Schiavone: Steve Austin, 2 straight matches vs Barry Windham and then vs Johnny B. Bad, you have been counted out, what some would say intentionally, when your back was against the wall, in order to retain your WCW Television Title. What do you have to say for yourself?

 

Paul E: OBJECTION “YOUR HONOR”!  Badgering the witness. My client does not need to take the easy way out Mr. Schiavone.  We do not appreciate your tone, SIR!

 

Austin: When you’re as good as Stunning Steve Austin, you don’t have to take the easy way out!  And I won’t have to take any shortcuts tonight against that pathetic excuse for an opponent in Ricky Steamboat.  Do you understand me?

Sting: Luger, you were a good friend.  But when you aligned with Harley Race, you turned your back on your friends and the fans. At Clash of the Champions, that World Title is going around my waist for all of my little Stingers.

Schiavone: What is this all about??  Is Vader being managed by Harley Race?

Ventura:  I would say that looks like the case Schiavone.  I love it!

(Eric Bischoff meets with his newly formed booking team of Dusty Rhodes, Jim Ross, Paul E Dangerously and Ole Anderson)

 

QHKaCGq6WM6wuZdEll71U5CX7SYpR-djiUeifCfI2uF8WsBzABR5GYKtvE7imgWiODv1vyq64Reozj2GozzGf7fBN8B2qR0tsCvHJM8-CROVc7Laap8_LodvkuqwJHsCnwRrLnI22KXs8Al35oLV7Lg

 

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.  

 

Bischoff:  Let’s do it.  Ok, as you know, I’ve put Luger vs Sting on the Clash card instead of the PPV as I have worked out an early release with Luger since he is so unhappy.  We don’t need his attitude poisoning the other guys.  So Sting is going over and is going to be the face of this promotion

 

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.

How did you get Jarrett? I thought his dad's company(the uswa) and the wwf had a working aggrement around this time?

If Jericho's on the roster then what about his partner at the time, lance storm? They should be working for Jim Cornette's smw around this time.

If Paul e is on the booking team then that means no ecw right? Are any of them gonna be apart of power plant wrestling?

Your gonna let go of el Gigante too right? Guy was the worst big man wrestler in history.

Signed Jarrett to a written deal so this must be before Jerry Jarrett's deal with Vince

Sending Jericho to the Power Plant, probably to improve.  Storm could fit in if I can get Developmental Fed started and stocked up with talent.

Going to see if I can find a way to get any kind of heat with el Gigante before I part with him.

Oh, well then why not make a deal with Jerry before Vince does?

Who else is going to the power plant?
