wCw The Rebirth.............

[Guest matt0408]

I had been out of work for 3 years and living in a dump of a bed sit in the suburb’s of New City, money had just about dried up and I had no prospects of any kind of career…. Not with the criminal record I had received within the last 2 years…… You see I had it all once upon a time……….. 3 years ago I was the head booker for ECW(Extreme Championship Wrestling) ………. I had a steady job, which was very well paid, a wife, 2 kids and I was living the dream by being involved in the wrestling circle…… it was all I ever wanted to do from a kid and from a very young age it was evident that I didn’t have the skills or the physique to become a full time wrestler so I decided in a career behind the scenes booking the event and coming up with original and unique storylines…….. How life can change in 3 years………..

When ECW Folded in 2001, my services were no longer required………. From the day I left ECW my life and everyone involved in it slowly started to fade away, firstly I couldn’t get another job within the wrestling circuit and was not prepared to do anything different………….. after 6 months of looking and trying my wife finally left me after the bailiffs came round for the second time and virtually wipe out every single possession I owned!……… after she left I had a breakdown and she got a restraining order against me from seeing my own children…….. my life went into a downward spiral from there, the next 2 years were the lowest 2 years of my life……. Drugs became the only way I could survive from day to day and to feed this drug habit I had to turn to a life of crime, muggings and burglaries were the only means to get the money to feed my habit……… I was so lucky to survive that period until one telephone call from an old friend changed my life, the call was from Paul Heyman my one time boss in ECW, he requested a meeting with me about a potential job, suddenly I saw a path out of my current life style so I agreed to meet him………..

Paul: Its Great to see you, how have you been

Me: Not so good Paul, you see when ECW folded my life went into a downward spiral, I lost everything…..wife………kids ………..everything……..

Paul: You haven’t had it easy then have you, why didn’t you try some of the promotions I recommended to you?

Me: No where and I mean no where was recruiting, you saw the stuff I did at ECW……

Paul: Some of the best………

Me: But still no one wanted or needed me

Paul: Well you luck maybe just about to change…….

Me: Oh?

Paul: I have a friend……. Who has managed to get hold of the rights to WCW!

Me: You what?……..

Paul: That’s right he has all the rights to WCW and he wants to reopen and one day go head to head with the WWE! He is going to bankroll the whole thing…… $15 million dollars is the amount of dollars he is prepared to put into the company and he has appointed me general manager of the whole federations and has allowed me to appoint all the back room staff……….

Me: Who is he?

Paul: All will be revealed in good time………. I cant say to much now……. But can I count you in? Head booker………. Just like the old days in the ECW…………. Only this time more talent and bigger budgets!

Me: Head booker? wCw? 15 million dollars? Paul……….

Paul: Yeh……….

Me: Where do I sign?

Over the next few weeks things began to come together, Paul got onto some contacts in the TV business and managed to book us two shows, the First one was Monday Nitro! Which was to appear on TNT in the late evening slot, the second show was Thunder which will appear on TBS in the Early evening……. From there it all began…………….

(OOC: This is my first attempt at a diary, the main storyline at the moment is who the man or women is who is banking the re birth of wCw, I will put the roster and all details up later and hopefully the first Monday Nitro! Card and Event will be done to)

[Dingle]

Ted Turner

Also, good luck on this and make it into its own company.

[Lost Apostle]

Ehh...It's not bad, I guess. Backstory isn't ground-breaking or anything, but I've read much worse. However, the one thing I'm interested in finding out is not who this mystery backer is, but HOW this person managed to obtain the rights to WCW. I guess the funds could end up coming from a McMahon, but that'd be pretty melodramatic.

Anyways, good luck with your first show.

Nitro Road Agents Notes

Sting had pick up a broken hand and will be out of action for up to a month, meaning he will miss Souled Out and the World Heavyweight title tournament! (All i needed was one of my maineventers to go out injured, thank god its only a month)

Scott Steiner was reported to be working too stiff by the Sandman, These 2 will be one on one on Thunder, could also explain Stings injury.

Chris Chetti is losing overness being of his weak gimmick, a new gimmick is in order!

(OOC: Ok peoples that my first event, let me know what you think, Thunder card will be up soon will a few more angles hopefully but its hard to fit them in when you only have 6 slots. Will be sorting out tag teams as well in a minute and will list them)

TOO MANY PERIODS... ... ... ... ... ...

Sorry, but that MAJORLY botherd me.

Few things: Be very careful about what colors you choose, as too much of any one color (especially red in the case of your first show) can make it difficult to read. I would almost suggest just making the heading (the "vs" part) whatever color you decide, and leave the rest in plain text. I would also suggest spacing things out a bit more, as it looks a little smooshed together right now.

I don't think you did a very good job of capturing the character of Paul Heyman in his interview. Nor was I impressed with your announcers. Work on those interviews, as if they fall flat, it becomes extremely difficult to draw people into the diary. You really need to get characters across in those interviews. I know you've only had the one so far, but it didn't inspire me with hope for the rest of the diary. Also, I have a question: you had Heyman go on and on about how "First of all I am the general manager of wCw, I am solely in charge of the running of this place…… I will make all the decision…… there is just one person to answer to and that’s Paul Heyman! " only to turn right around and contradict that by saying that there IS someone higher up than him. So he's NOT solely in charge and the only person to answer to, is he? Just a continuity error that bothered me.

Your matches are ok, but again, like I noted before... ... ... ... ... there's too many periods in between like, almost EVERY sentence. And if it wasn't one of those, it was an exclamation point. Try to vary the punctuation some there bud. Sorry, that's a little thing, but it bothered me. Make sure you double check your grammar and spelling too, as there were a few errors that I caught. That can be a turn-off of a diary also.

Overall, I'm not too encouraged by the start of this one. Just seems to be a lot of little errors and slightly "off" occurences. And unfortunately, the writing itself isn't good enough (or even very good period) to be able to overcome those kinds of things. Work on some of the things I mentioned, and I think it'll help some.

[Guest matt0408]

cheers for the feedback bud, ill will bear it all in mind with the next event

Justin plays to the fans for a bit allowing Neidhart back to his feet. He starts to fight back with a barrage of left and right but another eye gouge by Justin re gains the advantage.

The Styles Report….

Hi im Joey Styles, and welcome to the first Styles report. Every week I will bring you the latest news from backstage at wCw and comment of some of the issues from the past week. What a week it has been in wCw this week, the first week of re opening and already plenty of action to keep everyone hooked.

Who is the mystery investor?

Ok as you all well know wCw is only back because of the money and business mind of one man or woman. There have been many names circulated with the ‘Mystery Investor’ but to be honest I think people are plucking names out of hats, for example I heard a rumour the other day that Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart was the man behind it all, sure he has a motive to put WWE and McMahon out of business but as far as I know he has no where near the funds to carry out the deal. Also another interesting point is how the rights to wCw ended up in the hands of the investor, Vince McMahon would not part with the rights for any sort of cash no matter how much, which leads me to think it could have been an inside job in the WWE, maybe a wrestler of a member of staff backstage……… stay tuned for more news on this situation on Nitro this Monday.

Steiner & Vader

Over the past week in wCw we have seen an alliance form between Scott Steiner and Vader, Both men have vowed to help each other to the Main Event at Souled Out: Night Of Champions and we saw Vader keep his end of the deal this week on Thunder, with Sandman seemingly certain of victory over Steiner, Vader came down to the ring and assaulted the Sandman with a chair, a vicious attack which left Sandman needing 8 stitches in the head and he is very doubtful to show up on Nitro this week. Will these to achieve their goal and make it to Souled Out in the Main Event stay tuned and find out this Monday on Nitro when Vader takes on Ernest ‘The Cat’ Miller in the qualifying round for the semi final in the World Championship Tournament.

Cruiserweight Division

Paul Heyman is really trying to push the wCw Cruiserweight division and hopes to achieve the reputation it once had, in the Day and Mysterio and Kidman. The Cruiserweight title is a great example of this with 8 Cruiserweight going for one title we are now down to the final two, EZ Money and Johnny Storm. These two will face off on Nitro to decide the first Cruiserweight Champion. But also expect to see a lot more of high flying Cruiserweight action over the coming weeks and at Souled Out.

Sting

I can bring you an update on Sting, for those of you who don’t know Sting injured his hand on Monday Nitro and had x rays straight after the show revealing a break in two places, while he was willing to fight on and compete in the World Title Tournament the medics backstage thought the injury may get worst and escalate into something a lot worst. We expect him back at the start of next month, this was a big blow to Sting as many had hoped he would be in the Main Event and Souled Out & be crowned the New World Champion. He is now out of the World Title Tournament but will be replace.

Don’t miss Nitro and Thunder this week, some huge matches taking place!

Joey Styles

[Stone Cold]

Gotta say each update you do gets better. Keep listening to people's advice and you'll become good. But for a first diary attemp this is very good.

[Guest matt0408]

cheers, i have a few thing planned but always look on critism as a good thing

[Guest matt0408]

Joey Styles: The Cruiserweight Division is really heating up Ed, all the men trying to impress early here……..

Ed Ferrera: I love cruiserweight action, and im picking EZ Money to become the first Cruiserweight champion.

Joey Styles: He gotta get pass Johnny Storm first, both men beating three other guys to get into the title match tonight and neither can be underestimated.

Paul Heyman’s music hits, he strolls down to the ring looking rather pleased with himself. He walks up the steps and enters the ring under the top rope. He grabs a microphone

Joey Styles: Guess were going to hear from Paul Heyman

Ed Ferrera: That’s the General Manger Paul Heyman, now quiet I want to hear what he’s got to say..

Paul Heyman: We are only one week into the new era of the wCw, and already we have seen some great action. This company is already a huge improvement on the days of Bischoff and Russo. Under my leadership I will turn this company into a world wide organisation known by all, we will one day become the biggest wrestling federation in the world! But none of this could be possible without the vision on great expense of one man, the man who bought wCw back from the dead. Lets face it how many of you people in attendance tonight actually thought you would see the day that the wCw was once again opened for business? Hell I never thought I would see the day…….

Ed Ferrera: Me neither….

………. But here we are, up and running again and people all around the wrestling scene are asking. Who has the money and the means to re open the wCw and vow to take down the WWE? That takes a man with real guts and a wallet to match! And I can announce that at Souled Out I will personally reveal to the whole world who is bank rolling the wCw rebirth. Souled Out will be an event which will be talked about for may years to come. And the wrestling world will be taken onto another level and left in utter shock.

He leaves the ring with everyone in the audience buzzing about the fact that the bankroller will finally be revealed at Souled Out on the 23rd January!

Joey Styles: That’s huge, who is it?

Ed Ferrera: Some one which a lot of money and vision, appointing Heyman general Manager was masterful!

Commercial Break

Frank Shamrock Vs Big Vito (World Championship Tournament)

Joey Styles: Welcome back, next up Frank Shamrock Vs Big Vito, the winner facing Vader on Monday Nitro next week.

Ed Ferrera: Is Shamrock 100%? After the attack from Dan Severn last week, he surely can’t be at full strength and Big Vito will take full advantage tonight.

Both men tie up in the ring, Big Vito targeting Shamrock right leg, working away at it with several kicks, he grabs the leg and slams it into the mat. Vito whips Shamrock into the corner, and grabs his leg and puts it on the second rope. He then nails his leg with 3 huge kicks to the groin area of Shamrock, Shamrock falls from the turnbuckle clutching his leg, riding around in pain on the mat, Big Vito plays to the crowd for a while before going on the offensive again, irish whip followed by a clothelines Vito target the leg again, twisting it from a standing position, Shamrock gets into the rope but Vito holds on for the four count. The ref breaks the hold, Vito turns and argue with the ref, allowing Shamrock to get back to his feet, as Vito turns round, Shamrock locks on an armbar takedown, Vito is in the middle of the ring, he breaks the hold with a rake to the eyes, and Vito stays down holding his arm, Vito is first back to his feet, still holding his arm.

Winner: Frank Shamrock (Via Submission)

75, 66, 85

Frank Shamrock debuts his new gimmick, it got a positive response

Joey Styles: He lost the match, why did he have to do that. Shamrock has a huge match on Nitro against Vader……

Ed Ferrera: Judging by that attack Shamrock wont make it next Monday…… Vito making a huge impression tonight.

Joey Styles: He’s a coward, attacking Shamrock from behind because he lost the dam match.

Returning the favour

The camera go backstage into the locker room, Vader is seen warming up for his match tonight. Scott Steiner walks in and the two exchange a hand shake…….

Steiner: Last week was great, stage one is complete and im on my way to Nitro to face New Jack…….

Vader: New Jack? The punk who I beat down last week? Do you think he will make it? He isn’t here tonight, probably lied up in some hospital bed somewhere.

Steiner: I saw it and it was great, Steiner Vs New Jack on next week on Nitro.

Vader: If he makes it, after the beating I gave him, ill be surprised if he’ll make it to Souled Out!

Steiner: Let’s focus on the night in hand, tonight you face Ernest ‘The Cat’ Miller…..

Vader: and after what I did for you last week, its time for you to return the favour, its down to you to make sure I go onto Nitro next week to face Frank Shamrock

Steiner: Don’t worry I have something in mid for ‘The Cat’, you don’t need to worry to much about Shamrock, after what happened to him tonight, im not sure if either of us will have an opponent next week, maybe a buy into the final.

Vader: Even if they do show up, they wont be putting up much of a fight, the plan is almost complete……. But I want you to know, when we do make it to Souled Out I will not hold back or go easy on you. I will walk out as the new World Champion

Steiner: You go easy on me? Listen ‘Big Poppa Pump’ isn’t scared of nobody, and I will be the man walking out of Souled Out as the new Champion, you will be leaving on a stretcher!

Vader holds back from hitting Steiner, both men get in each others face……..

Steiner: Hey not here, not now…….. theres a time and a place and it isn’t here, the next few weeks we have to work as a team, we have to make sure we get to Souled Out, so we gotta keep focused on everyone else….. because people are gunna be gunning for us

Vader: Ok, I will hold back until Souled Out……..

Vader walks off, and the camera focus’s in on Steiner, he has a sick smile on his face before we go back to ringside

Wrestling News Central........

Scott Steiner To Become The New WCW World Champion

We have unconfirmed reports that 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner will be crowned the first WCW Champion of the new era on the 23rd of January at Souled Out. The new management seem keen to give the title to a recognised WCW face as they battle to win back the fans they once had. If Steiner does go onto Souled Out his opponent will most likely be Frank Shamrock, he faces Vader on Nitro next week to decide who will go to Souled Out in the championship match. With Shamrock being the biggest fit face in the company due to the injury suffered by Sting, he is expected to line up in the main event against Steiner. This is really a make or break event for WCW they are reluctant to stick to heels in the main event and will find it very hard to turn either Steiner or Vader in such a sort space of time. We believe the original main event was pencil in for Sting Vs Scott Stiener but them plans were scrapped after Sting suffered an injury at the first Nitro.

X Factor Vs Chuck Palumbo & Sean O' Haire For The Titles!

The world tag team titles will be decided at Souled Out, with the last WCW tag champions Chuck Palumbo & Sean O' Haire going against Justin Credible & Syxx Pac. Chuck Palumbo & Sean O' Haire and reported to be very keen on working a program with Justin & Syxx Pac, and with the tag team department looking very weak currently within WCW this fued may go on for quite a while flying the flag for the tag division. It is unclear what sort of match it is going to be but expect this match to be announced either on Thunder or next week on Nitro.

New Talent Arriving?

WCW still has a very small roster, it only has 35 workers on the roster including workers in the developmetal camp and Paul Heyman, so im sure we can expect some new and fresh young talent to be bought in in the next couple of months. WCW seem very reluctant at the moment to pay any high wages at the moment incase things do not go as quickly as planned, with Sting, Vader, Steiner and Frank Shamrock all reported to be on contracts worth over $100,000 a month at the moment any more high earners are out of the question, we will know more on there budget at the end of the month when the financial figures are releashed, but i think it'll be safe to say it will be red.

So stay tuned over the next few weeks for more updates on this matter, the WCW have sent scouts out to all indy feds and are awaiting reports. It is also thought that some talent from the developmental camp may be promoted as the shows become bigger.

Revenge Is A Bitch

New Jack music hits and he and Sandman come out to the ring, they grab a mic and the crowd anticipate what they are about to say

New Jack: Vader, Scott Steiner I know your out the back and preparing for the match against me and Sandman tonight, what we did to you on Nitro on Monday night is nothing prepared to what were gunna do tonight, you see Vader you picked the wrong two men to attack last week on Nitro, me and my partner here……..

Sandman grabs the mic

Sandman: Vader last week on Thunder you cost me a shot at being the first wCw World Heavyweight Champion of the new wCw era, you interfered in my match against Scott Steiner and cost me a spot in the semi final against the man in the ring with me right now, I had that match won, Steiner’s shoulder were down and I was a second away from picking up the three count only for you to enter the ring and nail me with a steel chair, not only did you nail me with the chair but you then proceeded to Vader Bomb me onto in, you’re the reason why on Nitro next week I wont be in the World Title Tournament Semi Final, not Steiner.

Wrestling News Central

Mick Foley For Souled Out?

We have unconfirmed reports here at Wrestling News Central that Mick Foley will be somehow involved in wCw first PPV 'Souled Out: Night Of Champions'. Reports we are getting is that Foley met with Paul Heyman earlier this week and was very excited at becoming a part of what could be a landmark PPV, it is not thought that Foley will be offered a full written contract as he is also working for ROH as is very reluctant to sign a writte deal with any company at the moment.

Rumours have it that officials backstage are very concerned about the lack of 'superstars' power which wCw have at this very early stage, with there main draws Sting, Vader and Scott Steiner it is felt that another great from the wrestling world is needed and with Sting missing the PPV through injury there is a urgent need for a top babyface draw and Foley will definatly fill that spot. It is also unclear as to what part Foley will play at Souled Out, it is not thought that he will wrestle, there are rumours about maybe being a 'Special Guest Referee' in the main event for the world title.

Make sure you catch Nitro and Thunder this week for more updates on this
