Jim Herd Is Dead: WCW 1991

[stevegrind]

"Jim Herd can go to hell." The men at the table started laughing and cheering. Jim Herd had made WCW a miserable place to work. I was nervous as can be standing in front of these guys. Guys I grew up watching. Champions. Legends. Ric freaking Flair was six feet away from me. Thankfully I broke the ice. "Some of you may know me from my time with the NWA and before that World Class. I'm looking forward to making WCW bigger than anyone could ever imagine. This is a new time, a new decade. We're only nine years away from the year 2000. WCW is at a crossroads, wondering what direction to go in. I'm here to tell you that direction. Gone are the days of confusion, mismanagement, political bull****. Gone are the days of the only guys getting pushes are those who work their way into others good graces. Those idiots up north with Vince are going in a new direction. Comedy and cartoon characters for the kiddies. WCW is going to be real wrestling. Old school, where guys get punched in the mouth and punch right back. WCW is blood sweat and tears. WCW is wrestling. Gentlemen, we are wrestling." Some of the guys sitting in front of me looked a little worried, some smiled, some clapped. It's scary going away from what your used to. Guys only getting pushed because they're friends with the booker. Yeah, that's not going to happen any more. This is my WCW, where real wrestlers get the push. The 90's are going to see a major development in wrestling. A boom in the business is coming and the name on every ones lips will be WCW. ------------- WCW ENTERS NEW ERA: New WCW booker and president Steven Richards has released several wrestlers from their contracts. Chris Cruise Madusa Miceli Tim Horner David Sheldon Dwyan McCullough Brad Armstrong Matt Borne Bill Kazmaier Black Bart Buddy Landell Buddy Lee Parker Charlie Norris Chris Youngblood Curtis Highes Moondog Rex Dick Slater Jorge Gonzales Curtis Thompson Van Hammer Jim Cain Jimmy Garvin Dale Veasey Mark Youngblood Mike Shaw Paul Neu Ranger Ross Sam Houston Mark Canterbury Steve Armstrong Dave Sullivan Todd Champion It's going to be interesting on how he uses the current talent plus any new talent that will be debuting over the coming weeks and months. ----------------- Welcome to Jim Herd is Dead: WCW 1991. ----------------- [B]NOTE:[/B] The next show I post in my TIGER diary is the last one on this board. I'm moving it completely to EWbattleground. This is going to be my diary here on this board. I think some of you will dig it. The write ups won't be as detailed as the TIGER shows are but that will allow me to get them done quicker. I hope you enjoy my take on WCW as it will be very different than the WCW we saw in real life. I grew up on WCW, I didn't care about WWF one but until they purchased the company in 2000. I hated that so much I stopped watching wrestling for over a year. First show, WCW Saturday Night up next.

Live from Tulsa, OK at the Tulsa Mabee Center. January 5th, 1991. [quote]Boomer Sooner, we're live from Tulsa Oklohoma, welcome to WCW Saturday Night. I'm Jim Ross joined as always by Gordon Solie. Tonight we have a big main event for you with Ravishing Rick Rude taking on Beautiful Bobby Eaton. Also the tag team champions Doom will be in action in a non title match against the Steiner Brothers. The currently vacant Light Heavyweight Title is up for grabs as we have two matches tonight in which the winners will face each other at Clash of the Champions for the title. Finally...[/quote] [i]J.R is cut off by Ric Flair's music playing as he and the Horsemen, Barry Windham, Ole and Arn Anderson walk down to the ring. Flair grabs the mic from the ring announcer.[/i] [QUOTE]Flair: Whooo, Tulsa the Horsemen have arrived. The Nature Boy has something he needs to say. I've been hearing that people are saying The Horesmen aren't any good anymore. The Horsemen can't win the gold. The Horsemen are washed up. No no, the jet flying limousine riding wheeling dealing kiss stealin son of a gun Ric Flair is not washed up. The Enforcer Arn Anderson is not washed up. Ole Anderson is not washed up. Barry Windham... Barry it's time to trim the fat. You're weighing the Horseman down and it's time for you to leave.[/QUOTE] [i]Barry Windham has a look of shock sweep across his face as he starts pleading with Ric Flair and the Andersons. He looks to be begging to keep his spot. Ric Flair pulls back and knocks Windham down with a big punch. The Horsemen start putting the boots to him. Arn and Ole pick up Windham and hold him with his arms behind his back.[/i] [QUOTE]Flair: Barry, you can't hang with us any more. It's time for the Horsemen to get back to greatness baby. It's over for you.[/QUOTE] [i]Flair nails Windham with another punch and they leave him down on the mat. Flairs music hits and he and the Andersons go to the back as referees come down to help out Barry Windham.[/i] [i]Sting is backstage with Gary Michael Cappetta.[/i] [quote]Cappetta: I'm here with the World Heavyweight Champion, the fan favorite Sting. Sting a question on a lot of peoples minds is how long can he hold the title. Your thoughts? Sting: Gary, I've got to tell you it's tough being champion. Everyone is gunning for you but you know what the Stinger is up for the challenge. I've beaten some great great men to keep this belt around my waist and I'm not going to stop anytime soon. It doesn't matter whos coming for this belt, I know I can beat anyone that comes in front of me. Capetta: Thanks Sting, J.R, Gordon, back to you.[/quote] [b]Light Heavyweight Title Tournament Match Jushin "Thunder" Liger vs. Joey Maggs[/b] [quote]This match was all Liger as he showed why he can be called one of the best light heavyweights in the world. Maggs was able to slow down Liger with a dropkick top rope elbowdrop combo but Liger fought back and was able to nail the [b]sheerdrop brainbuster[/b] for the win. After the match Liger shakes Maggs hand then makes a title motion across his waist. The fans love his high speed high impact style.[/quote] [i]Gary Michael Cappetta is backstage with the Steiners.[/i] [quote]Scott: Doom you seem to have something wrong with you two. You seem to think you're the best tag team in WCW. I'm sorry to burst your bubble but the Steiners are, and have been the best tag team in this company since the day we stepped foot in a WCW ring. We've got you two in a non title match but it won't make a difference if the title is on the line or not. It'll still end in a 1 2 3 for the Steiner brothers.[/quote] [i]Rick barks and gets fired up before Capetta tosses it back to J.R and Solie.[/i] [b]Light Heavyweight Title Tournament Match Art Barr vs. Scorpio[/b] [QUOTE]Scorpio came out to a lot of cheers and got right into it with Barr. Barr was taking every shortcut possible to try and get the win. He raked Scorpio's eyes so he could put him down with a DDT. Barr had things slowed down as Scorpio was in a sleeperhold. The fans cheers willed Scorpio back to his feet and it looked like he was going to have the win until Barr went to the eyes again, tripped up Scorpio and locked in a [b]single leg crab[/b]. Scorpio taps out and Barr moves to the finals against Liger. [/QUOTE] [i]A cameraman is backstage as Lex Luger is walking down the hallway with his U.S title across his shoulder. Steve Williams walks up to him and slaps the title.[/i] [quote]Williams: Boy you better hang on to that title as long as you can because I'm coming for it. Luger: Get your hands off of me. What makes you think you can take this belt from me? Williams: I've beaten men ten times tougher than you. Luger you might just want to hand it over because it won't end pretty.[/quote] [i]Luger shoves Williams and he shoves back until referees and security break them up.[/i] [b]Non Title Match World Television Champion Tom Zenk vs. Brian Pillman[/b] [QUOTE]This match was a back and forth contest that saw both men get in some offense. Pillman brought a very close to three count with a top rope cross body block. the Z-Man fired back with some kicks that set up Pillman for a superplex. The move took a lot out of both men. As Zenk was crawling towards Pillman the ring announcer tells everyone that the time limit in this match of 10 minutes has expired. Neither man is pleased with the result. You better believe a rematch is coming.[/QUOTE] [i]Michael Cappetta is back with Terry Funk who says he has something to say.[/i] [QUOTE]Funk: You know something Cappetta all these people have written Terry Funk off but they still know I've got fire inside me. I'm not done yet by a long shot. I've broken bones, bled massive amounts, and been beaten down pretty badly but I keep coming back. Now this youngster Terry Gordy wants to use me to get to the top. He wants to get to my level, to Ric Flairs Level, to Sting's level. Well kid you got a lot to learn. You gotta earn respect you can't just take it. I'm going to teach you a lesson about respect tonight son. [/QUOTE] [b]Diamond Dallas Page & "Vegas" Kevin Nash vs. Hiroshi Hase & Masahiro Chono[/b] [QUOTE]DDP and Nash seem to be on different pages as throughout the match they were arguing. Nash totally ignored DDP's requests for a tag multiple times through the match. This allowed Chono to take out the leg of Nash and set him up for a big suplex. He followed that up with a STF. Nash looked to be ready to tap but he used his large frame to get to the ropes. Chono was shaking off the beating he had taken before the hold when Nash knocked Hase off the apron to the guardrail. Nash hit a big boot to the back of Chono's head which pushed him into DDP knocking him off the apron as well. Nash swings Chono around... [b]JACKKNIFE POWERBOMB[/b]! Nash gets the win for his team but he doesn't seem to want anything with his partner DDP. [/QUOTE] [b]Terry Funk vs. Terry Gordy[/b] [QUOTE]Terry Gordy and Terry Funk are brawling away outside the ring before the match has even started. Funk is laying into Gordy with jabs knocking him back into the guardrail. Gordy runs away and ducks into the ring. Funk follows suit but gets stomped on as he does. Gordy picks up Funk and drops him on his cranium with a deadly backdrop. Funk lays still until Gordy picks him back up. Massive jumping piledriver by Gordy. He grabs Funk again only to put him down with another [b]piledriver[/b]. Gordy covers him and gets the win. He's certainly sent a message to not only Funk but everyone else who might have to face him.[/QUOTE] [quote]J.R: We've just gotten word that WCW management has signed Lex Luger against Dr. Death Steve Williams for WCW Saturday Night next week![/quote] [b]Non Title Match Steiner Brothers again WCW World Tag Team Champions Doom[/b] [QUOTE]The Steiners came out hard against Doom. They want those titles badly. Doom cam back as Simmons hit Scott with some big clubbing back blows to beat him down. Rick Steiner came in and took out Simmons with a big lariat. He ducked two Reed punches to waistlock him... turns it around... RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! Scotty gets up and goes after Ron Simmons, beating him down... throws him into the ropes... back body drop. Scott lifts him up on his shoulders... Rick goes up top... [b]DOOMSDAY BULLDOG[/b]! Steiners get the cover and the win. They celebrate afterwords but Teddy Long has given his men steel chairs and they use them. Both Scott and Rick Steiner taste steel as Doom gets revenge for the loss. They hold the titles in front of their faces yelling at them before finally leaving.[/QUOTE] [quote]Solie: We have Barry Windham backstage with comments about what happened earlier tonight.[/quote] [i]Windham is backstage sitting down in the medical area with an ice pack to his face.[/i] [QUOTE]Windham: Ric Flair you made the biggest mistake of your career. You think I'm washed up, I'm dead weight, I'm slowing you down. You have no idea what your getting yourself into. I want you in a match Flair. One on one. I'll beat you so badly people won't even remember who you were. I know all your tricks Ric. You've brought shame to the Horsemen name. A name I worked hard to make mean something. I guess I'll just have to do things differently. So Ric, when your ready you let me know what day you want to lose to me and we'll make it happen. [/QUOTE] [b]Main Event Beautiful Bobby Eaton vs. Ravishing Rick Rude[/b] [QUOTE]It was all Eaton in the early going. He had Rude running away from him as every time he got close it was Eaton firing off big punches. Eaton finally got a hold of him and suplex him down. He put the boots to him a little before bringing him down with a shoulder break. Rude conveniently knocks the ref down then low blows Eaton. He plants him with the Rude Awakening. Ref crawls over and makes the count, Rude even puts his feet on the ropes to add insult to injury. Rude grabs the win and celebrates but before we go off the air... [/QUOTE] [i]Barry Windham is up in the parking garage chasing after Ric Flair. Out of know where comes the Andersons and they take down Windham. Flair speeds by in a limo and after smashing Windham's face into the car door Arn and Ole get it.

Alexandra York will be looking for new employment after being released yesterday. From what we're hearing WCW has signed some new talent that could be debuting soon. Eddie Guerrero who works mostly in Japan has signed a contract with WCW. He's a young exciting high flyer that is sure to help build up the Light Heavyweight division. Chris Jericho is another youngster full of talent. The Canada native has been working for CMLL down in Mexico and BCW in Canada. Finally a name some of you might know has signed a deal with WCW, Scott Hall. He's got a very good look to him as well as size and charisma. He's spent some time with the WWF and currently works in Puerto Rico for WWC. Finally be on the look out for WCW to be adding more talent not just for the Light Heavyweight ranks but to fill out the upper card scene which is sorely lacking right now.

[B]WCW NEWS[/B] We have learned that Michael Hayes match last night against Rick Rude was his last for WCW. Hayes has signed an exclusive deal with the WWF. The Four Horsemen have been reinvented in WCW as they look to have their strongest lineup ever. New WCW booked Steven Richards is said to love the idea of the Horsemen so it looks like the group will be a focal point in WCW. The new lineup consists of Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Terry Gordy, and Steve Williams. Ole Anderson who is stepping down from active competition is going to be staying on in a manager/coach role much like JJ Dillion was. WCW World Champion Sting seems to find himself in a rivalry with Vader. Vader who has been trying to physically intimidate Sting found himself being chased off by the champ last night. Finally, Doom and Teddy Long tried taking out the Steiners last night by sneak attacking them before their match. Doom won the match but look for the Steiners to get revenge. The gold is in the eyeline of the Steiners and Doom had better watch out.
