WCW '94: Getting Corny

Valdarix · March 14, 2019

Bash is finished finally. Sorry for the delay, now I can get into the meat of some of my plans

Valdarix · March 14, 2019

After PPV Meetings:

Cornette's Notebook:

Backstage after the pay per view, I got a chance to talk with the talent, below are the key notes.

Flair - Thanked him for a great match tonight. Reminded him of the next part of my plans and told him to make sure to bring it next Saturday.

Hogan - Praised him for a great crowd tonight and told him to prepare for a hell of a ride with the belt.

Paul Roma, Rip Rogers, Craig Pittman, and Tommy Rogers - Advised these guys I would be using them more in a mid-card role, it would be a small push but they needed to prove me right.

Doug Furnas, Phil LaFon and Frank Anderson - Told these three they would be working more Lower Midcard matches, less dark matches and less on the B show as a result.

Johnny B. Badd - Advised Johnny that I still had nothing for him. Let him know that he would be in lower-profile matches moving forward after the next Clash.

Booker T, Paul Orndorff, Steven Regal - Advised these guys to get ready for more prominent positions on the card.

Brad Armstrong - Told Brad he would no longer tag with his brother and that I would be dropping him down the card a bit.

Kevin Sullivan - Advised Kevin he would be main eventing soon

Live Broadcast

Ric Flair's music opens the show. Flair steps through the curtain, fully robbed, the robe is cinched closed tightly, smiling from ear to eat.

JR: For someone who lost the world title last night at the Bash, I wouldn't think he would be smiling.

Followed by Arn Anderson who's in blue jeans and a plain black t-shirt. Flair walks to the ring slowly, the smile never leaving his face. Mean Gene awaits him in the ring.

Mean Gene: Ric Flair, you seem awful happy tonight.

Flair: That's right Mean Gene! The Nature Boy is on top of the World tonight! WOOOO!

Anderson steps forward to speak

Arn: Nature Boy has every right to be happy Mean Gene. Everyone around the world saw the type of cheater that Hulk Hogan is last night at the Bash, he had to have Sting cheat and attack me last night, that type of distraction cost my boy the WCW Title.

Flair: Gene-o! Hogan may have caught me distracted and taken the WCW Title temporarily, but he won't have that luck with my friends at ringside.

Mean Gene: Friends? You had Arn on your side secretly last night and it didn't help. How will it be.....

"No one knows what it's like".....the opening refrain from Behind Blues comes across the loudspeaker and through the curtain steps the "Badman" Larry Zbyszko, he's also in blue jeans and a black t-shirt, stone-faced he walks to the ring carrying a duffle bag.

Mean Gene: Larry Zbyszko, what are you doing out here?

Arn: I've asked my old buddy Zbyszko here to step out of retirement and join me back in the ring full time! That's right the band is back together.

Flair laughing takes the duffle bag from Zbyszko.

Flair: Now that I've gotten my "enforcers" with me I'm going back to the top and taking that strap off Hulk Hogan and putting it back on the Nature Boy where it belongs.

Flair begins to speak louder, and faster. Face getting red.

Flair: You might have the WCW Title around your waist and I do plan to take it back! You may have beaten me last night for that belt! But, I've got something here more prestigious and I think it's going to cause you a little bit of mental grief. Roll the footage.

A video package begins to play, the stamp on the video reads 4/24/1982 American Wrestling Association. The footage is old, a bit grainy, the sound distorted a bit, a man is standing in the ring with a microphone. "As AWA president I am stripping Hulk Hogan of the AWA World Title and his reign will be removed from the history books for his use of a foreign object against Nick Bockwinkle, the title will be returned to Bockwinkle." The time stamp changes to 4/24/1982 American Wrestling Association. The same man is in the ring, "One year ago today, I had to strip Hulk Hogan of the title. In tonight's Title match here at Super Sunday, again Hulk Hogan will relinquish the title to Bockwinkle and will not be recognized. "

Heenan: I was there Jim Ross. I saw Stanley Blackburn strip that cheater both times. Just like Dusty Rhodes needs to strip him now.

Flair unzips the bag, his smile grows even bigger. He slowly pulls out the AWA World Heavyweight Title. Holds it high into the air.

Flair: That's right Hulk Hogan! Mr. Zbyszko the reigning AWA Champion since 1990 has just relinquished his belt to the Nature Boy, the new AWA World Champion! Oh but Hogan, I got some more pain for you big boy. Show it.

A new video package begins. The date reads 5/25/1979. This time there is no footage, just still images. It appears to be Memphis Wrestling. Hulk Hogan has the NWA World Title in his hand, he looks angry, Harley Race is pointing an accusing finger at Hogan, another man is in the ring with a mic. We cut back to Flair who now has the AWA Title over his shoulder.

Flair: That's right Hogan I have the photo! That's the night in Alabama that you cheated to win the NWA World Title, before once again being stripped on the same night, not to be recognized! You might have the WCW Title and its 3-year lineage. But you're looking at the NWA World Champion and its decades of history, the AWA Champion and its decades of history! That's right Hogan your looking at the man who is STILL the real world's champion! WOOOOOO!

Anderson and Zbyszko are standing behind him, shaking their heads in agreement, when a lispy voice interrupts. Out comes Dusty Rhodes, headed for the ring. A mark is still visible on his face from last nights Bash at the Beach.

Dusty: You made a big mistake Daddy. You brought these belts into the WCW, you claim that you are the World's Champion. That means that I have the right to sanction those belts, as recognized by the WCW and it means I can make you defend them! So at Clash of the Champions Ric, you will defend both of those belts, separately, in the same night!

All three men begin to become enraged at this announcement. Anderson and Zbyszko can be heard yelling "You can't do that!", Anderson shoves Dusty and the two begin to argue, suddenly from the back appears Dustin Rhodes who runs to the ring and stands by his father, putting space between The Enforcers and his dad, Flair composes himself and steps face to face with Dusty.

JR: Dustin recognized the danger his daddy was in and got his but down here to back him up. It's still 3 on 2 out here, Sting, Hogan if you can hear this you need to help Dustin even these odds.

Dusty: Don't step on me Ric Flair, I'll put all three of you down.

Flair: (Speaking very deliberately but with his sly smile returning) Easy Dream, I got one more surprise. You see as Arn and Larry and I was driving into town tonight we realized that the three of us just don't make any sense. We've been up and down these roads, we figure we need a fourth man out here with us, someone with some pedigree, someone who knows this business as well we do. We felt it would only be "Natural" to get a young stallion to join these thoroughbreds up here.

As Flair's final words began to fall on Dusty's ears, a look of dread and understanding comes across his face. He slowly begins to turn towards Dustin who is now facing him. Without hesitation and a look of hatred in his eyes Dustin kicks his dad in the stomach and plants him with a nasty looking DDT, he pops up grabs the mic and begins to speak.

Dustin: For years, all I have heard is pay your dues kid, take your licks kid, you'll make it. For weeks the Stud Stable and Terry Funk have attacked, harassed and embarrassed me and still, you say, pay your dues, keep learning. I won the United States Title and still, it was the same old story, pay your dues; take your licks. Funk wasn't making me pay my dues dad, he was coming at me because he couldn't come at you! I was taking your licks, I was paying for your mistakes, I was facing YOUR ENEMIES! Well no more! The Nature Boy sees the champion I am, he sees the destination for my career! I'm tired of your garbage, you go back to your new family, you play with your new son, because as far as I'm concerned Dustin Rhodes is dead!

The four men step over Dusty who is laying in the ring, in pain, both mental and physical. All four men shoot an all too familiar hand signal into the air. The sign of the Four Horseman, almost instantly the music for the Four Horsemen blares across the arena.

Heenan: The Horseman are back JR! This is great!

JR: This is the darkest day in professional wrestling history.

Backstage After the show: Off the air but the cameras are still rolling so the following will be picked up by Meltzer. Hogan sees Cornette for the first time all night, he throws the WCW Title at him.

Hogan: What kind of rinky-dink southern bullshit is this Cornette? Three World Titles and Flair has 2 of them? You diminished my strength as Champion in less than 24 hours. There's no reason to even wear that piece of shit to the ring.

Cornette: Look you primadonna, if you would have gotten here on time tonight I would have had time to go over the plans with you and maybe you would understand. Instead, you want to come yapping at me like a raccoon in a trash eating contest. Give me 5 gd minutes of your time and I think you will be happy with the plans. Let's go to my office.

The two walk behind closed doors

OOC: Cleaned up some grammatical things, really need to start doing my writing in word and then copying over instead of trying to do it in this small window all the time.

July 1994 Financial Report to Turner

Starting Budget: 25,000,000.00

Profit/Loss: -10,127,410

Ending Budget: 14,872,590.00

Special Expenditures: 10,500,000.00

American Wrestling Association rights were purchased for 5 million from the Gagne family, all AWA assets were included in the sale.

National Wrestling Alliance World Title full rights purchased for 5 million from the NWA governing body, the NWA World Title was included in the sale as well as all title history and any video or photos pertaining to the belt. The WCW received the rights to use the NWA name in conjunction with the belt. The deal does not grant rights to the full NWA, all other titles will remain the property of the NWA. WCW will not be a member of the NWA.

World Class Wrestling full rights purchased for the WCWA from the Adkisson family for 500,000, all WCWA assets were included in the sale. As part of the deal to reduce the price to 500,000 both Fritz and Kevin Von Erich have been given 3-year deals as road agents for World Championship Wrestling. This purchase was made to prevent Vince McMahon from purchasing up the assets of the only remaining world title with prestige. We will not be using these trademarks in the foreseeable future.

Closing Notes: We expect to operate in the green in August. Our massive expenses in July to purchase the AWA and WCWA and rights to the NWA Title may put a shock to accountants but the cost will be justified in the long run.
