I just finished up on you're Fall Brawl PPV man and I have to say, that was an amazing show. Honestly can't believe I missed out on the predictions. I'm looking forward to what's next with the Titans of Wrestling and Sting.

Crossface · July 17, 2018

Hey to4sty, I really enjoyed WarGames. The Copeland/Cage/Traylor trio is really doing it for me in particular! I think WCW has edged out WWF for the show I'm more into at the moment...the addition of the Rock will certainly do even more to propel the Turner brand.

As for the WWF, I hope Bret Hard comes through on Raw and takes the title off of Ahmed Johnson! (But I really don't expect it). I don't know why, but Ahmed is not doing it for me....maybe it's because I can't stop thinking about him and his gross wedgies in real life. That, and I am such a mark for your Scott Steiner that I hate the guy who took the title off of him... Too bad for Steiner too because he is existing in the Stone Cold era. I was really hoping he'd be your Figurehead for the next several years. Oddly enough, I think Steiner could be huge as a babyface against the Titans in WCW (despite how crowded it's become).

Coincidentally, have you crowned Figureheads on either brand? If so, who and how long have they been established?

Ahmed Johnson - The belt isn't swapping right away like this.

Austin and Shamrock

Kane

Pillman/Goldust/NAO

D'Lo

Scott Hall - Bret finds himself screwed once again.

DDP

Eddie Guerrero - In the vein of realism, I'm really surprised that Eddie continues holding the belt. But as a fan of his, I'm loving this reign.

Mortis

Goldberg

Lance Storm

Buff Bagwell

Awesome and Cain

Except he's never once figured in the "Franchise Players" list, which I'm assuming is because his Star Quality isn't up to scratch, I believe he's around a B+.....not that it stopped me putting the title on him, and it probably won't stop me putting it on him again..... .....and for the record, the top ten wrestlers in the world in terms of raw popularity are Hollywood Hogan, Scott Steiner, Bret Hart, Kevin Nash, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, The Warrior, Randy Savage, Ahmed Johnson and Sting.....with The Undertaker, Steve Austin and Brian Pillman coming in at 11, 12 & 13.... <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Crossface" data-cite="Crossface" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43289" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Coincidentally, have you crowned Figureheads on either brand?

Intercontinental Champion....while the second is quite literally the Worlds Strongest Man..... .....fortunately for Austin, Ken Shamrock hasn't gone anywhere....and since Austin just saved him from getting destroyed with an Acoustic Equaliser, it looks as though he's going to return the favour, sliding into the ring with a steel chair in hand and standing beside the Rattlesnake....Faarooq and Henry consider their options, before Faarooq finally tells Austin that he can wait.....because he's got his ass on Sunday night, before he and Henry turn and leave, presumably to find their team mates, leaving Austin to flip them the double bird as they leave, before sliding to the outside where he collects a six pack of beer..... .....Austin slides back into the ring and looks at Shamrock for a moment.....before finally tossing him a beer (just the one mind) and offering a toast.....Ken cautiously accepts (after all, he's been Stunned once before) and drinks a beer with Stone Cold, before heading to the back, leaving Austin to finish the remaining beers toasting these fans, as we go to the back for the final time of the night......

".....just like that little Rock Star wannabe last night.....hey Rocky, you wanna shot at this title holmes, you gotta do more than just show up.....you might think you're some big star Esè, but this is WCW, this ain't New York.....and in WCW, Eddie Guerrero is the benchmark.....Eddie Guerrero is the man.....and YOU....you don't get to just walk in the door and demand a title shot no more.....Jeff Hardy tried that last month, didn't work.....your fat uncle cousin tried last night Vato, didn't work for him either.....you want a shot at Eddie Guerrero's Title, you're gonna have to earn it esè......but if you just want slapping around a little bit, I'm right here Holmes....." .....Eddie Guerrero is calling out the Rock....although as Tony Schiavone points out, he called him down for a fight last night too, and by the time the Rock hit then ring, Eddie was long gone..... <img alt="HZGjo4L.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HZGjo4L.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ......it seems the The Rock doesn't need asking twice, and he walks out onto the stage with a microphone in hand, looking every inch the mega star that he thinks he is.....and this crowd goes wild.... ......he pauses for a moment to soak in the adoration of the fans, pushing his sunglasses down his nose and raising one eyebrow in appreciation as they chant his name....he brings the microphone to his lips, but before he says a word he drops it again....removes his designer shirt and drops that....takes off the designer glasses and places them on the ground.....and without ever taking his eyes from Guerrero, he simply begins walking towards the ring, clearly not wanting to give Eddie the opportunity to bail on him again...... <img alt="6I7db7l.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6I7db7l.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="UqsIL3g.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/UqsIL3g.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="AP82L8L.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/AP82L8L.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ......not that he gets far.....because Kevin Sullivan, Bam Bam Bigelow and Big Van Vader....the Valknut, come bursting out of the back....and all three of them blindside The Rock, much as the did with Rikishi earlier....Rocky tries to fight back, and he does get a few good shots in on each of the three men in turn....but he gets shut down after Bigelow whips him violently into the safety barrier, which he follows up with a charging body splash that crushes The Rock hard against the steel..... ......not content with that however, Vader drags The Rock back into the centre of the aisle....picks him up.....and Powebombs him straight down onto that metal entrance ramp..... ......damage done the Valknut leave, and as a bunch of medical personal come running out to attend to the Rock, Eddie Guerrero smirks on from the ring, as we go to commercial ahead of our main event match.

BTW, really dug the Sullivan/Vader/Bam Bam development on Nitro

Beejus · July 25, 2018

It's too bad that Hall has that injury. He could almost definitely be running the IC or Tag divisions right now if it wasn't for his matches getting constantly dinged. But he made a great showing against Bret and Ahmed on Raw, so good on him. On Nitro, I like the idea of Sullivan, Vader, and Bigelow, but one thing I thought during their segment was that their name is so horribly bad that it could only have come from Sullivan himself. I swear that their (admittedly very interesting) angle just came to a screeching halt as soon as fans have to try pronouncing their stable name. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Anyways, Ground Zero.

Ahmed Johnson - Ahmed is going to get a semi-decent run, the only people I can think of who will be able to stop him are either Austin, Taker, or Kane.

Owen Hart - Owen is just a better champion.

NAO - The train isn't stopping here; or if it does, it'll only be for a short time.

Dude Love - It just feels right for him to pick up the win on PPV, so he can Brian can have had their blowoff and move on. Foley vs. Ahmed for next PPV in some type of hardcore street fight match would be killer. Book it, bookerman.

Steve Austin - You've done good in revitalizing the Nation, but the star power is straight up gone for now. They get fed to Austin and then see where they fall.

Scott Steiner - This is a fun little mini-feud for Steiner after losing the title, but he isn't going to be in the middle of the cards for long.

Scott Hall - The Wolfpac and Harts split their matches here as we head toward Survivor Series.

Ken Shamrock - I wouldn't mind seeing him turn heel and go with Mr. McMahon. Robo-Shamrock from the Corporation in 98/99 was really awesome.

NOD - If they drop this AND Faarooq loses, then we may as well just write off the Nation.

WWF Championship Match

Comments: Johnson retains via Hart Foundation interference, let's call it a no contest

WWF Intercontinental Championship Match

Comments: Wolfpac/Harts cancel one another out

WWF Tag Team Championship Match

Comments: I'm aware that Sunny used to manage the Smoking Gunns; Maybe the Outlaws can get her on side and give her something to rebuild her image... admittedly her image as a selfish, claim jumping, disloyal, fly-by-night temptress, always on the look out for the next big payday...

Dude Love vs. Brian Pillman

Comments: Either Pillman wins, and Dude snaps, or Dude snaps and Pillman wins by rage DQ

Steve Austin vs. Faarooq

Comments: I wonder if Austin does as few jobs in-game as in real life? But to put the Nation over, a win for Faarooq is essential.

Scott Steiner vs. Goldust

Comments: I'm tempted to go for Goldust simply because Steiner seems to have had the better of every exchange bar Goldy costing him the belt, but maybe I'm overthinking it.

Scott Hall vs. Chris Jericho

Comments: Monday was a last hurrah for the Bad Guy; Jericho is the future.

Ken Shamrock vs. Jeff Jarrett

Comments: No shame in Jarrett being a midcard gatekeeper, but given that his role seems pretty set in stone, he's not winning this one.

Bradshaw, Rey Mysterio & Dean Malenko vs. The Nation of Domination (Scorpio, D’Lo Brown & Mark Henry)

Comments: Henry sits on Rey and Dean, leaving the mobile Nation guys to beat on Bradshaw.
