Good opening show - knew there'd be interference although bringing in an almost full strength nWo at this stage is a nice spin.

 

To the opening Thursday Nitro we progress:

 

Buff Bagwell vs. Billy Kidman

Tough one to call but the F had plans for Bagwell before he made a fool of himself backstage at this time.

 

Sean O'Haire vs. Bryan Clark

Stronger Tag champ has to look strong against the weaker Kronik member. It's booking 101! I expect a reverse re-match next week and a reversed result to go with it!

 

Kanyon vs. Diamond Dallas Page

DDP still has a ton of potential as a top carder for the new look WCW but Kanyon won't disgrace himself here either. Page to shade it.

 

WCW World Heavyweight Title Match: Booker T defends vs. A Wrestler of Shane McMahon's Choosing

Just as the RAW main event was disrupted by the nWo, so too will the opening Nitro if only to 'prove' that they are loyal only to themselves. A no contest.

 

Mystery Opponent Guess (No extra point. Just for fun): The Big Show - at the time Show was touted as being a 'close personal friend' of Shane-O would make sense that Show would be a marquee first signing for the young McMahon and he does have a WCW & nWo history at least - assuming you've not signed any other big name assets of WCW's past that is!

 

Fan Sign: Nitro will give RAW the Smackdown!

Pretty much everything here is what I was going to say and the bits that I had different, seem much more logical when Ritchardo says it...mark me down for these picks too! :D

Awesome show opener! Loving this so far.

 

Buff Bagwell vs. Billy Kidman

Though I'm a big Kidman mark....hope he gets a nice push down the line.

 

Sean O'Haire vs. Bryan Clark

Wild Guess.

 

Kanyon vs. Diamond Dallas Page

Love both these guys personally, but DDP was WcW's iron workhorse. For some reason...I gotta feeling you'll use him at least a tad-bit better than Vince did at this time :D

First of all, just as there was seemingly not a WCW presence on WWF Raw is War, there is not planned to be a WWF presence on the very first WCW Thursday Nitro according to our sources. Could Triple H or Steve Austin show up on WCW Thursday Nitro? Anything can happen.

 

Another rumour that has been spread is that the special opponent for Booker T is a former WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Is that true? Only one way to find out: watch WCW Thursday Nitro this Thursday night on UPN.

 

A lot of high-powered names have been thrown around that may or may not show up on WCW Thursday Nitro. Names like Curt Hennig, Rob Van Dam and Bill Goldberg have been thrown around. However, none of these names have been confirmed as showing up on Nitro.

 

On the WWF side of things, The Undertaker is said to have been really upset over being attacked by the nWo last week and even more upset that his brother Kane did not show up in his defense. More of this is to come on WWF Raw is War.

 

Steve Austin is said to be happy that he retained his WWF World Heavyweight title belt but also upset over being attacked by the nWo and not saved by his partner Triple H. Will these two teams be coming to a head on Raw is War? Only one way to find out. Tune in to WWF Raw is War.

Awesome show opener! Loving this so far.

 

I am glad you enjoyed the show opener. I am actually having even more fun with the WCW side than the WWF side right now. Expect some interesting developments as we head toward the first WCW Thursday Nitro.

 

Great first show mate, I'm really glad you decided to go with 2001. Won't be able to predict as I'm currently on my phone, but once I'm at a usable computer, I'll be on this like White on Rice :D

 

I am glad I decided to go 2001 as well. It seems like there are a lot of different ways I can go with this. Looking forward to your predictions, my friend. Planning on getting out cards every Monday.

Buff Bagwell vs. Billy Kidman

I think Buff will make a pretty fair US title contender.

 

Sean O'Haire vs. Bryan Clark

O'Haire needs a solid run here. He will be the future of WCW.

 

Kanyon vs. Diamond Dallas Page

Kanyon could be a solid next contender for the World title. Going over DDP here will put him right into that contention.

 

WCW World Heavyweight Title Match: Booker T defends vs. A Wrestler of Shane McMahon's Choosing

The Bookerman ain't gonna drop the belt so soon.... which is unfortunate given who I'm saying will be his opponent.

 

Mystery Opponent Guess (No extra point. Just for fun): Lance Storm. Storm needs to be here and get a major push.

WCW THURSDAY NITRO!

Thursday Week 1 May 2001

Location: Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, NC (South East)

Attendance: 19,989

Overall Rating: B-

TV Rating: 9.75

 

[We are here in Greensboro, North Carolina! WCW Country! The cameras pan around, taking in the crowd with the WCW t-shirts and signs being held in the air. Everyone is ready for the very first edition of WCW Thursday Nitro!

 

'HERE COMES THE MONEY!'

 

The crowd stands as the music begins to play and all the attention turns to the top of the entrance ramp...]

 

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/ShaneMcMahon.jpg

 

[...and Shane McMahon! Shane does a little dance at the top of the ramp and then walks down toward the ring, high fiving the fans. He points toward a sign reading: 'Nitro will give RAW the Smackdown!' The brand new owner of WCW is here to kick things off! Shane steps inside the ring and is presented with a microphone...]

 

Shane McMahon

"WCW fans, MAKE SOME NOISE!"

 

[...The crowd goes wild! This is Greensboro, this is WCW Country!...]

 

Shane McMahon

"First of all, I would like to take this time to welcome everyone to the very first edition of WCW Thursday Nitro on the UPN network. We've got a lot to look forward to this evening, including wrestlers like Booker T, Buff Bagwell, Diamond Dallas Page and Kanyon! As a matter of fact, later on tonight we are going to have a WCW World Heavyweight title match as Booker T faces a man of MY choosing. I have made my choice for that title match this evening. I went through a lot of candidates on the WCW roster and there is only one man who could step up on this very first edition of WCW Thursday Nitro and make that type of impact..."

 

[...'WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!'...

 

 

...OH....

 

 

...MY...

 

 

...WORD...

 

 

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/RicFlair.jpg

 

[...It's 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair! The crowd here in Greensboro goes absolutely wild! The fans are doing standing bows to one of the men who oozes WCW in his veins! Ric steps out and twirls around, wearing a custom made suit. He has a large smile on his face as he walks down the aisle. He slips inside the ring and comes face-to-face with Shane McMahon. Ric releases a 'Whooooo' right into the face of Shane McMahon, who laughs it off. Ric is handed a microphone...]

 

Ric Flair

"Greensboro, BY GAWD WHOOOOOOOO, North Carolina! Welcome to Horsemen country. Welcome to Ric Flair country."

 

[...The crowd goes wild with a bunch of 'Whooooo's' echoing out through the people in the stands...]

 

Ric Flair

"Shane McMahon, I've got just one question for you: what's causing all this? Whooooo! You are standing inside the ring with a man in a custom-made suit from head to toe. My shoes are worth more than your house up in Greenwich Connecticut. But I have come out here for one reason and one reason only: I've come out here to tell you just who it is that should be facing Booker T tonight for the WCW World Heavyweight title! Do you know who that is?"

 

Shane McMahon

"Enlighten me, Ric."

 

Ric Flair

"That man is a limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheeling, dealing son of a gun! That man has won more World titles than anyone in this industry. That man can have any woman he wants, Whooooooo, just like that! That man is the Nature Boy Ric Flair!"

 

[...The crowd goes wild! A main event of Ric Flair versus Booker T? Book it!...]

 

Shane McMahon

"Ric Flair versus Booker T? Who here in Greensboro, North Carolina wants to see Ric Flair challenge Booker T for the WCW World Heavyweight title?"

 

[...The crowd responds with a resounding yes!...]

 

Shane McMahon

"Then tonight, you have your match, Ric! Ric Flair versus Booker T for the WCW World Heavyweight title."

 

[...Ric smiles and releases a 'Whooooooo' as the music pumps back in. Ric gives a strut across the ring looking like the Ric Flair of old...]

Hugh Morrus vs. ???

 

[Hugh Morrus came out to a mediocre crowd reaction for the opening bout here on WCW Thursday Nitro. In the future, the question will be who wrestled in the very first WCW Thursday Nitro? The answer to one half of that question is Hugh Morrus. He enters the ring and we cut backstage to the front of a locker room where security is standing by. Some familiar music begins to pump through the arena. It couldn't be, could it? There's no way?...

 

 

...GOLDBERG!!!...

 

 

...GOLDBERG!!!...

 

 

...GOLDBERG!!!...]

 

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/Goldberg_alt.jpg

 

[...The crowd goes absolutely wild with Goldberg chants as Bill Goldberg walks from his locker room with security surrounding him! Goldberg steps out from the back and the chants grow deafening! Fireworks explode all around Goldberg and he walks right through them, breathing the smoke and fire! Goldberg walks right down to the ring and steps inside looking across toward Hugh Morrus. Morrus charges at Goldberg and Goldberg sidesteps him! Goldberg dominated this short bout, to no one's surprise. He took down Hugh Morrus with a big clothesline and a body slam! Goldberg brought Hugh Morrus down with a corner clothesline and then stepped back, waiting for Hugh Morrus to get to his feet -- SPEAR! Goldberg speared Hugh Morrus out of his boots! Goldberg makes the cover: 1 -- 2 -- 3! Goldberg raises up and raises one finger, signifying the first victory of the new WCW.]

 

Winner: Bill Goldberg (Via Pinfall @ 5:01)

Match Rating: C

[The crowd goes wild at the first match here on Nitro! What a way to start things as the Goldberg chants are deafening! The announcers remind everyone that tonight we are going to be seeing...]

[...Booker T defend his WCW World Heavyweight title against Ric Flair! What a matchup that should be for our main event!...]

 

[...Ric Flair is shown walking backstage toward his locker room, still wearing his suit from earlier on. From out of nowhere he gets caught with a sidekick! It's Booker T! Booker T stands over Flair and looks down at him before putting the boots to him...]

 

Booker T

"You want my title, sucka? I'm gonna put you out to pasture where you belong. Now can you dig that?"

 

[...Booker puts a few extra boots to Flair and then walks off to boos from the partial crowd.]

Buff Bagwell vs. Billy Kidman

 

[This was a decent matchup that the crowd was only slightly into. Buff came out flexing and talking about how he is the stuff. Billy Kidman came in and showed his high flying ability in the ring. He caught Buff with an Asai Moonsault outside the ring during the match. Inside the ring, the attention returned to Buff Bagwell. Buff took Kidman down with a Double Underhook DDT and made the cover: 1 -- 2 -- 3!]

 

Winner: Buff Bagwell (Via Pinfall @ 8:09)

Match Rating: C

 

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/ThursdayNitroBanner2.jpg

 

[The crowd booed the victory by Buff Bagwell as he is definitely not a crowd pleaser like Billy Kidman is. But earlier tonight...]

 

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/BookerT_alt.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/VS.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/RicFlair.jpg

 

[...Ric Flair asked for a World title match and was granted one by Shane McMahon. Then Booker T took it upon himself to attack the veteran Flair backstage...]

 

[...As we go to the current times, Ric Flair and Booker T are both backstage being held apart by a bunch of wrestlers and backstage staff! These two men are definitely not liking one another and that is upping the stakes for their match tonight.]

 

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/ThursdayNitroBanner2.jpg

 

[We head to another area backstage where an assault has already taken place...]

 

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/Kanyon.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/DiamondDallasPage.jpg

 

[...Kanyon is standing over Diamond Dallas Page! Page is bloodied and bruised as he lies on the floor. Kanyon mocks DDP with a Diamond Cutter symbol and then looks down at his opponent for later on tonight...]

 

Kanyon

"Who betta than Kanyon? Oh yeah, that's right, NOBODY!"

 

[...Kanyon gives an extra kick to the ribs and then walks off.]

Sean O'Haire vs. Bryan Clark

 

[The crowd really didn't seem to like this match as one half of the WCW World Tag Team Champions was in action against one half of KroniK. The crowd in particularly didn't care to see Sean O'Haire wrestle. O'Haire showed some athletic ability against the power of Bryan Clark in this back and forth match. Clark started getting the advantage near the 8 minute mark and he picked up O'Haire for a Power Bomb but Chuck Palumbo came in and cut the legs out from under him, causing the DQ!]

 

Winner: Bryan Clark (Via Disqualification @ 8:03)

Match Rating: D+

 

[...Palumbo put Clark down and Sean O'Haire went to the top turnbuckle -- Seanton Bomb! It connected! The crowd booed O'Haire and Palumbo and then cheered slightly when another man came running down to the ring...]

 

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/BryanAdams.jpg

 

[...It's Brian Adams! Adams hit the ring and Palumbo and O'Haire left quickly! KroniK will definitely be looking for revenge after this encounter! Bryan Clark walks away with the victory.]

 

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/ThursdayNitroBanner2.jpg

 

[The crowd was pleased with the victory for Clark and we headed backstage where Mean Gene is standing by...]

 

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/GeneOkerlund.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/Invasion/DiamondDallasPage.jpg

 

[...Take it away, Gene-o!...]

 

Gene Okerlund

"Hello ladies and gentlemen. I'm here at this time with Diamond Dallas Page. Dallas, we saw Kanyon attack you earlier tonight and in just a few minutes you have a match with him. Are you in any condition to wrestle?"

 

Diamond Dallas Page

"Am I in any condition to wrestle? No, Gene, I'm not. But I'm also not a quitter. I have never quit anything in my life and I never will. A lot of people told me at one time that I didn't have what it takes to be a professional wrestler. A lot of people keep telling me to quit. They say that I'm not Hulk Hogan, I'm not Goldberg, I'm not Ric Flair. Well, you know what? No, I'm not those men. Who am I? I'm D D P! Tonight, Kanyon, you asked me who betta than Kanyon? You're going to find out when you feel...the...BANG!"

 

[...DDP pushes off the wall and walks off as Gene directs things back to the ring.]

Kanyon vs. Diamond Dallas Page

 

[Our semi main event here on WCW Thursday Nitro. Kanyon came out to the ring first followed by the Self High Five known as Diamond Dallas Page. Page hit the ring where he was immediately accosted by Kanyon. The crowd booed as Kanyon took DDP down with a vertical suplex and then hit a legdrop on the fallen DDP. Kanyon made a cover: 1 -- 2 -- Kickout! The next few minutes were spent with Kanyon in complete control over DDP. Kanyon lifted DDP on his shoulders in a human torture rack. DDP refused to submit, refused to give up! Kanyon turned it into a neckbreaker! The crowd booed even louder and began a 'DDP' chant! Kanyon grabbed DDP and body slammed him near the corner and then climbed the turnbuckles -- Moonsault -- NOBODY HOME! DDP rolled out of the way of the Moonsault...]

 

[...DDP used the ropes to pull himself up. The crowd really got behind him at this point and he began peppering Kanyon with rights and lefts -- discus clothesline! He picked up Kanyon and sent him to the ropes, ducking his head -- kick to the head by Kanyon! Kanyon grabbed Page and lifted him up on his shoulders! He climbs to the second turnbuckle with Page on his shoulders and leaps -- DIAMOND CUTTER!! Page reversed the move with the Diamond Cutter out of nowhere! Page makes the cover: 1 -- 2 -- 3!]

 

Winner: Diamond Dallas Page (Via Pinfall @ 10:45)

WCW World Heavyweight Title Match

Booker T defends vs. Ric Flair

 

[The crowd is primed and on the edge of their seats because we have come down to time for the main event. As always, it is the challenger who comes out from the back first and Ric Flair is in all of his usual splendor. Ric walks out toward the ring and steps inside, giving a strut from one side to the other. He releases a 'Whooooo' that is echoed by the crowd. The crowd boos heavily as Booker T's music begins to play and the man who holds both the WCW World Heavyweight and the United States Heavyweight belts walks out with just the World title this time. Booker T plays to the crowd, absorbing in the boos as he walks down to the ring. He holds up the WCW World Heavyweight title belt to more boos and then hands it to referee Nick Patrick who will be officiating this bout. Nick Patrick raises the belt high for everyone to see. It is time for the main event of the very first WCW Thursday Nitro! Nick Patrick calls for the bell and it's match time...]

 

[...The two men meet in the center of the ring and begin jawwing at each other. Booker goes to lock up and Ric sidesteps him and then struts across the ring, releasing a 'Whooooo!' He turns back to Booker with that slick Ric smile on his face. Booker just looks frustrated at that. The two do lock up this time and Booker pushes Flair back into the corner. Ric raises his arms for a clean break but Booker T has other ideas -- forearm smash -- dodged! Booker's momentum brings him into the corner. Flair turns and begins lighting up Booker's chest with knife edge chops! Flair throws some punches to go along with the chops and Booker staggers out of the corner and then exits the ring to break the momentum. Ric smiles down at Booker and begins strutting across the ring like the Ric Flair of old! Is this 2001 or 1985?...]

 

[...Booker T came into the ring and raked the eyes of Ric Flair. This gave Booker the advantage, which he kept for the next several minutes. Booker tossed Flair to the ropes and dropped him with a side slam. Booker got up and played to the crowd, absorbing in the boos from the Greensboro crowd. A 'Flair' chant began through the crowd and Booker ignored it. He picked up Flair and twisted his arm -- hook kick! Booker bounced off the ropes and hit Flair with a jumping knee drop! Booker made a cover: 1 -- 2 -- Kickout! Booker pulled up Flair and sent him to the ropes -- Harlem Sidekick! The crowd booed as Booker played to them again. Booker made another cover:]

 

[...1...

 

 

...2...

 

 

...Shoulder Up!...]

 

 

[...Booker pulled Flair to his feet and kicked him in the gut. He bounced off the ropes -- Axe Kick -- NO! Flair moved out of the way. Booker lands on his feet though but Flair hits him with a chopblock! Flair goes right to work on the knee of Booker T, selling his ribs and back from the attacks by Booker T. Flair moves Booker to the center of the ring and bounces off the ropes -- jumping knee drop! Flair looks to the crowd, who are cheering and standing on their feet. He moves around Booker, grabbing the legs. He steps in -- inside cradle by Booker T...]

 

 

[...1...

 

 

...2...

 

 

...Kickout!...]

 

 

[...The crowd cheers the kickout by Flair! Flair pulls Booker to his feet and whips him to the turnbuckle -- reversed! Flair flips over the turnbuckles and lands on the apron! He comes running down to the turnbuckle and climbs up! Booker catches him -- body slam! But Booker grabs his knee in obvious pain! Flair grabs his back and ribs. Both men are laying on the mat with referee Nick Patrick checking on one and then the other. Both men manage to make it to their feet and Booker T takes control for another few minutes over Flair. Booker hooks Flair for the Book End -- Flair throws some elbows! Flair manages to break the hold -- kick to the knee! Booker falls to the mat and Flair grabs the legs -- Figure 4 Leglock! Flair locks in the Figure 4! Booker T shakes his head! He is not going to submit! But he is in the center of the ring!...]

 

[...Booker T shakes his head...]

 

 

[...Booker T tries to reverse the hold...]

 

 

[...Flair puts more pressure on Booker T!...]

 

 

[...Booker's shoulders go down on the mat...]

 

 

[...1...

 

 

...2...

 

 

...3!...]

 

Winner: Ric Flair (Via Pinfall @ 29:40; Ric Flair wins the WCW World Heavyweight title)

Match Rating: B

 

[...Oh WOW! Ric Flair has done it! Ric Flair is now a 10 time WCW World Heavyweight Champion! The hold is broken and Nick Patrick walks over, being handed the WCW World Heavyweight title belt. He walks over to Flair and hands him the belt, raising his arm! What a victory for the Nature Boy! We are in a time warp here! There is a disturbance in the crowd as Flair holds his ribs and raises the belt...]

[...It's the n W o! Eric Bischoff leads Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Scott Steiner into the ring! Flair tries to fight them off but the numbers overcome him! Nash pulls Ric Flair in -- JackKnife Power Bomb! Scott Steiner walks over to Booker T -- Steiner Recliner! Scott Hall has a microphone...]

 

Scott Hall

"Hey yo! I know that it's been a little while, chicos, but we here at the nWo have been taking a little survey. Did any of you come here tonight to see...wcw?"

 

[...The crowd cheers! That tells you everything, right?...]

 

Scott Hall

"Not bad, not bad. Now who came here tonight to see the nWo?"

 

[...Hall raises the microphone and he is nearly booed out of the building! Attacking Ric Flair here in Greensboro definitely doesn't get you the positive crowd response...]

 

Scott Hall

"That's what I thought. Looks like it's one more for the good guys."

 

[...Hall turns and hits Flair over the head with the microphone and the nWo once again stands tall within the center of the ring! Eric Bischoff reaches inside his leather jacket and removes a couple of cans of black spraypaint, handing them off to Scott Steiner and Kevin Nash. They begin spraypainting the nWo logo on the back of Ric Flair and Booker T to massive boos from the audience! WCW World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair and former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Booker T are down and painted as the show comes to a close.]

Last week on Raw is War, The Undertaker came within perhaps a few eyelashes of defeating WWF World Heavyweight Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin for the belt. However, that victory was thwarted by an attack by the nWo. Rumor has it that tonight the Undertaker will be right here in Auburn Hills, Michigan to speak on that attack last week.

 

The Undertaker wasn't the only man attacked last week by the nWo. Stone Cold Steve Austin was also laid out and he is said to be downright pissed off. But what he is said to be even angrier about is the fact that his partner Triple H didn't come out to help even out the odds. Could there already be friction in the middle of the Two Man Power Trip?

 

Last week on Raw, we saw Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho defeat Edge and Christian for the top contendership to the WWF World Tag Team titles. This week, those two men will take on the WWF World Tag Team Champions Steve Austin and Triple H for the belts. Can Austin and H stay on the same page long enough to defend the titles?

 

Also last week, Jeff Hardy challenged Jerry Lynn to a match for the WWF Light Heavyweight title. Jerry Lynn has answered that challenge and will be facing Jeff Hardy tonight on Raw is War.

 

Plus more right here on WWF Raw is War!

Albert vs. Raven

WWF Light Heavyweight Title Match: Jerry Lynn defends vs. Jeff Hardy

Edge and Christian vs. Kaientai

Edge and Christian had number one contender match last month so they are likely higher on ladders than their opponents (and I actually have no idea who they are:p)

 

WWF Women's Title Match: Chyna defends vs. Trish Stratus

Chyna retains for now

 

Albert vs. Raven

I only remember Raven as a jobber who got TV time once in a blue moon in WWE so I just don´t have much opinion about him. Most people here seems to like him though so I wouldn´t be all that surprised if he actually win this one.

 

WWF Light Heavyweight Title Match: Jerry Lynn defends vs. Jeff Hardy

First title defense (in this diary anyway) so champ retains.

 

Tables Match: Right To Censor vs. Dudley Boyz

Again I just have no idea who Right to Censor are but it Dubley Boyz and a table match so guess it doesn´t really matter:p

 

Grand Master Sexay vs. Kane

Squash

 

WWF World Tag Team Titles Match: The Two Man Power Trip defend vs. Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho

Austin and Triple H don´t need tag titles so they might as well drop those here.

I'll be back with predictions in a bit but I had to stop by and say that this was the first thing (after reading BFG results [to avoid accidentally reading something]) that I did when I got home. Fantastic show, very well put together. Goldberg's match against Morrus was clever, echoing Goldberg's first match. But best of all? Wooooo!

 

angeldelayette + Ric Flair = the most wheelin' dealin', kiss stealin', limousine ridin' promos...wooooo!....the world has ever seen. Just like that. Wooo! :D

Nice Nitro dude. Though I gotta be honest... not to sure how I feel personally about Flair taking the title off Booker. Though I will say, it was well written and I trust you as a writer :D

Thanks for the tips and comments, guys! It is always interesting to see and read who people think will or should win.

 

I'll be back with predictions in a bit but I had to stop by and say that this was the first thing (after reading BFG results [to avoid accidentally reading something]) that I did when I got home. Fantastic show, very well put together. Goldberg's match against Morrus was clever, echoing Goldberg's first match. But best of all? Wooooo!

 

angeldelayette + Ric Flair = the most wheelin' dealin', kiss stealin', limousine ridin' promos...wooooo!....the world has ever seen. Just like that. Wooo! :D

 

I am glad you enjoyed that WCW card! Even I will admit that I think it was better than my first card. Am glad to see that others picked up on the nod to Goldberg's first ever match and win. As for Ric Flair? Well, you know me when it comes to the Nature Boy! Whooooo

 

Nice Nitro dude. Though I gotta be honest... not to sure how I feel personally about Flair taking the title off Booker. Though I will say, it was well written and I trust you as a writer :D

 

I can understand the bit of wonder when it comes to my putting the belt on Ric Flair. One of the reasons that I did it was because I am not sure how much longer I have him in-game. My guess is that he will probably retire within the next year or so given his advanced age and all so giving him one last run at the top seemed the right thing to do. Not to mention my other plans which will be revealed later on. :D But I am glad you enjoyed it and glad that you have your faith in me as a writer. Hopefully, I won't let you down.

I think this is where an extra twist might be as everyone is expecting the Dudleys to win, so i'm going to go the opposite as think there will be more to this than a normal tables match
