TEW: World Championship Wrestling 2000 - Righting the Ship

[DeToxRox]

WCW was in a state of disarray in 2000. The top youngsters in the company bolted for greener pastures in the WWF, and the wrestlers left were content with their garunteed contracts and just phoned in. Enter Vince Russo, whos shoot on Hulk Hogan cost the company even more money, but more importantly, any semblance of credibility left.

It is now December 2000, and the WWF is steamrolling the competition. WCW and ECW are nearing the brink of elimination and it is up to me to fix WCW in hopes of being able to bring back the Monday Night Wars to their full potential.

WCW

World Champion: Scott Steiner
US Champion: Hugh G. Rection
Tag Team Champions: The Insiders (DDP & Nash)
Cruiserweight Champion: Mike Sanders

The roster is so bloated right now I'll wait to overview it until I fix it how I want it.

Is a guy named Blitzkrieg in the database, or had he already messed up his spine by now? He was a WCW cruiserweight i liked, which was odd since i didnt like pro wrestling.
