bababooey76 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) As we enter 1992, it is a turning point for WCW. Ric Flair has departed to the WWF the previous summer. Now, current WCW Champion, Lex Luger, unhappy with some bookings for him in 1991 is apparently ready to exit the company. If Luger departs, this would leave Sting as the face of the company, but someone that the Ted Turner owned organization could definitely build around. Turner has tabbed current WCW announcer and former AWA announce, Eric Bischoff, to take charge as far as the direction of World Championship Wrestling going into 1992. Turner will give Bischoff a lot of flexibility financially to sign new talent and improve the company in many other facets. Turner would like to be in a position in the next 12 months to legitimately compete with the WWF and Vince McMahon. Bischoff has his eye on some big talent that could come available that currently is signed with the WWF. Bischoff will also look to add new PPV events and would also like to focus the promotion around an annual Spring PPV as opposed to Starrcade, which has been the companies signature event each December. Along with Sting, the WCW roster has some other established names like Rick Rude, Vader, Ricky Steamboat, Barry Windham to go with younger talent led by Steve Austin, Cactus Jack and Dustin Rhodes. Bischoff will look to add to that in the coming weeks and months. Bischoff will stay in his role as interviewer/announcer but will be a part of a booking committee he has put together to book WCW tv and PPV and Dusty Rhodes will serve as the on air commissioner for WCW.

bababooey76 Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 (Ted Turner steps up the microphone at the Press Conference to Announce new WCW Booker) Ted: Thank you all for being here. Today is the start of a new beginning for World Championship Wrestling. I have promoted Eric Bischoff to lead our wrestling organization. Eric and I have had several lengthy discussions on what he believes WCW needs to do to elevate our product for our wrestling fans and to bring new fans on board here at WCW. Eric is a very intelligent man, I think he has represented to me a very keen eye and innovative approach to what a wrestling organization in the 90's should be. I have told Eric that he has carte blanche as far as contracts of current talent and an open check book to acquire new talent for World Championship Wrestling. We will take a couple of questions here Reporter: Eric, it has been reported that Lex Luger is nearing his release from the company. Have you made any effort to contact Lex and what does this mean for the WCW World Championship if Lex Luger leaves WCW? Eric: I have spoken to Lex Luger. Lex is under contract with World Championship Wrestling. He is our champion. But I am looking for talent that wants to be here. We will address the situation in the near future. Reporter: What is your biggest challenge as you see it going into the new year as the head of WCW now? Eric: Number one, we have to have people here that the fans know, want to tune in to watch, want to go to the arena to see LIVE. I am already in negotiations with several well known talents about coming to work here. I will leave it at that for now but more to come very soon as any negotiations are agreed on. Reporter: The Ultimate Warrior has been in an ongoing legal battle with the WWF, asking for his release and being denied that release. Would the Warrior be a talent of interest that we could see on WCW television? Eric: I am not going to comment on workers who are currently under contract with other organizations. Ted: And with that, we are gonna wrap this up. Thank you all for being here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababooey76 Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 Monday Week 1 January 1992 (Eric Bischoff holds a meeting. Present are Dusty Rhodes, Ole Anderson, Paul Heyman and Jim Ross) Bischoff: Gentlemen, thank you for coming in so early in the morning. As you know, Lex Luger has given notice to WCW that he intends to leave the company. Ole: That son of a bitch. No talent. Just a physique. Bischoff: He's our World Champion. You all will be a part of our booking committee where we will work together to come up with stories and to also handle how we deal with issues like this for television purposes. How do you propose we handle this? Who are we going to put the belt on? Ross: Eric, I think you can only put the belt on Rude, Steamboat or Stinger right now. I think those are our 3 guys. I think Austin gonna be something but it ain't time yet for that. I'd say Stinger. Dusty: Thtinger, Barry Windham, Rude, Thteamboat. What about big Vader, Baby? Eric: I can't say anything yet, BUT, I am in negotiations with a top name in the business to join the roster as a wrestler. But I don't think we will get a deal done in time to make it work to get him in the World Championship picture before the Super Brawl PPV. Also, we are close to landing a couple of very experienced guys as far as behind the scenes to help us with booking. Big names, a lot of experience and I am very close to landing a huge name to join us to do color on our broadcasts. A-Lister in the wrestling business. Ole: Just a regular wheeler and dealer, aren't you, Bischoff? (Ole gets up and walks out) Eric: That jack ass is not going to last long with me! Ross: What about giving the ole cowboy a call? Bill Watts. He's not working. He wants to get back in the saddle. He's got a lot of experience. I can give him a call. Eric: Call him. Set us up a time where we can talk on the phone. Otherwise, we will talk at the TV tapings this week and decide how we will handle the Luger situation. A match, a tournament, so on and so forth. (Everyone gets up and leaves the room, Heyman stays behind) Paul E: Eric, I am willing to do WHATEVER you need done to help behind the scenes. You got a bunch of stubborn good ole boys that just left this room. They are going to be hard to deal with. Eric: Thanks Paul. That means a lot. Let's get to work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonny912 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Huh there sure are alot of new dynasties about 1992 wcw sprouting up. with bischoff coming to power early I wonder how long Austin, foley and Jim Ross will last. Maybe heyman can convince Eric to give some ecw guys a try. We do not need bill watts right now, he was terrible for WCW as head booker, His son Erik was shit, he killed the lightweight division banning top rope moves and was dead set on pushing wrestling back to the 70s. If Ole leaves maybe they can convince Jim cornette to comeback and take his place. Smoky Mountain Wrestling could be turned into wcw's developmental territory.

bababooey76 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Week 1 January 1992 Things are tight lipped coming out of the WCW camp under the new leadership of Eric Bischoff. However, PWI has learned that Bischoff wants to make WCW profitable, quick. He is expected to add more PPV events to the schedule and is also not happy with a talent roster near 60 in ring performers and wants to trim that number to closer to 50. The Lex Luger situation is also paramount to Bischoff to get resolved. There is concern that Luger could leave the promotion as the champion as Ric Flair did last summer and take the WCW Championship belt with him. Bischoff does not want that to happen and is trying to talk Luger into finishing out the final month of his contract. Luger is all but done in World Championship Wrestling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you're cutting talent let's take a look. Abdullah the butcher, monster heel made to fight Sting more of a special attraction and we have Vader and cactus jack now so send him back to Japan. Butch Reed, doom's done and Ron Simmons is gonna be WCW champ around this time so put them both in a short feud that ends in a loser leaves town match and send Reed packing. El Gigante, worst big man ever. Hiroshi hase, Don't know anything about him outside he's a politician. Gordon solie and Jim Barnett, Been in the nwa for a long time so their old. Junkyard Dog, only there cause he Turner's favorite wrestler apparently. Magnum t.a. was injured back in the 80's. Nikita koloff, was basically the Goldberg of the 80's but retires this year. Pedro morales, the first triple crown champion of wwf pre Vince McMahon Jr and was arguably the 2nd biggest face behind bruno sammartino, but never one and gold in wcw. Pez Whatley, never heard of him. Ricky Morton, already gone. Tex Slazenger, better known as mideon and one of the godwinns so off to wwf. The barbarian, there's no warlord or meng or Haku to make a tagbteam with so bye. Tony atlas, mr USA turned saba simba. Tony halme, becomes Ludvig borga. There you go, 15 future endeavors.

Eric is 2 beers in, sitting in a booth in the back corner of the bar. Luger enters the bar, Eric is annoyed as he sees that Luger is empty handed. Luger sits down) Bischoff: Where’s the belt ? Luger: I don’t want your belt Eric. I am hanging on to it for security. Once my contract is up next month, you’ll get the belt, without a shadow of a doubt Bischoff: Oh no, no, no. You’re not going to hold me up. I wired a $100,000 advance in good faith last week. You’re ending your hold out, you are coming to SuperBrawl and you are dropping the belt to Sting. Luger: I don’t think that is going to happen, Eric. Sorry Bischoff: I guarantee you it is going to happen or I am going to destroy you to the point that no one will hire you ever again. Luger: Excuse me? Bischoff: (Opens briefcase) Pulls out a folder and hands it to Luger (Luger Opens File) Lex Luger WCW Medical File Luger: Fine. You win. Bischoff: That’s right, I win. Fedex MY BELT to my office. If I don’t have that belt on my desk in 48 hours, I will make sure this report hits all of the dirt sheets and newsletters. (Eric stands up, lays a $20 on the table) Don’t ever fu*k with again. I’ll see you at Super Brawl. (Bischoff walks out.

I think you both being there convinced him that doing business was in his best interest. (Hands each man an envelope with $5,000 in them). Let’s keep our arrangement between us. There may be occasions when I need your presence again. We don’t need the boys in the back knowing about this. But, this is going to lead to more for you both. I am going to see to it that you both are pushed as a tag team and I want those tag team belts on you by the end of the year. And I see BIG singles pushes for you both down the road. Nash: Alright Mr Bischoff. Whatever you need. Hall: I’ll do whatever you need. I appreciate the opportunity Mr. Bischoff. Bischoff: Please, my friends call me Eric. I’ll see you both at TV this week.

bababooey76 Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 (edited) (Eric Bischoff meets with his newly formed booking team of Dusty Rhodes, Jim Ross, Paul E Dangerously and Ole Anderson) Bischoff: In front of you are a list of things we need to cover that I want us to make happen and that needs discussion Diamond Studd/Vinnie Vegas Push Finish for Sting/Luger at The Clash New Talent Big Signing Company/Talent Profile Bischoff: Looking to begin pushing Scott Hall and Kevin Nash as their current characters. I’d like to get the tag belts on the Steiners by the end of the summer. Let’s push Studd and Vegas as a team and work toward a championship match between the teams in the fall or maybe even Starrcade depending on what kind of heat we can get for this matchup in the build up. We need a name for Studd and Vegas as a team. Ideas? Dusty: Is Dally still going to manage them, Baby? Bischoff: That’s the plan. I want to get some heat on all 3 of them in the coming weeks. Dusty: Dally’s little group is the “The Diamond Mine” How bout “The Diamond Club” for Scott and Big Kev? Paul E: “The Sin City Studs?” or “The Diamond Connection”? Dusty: “Sin City Studs”, I like that, Baby. Paul E: "Diamond and Dice" Bischoff: THAT'S THE ONE! Now, Sting and Luger at SuperBrawl, Luger is done here. We are putting the belt on Sting and I want Sting to be the face of this company, I want to push him to the moon! Ross: Clean pinfall finish? Bischoff: NO…..I want Luger to tap to the Scorpion Death Lock. Dusty, you’re going to be the agent for that match. You can work out the details. Ole: Do you think Luger is going to need to be persuaded to do business this way? (Clenching his fists) Bischoff: Lex and I have an agreement. I don’t think he is going to give us a problem. (smiles) Bischoff: Now, I have signed some young talent. Chris Jericho, Jeff Jarrett are a couple of youngsters. We are going to send them to The Power Plant along with Marcus Bagwell. I have my eye on a lot young guys that Dusty, Ole and I have been looking at signing. I am looking at starting a smaller promotion, maybe only locally in Atlanta where these young guys get a lot of work and some tv exposure. “Power Plant Wrestling” PPW. I’d love to have some progress on this by the end of the year. Maybe I can even Ted to give us a late night slot on TBS Bischoff: I have signed a very big name in the business. He’s going to play a big role and may end up being able to fill the void left when Flair left last summer. No offense, but I am keeping his identity a secret for now. I don’t want any leaks getting out to the dirt sheets. But, this person will debut, unannounced, at The Clash. Bischoff: Finally, Dusty and I have broken down where exactly we stand as a company as far as top talents, and our strengths. Bischoff: I am a little concerned about the Main Event scene after Luger leaves. I want to add some depth as far as Main Event talent goes. As far as "Franchise Players" go, I think we'll be able to add Vader, Austin and definitely my "Mystery Signing" to this list.
