[B][U]FROM TNAWCW.COM Friday, Week 1 May 2007 NITRO RETURNS TO MONDAY NIGHTS! 2 HOURS @ 10PM on TNT![/U][/B] [B][I][COLOR="Red"]"WCW Monday Nitro was a weekly professional wrestling program produced by World Championship Wrestling. The show aired Monday nights on TNT, going head-to-head the World Wrestling Federation's Monday Night Raw from September 4, 1995 to March 26, 2001. Production ceased after WCW was purchased by the WWF. Nitro was created by Ted Turner and Eric Bischoff. Though ratings were poor early on, WCW Nitro improved in mid-1996 and went on to draw better ratings than the WWF for 84 continuous weeks. This lasted until April 13, 1998, when a heated confrontation between the villainous WWF Chairman Vince McMahon and fan favorite Stone Cold Steve Austin dominated WWF programming, as well as the company introducing a new incarnation of the popular faction D-Generation X shifted momentum in the WWF's favor. Besides broadcasting from various arenas and locations across the country (such as the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, from which the very first episode of Nitro was broadcast) Nitro also did special broadcasts from the Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando in 1996, and did annual Spring Break-Out episodes from Panama City Beach, Florida. On the very first edition of Nitro, Lex Luger (who was working for the WWF without a contract) made a surprise appearance during the Ric Flair vs. Sting match and the program's main event between Hulk Hogan and Big Bubba Rogers..... ....Now WCW Returns and is reborn on the home of WCW TV Action, The Turner Network, TNT! 2 Hours of Top Action with stars such as Brock Lesnar, Sting, Hulk Hogan, Chris Jericho & Many More! The Wait is over....The War is on!"[/COLOR][/I][/B]

[B][U]FROM PWTORCH.COM Friday, Week 1 May 2007 WCW Nitro News![/U][/B] After the huge press release Regarding WCW returning to TV, the wrestling world is alight with the return of the Monday Night Wars!! We only have a few short weeks to wait until we see the hard hitting action that we knew and loved on Nitro.... ...on a side note, WCW have signed former WWE Light Heavyweight Champion Taka Michinoku to a contract to spice up the WCW Cruiserweight Division, this is seen as a huge coup for WCW as Taka is now a huge star in Japan, and is well known in the US. More signings to the cruiserweight division are touted by many sources within WCW.

[B][U]FROM PWTORCH.COM Saturday, Week 1 May 2007 MISTICO on his way to WCW![/U][/B] The master of La Mistica has landed in USA, and has signed a sensational deal with WCW, under the noses of the WWE! Mistico was given a try out for World Wrestling Entertainment on February 27, 2007 at the ECW/Smackdown Tapings in San Jose, CA, wrestling Dean Malenko in a dark match. He was thought to be in contract negotiations with the WWE but no negotiations could take place when he admitted to John Lauriantas that he still has a CMLL contract, this perhaps was a smoke screen to allow him to join up with WCW. Mistico is one of the most exciting stars in the Pro Wrestling World, and could be the next generation WCW Rey Misterio Jr, The rumours are already rife that Mistico and Taka Michinoku will face WCW Cruiserweight Champion Kid Kash in a triple threat Title Match at Slamboree.... ...What a coup for WCW!

[B][U]FROM PWTORCH.COM Sunday Week 2 May 2007 WWE/TNA Contract News[/U][/B] WWE Announcer Tazz is rumoured to have resigned with the WWE after WCW showed a strong interest in getting Tazz alongside Eric Bischoff & Bret Hart. Tazz refused almost immediately we are told. Interestingly, Kurt Angle hasnt had his TNA contract renewed as of yet. Of course Dixie Carter, TNA President denied we would ever see any TNA Talent venture into WCW unless it was for a reason, but as Angle hasnt accomplished his desired tasks in TNA yet, weve gotta wonder what the inside story is....

Could this be WCWs answer to Umaga? The rumours are that the Sheik will be renamed as the "Shadow" and Matty Anoai, simply as "Anoai"....the duo will wear black clothing and rarely speak on camera.... Pwtorch thinks this sounds like a winner and is interested to see when and if "Anoai" debuts in World Championship Wrestling...

[B][U]FROM PWTORCH.COM Sunday, Week 3 May 2007[/U][/B] [B][U][COLOR="Purple"]WCW Slamboree Press Conference Highlights (as seen on TNAWCW.COM) FROM THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA CONFERENCE ROOM[/COLOR][/U][/B] [QUOTE]The room is set with the paparazzi for the press conference... We see a large long white table with the Slamboree back drop behind with various classic moments from the past of WCW. First into a wild ovation from the fans in attendance is Bret "Hitman" Hart & "Easy E" Eric Bischoff, the WCW commentary team.... Hitman - "Wrestling fans, its a pleasure to be here at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and itll be an even greater pleasure in a week from now when we bring you Slamboree live in your living rooms on Pay Per View and Live here at the MGM Arena....." Bischoff - "It gives us great pleasure to tonight have in attendance with us, the competitors in one half of the Double Main Event, first off, let me introduce to you the amazing, the beautiful....TRISH STRATUS.....and her client CHRIS JERICHO!!!!" Jericho & Stratus step out in to the conference hall to a slight pop then immense boos from the fans here in the MGM! they are wearing matching shiny outfits and Jericho gives everyone the F-U sign...just to show his appreciation..... ...Jericho & Stratus shake the hands of Bischoff & Hart and sit down.... Jericho - "Yeah Baby, The Lionheart and his queen are here in the MGM!!! In a week from tonight, myself, my beautiful Trish, the evil genius Paul Heyman & the "Marvellous" Mark Copani are going to truly show the true meaning of greatness when we destroy the Old Age Rebels, the supposed Mega Powers of The Warrior and the Hulkster.....I dont think ill ever have such an easy match again....10 years ago i might have been scared...but now...NAH!....and i dont think my partner is either.....in fact why not....lets add to the glamour here tonight....Mark, Paul get out here!!!" The fans boo wildly as Heyman & Copani, with his US Title over his shoulder step into the room...they refuse the hands of Hart & Bischoff and hug in an embrace with Jericho & Stratus.... ...they sit down and are about to speak until..... ...The riffs of Jimmy Hendrix rip into the conference room as Jericho, Stratus, Heyman & Copani look shocked! Hogan & Warrior in matching vests and jeans hit the conference to a roaring cheer!!! They shake the hands of the Hitman and stare out the onlooking foursome....They point and mouth a gesture as the foursome look like rabbits caught in headlights!!! Hogan - "WHAT YOU GONNA DO BROTHERS, WHAT YOU GONNA DO...WHEN HULKAMANIA AND THE WARRIOR RUN WILD ON YOU?!?!" The Warrior then leans into the mic.... Warrior - "Hulk....I THINK THEY'RE GONNA BLEED!!!" The fans go wild as Warrior & Hogan attack Copani, Jericho & Heyman as Stratus bails!! They leave a mess behind the table as they stand on the table posing for the cameras as we cut out to the view of Hogan & Warrior being watched by the beaten down Copani, Heyman & Jericho with Bischoff & Hart looking on.....[/QUOTE]

What ever happened to your dynasty to do with the Harts and stampede/wwe? good diary too

[The Ego]

Ah i had a better idea....this!! Im looking for feedback guys on this diary, tell me if you love it or hate it, and if its worth still posting results/news/etc?

[tristram]

Ego, I'm liking this. It seems an entirely more realistic project with a storyline I can tag onto. The Double Main Event Brock Lesnar & The Giant w/ Paul Heyman vs [B]Sting & Mick Foley[/B] Hulk Hogan & The Warrior vs [B]Chris Jericho & Mark Copani[/B] w/ Trish Stratus & Paul Heyman Trouble between Hogan and Warrior? WCW TV Title Match Colt Cabana (C) vs [B]Elix Skipper[/B] *Special Guest Referee - "Macho Man" Randy Savage* WCW Tag Team Title Match [B]Impact Players (c) w/ Dawn Marie[/B] vs The Revolution w/ Cheerleader Melissa vs The Briscoes vs The New Foundation WCW Cruiserweight Title Match [B]Kid Kash (c)[/B] vs Mistico vs TAKA I'd like to go the others, but I think in North America Kid Kash is probably more over and therefore in a sports entertainment promotion the logical pick. WCW Hardcore Title Match - NEW! Roderick Strong vs [B]Bob Sapp[/B] vs Sly Terkay vs The American Dragon Because he was funny in the Longest Yard. *Winner becomes first WCW Hardcore Champion Since Rebirth*

[panix04]

[QUOTE]Brock Lesnar & The Giant w/ Paul Heyman vs [B]Sting & Mick Foley[/B][/QUOTE] lot of different styles in the ring, should be a goodmatch up! H[QUOTE]ulk Hogan & The Warrior vs [B]Chris Jericho & Mark Copani w/ Trish Stratus & Paul Heyman[/B][/QUOTE] A tough call really, 'cos Hogan and the warrior are super-over but to be honest, neither of them are exactly stunning in the ring. I'd like to see youth get the upper hand here and with the presence of Trish and Heyman at ringside you should be able to give the youngsters a cheap win! [QUOTE][B][U]WCW TV Title Match[/U][/B] [B]Colt Cabana (C)[/B] vs Elix Skipper *Special Guest Referee - "Macho Man" Randy Savage*[/QUOTE] I love Chris Hero, so im gutted he didn't win the title, but i think Colt Cabana should hold on to it here, hes a cracking talent. [QUOTE][B][U]WCW Tag Team Title Match[/U][/B] [B]Impact Players (c) w/ Dawn Marie[/B] vs The Revolution w/ Cheerleader Melissa vs The Briscoes vs The New Foundation[/QUOTE] Was tempted to go for the revolution, just because of how much i like Melissa, but Lance Storm is the man! [QUOTE][B][U]WCW Cruiserweight Title Match[/U][/B] Kid Kash (c) vs [B]Mistico[/B] vs TAKA[/QUOTE] Im going with the debutant here. [QUOTE][B][U]WCW Hardcore Title Match - NEW![/U][/B] Roderick Strong vs Bob Sapp vs [B]Sly Terkay[/B] vs The American Dragon[/QUOTE] I think Terkay has bucketloads of potential, possibly needs to be stuck with a mouthpiece though.

Tristram, Im delighted with your comments, as thats what i was trying to acheive, a realistic edge to the diary.... Thanks for the kind words. Panix, thanks for your insight, all will be revealed shortly!

[B][U]FROM PWTORCH.COM Friday, Week 4 May 2007 WWE Make Groundbreaking Signings[/U][/B] He must be dry, because Scott Hall has signed with the WWE on a short term deal to spice up the roster, expect him to join DX on his debut and hang around for a short while. Fans are said to be very excited that finally a big name has joined DX. WWE has also re-signed Chris Kanyon to a deal which will see him tie up with seemingly doomed ECW Brand. Another signing of Goldust aka Dustin Rhodes was confirmed today, which will see the fan favourite probably retake his place on RAW. Finally, former multi time tag team champion Rick Steiner has signed with the WWE, PWTorch cant quite understand what WWE Creative has in store for the Steiner Brother.
