WWE & WCW The Same Company?


Recommended Posts

[B]About Me[/B] I will be doing my diary with the invasion mod. The starting date will be July 2001 though. This was the era when I started watching wrestling again after 5 years of not watching. I missed so much in that time and the only reason I did stop watching was because wrestling at the age of 16 was not seen as a cool thing to watch. So when I hit 21 I started watching again and got back into it. I hope my first diary attempt gets you all reading and any advice you have got for me I will take it on. History will change. [B]Back story[/B] After the purchase of WCW in May 2001, the McMahon family did not know what to do with it. Then one day Shane McMahon was on the net and came across a blue print of what Jonfun (thats me by the way) would do and he liked it. So its now June 2001 and Jonfun is now on the WWE booking team and the plans he as laid out are starting to come in to effect. King of The Ring gets axed for one year, no reason was given. The Last Smackdown of June 2001 brings a big shock at the end of the program. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Shane McMahon's music starts to play and out he comes with a big smile and a envelope in his hand. The crowd are cheering for him "Shane O'Mac, Shane O'Mac" Shane takes the microphone and shouts shut up and tells Jim Ross and Michael Hayes to leave thier commentry postions now. This envelope tells me I own WCW and as you already know I am GM of Smackdown. That was until tonight (the crowd are quite they don't know whats going on.) Smackdown is dead. With that there is a big bang Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting and that appears on the Titan screen. Yes Nitro is back and WCW is back. So let me explain WCW Nitro is now on TV instead of Smackdown. There will be a roster split. The new roster for Raw and Nitro will be posted tomorrow on [url]www.wwe.com[/url] Music starts to play, Shane looks suprised, oh no its Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Vince and he looks angry. Vince gets into the ring and looks straight at Shane. Shane - You are not supposed to be here tonight! Vince - I was just passing through and came to say Hi and I walk into this, what the hell do you think you are playing at. I bought WCW to make it go away. You can't do this I own WWE and you can't just take over one of my TV slots and split up my roster. Shane - Dad I can, its not just you that own's WWE its Mum to. She as signed this letter, thats all I needed to get this to go through. Now if you don't mind can you get out of my ring and stay away from my Nitro shows. A person is seen running through the crowd by the fans. Vince - I am not going anywhere I am going to rip you apart. Shane - Dad look behind you. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting DDP hits the Diamond Cutter on Vince. DDP music starts to play and Shane throws the letter onto Vince and leaves the ring with DDP, Smackdown ends forever. (Keep reading to find out how I would have made the whole invasion angle a lot better than the McMahon family did.)

Yeah this is what I always thought should have been done with WCW. Use them as a brand, like Smackdown is. By transferring a few guys over and maybe a couple of new signings they could have had a strong brand. If WCW ever goes out of business on any of my games I'll be sure to buy it and start it up as a seperate brand.

My first offical Raw booking July 2001 Week 1. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Live @ Air Canada Centre - Great Lakes 15,000 Sold out Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Raw begins with the music of Vince McMahon playing and he starts to come down to the ring. Vince - So I have read over all the fine print in the contract and there is nothing I can do about WCW. But in the long run I will kick Shane's ass, just like I did with Eric Bishoff. I still own WWE and WCW so I can still arrange certain things. Thats why at the end of the month we will have a payperview called INVASION. At this payperview it will be the first time WCW & WWE have had a joint payperview. The main event will be 5 on 5 elimination main event. The losing brand will have to put up thier championship belt up for grabs at Summerslam the next payperview against someone from hopefully my RAW brand. My ultimate plans will be to take all of the WCW belts and leave Nitro with nothing but rubbish wrestlers like DDP. Vince - Now before I leave all of you to watch the best brand in sports entertainment RAW, let me introduce the first 2 members of the RAW team for Invasion. The broken class smash means one thing. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Out walks Stone Cold and just behind him HHH. Stone Cold - Invasion, elimination match, WCW. I can't wait everyone knows about my time in WCW and Hunter's time there. I can't wait to destroy WCW again. I will then go onto Summerslam and take thier championship belt. HHH - Hold on there one minute Steve. Who says it will be you that goes onto take thier belt. You are already the WWE champion. I think I deserve the chance. Vince - You both deserve a shot at it, I tell you what who ever stays the longest in the elimination match will get the shot. All three of them shake hands and leave the ring. A* Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Jim Ross - Wow that is big news can't wait till Invasion, so lets get on with RAW now.
