EBEZA Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 LAST CALL FOR PREDICTIONS FOR "THE BIG BANG!" (Apologies for the pacing of this diary, I've had a mad couple of weeks. I have, however, been able to plan out a whole load of awesome stuff for WCW going forward (on a spreadsheet, not been able to play the game so much lately), so stay tuned!)

Bigelow Cartwheel Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Official Match Card WCW World Television Championship Open Challenge Jim Duggan © vs Kanyon Newly (re)crowned Television champion, Jim Duggan, will host an open challenge at WCW Big Bang! Who will answer? (1 point for predicting the opponent, 1 point for predicting the winner) WCW Cruiserweight Championship Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs Shane Helms © Helms cost Guerrero his TV Championship tournament match against Duggan on Nitro. Can Guerrero take Helms' Cruiserweight title as revenge? WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships Billy Kidman & Rey Misterio Jr. © vs Elix Skipper & Kid Romeo Misterio and Skipper's TV title tournament match descended into chaos when both men's partners got involved. Now, in an actual tag team match at WCW Big Bang, who will emerge victorious? WCW World Tag Team Championships Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire © vs Lance Storm & Mike Awesome The champs cost both of their challengers in the TV title tournament on Nitro. Can Storm & Awesome get even by winning the WCW World Tag Team Championships? WCW United States Heavyweight Championship Rick Steiner vs Booker T On Nitro, Booker T was forced to vacate the United States Heavyweight title due to injury. However, when Ric Flair tried to gift the title to Rick Steiner, Eric Bischoff announced that Steiner would have to go through a mystery opponent at WCW Big Bang in a match for the vacant championship! (1 point for predicting the opponent, 1 point for predicting the winner) Grudge Match Dustin & Dusty Rhodes vs Jeff Jarrett & Ric Flair This feud has been ongoing for months, leading to this huge tag team match at WCW Big Bang! Will this rivalry finally be put to rest? If so, who will finally come out on top? WCW World Heavyweight Championship Scott Steiner vs DDP Just like his brother's United States Championship situation, Scott Steiner finds himself having to fight a mystery opponent for the now-vacant Championship that he previously lost to Booker T. Who will answer the call? And will they be successful? (1 point for predicting the opponent, 1 point for predicting the winner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bison Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I don’t normally follow real world diaries but this is brilliant! Look forward to seeing where this goes! WCW World Television Championship Open Challenge Jim Duggan © vs Rob Van Dam Hoping to see an appearance from the former ECW TV champ in some form and here seemed to fit since I imagine he wouldn’t be too high on the card for WCW. Duggan just won the belt though I don’t think he’ll drop it. WCW Cruiserweight Championship Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs Shane Helms © Helms puts Guerrero down and then goes to seek an interesting challenger WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships Billy Kidman & Rey Misterio Jr. © vs Elix Skipper & Kid Romeo I’d think this would be an easy win for Kidman and Misterio with lots of exciting action WCW World Tag Team Championships Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire © vs Lance Storm & Mike Awesome If I can be serious for a moment. Storm is a good hand and Awesome deserves better but Palumbo and O’Haire should have been the future of WCW. WCW United States Heavyweight Championship Rick Steiner vs Kanyon Who better than Kanyon? Not Rick Steiner Grudge Match Dustin & Dusty Rhodes vs Jeff Jarrett & Ric Flair Faces get the win and then Push Dustin to the moon! WCW World Heavyweight Championship Scott Steiner vs Sting Hoping to see the Stinger make his way in and he’s the top choice for leading new WCW into the future. The man is an Icon! Even in 2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to seeing where this goes! Thank you so much! I have quite the plan in place, I just decided my main event for NEXT May's pay-per-view! Who better than Kanyon?

WilburTrey Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 WCW World Television Championship Open Challenge Jim Duggan © vs Mike Sanders Shot in the dark on this one. But I like the idea of Duggan getting some wins early for some reason. WCW Cruiserweight Championship Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs Shane Helms © Sugar Shane is to good and that finish by gawd! WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships Billy Kidman & Rey Misterio Jr. © vs Elix Skipper & Kid Romeo The Skipper of Elix is elite just ask Booker T on his radio show. But Kidman and Rey are part of the building blocks you have to promote to be successful in this save. WCW World Tag Team Championships Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire © vs Lance Storm & Mike Awesome Part of me is glad I broke up Palumbo and O'Haire early in my diary part of me wanted to push them to the moon. WCW United States Heavyweight Championship Rick Steiner vs It's me it's me it's DDP How can you not have DDP on the big BANG? Grudge Match Dustin & Dusty Rhodes vs Jeff Jarrett & Ric Flair I'm a Dustin mark always have been always will be. WCW World Heavyweight Championship Scott Steiner vs The Franchise Shane Douglas It's more than likely Sting if WCW truly reopened how do you not put the belt on your most recognizable face on your new tv station? But I want Douglas to have his due and I already missed my chance to do it in my diary at least right off the bat so why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is traditional for Duggan, the crowd began the match with a resounding "USA!" chant, which prompted Disco to point out that he, too, is American. These two great entertainers spent the majority of the match "working the crowd," getting them warmed up for the rest of the night ahead, rather than trying to put on a five-star classic.</p><p> </p><p> The finish came when Disco grabbed Charles Robinson to shield himself from Duggan's Three-Point Stance Clothesline, while someone snuck into the ring and attacked Duggan!</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="Shawn-Daivari.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/nQmMJxp/Shawn-Daivari.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> <em>Who the Hell is this?!</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The mystery attacker hit Duggan with the WCW World Television Championship belt, then climbed up to the top rope... with a rug?! He jumped off, hitting a Splash onto the rug, onto Duggan! He then rolled out of the ring, dragged his rug with him, and Disco let Robinson go.</p><p> </p><p> By the time Robinson finished berating Disco and turned round, the mystery attacker had dropped down at ringside and was hiding from the referee's view, so "Lil Naitch" was very confused as to why Duggan was down on the mat. Disco marched over, picked Duggan up and hit The Last Dance for the one, two, three!</p><p> </p><p> In a decent match, Disco Inferno defeated Jim Duggan in 11:24 by pinfall with The Last Dance following interference from Khosrow Daivari.

Eventually, the fans gave them a chance to speak.</p><p> </p><p> Nash spoke about being back in his home state, but not being booked on the card, which drew heavy boos from the live crowd.

"And yet, I'm not booked on this historic card? Kev, you're not booked in your home state of Michigan? Page, you're not booked on The Big Bang?"</p><p> </p><p> DDP interrupted, "I DON'T THINK SO!"

Eventually, the Magnificent Seven representatives took a shortcut and got the upper hand, isolating DDP from his partners.</p><p> </p><p> After what seemed like an eternity of triple-teaming, Page managed to drop Luger with a desperation Diamond Cutter, which brought the crowd to their feet. DDP couldn't capitalise with a pinfall attempt, but he did start to slowly drag himself to his corner. Animal ran in, grabbed Luger and dragged him back to their corner to tag himself in, but it was too late!</p><p> </p><p> Page tagged Nash, and Big Sexy ran roughshod over Animal! Nash then tagged Sting, they fired Animal off the ropes for a double team, and Bagwell made a blind tag! Nash and Sting hit their double team, then Nash went to follow Animal as he rolled out of the ring. Buff sneaked in behind Sting, rolled him up, put his feet on the middle ropes and got the shock win!</p><p> </p><p> In a bout that had fantastic heat and decent wrestling, The Magnificent Seven (Buff Bagwell, Lex Luger and Road Warrior Animal) defeated Sting and The Insiders in 15:59 when Buff Bagwell defeated Sting by pinfall, illegally using the ropes for leverage.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-bminus.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/9nwNXm4/grade-bminus.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> </p><p> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="Road-Warrior-Animal-3.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/nbHpG6R/Road-Warrior-Animal-3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Bagwell rolled out of the ring to check on Luger, and Animal rolled into the ring to escape the grasp of Kevin Nash, who headed to the back with DDP and Sting. As Animal celebrated his team's victory in the ring, the lights suddenly went out!</p><p> </p><p> When they came back on, Animal was in a crumpled heap in the ring, with Totally Buffed looking confused at ringside, and DDP, Nash and Sting looking equally perplexed at the top of the ramp!</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-dplus.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/PzLDNk1/grade-dplus.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> </p><p> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">WCW Cruiserweight Championship</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="wcwcruiser.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/VwnXYfV/wcwcruiser.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <img alt="Chavo-Guerrero-Jr-2-K6.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/bLfB0BN/Chavo-Guerrero-Jr-2-K6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="vs.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/QrWhQPh/vs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Shane-Helms-2k1.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/p2qmWCk/Shane-Helms-2k1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <em>Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs Shane Helms ©</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Chavo and Shane went out there and tried their best to steal the show. If it hadn't been for the sheer star power in the six-man tag, this match would probably have been the best of the night so far!</p><p> </p><p> In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Shane Helms defeated Chavo Guerrero Jr. in 18:42 by pinfall with a Vertebreaker. Shane Helms makes defence number 1 of his WCW Cruiserweight title. </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-c.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/xzJZ3c4/grade-c.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> </p><p> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="Buff-Bagwell.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/hm6k6Gh/Buff-Bagwell.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> We cut to a camera backstage in the Magnificent Seven's dressing room.

Mostly in a good way, high spots galore, but also occasionally in a bad way. It's astounding that no-one ever really clocked this before, but Kidman and Misterio have zero chemistry as tag partners. They almost got in the way of each other's spots a few times in this match, and it was one of the shortest on the card!</p><p> </p><p> Billy Silverman had a nightmare of a time keeping the two teams within the traditional tag team wrestling rules, and actually ended up having to throw the match out via double count-out when Kidman and Skipper spilled to the outside and got carried away fighting each other, despite Misterio and Romeo's requests that Silverman let the two of them fight it out as if they were the legal men.</p><p> </p><p> In a poor match, Filthy Animals drew with Elix Skipper & Kid Romeo in 11:09 following a double count out.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-cminus.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/Vq0Y2Pc/grade-cminus.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> </p><p> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <img alt="Lex-Luger-11.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/Jm19spJ/Lex-Luger-11.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The camera once again cut to the backstage area, where officials were crowding Lex Luger, who was sitting on the floor, stunned and with blood running down his face!

We started out with Dustin and Jarrett in the ring, but Jarrett tagged out before they could even make contact! Flair came in, but he told Dustin he wanted Dusty! Dustin looked at the crowd, who started to chant "Dusty! Dusty! Dusty!" Dustin tagged his daddy in, and the crowd exploded!</p><p> </p><p> Unfortunately, while they were posturing to the crowd before the tag, Jarrett blind-tagged himself back in, but stayed on the apron. As Flair and Dusty circled each other, ready to lock up, Jarrett jumped in and took Dusty out from behind! Jarrett and Flair then spent a good ten minutes beating down the American Dream, being sure to cut the ring in half and keep them near their corner, not hesitating to take shortcuts to keep the match in their control.</p><p> </p><p> Eventually, they took one too many shortcuts, and Dustin rushed the ring, pushing Charles Robinson to his backside to get to the opposite corner... and grabbed Dusty in a Reverse DDT position! Dustin lifted Dusty up and drove him into the mat to a huge chorus of boos!</p><p> </p><p> Jarrett and Flair looked confused - it was apparent this wasn't some sort of master plan on their part - but Jarrett was quick to capitalise, locking in the Figure-Four Leglock. Dusty screamed out in agony, but fought against the pain, until Dustin came back to the ringside, stared Dusty right in the eyes and laughed. Dusty looked dejected and tapped out to end the suffering.</p><p> </p><p> In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Jeff Jarrett and Ric Flair defeated Dustin and Dusty Rhodes in 17:17 when Jeff Jarrett defeated Dusty Rhodes by submission with a Figure-Four Leglock. During the match we also had Dustin Rhodes turn on Dusty.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-c.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/xzJZ3c4/grade-c.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> </p><p> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="Ric-Flair-2k1.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/CPk72h4/Ric-Flair-2k1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Ric Flair was walking backstage after the match and let out a "woo!"

After an initial flurry of offence by the champions, Storm & Awesome took control, working over Palumbo, keeping him away from his corner. Eventually, Palumbo caught Storm with a Clothesline, which left both men down.</p><p> </p><p> Both men crawled to their respective corners, with the crowd eagerly anticipating O'Haire getting back into the match. The tags were simultaneous, and Awesome showed off his incredible agility by popping up to the top rope as O'Haire rushed across the ring. Awesome hit a Cross Body Block, but O'Haire rolled through and, in an unbelievable display of strength, lifted Awesome up and dropped him with the Widow Maker for the pin!</p><p> </p><p> In a decent match, Palumbo & O'Haire defeated Team Canada in 18:09 when Sean O'Haire defeated Mike Awesome by pinfall with The Widow Maker.

Rhyme1234 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Paul Heyman switches off the TV with a smirk on his face. He just finished watching WCW’s The Big Bang and realized that he needs to step up his game even more than usual or even more than he could go. Heyman notes down his ideas onto his notebook and making use of everything written in a clean way to master it in the end. Heyman still knows the fact how ECW made it almost to the top, he’s knows that he’s going to boost the ratings one way or the other. “I am going to make everyone pay” said Heyman, but first “Bischoff, you’re gonna’ be my bitch”. Heyman is fully ready to make his project THE BEST! <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:RelyOnVML/> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso
