WCW Superbrawl VII opens up with a video package showing highlights of the feud between Rowdy Roddy Piper and Hollywood Hogan. It shows footage of their match from Starrcade '96 where Rowdy Roddy Piper beat Hollywood Hogan using the Sleeper Hold. It then shows Rowdy Roddy Piper's return and it shows footage from last Monday night on Monday Nitro. It shows Piper putting the fake Piper into the sleeper hold while Hollywood Hogan watched with fear in his eyes. Tonight it's the battle of icons and the nWo is banned from ringside!

Once the video package ends we're taken to the Cow Palace where pyros shoot off through out the arena, And we get a shot of the live crowd on hand! The attendance number is shown on the screen which is 15229 people on hand for WCW Superbrawl VII! We get another live shot of the crowd and we see several signs including "Raw Is Snore", "Nash = ratings" and a "nWo 4 life" signs all in the crowd. Most fans are wearing nWo T-Shirts while some are wearing T-Shirts of their favorite WCW superstars like Sting, Lex Luger, The Giant and the Four Horsemen. The cameras show the entry way for tonight's event and we get a shot of the ring which has a "Superbrawl VII" logo on it. Then we're taken to the announce booth where our announcers for tonight are Tony Schiavone and Dusty Rhodes. Schiavone is wearing a black suit while Rhodes is wearing jeans with a white t-shirt and a red leather jacket over it. Rhodes is also wearing a black cowboy hat.

Tony Schiavone- Welcome to WCW Superbrawl VII! We are live here in beautiful San Francisco, California and what a night this one is gonna be! I'm Tony Schiavone and alongside me is "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes! Fans it's the night everyone has been waiting for, We got Rowdy Roddy Piper versus Hollywood Hogan tonight for the WCW World Championship in a no disqualification match where the nWo is barred from ringside!

Dusty Rhodes- Tony what a war that one is gonna be, It's gonna be a down and dirty fight between the icons in this business. Tonight I say we're gonna have a new World Champion. Hollywood Hogan will not be able to beat Rowdy Piper. I can't wait to see the main event. What a fight that's gonna be from The Cow Palace.

Tony Schiavone- Tonight we also got The Outsiders defending the WCW Tag Team Championship against The Giant and Lex Luger. Hall and Nash have claimed that Luger and Giant can't trust each other and that tonight there'd be a new member of the nWo.

Dusty Rhodes- If Hall and Nash are right then what will happen? Who's this new nWo member they're talking about? Luger and Giant are at a huge disadvantage tonight. They don't trust each other and I think that's gonna be their down fall. Lets hope I'm wrong.

Tony Schiavone- Could we see Lex Luger joining the nWo? Could The Giant go back to the New World Order? Who is this new member of the nWo?

Dusty Rhodes- We'll find out tonight Schiavone. What a huge event this is going to be.

Tony Schiavone- Eddie Guerrero retains the title thanks to some accidental help from Jeff Jarrett, Steve McMichael is not happy.

Dusty Rhodes- He has no reason to be happy Schiavone, Jeff Jarrett cost him the WCW United States Championship here tonight. And I don't think it was all that "accidental" if you know what I mean.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Wow out of my predictions I only actually got one wrong. Great Superbrawl. I'm still hoping to see Heenan and Tenay join Tony for commentry, but I'll survive without it.

Great stuff. I want to see a huge Konnan push

[Guest Jebus]

I was 6-3 with 4 correct tiebreakers....

[Steveio]

OFF TOPIC: Somthing that i just noticed is that when you did your other WWF Diary I could tell that you had alot of time on your hands and now in this one it aint so mutch alot of time.

[Guest UmpireAJS]

What the hell Disciple? that un-talented no good bugger, I thought you have fired him already! Other than that it was a pretty good superbrawl, nice to see Sting helping out Luger and Giant and Shamrock helping out the Steiners,as usual I sucked a predictions,but I do hope you are not going to huge things with Disciple and just keep him to Lower Midcard/Opener status.

EDIT:On What TP said,yes it is historically true that Disciple joined the nWo [after failing to do so as The Booty Man]in this period but in your diary I dont see any reason why you need that bugger,he is as useless as Mongo [and believe me, I HATED those two even I was a mark then]-I just hope he only shows his face at Saturday Nights,let alone wrestle.

[Typical Phenom]

This is really the first event I've read in this diary and I can't say it was altogether thrilling. I won't comment on the booking because I didn't read how the characters have been built up and whatnot, but Dusty Rhodes on commentary sounds absolutely nothing like Dusty Rhodes and that really made it hard to read. The choice of the Disciple is realistic, but pointless and I'm sure a lot of readers were disappointed by that. I'll prolly check in periodically, but eh, wasn't what I expected.

[gunnar hendershow]

The Disciple? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Great from a storyline standpoint, but it's the fucking disciple. Ah well, as long as he just stands next to Hollywood and doesn't wrestle I'll be fine. And you got some real bad match quality for the main event dude, but I assume you were expecting that.

Besides the Disciple, I give your show and your writing a big thumbs up.

The Disciple was brought in because I had someone else lined up for it, But then I thought I'd wait a bit before debuting him. Plus it would make him look bad right after debuting running away from Sting. I seriously doubt he'll get any kind of push.

Yeah I won't be putting Dusty on PPV commentary anymore, Hopefully next time you check it out you'll like alot better than Superbrawl VII

Yeah I knew the main event would bomb but oh well, Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for the replies, A news report should be up sometime later in the day

[Guest meripu1]

1/2 star for Hogan-Piper, nice.

Im not a Disciple fan but it is about how Hewey uses him and how he writes him so i will wait before i comment further.

I liked most of the show Hewey, shame you dont have as much time as i still think it isnt as good as the WWF 1995 diary but it is improving.

I agree with ditching Rhodes on commentary too.

2 predictions wrong, not too bad.

Bring on Nitro!

[Steveio]

I actually think Disciple is way more talented then Mongo, who I think was the worst addition to the 4 horsemen.

WCW News for Monday, February 17th 1997

Rick Martel has signed with World Championship Wrestling, Reports says Martel signed a one year deal for around $143,000. Martel has been send down to the pit for awhile to get used to working WCW style since Martel had been working for Extreme Championship Wrestling earlier in the year, Martel signed the contract this past Saturday night and he was at Superbrawl VII. No news has been let out as for when Rick Martel will make his debut.

Many people were disappointed in the newest nWo member The Disciple, The original plan was to have ? debut costing Piper the match. But plans were scrapped due to ? not being able to fly out to San Francisco during the weekend due to suffering a minor knee injury a couple days before the event, Ed Leslie long time Hogan friend was backstage at the show and Hogan suggested that they'd use him... At first many didn't like the idea but Hogan ended up throwing a fit saying he wanted Leslie to interfere during the main event. Leslie is expected to wrestle very little and mostly be at Hollywood Hogan's corner during his matches. (Please note ? is a person but I didn't want to say who)

Ken Shamrock was well received backstage at Superbrawl VII and many liked the way the six men tag team match came out with Shamrock dominating Bagwell, Norton and Rogers. Most people feel that Ken Shamrock will have great success in World Championship Wrestling especially since he turned down the WWF's offer to join the WWF. Shamrock also got a great ovation from the fans when he came out to the ring proving that right now he's over with the WCW fans. Ken Shamrock is going to be on Monday Nitro tonight and he's expected to wrestle at Uncensored.

Arn Anderson returned to WCW last night after being out for weeks, Anderson wasn't really injured but just took a few weeks off to be with his family. Anderson will be managing fellow Four Horsemen member Chris Benoit in a attempt to get Benoit over with the fans, Anderson is expected to wrestle in tag matches with Benoit every once in awhile but for the most part he'll be managing "The Canadian Crippler".

Scott Hall and Kevin Nash are at it again, Hall and Nash had to be talked into losing the tag team titles at Superbrawl VII, Both men also said they would only drop the belts by a screw job ending. The plan was to have Luger and Giant win the belts all along but Hall and Nash didn't want to drop the titles because in their minds they wouldn't be used right in the singles division since they can't go anywhere near the World Championship. Eventually they were talked into dropping the titles but they wanted to lose it by interference so they wouldn't look bad.... Right now many in the back don't really like Hall or Nash due to them refusing to job so many times during their short WCW run. And to make matters even worse they have one of their old WWF friends as a writer in the back.

Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker has announced that he has found religion and is a changed man, Congratulations to him.

WCW has been showing some interest in Ultimate Warrior, Warrior is currently a free agent and it's very unlikely that he'll be going back to the World Wrestling Federation anytime soon due to his disputes with Vince McMahon last year. Warrior hasn't had much contact with WCW but he said if given the right amount of money he could work something out, If Ultimate Warrior does come to WCW it'll be a huge blow to the WWF since they are already losing in star power to WCW.

Taka Michinoku has signed with World Championship Wrestling one week ago, WCW kept the news from leaking out until last night at Superbrawl VII. Taka Michinoku has at the show backstage and had said to have had a good time, Michinoku's contract is for around $145,000 for two years! Michinoku is already expected to debut this month, It isn't known if he'll wrestle on Monday Nitro tonight or next week. Many fans who followed Michinoku's career in Japan have been dreaming for one of the major promotions to sign this talented young man, WCW was the best place for Michinoku to come due to the Cruiserweight division. Many fans are already dreaming of the possible Michinoku/Rey Mysterio Jr. matches or Ultimo Dragon/Taka Michinoku etc.

[Jam]

The major problem I notice with Heweys diaries are the links to reality. Although on a number of matters he goes off on his own route, there are occasions where he goes too similar to real life, whether it be Austin/Hart feud, Disciple coming in or what have you. Other than that he is an excellent writer and the execution of how he delivers things is brilliant

[Nottavictim]

I was marking out for the return of Arn Anderson, bad back or no. The PPV was well-detailed and had everything, except for a 8-man cruiserweight match or something. I can see Piper wanting a cage match now or something. Great job!

[Guest meripu1]

Yeah, i forgot to mention that i liked Andersons return, good work with that Hewey.

Good job bringing in TAKA, i think he'll fit in well.
