If you can buy a company, you should be able to instantly flip their workers to be able to work in your home area, or in your case since you're so huge in Japan, they'd be happy to work there and maybe one other region neighboring it (so Australia). Maybe not everyone would be willing to do it, based on their personality, but that's the last employment option for them in Japan. If they love wrestling, they'd have to see that.</p>

This is by far the best dynasty on this page, I love all the angles and details you have put in and doing some different things, I'm trying to hopefully start one of these soon and wouldn't be opposed to collaboration.

I think the problem was that Shinobu's judo-based shoot style forced Toyota to work at a slower pace than she usually prefers. Manami is an elite level worker though, and she was able to lead the way and make sure the match still got the show off to a good start even if the match wasn't quite as good as I'd anticipated.

We didn't announce it because I went back and forth on that, but I went this way because I've never been a big fan of the idea that a champion could lose their title without actually suffering a loss. Anyway, with that setup, there wasn't the sense of urgency when it came to breaking up pinfall or submission attempts. Instead the story was built around Chavo trying to convince American Dragon that they needed to work together and eliminate AJ first, and then they could settle it between the two of them after that. Dragon went along with this to a certain extent, only for Chavo to commit a double-cross by rolling him up from behind. Dragon got a shoulder up just in time though, and in the blink of an eye he had Chavo in a Crossface Chickenwing. Chavo was too far from the ropes and couldn't find an escape, so he tapped out.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> It was down to AJ and Dragon, and while Chavo did perfectly fine tonight, I have to say the match gained steam at this point. These two amazing young athletes in their early 20's showed a glimpse of how bright the future of WCW is, because they had a captivating, back-and-forth athletic exchange. AJ blended aerial moves and high-impact throws and slams, while Dragon focused mainly on submission grappling. Dragon had AJ on his stomach and was attempting to lock in his Arms Across America submission, but AJ was struggling and not letting him complete his forward bridge. Dragon improvised, using his grip on the arms to roll AJ into a modified crucifix-style pin. He got the three and won the championship to cap off a very good match. Much like the elimination setup, this result wasn't something set in stone. I considered all three guys to potentially win, but I think this was the best result for our future plans.</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Grade: B+</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss322/FCDiary/WCW/Kojima.jpg</span><span>http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss322/FCDiary/WCW/Tenzan.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <em>TenKoji cut a backstage promo.

Thus, despite the factors working against it, this was the best women's match we've had since bringing the division back.

As a result, the fans were very into this one. The action itself was very strong too. They went well over thirty minutes of a match that was largely called in the ring. Sasaki has a reputation of being very good at putting matches together, and he lived up to it tonight. This match built perfectly and was psychologically sound.

On commentary, Mike and I sold the idea that Booker's behavior in the previous weeks had all been an act; he knew full well how good Sasaki was, and he knew that he would need to be at his best to retain his title tonight. He did a lot of mat wrestling work early on to try and avoid Kensuke's powerful slams and suplexes, and I thought he upped his game in that department with some improved technical skills. Another key component of the story here was Booker, having been on the receiving end of Sasaki's Volcanic Eruption on the go-home Nitro, was trying to avoid that particular move at all costs, even if it meant bailing out to the floor and stalling. It was all for naught though, as in a really cool moment Sasaki caught him on a Harlem Sidekick and turned it into the Volcanic Eruption!

Great show. Did not see that Palumbo heel turn. Always thought it was gonna be O'Haire to side with Empire. I'm guessing Lex tested positive for steroids or something like that. Curious to see what happened, as the Express was very popular around here. Sad if it ends.

[The Lariat]

<p>I called it during last month's predictions, someone in the Thrillers would turn. Palumbo makes sense, as O'Haire has more upside and could be a new Mike Awesome-style bruiser.</p><p> </p><p>

The whole show was well done. I figured Shane Douglas would get himself DQ'ed to keep the belt, but it for pay to have a strong win for the champ. Did not see Dragonwinning the belt, but curious as to the outcome.</p><p> </p><p>

Pour one out for Lex.</p>

August 2002: Japan Supershow Wrap-up and Hall of Champions

 

The massive time change in Japan threw me off enough, and now it was turning into a much longer night than I'd hoped.

 

The show was a success, for sure. I could tell Booker was pleased to be back in the main event, and even more pleased when he and Sasaki had the match of the night. I applauded Booker's efforts and congratulated him afterwards, and it was obvious he appreciated it. I also thanked Kensuke for being selfless, not complaining about the loss and doing what he was asked. You always have to worry about politics and self-interests in interpromotional efforts, but our relationship with New Japan has worked out well for everybody so far. I also made sure to chat with Chuck Palumbo about his successful heel turn. He's excited about the turn and is really looking forward to the obvious program between he and O'Haire. I don't feel like every tag team needs to dissolve into a blood feud when they split; sometimes, maybe even most of the time, I'm going to try and subvert that cliché. I think a feud is the right thing here though.

 

There was some bad news behind the scenes though, specifically with some drug issues. Lex Luger has issues with hard drugs, and I sent him to rehab. We'll see how long he's in rehab, but he's got about six months left on his contract and I'm not sure I'll be re-signing him. His delusional patriot character has become a cult favorite, but he's arguably the worst worker on the entire roster. If nothing else he's definitely the worst of the guys who we use as anything other than jobber fodder. He did seem to realize that this is a serious issue, so I have high hopes that he's going to come out of this with a clear head. Whether or not he'll ever appear on WCW TV again is up in the air. I'll just see how I feel down the road, when he gets out of rehab and/or his contract's about to expire.

 

The other failed test was more of a surprise, as I wasn't expecting to have to discipline Akira Hokuto for anything. Her situation is understandable though. She suffered a gruesome shattered elbow last fall in a match for All Japan Women's, an injury that sidelined her for almost a year before she healed up and debuted with us two months ago at the Great American Bash. It was a long recovery for her, and it seems that during that recovery she became addicted to painkillers. She and Daffney figured to be a big piece of the puzzle as we prepare to launch the new women's show, but her health has to come first. She, like Lex, is being sent to rehab. I assured her that her job will be waiting for her after she recovers, for which she was very thankful and appreciative.

 

Dealing with those two situations kept me up, and now I'm about to keep myself up even longer by placing a call to GAEA owner Chigusa Nagayo. This can't wait though; losing Hokuto for the foreseeable future is a blow, but this can more than make up for it. Not to mention, I'm sure Vince has caught wind of my grand plans for the women. Who's to say he wouldn't buy GAEA out himself and shut them down just to spite me?

If you can go get your leg shot off in a war at 18 and come back from service you still wouldn't legally qualify to buy a beer. That's kind of messed up. They should either raise the enlistment age to 21 or bring down the alcohol age to 18.</p>
