Nice backstory, NBT, and I'm sure this diary will be as good as your past diaries have been, but shouldn't Pillman be a heel, as one third of the current Horsemen, be a heel? Just an observation.

Anyway, you have a great starting point, and if it's anything like your other projects, I'll be checking it out.

EDIT: I noticed you had David Taylor with no nickname. I believe he was "Squire" David Taylor at this point, although I may be wrong.

Thrilla · October 21, 2004

You are quite right on both counts BD. I could of sworn I changed Pillman's status before I posted this as I was planning on starting before Pillman joined Arn, but anyway who cares. I couldn't remember Taylor's nickname, but once you said it I knew it was right.

This is a useless piece of information... but I hail from Australia, and we have an Aussie Rules footballer who's actual name is Jeff Farmer, with his nickname being "The Wizard".

Useless info I know, but you have him on the roster, so I'll definately be reading! Push him to the moon!

The Nitro fireball explodes onto our screens as the TNT logo flashes up with the metallic letters spelling out 'Monday Nitro' above it, we pan into the sold out arena, the camera floating over the heads of the Ohio crowd who cheer wildly as the opening theme of the show plays throughout the arena. The camera switches to a view of our three commentators for the evening, Tony Schiavone, sat in the middle of the three men wearing a black suit and tie with a white shirt, Eric Bischoff to Schiavone's left, also in a suit and tie, his hair permed and a smarmy smile on his face and Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan on the right in a blue shirt who as the camera focuses in on him seems to be staring off into the crowd, before turning to the camera and sticking his nose up at the fans.

Tony Schiavone: Wrestling fans welcome to Monday Night Nitro live from the sold out Hara Arena here in Dayton, Ohio for what will be two hours of the best live wrestling action you can see anywhere on a Monday night

Eric Bischoff: Of the best live action? Tony we're the only live wrestling action on a Monday night

Tony Schiavone: Right you are, fans I'm Tony Schiavone and alongside me tonight, WCW President Eric Bischoff and 'The Brain' himself, Bobby Heenan

Eric Bischoff: Good evening fans

Bobby Heenan: What's up ham 'n' eggers

Tony Schiavone: And fans we have an action packed night in store for you, World Tag Team Champions Harlem are here and will be defending their titles against the team of Kendall Windham and Steve Armstrong, Television Champion Johnny B Badd will take on Dick Slater in another title match, Chris Benoit, 'The Canadian Crippler' will take on Ricky Santana and Eric, get this, Sting will take on 'The Enforcer', and member of the Four Horsemen, Arn Anderson

Bobby Heenan: Wow!

Eric Bischoff: Its another huge Nitro Tony, just look at that line up, two, not one but TWO, WCW Title matches, two of the best technical wrestlers in the world today locking horns and of course Sting and Arn Anderson, you don't get this sort of action at any federation on the air

Bobby Heenan: And I know you mentioned it but lets backtrack, Sting against Arn Anderson that isn't a match proclaiming to be a main event when it isn't... Its Sting against Arn Anderson, the history of those two men, the feud that has brewed between them over the years, tonight another chapter is to be written right here in Dayton, Ohio

Eric Bischoff: Indeed, LIVE in front of a SELL-OUT crowd, two other things you don't see on any other federation's television shows airing this evening

Tony Schiavone: Eric and The Brain said it best, tonight is going to be a night like no other, fans around the world have been waiting in anticipation for tonight's show, Sting and Arn Anderson with the Horsemen, Ric Flair and Brian Pillman barred from ringside, Mexican highflyer Rey Mysterio Jnr taking on German sensation 'Wunderkid' Alex... Wait a minute fans, I'm told we need to go backstage right now, it would appear Nitro has already gotten off to a hectic start

Luger Isn't Wasting Any Time Tonight!

We cut backstage to find Lex Luger stomping away on the prone body of 'Macho Man' Randy Savage. Luger continues to kick and stomp away on Savage's ribcage before picking up the Savage and ramming him head first into the wall of the corridor. Luger takes off his white wifebeater and begins to strangle Savage with it, Savage's flail about, the red and yellow tassles on his body length wrestling gear swing about with every heeve that Luger gives on the choking implement. Luger then releases the choke and pushes Savage down to the concrete, he kicks 'The Macho One' in the ribs three more times for good measure before picking up his top and walking away down the corridor, presumably towards his locker room. (89%)

Bobby Heenan: Whoa! Savage looks like that mess you get when you drop ketchup and mustard at the time, there is red and yellow all over the floor back there! Luger is showing his mean streak tonight

Tony Schiavone: What sort of a man though Brain attacks another man from behind like that?

Bobby Heenan: A winner

Eric Bischoff: What?

Bobby Heenan: Well would you call Randy Savage a winner when he's just been beaten to a pulp back there?

Eric Bischoff: No

Bobby Heenan: Then Luger is the winner and you know I'm beginning to like the guy, he carries on like this and I'd even consider managing again

Tony Schiavone: I'm sure he'll be thrilled to hear that Brain, but you've got wonder why Lex attacked Randy Savage

Bobby Heenan: A great strategist never gives away all his plans

Tony Schiavone: You could be right Brain, anyway fans we're going to have to move on here to the first match of the evening and what a treat we have in store as Rey Mysterio Junior is going to take on Alex Wright, two high class athletes getting ready to take each other right here on Monday Nitro

Eric Bischoff: Its only here on Nitro that you can see wrestlers of this calibre from all around the world in action Brain

Bobby Heenan: That's because we have a magnifying glass in front of the camera lens so the ham 'n' eggers can actually see these guys

Rey Mysterio Jnr Vs. 'Wunderkid' Alex Wright

In ring we can already see 'Wunderkid' Alex Wright leaning against the turnbuckle in the back right hand corner of the ring, Wright is in his light green wrestling trunks and black boots, the crowd barely respond to his insults and jibes. Referee Randy Anderson walks over and checks Wright over for international objects as Rey Mysterio Jnr's music hits and he walks to the ring. The WCW fans slightly respond to the sight of Rey making his way to the ring, the small masked man jumps up onto the apron and then slingshots into the ring to a small reaction from the fans at ringside, a small graphic flashes up both men's names as Anderson checks over Mysterio for weapons. The bell rings and the first match is underway.

Mysterio and Wright quickly circle each other before locking up, Wright easily takes control of his smaller opponent and applies a Side Headlock, Mysterio manages to push him off into the ropes but gets Shoulderblocked down by the German. Wright comes off of the ropes and jumps over the body of Mysterio, Mysterio gets back to his feet and manages to catch Wright with a Hurracanrana and send him flying across the ring. The crowd seem to wake up after the big move as Rey quickly picks up Wright and whips into the far turnbuckle, Rey runs in after Wright and runs up his chest, backflipping away and landing on his feet taunting Wright, Wright charges out and misses a Clothesline, as he turns around Mysterio Dropkicks the knee to send Wright to the mat, Mysterio drops a Knee and goes for a cover, 1... 2.. Kickout from Wright.

Tony Schiavone: A fast paced opening to this first match here on Nitro, this young Mysterio is really looking to make an impact here tonight

Bobby Heenan: This guy is like a pinball, one second he's that side of the ring, then he's on the other!

Both men are quickly back to their feet, Wright takes over from a tie up and scores with a quick Suplex, he stomps on Mysterio once before picking him and whipping him across the ring, Wright looks for Backdrop but Mysterio manages to flip over and land on his feet, as Wright turns around Mysterio plants him with a Dropkick that sends the German flying from the ring. Mysterio runs across the ring as Wright is getting to his feet, Mysterio jumps over the top rope with ease and hits a Plancha that sends both men crashing into the safety barrier.

Eric Bischoff: Only right here on Nitro Tony, only here will you see moves like that

Bobby Heenan: Unbelievable!

Mysterio is the first man to his feet, the crowd at ringside really getting into the action as Mysterio climbs onto the apron and raises his hands above his head to some cheers. Wright slowly gets to his feet and Mysterio launches himself from the apron, Mysterio looks for a Hurracanrana but Wright catches him in midair and plants him with a Powerbomb on the outside of the ring. Wright rolls into the ring with a smile on his face, the crowd boo slightly as Randy Anderson begins to count Mysterio out. The count gets to five and Wright walks over to check on Mysterio and shout some abuse at him, Randy Anderson pushes Wright back away from the ropes breaking the count, so Wright slides out of the ring and goes out to get Mysterio himself. The German picks the masked wrestler up and chops him across the chest, he looks to whip Mysterio into the steel post of the ring but Mysterio manages to reverse it and send Wright crashing head first into the post!

Tony Schiavone: Mysterio managing to avoid disaster that time, Wright however was not so lucky

Wright stumbles around holding his head only to be thrown back into the ring by Mysterio, Mysterio climbs up onto the apron and then slingshots into the ring dropping a Leg across the throat of Alex Wright, Mysterio makes a cover, 1... 2... Kickout from Wright. Mysterio is the first man up and he climbs to the second rope and waits for Wright to get to his feet, as he does Mysterio launches off with a Dropkick that sends his opponent back down to the mat, Mysterio points to the top rope and receives cheers from the Ohio fans, he climbs to the top rope facing away from the ring and looks for a Moonsault, WRIGHT ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY and Mysterio crashes into the canvas, the impact of the landing causes Mysterio to bounce back up onto his feet however, Wright pushes Mysterio from behind into the turnbuckle sternum first, Mysterio stumbles out backwards and Wright nails the GERMAN SUPLEX, Randy Anderson makes the count, 1.... 2.... Mysterio just rolls off of his shoulders!

Bobby Heenan: Back and forth, back and forth these two guys are really putting it on the line tonight

Tony Schiavone: And fans this is only the first match, still to come Chris Benoit against Ricky Santana, Harlem Heat defending their Tag Team Titles, Johnny B Badd is in action... LEX LUGER as we already know is in the building will we see any more of him here tonight in Dayton, Ohio? And of course the main event, 'The Enforcer' Arn Anderson, Double A himself against The Man Known as STING, yes fans, THE STINGER is in action tonight is one night you do not want to miss... We have to take a break!

**COMMERCIAL BREAK**

Tony Schiavone: Welcome back fans, during the break the action continued at an explosive pace with both men getting near falls following two big impact moves, Alex Wright catching Mysterio in midair and hitting a powerful Side Walk Slam for a two count and Rey Mysterio almost picking up the win following a Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissors

Bobby Heenan: I'm out of breath just calling this one Schiavone, these are two high calibre athletes

Eric Bischoff: That's why they're here Brain, this is WCW where the big boys play, the most talented men in the world come here, why? Because everyone knows if you want to prove yourself you have to do it in WCW

We rejoin the action with Wright in control of Mysterio with an Abdominal Stretch, Mysterio however manages to wriggle his small frame out of the prediciment and spins behind his German opponent, Mysterio kicks the back of Wright's knee sending him down to the canvas on his knees, Mysterio runs off the ropes on the opposite side and then Dropkicks Wright in the face, Mysterio makes the cover, 1... 2... Wright gets his foot on the ropes. Both men get back to their feet, Mysterio however is the more lively of the two and scores with a quick kick to the thigh of Wright and follows that up by Irish Whipping him into the corner, Mysterio follows in with a Back-first Splash that causes Wright to stumble of of the corner and to the centre of the ring, Mysterio is quickly up to the top rope and hits a Flying Crossbody Block on Wright, cover, 1... 2... Kickout from Wright

Tony Schiavone: Mysterio is beginning to hit some big moves now

Bobby Heenan: Did you see the way he flew through the air then? If most Mexicans could fly like that they wouldn't have to swim over our borders!

Mysterio is first up once again, but his attempted right hand is blocked by Wright who then follows up with a big knee to the stomach of Mysterio. Wright performs a Backbreaker with ease on his smaller opponent, but then has to shake his knee out a little afterwards, Wright picks Mysterio up again and clubs him with a big Forearm across the back, he whips Mysterio into the ropes and looks for a Clothesline, Mysterio ducks underneath and comes off of the farside ropes, Wright manages to catch Mysterio with a boot to the stomach to double his opponent over, Wright picks Mysterio up and hits a Doctorbomb in the middle of the ring, he makes the cover, 1... 2... Kickout, Wright hits the mat in frustration and picks Mysterio up again, he looks for another Doctorbomb, but Mysterio counters into a Hurracanrana, cover, 1.... 2.... 3!!!

Winner: Rey Mysterio Jnr (63%/47%/80%)

Bobby Heenan: Whew! What a way to start of the show, I need a sit down after that one

Tony Schiavone: You are sitting down Brain

Bobby Heenan: I know that, do I look like an idiot to you?

Tony Schiavone: **Ignoring Brain** Rey Mysterio there picking up the victory on a night where Sting takes on Arn Anderson in what will surely be a main event that'll go down in history

Eric Bischoff: And the big deciding factor is the fact that members of The Horsemen, Ric Flair and Brian Pillman, are barred from ringside. A decision that I myself had authorise.

Tony Schiavone: Eric Bischoff, WCW President there. Why exactly did you bar The Horsemen from ringside Eric?

Eric Bischoff: Lets face it Tony, we all know what The Horsemen are like, a singles match between Double A and The Stinger would soon turn into a three on one and the fans don't want to see that, they want to see Sting get his hands on Arn Anderson, after what happened to him at Halloween Havoc Sting deserves retribution and tonight I'm giving him the level playing field he needs to get it

Bobby Heenan: But come on, Sting loves being the outnumbered guy, he's done it all his life... It gives him an excuse when he loses

Tony Schiavone: Oh come on Brain!

Bobby Heenan: It's true, why else would he always fight against The Horsemen?

Tony Schiavone: Some people fight for what is right Brain

Bobby Heenan: Some people jump off buildings, why doesn't Sting go and do that?

Tony Schiavone: Fans, I'm being told that backstage we have Mean Gene Okerlund with The Horsemen, over to you Gene!

Bobby Heenan: Finally, set 'em straight Ric!

Updated Horsemen, Same Old Sting

We cut backstage to find Mean Gene Okerlund standing next to 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair, 'Double A' Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman, the group collectively known as The Horsemen. They stand in front of silver mesh background that has a WCW Nitro sign hanging off it at a crooked angle, Flair and Pillman are dressed in street clothes, while Arn is in his wrestling trunks with a Horsemen top on, Mean Gene turns to Ric Flair to start the interview.

Mean Gene Okerlund: Ric Flair, last month at Halloween Hav...

Ric Flair: **Grabbing the microphone** Whoooooooooooooooo, Mean Gene you don't need to fill the people in back home about what happened at Halloween Havoc because lets face it **Flair swings his arm around at the other two men standing beside him** anyone who is anyone already knows what happened at Halloween Havoc. **All three men chuckle to themselves** WHAT HAPPENED?!? WHAT HAPPENED?!? WHAT'S CAUSIN' ALL THIS?!? Whoooooooooooo, The Horsemen, Gene, The Horsemen are causing all this, The Horsemen, Double A, Brian and The Nature Boy, they're what's causing all this! The reformation of the greatest wrestling group of all time, that is what is causin' all this, the new and improved, revamped and restyled, the rockin' and rollin', back with a vengeance Horsemen, that's whats causin' all this! But I'll tell you what's not causin anything Gene, that two-bit hack Sting, he thinks he can come out here and tell The Horsemen what to do? He thinks he can run around and get Bischoff to ban us from ringside? I got news for you Stinger, three on one, two on one or one on one you'll never beat a Horsemen! 'Cause Sting you never see it comin, you didn't even realise what was goin' on at Havoc, you're still the same old stupid kid that I used to kick around in the old days and you still haven't got what it takes to be 'The Man'. I mean Sting, I like you, I respect you, but you're just not good enough to make an impression on The Horsemen, so go around and get Bischoff to ban Brian and me from ringside, Arn is still gonna take care of business the way only a Horsemen can

Arn Anderson: **Taking the microphone from Flair** That's right, you see a lot of people don't seem to understand what The Horsemen are all about, by now Sting I thought you would of learned but it looks like I'll have to tell you again, and Bischoff you might as well listen up as well, being a Horsemen isn't something you take off at night and put on in the morning, being a Horsemen isn't something you can will yourself to be, you're either a Horsemen or your not, it is that simple. Being a Horsemen means you are the best in professional wrestling, it means that you are better than everyone else and going out and proving it night after night, day after day. Sting facing you tonight alone will be a pleasure because once and for all in front of all your fans we can prove that you're never going to be good enough to match any of The Horsemen.

Brian Pillman: **Is passed the microphone** Haha, tonight marks the beginning of a new era for The Horsemen, after tonight we'll be riding off into the sunset leaving nothing but destruction, carnage and Sting's broken and battered body in our wake. WCW you had better wake up real fast, real soon, because The Horsemen are real and we're here to stay!

The three men place their hands on top of one another in a show of solidarity before leaving Mean Gene Okerlund standing hold the microphone by himself. (100%)

Bobby Heenan: You hear that Schiavone? This is The Horsemen's night

Tony Schiavone: We'll have to wait and see Brain

Bobby Heenan: You doubt The Horsemen?

Tony Schiavone: No but I believe in Sting

Bobby Heenan: Belief schmelif! When Sting's lying facing down at the end of the night, then you'll believe in The Horsemen

Tony Schiavone: There is still a long way to go before then fans, we're going to take a commercial break but don't go away, still to come tonight Harlem Heat defending the WCW Tag Team Titles, Johnny B Badd is in action against Dick Slater, Chris Benoit takes on Ricky Santana and of course THE STINGER takes on ARN ANDERSON of The Horsemen, don't go away

**COMMERCIAL BREAK**

Tony Schiavone: Welcome back fans, during the break both Jeff Farmer and Ice Train made their way out to the ring for what should be an interesting match up

Eric Bischoff: Both of these guys are looking to make a name for themselves here in WCW and tonight they get that opportunity, that's what WCW is about pitting the best against the best and letting guys make a name for themselves

Tony Schiavone: This match of course fans was announced first on the WCW Hotline manned by our very own Mike Tenay, for all the hot, hot news on WCW call 1-900-909-9900. Kids get your parents permission before making the call.

Bobby Heenan: Or make the call anyway and then blame the kid next door

Tony Schiavone: Lets go to ringside

Ice Train Vs. Jeff Farmer

We move over to ringside to find the huge and muscular African-American, Ice Train locking up with the smaller Jeff Farmer. Train easily pushes Farmer to the mat with authority, causing Farmer to grab the back of his head in pain, Train taunts the crowd to a minimal reaction. Train picks up Farmer and whips him into the ropes before delivering a big time Shoulderblock that sends Farmer back to the mat. Train clubs Farmer over the back with a big Forearm before whipping him into the corner, Train charges in but Farmer manages to move out of the way, he hits Train with a few Forearms before bouncing off of the ropes and hitting a Flying Shoulderblock to take the big man off of his feet. Farmer quickly covers but only gets one.

Tony Schiavone: A fairly even start to this match here, Ice Train however looks to have the size and strength advantage

Bobby Heenan: Looks to have the size advantage? That guy goes to Liberty Island and blocks out the Statue

Both men are back to their feet and Farmer once again tries to take Train down with a flying move, this time looking for a Crossbody, Train catches him easily in midair and slams him down, Train stomps away on the fallen body of Farmer

Tony Schiavone: Is that? That's LEX LUGER!?!

Lex Luger slides into the ring with a black baseball bat in his hand, Ice Train turns around and Luger swings for the fences right into Train's ribcage doubling him over, Luger then smashes the bat over and over into Train's back sending him down to the canvas, Luger then picks up Jeff Farmer and Gorilla Presses him with ease, Luger walks around the ring with Farmer above his head before throwing Farmer over the top rope to the floor! Ice Train slowly climbs to his feet, Luger picks up the bat and hits Ice Train with the end of the bat right in the trachea! Train holds his throat stumbling around the ring, Luger delivers the RUNNING FOREARM to Train sending him through the ropes to the outside leaving Luger alone in the ring

No Contest (40%/33%/48%)

Tony Schiavone: Fans it would appear that this one is over prematurely thanks to the actions of Lex Luger

Bobby Heenan: Did you see that? Luger has completely annihilated those two

Tony Schiavone: But why? Jeff Farmer, Ice Train and earlier tonight 'The Macho Man' Randy Savage, why is Luger attacking people like this?

Lex Luger calls for a microphone while walking around the ring staring at the fallen bodies of Jeff Farmer and Ice Train, a member of the stage crew passes Luger a microphone and Luger then stands in the middle of the ring

Luger Puts WCW On Notice

Lex Luger: You see this? YOU SEE THIS? This is what is going to happen to anyone that stands in my way from now on. Last week Eric Bischoff said that whoever won the Sixty Man Battle Royale at World War Three would become the new World Champion... Well right here and now you are looking at the first entrant for the Sixty Man Battle Royale and I don't care who it is from hasbeens like Randy Savage to nobodies like these two losers here if you get in my way you will be taken care of. World War Three is going to see Lex Luger walk away with the gold and everyone in WCW is on notice because I don't care who you are nobody, NOBODY, is stopping me from winning that title! (77%)

Luger throws the microphone down and climbs out of the ring, he picks up the baseball bat and gives Ice Train and Jeff Farmer a few more shots to the ribs while they are still down to the boos and jeers of the fans lining the aisleway before raising the ballbat in the air and then walking back to the locker room.

Bobby Heenan: There you go Schiavone, you wanted to know why Luger was doing all this and now you do... And we now know who to blame for it all

Tony Schiavone: Who?

Bobby Heenan: Bischoff

Eric Bischoff: WHAT!?! I haven't had anything to do with Lex Luger

Bobby Heenan: No, but you made that match at World War Three for the World Title and now Luger's out to get it by any means necessary and that guy doesn't take kindly to not getting what he wants

Tony Schiavone: He'll still have to go through fifty-nine other men though Brain if he wants to win that title

Bobby Heenan: Luger is one of those men that could do that though, he's tough, he's muscular and he's got a mean streak a mile wide. He could easily be one of the early favourites for that title

Tony Schiavone: So Lex Luger is the first man in the World War Three Battle Royale for the vacant WCW World Title and fans we'll keep you informed to as and when other WCW superstars enter the match

Eric Bischoff: And it may not just be WCW wrestlers getting involved, I've had calls from wrestlers in other companies who are just chomping at the bit for a shot at the real World's Title

**COMMERCIAL BREAK**

Tony Schiavone: Welcome back fans, hope you are enjoying tonights broadcast, on a night where we have already seen Lex Luger announce his intentions of becoming the next WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Rey Mysterio defeating Alex Wright and The Horsemen proclaiming that tonight is going to be their night

Eric Bischoff: But its not over yet, there are still five more matches on the card including two WCW Title matches, Johnny B Badd taking on Dick Slater and Harlem Heat defending against Kendall Windham and Steve Armstrong

Bobby Heenan: Its a night of big matches and lets not forget the biggest of them all Arn Anderson taking on Sting, even I can't wait for Sting to get beaten from pillar to post in that one!

Eric Bischoff: Only in WCW Brain will you see action like this live every Monday night

Tony Schiavone: And up next The Blue Bloods, 'Lord' Steven Regal and 'Earl' Bobby Eaton will be taking on the Lightning Express, Tim Horner and Brad Armstrong, lets go to ringside.

The Blue Bloods Vs. The Lightning Express

Tim Horner and Brad Armstrong are already in the ring as 'Lord' Steven Regal, 'Earl' Bobby Eaton and 'Squire' David Taylor make their way out into the arena to a chorus of boos and jeers from the Ohio crowd. Regal leads the way down to ringside, his head high in the air practically looking down on each and everyone of the fans in attendance. Regal and Eaton are dressed in red wrestling trunks and royal blue wrestling boots while Taylor is in a black suit with a white shirt, he also carries a cane and has a monocle over one eye. Regal climbs into the ring after wiping his feet on the apron and orders the referee to move Armstrong and Horner to the farside of the ring as Bobby Eaton makes his way into the ring.

Tony Schiavone: Not exactly the most gracious of residents we have here in WCW

Bobby Heenan: Not the most gracious? Tony these three men are more gracious and well to do than you could ever dream of, its in their breeding! Just look at Steven Regal, he's a Lord back in England you know

Bobby Eaton walks to the middle of the ring as Regal makes his way out to the apron, Armstrong and Horner slap hands before Horner makes his way towards Eaton as the opening bell sounds. Eaton and Horner lock up, Eaton eases his way into control of a Hammerlock, which is reversed by Horner into one of his own, Eaton escapes that by Snapmereing Horner over into a sitting position, Eaton kicks Horner hard in the base of the back and then pulls him up to his feet, Eaton nails three consecutive European Uppercuts and then Suplexs Horner with ease, he makes a cover, 1... 2.. Kickout from Horner. Eaton pulls Horner up from the mat and whips him into the Blue Blood corner, Eaton tags in Regal who pulls Horner from the corner and appies an Armwringer, Eaton quickly climbs the ropes and comes off the second turnbuckle with a Double Axehandle across the unprotected shoulder, Regal applies an Armbar to the fallen Horner who struggles on the mat.

Eric Bischoff: You've got to admit it, these Brits have great tag team chemistry. They pick a body part and then go to work on it, that's why they're here in WCW, because they are the best at what they do

Bobby Heenan: Right, Regal is a great mat wrestler, Bobby Eaton is a technical wizard and Taylor... Well he looks good in a monocle

Horner struggles to get his free arm under the ropes causing Regal to break the hold, the damage seemingly done to Horner's arm already. Regal Hammerlocks the arm of Horner once again and then proceeds to slam him down on it, Regal makes a cover, 1... 2.. Kickout, Regal keeps on top of Horner and pins him again, 1... 2... Kickout, once again Regal tries for the pin, 1... 2.. Kickout. Regal pulls Horner up to a vertical base and drives his knees repeatedly into the stomach of his opponent before putting him down to the mat with a big knee to the face. Regal tags out and brings in Eaton once again who immediately goes for a cover, 1... 2.. Kickout. Eaton picks up Horner, he hooks the injured arm and then delivers a High Angle Back Suplex that sends Horner down at a dangerous angle with his injured arm taking the majority of the impact, Eaton is quickly up, he walks over to one of the free corners, he walks in towards Horner and delivers a big Kneedrop to the shoulder, Eaton makes a cover, 1... 2... Kickout.

Eaton lies clutching his knee as Horner struggles to make it to his corner... Horner makes the tag to Brad Armstrong.

Tony Schiavone: Eaton made a mistake there and he could be in trouble now

Eric Bischoff: Brad Armstrong with a big chance here, can he take it?

Armstrong gets into the ring just as Eaton is getting to his feet, Armstrong knocks him down with a Clothesline and then another as Eaton gets back up, Regal is knocked off of the apron by Armstrong who then goes back to back to Eaton, Armstrong delivers a Side Suplex and then an Elbow Drop as Regal climbs back onto the apron to complain to the referee, Armstrong turns around right into a cane shot from David Taylor, who snuck into the ring behind the referee's back! Regal returns to his corner as Taylor gets out of the ring, Eaton picks up Armstrong and scores with a Bulldog, dropping Armstrong down right in the middle of the ring, he makes the cover, 1... 2... Kickout from Armstrong.

Tony Schiavone: Even by cheating they couldn't keep Brad Armstrong down then

Bobby Heenan: That was cheating, back in England they do that sort of thing all the time and nobody raises an eyelid. A kid steps outta line, BAM, cane shot to the head

Tony Schiavone: Brain, that was cheating and you know it

Bobby Heenan: Hey all I'm saying is, if we invite these guys over from England we've gotta expect them to play by their rules and if that means Brad Armstrong gets hit in the head with a cane, then I say let them hit Brad Armstrong with a cane

Tony Schiavone: Well nevertheless fans it didn't get a three count but we do have to take a commercial break, fans do not go away

Bobby Heenan: Yeah or we'll hit you with a cane

**COMMERCIAL BREAK**

Tony Schiavone: And we're back fans, live from Dayton, Ohio and... Brain, what are you doing?

Bobby Heenan: I'm hitting that guy from Illonis who changed channels during the commercial with a cane, what does it look like?

Tony Schiavone: Anyway, fans we are back, during the break Bobby Eaton and Steven Regal kept the advantage gained from David Taylor's illegal cane shot, keeping Brad Armstrong grounded, lets head back to the action

We rejoin the match with Regal picking up Armstrong and whipping him into the ropes, Regal looks for a Backbody Drop but Armstrong manages to catch him with a Forearm across the back and a quick Jawbreaker to put Regal on his back, Armstrong manages to make it across and tag in his partner, Tim Horner, who comes into the ring all fired up, Regal sees him coming however and manages to Drop Toe Hold him down to the mat, Regal picks up Horner and knees him hard in the stomach, doubling him over, Regal double underhooks Horner and delivers Butterfly Suplex with a bridge, the referee makes the cover, 1... 2... 3

Kensuke Sasaki - United States Champion

We cut to a quick video for reigning United States Champion, Kensuke Sasaki, we see Sasaki holding the US Title up in the air with his second Bull Nakano standing next to him clapping. Some very stereotypical Japanese music plays as we see Sasaki hitting his patented Northern Lights Bomb on numerous opponents before the music comes to an end with a loud symbol crash and the words 'Kensuke Sasaki' fade onto the screen.

Tony Schiavone: Well the fans are clearly behind the champion in this match between two wrestlers from very different eras. Slater, the veteran with Parker at his side is as dangerous as ever but Badd is quick on his feet and lethal with his hands, this should be a fascinating contest Brain

Bobby Heenan: For you maybe, for me, I already know Slater is gonna punk out this Badd fella and walk away with the gold here tonight

Parker climbs down from the apron as Slater pushes Badd down to the mat, he makes a cover, 1... 2... Kickout from Badd.

Tony Schiavone: That certainly is a possibility Brain, fans don't forget still to come Chris Benoit and Ricky Santana, Harlem Heat in action and Arn Anderson against THE STINGER

Slater pulls back on the submission hold causing Johnny B Badd to scream out in pain, the referee gets into position to ask Badd about giving up as Slater reaches out to the ropes for extra leverage causing both Badd to scream out in pain and the fans at ringside to shout at the referee, the referee moves around to look but Slater has already moved his arm away, once again Slater holds onto the rope behind him once the referee is cannot see his cheating but Badd still won't give it up, the referee moves around his time and catches Slater with his arm on the ropes, the referee kicks Slater's arm away allowing Badd to Hiptoss Slater over to the mat.

Sting picks up Arn and delivers a quick Suplex, he looks for the Scorpion Deathlock to the cheers of the crowd but Arn manages to fight him off and push Sting into the turnbuckle, Arn quickly gets up and hits Sting in the back with a quick Forearm before ramming his head into the top turnbuckle, Arn turns Sting around and chops him across the chest, once again it has no effect on Sting who grabs Arn around the neck and throws him into the corner. Sting climbs the ropes and begins to punch away on Arn's head with the crowd counting alongside, Sting stops at nine punches and 'wooooo's to the crowd before hitting the big tenth punch, Sting drops down and grabs Arn before he falls to the mat, Sting whips Arn across the ring and follows in with the STINGER SPLASH, Arn falls forward onto the mat and Sting signals to the crowd... He applies the SCORPION DEATHLOCK in the middle of the ring to huge cheers

Tony Schiavone: Scorpion Deathlock in the middle of the ring, Arn Anderson ahs no way to go, he is going to have to submit here Brain

Bobby Heenan: Fight it Arn, fight it!

Anderson cries out in pain as Sting pulls back harder on the move, the crowd cheer in anticipation of Anderson tapping... Suddenly a blonde haired man jumps over the crowd barrier and slides into the ring, he kicks Sting straight in the ribs forcing him to break the hold, the referee turns around and calls for a disqualification before the blonde haired man grabs the referee by the neck and throws him over the top rope

Tony Schiavone: Wait a minute, is that...

Bobby Heenan: It's CURT HENNIG!

Hennig picks up Sting and hits him hard across the face before delivering a HENNIG-PLEX in the middle of the ring, Arn Anderson gets to his feet and slaps Hennig on the back with a big smile on his face. Anderson picks up Sting and whips him to the ropes, SPINEBUSTER! Hennig and Anderson stand over the fallen Sting with broad smiles on their faces, they flash the Horsemen hand sign to the camera as Ric Flair and Brian Pillman slide into the ring, all four men put the boots to the fallen Sting

Tony Schiavone: I don't believe it fans, Curt Hennig is here in WCW and it would appear that he had aligned himself with The Horsemen

Eric Bischoff: This can't be happening

Bobby Heenan: Do you believe now Schiavone? Do you see what everyone is up against? Look in the ring and see the top four athletes in the business today, The Four Horsemen! Do you believe now? Do you?

Winner: Sting by Disqualification (83%/90%/70%)

Noted and changed.

Thanks for the replies, the Benoit/Santana match should be added somewhere down the line.

I liked Nitro. The matches were a little long for my taste, but I liked it nonetheless. Looking forward to future shows.

how do you decide the Title rankings is it random or what? I'm looking to do that in my game and i would like to know how you decide them...

Pretty much a split between their standing in the game, where they were in real life before I started the diary and who I want to push. Nothing overly complicated or anything.

Do the draft so whenever one guy is drafted to be brought up to WCW, the development territory gets to draft a guy from WCW.
