Paul Heyman is going through the list of matches are set for WWF Judgment day, a knock at the door interrupts him. Vince McMahon comes in and talks about him doing the best that he could to get the promotion going. He really does not want his competition to be the very best, he wants him to be the very best, he wants the WWF to be the very best. Heyman assures that he’s exactly working on that. Heyman says that McMahon has to have some faith onto Heyman. McMahon gives Heyman a pat on the back before leaving. Heyman gives McMahon a death stare from the back which McMahon does not see. Heyman knows what he is up to and why he’s here in the first place. Heyman once again looks onto the match card before taking in a very close towards it, he sees the following matches lined up -

Strong card. I'd've paid to watch that. Are you taking predictions? Also, where's Rock? Is he on hiatus at this point? I don't think I've played this mod. Great work, both of you, keep it going.

This was around the time The Rock was filming the Scorpion King movie.

EBEZA · October 4, 2019

Match Card:

-Al Snow vs. Hardcore Holly – [Grudge Match]

Comments: Al won on Heat and stood tall, so I figure Bob gets some measure of revenge here.

-X Pac vs. Jerry Lynn – [WWF Light Heavyweight Championship]

Comments: Again based on who stood tall the last time they clashed.

-Lita vs. Ivory – [Grudge Match]

Comments: I imagine you much prefer Lita to Ivory, plus it moves her closer to a Women's Championship feud with...

-Chyna vs. Trish Stratus – [WWF Women’s Championship]

Comments: You've not been afraid to put Trish over Chyna, but I think you're heading towards Trish vs Lita, so Trish gets the belt here.

-The APA vs. Albert & A-Train vs. Team 3D – [Tag Team Grudge Match]

Comments: (Three-sided) coin flip, tbh.

-Test vs. Rhino – [WWF Hardcore Championship]

Comments: Rhyno is on a roll! I could see Test winning if Billy Gunn decides to get revenge from Smackdown.

-Matt Hardy vs. Raven – [WWF European Championship]

Comments: Honestly, I just want Raven to win <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

-Triple H vs. Chris Jericho – [WWF Intercontinental Championship]

Comments: Decided to give the Power Trip one win and one loss, and I don't think Austin's losing.

-Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Undertaker – [WWF Championship]

Comments: Austin isn't dropping the title just yet, IMO.</div>

Bigelow Cartwheel · October 5, 2019

Thank you very much!
Yes, I am taking predictions.

Sweet.

Match Card:

-Al Snow vs. Hardcore Holly – [Grudge Match]

Comments: Always Al. WHAT DOES EVERYBODY WANT?!?! for that reason alone. Except that he's also a quality worker.

-X Pac vs. Jerry Lynn – [WWF Light Heavyweight Championship]

Comments: I would headline with this match. I mean, Vince wouldn't but F him. Highlight of the night for me.

-Lita vs. Ivory – [Grudge Match]

Comments: Makes sense

-Chyna vs. Trish Stratus – [WWF Women’s Championship]

Comments: Same. Got to push to a Trish/Lita feud. I mean, if you want to.

-The APA vs. Albert & A-Train vs. Team 3D – [Tag Team Grudge Match]

Comments: I might have missed something here. Team 3D in WWF should still be called the Dudleys, right? And aren't Albert and A-Train the same guy? Anyway, the boys from Dudleyville to take this one.

-Test vs. Rhino – [WWF Hardcore Championship]

Comments: All day long.

-Matt Hardy vs. Raven – [WWF European Championship]

Comments: Again, I'd have this dude main eventing but it's clear Vince was never going to. His problem, not mine. Raven is money.

-Triple H vs. Chris Jericho – [WWF Intercontinental Championship]

Comments: Trips will win... but you can't make me vote for him.

-Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Undertaker – [WWF Championship]

Comments: Double DQ/Count out. Two awesome dudes. No loss. Stellar match.

Eric Bischoff switched off the TV in his office at home, having just watched WWF Judgment Day. Then, the phone rang.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="download.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/C6YD91D/download.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div>

??: "Hey, Eric! You watch the show? It was pretty good, right?"

That voice... is that...

<div style="text-align:center;"><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" /></div>

EB: "Bill??"

BDM: "Of course it's me! Who'd you think it was? Never mind... so, you see the show?"

EB: "Yes, Bill, I saw the show. What do you want?"

BDM: "It was a pretty good pay-per-view, huh? Maybe even slightly better than The Big Bang, if I may be so bold!"

EB: "That's your opinion..."

BDM: "It's everyone's opinion, Eric! You should see the message boards! Anyway, that's why I'm calling... I want to help. Now I know you're gonna say I'm helping in NWA:Wildside, training new guys up, but I want to be on the front line!"

I could see where this had come from. Less than two weeks ago, Lash Leroux had emailed me (for the second time in as many weeks) requesting to be called back up, and I had asked Bill what he thought. Despite Bill saying that Leroux could use a little more polishing, I brought him up anyway, and now Bill's seen that all you have to do is pester me and I'll put you on TV.

Well, I'd made my bed, guess I'd just have to lie in it...

EB: "Sure, Bill. Come to TV tomorrow, I'll see what I can figure out for you."

BDM: "Thanks, Eric! You won't regret it!"

But I already was...

<div style="text-align:center;">PING!

PING!</div>

Oh God, what now?

<div style="text-align:center;"><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="Yoshihiro-Tajiri-3.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/FH651L7/Yoshihiro-Tajiri-3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

What the-?</div>

Back-to-back emails from Chavo and Tajiri? I opened Tajiri's first, and it was just a picture of him, posing in a professionally done photo, looking... actually pretty good! A lot more muscular than I remember him being! Okay, good for him!

Now, what did Chavo want?... Oh. Also a posed picture, in front of the same backdrop as Tajiri's. What these two lacked in subtlety, they had clearly been making up for in gym time, as Chavo was looking pretty jacked, too!

And like that, an idea popped into my head! Before Nitro aired the next night, we would have a tag team match: Chavo Guerrero Jr. & Yoshihiro Tajiri vs... Hugh Morrus & Lash Leroux! If either (or both) of the teams showed any kind of chemistry together, we might be onto something, especially with Bill & Lash's history in the Misfits In Action stable...

In a decent match, Lance Storm defeated Jim Duggan in 7:40 by submission with a Canadian Maple Leaf after interference from Disco Inferno and Khosrow Daivari. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-cplus.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/1GDwy7k/grade-cplus.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="Jim-Duggan-2.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/t2PRFQH/Jim-Duggan-2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Lance-Storm-5.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/gJPh6z0/Lance-Storm-5.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Disco-Inferno-7.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/hYgSjJt/Disco-Inferno-7.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Shawn-Daivari.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/nQmMJxp/Shawn-Daivari.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> After the match, Storm, Disco & Daivari put the boots to Duggan, until... <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="Mike-Awesome-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/KyK4B3k/Mike-Awesome-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Mike Awesome hit the ring!</div> Awesome dispatched the villainous trio from the ring in short order, then helped Duggan to his feet, much to the joy of the fans! Mike Awesome's face turn was a complete success! <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-d.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/nLVKvMZ/grade-d.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="Mike-Awesome-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/KyK4B3k/Mike-Awesome-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> But Awesome wasn't done yet...</div> Mike Awesome grabbed a microphone and demanded a WCW World Television Championship match right now! Disco, Daivari and Storm were at the top of the ramp shaking their heads at this request, however... <div style="text-align:center;"><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" /> WOOOOOOOOOO!</div> Ric Flair came out onto the stage and, in an uncharacteristically crowd-friendly move (after some improvised back-and-forth with Awesome that both men clearly enjoyed), announced the match would begin right... now! <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-cplus.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/1GDwy7k/grade-cplus.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> WCW World Television Championship <img alt="WCWTValt.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/XFtk26T/WCWTValt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="Disco-Inferno-7.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/hYgSjJt/Disco-Inferno-7.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="Mike-Awesome-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/KyK4B3k/Mike-Awesome-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Disco Inferno © vs Mike Awesome</div> Wow, Awesome and Inferno had some great chemistry together! Obviously, Awesome dominated the majority of the match, but even so, you could tell they clicked! Awesome dominated so much that Storm and Daivari eventually hit the ring and attacked him right in front of Charles Robinson, handing him the victory by disqualification, but not the TV Title. In a decent match, Mike Awesome defeated Disco Inferno in 7:56 when Disco Inferno was disqualified when Lance Storm and Khosrow Daivari ran in and attacked Mike Awesome. <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" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="Chris-Kanyon-2k1.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/bBT0H7b/Chris-Kanyon-2k1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="miss-jones.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/WH0gTVv/miss-jones.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Next, we cut backstage to Miss Jones approaching Kanyon. Jones asked Kanyon if he wanted to go out on a date! Jones explained that, although being stripped by Kanyon and Kwee Wee last week was humiliating, she hasn't been able to stop thinking about Kanyon since! Kanyon was sceptical, pointing out that Jones is already in a relationship with Ernest Miller. Jones insisted that their relationship was purely professional, and insisted she was here for pleasure, not business. Kanyon seemed uncomfortable and quickly said that Miss Jones just isn't "his type" before hurrying away, leaving her looking genuinely upset. <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" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="Ernest-Miller-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/BwZx449/Ernest-Miller-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="MI-Smooth.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/km6Wg5D/MI-Smooth.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="Chris-Kanyon-2k1.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/bBT0H7b/Chris-Kanyon-2k1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Kwee-Wee.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/qD5wZVQ/Kwee-Wee.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Ernest Miller & M.I. Smooth vs Kanyon & Kwee Wee</div> This match told a great story. As they made their entrance, you could see a still upset Miss Jones telling Miller what had happened (or at least a version of events), so the story of the match was Miller wanting to rip Kanyon apart. Smooth ran interference and tagged himself in whenever Miller was getting out of control, but even M.I. Smooth couldn't stop Miller from getting himself disqualified for being overenthusiastic in his pursuit of Kanyon! In a poor match, Kanyon and Kwee Wee defeated Ernest Miller and M.I. Smooth in 8:03 when Ernest Miller got disqualified after going into a rage and refusing to stop assaulting Kanyon. <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" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="Dusty-Rhodes-7.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/qDd964T/Dusty-Rhodes-7.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Dusty Rhodes cut a classic Dusty promo on his son, Dustin. Dusty talked about Dustin losing sight of what makes a Rhodes a Rhodes, and he was ready to take his son to the woodshed at the Great American Bash! <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-a.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/1J7ytJV/grade-a.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="Billy-Kidman-2k.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/BCQjWsT/Billy-Kidman-2k.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="Elix-Skipper-2.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/5RnrY12/Elix-Skipper-2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Billy Kidman vs Elix Skipper</div> This was everything WCW fans have come to expect of the Cruiserweight division. High spots galore, superb athleticism, and a shot with a foreign object pulled out of Kidman's shorts?! That's right, just as the match was reaching its climax, Kidman rolled out of the ring. Skipper was going to launch himself at Kidman, but had to apply the breaks when Kidman pulled Torrie Wilson in front of him! Nick Patrick directed Torrie out of the way and, as his back was turned, Skipper reached out of the ring to grab Kidman, but Kidman reached into his pocket and hit Skipper with some object, which he quickly returned to his pocket! Kidman then hit a Shooting Star Press for good measure, but it was academic. In a decent match, Billy Kidman defeated Elix Skipper in 9:45 by pinfall after using a foreign object. <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" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="Randy-Savage-31.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/QY6YmBy/Randy-Savage-31.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Up next, Randy Savage had a backstage promo, in which he talked about his upcoming match with Rick Steiner at Clash Of The Champions. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-b.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/1YVN23N/grade-b.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="Kevin-Nash-18.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/Yknk5V3/Kevin-Nash-18.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="Kid-Romeo.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/rQYgDVv/Kid-Romeo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Kevin Nash vs Kid Romeo</div> A classic David vs Goliath match, except David forgot his slingshot in this one. That's not to say that Romeo didn't get some offence in; in fact, this match was probably a lot more open than people might've expected, with Nash letting Romeo get his stuff in. At the end of the day, though, Nash's size, strength and experience advantage was too much, and he put Romeo away with a Jacknife. In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Kevin Nash defeated Kid Romeo in 7:52 by pinfall with a Jacknife Power Bomb. <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" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="Kevin-Nash-18.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/Yknk5V3/Kevin-Nash-18.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Nash grabbed a microphone!</div> Nash then went on to talk about his victory and his career, with DDP (who had been at ringside for his match but not gotten involved) chipping in occasional smart remarks. Nash improvised well, and managed to put himself over without coming across as arrogant or "heelish." <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-bplus.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/pWPrR1m/grade-bplus.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.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" /> Up next, Ric Flair came to the ring!</div> Flair cut a promo on Randy Savage, talking about how he got lucky against Scott Steiner at The Big Bang, and he was going to regret challenging Rick Steiner at Clash Of The Champions. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="Randy-Savage-31.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/QY6YmBy/Randy-Savage-31.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> This brought out Savage!</div> Savage made his way slowly and deliberately to the ring to confront Flair... <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="Rick-Steiner-3.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/ZBzW6Ly/Rick-Steiner-3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Scott-Steiner-7.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/vmswfRd/Scott-Steiner-7.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Out of nowhere, the Steiners attacked!</div> The Steiner Brothers got the jump on Savage, and he didn't stand a chance. After plenty of punishment in the ringside area, they rolled him into the ring. Rick hit a Bulldog from the top rope, then Scott applied the Steiner Recliner to the prone World Heavyweight Champion. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-b.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/1YVN23N/grade-b.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="Colt-Cabana-2k1.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/sJ7srNx/Colt-Cabana-2k1.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="Fit-Finlay-1.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/XkN7bMn/Fit-Finlay-1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Colt Cabana vs Fit Finlay</div> This was a bit of a departure from our usual type of match, as newcomer Colt Cabana and veteran Fit Finlay put on... I guess you'd call it a comedy match! Little known to a lot of people, but Dave (Finlay) had quite the sense of comedic timing, especially as the "straight man" in a double act. Cabana was a funny kid, so we put them out there to give the crowd a bit of a breather in such an intense night. The crowd ate up Cabana's "overly scared of Finlay" routine, but in the end, Dave picked up the win. In a terrible match, Fit Finlay defeated Colt Cabana in 8:02 by pinfall with a Tombstone Piledriver. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-d.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/nLVKvMZ/grade-d.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="DDP-6.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/99CpWpX/DDP-6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Diamond Dallas Page was back out here!</div> DDP commented on the cowardly nature of Flair and the Steiners' attack on Randy Savage earlier, and challenged Flair to a match, right here, right now! <div style="text-align:center;"><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" /> WOOOOOOOOOO!</div> Flair came out onto the stage, still in his suit. After some awkward improvised dialogue (both men struggled for some reason, despite being two of our best guys on the "stick"), Flair accepted DDP's challenge, then proceeded to strip down... to his wrestling gear! Why did Flair have his full wrestling gear under his suit? Because he's Ric Flair, I guess! <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-b.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/1YVN23N/grade-b.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="DDP-6.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/99CpWpX/DDP-6.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="Ric-Flair-2k1.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/CPk72h4/Ric-Flair-2k1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Diamond Dallas Page vs Ric Flair</div> This match could've main evented any pay-per-view we put on for the entire year, and the crowd knew it, meaning they were mega into it! Page and Flair put on the best match of the night in our main event, and it went back and forth until... <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="Buff-Bagwell.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/hm6k6Gh/Buff-Bagwell.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> BUFF! DADDY!</div> Buff Bagwell's music hit, and he came out onto the stage, doing his full entrance routine as if there weren't anything else going on in the ring! Of course, this distracted DDP and Billy Silverman, which allowed Flair to, in one fluid motion, hit Page with a low blow and a Schoolboy roll-up for the three! In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Ric Flair defeated Diamond Dallas Page in 11:06 by pinfall after a distraction from Buff Bagwell. <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" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="Buff-Bagwell.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/hm6k6Gh/Buff-Bagwell.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Bagwell got in the ring and grabbed a mic!</div> Buff apologised to Flair for interrupting like that, but the huge smiles on both men's faces suggested that Flair wasn't too bothered. Buff explained that DDP didn't deserve to main event Nitro with the Nature Boy, but you know who did? The man who has pinned Sting twice within the last couple of weeks, Buff "The Stuff" Bagwell! Bagwell clarified that no-one wanted to see him and Flair fight, just seeing them in the ring together was enough of a main event! Then, Buff proceeded to challenge Sting to a one-on-one match at the Great American Bash! And then the lights went out... <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="Sting-29.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/DQH0m2q/Sting-29.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> It's Sting!!!</div> When the lights came back on, Sting was standing in the place of Flair, with Flair nowhere to be seen, and with Sting's baseball bat outstretched and pressed against the throat of a terrified Buff Bagwell! Sting motioned for Bagwell to pass him his mic, which Buff did very cautiously. Sting then simply said, "you're on!" The crowd went wild! <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="grade-a.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/1J7ytJV/grade-a.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="WCW-4.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/mhZ74sc/WCW-4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> OVERALL SHOW RATING: <img alt="grade-b.jpg" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/1YVN23N/grade-b.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div>

Post #100

OOC: I just want to use the 100th post on this thread to thank everyone for the support so far, and for the DOTM nominations!

This diary is a lot of fun for me, but between me having two jobs until recently and Rhyme having exams, we've struggled to get a lot of shows out. Hopefully, that'll improve going forward, as I already have about four years of WCW planned out!

Up next: Smackdown, followed by the Clash Of The Champions card for predictions
