World Championship Wrestling: Reborn

[Brett Screwed Brett]

[FONT="Palatino Linotype"]World Championship Wrestling is on it's last legs. The company, after years of loss, had shrunk to a shadow of it's former self. Several stars had used "Creative Control" to do what was best for them, but was often not best for the company. That, and a lack of turnover at the top of the roster, had hurt WCW badly. WCW was in trouble. Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash, ironically the three men who were sent in (kayfabe) to destroy WCW, had actually done so. But it was not seen on screen. Hogan, with his Creative Control Clause, had changed scripts, re-written matches, and generally mucked about with the product so carefully thought out. This culminated in the finger-poke of doom incident, which took away much of the remaining credability of World Championship Wrestling. Nash, with his eternal backstage games, also exerted his influence to re-write the storylines. Hall had just gone along for the ride, but he did not change things, and continued that nWo storyline that eventually became reviled. Some at the top, like Sting, had kept the fans support, and them watching, but for the most part, the company was dead. At one time, WCW had Eddy Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Steve Austin, and Bret Hart. Now they have none of these, along with many other extremely talented workers, who had been used as the midcard for the company, supporting the eternal Hogan vs. ? storylines. These men now used their talent to bring the World Wrestling Federation into a new golden era, an era some are calling an era of "Attitude." World Championship Wrestling did not push talent when they had it, and now it was gone. Now the company still has some stars. Booker T, Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, Chris Kanyon, and Sting hope to lead the company into a new day, a day that is dawning. With the recent announcement of the purchase of WCW by Eric Bischoff, the one time leader of World Championship Wrestling, along with the television time it had so long enjoyed, the company can rebuild. It can get back to the top. With Eric Bischoff's successful bid to buy the company, he has once again ressurected what was, at one time the biggest Wrestling company in the world. But Eric has learned from the past. He has installed me as the head booker of World Championship Wrestling. I will lead this company back to the top of our business, or die trying! With this logo, the affirmation of our faith in this company, our affirmation of our loyalty to World Championship Wrestling, we shall once again rule this wrestling world. We will rise back to the top. We are now second, but will will once again be first. We are World Championship Wrestling. We are the best. And we are reborn.

It could be good.[/i] [i]And to Tristam. Your diary is the greatest I have ever seen. No offense to the others out there, but I was a huge WCW mark in the past, and Tristam has captured that feel of them at their peak.

[BIGJOSH]

Good first show...I can't wait to see where you take this

[Chuck]

I enjoyed the first show but my only critique point is this... Your shows look a little bit too much like Tristrams... Thats not a bad thing since Tristram runs probably the best damn diary on the whole board but just try new things and master your own style.. Other than that get to posting more shows cause I like this diary

[Brett Screwed Brett]

My style is supposed to look like Tristram's, that's where I got it from! He got it from DDTdigest.com. I asked his permission before I used it, anyway. The way I see it is there are two ways of writing show results. One is a third person style, the other is first person. What I like about Tristram's style is that it allows for both. That is why I use it, not to rip him off.

[Chuck]

ah ok well then carry on good chap

[tristram]

Great start mate, congratulations on it. Very impressed by Rey/Kanyon's result. Wicked! PS: Mate, thanks for the respect and all, but I'm sure you will do a damn fine job yourself. If your heart is in the right place and you love what made WCW gold at times (which I know from your PMs you most definitely do), you will present a fine diary. I'm quite sure you can superceed my diary, your first show shows a hell of a lot of promise.

[Air Styles]

Keep it up! Can't wait for Thunder!

[*]Both have great looks (as wrestlers of course), and are extremely athletic. [*]The match is really open, and they battle all around the ring. [*]These men seem to have excellent chemistry in the ring together. [*]O’Haire hits a kick to the gut of Johnny The Bull. [*]Powerbombs him, shaking the entire ring and probably the arena.

[*]The other man who shines is really Chavo Guerrero Jr. [*]The man who formerly used Pepe the Stick Horse to get over! [*]His ability to mat wrestle is pretty unique in our Cruiserweight Division.

[*]I would like to submit a petition that we, the WCW fans, have had enough goddammed mudhole stomping for this lifetime. [*]That’s really all the New World Order ever did. [*]Stomp.

He starts beating Sting to the mat. [*]When Douglas makes his way to Earth, he does too. [*]They basically leave Sting battered on the mat for the second week in a row. [*]Dustin Rhodes! Dustin Rhodes! [*]He's running down the enterence way towards the ring! [*]He, DDP and Douglas engage in a big brawl in the ring. [*]Sting is out of it though, he's not moving. [*]The numbers game wears on Dustin Rhodes, and he also gets beaten down. [*]The duo of Douglas and DDP have won the battle! [*]But will they win the war that's seems to be developing here? [/LIST][/QUOTE] A, B+ [B][I]Air Raid vs. Romeo and Skipper[/I][/B] [QUOTE][LIST] [*]Remember the Cruiserweight Tag Team Division? [*]Neither do I, but they've got a match RIGHT NOW! [*]I always say RIGHT NOW really quick, more like RIGHTNOW! [*]I dunno why, but it sounds better to me. [*]These four men actually put on a show. [*]They may be benefiting from the hot crowd, but they're doing the best they can, and this crowd is responding. [*]Both teams get equal offense, but finally AJ Styles nails Kid Romero with a... [*]STYLES CLASH! [*]He tags in Air Paris, who gets the 1..2..3! [*]What a gracious gesture here by Styles! [/LIST][/QUOTE] B- [B][U]Eric Bischoff Time![/U][/B] [QUOTE][LIST] [*]Eric Bischoff walks to the center of the ring. [*]He hypes up the opening match of the United States Title Tournament. [*]That'll be.. RIGHTNOW! [*]And the participants will be... Lance Storm vs. Fit Finlay? [*]The crowd gives a puzzled kind of pop. [*]But a pop nevertheless. [*]Here we go! Storm versus Finlay, winner moves on! [/LIST][/QUOTE] [B][U]Fit Finlay vs. Lance Storm[/U][/B] [QUOTE][LIST] [*]Ladies and Gentlemen of the Nitro audience, this, is a wrestling match. [*]Both men are really good technicians, and it shows. [*]However, they aren't as over as the rest of the roster. [*]But it's all good, this match is of a really high quality. [*]They go around the ring, I get a soda. [*]And when I get back...Storm seems to be celebrating. [*]The replay shows that Storm hit a flying cross-body on Finlay for the pinfall. [*]A nice move, especially for Storm. [*]And, he moves on in the US Title Tournament! [/LIST][/QUOTE] B- [B][U]Booker T Is In The Ring[/U][/B] [QUOTE][LIST] [*]Booker T is in the ring [*]He says he's ready for Mike Sanders [*]But more importantly, he's ready for Jeff Jarrett. [*]Over the last two weeks, Jeff Jarrett's interfered in two of his matches. [*]So, he's ready. [*]He warns Jarrett not to try anything. [*]"Can you dig that, slapnut SUCKA" [*]Wooo! [*]Anyway... On to the match. [/LIST][/QUOTE] A [B][U]Booker T vs. Mike Sanders[/U][/B] [QUOTE][LIST] [*]These two men... wow. [*]They tore it up! Mike Sanders for Arn's Sake! [*]Yeah, that's right. Arn. "Jesu" is too contriversial, so Arn it is. [*]Sanders gets some good offense in, but he's no Booker T. [*]Only one man is Booker T, and that's Booker T. [*]...Or maybe Stevie Ray. [*]But Booker T hits a Book-End on Sanders for the 1..2..3! [*]We've got a winner! [/LIST][/QUOTE] A [B][U]Scott Steiner vs. Bill Goldberg[/U][/B] [QUOTE][LIST] [*]The Steriod Freak versus the...possible Steroid Freak. [*]But we love him anyway! [*]Goldberg I mean. And in a totally hetero way. [*]Not a squash, which is new for Goldberg. [*]Steiner can run with Billy G, and he shows it here. [*]He picks up Goldberg, which is a [i]hell[/i] of a feat in itself. [*]Puts him on that top turnbuckle... [*]FRANKENSTEINER ON BILL GOLDBERG! [*]NO FREAKIN WAY! [*]That was impossible, no way that really just happened. [*]But Steiner's getting the pin... [*]He's got it! Steiner gets a clean win? [*]In a WCW Main Event? WHAT DEVILRY IS THIS? [/LIST][/QUOTE] A [B]Show Rating: B+[/B] [b]RAW Rating: B[/b] Austin over Benoit. Damnit.
