WCW- Where the Big Boys Play

[Dlemons]

So this will be my universe. I’m bigger on writing than I am adding a razzle dazzle presentation. The story line here is this will take place on the very first Nitro. Below are the results for the last ppv Bash at the Beach, a day before the first Nitro airs. I’ll be using WWE2k22 and basically all my writing will be based off how the matches unfold, while I will take a little creative liberty for story telling purposes.

UNITED STATES CHAMPION
Ric Flair

TELEVISION CHAMPION
Ricky The Dragon Steamboat

CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION

Barry Windham v. Tx tornado v. Jeff Jarrett v. One man gang

Winner of this match gets a title shot of their choice on the very first Nitro. This was the epitome of what good ole JR would call a slobber knocker. Matched concluded when Tx tornado subbed one man gang at same time windham pinned Jeff Jarrett, but ref only saw the pin. Windham wins in a controversy.


FACES OF FEAR v. Young Bucks

Solid action. What was suppose to be a squash match for Meng and Barbarian turned into anything but….. The Young Bucks were highly competitive in this match. The tag bout came to a conclusion when a frustrated Meng wouldn’t release the Tongan Death Grip well after the tap. Young Bucks win by DQ


Eddie Guerrero v. Tajiri

Great match. The creative offense between the two was very fun to watch. Match concluded when Tajiri spit green mist, missing guerrero and hitting mr Fuji. Guerrero landed the three amigos but the frog splash was countered by tajiri. Tajiri rolled Guerrero up and the ref made the three count despite Eddie having his hand on the rope on the count of two.


CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Jushin liger v. Rey Mysterio (c)

Another incredible match. So many high flying spots. Crowd seemed restless, but no idea why as these two were putting out pure art. Match finally ended after Jushin liger hit a second shooting star press.



TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Hollywood Blondes v. Harlem Heat (c)

Entertaining tag action. Several near pin falls for both teams. However, the champions retained after nailing a Heat Seeker on Stunning Steve Austin.


CHAMPIONSHIP V. CHAMPIONSHIP
US Champ Ric Flair v. TV Champion Ricky Steamboat

This was another flair/steamboat epic. The crowd finally woke up and were going nuts for these two. Fight finally ended when flair slapped on a figure four and arn anderson grabbed flairs arm for extra leverage. Dragon eventually tapped.


Bam Bam Bigelow v. Macho Man

This was a pin fall anywhere match. These guys fought in just about every corner pocket of the arena. Both bloody and battered, the match concluded when bam bam was laying on the floor outside the ring. Macho was gojng for a flying elbow, but DDP came out of nowhere and chair shot macho in the back. Macho fell off the turnbuckle and to the outside. Bam bam picked macho up and powerbombed his head onto the steel steps. Bam bam got the pin, and afterwards medics had to strap macho to a gurney and take him out the arena in an ambulance.


WCW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Sid Vicious v. Hulk Hogan (c)

This was an okay match. Crowd loved it despite areas of little to nothing action wise. Ended up being a slow burn though as the ending really picked things up. Sid landed a powerbomb and was just about over the cage when hogan grabbed him by the boot and slowly but surely brought him back into the ring. Hogan reversed a second powerbomb attempt and landed a big boot followed by a leg drop. Hogan won in the cage with a pin



MATCH OF THE NIGHT

PIN OF THE NIGHT
Hulk Hogan

[Dlemons]

WCW Monday Nitro
Atlanta, Georgia

Show starts off with Eric Bischoff, Ted Turner, JJ Dillonand The President of New Japan Wrestling Antonio Inoki in the ring. Also in the ring joining them is the World Champions for both companies Hulk Hogan and Kazuchika Okada.Bischoff announces that WCW is not only going to be on prime time television, but WCW will also be working hand in hand with New Japan Wrestling in the future. The vision is to give the fans all the fights they deserve to see. They go on about how the future for WCW is bright and with Champions like Hogan and Okada representing the companies it would be nonstop high quality entertainment. The celebration was cut short when Mr Fuji and The WWF World Champion Yokozuna came over the screen. Mr. Fujisaid he highly respects President Inoki,but to go in business with WCW would be foolish. He goes on to say their character is personified by the face of their company Hulk Hogan, who has been ducking Yokozuna for years. A coward. Whether it’s to WCW or a movie set Hogan is always running from the REAL champion.

goes to commercial as the cameras zoom in on a visibly pissed off Hulk Hogan.

One man gang w/ Ted Dibiasev. Jake Sallisaw

One man Gang absolutely decimated the local wrestler. Sallisaw, a replacement for a local karate master turned pro wrestler Ernest Miller. Rumor has it DiBiase paid off Miller because Money Inc viewed him as a real threat. When the match started not only did One Man Gang make quick work of his opponent, but the crowd cheered when he hit a corner splash followed up with doing the worm capped by a stiff elbow drop. He calls it The Initiation. The crowd ate it up. Maybe he does have personality.

When we come back Mean Gene is standing with Lex Luger. Lugersays what DDP and Bam Bam did to his good friend Macho at Bash at the Beach-was downright evil. He wants a fight. Luger says if they have the balls then tonight on Nitro theylll settle it in a tag match against himself and Sting.

Eddie Guerrero and Malenko v. Tajiri and Great Muta

Great match. Perhaps a little too long, but some really top level wrestling. Things were going good until Eddie refused to leave the fight. He had opportunities to tag Malenko and chose to keep fighting. Malenko, frustrated… left the ring and walked to the back. Eventually the two on one became too much for Guerrero who succumbed to a Tajiri armbar.

It’s reported that Randy Savage is still in bad condition. Updates are limited, but it’s reported that Macho may have suffered a severe concussion. The announcers team wishes him a speedy recovery and promise to keep the viewers updated.

Chris Jericho v. Marty Janetty

This is a solid match between two hot prospects. Janetty has just signed with WCW after his partner with the WWF turned on him on live tv. Prior to that he was one half of the hottest tag team in the WWF.While Chris Jericho has a pretty nice cult following himself, as he’s made a namein both Mexico and Japan. The match was actually pretty entertaining. The time limit was set at fifteen minutes, which ended up saving Janetty who was on the wrong end of a Lion Tamerright as time ran out. Both men showed respect after the match.

JJ Dillon comes out and says the four way that opened up Bash at the Beachended in controversy. The outcome is not fair to Texas Tornado who subbed his opponent at the same time Barry Windham pinned Jeff Jarrett. Tonight Windham and Texas Tornado will go one on one to see who gets the title shot of their choice.

Jeff Jarrett v. Alex Wright

Jeff Jarrett who’s a former Intercontinental Champion for the WWF was matched up against a young prospect in Alex Wright. Watching the entrances for both men you would have sworn you were watching a dance competition. When the bell rang, Alex did more than hold his own, but the ring savvy and experience put Jarrett a step ahead. Who was able to dodge a top rope missile drop kick and slap on a figure four for the tap!

The announcers frantically bring us to the back where DDP and Bam Bam are attacking Sting.Security and WCW personnel were eventually able to break up the mugging. Sting looks in bad shape. The announcers promise to keep the fans updated.

Anderson & Benoit v. Hollywood Blondes

This match got a big pop from the crowd. Great back n forth that ended when Austin went for a clothesline and Benoit reversed it into a Crippler Cross Face.Huge win for The Horseman. The red hot Hollywood Blondes are on a skid.

It is announced that Lex Luger will have to pick a new partner as Sting will not be able to compete tonight. Next up we have

Wrath v. Disco Inferno

This ended up being a major upset. Wrath was dominating pretty much the entire match, but kept avoiding the pin. He was enjoying making an example out of Disco. The match was interrupted with a blue smokey mist. The announcers commented on how much colder it just got in the arena. A bloodied Disco took advantage of the chaos and rolled Wrath up for the pin! Major upset!

Ric Flair comes out and cuts a promo as the Champ Champ. Flair goes on about how Steamboat is good wooooo, but not great woooooooo. Flair says while he loves being double champ, his focus is to win the world title. He hands the TV Title to potential Horsemanb]Curt Hennig. JJ Dillon comes out and says legally he can’t do much about Flair giving the title to his pal, but since Hennig is the TV Champ he has to defend the title tonight. And with drop the mic vibes JJ announces Hennigs opponent will be The Dragon.The crowd erupts.

WCW Television Championship
Ricky Steamboat v. Curt Hennig (c)

Good match. The Dragon was a machine tonight. Hennig is always high class but it was clear the time off was playing a huge factor. Hennig always seemed half a second behind. The match ended before the time limit when Steamboat his a flying cross body for the 1-2-3. Steamboat celebrated with the crowd while a frustrated and defeated Hennig headed to the back.

Highlights from The Four Way match at Bash at the Beachplays. The replay of Tornado making One Man Gang tap, while Windham is pinning Jarret plays. What a mess. If that’s how exciting the first match was, imagine how great the rest of the ppv was. You can order the encore tonight for half the price! Up next in our co main event we get Barry Windham v. Texas Tornado to see who gets the guaranteed title shot of their choice.

Barry Windham v. Texas Tornado

Windham who’s being scouted by The Four Horseman looked good. TX Tornado got a huge crowd pop from the fans who recognized him as Kerry von Erich.This was a great match, Tornado was throwing everything plus the kitchen sink, but a battle tested veteran like Windham was able to weather the storm. At some point it looked like Windham wrapped his knuckles with something and cold cocked Tornado who dropped like a sack of bricks. Windham immediately went for the pin and got the 1-2-3 for the win. Right or wrong, it looks like Barry Windham is guaranteed a title shot of his choosing.

When Nitro comes back from the break the announce team is recapping the evenings events. The atmosphere of this first Nitro feels like a pay per view. What an incredible live show and we haven’t even made it to the Main Event!

*SELF HIGH FIVE*

DDP & Bam Bam v. Luger and ?

Bam Bam & DDP are in the ring when Luger comes out. He stays at the top of the ramp while the crowd waits in excitement to see who the mystery partner is?!!!

*HARD TIMES plays over the arena*

It’s The Big Bossman!

DDP & Bam Bam v. Lex Luger and The Big Bossman

Great match. Bossman was a true equalizer. The match ended when DDP, escaped a Torture Rack,rolled out the ring and started to head to the back. He backed into Sting..who was also holding a baseball bat. Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t, this sent DDP back to the ring but he never took his eyes off Sting. DDP walked right into a Torture Rack where he inevitably tapped out. The show went off the air with Lugers hand being raised, while Bossman and Bam Bam continued to brawl throughout the crowd.

Bam Bam Continued to beat up La Parka after the match and was about to use the chair in a gruesome way before The Big Bossman came down and made the save with his night stick in hand. Bam bam wanted no part and got out the ring. Both men hollered obscenities at each other as the show went to commercial.

After the match Janety and Jericho escaped to the back before Meng and Barbarian could get ahold of them.

This was a major opportunity for TX Tornado as Psycho Sid just fought Hogan for the world title. The match was mostly dominated by Sid, but Tornado was not easy to put away.

Tajiri & Muta v. Benoit & Anderson

Another good tag team test for The New Japan pair, as they went head to head with Benoit & Anderson of the prestigious Four Horsemen. Lots of back in forth action. Match ended when Benoit had Tajiri in a crippler cross face by the ropes. This allowed Muta to spit the green mist in Benoit eyes without the ref noticing. Tajiri took advantage and reversed the cross face into an armbar where Benoit eventually tapped. They go to commercial as Arn is checking on Benoit.

And he’ll happily bring the tv title back to the horseman for a spot in the group. Flair says he might just have a deal woooooooo show me what you can do pal. Hennig walked to the back visibly pissed

One Man Gang w/ DiBiase v. Norman Smiley

When we return to the action we have One Man Gang in the ring with DiBiase. DiBiase says the four way match a week ago was a fluke. Nobody in the back has what it takes to beat his guy fair and square. Any comer is welcome. Fan favorite Norman Smiley answers the call. The match was rather quick as Norman found himself on the wrong side of a few power moves followed by The Initiation.

Spoiler

One Man Gang via pin

Eddie runs into malenko in the back. Says it wasn’t cool that malenko left during the match. Malenko inquired why he cared because Guerrero didn’t even look his way for a tag. Eddie ask if malenko has a problem, the vibe was pins and needles when the Hollywood blondes walked up and started making fun of the two. When tension peaked, the two teams agreed to have a match later on nitro

Hollywood Blondes v.Guerrero and Malenko

Awesome match. Hollywood blondes picked up a much needed win. After the match Eddie and malenko continued to express frustration with one another. This time Eddie heading to the locker rooms first.

Spoiler

Wrath

Y2Js v. Natural Disasters

A little unfair, Jericho and Janetty have been partners for a week and they’re already facing one of the best teams in the world. Natural Disasters won with a little help from jimmy hart. The newly formed Y2Js were very impressive. A little more experience as a team and they’ll be right in the mix.

One Man Gang w/ DiBiase v. Hacksaw Jim Duggan

Violent match. Hacksaw had the upperhand until DiBiase started distracting the ref. He told the ref that they have a deal?

Dean Malenko v. Tajiri

We’ve already had some borderline classics since New Japan has entered the picture. This match was high quality from the opening bell. Towards the end Eddie seemed to be trying to help, but when he distracted the ref another New Japan superstar Shinsuke Nakamara hit Malenko with a kinasha. Team New a Japan are crushing the competition. WCW is struggling and Eddie malenkos relationship is souring.

Steiner Brothers v. The Hollywood Blonds

Before the match, the Tag Team Champs Harlem Heat came out to the commentators table. The match was pretty good. Steiners strategy was very amateur wrestling. Suplex galore.

A mixture of boos and hogan chants go through the arena

Juvy & Psicosis v. Jushin Liger & Ultimo Dragon

Exceptional back n forth entertainment. Mexico v. Japan. Juvy had Ultimo beat until Liger made the save. The match went back n forth until Liger tapped Psicosis out with a Thunder Storm. Juvy and Liger will be one for the ages.

Spoiler

Malenko calls out Guerrero to a match at Road Wild. No animosity. Just a one on one match to settle some of their differences. Eddie agrees, even offers his hand but right before Malenko goes to shake Chavo Guerrero comes out of nowhere and attacks Malenko. Eddie acted surprised and looked more like an innocent bystander. Chavo grabbed a mic and said if Malenko wants Eddie he has to get through him first. Malenko accepts for a match and a ref is sent to the ring.

Dean Malenko v. Chavo Guerrero jr.

Good match. Chavo is a blue chipper for sure. Malenko was just too much in the end as he countered a three amigo into a clover leaf for the sub. After…. Eddie attacked Malenko from behind. Eddie and Chavo both hit frog splashes one after the other before the security could do much.

Spoiler

Flair, Anderson and Benoit make their way to the ring. Flair says Hennig, Windham and Jarrett all dropped the ball, and if you want the job done right you just have to do it yourself.

In addition, he says at Road Wild,Hennig, Windham and Jarrett will have a triple threat match to see who’s the fourth member of The Horseman!

Hennig,Windham and Jeff Jarrett v. Muta,Tajiri and Shinsuke Nakamara

Great match. The Last Samurais won in a highly competitive match. The three Americans clearly had trouble trusting one another and this cost them in the end. Muta, Tajiri and now Nakamara have made quite the impression on the US. Meanwhile, the Americans seem tangled up and off their game.

Rick Steiner v. Booker T

Scott Steiner and Stevie Ray both took to the booth. Real good singles action. Rick who’s known for his maniac start to matches was no different here. He mangled and strangled booker t for a good five minutes before Stevie ray pulled booker out for a reset. The second go around was much better for booker, but the match ended when Rick was able to hit a flying bulldog on booker t for the pin. If Rick can do it again on Sunday we will have new TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!

Arn Anderson v. Ricky Steamboat (c)
Non Title

Awesome match. Enforcer did a number on Steamboat which one would think is the only point tonight. Doesn’t seem like The Horseman particularly care for the winner or loser as long as punishment is dished out. However, in pound for pound best wrestler fashion Steamboat hit a second flying cross body on Anderson for the pin. Steamboat and Flair at Road Wild will bring the house down. Guaranteed.
