Welcome to
WCW 1998: War, Dissension, & The Future
!

 

Before I get into what the plans are for this diary i just wanted to say that I'm
really
hoping this diary does not go the way of my WLW Diary so I will be pushing myself to be active here with this diary. My apologies to anyone who was interested in that diary only for it to become inactive. I may one day bring it back but I'm not sure.

 

Now, for what i plan to do with this diary and save. Firstly we have the possible cliché of saving WCW, this time however it's before things get really bad. Another goal i have for this save and building up and pushing the future of WCW and Pro Wrestling. This will be partially achieved via the National Wrestling Federation (NWF) which will serve as a developmental company to WCW.

 

The Story behind the NWF is that Eric Bischoff was looking for a way to build up the future of WCW to make sure that WCW lasts but didn't really know how to do so. One day Dusty Rhodes came to him and suggested that they open a developmental company with Dusty Volunteering to be the Head Booker of said company. (OOC: Originally i gave the Head Booker role to Gary Hart but decided it'd make more sense with Dusty, Gary does still stay with the NWF however.) During one of their one on one meetings with each other about the proposed company Dusty told Eric that he may be able to pull some strings to bring one of his old bosses back into the wrestling world as the owner of the company. That boss was none other than former JCP/WCW Promoter Jim Crockett Jr. Jim, Eric, and Dusty Came up with the name as a little homage to WCW and JCP's past in the NWA. With Jim and Dusty at the reigns Eric Felt that the future of WCW was in Good hands.

 

I will be posting The NWF Roster and Titles alongside when the roster and other things are finalized. For now they will either not be in the posts or will be left blank until i finalize things.

OOC: Quick Note before i post the Card for the First Nitro of 98, i'll be finishing up the Championship histories and such as i can. I've been on and off busy and distracted with other things. When i get further into the save i will probably add previews below to explain the story thus far like mimimikuri did in their SFPW save.
