[WCW, 1991] Riding Out The Storms

angeldelayette · July 12, 2016

Background Information

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to read this first post in this brand new diary. This diary will be focused on WCW in the year 1991. This begins around two weeks after Starrcade 1990 where the Black Scorpion was revealed as 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair. Due to this whole debacle, Ole Anderson was removed as the Head Booker of WCW and Jim Herd was removed as the Executive Vice President. Herd has been moved to another division within TBS and WCW went looking for a new head booker. They wanted someone who was not a wrestling guy to help run things. That is where the new Head Booker and Executive Vice President came from. Enter the former AWA announcer and former salesman, Eric Bischoff. He has a little bit of wrestling experience but is not truly a wrestling guy. Ted Turner and his group hope that this will make him a great asset to World Championship Wrestling.

For those wondering, I do still have my USPW diary. That diary is located here: USPW: Staying At Number One It is on a brief hiatus as writing a Royal Rumble style match takes some time and I really have to be in the mood for writing that style of match. But that diary is definitely still lingering around. I have no plans to restart it or anything. When I get into my USPW mood, I will have that match popped out, I'm sure.

Thank you to those who are reading and I hope you enjoy my next step forward riding out the storms...

OOC: Just a couple of quick notes. I have removed Worldwide and kept the WCW Power Hour as the B-Show for World Championship Wrestling. Also, the Power Hour will not have the same type of write-ups as WCW Saturday Night. It will be a short write-up as shown here. It will, also, not be part of any prediction contests. I hope everyone enjoys!

===

WCW POWER HOUR! (B-Show)

Friday Week 1 January 1991

Location: Columbus Municipal Auditorium (South East)

Attendance: 3,781

Overall Rating: C+

TV Rating: .27

-In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Owen Hart(C-) defeated Rip Rogers(D) in 5:55 by pinfall with a Missile Dropkick...C-

-We move from the ring to the Wrestling News Network hosted by Gordon Solie. Solie talks about the York Foundation and their arrival here in WCW. He sends it to an interview with Alexandra York. York states that she has a brand new member of The York Foundation to announce. That newest member of The York Foundation is none other than Terrence Taylor. Taylor steps into view of the camera, moving beside Alexandra York. He calls himself The Taylor Made Man and he says that 1991 is going to be a banner year for The York Foundation.

-In a terrible match, The Master Blasters(S-D-, B-E+) defeated The Italian Stallion(D) and Pez Whatley(E) in 5:45 when Master Blaster Steel defeated The Italian Stallion by pinfall with a Big Boot...D-

-Gordon Solie is back in the Wrestling News Network. He announces that the Clash of the Champions will be here later this month on TBS. It will include men like Sting defending the NWA World Heavyweight title against an as-of-yet unnamed opponent. It will also feature Lex Luger defending the NWA United States title against Sid Vicious. But back to the World title picture, he sends things to an interview with 'The Nature Boy' Buddy Landel. Landel says that he is tired of sitting on the sidelines. He wants to be in action on WCW Saturday Night. He challenges the World Champion, Sting, to meet him in the ring. He says that when they face each other, he will prove that he is the best Nature Boy in WCW.

-In a decent match, Ricky Morton© defeated Bobby Eaton(C+) in 5:42 when Bobby Eaton was disqualified when Michael Hayes ran in and attacked Ricky Morton...B-

-Following the contest, The Fabulous Freebirds assault Ricky Morton. They bring him to the mat with a double vertical suplex. Then they go for the Double DDT but out from the back comes Tommy Rich! Wildfire clears the ring following some well-timed punches. The announcers let everyone know that we will have a Starrcade rematch this Saturday night on WCW Saturday Night when The Fabulous Freebirds take on Ricky Morton and Tommy Rich. The winning team will face Doom for the NWA World Tag Team titles at the Clash of the Champions.

-The announcers put over the fact that we'll be seeing Ric Flair take on Scott Steiner this Saturday night on WCW Saturday Night.

-In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, The Steiner Brothers(R-B-, S-B-) defeated Big Cat(D) and Motor City Madman(D-) in 9:34 when Scott Steiner defeated Motor City Madman by pinfall with a Steinerizer. The Steiner Brothers make defence number 5 of their NWA United States Tag Team titles...C+

-Following the victory, The Steiner Brothers celebrate in the ring with their NWA United States Tag Team titles. As they are celebrating, The York Foundation hits the ring. They assault The Steiner Brothers from behind with Michael Wallstreet catching Scott Steiner with a Stock Market Crash. On the other side of the ring, Terrence Taylor hits Rick Steiner with the Five-Arm, now known as The Taylor Made Forearm. Alexandra York picks up the belts and hands them over to The York Foundation members. They raise the titles as the crowd boos loudly. The announcers welcome us to watch WCW Saturday Night tomorrow night where Scott Steiner will step in singles action to take on Ric Flair. We'll see you then!

We have a main event featuring two men who will be part of February's War Games at Wrestlewar. These two men are the former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair and current NWA United States Tag Team Champion Scott Steiner. Both of these men are no strangers to each other, having gone one on one in the past and in tag team action. Who will gain some momentum this week on WCW Saturday Night? -Last Friday night on WCW Power Hour, 'The Nature Boy' Buddy Landel issued a challenge to NWA World Heavyweight Champion Sting. Landel says that he wants to prove that he is the best Nature Boy in the business. Sting has accepted the challenge and the match is set between these two athletes for WCW Saturday Night. But this will be a non-title match. However, if Landel wins the match, he should be in line for a title shot. -Commentator Paul E. Dangerously has let us know that he plans to make a statement on this edition of WCW Satuday Night. He would not go into what the statement was about. However, with his big mouth and ego, you can bet that this statement will rock World Championship Wrestling to it's very core. -We will be having a #1 contenders match for the NWA World Tag Team Titles. The winner of this contest will face Doom at Clash of the Champions XIV: Dixie Dynamite. The two teams in this contest will be the former NWA World Tag Team Champions The Fabulous Freebirds and the team of Ricky Morton and Tommy Rich. Morton and Rich defeated The Freebirds at Starrcade 1990. Can they get the win again here on WCW Saturday Night and secure a spot at the Clash or will The Freebirds get the opportunity to wrestle the titles away from Doom? -Plus Terrence Taylor, The Four Horsemen, Lex Luger, Bobby Eaton and more. Make sure you tune in!

Can't see the name of this thread without thinking of...

Lex Luger - A beautiful Racking.

Morton/Rich - This team has potential to give Doom a good run for their money.

Terrence Taylor - The new jewel of the York Foundation picks up a nice win.

Sid Vicious - JYD won't be able to physically do a powerbomb, but Sid still wins.

Sting - Easy win over the not-quite-Nature-Boy.

Ric Flair - The Nature Boy picks up a big one en route to another potential match against The Stinger.

Always good to see you back fighting the good fight, angel!

But my heart belongs with WCW. This will, hopefully, be a good one here. I am trying to severely limit my signings, unlike what I've done before. And I've done a good job of it so far with only one signing of a wrestler in the first month.

justtxyank · July 13, 2016

Glad to see you take up a 91 diary. Will definitely be following.

Prediction Listing

Non-Title Match

15 Minute Time Limit Match

Bobby Eaton vs. Lex Luger

Comments: This is easy to predict for most, but really in 1991 Eaton is still a really good worker and an important part of the card. Hopefully he looks strong in defeat.

#1 Contenders Match

15 Minute Time Limit Match

The Fabulous Freebirds vs. Ricky Morton & Tommy Rich

Comments: Tommy Rich lasted longer than he should have. Same for the Freebirds, but at least they have some value.

10 Minute Time Limit Match

Terrence Taylor vs. Keith Hart

Comments: Not really, no.

10 Minute Time Limit Match

Sid Vicious vs. Junkyard Dog

Comments: JYD is a favorite of mine, but this is what he's good for now. Quick jobs to make stars look better.

Non-Title Match

15 Minute Time Limit Match

Buddy Landel vs. Sting

Comments: Stinger Splash!

20 Minute Time Limit Match

Ric Flair vs. Scott Steiner

Comments: Should be a good matchup. Scott Steiner could even have a "future is now" type run if you want to give it to him, but this early? Probably not.

This is an amazing labor of love and I have to give thanks to you for your work on it. I hope that I can truly live up to the standards of this mod with my (one-starred) diary. Without giving up any spoilers, I can definitely say that Bobby Eaton is still a good hand here in 1991. Without a doubt, I have plans for him that make sure he is no jobber or anything of the like. It helps that I've met the man in person and he was absolutely down to earth and a great guy.

It's one of few frustrating things about this board:: the "down-rating" isn't done out of immaturity, but of malice. TFC, Phantom Stranger and Anderz are much less likely to be downvoted, yet are similarly popular. I just accept it as a fact of life at this point. I'm very much looking forward to watching Angel work his magic with WCW. I'm sort of hoping Flair follows the way out in real life -- I know Angel can easily beat WWF without the "Nature Boy", but once he leaves the company can be built into an entirely new entity.

<div style="text-align:center;">WCW SATURDAY NIGHT! Saturday Week 1 January 1991 Location: Capital Centre (Mid Atlantic) Attendance: 17,870 Overall Rating: B+ TV Rating: 2.90 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RicFlair.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/ArnAnderson.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/BarryWindham.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/SidVicious.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/ZMan.jpg [WCW Saturday Night opens with the theme to 2001: A Space Odyssey playing in the background. The crowd is split as they are on their feet, watching The Four Horsemen walk out from the back and to the ring. Three of the four men are dressed in custom made suits, while Sid Vicious is dressed in his wrestling trunks. The difference between Vicious and the rest of the group is rather obvious. Ric Flair grabs the microphone and says that he heard there's a party going down in Landover tonight. But it's too bad for the fans that The Horsemen don't party in nothing towns like Landover. He says that when tonight's show ends, the Horsemen are going to get into their limousine, drive to the airport, climb into their exclusive Learjet and get out of this town as quickly as possible. But, before they leave tonight, the Horsemen are going to show this city what greatness is all about. Whooo! That greatness is going to take Scott Steiner to school tonight because he needs to remember that to be the man, you have to beat the man and Ric Flair is always the man. Whooo! Ric Flair says that he is the man that wears custom made clothes and lives in a big house on the big side of town. Scott Steiner is stepping in the path of the greatest wrestler of all time. Whooo! Arn Anderson steps forward and undoes his suit jacket, revealing the NWA World Television title belt around his waist. The announcers are surprised, as that belt belongs to the Z-Man. Anderson says that he is the true NWA World Television Champion. He says that he earned the belt earlier today. He tells them to roll the footage and a video begins to play.] [The video begins to roll, showing a shaky cam view inside of a vehicle. The camera shows all four members of the Horsemen inside the vehicle as it drives along a busy street. The camera turns and focuses outside the vehicle and we see a gas station up ahead. Walking inside the mini mart attached to the gas station is Z-Man! The Horsemen's vehicle turns into the gas station and all four men plus the cameraman get out and go inside the mini mart. Z-Man is grabbing a Gatorade when he is struck from behind by Sid Vicious! Vicious rams Z-Man into the fridge section from which he just grabbed the Gatorade. Drinks spill all over the floor. Then Vicious shoves Z-Man right toward Arn Anderson -- Double A Spinebuster! He hit a Spinebuster on that hard floor! Z-Man cries out in pain and all four members of the Horsemen take turns putting the boots to Z-Man! Screams inside the mini mart can be heard as people rush away from the fight. Sid Vicious grabs Z-Man and tucks him between his legs -- Power Bomb! The Z-Man was power bombed on the hard floor! Z-Man is unconscious! Double A smiles and grabs the World Television title that fell during the attack. Anderson tells Z-Man that this is why you never mess with a Horseman. When you mess with one Horseman, you mess with all of them. He puts an additional boot to Z-Man before all four members of the Horsemen walk off and the video fades to black.] [We cut back to the Horsemen inside the ring. Arn Anderson has a wide smile on his face from having watched the video. The crowd is booing loudly after witnessing that unprovoked attack on Z-Man. Arn Anderson says that Z-Man cannot defend the television title due to injuries suffered in that attack. Therefore it should go back to him as the former champion. That just makes sense, right? He, also, warns that he'd like someone to try and take the belt from him. They will suffer the same fate as the Z-Man. Barry Windham steps forward and says that tonight, he, the NWA World Television Champion Arn Anderson and Sid Vicious will all be here to watch the back of Ric Flair against Scott Steiner. He warns Rick Steiner not to get involved in Horsemen business tonight. He says that they will take him out like they took out Z-Man or worse. At least Z-Man might actually be able to wrestle again one day. Sid Vicious remains the quiet muscle in the background as Ric Flair steps forward again and says that tonight he's going to walk that aisle and style and profile. Tonight, The Nature Boy proves, once again, that he deserves a World title shot. He says that with or without the World title, he is the Nature Boy. Oh lord it's hard to be humble when you're the best. Whooo! Flair's music begins again and the Horsemen raise four fingers, turning to exit the ring and head to the back.]</div><div style="text-align:right;"></div><div></div></blockquote> COMING TONIGHT http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RicFlair.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/USPW_14/VS.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/ScottSteiner.jpg Match #1 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/BobbyEaton.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/USPW_14/VS.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/LexLuger.jpg<div style="text-align:center;"></div> Non-Title Match 15 Minute Time Limit Match Bobby Eaton vs. Lex Luger [Our first match of the evening features two veteran competitors in Beautiful Bobby Eaton and The Total Package Lex Luger. Eaton does a lot of selling in this contest, making Luger look like a million bucks when Luger is in control. However, Eaton does have some control in this bout, bringing Luger to the mat with a swinging neckbreaker that scores a two count. Eaton maintains control with a few restholds, like a rear chinlock and a sleeper but Luger refuses to submit or be knocked out. Around the eight minute mark, Eaton brings Luger down with a vertical suplex and then heads to the top turnbuckle. Eaton stands on the top turnbuckle, measuring the Total Package. He goes for the Alabama Jam but Luger raises a leg, catching Eaton on the jaw with the boot. Eaton staggers backward, catching himself in a corner just to keep on his feet. The crowd is solidly behind The Total Package as he begins his comeback. He strikes Eaton with several clotheslines in a row and then shows his power with a press slam on Beautiful Bobby. Luger plays to the crowd for a moment and then catches Eaton with a running kneelift. He sends Eaton to the ropes -- Powerslam! Luger begins making the signal for his finisher, getting the crowd on their feet. He picks up Eaton and lifts him on his shoulders -- Human Torture Rack! Eaton struggles for a moment before being forced to submit.] Winner: Lex Luger (Via Submission @ 11:13) Match Rating: B</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/TeddyLong.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/ButchReed.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RonSimmons.jpg<div style="text-align:right;"></div> [A video begins to play where we see Teddy Long standing by with the muscular NWA World Tag Team Champions Doom. Long begins the promo by telling the WCW fans to take a good look at these two men standing by him. There's a 6'2" 262 pound monster on one side and a 6'2" 270 pound former All American football player on the other side. These two men represent the best tag team that any of you will ever see. They are better than the Fabulous Freebirds. They are better than Ricky Morton and Tommy Rich. So it doesn't matter who wins the match tonight between those two teams. All they are deciding is which team is going to lose to Doom at the Clash of the Champions. Teddy Long says that he can tell you that Doom are not afraid of either of those teams. They fear no team in WCW, the NWA or anywhere else they might compete. They even beat the Horsemen at Starrcade no matter what those biased referees say. These are the World Tag Team champions, after all. So if they have the belts then they must be the winners, right? Doom is the best representation of the world from one side to the other. Long concludes the interview by saying that whether it's the Freebirds or Rich and Morton, they will meet their Doom at Clash of the Champions. You can take that to the bank.]</div></blockquote> Match #2 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/MichaelHayes.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/JimmyGarvin.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/DiamondDallasPage.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/USPW_14/VS.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RickyMorton.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/TommyRich.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RobertGibsonM.jpg<div style="text-align:center;"></div> #1 Contenders Match 15 Minute Time Limit Match The Fabulous Freebirds vs. Ricky Morton and Tommy Rich [back in the ring for more WCW action. The next bout features The Fabulous Freebirds against Ricky Morton and Tommy Rich in a rematch from Starrcade 1990 where Morton and Rich picked up the victory. This contest has a whole lot more riding on it as the winning team will face Doom at the Clash of the Champions: Dixie Dynamite for the NWA World Tag Team titles. This match is definitely affected by some hard drugs taken by Tommy Rich and a drunk Jimmy Garvin. It is so obvious at one point because Garvin dropped off the apron and began chatting with some female in the front row. With that said, the majority of the match features Ricky Morton and Michael Hayes in the ring to cover up for their partners. Five minutes into the match, Hayes catches Morton with a bulldog and makes the cover, scoring only a two count because Morton gets his foot on the bottom rope. Tommy Rich and Jimmy Garvin both stumble into the ring and throw a few punches to each other before they both tumble out to the ringside mats. This definitely distracts Michael Hayes and allows Ricky Morton to get back into the contest. Morton lifts Hayes and brings him down with a body slam and then a splash off the ropes to score a two count. Morton waits for Hayes to reach his feet and then hits Hayes with a dropkick. Ricky Morton heads to the top turnbuckle -- Diving Cross Body! Morton hooks the leg: One, Two, Three! Ricky Morton and Tommy Rich are headed to the Clash of the Champions to face Doom for the World Tag Team titles! But the question on everyone's minds has to be will Tommy Rich get sober?] Winners: Ricky Morton and Tommy Rich (Via Pinfall @ 11:57) Match Rating: C+</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/AlexandraYork.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/TerrenceTaylor.jpg<div style="text-align:right;"></div> [Another video promo begins to play.

She says that Hart might be a good wrestler but he is going to be no match for Terrence Taylor tonight in this ring. She says that as long as Terrence Taylor does as the computer says that he will defeat Keith Hart tonight in less than seven minutes and thirty seconds. Then he will move on to the Clash of the Champions at the end of the month where he will team with Michael Wallstreet to take on The Steiner Brothers for the NWA United States Tag Team titles. She says that those belts will be just the beginning for The York Foundation. While The Steiners might have blood on their side, technology always beats blood. She says that, with this computer, 1991 will be the year of The York Foundation.

One man who does not have a match at the Clash but will be making his in-ring WCW debut next week is this man, 'The Natural' Dustin Rhodes. Solie cuts us to an interview with the second generation wrestler, Dustin Rhodes. Rhodes says that he is very proud to be making his professional wrestling debut next week right here in a WCW ring. He says that he hopes to make his father proud here in WCW and if he shows half the talent that his father has then he knows he will do well here. He talks about WCW being where the big boys play and says he will make sure that he gives everything he has in his debut next week.

At ringside, Alexandra York is constantly typing information into her laptop during this contest. She has to make sure that the computer is updated with up-to-date information. Though the match was a well-executed squash match, it did have little heat as Taylor dominated throughout the contest. Taylor catches Hart with a neckbreaker early in the bout, scoring a two count but Hart shows that he has a lot of heart in kicking out. The only brief momentum that Hart has is when he reverses a rear chinlock into a jawbreaker. He sends Taylor to the ropes and ducks his head but Taylor comes over with a sunset flip for a two count. Quickly, Taylor hooks Hart in a Boston Crab, sitting back in it but Hart refuses to submit. Hart shakes his head, trying to drag them to the ropes. Taylor shows his smarts when he stands up slightly and moves the Boston Crab back to the center of the ring. After having the hold on for about a minute, Taylor releases and puts a few boots to Hart. Taylor picks up Hart and smashes him head-first into the top turnbuckle before lifting him up and bringing him down with a body slam. Taylor shows his wrestling skill when he brings Hart over with a double underhook suplex. Taylor yells at a member of the audience in the front row before he picks up Hart and sends him to the ropes -- Taylor Made Forearm! Taylor makes a lax cover: One, Two, Three! Taylor wins within the time frame that Alexandra York set up earlier.

He says that he is the smartest man in professional wrestling and the most man's man out of anyone here in World Championship Wrestling. That is why he has made the decision to return to managing after being the world's greatest commentator. This means that there are now slots open in the Dangerous Alliance. Dangerously says that he plans on doing some scouting and only the best of the best will even get an invitation to join the Dangerous Alliance. He says that he will be leading competitors to every single title here in WCW and the NWA.

JYD drops on his knees, barking and crawling around the ring. Then he climbs up and begins raining several punches to the skull of Vicious as the crowd counts along. At seven, Vicious begins walking from the corner and drops JYD with an inverted atomic drop and then a clothesline that brings JYD to the mat. The member of the Horsemen yells at the audience, telling them that he is the master and the ruler of the world. Vicious stays in control, maintaining that control for two more minutes before he locks JYD in a bear hug. JYD refuses to submit and the crowd gets behind him. The crowd claps and stomps their feet, getting the adrenaline flowing in the Junkyard Dog. JYD begins firing back, throwing headbutts and punches to break the bear hug. JYD strikes Vicious with a clothesline, staggering Vicious backward. JYD bounces off the ropes -- ducks a Vicious clothesline! JYD comes back and goes for a cross body block but he gets caught by Vicious. Vicious brings JYD down with a backbreaker over his knee. Vicious raises four fingers and then picks up JYD, tucking him between his legs. The announcers are in disbelief as Vicious picks up JYD -- Power Bomb! What power shown by Sid Vicious!

However, he says that Anderson probably isn't going to like what he has been forced to say. Bischoff says that after that video played earlier tonight, the WCW Championship Committee had an emergency meeting to discuss what to do about the Television title. He says that he needs to inform Arn Anderson that he is NOT the Television Champion. Anderson's eyes go wide and he begins yelling off-microphone. He grabs Bischoff by the tuxedo shirt, looking prepared to kill the messenger. Bischoff looks scared but Anderson does not get physical with Bischoff, releasing him after a few moments. Bischoff says that he needs to inform Anderson that until he returns the belt to the Championship Committee, he is suspended from wrestling action in accordance with the Championship Committee. Bischoff adds that there will be a tournament to determine a new Television Champion.

If Landel can pick up the win in this contest, he definitely would be setting himself up for a World title match against The Stinger. The pace is quickened in the early going of the match with Sting catching Landel with a dropkick and then a press slam that brings Landel down hard to the mat. Sting with a series of clotheslines on Landel and then moves in but Landel cuts off the momentum by ducking into the ropes.

But he hasn't been in WCW before. Just what is he doing here? Backlund enters the ring and offers his right hand to Sting. Sting shakes hands with Backlund, knowing that Backlund is generally a man who can be trusted. Backlund picks up a microphone and says that he wanted to come out here and congratulate Sting on this victory tonight. He says that Sting is someone who has always lived on the side of right and the side of justice. He says that Sting is a champion of which you can be proud. He says that Sting is like him in many ways. He drops the microphone and raises Sting's arm, turning to all four sides of the ring. He points to Sting, celebrating with the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Sting turns to exit the ring and suddenly Bob Backlund grabs him from behind! A shocked Sting is locked in the Crossface Chickenwing! The crowd boos as Backlund drops onto his back, cinching the hold in tight on the man who has already wrestled once tonight. Sting is already worn out and now he is suffering from the Crossface Chickenwing, a deadly finishing move. Backlund screams in the ear of Sting as he stretches him out in the center of the ring. The announcers are surprised at this uncalled for assault by Bob Backlund. What has happened to the man who everyone used to be able to trust? Jim Ross says he never thought he would be talking this way about Bob Backlund. It takes several wrestlers and officials to break the hold, leaving Sting down on the mat.

Suddenly, Steiner grabs Flair around the waist -- Overhead Belly-To-Belly Suplex! Flair is thrown across the ring by Scott Steiner! Flair begs off in the corner and Steiner moves in to that corner slowly and cautiously, showing some veteran instincts. Steiner throws a couple of punches to Flair and then sends Flair to the ropes -- Steiner-Line! Another Steiner-Line! Scott Steiner is on a roll. Flair rolls under the bottom rope and steps back to the guardrail, needing a breather after that burst of early momentum by Scott Steiner. Flair paces at ringside as Scott Steiner remains in the ring, watching The Nature Boy. Flair rolls into the ring at a count of nine and moves toward Scott Steiner. He pokes Steiner in the eye and then pushes him back in a corner -- knife-edge chop! Flair chops the chest of the United States Tag Team Champion. Another chop to the chest! The crowd is chanting 'Whooo' with each chop. A third one has Steiner staggering out of the corner. Flair moves in behind Steiner and catches him with a chop block to the right knee. Steiner goes down to the mat and Flair begins his attention on the right knee of Steiner. Flair yanks hard on the leg and then places the knee over the bottom rope. He lifts up and then drops on the knee, causing Steiner immense pain. The pain can be seen on Steiner's face. Flair moves Steiner to a corner and then exits the ring. He grabs the right leg of Steiner and slams the knee against the ring post! Steiner reaches down, grabbing the knee in pain. Flair struts at ringside and then drags Steiner under the bottom rope to ringside. He fires off three straight knife-edge chops. Steiner fights back with some punches, knocking Flair backward against the guardrail. He moves in and lifts Flair for a body slam but Flair rakes the eyes of the United States Tag Team Champion. Flair lands on his feet and Irish whips Steiner into the steel steps, catching his knee on those steps. Flair tosses Steiner back in the ring and then slides back into the ring himself. He drags Steiner to the center of the ring and then bounces off the ropes -- Running Knee Drop! The crowd stands in anticipation as Flair grabs the legs of Steiner, calling for the Figure Four! He tries to lock in the hold but leans down too far and Steiner reverses into a small package. The crowd counts along with the referee. Will we see a three count?...] [....1.... ....2.... ..Kickout!] [Ric Flair barely kicked out of that small package by Scott Steiner! What an upset that could have been right here on WCW Saturday Night. An angry Flair puts the boots to Steiner before Steiner can get to his feet. Flair begins choking Steiner with his boot, breaking at a four count as the referee threatens to disqualify The Nature Boy. Flair makes a motion and the Horsemen begin walking from the back to stand at ringside. Arn Anderson no longer has the NWA World Television title belt so the announcers speculate that he has returned it to the Championship Committee to avoid a suspension. With the Horsemen at ringside, Rick Steiner walks down to stand in his brother's corner. It might not even the odds but it makes for better odds for Scott Steiner. Inside the ring, Flair continues to focus on the knee of Steiner. He lifts Steiner to his feet and sends him to the ropes. Flair ducks his head down but Steiner stops short. He hooks Flair with the double underhook -- Double Underhook Power Bomb! Steiner makes the cover: One, Two, Foot On The Bottom Rope! Steiner stands up, limping slightly on that hurt right knee. Steiner picks up Flair and Irish whips him into the corner -- Flair flips up and over the turnbuckle, landing on the apron. Flair runs along the apron -- Steiner-Line by Scott Steiner! Flair drops on the apron and Steiner grabs him, pulling him up -- Steiner brings Flair back in the ring with a vertical suplex! Steiner picks up Flair and sends him to the ropes -- Tilt-A-Whirl Slam! The crowd cheers and the nearly 18,000 WCW fans are on their feet! Steiner makes a signal for the Frankensteiner! It looks like he's going to try and put Flair away! If he hits this, he will surely win the match, right? But there is a distraction that keeps him from going for the Frankensteiner. Arn Anderson climbs on the apron, drawing the attention of the referee and Scott Steiner. Flair comes over and shoves Steiner into the referee! Referee Nick Patrick is knocked to the mat for a brief moment. Flair grabs Steiner by the arms and turns as Sid Vicious enters the ring. Barry Windham takes out Rick Steiner at ringside with a blind-side clothesline. Rick never saw the attack coming. In the ring, Vicious goes for a clothesline on Scott Steiner but Steiner ducks and Vicious hits Flair instead! Steiner catches Vicious with a Steiner-Line that sends him over the top rope to the floor at ringside. Steiner turns his attention to Flair. He signals for the Frankensteiner for the second time, sending Flair to the ropes but there's one person that he must have forgotten about -- Arn Anderson catches Scott Steiner with a shoulder to the knee before Scott can hit the Frankensteiner. The announcers let everyone know that there's three minutes left in the time limit. Arn Anderson helps Ric Flair to his feet. Flair bounces off the ropes and catches Steiner with a kneedrop across the right knee. Ric Flair struts along the ring before he locks in the Figure Four leglock! Flair uses the ropes to gain some extra leverage! Arn Anderson revives the official and Nick Patrick asks Scott Steiner if he submits. One minute left on the time limit! There is only one minute left! Steiner refuses to give in to the Figure Four! Flair grabs the ropes again, adding extra leverage and with twenty nine seconds left in the time limit, Scott Steiner is forced to submit. It was either that or, perhaps, suffer some permanent damage to his knee with the Clash on the horizon.] Winner: Ric Flair (Via Submission @ 19:31) Match Rating: B</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RicFlair.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/ArnAnderson.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/BarryWindham.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/SidVicious.jpg<div style="text-align:right;"></div> [As the bell sounds, The Four Horsemen enter the ring. Ric Flair releases the Figure Four leglock but puts a few boots to Scott Steiner for good measure. Scott Steiner is tossed out of the ring by Sid Vicious, leaving the ring only occupied by these four veteran wrestlers. Rick Steiner manages to pull himself up and help his brother to the back. The crowd mostly boos the four men in the ring, though, there are a few cheers here and there and a few fans raising four fingers. But the crowd is definitely overwhelmingly against the Horsemen. Ric Flair begins strutting across the ring and releases a 'Whooo!' as the Horsemen stand tall in the center of the ring on this WCW Saturday Night. The announcers remind everyone to tune in to WCW Power Hour this Friday night to learn more about the NWA World Television title tournament, including some of the wrestlers who are involved in the tournament. We will, also, have a rare NWA World Title match on the Power Hour this Friday night so make sure you tune in! Back inside the ring, The Horsemen raise four fingers as they celebrate Ric Flair's victory tonight. The show comes to a close with the Horsemen standing tall. We'll see you all on the Power Hour!]</div></blockquote></div>

Instead of every three months as I usually do, I will be running the prediction contest every single month. This could change as we move forward but right now I think this will be a fun way to do things. For those of you who might be new to my diaries and the way I handle prediction contests, here is a brief breakdown. The person or people who score the most correct in their predictions each week receive one win. For an example, Beejus and horseman4lyfe both had perfect scores this week on their predictions. Therefore, they both receive one win in the prediction contest. These wins will reset at the end of the month which is the end of the prediction contest cycle. Here is how things stand following Week 1. 1. Beejus=1 Win horseman4lyfe=1 Win 3.

It's great to see you here. Thank you for the predictions and the comments. I always LOVE reading the comments. Scott Steiner definitely gave Ric Flair a run for his money in this match. If not for the Horsemen interference, who knows what Scott might have done. It is great to be back doing a WCW dynasty. They were always my favorite company in real life. I hope that I can do them justice here as we move forward. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="justtxyank" data-cite="justtxyank" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>What is with the one star bandit</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="KnowYourEnemy" data-cite="KnowYourEnemy" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Angel has faced a fair amount of criticism (I believe unfair) for an alleged "lack of sticking to a project" -- my opinion is that certain "board veterans" down-rate his projects as a result. It's one of few frustrating things about this board:: the "down-rating" isn't done out of immaturity, but of malice. TFC, Phantom Stranger and Anderz are much less likely to be downvoted, yet are similarly popular. I just accept it as a fact of life at this point. I'm very much looking forward to watching Angel work his magic with WCW. I'm sort of hoping Flair follows the way out in real life -- I know Angel can easily beat WWF without the "Nature Boy", but once he leaves the company can be built into an entirely new entity.</div></blockquote> As KnowYourEnemy put it, I do believe that the whole one star thing has to do with my past rather than the current dynasty. If it is actually about the current dynasty then I would love to know more information. Does someone not like my format, perhaps? Or maybe there's an anti-WCW coalition somewhere? LOL. I am very grateful for people like you, KnowYourEnemy. You have been a great friend and been a help with my diary simply through your predictions. As far as Flair leaving the company goes, it would be difficult for me to part with him. But that is simply because he is my favorite wrestler of all-time. I've met him in person several times when I used to live in Charlotte. Will he leave the company when the time comes that he did so in real life? That remains to be seen. I will have to cross that bridge when I get there in the game. Either way, I am hoping to be a major threat to the WWF. I still have enough talent on the roster to compete with Vince and eventually there will be more coming into the company. One thing I am trying to do in particular is to keep my signings to a minimum for a couple of reasons. There is the fact that WCW already has a large roster so I don't have to worry about not having enough wrestlers. The second reason is that in so many games I make a lot of signings and it tends to backfire on me. So I am doing my best to keep the number of signings down as difficult as that may be with all the talent on the independent scene.

(B-Show) Friday Week 2 January 1991 Location: Corpus Christi Coliseum (Mid South) Attendance: 2,631 Overall Rating: B- TV Rating: .29 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div style="text-align:center;"><div>-WCW Power Hour opens with a pre-taped interview with Dutch Mantell. The veteran says that he has been denied an opportunity at the NWA World title again and again. He says that the former champions have been afraid of facing him. However, tonight, Sting made the mistake of accepting his challenge. He says that tonight he walks away with the NWA World title. When that interview cuts out, Sting appears on the screen. Sting says that he heard that Mantell thinks he's going to walk out with this title belt. He says that there is no way he is going to lose the title in front of all the Little Stingers. He says that tonight Mantell is going to step into SHOWTIME! Sting releases a howl and we head to the ring. -In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Lethal Larry(D-) and Doom(B-C, R-C-) defeated The Italian Stallion(D), Pez Whatley(E+) and Norman The Lunatic(D+) in 5:41 when Lethal Larry defeated Pez Whatley by pinfall with a Heart Punch...C- -It is, once again, time to head to the Wrestling News Network hosted by Gordon Solie. Solie begins by saying that he has information about the NWA World Television title tournament. There will be sixteen wrestlers included in the tournament and it will take place over both the Power Hour and WCW Saturday Night. One of those wrestlers who will be involved in the tournament is a former champion in Arn Anderson. Solie sends it to an interview with Arn Anderson. Anderson begins by saying that when Z-Man put his hands on The Enforcer and scored an upset victory, he put himself in no man's land. He put himself out there on an island with a volcano. Last week that volcano erupted and destroyed the island and the Z-Man with it. Now that should mean that the World Television title should come home to Arn Anderson where it belongs. But the Championship Committee feels like Anderson should go through a tournament to get the title back. Anderson says that it doesn't matter who he has to go through to get the title. It could be Michael Wallstreet. It could be El Gigante. It will be Dustin Rhodes next week here on the Power Hour. Dustin, next week right here on the Power Hour, I'm going to look you eye to eye and find out how good you are. You are looking at the measuring stick of professional wrestling in myself, Ric Flair, Barry Windham and Sid Vicious. Next week, we come for you and see if you measure up. The video concludes, heading back to the ring. -In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Ricky Morton(D+) & Tommy Rich© defeated The State Patrol(S-D, L-E+) in 5:43 when Tommy Rich defeated Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker by pinfall with a Sitout Suplex Slam...C- -We head back to the Wrestling News Network, hosted by Gordon Solie. Solie reminds us about the World Television title tournament that will begin this Saturday night on WCW Saturday Night. Matches on WCW Saturday Night will include Buddy Landel versus El Gigante and Michael Wallstreet versus the returning Robert Gibson. Another wrestler who will be participating in this tournament is Owen Hart. We cut to a promo with Owen Hart. Hart begins by saying there is no doubt that there's going to be a lot of talent in this tournament. There will be men who have stepped up and won title after title. Men like Arn Anderson. Men like Michael Wallstreet. Then, there's Owen Hart. He says that he has not been in this company as long as men like Arn Anderson. So all of his accomplishments will be done in the future, not the past. He talks about the fact that his first opponent in the tournament is a man named Lethal Larry. He has a lethal Heart Punch that can finish off most competitors. But he has to catch his opponent to hit the Heart Punch. He has to set up his opponent and Owen Hart has enough experience not to let himself get set up in that position. He talks about being trained in the dungeon along with several other wrestlers, other family members. He says that he was trained to win. He was bred to be a winner. When he faces Larry in the ring, he is not only going to win but this is going to be the first step that propels him right to the top of World Championship Wrestling. He tells Larry that he'll see him in the ring. Before the interview cuts off, a man walks up to Owen Hart. This man is none other than Paul E. Dangerously. Dangerously introduces himself to Owen Hart and says that he's been watching what Hart can do inside the ring and he says that Hart can have a bright future. But that future depends on what he is willing to do and what he is willing to sacrifice. It depends on who he is willing to associate himself with. That brings Dangerously to his question. He offers Hart a spot in the Dangerous Alliance but says that Hart does not have to answer right now. Dangerously gives Hart a business card and walks away. Hart looks down at the business card with some thoughtfulness in his eyes and we move to the ring for our main event. -In a decent match, Sting(B-) defeated Dutch Mantell(D) in 16:48 by submission with a Scorpion Deathlock. Sting makes defence number 6 of his NWA World Heavyweight title. Sting makes defence number 1 of his WCW World Heavyweight title...B- -Following the victory, Sting begins to celebrate inside the ring. He climbs to the second turnbuckle, raising the NWA World Heavyweight title belt to cheers from the crowd. Out from the crowd behind Sting comes Bob Backlund! Backlund rolls inside the ring but Sting drops down. Sting ducks a clothesline attempt by Backlund and begins throwing punches to the man who attacked him on WCW Saturday Night! Backlund avoids a punch and brings Sting down with a double-leg takedown. Backlund maneuvers himself around to the back of Sting -- Crossface Chickenwing! Backlund stretches Sting out inside the ring just as he did last week on WCW Saturday Night! What is going on with Backlund? Why is he doing this? Officials come out and work to separate Backlund from Sting. Their success has Backlund staring at his hands for several long moments before he exits the ring and walks to the back, looking confused.</div></div><div></div></blockquote></div> === <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="justtxyank" data-cite="justtxyank" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Cool sounds good!</div></blockquote> I hope so.

World Championship Wrestling

-WCW Saturday Night will be coming to you from the UIC Pavilion in Chicago Illinois. We are one week closer to the Clash of the Champions, which will be happening on Wednesday of Week 4 in January 1991. What a main event we have for you this evening. It will feature four men who hold titles here in WCW. On one side will be the NWA World Heavyweight Champion Sting teaming with the NWA United States Champion Lex Luger against the NWA World Tag Team Champions Doom. Doom definitely has more experience teaming together. Could that propel them to the victory or will Sting and Luger show why they are the top singles wrestlers in the business?

-A semi main event features two members of the Horsemen as Arn Anderson teams with Barry Windham against The Young Pistols. Both of these teams could challenge Doom in the future for the NWA World Tag Team titles. Which side will gain some momentum and a higher ranking in the WCW Power Rankings? Make sure you tune in and find out!

-The WCW World Television title tournament was announced last week on WCW Saturday Night. We have our very first contests in the tournament this week as we will feature two matches in the first round. The first match will feature the largest professional wrestler in the world today, El Gigante, as he takes on 'The Nature Boy' Buddy Landel. Can Landel match the size of El Gigante and move on to the quarterfinals? In our second match of the first round, we will see Michael Wallstreet take on Robert Gibson. This will be Gibson's first match since having his leg injured. Will Michael Wallstreet take advantage of that injury or will the Rock 'N' Roll Express member head to the second round?

-After being attacked last week and on the Power Hour last night, we have heard that Sting will be in the ring to address Bob Backlund. What will Sting have to say about the man who has locked him in a submission hold twice in a row? Will Bob Backlund step in the ring to confront Sting one more time?

-Plus Larry Zbyszko, Junkyard Dog, Dustin Rhodes, The York Foundation and more. Make sure you tune in! BE THERE!

Diary Question:

How would everyone feel if I began using some internet articles in this diary as I have in more modern diaries? I know that the internet and world wide web were in it's infancy, if not non-existent. But I feel like it's a good way to convey some behind the scenes stories. I just don't want to pull my readers out of the story.

===

Lethal Larry died in real life shortly after this period, didn't he? Good that you still have him in this one.

Unfortunately, Lethal Larry passed away in 1993 in the ring with a heart attack(according to Wikipedia). So, hopefully, we have him at least until 1993.
