General diary comments/questions/critiques: At first I didn't care for the format but now it's growing on me. I think it works better on Nitro than on Renaissance because there's more storylines going on. I also like the fact that we can see all the dark matches and stuff. Was not expecting a True Heroes turn

Theheel · January 12, 2018

World Heavyweight Championship: "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. {©}. AJ has a bright future but he is not ready to be The Man.

"The Hellraiser" Steve Austin vs. King Corino

I like Austin to get the win here but look for the Embassy to get their heat back after the match. Corino has been so good and improved so much, I hate to see him lose this one.

Ultimate Fan Series Finals--The Decisive Match: Lance Storm (Sin-free Society) vs. The Unnatural (Satyr's Hopeful Few)

Lance has been great for you, better than I ever expected, but what has occurred with The Unnatural has been great. I think Lance has hit his ceiling as a tag and US Champion, but The Unnatural has a chance to finallly measure up to the hype from his debut

Rob Van Dam vs. Bobby Roode

I look for this to be a DQ but I don’t think RVD would be happy taking the L here. Look for Flair to be heavily involved and ultimately cause the DQ

World Tag Team Championship: The Steiner Brothers vs. The Hardys {©}

Based on the fact that I’m taking the bait that Scott might be leaving.

World Television Championship: Booker T vs. Sean O'Haire {©}

I can’t see Booker winning the TV title, it’s a huge step back for him.

CM Punk vs. The Destroyer

Punk looks to be moving up and the Destroyer doesn’t appear to be doing the same

Cruiserweight Championship: "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson vs. "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels {©}. Tough call but I like the way Daniels has been going. Danielson’s time is coming but it’s not yet

Cruiserweight Championship #1 Contender's Match: Hayabusa vs. Kaz Hayashi

The difference in this match is in the corner

What will be match of the night? Rey vs AJ, but Austin vs Corino could be an extremely close 2nd and maybe even take it

The Final Countdown · January 12, 2018

April 2003: Pre-Clash of the Champions News and Notes <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;">April 14th, 2003 Dayton, Ohio The Afternoon--Before Nitro</div> Today was the day of truth. Negotiations had gone back and forth, but today I was going to get my answer. I'd already resigned myself to losing one of the major stars Vince targeted. I did come back with multiple counteroffers to try and sway him. I matched Vince in offering a hiring veto, but creative control was a no go for me. That's something I won't hand out to anyone, no matter what. I believe my base financial offer was competitive, and might have even been slightly higher than what WWE gave, but I could only shake my head when he told me they would be paying him a bonus of 20% of that figure every single time he appeared on screen, whether it be on TV or PPV. I was willing to offer a similar perk for PPVs, but doing it on TV as well just didn't make financial sense to me. It was no surprise when he called me yesterday to tell me he was signing with WWE. That made today even more important. I hadn't spent all my time fending off Vince though. These moves won't generate the headlines our big coup will once it inevitably leaks, but I've signed another trio of people away from the WWE. -I signed a particular non-wrestler to a deal. They could wear a variety of hats for us, from manager to personality to color commentator. I spent a little more money here than I really probably should on a non-wrestler. I think I was feeling particularly vindictive and just wanted to sign someone away in retaliation, but hopefully it'll be worth it. They'll also fit in nicely with a story we've currently got running too. Aside from him, I signed away a couple of Vince's developmental talents: -Lisa Marie Varon has agreed to leave WWE's developmental system and join us. They offered her an extension, but she wants to be a wrestler and was tired of being used strictly as a manager. She'll probably be in 5SSW to start, but I think she'll be on Renaissance sooner or later. She's a former bodybuilder and fitness competitor with a good look, and she says she's been working on honing her in-ring skills despite them not booking her in actual matches. I actually have a ready-made idea for her once she's on Renaissance. -I also came to terms with Shelton Benjamin. Shelton was an amateur wrestler at Minnesota the same time Brock Lesnar was there, but unlike Brock he never got the call to hit the main roster. He has no blowaway skills but is passable at just about everything, and he is a super athlete. WWE did offer him an extension but they didn't try very hard to improve their offer once I jumped in, so I guess they don't value him too highly. I'd love it if he can prove them wrong with us. Those were really just appetizers, though. Distractions from the main course. All three have the potential to be solid contributors to WCW's future in their own ways, but nothing like this. This is a shootout, and I need all the ammunition I can get my hands on. If Vince steals this guy away from me, he's not stealing a bullet that can then be fired back at me. More like a grenade that he can lob right at my foundation. I don't think it would kill us, but it would be a major blow for sure. That's why I went all out, did everything I could to try and convince him to stay. While I made an honest effort to keep Vince's other target, I went above and beyond for this guy. If he stays, his base pay will be even higher than Austin's, and he'll get the same perks as Steve (house shows off, hiring veto), PLUS wage matching and a 20% PPV bonus. Not even Steve got those last two, but he wasn't the beneficiary of a bidding war. I didn't offer creative control. That remains the one thing I refuse to budge on, but I'll admit I was tempted here, especially since I know Vince DID offer it to him. I just have to hope the rest of my terms will be enough to make up for it. Today's the deadline. If he's going to be leaving, this Sunday will be his last PPV with us and I need to plan accordingly--not just for Sunday, but for the next month, six months, the next year. He promised to give me an answer today though, so all I could do was wait. Speak of the devil. I saw him walk out of catering, and he said a quick goodbye to Billy Kidman before coming over to me. I sat up, put my booking notebook down and took a deep breath. "Well," I said, "you have an answer for me?" Please let it be good news. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/ffZqipS.jpg</div> "Yeah, I do," Rey said. "Can we talk in your office?" </div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;"> http://i.imgur.com/nUYCk9q.jpg </div> Arn Anderson will be sticking around, but he'll only be under a PPA deal now. Mike Sanders finally realized I had no intention of ever doing anything with him. He came to me to ask for his release, and I was happy to give it to him. He had over two years left on his deal that we now don't have to pay him, but it's not like he was making much anyway. He wanted an opportunity to prove himself that he wasn't going to get from me, so now he has a chance to latch on somewhere else. I wish him luck, and there are no hard feelings on my end. Jason Jett did the same, and I gave it to him. I don't think it was so much the lack of push in his case as it was my refusal to give him a raise. I guess you could say those two things kind of go hand in hand though. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/7AiYO6E.jpg </div> Rhyno re-signed with the WWE. I did negotiate with him, but didn't pursue him seriously. At least I drove up the price a bit! Eli Blu re-signed too. He's probably better known as one of the Harris boys, though I'm not sure which one plays Eli and which one is Jacob, and I don't really care either. Vince is welcome to him. Oh, and Barry Windham, aka The Stalker, signed an extension. I know Barry was considered one of the best in the world at one point, but those days are long gone. I guess it doesn't matter much since he's just being used as an opening match guy. I'm told that Jericho has started dating a woman outside the business. Best of luck to him. <div style="text-align:center;"> http://i.imgur.com/sDkxtEI.jpg </div> New Japan's 'Glory of History' event took place on April 11th. They finally filled the vacancy created when Yuji Nagata tore his quad, and they once again returned to a big name from the previous generation to carry the torch. Riki Choshu beat Masahiro Chono in the main event of the show to claim the vacant IWGP Heavyweight title. It's the fourth time the 51-year old Choshu has won the title, but the first in over a decade. That seemed like a poor decision to me, and the match being one of the worst on the entire card would back my opinion up. Easily the best match came in the third to last spot, when Tatsumi Fujinami, Koji Kanemoto and Satoshi Kojima won a six man tag against Manabu Nakanishi, Osamu Nishimura and Don Frye. With such a poor main event dragging it down, this was the worst big show NJPW has put on in years. This company isn't doing themselves any favors in their booking, and their mistakes are hurting them all the more now that they're caught up in a 3-way national fight with us and Vince in Japan. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/syuSRKH.jpg </div> All Japan's annual Champion's Carnival tournament wrapped up on April 12th, and in a bit of a surprise, Jushin Liger won the prestigious trophy by beating Genichiro Tenryu. That was a great match, but a pair of MOTYCs were produced earlier in the tournament when Toshiaki Kawada beat Hiroshi Hase and Liger defeated Keiji Mutoh. This was an excellent show for anyone, never mind a company of their current size, though All Japan's big event in March was even better. I wonder if booking Liger to win the tournament was an attempt to sway him to their side when Jushin is eventually forced to choose between them and New Japan? He's just a midcarder in NJPW, so maybe the lure of being a main eventer in AJPW will be enough to get him to leave his longtime home. <div style="text-align:center;"> http://i.imgur.com/1eeVS9d.jpg </div> I've been hearing rumors that Big Japan Pro Wrestling is on its last legs. First ECW, then CZW and now potentially BJPW. I guess the hardcore fad is truly dead, and I can't say I'm upset about it. <hr noshade size=3> DUN DUN DUN! I debated whether or not to reveal the identity of either or both of the people Vince was trying to steal, but I thought this would make the PPV an even more interesting read! Question: does anybody have a good picture of Victoria/Lisa Marie Varon looking suitably crazy, like from her initial heel run in WWE? None of the pictures in the mSp pack or Taker's cuts have been quite what I'm looking for. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="James The Animator" data-cite="James The Animator" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> General diary comments/questions/critiques: The new format looks very good! The only drawback to it is that we might have to wait a bit longer for updates. But the content is definitely worth the wait. I'm definitely looking forward to the show, as well as seeing which big name from WWE just came in!</div></blockquote> Obviously it's too early for me to know how it'll work out over the long haul, but at least so far I've actually found this style makes it easier for me to get through shows more quickly.

Another thing to remember is that there were only two weeks of Renaissance to cover before that PPV, so none of us, myself included, have seen how it'll function under a more standard timeframe. I tried not to hint too much about the Heroes' impending face turns, but I'd been planning it for awhile.

kinnikuniverse · January 12, 2018

Um, can i change my predictions? Or once i uploaded my original one, i can't? Cause i want to say that AJ would win against rey.

Also, sorry for last night. I was in a negative mood and i shouldnt have read this thread before sleeping. Had trouble sleeping. I tend to get way too emotional about things that are, in the end, totally unimportant. Just to let you know,TFC, that losing rey is not the end of the world. After all, its just a game in the end.

And besides, you still have AJ, punk, danielson, corino, knoble and that blockbuster signing! In fact, having AJ win the title, if rey does leave, would be the best solution! It would turn AJ into a bonafide star just like his bound for glory match against daniels. In fact, the similarities between this WCW and early TNA is striking!.

Overall, i just don't want you to give up. There's still a big light shining on you!

And besides, you still have AJ, punk, danielson, corino, knoble and that blockbuster signing! In fact, having AJ win the title, if rey does leave, would be the best solution! It would turn AJ into a bonafide star just like his bound for glory match against daniels. In fact, the similarities between this WCW and early TNA is striking!.

TFC got the upper hand -- losing your champ hurts, but he can always drop the belt. I'm more worried that A.J. has a low overness cap and therefore limited potential as champion. He should be a main eventer by now. I'm fairly certain we're allowed to change predictions until the show is posted. I bet Vince will unmask Rey if he joins Vince. TFC. you'll tell us if Rey loses his mask, again, right?

I like Austin to get the win here but look for the Embassy to get their heat back after the match. Corino has been so good and improved so much, I hate to see him lose this one.

...I think these promos probably wouldn't be going as well if it were Prince Nana doing the talking instead of Bischoff!

Lol you got me there, how could I mix up the empire and the embassy <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

No, Rey. No GOD Rey. This is the worst sellout since Seth Rollins eleven years later! Wait...

The Final Countdown · January 12, 2018

I have no story updates to offer today. Usually I wouldn't make another post until the show itself, but I figured it was necessary so I could clarify one thing: Yes, anyone is more than welcome to change their predictions at any time before the PPV is posted. Don't make a whole new post to do it though, because that will confuse me when I go to add all these up. Just go back and modify your original post if you've changed your mind on anything. That rule has always been in effect, and it still applies here even with the additional information I offered in that last story update. Anyway, I ran the show in-game last night, and I'm about to start my write-up. It could possibly be up sometime on Sunday, but Monday may be more realistic. I guess it could wind up being later if I wind up being busier than I expect, but I'm setting Monday as my target. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="DHK1989" data-cite="DHK1989" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Rey...say it isn't so...</div></blockquote> That was my exact reaction when I got the first notification. <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="kinnikuniverse" data-cite="kinnikuniverse" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> ....I don't know what to say....see, the difference between you and me is that I would've used the editor to solve everything that I didn't like. Yes, I'm cheating, but this is my game, I do whatever I want with it! But knowing you don't play with the editor... I don't even know if I want to continue reading this.... I'm so used to see the richest and the best always winning in real life that I read fiction like this just for catharsis.... Oh, forget what I said! I WILL SUPPORT THIS DIARY UNTIL THE END!!! AND KNOBLEMANIA WILL BE GREATER THAN ANYTHING IN WCW!!!</div></blockquote> It's not that I NEVER use the editor in-game, but it's usually only if there's something I feel needs to be added/changed. I'm not going to arbitrarily use it just to give myself an advantage, no. I have no problem with other people doing so; it's your game, play it however you like. But personally, that would take a lot of the fun out of it for me. KNOBLEMANIA FOREVER, BROTHER! (Ironically, Knoble might wind up benefiting in a big way from all of this, but I can't say any more about that right now.) <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="James The Animator" data-cite="James The Animator" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I hope that Rey is loyal to WCW after all the years he's worked here. If not, you might be screwed.</div></blockquote> He isn't. The only roster members who are loyal to WCW are Sting (before the game, obviously) and Corino (no idea how that one happened.) <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="kinnikuniverse" data-cite="kinnikuniverse" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> Also, sorry for last night.

And no worries, I wasn't nearly as stressed out by these contract negotiations as Bret was! I actually found the whole thing really intriguing. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Overall, i just don't want you to give up.

I wanted a game world where this kind of thing would be possible, after all. It makes things more interesting, especially if WWE is going to try and do it to me instead of it being a one-way street of only me trying to steal their best guys. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="KnowYourEnemy" data-cite="KnowYourEnemy" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I mean, he's got Austin, and he's got another top WWF star.

He should be a main eventer by now. </div></blockquote> I don't think we have anything to worry about with regards to AJ's overness cap. He's had massive gains in Japan over the past couple of months and is knocking on the door of the 90s there. If he can hit that in the US, he'll be just fine. I think his autopush is in the same boat Rey's was right up until Starrcade season, or maybe even through Starrcade, where Rey was more popular than other guys who were main eventers but was stuck at Upper Mid because his style is Cruiserweight. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I bet Vince will unmask Rey if he joins Vince.

Cro Cop Rules · January 12, 2018

Even if Rey leaves, I don't see AJ taking the title just yet. Perhaps Rey will lose it on Nitro?

"The Hellraiser" Steve Austin vs. King Corino

This has the potential to steal the show.

Ultimate Fan Series Finals--The Decisive Match: Lance Storm (Sin-free Society) vs. The Unnatural (Satyr's Hopeful Few)

Salvation could really benefit from a UFS win.

Rob Van Dam vs. Bobby Roode

I love the idea of "the first Bobby Roode," but I think his job here is to get a rub from RVD by looking competitive.

Would be interesting to see a title change here, gives the Steiners something interesting to do (well Scott is always interesting <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />). Plus The Hardys would get a chance to be singles stars, even if just for a little while.

I think Booker is the one leaving for the WWF. Usually, it would seem odd for him to be in a match with a lower profile, but he could definitely give O'Haire a rub here. Plus, the tension with The Empire could boil over.

CM Punk vs. The Destroyer

Almost too bad that Punk is a face now, he definitely would have a lot of straight edge material on poor Mike Awesome.

Cruiserweight Championship: "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson vs. "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels {©}

I love Danielson, so yeah.

Cruiserweight Championship #1 Contender's Match: Hayabusa vs. Kaz Hayashi

GIVE DRAGONS A CHANCE.

What will be match of the night?: Austin vs. Corino

How many championships will change hands?: 2

General diary comments/questions/critiques: The intrigue in this diary continues to pick up. Getting Benjamin and Victoria is definitely a plus, but I'm dying to see who your big steal is. Kudos on continuing to keep everything interesting!
