[A-Dub]

Wow, just started reading tonight, and I absolutly love it. It definatly has that authentic feel to it, and the segments aren't so drawn out that it gets boring. Impeccable (sp).

[EZE]

Rude ended the un-fairly matched, match with a Rude Awakening for the 3.

[EndOfAnEra]

I like most of it, but I don't like certain things, such as Shane Helms being in WCW in '96. Certain things need to be kept realistic I think.

[Guest Red Devil]

Just finished reading both shows and i'm looking forward to one thing and one thing only, the Four Horseman angle. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. You've built up that suspense well for me to want to read Nitro but the rest of the show seems bland. You may be just starting to get your undercard storyline's rolling so i'll wait for a few more shows for them. The interviews are mostly good and the Flair/Rude promo's were spot on. I don't think you're using the matches as well as you could. I always like to tell a story in my matches and yours just seem skip-able. They seem like the same match every time with only the finishers and names different. Hopefully you can flesh out your matches a little more, not a huge essay on each match but a few more sentances would be good leaving the big match write ups for the PPV. A couple of ok shows with one angle that has me intrigued so i'll check back for Nitro.

WCW Monday Nitro January 8th 1996

Live From Nashville, Tennessee

Tony Schiavone: Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to Monday Nitro!

Bobby Heenan: Tony, We have a big night tonight. Luger and Sting are going to make their decision about the horsemen.

Tony: And, the United States championship number one contendership is on the line when Curt Hennig takes on Rick Rude.

Bobby: It’s a big night! Put your seat belt on Tony, and make sure you don’t go to the bathroom; you don’t want to miss anything!

Tony: Whatever you say Brain. We have Brian Pillman in the ring right now for the first match.

Brian Pillman vs. Jim Duggan

Pillman used his speed and caught Duggan after a few bad decisions. Duggan tried to power slam Pillman but he slipped out and hit a bulldog from behind. Pillman moved on to a hammerlock and then backed Duggan into the corner, but Duggan reversed and tossed him into the corner and worked his body.

After a few minutes of brawling between the two, Pillman slipped out of a bear hug that Duggan had locked in, then tripped Duggan. Pillman waited for Duggan to get up and then he flew and hit a cross body on Duggan, Pin 1…2…3.

WCW Television Title Match!

Chris Benoit vs. Johnny B. Badd

Benoit used his technical skills to start the match; He softened B. Badd’s neck and upper body up. After three or four more minutes of technical wrestling B. Badd escaped a submission and got the momentum after a bodyslam. At this point Arn Anderson walked slowly down to the ring.

The two brawled around the ring for a few minutes; B. Badd got the advantage and then climbed to the top rope. When he got up there, Arn Anderson hopped up onto the ring apron and then hit the ropes, causing Johnny to fall. The ref called for the bell and the ring announcer announced this…

“The referee has declared this match a time limit draw!”

Johnny B. Badd snapped as Anderson and Benoit walked to the back

The Nature Boy Shakes Benoit’s Hand

Flair: Now tonight, the horsemen have some un-finished business with Sting and Lex Luger but tonight the Nature Boy and The Horsemen won’t be making any decisions. This is all on Stinger and Lex!

The two walk out and enter the ring

Sting: Ric, we both respect you and being offered a spot in The Horsemen is the biggest honor for Lex and I.

Flair plays to the crowd whilst they cheer

Luger grabs the mic from Sting

Luger: But…Sting and I have a bond. We are the best of friends and with only one spot on the table, we can’t take it, because we’re like the Horsemen. We’re brothers.

Flair keeps Anderson and Benoit from jumping Luger and Sting as Luger and Sting stand waiting for them.

Flair: Are you joking me! Did you just say no to the Nature Boy?! Did you just say no to The Horsemen!? Are you crazy? I’m the World Heavyweight Champion, Benoit is going to be the Television Champion and we have the Enforcer, Arn Anderson! You have to be joking me!

Flair drops his mic and walks out of the ring with Anderson and Benoit following

We come back and Randy Savage’s music hits and he comes out with a big pop from the crowd.

Randy Savage: Ohhh YEEAH! The Macho Man is in the house! But not without purpose, YEEAH! You see last week The Giant and Kevin Sullivan attacked The Macho Man and I’m not going to stand around waiting for something to happen. So, Giant this weekend at Souled Out, I challenge you to a match. DIGGG IT!

The Giant comes out with Kevin Sullivan

Kevin Sullivan: Randy, You were the first example of many from Kevin Sullivan. Like I said before, I’d watch my back If I were you and that not only goes for you, but every single person in that locker room because you could be next and Randy since you just won’t die, We’ll kill you off at Souled Out. So you got your match!

Crowd pop

Sullivan and Giant turn away to leave, but turn back around and double-team Savage. The Giant sends him into the ground with a chokeslam, then Kevin Sullivan screamed in his ear

“You’ll die this Sunday! This Sunday You’ll Die!”

The two left to a barrage of boo’s as the medical team came and got Savage out of the ring.

Bobby: It’s an old saying. Your old, haven’t you heard it?

Tony: Well, We’ve got a Number One Contender’s match here with Curt Hennig taking on Rick Rude.

Curt Hennig vs. Rick Rude

The two brawled the entire match. Hennig and Rude also used Technical wrestling to keep the fans interested. Rude had Hennig on the ground and was working his back when Hennig reversed the move and then put Rude in a sleeper.

After two or three minutes of Hennig being in control, he hit the Hennig-plex for the three count and the date with Scott Steiner at Souled Out.

Ric Flair: My thoughts? My thoughts, Gene? My thoughts are that those two “friends” aren’t even up to the Horsemen standard because when you’re Horsemen, You’re Horsemen for life.

Mean Gene: Ric, what are you doing about your World Title with Souled Out this week.

Flair: I’m doing one thing and that’s dealing with Luger and Sting, once those two are out of the way. I’ll worry about Souled Out. Now Gene, we have a match. We should go.

Ric Flair and Arn Anderson vs. Sting and Luger

Sting and Luger come out to a huge ovation and Anderson and Flair get some heat but also a few cheers. The match starts with Anderson and Luger, Luger used his power to keep Arn a bit less powerful but The Enforcer wouldn’t stay down. Anderson turned the tables and hit a Spinebuster. Flair then got tagged in and controlled the match taking Luger’s leg and setting it up for the Figure Four.

After Flair controlled for a few minutes, Luger escaped and tagged Sting after getting a few strikes in causing Flair to slide out of the ring. Sting came in with a full head of steam once Flair got in the ring and had Flair retreating back to The Enforcer Arn Anderson. Anderson couldn’t contain Sting’s fire but did stop it a few times with blocks of punches to get a bit of offense in. At this point in the match Flair was back in but wasn’t doing any better against the Stinger, Sting had him down and then signaled for the Scorpion Deathlock. Sting lifted Flairs legs and went to lock it in but before he could LEX LUGER attacked him! Luger knocked him down then lifted him up in the Torture Rack and the referee couldn’t do anything but stand there and watch. Luger dropped Sting down, and left the ring as Flair got back up and locked in the Figure Four. Sting had no choice but to submit after suffering two fatal submission moves.

Luger got back in the Ring and celebrated with Arn Anderson and Ric Flair, Chris Benoit came out and joined the party.

Ric Flair got on the mic

Ric Flair: WOOOO! The FOUR! HORSEMEN! Are complete! And this Sunday at Souled Out! We will prove that! It’s going to be, Lex and I versus Sting and any partner he wants! So Sting, if you have what it takes! Come step into the ring with the Horsemen!

OOC: So..After Diego's comments...heres a show will hopefully a bit of difference in each match. Only 1 more show until Souled Out. Souled Out should be up by Monday at the latest. Sorry for the lateness of this show!

[Guest Muthafawkkinmatt]

That was one hell of a show! The Lugar heel turn was unexpected and I think you have one of the best 4 horseman I've seen in diaries. I also like your use of Kevin Sullivan and what he says, its very realistic.

Also, I wonder who that video is about, all I can think of is Hogan or Ultimate Warrior..

[The Sultan of Swank]

Damn that Luger!!! I was not expecting that turn at all.

Excellent show man.

I really am digging this, and the interaction between The Brain and Tony.

[XxCactusmikexX]

Great Show when sting and luger first said no to the 4 horsemen i was dissapointed i thought that was the end of the angle but than the unexpected heel turn by luger and the promo's are always right on

[EZE]

Not entirely unexpected heel turn by Luger (turn Sting heel if you DARE! *shakes fist*) but it sets up a Luger & Flair versus Sting feud which I always marked for. Even as luger grew larger and larger on his increasing diet of steroids during the nineties I always paid attention to him when he feuded with Sting. It was just timeless.

"The Man".... Hogan. Theres nobody else (besides flair who is on tv) who would go by that description. I thought briefly the Funker but hes not a patriotic red white and blue "The Man" type dude. Hes a rough'em texan baddy.

Mike Tenay and Larry Zybysko tell us that a match that was just announced in a four way tag team elimination match between Fire And Ice, Public Enemy, Road Warriors and the champions Harlem Heat.

Fire and Ice vs. Public Enemy

The two big teams had a short match. The crowd seemed bored during the match and wasn’t responding to any of the superstars in the match. The match wasn’t a total disaster and got some airtime to hype the Tag match for Souled Out.

The match ended when Norton pinned Rocco Rock after a powerslam.

Rocco Rock lost overness from this match. Johnny Grunge lost overness from this match. Scott Norton gained overness from this match. Ice Train gained overness from this match.

WCW Souled Out 1996 Preview

Brian Pillman vs. Jushin Thunder Liger

This match was just added today by World Championship Wrestling President Eric Bischoff. This was the last match added but could have as many sparks as the other matches after the two’s rivalry years ago.

Fire And Ice vs. Public Enemy vs. Road Warriors vs. Harlem Heat © - Elimination Match For The WCW Tag Team Titles

Announced on Saturday Night, these four teams will be battling it out in an Elimination Match for the Tag Titles. This past week on Saturday Night, Fire And Ice defeated Public Enemy and Harlem Heat beat the Road Warriors, after Stevie Ray and Booker T cheated. With all that just yesterday anything could happen tonight.

Chris Benoit vs. Johnny B. Badd © - Television Title

Through all of the Sting and Lex Luger controversy, One Horsemen set his goals on the Television Title. This match is shaping up to be a Television Title classic, with Chris Benoit’s technical skill and Johnny B. Badd’s cocky-ness.

Curt Hennig vs. Scott Steiner © - United States Title

Scott Steiner made an impact in WCW, winning the United States title by taking up on One Man Gang’s open challenge and defeating him. With Steiner having no challenger, President Eric Bischoff made a Number One Contenders match, which Curt Hennig won. This match is looking up to be another memorable match on this Souled Out 1996 Pay Per View.

Randy Savage vs. The Giant

Kevin Sullivan warned “the likes” of Randy Savage to stay out of his way or else they’ll never wrestle again. During Sullivan’s and Savages match on Nitro the 7’1 Monster attacked Savage and sent him out of the building on a stretcher. This didn’t stop Savage though because the next week he was back and he challenged The Giant to a match tonight at Souled Out. Kevin Sullivan accepted on be-half of the Giant but then got a Chokeslam for his troubles. Tonight we will see if Randy Savage can get revenge on The Giant and Kevin Sullivan, or if Savage will face another trip to the hospital thanks to Kevin Sullivan and The Giant.

Sting &??? vs. Ric Flair & Lex Luger

Ric Flair and The Horsemen offered Lex Luger and Sting a spot in The Horsemen but then revealed there was only one spot. The next week on Nitro the pair decided not to join the Horsemen because they would rather have their friendship. That night Flair and Arn Anderson faced Sting and Luger in a tag team match that ended with a shocking act by Luger turning on his best friend and tag team partner Sting. This cemented the alliance between Luger and The Horsemen and ended the already at times shaky one between he and Sting. Since Sting made the wrong choice, Ric Flair challenged Sting and who ever he could find to a match against himself and Lex Luger at Souled Out. Who will Sting bring? What will Lex Luger have to say?

Order Souled Out to find out.

[Hewey]

Good stuff thus far Cole, I don't really like Rude or Hennig wrestling since Hennig was injured at the time and at the WWF, And Rude had been injured for like two years before that, But that's just minor. I liked the Luger turn though it was kinda expected. My guess is The Patriot is coming. Here's my predictions

WCW Souled Out 1996 Prediction Contest

Brian Pillman vs. Jushin Thunder Liger

Could go either way, But I pick Pillman. Should be a great match.

Fire And Ice vs. Road Warriors vs. Harlem Heat vs. Public Enemy - Elimination - Tag Titles

I see Harlem Heat feuding with the Road Warriors later on, So they'll retain by cheating here. I hope to God you don't push Fire and Ice.

Chris Benoit vs. Johnny B. Badd - TV Title

I would like to see Badd retain, But I got a feeling Flair/Luger will lose, So Benoit needs a win here to make the Horsemen keep atleast some momentum.

Scott Steiner vs. Curt Hennig - US Title

He just won the title, No need to drop it now. Lets see what you can do with Scotty first.

Randy Savage vs. The Giant

Sullivan run in, Though Savage could win by DQ.

Sting & ??? vs. Ric Flair & Lex Luger

I pick The Patriot as his partner or the Warrior, Going with Patriot though. If he is debuting, It'd make him look bad to lose in his first match.
