Backstory
In 1996 WCW was down, But not out.... The interest in wrestling was low especially for WCW. WCW had a horrible year in 1995..... Hulk Hogan had all the power and he brought his friends to WCW with him. That's right good old Brutus Beefcake, Big Bossman, Honky Tonk Man, Jim Duggan and others came to World Championship Wrestling.... WCW lost Steve Austin who's becoming one of the top stars in the WWF because of Hogan and pals. 1995 featured many horrid things like The Renegade, Hogan versus Vader which shot Vader's credibility as a main eventer down the toilet, The Dungeon Of Doom and many other things. The WCW and WWF were both getting lower ratings as the week went by with each promotion barely getting ahead of each other.... But in 1996 the WCW came out on top when they got Kevin Nash and Scott Hall fresh off the WWF.... Hall and Nash would join up with Hulk Hogan who turned heel at Bash At The Beach 96 to form the New World Order..... WCW was finally on top but how long could it last? Well you'll have to wait and see.... Eric Bischoff brought me into WCW as a writer in December as a favor for Kevin Nash. Nash and I worked at the WWF while I was a writer for WWF magazine..... Nash and I became friends in the WWF and in late 1996 I got released from the WWF. Nash gave me a call and said he could get me a job.... I thought it would be working for WCW magazine but boy was I surprised when Nash told me I would help write and book shows! The year is 1997 World Championship Wrestling is finally on top, Can I help it stay on top?
