Ric and I have had our ups and downs on a personal level, but if Ric Flair sees that much potential in someone, you’d better damn well listen! I made a note to keep an eye on this kid, see how he progresses…</p><p> </p><p> I also decided to leave Arn Anderson and Kevin Nash alone, as my meddling hadn’t exactly been helping their relationship! Instead, I tried to get DDP and Scott Steiner together, but neither party was really interested in making amends at the moment. Ah, well! At least I didn’t make it worst this time!</p><p> </p><p> I went over to our notice board, and admired the card for our first Clash Of The Champions in nearly four years:</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Clash Of The Champions XXXVI Match Card</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> WCW World Television Champion vs WCW Cruiserweight Champion</strong></p><p> Disco Inferno vs Shane Helms</p><p> </p><p> <strong>WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions vs WCW World Tag Team Champions</strong></p><p> Billy Kidman & Rey Misterio Jr. vs Chuck Palumbo & Sean O’Haire</p><p> </p><p> <strong>WCW World Heavyweight Champion vs WCW United States Heavyweight Champion</strong></p><p> Randy Savage vs Rick Steiner</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> So, there we have it!

How long's he out for? (I've never sent anyone to rehab, don't play as big companies).

 

They usually stay away for six months.

 

Yeah, I got nine months

For the record, Kanyon had already come out to his friends and family, and all involved were fine with the angle playing out this way. Kanyon wanted to be publicly “out,” but without being pigeon-holed into a certain character. This achieved that and, despite the initial poor reaction, I believed would turn him babyface with the audience, too.</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> <img alt="Hugh-Morrus-2-K.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/hH162NJ/Hugh-Morrus-2-K.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <em>Hugh Morrus came out to the ring next</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Bill (I just can’t bring myself to talk about “Hugh Morrus”) grabbed a mic and talked up the importance of hometown heroes, such as former Postmaster General, Samuel Osgood, who was born in North Andover, Massachusetts, where this Nitro was being held! This received a decidedly lukewarm reception from the crowd, which was probably mostly for the mention of the town itself. This continued with a couple of other examples (former NHL player Steve Heinze and actor James Spader), until Bill realised he was losing the crowd and got to the point.</p><p> </p><p> He was out here tonight, as a veteran of 13 years in the wrestling business, to give a local wrestler the chance to step into the ring with him. Any wrestler worth their salt, he claimed, took their gear everywhere, just in case.

I think, despite Cena’s impressive physique, people still expected a squash match, so they were surprised that the match was pretty open, and Cena got in roughly equal offence! If they were surprised by that, they must’ve been thoroughly shocked when Bill missed his “No Laughing Matter” Moonsault, then got rolled up in a La Magistral Cradle for the three!</p><p> </p><p> In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, John Cena defeated Hugh Morrus in 8:28 by pinfall with a roll up.</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> <img alt="Hugh-Morrus-2-K.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/hH162NJ/Hugh-Morrus-2-K.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="John-Cena.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/YPTPDRC/John-Cena.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> After the match, Bill popped up to his feet, still holding his stomach from the missed Moonsault, and approached Cena. Bill held out his hand, Cena shook it, and Bill left him in the ring to celebrate his big debut win. It’s worth mentioning here, Bill protested against losing to Cena vehemently before the show began, but once he realised he wasn’t going to change my mind, he went out and did his job like a pro.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-eplus.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/Jpdh7qZ/grade-eplus.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="Booker-T-2-K1.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/n0zswGT/Booker-T-2-K1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><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><p> <em>We cut backstage to Ric Flair’s office, which has Booker T in his ring gear in it!</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Booker cut a promo on Ric about how he never lost the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and, as much as he respected Randy Savage, he wanted his belt back, tonight!

I don’t normally do play-by-play, but I reckon I can do this one from memory! Nash walked over to Kwee Wee and towered over him, laughing. After some mockery, mostly based on the size discrepancy, Kwee Wee had had enough, and hit Nash with a couple of punches to the chest, then bounced off the ropes… into a Big Boot. Nash then lifted Kwee Wee up, Powerbombed him, and pinned him.

Nash still threw his weight around (or, more accurately, threw Skipper around), but Skipper used a combination of speed, agility, and cheating to make this a much more open match than most might have expected. There wasn’t a shortcut Skipper wasn’t willing to take, and it helped him almost take down the big man on more than one occasion. Eventually, though, the size difference caught up with Skipper. He went for a Hurricanrana, which Nash caught and promptly Powerbombed him for another victory.</p><p> </p><p> In a decent match, Kevin Nash defeated Elix Skipper in 8:23 by pinfall with a Jacknife Power Bomb.

Maybe Punk was slightly overused (the fans in attendance had seen him in a pre-show tag match, too) and, with hindsight, I probably gave Hugh Morrus vs John Cena far too much time, but you live and learn!</div></blockquote>
