World Championship Wrestling 2001

[IDOL]

The year 2001 will for now, and always be remembered as one of the most controversial years in Sports Entertainment. As the temperature began to rise, and winter's snow melted away to spring it was clear to see that things just weren't the same in the Industry. As winter progressed it was becoming very clear that ECW no longer existed as an entity in Sports Entertainment. January 2001's Guilty as Charged PPV, a show that saw Rhino unify the ECW World and Television Titles was the last show the Philadelphia based promotion aired, and by Springtime some of their biggest stars including Rhino, Justin Credible, and Tajiri were already active in the WWE.

Even more bad news came during the year when it was found out the rumor was in fact true, Fusient Media's plans to purchase World Championship Wrestling had fallen through. WCW, a promotion once on top of the wrestling world thanks to a combination of a seemingly endless supply of Ted Turner's money, Big named superstars, and a marvelously worked New World Order Angle had fallen drastically since it's last claimed a top spot in the ratings. The nWo, an angle that helped put WCW on the mat would also aid in it's death. For a long time the promotion had been criticized for not elevating younger talent and creating new stars. By the time 2000 came Eric Bischoff and the WCW realized their mistakes and formed a "New Blood" angle that was supposed to see new stars of WCW take over, and rid WCW of the evil veterans that had held them down for so long. But the New Blood were portrayed as heels, and the angle bombed badly. It was too little too late and WCW continued to suffer, both financially and fan interest wise. WCW Nitro on March 26, 2001 was expected to be just any other night, but it surely wouldn't be.

WCW Monday Nitro

Night of Champions, March 26, 2001

From the Boardwalk Beach Resort Panama City, Florida

The show started off in the weirdest of ways, Vince McMahon standing in  front of the camera with the Raw is War logo behind them. Wait don't turn  your television you are actually watching Nitro on TNT. McMahon gives a  memorable speech saying that he bought out the competition and that the  fate of WCW was now in HIS hands.

WCW World Heavyweight Title Match

Booker T Vs Scott Steiner©

Booker bounces off the ropes and levels Steiner with an Axe kick. He gets  Steiner up to his feet and whips him into the ropes, and pancakes the  Champion. Booker spineroonies back up to his feet and drops Steiner with the  Harlem sidekick. Steiner refuses to stay down and Booker goes for the Book  End, Steiner blocks and delivers an awesome Northern lights suplex on the  United States Champion for a two count. Steiner looks to put the US Champ  away and goes for a powerbomb, Booker reverses and hits the Book End! Nick  Patrick makes the count and Booker T has beaten his nemesis to unify the  WCW United States and World Heavyweight Titles. Booker celebrated on the  ramp a proud champion, displaying the emotion that he's known for.

"We're not going anywhere! You can't hold us in your hands and predict our  lives, we're WCW! We've bled and we've sweat, when were you there  McMahon? You weren't!" Ric Flair was on a roll in an emotional in ring  segment, and the Nature Boy challenged Sting to a match later in the  evening.

Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio defeated Shannon Moore & Evan Karagias as  well as Kaz Hyashi and Yang to earn a shot at Cruiserweight Tag Team  Champions Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo in an action packed match.

Following that match WCW Cruiserweight Champion "Suga" Shane Helms  came out to an awesome entrance with a cool video and the "Sugar babies"  by his side. Helms defeated Chavo Guerrero jr in a rematch from Greed to  retain his title.

An angle is shown from the last weeks Nitro between Lance Storm & Mike  Awesome and Chuck Palumbo & Sean O' Haire. despite Awesome and Storm's  claims for a title win, the Champion ended up defending their titles after an  O'Haire Sean-ton Bomb.

Vince McMahon is shown and he says that he's fired Jeff Jarrett since he's  still a little sour over the way Jarrett left the WWE, and he makes out with  Trish Stratus.

Shawn Stasiak defeated Bam Bam Bigelow in a minute 40 in a match that left  fans with a bad taste in their mouths.

Rey Mysterio jr and Billy Kidman were out next, time for their shots at the  nine day old Cruiserweight Tag Team Titles. Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo put up  a fight, but Mysterio and Kidman get the win, and the Championships.

Vince McMahon is shown on Raw saying it was time for him to make his  statement. William Regal asks him if "he's sure he wants to do this, after all  WCW is a filthy place." Nitro commentator Tony Shiavone proclaims "Oh come  on we've had to do some pretty crazy things Steven Regal, including putting  your ass over on TV!"

Main Event Contest

Rivals Final Showdown

Ric Flair Vs Sting

Flair shoulder blocks Sting to the mat, bounces off the ropes and hurdles the  Stinger. Sting jumps back to his feet as Flair holds the ropes to avoid  contact. Flair begs off prompting a smile from Sting, Flair smiles back and  does his strut. Flair lulls Sting in and kicks him above the belt, Sting shakes it  off and press sla,s the Nature Boy. Sting goes on to win the match with the  Scorpion Deathlock and the two arch rivals embrace emotionally in the center  of the ring.

WCW aired a video package highlighting the men who have held the World  Heavyweight title. Often forgotten Champions such as Ron "Faarooq"  Simmons and Vader are shown as well as Flair, Thesz and Dory Funk jr. A  thrilling tribute that lasted only a minute.

Vince McMahon came on the Jumbo screen and Nitro and Raw aired a  simulcast. McMahon asked fans what should happen to WCW, and who should  he hire. Booker T, Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell and others were mentioned.  McMahon then said that WCW was going to be a trophy and sit forever on his  mantel, and he'd enjoy it when he looks into guys like Booker T's faces and  tell them "YOU'RE FIRED!!"

Shane McMahon didn't like that too much, and unexpectedly walked out live  into the arena on Nitro. McMahon dropped a major bombshell when he  announced that he had bought WCW out from under his father, and under his  leadership they'd once again kick his father's ass! Nitro closed to a very  uneasy feeling.

Six days later at Wrestlemania, and with his mother Linda's help Shane McMahon defeated his father in the first ever Father-Son street match; A handful of WCW superstars were in attendance. WCW looked as if it would be relaunched successfully as a seperate entity from the WEE and under Shane McMahon's guidance it looked as if it would succeed.

Now in reality we all know where it went from here. For some reason, WCW never got another Television deal. Instead of WCW being ran as an entirely different promotion, a handful of guys that were involved with it "invaded the WWF/E" and the angle flopped horribly.

But what if? What if Shane McMahon was given the reigns of the promotion, and allowed a Television deal? That is what this venture is about, WCW after the night of champions.

Many of WCW's Old guard, the Hogans, Savages and Pipers were no longer under contract, and stars like Sting, Goldberg, Kevin Nash and Shane Douglas decided not to accept a buyout from AOL Time Warner, and chose to stay innactive in the business, but WCW still had a decent roster, it would be a challenge for it to succeed but a challenge Shane McMahon had to be ready to accept.

The first plan of action for the McMahon was securing a National television Deal. Since McMahon was officially a part of the WWE, and the fact that Viacom had exclusive rights to their programming McMahon hoped to secure a Saturday Night Television deal with TNN, putting WCW in the position of being a rebel organization. within the first few weeks McMahon inked out deals with Playstation 2, Electronic Arts, Snickers and Acclaim. Next McMahon mapped out plans for a developmental territory for his new company, a small promotion named Level One Wrestling. Former WCW undercarders Air Paris, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Reno and the Wall were sent to the territory. WCW was becomming organized, and would soon begin to pick up steam.

During March the WWE's Ohio Valley Wrestling released Ron Waterman, Seven, Nick Dinsmore and Rob Conway from their developmental contracts, and Shane McMahon scooped them up for level one wrestling.

As WCW was my favourite in Late 2000/2001, I can't wait to see where you go from here. I was super excited when Shane bought WCW - so hopefully you can make this work!

[IDOL]

When the first of April rolled around Shane McMahon recieved some very good news. TNN, the television network that airs the WWE's Raw and HeAt offered the company a Late Evening slot on Saturday night for a show with the clause that if the show did well in the rankings, it would be promoted to a prime time slot. Now wCw had what they wanted, a National Television deal with a well known network. wCw UNleashed! would air it's very first episode in just a few days.

WCW UNleashed! 4/7/01

live from the MGM Grand Arena: Las Vegas, Nevada

the music of Limp Bizkit's Break stuff begins to play, and wCw comes on the air live with an exclusive video package. Highlights of previous wCw footage, including the infamous Night of Champions is played. Booker T, Diamond Dallas Page and Buff Bagwell get alot of hype in it. Other wCw stars such as Rey Mysterio, Kidman, Lance Storm, and Jeff Jarrett are shown. Mike Awesome is seen delivering an Awesome Bomb to Diamond Dallas Page, and Shane Helms' Vertibreaker on Chavo Guerrero Jr. brings an explosion on the screen along with the brand new wCw UNleashed logo.

The scene then cuts live into the arena where an awesome set is on display, featuring a futuristic Entrance Ramp, and revamped Jumbo Tron. Pyro errupts on stage, and the camera pans arounf the arena showing hundreds of fans here to support wCw here tonight. the cameras then cut to Scott Hudson and Arn Anderson at ringside.

Scott Hudson: "Folks welcome to the most exciting hour on Cable Television today! I'm Scott Hudson along with my partner the "Enforcer" Arn Anderson, and we welcome you to the very first edition of wCw's UNleashed! And man, can you hear these screaming fans Arn, phew... we are in for one incredible night!"

Arn Anderson: "Of course, and what better a way to start off the very first show from the new wCw than with a word from the new owner himself, Shane McMahon?"

Arn anderson's words give prompt for the notorious "ca-ching!" and "Here comes the Money!" Shane McMahon's music plays on the Public address system, and it isn't long before the man himself is standing at the top of the ramp. The crowd gives their support for the new wCw owner, and Shane delivers his trademark shuffle before heading to the ring. Once Shane is in the squared circle he looks around and takes in the entire crowd.

Shane McMahon:"Wow! Are you guys ready for a show or what!?"

McMahon recieves the cheap pop, and smiles agreeingly.

Shane McMahon: "Well we're here to give it to ya! But first theres a little suntin' suntin' Shane O' Mac needs to get off his chest. You see, at Night of Champion, when I swept wCw out from under my father, I made a promise. Yeah, I made a promise when I said that the WCW would rise again, and kick my father's ass like it did before!"

The crowd likes what they are hearing, and McMahon isn't through.

Shane McMahon: "Well...... it all starts here tonight! You see tonight is about new beginnings. firstly a new beginning for myself as I run wCw and take it to that next level, and a new beginning for the company as a whole. Alot of things are going to happen here in the Double-ya See-dubbya, and I for one can't wait to see them happen. Now, at Wrestlemania I defeated my father just as I said I would, so maybe that gave the boys in the back up in New York a little awakening. Maybe that woke them up."

McMahon paces back and fourth before continuing

Shane McMahon: "In cased your confused let me clear things up. I'm making a declaration right now to the boys my father has right now, if you feel that you aren't getting the opprotunities that you deserve, my door is open. You see shane McMahon's wCw is a land of opprotunity, one in which that the gutsy and the brave; those who sieze chance by the throat will be rewarded. It's plain and simple; if you wanna make an impact, then step right up!"

Scott Hudson: "Oh my, McMahon just laid out the gauntlet to the superstars of both the WWF and wCw, if you want to make a name for yourself, then step up to the plate!"

Shane McMahon: "Now enough of that, onto tonight. I'm sure you're all ready to get the action underway, so let me inform you of what's in store for tonight. Tonight we have to rematches from Night of Champions, as team Canada's Lance Storm and Mike Awesome team up to challenge Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo for the world Tag Team titles!"

"And, these two seemed like they didn't settle the score last time, so the Cruiserweight champion Shane Helms will step into the ring in a non title contest! But how about the Main Event tonight? Yeah..... Tonight in this very ring you will see the WCW World Heavyweight and United States Champion Booker T team up with Diamond Dallas Page to take on the chosen One Jeff Jarrett and Buff Bagwell!"

the crowd seems to like what they here as they show their approval vocally.

Shane McMahon: "I'll leave with this, remember boys, wCw is all about opprotunity."

McMahon's music plays once again and the owner of World Championship wrestling leaves the ring and Unleashed goes to a commercial break.(77)

Venis steps up to the plate, UNleashed preview

Last Saturday night the new wCw was ushered in with a bang. The first ever wCw UNleashed was a huge success, and Shane McMahon was more than happy with the ratings the show recieved.

The event that had everyone talking was undoubtedly Val Venis' impromptu, and impactful arrival in World Championship Wrestling. Earlier in the show wCw owner Shane McMahon made a declaration to WWF and wCw Superstars alike that wCw was a land of opprotunity, and that if they weren't happy where they were, then grab opprotunity by the throat. Venis did just that when he slid into the ring during the Main Event, and nailed his Money shot maneuver on wCw Champion Booker T, allowing Buff Bagwell to secure the victory for himself and Jeff Jarrett. What's in store this week for both the wCw Champion, and the Big Valbowski?

Last week after losing a match to the World Tag Team Champions Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire, it appears that Team Canada member Mike Awesome is down with the group. He and Lance Storm had a heated confrontation backstage, and Awesome ended up tossing his Team Canada shirt at the group's leader. Tensions are high between these two.

This week on UNleashed expect to see the high flying action and excitement that the wCw's Cruiserweight Division is known for when Cruiserweight Champion Sugar shane Helms teams up with Lash Leroux to take on Chavo Guerrero and Jamie Noble. Plus the World Cruiserweight Tag Team Titles will be on the line as Rey Mysterio jr and Billy Kidman take on former Champions Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo. All this and more this week on another exciting edition of wcw UNleashed!

WCW UNleashed! 4/14/01

live from the Ocean Center: Daytona Beach, FL

the music of Limp Bizkit's Break stuff begins to play, and wCw comes on the air live with an exclusive video package. Highlights of previous wCw footage, including the infamous Night of Champions is played. Booker T, Diamond Dallas Page and Buff Bagwell get alot of hype in it. Other wCw stars such as Rey Mysterio, Kidman, Lance Storm, and Jeff Jarrett are shown. Mike Awesome is seen delivering an Awesome Bomb to Diamond Dallas Page, as well as Val Venis's Money Shot on booker T, and Shane Helms' Vertibreaker on Chavo Guerrero Jr. brings an explosion on the screen along with the brand new wCw UNleashed logo.

The scene then cuts live into the arena where the UNleashed set is on display, Pyro errupts on stage, and the camera pans around the arena showing hundreds of fans here to support wCw here tonight. the cameras then cuts to the shows commentary team, Scott Hudson and Arn Anderson at ringside.

Scott Hudson: "Folks get prepared, because you're in for one exciting hour of Sports Entertainment, Hello everyone Scott Hudson here along with Arn Anderson welcoming you to wCw UNleashed!"

Before Arn Andrerson can even add his two cents, the familiar sound of "Buff....Daddy" is heard over the Public Address, and the man who scored a pinfall victory over the World and United States Champion, Booker T last week comes out to the disproval of the fans in the audience.

Arn Anderson: "Oh boy, you'd better get the boots on 'cause Buff Bagwell is making his way to the ring, and it's going to get thick Scott."

Scott Hudson: "After securing the pinfall over Booker T last week, you know Buff Bagwell is going to be gloating about this one."

Bagwell gets into the ring and poses in the corner turnbuckle, then hops off. Buff Daddy takes off his airbrushed top hat, and silver shades as ring announcer David Penzer hands him the microphone.

Buff Bagwell: "WHAT'S UP DAYTONAAHHH!!!??"

"Boo" what would once have garnered the former fan favorite a cheap pop works in reverse now and Buff Bagwell seems to love it.

Buff Bagwell: "Oh come on ya'll... I said WHAT's UP DAYTONAAAAAAHHHH!!!?"

Even louder from the audience now, and Bagwell seems satisfied.

Buff Bagwell: "Oh come on, no love for Buff Daddy? Ha ha, well that's cool 'cause Beff Daddy ain't got no love (points all around) for any of you!"

Bagwell's smile is now erased and a serious expression comes over his tanned face.

Buff Bagwell: "Now in case ya'll didn't see me in action last week let me refresh you're memory. You see the way I see it, last week here in the center of this here ring, Buff Daddy pinned Booker T's shoulders down to the mat for the 1, 2, 3! Now, now let me set all of ya'll straight on something. Here's a guy that holds both the world and US straps, and your's truly defeats him hands down."

Scott Hudson: "The way I see it Buff had a little help in the process, Arn."

Buff Bagwell: "Now Buff Daddy's not a greedy man, so Shane McMahon listen up! I'm not asking ya to give me a shot at the World Title, I'm asking you this; take that United States Title off of the waist of Booker T, and walk down to this ring and strap it around my waist, because after last week I deserve it! I'm Buff, I'm the stuff, and that United States Championship belongs to me! Come on Shane, walk your ass into this ring and hand me that United States Title."

Bagwell rests the mic at his side and waits to see if shane McMahon is going to take him up on this offer. Not to long after and "Here comes the Money!" is heard marking the entrance of the wCw owner himself, Shane McMahon. Suprisingly enough, McMahon has the United States title in his left hand!

Arn Anderson: "Do you see what's in his hand Scott?"

Scott Hudson: "That's the wCw United States Title, please tell me that shane McMahon isn't going to meet Bagwell's demands here!?"

McMahon gets into the ring, and is given a microphone. Bagwell is applauding the wCw owner and has quite the smile on his face.

Shane McMahon: "You know Buff, you're right. You did pin Booker T's shoulders to the mat last week, and because of that you probably do deserve this United States Title."

The fans boo, and Bagwell agrees with McMahon.

Shane McMahon: "But...... I'm not going to hand you this title."

Bagwells smile vanishes and he shouts "what do you mean!?"

Shane McMahon: "Well it's simple Buff, you see wCw rule books clearly state that the World Champion can not hold another singles title at the same time they are reigning as World Champion. Therefor Booker T has relinquished the United States Title which is why I hold it in my hand right now. But Buff, you do make a pretty fair claim. You did beat Booker T last week, therefor you will recieve a shot at the United states Title."

Buff Bagwell: "What do you mean I get a shot? I pinned Booker, that title should be mine!"

Shane McMahon: "Well Buff you beat booker T, therefor you should have no problem with your opponents when you fight for this title."

Buff Bagwell: "Opponents!?"

Shane McMahon: "Oh, I didn't tell you that you wouldn't be recieving your title in a singles match? Silly me, how about I clear things up for you Buff. You see you will recieve the title shot, and You'll recieve it on May 06 at wCw Slamboree in a little match I'm calling "Shane McMahon's Sensational Six Pack Challenge." You see Buff it will be Buff Bagwell teaming with Shawn Stasiak and Chris Kanyon to take on Ernest the Cat Miller, Hugh Morrus and Crowbar where the first person to secure pinfall or submission will be the new wCw United States Champion. But Buff, (Shane pats him on the back) you shouldn't have anything to be worried about. After all you did pin Booker T."

McMahon smiles and his music plays once again, and UNleashed plays over the speakers, Bagwell isn't happy as the show fades to commercial. (82%)

Shane Helms & Lash Leroux vs Chavo Guerrero Jr & Jamie Noble

The Cruiserweight Champion Shane Helms once again recieves quite a pop thanks in part to his awesome entrance music and routine.

Another great show dude, already booking towards the Pay Per View. Booker vs. Val should be exciting, as the Shane Six Pac. Assuming STorm and Awesome will be on there as well, everything is going great so far

[DigificWriter]

Again you deliver a great show. It's interesting to see you use the Val Venis gimmick with Morley being a heel (cause I never would have thought about doing it). I also like the fact that you're using Bagwell in singles competition again, and hope he gets the US title. I'm also interested in seeing where you go with the CW, CW Tag Team, and Lance Storm/Mike Awesome storylines.

[Benji]

Very interesting diary, shows serious promise, I look forward to the show getting a better slot.

[Phreak]

Yet another amazing show! Glad to see you are going through with the Storm/Awesome feud, and not just using the inital segment as an excuse to get Awesome on his own, away from Team Canada. Also, the Six Pack Challenge looks like it might be interesting.

One more thing before i forget..in the middle of the Val speach you had a one liner all by itself "Val Sucks! Val Sucks! and Veins likes it." it was just like that witout any real description, I understand it was supposed to the crowd chanting or whatever, but yea, i read it and found it quite amusing. Keep up the good work..

Lance Storm: "Ha, ha! Mike maybe I kicked you a little too hard in the head last week, there's no way you're putting me in the hospital here tonight."

Mike Awesome: "Who said anything about the hospital, or tonight? Lance man, you've got me all wrong, you see I just came from Shane McMahon's office, and I'm out here to inform you that at Slamboree on May sixth it will be you and me one on one in an AMBULANCE MATCH!"

"WHAT!" Storm can't believe his ears, one of the more brutal matches made by WCW in 2000 will return at Slamboree!
