1995: All is Fair in Love and War

Levinux · August 1, 2019

In September 1995, World Championship Wrestling, determined to continue to ride the momentum of Hulk Hogan's arrival the previous year, officially declared war against the World Wrestling Federation when they launched a new TV wrestling show; Monday Nitro.

A clear and direct attack towards Vince McMahon's Monday Night Raw, which has been airing on Monday's since 1993. It only makes sense that WCW strikes now. With Eric Bischoff being in control of WCW TV production since 1993, it was only a matter of time that their mainstream success took the next step. The logical step. It was inevitable.

WCW's momentum isn't only affecting the WWF, it's also having ramifications around the country as smaller promotions are mixed with hope that they can also step up in time, and fear that a war between the two biggest promotions in the world could extinguish their fan base.

Smokey Mountain Wrestling, dead set on maintaining their current product and direction, refuses to let this potential war affect them. With a loyal fan base and a product that is near to many hearts, Jim Cornette is set to maintain their own momentum as a top regional promotion in the country and will have comments on the potential WCW vs WWF war, I'm sure.

So, we come to it. In what can be easily said to be the birth of our current wrestling product, war is here. When conservative creative TV turned into a "thinking outside the box" process to one-up everyone else. How will history play out? In this dynasty, we turn the clock back 24 years and we find out.

Levinux · August 1, 2019

ATLANTA, GA - WCW and TNT are teaming up to offer a new prime time wrestling show; WCW Monday Nitro. Monday Nitro will air live every Monday, unlike WWF's Monday Night Raw, which has been taped since it's launch in 1993. What does this mean for the wrestling industry? It means the war is officially on, and WCW just took a huge part of the board. Vince McMahon's WWF? Your move.

McMahon: DAMMIT!

Vince McMahon sits in his top-floor office in Greenwich, CT and throws the newspaper across the room. His secretary comes barging in, as the door is open.

Secretary: Mr. McMahon, is everything okay?

McMahon: No, everything is not okay. I need to see Brisco and Patterson right now. Right now!

30 minutes later...

McMahon: There is a problem...

McMahon points to the newspaper, still all over the floor. Patterson picks it up then looks at McMahon with a look of worry.

Patterson: Vince, what is Ted thinking?

McMahon: It's not Turner, Pat. It's Bischoff.

Brisco: Now, I think we're all getting ahead of ourselves. Sure, they have Hogan but I mean, are they going to put the entire company on his back? It's not possible

Patterson looks at Brisco, then McMahon.

Brisco: What? What don't I know?

Patterson: Kevin isn't re-signing.

Brisco: What? Why am I just hearing this?

McMahon slams his hands on his desk

McMahon: DAMMIT, BECAUSE I HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL! I'm meeting with Kevin next week to discuss renewing his contract personally.

Brisco: I can't imagine it would not go in our favor, Vince.

McMahon: Well, he already has an offer from WCW and it's an amount of guaranteed money that I'm not sure I'm willing to match.

Patterson: Vince, we can have him drop the belt at Survivor Series, then he can just sit the rest of his contract out. Even if he goes down south, he'll have been off TV for months.

McMahon: Our entire product revolves around him, Pat. What do you want me to do, just rip the title off him and have a vacant championship?

Patterson: Well...

McMahon: How about I strip everyone of their titles, Pat? Do you know what that could do to a company?

The room is silent until Vince Russo happens to storm into the room

Russo: Vince!

McMahon: DAMMIT! Why didn't you close the door, Pat?

Russo: Vince, I have this great idea and I think we could pull it off.

McMahon: Russo, this is not the time...

Russo: No it is the time. Vince, if you can just hear...

McMahon: If you'd like to make an appointment, please get with Karen, she'll be happy to set something up.

Pat Patterson puts his arm on Russo's back in an attempt to redirect him out the door

Patterson (quietly): I know you're full of ideals kid, but this isn't the time. Didn't you hear? WCW has declared war on us by launching a Monday night show. Direct competition to Monday Night Raw!

Russo (quietly): I know this is why I need to talk to Vince.

Patterson (quietly): I'm sure he can fit you in next week sometime, but now isn't the time.

Patterson just about has Russo out of McMahon's office...

Russo: TURN BRET HEEL!

McMahon: STOP!

Vince motions for Russo to approach his desk

McMahon: What did you just say?

Russo: Turn Bret Hart heel. I've been talking around with a couple of the guys, and I don't have a complete story yet, but I'm almost there. I just need some time to get the final pieces together, but we can...

McMahon: I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'm not turning Bret Hart heel when I'm on the edge of losing the face of this company. Now, if you want to go see Kar...

Russo: No, Vince. I'm sorry to interrupt, but you won't be losing the face of the company. Let Nash go, he isn't making as much money as you could be.

McMahon: And just what do you anticipate I do? Have a heel as my main guy?

Russo reaches into his bag, which is a mess and pulls out a folded up picture. As he unfolds it, he sets it in front of McMahon.

Russo: No, because this guy will be your new face.

McMahon looks down at the promotional image Russo set in front of him, then looks back up at Russo.

McMahon: You're suggesting I turn Bret Hart heel, and this guy face?

Russo: If you want to begin fighting WCW right now, yes.

McMahon: Let me get back to you on this. Everyone, I have a meeting with a top star right now, so if you don't mind, let's pick this back up at the Raw taping Tuesday?

Russo, Patterson and Brisco exit McMahon's office, Brisco and Patterson talking quietly among themselves while Russo has a gleam in his eye and a grin on his face, as McMahon's appointment shows up.

McMahon: Ah! Lex, come sit down!

http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/WWF/People/Ted%20Turner%202.JPG

Turner: “Yes, Eric, please have a seat.”

http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/WWF/People/Eric%20Bischoff%2094.jpg

Bischoff: “Thanks Ted. I’ve brought the next quarter’s ideas. We’ve got Hogan fighting Luger...”

Turner: “Let’s just stop right there. Why did you decide to steal Lex from Vince and for that ridiculous a price, Eric? You promised that signing Hogan would put us in the black, then Savage, then all of Hogan’s buddies. We’re no closer to being profitable now than we were when I hired you in 1993.”

Bischoff: “Lex was one of Vince’s top guys, Mr. Turner. If we take just a few more of them, he’s going to have to have Doink the Clown in the main event or a huge program between Yokozuna and King Mabel to see who can sweat less in 5 minutes. Plus, business is way down for Vince too, but we’re ticking up.”

Turner:“Yes, let’s talk about you reaching out to Vince’s guys. Are you familiar with the term Contract Tampering, Eric? I’m sure Vince was shocked to hear the terms of the contract YOU offered Kevin Nash without clearing it with me first. A person with 8 months left on his contract, I might add.”

Bischoff: “That liar! He swore his contract was up in 2 months! I didn’t know, and he called me, Mr. Turner! That’s why I didn’t have a chance to run the offer by you. This was just something we both worked out over an hour conversation. Some of it was his idea.”

Turner: “Let me stop you right there. Business is down everywhere. He’s the face of their company. While it’s down lower than any point in history since Vince swindled it from his father. And your bright idea is to tamper with a contract AND let the talent dictate the terms of his contract? You want to let the employees run the place, Eric? That’s how you put us out of business just giving out ridiculous contracts to guys who can’t sell out arenas or sell moves. We’re WCW and wrestling matters, dammit!”

Bischoff: “Okay, I’m sorry. It’ll never happen again. Just let me open Nitro, and you can give me whatever suspension you want, sir.”

Turner: “Honestly, that was the original plan, but what I’ve heard and the red ink I’ve seen, I’ve reached the conclusion that you’re a two-bit hustler who I never should have hired in the first place. I hope you’ve enjoyed your time at the top. You’re Fired!”

OOC: I can’t stand Eric, and I just love firing him in every single game I can. So, out he goes. I’m using Hogan as my UC mainly because it is almost a necessity in any of the mid-to-late 90’s mods due to his attitude, contract and his likelihood of bailing for Hollywood for months at a time. In actuality, this is going to be a collaboration between Hogan, Flair, and Dusty as a booking committee. Larry Z is going to be the on-screen WCW Director of Authority.

Very interesting

Lord Byron · August 3, 2019

If by turning Bret heel you mean turning him heel in the US and keeping him a face internationally (like in Canada and Europe, similar to how Bret was booked in 1997 IRL) is your plan, then I'm all for it, @Levinux (I liked that Bret, IMO).

The Monday Night Wars with no Bischoff is going to be interesting, methinks...

DHK1989 · August 3, 2019

The Monday Night Wars with no Bischoff is going to be interesting, methinks...

That just leaves me wondering so much. Without Bischoff, does that mean there's no nWo?

smartman · August 3, 2019

Have absolutely no fear. I will only do stupid stuff 20% of the time instead of the 70% that Eric did.

And I still have the problem of Hogan as a face that isn't super-connected to the traditional WCW fan. There's no way I'm bringing in Nash and Hall, since they're the reason WCW died, but an NWO in some shape and form isn't out of the question. I forget who did the excellent diary with the Kings of Wrestling. I particularly liked that.

Jim Cornette

Well God dangit Rubin just let me know that he isn’t going to be able to keep funding us. He gave us one last cash infusion and told me that he would still watch when he could but that he couldn’t continue to support us. On top of that McMahon’s been running me ragged on the road with Rodney and Fuji. I’ll see if Bruce can put in a word. That douchebag Bischoff is out of WCW now, I haven’t liked him since he screwed my angle with Watts. But right now screw’em Brian is really helping me out right now with Smoky Mountain while I’m being dragged all over the freaking country by Vince. At least there’s not an idiot working in the WWF that I hate more than Bischoff… *Opens Mountain Dew* Oh well time to make the next TV.</div>

smartman · August 6, 2019

The Problem: Copying late 80's WWF in mid-90's WCW isn't working.

The Solution: Give the WCW fans what they want while utilizing the megastars we now have while taking the handful of future superstars we have and building them up.

http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/WWF/People/Hulk%20Hogan%2094.jpghttp://tew.levinuxgaming.com/WWF/People/Dusty%20Rhodes%2095%20alt.jpghttp://tew.levinuxgaming.com/WWF/People/Ric%20Flair.jpg

Hulk: Thank you guys for joining me for this brainstorming session. Eric getting fired and Ted dumping all of this in my lap was quite a shock for everyone. I need you guys. You're WCW to the core, and you're the only ones that have ever booked a successful fed against Vince. So, here's all the notes Ted's team stole from Eric's office before he was fired. Obviously, we're going to throw a bunch of them out, but I'm thinking of leaving the first Nitro almost untouched.

Ric: If we're going to go back to old-school WCW, we need to make a change. We need to rebuild The Four Horsemen. I know we've built towards Arn and me, but if he attacks Sting in our match, the fans won't care. You've heard the chants.

HH: sad sigh Yeah, they love you, and I was going to suggest that. Who do you have in mind? Do you want Luger? (5 minutes of laughter from all 3 of them later) Oh, wow, I think we all needed that. So, names?

Dusty: Pillman would be perfect. I know you've loved the guy for years. I've also been combing through the tapes for Eric, and I think this guy is perfect.

Ric: How perfect?

Dusty: He's Ole's son. And looks just like him. Doesn't help him with the ladies but the fans should buy in pretty quickly.

Ric: Sold! Pillman is a star as long as he can stay out of his own way.

Hulk: Okay. What about the tag scene?

Dusty & Ric: The Steiners

Hulk: I figured that would be said so they've already been offered contracts as of this morning. It looks like we've got too many heel teams. My buddies can't hold down things on their own. They're good guys, but Arn & Tully they aren't.

Dusty: Offer The Fantastics. NJPW would love for us to gut AJPW anyway. Bring back Steve Williams too as another heel team with Rotunda. Buck and Slater are just about done in the ring.

Ric: The Steiners can hold things down while we build up Harlem Heat and some of the young guys. WCW was best when the tag division was the envy of pro wrestling.

Hulk: Okay, we'll talk some more on the flight to Minneapolis. Maybe I won't get booed up there.

Somehow The Mall of America isn't in the data, thus I had to go with a generic venue. I kept most of the show identical to how it happened. Pillman and Liger tore the house down. Arn interfered in the match, but this time in order to help Flair. Luger came out during the main event which distracted Hogan and let The Giant sneak (okay, lumber) behind him and chokeslam him for the DQ win. I went with Beefcake instead of Bossman for the better stats and well, why wouldn't Hogan book his best friend in the main event of the first Nitro?

September 1995...

Vince McMahon sits at his desk in his Greenwich, CT home and fiddles with some paperwork on his desk. Tomorrow's Monday Night Raw taping is in the New England area, he's able to get some final things in place before he heads out tomorrow morning.

Linda: Vince, you really should come to bed. Tomorrow is a long day.

Vince: Linda, you know I can't leave things undone. It's just who I am!

Linda: But if you come to bed...

Vince's office phone rings.

Vince: Just a second, Linda.

Linda glares at Vince.

Vince picks up the phone and responds with a sarcastic tone to try and lighten the mood he just brought down with Linda.

http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/WWF/People/Bruce%20Prichard%2099.jpg

Vince: Hello, Vincent McMahon!

Prichard: Vince! Turn on TNT right now!

Vince: Bruce! You know I don't watch that garbage, I'm more interested in...

Prichard: TURN ON TNT!

Vince: Okay dammit, get a grip will you?

Vince reaches over and turns on the TV to see Lex Luger getting involved in the Hulk Hogan vs. Zodiac match on WCW Monday Nitro.

Vince: WHAT THE HELL! DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?! I JUST TALKED TO LEX LAST WEEK!

Prichard: I know, I know. I'm on my way over right now.

Vince: DAMMIT, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING!

Prichard: Vince, I am...

Vince slams down the phone, knocking papers on the floor.

Vince: Linda!

Linda, rolling her eyes exiting the room

Linda: I'll get the coffee.

I've reviewed all of the shows of this on cagematch, and I can't even attempt to replicate it. It's a B+++ show most of the time. However, since booking a 2hr B show is something Satan punishes people with in hell, I made it an A show. Plus, if I'm ever going to get pop gains, I need a 2hr A show, and I'm not adjusting Nitro until it's historically accurate. The mod has Main Event as a B show so I do have one of those too. Both are taped on Thursdays so Nitro will remain as my only live show. <div style="text-align:center;">http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/WWF/TV/WCW%20Saturday%20Night.jpg "It's 6:05 PM on Saturday Night on the Superstation, the mecca of professional wrestling for over 20 years, and this is World Championship Wrestling, the #1 professional wrestling on the planet.

Darn right Pillman is THE future superstar.

smartman · August 10, 2019

He was always someone that impressed Flair. And thanks to me coming to my senses and turning off drug testing, he won't get dinged again for hard drugs. Somehow Flair did which I'm wondering if that's a mod error (it's at 2% so never affects his matches). Just really bad idea to ever run drug testing from 83-2000. Way too many drugs in wrestling back then, even if you turn off steroids and soft drugs and test only for hard drugs and painkillers.

I wanted to recreate one of the most underrated tag teams of all time, but I let Austin go to the WWF because that won't bite me at all. Now, hopefully, he can stay out of his own way.

A pre-recorded video is shown with The Undertaker and Paul Bearer. Bearer says that King Mabel couldn't handle losing to The Undertaker, so now Sir Mo thinks he has a chance. The Undertaker slowly chimes in as he sands down the top of a casket and says he has the perfect way to end Sir Mo.

The cameras head backstage where they find Jim Cornette and Owen Hart & Yokozuna engaged in an animated conversation. It appears as if Cornette is pleading with Yokozuna and Owen Hart, though the sound isn't clear. As soon as the group notice the camera, they hurry off screen.

Another Sunday afternoon booking meeting with Hulk, Flair, and Dusty

Hulk: Okay, you've convinced me. We'll change it to 2 WarGames matches. Give the old-school fans the 4 Horsemen vs Sting & Friends and Randy and I will fight the Dungeon of Doom with Barry & Ron. That'll give me some tough guys that WCW fans love. Plus, it'll make Paul (The Giant) look even tougher.

Ric: This will help The Steiners too since they're making their return after Vince completely ruined them. I mean they didn't put them in polka dots, but it was a shame.

Dusty: I made those look good, Ric, and you know it. That'll let Hawk split the power moves with Scotty. You going to get in the Steiner Recliner again, Ric?

Ric: Ouch, my back just spasmed thinking about it. Arn and I have been working a little with Bryant. That guy is going to be good. Hopefully, we'll get him settled to the bright lights in time.

Hulk: Yeah, that 6-man tomorrow night should help. You gotta carry the show since Lex is in the main event. I'm throwing Jim to him and let them brawl since neither are good wrestlers. WCW fans seem to love brawls.

Dusty: We sure do, though we'd like to like one of 'em. I remember this one time in 1978 when I was fighting Ernie Ladd...(5 rambling minutes later), and I had to punch him right in the nose. Ric and Hulk's eyes stop rolling.

Hulk: The Cruiserweight title has worked out better than I could have imagined. Hopefully, the last 2 1st round matches work out as well as the 1st 2 have. Those little guys can go. Not sure if they can ever draw a lot of money, but it gives us something different from Vince.

Dusty: Thanks for putting the TV title on Page. That couple could be huge now that he's not wasted as the manager of wasted wrestlers.

Hulk: Anyone is better than that Warrior reject, but yeah, I see something in that guy.

Loving this diary!

Interesting to see Issac pull up a great match with Hart.

Sting vs. Flair. O'Man. Love those narratives too.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/WWF/People/Vince%20McMahon%202.jpg

On the McMahon private jet somewhere over the Mid-South, Vince McMahon is on his way to the west coast for next week's Monday Night Raw with a select few. He's casually reading over a paper handed to him, then throws it on the ground signifying it's garbage...

McMahon: Lex Luger main eventing Nitro? Eric Bischoff fired? Hulk Hogan running the show?

http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/WWF/People/Pat%20Patterson%203.jpg

Patterson: Well, Terry has always ran the show.

McMahon: Not while he was here!

http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/WWF/People/The%20Undertaker%2011.jpg

From a seat a couple rows in front of McMahon, The Undertaker turns his head back and looks at McMahon with a look that says "Yeah, right".

McMahon: Alright, alright! Listen, I may have overreacted. If they have Lex Luger main eventing against Jim Duggan, I think we're in good shape.

McMahon laughs nervously as he takes a sip of his drink.

McMahon: And who is this Alex Wright?

http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/WWF/People/Gerald%20Brisco.jpg

Brisco: He's part of their cruiserweight division.

McMahon: Cruiserweights? Isn't that something they do in Japan?

Patterson: Yeah, it will never catch on long-term here in the US, I wouldn't worry about that.

McMahon: Maybe not, but they have a colorful talent in Disco Inferno.

Patterson: He looks ridiculous!

McMahon: I know, and we need something even more ridicilous...

Vince gets up and is now methodically walking back and forth with a drink in his hand

McMahon: What if we pushed Duke?

Brisco: Who?

McMahon: The garbage man! Duke Droese!

Patterson: Yeah, that'll put butts in seats...

McMahon: Dammit Pat! This is why I normally have my creative discussions with Bruce, and sometimes Cornette. We can't let WCW gain momentum. I mean, if they think adding small people who are no size to be professional wrestlers is the way to start this war, we've already won.

Everyone gets quiet, when suddenly you hear the toilet flush and Vince Russo walks out.

http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/WWF/People/Vince%20Russo.jpg

Russo: Have you considered my idea? It's more than an idea if we go all in. It will be an entire product, and it can all surround him.

McMahon: I have considered it, but nothing further. I like your ideas, but let's know your place in the team, and wait until I ask for more ideas.

Vince walks towards the front, looks to his left and grins at the person sitting there.

McMahon: As for you...let's talk about the World title!</div>
