This is just awful. Chaz is right on everything. Nothing about this is realistic. At least you didn't put anyone on the roster that is dead.
Google is your friend when it comes to learning ages and all that stuff.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that WWF 1993 will not ever die. I know that at some point(s) the booking will get difficult but I've been putting alot of thought into it and have zero intention of ever killing that off.

Show: Weekly PPV #1 Date: June 19th, 2002 Location: Huntsville, Alabama Announcers: Mike Tenay and Don West
Pre-show thoughts: Everyone in the back is anxious to get the first show started. It is very important for us to leave a good impression since our only way to show off our product is on pay per view. We need to do a good enough job each week so that fans will want to dish out $9.95 every Wednesday night. Before the show, all the talent and staff said a prayer. This is a big night and we need everything and everyone to be on our side.
Main Show: 8pm-10pm
~ Director of Authority, Ricky Steamboat comes down to the ring with the NWA-TNA World Heavyweight Championship. After discussing the history and prestige of the championship Steamboat announces that tonight there will be a twenty man battle royal to crown the first NWA-TNA World Champion. Jeff Jarrett makes his way down to the ring and demands that Steamboat award him the championship right now. Jarrett is confident that he is going to win the championship anyway, so why waste time. Steamboat refuses to give up the championship. Steamboat decides that tonight, Jarrett will be the first entrant in the battle royal! “Prove to everyone that you are best, by starting off as the first entrant in the battle royal!” Steamboat leaves the ring as Jarrett is left pissed off in the ring.
~ AJ Styles defeated Christopher Daniels, Jerry Lynn and Low Ki: A impressive opening contest that really showcased what the X-Division is all about. All four men gave their best efforts doing high risk moves and kept the action going non-stop. Lynn almost won the match following the cradle pile driver on Daniels but Ki broke up the pin with a stiff kick to Lynn’s face. Moments later, Styles was able to connect with the Styles Clash on Ki to win the bout. (12:44, ***1/4)
~ Backstage, Scott Hudson is standing with Scott Hall. Hudson welcomes Hall to NWA-TNA and talks about the battle royal taking place later on tonight. Hall mentions that being a World Champion is the one thing he hasn’t been able to call himself. Hall is going to make sure he will win the NWA-TNA World Championship, tonight!
~ Sonny Siaki defeated Jimmy Yang : A enjoyable contest where Siaki got the majority of the contest while Yang was able to get a few quick spots in. Siaki blocked a hurricanrana with a power bomb, which Yang never quite recovered from. Siaki earned the win following a Samoan Drop after having Yang set up for a gorilla press slam. (6:33, *1/2)
~ Backstage, Scott Hudson is standing with Chris Harvard. Harvard realizes that he doesn’t have as much experience as most of the guys in NWA-TNA but he has one advantage. Harvard points out his intelligence and that he can outsmart everyone in NWA-TNA. Harvard speaks slowly for the Alabama crowd as he predicts a NWA-TNA World Championship win later tonight.
~ Backstage, Jeff Jarrett storms into Ricky Steamboat’s office and begins to yell at Steamboat over the injustice of being forced to be the first entrant in the battle royal. Steamboat doesn’t care and says his decision on the matter is final.
~ the Maximo Brothers defeated the Backseat Boys: The fans didn’t know any of these men so the crowd reaction wasn’t there, but they all still put on a good effort. Trent Acid really shined in the contest hitting all of his spots very nicely. Maximo Brothers almost hit the Spanish Fly on Kashmere but Acid was able to save his partner. Acid soon nailed Joel Maximo with a running yakuza kick and picked up the win. (7:52, **)
~ Backstage, Scott Hudson is with former NWA World Champion Steve Corino. Corino mentions a few of the championships that he has held throughout his career and says that he knows what it takes to be a champion. Corino believes that tonight will not be any different and he will walk out as the NWA-TNA World Champion.
~ Backstage, Ken Shamrock is seen taping up his fists and slapping himself in the face while looking in the mirror.
~ Matt Morgan defeated Lenny Lane: Morgan was not in the mood for Lane’s homosexual teases. Morgan delivered several powerful moves such as a fall away slam, swinging side slam and a gut wrench suplex. Morgan finishes off the squash following a bicycle kick that nearly knocked Lane’s head off his shoulders! (3:27, *)
~ Mike Tenay and Don West hype up the battle royal taking place next to crown the first ever NWA-TNA World Champion!
Permanent
~ Jeff Jarrett won a 20 man battle royal to win the vacant NWA-TNA World Championship last eliminating Scott Hall: Entrants: #1: Jeff Jarrett #2: Chris Harris #3: Brian Christopher #4: CM Punk #5: Scott Hall #6: David Young #7: Monty Brown #8: Steve Corino #9: Disco Inferno #10: Colt Cabana #11: Sonny Siaki #12: Ken Shamrock #13: Low Ki #14: AJ Styles #15: Ron Killings #16: Christopher Daniels #17: Konnan #18: Buff Bagwell #19: Jerry Lynn #20: Chris Harvard
Eliminations: #1: David Young (by Scott Hall) #2: Brian Christopher (by Jeff Jarrett) #3: Disco Inferno (by Monty Brown) #4: Chris Harris (by CM Punk) #5: Colt Cabana (by Steve Corino) #6: Monty Brown (by Corino) #7: Steve Corino (by Ken Shamrock) *Brown brawls with Corino on the floor* #8: Sonny Siaki (by Scott Hal) #9: AJ Styles (by Low Ki) #10: CM Punk (by Ken Shamrock) #11: Low Ki (by Christopher Daniels) #12: Ron Killings (by Jeff Jarrett) #13: Christopher Daniels (by Scott Hal) #14: Konnan (by Buff Bagwell) #15: Buff Bagwell (by Jeff Jarrett) #16: Ken Shamrock (by Chris Harvard) #17: Jerry Lynn (by Chris Harvard) #18: Chris Harvard (by Scott Hall) #19: Scott Hall (by Jeff Jarrett) (Time of match: 28:24)
The finish of the match saw Scott Hall toss Jarrett over the top rope and believe that he had won the battle royal. However, Jarrett never touched the floor. Jarrett proceeded to grab his guitar and smashed Hall over the back of the head with it. Jarrett tossed Hall over the top to the floor to win the battle royal and the vacant NWA-TNA World Championship!
~ Jeff Jarrett celebrates his title win while Scott Hall is left on the floor asking the referees what happened. Mike Tenay and Don West sign off to close out the show.
End of show
Post -show thoughts: I could clearly see that some of the boys were upset with Jeff Jarrett being the champion. Knowing that Jeff owns the company, I’m sure they figure he will hold the championship for a long time. He very well could as long as he is making money. I hope that when the time comes to drop the championship Jeff doesn’t freak out over it. I think we have several feuds set up moving forward. It will be an interesting first couple of weeks for us.
Lastly, Scott Steiner and Sabu didn’t debut on the show as they signed their contracts too late before the show. Jerry Lynn was able to show up because he drove to Alabama from a indy show he had in Memphis. Jerry Lynn is a true professional.
As for my thoughts on the show, it seemed to have been alright. The fans were into it for the most part. Whenever you have a battle royal on a show their isn’t going to be any elite matches considering a lot of the top talent were involved in the battle royal. I think moving forward the show will be much more evened out.
NOTE FROM BOB: This is going to sound rather odd, but I hope you guys think this a bad show. I’m trying to keep this rather realistic in every aspect. Not every show is going to be horrible, but considering this is a Vince Russo POV, everything will not be great. Again, I’m just trying to be realistic. Also, I won’t be doing any other posts about meetings leading up to the event. I can’t figure out a way to do that without spoiling anything.

This is all about one feud? I thought maybe you were just going to highlight what Orton and Cena were doing, which would be rather easy. But, if its all around one feud this isn't going to last.

A nice opening with Raven and JBL. I thought it did a nice job of hyping up their PPV showdown. A fine opener between Rhino and Morgan. Not surprise to see Rhino going over as it gives him momentum as he goes after Nitro’s strap. Burke/Noble seemed like a decent match. I enjoyed Angle slamming RVD through the announcers table. Holy poop. I don’t see Heyman actually taking that kind of bump, but good lord that was awesome. Hassan vs. Punk inside a HITC match will be great, I’m sure. Main Event would surely be a good match so a nice way to end the show. Overall, I enjoyed the show. Really looking forward to the pay per view, sir!

A good entry this time around. Glad to see London getting involved in the Michaels/Jericho feud. I'm thinking we will see more of a Michaels/London vs Jericho/Cade feud which is great because it helps London and Cade.
This could also lead to a London/Jericho feud which would be all kinds of awesome. Looking forward to more!

This is interesting for sure. The only thing that bugs me is that Taker was/is a loyal guy that i dont see going back to WCW. That's the only thing that bugs me. Looking forward to see what you do with this.

I do not like the “gone from TNA Wrestling” stipulation. No need for that so soon into the angle as it gives away a No Contest finish or the Resistance winning outright. James over Rayne is fine, I guess. Makes me think that James won’t win the strap at the PPV. I’m interested in how you will book the “old” Samoa Joe. I hope with absolute dominance. Not a fan of a tag team match to main event AAO instead of a TNA World Championship match. Much rather see Jeff/Anderson with a stipulation and Matt/RVD on the under-card. A fine way to close out the show with Mick Foley now the boss of TNA, or whatever. That’s fine. The AAO pay per view is seriously lacking title matches, though.

A good entry showcasing Pillman’s desire to provide for his family. This is going smoothly and is one of the few diaries that I check to see if there is a new post in. Interested to see if you pull the trigger on Pillman going to the WWF or not. But, I am even more interested in the angle between Pillman and Douglas. I’ll be reading for sure!

Not a fan of Goldust beating Ahmed Johnson. Johnson had a nice little win streak going on by this point and it seems that a lot of his momentum would come to a crashing end by losing to Goldust. The number one contenders match between Diesel/Taker is a huge main event. Considering the stipulation, the pin fall loss for Taker makes sense. Wonder how Taker will be able to recover from the loss. Liked the after math and will assume that Michaels will wrestle Vader at the IYH PPV. Overall, a pretty good edition of RAW. Just didn’t agree with Johnson losing.

Mountie zapped Tatanka a couple more times before escorted out of the ring by several officials. 2. Bret Hart/Bam-Bam Bigelow Confrontation: Vince McMahon conducted an in-ring interview with WWF World Champion Bret Hart, who managed to defeat Ric Flair last night at WrestleMania IX. Hart thanks the fans for their support and puts over Flair as a good wrestler but says he proved to Flair and the world that he is the man! McMahon wonders what is next for Bret Hart, but before Hart can respond Bam-Bam Bigelow’s music hits. Bigelow makes his way out, with Undertaker’s urn but without Luna Vachon. Bigelow quickly chimes in and believes that McMahon should be interviewing him instead of Bret Hart. Bigelow hypes himself up and talks about being the guy to finally end the Deadman’s run in the WWF. “All Bret Hart did was beat up a dinosaur.” Bigelow believes that Hart wouldn’t be able to beat a powerful beast like himself. Bigelow says he has beaten one of the fans heroes (Taker), and he wants to beat their top hero, Bret Hart. Hart tells Bigelow that he is a fighting champion and that he would be more than happy to put Bigelow in his place sometime in the near future! Bigelow has a stare down with Hart before backing off and leaving with a grin. Hart poses for the fans to close out the segment. 3. Rick Martel defeated Jim Powers in 4:05 with the Boston Crab. 4. Lex Luger Interview: Jim Ross conducted an in-ring interview with Lex Luger. Luger has every reason to brag to the fans as he defeated Mr. Perfect last night. Luger starts off by telling Ross and the fans that he did exactly what he said he was going to do and that was prove that Mr. Perfect is a choke artist. Luger seven goes far to say that Mr. Perfect is not the appropriate name for Mr. Perfect. Luger will now refer to Mr. Perfect as “Mr. Imperfection”. Luger turns his attention to the WWF World Championship held by Bret Hart. Since Luger has a tendency of doing what he says, Luger proceeds to proclaim that he will win the WWF World Championship by the end of 1993. Luger leaves the ring signaling that the WWF World Championship will be coming around his waist in due time. 5. Kamala defeated Barry Horowitz in 1:56 following a big splash. 6.

Jeff Jarrett Vignette: A video of a self proclaimed country music star by the name of “Double J” Jeff Jarrett is aired. Jarrett is walking the streets of Nashville saying that he is looking for a new challenge after achieving all that he wanted to achieve as a country star. Jarrett lists a few names of wrestlers that he compares himself to as being Bret Hart, the Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, and Randy Savage. Jarrett believes his going to become a WWF Legend. “You will all see just how great Jeff Jarrett really is!” 3. Shawn Michaels defeated Louie Spicolli in 1:22 following a super kick. 4. Kings Court w/Owen Hart: Jerry Lawler conducted the first edition of Kings Court by ripping on the fans and explaining his lost at WrestleMania. Lawler claims that he didn’t have any time to prepare for his opponent. Lawler doesn’t mention that he had issued a open challenge and that was bound to happen. Lawler ends up introducing his first guest, Owen Hart. Owen comes down to the ring and is greeted with a nice ovation from the fans. Lawler asks Owen just who he is because Lawler claims to not have any idea. Once told, Lawler says that Owen is “that other Hart brother that no one cares about.” Owen clearly didn’t appreciate that comment. Owen grabs the microphone and says that he should have a interview segment after he pinned Lawler one, two, three in the middle of the ring. Owen doesn’t consider Lawler to be a King and would say that Lawler is a Queen but that is a insult to all the Queens out there! Lawler gets another microphone and begins to speak insulting Owen every way he knows how to. Eventually, Lawler distracts Owen long enough for Rick Martel to roll into the ring and chop block Owen’s knee. Martel locks in the Boston Crab while Lawler gets down on the mat and yells in Owen’s face before several agents and referees run down to end the beating. 5. Crush defeated Mike Bell in 0:54 with the Kona Vice. During the bout, pre-tape comments by Crush are shown. Crush makes it clear that he is coming after Yokozuna. 6.

Michaels isn’t happy about being called a former Intercontinental Champion and blames the heat and humidity in Las Vegas as his reason for losing. Michaels tells Gene that he has a “big surprise” for Tatanka and has a plan to regain his WWF Intercontinental Championship. Michaels wants Tatanka to enjoy his title reign because it will be coming to an end very soon. 3. Bam-Bam Bigelow defeated PJ Walker in 1:55 following a top rope diving head butt. During the bout, pre-tape comments from Paul Bearer were shown. Bearer reveals that the Undertaker has gone missing since WrestleMania. Apparently, Taker disappeared after officials turned their back trying to get proper equipment to help control Taker's burns. Bearer still believes that the Undertaker will comeback and extract revenge on Bigelow! 4. Money Inc. Interview: Jim Ross conducted a interview with the WWF World Tag Team Champions, Money Inc. DiBiase told everyone that they would use their intelligence to defeat the powerful Steiner Brothers. Ross points out that what they did was cheating. IRS responds by saying “what we did was not cheating. We used what was available to us.” Ross doesn’t agree with that logic but continues the interview. DiBiase points out that they do not have any worthy opponents and believe that they don’t need to defend the championships. DiBiase believes that they will now be the WWF World Tag Team Champions forever! DiBiase and IRS laugh to end the segment, believing that everything is going perfectly for them. 5. Big Bossman defeated Mike Bucci in 1:46 following a side slam. 6. Ric Flair defeated Mark Starr in 1:03 with the figure four. During the bout, pre-tape comments by Mr. Perfect were aired.

Date: June 18th, 2002 Location: Huntsville, Alabama
Tomorrow night is a huge night for the wrestling business. Tomorrow night NWA-TNA puts on our first broadcast live on pay per view. The idea to start a company with its shows being aired only on pay per view has been met with mixed reviews by the dirt sheets, which is to be expected. The fact of the matter is, on pay per view we are allowed more freedom. I don’t expect we will be only on pay per view for longer than six months, but you never know. We might never get a television deal. If we don’t get a television deal within the first year then perhaps TNA was destined to fail. I don’t know.
Jeff Jarrett booked everyone into a local Holiday Inn near the arena to make meetings and whatnot easier. I haven’t left my room all day as I have been told that no one know that I am part of the company. It’s not a bright idea to keep secrets from the talent, but Jeff likes to work the wrestlers or in this case his employees. I made it clear to Jarrett that I wanted to be introduced to the talent before the show so that I could talk to anyone to clear the air and start anew. I want TNA to be successful and don’t want there to be any unnecessary drama. Not that drama is necessary but I don’t want there to be any reason for it.
At roughly 7:00pm Jeff had everyone meet up in the lobby. I wasn’t part of the meeting as Jeff wanted to bring me in as a surprise. Again, I wasn’t in favor of that but Jeff really wanted to do it. I was standing behind a door as I heard Jeff talk about wanting to produce a profitable company and how his mind was not focused on competing with the WWE but rather to make the boys money and give them exposure. I must say, that is a great mindset to have. It will take a long time to even come close to being regarded the number one company in the wrestling industry. To be honest, their isn’t even a number two company. It’s the WWE and then a whole bunch of other guys trying to fill that number two void.
Jeff finished off his speech after roughly forty five minutes. I thought Jeff did a fantastic job with his speech. Everyone seemed upbeat and confident heading into the first show tomorrow. Jeff soon turned his attention to announcing who the writers would be. Normally this isn’t brought up as a big deal, but Jeff thought it was. Jeff put me over as the most controversial writer in the history of professional but also the most successful. I noticed a lot of the wrestlers were beginning to whisper to each other about who it could be. Jeff eventually introduced me to come out and there were quite a few groans as I made my out to the podium to speak to the talent.
“A lot of you are sitting here rolling your eyes and wondering why the hell I am here. A lot of you are still angry with how things went in WCW. I realize that I have made mistakes in my career but considering that WCW was destined to fail well before I got there, you can’t judge me based solely off of that. I am here to help TNA and help all of you become the best performers you possibly can be. Jeff and Jerry brought me in because they trust my judgment and they fully support me. Just as they support me, I support them and all of you. I know that if we all work together and do what is right for business, we can become the top company in pro wrestling. Don’t expect to happen overnight or even over the course of several years. The WWE will be a tough company to overcome. But, I know we can do it if we remain a team. That being said I want to start off a good foot. I’m sure there are a few of you that do not like me for whatever reason. I encourage you all to have a sit down talk with me and we can hash out any differences we have so that we don’t hurt this young company’s progress with unnecessary drama. I look forward to working with each and every one of you. “
I decided to have the sit down meetings in my hotel room that way there is all the privacy we need. I wasn’t surprised to see a few wrestlers standing outside my door as I made my way to my room. The first guy in line, who was already drunk and staggering, was Scott Hall. This was going to be interesting. Hall entered my room but suddenly didn’t appear to be drunk at all. Hall joked that he is doing that only to appear weak to the young marks involved in the company who will then try to take advantage of him. It makes sense to Hall, so it must not make any real sense. When we finally began to talk, Hall made it clear that he was angry with me for not bringing him back to WCW in the summer of 2000. I had known this because throughout that whole time his long time friend Kevin Nash had blown up at me countless times trying to get Hall back into the company. I told Hall that I couldn’t bring him back because of his alcohol issues. I was blunt with Hall telling him that at the time he couldn’t be trusted. I even pointed out to Hall that right now he is giving off the impression to all the boys that he couldn’t be trusted if he is constantly drunk, and this time he isn’t even drunk! Hall looked as if he just realized what he had been doing. Hall left the room, acting completely sober and the guys standing outside my door were rather surprised to see Hall acting normal. I was glad to have Hall on my team and know that we could work together without any issue. Considering Hall is a veteran on the roster he is going to be a main event guy for TNA by default. I just hope he can keep up with his sober ways and not fall back onto booze.
The rest of the night saw me have meetings with Ken Shamrock, Disco Inferno, Konnan and Brian Christopher. Shamrock’s issue with me was the fact that I do over the top angles that are controversial. Shamrock didn’t know if he wanted to be involved with a company that would do angles that are in bad taste. I tried to assure Shamrock that this isn’t the Attitude Era and that I wouldn’t be doing anything way over the top. I apologized to Shamrock for a angle that I suggested back in 1999 where he would be involved with his “sister” romantically. I had never apologized for that but I knew it had bothered Ken for quite some time. I hope he will stay with the company.
Inferno wasn’t happy with me because I made him out to be a complete joke in WCW. I told him, in a honest way, that he isn’t a serious character. For Christ’s Sake his name is Disco Inferno and dances around the ring. I pointed it out to Disco that it was his idea to bring a duck to the ring during the dying days in WCW. I had nothing to apologize for to Disco and felt that was a meeting that didn’t accomplish anything.
Konnan believed I was a racist. I’m not sure how such a rumor or opinion such as that would come about but he said it. I’m thinking it could be more of a way to have me push him because of the color of his skin. I’m not going to get involved in politics. Konnan also told me that he will forever think that I only care about myself and will do what is best for me. To a certain extent he is right. He is referring to the WCW World Heavyweight Championship reign that I had, and while I thought it made sense back then I can understand the backlash from it. I know that Konnan doesn’t like me and most likely never will. I’m fine with that, though. I don’t expect everyone to like me. That is just wishful thinking.
I fully expected Brian Christopher to come into my room and punch me in the face. That didn’t happen thankfully. Brian told me he was upset over the decision to mock Jim Ross on WCW television. It was obviously decision in poor taste that Ed had pitched and we went with it. We were trying to find comedy in a situation that had nothing funny attached to it. I know that Brian is close to Jim Ross considering his father, Jerry Lawler, is good friends with Ross. I hoped that Brian would be able to get pass period of time and be able to work with myself and Ed. Brian left after saying that he just needed to get that off his chest and felt good about working with Ed and myself.
At roughly 1am I was called into Jeff Jarrett’s hotel room where Ed was sitting with several young talents. Jeff introduced the wrestlers who were AJ Styles, Ron Killings Christopher Daniels, Chris Harris, James Storm and Low Ki. I had no idea who any of those guys were except for Killings who I remembered as being a mediocre wrestler known as K-Kwik in TNA. Jeff told Ed and I that he wants those five guys to be the future of TNA. I noticed that three of the six guys were Cruiserweights. Harris and Storm had a good look but I hadn’t seen them wrestle before and didn’t know if they could cut a good promo. Jarrett made it clear that he wants those guys to be highlighted on the shows, something we weren’t aware of and now had to change any kind of booking plans we had developed previously. Jeff had the wrestlers leave the room as he had a surprise for us.
Jeff revealed to us that he had agreed to a deal with Scott Steiner, Jerry Lynn and Sabu. This would be fine if we weren’t less than twenty four hours away from the show. I spoke up and told Jeff that I didn’t appreciate having these last second additions to the roster after Ed and I had booked the first show already. Jeff apologized but I didn’t care. Jeff told us how he wanted those guys to be booked. I left the room extremely tired and stressed out over trying to figure out the best way to produce the show tomorrow night despite all of these recent additions.
I went to sleep at approx four in the morning after Ed and I put some final touches on the show. We will have to see how it translates on television but I think we did a fine job considering the circumstances.
To be continued…

WWF WrestleMania IX: The Beverly Brothers are superior to the Nasty Boys, so alright start with the pre-show match. I liked how the WrestleMania theme and intro remained the same. Was not expecting Tatanka to take the WWF Intercontinental Championship, mind you, it was hard to see which way this one would go, being that Tatanka's undefeated. Wondering how you cap off Tatanka's reign now in my head, could imagine the best way would be via injury. Hope Shawn Michaels wants a rematch. I gotta wonder if you're planning to do a WWF UK Rampage show this year. Doink the Clown and Marty Jannetty interested me little. It's a massive decline for Jannetty, who one month ago was facing the man in the match before this, Shawn Michaels for the IC title. And now he's jobbing to a clown. Dire move, should have moved this match up a bit to stop an outrageous comparison. Yokozuna beating Jim Duggan was predictable as hell. Jerry Lawler's invitational was nice, liked Owen Hart filling the spot and winning. Owen's now 2-0 at WrestleMania. Match should have gone shorter for more effect, really. Money Inc retaining the WWF Tag Team Championships was the best decision. Although now it makes the Steiner Brothers' road to this match pointless. Did like the cheap finish though, means we're going to have a rematch down the line. Luna Vachon debuting for this match? Meh. Bam Bam Bigelow was more fearless without her, especially against The Undertaker. So so happy you had Bigelow win and cut off 'Taker's streak before it had a chance to get kicked off. The match may have gone too long for my liking. Randy Savage beating Razor Ramon was a nice match, should have used a stipulation i.e. Falls Count Anywhere though. That match interested me more than Lex Luger and Mr Perfect. And this is where the cluster starts. You have the four main events on the card back to back; there's nine matches on the show, you should have spaced them out and served the other matches as filler. Seriously. Bret Hart retaining the WWF Championship from Ric Flair was expected, lovely show of wrestling here though. A decent WrestleMania, easily better than the real show which transpired. But the star ratings are pointless since you don't do them on television, it's a little ridiculous. Also some filler segments and promos in between matches would have done the show wonders. I don't write out television programs so their is no point to do star ratings for matches with no detail, and that mostly consist of jobber matches to begin with. You may believe that the last four matches are "main event matches" but they really aren't. I don't see anything wrong with putting the best matches on near the end of the show. It's my booking philosophy to put the top matches on towards the end of the show.

Thinking of updating both WWF 1993 and Russo POV sometime tonight. If not tonight, then tomorrow it will most likely happen!
