers, and my, standards, and he keeps moving between being an ok figurehead and unimpactful ace. He's getting ready to drop the belt, his figurehead position, and maybe (probably) turn heel.</p><p> </p><p> The Corporation wins over The Bad Guys, with HHH finally getting a dirty pin over Razor. Sid also survived with HHH. Razor will head for the number one contender's match, but HHH is in limbo. Sid will probably turn face eventually.</p><p> </p><p> Main Event sees the Baddest Brothers defeated Camp Cornette. Lead up to this match saw Corny introduce Vader to his Camp and the world, as he destroyed the babyface team. They luck out during the match though, as Vader gets DQed. HBK and Diesel clean house to end the match on a high note.</p><p> </p><p> Backstage, most people are turning against Bam Bam (thanks Kliq), but Bam Bam is turning people against HHH in revenge. Bam Bam got re-signed to a PPA contract, so he's easy to cut and will job to Goldust next show. As soon as I need to drop Diesel from his figurehead spot or turn him heel, Bam Bam will be shown the door in hopes of pleasing Nash.</p>
