Hewey

TGC I been reading these and I gotta say I'm enjoying this diary alot, I started off with the recaps and I liked most of what's been going on. I loved the way you had Steamboat debut with the Dragons, As well as tag team tourmoil. Backlund's group is another nice touch and their feud with Brian Pillman has been great thus far.

I liked how you used the Television title as well, The debut of Owen Hart was well done too. I like the way you handled Sting's turn and hopefully you won't job him to Luger.....

Anyways looking forward to seeing more shows, Great work

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Problems with Team WCW?

Randy Savage's music hits the arena to a huge ovation from the crowd, Randy Savage stops on the entry way and spins around as pyro shoots off behind him. Savage then walks down the isle way wearing black and white with a determined look on his face. Savage gets inside the ring and is handed a microphone as the fans cheer.

Randy Savage- Oooooooh yeah! The Macho Man is live in San Antonio oooooooh yeah! And you know something? Thirteen days from now everyone will see The Macho Man take the nWo apart! Uncensored will be the night where Randy Savage destroys the New World Order! I got my team and come Uncensored we're gonna dominate! And after I survive Uncensored I will get a World Championship rematch against Hollywood Hogan at Spring Stampede! Hollywood Hogan when I get you all by myself in the ring you better be ready for a fight! Hollywood you won't have your goons to back you up this time! Hogan Uncensored will be the night where your career takes a downward spiral and then come April at Spring Stampede your career will end when I take the WCW World Championship off of around your waist! And then....

Savage gets interrupted by the sound of bagpipes, Rowdy Roddy Piper's music hits the arena to a huge ovation from the fans as Savage looks on, Piper makes his way down the entry way wearing his red kilt with his "Icon" T-Shirt. Piper gets inside the ring and is handed a microphone. Savage and Piper stare each other down as the fans chant "Rowdy".

Randy Savage- Piper I don't recall asking you to come out here, This is my interview time! I know we're going to be partners at Uncensored but you don't interrupted "The Macho Man"!

Rowdy Roddy Piper- I didn't mean to interrupt Randy, I just couldn't help but to overhear you say you're surviving Uncensored? Now Randy you are one amazing athlete you've been there before, You're a former two time WCW World Champion. But Randy you won't be the only one surviving Uncensored. See if you even survive there's gonna be another man who wants his title shot and that's me! Randy I know you hate Hogan and everything but everyone wants to see Rowdy Roddy Piper get his hands on Hogan!

Randy Savage- Piper you already got your shot and you lost! And Piper let me tell you something brother, If you think you're getting to Hogan first then you're crazy! I've been out since October and I want what's mine! Piper I'll be the one surviving and getting the shot at the gold! Not you!

Rowdy Roddy Piper- Randy you think I give a damn about how long you've been out for? I had the title won if it wasn't for Hogan's little buddy The Disciple! Randy Savage if anyone deserves a title shot it's me! I'm only participating in this thing because the surviving member from team WCW gets a title shot at Spring Stampede! And Randy my friend I want that title shot!

Randy Savage- Piper you want the title and I want the shot, Only one man is going to get it! I doesn't matter if both of us survive or not. One man will get that title shot and Piper you bet your skirt it'll be "The Macho Man"! Even if I have to wrestle you for it!

Rowdy Roddy Piper- Even if you have to wrestle me for it? Randy I know you think you truly are a "Macho Man" and who knows maybe you are, But in the ring you could not beat me and that's a fact!

Both men get nose to nose staring each other down in a intense face off, The fans are divided and chant both men's names. When it looks like they're about to go at it the music of "The Total Package" Lex Luger hits the arena. Lex Luger and The Giant make their way down the entry way as Randy Savage and Rowdy Piper look on, Luger and The Giant get into the ring and both men are handed microphones.

Lex Luger- Randy, Piper calm down! Don't go doing anything stupid! You two are representing Team WCW at Uncensored and Team WCW has got to be focused for the match! You two should stop worrying about the title shot and focus more on taking out the nWo! We got to be united when we face them! And you two can't be going at it like to idiots!

Randy Savage- Did you just call "The Macho Man" an idiot?

Rowdy Roddy Piper- Randy shut up! You're always getting angry! You need to cool down pal!

Randy Savage- I don't take advice from men in skirts!

Rowdy Roddy Piper- This man in a skirt can kick your ass all over San Antonio pal!

Randy Savage- Lets see you try Piper!

The Giant- Both of you shut the hell up now! If you two don't shut up right now I'll kick both your asses! If you two don't cool it then there's no way we can win at Uncensored!

Lex Luger- Listen to him guys, The nWo has been on top for way too long! At Uncensored we got to show unity or we'll never win!

Randy Savage- Listen to him? Listen to The Giant? A former nWo member? You have gotta be kidding me Luger!

Lex Luger- He's changed! Come on Randy! He's WCW all the way!

Randy Savage- All the way huh? Well I seem to remember a night where he and the nWo kicked all our asses! Where he'd beat us down like dogs! You might be over it but I'm not! And I don't trust The Giant!

Rowdy Roddy Piper- To be honest with you, I don't trust the big man either. It's hard to forget getting beat down by him when he was in the nWo! And Luger I hope you haven't forgotten it!

Randy Savage- Giant you might have these people fooled but I know if given the chance you'd go back to the nWo! You and Hogan might be enemies for now but I know if he asked you to go back you'd go in minute!

The Giant- You are the last guy to talk about someone having problems with Hogan! Savage you and Hogan have been buddies for a long time! If anyone is not to be trusted then it's you! Because as history shows us, It doesn't matter how many times you and Hulk get into a fight.... Because sooner or later you two end up making up!

Savage goes right after The Giant but Luger stands in his way while Piper stands in front of The Giant not letting the two men come to blows.

The Giant- You better hold him back! Savage you want to talk about me not being loyal to WCW? Fine I did make a mistake and joined the nWo! But I now am WCW all the way! You can trust me come Uncensored!

Lex Luger- See Savage? You can trust him come Uncensored! And you can trust me! Team WCW is the four of us, We got to be united to take on the nWo. Savage you and Piper better be ready come Uncensored!

Luger's music hits as Luger and The Giant stare down Piper and Savage, Luger and The Giant then head to the back with Piper and Savage still looking on. Monday Nitro goes to a commercial break.

Sorry for the shows being up so late but I had computer problems yesterday and couldn't get on till today. Monday Nitro preview should be up tomorrow as well as the show.

NOOOOOOOOO You made The Disciple wrestle!

But I was surprised as the decent MQ though,I never had the idea that he and Savage could put up such a good match,have you sent him to Power Plant recently?

Yeah he was "The Booty Man" so I just threw him in there, I don't know if his stats improved but Savage has some good stats anyways probably making the MQ decent.

Other than that, Uncensored Looks Good, I don't like Ultimo challenging Eddie for the US Title,he just does not fit the bill and more Mongo pushing-I also dont get how an Interview involving *him* can get 79 in rating, but it's your game!

I didn't really have anyone else that could really put on a decent match with Guerrero and after Superbrawl VII's train wreck of a match with McMichael I decided to give Eddie one good challenger, Lets hope their match gets a good rating. McMichael's segment probably got a good rating since it had Debra and Jarrett with him.

Great show Hewey, Ultimo doesnt really fit as a challenger but it will be an awesome match and could carry on another month as a good feud so i dont mind. I really like the eight-man tag match, even though Disciple will be wrestling again! Maybe he should tag in and get pinned straight away, lol.

If Dragon/Eddie goes well then I might carry it on as a feud, First I want to see what kind of match they'll put on. I put Disciple in there because Hall's wrestling Page and there's no other realistic nWo member to put into the main event so I had to put Hogan's ass kisser in there.

Nice show Hewey, well done. Lets hope at Uncensored Benoit defends his title and Scott Hall wins. He always deserved the WCW Title.

Thanks, Yeah Scott Hall did deserve the WCW title (WWF title too) hopefully if I carry this diary onto like 1998 Hall will get a run with the gold (if injuries, rehab doesn't get in his way)

Thanks for the comments, Weekend shows should be up later

Steven Regal challenges Chris Benoit for Uncensored

Monday Nitro returns from the commercial break with Mean Gene Okerlund standing in the ring holding a microphone.

Mean Gene Okerlund- We are live here in beautiful Miami, Florida and fans what a night it has been so far. And it's only about to get better. Two weeks ago on Monday Nitro we saw a new WCW Television Champion crowned and that man is a member of the Four Horsemen, Ladies and gentlemen at this time allow me to introduce to you the current WCW Television Champion Chris Benoit and his manager "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson!

"Canadian Crippler" hits the arena to cheers from the fans as Arn Anderson and Chris Benoit make their way down to the ring both men wearing Horsemen T-Shirts and Benoit has the WCW Television Championship on his shoulder. Benoit and Anderson get inside the ring and raise their fingers in the air as the crowd chants for the Horsemen.

Mean Gene Okerlund- Chris Benoit it has been signed for Uncensored you will be defending the Television Championship against Steven Regal. Chris Benoit you won the title two weeks ago and you have been a fighting champion defending the title against everyone. But what many fans want to know is what's the situation between you and Arn Anderson?

Arn Anderson- Well Gene it's real simple, I am now managing Chris Benoit. I know Chris doesn't need help to win matches but he does need someone who's been in the game to guide his career and take him to the top of World Championship Wrestling. Chris Benoit is now the WCW Television Champion! And at Uncensored I am confident that Chris Benoit will retain the title against Steven Regal.

Mean Gene Okerlund- Chris Benoit last week Steven Regal attacked you and laid you out backstage softening you up for your match with him at Uncensored, Chris are you going to be in any kind of shape to wrestle Steven Regal at Uncensored?

Chris Benoit- You know Regal attacked me from behind last week and broke two of my ribs but I'm still here Gene, Regal I know you want my Television Championship very badly but the fact of the matter is come Uncensored two men are gonna fight for this title and Regal only one man can come out champion and that's going to be me!

Mean Gene Okerlund- At Uncensored you certainly have your work cut out for you because.....

Mean Gene is interrupted by the music of Steven Regal to boos from the crowd, Regal stands on top of the entry way with a microphone in hand as Chris Benoit looks on with an intense look in his eyes.

Steven Regal- Chris Benoit I couldn't help but to overhear your little comments, First of all sunshine everyone knows that you didn't beat me! You got lucky! You don't deserve to be the WCW Television Champion! And as far as Uncensored goes I know you'll have Arn Anderson in your corner, And not that Arn Anderson scares me or anything but I know he'll try to pull something to get you disqualified so Benoit how about at Uncensored it's no disqualifications?

Chris Benoit- You're on I accept!

Steven Regal- Good but now there's another rule that I don't like and that's the ten minute time limit. Benoit I want to beat you for more than ten minutes so how about no time limits?

Chris Benoit- You got a deal!

Steven Regal- There's one more thing Benoit, I don't want a normal no disqualification match with you, I want it to be a strap match! You and I strapped together and the winner has to touch all four corners in the ring? What do you say to that?

Chris Benoit- I accept a strap match! Regal come Uncensored you my friend are gonna be in a world of pain! I'll take that strap and hit you over and over again! Regal you're gonna be in for the biggest beating of your life come Uncensored!

Steven Regal- Benoit you listen up you miserable little toe rag! You got lucky two weeks ago but come Uncensored I will give you the beating of a lifetime you horrible human being! Do I make myself clear? At Uncensored I will end your career and take back what's mine!

Chris Benoit- Regal if you think this title is leaving me at Uncensored then you got another thing coming! At Uncensored there'll be no way you'll be beating me in a strap match! There will be one winner and that's going to be me!

On topic, another great Nitro hewey. I am happy to hear Hall Vs Page is happening at Unsensored and DDP so has to win it and then go on to win the World Title  Nahh maybe that's a bit too much of a huge push, but this match is looking good and my money is on Page to walk away with the win.

Yeah I started this feud to put Page over as a main eventer, He's over but not main event over and hopefully this feud will get him there. I chose Hall to feud with him since they both have high brawling stats which could help put on a great match.

Nice to see Savage back as long as you use him in the right way then its fine. I will mark out for a Savage/Hogan match at the PPV as they used to put on great match's. The feud is looking good, but I cant see Hogan losing the strap to Savage, I think it'll be to Sting.

I too liked their matches (All though their Halloween Havoc '96 match sucked) and I wanted to bring Savage back and what better way then to feud with Hogan?

Cruiserweight action is looking good too. I want to see Juventud Guerrera in and pushed to the top, huge push

Yeah I'm trying to get some of the cruiserweights more over and Juvy's one of them that I would want to give the Cruiserweight Championship to in the future.

Oh and there is one more thing. FORCE David Flair into WCW and push him as much as possible as he is a legend. Okay not a legend, but I like him a lot even if he isn't a great wrestler. Bring him in and give him a small feud, he is great with Daffney too

I don't think Daffney's in the scenario but when Flair is ready to be called up from development I'll see what I can do with him :thumbs-up:

[some good news in that update Hewey, lots of options for the future. Its good to see you planning ahead like before.

Gotta plan ahead to make it work

Saturday Night/Main Event should be up within an hour or so

Good show, McMichael turning on Anderson was unexpected as well as Madusa helping the nWo. Looks like Savage is on his way out of the nWo which is good in my opinion. Malenko as Cruiserweight champion is good and now Eddie can go on to bigger things.

Souled Out was a good show and I'm looking forward to Superbrawl VIII

Ultimo Dragon with Sonny Oono defeated Psychosis

The crowd is dead silent for this one. The match started off with both men trading a few counters and pin fall situations with Dragon getting the best of Psychosis.

Ultimo Dragon eventually went for a hurricanrana from the top turnbuckle but Psychosis countered into a top turnbuckle sunset flip! Psychosis followed up with right hands and a big tornado DDT. Psychosis then powerbombed Dragon and headed up top. Psychosis went for the Guillotine Legdrop but Ultimo Dragon rolled out of the way!

Afterwards as Ultimo Dragon celebrated his win Sonny Oono shouted "Guerrero you're next!" before letting out a evil laugh.

This match suffered because the crowd were still pumped up from the last one, and so this bout was seen as something of a let-down to them.

And well you turned out to be quite the scum bag! Scott Hall you turned out to be nWo for life and you wanted DDP in the nWo, You wanted me with you guys but you didn't ask me to join from beginning. Why was that Scott? Well you found out my answer this year when I gave you the Diamond Cutter! Hall we've had our history and I want to settle it tonight! So come on out here and accept my challenge like a man! I don't have all night some come on out!

Diamond Dallas Page- Hall you're a real tough aren't you? You hide behind the nWo and when someone challenges you to a fight you make up some injury crap!

Awesome shows, Hall/Hogan/Sting should be good but sadly I don't see Hall winning (all though Sting should be the one going over)

Nash/Giant also seems to be going well and hopefully Nash wins (All though not by injuring Giant's neck)

Here's my predictions, The card looks fantastic by the way

Sting for the vacant World Title (w/Zybysko as ref)

Randy Savage

Kevin Nash

Bret Hart

Bill Goldberg

DDP & Booker T

Raven

Eddie Guerrero

Chris Jericho, Konnan & Brian Adams & Scott Norton

The tention in the nWo is going along nicely but hopefully you won't seperate them into the Wolfpac like WCW did.

Nitro was good, I don't like the title being held up since it's exactly what happened in real life. I would have just set up Hogan/Sting at Souled Out with Sting going in as champion.

Flair/Hart is going to be good as well, I'm looking forward to seeing them go at it.

I don't really like Bagwell going for the US title but that's just because I'm not a Bagwell fan, Hopefully DDP wins.

Live from: Los Angeles, California

Monday Nitro opens up with it's regular opening and then we're taken to the area where pyro shoots off.... We're then taken to the announce booth where Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan are standing by. Schiavone and Heenan hype up tonight's show talking about Superbrawl VII last night and how Hollywood Hogan retained the World Championship against Rowdy Roddy Piper. They then talk about tonight's main event where Lex Luger and The Giant defend the WCW Tag Team Championship against Kevin Nash and Syxx of the nWo Wolfpac!

Starting off the night with the nWo

The theme of the New World Order hits the arena to a mixed reaction from the crowd as Hollywood Hogan and Eric Bischoff make their way out first stopping on top of the entry way both men wearing nWo T-Shirts, Hollywood Hogan uses his WCW World Championship like a guitar playing it as Bischoff smiles and claps. Scott Hall is the next one to make his way down the entry way wearing a Wolfpac T-Shirt, Hall doesn't look too pleased but he does his "I'm scared" finger taunt at the camera before flicking his toothpick at it. Hall then points to the back like he forget something and Kevin Nash and Syxx also wearing Wolfpac shirts make their way down the isle way, Neither Nash or Syxx look too happy here tonight. The rest of the nWo Big Bubba Rogers, Buff Bagwell, Masahiro Chono, Michael Wallstreet, Scott Norton, Vincent, Ted DiBiase and the newest nWo member The Disciple make their way down the entry way following the five men, They all get in the ring and Eric Bischoff is handed a microphone.

Eric Bischoff- Thank you for the rousing ovation! Now last night it was Superbrawl VII and we all saw what happened, The icon the one and only TRUE ICON in this business Hollywood Hogan defeated Rowdy Roddy Piper to retain the WCW World Championship! Hollywood Hogan dominated Rowdy Roddy Piper all over that ring last night! But last night the nWo was also robbed, The Outsiders the greatest tag team in the history of wrestling got screwed out of the WCW Tag Team Championship by a man who has no heart, No soul, No will win to win, No I'm not talking about Vince McMahon I'm talking about Sting! Sting you turned us down and that's fine, But you don't screw the nWo out of our titles! Sting later tonight I got a huge announcement to make regarding you pal! Just you wait! But now lets give the icon of this business the man who's still the WCW World Champion Hollywood Hogan a chance to talk!

Bischoff hands the microphone over to Hollywood Hogan as the fans boo, Hollywood Hogan puts the WCW World Championship on his shoulder as the crowd chants "Hogan sucks" and "Piper".

Hollywood Hogan- Last night I being the man that I am beat Rowdy Roddy Piper all by myself! I beat Piper from pillar to post and then finished him off with the Hollywood Legdrop to retain the WCW World Championship brother! And then after the match ended I brought an old friend of mine The Disciple to spray paint Piper and Sting had to get involved! Sting if you didn't bring a baseball bat to the ring with you then you know Hollywood and Disciple would have stayed in that ring and kicked your butt! Sting you turned down the nWo and now you will pay brother! But Hollywood Hogan isn't gonna be the one dishing out the pain! Sting let me assure you that you will not go anywhere near Hollywood Hogan anytime soon! You should leave World Championship Wrestling go over to Raw Is Snore because over here on Monday Nitro you will get nowhere near the icon of this business! Hollywood Hogan is the WCW World Champion and Sting, Piper you two will have to live with it! Hollywood has beaten Roddy Piper, The Giant and lets not forget I ran Randy Savage out of WCW! Everyone who's challenged Hollywood has fallen down to the twenty four inch pythons and felt my wrath! But as much as Hollywood likes talking about beating Piper last night, There are two men who lost their gold last night thanks you Sting.... And they are The Outsiders Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.

The crowd boos Hollywood Hogan as he hands the microphone over to Scott Hall, Scott Hall doesn't look very happy as the fans boo. Hall prepares to speak.

Scott Hall- Hey yo....

The fans respond back with a "Hey yo" at Scott Hall.

Scott Hall- Usually I'd give the survey to the crowd but lets for about it for tonight, Last night that clown Sting cost The Outsiders our tag team titles, And in the process Sting injured my neck with the Scorpion Deathdrop. So I am unable to wrestle here tonight, But don't worry because filling in for "The Bad Guy" is Syxx. And tonight I promise that Syxx and Kevin Nash will walk out as the new WCW Tag Team Champions. And Sting if I could get my hands on you I'd make you pay for last night! Luger and Giant you two boys will have the shortest reign of any tag team champions in WCW history you can bet on that boys! The Wolfpac is taking back our titles tonight one way or another! And as far as tonight goes, I'm gonna be in the back watching "Big Sexy" and Syxx take care of business Wolfpac style, Because when you're not running with the Wolfpac you get hunt by it!

Scott Hall hands the microphone over to Kevin Nash who's also not a happy camper here tonight.

Kevin Nash- First of all you people need to shut up and let "Big Sexy" talk, Now last night me and Scott were taking care of business, We had that big goof Giant down and Hall had Flexy Lexy down for the count if The Crow... I mean Sting hadn't come down and given Scott the Scorpion Deathdrop costing us the titles and injuring Hall's neck in the process! Stinger anytime you want a piece of The Outsiders just come down to the ring and face us like a man! No baseball bats no nothing, Just you against us. And Sting I can promise you that you'll get a Wolfpac beating! As far as tonight goes me and Syxx are walking out as the new champions! Luger and Giant hang on to those belts because later on they're going right back to the Wolfpac!

Kevin Nash gives the microphone to Syxx as the fans chant "Syxx sucks" and "1-2-3".

Syxx- Shut your mouths! Each and everyone of you people shut your god damn mouths before I go out there and kick all your asses! I'm a black belt and I'll do it! Last night I had that scum bag Diamond Dallas Page beat but he had to cheat to beat me! Page you didn't beat me and everyone knows it! Last night I taught you a little something about wrestling! I showed everyone that I can out wrestle everyone in this company! Page anytime you wanna fight me bring it on! I'll slap the Buzzkiller on your Wolfpac style! But tonight me and the big man are concerned about gold, Luger and Giant you two won't know what hit you when you get in the ring with us! Tonight we're gonna have new tag team champions! Scott I know you wanted to be out there but don't worry.... Syxx will make you proud pal!

Syxx hands the microphone back over to Eric Bischoff.

Eric Bischoff- Giant, Luger I would not want to be you two tonight! Syxx and Nash are gonna whoop your butts all over this arena! And Sting later on I got news for you!

Four Horsemen unite

Monday Nitro returns from the commercial break with the music of Jeff Jarrett hitting the arena to boos from the fans, Jeff Jarrett walks down to the ring with a concerned look on his face as the crowd chants "Jarrett sucks".

Jeff Jarrett- This goes out to Steve McMichael, Steve last night you gotta understand something... I was trying to help you win the United States Championship not cost you the match. And well it backfired and you lost. But Mongo there's no reason why we can't get along. Jeff Jarrett is going to be the next Horsemen and Steve you're going to have to learn to get along with me. Because Jeff Jarrett is the future of the Four Horsemen, I will be a Horsemen and when I.....

Jeff Jarrett is interrupted by the music of the Four Horsemen to cheers from the crowd, Arn Anderson, Steve McMichael, Chris Benoit and Debra McMichael make their way down to the ring staring down Jeff Jarrett. The Four Horsemen get in the ring as Jeff Jarrett looks a bit scared.

Jeff Jarrett- Good now just like I was saying you.....

Arn Anderson- Shut up boy! Jarrett you come out here week after week telling everyone that you belong in the Four Horsemen, You tell everyone you belong to be apart of wrestlings most elite group! But Jarrett you haven't done a damn thing to be in the Four Horsemen! You my friend last night cost us some gold, Steve McMichael was ready to beat Eddie Guerrero and walk out as the new United States Champion if you hadn't stuck your nose where it didn't belong. Jeff Jarrett you aren't Horsemen material and you have nothing that would help us out, So your question is whether or not we want you in the group? The answer is no! Now I suggest you run along the ring before we give you a Four Horsemen beating!

The fans cheer as The Four Horsemen stares down Jarrett, Debra McMichael tries to reason with Benoit, McMichael and Anderson but they say no.

Jeff Jarrett- I don't know why I'm asking you Arn Anderson, You're not the leader Ric Flair is the leader! You might wanna try to act like the leader but we all know that you Arn Anderson have been playing follow the leader all your career. First to Ole then to Tully and now to Ric Flair. I didn't ask the horse's rear if I could be a Horsemen I asked the leader! And Arn Anderson you are not the leader pal! Not by a long shot!

Arn Anderson- Jarrett I might have a back neck but boy I can whip your ass right now! And if not me well there's two men in this ring that can, Chris Benoit and Steve McMichael! So what's going to stop us from whipping your ass right now?

Jarrett looks concerned as McMichael and Benoit look ready to strike.... But then the theme of "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair hits the arena to a huge ovation from the fans as everyone in the ring get up off of their seats in anticipation, Jarrett and the Four Horsemen look in shock up on the entry way as Ric Flair makes his way down the isle, Flair stops and struts on the entry way and lets out a big "Woooo" as the fans cheer. Flair then walks down the isle letting out another "Woooo" as the fans cheer. Flair gets inside the ring and struts bouncing off the ropes, Flair then takes Arn Anderson's microphone. The fans start chanting "Flair" over and over again.

Ric Flair- Woooo! Now I know that "The Nature Boy" is suppose to be at home nursing his injured shoulder, But I just can't sit at home and watch the Horsemen crumble into pieces.... Arn you have been doing a good job leading the Four Horsemen but Arn kicking Jarrett's ass ain't the way to get through to him. Jarrett first of all, I know you're an amazing athlete and you're an amazing wrestler but pal you don't come out here and tell the Four Horsemen that you're the next Horsemen like Ric Flair has already accepted you into the group pal! Wooooo! And Jarrett you don't insult "The Enforcer" again! WCW is changing, The nWo are taking over but one thing that hasn't changed after all these years is the Four Horsemen baby! Woooo! The Horsemen continue to be the most elite group in all of wrestling! And Jeff Jarrett tonight Ric Flair is officially asking you to join us! What do you say?

Jeff Jarrett- Yes I accept! Woooo! I'll do you proud Ric.... I'll do you proud! I will help restore the winning image back into the Four Horsemen!

Flair's news shocks the rest of the Horsemen, Anderson tries to talk Flair out of it but Flair just pulls away.

Ric Flair- Now hang on Arn, Hang on. Jeff Jarrett you might be a Horsemen but if you screw up once and cost us gold like you did last night, Then you will have no choice but to get a beating Horsemen style wooo! Jarrett we welcome you into the Four Horsemen, Not just me but all of us! Now that we got that out of the way, Arn I'm not one hundred percent yet and the fact of the matter is I'm in no condition to return to WCW right now. I need you to lead the Four Horsemen even Jeff Jarrett to glory! Arn you and I have been best friends for years, Many years and I know I can trust you to lead these men to greatness! It starts tonight, Chris Benoit I wish you all the luck in the world and I know you'll walk out of here as the new Television Champion! Mongo.... I know you're disappointed over your loss last night but you're an amazing wrestler and I promise you that you'll get another shot at the gold! Jarrett.... Tune down that ego of your's and respect the Horsemen and you'll fit in well, This is the new Four Horsemen era in WCW. Flair, Anderson, Benoit, Jarrett and The McMichael's..... Woooooo! And to the nWo you guys will get what's coming sooner or later at the hands of the Four Horsemen! Wooooooooo!

Scott Hall has a challenge in mind

The nWo music hits the arena once again as Monday Nitro returns from the commercial break, Scott Hall makes his way down to the ring not looking too happy at the fans. Scott Hall gets inside the ring and doesn't do his traditional pose instead Hall is handed a microphone from the ringside attendant.

Scott Hall- Now as you people should know I'm not in the best mood, Last night me and Kevin Nash were screwed out of the tag team titles thanks to Sting. Sting lemme make myself clear, Anytime you want some of "The Bad Guy" you don't need to come down from the rafters to get some, Just come down to the ring and be a man. But I'm not too interested in Sting right now.... I'm interested in a man I asked to join the nWo several times in the past and yet he refused. And last night he cheated to beat my friend Syxx. And that is Diamond Dallas Page. DDP you know we asked you time and time again to join the nWo and you turned us down, You then gave me, Nash and Syxx Diamond Cutters. Well I haven't forgotten about that. And I haven't forgotten how you embarrassed the nWo! Page you will have to pay the consequences for making the nWo look bad and you will pay soon! DDP you have to learn that if you're not running with us then you're getting hunt by us! Page I want you to get your trailer park ass down here to this ring so I can kick it all the way back to New Jersey! DDP you don't disrespect the nWo and you sure as hell don't give Scott Hall a Diamond Cutter! Diamond Dallas Page I ain't going anywhere until you come down to this ring and accept my challenge punk!

Scott Hall doesn't wait too long as "Self High Five" hits the arena to a huge ovation from the fans, Diamond Dallas Page makes his way down to the ring wearing a Diamond Cutter T-shirt as Scott Hall looks on, Page gets into the ring and stares down Scott Hall.

Scott Hall- You know Page when we asked you to join us you responded by giving us Diamond Cutters, Well I ain't here to ask you to join us.... But I'm laying down a challenge and.....

DDP snatches the microphone away from Scott Hall as the fans cheer.

Diamond Dallas Page- Hey yo.....

The fans cheer DDP mocking Scott Hall.... Hall looks angry as the crowd chants "DDP".

Diamond Dallas Page- Hall you want to lay down a challenge? For tonight?

Hall says no saying that his neck is hurt.

Diamond Dallas Page- Well Scott I'm sorry to say but DDP and the fans don't give a damn if your neck is hurt or not! DDP drops his microphone down and nails Scott Hall with a right hand! DDP grabs Hall by the head and rams it on the turnbuckle ten times as the fans count along! Page then grabs Scott Hall into position for the Diamond Cutter but Scott Hall rolls out to the floor. Scott Hall taunts Page and heads to the back as the fans boo. Page stands in the ring and tells Hall any time Hall wants a piece of DDP all he has to do is get in the ring!

WCW News for Monday, February 17th 1997

Rick Martel has signed with World Championship Wrestling, Reports says Martel signed a one year deal for around $143,000. Martel has been send down to the pit for awhile to get used to working WCW style since Martel had been working for Extreme Championship Wrestling earlier in the year, Martel signed the contract this past Saturday night and he was at Superbrawl VII. No news has been let out as for when Rick Martel will make his debut.

Many people were disappointed in the newest nWo member The Disciple, The original plan was to have ? debut costing Piper the match. But plans were scrapped due to ? not being able to fly out to San Francisco during the weekend due to suffering a minor knee injury a couple days before the event, Ed Leslie long time Hogan friend was backstage at the show and Hogan suggested that they'd use him... At first many didn't like the idea but Hogan ended up throwing a fit saying he wanted Leslie to interfere during the main event. Leslie is expected to wrestle very little and mostly be at Hollywood Hogan's corner during his matches. (Please note ? is a person but I didn't want to say who)

Ken Shamrock was well received backstage at Superbrawl VII and many liked the way the six men tag team match came out with Shamrock dominating Bagwell, Norton and Rogers. Most people feel that Ken Shamrock will have great success in World Championship Wrestling especially since he turned down the WWF's offer to join the WWF. Shamrock also got a great ovation from the fans when he came out to the ring proving that right now he's over with the WCW fans. Ken Shamrock is going to be on Monday Nitro tonight and he's expected to wrestle at Uncensored.

Arn Anderson returned to WCW last night after being out for weeks, Anderson wasn't really injured but just took a few weeks off to be with his family. Anderson will be managing fellow Four Horsemen member Chris Benoit in a attempt to get Benoit over with the fans, Anderson is expected to wrestle in tag matches with Benoit every once in awhile but for the most part he'll be managing "The Canadian Crippler".

Scott Hall and Kevin Nash are at it again, Hall and Nash had to be talked into losing the tag team titles at Superbrawl VII, Both men also said they would only drop the belts by a screw job ending. The plan was to have Luger and Giant win the belts all along but Hall and Nash didn't want to drop the titles because in their minds they wouldn't be used right in the singles division since they can't go anywhere near the World Championship. Eventually they were talked into dropping the titles but they wanted to lose it by interference so they wouldn't look bad.... Right now many in the back don't really like Hall or Nash due to them refusing to job so many times during their short WCW run. And to make matters even worse they have one of their old WWF friends as a writer in the back.

Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker has announced that he has found religion and is a changed man, Congratulations to him.

WCW has been showing some interest in Ultimate Warrior, Warrior is currently a free agent and it's very unlikely that he'll be going back to the World Wrestling Federation anytime soon due to his disputes with Vince McMahon last year. Warrior hasn't had much contact with WCW but he said if given the right amount of money he could work something out, If Ultimate Warrior does come to WCW it'll be a huge blow to the WWF since they are already losing in star power to WCW.

Taka Michinoku has signed with World Championship Wrestling one week ago, WCW kept the news from leaking out until last night at Superbrawl VII. Taka Michinoku has at the show backstage and had said to have had a good time, Michinoku's contract is for around $145,000 for two years! Michinoku is already expected to debut this month, It isn't known if he'll wrestle on Monday Nitro tonight or next week. Many fans who followed Michinoku's career in Japan have been dreaming for one of the major promotions to sign this talented young man, WCW was the best place for Michinoku to come due to the Cruiserweight division. Many fans are already dreaming of the possible Michinoku/Rey Mysterio Jr. matches or Ultimo Dragon/Taka Michinoku etc.

Thunder was good the matches were exactly like WCW would put on a Thunder, The Flair interview was well done in my view and I'm looking forward for a confrontation between him and Bret Hart. I also liked Scott Hall's interview, You captured Hall well.

Don't know bout McMichael/Goldberg since that feud sucked back then, Souled Out looks like it could be a great event too, Hopefully you have Hogan/Sting at Souled Out and have Scott Hall/Sting at Superbrawl VIII since Hall did win World War 3.

Anyways good work thus far and I'll make sure to check out Monday Nitro.

What the hell Disciple? that un-talented no good bugger, I thought you have fired him already! Other than that it was a pretty good superbrawl, nice to see Sting helping out Luger and Giant and Shamrock helping out the Steiners,as usual I sucked a predictions,but I do hope you are not going to huge things with Disciple and just keep him to Lower Midcard/Opener status.

EDIT:On What TP said,yes it is historically true that Disciple joined the nWo [after failing to do so as The Booty Man]in this period but in your diary I dont see any reason why you need that bugger,he is as useless as Mongo [and believe me, I HATED those two even I was a mark then]-I just hope he only shows his face at Saturday Nights,let alone wrestle.

The Disciple was brought in because I had someone else lined up for it, But then I thought I'd wait a bit before debuting him. Plus it would make him look bad right after debuting running away from Sting. I seriously doubt he'll get any kind of push.

This is really the first event I've read in this diary and I can't say it was altogether thrilling. I won't comment on the booking because I didn't read how the characters have been built up and whatnot, but Dusty Rhodes on commentary sounds absolutely nothing like Dusty Rhodes and that really made it hard to read. The choice of the Disciple is realistic, but pointless and I'm sure a lot of readers were disappointed by that. I'll prolly check in periodically, but eh, wasn't what I expected.

Yeah I won't be putting Dusty on PPV commentary anymore, Hopefully next time you check it out you'll like alot better than Superbrawl VII

The Disciple? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Great from a storyline standpoint, but it's the fucking disciple. Ah well, as long as he just stands next to Hollywood and doesn't wrestle I'll be fine. And you got some real bad match quality for the main event dude, but I assume you were expecting that.

Besides the Disciple, I give your show and your writing a big thumbs up.

Yeah I knew the main event would bomb but oh well, Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for the replies, A news report should be up sometime later in the day

Tony Schiavone- Eddie Guerrero retains the title thanks to some accidental help from Jeff Jarrett, Steve McMichael is not happy.

Dusty Rhodes- He has no reason to be happy Schiavone, Jeff Jarrett cost him the WCW United States Championship here tonight. And I don't think it was all that "accidental" if you know what I mean.

Tony Schiavone- I don't think Jarrett would cost McMichael the match on purpose, Everything seemed fine between Jarrett and McMichael in the last couple weeks.

Dusty Rhodes- It seemed fine but you can't trust Jarrett! Jeff Jarrett is trying to get into the Four Horsemen and he said himself that McMichael doesn't belong in the Four Horsemen.

Tony Schiavone- WCW could be dead and buried if eighter The Giant or Lex Luger go the nWo, But can you really believe Hall and Nash?

WCW Superbrawl VII opens up with a video package showing highlights of the feud between Rowdy Roddy Piper and Hollywood Hogan. It shows footage of their match from Starrcade '96 where Rowdy Roddy Piper beat Hollywood Hogan using the Sleeper Hold. It then shows Rowdy Roddy Piper's return and it shows footage from last Monday night on Monday Nitro. It shows Piper putting the fake Piper into the sleeper hold while Hollywood Hogan watched with fear in his eyes. Tonight it's the battle of icons and the nWo is banned from ringside!

Once the video package ends we're taken to the Cow Palace where pyros shoot off through out the arena, And we get a shot of the live crowd on hand! The attendance number is shown on the screen which is 15229 people on hand for WCW Superbrawl VII! We get another live shot of the crowd and we see several signs including "Raw Is Snore", "Nash = ratings" and a "nWo 4 life" signs all in the crowd. Most fans are wearing nWo T-Shirts while some are wearing T-Shirts of their favorite WCW superstars like Sting, Lex Luger, The Giant and the Four Horsemen. The cameras show the entry way for tonight's event and we get a shot of the ring which has a "Superbrawl VII" logo on it. Then we're taken to the announce booth where our announcers for tonight are Tony Schiavone and Dusty Rhodes.

Tony Schiavone- Welcome to WCW Superbrawl VII! We are live here in beautiful San Francisco, California and what a night this one is gonna be! I'm Tony Schiavone and alongside me is "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes! Fans it's the night everyone has been waiting for, We got Rowdy Roddy Piper versus Hollywood Hogan tonight for the WCW World Championship in a no disqualification match where the nWo is barred from ringside!

Dusty Rhodes- Tony what a war that one is gonna be, It's gonna be a down and dirty fight between the icons in this business. Tonight I say we're gonna have a new World Champion. Hollywood Hogan will not be able to beat Rowdy Piper. I can't wait to see the main event. What a fight that's gonna be from The Cow Palace.

Tony Schiavone- Tonight we also got The Outsiders defending the WCW Tag Team Championship against The Giant and Lex Luger. Hall and Nash have claimed that Luger and Giant can't trust each other and that tonight there'd be a new member of the nWo.

Dusty Rhodes- If Hall and Nash are right then what will happen? Who's this new nWo member they're talking about? Luger and Giant are at a huge disadvantage tonight. They don't trust each other and I think that's gonna be their down fall. Lets hope I'm wrong.

Tony Schiavone- Could we see Lex Luger joining the nWo? Could The Giant go back to the New World Order? Who is this new member of the nWo?

Dusty Rhodes- We'll find out tonight Schiavone. What a huge event this is going to be.
