WCW 2014: The Monday Night Wars Are Back!

[Rampaaage]

It's been 13 years since Vince McMahon officially won the Monday Night Wars and defeated the defunct WCW. It's also been 13 years since the WWE has had any real competition as the most popular professional wrestling company in the world. Perhaps that is the reason that Vince McMahon continues to lose money, or perhaps times of just changed, nonetheless in an effort to gain the company some extra revenue, and hopefully garner more wrestling fans pocket change, ($9.99 to be precise) the owner has decided to sell some of the WWE's assets. The biggest of those, being the rights to World Championship Wrestling. Who would it be to step up and buy the rights to what was once considered one of the premier wrestling companies in the whole world?

WCW December Week 1 Predictions

 

Chris Hero vs. Kyle O'Reilly

Comments: I really hate Kyle O'Reilly.

 

Willie Mack & ACH vs. Gregory Helms & Shelton Benjamin

Comments: I love Willie Mack and ACH, but Helms and Benjamin have name value.

 

Colt Cabana vs. Joey Ryan

Comments: I want to pick Joey, but Cabana rules.

 

Low-Ki vs. AJ Styles

Comments: AJ is wayyyy more over than Low Ki

 

WCW Tag Team Championship Match

Bad Influence vs. The Young Bucks

Comments: Bad Influence are amazing. They deserve to be the World Tag Team Champions of the World all over again.

[The Final Countdown]

I like your roster. It feels like a good mixture of guys, rather than just being a largely ROH or TNA or ex-WWE roster under the WCW name.

 

Chris Hero vs. Kyle O'Reilly

Comments: Is Bobby Fish available for you to sign? reDRagon would be a great addition to any tag division.

 

Willie Mack & ACH vs. Gregory Helms & Shelton Benjamin

Comments: Like Jaysin said.

 

Colt Cabana vs. Joey Ryan

Comments: Boom Boom!

 

Low-Ki vs. AJ Styles

Comments: Best match on the show? Quite possibly.

<p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>WCW Nitro</strong></p><p><strong>

Monday, Week 1, December 2014</strong></p><p><strong>

American Bank Center (TX)</strong></p><p><strong>

Attendance of 7,948</strong></p><p> </p><p>

The show kicks off with the new owner, <strong>Eric Bishoff</strong> making his way to the ring.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/EricBischoff_zps6fb39ee6.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Eric Bischoff:</strong> Hello ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for tuning into the inaugural show of the NEW WCW!</p><p> </p><p>

It truly feels great to be back, and I can’t wait to show Vince McMahon and company just how good a pro wrestling show can be. </p><p> </p><p>

Starting tonight, we will be having a 12-man tournament to crown our first WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and when my personal choice, the biggest signing in WCW history, Alberto Caras wins the whole thing, our company will have a champion that can best any other wrestler around. I hope you all enjoy the show.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/KassiusOhno_zpsab7fe379.jpg</span> vs. <span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/KyleOReilly_zps6c447e20.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

Chris Hero vs. Kyle O'Reilly</p><p> </p><p>

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Chris Hero defeated Kyle O'Reilly in 11:25 by pinfall with a Hangman's Clutch Facebuster to advance into the next round of the WCW World Championship tournament. </p><p> </p><p>

We head backstage where Josh Matthews is standing by with the Young Bucks.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/JoshMatthews_zps5b37f669.jpg</span><span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/MattJackson_zpscd3745ce.jpg</span><span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/NickJackson_zps1f1de3da.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Josh Matthews:</strong> Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests, Matt and Nick Jackson, The Young Bucks. </p><p> </p><p>

So, guys, how excited are you to compete in our main event tonight with the tag team titles on the line?</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Matt Jackson:</strong> You know Josh, it’s pretty flattering honestly. It really shows that everything we’ve worked so hard for has came full circle, and we now have the chance to join some of the all time greats who have held the titles previously.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Josh Matthews:</strong> You’ve faced Bad Influence many times before tonight, but this will be the first time you’ve faced off since both joining the company, what is going to be the game plan?”</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Nick Jackson:</strong> It’s impossible to plan for guys like Christopher Daniels and Frankie, they know each other like brothers, and they’re more comfortable in the ring than any team I know. It’ll be a battle that’s for sure.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Matt Jackson:</strong> But when it’s all said in done, have no doubt that…</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/ChristopherDaniels_zps558e15a4.jpg</span><span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/Kazarian_zps1cf9543b.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazerian charge the set, beating the Young Bucks to the ground.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Daniels:</strong> What my friend Matt was trying to say was, have no doubt that, that the last living gentlemen, that the dynamic duo, that the best tag team in the biz-i-ness, will leave tonight with the World Championship Wrestling tag team titles tonight.</p><p> </p><p>

Kazarian proposes a toast as he hands his partner and Josh Matthews both a drink.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Kazarian:</strong> Come on Joshua, drink up! </p><p> </p><p>

Willie Mack & ACH vs. Shelton Benjamin & Gregory Helms</p><p> </p><p>

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Willie Mack & ACH defeated Shelton Benjamin and Gregory Helms in 10:09 when ACH defeated Gregory Helms by pinfall with a Dragon Fly</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/SheltonBenjamin_zps36ef1403.jpg</span><span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/WillieMack_zps1ebdcf00.jpg</span><span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/ACH_zps0f1164bb.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

Post match Shelton Benjamin extends his hand to the two victors, before offering to mentor the two and lead them to tag team gold. Benjamin leaves the ring, and the young tag team partners are left considering his offer.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/ColtCabana_zpsa9b15d4c.jpg</span> vs. <span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/JoeyRyan_zpsc40fb5f4.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

Colt Cabana vs. Joey Ryan</p><p> </p><p>

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Colt Cabana defeated Joey Ryan in 10:55 by pinfall with a Colt .45 to advance into the next round of the WCW World Championship tournament.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/Low-Ki_zps86de264d.jpg</span> vs. <span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/AJStyles_zps8f5c7ba7.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

Low-Ki vs. AJ Styles</p><p> </p><p>

In a match that had some good action and average heat, AJ Styles defeated Low-Ki in 15:02 by pinfall with a Super Styles Clash.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/AJStyles_zps8f5c7ba7.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>AJ Styles:</strong> That was one hell of a match, give it up for Low-Ki!</p><p> </p><p>

The crowd cheers the two competitors</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>AJ Styles:</strong> Now let’s get down to business. For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been here before. I’ve been in that locker room, I’ve been in this ring, and I’ve talked to Eric Bischoff plenty of times. That was then, and this is now.</p><p> </p><p>

Since 2001, since this company flopped, since you went away from the business to pursue other things, I’ve proven myself over and over again. I have one plan here in WCW, and that’s to be number one. To be a hero the fans in attendance can relate to, and to be a mentor to the young kids in the back who want to stand where I’ve stood many of times. </p><p> </p><p>

So you can talk about Alberto Caras all you want Bischoff, because at the end of the day he may be good, but he will never be the phenomenal one.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Tag Team Championship Match</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Bad Influence vs. The Young Bucks</p><p> </p><p>

The main event kicks off with Daniels and Nick Jackson putting on a speed clinic, a series of reversals and counters ends with the Young Bucks getting the upper hand. The tide turns as Kazarian distracts Nick Jackson allowing Christopher Daniels to tag out. Kaz slows down the pace, methodically picking apart one half of the Young Bucks. As he sets Nick up for the Fade To Black, Jackson is able to jump out, and make the hot tag to his brother. After a big kick to Daniels, Frankie Kazarian comes charging at his opponent, however, Matt ducks and is able to pick up the victory with a roll-up pin. The Young Bucks win the WCW World Tag Team titles.</p><p> </p><p>

As the Young Bucks celebrate a hard earned victory, Bad Influence return to the ring and attack the newly crowned champions from behind. Kazerian hits the Fade To Black on Nick, while his partner in crime hits his signature Angel Wings on Matt, leaving the Jackson brothers lying face down as the show goes off the air. </p><p> </p><p>

Show Rating: 56</p></div><p></p><p></p>

WCW Monday Nitro Monday, Week 2 December 8th 2014

NC Cumberland Crown Coliseum

Attendance of 6,792

 

Kicking off the show, a video air showing Chris Hero, Colt Cabana, and AJ Styles each picking up singles victories to advance in the World Championship tournament last week. A graphic flashes on screen, telling us we’ll be seeing three more tournament matches here tonight, including one of next to kick off the show.

 

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/AustinAries_zpsf234e17a.jpg vs. http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/SheltonBenjamin_zps36ef1403.jpg

 

Austin Aries vs. Shelton Benjamin

 

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Austin Aries defeated Shelton Benjamin in 13:35 by pinfall with a 450° Splash, thus moving forward in the world championship tournament.

 

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/ACH_zps0f1164bb.jpghttp://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/WillieMack_zps063cf6a4.jpghttp://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/ZombiePrincess_zps27f206ac.jpg

 

After the match, a camera shows ACH & Willie Mack discussing Shelton Benjamin’s loss, and his offer to be their mentor. As they talk, Jimmy Jacobs approaches the duo.

 

Jimmy Jacobs: Ahh, Mr. Mack, Mr. H, just the two I was looking for.

 

ACH: Uhh, hey?

 

Jimmy Jacobs: I know, I know, we may not have always been friends, per say. But you see, you two have a lot of potential. And I have my way of, well, getting people what they deserve. So I figured, why don’t you two let me take you under my wing? With me by your side, I guarantee you’ll be up there with the Young Bucks and Bad Influence in no time.

 

Willie Mack: Thanks for the offer Jimmy, we do appreciate it. But me and ACH, we’re doing our own thing here.

 

Jimmy Jacobs: I have a feeling you’re going to regret making that decision.

 

Jacobs shakes his head before walking away.

ACH & Willie Mack vs. Chris Hero & Sonjay Dutt

 

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Willie Mack & ACH defeated Chris Hero and Sonjay Dutt in 9:16 when Willie Mack defeated Sonjay Dutt by pinfall with a Chocolate Thunder Bomb.

 

*Note* ACH just can't seem to get over with the fans, they're already tired of seeing him wrestle.

Matt Hardy: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girl, children of alllll ages, please rise because the ICON has arrived.

 

Now, before I send that wannabe pretty boy Adam Cole back to where he belongs, I’d like you to all please give me a warm welcome to your company.

 

Boo’s echo throughout the arena.

The crowd erupts in cheers as Adam Cole enters through the curtains, and cuts right to the chase.

 

Adam Cole: A warm welcome Matt? The only welcoming your getting is the ass kicking I’m about to give you.

 

Cole charges down the aisle and slides into the ring as the two exchange punches before the referee finally gets the two competitors separated, and rings the bell.

Adam Cole vs. Matt Hardy

 

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Matt Hardy defeated Adam Cole in 13:44 by pinfall with a Twist of Fate, securing a spot in the next round of the world championship tournament.

 

After Matt Hardy leaves the ring, out comes Eric Bischoff with a mic in hand.

 

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/EricBischoff_zps6fb39ee6.jpg

 

Eric Bischoff: Adam, I’m impressed. You went out here, and not only stepped up to Matt Hardy, but also put up one hell of a fight. For that exact reason, I’m entering you into the Television Championship match two weeks from now at Starrcade. Just keep in mind, I could use guys like you on my side, and it’s in your best interest to be on my side.

 

Adam Cole, using the ropes to stand stares back at Bischoff.

 

During the commercial break a video plays hyping the WCW Television Championship match at Starrcade. The match will pit Johnny Gargano against Drew Galloway, and now Adam Cole could potentially be included as well.

Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) vs. Teamazing (Matt Sydal & Jack Evans)

 

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Bad Influence defeated Teamazing in 11:27 when Christopher Daniels defeated Matt Sydal by pinfall with an Angel's Wings.

 

As Bad Influence celebrate their win, The Young Bucks come running out from the crowd.

The brothers’ storm the ring, throwing hard punches and kicks as fast as they possibly can at the pair they defeated last week. They follow their onslaught up with simultaneous super kicks to both members of Bad Influence. Matt and Nick Jackson stand over their fallen rivals, and raise their championship belts high over their heads.

Roderick Strong vs. Alberto Caras

 

Alberto Caras starts off the match in control, working over the arms of Strong, clearly looking to end the match using a rolling arm breaker. After a few minutes of slow paced limb targeting, Roderick Strong finally is able to fight back, and hits Caras with a series of suplexes. Strong attempts his signature finisher the Strong Hold (Elevated Boston Crab) Alberto Caras is able to roll over, and hit his opponent with a near jaw-shattering super kick. Somehow, Strong manages to power out at two, and Alberto begins setting up for his Cross Arm Breaker (Rolling arm bar). As Eric Bischoff’s man locks in the submission hold, Roderick does all he can to stay in the match. Thanks to a ton of motivation from the crowd, the former ROH champion is able to lift up his opponent, and in amazing feat of strength, put him up on his shoulders for a Fireman’s Carry Gutbuster. Roderick connects, and falls over top of Alberto, hooking the leg and raising his injured arm high in the air.

NO!

 

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/EricBischoff_zps6fb39ee6.jpg

 

Eric Bischoff pulled his client's foot underneath of the bottom rope while the referee was making the count. Strong leaps to his feet, and begins yelling at Bischoff, going as far as to reach over top of the ropes and grab the owner by his head. Fortunately for Bischoff, Caras is able to get to his feet and hits Roderick Strong with a huge double knee backbreaker, which he follows up with a Bridging German Suplex to pick up the victory, and to advance into the next round of the championship tournament.

 

Bischoff hurries into the ring, and raises the hand of his personal pick for world champ, before asking for a microphone.

 

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/EricBischoff_zps6fb39ee6.jpg

 

Eric Bischoff: AJ Styles, last week you had the balls to step out in this ring, and call me out. Now, normally I not only enjoy that behavior, but I encourage it. However, in case you’ve forgotten, I am the one who signs your paycheck. If you thought making it to the finals of this tournament was going to be hard before, I now personally guarantee it will become hell. I understand you may be the ‘phenomenal one’, but I am the BOSS!

 

Bischoff smiles at his closing comment, before passing the mic off to Alberto Caras.

 

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/AlbertoDelRio_zps58ec4194.jpg

 

Alberto Caras: AJ, holmes. I get that you’re a little jealous of the attention Mr. Bischoff has been paying towards me, but it’s alright, I don’t blame you. You see, I actually hope you do make it to the finals of this tournament, because the only thing better than winning the WCW Heavyweight Championship, would be breaking your arm in the process.

 

Eric Bischoff and Alberto Caras both laugh maniacally as the show goes off of the air.

WCW Monday Nitro Week 3 December 2014

MO Show Me Center

Attendance of 6,108

 

The show kicks off with a video package recapping The Young Bucks tag team championship victory two weeks ago, including a sit down interview with the brothers.

 

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/MattJackson_zpscd3745ce.jpghttp://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/NickJackson_zps1f1de3da.jpg

 

Matt Jackson: In all honesty, it was a really humbling experience. Not only to win the championship, but to do it here in front of all the fans.

 

Nick Jackson: And going over Bad Influence, they’re a great team, so I feel like we definitely proved our worth by doing so.

 

We then see the attacks by Bad Influence, both before the title match, and afterwards.

 

Matt Jackson: Unfortunately, Bad Influence had to take it too far.

 

Nick Jackson: We’re all for friendly competition, but when there’s championship gold on the line, taking a short cut like that makes you cowards.

 

Matt Jackson: And because of that, not only will I beat Daniels around that ring tonight, but come Starrcade, well.

 

Nick Jackson: We'll show just how much of a Bad Influence they really are.

Matt Jackson vs. Christopher Daniels

 

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Matt Jackson defeated Christopher Daniels in 12:04 by pinfall with a Moonsault. During the match we also saw Nick Jackson run in and attack Daniels, and Frankie Kazarian also attack Matt Jackson.

Adam Cole vs. Johnny Gargano

 

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Adam Cole defeated Johnny Gargano in 13:55 by pinfall with a Flying Cross Body.

 

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/AdamCole_zps9d18d028.jpg

 

Adam Cole is seen walking down the hallway, slapping hi-5’s to random personal in the back, before coming face to face with the 6’5 Scottsman, Drew Galloway.

 

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/DrewMcIntyre_alt_zps6ceacfbc.jpg

 

Drew Galloway: Aye, Adam mate. I wouldn’t get so excited if I were you. You may of just beat Johnny, but he’s a nobody. Me, I’m freakin’ Drew Galloway, and you won’t stand a chance when we face off for the Television title.

 

Adam Cole: Seriously? You of all people? (Laughing) Didn’t I see you dressed up as a pirate a few years ago?

 

Drew Galloway: You wanna act hard? Well how’s about we have ourselves a little wager then. If I can beat Gargano next week, in less time than you beat him in, I get to pick the stipulation for our match at Starrcade.

 

Adam Cole: Arggh, mattie. Whatever you want, I’m winning the title either way.

 

As Adam Cole turns to leave, Galloway flattens him with a huge clothesline from behind, security rushes in to pull him away from a downed Adam Cole.

Willie Mack vs. Jimmy Jacobs

 

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Willie Mack defeated Jimmy Jacobs in 8:45 when Jimmy Jacobs was disqualified when Shelton Benjamin ran in and attacked Willie Mack.

 

Jacobs and Shelton Benjamin continue to beat down Willie post match, and eventually it’s Mack’s partner ACH who comes spriting down the aisle to make the save.

However, as ACH hits the ring, the lights flicker off, and when they lit back up, the cavalry was laying face down in the ring, with both Jimmy Jacobs and Shelton Benjamin standing overtop. Jacobs grabs a microphone, and simply mutters the words “I warned you.” Before disappearing through the crowd.

Alberto Caras vs. Chris Hero

 

In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, Alberto Caras defeated Chris Hero in 18:51 by pinfall with a Bridging German Suplex, to move into the finals of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament.

 

As Caras is walking up the ramp post match, AJ Styles starts making his way down, without hesitation.

 

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/AJStyles_zps8f5c7ba7.jpg

 

He looks Caras up and down, seemingly sizing him up, before mock lunging, causing his rival to flinch. Alberto hurried up the ramp, as nasty chants directed towards him began raining down from the fans in attendance.

AJ Styles vs. Austin Aries vs. Colt Cabana vs. Matt Hardy

 

The match started out with a frantic pace, as all four competitors threw everything they had had each other, each man trying to get the upper hand. Styles hit a Pele kick on Hardy, while Aries connected with a huge discus elbow on Cabana, leaving the two TNA alumni alone in the ring momentarily. They stared each other down, before tying up, and exchanging grapples.

 

It wasn’t long lasted however, as Matt Hardy returned to the ring, blasting Styles from behind, and hitting Aries with the side effect before covering for the pin.

1…

2…

No!

 

It’s broken up by Cabana, who has finally recovered from the elbow. Cabana goes to work on Hardy, looking to wear him down, as Aries does the same to Styles on the opposite side of the ring. A double suplex leaves Styles rolling to the outside, looking to regain his composure. Inside of the ring, Hardy ducks a clothesline from Cabana, who instead hits Aries, ending their short time working as a team. Cabana turns around, and is able to hit Hardy with a Colt .45. Aries gets back to his feet, and tosses Cabana over the top rope, before going top-rope for a 450 splash on Hardy. Aries goes for the cover…

 

1…

2…

No!

 

Styles breaks it up, and goes for the Calf Killer on Aries. Aries hollers in pain, as Styles cranks the hold tighter and tighter. Cabana re-enters the ring, and breaks up the hold. He then applies a submission of his own, the Chicago Crab on Styles. The hold is short lived, however, as Matt Hardy who has now returned to the ring breaks it up with a dropkick to Cabana. Hardy turns around into a Brainbuster from Aries, who’s met with a Styles Clash from AJ Styles.

1…

2…

3!

AJ Styles has won the match! He’s going to Starrcade to compete for the title!

 

Styles exits the ring, and re-enters with a steel chair in one hand, and a microphone in the other. He sets the chair up, and takes a seat.

 

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/AJStyles_zps8f5c7ba7.jpg

 

AJ Styles: Caras, Bischoff, I hope you were both watching because come…

 

Before Styles can continue, Caras hits the ring with Roderick Strong, who has apparently joined forces with Bischoff, by his side.

 

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/AlbertoDelRio_zps58ec4194.jpghttp://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag457/Rampaaage/RoderickStrong_zps0196e63c.jpg

 

The pair begin beating Styles down, as the boss threatens to fire anyway who attempts to interrupt the attack.

 

Finally, after Alberto Caras locked on the Cross Arm Breaker for what felt like many minutes, Styles is able to roll out of the ring, and is helped up the ramp. The fans are left with the sight of the baby face nursing his possibly broken arm.
