burnum81 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ok, I'm about to start my very first diary. This is the scenario: After a huge arguement with his dad, Shane McMahon angrily turned his back on WWE and decided to take care of his own matters and reinstalled the WCW in the South East. I'll use a modified version of the latest KYR mod for this diary. The new WCW is set as a 'National' promotion, clearly smaller than WWE ('Global') and about the same size as TNA (also 'National'). The new WCW has a TV contract with TNT, which will expire after 16 shows. WCW also has contracts with 2 PPV carriers (DirecTV and Dish). The initial roster only contains workers who previously have not been under contract (with Shane McMahon being the only exception). For time reasons, I will not write matches in a detailed move-by-move way (as iMac does in his great 'The Next Generation' diary) but I will concentrate on what's important (so I will briefly summarize what happened in every match/angle and occasionally add a full dialogue). Although I've spent some time in the US, I'm not a native English speaker. I hope that won't be a problem... NEXT: The initial WCW roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnum81 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Those are just the workers who were unemployed at the beginning of the game. I'll have to sign a bunch of guys to be able to outperform TNA. I'll keep you updated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commentators are Jimmy Hart and Roddy Piper. Shane McMahon calls a company meeting to explain his motives to part from his father’s company. He also reveals that WCW is actively looking to strengthen its roster in the upcoming weeks. Furthermore, Shane lets us know that there will be 5 different titles in WCW. In the following weeks there will be qualifying matches for each title. Finally, all 5 titles will be fought for at the WCW SuperBrawl, held in 4 weeks from now. A complete list of PPVs will be revealed right here at WCW Nitro on TNT, next Wednesday. B- Elijah Burke defeated Chris Kanyon in 6:34 by pinfall with an Elijah Express.

E+ Rene Dupree defeated Arik Cannon in 9:47 by submission with a Cobra Clutch after blatantly cheating.

C- Bob Holly defeated Big Bam in 9:39 by pinfall with an Alabama Slam. E+ During an in-ring promo, Shane McMahon tells the crowd that in tonights main event, DDP will take on Chuck Palumbo.

burnum81 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Just a little technical question. I'd like to add more pictures to the show reports. What is the easiest way to add links/pictures in a diary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Just upload them to your site if you have one, or to photobucket or somewhere else and then just use code like I do with my diaries, ie. BBW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyde Hill Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 As a national company assuming you are playing as the owner you can sign the on hiatus people too. Plus a strong argumant can be made for some retired people to come back in the bussiness or step back in the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyde Hill Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 nice signings altough I want the bad guy! Aka Scott Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnum81 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Scott Hall was too risky for me. On one of my previous game he died... But if you look at the signings, without saying too much in advance, there should be a decent bad guy... I also wanted to sign some top indy stars (Hero, Jacobs, Aries and a few others) but they were loyal to their respective indy promotions. Is there any way they might change their minds in the (near) future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyde Hill Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Sometimes its loyalty to a person which may vanish. sometimes they outgrow the promotion by becoming too popular for the size but many times its the multiple contracts they have so just wait till they get below 3 and snap em up. PS Scott Hall dying is mainly cauz of his bad habits just comprehensive test him and stern warn/fine/last chance a good many times until he says promise wont get caught on all three. then fire his ass but dont complete the firing the next day that will sober him up asap.

burnum81 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 [ATTACH]3510[/ATTACH] WCW Nitro, Week 2 in February 2009, held at Hara Arena in Dayton, OH in front of 5.000 people (sold out).

B- After being attacked by Holly last week, Diamond Dallas Page defeated Bob Holly in 8:43 by pinfall with a Diamond Cutter. C Bill Goldberg appears and lets us know that he spoke to Shane McMahon and made sure he gets a chance to face Raven in the ring. The match will take place at this month's PPV: WCW SuperBrawl. C+ The Highlanders defeated Kid Kash and Big Bam in 5:32 when Robbie McAllister defeated Kid Kash by pinfall with a Spike Pedigree. D- Backstage, we see Becky Bayless interviewing Diamond Dallas Page after his win agains Bob Holly. After what he had said last week, DDP challenges Hade Vansen to a match next week on Nitro.

D+ After their catfight last week, Ashley challenges Lacey Von Erich to a match.

D- Lance Cade defeated Elijah Burke in 12:59 by pinfall with a Roll Up after Burke was distracted by Disco Inferno from the announcer's table. Burke dominated much of the match but in the end he was surprised by a smart Lance Cade. C+ Before the show is over, Shane McMahon comes out again and introduces his newest signing: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the greatest of them all, the man who made wrestling what it is today, the immortal – HULK HOGAN!!!” Hogan comes to the ring, casually dressed, and the crowd gives him a standing ovation.

I’m here for something special.” B+ The crowd continues to cheer for Hogan, who then introduces another new signing: “One to watch for in the future. He’s got all the tools you need but up north his talents were wasted, just as so many others. Please welcome, my protégé – Kenny Dykstra!” A Final Show Rating: C+, Rating on TNT: 3.16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
