main event heel Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 http://i32.tinypic.com/2z407ww.jpg 1st Week of January 2001 In the preliminary stages of the new millenium, the dust is starting to settle after a majority of the 90s saw the most gruesome corporate war of the entire decade: WWF vs WCW. What started out as an uneven fight between WWF and WCW (with WCW winning both the war and the battle), the "TABLES" quickly turned and left the WCW on the receiving end of a relentless attack from the WWF and their new brash and "in your face" product. To become a legit competitor again, WCW resorted to stealing from the WWF what many considered to be the mastermind behind WWF's late 90s success: Vince Russo. Unfortunately, that proved to be dire mistake. The greats that helped turn WCW into a global competitor are now gone, and so are the days of a respectable product. Simply put, WCW is dying. There isn't much money left, and there have been rumors backstage of WCW potentially being put up for sale. Who is to blame? Greedy wrestlers hungry for creative control? Vince Russo? WWF's attitude era? The sole answer is uncertain. One thing is for certain, WCW isn't going to go down without a fight. All of the crap Vince Russo and Bischoff managed to put on tv is about to fixed in an effort to save WCW. Will WCW head into the new millenium with a new identity and provide competition for the WWF or will they fade into wrestling oblivion as the company that once was? It's up to me to deterimine this.

BHK1978 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 (Guys, this is my first shot at a diary, so I hope this goes well. Any ideas as to who I should push and sign are welcomed) Well you can never go wrong with Sting but that is a given. Um as far as who you should sign maybe look at people who are big now but have not yet made it big in your game like Christopher Daniels, AJ Styles, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the diary tip thread for lotsa help there in case you haven't yet. I prefer staying true to WCW in doing a better job with the stars you still have and slowly grow and bring in new ones. Remember WCW at that time was bleeding money so it is more a case of maximizing what is there and cleaning up then bringing in new/better guys.

tristram Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I don't see the WCW roster as being necessarily... poor at that time. I think 2001 at that stage they're fighting the perils of Hoganitis and a few other issues from the late 90s, but they've probably done a good job in introducing some new talents, and to be fair, they had done the MIA, Filthy Animals, Revolution storyline over the past 18 months which IMO gave a leg up to quite a few under carders who deserved better. I just think the matches were in essence overbooked and hence a farce, storylines lacked conviction and lacked the ability to be followed through, and yes, like most rosters there are some dubious names. I don't think the Champion list is that bad, either. I even don't disagree with the InSiders. The fact is the Scott Hall 'will he-won't he' situation was still quite hot, and Page, well he is DDP ... great. In your undercard you've got some really talented blokes. IMO Mike Awesome, Chris Kanyon, Lance Storm, Sean O'Haire, Shane Douglas, even guys like Mike Sanders, Rey Mysterio and Chuck Palumbo at this stage have futures, its a matter of how you book them. IMO Mike Awesome was an instant success when he came in as the career killer, and then got a series of dreaded gimmicks including that 70s guy and the Fat Chick Thriller, but its funny as bad as those gimmicks were he kinda made them work. Kanyon is off the back of 'Diamond Dallas' Kanyon and was doing some excellent stuff around now. IMO its an intensely interesting time so I look forward to seeing what you do with it. I wouldn't discard the roster, maybe it lacks one or two 'names' but it is competitive and you can make interesting stories with what you have at your disposal.

BHK1978 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Even guys like Mike Sanders, Rey Mysterio and Chuck Palumbo at this stage have futures, its a matter of how you book them. A little off topic but yes I agree about Mike Sanders, he was awsome at that time. To bad he never really did anything of note after WCW. Just a quick question is Ric Flair retired in the your game? The only reason why I ask is he you have him listed as an Authority Figure on your roster. If he still has decent stats I would cheat and bring him back to a full time wrestler as he and Sting are the two wrestlers that I see as the faces of WCW. Let Larry Zbysko be the Authority Figure as he did a good job in that role while he was in TNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristram Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Didn't Mike Sanders do stand up comedy for a while? I think Flair would have to be a slow build to be the main man again, purely because he really was a wrestler who had been so poorly used that at that point he really has no momentum whatsoever. Either way, I look forward to seeing this develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tristram Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 1st round of WCW Television Title Tournament: Billy Kidman vs Disco Inferno - maybe an upset, but I loooveeeeeed Disco Inferno. Disco fever, disco fever, disco fever, yeah yeah yeah. I know in 2001 he was Disqo, but I hope by the naming you're returning him to the Disco Inferno that was uber-cool. WCW Hardcore Title: David Flair vs Terry Funk © - David... I don't know, never really saw it in him. 1st round of WCW Television Title Tournament: Rey Mysterio vs Alex Wright - in one way, I'd love it to be the Berlyn version of Alex Wright, but either way Rey is the shizzle Mike Awesome vs Glacier - pullleaaase let Awesome destroy Glacier Lash Leroux vs Chavo Guererro Jr Perfect Event vs Kronik - two top tag teams, at the time the tag scene was still quite good Goldberg vs Sting vs Jeff Jarrett to decide #1 Contender for the WCW World Heavyweight Title - I suppose the fact its three way could keep Goldberg's rep in tact if he lost as long as he isn't pinned?

He says that he wants to stay on top as a tag team champion with Nash for however long it takes but if for some reason they lose the titles, he wants to pursue the WCW World Heavyweight title again. Nash proceeds to explain to DDP that the Insiders are putting money in his bank account and food on his table and ending the team would be detrimental (bad) for him financially at his age. DDP accuses of him of being selfish and questions whether he even wants to wait until they lose the titles to end their team. Nash is angry, and complains about being given no warning of this decision, but DDP just leaves. Kevin Nash attacks Diamond Dallas Page backstage, and leaves him down and out Nash then removes his tag team belt and lays it on DDP's face and gives him a "Suck It" crotch chop.

After a brief argument between Goldberg and Jarrett, Sting calmly walks in and disagrees with both Goldberg and Jarrett, and says that HE is the true #1 contender. Sting, Goldberg and of course Jeff Jarrett all trying to talk him into giving them a title shot. Flair finally decides that he's heard enough, and that as they can't all have a title shot, they'll face each other in a triangle match to win the right to a title shot.

He sits at the table to help Hudson, Schiovane, and Madden call the match, characteristically without a shirt on and sunglasses on in doors, of course. Laughter ensued as Scott Steiner sold himself as the best wrestler in the history of human civilization, and verbally crushed all three opponents in the ring on the mic. Goldberg vs Sting vs Jeff Jarrett.The match suffered because there was not enough selling shown. Unfortunately, this match had to contend with a restless crowd. This match lifted the crowd. Sting is improving in Rumble skills. Sting is improving in Performance skills. Goldberg drew with Sting and Jeff Jarrett in 12:00 when the time limit expired. After the match, Jeff Jarrett rolls under the ropes to the outside clearly fatigued as Sting and Goldberg both remain in the ring on the ground also showing signs of fatigue. Scott Steiner stands up from the commentator's table and raises the WCW World Heavyweight Title in the air while Goldberg, Sting, and Jarrett look at him with determined looks on their faces.

main event heel Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 WCW Thunder Preview Commercial: WCW Thunder looks to further extend any and every piece of animosity that will result from the controversial episode of WCW Monday Nitro a few days ago. In action, we will see the two of the final first round match ups in the WCW Television Title Tournament. Lance Storm will take on Norman Smiley and Konnan will take on Elix Skipper. 4 men but only 2 of them can advance to the second stage of the tournament. While on the topic of the WCW TV Title, fresh off of early WCW Television Title Tournament exits (say that 3 times really fast), The Boogie Knights (Alex Wright and Disco Inferno) will team up to face the young high flyers, 3count: Shane Helms and Shannon More to hopefully get a much needed taste of some victory. Plus, we will see The Franchise Shane Douglas taking on WCW vet Booker-T in a match that is is sure to rock the ring! In addition to those matches, we will see the United States Heavyweight Champion Hugh Morrus defending his title against a well deserving opponent, Buff Bagwell! And Speaking of belts, what will hapen to the WCW Tag Team Titles? With DDP throwing both of the belts in the middle of the ring after being attacked by his ex-parter Nash, he is a very angry man. DDP has been granted a match against Lex Luger to release some of that pent up aggression, until Nash resurfaces from wherever he is currently hiding. And to cap off the night, the main event will be WCW World Heavyweight Champion Scott Steiner teaming up with Jeff Jarrett to take on the team of Sting and Goldberg in a match that combines the WCW Champion and 3 men with a shared ambition: To be the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Despite gunning for Steiner's title, Jarrett and Steiner have something in common: a mutual hatred towards Goldberg and Sting, so them teaming up isn't as unusual as it may seem. With Goldberg, Jeff Jarrett and Sting being considered as #1 contenders, Ric Flair will be watching this match closely!. Tune in for this week's edition of WCW Thunder!

Hyde Hill Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Tag Team Match: 3 Count vs Boogie Knights Lance storm vs Norman Smiley Konnan vs Elix Skipper United States Title Match: Hugh Morrus © vs Buff Bagwell Booker - T vs Shane Douglas DDP vs Lex Luger Tag Team Match: 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett vs Sting and Goldberg Liked the first show but only typing out the notes is a novel way of doing things, maybe try with the matches what you are doing with the angles as those are good. Also telling which storylines advance may not be a good idea as you kinda give away what you are doing. Plus I liked the pictures in the center and names above the description better.

tristram Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Some surprising results there. I'll be interested to see where the surprising results build to storyline wise and who the end result of who gets the rub really is. Tag Team Match: 3 Count vs Boogie Knights - Will Tank Abbott come on down and boogie with 3 Count? Man, I loved 3 Count, but ... this is Alex Wright and Disco Inferno and frankly they are legends among groovers. Lance storm vs Norman Smiley - Storm to survive a SMBU, Big Wiggle, and incessant screaming. Smiley was wicked. Konnan vs Elix Skipper - A good win for Canada United States Title Match: Hugh Morrus © vs Buff Bagwell - I like Hugh Morrus, but I like General E Rection better.. He was heaps good back then Booker - T vs Shane Douglas DDP vs Lex Luger Tag Team Match: 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett vs Sting and Goldberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
