A really, really good PPV, those graphics are the sex, really well written out. The Funk Brothers going over was good as was Mistico & Ultimo, really really pleased your pushing Shawn Spears and your going about it well, liked that Smith defeated Heidenreich and hope you push him as a monster killer, I sorta wished Luger would've won, Claudio retaining was definantely the right move and really wanna see a Claudio/Spears feud, but really don't wanna see a Steiner/Bagwell feud. Elijah again is probably the best man to win that match and am hoping you push him as well. Now the only real downside to me was the main event. It had been built up well but I still don't feel what eveyone would still see as jobber boy ending the career of DDP, and then Page crying although it was a nice show of respect it would've been better if it was somebody else, again it was still a really good show looking forward to more.

I'm so glad that you kept the title on Basham, DDP is boring.. :-D and YES Burke won the Ladder match, just who I wanted to win. I'm glad that you didn't go with Bagwell winnin the TV Title, and shouldn't the TV Title be defended on TV instead of PPVs? Just a future suggestion.

Great show, I enjoyed it a lot. Very happy to see Harry get the win over Heidenreich. Also happy to see Basham get the win over DDP and the way you went with the ending. My only question is though, is Basham a face now or just a respect thing? Also very happy you had Burke take the win in the big ladder match. I don't have a bad word to say about that show, everything was perfect and very well written. Nicely done.

This looks awesome stuffs. Really well booked and set out. A strange choice in Basham for the title, but I'm sure you can make it work. Plus, imo, the revival of WCW would spark abit of interest and attract some bigger names then currently on the roster. Overall, it's just more superb work from you.
And I love your logos.

Ricky Banderas defeats Dustin Rhodes.- Surprisingly clean, Banderas hit the Frog Splash to pin Rhodes while Carlos Colon Jr. just stood on the outside and watched. After the match, Colon got in the match and got in Rhodes’ face and said the win at Slamboree was the last time a Texan ever pins a Boricua. (69%) - Yeah, yeah, what’s up? Next week, WCW meets the Neighborhoodie. He ain’t a nice guy, he ain’t afraid to run up on ya, he’s so trill WCW won’t know what hit ‘em. He wants something, he takes it. That’s the way the Neighborhoodie rolls. Holla! (70%) Mistico defeats Kid Kash.- Kash came out aggressive, but it hurt him in the long run because a mistake too many, followed by a La Mistica, and Mistico was still undefeated! (76%) Andrew Martin defeats Elix Skipper.- Not much of a match, as Skipper is a great competitor, but is giving up about 100 pounds and 7 inches to Martin, who was taking out his aggression over losing the Ladder match at Slamboree. A Test Drive and the match was over. (72%) Larry Sweeney is backstage, with Heidenreich. He said he’s never been as angered as he was at Slamboree, but because he’s tight with the new WCW President, he had Harry Smith suspended for touching him. Probably better for Smith anyways, because Singh’s going to be back next week. And they think their next goal should be the WCW World Tag Team Titles. (58%) Pete Gruner defeats P.J. Walker.- Walker just seemed outclassed in this one, as Gruner hit a Shooting Star Press early and got the pinfall. After the match, Syxx-Pac and Scott Hall berated Walker for losing so embarrassingly. (65%) Elijah Burke is on Miami Beach! He’s in a jewelry store, and asks for something flash, something with E.B., because he is young, dangerous, rich, and talented, and now he wants to look the part. He’s later on the beach, showing the piece off to any girl he passes, as well as being obnoxious. He suddenly gets a phone call, and starts talking to what appears to be his stock broker. (58%) Juventud Guerrera defeats Lance Storm.- An absolutely phenomenal match, that is an easy match of the year candidate already. Storm thought he had the victory after a big Superkick, but Juventud was too close to the ropes. After a later exchange, Juventud hit the Juve Driver and got what has to be an upset victory! (82%) We take a look at Shawn Spears. He’s been trying to make a name for himself in WCW. He’s pinned people he never dreamed he’d ever be in the ring against, but that’s not enough. He wants to make his name in WCW, to let the star that he always saw in himself come out, and let the world see it. Show everyone his honor, his pride, and his talent. (39%) Vicious and Delicious defeat Claudio Castagnoli and Rick Steiner.- After Rick Steiner inadvertently hit his client Double C with one of his patented Steinerlines, Scott Norton hit Castagnoli with a Power Bomb and pinned the World Television Champion! (67%) DDP is in the ring. He says that he never thought he’d have to walk away. That Doug Basham beat him fair and square, and he’s got nothing but the highest respect for doing so. He might not agree with the way Basham does things, but in the ring, he’s definitely shown he’s a worthy champion. But that’s not why he’s out here. While DDP gets to walk away, some people aren’t so lucky. One of the downsides about this business he loves, is it’s usually not too long in between hearing about friends passing on. Guys like Mike, Scott, Eddie, and Allen, men that he’s had nothing but the highest regard for. So he’s pushed for this, and he’s received it from WCW. This next month, ending at Bash at the Beach, there will be a 16 team tournament, the First Annual Fallen Brother Memorial Tag Team Tournament. During every show a tournament match that takes place, a portion of the proceeds will go into a fund that will help for things like funeral costs, scholarship funds for wrestler’s childrens, and day-to-day support for families who have lost their father, their husband. (70%)

Nice announcement by DDP, great idea and i can't wait for them matches. Shame about Harry Smith although Singh returning will be good. I like what you're doing with Burke, and i'm looking forward to how the card for Bash at the Beach turns out.

I'm liking the tag tournament idea a lot, and I'm loving the good mix of talent with guys like Smith, DDP, Mistico, Claudio, Sweeney, etc. all together wtih some older guys. Keep it up man.

Slaboree was great. Glad to see Basham win. The tag tourney should be good. Sucks about Smith, and Im thinking we could see PJ Walker getting kicked out of the Klique. I kinda hope so, since Walker doesnt really fit into that mold anyway I dont think.

The Neighborhoodie defeats Ultimo Dragon.- The ‘hoodie definitely looked impressive in his debut, putting away the much more established Ultimo cleanly with a big Powerslam. (55%) Larry Sweeney is out in the ring with his men, the Giant Singh and the Monster John Heidenreich. He says that everyone is looking at Team Sweet and Sour, the first Memorial Cup winners, and they’re about to show everyone why they’re huge and deadly. (56%) Fallen Brother Memorial Cup Round One:Team Sweet and Sour defeat the Klique.- Hall held his own when he was involved, but Syxx-Pac was way too small against these two monsters, and after a big Baba Chop from Singh, he stood on his chest for the pinfall while John Heidenreich held Hall at bay. Afterwards, P.J. Walker tried to jump Singh but was just thrown off and then given a big Tree Slam. (61%) Fallen Brother Memorial Cup Round One:Vicious and Delicious defeat Ken Doane and Kid Kash.- This was the first time Doane and Kash had ever teamed together, and it showed, as they were really no match for the much more experienced Vicious and Delicious. Buff hit the Blockbuster onto Doane and got the easy victory. After the match however, Claudio Castagnoli and Rick Steiner jumped them from behind, with Castagnoli hitting Bagwell with the Ricola Bomb and Steiner hitting Norton with the Top Rope Bulldog. (70%) Fallen Brother Memorial Cup Round One:Lance Storm and Elix Skipper defeat Los Fabulosos.- This was a quick and painless win for Storm and Skipper, as they just took apart El Dandy and Silver King, finishing Silver King off with Storm’s Canadian Maple Leaf. (68%) Fallen Brother Memorial Cup Round One:Claudio Castagnoli and Rick Steiner defeat Marty Jannetty and Shawn Spears.- Jannetty previously told WCW that he saw a lot in Spears and wanted to take him under his wing, but this was not a good starting off point. Castagnoli seemed to outwrestle everyone he was in the ring with, and Steiner just abused both Spears and Jannetty with some vicious shots, with it ending after a Top Rope Bulldog onto Marty. (48%) Elijah Burke is at the poker table in Vegas. He tells the waitress it’s always crackin’ when you’re young, talented, rich, and dangerous, and he certainly is. He mentions that he’s got investments all over the world, that he’s got the best stock broker in the world, and so money ain’t a thang, and if she’s interested, tonight, she could come up to his hotel room and have the Elijah Experience. She started to move away, but he pulled her back and put his hotel key into her back pocket before dropping a fat stack of money on the table. (56%) Cody Rhodes defeats Carlos Colon Jr.- An absolutely incredible upset, as the 21-year-old Cody Rhodes defeated one of the biggest stars in WCW in Carlos Colon Jr. It wasn’t completely clean, as Dustin showed up and hit Carlos with one of his patented right hands, but then Cody hit a big bulldog from behind and got the win! (54%) Joey Matthews is backstage. He says the Tag Team Cup is something he feels passionate about, and he’s teaming with the man that should be the next WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Pete Gruner, and together, these two small-town kids are going to win it all, and the next step is going to be the tag team titles. (64%) A shadowy figure in a locker room is shown. He is preparing for a match, tying his boots up, pulling up his kneepads, doing calisthenics. He starts to walk out of his locker room, and the camera zooms around… “Are you down… with the Brown? D’Lo Brown is coming… to World Championship Wrestling!” (67%) Doug Basham defeats Pete Gruner to retain the WCW World Heavyweight Title.- A relatively solid match, that was a slight style clash, but the fans still enjoyed it. Gruner seemed to have the match in his hands, and it looked like we were going to see a new champion, but when he went for a shooting star press, Basham pushed the referee without him realizing it into the ropes. Gruner crotched himself on the top rope, and Basham climbed up with him, hitting a Diamond Cutter off the top for the pinfall victory! (62%)

This is probably the best diary going on the board imo. Even though every time I see Basham as champ I sorta give a groan. I hope you don't rely too heavily on WWE rejects and old school guys and bring in some new talent. The Fallen Brother Memorial is really interesting and can't wait to see how it shapes up.

Trevor Rhodes defeats Scott Hall.- Scott Hall seemed to have this in the palm of his hand when P.J. Walker interfered. Walker, trying to help Hall, ended up distracting him, allowing Rhodes to roll him up for the pinfall! After the match, Hall shoved Walker down and walked to the back without him! (63%) D’Lo Brown is backstage. He talks about how he’s been waiting, biding his time overseas, waiting for the perfect opportunity to make his big US return, and he believes that time is now, and the place is WCW. That he believes he can accomplish anything in WCW, including the WCW World Championship. And if you want to see him, order Bash at the Beach. (65%) Fallen Brother Memorial Cup Round One:The Rhodes Brothers defeat the Samoan Swat Team.- The Swat Team, who haven’t appeared on WCW TV lately, seemed sluggish and couldn’t get things in gear, when the Rhodes hit a double Bulldog on Fatu, and Cody got the pinfall. (62%) Fallen Brother Memorial Cup Round One:The Colon Brothers defeat L.A. Par-K and Dr. Wagner Jr.- A relatively even match, but the Puerto Rican flag Los Boricuas always has around was the difference maker, as Ricky Banderas cracked it over Par-K’s head, allowing Eddie to pin him. (69%) Fallen Brother Memorial Cup Round One:Doug Basham and the Damaja defeat Mistico and Ultimo Dragon.- After they separated the two lucha superstars, a Brain Damage onto Ultimo allowed the WCW World Champion to make the pin and advance in the tournament. (71%) Fallen Brother Memorial Cup Round One:Joey Matthews and Pete Gruner defeat Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis.- Miscommunication hurt Juventud and Psicosis here, as they accidentally ran into each other, allowing Matthews to hit a big suplex, followed by a Gruner Shooting Star Press for the victory. (69%) We take a look at Los Boricuas. The WCW World Tag Team Champions are the Colon Brothers, and they are holding the titles as long as they want, and their backup is Ricky Banderas, a beast of a Puerto Rican with an attitude twice as bad. Whose got what it takes to take these men down? (76%) Andrew Martin defeats Marty Jannetty.- Martin squashed Jannetty, hit the Test Drive and then afterwards, begged for some real competition. (64%) Elijah Burke no longer has a smile on his face. He’s in an office of a New York stock broker, demanding to them that he’s allowed to see his broker, Mr. Colton. He’s told that he’s in a meeting, but when Elijah tries to call him he picks up. Elijah starts sobbing, asking him how all of his money could be gone. (54%) Scott Norton defeats Claudio Castagnoli by DQ. Castagnoli retains the WCW World Television Title.- This was a back and forth match, but it looked like Norton had it won. Castagnoli, without Norton realizing it, pushed the referee down, so he could not make a count on Double C. With the referee down, Castagnoli went for a chair, however, “Flash” grabbed it and cracked Castagnoli over the head with it! Norton covered Claudio, and a second referee ran into the ring and made the pin! He was awarding Norton with the title, when the original referee grabbed the belt, and handed it back to Claudio, telling the announcer that Claudio had been disqualified for shoving him earlier. The two men argue, until some unfamiliar music started to play… (65%) I think this is the new WCW President… and it’s… ERIC BISCHOFF! Bischoff comes down to the ring, and takes the house mic. He tells Norton, that the original referee’s ruling stands, and that he wins the match, but not the title. He then tells them both, the next time neither man has a match booked, there will be a rematch! (88%)

I really do love this diary and think it is the best on the board right now. The memorial tag tournament is great and I love how you're continuing feud through it while making it seem very classy at the same time. The stuff with Elijah Burke is so good and the twist of him losing all his money is great. Can't wait to see what you do with that. The Los Boricuas/Rhodes feud is another high point that I really like in this diary and Eric Bischoff's return as WCW president is great as well.
Can't wait for D'Lo's debut and Bash at the Beach.

Eric Bischoff is in his office, when Larry Sweeney walks in. He goes to hug Bischoff and thanks him for everything he’s done, but Bischoff backs him up. He admits he thought Harry Smith crossed the line at Slamboree and deserved the suspension, but he also was very close to also suspending Sweeney for interfering in the first place, and if Sweeney pulls something like that again, he’ll be out too! (73%) Jody Fleisch defeats El Dragon Fantastico.- Fast paced, blink and you might miss action. Fantastico lost concentration and this allowed Fleisch to hit a big powerslam, followed by a Shooting Star Press for the victory! (67%) Elijah Burke is backstage, and he’s on his cell phone. He keeps trying to reach his stockbroker, but won’t get an answer. He finally leaves him a message, telling him he’d better be here, at WCW Revolution, next week, or else something’s gonna go down. (60%) Fallen Brother Memorial Cup Quarter-FinalsTeam Sweet and Sour defeat Vicious and Delicious.- Buff and Norton tried, but just couldn’t overcome the massive size of Team Sweet and Sour. Singh hit Bagwell with the Tree Slam to advance to Bash at the Beach. Who’s going to be tough enough to beat these two? (63%) Fallen Brother Memorial Cup Quarter-FinalsElix Skipper and Lance Storm defeat Claudio Castagnoli and Rick Steiner.- Skipper and Storm, the much faster of the two, used their speed to their advantage, not allowing Steiner to bully them, and Storm actually pinned the WCW World Television Champion with the Super Kick, which advances them to Bash at the Beach! As the match faded out, we saw Scott Norton watching the match on a monitor backstage, and smiling. (70%) Fallen Brother Memorial Cup Quarter-FinalsThe Rhodes Brothers defeat the Colon Brothers.- This was, ironically, another battle in the war between the Texans and the Puerto Ricans, and both sides came out firing. The Colons tried to use the flag, but the referee stopped them, allowing Dustin to hit a big Bulldog on Eddie and the Rhodes brothers pinned the World Tag Team Champions! (67%) Fallen Brother Memorial Cup Quarter-FinalsDoug Basham and the Damaja defeat Joey Matthews and Pete Gruner.- The WCW World Heavweight Champion and his best friend, the Damaja, came out on top of a very good, very competive match and advance to Bash at the Beach, after defeating two very tough stars in Matthews and Gruner! They hit the Brain Damage on Gruner, and that was all she wrote! (71%) D’Lo Brown is backstage. He just found out, his debut match is going to be one-on-one against Buff Bagwell at Bash at the Beach. Buff might be the stuff, but D’Lo is going to be the man getting his hand raised at the end of the night. And by the time it’s all said and done, everyone is going to know exactly what he’s talking about when he says “Down with the Brown”. (73%) Andrew Martin defeats Elijah Burke.- Burke noticeably seemed distracted, and it hurt him in the match, as he didn’t last too long, as Martin hit the Grade early on, then stood over him, and posed, and demanded a challenge out there from anybody. (58%) Scott Hall is in the ring, and he wants PJ Walker to come down. He shoves Walker down, and tells him he’s fired from the Klique. Also, he’s arranged it with Bischoff, him vs. Hall at Bash at the Beach, but right now, Syxx-Pac’s gonna kick his little ass first. (78%) PJ Walker defeats Syxx-Pac by disqualification.- It looked like Syxx-Pac had this match under control, until Walker suddenly turned the tide! He hit the Tombstone Piledriver, and it looked like he was going to pick up the big win, when Hall jumped in the ring and started laying boots to Walker. Then, Syxx-Pac and Hall hit a 2 person X-Factor to stand victorious over Walker to end the show. (62%)
