Folks, It was September 2005, at 14 years of age, when I posted the first episode of WWAF Monday Night Collision. It was abysmal but I was hooked: I became a full-fledged Fantasy Booker. The hobby would slip away from me, sadly, as real life increasingly stood in the way of writing. My last major project was posted on October 23, 2013. Now, nearly 8 years later, I present to you: WCW Monday Nitro #43! Please click HERE to read the show! I would really, really appreciate any and all feedback! If you read anything - even if it isn't the whole show - please tell me what you thought! |

Loved this!
It’s so 1996 WCW, the promos and commentary are spot on, very believable.
Really hope Glacier is used better in your fed, I was such a mark for Glacier when I was a kid LOL absolute crape I know but I loved it.
No idea who Ronan Flory is, that confused the hell outta me.
Nasty Boyz nWo tease? I think The Outsiders would possibly batter them if they tried to join them.
Loved Bobby taking a shot at Jim Powers, poor guy.
Bloody Hell, Ronan’s finisher name 😐 intrigued to see what you do with this guy!
Outsiders behaving very outsider-like, think Hogan/Savage is a better match for Hog Wild.
Overall a great start, very WCW for this time period with the promos, the interviews just spot on. I think the format suits this very well, hoping matches are slightly longer for PPV? Not excessively though. You’re very good at mixing commentary in matches, something I’ve always struggled with and I always decide not to do in my feds. This is great though, keep this going......if Glacier doesn’t win the World Championship I’ll riot.....

This is great though, keep this going......if Glacier doesn’t win the World Championship I’ll riot..... Thank you so much for your review! I really do appreciate it. - I appreciate your comment on the promos and commentary. I tried really hard to emulate how things were back in the day and I hope it comes across as authentic.
- I think Glacier will be used a bit differently but he's likely not going to be a major player (but doesn't mean he won't get to do cool stuff!)
- I explained the origin of Ronan Flory in my Official Thread. I'll make it more visilbe here in case any one didn't see it: I have decided that Chris Benoit does not exist in this timeline. While I strive to be as historically accurate as possible (i.e. using all of the talent that actually wrestled in WWF/WCW during this time period), I could not use Benoit in good conscience. Since Benoit was such a significant figure in the real timeline, I have decided to replace him with a fictional character named Ronan Flory. Ironically nicknamed "The Darlin' of Dublin", Flory stands at 6'1 and weighs 195lbs. He has brown hair, clean shaven, and is actually quite handsome - but his attitude rubs everyone the wrong way. He's brash and cocky
- I have something really fun planned for the Nasty Boys but...plans change? So who knows
- I have to plead ignorance on the naming of Flory's finisher. I didn't realize the history of it and, while it may fit the late 90s tone, the name of the finisher WILL be changed
- Outsiders will have a big part of Hog Wild
- Pay Per Views will be formatted similarly but I may write out the actual finishes of each match

Very clever with Ronan Flory now that I get what you’ve done. Fair enough that you don’t wanna use Benoit. |

Schiavone and the Living Legend Zybsko. Great choices. Schiavone is criminally underrated and Zybsko is just essential to history.

Barely remember the announcers. But from the "Misterio" you immediately have nostalgia.
Unfortunately only got to read two matches. Rey Misterio v Dean Malenko was very good. You wrote a compelling match. Eddie v Psychosis was also decent.
The only thing I disliked was that the first match was fully fleshed out and written, and the second I read was a summary. That seems to be the only match you did it in, and it would've probably been my favorite, as I am a huge fan of cruiserweights, and those two in specific.
Hopefully, I'll get to read the rest soon.

Being that it's pretty timely to discuss the formation of the nWo at the Bash at the Beach I have to say I don't see any fantasy booker removing or changing that event in anyway. The announcers might play like they hated the Outsiders and Hogan teaming up, but that was such a time to be a wrestling fan.
