WCW News and Notes

* Rumors are swirling that creative wants to bring WCW Break Out back by the first of the year as a third brand to serve as a type of middle ground between developmental and the A-Show's.

* Tyrone Evans has been signed to a developmental contract.

* Heath Miller has been signed to a developmental contract.

* Kipp Christianson has been signed to a developmental contract. Officials seem to be high on the giant, and, if he develops as planned, plan on bringing him into upcoming Muhammad Hassan storyline.

* Shinsuke Nakamura has been signed to a contract for the main roster. Officials seem intent on putting him with a re-debuting Daisuke Sekimoto in a tag team.

* Eddie Edwards has been signed to a developmental contract. Officials like Edwards potential as a potential focal point of the Cruiserweight division.

* Trish Stratus recently reached out to WCW about coming in on a 1 yr deal to help with the building of the Womens division. Ms. Stratus seems to be at discontent at the seemingly unraveling of her hard work in building the WWE's women division up to something credible.

I am interested in reading more about this once the backstory and roster is updated in the first few months of this thread.

 

I love WCW revivals and have been toying with the idea of a WCW revival alternate mod to my 2012 release. Just hard after so long justifying a revival for me. Makes more sense to leave it dead and not even try to go down that path.
