Michael Cole- The tag teams here in WCW all want a shot at the gold, Teams like Harlem Heat, Public Enemy, Faces Of Fear, Gomez and Renegade and many more tag teams.

I am a bit confused hewey, why is the wolfpac heels...I thought they were always faces....plz help me out here...

The face Wolfpac you're thinking of is Sting/Nash/Konnan/Luger/Savage. But in 97 Hall/Nash/Syxx had formed their own "wolfpac" group and they were heels.... It formed around late summer.... All the Syxx/Nash/Hall version of the Wolfpac were was mainly a different combination of tag team champions.... At times it'd be Hall/Syxx defending the titles even though Hall/Nash were the champions.... Savage and Hall teamed once in awhile to defend the belts but I don't think Savage was wolfpac....

So Sting/Nash/Konnan/Luger/Savage '98 is the face Wolfpac.... Syxx/Hall/Nash is the heel one... Hope that makes sense....

I haven't read ME yet Hewey but about the catchphrase for Syxx. He said it on WCW Nitro for Playstation so it sounded like a catchpharse. Use it if ya want.

Good ME Hewey. I have a few things to say though.

Scott Norton's finisher is a Shoulder Breaker I think and I don't think that he called it The Norton Bomb. I may be wrong though. And I didn't know Harlem Heat was heel in 1997. I guess they turned face in 1998.

Anyway, good show. Nitro is next so I can't wait to see what you have planned for us.

P.S. nWo is just to sweet! So quit making them lose....lol.

I didn't know his finisher was a shoulder breaker but I remember him having something called the Norton Bomb....

Technically Harlem Heat were heels in 97 since they made no face turn in 96 prior to it, I honestly have no idea how they turned face since at times they'd face the nWo and then they'd face babyface teams like the Steiners and whatever else.....

Thanks for the comments, Nitro preview should be up later

Hey man, I haven't had time to check out this diary before but now I have read it and it is sounding awsome so far. I never was a WCW fan so I don't know all the wrestlers and stuff so this diary should help me. It's a shame though that all the WWF '95 diary was lost, it was on a roll. Anyways, I hope this diary does well and I'll be adding it to my sig for ya!

Announcers: Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan

Live from: Denver, Colorado

Monday Nitro opens up with it's usual regular opening and then we're taken to the area where pyros shoot off.... We're then taken to the announce booth where Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan are standing by.

Tony Schiavone- Welcome to Monday Nitro! We are live here in beautiful Denver, Colorado and Bobby what a night we're gonna have! Last week we saw The Giant get kicked out of the nWo and we know that The Giant is here! We also know that the nWo is also here! What will happen tonight?

Bobby Heenan - The Giant got booted out of the nWo last week for asking for his World Heavyweight title shot and you know the big man isn't going to be in a good mood especially after having "nWo" spray painted on his back!

Tony Schiavone- Fans will Sting be here tonight? Will he talk? Sting showed up at Starrcade during The Giant versus Lex Luger match and left the baseball bat in the middle of the ring for one of those men to use.... Luger used it and won.... Does that mean Sting is WCW? Fans tonight we got great action, The Cruiserweight title will be on the line, Diamond Dallas Page is in action and speaking of Page, Will the nWo offer him a spot in the nWo tonight? Fans tonight you're going to get action like only WCW can give you!

Bobby Heenan - Oh yeah you won't get evil plumbers wrestling around here, You'll get the best action that only WCW can offer!

The nWo wants a new member!

The music of the nWo hits the arena to boos from the fans here in Denver..... Eric Bischoff makes his way down the ramp way but stops.... Hollywood Hogan then comes down the ramp way using the WCW World Championship as a guitar playing it..... Hogan then stops as Scott Hall comes down the ramp way walking ever so cocky wearing the WCW Tag Team Championship around his waste..... Hall throws his toothpick at the camera as Bischoff and Hogan reach the ring.... Hall points back to the entry way as Kevin Nash walks down the entry way also wearing the WCW Tag Team Championship around his waste.... Syxx then follows Nash, Wearing Eddie Guerrero's WCW United States Championship around his waste.... Nash and Syxx point back to the entry way as the rest of the nWo.... Big Bubba Rogers, Buff Bagwell, Elizabeth, Masahiro Chono, Michael Wallstreet, Scott Norton, Ted DiBiase and Vincent make their way down the ramp way. Eventually everyone gets inside the ring and Eric Bischoff is handed a microphone.

Eric Bischoff- Thank you for that rousing ovation!

The fans boo the nWo as Bischoff looks on with a big smile.

Eric Bischoff- Now last week we all saw what happened, The Giant had the nerve to ask Hollywood Hogan for a title shot after dropping the ball at Starrcade! Giant you blew it against Luger! You couldn't even put Luger away! How dare you ask for a shot after dropping the ball? Giant you might have won World War 3 but lets not forget you had alot of help from the nWo to do so pal! What do you got to say Hollywood?

The fans boo as Eric Bischoff hands Hollywood Hogan the microphone.... Hollywood Hogan looks at the crowd who chants "Hogan sucks" over and over again.... Hogan puts the title on his shoulder and prepares to speak.

Hollywood Hogan- Giant brother you gotta realize one thing, And that brother is that Hollywood Hogan is the WCW Champion brother and that there's no way you will ever see the title again! Remember that I was the one who beat you at Hog Wild for it brother! Giant you dropped the ball at Starrcade and made the nWo look like a joke! And brother you're not worthy of facing Hollywood Hogan! Hollywood rules the world brother and I am the WCW Champion! But you did win World War 3 and you are the number one contender for now..... Giant if you want a shot at the title I accept! I will put the title on the line against you anytime, anywhere! Any place! Because brother I have beaten you some many times and one more time won't matter! But Giant just remember something brother, I got the whole nWo backing me up while you're all alone! Hollywood Hogan fears no one and Giant you will learn why Hollywood and the nWo rule the world!

The fans continue booing Hogan and chanting "Hogan sucks" as Hogan hands the microphone back to Eric Bischoff.

Eric Bischoff- Hold on Hollywood, The Giant might be the number one contender but he's going to have to prove himself tonight.... I'll explain the rules a little later tonight though.... And Giant if you prove yourself worthy then you will meet Hollywood Hogan at nWo Souled Out for the WCW World Championship! Speaking of Souled Out there's two men right here that are champions but have no competition for nWo Souled Out.... And they are the WCW Tag Team Champions Scott Hall and Kevin Nash and they are The Outsiders!

The fans boo as Eric Bischoff hands Scott Hall the microphone.... Hall does his "I'm scared" finger taunt at the fans before getting ready to speak.

Scott Hall- Hey yo!

The fans say "hey yo" back to Hall as Hall grins, Hall then prepares to speak again....

Scott Hall- Now we got some business to take care of, But first how many of you people came here to see the nWo?

The fans boo Scott Hall and the nWo.........

Scott Hall- And how many of you came here to see the WCW?

The fans cheer for WCW as Hall and the nWo look on, Some members look pissed while Hall just grins....

Scott Hall- One more for the good guys! Now lets take care of business.... Me and Nash are the current champions and we got no competition! We've beaten every sorry excuse for a tag team WCW has! We're still the champions! Me and "Big Sexy" have been the champions since October and no one has come close to beating us! Not the Nasty Boys, Not Harlem Heat.... Not even the so called Faces Of Fear! We want a real challenge for nWo Souled Out.... We'll even put the belts on the line! If any two men have the guts accept our challenge.... And take a beating Wolfpac style!

The fans boo Scott Hall as he hands the microphone over to Kevin Nash....

Kevin Nash- Now we know that WCW is lacking talent in the tag team division and that the current tag teams in WCW are like luggage that need to be carried around every night.... But come on! Find us some decent challengers! We're begging WCW to find us a tag team who can last against us! Me and Scott Hall are the champs and we got no competition! There's no one out there worthy of facing us! Well we'll talk about the tag team division later.... Right now there's one person that the nWo wants to talk about and that is you.... Diamond Dallas Page!

The fans cheer for Diamond Dallas Page's name as Hall and Nash look on with a cocky smile on their faces.

Kevin Nash- Now DDP we called and called you this past weekend about joining us and you have yet to answer us.... We know you're wrestling tonight so after your match we're going to ask you once again to joins.... DDP if you're smart you won't turn us down again..... Because you found out at Starrcade what happens when you turn down the nWo! DDP we're sorry about Starrcade but we'll make it up to you later tonight when we give you the nWo colors!

The fans boo as Nash hands the microphone over to Syxx.... Syxx takes the WCW United States Championship off of around his waste and puts it on his shoulder as the fans boo.

Syxx- Hey Eddie Guerrero! I still got your belt punk! Eddie I laid down the challenge for nWo Souled Out and you have yet to answer it.... I know you're scared of facing an athlete of my caliber but Eddie if you want the title back you're gonna have to accept the challenge sooner or later! Eddie Guerrero you don't deserve to be the WCW United States Champion and I will prove it to you one way or another! So be a man and accept my challenge! Eddie I know you love to go up top and use your Frog Splash but Eddie whenever you're feeling froggy I'll slap on the Buzzkiller, Wolfpac Style! To ya! I'll choke you out and prove to the world who the true United States Champion is! So Eddie Guerrero don't sing it, Bring it!

The fans chant "Syxx sucks" as Syxx grabs the title and holds it high in the air..... Syxx then hands the microphone back over to Eric Bischoff.

Eric Bischoff- Now we did come out here for another reason, And that is STING! Sting we know you haven't been treated right by WCW.... And we support you! And we want you in the nWo with us! Look at this group! The best in the history of pro wrestling! Sting you know you belong here with us.... And we know you're here somewhere.... So Sting come on down here and take this nWo shirt.....

Hollywood Hogan pulls out a nWo T-Shirt as the fans boo....

Eric Bischoff- And join us! Come on we're waiting for you Stinger! Come on out here Sting! Join the New World Order!

The fans chant "We want Sting" over and over again as the nWo wait and look up at the long ramp way.... After about a minute Sting makes his way down the entry way wearing his long black coat and carrying a baseball bat with him.... Sting gets into the ring as the nWo back off..... Bischoff hands Hogan the microphone as Sting stares Hogan down.....

Hollywood Hogan- Now Sting I know you and the nWo haven't always looked eye to eye but Stinger remember something.... I always had your back in WCW! When you were off fighting the Horsemen remember it was Hollywood who had your back.... Sting you belong with us in the nWo.... Your place is with us... I mean you're wearing our colors all over your face! So Sting take the shirt, Put it on and follow Hollywood and all of the nWo brother!

Sting looks at Hogan who hands him the T-Shirt.... Sting grabs the shirt...... Sting though just THROWS THE SHIRT DOWN ON THE CANVAS! Sting then gets out of the ring and heads to the back! The nWo look shocked as Monday Nitro goes to a commercial break.

Lex Luger defeated The Taskmaster with Jimmy Hart

Lex Luger came down to the ring to a huge ovation from the fans.... Taskmaster started off jumping Luger from behind and stomping and choking Luger down in the corner!

Taskmaster followed with chokes in the corner and a big side suplex for another 2 count. Taskmaster had Luger down and went for the Double Foot Stomp but Luger rolled out of the way! Luger then nailed Taskmaster with right hands and followed with three atomic drops! Luger then nailed two clotheslines to Taskmaster sending him out to the floor!

Diamond Dallas Page- You know you guys have been asking DDP to join the nWo for quite awhile now, But my question is why didn't you guys ask me to join when the nWo first got together?

Hall goes to talk but DDP interrupts him......

Diamond Dallas Page- Don't give me any of that crap! And then you guys have the nerve to cost me the WCW United States Championship? Well I would like to give all three of you Diamond Cutters but what's the point? The nWo is on top of WCW! So I would like join and wear the black and white proudly!

One more thing hewey if I can recall the people loves the nWo even when they were bad. People just loved bad asses. So when you do the crowd cheering thing...You should put that some of the people are cheering for the nWo. I know when I went to a WCW show the fans were going crazy when the nWo came outand beat the hell outta WCW wrestlers. Just a suggestion.

I agree with whoever said don't overuse the nWo. My suggestion would be have the whole nWo Invasion/takeover angle play out and then have the nWo split, feud amongst themselves... and then eventually disband completely. By the middle of 98 I'd think it should definitely be over (Though it got stale end of 97 I thought).

News from wrestleworld.com

January 7th

The Outsiders news, Current Souled Out card, Ken Shamrock debut, WCW considering hiring?

The Outsiders refuse to do the J.O.B and heat with Hall and Nash backstage?

One of the original plans for Monday Nitro was to face The Giant defeat The Outsiders in a handicap match to earn his shot at the World Championship on Nitro, But both Hall and Nash refused saying that it would make them look bad to job to one person.... The end result was changed into The Giant taking on Scott Norton and Big Bubba Rogers. But there's been heat on Kevin Nash for his comments on Monday Nitro about the tag team division saying "the tag team division and that the current tag teams in WCW are like luggage that need to be carried around every night" that got many wrestlers in the back very angry...... Some have complained to management but what can they do? Kevin Nash and Scott Hall have alot of power in WCW and one of Nash's close friends is booking for WCW in a move that many feel Nash made just so he'd have someone in the booking department in his favor. Hall and Nash are known for having power in the back and many feel that the worse is to come......

WCW considering hiring Curt Hennig?

Rumors are going around in the back that World Championship Wrestling might be interested in Curt Hennig. Hennig left the WWF in November of 1996 and since then he has been a free agent. Hennig hasn't wrestled a match since late 1993 when he re-injured his back.... Rumors has it that Hennig wants to come back to active competition soon.... Hennig has said that he could go back to the WWF or possibly go to WCW soon.... Many have said that the WWF doesn't want to bring back Hennig since they feel he won't fit the new style their trying to bring into the company the riskier sort of product for the WWF.... Plus Hennig is asking for alot of money which the WWF needs to save for younger talent.... Could we see Curt Hennig show up in World Championship Wrestling? If Hennig does go to WCW what will happen? Only time will tell.

Ken Shamrock's debut

Ken Shamrock was scheduled to debut at nWo Souled Out but plans have been pushed back to early February, Shamrock was scheduled to face nWo member Michael Wallstreet but WCW wants to hype Shamrock's debut for a couple weeks before his in ring debut. Right now Ken Shamrock has a solid two year deal with World Championship Wrestling and he will more than likely get a big push during his stay with WCW.

Current WCW nWo Souled Out Card

WCW.com has posted a current card for nWo Souled which will take place live January 19th from Dayton, Ohio. Here's the current card for this WCW versus nWo event.

Masahiro Chono V Jeff Jarrett

Buff Bagwell V Scotty Riggs

Big Bubba Rogers V Chris Benoit

Michael Wallstreet V Diamond Dallas Page

Scott Norton V Lex Luger

The Outsiders© V Steiner Brothers WCW Tag Team Championship

Syxx V Eddie Guerrero© WCW United States Championship

Hollywood Hogan© V The Giant WCW World Championship

The Masahiro Chono/Lex Luger match was changed due to management feeling their styles would clash. The card is not final and there are some matches that might end up changing....

Thanks for the replies guys :D
