[Guest 72recreMoreZ]

who ever said WCW MADE STING WHAT HE IS TODAy

Are you on crack? Not to be mean or anything but Sting MADE WCW. If it wasnt for STING, WCW would of went down faster. Sting was already a freaking Legend from NWA and his famous battles with Ric Flair. Two Wrestlers made WCW. Ric Flair and Sting and that is why WCW was great and that is the reason the last match WCW ever had was STing and Flair in one of the greatest matchs of all time.

Not wrestling wise but Respect and memery wise. Nobody will forget that match,.

STING WAS NOT MADE BY WCW, WCW WAS HELPED CRAFTED BY STING!

[cactusguy]

Keep up the good work, Hewey. I really like your work. I have faith that you will make WCW better like you did with WWF 95-96 (even though I got lost after a while).

I like how you are limiting nWo.

IMO, RVD works good in wCw. I put him in my WCW games all the time. He works well with the cruisers.

[cjt4ever]

Hey man, I havn't been on the net in a few days and had to catch up with reading the diary. So far I'm really digging it. keep up the good work.

[Guest meripu1]

OK, sorry, i thought you were referring to me.

I agree though, lets not turn this into a WCW debate and detract from the excellent work that Hewey is doing.

[Steveio]

Guys he means WCW created the "Crow" Sting.

[Guest meripu1]

lol, true

[Guest Small Blue]

Seriously, I was linked to Page 6 of this diary - and I thought 'What the fuck, it's a diary?' My point being is, that most of the posts bar a few were just arguing about WCW. If this goes on much longer by just postwhoring (some aren't...geniune discussion) then I will take out the warning stick.

Stick to talking about the Diary in here.

WCW Discussion in The Ring.

TGC.

[TGC]

Errrr....wow, I get around.

I was going to start the warnings now, but...errr....apparently I already verbally warned the lot of you, so..err...yeah.

This is, however the kind of shit that I HATE about a Baby Hewey Diary. Do half of you that I or VR have ALREADY WARNED in here really want more?

TGC...I think

[Guest meripu1]

I havent been warned and i did try to stop the arguing but it has continued anyway.

Any idea when youre next show will be up Hewey?

Piper if you think you have the advantage at Superbrawl VII then you're wrong!

You think you're at a advantage come Superbrawl VII but Hollywood has a big surprise for you brother! You WILL NOT walk out of Superbrawl VII with the WCW World Championship Piper, I will beat you and show to all these people why Hollywood Hogan is the only icon in the wrestling business!

Edited June 3, 2004 by Baby Hewey

[Guest meripu1]

Oh, ages to wait. Damn your busy schedule Hewey!

Oh well, looks like a good card and i sure the buildup to Superbrawl will be continued.

[gunnar hendershow]

Been awhile since I commented, but let me say that your build to Superbrawl has been great and that I love the way your diary is shaping up. In a few months (Game time) you might have developed WCW really well.

[cjt4ever]

Seems like Super Brawl will be a good show, just wish Jericho was on it....*cough cough*.

Seriously though, good WCW PPV card IMO. Hogan will win definatly if this diary is going to stay realistic as I don't see Hogan putting over his long tme rival Piper.

[Guest meripu1]

No, i dont think Hogan will lose to the Hot Rod.

Would be good to see jericho on PPV...
