Wow, I don't know why it took me this long to check this out but it has to be one of my favourite diaries on the board. Everything is very realistic...even the backstory which I find hard to do with a WCW Ressurection diary. The writing is absolutely great along with the format of your shows. Very easy to read and follow. I like the push of Shawn Spears as like I said in @wesome's Hybrid diary, I really like seeing a diary that takes a guy I don't know very well and build them to a superstar. I'm also a fan of Basham as champ as it is unexpected and it will be very cool to see where you take it.
I'll be reading this from now on for sure.

Meh, Im not too happy that the title changed, I mean I said I hated DDP as champ, but then just taking it off him the very next show to Doug Basham, I think this'd sorta make the title seem weak and stuff, just changing it at the next show, why couldn't Basham win it at the first show if you wanted to push him, but I really don't know how the title would appear changing so quickly to a guy who face it has been a jobber most of his life, wouldn't really make the title strong or anything.
Other than that it was great, I love Shawn Spears and bringing in Jannety is a pretty good move. Also the Russian gimmick suits Carelli much more than the Italian fan and he really is a good talent, Im rootin' for the OVW boys. Keep it up.

   Giant Singh defeats Ray Gordy.- Ray Gordy is a second-generation superstar with a lot of potential and promise, however, he gave up over a foot and about 300 pounds to the “largest athlete in the world”. While during the match, Larry Sweeney was at the commentary table, putting his man over, after Singh hit the Tree Slam for the victory, Sweeney jumped into the ring, ordering another, and then laying some stomps to Gordy for fun. (46%)  We see some prerecorded comments from “The Canadian Bulldog” Harry Smith, at home in Calgary. He says that he’s been training on how to take down a Giant. He’s watched Resurrection on Pay Per View, he’s seen the repeats and he’s disgusted with that little piece of garbage Larry Sweeney getting involved in his tag team match. Singh and Sweeney might not know anything about honor, about pride, but Harry knows. His family has left him with big shoes to fill, you could even argue they’re too big, but that doesn’t scare him. He wants to get out there and compete, and he wants the biggest challenge he can get, and that’s a 7’2”, 500 pound giant. So at Slamboree, he wants a one-on-one match with Singh! (48%)       The Rhodes Family defeat PG-13 and Tracy Smothers.- The Rhodes Brothers, Cody and Dustin, along with their cousin Trevor, made extremely short work of PG-13 and Smothers in this one, hitting three bulldogs simultaneously to get the pinfall victories. (57%)  We take a look at a man hanging out on a porch, in front of a run down house. Word up. You ain’t heard of the Neighborhoodie? No bother, cause you about to. The Neighborhoodie is coming to WCW. And he’s bringing the street with him. He ain’t a snitch, and he ain’t gonna be your little prison (expletive deleted). Ride till you die! (66%)   Mistico defeats Ken Doane.- Doane really surprised a lot of people in this one, as he matched Mistico hold for hold for quite a bit. But Doane has a tendency to get over-excited and make a mistake, which is what happened when he went for the Top Rope Legdrop way too early. This left Mistico in charge, where he took advantage, hitting an insane dive and some incredible hurricanranas before slapping on La Mistica for the tapout victory. After the match, Doane threw a fit. (73%)   Andrew Martin defeats Hector Guerrero.- Hector Guerrero is someone with more experience than most of the roster combined, and is a strong second-generation superstar, a member of the world famous Guerrero wrestling family, but Martin is 6’7”, 285 pounds of nasty, and he showed how hungry he was, by pinning Guerrero with a Test Drive within a couple of minutes. (64%)   Claudio Castagnoli defeats Joey Mercury.- This was a non-title match, so Castagnoli did not need to worry about losing his WCW World Television Title, but you wouldn’t know it by the way Double C acted during the match, taking every shortcut he’d think necessary to win at any cost. His biggest shortcut though, was when they were out on the outside, someone from the crowd attacked Mercury and then Castagnoli threw him in and pinned him. But the person in the crowd turned out to be none other than the Dog Faced Gremlin Rick Steiner… what’s he doing with the World TV Champion? (66%)    The Colon Brothers are backstage with a huge man behind them. They say this man is Ricky Banderas, and he’s their new backup. Collectively, they’re called Los Boricuas and their reason for being here is simple, to show pride in la Puerto Ricano raza. They’re about to take those tag team titles in the name of Puerto Rico. (76%)       The Colon Brothers defeat Elix Skipper and Lance Storm, the Midnight Express, and the Klique to win the WCW World Tag Team Titles.- This was a strong match, extremely fast paced. The Midnight Express were out first, courtesy of The Factor from Syxx-Pac. After another few minutes, the shocker was PJ Walker submitting to a Canadian Maple Leaf from Storm! However, the Klique didn’t take losing too well, as all 3 members attacked Storm behind the referee’s back, leaving Elix all alone to the Colons! The Colons have shown they’re excellent at two on one advantages, and with Banderas in their corner, it was really three on one! Skipper fought the valiant fight, but it was too much for him as he was put away with a backcracker from Carlos Jr, to win the World Tag Team Titles! (73%)   Before the main event starts, DDP has the microphone, and congratulates Basham on his new WCW World Heavyweight Championship, however it was earned. However, if he wants to prove he’s a man and not just a puppet, to right here, right now, agree to put the title on the line at Slamboree. Basham says he’s never run from a fight in his life, and DDP has a deal. Before he even finishes talking, though, he and Damaja jump DDP and Funk from behind, and the main event is on! (71%)   Doug Basham and the Damaja defeat Diamond Dallas Page and Terry Funk.- Basham and the Damaja, former World Tag Team Champions, definitely worked together in the main event than DDP and Funk, and it showed. However, don’t count out the fight of the two veterans, as they kept it competitive! However, they let their emotions get the best of them, and it caught up, because while Basham and Funk were brawling on the outside, out of nowhere, Basham caught DDP with the XTornado, a Tornado one arm DDT. It was shocking how fast he delivered it, and he got the pinfall! Twice in a row, Basham has pinned DDP, does DDP have an opportunity at Slamboree? (73%) |

Show was awesome, I love the fact you have the Runnels and Murdoch working together. The Colons and their backup is another angle I like. Claudio is the man and Mistico is amazing so just keep pushing them to the moon.  really enjoying this Diary Stuffs. |

 Harry Smith defeats Psicosis.- This was Harry’s first showing on WCW Revolution, and the Canadian Bulldog looked very strong. Although he was facing a very tough competitor in Psicosis, he came out with a victory relatively easy. If only that was the simple part. After the match, Larry Sweeney and Giant Singh joined the party! Singh hit Smith with a big Baba Chop and he just fell out of the ring. Looks like overcoming this challenge is going to be hard even for the Bulldog! (63%)  Shawn Spears defeats Syxx-Pac.- Syxx-Pac started this match extremely cocky. He was slapping Spears around, half-assing lock ups, just showing his opposition no respect. Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea. After Spears showed some fire, Syxx-Pac started to regret taking him so likely, and started resorting to cheating. However, down to the ring came Elix Skipper! Skipper takes a chair that Syxx-Pac planned to use, and instead hits him with it! Spears rolls him up, and scores the massive upset! (56%)  Doug Basham is backstage, and he’s asking everyone if they’ve seen Larry Sweeney, but no one working on the staff has. Finally, Sweeney walks up, and appears behind him, scaring Basham when he pokes on his shoulder to ask him what he wants. Basham tells him he has a business proposition for him, and the two of them walk away from the camera to talk! (58%)   Elijah Burke defeats Marty Jannetty.- This was a really good mat-based match. Burke came in cocky, and surprisingly, was able to back it up. Jannetty was no walk in the park, and he brought his A game, however, a key mistake was all it took, as Elijah hit the Elijah Experience for the win! (58%) Andrew Martin defeats Lance Storm.- Storm didn’t have much of a chance in this one. As retribution for his partner interfering in the Syxx-Pac vs. Shawn Spears match, PJ Walker interfered and cost Storm the match within the first few minutes, allowing Martin to hit the Grade and get the pinfall victory. After the match, Walker was going to do a number to Storm, but Shawn Spears made the save! (73%)  Joey Matthews defeats Juventud Guerrera.- The match of the night. This match was blink and you might miss it fast, one mistake could be the difference between win and loss type greatness. And that’s exactly what happened. After a 450 splash by Juventud missed, he was out of it, allowing Matthews to take advantage and get the pinfall. (74%)   Pete Gruner defeats Scott Hall.- This match was given a chance to breathe; however the stain of interference also tainted it. Lance Storm didn’t touch Hall, but he definitely distracted him, allowing the former Kidman to hit a lung blower and roll him up for the win. After the match, Storm and Hall got in each others face, and rather than start fighting, they started bickering, and it ended in… a handshake? But after the handshake, Hall hits Storm from behind and hits the Edge onto him… what did they shake about? (66%)  We take a look at “Double C” Claudio Castagnoli’s mansion in Switzerland, where he is vacationing with the Dog Face Gremlin, Rick Steiner. He says that when you are the WCW World Television Champion, when you control all the money in Europe, when you are the best wrestler in the world, you get certain luxuries afforded to you. Including being able to afford a certain amount of security. And that includes hiring someone like Rick Steiner, one of the best wrestlers in the world and someone with a particularly nasty temperament to help you retain the WCW World Television Title. He who has the Francs makes the rules, and that’s why it’s great to be Double C. (63%) The Damaja and Giant Singh defeat Diamond Dallas Page.- Basham’s best friend the Damaja and the 7’2, 500 pound Giant Singh were the opponents picked by Basham! DDP, only outweighed by about 500 pounds, put up a good fight, but these were losing odds. Page fared alright against Damaja but when Singh was tagged in, it was all over. He hit a giant Tree Slam and pinned Page in the middle of the ring, with Basham sitting at ringside with the biggest grin ever on his face. (62%) Basham gets in the ring and stands over Diamond Dallas Page’s fallen body. He tells him, that at Slamboree, he gets to pick the stipulation for the WCW World Title Match. And he’s going to make it count, as he’s going to retire DDP. It will be the WCW World Title… versus Diamond Dallas Page’s career! (64%) |

Nice stipulation, Slamboree is shaping up to be a great show, i hope Basham retires DDP, and i can't see no way of Harry beating Singh. Great so far, keep it up.

First thing is first.
If you have DDP lose, I'll slit your throat.
Second. The 4 way ladder match is definatly the match on the card I'm the most hyped for.
ELIJAH FTW!
But, none the less, I'm loving the direction your taking this in, I'll be reading.
And if you wouldn't mind, could you please drop a reply to ECW 2008?

This diary is so good. Easy to read, great detail, everything about it really pleases me to be honest. Probablly one of the best diaries i've seen. There is really nothing I can say a bad word about for the last 2 shows, so instead i'll simply tell you my most favourite thing. That was the interaction between Hall and Storm on the last show. Bickering, then shaking hands and then an attack. Leaves a wonder of why they shook hands and I think you could really build upon it.
Slamboree is shaping up to be a great card and I can't wait till that show rolls around. Great diary and I hope you continue it for a VERY long time.

The Rhodes Family is in the middle of the ring. They feel like some people in this company don’t respect their heritage, don’t respect the trails their families have blazed in this industry. Particularly, the Colon Brothers and that big goon they run with now. They said the way Dusty used to talk about Carlos Colon, Sr. they knew he was a good man. It’s a shame his sons turned out to be a pair of little punks. This brought Los Boricuas out to the stage, but they stayed out of the ring. Carlos Jr. told them not to talk about his father, that that wasn’t cool. Dustin Rhodes brought up the fact that neither team has anything going on at Slamboree. If the Puerto Ricans aren’t too big of punks, these Texans would love to teach them some respect. Carlos Jr. seemed like he was about to reject, but Eddie grabbed the mic and told them it was on! (83%)  Scott Norton defeats PG-13 in a Handicap Match.- This match didn’t take long. Flash just took apart JC Ice and Wolfie D, hitting them both with Powerbombs, stacking them on top of one another, and pinning them for the victory. (61%) We take a look at Doug Basham. He says that he still doesn’t really feel like the WCW World Champion. He always knew he had what it took, but it still hasn’t sunk in that he’s been given the ball. When he looks at Diamond Dallas Page, he sees someone that’s in his way, someone that wants what he has, and he knew that DDP would not stop coming until he’s out of the business, so that’s why he put DDP’s career on the line. He is not giving up his title, his status easily, and he’s going to be in the best shape of his life, come this Sunday. (63%)   The Colon Brothers defeat Los Fabulosos to retain the WCW World Tag Team Titles.- The Colon Brothers, who now have a prom date for Slamboree, were successful in defending their titles here. Ricky Banderas was at ringside, but surprisingly did not get involved. This didn’t stop the Colons from cheating though, as Carlos Jr. hit a Back Cracker but then also held the ropes to get the pinfall victory over El Dandy(who has been doubted). (66%) Shawn Spears is backstage, grabbing some water from the Catering Room. Syxx-Pac walks up to him. He stands right in his face, and tells him he knows Spears would like to hit him, so what’s stopping him? Spears said he promised Storm, that he’s not going to touch them until Slamboree, where the Klique is going down. Suddenly, Walker and Hall attack Spears from behind! They grab him and slam him into the door. Syxx-Pac gets in his face and says it’s a good thing the Klique didn’t make that promise, isn’t it? (66%)  The Klique defeat Hector Guerrero, Ray Gordy, and Mikey Whipwreck.- Not much of a match. This match never got going by a traditional tag team format, as the six men never left the ring. The Klique just bullied their opponents until PJ Walker put away Whipwreck with the Tombstone. (64%)  Larry Sweeney is in the ring. He says that Harry Smith, whose training hard in Calgary this week, will have a big surprise at Slamboree. When Khali had to leave the country for a few weeks, it was hard to find a replacement. He had to find someone who was mean, nasty, and big. But he’s found that man. THE MONSTER, JOHN HEIDENREICH! Heidenreich walks out to the ring with Sweeney, where Sweeney tells Harry Smith that this man is going to be the one standing over him at Slamboree now! (65%) Pete Gruner and Joey Matthews defeat Andrew Martin and Elijah Burke.- A tag team match that is a preview to this Sunday’s $100,000 ladder match. These two teams, despite both having never teamed before, both worked extremely well together. There seemed to be a little timidness on behalf of all the wrestlers, as they all seemed somewhat concerned about injury. In the long run though, it was Gruner pinning Burke with a Shooting Star Press. Can he be victorious this Sunday? (70%) We take a look at Diamond Dallas Page. He says that he will absolutely not underestimate The Machine this weekend at Slamboree. He knows that if he makes one mistake, his entire career, everything he’s worked for for decades could be over. He always knew that he’d have to walk away one day, he’s done it in the past, but he’s always been called back by the business that he loves. But if he doesn’t win the title at Slamboree, that’s it. He has to walk away for good, and that’s something he doesn’t want to happen. (85%)   Buff Bagwell wins a Four Corners Match over Kid Kash, the Damaja, and Juventud Guerrera.- Bagwell is going to Slamboree! By pinning Juventud Guerrera with a Blockbuster (after Kash had inadvertently put himself and Damaja out of the match with a suicide dive), Buff Bagwell wins a World Television Title match this Sunday at Slamboree! (72%)  This Sunday is Slamboree! To a montage, set to “Wolf Like Me” by TV on the Radio, we took a look at several of the promoted matches! Will we see a new champion Sunday, or will Diamond Dallas Page retire? Who will win the $100,000 ladder match? Can the Klique defeat Lance Storm and his friends? Who is better in the ring? Texas or Puerto Rico? Can Harry Smith slay Larry Sweeney’s new giant? All of this, and more, this Sunday at Slamboree! (69%) |

Oh Man, I'm just loving The Machine as the WCW Champ, and I'm hoping for a Machine Win, and a DIAAAAAAMOND RETIREMENT! Hahaha! But I'm enjoying this diary really much, I love this Larry Sweeney guy... I gotta give props to Harry Smith for Slamboree. Slamboree looks pretty solid if you ask me, the 100,000 Ladder Match will def. change somebody's life in WCW, I'm hoping for ...Oh... KIDMAN OH WAIT, PETEY's Victory though. But Bagwell getting a victory in the Main Event?  Whaaaaaat?! I wouldn't mind seeing Damaja getting an chance, or even Juvi or even Kash! Anybody but Bagwell, don't make him Champ! HEIDENREICH! HEIDENREICH! HEIDENREICH! But I think Harry Smith will beat him, I hope! Too bad that Khali has left the company though.. Can't wait to see the PPV, and the aftermath... GO MACHINE GO! |

Last show was great as usual. I liked the Rhodes/Colon bit to get them on the card for Slamboree a lot. Not a huge fan of Heidenreich but i'm sure you'll find a way to make it good. I'm absolutely loving the Basham vs DDP stuff, so good. Can't wait for Slamboree.

I think this is my favorite diary on the boards at the moment. Bagwell going over is always good and it is awesome that you brought in Heidenreich. the 100000 Ladder Match looks to be awesome and I would hope for Kidman to win but I doubt it. the Colon family is awesome and so is the klique, I hope they go over Team Canada at the PPV. Reply to wwe 07 would be awesome.

Yeah, to say Slamboree is loaded is an understatement. I hope Basham beats DDP, and I like the sounds of both Legends matches. I hope Smith beats Heidenrich, and that Texas STOMPS PR into the ground.

The Funk Brothers defeat Abdullah the Butcher and Tiger Jeet Singh.- With the ages of the men involved, there was no way you were expecting the fast action, but these four men bled, a lot, and that got the crowd involved. These four brawled all over arena and used lots of chairs and forks and all kinds of things to draw some more juice. The match ended when Dory got Tiger in the middle of the ring and applied the Spinning Toe hold for the tapout victory! (67%) Mistico and Ultimo Dragon defeat L.A. Par-K and Dr. Wagner Jr.- An extraordinarily fast paced match, or at least that’s how it seemed compared to the one previously. Although Par-K and Wagner didn’t like Mistico getting all of the press, this match very much felt like a Mistico infomercial! The finish of the match, after Wagner fell to the outside, Ultimo hit a big dive, then Par-K, and finally Mistico! Mistico tossed Wagner in the ring, and applied La Mistica for the tap out victory! Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis jump Mistico and Ultimo after the match, with Juventud hitting Mistico with a Juve Driver and leaving him laying in the ring! (73%) Elix Skipper, Lance Storm, and Shawn Spears defeat the Klique.- Good luck the referee who had to keep order in this one. The Klique controlled most of the match but cheated like hell. They worked over Elix Skipper for the entire match, swapping in and out without tagging and taunting Spears and Storm every chance they got, to draw them into the ring. Skipper finally got the hot tag to Storm, who took out all of the Klique, which lead to Skipper and Spears getting involved as well.. eventually, the entire ring cleared out except for Spears and Walker, and the referee didn’t realize Spears wasn’t the legal man, but he hit a Death Valley Driver and got the pinfall! (67%) Harry Smith defeats John Heidenreich.- This wasn’t an overly strong match, as Smith hasn’t made the crowd love him yet and Heidenreich is well… Heidenreich, but they made it work. It didn’t go very long, but Larry Sweeney’s interference ended up hurtin his client as he went to swing a chair at Smith but accidentally hit his Monster instead! Smith then did what had to be the biggest Powerslam of his life and got the pinfall! After the match, Larry Sweeney tried to jump Smith from behind, but Smith grabs him and gives him a giant Running Powerslam! After he recovered, Heidenreich picked his manager up and carried him back on his shoulders. (59%) Animal defeats Lex Luger.- The most promoted legend’s match was well… underwhelming in the ring, and incredibly short, going only about 5 minutes. Luger hit his patented running forearm and then went for the torture rack, but Animal’s a big guy to get up there, and as he couldn’t do it, Animal hit a powerslam for the victory! (59%) Claudio Castagnoli defeats Buff Bagwell to retain the WCW World Television Title.- To start the match, both men strutted at the other and gauged audience reaction. When the crowd tried to boo Claudio, Steiner, at ringside, told them all to shut up. Claudio, after crowing to WCW management about wanting the best competition, sure didn’t seem to mind cutting corners whenever possible. He’d grab Steiner’s hand for extra leverage when he had Bagwell in an abdominal stretch, he’d grab the ropes when he’d go for a pinfall… he wanted the win and had no qualms about how he’d get it. Finally, though, Bagwell came back and looked like we might have a brand new WCW World Television Champion. However, when he was on the top rope ready to hit the Blockbuster, Rick Steiner distracted him, and the referee, long enough for Claudio to grab the ropes so Bagwell crotches himself. He then rolls him off the top rope for a 3 count. After the match, Steiner instructs Claudio to hold Bagwell up… wait… Steiner’s going for a top rope bulldog! That’s the same move that almost put Bagwell in the hospital 8 years ago! But here comes Scott Norton, and he clears out the ring, and saves his partner! (68%) The Rhodes Family defeat Los Boricuas.- This was a pier six brawl that never really progressed past that. It definitely suited part of the crowd, but part of it didn’t buy all the way in. The action was hard to handle for the referee, and he threatened to throw the match out several times. In the long run though he realized he would not be able to keep order and kept getting more lenient and lenient. Before long, all six men were in the ring, no one had any idea who the legal man was, and eventually, after Dustin hit Eddie Colon with a big bulldog, Cody covered him for the pinfall! (65%) Elijah Burke wins a Ladder Match over Andrew Martin, Joey Matthews, and Pete Gruner.- This was a match full of incredible spots and death defying dives, as you’d probably expect. Every man fell off the ladder throughout the course of the match. Martin played the bully throughout and was incredibly good at the role. Gruner had a tendancy to go for the high spots early and often, and this cost him after he tried a Shooting Star Press onto the outside, but no one was there to catch him. Although he appeared to be for the most part fine, he was definitely woozy after that and basically took himself out of the running for the victory. While Martin was trying to send Matthews through a table with a Test Drive, this left the ladder completely unoccupied, which allowed Burke to climb it and retrieve the briefcase before the other competitors realized! (68%) Doug Basham defeats Diamond Dallas Page to retain the WCW World Heavyweight Title.- It’s not often you get to see a match of this caliber. The crowd reactions were HOT. Everybody knew what was on the line. And the wrestlers definitely did everybody proud. Both men started the match slow, neither wanting to make a mistake. Finally Basham took some control, but it wasn’t for very long, as DDP countered a Power Bomb attempt, and then went to work. He tried to finish it early by hitting a Diamond Cutter, but Basham shoved him off, sending DDP over the top rope. On the outside, Basham turned up the aggression with an irish whip into the guardrail, then sent him into the ring and covered him, but it was only for a two count. Page fought back and once again went for the Diamond Cutter, but this time, to counter, Basham rolled backwards out of it, then when Page turned around, he hit a lariat! He covered him, and once again, only got a two count! Basham kept control and sent Page into the corner turnbuckle, then charged in and tried to hit a Stinger Splash, but Page moved, and Basham caught a face full of steel post! Basham stumbled out, Page grabbed him, but before he could hit the Diamond Cutter, Basham caught his arm in the one-armed DDT position, and he ran towards the corner and hit the XTornado spinning one-armed DDT! He gets the cover, and the three count! After the match, Page is in tears! Basham, not wanting to add insult to injury, leaves Page alone to say goodbye to the fans… but Page calls him back into the ring! Page holds out his hand, and they shake! Page lifts Basham’s arm high in the air, congratulating the World Champion on a victory well done! (80%)
