TITANS Need Not Apply: A 1991 WCW Diary

Extremely frustrated with the company's recent performance, and tired of playing second fiddle to Vince McMahon and the WWF, WCW Owner Ted Turner made two moves in the early morning hours of New Year's Day, 1991.

 

The first was to fire Jim Herd from his job as Executive Vice President of WCW and replace him with Jim Ross. It was no secret that practically no one involved with WCW cared much for Jim Herd, and when you pair that with the fact that business had been on a steady decline since the spring of 1990, replacing Herd with the well-liked and more than qualified Jim Ross was a no-brainer.

 

The second was to go back to the last thing that showed any semblance of actually working, and reinstall Ric Flair as head booker of WCW, a job he had just resigned from in February 1990. So why would Flair agree to go back to a job he had just quit less than a year earlier? Because the only reason he quit that job in the first place, despite business almost immediately trending up once he had it, was because he absolutely could not get along with then WCW Executive Vice President Jim Herd, who ultimately had final say on any decisions Flair made.

 

Convinced he'd made the two best decisions he possibly could've made for the future of the company, Turner wrapped up the first day of 1991 by giving Jim Ross and Ric Flair one "rule" they must follow as a condition of their new jobs:

 

N2TYfSa.jpgLGqiWsl.jpgCIBDAdH.jpg

 

Turner: Oh, I can't believe I almost forgot this. I don't want you to hire any Titans.

 

Ross: Titans, sir?

 

Turner: Yeah, you know Titans. As in Titan Sports. You know, McMahon's guys. I don't want any of 'em here. I'm sure some of 'em are great guys or gals, but I want to build our own thing here. And just so we're clear, I mean wrestlers, referees, announcers, managers, agents, interviewers, the lot of 'em. If they're McMahon guys, I don't want 'em.

 

Flair: Uh, that's not gonna be easy, Ted.

 

Turner: I'm confident you two can handle it! Don't let me down!

 

 

 

 

So first things first, I want to make it clear that I know this scenario is a bit ridiculous. It makes no sense from a business standpoint to refuse to employ people who can help your company improve and grow. Especially if those are your exact goals. But I was looking for a way to shake things up a bit and this is what I settled on.

 

So you're probably wondering what qualifies someone as a McMahon guy, or "Titan", for the purposes of this diary? Well that's actually really simple, if not a mouthful to explain. A worker will be considered a McMahon guy, or "Titan", if they meet one of the following three criteria:

 

1.) They're employed by the WWF when the save starts on January 1st, 1991. A few examples of workers who fit this criterion are Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker. Please click "spoiler" for a complete list of workers who meet this condition.

3.) This final criterion isn't realistic at all, since Ted Turner can't predict the future and therefore workers who meet the first two criteria would be the only workers in 1991 that would be "WWF" guys to him. However, this one was added purely for an additional challenge were I to make it far enough into the future for most of these guys to debut. Anyway, onto the third and final criterion:

 

- Male wrestlers, whether active at save start or yet to debut, who fit neither of the first two criteria, but who would go on to hold at least 2 WWF/E World, World Heavyweight(Big Gold Belt) or Universal Championships.

 

- Female wrestlers, whether active at save start or yet to debut, who fit neither of the first two criteria, but who would go on to hold at least 2 WWF/E Divas, Women's, Raw Women's or Smackdown Women's Championships.

 

*****Workers who worked for WCW before working for the WWF will be exempt from this criterion, e.g., Steve Austin and Triple H. Also, prior work as a jobber is not considered for this criterion, which allows for both Mick Foley's exclusion from the list, and Edge's inclusion on it, for a couple examples.*****

My goal with these restrictions is threefold:

 

1.) To make the game a bit more challenging.

 

2.) To force myself to use some different workers than I otherwise would, because without these restrictions there's little doubt that I would sign all the usual suspects away from the WWF at the first opportunity. And if I add Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Undertaker, Ted DiBiase, Jake Roberts, Mr. Perfect and Shawn Michaels to my WCW roster, then I might as well have just started a WWF save.

 

3.) To keep my roster size from getting out of control, which should directly increase the likelihood of this diary lasting longer than my 1991 WWF diary did on TEW 2016. Because what happened there was I burned myself out trying to manage a huge roster of all the great WWF guys I already had, and the absurd amount of WCW workers that I also signed. And that just led to a save that ended up being way more work than fun. And when a save is more work than fun I lose interest in a hurry, and that save and it's accompanying diary are out the window. I don't want that to happen here.

Diary Show Posting Schedule

 

Shows will only be posted on weekdays between 11 am and 6 pm EST. No shows will ever be posted outside those time frames, so if it's a potential posting day and it's past 6 pm EST with no new show posted, then you can be sure that nothing will be posted until at least the next weekday. This keeps me from having to give constant updates about potential posting times on the occasions where I've fallen behind, and prevents other diaries with actual show updates from being "bumped" down from the top of the board unnecessarily. I will sometimes post other stuff outside of these scheduled hours though, such as feedback requests and prediction contest related info.

I absolutely love booking this time. The idea of crowning the first WCW World Heavyweight champion is just too exciting to not pass up. Can't wait to see this evolve :)

 

Thanks, Munit! I just hope I can do it justice. I rarely missed WCW growing up, but generally preferred the WWF, so I'll have to do a bit more research than usual for this one to ring true.

 

What a unique ruleset/game world. Have fun.

 

Thanks, Texasrangers13! I really wanted to try something different to mix things up a bit and it's definitely gonna be a bit tricky. But there's still so many great workers I can sign that I should never be short on talent even without the WWF guys.

 

Loved your 91 WWF diary and can't wait to see what you do here!

 

Thanks, Element! Glad to have you back!

Thinking a DQ or something. Eaton seems like he’d be a great Tv champ right now, but you can’t take the belt off Z-Man right away. The man deserves a fair chance lol

Some thoughts:

 

I firmly believe that Big Boss Man, Road Warriors, Roddy Piper, Shane Douglas, Ted DiBiase and Texas Tornado would be fine to hire. They might be ‘Titans’ now, but they’re all have NWA history, Mid-Atlantic history or JCP history.

 

As for the free agents… Bad News Allen is Canada / Japan for me, Blackjack Mulligan is a southern name, Kamala is from Georgia, One Man Gang worked in the South and Wendi Richter is kind of useful if you’re going to do anything with women’s wrestling. None of those mean much to WCW though in the long term so, so its whatever.

 

The third section is mostly fine. Jacqueline did work for WCW, and Ivory was an indie girl for years on end so I’d relent on those if women’s wrestling matters to you at all.

Thanks, Trevor! I had a really good time writing a 1991 WWF dynasty for TEW 2016 and I expect you will too. With the right free agent signings you could easily assemble one of the best rosters in wrestling history. Thanks for your predictions and good luck with your diary!

I don't really disagree with anything you said in principle, and yes, I think you could easily justify taking quite a few workers off my exempt lists. However, I put a lot of thought into who should or shouldn't be "eligible" to be hired, and decided that if I wasn't going to be really strict, then there didn't seem to be much point in having any restrictions at all. Which I understand is an entirely different conversation in and of itself.

 

The third section is mostly fine. Jacqueline did work for WCW, and Ivory was an indie girl for years on end so I’d relent on those if women’s wrestling matters to you at all.

 

Well, the third section is really it's own thing that has nothing to do with who they did or didn't work for and when. Like I mentioned in the opening post, it was kinda just tacked on at the last second for a bit of an added challenge.

 

Anyway, I do appreciate the feedback and thanks for checking out my diary!

I mean, don't get me wrong: I'm even more interested now in seeing who you're going to try and pick up, push and make stars out of. I'm thinking there might be a few guys from Japan and Mexico who you'll be considering...

I do love this time of year in both WCW and WWF. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it, especially with the restrictions you put on yourself. It would be so difficult for me to live up to them.

 

WCW United States Heavyweight Championship

Lex Luger © vs. Barry Windham

The Total Package just beat Stan Hansen at Starrcade. His momentum continues

 

WCW World Tag Team Championship

Doom w/ Teddy Long © vs. Ricky Morton & A Mystery Partner

I assume that Morton's partner will be Wildfire Tommy Rich as he was in real life. Either way, I see Morton and Partner winning by disqualification.

 

WCW World Television Championship

Tom Zenk © vs. Bobby Eaton

I go back and forth on this one. So when that happens, why not pick a time limit draw? Of course, that's a staple ending for Television title matches. It might lead to a future rematch.

 

Dustin Rhodes vs. Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker

The Natural is just getting started here. He begins with a win against the State Patrol member.

 

Terry Funk vs. Dutch Mantel

Two veterans of the ring. Funk is way more valuable than Mantel at the moment.

For sure, but they may be a ways away. I'm certainly gonna sign some guys and use them right away, but I'm not gonna replace the entire roster in 3 or 4 months either. Although it is very tempting because that's a fairly top-heavy roster in that third post above.

While there's definitely no shortage of great workers available for me to sign, so many of them aren't really a "fit" for WCW and many others need a lot of work from where they are when the save starts, so it's gonna be tricky for sure.

Yeah, it's crazy how often they used that ending, but I thought it worked well for the more "sports-based" feel they were going for at the time.

 

Thanks for reading and predicting, angeldelayette! Hope you'll follow along!

Important Note:

Okay, so I intended to start posting shows in this diary this week, but in my haste to get started I overlooked a bit of an issue with the mod I'm using and fixing it has got me a few days behind. So the first show will now be posted Monday, assuming no more mod problems arise. I apologize for a delay right off the bat, but better I found the problem now than 2 or 3 months into the save.

This looks interesting I'm in, can't wait to see who you hire to push

But you've already broken your rules Moondog Rex is on your list for rule 2 :D

 

Also, I know you said you're going to be strict but I feel like it needs to be said Bam Bam Bigelow is WCW

He spent more time with WCW then WWF though its close

Won 3 titles in WCW 2 Tag Teams and 1 Hardcore the only thing he won in WWF was Slammy Award for Best Head :eek: and he drew with Gene Okerlund

Go Team WCW

Happy to have your readership! But actually, the mistake is Moondog Rex being on the exempt list in the first place, as he's already on my roster when the game starts. I didn't notice him when going through my roster because I sorted by the "wrestler" role and he's listed as an "occasional wrestler" so he didn't show up. I've now taken him off the exempt list due to this error. However, I appreciate you pointing it out to me because I probably wouldn't have caught it otherwise.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Satyr24" data-cite="Satyr24" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="51515" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Also, I know you said you're going to be strict but I feel like it needs to be said Bam Bam Bigelow is WCW<p> He spent more time with WCW then WWF though its close</p><p> Won 3 titles in WCW 2 Tag Teams and 1 Hardcore the only thing he won in WWF was Slammy Award for Best Head <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> and he drew with Gene Okerlund</p><p> Go Team WCW</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Remember though, Bigelow is on the second list, which is for being most known for his WWF career <em>prior</em> to the save start date of January 1st, 1991.
