1994 WCW: The Art of War

TheZies · June 20, 2013

“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win”

― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

OOC: Wanted to create my fictionalization of the Wars between WWF/E and WCW. One addition that is going to change things from other's is my CAW: Jake Steele. The character is from a NCAA Football dynasty a friend and I played. Everything about him actually happened in game.

http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a573/Ashley_Menzies/Generic129_zps803e013c.jpg

Jake Steele a 23-year old former football player. He was a punter and kicker at Rutgers known for wearing a tinted visor. There are also strong rumors that he had his coach, Craig T. Nelson, fired at the conclusion of his Junior season.

If there is a young star to follow, it's Steele. Prone to acting as a heel, he as outstanding charisma and a certain star quality to him. He picked up selling very quickly, but still needs to learn his way around the ring. He is ready to make an impact with his Goodnight From Rio finisher.

I hope to take this diary in a bit of a different direction and still be an interesting look back to the 90s of wrestling. And since I work from home, I hope I can pump out a few of these to keep things moving pretty well...

Week 1, July 1994 - A monday

Three days away from the tapings for WCW Main Event and WCW Saturday Night and major, major rumors are starting to spread.

Though the biggest news of course is the signing of Hulk Hogan, WCW continues to make news in the wrestling world.

Looking to bolster their roster of stars as a war with WWF seems to be inevitable at this point, WCW has been in contact with many wrestlers. The names floating around include both current stars and many new stars still needing training.

Contract extensions have been made to Ron Simmons and Cactus Jack. But many others on the roster do not feel as save... particularly those not on written contacts. Jim Duggan and The Guardian Angel have already been let go, so it is apparent that no one is safe.

Owner of WCW, Ted Turner, has apparently been quiet excited about the development of Dustin Rhodes. Dave Meltzer had this report:

Sources are telling me that Ted Turner is expecting to see WCW push Dustin Rhodes to near Main Event Status over the coming year setting up a potential run with or for the US title. Rumors are also swirling about a DDP Television title run in coming future.

Titles:

WCW World Heavyweight: Ric Flair

WCW United States: Steve Austin

WCW Tag Team: Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan

WCW World Television: Steven Regal

Major Feuds heading into first show:

Rating: B+ </div></blockquote> Editor Thoughts: Shocked to see Sting get the decision in the main event. But could set up interesting ramifications later on. Hogan made a nice debut with WCW. They’ve got a month to build to Bash at the Beach … the contract signing is scheduled for two weeks. A pretty simple card the rest of the way. Nothing wrong with it, but would like to see the storylines pushed more in the coming weeks. Maybe we’ll call it the calm before the storm?? There are a few minor booking elements I can do to make it better, but regardless, a sell out and a B rated card are nothing to sneeze at. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36276" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>------------------ <div style="text-align:center;"> http://images.tvrage.com/shows/7/6546.jpg Sunday Night Main Event Rating: C+</div> Announcers recap the events of Saturday including the debut of Hogan and him gunning toward Flair.

The brewhaha apparently almost came to blows before backstage managers Jody Hamilton and Harley Race got involved. Rumors are that WCW Commissioner Nick Bockwinkle has advised that Vader will not be in attendance for next week's tapings. Citing "everyone's best interest" and for Vader cooperation he will receive a title match in the coming weeks. BASH AT THE BEACH Preperations are being made for the contract signing between Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair for the main event at Bash at the Beach. The Pay-Per-View is scheduled to be coming to you live from The Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida. A projected sell out crowd grows anxious for the biggest match in wrestling history! SIGNINGS Rumors are rampant about sightings of Rick Rude, Davey Boy Smith and The Warrior around WCW Headquarters. No word on if any of the men have officially signed a contract with the company.

No one has been able to identify the source only that the company intercom will turn on and a wild laughter is heard. No one from the corporate level was available for comment. Bash at the Beach: The Bash at the beach line up is starting to fill out! The main event is still pending signing but we already have several matches set up to go!

Special Announcement: A special press conference has also been scheduled for Bash at the Beach. Rumors are that WCW officials are prepared to announce a new title, but no confirmation has been given from management. PPV SCHEDULE CHANGE WCW has also announced a major change to their fall PPV schedule. The change involves the moving of the mega-PPV Fall Brawl to November and an as of yet unnamed PPV is being scheduled for September. YOUNG TALENT IN NEED OF LEADERSHIP WCW officials are pleased with influx of young talent into the company. From Chris Jericho, Jake Steele, Stevie Richards and Eddie Guerrero. They are, however, on the look for some veteran leadership to help the young kids along. (Read: I cut too many of my veteran midcarders and need to bring some people to help the kids get over!)

He yells for his music to be cut off. He leans against the ropes facing the entrance way and calls Ricky Steamboat to come out. After a moment, Steamboat appears. Austin tells him that his little friends are in trouble, and that the 6-man tag match tonight will be a precursor for what will happen at Bash at the Beach. Steamboat tells Austin good luck on finding anyone will to work with him. Austin says don’t worry he’s got a few old friends. Key quotes: Heenan: “Who’s going to help Austin? He doesn't have any friends.” Solie: “Saturday night is always full of surprises and we can’t wait to get to the main event!” Rating: B Hyple: 4.5 out 5 pairs of tasseled biceps </div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;">http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a573/Ashley_Menzies/WCWBanner_zps3a902cad.jpg</div> MATCH 1: <div style="text-align:center;">http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i14/JDTheIcon/EddieGuerrero.jpghttp://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l296/joehelmer/WCW%20dynasty/Wrestlers/DeanMalenko2.jpg</div> The fans are really enjoying these new young workers in the WCW.

Benoit missed a diving headbutt which Pillman took advantage of by hitting the Air Pillman to get the victory. It should be noted that during the match up, Pillman received a stiff kick to the side of the head by Benoit. He rolled out of the ring and was almost counted out before being tossed back in. Pillman counters a Guerrero suplex before hitting the Air Pillman for the victory. Match Note: Dry blood was visible on Pillman's ear by the end of the match. No word on his status.

Brian Knobbs took an early advantage and kept Stud in the Nasty’s corner. Heenan astutely pointed out, “think of that smell.” But Stud dodges a corner splash that caused Sags to knock Knobbs off the ring apron. Stud made a quick tag to Wright who took over from there. A few more tags and Write locks in an STF on Sags and gets the Big Nasty to tap out. The crowd loves it! The two celebrate in the crowd as the show cuts to commercial.

The history between these two men goesss way back and is obvious in the ring. Eaton mounts a little offense, but Double A hits a spinbuster in the middle of the ring to get the pinfall victory. Solie commented that Beautiful Bobby may need to change his name after that fight. Heenan responds saying "I'm not sure it was even right to start with."

Funk came out to the ramp to watch, but Rhodes was too focused. Simmons take control about midway through the match hitting a powerslam followed by another powerslam. Rhodes looked defeated but he sneaks in a DDT followed by his Father’s trademarked Bionic Elbow to get the pinfall victory.

The match was a remembrance to the old days of six-man tag wrestling. Lots of tags and lots of action. Warrior and Meng take the fight outside of the ring and Austin tosses the British Bulldog from the ring, but as he turns around and is hit by Steamboats high crossbody. A 1-2-3 and team Steamboat picks up the win! Austin is irate grabbing his title and leaving without as much as a word to either Meng or Funk.

Sting hits a couple of Stinger splashes but Vader seems to just laugh them off. Vader misses a Vadersault that would have put the match to rest. The match spills to the outside, when a Vader clothesline takes both men out of the ring. But suddenly, the light shut down and that evil laugh is heard... Heenan: "What's that!? Who's there!?" Solie: That's that odd laugh from the video. When the lights come back on, both Vader and Sting are down. Leaving the official only with the option to count out both workers. Sting and Vader both counted out Hennan: I might need to change.

During the official weigh-in, Hogan clocked in at 6’7” and 283 lbs. A svelt weigh in for the Hulkster. But he still dwarfs the not small Flair who measured in at 6’1” and 249 lbs. Both men are given a moment to state their peace heading into the iconic clash. Hogan: Listen here, brotha. I maybe stepping in to your back yard, but that ring in my home.” Flair: “You bring all the sound and fury you want, Hulkster. But that ring is Hell’s Squared Circle. And I will do whatever it takes… to make sure… that I will continue to be… Dubbya Wooo-See Woooo -Dubbya Woooo… World… Wooo… Heavyweight champion. Even if that means signing my soul to the devil. Wooo.” Both put their John Hancock’s on the contract to make the match official. The amount of buzz for the match cannot be measured. Key Quotes: Brain: “If Hogan wins this thing, I might puke.” Solie: “This is will go down as the greatest moment in wrestling history. A moment where you will tell your grandkids about where you were the night that the Immortal Hulk Hogan faced off with the Nature Boy Ric Flair. If it was the only match of the night, it’d be worth the price of admission. Hogan: Brotha, I've been waiting a long time for this one. Hulkamania didn't come here to lose to some guy with a $500 haircut and glittery robe. You'd better be sayin' you prayers, brotha. Because Hulkamania is about to run wild on you. Brotha. Flair: At least I can get a $500 hair cut. Wooo! And as I have always said... to be the man. You've got to Wooo! Beat the man. Woo! And I am most certainly... Wooo! that man. Brotha count: 23 Woooo count: 56 (Flair was in rare form) Hype: 10 out of 5 Skullets Rating: B+</div></blockquote> Editor Note: Going fast and heavy because I wanted to get to Bash! Seriously, excited for it. Regarding this show: Most of my angle time went to the intro and contract signing. So, there was a bit of overload in just matches in the middle, which worked fine. I also threw another match in there to how that worked. Which could be why: This. Crowd. Sucked. They were cold most of the night which hampered the show. A B show isn’t bad, but I just expected more for the go home show. But all in the all the card graded out just about perfectly with each segment gaining in the ratings. But a downer after such a good show the week before. Hopefully, the momentum doesn’t get hurt too bad heading into Bash which is ONLY IN TWO DAYS! Preview up soon!

Week 4 July 1994

http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/wgn.jpg

Injury report

Brian Pillman suffered a busted ear drum during his match against Chris Benoit. Many in the back feel that Benoit was working too stiff and was responsible for the injury. No reports of ill will between the two. Pillman is listed as day-to-day and could go at Bash at the Beach, but no medical clearance has been announced yet.

Mysterious Videos:

The odd videos continue to play during Saturday Night… there is concern that something could happen at Bash at the Beach, but WCW executives are still not responding to anything about what is going on.

Around wrestling:

Chief Jay Strongbow has been named head trainer of the Cominic DeNucci’s Wrestling School

Ron Hutchinson Wrestling Academy has named Bret Hart as their new head training. This is a huge get for the academy and has everyone in wrestling bookmarking their potential graduates (editor notes: Might turn on generation just to see what comes from the academy? Might put it to a reader vote?)
