Breaking news

WCW appoint new president

World Championship Wrestling owner Ted Turner had this morning announced that from now on in WCW will be ran by a new president in the name of Paul Judd.

Ted Turner is said to be excited of the arrival of Mr Judd and hopes that he will be the one to turn things around for WCW and it's superstars.

"Mr Judd will have full control over the company and will be starting his job immediately. I have given him permission to bring in what talent he feels will benefit WCW, and the same goes for releasing talent." that was said by the owner of WCW.

Below is a statement form Mr Judd

"WCW as it stands is a sinking ship, they are starting to lose a lot of money every month, the TV ratings are down, the PPV buy rates are down and the general interest in WCW is falling dramatically, and if things carry on the way they are going then people can expect to see the end of World Championship Wrestling sooner rather than later.

This is where i come in, I have been drafted by Ted Turner to take hold of WCW and bring back interest in the product, all he wants for me to do is make sure WCW is still around in two months time, he wants the TV ratings to improve, the buy rates to increase and to get the general interest of WCW back to a high.

He has given me full control over the day to day running's of the company, allowing me to make any decisions that i see fit that will benefit the company. There may need to be a lot of changes take place to see the company rise above the water and get their feet back onto dry ground, new faces at WCW, new workers headlining shows that is what WCW needs, it wont happen overnight, it will take time, it will probably be months before the new faces arrive, a few months before the new head liners are made, but when they do arrive and the new head liners are made, i will make sure WCW is once again the number one wrestling promotion in the world".

Just a quick note to the readers.

This is my first proper attempt at a diary so im not sure how it will end up, Saturday nights won't be in much detail, they will be mostly recaps.

Any feed back will be greatly appreciated, i have to admit my grammar and punctuation is not the best and might become noticeable throughtout the diary, please do say so if you come across bad punctuation and grammar and i will do my best to correct anything out of place.

[Guest blueblood]

I liked WCW 2000. I hope your result format is good man. Also, isn't Elix Skipper and Lance Storm suppose to be on your roster or did they come after The Radicalz left?

Good luck.

[Habbs17]

Lance Storm was still in ECW until summer 2000. Elix Skipper, Reno, Mike Sanders, Sean O'Haire, Mark Jindrak, and Chuck Palumbo were all still in the power plant until summer 2000.

[Cortez]

Habbs17 is correct, Lance is still with ECW and skipper is in development, I probally wont bring any one up from development for a couple of months. and i have no intention of bringing in Lance, well not yet anyway.

Ill post Saturday night in a bit, but it will just be basic results, then ill either post Nitro later tonight or tommorow, i think i still need to tweak it a bit, as the match results might be a little thin so ill have to add to them.

[Cortez]

WCW Saturday night January 1st 2000

A video package opens for the show showing a recap of last weeks Nitro, including the Outsiders getting striped of the Tag titles because Hall didn’t show up, Scott Steiner joining the nWo after attacking Benoit and Sid.

Tennay- Hello im Mike Tennay and tonight im joined by the living legend Larry Zybsko, welcome to WCW Saturday night wrestling, we have a great line up for tonight’s show to kick of the new millennium for WCW, including a great main event Terry Funk taking on Shane Douglas in a Hardcore match.

Larry- Thank you Mike aswell as all the great action tonight hopefully we will get a chance to discuss last Monday nights Nitro where we saw the newest member of the nWo plus the outsiders being stripped of the Tag team gold, and Mike what about the major shock announcement that this Monday night on nitro we will have a new commissioner.

Tennay- All interesting thoughts which we will get to discuss straight after the first match on Saturday night.

Match 1

Blitzkrieg vs Evan Karagias

Karagias hits a dropkick on Blitzkrieg, oh look who’s making his way down the aisle 3 count member Shane Helms, Blitzkrieg turns around after spotting Helms, Shane Helms spins Blitzkrieg around Helms hits the Nightmare On Helms Street! Karagias goes down for the pin1 - 2 - 3. Karagias defeats Blitzkrieg. Karagias and Helms pick Blitzkrieg up and start throwing punches to the defenceless Blitzkrieg.

OR-55%

CR-49%

MQ-61%

Tennay-Evan Karagias picking up the victory over Blitzkrieg only because of the outside interference from Helms and was there any need to beat Blitzkrieg down, Evan got the 3 count no pun intended, and that should have been that, but instead they decide to take Blitzkrieg and beat him up, absolutely no need for that.

Larry- Speaking of beat down what about the nWo beating Sid, and Benoit in what we saw as the debut of Scott Steiner in the newly formed nWo.

Tennay- Yes in what we all thought was Steiner on Nitro running down to save Benoit and Sid from the nWo, instead it was Steiner running down with a baseball bat in hand to assist the nWo with the beating a complete shock to all of WCW, why he joins no one knows maybe we will find out this Monday.

I will also be interested in seeing how the Outsiders react to being stripped of the Tag Team gold, after Scott Hall failed to show up to the arena.

Larry- Something tells me the Outsiders wont be too pleased and will be wanting to take their anger out on the WCW roster, and what will happen to the titles will their be a tournament.

Tennay- Well that is something that may well be decided by the new Commissioner of WCW , im sure that not all of you were made aware but since Last Monday on nitro Vince Russo was removed from power of WCW by Vice President Bill Busch after he felt the company was going in the wrong direction, they have since informed us at WCW that their will be a new commissioner announced on Nitro and he will be making an appearance on the show.

Larry- It is something that will defiantly interest me, it will be interesting to see how he copes with taking on the role and facing the increasing pressure on the nWo. Do you know who it is.

Mike- No

Larry- You sure i mean you would tell me wouldn’t you.

Mike- Yes im sure, and no i wouldn’t tell you, any way more of that later back to the action

nWo video

A video is played of the nWo, showing the newest member Scott Steiner beating up Sid and Benoit 77%

Tennay-Crowbar there with the sneaky win after a couple of low blows. We will take you backstage where Shane Douglas is waiting to do an interview

Douglas on Funk

Douglas-Listen up Funk, tonight old man you will see what the Revolution is all about, you will see what the future of WCW is all about, i will show you that you are too old to be in wrestling, you are to old to step in the ring, and you want a Hardcore match with the Franchise Shane Douglas, Funk you must be going senile in your old age, but it will be a pleasure beating the crap out of you old man.

You well feel the revolution 79%

The cameras cut to the hallway where Funks dressing room is, Funk opens the door and is shown making his way towards the ring. 62%

Tennay- Interesting comments from Shane Douglas i have a feeling tho he may be overlooking Terry funk, he may be old but he still has a lot of fight in him, something Douglas will realise tonight.

Larry- Yes im sure Funk will not be holding back in that Hardcore match, but neither will Douglas, and he is right Funk is an old man and the fact is Douglas can take a lot more than Funk can give.

Mike- well we will see soon enough, in the meantime we take you back to ringside for Juvi vs Shannon Moore

Match 3

Juventud Guerrera vs Shannon Moore

Juvi swings Moore against the ropes goes for the clothesline but Moore ducks but Juvi quickly turns round at the incoming Moore and lands a kick to the mid section Moore is hurt Juvi signals for the end here it comes Juvi Driver. 1....2...3, it's finished.

Funk-Douglas i may be an old man, but i sure as hell ain’t scared of a punk like you, and i sure as hell wont be bowing down to the likes of you, im gonna batter your brains Douglas you arrogant son of a bitch, im gonna show you im not to old to step in the ring im gonna show you im no senile old man, im gonna show you what the meaning of Hardcore really is, you may be good Douglas but you aint as good as the Funkster.

Funk and Douglas nailing each other with trash can lids, almost taking it in turns Funk whacks Douglas, Douglas whacks Funk back, Funk again, now Douglas, he returns the shots one then a second and a third, funk falls to the ground Terry Funk is down and dazed Douglas picks him up, but funk with a low blow and a DDT onto the Trash can lid, both are down on the ring, Funk looks worse for wear they both stumble to their feet lids in hand funk swings but Douglas ducks and the ref gets a lid across the head, Perry Saturn runs into the ring spins Funk around Saturn hits the Death Valley Driver! Saturn leaves the ring and Douglas crawls across to cover Funk 1 - 2 - 3. Its all over Shane Douglas pins Funk.

The format is horrible man. I hate the double spacing and I see no purpose for it. The matches were written out well Cortez but I just hate the format. Keep in mind, those are just my thoughts and don't take offense to them.

Thanks for the comments, I agree the spacing his bad and ill hopefully sort it for the next post, i copied the html from Front Page express and it didnt come out how i hoped, it is meant to have a black background and for some reason the writing went smaller in the middle, ill hopefull sort this out. Thanks again.

If you click the link, you will be able to see how i hoped it would come out.

WCW Monday Night Nitro 3rd January 2000

Tony- Hello wrestling fans from around the world, welcome to WCW Monday night Nitro, im Tony schiavone and im joined by Scott Hudson in what should be a great night, the first Nitro of the new millennium and what a Nitro it is shaping up to be already, with the shock announcement that tonight on Nitro we will see a new commissioner in WCW.

Scott- That is right Tony the announcement came to a shock to all of us at WCW, the announcement that Vince Russo had been removed from power at WCW by Vice president Bill Busch, he was said to be less than pleased at the direction Vince Russo was taking the company and wanted someone new to take over, someone that has had experience both in and out of the ring in the wrestling industry.

Who will it be, all sorts of names have been flying around as possible new replacements, the possibility of Harley Race coming in and taking over, maybe Hulk Hogan, we know he will return shortly and why not in the role of commissioner.

There are all sorts of possibilities.

Tony- Well we should be finding out the who the new commissioner is shortly, in fact i think that straight after are first match up tonight Vice President Bill Busch will come out and introduce us to the new commissioner, so yes Scott we may very well be seeing the return of Hulk hogan or even Harley Race as the role of commissioner of WCW should be interesting, also tonight fans we have some great action as Terry Funk takes on Perry Saturn of the Revolution, three count will be in six man tag action taking on the Filthy Animals, and what should be a great contest the nature boy Ric Flair taking on Booker.T

But lets take you to ring side for are first match up as Norman Smiley the defending Hardcore champion takes on takes on Tank Abbot title is on the line.

Match 1

Norman Smiley vs Tank Abbott Hardcore championship

Norman Smiley backed up in the corner trying to take all the fierce punches that Tank Abbott throws at him, there is no where Norman can go he is getting completely destroyed by Tank Abbott, Tank goes to the outside and fetches a trash can, rolls back in and smacks the trash can across the head of the already dazed Norman Smiley, Smiley down on the canvas with Tank stomping away at him ,Tank picks up and throws Smiley to the outside and gloats to the crowd..

Smiley looks like he doesn’t now where he is, Smiley looks under the ring and pulls out a Singapore cane, he crawls into the ring Tank with his back turned, goes to hit Tank but he turns round just in time and lands the One punch on Smiley, Tank goes for the cover 1..2...3 and we have a new Hardcore champion Tank Abbott

OR-54%

CR-56%

MQ-52%

Tony- Well folks we have a new Hardcore champion in Tank Abbott to be honest there was not much of a contest as Tank just destroyed Smiley like he was a play thing.

Scott- Yes it was a great fight by Tank Abbott, but Tony this is it, will it be Hogan, Race, maybe even Sting, we are about to find out who the new commissioner of World Championship Wrestling is.

Tony- Well there we see the Vice President of WCW Bill Busch making his way into the ring with a microphone in hand so lets take it over to Bill to find out who is the new commissioner of WCW.

Bill Busch- Hello fans of WCW, for those of you that don’t know me im the Vice President of World Championship Wrestling and tonight as most of you will be aware im here to make an announcement regarding the new commissioner of WCW, first of let me say that, i let Vince Russo go because i felt that certain factions and certain wrestlers were deciding the role of each and every member of staff in WCW, Vince Russo saw this happening and done nothing about it, Russo was all mouth and no action at the end of the day he was scared of the certain faction and certain members of the WCW roster, he was not doing his job and as time went on he proved to me that he would not be taking the company in the direction that i and many others had hoped, so we at WCW decided that a new authority figure was needed, that a new commissioner of WCW is what we needed, what we were looking for is someone who wont be scared in making decisions for the company, someone who wont be scared of factions within the company, someone who wont be scared to stand up to anyone in the Company.

We didn’t need any time in making this decision because as soon as he approached us we new he was the right man for the job so without further ado ill leave the ring and let the new commissioner make his way to the ring.

The camera looks towards the entrance ramp as a tall figure stands with a big grin on his face.

Tony-Is that, no it cant be

Scott-I never expected it, i thought he was done with wrestling

Tony-It is him, it's Jesse Ventura

Jesse makes his way to the middle of the ring ready to speak

The crowd is going crazy at the arrival of Jesse Ventura.

Jesse- I bet when you all heard that a new commissioner was going to be introduced into WCW, you all were probably thinking of names like Hulk Hogan, Terry Funk, Sting, Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, I bet you all never thought you would see Jesse “The Body” Ventura as your new commissioner, when I heard that Vince Russo had been removed from power because he couldn’t control the company, because he was scared of the roster and factions mainly the nWo, the great WCW was in trouble because the likes of the nWo were running the company, the likes of the nWo were driving this company into the ground. I sat down one night and thought to my self I can control the WCW, I can control the nWo, because when I was a wrestler you respected the company you worked for, you respected the fact they gave you a job and were paying for you to be in this great industry, never in my day’s as a wrestler had I ever thought of trying to take over the promotion, I never ever thought of taking on my boss. At the end of the day it all boils down to respect and that is something I am going to teach the nWo, I am not scared of the nWo or anyone else in WCW, im going to make sure that the nWo doesn’t bully anyone in WCW, im going to make sure that every one is treated how they should be, im going to make sure that the likes of the nWo are put in their place. So to the likes of the nWo I say this, im the one running the show, im the one in control, and im the one that’s gonna put you in you place. nWo watch your backs.

79%

Just as the new commissioner is about to leave the ring the music of the nWo hits and standing at the top of the ramp are the members of the nWo, heavyweight champion Bret Hart, nWo leader Kevin Nash, his tag partner Scott Hall, and nWo members Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett, they all stand as a group with Nash holding a microphone.

Nash- So the new commissioner of WCW is no other than Jesse Ventura, and what was it you said Jesse, nWo watch your backs, the nWo look at each other and start laughing.

You see Ventura you may have the title of commissioner, you may have the power to tell all the other members of WCW what to do, but one thing you need to learn as the new boy of WCW, we run things around here.

Jesse - Im sorry Nash I couldn’t quite hear what you said, why don’t you and your buddies come down to the ring and tell me to my face might be a bit clearer that way.

With that the nWo make their way to the ring and surround Ventura. Nash gets in Ventura’s face and then the nWo strike.

Bret takes the title belt and nails Ventura straight in the face, Nash picks up Jesse and nails him with a Jackknife powerbomb, while Steiner and Jarrett spray the initials of the nWo across the back of the new commissioner.

Nash- You see Jesse that there is what the nWo is all about, you wanna talk about respect, then respect this, you aint gonna control WCW we are.

With that the nWo leaves the ring looking over a battered and bruised Ventura, taunting him as they leave.

Match 2

Terry Funk vs Perry Saturn

Saturn whips Funk of the ropes and lands a clothesline as he comes back, Saturn with stomps to the head of Funk, Funk tries to stager to his feet but Saturn keeps beating him down with kicks and punches to the upper body of Funk, Saturn turns his back to taunt the crowd but Funk sends a low blow to Saturn and sends him rolling out the ring to the floor. Funk goes to the outside and slams Saturn against the guard rail, picks him up and goes to whip him against the rail but Saturn reverses the whip and sends Funk into the guard rail leaving him in a heap on the floor.

Saturn rolls back into the ring waiting for Funk to get to his feet and starts taunting him to get back and bring it, Funk strolls over and rolls into the ring leaving himself open for Saturn to pounce, Saturn whips funk against the ropes and goes for a clothesline but Funk ducks and nails Saturn with a hard right hand sending him to the floor, Saturn gets straight back up but Funk knocks him back down again, Saturn gets up but receives a stiff clothesline form the Funkster.

Terry Funk with a powerslam to Saturn goes for the pin fall 1...2. and a kick out, Shane Douglas runs down to ring side and tries to enter the ring but the ref is holding him back, while Terry funk tries to get at Douglas, Saturn grabs a chair from the outside and nails Funk straight across the back, Saturn picks up Funk and gives him a devastating Death Valley Driver, the ref turns back Saturn goes for the pinfall 1...2.....3 its all over, but Douglas rolls into the ring as Saturn holds Funk, Douglas lands some hard punches on Funk, punch after punch after punch, Funk is down and out but Douglas nails the Franchiser on Funk leaving him motionless in the middle of the ring.

OR-67%

CR-70%

MQ-61%

Tony- Poor Funk he was beat by two cowards who had no right in beating him down like that, completely uncalled for, the match was over and yet they carried on beating him after he had received a chair shot across the back and a Death Valley Driver.

Scott- I agree Tony, but you have to wonder did this beating have anything to do with Saturday night on WCW when Funk managed to fight of both Douglas and Saturn after a match up in the main event, they tried to beat him down just like we witnessed but he fought them off, maybe this was a message to Funk not to mess with the Revolution.

Tony- Well whatever it was message or not is was cowardly and uncalled for, he is an old man who can not take on two people at a time especially the revolution, folks we take you backstage where Sid is waiting for a few words. I cant believe the damn revolution

The camera cuts to the back where we see Sid pacing up and down the room mumbling to him self.

Sid- Im angry, im angry at the nWo, i just wanna get each member of the nWo by the throat and strangle them until they are lifeless until they mutter their last words, you see last week on Nitro the nWo beat me and Benoit down they stomped away at me and Benoit as we lay their defenceless, it was a 5 on 2 beating, a beating that i want to avenge, mark my words nWo im gonna find each and every one of you and make you pay, no one and i mean no one messes with Sid.

90%

A second camera backstage is in the office of a battered and bruised commissioner Jesse Ventura.

Jesse- Well nWo you certainly made an impression on me, you said that you run things not me, well that’s completely not true, you see yes you are right i do have title of commissioner, and i do have the power to make WCW wrestlers do as i want and that includes you the nWo, you see i just heard the comments by Sid, and does he sound pissed of a lot like me, well I’ve got something to make him happy about and me, because tonight nWo members the outsiders will step in the ring to face the team of Sid and............ Goldberg.

86%

We see Jeff Jarrett backstage guitar in hand talking with some attractive young ladies, as DDP walks past,

DDP- Yo Jarrett saw you and the nWo out earlier bet you all think your big tough guys after beating up Ventura and spraying him, but i gotta ask you Jarrett could you do it on your own, would have the balls if you weren’t backed up by the nWo, cause the way i see it your just like the messenger boy, you do all the dirty work for them and think your one of the boys when in fact your nothing your just a coward.

Jarrett- You now what Page..........Jarrett slams his guitar of the head of DDP, choke on that slapnut 76%

COMMERCIAL

Tony-Welcome back fans before the commercial break we saw Sid threaten the nWo then we saw Jesse Ventura make tonight’s main event of “The outsiders” taking on the team of Sid and Goldberg, and then we saw Jeff Jarrett nail DDP over the head with his guitar.

Scott- Well those events we saw before the break will lead toward a great main event tonight made by are new commissioner Jesse Ventura, im looking forward to seeing Sid get his hands on The Outsiders and also Goldberg has had history with the nWo so im sure he will be pleased with the match up.

And we can’t forget the match up tonight between Ric Flair and Booker.T

Tony- What an opportunity for Booker.T as he takes on the legendary Ric Flair tonight, if he could beat Flair it would be a great boost for his career in WCW, but before that we will take you to ringside for six man tag team action as The Filthy Animals battle Three Count.

Match 3

Three Count vs Filthy Animals 3vs3

Rey, Kidman, Konnan vs Evan Karagias, Shannon Moore, Shane helms

Rey goes up top for a Moonsault on the grounded Shannon Moore, Rey jumps but Moore slides over and Rey lands body first on the canvas, both men down and injured and slowly crawling over to their corners with both team mates holding out their hands for the tag, Moore tags helms, and Rey quickly tags Konnan, Konnan runs at Helms with a clothesline, Karagias makes his way into the ring but gets nailed with a clothesline, Helms back up but another clothesline same for Karagias, Helms and Karagias both stand up staggered and dazed, Konnan runs of the ropes and lands a double clothesline on the 3 count members, and turns to the crowd for a great reception, Karagias back to his corner now as Konnan picks up Helms for a body slam, followed by three elbow drops, Konnan with a whip to the ropes goes for the clothesline, Helms ducks comes back tries for a flying cross body and nails Konnan, both man quickly back to their feet slugging it out , but Helms with a standing dropkick to the gut of Konnan, Helms tags in Evan, Konnan tags in Kidman but all members of 3 count rush in as do the filthy Animals, it’s a wild brawl Konnan slugging it out with Helms on the outside, Rey jumps of the turnbuckle and splashes Moore to the ground they both roll to the outside, leaving Kidman and Karagias in the ring, Kidman with a dropkick followed by a clothesline and a second leaving Karagias on the floor, Kidman climbs the turnbuckle is this it, is it time for the shooting star press, no Karagias jumps at the ropes leaving Kidman stranded on the turnbuckle, he climbs up with Kidman puts his arm around him looking for a superplex but Kidman lands some punches to the mid section and then a headbutt sends Karagias crashing to the canvas, Kidman with the SHOOTING STAR PRESS oh that was spectacular the ref with the count 1...2....3 it’s all over the Filthy Animals defeat 3Count with a shooting star press from Bill Kidman onto Evan Karagias.

Tony- A great match up their with Kidman landing an amazing Shooting star press on Evan Karagias to take the victory.

Scott- Yes it certainly was a good encounter but will it be as good as the next match as Booker.T takes on the great Nature Boy Ric Flair. In what surely has to be the most important match of Booker.T’s career.

Tony- Oh yes this is probably the one match of Booker.T’s career that he would most want to win, forget the Tag title wins, forget the Television Title wins, this is the one he will want the most, if Booker.T wins this it will set him up for great things in WCW, there are not many people who can brag about taking on the Nature Boy and coming out on top, will the Booker man be one of them lets find out as we take you to ringside for Booker.T vs Ric Flair.

Match 4

Booker T vs Ric Flair

Scott- The experience of Ric Flair payed of there, as Booker.T looked like he could have taken the match, especially when he landed the Harlem Hangover he came so close to a three count, i think that if he had connected with the Scissors kick it would have all been over, but Flair saw it coming and quickly reacted by putting on the figure four and their was no escaping.

Tony- Great match, but lets take you to Chris Benoit who is waiting backstage for a few words.

Benoit- All i came to say really is why Bret, why, you have been the one i looked up to throughout out my career, you are the one i hade the most respect for in this business, but not any more not after you joined the nWo, they are nothing but playground bullies and you have become one of them, you don’t need the nWo Bret, you are better than the nWo, or at least that is what i thought, instead you go round in groups and beat on defenceless people look at Ventura tonight, he had done nothing to you yet you use your Heavyweight championship to hit him with, you even done it when he had is back turned. Bret you used to be the best there is, the best their was, and the best their ever will be, but now to me your just the best coward their was the best coward there is and the best coward their ever will be.

Commercial

Tony- Wow harsh words their from the Canadian crippler but all true, Bret has just become one of the bullies, there used to be a time when everyone in the world respected Bret Hart, but recently it has become hard to even acknowledge that such a coward has become the heavyweight champion of WCW.

Scott- The once respected Bret Hart well he has just become like Benoit said a coward, and for Benoit to speak out against Bret, well if i was him id watch my back because you can be safe to say the nWo will be on the look out for Benoit in the future.

Tony- Well lets take you to are main event match up that was made earlier on tonight by are new commissioner Jesse Ventura, as we see The Outsider’s Kevin Nash and Scott Hall

take on Goldberg and Sid.

WCW Thunder

6th January 2000

Tennay-Hello and welcome to WCW Thursday night Thunder im Mike Tennay and alongside me tonight Bobby “The Brain” Hennan, and what a night we had on Monday as WCW Vice president Bill Busch announced JESSE VENTURA as the new commissioner of World Championship wrestling. Jesse Ventura promised to control the nWo and make sure they didn’t run things around WCW.

Bobby- Yes but they soon rained on the parade of Jesse Ventura, after Bret Hart nailed Jesse with his title belt and then a Jackknife powerbomb from Kevin Nash.

Tennay- That then lead to Ventura setting up the main event of Nitro as he made The Outsiders take on Goldberg and Sid, The Outsiders gained the pin fall over Sid after Scott Steiner made his way down to the ring and took out Sid and Goldberg with his led pipe. The three nWo members continued to beat down Sid, and Goldberg after the three count which in turn brought out the arrival of Chris Benoit to make the save with a steal chair.

So what will the Outsiders have in store for Goldberg, Sid and Benoit. Also tonight in action we will see Hardcore Legend Terry Funk take on Lex Luger, a triple threat match for the cruiserweight title between current champion Madusa, Filthy animals member Billy Kidman and 3 Count member Evan Karagias.

The cameras cut to the back showing Goldberg talking on his cell phone, behind him the Outsiders spot him, they whisper to each other and sneak up behind Goldberg and nail him sending him flying to the ground, Nash picks up Goldberg and holds him as Scott Hall pounds away at his body, Goldberg falls to the floor, Nash and Hall find some scaffolding on the ground and start laying into Goldberg, as they finish they pick him up and slam him of the wall leaving him in a bloody heap,

Hall- Hey Goldberg looks like it’s one for the good guys.

85%

Tennay- The Outsiders striking Goldberg when he wasn’t looking that’s all they seem to be doing lately beating on people when they are defenceless.

Bobby- Ah come on Tennay, Goldberg should have know better than to be on his cell phone, he should have been looking out for the nWo, he knows that they will be after him, he only has himself to blame.

Tennay- Well i don’t agree with you Hennan, i don’t know how you can sit their and condone the actions of The Outsiders.

Bobby- Shut up Tennay, you haven’t got a clue, lets go to the first match.

Match 1

The Demon vs Curt Henning

Hennig has The Demon on the floor with a tightly griped headlock, The Demon tries forcing himself onto his feet overpowering Henning, The Demon pushes Henning onto the ropes and nails him with a forearm as his comes back, Demon picks Henning up and lands a blow to the head, then whips him of the ropes, Henning comes back Demon goes for a clothesline but Henning ducks and comes back Demon turns around and lands a Boot to the face of Henning.

Bobby- What a great win for Henning, leading The Demon into that trap, that is the sort of mind that makes great wrestlers and separates them from the likes of The Demon.

Tennay- He cheated plain and simple, The Demon had the upper hand, and Henning had to cheat to get the pin fall.

The camera goes to the back where we see Ventura sitting at his desk.

Jesse- I came to a decision regarding the main event for tonight’s show, you see i was going to put Goldberg against one of the Outsiders in the main event tonight, but after your cowardly attack we saw earlier that match wont be taking place, but nerveless one of The Outsiders will still wrestle tonight, I came to the decision to put the leader of the nWo in the main event so tonight we will see Big Sexy Kevin Nash going one on one with................. SID.

78%

Tennay- Wow what a great main event match up we have for tonight, Nash vs Sid, maybe it’s time for the nWo leader to see what the nWo is up against if they think they can rule WCW.

Bobby- Nash will cripple Sid, especially when he has the nWo backed up in his corner, the question i have to ask Tennay is what part will Hall play, especially after The Outsiders took out Goldberg earlier on tonight.

Match 2

Juventud Guerrera and Rey Misterio Jr. vs David Flair and Crowbar

Also in action Sid as he goes one on one with Revolution member Shane Douglas.

Bobby- You have to wonder after what happened on Thunder will Terry Funk be making an appearance in the Sid Douglas match, you can guarantee Funk will not back down from Douglas and the Revolution, they can beat him down all they want but he will keep getting back up and he will keep fighting back.

Tony- And what about Benoit becoming the number one contender to the Heavyweight championship, after we saw Hart attack Benoit on Thunder for the comments he made one week ago at Nitro. We then later saw Jesse Ventura make the match up for Souled out Benoit vs Hart, Hart should not take Benoit lightly.

Bobby- And on the same token Benoit should not take Hart lightly, especially with the fact that Hart will have the nWo watching his back, who will Benoit have watching his.

Nash wants Goldberg

Suddenly the music of the nWo hits and we see nWo leader Kevin Nash make his way to the ring looking like he means business, mic in hand Nash waits to speak as the chorus of boo’s erupts.

Tennay- What a main event Steiner vs Benoit.

Hennan- Ventura may think he has made a great main event and yes he has but did he think about the role of Bret Hart, will Bret Hart make an appearance in the main event match up. This once again may be a beat down for the Crippler Benoit.

Bobby- Well Kidman should be looking out for these things, if he wants to be a champion then he has to be aware of the territories that come with the belt.

The music of DDP blasts across the arena as we see him make his way into the ring.

DDP- Come on Jarrett, I want your ass out here now, you might be a coward, you might have to sneak attack me after i have finished a match, but im man enough to call you out and go at it face to face, so come on Jarrett where are you, come out here and show your worthless ass and bring that United States championship with you.

Jeff Jarrett comes down carrying the WCW United States belt, and gets in the ring.

Jarrett- Well Diamond Dallas Page you called me out and hear i am so what do you want, and make this quick, I’ve got more important things to be dealing with than the likes of you.

DDP- Jarrett I want your ass, and i want that title, make sure of this Jarrett at Souled Out im gonna kick your ass and im gonna take that title, im gonna show you what it feels like to feel the BANG.

Jarrett looks straight at Page and nails him with the United States championship.

Bobby- Page wanted a title shot and he certainly got one, maybe not the one he wanted but he certainly got one. But Tennay it is a match i do want to see DDP vs JJ but will Jarrett let it happen.

Tennay- Lets hope so Bobby, up next the second and last match of the mini tag team tournament Davis flair and Crowbar vs Three Count.

Every time you get in my face i show you that you cant beat me Page, and you want me at Souled Out then lets do it, You can choke on that Slapnut.

Suddenly the music of DDP hits and he charges into the ring as officials and backstage staff follow him. Page looks to set on Jarrett but the officials and referees hold him back, as Jarrett retreats out of the ring taunting Page as he goes. 85%

Hennan- Its on Tennay, its on DDP vs JJ for the us title what a match it will be, can you feel it Tennay can you feel the excitement for Souled Out.

Tennay- Well Bobby I can certainly see where you are coming from, Souled Out is looking like a great card so far, Hart vs Benoit, DDP vs JJ, and the Outsiders vs Sid and Goldberg. Speaking of which two halves of that match are up next, Sid vs Scott Hall.

Chris Benoit is backstage waiting to say a few words.

Bret you showed on Nitro that maybe you have an edge over me, maybe i do have the odds stacked against me, but Hart that’s not because of you that’s because of the nWo, without the rest of the nWo you would be nothing, if you didn’t have the nWo to back you up then i can guarantee you wouldn’t show your face near me or in any of my matches, come Souled Out the chances are i will face the same problem as I faced on Nitro a handicap match, an nWo beat down, well let me tell you this Hart, come Souled Out whether it be one on one, or two on one, or even three on one, I will make sure you get your ass kicked, i will make sure i give it my all and I will make sure i walk out of Souled Out the new WCW heavyweight champion. 78%

Tennay- Well actually Hart did have the nWo as it was a tag match the only members not present were the Outsiders, but i know what you mean Bobby, in the mean time lets take you backstage with Sid and Goldberg.
