World Championship Wrestling

The Battle for Survival

This is the year is 2000. The world hasn’t ended like many though it would. The millennium bug was more, a Y2J problem, than a J2K problem. Phones were a little less smart. Nokia ruled the market and everyone was hooked on playing Snake and for the last five years on prime time TV two companies have gone head-to-head every Monday Night it what would be named The Monday Night Wars.

WCW Nitro first aired on September 4th 1995 pitting World Championship Wrestling against the World Wrestling Federation form here WCW would become the number one wrestling company in the world. WCW held the advantage during 1996/1997 with the New World Order storyline. WCW blurred the lines between real life and kayfabe.

However nothing last for ever. WWF rallied behind the concept that would be known as the Attitude Era. Using the Vince Russo style of booking often referred to as Crash TV. Matches became shorter and a greater emphasis was put on shock factor. Stone Cold Steve Austin became the biggest name in wrestling and other talents started to shine though in the WWF. The Rock who failed as a face under the name Rocky Maivia was repackaged and destined to become a top star. D-Generation X gave Triple H, The New Age Outlaws and Sean Waltman a previous member of the New World Order a stage in which they could shine and be on the way to stardom.

Meanwhile as fresh faces helped rally the WWF the same names stayed on top of WCW. The only man to break through the glass ceiling and allowed to be a real star was Bill Goldberg. On September 22 1997 Goldberg defeated Hugh Morris to being a winning streak that would take the wrestling world by storm. In mid-1998 both companies were neck and neck trading top spots. It’s here WCW decided to showcase Goldberg VS Hogan for the title instead of PPV. In what would be one of the highest rated segments of the war Goldberg pinning Hogan for his first world title drew a 6.91 rating. But WCW couldn’t keep the advantage.

Things started to go from bad to worse for the company that once claimed to be the clear leaders in sport entertainment. Halloween Havoc 1998 over ran causing WCW to give a replay of the match away for free on Nitro and give refunds to many of the people that purchased the PPV. WCW product began to shift focuses towards Kevin Nash who was rumoured to be the head booker. It was Nash that would end Goldberg streak for the World Title at Starrcade 1998.

With the start of 1999 both companies were pulling rating of 5.0 or higher with over 10 million people tuning in to watch Raw and Nitro every week. January 4th 1999 the night Mick Foley won the WWF Championship for the first time. The evening was set to go WCW way with the World Title match between Goldberg and Kevin Nash, a rematch from Starrcade announced as the main. However leaking the result changed the course of the night in the favour of the WWF. On the same night WCW severed the main event with Hulk Hogan’s returns to the ring. Hogan world face Nash for the world title in what would be known as the Finger Poke of Doom. Hogan would leave the January 4th edition of Nitro World Champion with the reformation of the New World Order that helped perplex WCW to the number one spot back in 1996.

The New World Order didn’t have the desired effect as WCW Ratings started to slide causing the company to go into panic mode. By mid-1999 the NWO split up once more. They booked Megadeth, Chad Brock and Kiss for concerts in an attempt to pull back some of the rating from WWF that was now dominating the rating. All of these segments flopped while WWF went from strength to strength with the rise of the Rock and Sock connection.

WCW turned to Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara the head writers behind WWF television. Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara the Powers That Be failed to recapture the magic they had in WWF and make good on the promises they gave to WCW management. The Powers That Be introduced ideas like Olkahoma, a parody of Jim Ross that mocked his Bell’s palsy.

The ratings didn’t chance and entering December things started to go from bad to worse for Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara. At Starrcade 1999 World Champion Bret “The Hitman” Hart suffered a severe concussion at the hands of Bill Goldberg. Bret Hart wrestled though the concussion and in late December WCW management decided to once again reforms the NWO this time as Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Jeff Jarrett and Bret Hart. It was though the NWO might help bring back some of the views they have lost to the WWF product and were set to feud with Goldberg. However this quickly fell though with Goldberg injuring himself smashing a window.

WCW ends 1999 with the promotion entering both financial and creative lows. The company is distant second place and the atmosphere backstage is poisons. Can WCW rally behind new leadership and turn in tide in the war once more or is the battle for Monday Night a forgone conclusion. This is the year 2000. This is WCW.

Love a good WCW diary, so I'll try to follow as much as I can. Can I just ask what mod are you using?

Mitsunari · February 4, 2014

I'm using the 2000-The New Millennium mod 1.0 by NWAvsWWF

Beejus · February 4, 2014

As a fellow WCW writer and (as soon as Smasher gets the file back to me <img alt="

WCW Monday Nitro

Monday January Week 1

Location: - AL Mobile Civic Centre Arena

Attendance: - 10,112 (Sell-out)

Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan and Mike Tenay open the show talking about how this is going to be a new era in the History of WCW. They tell the audience sitting at home that the powers that be have been removed and Ric Flair has replaced Terry Funk as World Championship Wrestling Commissioner from this point forward.

The New World Orders music hits the arena and The Outsiders Kevin Nash and Scott Hall lead out the World Heavyweight Champion Bret “The Hitman” Hart alongside United States champion Jeff Jarrett and Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner. Bret Hart takes the Microphone and beings to address the crowed in Mobile Civic Centre Arena.

As a fellow WCW writer and (as soon as Smasher gets the file back to me ) fellow 2k writer, I look forward to seeing what you can do for WCW in this dark age.

As soon as you get online on Skype again.

Liked the first show, let's see where The Outsiders go with the Titles now.

Sid for World Champ! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Good show, and don't you dare put Goldberg in the ring with Bret at any point ever.

EDIT: Just realized that was '99 >_>. When does Goldberg come back from that injury?

Good show, and don't you dare put Goldberg in the ring with Bret at any point ever. EDIT: Just realized that was '99 >_>. When does Goldberg come back from that injury? </div></blockquote> I believe Goldberg is out for the next three months. Sting is also out for around three months as well so they should be ready to come back around the same time. Hulk Hogan should be back in about in a little over a month so just in time for our second PPV which is Super Brawl 2000. got some good stuff planned with the NWO 2000 between now and Hogans return Xp. Still three massive names to be missing from the card right from the start of the game. Also waiting for Bryan Clarke to return from injury so we can have KroniK who at this point in time have yet to become a Tag Team. In the mean time I I'll be cutting down the roster after the 14 names already released in my first few days in the game.

See the man with the largest Arms in the World plans on carrying Mrs Page back to the New World Order then showing her why he earned the name Big Poppa Pump. Scott Steiner then leaves set. Gene Okerland says that it is sick he is talking about another man’s wife that way. B- We get a video package highlight some of the action from Nitro in the Tag Team tournament. We are shown clips of The Filthy Animals VS The Outsiders and The Revolution VS Harlam Heat. The commentary team says that these are two of the best teams in the world and we are in for a real treat here on WCW Thunder. The commentary team working are hard to put all four men over before their match tonight.

The two teams were one of the highlights of the last episode of Nitro and once again are stealing the show. Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn are coming across as real contenders for the titles and are booked strongly much like they were on Monday against Harlem heat with them being allowed to dominate the early going of the match. Towards the middle the Filthy Animals come into it with Mistrio making a tag to Billy Kidman. Billy eventually picks up the win after 10:24 seconds with a Shooting Star Press. All four men made the best of the time slot they were given to put on a great contest. C+</div></blockquote> After the contest Rey and Kidman offer to shake the hands of Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko congratulating them on the match. The Revolution accepts the hand shake from their opponents before going for the cheap shot. You just can’t trust heels with handshakes now can you? The Revolution beat down the Filth Animals before leaving the ring to a round of boos from the fans. C- We head backstage this time to Ric Flairs office. He says he has had enough of the New World Order. Flair says if Jeff Jarrett thinks he can get away with attacking people backstage he has another thing coming. As the Commissioner of World Championship Wrestling he is booking a match on Nitro that sees the United States Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett defend the title against the American Nightmare Dustin Rhodes. C We cut to a vignette for the New World Order. This is presented in the style of the original Vignette when the NWO first appeared being shot in Black and White. The New World Order theme is playing and Bret Hart, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and Jeff Jarrett are featured with each of their title belts. The vignette basically shows they are the NWO, they are the most dominate force in Wrestling Today. B- Diamond Dallas Pages is shown walking backstage with his wife Kimberly Page in toe the two of them are heading towards the ring. We are told that the main event between DDP and Lex Lugar is next before cutting away for a commercial break.

The two men go back and forth as neither one wants to let the other get the advantage. This is pretty much how the contest runs for the first half of the match before DDP starts to take control. The fans are chanting DDPS name and his wife Kimberly is spurring him on from the outside as he comes close with a couple of near falls. As we approach the end of the contest we see Big Poppa Pump make his way down towards the ring. DDP spots this as the commentators talk about Scott Steiner’s comments before about Kimberly Page. Lex Lugar takes advantage of the distraction getting a near fall before DDP kicks out. Both men get back to their feet as Kimberly tries to hide from Scott Steiner on the outside. Inside the ring DDP hits the Diamond cutter and gets the pin fall victory. C+</div></blockquote> DDP doesn’t celebrate his win but heads straight for Scott Steiner and the two men get into in over the comments made by Scott Steiner about Kimberly page. They brawl all around the ring before making their way towards the back stage area here at Thunder. Kimberly follows screaming at her husband to beat Scott Steiner while security try and pull the two of them apart. The show heads off area with us being told to tune into Nitro to see the outcome of this and much, much more.

After the pyros and such that open the show Diamond Dallas Pages music hits the arena. DDP makes his way down to the ring taking one of the microphones from ring side. DDP demands the people in the back show some footage from this past Thursday on WCW Thunder. The interview segment is played were Scott Steiner comments about DDP Wife. Diamond Dallas Page say that WCW officials may have stopped him for kicking Steiner’s ass on Thunder but tonight he wants Big Poppa Pump one on one. We then hear the music of the Number one contender, the Canadian crippler, Chris Benoit. Benoit makes his way down to the ring to a massive reaction from the crowd. Benoit apologise to DDP before taking one of the Microphones. Benoit says he also has some business with the New World Order. Benoit tells the crowd last week Bret Hart got the better of him. Tonight he makes The Hitman tapout. Benoit demands his World Title Shot tonight live on Monday Nitro. Benoit then demands Bret gets down to the ring right now. This brings out The Nature Boy Ric Flair. The WCW commissioner comes down to the ring. He tells Benoit to settle down and that he will get his title shot as advertised at WCW Souled out in two weeks’ time. He however mentions that if DDP wants Steiner and Benoit wants Hart so badly tonight then in the main event. DDP and Benoit will team together to take on the New World Order. The crowd go wild for the two hottest wrestlers on the roster right now however the celebration is short lived with the arrival of the NWO. Steiner starts to speak asking DDP, how is his wife and if she has been longer to feel what it’s like to ride with the Big Bad Booty Daddy. DDP is furious in the ring and needs Ric Flair to hold him back to stop him from marching up the isle and beating Steiner’s ass right now. Bret then takes over on the Microphone. He addresses Chris Benoit telling him he has done well. He says that he has accomplished a lot in his career but if he thinks he is on the same level of the Hitman he is sadly mistaken. At Souled out Chris Benoit will tap out to the sharpshooter just like he will tonight. The NWO music hits and the segments ends. C+ We can backstage and see the WCW Cruiserweight Champion Madusa walking back stage. She is approached by the scream queen Daffney. Daffney claims that Madusa looked at her the wrong way. She claims that she was judging her because she is different. She then screams in the face of Madusa in the normal high pitch scream. Madusa tries to plead her case, as Daffney keeps screaming as loudly as she can. Her boyfriend David Flair appears asks if Madusa thinks she is so high and mighty. He challenges Madusa to a match later on tonight before heading of Camera with Madusa. Pretty poor segment from everyone involved in it.

The two Cruiserweight are sent out with the idea of putting on a good show for the fans in attendance tonight. Berlyen is accompanied by a new manager at ring side. His new manager appeared to massive giant that towers over both the wrestlers in the ring standing at 6”6. The finish of the match comes when Berlyn throws Juventud Guerrera to the outside before distracting the referee. This allows the Big F’n German as the commentary team have named him to give Juventud a massive boot almost taking his head off. Afterwards the Big F’n German throws Guerrera back in so Berlyn can get the cover after 6:36. D</div></blockquote> The Giant steps over the ropes after the match. He picks put the broken body of Juventud Guerrera. Holding him up for a muscle buster type move he names the Tower of Power. The Giant holders Juventud Guerrera in the air as Berlyn takes a microphone from ringside. He says Berlyn is the new face of WCW and your next Television Champion of the World with this monster by his side no one can stop him. The German hits the Tower of Power laying Guerrera out. Berlyn tells the crowd to remember the name of The Big F’n German Burghardt Felix Geisler. An impressive debt for the big man but lacked head from the crowd due to them not knowing who he was. E We cut to the backstage area and see that Kimberly Page is alone backstage. She is watching a replay of the brawl from Thunder on one of the monitors. Scott Steiner appears behind her making her jump. Kimberly cringer as Scott Steiner gets closer into her. He says that it’s about time she gets with a real man. The Big Bad Butty Daddy about to give her a Steiner Screwdriver that she will never forget. Kimberly is distraught. Scott Steiner is about to kiss her when DDP makes the save. The two of them exchange blows causing Scott Steiner to leave the room. After being chased off DDP comforts his crying wife. DDP is clearly fuming right now with that just went down. Good segments that did a nice job advancing the story line.

The pairing of Malenko and Saturn is booked strongly against their face opponent’s getting off a new of Tag Team moves. Kaz eventually makes the tag to La Parka and they go on the offensive but it doesn’t change the story of the match. The Revolution pick up the victory in this one sided affair when Dean Malenko hits the Texas Cloverleaf on La Parka. La Parka taps out ending the contest. Good match for TV but nothing to write home about. D</div></blockquote> Malenko takes the microphone after the contest. They say that since last week on Nitro two teams have been on everyone lips. He teases the crowd with Harlam Heat and The Outsider before saying the Wrestling World isn’t talking about the World Tag Team Champions but The Revolution and The Filthy Animals. They tell the crowd they stole the show last week on Nitro and they stole the show on Thunder on TBS. Malenko tells the crowd they are upset with the result and they want to rectify the wrongs on PPV. The Revolution challenges the Filthy Animals at Souled Out. Billy Kidman and Rey Misterio make their way out. They say that the match they had on Thunder was one of the most exciting contest that WCW has seen for a long time. They accept the challenge saying that at Souled Out they will raise the bar and when they are done with The Revolution they are coming for the WCW World Tag Team Championship. D Harlam Heat and shown recovering at home after the beat down suffered from the Outsiders and the NWO last week on Nitro. Booker T apologises to fans that they couldn’t be in attendance tonight due the injury’s suffered at the hands of the New World Order. However they promise that they will return to action next week. Booker tells us that after the interference from Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett they went to Commissioner Ric Flair. They asked him for a rematch because they got screw. Ric Flair granted their request as they have the first title show at The Outsiders at the Souled Out PPV and to stop the rest of the NWO from interfering this match is going to be inside a Steal Cage.

Madusa the current Cruiserweight champion takes on David Flair. The only saving grace in this contest is the length of the match is kept short. The cruiserweight champion leaves with the victory after David Flairs girlfriend gets involved in the contest. She tries to hit Madusa but misses and nails Flair before Madusa hits him with a German Suplex after 5:25. The Cruiserweight Champion gets the pin fall to end a contest that Madusa should binned like she did with the WWF Womans Championship. E</div></blockquote> We go to another backstage segment with Diamond Dallas Page and Ric Flair. Pages say he is sick of this stuff with Big Poppa Pump. He says that tonight is a wrestling match. He doesn’t want a wrestling match. He wants to hurt Scott Steiner. Pages begs Ric Flair to use his power as commissioner and book him in Steiner in a Street Fight at Souled Out. He Promised that he will take out Steiner for what he has put Kimberly Page though. Ric Flair books the match wishing Page good luck. B- The American Nightmare is standing by with Gene Okerland. He asked Dustin Rhodes if he is ready for tonight’s match up as he squares off against the United States Champion Jeff Jarrett. Dustin says that it was back in 1993, Atlanta Georgia. Ricky the Dragon Steamboat and he squared off and he became United States Champion for the first time. He says he lost the belt the same year and all this time the American Nightmare another shot the carry United States Championship Gold. Dustin promises he isn’t doing this for the fan, or for Ric Flair but tonight he leaves United States Champion. Tonight Dustin Rhodes is the New Worlds Orders worst nightmare.

Dustin feeds to the energy from the crowd and fights back into the contest about the mid-match area. Dustin starts to control and he looks for his finisher as Kevin Nash makes his way down to ringside. Nash distracts the referee as Hall comes from the crowd with a guitar. Hall throws the Guitar to Jeff Jarrett while Rhodes is distracting like the referee. Jarrett hits the acoustic equalizer before showing the evidence out of the ring. Jarrett cover Dustin and get the cover to retain the title during an entertaining title match. Both wrestlers come out of the contest looking strong. C-</div></blockquote> The referee rings the bell as the tag team champions the Outsiders hit the ring. The Outsiders and Jeff Jarrett beat on Dustin like a pack of wolves. They hammer down on the American Nightmare until he is busted open in the middle of the ring. Jeff Jarrett takes the microphone and being to speak. He asks when will you people learn. It doesn’t matter who you are, you’re either with the New World Order or you’re against the New World Order. If you against us take a good look at this bloody mess right here because this is what you’re looking forward to. The NWO music hits they leave the ring as ringside official help out Dustin Rhodes. C- We are backstage and Sid Vicious enter the arena. Vicious looks like a man on a mission. The commentary team head back down to ringside were they refresh the comments made by Ric Flair on last week’s nitro.

From here Hart and Steiner are able to take control isolating Benoit in the corner. They talk about the NWO wanting to weaken him before that title match. After a while Benoit makes the hot tag to DDP who charges in give a Diamond Cutter to both Champion and Steiner. DDP gets a near fall before the NWO once again control the contest. Steiner throws DDP out to the The Outsiders who are trying to inject themselves into this contest like they did the United States title match.

The New World Order uses the number advantage to deliver another beating like we have seen over the last couple of weeks on Nitro. This is until Sid Vicious music hit. Sid runs down to the ring and exchanges blows with the member of the New World Order in the ring. This gives the opportunity for Diamond Dallas Page and Chris Benoit to fight back.
