WWF: 1992

[ChrisO]

The World Wrestling Federation in 1991 had a pretty good year, but now the real road to Wrestlemania begins. The year of Wrestlemania 8 is upon us, and this time, I'm going to do things right.

[ChrisO]

The WWF Championship is currently held by no one, it is vacant, soon though someone will come through as the WWF Champion, that will be determined at the Royal Rumble as 30-men will go at it for the richest prize in the game the World Wrestling Federation Championship.  Ric Flair currently holds the NWA World Title but will that championship still be avaliable at the Royal Rumble or will the WWF decide to get rid of the championship altogether?  The Intercontinental Championship is currently held by Bret Hart and Bret has made a great Intercontinental Champion but with so many up and comers on the rise, will the Hitman be able to hang on to the championship or will one of the young bloods take it?  The Legion of Doom currently holds the Tag Team Championship and they promise to make an impact, with WWF Superstars being our first event, what will happen with LOD and who will be the first to make claim that they are better?

Wednesday, January 1st, 1992

I was sitting in the offices of World Championship Wrestling, owned by Ted Turner. I was looking at the cards that the bookers had put together for the next show entitled World Wide Wrestling. I had made a few suggestions here and there and they listened to them and used some of them, while I was looking over the card my phone in the office began to ring I pick it up and on the other line is World Wrestling Federation owner, Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Mr. McMahanon offered me a job at the WWF some time ago but I turned it down to work for WCW and now he was at it again, but this time offering me a job as the head booker for his company. I pondered at it and then he offered me a very nice salary of about $60,000 a year, which was about $30,000 more than what I was getting at WCW. I immediately jumped at the opportunity and the cash and then went straight to Ted Turner and he was sorry to see me go, but, now I have to report to WWF headquarters in Stamford and then get ready for the first show on Saturday.

[ChrisO]

Thursday, January 2nd, 1992

Earlier today it was announced that WCW fired staff member Eric Bischoff and signed Killer Kowalski in his place. A very interesting move I think because I thought Turner was going to put the role of acting WCW President on Bischoff, this is indeed something to watch, as us here at the WWF now have our eye on Mr. Bischoff.

[ChrisO]

Early Saturday, January 4th, 2005

The ratings for WCW World Wide Wrestling came in last night and they got a .02, which isn't bad given the Graveyard they're in for the show and the fact that the highest possible rating in that slot is an estimated .05 rating, but they did drop in popularity as well, as for us our first show is tonight, so, time to head out for the show.

Not trying to be a dick but, these could have been posted in a single post. Specially your first post which didn't really serve much of a purpose.

[VA Finest 1]

I'm not the kind of person who will knock a diary because it takes a lot of hard work and I haven't been successful at my diaries, but your knowledge of the period is bad, here's why.

A. 1992 wasn't 2005, in 1992 on tv most of the matches were squash matches.

B. LOD defending the Tag Titles in the first match on tv, a title would never be defend on television a title defense was always a PPV match.

C. Money Inc laying the Nasty Boys out, at this point Money Inc and The Nasty's were both managed by Jimmy Hart.

D. The Rockers were split up, and if they weren't they were on the verge of it.

E. Owen and Bulldog weren't a team in 1992, Owen was teaming up with Jim Neidhart at the time.

F. Sgt. Slaughter split with Colonel Mustafa and General Adnan in 1991 and was a face.

G. Jake Roberts and The Undertaker did fight in 1992, at Wrestlemania VIII but at January-1992 both were heel and they were allies.

H. Ric Flair's title was never called the NWA World Title on air, Flair called himself the real world's champion and paraded with the belt but on the storyline the WWF didn't acknowledge the belt.

I. Bret Hart and Ric Flair wouldn't of been giving away on free tv like that.

J. Hart was feuding with The Mountie at the time and Jake Roberts was feuding with Savage at the time so a Hart-Roberts feud makes no sense.

K. Sid-Undertaker see Hart-Flair, plus Sid had recently arrived and wasn't just going to be jobbed out.

L. Taker feuding with Flair, makes no sense, Flair was somewhat feuding with Hogan, Flair even helped Taker win the title from Hogan at the 91 Survivor Series.

M. Bret-Koko.B Ware in 1992 faces didn't fight faces and heels didn't fight heels. It had to be a unique occassion such as Hogan-Warrior or even Piper-Hart for that to happen.

N. Savage-Roberts see Hart-Flair, Sid-Taker. Matches like this wouldn't be given away on free tv and woudn't be given away without building them up.

O. Hogan losing, enough said.

P. Here's some tips, if you do a diary research the era in which you are doing and maybe you should real other people's diaries for a while to get a better feeling on how it works and what makes a good diary.

I'm not trying to knock you or claim to be a diary expert because I'm not, all I'm trying to do is to point out things that you can improve like people did for my when I wrote my diaries.

WWF Tag Team Championship Match

The Rockers (Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty) Vs. The Legion of Doom (Hawk and Animal)

Great choice for a main event here. Plenty of back and fourth action and a lot of nearfalls, even a missed attempt for the Doomsday device but it ends with the Double Fistdrop on Hawk for the 3 count and The Rockers are crowd new tag team champions!

Post-Match: The Rockers celebrate their new title win when suddenly Michaels Superkicks Jannetty right in the chin laying down one-half of the new champs while the other half stands over him.

MQ: 93%

CR: 84%

Overall show rating: 70%

We picked up a 5.65 TV rating while 5043 people attended the show, giving us $201,720 in ticket sales, this was our only MEW show before Royal Rumble so most of the matches have been set.

Just a reminder. Make your Royal Rumble predictions as the card is complete, the Rocker WILL team up at the Royal Rumble against Hawk and Animal and the other possible matches will not take place now.

Well, found out this morning and possible future competitors United States Wrestling Association signed two new staff members today as their product continues to grow. Dr. Wagner and Cordelia Cox have both signed contracts as staff members and the contracts are merely verbal but I have no wish to sign them as this moment.

Friday, January 10th, 1992

Saturday, January 11th, 1992

Superstars

Rey Misterio Jr. Vs. Ultimo Dragon

MQ: 71%

Piper's Pit.

Special Guests: Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty

A huge argument insues here between the new WWF Tag Team Champions.

Not much of a match here. It ends after Bulldog hits the running Powerslam on Slaughter, but, Owen comes running down and lays out Bulldog and then Slaughter covers him for the 3 count.

My thoughts: Not a bad show, with the Rumble match being the most boring, of course, but, I think the Intercontinental Title match went over really well and was the match of the night, just ahead of the Tag Title Match, so with that in mind, we move on to get the buyrate.

the Buyrate for the Royal Rumble was: 1.10 with 13,461 in attendance which gave us $807,660 in ticket sales and $2,750,000 in PPV Revenue.

WCW's Buyrate for January Clash of the Champions was .88 with 10,865 in attendance.

USWA Ragged Glory got 840 attendance and it wasn't a PPV so it had no buyrate.

GWF's The Sun Never Sweats had 425 in attendance and again wasn't a PPV so had no buyrate.

Good week, still on top.

[ChrisO]

Just a quick OOC note: I apologize for the way the Orders of Entry and Elimination turned out in the results, I didn't know that would happen and I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

[Guest U.s_Champ_Mysterio]

good rumble

[ChrisO]

Ok guys. I need a little bit of help.

I am in a bit of a slump with the Shawn Michaels Vs. Marty Jannetty feud. Over the past few weeks, Shawn has gave Marty the Superkick week in and week out, last time being at Royal Rumble. So I'm turning to you guys.

Over the next 2 or 3 days, if you would send me a Private Message or an IM on AOL or MSN (both of my contacts are in my profile), telling me what you would like to see out of the Shawn Michaels Vs. Marty Jannetty feud, that will most likely end at Wrestlemania. If you could tell me what you would like to see then please IM me or PM me.

Also, remember this is the year 1992 in the diary, so, it needs to be something clean as this was a time when WWF was clean, had some blood but that's pretty much it.

Monday, January 13, 1992

First before Prime Time Wrestling just a little bit of news.

Our next big show is Saturday Night Main Event so the build up is really hoping to be big for that one as it's our last show before Wrestlemania VIII. There will be a prediction contest for SNME and this time there will be a prize involved for the winner, and that will be announced after the first card for the show goes up which will be in the next couple of weeks.

Also, we have less than three months left on our contract with Fox therefore we are in negotiations to keep our Superstars show on the network, currently they're next offer is 9 months which we are considering. That's all the news for now

Prime Time Wrestling

El Matador Vs. Rey Misterio Jr.

Pretty good match. Just the reaction wasn't that great, but, Rey won it after a Flying Rana and pinning for the 3 count.

MQ: 89%

CR: 49%

OR: 69%

Ultimo Dragon Vs. Jerry Lynn

A near perfect match. Great credit goes to these guys but the reaction still wasn't what we were hoping for. It ends after Lynn hits a Tornado DDT on Ultimo for the win.

MQ: 98%

CR: 42%

Jerry "The King" Lawler Vs. Virgil

Not a bad match, but, not a great one either, about like the crowd reaction. Lawler picks up the win with a Piledriver.

Now, it's a Shawn Michaels interview as he just goes after Marty Jannetty, even though he is Jannetty's tag partner and they hold the Tag Team Championships together.

Not a bad match, mixed with a good crowd reaction for these guys. Taker nails a Choke Slam and makes the cover for the 3 count.

Ultimate Warrior Vs. Repo Man

Bad booking on my part with this one. Ultimate Warrior ended it after the Gorrilla Press for the win.

MQ: 58%

CR: 69%

Next is an interview with Jake "The Snake" Roberts as he is going after Bret Hart and talks about how much he wants the Intercontinental Championship then a challenge is laid down for the title at Saturday Night Main Event next month.

Jake "The Snake" Roberts Vs. Hulk Hogan

Not bad, but, not great either. Hogan wins it after an interference attempt from Piper is unsuccessful and Hogan rolls up Roberts for the 3 count.

Post-Match: Hogan gets beaten down by Roberts and Piper but Bret Hart comes down to quickly make the save.

MQ: 60%

CR: 74%

OR: 69%

Overall Show Rating: 71%

Not a bad show, but, the interviews kept us over the 70 percentile mark so we need to go back and do some rethinking before we do these matches again.

SMW got a .32 rating for SMW TV, which was considerably lower than our 5.85 rating for Prime Time Wrestling, so we're still on top of things.

Earlier today, the team called the Thrillseekers were hired by the WWF and we will debut that team tonight on Superstars, the members are Lance Storm and Lion Heart, I have seen these guys work and they can put on some awesome stuff in the ring so they will definitely be a great asset to this company.

Not bad but not great in any way, the crowd wasn't up or down very much until the Superfly hit the Superfly Splash for the win.

The Bushwackers Vs. The Thrillseekers (Lion Heart & Lance Storm)

We see Mr. Perfect backstage and he starts talking about how he should be main eventing instead of staying on the midcard level and that's about it.

Rick Martel Vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage

Great match and the fans were into it for the majority while the Macho Man ended it with a Savage Elbow and made the cover for the 3 count.

Post-Match: Mr. Perfect came down and started to go after Savage and took him down with a Perfect-Plex.

Not a bad match but the fans still weren't into this one. It ends when Sid hits the Powerbomb on Brawler for the win.

Jerry Lynn Vs. Marty Jannetty

This match was absolutely perfect, the fans just weren't buying into it though. It ends when Shawn Michaels runs down and nails Lynn in the chin with the Superkick and lays Jannetty on top for the win.

Post-Match: Jannetty gets up and Michaels is celebrating by himself when Jannetty nails Michaels with the Rocker Dropper!

Tag Team Main Event

Rowdy Roddy Piper & Jake "The Snake" Roberts Vs. Bret "Hitman" Hart and Hulk Hogan

For some reason this didn't go like I'd hoped it would, the fans weren't even into it half the time. It ends when Roberts gets counted out by the referee and Hogan and Hart are the winners.

Post-Match: Hogan and Hart celebrate and Piper comes over and nails Hogan with a Piledriver knocking out the WWF Champion!

Overall Show Rating: 67%

Compared to our 3.49 rating for Superstars, WCW Saturday Night scored a 3.25 rating, which is WCW's main show I believe, but, our show wasn't bad just the matches weren't that good except Jannetty and Lynn, you can expect a rematch between those two in the future, once Lynn gets known better.

In other news, during the show last night, it was reported that Smokey Mountain Wrestling signed New Jack to a Open Contract starting immediately so SMW going into the Free Agent pool and pulling some people out.
