I was looking for some help/input on 2 related scenarios that I am working on.
Both would be 2001 WCW scenarios, one looking at things from the perspective of WCW owned by Fuscient and run by Eric Bischoff. The other would be looking at the WCW as owned by Shane McMahon, but keeping it seperate from WWF.
The basic roster that I would use for both would be the talent that WWE signed when they bought the WCW, since they all had contracts that were reasonable. The 30 names that would be the base for either scenario would be:
Mike Awesome, Hugh Morrus, Lance Storm, Chavo Guerrero Jr, Shawn Stasiak, Johnny the Bull, Shane Helms, Shannon Moore, Evan Karagias, Chuck Palumbo, Sean O'Haire, Mike Sanders, Mark Jindrak, Elix Skipper, Alan Funk, Lash LeRoux, The Wall, Kaz Hayashi, Jimmy Yang, Jamie Knoble, Stacey Keibler, Reno, EZ Money, Kid Romeo, Diamond Dallas Page, Billy Kidman, Torrie Wilson, Booker T, Sharmell
That is where the help comes in though, as far as who else should make up the rosters either way. I am trying to work with the contracts under AOL Time/Warner being kept in place, which I have found info of these:
WCW Contracts
Bam Bam Bigelow November 2001
Bill Goldberg Summer 2002
Buff Bagwell March 2003
Disco Inferno March 2002
Ed Ferrara October 2001
Gene Okerlund October 2002
Kevin Nash December 2001
Lex Luger August 2001
Rey Mysterio Jr. June 2002
Ric Flair February 2002
Sam Greco October 2003
Shane Douglas April 2002
Sting April 2002
Rick Steiner November 2001
Scott Steiner November 2001
Some of the top "Free Agents" that I would consider to fill in the roster either way would be:
Rob Van Dam
Tommy Dreamer
Curt Hennig
Dustin Rhodes (Goldust)
Hulk Hogan
Kid Kash
Danny Doring
Roadkill
KroniK(Bryan Clark/Brian Adams)
Big Vito
I am looking to try to keep the roster at about 50 or so. I look forward to hearing good suggestions on both sides of things.
