"Never has the new fall television season been such a turning point in American pro wrestling. World Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation, both with the Monday Night Wars and changes in syndication, and the continuation of monthly PPV shows, are going through another metamorphosis."

<details><summary>War of the Worlds: The Mod Behind The Diary</summary>

In september 1995 started something that would forever change the wrestling industry, when WCW launched WCW Monday Nitro to directly compete against WWF's flagship show, Monday Night RAW.

...
Reports we received is that obviously the time slot is no coincidence and stemmed from Turner being personally miffed by the letters Vince McMahon was sending him earlier this year urging him to fold the company claiming the wrestling company was an embarrassment to Turner's name.

Both groups will probably be feeling some heat, the competition in the short-run will be great for wrestling fans this fall. The long run is another story.

The new show for WCW has been pushed back to 9/4, reports the Wrestling News Observer.
Heading into August, the word is that cable providers are beginning to question of the WWF off the back of some poor shows as of late.

A month ago, August 1995

Jeff Jarrett reportedly quit after the last PPV and according to Jerry Jarrett, is unhappy with the direction of his character in the WWF, and the WWF are reportedly looking to patch up the problems with Jarrett soon.
WCW meanwhile are having issues bringing in talent it seems with Eddie Guerrero failing to agree early into the month, though this picked up ahead of the Nitro debut.

WCW Powerplant to begin running shows

<img alt="c2bd12efb795a4f5dc2b46521704db5f.png" data-src="https://i.gyazo.com/c2bd12efb795a4f5dc2b46521704db5f.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

The big news from WCW this week is that the WCW’s training centre, The Powerplant, is to begin running monthly shows. As part of this they will be expanding and taking in new students, while also opening the door for other works to come in and work the shows. Their first card is expected to take place in 2 weeks. See other news for a list of who has been signed so far. There are some structural changes also, with former ECW man Tod Gordon being brought in to run the Powerplant from a wrestling promotion side, while Gary Hart will be taking care of the booking.

WCW Main Event off the air + changes to Saturday Night

WCW Main Event will no longer be airing as per an official statement from WCW. It’s thought that 3 shows a week is overkill for the WCW audience and that with Nitro being the new centrepiece of the brand, having more shows takes away from that somewhat. It is expected WCW will run an extra house show per week instead of the Main Event taping.

Further to this, it seems WCW Saturday Night will be shortening to 1 hour as of next week, effectively confirming it’s place as the companies b-show.

Former WWF Intercontinental Champion signs for WCW

http://i.imgur.com/ikCBOXt.jpg

Former Intercontinental champion, and UK wrestling icon, Davey Boy Smith signed with WCW this week. WWF have granted a request to forego the usual waiting period and allowed the British Bulldog to join WCW immediately. Eric Bischoff was reportedly surprised by this, and is now weighing his options on how to debut Bulldog. Officials in London report that WCW have reached out to a few arenas about hosting a show in London this month.

In possibly related news, WCW has also agreed a deal with TNT UK to begin showing Nitro in the UK.

The Hardy Boyz defeated Big Matty Smalls and Tahitian Warrior (Rating: E+)

The Hardy Boys win an on-screen match as Jeff hits a Swanton Bomb on the Tahitian Warrior to win. On commentary, Regal and Razor continue to wind each other up.

As Goldust, the bizarre one makes his entrance, he introduces us to his manager, Marlena who accompanies him to ringside. Marlena seems to be quite the seductress.

Goldust defeated Bob after some outside interference from Marlena. As Goldust is proclaimed the winner by the ring announcer, Razor suggests to Regal that he's a freak fit to team with Goldust.

After suggesting Regal would be a better fit with Goldust, a brawl erupts at ringside (Rating: B-)

WWF Title contender Jeff Jarrett to WCW

http://i.imgur.com/zzUIY31.png

The shock news of the week is the revelation that Jeff Jarrett will be joining WCW. Double J had already been announced as the No 1 contender for the WWF title to face Diesel at In Your House and it’s yet to be seen how WWF officials will react to this. He’ll almost certainly not come away with the title, but whether he’ll remain in the main event is yet to be seen. From our understanding, Jarrett’s last date with WWF will be the Pay Per View.

Another big name signing – Jake Roberts

http://i.imgur.com/9ubfNmc.jpg

When WCW decided to go head to head with Raw for Monday dominance, it seems Bischoff knew they needed star names to fill out the roster. The return of former WCW champion Ron Simmons, the signing of WWF main eventers Jeff Jarrett and Davey Boy Smith and now add ring expert Jake Roberts. A promo package aired on Nitro hyping the debut of Jake Roberts which is currently expected to be at Fall Brawl

Powerplant holds its first show

WCW’s Powerplant held its first show this week, with the match being headlined by Brian Christopher (son of WWF star Jerry Lawler) and Bryant Anderson for the WCW P International Title. The show was said to be decent, drawing a good 3,507 audience. There was a mix of young and old talent, with the premise being that some of the older guys (Rock ‘n’ Roll Express) are there to help train and teach the younger generation.

The full card results are;

• Buchanan and Flash defeated Blitzkrieg and Kendall Windham (Rating: D)

• Confrontation involving Doug Gilbert, Dirty White Boy and Buddy Landel (Rating: C+)

Jarrett announces he is leaving for WCW and will take the title with him (Rating: B+)

Jeff Jarrett opens the show addressing stories that he might be leaving the World Wrestling Federation. He tells us this is true, that he walked out on WWF all along and he played everyone in the locker room, in the arena and in the offices at Titan Towers for a fiddle. Nothing will stop him from taking the title with him and throwing it in the trash on the way out of In Your House.

Regal and Sunny discuss pre match strategy (Rating: C)

Last week, William Regal got into a fight with Razor Ramon on commentary. Regal explains that the jolly Monsoon has allowed him to have a tag team match tonight against Razor Ramon and the 123 Kid, and he asks Sunny if Skip will team with him. Sunny agrees, and they begin discussing strategy -- indistinctly to the viewers -- as Vince McMahon talks over them and tells us we are going to commercial and that match is coming after the commercial break.

1-2-3 Kid and Razor Ramon defeated William Regal and Skip (Rating: C+)

A communications mixup between Regal and Sunny on the ropes meant that Skip was pinned after the Razor's Edge. Regal is incensed and enters the ring as the winners are announced.

Regal and Skip assault 123 Kid and Razor (Rating: B-)

Regal clocks Razor sending him to the outside, and 123 Kid quickly comes to Razor's aid. As 123 Kid beats on Regal into the corner this is enough time for Skip to recover from the finishing move and assist Regal. They beat on 123 Kid, throwing him into Razor who tries to get back into the ring.

Hakushi defeated D-Lo Brown (Rating: D-)

In a short match, Hakushi beats the wrestler formerly known as AC Connor. For most of this match we just had Lawler talking about Bret Hart the entire time and how he'd love to get hands on him, and his mother.

Bertha Faye defeated Jacqueline to retain the WWF Women's Championship title (Rating: D)

Vince puts over Bertha big time on commentary in this match, and new wrestler Jacqueline is her next victim in a predictable squash.

Bertha issues open invitation for In Your House (Rating: C)

Bertha gets on the mic and issues an open invitation for In Your House on Sunday.

Ahmed offers to mentor D'Lo after loss (Rating: D)

Very briefly backstage we see Ahmed giving D'Lo some advice and offering to mentor him to settle into the WWF. D'Lo accepts.

Smoking Gunns are granted a number 1 contenders match for In Your House, next! (Rating: C-)

Vince comments on commentary that the next match after the break is the Smoking Gunns who will fight for the number one contendership of the Tag Team titles.

The Smoking Gunns defeated Men on a Mission (Rating: C)

Billy Gunn won the match with a roll up after throwing Sir Mo into Mabel and then getting the snap pinfall. During the match, Cornette Camp come to ringside to "watch".

Cornette, Fuji and Owen and Yoko say the Smoking Gunns can bring it on! (Rating: B-)

Cornette gets on the mic post match sand congratulates the Smoking Gunns and tells them to bring it on this Sunday because they are going to need all the help they can get.

The Undertaker went to a double DQ with Hunter Hearst Helmsley (Rating: C+)

During the match, Waylon Mercy assisted by two others come to the ring and clean house, resulting the match in a double DQ.

Waylon Mercy and his cohorts kidnap Paul Bearer (Rating: C+)

With the two cohorts of Mercy having beaten down Taker and Hunter Hearst Helmsley, they proceed to kidnap Paul Bearer and take him to the back.

The Bushwhackers defeated The Blu Brothers (Rating: D)

The Bushwhackers defeated the Blu Brothers thanks to some distractions from the Bizarre one and Marlena.

Marlena seduces Bushwhackers and Goldust kisses them! (Rating: C-)

As the Bushwhackers are celebrating, Marlena enters the ring. She seduces them both and they are smitten, and Goldust kisses and then licks them both, much to the disgust of the Bushwhackers who make a sharp exit.

Bret Hart defeated Bob Backlund (Rating: B)

Bret defeats Backlund with a sharpshooter while Lawler looks on from commentary and argues with Bret.

Bret and Lawler agree to a Bret vs Yankem match at IYH (Rating: B-)

Bret demands Lawler at in Your House, and Lawler says he can beat Yankem instead. Bret says Lawler can't keep hiding.

Diesel and HBK entrance (Rating: B)

Prematch entrance for the Diesel and HBK Tag Team.

Jeff Jarrett and Sycho Sid defeated Diesel & Shawn Michaels (Rating: B-)

Sycho Sid hit a Big Boot on Shawb for the victory as Jarrett managed to keep Diesel from saving his partner.

Jarrett stands tall to end the show, writing out WCW with his hands (Rating: B-)

With Jarrett standing tall and Diesel and Michaels down and out on the outside, Jarrett celebrates on the second rope and writes out WCW with his hands as the cameras draw to a close.

Embarrasing lack of communication at Powerplant

<img alt="c2bd12efb795a4f5dc2b46521704db5f.png" data-src="https://i.gyazo.com/c2bd12efb795a4f5dc2b46521704db5f.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

In one of the most bizarre stories in the history of Wrestling, Powerplant held their first show, crowning a new champion, and then promptly releasing him and half of the roster within a week. It’s an embarrassing start for the new promotion and speaks to a huge lack of communication within WCW and their development territory.

Brian Lawler was crowned the champion in the main event of WCW P Gauge Away, however it appears WCW were not even aware he was under contract. Word is they had tried to sign him to a development deal which he refused, however the people running Powerplant had hired him and others to work the show anyway. Eric Bischoff’s intention seems to have been that only guys signed to secure development contracts should work the shows. This led to release of all guys hired to work the shows with no emphasis on development with the exception of one or two who seemingly impressed enough to warrant being offered a development deal. The full list of those released can be found in the other news section.

Road Warrior Hawk released

http://slam.canoe.com/Slam/Wrestling/2003/10/19/roadwarrior_hawk.jpg

The problem with being known as a member of a legendary tag team is that without the other member of your tag team, you can be dead in the water. That seems to be the case for Road Warrior Hawk who is without his partner in crime Animal due to both some personal issues between the two, and an injury suffered by Animal for which he is currently collecting on his Lloyds of London insurance policy.

WCW tried one last time to find something for Hawk on WCW Saturday Night by teaming him with Dave Sullivan but crowd reaction was lukewarm and any tag team Hawk is in will never be seen in the same way as the Road Warriors. With nothing for Hawk on a singles platform, WCW thought it better to release him than pay what is presumably quite a high salary. It’s expected Hawk will continue to work in New Japan.

WCW looking to make a huge splash in the UK

The difference between WCW’s marketing of next week’s London show in the US and the UK is like night and day. The main event is scheduled to be a US title defence by Sting against a “mystery” opponent. If you’ve been reading this news section, the mystery opponent is likely to be no surprise given the location of the show. In the US, the match has been barely spoke of, a quick video announcement on Saturday Night this week being the only real coverage. In the UK however, adverts are running on all major channels promoting the show and the US title match in particular (including a tease of a huge UK star appearing)

Absolutely love the presentation of this diary, it's incredibly immersing! Will be following

Lucas · April 21, 2017

Thanks very much. There's some more coming soon; today at some point will be a predictions post for In Your House, and more weekly results will follow Monday. The reserved posts will be filled then, I didn't do them from game start and only have a post ready from the second month. I was a little annoyed in week 2 to discover WCCW created a top contender belt and were not booking enough 3v3 matches. They also added the Glory Days event which I didn't approve <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I love the visual presentation here, guys. Keep up the good work. And fun with the old school commercials, trailers and such.

Beejus · April 22, 2017

Yeah, I'm gonna echo that I really like how your format works. It's very neat and clean.

Bigelow, Savio, D'Lo, and Ahmed - This just seems like the best collection of mid-90s plucky faces that you can get.

Kid and Ramon - Because clique powers.

Goldust - Should make a nice little comedy match.

Bret Hart - Time to close out this thing.

Waylon Mercy - If you're turning this into a large, epic feud like it appears, Mercy needs to pick up this first victory.

Bertha Faye - In Your House is perfect for these oddball little challenges to go well,

so that in one of the big five you have someone come in and beat them.

Owen & Yoko - The Gunns are just played out by now.

Shawn Michaels - He's riding that rocket up, up, up.

Diesel - Jarrett should definitely be capable of dragging a good match out here.
