WCW: Phoenix From The Ashes...


Recommended Posts

Prediction List

-----------------------

 

10-Man Battle Royal for #1 Contendership to US Title

Shawn Michaels, Shawn Stasiak, Rick Steiner, Hugh Morris, Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell, Bam Bam Bigelow, Diamond Dallas Page, Elix Skipper, Jamie Noble

-Shawn's the biggest name in the match, but I think the US title is beneath him. Though I could see him winning the battle royal so he has something to do at GAB, I'm going to go with DDP and say HBK is eliminated in controversial fashion, setting up a match for him on the PPV.

 

Norman Smiley v Toro

-Toro's going to squash him, Big Wiggle be damned.

 

Shane Helms & Billy Kidman v Chavo Guerrero Jr & AJ Styles

-This one really could go either way. A victory over the champ could keep Chavito strong heading into his title shot, so that would make sense. But since Sugar Shane was already pinned at Legacy, I think he could use a win to get some of his heat back.

 

The Natural Born Thrillers © v Scott Steiner & Lance Storm - Nontitle

-I don't think it'd make much since for Scotty to be on the losing end here, 6 days before his title shot.

 

(Starting from here to Bash @ The Beach, I'm going to have a prediction competition, whoever wins at the end of the BATB will get the chance to help me with a creative decision in the game, hope ya'll predict!)

-That's a good idea. I've actually been toying with the idea of introducing some kind of reward for predictions in my own diary.

Dark Matches

 

Booker T def. ??? B

- Was testing out the new acquisition in this dark match against the champ, and I definitely enjoyed the result. I'm gonna give the plans between these two a green light.

Main Show

 

After a decent-sized pyro display at the stage our cameras zoom in to our commentators of the night Tony Schiavone and 'The Immortal' Hulk Hogan.

Tony: Welcome everyone to yet another new episode of Monday Night Nitro! Tony Schiavone here alongside Hulk Hogan, Hulk what an episode last week was huh?

Hulk: Oh you bet Schiavone, last week as if we thought all the past was over and done with between Booker T and Shawn Michaels, it seems that it all just re-heated back up!

Tony: Wonder what the fallout from that's gonna be, anyways the Great American Bash is live this Sunday! 3 Hours of pure WCW action and what a show it's looking to be so far!

Hogan: We've got Booker T taking on Scott Steiner to defend his World Heavyweight Championship so far, and we've got the Tag and Cruiserweight titles on the line! So far lookin' to be a great card Tony.

Tony: And tonight we've got matches that we think could rival Sunday's card.

Hogan: Main event for the evening's gonna be the Tag team Champs the Natural Born Thrillers taking on Lance Storm & Scott Steiner. And the newcomer Toro will face Norman Smiley this week.

Tony: Don't forget Cruiserweight tag-team action and a 10-Man Battle Royal to find out who's going to GAB to challenge for Lance Storm's United States Championship, and that match is now!

- As usual, an all-out brawl starts off this one.

- Early on Totally Buff looks as if their advantage of being a team is working for them, nearly getting Morris out.

- The Cruiserweights are holding their own as well.

- Though that soon stops working as Noble throws Skipper out...

- ELIX SKIPPER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

- Noble taunts Skipper as Stasiak then comes from behind and throws Noble out.

- JAMIE NOBLE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

- DDP works on Bam Bam as the others soon join him trying to get the big man out.

- But Bam Bam fights back and holds the others off.

- In the confusion, DDP accidentally knocks out Rick Steiner, although the less the better y'know?

- RICK STEINER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

- Hugh Morris tries throwing Stasiak out but the youngster holds his own and then whips Morris out of the ring.

- HUGH MORRIS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

- Totally Buff still tries the teamwork against Bam Bam.

- But Bam Bam then picks up both and dumps them over the top.

- BUFF BAGWELL HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

- LEX LUGER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

- Final 4: Michaels, Stasiak, Page, Bigelow

- HBK works on Bigelow while Stasiak works on DDP.

- Even match so far until Stasiak lands on the outside of the ropes but manages to hang on.

- He ends up grabbing DDP's head and somehow suplexes him out of the ring!

- DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

- While this happens Michaels chops Bam Bam off the ring apron.

- BAM BAM BIGELOW HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

- Stasiak and Michaels have a brief staredown and then go at it.

- Pretty even for a couple of minutes until Michaels gets on the ring apron.

- Stasiak looks close to taking Michaels out until he ducks a punch and gets back in.

- Stasiak misses a standing clothesline as HBK ducks and then hits him with a Heartbreaker! Stasiak flies out of the ring!

 

Winner and #1 Contender to the United States Championship: Shawn Michaels in 17:17!

B-

- Thought this match rating suited the match, very pleased.

http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/ShawnMichaels.jpg

 

Michaels then immediately beckons for someone from ringside to hand him a microphone.

 

HBK: Cut the music! Last week, I put my trust into a man who said that his actions at WCW Legacy were purely accidental. Yet last week, he nearly repeated the same mistake again. Booker T! I don't want to hear any excuses tonight, I just want you to know I will never fall for any of this stuff again! I'm not saying that I won't watch your back anymore, as you've got a big target on your back. But let me just say that no one screws Shawn Michaels over, nobody.

Tony: Well Michaels certainly is a cheery fellow today.

Hulk: Tony, you know as well as I that Booker nearly hit HBK again last week, he has every right to be mad at the Champ.

Norman Smiley v Toro

 

http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/NormanSmiley.jpg v http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/Toro.jpg

 

- Of course you could obviously tell this thing wasn't going any other way.

- Toro dominates from the very beginning, and quickly puts away Norman Smiley with a Chokeslam.

 

Winner: Toro in 1:28

 

C-

- Blah, thought it'd get a C at least but I'll take it.

http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/Toro.jpghttp://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/JamesMitchell.jpg

 

Mitchell: So far this year my client has demonstrated the sheer power he can generate and the destruction that he can wreak across WCW. He demands better competition, this man is going to be the man to single-handedly cause the death of WCW! He will pulverize and destroy anyone he comes into contact with, and he needs bigger and more badder victims...so...

 

http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/LexLuger.jpghttp://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/BuffBagwell.jpg

 

Buff: Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa...calm down there shorty. You say you want the biggest and baddest? Well you've got it, Totally Buff accepts your challenge for the Great American Bash!

 

Mitchell: Ha! You must be joking! You two haven't won a match since the return of WCW, I highly doubt you'll be able to put away Toro. But nonetheless, Toro needs some rag dolls to throw around so consider the match all signed and ready, as this Sunday you will meet your doomsday! Hahahaha!

 

B-

Tony: Well Totally Buff sticking their foot in the door and challenging Toro to a match at the Great American Bash!

Hulk: Sure there might be a power difference between these two and that monster but I'm thinking the numbers difference will definitely play into this one.

After the match Billy Kidman leaves, as soon as he heads backstage Elix Skipper and Jamie Noble appear from the crowd and then beat down Helms, Guerrero stays outside of the ring and watches the beatdown ensue. Noble's about to hit a big kick to the side of the head when WCW Management Representative Ricky Steamboat stands on the entrance ramp.

 

http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/RickySteamboat.jpg

 

Steamboat: Hold it right there Noble! Don't even think about doing it! Listen, I know you two aren't happy with last week's result with Guerrero becoming the #1 Contender to the Cruiserweight Championship, there's nothing I can do about that. But...seeing as you two want to pick apart the champion I'm going to make a change to the Cruiserweight Title Match, at the Great American Bash it will be Shane Helms vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Elix Skipper vs. Jamie Noble in a Fatal 4-Way for the Cruiserweight Championship!

Goldberg is shown backstage by himself staring into the camera.

 

Goldberg: Last week Sting, you decided to have some fun and play your mind games with me, resulting in you cheaply attacking me from behind last week. Well you can't run anymore Sting, I went to WCW Management Representative Ric Flair last week and asked him if we could have a little match at the Great American Bash. And you want to know something Stinger? He thought it was a great idea and immediately approved it. This Sunday, you can't turn off the lights on me, you can't attack me from behind, as this Sunday, you'll be facing me!

Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash run down to the ring! Nash immediately hits a big boot on Bryan Clark sending him out of the ring while Michaels hits a Heartbreaker Kick on Adams sending him flying out of the ring. Michaels then gets up and gets in Booker's face. Booker then nods and just is shown mouthing the words thank you to Michaels, the two then embrace in the ring as it seems that their differences may have finally been put aside.

Tony: Well partner I think it's finally over! This bad blood between Shawn Michaels & Booker T is not over and both can now focus on their title matches at the Great American Bash.

http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/WCW.jpg

 

- The Great American Bash is this weekend for WCW, the event is currently being headlined by Booker T vs. Scott Steiner for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

 

- WCW has indeed signed one of WWF's releases from last week, they plan on debuting him sometime in July. He was rumoured to have been working a dark match on the past episode of Nitro.

 

- WCW Chairman Preston Scott is reportedly interested in re-opening Thursday Night Thunder. When asked about this Scott simply said, "I'm definitely interested in bringing Thunder back, but first off we've got to get situated with our current show Nitro."

 

TV Ratings

 

Monday Night RAW - 4.07 (+.01)

*RAP* *RAP* *RAP*

 

Who could possibly be at the door now? I've got business to take care of...

 

"Oh hey Patrick, come on in."

 

"Hey dad, read in the Wrestling Observer today that you were interested in bringing back Thursday Night Thunder?"

 

"Definitely Pat, trust me, we're currently shooting up like a rocket and we're going to need a 2nd show soon to help build more storylines."

 

"You do understand we need a bigger roster right? Even currently we're running a bit short on guys."

 

"Hey, you've got the creative control. So sign away, just don't go crazy with the money like your no-good mother."

 

"Dad, drop it."

 

And with that I quickly left my dad's office before he started off on another tangent of trash-talking about my mom, who left him about 10 years ago. Ever since she left, he seems to be less trust-worthy of the people around him. But I'm sure he'll eventually become more trusting soon.

 

Anyways, what was I doing? Ah yes, signing new workers. Could go around the indies, head overseas, well Dad told me to go sign whoever right? Guess it doesn't matter what I did.

 

And so I picked up the phone...

World Championship Wrestling proudly presents the return of the Great American Bash! WCW promises to give you 3 straight hours of entertainment of some of the greatest professional wrestling action ever! Ever since the return of WCW two weeks ago, World Heavyweight Champ Booker T has had his hands full with not just Scott Steiner, his opponent for tonight, but also some growing tension with Shawn Michaels. Booker has said that he's completely focused on his title match tonight, but the big mystery is if Shawn Michaels would show up. Michaels has his own match tonight against Lance Storm for the US Championship, in what should be a great matchup. Two other titles are on the line tonight as the Natural Born Thrillers will defend their Tag Titles against KroniK while Shane Helms will defend his Cruiserweight Title against three others tonight. The team of Totally Buff will also be in action against the monster Toro while Goldberg will look to settle the score against Sting, who he's a had a beef with for the past couple of weeks. Six monstrous matches, six reasons for you to order WCW Great American Bash on InDemand this Sunday, we'll see you there!

Ever since Toro stepped foot in a WCW ring, he's left nothing but a path of destruction behind him. Leaving Norman Smiley, Rick Steiner, and Bam Bam Bigelow all victims of a monstrous clothesline, but he finally might have some competition in Totally Buff. Lex Luger & Buff Bagwell both have been bit on a slump lately but both are desperate to get back to their winning ways as they try to take down James Mitchell's monster. It's going to be one big powerhouse against a team of powerhouses, an all-out power matchup. Can Toro claim victory yet again in WCW or will Totally Buff finally stop this monster? Order Great American Bash now to find out!

Cruiserweight Champion 'Sugar' Shane Helms finds himself defending against three other challengers for his title at the Great American Bash. Helms first was to defend against Chavo Guerrero Jr who won against these other two in a triple-threat match two weeks ago on Nitro. However, Skipper & Noble then attacked Helms on the previous episode of Nitro prompting WCW Management Representative Ricky Steamboat to make this match a fatal-four way matchup. With the three challengers hungry to climb back into the spotlight and reclaim the Cruiserweight Championship, expect anything to happen in this one. And remember, the champion does not have to be pinned in order for the title to exchange hands.

After defending their titles against KroniK on the first episode of Nitro, KroniK attacked the Natural Born Thrillers, causing Ric Flair to grant them a rematch against the NBTs. This time in a Tornado Tag match, meaning that there are no tags, both members of the tag team fighting against the other two members at the same time. WCW Announcer Tony Schiavone interviewed Palumbo on Wednesday and said that this match is now personal after KroniK attacked the champions after their main event bout on Monday Night Nitro. The NBTs certainly looked focused, but KroniK themselves have been training pretty hard as well, who will prevail in this match and take home the tag team titles?

Both of these WCW Superstars both found themselves having some major controversy follow them when the return of WCW happened. Storm captured the United States Championship from Booker T at WCW Legacy, although it was 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner who helped Storm get the victory by taunting Booker. While Michaels found himself being kicked in the jaw by Booker, who was trying to gain some retribution by trying to kick Steiner, who rolled out of the way. Michaels and Booker both had a bit of a war of words but both eventually got over the scuffle, until it nearly happened again two weeks ago. Though last week the two seem to have once again made up. This Sunday, it's going to be all business when these two get in the ring as both are looking for a way to help catapult them towards a possible shot at the World Heavyweight Title, and to see who will walk out of the Great American Bash United States Champion. Order the Great American Bash on InDemand now in order to get all of the wrestling action!

 

Sting v Goldberg

 

http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/Sting.jpg v http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/Goldberg.jpg

 

It all started at WCW Legacy, not just the return of WCW, but the start of this feud. In the Fatal 4-Way for the #1 Contendership to the World Heavyweight Championship, Goldberg seemed as if he was about to secure the victory and his title shot by hitting a Spear on Scott Steiner but it was Sting who speared Goldberg out of the ring. Goldberg retaliated the next night on the debut episode of Monday Night Nitro by calling out Sting to have a talk with him but Sting started to use some mind games with Goldberg, who grew visibly frustrated. Sting then crawled out from under the ring and attacked Goldberg, who appeared the next week to inform Sting that they'd have a match at the Great American Bash. This Sunday, when Goldberg finally gets his hands on Sting sparks will fly as these two legends of WCW will square off in what will sure be a Grade-A match, order this match now when you order the Great American Bash on InDemand this Sunday!

Scott Steiner earned his title shot at WCW Legacy by winning a four-way match to secure his #1 Contendership. That night Steiner also interfered in Booker T's US Championship match causing Booker to lose his title. Steiner refused to respond to any questions posed by our Gene Okerland as he seemed to just be completely focused to regain what he claims was wrongly taken from him, the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. The Champ himself has had his fair share of action since then as well, defeating Steiner in a tag-team matchup two weeks ago and having the night off last Monday. Booker used his time wisely to help train for this match, and he seems just as equally focused as Steiner heading into this one. With the most prestigious title in wrestling history on the line at one of the most historic wrestling PPVs of all time, these two will stop at nothing to claim victory and claim themselves as the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Order InDemand this Sunday to watch the Great American Bash and receive all of the blockbuster matches for just $39.99!

Totally Buff v Toro

-Too early for Toro to lose, despite the 2-on-1 setup.

 

Shane Helms © v Chavo Guerrero Jr v Elix Skipper v Jamie Noble - WCW Cruiserweight Championship

-This is a complete toss-up. I debated between Helms and Chavito, but I'll go with the champ to retain.

 

The Natural Born Thrillers © v KroniK - WCW World Tag Team Championships

-KroniK are arguably your most established team, so I think putting the belts on them makes sense.

 

Shawn Michaels v Lance Storm © - WCW United States Championship

-Lance Storm is the perfect US Champ, IMO, and HBK is clearly a main eventer. I think Storm retains in some sort of screwy fashion, possibly involving Booker T. This will be match of the night, I'm thinking.

 

Sting v Goldberg

-Could go either way. I'm going with Sting, as I could see you turning him heel in the near future: your main event picture seems pretty skewed towards faces, and could use another big time heel.

 

Booker T © v Scott Steiner - WCW World Heavyweight Championship

-You seem to be building for a Booker/HBK feud, so I think Booker retains here.

Really enjoying this keep on going here are my predictions.

 

Totally Buff v Toro

 

Looks like you are building Toro up to be you're monster so i think he needs the win more than totally buff.

 

Shane Helms © v Chavo Guerrero Jr v Elix Skipper v Jamie Noble - WCW Cruiserweight Championship

 

Not sure why but my gut tells me Helms is going to retain

 

The Natural Born Thrillers © v KroniK - WCW World Tag Team Championships

 

I hate Kronik so i am going with NBT

 

Shawn Michaels v Lance Storm © - WCW United States Championship

 

Storm will go over with some kind of screw job finish

 

Sting v Goldberg

 

This one could go either way but i am going to have to go for Goldberg

 

Booker T © v Scott Steiner - WCW World Heavyweight Championship

Sudden bursts of red and blue pyro erupt from the ground and above the ring at the Allstate Arena.

Tony: Here are we folks in Chicago Illinois as we're proud to present the Great American Bash! Tony Schiavone alongside my broudcast partner 'The Immortal' Hulk Hogan as we've got a Grade-A card for you folks here tonight, right Hulk?

Hulk: Y'got that right Tony, the Great American Bash has been known for it's great cards over the years but here's one that may finally settle this rivalry between Booker T & Scott Steiner.

Tony: And don't forget that that match will be for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. And another match that I've been waiting for has been Sting v Goldberg.

Hulk: I've been waiting for this one too Schiavone, we've got two utter legends in the ring as it's going to be a clash-of-the-giants. Goldberg's definitely looking for revenge against that attack by Sting two weeks ago.

Tony: And remember that this all goes back to WCW Legacy when Sting speared Goldberg out of the ring. And don't forget folks that the Cruiserweight, Tag Team, and United States championships are all on the line tonight as well.

Sting: Goldberg, let me be the first to say that you've got nerves of steel challenging me to a match tonight at the Great American Bash. Although I must say you're pretty dimwitted as well, thinking that it's a personal vendetta of mine to have taken you out before you won the #1 Contendership at Legacy. Well no, no it wasn't, I was just doing business, just like tonight after I drop you with another Scorpion Deathdrop and then lock in the Deathlock you'll be just another victim to the Stinger. So get ready Bill, cause it's SHOWTIME IN CHICAGO!!!!

Y'see Booker, tonight I'm going to put you through utter hell, you will be so banged up after tonight's match I guarentee you won't even make it to the Bash at the Beach. Take a look at what just happened to Sting, that will be you Booker, layed out, passed out, sprawled out left in the middle of the ring. You don't deserve to be WCW World Champ as the most deserving person on the roster should be the most dominant person on the roster, that being me. Booker, tonight that World Heavyweight Championship, is coming back to where it belongs.

Winner and STILL World Heavyweight Champion: Booker T in 28:10 B+

- Guess these two were just lacking a little bit of something.

 

Tony: And how about that? Booker T defending his World Heavyweight Championship in tremendous style.

Hulk: I'd definitely call this a match-of-the-year candidate.

Tony: Oh and I don't think Steiner's too happy with the result...

While Booker T is celebrating with his World Heavyweight Championship he has his back turned to Scott Steiner who slips into the ring behind him. While Booker doesn't notice what's going on, Steiner locks him into a full-nelson and then slams the champ into the ground. Steiner looks as if he's about to lock in the Steiner Recliner that is until...

Nash and Michaels then help Booker up as he then pats his two friends on the shoulder. Michaels then stares at Nash while Nash stares back at Michaels, Michaels then quickly turns his back towards Booker. And then plants him right in the chin with a Heartbreaker! The Allstate Arena is completely confused as boos then erupt out as the ring quickly becomes a junkyard full of random debris from the fans. Michaels orders a ringside attendant to give him a microphone.

 

HBK: Three words for you Champ, Trust...No one.

 

Michaels and Nash then flee up the ramp dodging the flying projectiles as the screen turns to black.

On Bravo!

Scheduled to be held in Kansas City, MO

 

The Great American Bash left many WCW fans with many questions last night. Questions such as 'why would Shawn Michaels turn on his friend Booker T after winning the US Championship?' Or 'why did Goldberg attack Sting after their match', well WCW promises to have both of those questions answered tonight as Goldberg and Shawn Michaels will explain their actions. Speaking of action, we've got four big matches on Nitro tonight, including Shawn Michaels teaming with Scott Steiner to take on World Champ Booker T and his choice of a partner, none-other than Diamond Dallas Page! The #1 Contendership to the WCW Tag Team Titles will be on the line as well, as KroniK and Totally Buff will face each other in a WCW Legacy rematch. Both of these teams are looking for a fresh start and help get the momentum back on their side, perhaps long enough to win the Tag Team Titles at the Bash at the Beach. WCW's resident monster Toro will be in action as well, taking on the victorious WCW Cruiserweight Champion Shane Helms in action. Shawn Stasiak is also scheduled to be on the card taking on Hugh Morris. All of this and much more on Monday Night Nitro! Only on Bravo at 10PM EST/9PM CST!

 

Hugh Morris v Shawn Stasiak

 

http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/HughMorris.jpg v http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/ShawnStasiak.jpg

 

Shawn Stasiak is set to make his in-ring debut in the rebirth of WCW, taking on one of WCW's finest Hugh Morris. Morris has been looking to get back to his winning ways while Stasiak is looking for his first in awhile. With each of these trying to start their returns to WCW with a victory, which one of these two will prevail? Tune in to Nitro to find out!

 

#1 Contendership to WCW Tag Team Titles

Totally Buff v KroniK

 

http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/LexLuger.jpghttp://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/BuffBagwell.jpg v http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/BrianAdams.jpghttp://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/BryanClark.jpg

 

The #1 Contendership to the WCW Tag Team Titles is on the line tonight, with Totally Buff taking on KroniK. Both of these teams lost their matches last night, KroniK to the Tag Team Champs while Totally Buff lost their handicap match against Toro. Both of these teams know what's on the line and will be fighting tooth and nail in order to gain their #1 contendership. Though Totally Buff might not be on the same page as evidenced last night when Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger seemed to have gotten into a bit of a war of words after their lost. Did Totally Buff reconcile after last night? And if so, can they pull out a victory against the previous #1 Contenders and become #1 Contenders themselves? Watch Nitro tonight on Bravo.

 

Shane Helms v Toro

 

http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/ShaneHelms.jpg v http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/Toro.jpg

 

WCW Cruiserweight Champion Shane Helms finds himself in action off the heels of his title defense at the Great American Bash. But he may have some problems as he's facing the man who hasn't lost since his debut in WCW, that man being Toro. Helms has shown before that he has the skill to hold his own with opponents bigger then him, but is Toro too much to handle? Toro is looking forward to mowing down more and more opponents before he gets what he wants, Jim Mitchell said, a World Heavyweight Championship Title Shot. If Toro wins, consider him a step closer to his goal. Though if Helms wins against this monster, he might just jump even further on his road to stardom in the WCW.

 

Booker T & Diamond Dallas Page v Shawn Michaels & Scott Steiner

 

http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/BookerT.jpghttp://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/DiamondDallasPage.jpg v http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/ShawnMichaels.jpghttp://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/ScottSteiner.jpg

 

It was the kick heard all around the world. Shawn Michaels shocked wrestling fans across the globe after he nailed World Heavyweight Champion Booker T in the jaw with a Heartbreaker Kick after seeming to have driven Scott Steiner off from attacking Booker. Michaels, who is expected to answer the question that everyone wants to know earlier in the night, is going to face the man he kicked the previous night. And his partner Scott Steiner is looking for retribution as well, having lost to Booker the previous night, failing to regain the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Booker T has been quoted as being 'as mad as a bull' last night after the Great American Bash went off the air, and will be looking to punish Michaels & Steiner as hard as he can in this tag match. And he picked quite the partner as well, Diamond Dallas Page, a former WCW Champion himself. In one what sure looks to be a promising main event, who will win? The champion looking for revenge or the former fan-favorite who is looking for more gold? Tune in to Nitro to find out.

Hugh Morris v Shawn Stasiak

Shawn Stasiak was one of my favorite young superstars in the dying days of WCW so I hope gets a push and his first win in the diary against Hugh Morris can be the starting point

 

Totally Buffv KroniK - #1 Contendership to Tag Team Titles

The Natural Born THrillers have picked up two decisive wins over Kronik for the title so it really doesn't seem like they should get another title match. Plus Totally Buff has not won a match yet and they defiantly need one and I believe this will be it. Also the Bagwell and Luger thing can be extended way longer than this possibly if they get the title match and lose then Bagwell can go crazy

 

Shane Helms v Toro

While I agree with others that Toro will win this match, I highly doubt that this will be a squash match. That wouldn’t really be good for the CW Division or Helms who is coming off of a good title defense, I expect Toro to dominate a lot of the match but Shane Helms will get a good amount of offence in.

 

Booker T & Diamond Dallas Page v Shawn Michaels & Scott Steiner

Booker T & DDP with the win setting up DDP vs HBK for the U.S title and a post match attack continuing the Steiner and Booker feud.

Hugh Morris v Shawn Stasiak

-I don't really care about either guy, but Stasiak has more "upside."

 

Totally Buff v KroniK - #1 Contendership to Tag Team Titles

-I call a draw of some kind, leading to a triple threat for the titles.

 

Shane Helms v Toro

-Toro wins, obviously. But I hope you keep Helms strong, and he turns in a respectable showing.

 

Booker T & Diamond Dallas Page v Shawn Michaels & Scott Steiner

-Like HBK said; Booker can't trust anybody. I could easily see DDP turning on his partner in an effort to thrust himself into the title picture.

Hugh Morris v Shawn Stasiak

Seeing as how you said you were using Shawn more on tv, it only makes sense

Totally Buff v KroniK - #1 Contendership to Tag Team Titles

I see Totally Buff pulling this one out. When tag teams break they still get the abnormal win occasionally.

Shane Helms v Toro

Champ VS Monster. Tie goes to Monster. Sorry, gotta say Toro is the winner. Can't have him losing to a cruiser.

Booker T & Diamond Dallas Page v Shawn Michaels & Scott Steiner

Shawn has the upper hand, so it only makes sense that he loses. But WCW never really made sense lol. I'll stick with Shawn for now.

Tony: Hello wrestling fans and welcome to Monday Night Nitro, one day removed from the Great American Bash.

Hulk: Great to be back in Kansas City Tony, after the action from last night I think we've seen pretty much everything now.

Tony: Definitely partner, last night in a truly appaling move, Shawn Michaels seemed to help his 'friend' Booker T out by saving him from Scott Steiner; only to turn on him and plant him right in the chin with a Heartbreaker Kick,

Hulk: Definitely a low move by Michaels, wonder what his motive was...

Tony: Well I guarentee that we'll find out tonight, speak of the devil, here comes that rat now.

The new United States Champion Shawn Michaels comes strutting down to the ring alongside his friend/manager Kevin Nash. Michaels flaunts his title to the jeering fans at ringside as he then gets in the ring and sets off his pyro. He then raises a microphone in his hand to his mouth but then drops his hand, soaking in the boos some more, Michaels then finally speaks.

 

HBK: What is this? Is this how WCW treats their new United States Champion?! I'm quite shocked actually, no, in fact I'm appaled that you all lack the respect to celebrate my accomplishment along with me.

 

*A 'You Screwed Booker' chant erupts*

 

HBK: I screwed Booker T? I screwed Booker T last night? No, Booker T screwed himself. In this business, there is only a select group of people that you can surround yourself with, people that you know will have your back. Booker, having his head in the clouds from being World Champ, was gullible enough to trust me, a man who hasn't even been in WCW for a month, to have his back. And you see, me and Kev here hatched a plan to help get me to the World title picture. While Booker was under attack by Scott Steiner for the World Heavyweight Championship, we'd pretend to have his back, and then get him when he'd least expect it. Like last night, Booker staring up at me, thanking me for helping chase off Steiner as it seemed he'd attack him after the match, Booker you're a fool! Like I said last night, trust...no one...tonight, we've got a tag match with me and Steiner versus you and Diamond Dallas Page. Who knows what'll happen Book, will DDP turn on you and throw his name into the title picture? Or will he-

 

http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/WCW_legacy/BookerT.jpg

 

The fans explode with cheering as the World Heavyweight Champion comes out and gets in the ring, getting face to face with Michaels.

 

Booker: Michaels, you shut your damn mouth! I've known DDP for awhile now and we both want to shut your punk-ass up! Maybe it's because I haven't been in the business as long as you, but trust is a nice thing to have on your side in this business. And for you to pretend to be on my side for the past month and just throw that away with that Heartbreaker last night? That's a disgrace. Michaels...you're one of the dirtiest players in the game and I wouldn't hesitate to drop you to the mat, in fact after this tag match tonight...how's about me and you one-on-one next week, so I can beat your face in and break every bone in your BODY!

WCW Management Representative Ricky Steamboat then comes out and stands on the entrance ramp with a microphone.

 

Steamboat: I've got an even better idea Booker, seeing as how you both want to get your hands on eachother so bad, I've added a stipulation to tonight's tag-team match you two are scheduled to have. Booker T, if you win tonight's match, then you get the chance to take on Shawn Michaels next week in a 1-on-1 Steel Cage Match! Shawn, if you win tonight, then scheduled for the Bash at the Beach will be Shawn Michaels vs. Booker T - in a 'Winner Take All World Heavyweight/United States Championship' match!

- Morris gets the early advantage and seems to have the match under control for a minute.

- Stasiak then hits a cheap shot to the eyes and then goes on offense.

- Stasiak hits some big knees to Morris's head as he then hits a clothesline.

- Morris soon reverses out of a headlock as he then whips Shawn to the ropes.

- Stasiak then hits a big flying forearm on the rebound.

- Stasiak goes for the pin, 1...2..Kick Out!

- Stasiak then taunts the fans who mock him for his failed pin as he then waits for Morris to stand...

- Stasiak then picks Hugh up and drives him straight to the mat with an Inverted DDT!

- Cover, 1...2...3!

 

Winner: Shawn Stasiak in 5:37 C+

- Quite possibly thinking of developing Stasiak some more, or I could just keep him on the midcard for now. Still don't know what to do with Morris.

 

 

Tony: And so Shawn Stasiak makes a big debut in WCW!

Hulk: Yup, he was powerful before WCW folded, but in the rebirth of WCW, he looks even more powerful then before.

Tony: And Stasiak grabbing a mic in the ring.

Stasiak holds his hand up, motioning to the crowd to hush up. He then raises the mic to his mouth.

 

Stasiak: Kansas City is the luckiest city in the world. For they have just witnessed the first victory of Shawn Stasiak in the new WCW! For all of you fans and the other wrestlers in the back, take notice. For you have all just witnessed 'The Future' in action!

- Yikes.

Tony: Well that's certainly a bold statement from Stasiak.

Hulk: Like I wasn't?

While Sting was celebrating for the fans, Goldberg then rushes back into the ring and then turns Sting around on the turnbuckles...Goldberg gets his rival onto his shoulders, JACKHAMMER! The fans boo intensely at the former fan-favorite as he then sets up in the corner while Sting starts to get to his feet, Goldberg then launches at him, SPEAR! Goldberg then bails out of the ring and heads back up the entrance ramp taking his time to yell at Sting from the ramp. Sting then gets up on his forearms and manages to make brief contact with Goldberg as he then slumps back to the mat unconcious.

Goldberg then comes down to the ring with some jeans and a leather jacket on, smirking all the way down the ramp. After yelling some abuse at some ringside fans, Goldberg then gets into the ring with a microphone.

 

Goldberg: So. You all seemed to have enjoyed Sting Scorpion Deathdropping me two weeks ago on Nitro, but it's a crime when I return the favor to Sting last night? You people are all biased scumbags who only like to play favorites, last night I attacked Sting to prove a point. To prove to him that I actually am the superior wrestler out of us both. Last night Sting merely squirmed away from me like the cowardly slug he is, and after escaping is when he hit me with another Scorpion Deathdrop and then pinned me. I had that match nearly won again! And yet Sting finds yet another way to steal the victory from me...Sting this isn't over yet, this is far from over!

The fans go crazy as the lights dim as Seek And Destroy then comes on. The lights then turn back on as only Goldberg is left in the ring.

 

Goldberg: *Chuckles* Sting we've been through this before, nothing you can do is going to stop me from destroying you!

 

As Goldberg exits the ring, the camera then pans up and reveals Sting staring at Goldberg from the rafters.

- I think Helms took a bit of a beating in this one, but at least I didn't have Toro dominate this one. This one really had the crowd into it, with them believing that Shane Helms could end Toro's winning streak.

 

Tony: And though he didn't win, Shane Helms puts up a valiant effort.

Hulk: Man Toro's on a streak, wonder who's going to stop him?

Tony: I think many of our fans are asking that same question as well. The real question is, when?

The fans quickly get up and cheer as Diamond Dallas Page comes out and stands on the entrance ramp.

 

DDP: Y'know something, you may own some victories over some of the weaker people on our roster Toro. But I don't think you can handle going up against one of the big boys.

Mitchell: Ha! That's a laugh Page, how can you consider yourself a big boy anymore? Your only match ever since WCW came back was in a 10-Man Battle Royal and you couldn't even win that!

DDP: That was just an off night for me, and to prove it was just an off-night. I'm challenging your client to a match at the Bash at the Beach. And since I can guarentee you that I will leave Miami with my arm raised in victory, if i lose at the Bash, then I will quit WCW and retire from this business!

Mitchell: Ha ha ha! I'm going to make sure you'll eat your words Page, consider your challenge accepted!

Tony: Well we've just found a new challenger for Toro at the Bash at the Beach, and it's Diamond Dallas Page!

Hulk: Well I wouldn't really call him a challenger Schiavone, I'd more or less call him food.

Tony: Well "food" better pick up a victory at the Bash at the Beach, or else he'll be forced to retire from professional wrestling!

A shot is then backstage where Scott Steiner enters United States Champion Shawn Michaels & Kevin Nash's locker room.

 

Steiner: Hey Kev, hey Shawn.

Michaels: Hey Steiner, what's up?

Steiner: Listen, I know we've got that tag-team matchup coming up soon, and let me just tell you something, I support you 100% on your quest to become World Heavyweight Champion.

Michaels: Cool, thanks for that.

Steiner: Listen, I know Booker's pretty pissed that you kicked him last night, and let me tell you something, he's probably going to come charging at you like a bull tonight.

Michaels: Yeah, I kinda figured that.

Steiner: Well I listened to your speech earlier about not trusting anyone, but Booker had a point, you need to surround yourself with people in order to stay ahead. And so tonight, I've got your back.

Michaels: Cool, see you out there Steiner.

 

*Steiner then leaves.*

 

*Michaels then leans over to Nash.*

 

Michaels: Watch him, make sure he doesn't try anything.

Winners: Shawn Michaels & Scott Steiner in 23:23 B+

- Another top-notch quality matchup from my main eventers, was debating with myself for awhile for who to get the win, and which outcome to choose.

 

Tony: Well I guess that settles it, for both the World Heavyweight Championship and the United States Championship at Bash at the Beach.

Hulk: That's going to be one great match Schiavone.

Tony: It definitely will be Hogan, but that snake Shawn Michaels cheated his way to victory. Kicking Booker T when he wasn't the legal man.

Hulk: Well what do you expect from Michaels now Tony? He's hellbent on becoming World Heavyweight Champion, he'll do whatever it takes to prove his case why he should be champion.

Tony: Well he's still a cheat in my mind, and that's going to do it for us here at Monday Night Nitro. Tony Schiavone signing off for myself and Hulk Hogan, good night folks!

And secondly, thanks to iMac and TFC for nominating Phoenix From The Ashes for Rookie Diary of the Month.

You deserve it. Like I said in the nominations thread, I think you're off to a really promising start, and I hope you stick around for awhile, because I'd like to see how things develop over the long haul. I still can't get over that you've given a gimmick to Johnny the Bull that I actually like and am interested in. The real Johnny the Bull only wishes he could say the same!

 

Glad to see Helms got some offense in on Toro, and looked good even in defeat. I could see Helms becoming a real breakout guy for you down the line.

 

OK, there's probably more I could say, but I really should close my browser and finish typing up my next show. Anyhow, KUTGW!
