The Rebuilding of WCW

[Travis40]

April 1st, 2001​

WCW was in dire need of something to turn the product around. The sponsors have left WCW, they’ve lost their TV shows. They’ve lost tons of workers. WCW is pretty much dead. In a surprising move, AOL-Time Warner decided to sell WCW to Eric Bischoff for $9 Million. Bischoff had to find more wrestlers, a TV deal, sponsors.


Will Bischoff succeed and rebuild WCW to it’s former glory? Or will Eazy-E fail once again?


Find out here on “The Rebuilding of WCWâ€￾

The following is a list of wrestlers who are leaving WCW to look for work elsewhere

Bischoff was stunned. He couldn't believe that he had lost top names like Hogan, Sid, Hall, Luger, Goldberg, Savage, Bagwell, and Hart, along with the cruserweight division...Bischoff couldn't believe what was happening. He saw his dream going down right before his eyes.

The following is the official WCW Roster
Kidman
Chavo Guerrero Jr.
Jeff Jarrett
Kevin Nash
Lance Storm
Mark Jindrak
Midajah (OOC: I kept her to keep Steiner happy :dry
Ric Flair
Scott Steiner
Sean O' Haire
Shane Helms
Shannon Moore
Sting
Torrie Wilson (OOC: I kept her to keep Kidman happy)
Vince Russo

Bischoff knew that he had to hire top class talent that was able to draw big crowds and could keep them coming in, and Bischoff knew he had to have that happen as soon as possible or WCW would surely be dead.


All titles are vacated and I am using EWR for this...yeah...the old school EWR...I'm using the Monday Wars Scenario and hopefully WWF doesn't kick WCW's ass again

 

[Moonlight Drive]

EWR, that brings back some memories. So are you going to be posting Ratings & buy Rates WCW/WWe get and all the other stuff on EWR, or just make it up as you see fit?

 

[Travis40]

I'm gonna post the ratings and the buyrates of the PPV's....

I'll probably start doing shows soon.

Breaking News: WCW is in major talks with a WWF Mid Carder and a former Tag Team Champion. More to come when we get details!

 

[Qwake]

Looks pretty good Travis, I like a few guys on the roster and also, will you be writing your own shows or copying out the stuff on EWR of what happened with what matches and stuff? Well I will be reading and I am curious as to who WCW is in talks with

 

[THE Renegade Diesel]

Ok what's EWR? Also, this looks good.. Nice little starting roster.. I did something like this... I remember doing something like this.. Well not really but the same era.. Micheal posted it plagiarizing his own cousin. :bad: Anyway's is this your first BTB Travis?

 

[Evil Austin]

In other WCW News, there's been tons of reports on who this WWF Mid Carder could be. Some are saying that it could be Edge, Christian, the Dudley Boyz, Billy Gunn, X Pac, and possibly BOTH of the Hardyz. We'll keep you updated as we learn more!

[-TJ-]

Roster looks good. Glad to see how you play out with not that many proven main event talent.

 

[Headfirst For Hardcore]

it looks like a nice roster so far, with lots of not Main event talent.

 

[xtremebadass]

Styles vs. Helms for the World title FTW!

This looks pretty promising...should have kept Billie Bill Goldberg though lol.

 

[Diablo4life]

Eh, Goldberg going was for the best. Jarett and Steiner are the only 2 bonified main eventers left in WCW. I am interested to see how you play this out. Good luck!

 

[THE Renegade Diesel]

This looks good Travis.. The roster is cool.. I have a feeling Aj, or Sonjay will be pushed up our asses, and the WWF midcard guy will also be pushed up the ass of readers.. I haven't a clue on who this guy is..
