What if Eric Bischoff actually was able to purchase the company?
What if they continued to go at war with WWE?
Would they do better?
Would they do worse?
My friends, this is an attempt at bringing WCW into the new generation, using Fire Pro Returns, the game. Why Fire Pro? Because of the level of depth the game gives, especially on the simulation side.
I will be using Desertpunk's WCW 2013 Redux roster, and following his whole guidelines.
For those wondering, here are the guidelines that he's laid out about the show.
*Tuesday Night hosts WCW Resurrection, this is WCW's flagship show that has been on the air since WCW landed on FX. In this timeline WCW began airing on FX long before NipTuck and other shows elevated the network. In this timeline, it is a steady prime time ratings draw.
*Wednesday night is for THUNDER which airs on WGN and has since WWE Superstars parted ways with WGN. It is the B show and only a hour long.
*Come late Saturday nights on FX it's time for WCW Saturday Night. It's easily the C show It's more kin to the current NXT product if anything else. This is were GCW talent debuts for the most part.
*Georgia Championship Wrestling was reopened in name only, it is the current developmental promotion for WCW. It's offices are right across from the Powerplant and they host events weekly.
*The Current WCW is financially sound and can acquire any top tier talent they wish. They have been known to steal or sign talent away from WWE. However they are a clear #2 promotion to this timelines WWE.
*This WCW is leagues beyond TNA however and even farther over ROH who in this timeline struggles to keep talent even more.
*Fall Brawl hosts War Games.
*WW3 is basically the Royal Rumble with the winner facing the champ at Starrcade.
*Spud's note: Cause of the lack of a true 30 man rumble, we're just going to do 4 8-man battle royales and have the winners face off in a 4 man battle royale.
*Bash at the Beach is centered around a 1 night 16 man Tournament.
