angeldelayette Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 WCW: The Goodbye Resolution Goodbye On July 28, 2023, I posted goodbye on my latest diary. That was named: WCW [1995] Heading To The Top, Not Quite As Great As Henderson. The self-deprecating title started to bother me during the run simply because it seemed like I could never live up to someone else. Our diaries are definitely different. We went in separate directions. So, at that point, I made the decision to leave the GDS boards for a while. There was always a part of me that understood that I would be back. The New Diary So, I made the decision now to start a brand-new diary based in WCW 1995. No self-deprecation. Just something that I will enjoy writing for as the weeks and months go on. I made it to 141 replies on my last diary. I am looking to beat that as we move forward. Whenever I create a new diary, I always try to make some changes so that each diary is unique. Listed below are some of the changes that I made prior to starting the game that this diary will be based on. You can read them or not, that's up to you. Not all changes will be listed as I would like to save some surprises for the diary itself. Thank You I would like to say thank you to everyone who both reads this diary and responds. It's the responds that make a diary move forward. People say to do this for yourself and, to an extent, that's true. However, we post so that people will make comments. Otherwise, we may as well simply play the game without posting. So, thank you in advance to anyone who posts, whether that's predictions or simply their thoughts on the diary in general (the best posts, IMO). I may use some of the thoughts and I may not. Who knows as we move ahead? Changes, Ch Ch Ch Changes!

sonny912 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Sorry your first diary didn't work out dude, hopefully this one will be better. If inmaybtake some guesses, Sting goes over flair with Luger's debut happening either during this match or Hogan's with a promo from arn Anderson to hyper their match at fall brawl, Brian pins liger as in real life, stud stables mystery opponents are the steiner's and it gets thrown out by Harlem Heat interference, setting up a feud with heat and the steiner's or even a 3 way between these teams later on, and Hogan obviously beats orndorff and the dungeon of Doom run interference with Luger coming in for the save like in real life. Kinda sucks Benoit and sabu aren't on the roster, controversy for the formers actions aside these are some of my favorite wrestlers. Hopefully you can come to a deal njpw to trade talent sometime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Sting Brian Pillman ??? Hull Kogan Welcome back, dudester! Hoping this is the one. I've always enjoyed your style of writing and can definitely relate to stop-start projects in these boards (though my latest one that I stopped in here is still ongoing in the discord and I might bring that thread back at any moment) so I'll always be supportive. We all have our personal struggles and all it takes is that one project to get us some momentum as writers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey sonny912, Thanks for the guesses and the comments. I can understand the Benoit and Sabu thing. I won't be bringing Benoit in at any point. He was a great wrestler but his real life murder makes me not wish to keep him on the roster. I hope that you can understand that. On 11/24/2023 at 3:08 AM, Dawn said: Sting Brian Pillman ???

I am still learning as it comes to this board and how to do things. But I am thankful for the predictions and comments. I am glad you liked the Paul Orndorff switch for Big Bubba Rogers. I felt like that would be the better match for the opening of Nitro. As you'll all see in the next post, there will definitely be some interesting things happening as we move forward.

ColdBloodedSausageMaker Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Bossman isn't bad in the ring, but that gimmick in '95 was pretty bad. Orndorff was one of Hogan's first major WWF Feuds. He actually permanently injured his arm to put Hogan over -- Orndoff didn't get treatment that's part of the reason Orndoff's arm is the way it is. There's a great worked shoot promo there if you want go that route. Roma's good enough in the ring and still pretty over. He starts in a tag team with Orndorff. Him and Orndorff could probably have some great matches with The Mega Powers and others. Speaking of tag teams, was watching some early JCP Stuff and would love to see you bring in The New Breed (WCW Version). They would be fun to watch in that Nitro product. Not sure how good the match ratings would be, but Royal and Champion could go in real life. (I've recently become a pretty big New Breed mark and have been telling everyone with a 90s diary to bring them in. They were ahead of their time and wouldn't be out of place today) Edited November 25, 2023 by ColdBloodedSausageMaker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's rule one of booking mid-90's wcw is that if the competition releases a top talent you gotta sign them with a multi-million dollar contract with creative control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angeldelayette Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 Monday Week 1 September 1995 WCW Monday Nitro Match #1: WCW United States Title Match Sting defends vs. Ric Flair WCW Monday Nitro begins in the Duluth Entertainment Center in Duluth, Minnesota. The crowd cheers the arrival of two fan favorites in the WCW United States Champion Sting and the Nature Boy Ric Flair. The match itself is a solid back and forth contest with both men showing off their abilities in the ring. At around the five minute mark, Sting goes for a knee in the corner but Flair moves and Sting strikes the corner with his knee. Flair goes right after the knee of Sting, using a kneebreaker before placing Sting's knee over the bottom rope. He leaps up and comes seated down on Sting's knee. Flair goes for the Figure Four but Sting rolls it into a small package for a two count. The crowd gets behind Sting as the two men get to their feet. Sting manages to reverse an Irish whip, sending Flair up and over the corner and onto the apron. Flair rushes down the apron and climbs to the top where he's met by Sting. Sting takes him down with a body slam but then grabs his knee, grimacing in pain. Moments later, Sting Irish whips Flair into a corner and then hits him with the Stinger Splash. Sting grabs the legs of the fallen Flair and twists him into the Scorpion Deathlock. Flair shakes his head, trying to reach for the ropes. Sting moves them into the center of the ring and Flair has no choice but to submit. Sting d. Ric Flair =76 What Does Sting Do? Sting releases the hold and stands up, accepting the WCW United States title belt. He raises it up before exiting the ring and walking toward the back. He gets halfway there when he is passed by Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman, who both rush to the ring. Anderson and Pillman immediately set upon Ric Flair. Anderson drops Flair with a spinebuster and then pulls him up as Pillman goes to the apron. Pillman leaps and catches Flair with Air Pillman while Sting watches. Finally, Sting rushes down to ringside and grabs Flair, pulling him out of the ring. Sting helps Flair to the back, while Anderson and Pillman remain in the ring. The announcers let us know that Brian Pillman is in action next. Match #2 Brian Pillman (w/Arn Anderson) vs. Jushin Thunder Liger Our second bout here on Nitro is a high flying encounter between Brian Pillman and Jushin Thunder Liger. This was definitely a fast-paced match with multiple near-falls in the first minute of the contest. Both men get in some good moves, including a hangman style neckbreaker from Pillman and a fisherman's buster from Liger. The match itself comes to an abrupt ending. Liger gets the advantage and heads to the top turnbuckle. Arn Anderson climbs on the apron, distracting the Japanese wrestler. Liger manages to kick Anderson off the apron and then goes for the shooting star press. Pillman moves and Liger lands hard and stops moving. Pillman rolls Liger into a cradle, scoring the three count but the referees are already calling for the EMTs and a stretcher for Liger. Brian Pillman p. Jushin Thunder Liger =64 Mr. Wonderful As the EMTs work on Jushin Thunder Liger in the ring, the focus turns to the top of the ramp where Gene Okerlund welcomes everyone to the first ever WCW Monday Nitro. Okerlund reminds everyone to call the WCW hotline and he says he'll try to get an update on the condition of Jushin Thunder Liger. But right now he brings out the number one contender to the WCW World Heavyweight title, the man who will face Hulk Hogan tonight on the very first Monday Nitro Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff. Orndorff comes out and flexes to boos from the crowd. Okerlund welcomes Orndorff and asks him about his match tonight against Hulk Hogan. Orndorff replies that he has a storied history with Hulk Hogan, both good and bad. But this chapter will prove why they call him Mr. Wonderful. Orndorff promises to snap Hogan's neck with a picture perfect piledriver and then score the three count before walking away as the new WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Orndorff reminds the crowd that he is Mr. Wonderful and he has the best body in the business. Orndorff flexes as the stretcher goes by with Jushin Thunder Liger. A Tag Team Return Back to the ring and here come the WCW World Tag Team Champions Dick Slater and Bunkhouse Buck along with their manager Col. Robert Parker. They enter the ring and Parker gets on the microphone, asking how you can have the very first edition of WCW Monday Nitro without the WCW World Tag Team Champions. The truth is that you can't. Parker says that since the championship committee can't find a tag team worthy enough to face them, he'll open it up to any two men in the back right now. He says that his Stud Stable will take on any two men in this ring right now. There is a pause and then some older, familiar music begins to play. The announcers are shocked when out walk Lex Luger and Barry Windham! Eric Bischoff reminds the fans that these two men are former NWA World Tag Team Champions. Luger flexes on his way to the ring and then enters beside Windham. Parker looks surprised but Slater and Buck are prepared and ready to fight this match. Mickey Jay comes out and we have an impromptu match for the WCW World Tag Team titles. Match #3: WCW World Tag Team Titles Match The Stud Stable (w/Col. Robert Parker) defend vs. Luger & Windham Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night so far as Lex Luger and Barry Windham make their return to WCW and take on the Stud Stable for the WCW World Tag Team titles. This was a back and forth match with Luger and Windham starting hot until Windham gets caught in no-man's land. Dick Slater and Bunkhouse Buck drive him back into their corner and use quick tags in and out to keep a fresh man in the ring. Slater scores a near fall on Windham as the crowd gets behind him. Slater brings Windham back into the corner and Windham starts firing back on both Slater and Buck. Windham hits Slater with a clothesline and both men have to make it to their respective corners. Both men make tags and in comes the Total Package. He's fresh and takes down Buck and Slater with clotheslines. He takes down Buck with a powerslam and then stands up, making the signal for the Human Torture Rack. Slater comes in but he gets taken down with a lariat by Windham! Luger picks up Buck and lifts him on his shoulders -- Human Torture Rack! Buck struggles as Col. Robert Parker climbs up on the apron. The referee doesn't get distracted soon enough, though, and Buck submits! We have new WCW World Tag Team Champions! Congratulations to Luger & Windham! Luger & Windham d. The Stud Stable =71 WCW Saturday Night A promo video plays hyping this week's edition of WCW Saturday Night. In the main event, we will see The Renegade defend the WCW World Television title in a fifteen minute time limit match against Diamond Dallas Page. Also in action will be Johnny B. Badd and Alex Wright! Make sure you tune in Saturday night on 6:05 on the Superstation! Who Is This? Back to the ring area, we have a disturbance going on in the crowd. The cameras pan in and we see a man who was with another company just last night. The crowd is shocked to see the man known as Shawn Michaels to WWF fans walking through the crowd and then leap over the guardrail. He asks for a microphone and then slides in the ring. This outsider tells the people that they know who he is but they don't know why he's here. He reminds people that he is the Showstopper and he is the Headliner. He says that if WCW wants a war, then they are going to get a war and he is here to fire the first strike. He says he's here to take on guys like Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Sting. His microphone gets turned off and security enter the ring. He raises his arms and he is taken from the ring and taken to the back by security. The announce team do not acknowledge his words and apologize for this interruption. Match #4: WCW World Heavyweight Title Match Hulk Hogan defends vs. Paul Orndorff It's time for the main event and what a mian event we have lined up as we see the WCW World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan take on a long-time rival in Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff. Unlike many of their battles, Hogan is the one with a manager at ringside in Jimmy Hart. The two men meet in the center of the ring with both men flexing. Orndorff slaps Hogan and Hogan fires back with a clothesline. He Irish whips Orndorff into a corner and follows in with a corner clothesline. Orndorff staggers out and then exits the ring, taking a breather. Hogan chases him outside the ring and Orndorff slides in first. Hogan follows and Orndorff strikes him in the ribs with a knee and a few stomps to follow that up. Mr. Wonderful plays to the crowd, drawing in boos from this audience. Orndorff picks up Hogan and brings him over in a German suplex, scoring a two count on a bridge. Orndorff stands up and spends the next few minutes focused on the ribs of Hogan. He drives the point of his elbow against the ribs again and again. Then he locks Hogan in a bear hug. Jimmy Hart tries to get the fans involved as senior referee Nick Patrick checks on Hogan. His hand slides up and falls once, twice but it stays up the third time. The crowd chants 'Hogan' as Hogan begins firing punches on Orndorff. He fires three and that breaks the hold. He bounces off the ropes and both men hit clotheslines, knocking both men down. Referee Nick Patrick begins a ten count on both men. He gets up to seven before both men manage to make it to their feet. Orndorff staggers in, blocking a punch and kicking Hogan in the gut. He pulls Hogan in and lifts him up -- Piledriver! Orndorff hits the Piledriver! We could have a new WCW World Heavyweight Champion! Bobby Heenan celebrates on commentary as Orndorff makes the cover: One...Two...Big Kickout! Hulk Hogan lifts to his knees and shakes his head, looking at Paul Orndorff as the crowd cheers Hogan on. Orndorff looks shocked that Hogan kicked out of the Piledriver! Orndorff moves back in and throws a punch, a second one, a third one. Hogan gets up to his feet, shaking his fists and then he points to Orndorff! Orndorff looks surprised as Hogan wags his finger. Orndorff moves back in and throws a punch -- blocked! Hogan throws three straight punches before sending Orndorff to the ropes -- Big Boot! Orndorff falls to the center of the ring and Hogan cups his ear before bouncing off the ropes -- Leg Drop! Hogan makes the cover, hooking the leg: One...Two...Three! Hulk Hogan p. Paul Orndorff =81 Dungeon Of Doom Hulk Hogan successfully defends the WCW World Heavyweight title! Jimmy Hart brings the belt into the ring and hands it off to Hogan. Hogan raises it up to cheers from the crowd. As Hogan celebrates, The Taskmaster leads Kamala, Meng, The Shark and Zodiac down to the ring. On commentary, Eric Bischoff mentions that these are the four men who will be fighting in War Games against Hulk Hogan, Sting, Randy Savage and a man to be named. The four men surround the ring and then climb up on the apron. As they do, Randy Savage, Sting and Jim Duggan come running down to the ring. Savage and Sting have chairs, while Duggan has his trusty 2X4! Those three men join Hogan in the ring and the numbers game has evened up. The Dungeon Of Doom members look to The Taskmaster, who calls them off. They each drop off the apron and begin walking toward the back. War Games In the ring stand Hulk Hogan, Jimmy Hart, Randy Savage, Sting and Jim Duggan. Jim Duggan asks for a microphone and receives one, looking across at the four men in the ring. Duggan tells Hogan that he has always had Hogan's back and he always will whether that's in the ring or out of the ring. Hogan thanks him for that. Duggan says that's the American way. You always look out for your brothers. However, he says that Hogan has something that he has wanted since he stepped foot in WCW and that's the World Heavyweight title. Duggan says that he is coming to Hulk Hogan man to man and asking for a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight title next week on Monday Nitro. Hogan looks surprised at this and then huddles up with Sting and Randy Savage. They talk in the huddle off-microphone for about a minute before Hogan breaks the huddle. Hogan takes the microphone and tells Duggan that he deserves a shot at the title and he will give him one on one condition. He says that the condition is that win or lose Jim Duggan becomes their fourth for War Games. Duggan says that he thought that Hogan would never ask. He accepts and the two friends shake hands before going face to face. Duggan looks down at the title belt for a moment and the show ends with the announcement of a World title match next week. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badd and Alex Wright! Make sure you tune in Saturday night on 6:05 on the Superstation! Who Is This? Back to the ring area, we have a disturbance going on in the crowd. The cameras pan in and we see a man who was with another company just last night. The crowd is shocked to see the man known as Shawn Michaels to WWF fans walking through the crowd and then leap over the guardrail. He asks for a microphone and then slides in the ring. This outsider tells the people that they know who he is but they don't know why he's here. He reminds people that he is the Showstopper and he is the Headliner. He says that if WCW wants a war, then they are going to get a war and he is here to fire the first strike. He says he's here to take on guys like Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Sting. His microphone gets turned off and security enter the ring. He raises his arms and he is taken from the ring and taken to the back by security. The announce team do not acknowledge his words and apologize for this interruption. Match #4: WCW World Heavyweight Title Match Hulk Hogan defends vs. Paul Orndorff It's time for the main event and what a mian event we have lined up as we see the WCW World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan take on a long-time rival in Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff. Unlike many of their battles, Hogan is the one with a manager at ringside in Jimmy Hart. The two men meet in the center of the ring with both men flexing. Orndorff slaps Hogan and Hogan fires back with a clothesline. He Irish whips Orndorff into a corner and follows in with a corner clothesline. Orndorff staggers out and then exits the ring, taking a breather. Hogan chases him outside the ring and Orndorff slides in first. Hogan follows and Orndorff strikes him in the ribs with a knee and a few stomps to follow that up. Mr. Wonderful plays to the crowd, drawing in boos from this audience. Orndorff picks up Hogan and brings him over in a German suplex, scoring a two count on a bridge. Orndorff stands up and spends the next few minutes focused on the ribs of Hogan. He drives the point of his elbow against the ribs again and again. Then he locks Hogan in a bear hug. Jimmy Hart tries to get the fans involved as senior referee Nick Patrick checks on Hogan. His hand slides up and falls once, twice but it stays up the third time. The crowd chants 'Hogan' as Hogan begins firing punches on Orndorff. He fires three and that breaks the hold. He bounces off the ropes and both men hit clotheslines, knocking both men down. Referee Nick Patrick begins a ten count on both men. He gets up to seven before both men manage to make it to their feet. Orndorff staggers in, blocking a punch and kicking Hogan in the gut. He pulls Hogan in and lifts him up -- Piledriver! Orndorff hits the Piledriver! We could have a new WCW World Heavyweight Champion! Bobby Heenan celebrates on commentary as Orndorff makes the cover: One...Two...Big Kickout! Hulk Hogan lifts to his knees and shakes his head, looking at Paul Orndorff as the crowd cheers Hogan on. Orndorff looks shocked that Hogan kicked out of the Piledriver! Orndorff moves back in and throws a punch, a second one, a third one. Hogan gets up to his feet, shaking his fists and then he points to Orndorff! Orndorff looks surprised as Hogan wags his finger. Orndorff moves back in and throws a punch -- blocked! Hogan throws three straight punches before sending Orndorff to the ropes -- Big Boot! Orndorff falls to the center of the ring and Hogan cups his ear before bouncing off the ropes -- Leg Drop! Hogan makes the cover, hooking the leg: One...Two...Three! Hulk Hogan p. Paul Orndorff =81 Dungeon Of Doom Hulk Hogan successfully defends the WCW World Heavyweight title! Jimmy Hart brings the belt into the ring and hands it off to Hogan. Hogan raises it up to cheers from the crowd. As Hogan celebrates, The Taskmaster leads Kamala, Meng, The Shark and Zodiac down to the ring. On commentary, Eric Bischoff mentions that these are the four men who will be fighting in War Games against Hulk Hogan, Sting, Randy Savage and a man to be named. The four men surround the ring and then climb up on the apron. As they do, Randy Savage, Sting and Jim Duggan come running down to the ring. Savage and Sting have chairs, while Duggan has his trusty 2X4! Those three men join Hogan in the ring and the numbers game has evened up. The Dungeon Of Doom members look to The Taskmaster, who calls them off. They each drop off the apron and begin walking toward the back. War Games In the ring stand Hulk Hogan, Jimmy Hart, Randy Savage, Sting and Jim Duggan. Jim Duggan asks for a microphone and receives one, looking across at the four men in the ring. Duggan tells Hogan that he has always had Hogan's back and he always will whether that's in the ring or out of the ring. Hogan thanks him for that. Duggan says that's the American way. You always look out for your brothers. However, he says that Hogan has something that he has wanted since he stepped foot in WCW and that's the World Heavyweight title. Duggan says that he is coming to Hulk Hogan man to man and asking for a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight title next week on Monday Nitro. Hogan looks surprised at this and then huddles up with Sting and Randy Savage. They talk in the huddle off-microphone for about a minute before Hogan breaks the huddle. Hogan takes the microphone and tells Duggan that he deserves a shot at the title and he will give him one on one condition. He says that the condition is that win or lose Jim Duggan becomes their fourth for War Games. Duggan says that he thought that Hogan would never ask. He accepts and the two friends shake hands before going face to face. Duggan looks down at the title belt for a moment and the show ends with the announcement of a World title match next week. Awesome! First show posted and I got 3 matches(Sting, pillman and hogan.) Right. Kinda surprised you signed Shawn up so quickly, or that you took my post about him seriously. Don't get me wrong, Shawn's a great talent no matter what era your playing in but he was sort of a headache backstage for alot of people around this time. I'm honestly worried meng will kill his ass. I'm guessing from the promo your having Shawn lead the nwo or dx or kilq or whatever this time but how will you really get Nash, hall, waltman and hunter? Also if your gonna book nwo make sure it doesn't bloat up to 30+ members, keep it to 10-15 minimum. Another surprise was seeing luger paired with Windham right off the bat instead of a solo debut(I'm guessing some Shawn Michaels politicking had a hand in it so luger wouldn't over shadow him) but it was nice that they got the tag gold. It also gives me an idea for the flair/Sting vs Anderson/pillman feud. can you say, FOUR HORSEMEN VS DANGEROUS ALLIANCE!? Luger and Windham ally with Sting and Flair to form a face horsemen Stable while Anderson reforms the dangerous alliance with Pillman, Mongo McMichael and Dean malenko. It would be awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey sonny912, I'm glad you enjoyed this first show. Great selections for the winners. Honestly, I signed Shawn in the editor before I started the game. The firing is my reason for him being able to be in WCW at the beginning. It will definitely be interesting to see how he goes backstage here in WCW. He does have guys like Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Meng, etc. to keep him honest. The Luger/Windham pairing was one I came up with, again, before I started the game. I knew I wanted something different for Luger's debut than what he had. I wanted to do enough changes that this would feel different enough from the real Nitro. My only real problem is that Jushin Thunder Liger suffered a spinal injury in the match against Brian Pillman. He'll be out for over a year. Your Horsemen/Dangerous Alliance thing is, honestly, something I wish I had thought of before moving forward with my own plans. I feel like Stephen King watching Frank Darabount's The Mist.

Hey Theheel, Glad you enjoyed the opening. As I said above, I wanted to make it close enough to the original show to feel the nostalgia but also have my own take on things. Glad to see you will continue following along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonny912 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Yeesh, sucks about what happend to liger. And sorry I Don't get your stephan king king analogy. I assume the mist is a horror movie sense you compared it to the guy who made pennywise. You can still have a horsemen/alliance feud it you want. As for the next Nitro, machoman beats Zodiac, malenko makes Mr. JL(who really should unmask and become jerry lynn already) submit to the cloverleaf, Anderson and Pillman beat the armstrongs(who i assume are brad and Brian the road Dogg who you got the same way as Shawn with the editor cause the only armstrong I know is referee Scott), luger gets dirty dick (lol) in the torture rack and the hogan/Duggan match is thrown out by dod interference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
