WCW: A modern re-birth, to shock the wrestling world.


Recommended Posts

I just realised I messed up when copying my results template. This week's Nitro got a B-, not a B. I edited the post accordingly.

 

Also, since I didn't post an update yesterday, I'm doing two today. Next one'll be up in a few hours, so get your picks in if you wanna. Also working on the Spring Stampede promo vid. Does anyone watch these? They take a few hours to make so I hope someone's watching them!

And Txyank beat me to it, he's right. Post show matches always suck when it comes to grades.

 

Don't use them to form opinions like that.

Something sketchy involving Hennigan.

No real reason.

 

Jay Lethal vs Super Crazy

Never liked Super Crazy.

 

Juventud Guerrera vs Koji Kanemoto vs Low Ki

Most potential of these.

 

Petey Williams, Teddy Hart and Harry Smith vs Alex Shelley, Colt Cabana and Roderick Strong

I don't know why I'm picking this, maybe a DQ.

 

Rhino and Scott Steiner vs Shelton Benjamin and Booker T

Champs for the win! Some sort of Batista involvement.

Nitro kicks off with #1 contender to the WCW title, Kevin Steen standing in the ring with a mic. Steen says he's sick of not being thought of as a threat in this company. He says he hasn't fought his way to two title shots by just being lucky and promises that Booker T will take him seriously by Spring Stampede. (B)

Booker T's music hits and he comes to the ramp with a mic in-hand. Booker says he'll take Steen seriously when he gives him a reasion to take him seriously, and that if he wants his shot at Spring Stampede; it's on. Booker tells him next week, they sign the contract, before his music hits again and Nitro heads to commercial. (B+)

Backstage, Bill Goldberg finds Scott Hall by himself and approaches him. Goldberg asks Hall to settle Kevin Nash down, as Goldberg needs to protect his young talent.

Juventud Guerrera vs Koji Kanemoto vs Low Ki

 

Koji Kanemoto defeats Juventud Guerrera and Low Ki. Kanemoto gets the pinfall in a surprising victory after rolling up a distracted Juvi while Low Ki fails to make the break-up in time.

Backstage, Team Canada prepare for their upcoming six-man tag match in their dressing room. Roddy Piper leads the hype-up by screaming motivation at his proteges. The team put their hands in the middle, and on three, yell "Canada!" before walking to the ring for their match. (C-)

Hennigan pats Helms on the shoulder and says "great job" before attempting to walk away. Helms stops Hennigan and asks when he's getting "his shot". Hennigan tells him to just wait, and the two walk away. (B-)

After the six-man tag match, while Team Canada and their opponents brawl, Kevin Nash runs through the crowd to attack Roderick Strong.

(B-)

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/ScottSteiner2.jpg

 

In the back, Scott Steiner is being interviewed. He says Batista is only a stepping stone on his path to a re-match with Booker T and his World title. He says the first stepping stone is tonight's main event, and he promises that he and Rhino will stand tall at the end of the night. He smacks the mic away and walks off. (B+)

Rhino and Scott Steiner vs Shelton Benjamin and Booker T

 

Booker T and Shelton Benjamin defeat Scott Steiner and Rhino. Near the end of the match, Kevin Steen runs to the ring during a ref bump, after Booker T has Rhino out cold with a scissor kick, and attacks Booker from behind. Steiner eventually joins in and the two stomp on Booker, until Batista runs down to break it up. Batista hits a Spinebuster on Steen, and eventually hits the Batista Bomb on Steiner, which allows the legal man, Shelton Benjamin, to get the pinfall for the victory. (C+)

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/ScottSteiner2.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Kevin_Steen.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Booker_T3.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Dave_Batista.jpg

 

Kevin Steen eventually gets up, only to eat a Batista Bomb of his own, while Scott Steiner gets up and receives a Scissor Kick from Booker. Booker and Batista back up with their arms in the air until they bump into each other. Batista stares Batista down and lifts his arm in a taunting celebration. Booker leans down, grabs his World title and lifts it up in celebration as well. Nitro ends as Booker T and Batista stare down. (B+)

Wrestling Observer Newsletter

by Dave Meltzer

 

Week 4 of March, 2013

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/DaveMeltzer.jpg

 

 

Highlights:

 

 

- WCW is said to be very unhappy with the in-ring portion of last week's Nitro. In a speech after the show, a few midcard workers such as Super Crazy, Juventud Guerrera and La Parka were called out for not making the most of the opportunity they've been given. WCW feels they've devoted a large chunk of their show to the mid/undercard and the show after they pull in their best rating yet, many of those undercard workers dropped the ball on them.

 

- WCW is said to be stacking next week's Nitro to make sure the momentum keeps flowing the right way for them.

 

- WWE Raw bumped up a ratings point to 2.6 this week, while WCW Nitro jumped up one themselves, to 1.3. TNA Impact stood still at 1.2, which marks the first time WCW has beaten TNA in the ratings. WCW, although not happy with the matches on the show, is very pleased with the rating.

 

- Kevin Steen is starting to show signs of getting over in WCW after a couple months in the company. Viewership was at it's highest on Monday during his segments with Booker T. The company may pull the trigger on him some time this year.

 

- Word is WCW is looking to bring a former popular WWE worker to manage Rhino. It is expected this manager will explain Rhino's attack next week but no word yet on who it is.

2 quick questions:

 

1: what mod are you using?

 

2: how did you set your ratings? How much is worth a unit for ppv and tv? Cause you seem to be really simulating the nielsen ratings well and i would like to set my ratings that way. Can you share how you set your values for tv and ppv, please'

 

I'm using Cpt. Charisma’s January 2013 Real World.

 

About the ratings, I actually didn't adjust them in-game. I took WWE's first rating from the game and their first rating of 2013 in real life, and divided the in-game rating by the real-life rating. Then, using the number I get, I divide all future results by that number, round off to the nearest decimal, and there's my rating! (Yes, I am a nerd.)

 

e: And I do this for TNA, WWE and WCW, obviously. So although WWE gets like, 10-12 area in ratings in the game, and WCW gets 5-7 area, I scale it down manually to be more realistic.

That's actually very cool. Do you know how many viewers does a nielsen rating point represents in the real world?

Apparently it doesn't work that way; A show's rating is based on the percentage of household TV's tuned in during any given time during the show.

Booker T comes out with his WCW World Heavyweight Title to a big ovation. Upon getting in the ring, Booker is all business, and doesn't say a word before signing the contract. Steen then signs the contract and hands it to his lawyer to put into his briefcase for safekeeping before getting into a staredown with Booker T in the center of the ring. With no provocation, Kevin Steen's lawyer takes his metal briefcase and hits Booker T from behind with it. He and Steen begin to stomp Booker and toss him out of the ring before he grabs a mic. Steen tells Booker that the man isn't his lawyer, and that the contract wasn't for a regular match at Spring Stampede, it was for a street fight!

Wrestling Observer Newsletter

by Dave Meltzer

 

Week 1 of April, 2013

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/DaveMeltzer.jpg

 

 

Highlights:

 

 

- WCW is said to be upset with how this week's show went over. Although it pulled in another good rating, a few segments brought the overall mood of the show down and Steiner/Batista didn't go over as well as the company had hoped.

 

- WWE Raw and WCW Nitro both dropped one point each to 2.5 and 1.2 respectively, while TNA Impact stayed at 1.2.

 

- WCW's financials for March have come out, and the company lost 150k on the month. This is down significantly from a 2.5 million dollar loss in January and a 1 million dollar loss in February. The company is poised to turn a profit for the first time in April.

 

- Cody Rhodes and Richie Steamboat have extended their contracts with WWE, while Hulk Hogan and Mark Jindrak have extended their contracts with WCW.

 

- WWE WrestleMania happened this weekened, and the show ended up being their worst critically received pay-per-view of the year for the company so far. The Rock failed to appear in a match, leading many to believe he was injured, which obviously hurt the buyrate.

 

- WCW Spring Stampede's announced card so far is Kevin Steen vs Booker T for the WCW World Title, Carly Colon and Chavo Guerrero vs The American Wolves for the WCW Tag Titles, Harry Smith, Teddy Hart and Petey Williams vs Alex Shelley, Colt Cabana and a partner of their choosing, Roderick Strong vs Kevin Nash, and Scott Steiner vs Batista vs a mystery opponent for the #1 Contendership of the World Title.

Before they can even reach the ring, Scott Hall comes out with a chair and hits both from behind. Hall has a few more shots for Goldberg as Nash makes his way over to Strong. Nash eventually gets Strong up and gives him a sickening Jackknife Powerbomb onto the rampway, but the officials come down and break it up immediately after. (B)

Batista and Booker T vs Scott Steiner and Kevin Steen

 

Batista and Booker T defeat Scott Steiner and Kevin Steen via DQ. Scott Steiner gets his team disqualified by taking Batista out with a chair in the middle of the ring. Solid main event. (B-)

Steiner and Steen keep the beatdown going on Booker and Batista until the referees force them out of the ring. They triumphantly stroll up the ramp with their hands in the air as the crowd boos and Tony and DDP wonder if will be the same scene at the end of Spring Stampede?. (B+)

Weekend Edition: Week 1 of April, 2013

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/DaveMeltzer.jpg

 

 

Highlights:

 

 

- WCW is reportedly much happier with this week's in ring product than last's, most notably the Davey Richards/Brian Kendrick match. WCW plans to get Davey Richards into a major angle sooner, rather than later.

 

- WWE Raw stayed at a 2.5 rating this week, while both WCW Nitro and TNA Impact jumped up to 1.3 each. This is great news for WCW, who, three months ago, were getting about a third of WWE's audience compared to the more than half they get today.

 

- WCW has called up the following workers from PPW on a try-out basis: Adam Cole, Kazuchika Okada, Jimmy Jacobs, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson and Ricochet.

 

- WCW has made another slew of signings. The following are headed to PPW, WCW's development territory: Flip Kendrick, Lince Dorado, Azrieal (WCW plans to bring him up very soon), Brandon Gatson, Takuya Sugi and Jason Lyte.

 

The following are appearing in dark matches on a try-out basis for the three months before being re-leased, kept on or sent to PPW; Masato Yoshini, Brett DiBiase, Josh Daniels, Averno, Volador Jr and Michael Elgin, Jack Evans.

 

The following workers were signed to WCW's main roster: Kota Ibushi, Prince Devitt, Sami Callahan, Shinsuke Nakamura and Hiroshi Tanahashi.

I'm working on another promo vid, but I'm taking my time on it since I'm trying to learn more about video editing (just started), so I'll hold off on one until Starrcade.

 

Anyways, Spring Stampede results will be up either late tonight or early tomorrow so get your picks in! This is where the narrative of this whole dynasty really kicks off, so get ready for a few surprises in these results ;)

Jay Lethal vs John Hennigan © vs Shane Helms

(WCW Cruiserweight Title)

 

John Hennigan defeats Jay Lethal and Shane Helms to retain the WCW Cruiserweight Title. Near the end of the match, Helms turns on Hennigan by punching him and knocking him out of the ring. Helms turns around to receive a Lethal Injection from Jay Lethal, who then tries to cover Helms for the pin, but Hennigan makes it back into the ring in time to dropkick Lethal outside and pick up the pin himself. Very good, high flying opener! (B-)

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Kevin_Steen.jpg

 

Backstage, Kevin Steen is hanging out with his henchmen from the contract signing, who we now know is named Adam Pearce. He rants at Pearce about what he plans to do tonight and that no one can stop him, but it sounds like he's trying to convince himself more than anybody. He says he plans to leave Booker staring at the ceiling, just like he did on Nitro, and storms off. (B)

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/AlexShelley5.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Colt_Cabana2.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Antonio_Banks2.jpg

 

Elsewhere backstage, Colt Cabana, Alex Shelley and Antonio Banks are hanging out in their dressing room. Shelley and Cabana thank Banks for saving them on Nitro and for filling in the six-man tag for them, confirming Banks will be the sixth man. Banks downplays the thanks, and tells Shelley and Cabana to just make sure they get the job done tonight. The three men walk off, ready for their match. ©

Koji Kanemoto vs Low Ki

 

Low Ki defeats Koji Kanemoto with a top-rope stomp to the throat in a decent match, however the crowd still hasn't bought in to Koji Kanemoto and it brought the match down. (D)

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Paul_London.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/BrianKendrick5.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Davey_Richards.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Eddie_Edwards22.jpg

 

Backstage, Paul London and Brian Kendrick are getting ready for their match. They throw inspirational words at each other, talking about their long road back to a major organization, before Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards walks into the dressing room. Richards calls them pathetic and tells them not even to bother getting ready for the match because they're not on the level of them or the current champs. Edwards laughs as the American Wolves walk away, leaving a sour looking Londrick behind. (C+)

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Shelton_Benjamin.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/TedDiBiase.jpg

 

Backstage, Ted DiBiase and Shelton Benjamin are being interviewed. DiBiase jumps into a fiery rant about how Matt Hardy isn't on Shelton's level. He says no one has gotten the better of Shelton Benjamin in his first three months here and a wash-up like Hardy isn't going to change that. DiBiase says after tonight, Shelton will continue to be the Gold Standard.

Bobby Lashley vs Rhino

 

Bobby Lashley defeats Rhino. The two used their chemistry to their advantage to put on a surprisingly entertaining match. Rhino misses a gore into the ringpost, and turns around to receive a Dominator from Lashley for the pinfall. (B-)

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/CarlyColon4.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Chavo_Guerrero_Jr.jpg

 

Elsewhere backstage, Carly Colon and Chavo Guerrero polish their WCW Tag Team Titles. Chavo continues to stress the importance of retaining their titles for when their "hermano" gets here tomorrow on Nitro. They walk off for their match as Tony and DDP are left wondering who their "hermano" is. (B-)

Carly Colon and Chavo Guerrero vs The American Wolves vs Londrick

(WCW World Tag Team Titles)

 

Carly Colon and Chavo Guerrero defeat the American Wolves and the team of Londrick. Paul London hits an Asai Moonsault on the outside to Carly, Davey and Eddie, leaving Brian Kendrick in the ring to watch the chaos. Unfortunately for him, his legal opponent, Chavo Guerrero, rolls him up for behind to get the pinfall victory. The match was a bit of a letdown considering the reception previous encounters between these tag teams got. ©

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/BillGoldberg.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Roderick_Strong.jpg

 

Backstage, Goldberg is in Roderick Strong's dressing room, hyping him up for his match against Kevin Nash. Goldberg tells Strong this is the biggest night of his career, and if he ever wants to become a World Champion like him, then it all starts here, by seizing the opportunity. A pumped up Strong walks off, ready. (C+)

Shelley, Cabana and Banks vs Team Canada

 

Alex Shelley, Colt Cabana and Antonio Banks defeat Team Canada. Roddy Piper tries to interfere during a ref bump, but eats a Colt 45. from Cabana for his efforts. Harry Smith and and Petey Williams come in to save Piper, while Antonio Banks join in for a 2v2 brawl outside, Hart, thinking everything is under control, turns around to a Sliced Bread from Alex Shelley, who picks up the pinfall. ©

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Scott_Hall266.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/kevin_nash5.jpg

 

Backstage, Scott Hall is hyping Kevin Nash up for his first real match back in WCW. Nash stresses the importance of "sticking to the plan" to Hall, who says he's got everything covered. The two share a sly, evil smile before walking off for the match.

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/ScottSteiner2.jpg

 

Before the Triple Threat match, Scott Steiner gets on the mic and voices his displeasure with a third man being added, who he couldn't even prepare for. Steiner tries to override Ric Flair by grabbing the referee and attempting to intimidate him into starting the match as a 1 on 1.

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Ric_Flair2.jpg

 

This is ultimately interrupted by Ric Flair, who comes to the ring with a ramp. Flair says he promised when WCW came back that they would shock the world and sent ripples through the wrestling world that would be felt by everyone. He says there's no secret why this company was started; to kill WWE. After referring to their rival promotion for the first time during a broadcast, Flair continues by saying it starts today. He says he has committed an act of war against WWE by signing on of their top stars: The man to lead the charge, who Flair says he is using to officially start the war against WWE; BRYAN DANIELSON!

Batista vs Scott Steiner vs Daniel Bryan

(Winner will face WCW Champion in main event of Starrcade)

Bryan Danielsondefeats Scott Steiner and Batista to become the #1 Contender to the WCW World Heavyweight Title. Danielson, who had been laid out on the outside for quite some time, uses the NO-DQ nature of Triple Threat matches to low blow Batista and shove him out of the ring, after Batista had hit the Batista Bomb on Scott Steiner, and pick up the pinfall on Steiner. (C+)

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Booker_T3.jpg

 

Backstage, Booker T is being interviewed about his feeling on his title match, and Bryan Danielson debuting in a match where he earns a shot to potentially face Booker in the main event of Starrcade. Booker stars by saying Kevin Steen was right; he doesn't respect him, as a person. But he does respect him in the ring, so he'd be stupid to look past him to anyone else, including Bryan Danielson, but he lets it be known there's no way he's not leaving here tonight as WCW champion. Can you dig it, sucka? (B)

Kevin Nash vs Roderick Strong

 

Roderick Strong defeats Kevin Nash. During a ref bump, Nash calls in Scott Hall to help him beat down Strong. The two get him to the ground and relentlessly stomp him until Bill Goldberg runs down the ramp. Hall bails out of the ring, as he is in no physical condition to stick around for a beating, so Goldberg goes right after Nash. The two trade blows, and Kevin Nash tries to Irish Whip Goldberg, but he reverses it and Spears Nash for his troubles. Nash then eats a Jackhammer from Goldberg and Strong crawls over Nash for the pin as the referee comes to in a big upset victory! ©

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Hulk_Hogan.jpg

 

Hulk Hogan comes down to the ring look serious, with a mic in his hand. Hogan says he tried to avoid his demons for too long, but eventually demons catch up with you. He says tonight, he has to face the man that almost killed Hulkamania, the man that ended his historic run in WWE. The fans know who he is talking about, and it's all but confirmed when the music hits; (B-)

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Ultimate_Warrior.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Hulk_Hogan.jpg

 

Warrior's music hits and he runs to the ring, making his first appearance in WCW in close to two decades. Warrior gets face to face with Hogan before posing with the crowd some more and grabbing a mic. Warrior says as much as they've been through, there's no reason they both can't coexist in WCW. He extends his hand to Hogan, who mulls it over, before eventually shaking it. As the two celebrate for the crowd, Hogan cheap shots Warrior from behind. He stops him a few times before delivering his trademark legdrop and leaving. (B+)

Booker T vs Kevin Steen

(Street Fight for WCW World Heavyweight Title)

 

Booker T defeats Kevin Steen to retain the WCW World Heavyweight Title. Near the end of the match, Adam Pearce tries to hit Booker T with his own World Title, but hits Kevin Steen instead. Booker hits the Book End on Pearce, before hitting a scissor kick on Steen for the win.(B-)

 

 

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Daniel_Bryan3.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/xpaulocaustx/Booker_T3.jpg

 

After the match, Bryan Danielson comes down to the ring to face off with retaining champion, Booker T. Danielson raises his arms at points to the Starrcade banner hanging from the rafters, inferring he'll be the winner that evening, while Booker T raises his WCW World Title and points to the banner, inferring the very same. Spring Stampede fades off the air. (B+)
