WWF 1992: The year that wasn't


Recommended Posts

I was sitting in my office waiting for the call from Vince saying I’m fired when in walked Jay.

“Hey kid. What the hell was that?”

“That my friend was me throwing away my career.”

“Looked like it. Earthquake over Tornado in the semi main event…why?

 

“I thought the fans would like the match better, and the shock factor would have been nice. Add that to the potential feud between the two…and yeah I’m retarded.”

 

“Not retarded kid, human. You just need to bounce back next week. Maybe even starting listening to Pat.”

 

“Great you think I need to put the strap back on Hogan too.”

 

“I didn’t say that, but the fact is Hogan sells. Hell kid at least use him.”

 

“Yeah that makes sense.”

“Good now down to business.”

 

“Let me guess…Warrior”

 

“No, but a good guess. Actually it was DiBiase.”

“What? I would’ve never…”

“It was only a little pot, but still he came up hot.”

“Yeah. Let’s…. I don’t know, is pot a big deal?”

“It can be, they say it’s a gateway drug.”

 

“Yeah, I’ve seen the commercials. What do you think.”

 

“Just read him the riot act kid. DiBiase is a true leader backstage. That should be enough to wake him up.”

“Alright. Thanks Jay…for everything.”

 

Jay just grinned and walked out of the room leaving me to wait for that phone call that never came.

I've got to say, I like this dynasty a lot, for the most part, the booking makes sense and is realistic, and I know how hard it can be to book this era in TEW, the game itself doesn't seem built to book that era, since the crowds seem to expect shows not unlike what are on Monday/Tuesday/Friday nowadays.

It is a bit difficult to sim 1992 in TEW because as you said that style of booking is just different.

Notes: I’ve decided to scrap the angle I had planned for Earthquake after what happened Wednesday, and renew the Flair Warrior feud. The big question of course is how do I get past Warrior’s creative control, but we’ll have to see what happens.</p></div><p></p><p></p>

WWF Proudly Presents…

Primetime Wrestling

Live from the Mario Morales Coliseum in Guaynabo, PR

Wednesday Week 2 March 1992

Aired On: USA Network and Sky Sports

Attendance: 8,144

 

 

Pre Show:

 

The Minions Vs. Tony Roy and Billy Smith

 

Vampiro and Greed defeated Tony Roy and Billy Smith in 5:39 when Vampiro defeated Billy Smith by pinfall with a Nail in the Coffin.

Rating: E-

Notes: These two are young and need to get some experience in some dark matches before making to big of an impact on TV.

 

 

Main Show:

 

Backstage Marty Jannetty is talking to Max Moon. He tells Moon that he is looking to start back up the New Rockers and asks Moon to partner with him next. Moon accepts.

Rating: D-

 

 

Marty Jannetty and Max Moon Vs. The Orient Express

 

Marty Jannetty and Max Moon defeated The Orient Express in 9:10 when Marty Jannetty defeated Kato by pinfall with a Rocker Dropper.

Rating: D+

Notes: I’ve got a small segment setup for Jannetty depending on how these “tryouts” go for him. We’ll see how it pans out.

 

 

Tatanka Vs. Big Bully Busick

 

Tatanka defeated Big Bully Busick in 6:39 by pinfall with an Indian Death Drop.

Rating: D

Notes: Tatanka gets yet another win, but is he still a name we can trust?

 

 

The Million Dollar Man hit’s the ring next and starts peeling off hundred dollar bills and handing them to Tatanka. Jack Tunney comes down and demands to know what’s going on. Tatanka just ignores him and heads back up the ramp when Tunney says Tatanka is disgracing his tradition. Tatanka stops dead in his tracks and thinks about going after Tunney, but he decides against it and instead walks backstage.

Rating: C

 

 

The Ultimate Warrior Vs. The Repo Man

 

The Ultimate Warrior defeated The Repo Man in 6:55 by pinfall with a Running Charge.

Rating: D+

Notes: Well this match didn’t go as planned at all. These two had no chemistry, and just when I thought Warrior could give me decent matches this only proves that only happens when he’s with someone good.

 

 

After the match Ric Flair hit’s the ring, but the over energized Warrior sees it coming and pummels Flair as soon as he hit’s the ring much to the pleasure of the fans.

Rating: B+

 

 

Hulk Hogan Vs. The Mountie

 

Hulk Hogan defeated The Mountie in 9:47 by pinfall with a Big Boot and Leg Drop.

Rating: B-

Notes: This wasn’t the match I was hoping for either. It seems you can’t count on any of the old guard to give you a great match. And Patterson wonders why I push the younger generation.

 

 

After the match Hogan grabs the mic and says it doesn’t matter if Andre is a more friendly giant. He’s still the big dude who Hogan picked up with his 27 inch pythons and slammed to the mat. At this Wrestlemania it won’t be any different. He then asks Andre what he’s going to do.

Rating: B

 

 

Bret Hart Vs. Earthquake

 

Bret Hart defeated Earthquake in 6:39 by pinfall with a Backbreaker.

Rating: B-

Notes: Not even Bret can give me a good match. It may end up being a long month unless I decide to break tradition and put some main eventers against each other.

 

 

After the match a clip is shown of the botched attacked by Shawn Michaels at Saturday Night Man Event and the announcers all got a good laugh out of it before going off the air.

Rating: B

 

 

Final Rating: C+

Notes: Crap! Apparently I pre booked Owen Vs. Jake and never scheduled it. Which is odd because I remember looking at it and thinking about where it should be placed on the card. Well…I suck.

I was going through my mail through the list of complaints when Jay stepped inside the office.

“Got a minute kid?”

 

“Sure come on in Jay. You know it’s sad really how man workers we have who were able to find enough time to write me a letter on how they don’t get enough air time.”

 

“It’s the nature of the beast kid, everyone wants to be on every show.”

“So you think I should ignore it?”

“Maybe not ignore it, but remember in the end you have a product you have to put out that people want to see. It does us no good to use The Barbarian every show over Hogan because he writes a little letter.”

 

“Oh I have letters from Hogan to.”

“Of course you do, you wouldn’t be a booker in the WWF if you didn’t.”

 

“So what’s up Jay?”

 

“Look kid I want to be the first to tell you I love the New Rockers idea. I think Jannetty could be a big hit even without Shawn.”

“So…why am I sensing a but here?”

“Because…he just came up hot for Cocaine.”

“Son of a… if we suspend him he’ll miss Wrestlemania so we would have to scrap the storyline.”

 

“I know.”

 

“So…you don’t think we should suspend him?

 

“I didn’t say that.”

 

“So, you want me to?”

 

“I think you should be fair, I just thought you should know I enjoyed where the angle was going.”

“Well hopefully he did to. At least enough to realize if he gets off that crap he could have a real future.”

“I’ll let him know. Any idea how we are going to replace that match at Wrestlemania?”

“No idea.”

 

“That’s why I don’t want your job kid.”

 

Jay let out a small laugh then left the room.

Andre the Giant and Bob Backlund Vs. The Minions

 

Andre the Giant and Bob Backlund defeated Vampiro and Greed in 7:36 when Bob Backlund defeated Greed by submission with a Crossface Chickenwing.

Rating: C

Notes: I meant to put Andre in a big match but I just ran out of room. So instead I booked him to help The Minions gain some skill.

 

 

Main Show:

 

 

Intercontinental Title Match:

Rick “The Model” Martel Vs. Greg Valentine

 

Rick 'The Model' Martel defeated Greg Valentine in 6:03 by submission with a Boston Crab. Rick 'The Model' Martel makes defense number 3 of his WWF Intercontinental title.

Rating: B-

Notes: Rick continues to impress me, and due to him being the champ his overness has already jumped nicely.

 

 

Once again after the match Rick refused to let go of the Boston Crab until Greg was unconscious.

Rating: C

 

 

Jake Roberts Vs. Jim Duggan

 

Jake Roberts defeated Jim Duggan in 7:19 by pinfall with a DDT.

Rating: B

Notes: These two fought awhile back and had great chemistry so I thought I would go back to the well since I need some better ratings.

Rating: D

 

 

Bret Hart Vs. Papa Shango

 

Bret Hart defeated Papa Shango in 6:47 by submission with a Sharpshooter.

Rating: B

Notes: These two had bad chemistry and they still managed a B segment. Makes me wonder what would happen with great chemistry.

 

 

After the match Bret says he will gladly beat Shawn Michaels one more time on the biggest stage of the year. He says after his victory though he is done with Shawn and never wants to cross paths with him again.

Rating: B

 

 

Ric Flair Vs. Davey Boy Smith

 

Ric Flair drew with Davey Boy Smith in 7:52 following a double disqualification after interference from The Ultimate Warrior.

After the match The Warrior says the spaceship is fueling up and at Wrestlemania all the stars will align for Flair to feel the inconceivable force that all the milky way… basically he said he will win the match against Flair at Wrestlemania.

Attendance: 7,753

 

 

Pre Show:

 

Bob Backlund Vs. Vampiro

 

Bob Backlund defeated Vampiro in 6:53 by submission with a Crossface Chickenwing.

Rating: C-

Notes: The plan is to train Vampiro a bit off camera to make him that much more dominate on camera.

 

 

Main Show:

 

The show opens with Greg Valentine backstage with Gene Okerlund. He says that he’s sick of Rick Martel and his cheating ways. At Wrestlemania he is going to give him a taste of his own medicine and at the same time take the WWF Intercontinental title from him.

Rating: C+

 

 

Earthquake Vs. Jim Duggan

 

Earthquake defeated Jim Duggan in 4:44 by pinfall with an Earthquake Splash.

Rating: C-

Notes: Earthquake isn’t as horrible as I had initially thought. There may be some hope for the big man after all.

 

 

After the match the camera goes backstage where The Nasty Boys have blindsided The Legion of Doom and is pummeling them with a garbage can. Jimmy Hart is standing next to them screaming to add more pain and jumping like a regular cheerleader.

Rating: B-

 

 

Tatanka Vs. Barry Horowitz

 

Tatanka defeated Barry Horowitz in 7:54 by pinfall with an Indian Death Drop.

Rating: D-

Notes: A really surprising match here. It was hurt by bad chemistry, but even so I didn’t expect this low of a rating.

 

 

Andre the Giant Vs. Papa Shango

 

Andre the Giant defeated Papa Shango in 6:56 by pinfall with a Butt Drop.

Rating: C+

Notes: These two have great chemistry but poor ring psychology. This was the biggest challenge Andre has had in awhile but handled it with relative ease, making people wonder if he really has a chance at beating Hogan.

 

 

After the match the camera goes to Jack Tunney’s office where he says he’s adding a little more stake to the ladder match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. He says the winner of the Wrestlemania match will be given a title shot at their choosing. Something never done before in the WWF.

Rating: C-

 

 

Davey Boy Smith comes to the ring next for his match and says he is disgusted by Tatanka and the way he is turning his back on his people for money. Where he comes from pride trumps respect any day of the week. He says he wants to teach Tatanka and Sid a lesson at Wrestlemania and challenges them to a tag team match.

Rating: B

 

 

Hulk Hogan Vs. Brian Knobbs

 

Hulk Hogan defeated Brian Knobbs in 7:33 by pinfall with a Big Boot and Leg Drop.

Rating: B

Notes: Hogan wins this one with ease and the crowd eats it up. He is still a larger than life superstar.

 

 

After the match Andre the Giant makes his way down to the ring and the two stare each other down nose to nose.

Rating: B

 

 

Final Rating: B-

Notes: Not a bad show by any means. With the biggest show of the year just days away. I’m hoping my booking skills are slowly getting better.

Great show Mad. I'm finding it increasingly hard to keep to the booking of the era and put on good shows, so a diary like yours is a great inspiration and a great read also. Im really looking forward to how Mania goes down

 

Thanks dude, it means a lot coming from the hottest (in a nonsexual way of course) diary writer on the boards right now. The show ratings have taken a hit because of the bookings but oh well...I'm not fired yet

Out of curiousity, what Popularity levels is the WWF at. I don't have the mod, so I'm not even sure what you're needing to break even.

 

Looking forward to Wrestlemania. Cheers!

 

Right now in the US Im a B+ in the Tristate with a B everywhere else. When I started I was an A in the Midwest...and I want to say a B+ everywhere else...but I can't say for sure

Surely the Macho Madness will top off Mania with a victory

Bret Hart Vs. Shawn Michaels

 

This has all the potential to steal the show, and there's only one show stopper in the WWF

As much as I'd love a Andre victory, convential wisdom says Hulkamania runs wild

 

The Nasty Boys W/ Jimmy Hart Vs. The Legion of Doom

 

Ohhhhhh what a rush!

 

Rick “The Model” Martel Vs. Greg Valentine

 

Rick seems to have been a great IC champ for you, so I see no reason for him to drop it here

Sid Vicious and Tatanka W/ Million Dollar Man Vs. Davey Boy Smith and Jim Duggan

The Undertaker W/ Paul Bearer Vs. Randy Savage

I don't think you want to make Taker's reign as short as Slaughter's was. Besides, it's The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. That's an institution that you get to START, man. That's an honour.

 

Ric Flair Vs.The Ultimate Warrior

In the WWF, the Ultimate Warrior isn't near as bad as most would have you believe. He's got rediculous charisma and star power, and can get the little kids screaming (in a good way). Ric Flair's for the adults. Adultery wins. Wait..........

 

Bret Hart Vs. Shawn Michaels

No doubt these guys steal the show. It's almost not even fair to everyone else on the card. I'm predicting the heel to keep the title, so the #1 Contender should logically be a face. That, and I'm Canadian, so Bret will always be rule.

 

Andre the Giant Vs. Hulk Hogan

As much as everyone would love to see Andre go out on top, he's way to professional to not DEMAND that he put someone over, when he goes out the door. Hogan with the bodyslam/leg drop combo, for nestalgia, then he leads the fans in Andre's send-off. Cheers, Giant!

 

The Nasty Boys W/ Jimmy Hart Vs. The Legion of Doom

I'm predicting every other title to stay put, and it's not Wrestlemania without a new champion of some sort. Plus, the Nasty Boys are garbage, plain and simple.

 

Rick “The Model” Martel Vs. Greg Valentine

Martel got the rub from Bret Hart. If he doesn't run with that torch, and run far, then he's an embarrassment to Canadians everywhere. Not that I get emotional on the subject, though....

 

Sid Vicious and Tatanka W/ Million Dollar Man Vs. Davey Boy Smith and Jim Duggan

Davey, I love you, but Jim Duggan is lame. Not only that, but I believe that Tatanka is still on his undefeated streak, no? I can't remember, but they win anyway.

 

Koko B. Ware Vs. Papa Shango

Koko is a jobber-for-life. Shango is actually marketable. I hope he steals Undertaker's urn. That was fantastic.

 

The New Hart Foundation Vs. Jake Roberts and ???

The New Hart's roll off on the Magical Mystery Partner Tour. Props to BoomKing on the wicked JD joke.

 

Texas Tornado Vs. Big Boss Man

This is a bit of a throwaway match, so I'm just swinging this way on personal preference. I was never a WCCW fan (to be honest, I never saw it), so I'm not sold on a Von Erich. Good opening match fodder.

 

This is a fantastic looking card. I'm really looking forward to Andre/Hogan, Taker/Savage, and obviously Hart/Michaels.

 

Cheers!

You know I never understood why everyone hates the Nasty Boys. Were they really that bad? I ask because I was just a kid in this era but I remember loving the nasty boys...just curious.

 

Thanks for the kind words on the card. I just hope it can live up to everyones expectations.
