Hope things get better for you. I really enjoyed this diary. I know that things get crazy so I hope everything will work out in some form or fashion.

I would normally post the Show tonight, however this weekend was my 1 year wedding anniversary so I am a bit behind. I will likely hold off the show until next week but I have some things to post between now and then, that should be fun. Just wanted to give you all a heads up who follow.

WCW World Television Championship Open Challenge
Jim Duggan © vs Mike Sanders
Shot in the dark on this one. But I like the idea of Duggan getting some wins early for some reason.
WCW Cruiserweight Championship
Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs Shane Helms ©
Sugar Shane is to good and that finish by gawd!
WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships
Billy Kidman & Rey Misterio Jr. © vs Elix Skipper & Kid Romeo
The Skipper of Elix is elite just ask Booker T on his radio show. But Kidman and Rey are part of the building blocks you have to promote to be successful in this save.
WCW World Tag Team Championships
Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire © vs Lance Storm & Mike Awesome
Part of me is glad I broke up Palumbo and O'Haire early in my diary part of me wanted to push them to the moon.
WCW United States Heavyweight Championship
Rick Steiner vs It's me it's me it's DDP
How can you not have DDP on the big BANG?
Grudge Match
Dustin & Dusty Rhodes vs Jeff Jarrett & Ric Flair
I'm a Dustin mark always have been always will be.
WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Scott Steiner vs The Franchise Shane Douglas
It's more than likely Sting if WCW truly reopened how do you not put the belt on your most recognizable face on your new tv station? But I want Douglas to have his due and I already missed my chance to do it in my diary at least right off the bat so why not?

Hey I got a vote! This makes me happy. Hope it wasn’t one of the cheats. lol

Shane Diary Entry
January was a hard month. My wife was doing better, at least as better as someone in that position could be doing. The Machine that is WCW kept moving. Dusty, Hart, and Hayes did a lot of heavy lifting for me this month. My mother called a few times, to check on me and how I was doing. She would spend hours on the phone with my wife. I didn’t really leave her side. I was lucky that my job could allow me to do that. She seems pretty stable and I think ready for me to be out of the house for a while. I had a booking meeting with the team and they laid out New Year’s Evil for me. I know going in it won’t top Starrcade. I still think it will be a solid show. A number of the boys sent cards to us during the month. Small things like that really go a long way. Not one time did my sister call and ask how my wife was doing. Not one time did she call and check in on her family. I got an email from Paul a couple of times a week checking in. I guess that was enough in her mind. Family was supposed to run deeper than the business. It was something my father always said. That without us none of this was worth it. I think she is losing track of that. I’m not really sure what is going to happen going forward for my sister. That isn’t really my issue. I wanted to co-exist with her. I know that there is more than enough talent, and varied taste for both brands of Wrestling, if not more to thrive in this world. I will do what I can to shove it in her face that dad gave me the competition. He gave me the team that lost the Monday night wars. I’m going to be the man that has them rise up and bring the fight back to her. I didn’t want to destroy my sister. I didn’t want to start a war. I guess she has made it clear that we aren’t family. We still have a bit of catching up to do, but soon we will be ready, and I will bring the war to her.

Shane is sitting in the Gorilla position still probably an hour after the wrestlers had left. They had done it ended 2001 with an amazing show. Booker had been a great champion but Jericho was going to be the face of WCW. The NOS storyline was gaining steam, some of his younger guys were really cementing themselves as threats to the established stars. This was a great position to end the year in. Shane stands and stretched he peaks out of the curtain and sees the ring crew starting to take the ring apart. He had done it. He had taken WCW and put them back on the map. He had them hold the flagship show in the heart of WWF territory. He was sure he had a number of voicemails at home. His cellphone had already went off a few times. He hadn’t wanted to loss the feeling though. This was his moment this was something he wanted to cement in his memory the night that WCW was truly back.
Shane had made the trip home that night. He got in late and his wife meet him at the door. The look on her face told him something wasn’t right. Before he could even step into the house she blurted it out. She wraps her arms around him and says she had a miscarriage. Shane was distraught he hadn’t even known she was pregnant. He stood there holding his wife not sure what to do. His night of jubilation just came crashing down. He was going to have to call Dusty in the morning and have him and Hayes run the show there was no way he was going to leave his wife. He had wanted to address the crowd on Nitro, but that could all wait.

Congrats to Bishadman for winning the prediction contest. PM has been sent with a number of fun...i like to think options. Most likely making booking shifting situations for me to act on
I will write a post Starrcade write up in the coming days, I will post end of year awards, and an updated roster. Thank You all for staying with me so far and I hope you continue to enjoy it s much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you.
Bonus Point Question to start off the Next Prediction contest that will end at my July Pay Per View (Sins of Summer). Where I will once again give the winner a number of entertaining options to choose from.
Where did I steal the idea of the enchanted coins of Judas from?

December 2001
From Madison Square Garden in New York, NY
Attendance: 12,770
Lance Storm© vs. Rey Mysterio
These two have done battle off and on all year. It showed as both men did counter and re-counter against each other throughout the match. A number of false finishes got the crowd hot toward the end of the match. Then after ducking a super kick Rey jumped to the top rope spring boarded back catching Storm with a hurricanrana that slid into a pin. Rey picked up the win and the United States Title.

Locker Room Leaders vs. The New Free Birds
This was a showcase of tag team wrestling here as the Locker Room Leaders really brought it to the young Free Bird team. Jindrake was at ringside and ended up being the deciding factor in the match as he was able to distract the ref long enough for Cesaro to hit Hugh with brass knuckles. He put them back in his trunks as Jindrake hit the mat the ref turned around and counted the three.

Jeff Jarrett vs. R-Truth
This is a match that Jeff Jarrett dominated from the get go. Truth kept trying to make a comeback but Jarrett would use an underhanded tactic to pull back ahead every time. Jarrett hit a number of big moves that almost got the win a number of times but Truth refused to give in and kept kicking out. Jarrett placed him in the figure four but Truth refused to tap out and made it to the ropes. Jarrett grew more and more frustrated and went out and grabbed his guitar. The ref took it from him and threw it outside of the ring and as Jeff was arguing with the ref Truth rolled him up for a surprise pin.

Edge and Christian vs. Legion of Doom © vs. Straight Phenomenal
The Tag Title Match was a fast paced match that featured a lot of E&C and Straight Phenomenal doing quick fast paced tag moves. While LOD was sprinkled in from time to time with great power and explosion to really set the whole thing off. The match went on as LOD ended up on the outside after a dive from Styles onto both men. E&C worked over Punk and in the end Edge was able to pin Punk to regain the Tag Title once again.

RVD vs. Sean O’Haire
This is hard hitting match from the start. RVD used his innovation to hit Sean with some kicks and flips he wasn’t ready for while Sean, used his raw athleticism to catch RVD off guard a few times with some big kicks of his own. Sean gets his knees up before a frog splash can hit him and he climbs up top and nails a Sean ton bomb to pick up the win.

NOS vs. WCW Defenders
This is a back and forth match where the WCW defenders really laid into NOS. At one point the other two members of NOS came out but Dustin sent them back to the back. DDP and Flair were confused by this as the match continued. After a number of near falls from both teams DDP nailed Daniels with a Diamond Cutter. He is about to go for the pin with Flair comes in a pulls him off. DDP stands up and wants to know what is going on when Flair pokes him in the eye. Flair then goes and knocks Rick off the ring while Daniels tags in Dustin who comes in and nails an the unnatural selection on DDP for the pin.

The Entire booking team is sitting in a room when Scott Steiner comes in. He takes the only open sit which is directly across from me. I ask Scott is he knows why he is here? He says that maybe we have come to our senses and are going to put the belt back on the big bad voodoo daddy. He stops looking happy when no one in the room even grinned at him. Well what is this all about then he asked. I slapped a piece of paper down in front of him. You tested positive for Cocaine Scott. His eyes go wide. This close to Starrcade I can’t send you to rehab, and I can’t suspend you. The truth is though all of us in the room are angry and scared for you Scott. Look, I partied the other night sure. I haven’t taken any drugs since it became apparent you are for real about sending people to rehab, suspending, or firing them. I really haven’t this is either a false test or someone slipped me something. I’m telling the truth. Well Scott these tests are giving us false negatives. I will say this another one and you will find yourself in rehab because we can’t afford to loss you long term. I don’t care if you to stop parting and just spend time in your room alone you figure out what you have to do to stay clean. Scott nods an affirmative.
Buff Bagwell enters as Steiner leaves. I don’t even let him have the honor of sitting down. Your suspended Buff. I’m what? That’s right a month without pay. Go home. Starrcade is coming up, I can’t just go…. I said go home before I give you your walking papers. I want to fire you but these men are fighting for you to stay. Arn stands up. For now. Keep ****ing up and I will be the one to fire you myself. Buff leaves in a huff slamming the door behind him.
I sit down. I hate this part of the job. Foley speaks up. So As you all know I’m still close to a number of people in WWF. Well, the rumor is that Paul has been using his position of power to really expand himself politically backstage. Rumor is that he is starting to take over some more of the day to day things of the company without your sister even realizing he is doing it. I nod my head, well that is her problem that is the man she wants to marry. To be honest If he is running things they are going to be a lot harder to battle with long term he has a mind for the business.
Alright gentlemen go home get some rest Starrcade is just around the corner.

Monday after Uncensored before Nitro.
Shane is in a room with Foley, Rhodes, Hayes, Anderson, and Hart. Shane is telling them that Uncensored while good was far from what it should have been and wants to figure out what happened to avoid this going forward.
Rhodes said the Main Event was too heavy with the guys who could really go. Hayes says it was his fault that the tag division which is his responsibility wasn’t developing like they had hoped. He says that Lugar and Buff are a train wreck, and that LOD has time fighting against them. Foley said that while all of that is true, the real problem is we had our eye on Starrcade and dropped the ball. Hart shakes his head. He says while all of that is slightly true, the real problem was the fact that we are too predictable. That nothing major happened to make this PPV stand out. Arn clears his throat and begins to speak which is a rare occurrence in these meetings. First the show wasn’t bad. It was a building PPV not a big blow out. It is to be expected for us to get a lower rating than last month and what we will get next month at Starrcade. The fact is Uncesnored will never be a legendary event because it is a ppv that helps build to the real crown jewel. However, there is a problem with the company currently. That is the fact we are relying on the same four to six guys to put on great matches otherwise the product suffers. It’s not time to put those six out to pasture and we still need to showcase them. We need to do a better job developing and pushing the next generation. That is what we really need to focus on doing.
I sat back listing to the words everyone gave. I wasn’t happy with Uncensored but I do think that was more because it was the first time I didn’t feel like we took a step forward. Arn makes a good point though we didn’t make a step back and we did make strides on what the plan is for Starrcade. I agree with Hayes that part of the problem is the tag division isn’t panning out how we would like.
I speak up. I hear you gentlemen, and I agree with what you all have said. Hayes it’s too late for us to change plans for Starrcade but let’s start figuring out our next steps in the tag division for next year. He nods. I then ask if everyone is still on board with the plan for Starrcade? Hart says he thinks there is one thing they could change. He lays out his plan and they all agree.
I stand up and let them know to go on and get ready for Nitro.
General Diary Questions/comments? - Do you think Linda says the same thing to Steph when Shane is not around?
I don’t think so. I think at least in this world that Linda is getting tired of Steph’s shit, and her taking credit for WWF going “Global” Even though her husband had them on the doorstep before his untimely death. Not to mention I think Linda is smart enough to see Steph triyng to drive a wedge between her and Shane and she isn’t going to let it happen. While deep down she doesn’t want anything to happen to WWF she does want Shane to be a success enough to force Steph to grow up a bit.
I'ma keep it real: some part of me really wants Hunter and Shane to be bros and get along despite Stephanie being StephanieI’m on the fence about what to do with these two going forward at least in the off camera portions. I like the idea too, however, if he were to really still be boys with Shane would Steph get angry and demote or leave him? I have to thread the needle pretty thin on it somehow.
Prediction results.

We go backstage and Booker T talks about his match tonight and how the odds are stacked against him. He talks about how that is nothing new for Booker T. He grew up in the Hood in Houston it was against the odds for him to get out. He went into wrestling it was against the odds for him to make it. He became tag team champions and split from his brother. The odds were against him of making it in singles and here he is. His life has been nothing but beating the odds and he will do it again tonight. Now can you dig that? SUCKAAAAAAAAA

The New Free Birds vs. War Machine
We get this match once again as War Machine has had time to get the rust off and wants revenge for their lose at Halloween Havoc. The New Free Birds use under handed tactics to pick up the win again frustrating War Machine.

We go back to the Commissioner’s office and we see Mick Foley hard at work. He notices the camera and looks up. He says that tonight’s US title match is missing something… it’s missing a bit of danger something to help set these men apart. They are missing a ladder. Tonight the US title Match will be a Ladder match!!!

Straight Phenomenal vs. Totally Buff
Buff and Lugar’s timing was all over the place. I never liked them much as a team but I expected better than this. They were so bad I was worried for the safety of the others involved so I gave the go home call early. I even changed the winner on the fly giving the young kids a win.

Scott Steiner is backstage and he talks about how he could have snapped Booker T’s little neck anytime he wanted at Halloween Havoc but he choose to hurt the champion to send a message not only to him but to everyone in the locker room.

NOS vs. WCW defenders
This four man tag has had an interesting story to it as DDP had to beg Flair to help him. The match itself showed the cohesiveness of the NOS members as all men came in and showed their strengths. Anduriel (Dustin) looked like he had found a new gear really embrassing his role of the leader of this heel group. The match started to break down and NOS got DQ’ed on purpose destroying DDP, and the Locker Room Leaders.

After the match the members of NOS pick up Rick Flair and drag him to the back. Flair kicking and screaming the whole way. DDP and the Lockerroom leaders start to come to trying to figure out what happened.

United States Title Match
Ladder Match
Lance Storm© vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Sean O’Haire
In a great match all four men gave their bodies to try and win the US title. Big moves and hard hits were a plenty in this one as all four men gave a showcase of what they could do for the WCW fans. At the end of the match RVD gets to the top of the ladder the belt inches away but he looks down and sees Sean O’Haire laid out. RVD leaps and lands a big Five Star Frog Splash. As he gets to his feet Storm hits a super kick sending him to the ground. Rey was still laid out from a big bump earlier in the match so Storm climbed the ladder and got the belt to retain.

We go backstage and see Sting. He talks about how he has been the ICON of WCW for years. How he is the reason they are still alive and how he has carried the ship for over a decade. He says it is time for him to grab what is his that is the World Title. He will do just that tonight.
[/Quote]
Edge and Christian © vs. The Road Warriors
This was a good hard hitting match. Edge and Christian tried every dirty trick in the book. Lance Storm even came out but to no avail this time as the Road Warriors were on fire on this one and picked up the win to win the Tag Titles once again!

Booker T © vs. Chris Jericho vs. Scott Steiner vs. Sting
This Four way match is a great match. All four guys started out slow and built to a big finish. It wasn’t without it’s controversy as Sting and Scott Steiner ended up in a war on the outside of the ring. The Ref took a bump and missed what was a for sure win for Jericho. When the ref came to Jericho caught a Book End and Booker T retained once again.

<p>“At Survivor Series Austin and Benoit Put on another 5 Star Match. This will likely be match of the year as I haven’t heard of any other gaining this much momentum. “ Stephanie had dominated the conversation at Thanksgiving about how well the WWF was doing. She made sure never to look directly at me or Marissa. I had learned to deal with the childish behavior. My Wife had always been close to Steph though and this new disdain didn’t please her too much. I refused to bring up WCW during the meal instead focusing on how my mother was doing. Stephanie took these moments to snide me saying phrases such as. “If you were around more you would know.” Or “Oh now that it’s a holiday you care.” It got to the point that my mother who has the temperament of Job, snapped and told her I called talked to her more than she did thank you very much. That this was a holiday about family if she didn’t like it she could leave. My sister squirmed in her chair. Paul, was a perfect gentlemen the whole time. We even talked about football for a while. He understands that I am trying to separate work from family. At least, he is playing the part well. Stephanie and Paul left while Marissa was cleaning the dishes my mother asked me to come talk to her. I figured this was coming I just didn’t know how it was going to go. </p><p> </p><p> “You are doing a fine job with WCW dear.” She said as we left a short embrace in her office. I replied back “Mom, I’m not here to talk about wrestling. I’m here to spend time with you.” “Wrestling is our family’s life son we will talk about it from now until we part this earth.” I hadn’t expected the candor to be honest. I sat back in the chair ready for whatever came my way. “Now between the two of us, I think your sister if by herself would drive WWF to the ground. However, with Paul helping her I know they will be ok.” “ I am however, worried about you. I know you all have been improving but how long do you honestly think you can last with the economy like it is?” This wasn’t a shot at me, or my ability it was a mother who was worried during one of the worst economic down turns in recent memory. I assured her that WCW was making money and that I had surrounded myself with men who know the business and talent that can delivery on ideas. I told her with those things I know we will be able to not only survive but thrive. </p><p> </p><p> She seemed satisfied with that answer at least for the time being. She then leaned it close and whispered. “Then kick your sisters ass for me.” I won’t lie it made my whole night. Apparently my sister was starting to rub a number of people the wrong way gaining too much power and never learning how to handle the politics of media and a locker room. My mother even said she heard that Steph had declared war on WCW. I told her all that did was give my company legitimacy. She then smiled. I asked her how she was holding up. She was honest and said she missed my father. That life just isn’t as fun without him around. This was hard for me to hear. I asked her if she had considered getting back out in the dating scene. She assured me she was not. I told her it might do her some good, but she brushed it off. </p><p> </p><p> I’m honestly not sure how I would feel about my mother dating. In the end that wouldn’t matter, when she was ready and moved on I would have to cope. My sister would likely have a fit. Which I knew I was causing her on a monthly basis. I was about to do it again. Uncensored then StarrCade. I had faith they would both go down as great show to really help us end the year off right and springboard us into next year on a roll. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Uncensored Predication Card</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46629" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> </p><p> Jeff Jarrett vs. R-Truth</p><p> </p><p> The New Free Birds vs. War Machine</p><p> </p><p> Billy Kidman vs. Shane Douglas</p><p> </p><p> Straight Phenomenal vs. Totally Buff</p><p> </p><p> Novus Order Seclorum(Dustin, Vampiro, Daniels, and Moore) vs. DDP, Ric Flair, and the Locker Room Leaders</p><p> </p><p> US Title Match- Lance Storm© vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Sean O’Haire</p><p> </p><p> Tag Title Match- Edge and Christian© vs. The Road Warriors</p><p> </p><p> World Title Match- Booker T © vs. Chris Jericho, vs. Scott Steiner vs. Sting</p><p> </p><p> What will be match of the night?</p><p> </p><p> How many Title Changes will occur?</p><p> </p><p> General Diary Questions/comments?</p><p> </p><p> [/Quote]</p></div></blockquote>
