Happy to see it. I actually enjoyed Battlebowl 1991 back when I watched it.

WCW kicks off the new year with a bang, and a new show!Starting January 4th, The Flagship World Championship Wrestling Show will now be WCW Saturday Night! Coming to you each and every week, this new show will feature celebrity guests, the best in WCW action, and every week, a two out of three fall main event match that you would normally only see on a Clash of the Champions or Pay Per View event. For the first event, you will see Sting, who just won BattleBowl, take on a former friend and member of the Dangerous Alliance, "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton! (Originally the show didn't rebrand until May, but I have a better feel for this format compared to the old World Championship Wrestling, so I'm doing it earlier)

I was always a big fan of Liger, & Pillman's stuff around this time in WCW. It'd be great if you could bring in some more Light Heavyweights for the division to really go somewhere. Muta vs Pillman please!

Not a massive follower of old school diaries and this isn't a time scale I know well of but I'm willing to give this a read and reply if you keep this up. I must echo Hammers statement as I'd love to see some lightweight action and maybe some guys signing from ECW/indys. Good luck and keep this up.

WCW World Wide Wrestling Week of 1-4-92 Bill Kazmaier defeats Dave Sierra with the Full Nelson. The Patriots defeat Bob Cook and Larry Santo with a Fireman's Carry. Ron Simmons defeats Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker with a Spinebuster. Mr. Hughes defeats Pez Whatley with a Sidewalk Slam. Steve Austin and the Z-Man compete to a time limit draw. Steve Austin retains the WCW World Television Title. WCW Saturday Night 1-4-92 The show opens with Jim Ross, who introduces special guest cohost, former NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Dusty Rhodes! They talk about tonight's big main event, Sting vs. Bobby Eaton, 2/3 Falls, and go to pre-recorded comments from each! Sting tells Eaton that he used to consider him a friend, but he sold his soul when he joined the Dangerous Alliance, so tonight, 2/3 Falls, he will pay for what he's done. Eaton and Dangerously tell Sting that he's what's wrong with this company, all he does is pander, but when it comes to what goes on in that ring, he can't compete with a true master like Beautiful Bobby! The Diamond Studd defeats Jason Knight with the Diamond Death Drop. Studd was just too big and too fast for Knight. The Young Pistols defeat Bob Cook and Larry Santo with a Double Dropkick. Cook and Santo might be battle tested veterans, but they were no match for the Pistols speed and craftyness. Ross and Rhodes introduce Rick Rude, who comes out and takes some questions from the crowd. He says that he deserves to be #1 contender to the World Title, and that being a World Champion is why he came to WCW. He will take out anybody in his way to achieve this goal. The York Foundation defeat the Fabulous Freebirds with a Figure Four. The Freebirds appeared to have this in hand, but it was the numbers game, when Thomas Rich and Mr. Hughes got involved, with a Hughes chairshot on Michael Hayes being particularly damaging, allowing Morton and Taylor to pick up the cheap, tainted win. The Foundation attacked the Freebirds 4 on 2 after the match, but Flyin' Brian and the Z-Man hit the ring and made the save! The Steiner Brothers defeat The Sierras with a Frankensteiner. The Steiner Brothers showed why they are one of the best teams in the company, just taking apart the Cubans for the win. Van Hammer defeats Rip Rogers with a Slingshot Suplex. The big heavy metal rocker puts away Rogers with ease. Eric Bischoff is with the WCW Magazine. He announces the first three matches for the upcoming Clash of the Champions... the main event will be an elimination six man tag team match, as US Champion Ravishing Rick Rude, "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton, and Arn Anderson face Sting and the WCW World Tag Team Champions Dustin Rhodes and Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat. There will also be two title matches, as "Stunning" Steve Austin defends the title against Barry Windham, and Jushin "Thunder" Liger will make his first defense of the Light Heavyweight Title as he faces second generation superstar Joe Malenko! Big Van Vader defeats the State Patrol with a Power Bomb. The Mastadon just destroys the two crooked cops who have no idea what they were in for. Sting defeats Bobby Eaton two falls to one. Eaton took advantage the first round, with Dangerously running interference, he was able to target Sting's injured knee, and after a clip, he was able to hit an Alabama Jam and pick up the fall. Eaton stayed on Sting and tried to pick up the win early on, but couldn't put him away. Sting countered a suplex with a small package, and was able to pick up the second fall, but it still felt like Eaton was in the advantage, being all tied up, but Sting is still having a hard time moving on that knee. However, the roar of the Atlanta crowd rallied Sting, and he was able to hit a Stinger Splash, and lock on the Scorpion Death Lock in the middle of the ring, where Dangerously could not get involved, and Eaton had no choice but to give up. As Sting celebrated, Rick Rude hit the ring and attacked him from behind, hitting the Rude Awakening, and then grabbed a mic and said that come Clash of the Champions, he's going to prove just who is the rightful #1 contender for the World Title. Ross and Rhodes thank the fans for watching the show, and then advertise next week's main event, two out of three falls, "Flyin'" Brian Pillman will face "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson! In prerecorded comments from each, both men promised victory. WCW Main Event 1-5-92 Dustin Rhodes defeats Thomas Rich with the Bulldog. Cactus Jack defeats Brad Armstrong with a Double Arm DDT. Junkyard Dog and Ron Simmons defeat George South and the Italian Stallion. The Enforcers defeat Big Josh and P.N. News with the Spinebuster.

<3 Stuffs
As always pretty solid stuff from you. The Clash card is looking good already. Already really digging Rick Rude in this, his promo and post match assault was great and the feud between him and Sting should be great. Also liked the build up for Sting/Eaton and then the match told a good story. You obviously know your stuff and your booking and storytelling is always top notch.
Keep it up man.

A Sting/Eaton main event is a good one to start off the diary, I think. Plus, it's two out of three falls! Yes!
I'm hoping that Rick Rude does actually win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship much sooner than he actually did in WCW. Plus, I hope you keep the Dangerous Alliance together for a long time. That group was just incredible. I know I'm getting a little bit ahead of myself, but a Dangerous Alliance/Four Horsemen feud in 1993 would be insane. A man can dream..
Anyway, the squashes seemed to be fine to me. Diamond Studd should get a push as he was a good young talent for WCW that never used him right.
The main event was a fine match and the post match stuff with Rude was expected and needed. It was a standard show, really. Next week's episode looks to have a damn good match as well. Keep it up!

WCW World Wide Wrestling Week of 1-11-92 Brian Pillman defeats Rooster Cogburn with the Air Pillman. PN News and Van Hammer defeat George South and The Italian Stallion with the Rapmaster Splash. Sting defeats Barry Hardy with the Scorpion Deathlock. Junkyard Dog defeats Reno Riggins with a Headbutt. Cactus Jack defeats Big Josh with the Double Arm DDT. WCW Saturday Night 1-11-92 Jim Ross welcomes the audience to the show, and then introduces his special guest cohost. The all time home run king, it is none other than Hank Aaron! They talk a little about Aaron's career and importance to Atlanta, and Ross asks him about the Braves this year. They promote tonight's show, including tonight's big two out of three fall main event, Arn Anderson against Brian Pillman. Now let's go to pre-recorded comments from each. Pillman says that he's never been the biggest dog in the fight but it's always taken a lot to get him down. Arn Anderson had better not overlook him, because he's coming at him with everything he's got. Anderson says that Pillman can fly all over the ring, but Anderson doesn't do that. He's The Enforcer for a reason, and that's because he hits hard, and tonight he's going to hit harder than Pillman can handle. The York Foundation defeats Barry Hardy, Reno Riggins, Rip Rogers, and Larry Santo with a Sidewalk Slam. The Foundation are teaming up in preparation for Clash of the Champions, where they will be facing the Freebirds, Brian Pillman and the Z-Man in eight man tag team action! In this tune up, the computer techniques must have worked because Hardy, Riggins, Rogers, and Santo were no match for this group. Joe Malenko defeats Frankie DeFalco with a Gutwrench Suplex. Malenko made his WCW debut while the announcers hyped his credentials leading to his match with Liger at the Clash. He is a second generation star, son of the great Boris Malenko who has largely made his name in the land of the Rising Son. A mat technician who Liger had better not overlook. He hits a big Gutwrench and gets the pin on DeFalco. Eric Bischoff, with the WCW Magazine, shows what happened last week on Saturday Night, when Rick Rude declared his intention to be the number one contender and then attacked Sting after his win over Beautiful Bobby. At the Clash of the Champions, the man who will be the number one contender will be revealed. In addition to the four great matches already announced, The Steiner Brothers will face the current IWGP Tag Team Champions, Hiroshi Hase and The Great Muta! You will recall that the Steiners were never beaten for the titles but lost them when Scott Steiner was injured. This will be a non-title match but a win would surely put the Steiners back in the driver's seat for a title opportunity in the land of the rising sun. There will also be a US Tag Team Title Match, as the Young Pistols will defend against the former champions, the Patriots! There will be a ten man battle royal involving some of WCW's brightest stars! Finally, just announced, Cactus Jack will face his arch nemesis Heavy Metal Van Hammer! Big Van Vader defeats Pez Whatley with a Power Bomb. Vader puts Whatley away in under two minutes, although from his domination, he could have done it in about ten seconds. Diamond Studd defeats Johnny B. Badd with a Diamond Death Drop. Badd showed a lot of fire, but the difference in size and strength was just too much to stand, as the big man got the win the DDD. The Steiner Brothers defeat the State Patrol with the Frankensteiner. The Steiner Brothers definitely seemed ready for their announced match with the IWGP Tag Team Champions, and the State Patrol just stood no chance here. Barry Windham comes out for an interview, where he addresses his wrist injury and his TV Title Opportunity at the Clash. He is interrupted by Paul E. Dangerously, who says he has an offer for him that he can't refuse... a spot in the Dangerous Alliance. Windham spends all of his time now kissing up to the fans, but has it gotten him any closer to his goals? No. He's just been a loser the fans cheer for, a "hero". When he was a Horseman, when he was part of an elite group, he was on top of the wrestling world and he could do it again in the Alliance. Windham interrupts him and tells him that when he was a Horseman, he was never his own man, he was always in the Shadows, and since he left them, he promised to never be in the shadows again. So Dangerously can take his offer and stick it somewhere real uncomfortable! The crowd goes nuts at this rejection, but the Alliance doesn't take it very well, as they attack Windham! They swarm, take him down, and stomp on that wrist, clearly trying to hurt him before his title match, but Sting makes the save with a steel chair! Rick Rude defeats Denny Brown with the Rude Awakening. Rude, feeling very proud of himself after the Windham attack, asks the "Georgia sweat hogs" to keep quiet and let the ladies appreciate what a real number one contender looks like. The match that followed was largely academic. Ricky Steamboat and Dustin Rhodes defeats the Sierras with a Cross Body Block. The World Tag Team Champions showed that they look like a team that can take on all comers by beating the Cubans handily. Arn Anderson defeats Brian Pillman two falls to zero. In the first fall, Anderson took to grounding Flyin' Brian, focusing on his legs. Pillman fought back, definitely not above scrapping, but after a missed flying clothesline, Anderson was able to clip the knee. As Pillman struggled, Anderson hit a big DDT for the fall. Anderson didn't allow Pillman to catch a break, attacking him between falls, trying to injure that knee further. Pillman fought back as the bell sounded for fall two, and the adrenaline had him feeling good. He hit a big dropkick, and without wincing, went to climb the rope for a big cross body block. However, on the top rope, his knee buckled, and he fell to the mat. As he made it to his feet, Anderson wrapped him up in a small package, and with a big hand on Pillman's tights, got the second consecutive fall and the match! Ross and Aaron, back at Center Stage, advertise next week's main event, where, in two out of three falls action, the maniacal Cactus Jack will face The All American Ron Simmons. In pre-recorded comments, Simmons said that he would come on top, while Jack simply promised pain! WCW Main Event 1-12-92 Larry Zbyszko defeats the Z-Man with a Brainbuster. The Patriots defeat the State Patrol with a Powerslam. Dan Spivey defeats the Junkyard Dog with a Power Bomb. Steve Austin defeats Marcus Alexander Bagwell with the Stun Gun.

I really enjoyed Saturday Night. I've been watching some of the 1992 episodes, and you really did a great job at getting all the segments they would normally air and made them interesting. I especially liked the Windham promo. It was just well written, in my opinion. I'm actually glad to see that Anderson won both falls. I'm hoping that he gets a strong push in this. I like the teasing of a Rude/Sting issue. I'm figuring that Sting will get the title shot and quickly go into a feud with Rude. But, I wouldn't be opposed to having Sting feud with someone else before Rude as well. Anyway, this is really a good start to this diary, man. Clash of the Champions is a stacked card too!

WCW Worldwide: Saturday 4th January 1992...It's been a while since I watched classic WCW Worldwide, so give me some time to adjust. Bill Kazmaier I have no recollection of, but his finisher is the Full Nelson, that's the only information I have, maybe use that as a major part of his character. The Patriots were baaaaad, but they were pretty popular with the younger demographic audience. Ron Simmons definitely has the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in his eyes, and I await him to make a rise through the ranks in the near future. Curtis Hughes, oh dear. When did Vinnie Vegas debut? I believe they had an alliance of sorts. Steve Austin and the Z-Man fighting to the time limit was a great idea to close the show, leaving us both in suspense, making Tom Zenk look stronger, and letting us know that Austin is the cowardly WCW World Television Champion. Good work, realistic and crisp show.
WCW Saturday Night: Saturday 4th January 1992...I was disappointed that I never got to see any episodes of Saturday Night in its primer days. I'm looking forward to Sting and Bobby Eaton, I see Sting has started a feud up with the Dangerous Alliance. Loved Paul E Dangerously and Eaton just being blunt with the truth to Sting's popularity. The Young Pistols with the tag team win was a nice call. Rick Rude's promo was pretty straight to the point, that he wants the next WCW World Heavyweight Champion in the ring for the belt. This sort of just sets Lex Luger up to predictably drop the belt to Sting. The York Foundation were so badass, I remember that. Nice win for them against the Fabulous Freebirds, good work here. Brian Pillman and Tom Zenk with the save was a nice added touch, too. The Steiner Brothers proved their dominance of the tag team division with their win. Van Hammer with a win was fine, it's a pretty cool gimmick for him to do in the year 1992. It simply established his character, although I doubt we'll see him with too much fame in the future. Ah, a young Eric Bischoff. Good way to run down the card for the Clash of the Champions; that six man tag team elimination match sounds stacked. Steve Austin defending the WCW World Television Championship against Barry Windham? I wonder if the Z-Man will get another opportunity. Joe Malenko eh? Maybe he will shortly be joined by Dean. The WCW World Light Heavyweight Championship had so much potential. I don't see Jushin Liger sticking around too long, so that will be interesting. I have never seen Joe compete either, by the way. And lastly, great win for Sting over Bobby Eaton in two out of three falls. Rick Rude's involvement was interesting. Overall, it was a good show for what it was, promoting the upcoming TV special. What I dislike about this Rick Rude business is he's talking about getting a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, making his own WCW United States Heavyweight Championship look bad. Looking forward to Brian Pillman facing Arn Anderson next week anyway.
WCW Main Event: Sunday 5th January 1992...I forgot about this show haha. Dustin Rhodes with a win was fine. Cactus Jack's still around? I'd love to see you continue the Cactus Jack and Abdullah the Butcher rivalry they jumpstarted again at Starrcade: Battlebowl. The Junkyard Dog and Ron Simmons with a win in tag team action was nice, oddball combination though. I hope JYD can cut it in World Championship Wrestling, he deserved a title run. Any title, too. The Enforcers with a win in the main event against Big Josh and PN News was fine, but Arn Anderson and Larry Zbyszko were unfortunately ending their partnership around this time, so it'll be interesting if this alliance continues. Not a bad starter week for WCW.

I find it interesting you're bringing in Joe Malenko during this time, seeing as Dean was wider known, albeit later on. I thought his match with Liger was essentially going to be the SuperBrawl II match, but I just re-checked and saw it was for the Clash. It'll be interesting to see if you stick with history, or lengthen the feud into SuperBrawl II. Either way, I look forward to it.

You always do a good job of capturing the characters and feel of a show. From the short promos hyping the main event to the great Windham/Paul E. segment to the main event and the story of Double A focusing on the legs and not letting Pillman rest up in between falls. Interesting to see what route you go down with Joe Malenko as well, whether it's the Malenko brothers route or him as a singles competitor. Not a whole lot to complain about, your shows have done a solid job of building up the Clash card, hopefully we see some more development of other characters as the shows right now have really only focused on the same 4 characters and feuds. But overall great stuff as always and hopefully you stick around to keep this going for a while.

WCW World Wide Wrestling Week of 1-18-92 The Fabulous Freebirds and Marcus Alexander Bagwell defeat The Sierras and Rooster Cogburn with a Yellowjacket Suplex. PN News defeats Barry Hardy with the Broken Record. Big Van Vader defeats Brad Armstrong with a vader Bomb. The Diamond Exchange defeat Reno Riggins and Rip Rogers with a Diamond Death Drop. The Steiner Brothers defeat Dan Spivey and The Nightstalker with a Top Rope Bulldog. WCW Saturday Night 1-18-92 Jim Ross opens the show and introduces his special guest co-host, former NWA United States Champion Magnum TA! They talk about today's big episode of WCW Saturday Night, just days away from Clash of the Champions! Tonight we will see "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes take on Larry "The Cruncher" Zbyzsko, The Z-Man face "The Computerized Man of the 1990s" Terrence Taylor, and our big main event, in two out of three falls action, "The All American" Ron Simmons will face the madman from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, Cactus Jack! Let's go to pre-recorded comments from each! Ron Simmons says that you never know what to think when you enter war with a psycho, but as crazy as Cactus Jack is, Simmons is still bigger and stronger and it will come through in two out of three falls. Cactus Jack says that it doesn't matter how big someone is, how many muscles they have, how many pushups they can do, because when he knocks them down, jumps off the apron and delivers the elbow on the floor, and hits them with the Double Arm DDT, they're all the same size, they're all the same strength... Bang Bang! Abdullah the Butcher defeats Jason Knight with a big elbowdrop. The Madman from the Sudan might not move around like he used to, but he was strong enough to finish off Jason Knight. The Z-Man defeats Terrence Taylor with the Sleeperhold. It was Alexandra York and her computer who made the difference here, although not in the way she'd hoped. As she went to hit Zenk with the computer, he ducked, and she ended up nailing Taylor in the face with the thing! The Z-Man was able to lock on a sleeper and there was no way Taylor was able to get out! After the match, Taylor berated her and walked away as she apologized! What does this do for Team York Foundation at the Clash? And now, Eric Bischoff with WCW Magazine. The Clash of the Champions is just days away, and the big question is, just who will be named the next contender for Lex Luger's WCW Title? With prerecorded comments, the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Luger says it doesn't matter who is put in front of him, because he'll just defeat them, one after the other, like he has everyone else who has challenged him for what is rightfully his, the WCW World Heavyweight Title. Bischoff goes over the full announced card and announces the breaking news, that making his debut at Clash of the Champions will be Jesse "The Body" Ventura! The Body is coming to the company that is making all the moves in professional wrestling! Bischoff runs down the final card for the Clash of the Champions and sends it back to Ross and Magnum TA! Big Josh defeats Larry Santo with the Northern Exposure. The lumberjack from the Northwoods was too much for Larry Santo to handle, and he dispatched him with little struggle. Barry Windham is interviewed from his home after what happened last week. He says that in the attack, the healing fracture in his wrist reaggrivated itself. He knows he will not be 100% at the Clash of the Champions, but even if he has to tape up his entire arm, he will be there and ready to fight, and he will win the World Television Title. Dustin Rhodes defeats Larry Zbyszko with the Bulldog. The Cruncher here tried to take advantage early by grounding "The Natural". However, the youngster was able to keep the Living Legend on his toes, and when Paul E. Dangerously tried to interfere, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat came down and kept the fight fair. In this confusion, Zbyszko actually hit the Brain Buster and thought he had the match won, but Rhodes was able to kick out with the extra few seconds of rest, and then hit the Bulldog for the win! Arn Anderson and Bobby Eaton defeat George South and the Italian Stallion with the Alabama Jam. The new tag team du-jour of the Dangerous Alliance made quick work of South and Stallion, finishing off Stallion with a Spinebuster which put him in perfect position for Eaton's Alabama Jam. A video played, highlighting the tag team of Hiro Hase and the Great Muta, showing them both to be excellent technical wrestlers, and ending with them celebrating with the IWGP Tag Team Titles. Ross and TA put over what a strong test it is going to be for the Steiner Brothers at the Clash of the Champions. The Rock n Rap Connection defeat Reno Riggins and Rip Rogers with the Smash Hit. Van Hammer and PN News, teaming as the Rock n Rap Connection for the first time, easily defeat Riggins and Rogers, finishing them off with a version of the Rocket Launcher, with Hammer launching News off the top rope, called the Smash Hit. Ron Simmons defeats Cactus Jack two falls to one. Cactus Jack actually took a unique approach to the match, voluntarily going down one fall when he grabbed a chair and took it to Simmons! He then used the time between falls to throw Simmons out, hit his big elbowdrop off the apron, and when the bell sounded again, Simmons was counted out, tieing things up! Jack jumped The All American as he reentered the ring, trying to put him away for good. He goes for the Double Arm DDT, but Simmons is strong enough to counter it with a backdrop! Jack charges him, but Simmons is quick enough to hit the Spinebuster before Jack can do anything, and it takes the wind out of the Madman enough for Ron Simmons to pick up the win! Ross and TA thank everyone for watching and advertise that next week, results from Clash of the Champions and, in the main event, for the WCW World Tag Team Titles, Dustin Rhodes and Ricky Steamboat will defend the titles against Arn Anderson and Beautiful Bobby Eaton in two out of three fall action! WCW Main Event 1-19-92 Ricky Steamboat defeats Johnny B. Badd with the Flying Cross Body. Steve Austin defeats Brad Armstrong with the Stun Gun. Rick Rude defeats Pez Whatley with the Rude Awakening. Sting and Brian Pillman defeat Thomas Rich and Richard Morton with the Scorpion Death Lock.
