The Story.
I'll be starting on January 1st, 1996. The First RAW of 1996. I always enjoyed this era, and to me it's when I actually started paying attention to everything, I remember ordering Wrestlemania 12 in 1996 and seeing Rowdy Piper beatin the holy hell out of Goldust all over Anaheim, and Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart going to an incredible 60 Minutes Iron Man match. I remember everything that happened in the year 1996, and I always felt something was missing.. I'm going to fill that void. 1996 was also the year of Austin, we saw the return of the Warrior, and we saw him leave as well..
I would have to say that 1996 was my all time favorite wrestling era.
I hope you will enjoy this diary.
-KempAY!

Wrestling Newsline Tuesday, January 2nd, 1996
As the new year rolls in, it's time for the World Wrestling Federation to take out their garbage. The WWF has given one-month notices to a few WWF Superstars, and has announced that they will get a bonus payday after the Royal Rumble PPV. In order to get the bonus Payday, they are to work the Royal Rumble match, and after that they're free to sign with the Rivals, WCW or ECW.
The Following Wrestlers are Tatanka, the WWF has felt that his gimmick has long...outran his course, and has been stale. It's not rumored that Tatanka could make a change though. The Goon, another WWF Glorifed Jobber will accept the Bonus Payday.
The Biggest Surprise who accepted the Bonus Payday along with his release is Savio Vegas. Savio Vegas is currently in a storyline with Ted DiBiase. It looks like we know that Savio Vegas will lose at the Royal Rumble against Ted DiBiase's replacement.
In Other News
Extreme Championship Wrestling has announced that they got an backer to support ECW with its debts and more. Since announcing the big news, Paul Heyman has locked down many ECW wrestlers, such as Taz, Sabu, RVD, Lance Storm, Tommy Dreamer, Shane Douglas, and The Sandman. In order to keep their Main Eventers there, they had to sign them to Written Contracts.
Rumors
Raven who wasn't even offered a written contract by Extreme Championship Wrestling, has been said to be furious by Paul Heyman. Raven may be thinking about jumping ship to either WCW or WWF.
The WWF is interested in signing Steve Williams, and has been heavily recommended by Jim Ross. The WWF has sent their Scouting Agents down to Philly to check out Williams in ECW Action.
Rick Rude is unhappy remaining in ECW, and feel that he should return to the World Wrestling Federation for one last run. Although his career is over, he is training hard enough to get back into the ring.
The WWF News
The World Wrestling Federation has signed Curt Hennig aka Mr. Perfect, and it's still up in the air what kind of role will he play in the New Generation. He's expected to be on TV before Wrestlemania, or shortly after Wrestlemania.
The WWF has not contracted the Ultimate Warrior, and IS NOT interested in signing him.
WCW News
WCW has released some of their Roster today...
The Following Wrestlers were... Prince Iaukea, Ace Darling, Robby Rage, Kenny Kaos, Psicosis... Surprising many fans, about the release of Psicosis since WCW is famous for their Cruiserweight Division.
It appears that the WWF is interested in signing Robby Rage and Kenny Kaos to beef up the Tag Team Division.
WCW also has contracts disputes with Disco Inferno, Stevie Ray, and the Barbarian.. To point out the fact that Stevie Ray and The Barbarian are half of Tag Teams, and Stevie Ray is part of the famous Harlem Heat.
More Random News
UFC Fighter, Ken Shamrock has expressed interest in working for the World Wrestling Federation or its rival, World Championship Wrestling. The WWF is also interested in the UFC Fighter, and has scheduled meetings with Ken Shamrock.
The Steiner Brothers has returned from Japan, and is looking to sign with WCW, and hasnt expressed interest in signing with the World Wresting Federation. If Scott signs with the WWF, Rick will sign with the WWF regardless. They're one of the most popular tag teams in the World.
Good News for Road Warriors Fans, The Road Warriors are scheduled to be on Monday Night Nitro in a couple of weeks, not knowing who they will face though.
Crush aka Brian Adams is returning to the WWF with a new gimmick, hopefully working out this time around. The WWF is highly on Clarke, hoping that this time around that they can push him to the next level. Crush was famous for being part of the Demolition, teaming with Smash and Axe.

Wrestling Newsline Sunday, January 7th, 1996
New Signings
The WWF has officially signed Robby Rage and Kenny Kaos, and will be appearing as soon as the Royal Rumble, even before the Rumble. The WWF has been trying to beef up the Tag Team Division, and with these signings, it's getting beefed up.
The WWF has expressed interest in signing the ever so popular Steiners Brothers as well. They're looking at "The Bruise Brothers" formerly known as The Blu Brothers, Ron and Don Harris. If the WWF's going to sign The "Bruise Brothers", they will most likely go to USWA or Extreme Championship Wrestling to work on their skills.
Another Signing, the WWF has signed Bryan Clarke, who did work for the WWF under the alias 'Adam Bomb', it's not certain if he will return under the alias "Adam Bomb" or use his own real name, Bryan Clarke.
The Rumors
The WWF is so into beefing their Tag Team Division up, they are even going to try and sign Bam Bam Bigelow to team him up with Sid.
Ahmed Johnson's Hand Injury fake? It has been reported that Ahmed Johnson doesn't want to work with Double J at all, and infact made up the story.. Take this with a grain of salt since Ahmed Johnson was seen wearing a sling.
The Rumors are flying like crazy since Mr. Perfect is scheduled to show up on Monday Night RAW tomorrow night in the Main Event of Razor Ramon/Bret Hart against Goldust/The Kid. We know that Mr. Perfect was going to appear on Monday Night RAW before Wrestlemania, but it seems too early for Perfect to appear.

Wrestling Newsline Monday January 8th, 1996
WWF News
The WWF has released the Royal Rumble Poster to the Public. Royal Rumble is to take place on January 21st on PPV. Look below for the Royal Rumble Poster
The Rumors
Reports are flying around that Bam Bam Bigelow is backstage at RAW tonight, it's not certain if he did indeed signed a contract with the WWF, or just visiting since RAW is in New Jeresy tonight.
More News on Raven being unhappy in Philly, ever since Paul Heyman DID not offer Raven a long-term written contract... Raven is undoubtly contacting his friends in WWF and WCW about getting meetings with both companies to discuss the future of Raven. Paul Heyman has reported that Raven is happy and is staying in ECW. Heyman also reported that the reason why Raven did not get a written contract, is that he thinks that Raven should be an Main Event Player in WCW or WWF. It seems unlikely for Heyman to say that about his own Wrestlers.
Well, in a couple of months it will be Wrestlemania.. The Biggest Wrestlemania Rumor about the Main Event is Bret Hart Vs Shawn Michaels, then again anything could happen between now and then. The WWF is looking to push Shawn Michaels, but since we all know about the real life heated fued between Hart and Michaels.
