spaldoni Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 I like the little details such as the crowd attendance not being what WCW hoped for. Or how certain matches didn't deliver. Very realistic. With all the recent changes going on in our world, I wonder if some of these issues and feuds will carry over to the WWF.

Autistic Dragon Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 I'm so impressed with just how fully you've filled out your calendar. 6 PPVs, 4 TV specials and at least three hours of weekly television (did anyone think of the gauntlet reading that?). Really hyped to see Sting back in WCW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there will be fun pieces on each show to highlight plus it will tie everything together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowBlowPodcast Posted December 3 Author Report Share Posted December 3 WCW Power Hour - December 1 Gordon Solie & Kevin Sullivan bring us in to WCW Power Hour. We’re in the Georgia Mountain Center with a unique look. Solie and Sullivan are a fun crew of old school - classic heel v face playoff. We get a couple of big announcements including the moment in which Lex Luger retained the WCW United States Championship. We also see the new television champion, Ron Garvin with a big victory. We see the WCW Top 10…. WCW Champion - Ric Flair United States Champion - Lex Luger Sting Television Champion - Ron Garvin Harley Race The Junkyard Dog Tully Blanchard Hercules Arn Anderson Kevin Sullivan The Berzerker Yeah - not too exciting of a crew right now but here on the Power Hour - we’ve got a couple of debuts… first… from Cincinnati, Ohio, the former Bengal… Flyin Brian Pillman makes his debut in WCW and looks amazing in singles action. Former Television Champion The Z-Man makes his return and has a nice showing. We also see the former NWA World Tag Team Champions, the Road Warriors show up with Paul Ellering… they make it clear that the Horsemen have the titles and their coming for them! We get a big plug for WCW Future Shock which has been moved to December the 24th, live on Pay Per View from Greensboro… we will see WCW Champion Ric Flair defend his title… we’ll find out his challenger tomorrow night on World Championship Wrestling. We also see that Jesse the Body Ventura will be making his debut at Future Shock! Our main event sees Gary Hart Present his army with Abdullah the Butcher and the returning Samoans winning in six-man action. The final segment sees Kevin Sullivan get a big, huge, box delivered… he tells Gordon that it is his Christmas Present and he’s going to open it… but Gordon tells him he needs to wait… we’ll see you tomorrow night. World Championship Wrestling - December 2 - The Return of Sting! Tony Schiavone brings us into World Championship Wrestling… but he says we have to go to the back… Eric Bichoff is there and he is welcoming the Horsemen… but it is Flair, Tully, Arn, and Ole… wait a second… and JJ Dillon! What in the world is going on here? The Original Horsemen are back! We’re back and the string of big time debuts continue… Tonight we see the debut of Rick the Model Martel. Martel plays off an uber rich fashion aficionado. He handles his action in the ring with ease. The Junkyard Dog is back in WCW and he looks huge but handles himself in the ring with ease. We get a big promo and we see the RETURN OF STING! Sting comes out to an amazing ovation… he works the crowd… says he’s returning from an attack from the Horsemen but he knows at Future Shock… he is going to be the one standing across the ring from Ric Flair and he is going to end 1989… as the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION…. Wait just a moment… here comes the US Champion, Lex Luger! Luger comes out and he is pleading with Sting to give up his chance at Flair… Luger tells him that they’ve been friends for a long time… they’ve gone up and down the road… but Luger says this is his chance… his destiny is to become World Champion and Future Shock is the place for it to happen. Sting says he can’t do it… Luger says he has a trump card to play but he doesn’t want any hurt feelings with Sting… that is until… Paul E Dangerously shows up and he isn’t alone… he has got the International Triple Crown Champion (European, Mexico, & Japan)... the Great Muta! Muta doesn’t have anything to say as Paul E lays it all out on the line… he says it is simple… Muta is the International Champion… that puts him right in line to face Flair and at Future Shock - that’s exactly what is going to happen! We go to commercial with a lot in the air. We’re back with a tag team encounter… Harley Race and Bob Orton are teaming up and beating the hell out of some jobbers. Television Champion Ron Garvin looks good tonight… The Nasty Boys are also returning to WCW and they are as nasty as they come. Their not pulling their punches and without question they’ve got some ill-intentions! We’re back… Tony Schaivone is standing by with the Horsemen… in all their Glory… Flair showing off the WCW title… Arn and Tully the WCW and NWA tag titles… Ole and JJ are full of themselves… we hear about Future Shock… Flair says the list of challengers may be a mile long but it’s an inch thick when it comes to the guts and glory. He is going to show up with the title and he is going to walk away with the title as he has done before and will continue to do! Arn and Tully put over the tag titles and say that the Road Warriors may be jaw jacking but they will be the ones getting their jaws jacked if they keep it up. Ole says it is a new day in WCW - the titles are where they belong - the Horsemen are where they belong - but then we see… Jim Herd? What the hell is this guy doing? Herd isn’t much on the microphone but he does announce that next week - he’s going to announce the number one contender for the WCW title and who will face Flair at Future Shock… he also announces that Arn and Tully may have beat the Road Warriors for the tag titles last month… but they will have to do it again at Future Shock because the MATCH IS BOOKED! Main Event - Flyin Brian & The Z-Man look great in a tag team encounter against Savio Vega and Perez… but we see Estrada and Castillo come out to help Vega… this brings out Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith who pop the crowd huge to even the odds. Pillman with the flying cross body for the victory and we’ve got a lot of new faces and big news coming next week! WCW The Main Event - December 3 Eric Bichoff & Bob Caudle Main Event from the Georgia Mountain Center with Bichoff and Caudle is a fun little mix. Eric has a lot of excitement and Bob is well Bob… just an all timer. They put over the HUGE weekend of WCW action. They run through all the debuts from the week and then we see a recount of them in action tonight… Flyin Brian and the Z-Man in tag action - The SST in tag action with Abdullah and Gary Hart - Rick Martel as the millionaire model - The Nasty Boys - with a main event of Owen Hart defeating Castillo in a singles match. This was just a wrap up from the weekend and a way to bring out all the new faces for the fans to see one more time… but there was one big angle… we had Lex Luger interviewed by Bob Caudle and Luger is pleading for Sting to give up his shot at Future Shock. He is telling him that he doesn’t want to take it away from him but he has what he needs to do it if he has to. We find out that next week on Power Hour - Sting will be in the arena… we find out the card for Future Shock next Saturday on WCW… fans WCW is heating up!

Autistic Dragon Posted December 3 Report Share Posted December 3 A great set of TV that really sets the scene in WCW's new landscape. Man I wish I could hear Solie & Sullivan on Commentary. I wonder what Sullivan's gift is? Between Sting, Luger & Muta, Flair certainly isn't at a loss for challengers. Herd liked the tag title match at Starrcade so much he decided to run it back! Appreciate the updated schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaldoni Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 WCW is off and running! I love the top 10 ratings. Pillman and Zenk will bring the youthful excitement, that's for sure. Can't wait to find out what's in the box for Sullivan. I was actually getting ready to do something similar at SuperClash LOL. Look at that, the original horsemen are back together again. Great stuff! Lots of intrigue going on in the world title picture. Flair better be ready because he's got Sting, Luger and Muta gunning for him. Race and Orton is such an old school badass team. Looking forward to watching Martel, Owen and Bulldog transition to WCW. Future Shock will definitely set WCW's tone for 1990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted December 9 Author Report Share Posted December 9 WCW Power Hour - December 9 Gordon Solie & Kevin Sullivan welcome us in this week as we’ve got a loaded night of action from the Georgia Mountain Center. They kick things off by talking about this huge box… it is a wrapped present and Sullivan says it is a gift for him! Solie says he doesn’t want to see him open it until next week! They put over Future Shock… we’ll hear from Sting on the program and then tonight on WCW - We’ll hear from Jim Herd on who will face Ric Flair for the WCW title at the event. We’ve already heard that the Road Warriors will challenge Arn and Tully for the titles at the event. Right now it is time to get to the ring for our matches… Big Josh is back in WCW - he’s from the Pacific Northwest and he is tough as nails! Harley Race & Bob Orton look good in a tag team encounter. WCW Top Ten WCW Champion - Ric Flair United States Champion - Lex Luger Television Champion - Ron Garvin Sting Triple Crown Champion - The Great Muta Arn Anderson The Junkyard Dog Rick Martel Tully Blanchard Flyin Brian Pillman The Z-man After the top 10… we see Sting come out to a huge ovation from the crowd. He puts over Future Shock. He talks about not winning the title from Flair this year but he knows that with the fans behind him - he will be the one to walk into Future Shock and start the 90s with the biggest shock of the World as the new WCW Champion! Wait just a minute… Sherri Martel walks out and she goes right up to Sting. Sherri let’s Sting know that the title is one thing for a while but wouldn’t he want the best thing forever? She tells Sting that she has got a present for him but doesn’t want to spoil his Christmas too early… Sting works the crowd… Sherri says she wants to come out with Sting for his match later today… she can’t wait…. Then she plants a big kiss on his cheek… Wahoo McDaniel brings in a new talent - Tatanka. He is also a Native American. They look good in the ring together with some good speed for Tatanka and the star power and strength of Wahoo! Samu & Fatu w/ Gary Hart look good in a tag team encounter… Hart is on an inset interview putting over his he has amassed an Army to attack WCW from the inside and tear it apart… he can’t wait to really unleash his men. Sting is in action tonight against Wild Bill Irwin. We see Sherri come out with him and Sting is no selling it. Sherri continues to cheer for him but Sting is trying to ignore her. He hits the big Stinger Splash on Irwin… who stumbles around and then Sting off the top rope with a cross body for the 3-count! Sherri is acting like a cheerleader and tries to kiss Sting again but he no sells it. World Championship Wrestling - December 9 Tony Schiavone & Paul E Dangerously welcome us in for World Championship Wrestling. They talk about the big night of action… including the WCW tag team champions in action along with the WCW television champion. Plus tonight, we’ll hear from Jim Herd on who will face Ric Flair at Future Shock. Wait just a minute… Lex Luger…. Luger comes out and he pleads one more time with Sting to back off from Future Shock and give the chance to Luger… he has the trump card but doesn’t want to use it… he wants to stay friends with Sting and doesn’t want this to come between them! Schiavone puts it over but Dangerously says he doesn’t have to worry about it because it is Muta who will get the shot… no questions asked! Hercules & Paul Roma come out but they aren’t alone… they have none other than Brother Love with them! He is cheering and hooting and hollering for them. He says it is all about the Power, the Glory, and the LOOOOOOOVEEEE! Tommy Rich makes his return to WCW and the Wildfire is looking good. He is going to be a workhorse here in 1990… what could the future hold for him? WCW Television Champion Ron Garvin is out and he’s got a couple of things to say about the challengers here in WCW right now. He says that this title means he walks out on television every week and when he’s in the ring this title is on the line… this brings out Rick Martel who works the crowd. Let has got none other than Brother Love with him along with Hercules and Roma. Garvin wonders what they’re doing out here. Martel says that he is putting the challenge out right now… he wants to face Garvin for the TV title and Ronnie says anytime! Garvin says he’s got a match right now and Martel can watch and learn! Ron Garvin defeated Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker - Martel watched on with Brother Love, Hercules, and Roma. Garvin with a huge right hand that puts Parker down and out and the Television Champion retains his gold. He welcomes Martel and company in… but they don’t move yet. Savio Vega comes out with his Boricuas…. Savio is in singles action and looks pretty mean tonight. The Boricuas take their shots when they can. They cut a promo after the match where Savio talks about Pillman, Z-Man, Owen, & Bulldog. He says the Boricuas are going to show them what happens if they continue to mess around! The moment we’ve been waiting for… here comes the Horsemen. Jim Herd comes out… then we hear Sting’s music… he makes his way to the ring… and he’s got Sherri with him or behind him… Dangerously stops everything quickly and brings in Muta. Paul E clearly states that Muta is the true world champion and when he defeats Flair - he will join all four titles together and be regarded as the premiere professional wrestler of not only the world but of the UNIVERSE! Jim Herd then starts to talk but out walks Lex Luger. He asks Sting one more time but Sting shakes his hand and then shakes his head… Jim Herd then announces that at Future Shock… we’ll see the Road Warriors taking on Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard for the Unified WCW/NWA tag team titles… we’ll see Rick Martel challenge Ron Garvin for the WCW television championship… we’ll see the finals of the US tag title scramble… it will be Power and Glory taking on The Nasty Boys. Plus… the WCW World Title will be on the line when Ric Flair defends against…. STING! Luger then walks over and pulls the microphone down… the crowd is cheering but Luger is shaking his head… he goes on to say… that there is a by-law… in the WCW Championship Rules…. It states that at any point… the WCW United States Champion can turn in the title to challenge the World Champion… Luger takes off the belt and gives the title to Herd… Luger says that he is turning in the title right now to take on Ric Flair at Future Shock! Sting can’t believe it. Sherri is hugging him and crying? Dangerously covers his mouth out of shock…. Flair smiles… what have we just seen? Owen Hart comes in and does a great job in a singles match… we hear that he will be taking on Jushin Thunder Liger on December the 24th at Future Shock! We see Davey Boy cheering him on. We find out that Pillman, Z-Man, and Davey Boy will take on Savio and the Boricuas at Future Shock in a six-man tag. Our Main Event tonight is a WCW Tag Team Championship Showcase with Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard defending against The Junkyard Dog & Big Josh. It is a decent match - JYD may be past his prime but he’s got some star power. Big Josh looks good as he and Anderson have an interesting interaction. Tully is able to finish the touches and get the win with a nasty roll up with a hand full of tights. The Horsemen hold both sets of the titles, NWA and WCW, high but then out of the back come the Road Warriors and my oh my does the crowd pop! Anderson and Tully back off a little bit and the Road Warriors jump into the ring… the Horsemen think they have outsmarted the Warriors… but wait just a damn minute… who is that behind Arn and Tully? OMG! FORMER WCW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… SHAWN MICHAELS AND MARTY JANNETTY! THEY ARE HERE! WE GOTTA GO! WCW The Main Event - December 10 Eric Bischoff & Bob Caudle bring us in and we see the announcement from last night… Jim Herd announces that Sting is going to face Flair at Future Shock… but then Luger hands in the US title to secure his shot and he takes the match versus Flair at Future Shock. We’ll hear from Luger tonight! Plus, tonight, we’ll see the Nasty Boys, Sting is here, and we’ll see the Horsemen in six-man action. Let’s head to the ring. We get a couple of fun bouts… the Nasty Boys win a squash and actually play face a little bit… not overtly but rather just looking to the crowd for approval. We see the Boricuas (Castillo & Estrada) in tag action with Perez outside the ring roughing up the opponents when he gets the chance. A former WCW guy who is back… but under a different incarnation… Crush returns to WCW with some bleached hair and an orange outfit. He handles his competition without problem and finishes him off with a double hand chokeslam! Now, the moment we’ve been waiting for, Luger comes out… Bischoff says he doesn’t want to beat around the bush… he wants to ask the question plain and simple… WHY? Luger smiles… he says that he didn’t want it to happen like this. He didn’t want to do this. He says he HAD to do this! Luger was the one who was supposed to face Flair but it was Sting who took his spot and Sting didn’t win. Now people are trying to spin this where I (Luger) TOOK Sting’s shot… but you need to remember that the US title secures him as the number one contender… look at the top 10! I (Luger) was number 1! Sting… this was never meant to be a me vs you thing… in fact… Sting I don’t think I can win the title without you! Sting… I am asking you… as my friend… stand with me and help me win the World Title at Future Shock. Be in my corner. I know Flair will have the Andersons and Tully and JJ… we know their tricks… we know what they’ll do… I need the backup and Sting… friend… you’re all that I have left! We go back to another couple of bouts… we see Gary Hart bring out his men… but he’s got a new one with him… he calls him the Berzerker! This big oaf is a nasty competitor and we see him destroy his opponent. The crazy part is… he throws him on top of the turnbuckle and then hoists him over the top rope and gets a 10-count out victory! Our next match up sees The Z-man in singles action and he looks great. Following up from earlier… Sting is here and he’s with Bob Caudle… Sting says he doesn’t hold Luger responsible for what happened… in the sense that Luger was taking the shot that he rightfully deserves… but so do I. Lex… I am telling you right now… I will be there…. I will be there for you and brother… I will stop the Horsemen with everything I’ve got but inside the ring… it is all about you and Flair… may the best man win! Sherri is then out there causing a fuss and wondering why Sting would help!?! Main Event time… Harley Race and Bob Orton are in tag team action against the team of Wahoo & Tatanaka. This is a decent match… nothing crazy. Harley and Orton use their experience to get control and end up trapping Tatanaka while Wahoo tries to get involved but it’s too late and we see Race drop that nasty knee right to his skull and get the 3-count.

Autistic Dragon Posted December 9 Report Share Posted December 9 I remembered you had a rule that the US champion could trade the belt in for a World title shot but I was still surprised Lex would swoop in and take Sting's spot. Sting's a bigger man than I am agreeing to watch Lex's back after that. Speaking of Sting, i'd keep an eye on Sherri if I were him. Arn & Tully have enough trouble with the Road Warriors already but now the Rockers are on their trail? Gary Hart is building one scary stable. First the Samoans followed by the Berserker. Brother Love has a pretty impressive crew himself and he has a chance to leave Future Shock with a good amount of gold. Owen Hart vs Jushin Thunder Luger. Nuff said. Wahoo and Tatanka make a natural pair, as do Race and Orton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet-Left Posted December 11 Report Share Posted December 11 Future Shock is being built up so well! Ron Garvin versus Rick Martel should be really good and the Road Warriors versus Tully & Arn could be off the chain! Loved seeing Lex Luger steal Sting's spot, that's got to ... sting.

spaldoni Posted December 14 Report Share Posted December 14 Great job on putting the pieces together in WCW. The big news is Luger using the ultimate trump card to get his title shot. A lot of intrigue going on with Luger, Sting, Sherri and the Horsemen. I love the stables being put together. Hart and Brother Love have some impressive clients. I'm really hoping Herc and Roma get a big push. A Garvin/Martel feud could work wonders for the TV title scene. Not only do Tully and Arn have the Road Warriors to worry about, but now the Rockers have arrived! There's a really good mix going on in WCW with vets like Race, Orton, Rich, JYD and Wahoo blended in with exciting new era stars like Owen, Liger, Crush, Tatanka and Boricuas. And what's in the box??? Future Shock is definitely going to set the tone for 1990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted December 15 Author Report Share Posted December 15 WCW Power Hour - December 15 Gordon Solie & Kevin Sullivan bring us in to the Power Hour with a big run down of what happened last week… we see the footage of Lex Luger turning in the US title to get his shot at Ric Flair at Future Shock.

Sullivan and Gordon put over this duo and Sullivan says he is intrigued by what Sherri is doing with Sting and it may lead to him becoming better than ever! Gordon and Sullivan also put over the big box… it says don’t open until Christmas…. Sullivan says he can’t wait! In the ring this week, we get a couple of fun matches as some of the fresh new names of WCW are making their cases here.

We will also see the debut of Jushin Thunder Liger as he takes on Owen Hart! We get a couple more matches as the JYD comes out and does some decent work… we also see Orton & Race in a tag match… then then we see Power and Glory with Brother Love! As we saw earlier… Sherri wasn’t too happy with Sting… and Sting… well he doesn't quite know why she’s following him around… She tells him she’s leaving… Sting says okay… he’s got a match… Sting is in our main event against Lt. James Earl and he handles him without question… but after the scorpion deathlock… we see Sherri. She turns Sting’s attention and acts like she’s apologizing… but instead… she’s holding him up for… Dangerous Dan Spivey! OMG! The 6’10” monster! He comes from behind of Sting and nails him in the back of the head. Spivey is hammering away at the Stinger. We close out the broadcast with Sting getting POWERBOMBED in the middle of the ring and Sherri jumping up in Spivey’s arms!

World Championship Wrestling - December 16 WCW opens this week with footage from last week… we see the announcement of Sting as the number one contender… then we see Luger turn in the title for the shot… then we see Luger call out Sting to be in his corner and finally we see Sting accept. Tony Schiavone & Paul E Dangerously bring us in and put over the huge night we’ve got as we’re a week away from Future Shock. They also talk about what happened on the Power Hour when Dan Spivey debuted out of nowhere and powerbombed Sting! We’ll see the Horsemen in six-man action tonight… plus we’ll hear from the Rockers and the Road Warriors! Right now let’s go to the ring for our opening contest! The Nasty Boys get a nice win… again they are almost getting some cheers… but really they are just being themselves and getting acceptance from the crowd for the armpit moves and nasty behavior. Gary Hart presents the SST and they are nasty. They beat the hell out of their opponents. We also see The Berzerker out there… these three are really doing a number on their opponents until we see JYD and Big Josh come down! They clear the ring but there is something brewing here. Rugged Ron Garvin, television champion, is in singles action tonight against Wild Bill. Garvin handles him pretty well and we see Rick Martel come out with Brother Love as they watch on… We get a big promo from Lex Luger who says he is sacrificing everything next week to go against Ric Flair. If he wins… he gets the World Title… if he doesn’t… he has forfeit the US title and must compete to get it back. This brings out the Horsemen who surround the ring and Flair and Luger go toe to toe on the mic for a couple of minutes. Flair continues to point out how he has beat Luger before and he’ll do it again. This time there must be a clear winner… no stoppage…. And Flair is going to wreck Luger’s knees! Luger then comes back with the fact that Flair has broken his back before and come Future Shock… Luger is going to put him in the rack and there’s nothing that can happen for him to let go and break his back like a twig! The Horsemen start to stir and get up on the apron but here comes Sting! He’s welcoming them in… standing next to Luger… Wildfire Tommy Rich is in action… we hear that he will face the Great Muta at Future Shock for the Triple Crown International Championship! Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith are in tag team action and put on a good showcase. Thunder Liger is pumped up in a big way during this one. Michael Rotundo & Curtis Hughes make their return/debuts here in WCW as a formidable tag team. We get another big promo with the Rockers who come out and start to talk but the Road Warriors get involved quickly. We hear how the Road Warriors are the first in line and then the line is going to reset! The Road Warriors are going to be at the top of the mountain. The Rockers talk about beating everyone in their path… no matter how big or bad they were…. They’ve wiped the mat with painted faces before and they will do it again! Savio Vega is in singles action and he’s got the Boricuas with him. Savio is building some decent steam. Kona Crush makes his presence known when he destroys some jobber and almost throws him over the ropes into the crowd! We get another promo with Sherri who has Spivey with her. We see the situation from Power Hour when she distracted Sting and Spivey came in to powerbomb him! Sherri says that she needs a real man in her life and Sting couldn’t cut it. So she went bigger… badder… and better… Spivey says he is here to destroy Sting… win back the gold… and shock the world! Main Event time… six-man tag team action… we’ve got Flair, Arn, & Tully taking on Flyin Brian, The Z-Man, & The JYD. Pillman and Flair really get the crowd going. This is a match that a lot of people want to see. JYD… once again has the name but that’s about it. Z-Man has the look and that may be about it. Ole and JJ get involved outside leading to Flair pinning Z-Man. We see the Horsemen start to put the beatdown on until Sting and Luger come out. We see Sting taking on Arn and Tully while Luger gets his hands on Flair. Ole and JJ continue to help with the numbers and then Pillman, Z-Man, and JYD all get back up to their feet and the ring clears with Luger yelling out to Flair… these two face off next week with the World Title on the line!

Autistic Dragon Posted December 15 Report Share Posted December 15 Sherri sure got over Sting quick. Though if she's looking for a man to take to the top, Spivey is a great choice. The Rockers earn some serious respect by not backing down from the Road Warriors. Wildfire has a chance to go International when he takes on Muta.

spaldoni Posted December 15 Report Share Posted December 15 Out with Sting and in with Spivey. Sherri and Spivey make a great team. Could Sherri be the one to catapult Spivey into superstardom. I'm really looking forward to two work horses like Garvin and Martel going at it. Luger and Flair are really hyping up their upcoming match. Road Warriors vs. Rockers...bring it on! Pillman, Z-Man, Liger, Owen, talk about a stacked LHW division. I'll be calling my cable operator for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
