Kane and Kole were the early WCW names of Harlem Heat (later known as Booker T and Stevie Ray)

I think I'm going to switch their names to their more well known versions, otherwise I'm gonna be super confused.

I've also put out quite a few negotiation requests, but we'll wait til guys sign before discussing them.

=====================================

My Notes: We did somethings well. Ric Flair is the biggest star we have. Vader and Rude are solid top heels that we can do somethings with, and they should be able to help build up Cactus and Davey.

I'm really dissapointed that Regal and Benoit didn't click. I had high expectations for the 2 of them, and thought they could have a nice little feud for the TV Title. I'm also slightly dissapointed with the Hollywood Blondes match. The 4 guys in that match should have been able to have a match that was better than a D.

Krusher Kong will never see TV again.

My Notes:

Benoit had a really good dark match, even on a bad night for him. I think Benoit-Eaton can be one of those matches that can always fill a spot on the card for us. A manager may help Benoit, and he may be an option for the 4th Horsemen. I would have liked to get Flair onto the card somewhere, but there wasn't a spot for him.

Keiji "The Great Muta" Mutoh rejected negotiations with me as he feels he can make more money elsewhere.

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan rejected negotiations with me as he didn't think it was a good career move at the time.

In other negotiations, we were able to sign Jay Reso aka Christian Cage to a developmental deal, Fit Finlay to a per appearance deal, Alex Wright to a developmental deal and John Layfield to a developmental deal. We also signed Devon Storm to a per appearance deal, which should allow us to let him develop at the Power Plant, while still working an occasional dark match for us.

I do need to get Flair involved in something soon tho, and I should have something good once my mystery guy debuts. I need to figure out how to get some better matches out there.

Show Rating: B

Show Notes: This show can be considered a success, it should have increased our popularity

My Thoughts: Another really good show. We need to find a better play by play guy but Tony didn't hurt us too much tonight. Flair is a great worker. I'm not sure if they can both go that long, but a 60 minute match at Starrcade is a possibility. Rick Rude and Davey Boy's storyline has really picked up, and should continue to at least Starrcade.

Next month's PPV is going to be Battle Bowl: The Lethal Lottery, so our storylines will continue a little longer than normal.

We had a 5.07 buyrate for Halloween Havoc. Pretty good, but still quite a bit behind the WWF.

WCW Main Event did a 12.10 rating on TBS
WWF Superstars did a 30.51 rating on USA and a 5.02 on TSN
WWF Raw's Friday UK showing did a 3.27 rating

We are at the point where we can negotiate new TV contracts, so we are going to try to get a better timeslot for WCW Main Event, and possibly Canadian broadcast partners for both shows.

The TV negotiation period is upon us so we will be

Show Rating: B-

Show Notes: I think this show might have actually hurt our overall popularity

======================

My thoughts: Well this is Tony Schiavone's last show as our play-by-play announcer. I suspect that he will have a role as a backstage interviewer with us, but Scott Hudson will announce tomorrow's Main Event show, while Lance Russell will make his debut on next week's Saturday Night show.

Dissapointing show from both an angles and match quality point of view. I really thought Vader and Steamboat would put on a B+ match, at worst. I need to start giving Bobby Eaton some wins. He is a solid midcard guy who has had a bunch of good matches for us. He might be a good guy for a minor feud with Ron Simmons for the TV title. Either that or find him a full time tag partner and let him go for the tag belts.

===========================================

My Thoughts: Good show. Like I said after Saturday Night, Bobby Eaton is a valuable performer. Him and Benoit are 2 guys in the midcard right now who will give us a really good match night after night. I gave Booker T a shot at a more advanced slot, but the fans weren't ready for him in that spot. I need another midcard face tag team. Benoit and Zenk didn't have a great match tonight, but I may consider teaming them up on a more regular basis and working a little program with the Harlemt Heat.

I'll be rooting for Stunning Steve - I always thought that that guy deserved a main-event push pre-Stone Cold era. A Flair/Austin program in 1993-1994 would have ruled.

Yeah I felt the same way. This was the time period that I really got into pro wrestling and even tho he was a heel, he had that certain something that really drew you in. His feuds with Steamboat, both the tag team feud and their US title feud were great stuff. Then Hogan came in and ruined everything. Hopefully I can build some of my young talent up to the levels they reached in real life.

WCW World Tag Team Title
Prestige: 61.6%, down 1.6%

WCW United States Title
Prestige: 65.9%, up 0.7%

WCW World Television Title

All the titles are down a tad. Nothing too major prestige wise, but we'd like to get the prestige moving in the opposite direction.

My Thoughts: Good show. I really advanced Vader-Jack to the point I want it to be at going into the PPV. Sting vs Sid is probably ready to go also. Flair-DiBiase and Smith-Rude need to be focused on for the last 2 shows, with our tag fued also nearing completion. I'll have to look into what I want to go to next, but I'm going to start a Rhodes-Austin storyline.

Show Rating: B+ Show Notes: This show can be considered a success, it should have increased our popularity.

My Thoughts: Great show. I probably would have liked to book one more match on the card, but all-in-all it was a good effort. If you couldn't tell, The Deadman is Mark Calloway, aka the Undertaker. I'm really dissapointed in our tag division. I don't know what to do to get things going as far as that is concerned. This should be the end of at least 3 of our storylines, with Rude-Smith, Sting-Sid and Flair-DiBiase done, and probably Cactus-Vader done as well.
