Edited May 15, 2004 by Steveio

[cjt4ever]

Yeah great show man. Lets all hope that Hall gets his push and maybe even Syxx aswell.

[Acemaster]

Souled Out's card kicks ass! Solid match ups. I smell nWo winning most of the matches so far. And brinning Shamrock to WCW is a good thing. Now this diary is finally looking good.

[Stevie Idol]

Good to see you booking realisticly. I think that was a major problem in your last diary. But so far this has been good.

PUSH MALENKO~!!~

[Steveio]

? Idol guy he booked realistic in the last diary...

[Hewey]

Great Nitro Hewey. I wonder who you'll push to the World Title this time. I think it's going to be Hall.

Well I don't want to give away anything but Hall will be a big main eventer star, In my other diary (WWF '95) I was getting ready to give him a run with the title but the diary got deleted so yeah

WOW Great Nitro. Word of addvice thow brin Curt Henning in WCW. That be so sweet, I always liked him.

I might, I always liked Curt and thought in his WCW run he was pretty underrated, Could happen just gotta keep an eye out.

Yeah great show man. Lets all hope that Hall gets his push and maybe even Syxx aswell.

Syxx will more than likely get a push too

Souled Out's card kicks ass! Solid match ups. I smell nWo winning most of the matches so far. And brinning Shamrock to WCW is a good thing. Now this diary is finally looking good.

Thanks man , I thought the Souled Out card would bomb, Since it's not the strongest but then again it's WCW V nWo and the nWo has some pretty shitty members. I agree with Shamrock being a good thing

Good to see you booking realisticly. I think that was a major problem in your last diary. But so far this has been good.

Thanks and yeah good point, In my last diary I went after all the good talent and stuff... Well my main goal here is realism so I doubt I'll be debuting people left and right

Thanks for the comments, Saturday Night preview should be up later

Edit- Oh yeah Stevie Idol I was a big Malenko fan during this time so I'll be getting him over one way or another to hold a major title....

And thanks for the link Steveio I appreciate it

The Guerrero/Syxx segment was suppose to happen on the last Nitro but I forgot to add it and used it for something else, I would have done it for the upcoming Nitro but that's six days before the PPV and it wouldn't give me too much of a hype for it.... I know at the actual Souled Out event they fought in a ladder match, I added it because the card is pretty weak and needs something big

[Steveio]

Great Show Hewey....One thing thow, I wanna see more Scott Hall. He is probally one of my top 5 or 10 wrestlers.

I hope you do give Hall a big run with the title, i hope you can use Jericho as well.

Im wondering what you will do with Goldberg, if you use him at all..

Right now Goldberg is a free agent, I don't know if I'll hire him or not... I could always give someone else the winning streak and push... (Not to the world title though)

Main event should be up later

Bob Sapp.

Give Bob Sapp the push AND the title AND the company AND everything else.

[Steveio]

Dont hire Goldberg, but if you do dont put him against Bret hart...lol..But honestly if you hire him your going to end up pushing him anyways. When I did this scenario...even know I didnt like him that mutch for some reason I pushed him...well those are my thoughts...

This diary seems a tad predictable. Why must Kliq members hold all the top spots in your diaries? Fair enough if your a mark for them, but try and make a little less predictable.

I don't get how the clique members are holding the top spots, Hall and Nash are in the tag team division, Syxx is in the US title division.... How is that them in the top spots?

I do agree it's a tad predictable but that's because I'm only in the first month, Hopefully things won't stay predictable for long....

Nice SN Hewey. Sould Out looks great. Nice Ladder Match tough.

Mean Gene Okerlund- I'm standing by with the young tag team of Chavo Guerrero Jr., And Alex Wright. Today you two young men prepare to take on the veteran team of Dirty Dick Slater and Bunkhouse Buck. Some might think you two are at a disadvantage because Buck and Slater are veterans and because they have Colonel Parker at their side, Your thoughts?

Chavo Guerrero Jr.- You know Gene everyone looks at me and Alex like we're going to lose, Because we're younger and don't have as much experience as Bunkhouse Buck and Dirty Dick Slater, But today you two are going to find out that we're the better team!

Alex Wright- Chavo and Alex Wright today will prove why we're the top young talent here in World Championship Wrestling, Today you're going to see this young team beat Bunkhouse Buck and Dirty Dick Slater!
