Comments: Another squash match, this time for Father Wyatt!

Kurasawa vs. Disco Inferno
Comments: For those who don’t know, Kurasawa is Manabu Nakanishi of NJPW fame. I’m tentatively pencilling this in for the weirdest match of all time. At the end of the day, I can’t justify picking Gifted Glenn Gilbertti (how is he gifted?) over Nakanishi.

WCW World Heavyweight Title Match

Comments: In the end, creative control always goes over, brother!

Comments On The Diary: Your first Nitro went well. Hopefully you can come up with some interesting non-Hogan angles soon.

Hey James The Animator,

Always good to see you predicting here and making the comments.  I think the Nitros are going well.  Hulk Hogan is definitely a big part of the company, especially with Nitro being 1 hour only at this moment.
