We hear Flyin Brian will be back next week after his injuries from Nikita Koloff @ WrestleWar. We also get a promo - coming tomorrow to WCW… the greatest Rock N Roll Band of ALL TIME… THE FABULOUS FREEBIRDS!!!!

Great writing - making the most out of everything you've got. If this pans out, I could definitely see some WCW rookies coming in if you were interested. I know you'll do them right.

Sounds good I’ll cover them then

Since I am still 2 over - I will drop Buddy Lee Parker and Lt. James Earl and have all my loan people on my roster and not take up any space anywhere else.

World Championship Wrestling - Jim Ross & Jesse Ventura A couple of big happenings this week although abbreviated. We hear that Flyin Brian had a shoulder injury from the match with Nikita - he hopes to be back sooner. Paul E Dangerously has signed a match for the Clash of the Champions on June the 13th, which will be the official return match for Ricky Steamboat as he takes on Masa Chono! Paul E says that Steamboat is in big trouble! We see a special interview with Lex Luger where he puts over Sting and he hopes for the best for Flyin Brian… he says that he will face the number one contender… Nikita Koloff at the Clash of the Champions. Nikita is out there face to face with him and both men are as serious as can be. The Rockers put over their big tag title win and are immediately challenged by the Samoans and Gary Hart. The Diamond Studd puts over his TV title win and he will have a rematch with the Z-Man at the Clash. We find out that at the Clash, we’ll see Power and Glory taking on Owen and Bulldog. The US tag titles will be on the line!

Interested in moving the following: Great Muta - beginning of 1991 Power and Glory (Roma/Hercules) - July 1st As soon as you'd like... Brother Love Wahoo McDaniel Junkyard Dog Road Warriors Nasty Boys Samoans Big Josh

Zeus has left WCW - have fun with him Tony Halme also leaves WCW - 1993 is a long way away. Abdullah the Butcher Davey Boy Smith Harley Race Kevin Sullivan Big Josh Sting Scott Hall The Great Muta The Z-Man El Gigante Ivan Koloff Crush Marc Mero Flyin Brian Junkyard Dog One Man Gang Buff Bagwell Savio Vega Scott Norton Owen Hart Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker Lt.

They don't count against me right? The Undertaker > Currently with AWA Michael Hayes > Coming June 1st Jimmy Garvin > Coming June 1st Big Van Vader - Loaned to WWF till Jan 1st Ravishing Rick Rude - coming in Sept 1st Dustin Rhodes > Currently in WWF Till Feb 1st Big Bossman - Currently in Memphis until January 1st then goes to AWA

I believe that Billy Gunn was dropped by @rainmakerrtv so I will add him if possible.

Tito Santana vs The Berzerker - Tito Jake Roberts vs Tugboat - Jake I am tracking well so far! Great job with the venues.

Hogan vs Hansen in a cage delivered. I can just picture the Eye of the Tiger and Hogan going through the fans to get to the cage! Flair, Arn and Larry attacking Hogan ala Dusty in 86. The writing is on the wall but damn it makes sense and it is fun to read. Rock and Roll with Hogan could be a fun trio as well!

You have just hit the WWF in stride. So many levels. Dusty and Dustin - as a crew- makes me happy. Tom Prichard getting a big win and shot at the IC title. The Texas Outlaws (Terry Funk & Dick Murdoch) defeat Dusty & Dustin Rhodes when Dustin gets a little too carried away and eats a shot from Funk's branding iron. - This is a great write up in a few words that greatly explains Terry Funk and Dusty Rhodes mix with one another. Give me more of a Haku push - he could definitely rise all the way up. Tito Santana vs The Berzerker - Tito Jake Roberts vs Tugboat - Jake Billy Jack Haynes vs Nikolai Volkoff - Billy Jack Bad News Brown vs Curtis Hushes - Bad News Vader vs Jimmy Valiant - Vader Jim Duggan vs Back Bart - Hacksaw Kevin Von Erich vs Kokina - Kokina Andre the Giant vs Nailz - Andre Jake over Tito Bad News over Billy Jack Vader over Hacksaw Andre over Kokina Jake over Bad News Vader over Andre Vader over Jake for the Win!

Steiners and Doom is what brought me to the show... Bossman showing up is a major moment and without question he will serve some hard time. "And Tommy Rich will be in attendance." This is such a great little tease... what could Wildfire have in store?

I am invested in Big Bully and how he will fare in our world. He had some potential IRL. Windham was always someone to transcend lines and him being able to put on a good match with Tenryu is of no surprise. Lastly, Rick Martel fits the mold here and I expect big things from him.

I really appreciate the specialty that your shows have. You have a great writing style and the detail really tells the story. I continue to stick with the guys I know but appreciate the input you have and the stuff you put out there.

Just know this exists. Over two years ago I made that robocop figure in order to do this… sorry I haven’t been able to keep up with pictures in quite some time.

May 17th Only caught the cliff notes version of World Championship Wrestling this week. Tatanka & Wahoo McDaniel vs Ivan & Nikita Koloff was an okay match… Nikita was a monster… Ivan and Wahoo had some fun nostalgia work… but Wahoo ate a nasty Russian Sickle! Diamond Studd had a nice win and put over his big TV title shot this week… he says the Z-Man is is going DOWN! Ricky Steamboat with a promo about how he plans to be at Capital Combat and looks forward to all the action. He is going to keep a close eye on Paul E! Paul E and Muta cut a promo on Lex Luger… the titles will be unified this week but in reality it will be Muta who will be the Undisputed World Champion! Lex Luger cuts a promo on Muta and says he has great respect for his ability in the ring but says his weakest point is Paul E and Luger doesn’t care if he’s there or not… Luger will walk away with the World Title and be the champion! Eight Man Tag - The Rockers & The Road Warriors vs Abdullah, One Man Gang, & The Samoans w/ Gary Hart was a good one… good to see the babyfaces on the same side of things… especially knowing they will be in the ring against one another in just a matter of days. The finish sees the chaos ensue with all the men… but then a double superkick on Samu is all she wrote… WCW finishes with a promo from Sting… he puts over the big PPV… he says he’ll be there for Flyin Brian… he wants him to become the US Champion and he’ll be there for Luger… he wants him to walk away with the World Title… but then we see Zeus coming out… he’s got Gary Hart with him now… wait… here comes the Samoans… One Man Gang… Abdullah… Sting is being surrounded… will Robocop be able to help Sting this week at Captial Combat? Capital Combat – Washington DC – Armory – Monday - May 19, 1990 Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura welcome everyone to the DC Armory here for WCW’s Capital Combat! All the hype is put on Luger vs Muta for the unified world title tonight… plus Sting is here and he’s got some help in Robocop! We’ll also see the Tag Titles on the line with the Road Warriors and the Rockers… plus a big one with the tv title on the line between the Diamond Studd and The Z-Man! How could we forget… the 7’7” El Gigante will be here tonight and he is going to have a word or two to say to Tully Blanchard on behalf of JJ Dillon! Let’s take it to the ring for our opening contest! We get things kicked off with a hot tag team match… here comes Masa Chono and Kensuke Sasuke and they’ve got the big guy, Scott Norton in their corner. They’re opponents… Davey Boy Smith and Owen Hart come out to a great ovation from the crowd. These two teams show up tonight and put on one helluva 12-minute opener. Owen and Davey are coming into their own as a tag team and it is said that the winner of this one could be in line for a contest with Power and Glory soon for the US tag Team Titles. Scott “Flash” Norton is getting involved in every turn and before long one has to wonder what Owen and Davey can do to combat him… well that is until Owen nails him with a spinning heel kick and sends him flying off the apron. Sasuke and Chono look like theyre going to finish off Davey but Owen off the top rope and all hell is breaking loose. Here comes Norton again but this time he is thwarted when Ricky the Dragon Steamboat shows up out of nowhere and nails a couple of huge chops. This time Owen comes off the top rope with a standing moonsault on Kensuke and gets the 3-count! Steamboat shakes hands with the boys and it looks like lines are being drawn in the sand here in WCW and Steamboat has picked his side! We get a good promo from Paul E Dangerously, who’s in the back with Tony Schaivone… he says that Muta has prepared for this moment his entire life and tonight in front of the world he’s going to show why he is the one true world champion in wrestling! He then turns his attention to Ricky Steamboat who stuck his nose where it didn’t belong and he’s going to pay for messing with Muta’s friends and Paul E’s associates. Watch your back Rick Steamboat… watch it! Our next contest is scheduled for one fall with a 15-minute time limit. We see the new and improved Mike Rotundo come out with Gamesmaster Kevin Sullivan. He takes on Johnny Ace - who stuck his nose in his business the other night - and it is a pretty blah match. Rotundo has got some good shtick as the Syracuse, Varsity Club guy… but Ace is the shits and it shows. Rotundo hits a nasty Olympic style slam on Ace… dropping him on his head… getting the 3-count! The next contest is a television championship match and is scheduled for one fall - 15-minute time limit. Jesse Ventura is putting Scott Hall through the roof here and saying it is the Diamond Studd’s time and tonight is the night! The Z-Man comes out with a great ovation from the fans… we get a pretty good contest with these two… they could be cut from the same cloth in some regards but the Diamond Studd really does shine in the ring. The finish is pretty hot when Zenk goes for a flying cross body but Studd CATCHES HIM! Studd with a backbreaker but holds him and pulls him back up… FALL AWAY SLAM! Studd says the time is over now… he picks up Zenk and DIAMOND DEATH DROP! 1…..2…3… clean right in the middle of the ring and we’ve got a NEW WCW Television Champion! For the next 4-minutes, all we hear is Jesse Ventura put over the new television champion - to the point where he goes to the back and joins in the celebration. Tony Schiavone comes out to call the next match… The next match is scheduled for one fall and it will be under STREET FIGHT RULES! We see the Skyscrapers come out with Sherri sans Zeus. Here comes the Nasty Boys and by golly we’re in for a fight. This one isn’t pretty - it doesn’t last long… and well… I don’t know it just isn’t good. Knobbs and Sags are getting into their own a little…. Spivey looks top notch… Nash is trying to play his role… Sherri looks good though. Lots of punches and forearms… a good spot with Knobbs bumping out onto the floor due to a huge boot from Spivey off the apron. Nash attempts to pull a powerbomb on Sags but his knee looks to give out and it doesn’t look good. Spivey ends up with a powerbomb on Knobbs… pins him… Spivey and Sherri seem to have words and they leave Nash laying in the ring… are the Skyscrapers tumbling? For whatever that last match was… well this doesn’t make it too much butter… here comes Tully Blanchard… sans wrestling gear… and JJ Dillon brings out the big man, El Gigante! The crowd is going wild for the big man and Tully doesn’t seem happy… he says he isn’t wrestling him… he is leaving but Gigante grabs him and throws him back into the ring! Here comes the One Man Gang and Gary Hart! Hart lets him loose and Gang gets in to attack Gigante… he hammers on his back and breaks him down… but El Gigante fights back… he throws some big right hands… ugly… but big right hands! Gigante “clotheslines” Gang out of the ring. Tully then with a couple of shots… but Gigante turns around and grabs him for a claw and puts him down! The crowd… well they don’t love it… but Gigante has got a little steam which is good. The first of our big three title matches… the tag titles are on the line in a 60-minute time limit contest and what a build. These two teams have been at one another for months. Tonight they go into the ring to settle the score. This one goes about 23-minutes and we get all the action. The Rockers with some slick speed and tag team maneuvers… the Road Warriors with double teaming and power personified. Ross and Jesse are on their game here tonight and they put this through the roof. In the final moments… we see the Road Warriors look to finish… Animal hoists up Shawn… Hawk goes to the top rope… Jannetty runs and dropkicks Hawk off the top rope to the floor! Animal can’t believe it… but then here comes Jannetty with a superkick on Animal and Shawn rolls through with a ugly but effective 1…2….3!!! THE ROCKERS HAVE WON THE WCW TAG TITLES! They have climbed to the top of the mountain! The fans explode as Marty and Shawn hold up the titles and they are once again the top tag team in the world. Hawk and Animal look on and don’t look happy but they nod their heads… show the respect… what a moment for the Rockers. Our next contest - 30-minutes for the United States Championship and here comes Flyin Brian and he’s got his buddy, Sting with him for backup and support. Nikita comes out with Ivan and they work the crowd. This one goes about 18-minutes and Pillman keeps us on the brink the entire time. He flies around the ring. Nikita shows off the serious power and hits a couple of moves that look like they kill Pillman. Sting then starts to kick it in gear outside the ring and the crowd is behind him. Wait a moment… Ivan Koloff is shown signaling to the back… here comes Gary Hart with the Samoans… they bring out a cage? It’s a shark cage and inside is Zeus… they open up the door and Zeus goes towards Sting… they hammer him down from behind… they lock Sting in the cage… inside… Ivan Koloff helps Nikita and it is almost a 2 on 1 against Pillman… then we hear a siren and the lights flicker… OMG! IT’S ROBOCOP! Robocop is here! Gary Hart… now in control of Zeus? And the Samoans are backing up and Robocop rips the back side off the cage and Sting is free. Zeus comes up to Robocop and swings but Robocop blocks it and then punches him in the chest and he goes backwards! Sting welcomes them on but Zeus is being held back! They walk him into the shadows and this isn’t pretty! Robocop “chases” them to the back. Sting is back over and cheering on Flyin Brian who is mounting the comeback of all comebacks… he nails some big shots and then looks to finish with something big… he is on the apron… he hoists himself up on the top rope and leaps but Nikita leaps at him with a Russian Sickle that just looks DISGUSTING! Pillman is down and OUT! 1….2…..3! Nikita retains the title… Pillman is a heap in the ring… Sting stands there… looking like Rocky over Apollo… Drago, I mean Nikita stands tall and tells Sting he’s next! This all leads us to our main event… Mike McGuirk makes the announcements of the two champions… this is a no-time limit contest - no disqualifications - no count outs - there MUST BE A WINNER! This is news to everyone as Ross and Ventura are shocked but put it over in a huge way! We then see the entrances of the two men… Muta in white… looking as mysterious and spectacular as he can. Paul E is dressed to the dimes tonight and he works the fans into a frenzy. Luger comes out in lime green tights and he looks like he was chiseled out of stone. WCW World Championship & International Championship Unification bout… LEx Luger versus The Great Muta w/ Paul E Dangerously. Luger brought his working boots tonight… 35-minutes these two put it all together. The paint is wiped away from Muta’s face when all is said and done. He goes to work on the neck and shoulders of Luger and tries tow ear him down. Luger works the back and both men leave it all in the ring. We get a couple of spectacular spots from Muta, one being a suicide dive through the ropes to the floor that sends Lex flying into the guardrail and busts him wide open! The referee continues to check Luger and this is a nasty cut. Paul E continues to try and get involved but then the crowd explodes when STING and RICKY STEAMBOAT come out… once again… Steamboat grabs Paul E from behind and carts him off to the back. That spells the beginning of the end…or does it… Muta gets control and nails some seriously nasty kicks. Muta then runs for a shining wizard but Luger catches him and they go over the top rope to the floor but Muta’s back nails the apron! Sting is cheering on Luger and getting the crowd going for him! Muta is nursing the back… Luger picks him up for a bodyslam and he nails him against the ringpost! Muta’s back is a wreck right now and Luger is looking to finish… Luger tosses Muta back in the ring and Lex is going for broke with some heavy shots… but out of nowhere… Muta with a nasty kick right to Luger’s jaw and he goes down like a box of rocks! Muta may have just knocked Luger out with that shot! The referee is watching as both men get up to their feet… Muta runs and hits another shining wizard and Luger goes back into the turnbuckle and crumbles down… Muta is now looking to finish… he goes to the ropes… he is setting up for the moonsault… he goes up but Luger is getting to his feet… Muta leaps but LUGER CATCHES HIM! Luger hoists Muta up… and he’s got him in the TORTURE RACK! Muta’s back is a wreck! The crowd is going nuts… the referee watches and then Muta shakes his head! LUGER HAS WON IT! LUGER HAS WON IT! Ross and Ventura put over Luger… regaining or retaining the WCW World Title… Ross gets word that it will go down as retaining but now he’s the UNDISPUTED WCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! Sting is down there in the ring… he hands Luger the belt and the crowd is going wild! Ross and Ventura sign us off on this historic PPV… we’ll see you next week!

That really sucks - feels personal since I am the one with the pick - then according to the same sources who say he debuted in 1989, cagematch and wrestlingdata, he should be on the 1992 list. With that - 1st pick in the draft is on the trade block.

For what it is worth, In my case - as the person who has the number one pick... this would be the 2nd time in which Rey Jr was possibly up for grabs that he was taken out and thus I would presumably lose out on the opportunity to grab him and have rights to him. (I had the number 2 pick in 1989 in which Steve Austin was going number 1 without question - I then moved that pick in due part to his removal. I think I've proven my ability to keep with realism - outside of El Gigante/Giant Gonzalez wrestling Andre the Giant @ SummerSlam 1989 - But if I were to have the rights to him - I can promise he wouldn't be in the main event right away, and I have shown the ability to play the long game. I know I've made moves to get in this position and it would suck to have him taken away again. Additionally, we're a fantasy wrestling game - PWI is the roadmap for all the greatness that is to fantasy wrestling - with Rey being most improved in 1991 - he was on the map, clearly, and that should be its own merit. I’d be open to discussing the nuances of our approach to realism if this is the boundary we’re setting, if my case for his development isn't seen as realistic.

Can we get a ruling on Rey Jr?

World Championship Wrestling - We see footage of JJ Dillon arriving to the arena today and he gets out of his towncar and he has got… none other than RICKY THE DRAGON STEAMBOAT WITH HIM! Steamboat goes over and shakes the hands of the crowd. The fans are going wild for this huge development! Jim Ross & Jesse Ventura bring us in and put over a huge night of action. They can’t believe that Ricky Steamboat is here and wonder just what his plan is…. JR thinks he’s teaming up with JJ Dillon but Jesse says that he knows JJ too well and doesn’t think he will saddle with him. We’ll see how that shakes off. Adam Bomb comes out and almost kills Lt. James Earl. The Samoans are out here with Gary Hart and they hit a double superkick on some poor turd and he looks to have broken his jaw. We get a good promo from the Rockers who put over their big challenge for the World Tag Team Titles at the Capital Combat. The Road Warriors come out and we get a face off… but then we find out that next week they are going to team up in an eight-man tag against The Samoans, One Man Gang, & Abdullah! Nikita Koloff w/ Ivan gets a handicap match win. He holds up the US title and says he’s coming for Luger! Tatanka w/ Wahoo gets a nice win… he continues to say he wants tocome back and challenge Nikita! We hear we’ll get a tag team match with the four of them next week! Lex Luger comes out to a great ovation - he puts over the world title situation and says that even though Muta got his hand raised… he didn’t beat him. Luger says he has got one goal on his mind and that is to end Muta once and for all. He offers him to put up the International Championship as well and we unify both titles! Paul E comes out… with Chono and Sasuke… they threaten Luger but Lex says he isn’t scared of them… here comes Davey Boy and Owen… oh my… Paul E has to back up… Owen & Davey Boy with a good win after that issue… lines are being drawn in the sand here in WCW! Savio Vega gets a win with his buddies outside the ring. JJ Dillon comes out and he welcomes out his special guest… former WCW Champion, Ricky the Dragon Steamboat! Steamboat comes out and he works the fans but it doesn’t last long because out comes Tully Blanchard! Tully gets right in Steamboat’s face… Tully: So you’re the big surprise huh? Well I am not surprised… to be honest Steamboat I am wondering how you can even show your face around here!? I mean… you are one of the most disgraced wrestlers in the history of WCW and you come out here to some fanfare like you’ve done something… you couldn’t event lace my boots! To be 100% honest with you… this makes me a little happy because I know you’re not here to wrestle me because your career would be over in a heartbeat if you were… Steamboat: Well Tully… I don’t agree with very much of anything that comes out of your mouth… but you are right… I am not here to wrestle you… I am here to watch some of the great WCW action with guys like Lex Luger… Sting… Flyin Brian… the Z-Man… and others… in fact… I am the one who called JJ to see if I could come to the show… he said I will be a special guest at Capital Combat… Tully: Well who in the hell do you got to come out here then… JJ Dillon: Turn around and look… up! Tully turns around and OMG… HE’S 7 FEET 7 INCHES TALL! From Argentina… EL GIGANTE! We have heard about rumors of this man… Tully sells it like crazy as he bumps into Steamboat who turns him around and chops him a couple of times before throwing him into Gigante who throws one of the worst punches of all time and barely hits Tully but he sells it! The crowd is going wild for El Gigante and Steamboat who shake hands and work the fans! We get Jesse and JR putting this over in the biggest way… El Gigante… 7’7”! Tully is going to have his hands full. They announce that next week we’ll see Tatanka and Wahoo taking on the Koloffs… the Road Warriors & Rockers take on Gary Hart’s Army… plus the final touches on the Capital Combat card… let’s take a look…. Luger vs Muta for the now UNIFIED World Title… Nikita defends the US title against Flyin Brian with Sting in his corner and Robocop will be here… the Tag Titles on the line when the Road Warriors defend against the Rockers… the Nasty Boys take on the Skyscrapers… Davey Boy and Owen take on Chono & Sasuke… plus the Diamond Studd Scott Hall gets his shot at the TV Title… but is it going to be the Z-Man or Mike Rotundo… let’s find out! TV Title - Zenk vs Rotundo w/ Sullivan ends up being a very mechanical contest… two men are good workers and get the crowd going. Zenk looks like he’s coming into his own but Rotundo and Sullivan have got their Varsity Club vibes running here. These two go around 12-minutes and give it everything they’ve got out there. The finish sees Rotundo try to finish… a couple of big shots and then he goes for a big fireman’s carry but Zenk with the roll through and the crucifix for the 3-count out of nowhere! Zenk retains the title and rolls out of the ring before Sullivan caan come in and try to get him… Johnny Ace is out there as “backup.” Zenk is still the champion but now it sounds like he’s got a Diamond Studd problem to deal with in the near future!

The Hulk Hogan formula of beat down until you don’t think he can make it anymore and then he makes the big challenge is alive and well and I am 100% for it with Stan Hansen. No doubt in my mind that at this era these two would have sold out any arena they went to Thanks to both of them not just the orange goblin. I am so happy that Haugen has found a home in the AWA but more importantly that you’ve been able to use them the right way and build the rest of the company around him and now with our good friend Ric Flair waiting in the wings there’s no telling what could happen and how the AWA could completely change in an instant.

May 3rd WCW Power Hour - Tony Schiavone is going solo again this week - he says that Paul E will be on World Championship Wrestling tonight with the “disputed” WCW Champion, the Great Muta. We’ll also see the debut of Adam Bomb tonight on WCW… on Power Hour though, we will hear from Sting… and his personal safety officer… Robocop! Tatanka with a nice win… getting some momentum back. Roma and Hercules get a big win… sans Brother Love but they do still have the US tag titles. Owen Hart returns with a big win. WCW Top 10 is currently in shambles… JJ Dillon announces that there will be an announcement on the World Title tonight! We then get a fun little video package of some of the heels calling out Sting and the $40,000 bounty… We see Gary Hart with the Samoans…. Abdullah and Gang! Sherri has got the Skyscrapers and Zeus. Nikita and Ivan say they are the ones who hurt Sting in the first place and now their going to finish the job! We then see a special video of a briefcase… and it opens… but it has a sign… the bounty has been raised to $50,000! Flyin Brian with a good win. The Nasty Boys look good and even cut a promo on the Skyscrapers… these two teams are headed for a Clash at the Capital Combat! TV Title on the line in the Main Event when the Z-Man defeats Savio Vega! The final segment shows Sting slamming the briefcase shut… he puts over the bounty but says no amount of money is going to keep him down… then we hear the footsteps… Sting looks over and smiles… as the screen fades we see Sting shaking hands with Robocop! World Championship Wrestling - Jim Ross & Jesse Ventura bring us in for a huge night… we’ve got a lot of the table… let’s go to the ring… Davey Boy Smith with a big win over Castillo! JJ Dillon comes out to announce the World Title situation, but Tully Blanchard comes out, and he gives JJ the business! Tully is poking him in the chest… but then JJ fires back… he says that he’s tired of Blanchard… he is bringing his guest in next week and he’s going to deal with Blanchard once and for all! Michael Rotundo with a nice win… he and Sullivan put over the TVT title and say they want to challenge Zenk next week! We get a special video package and then out comes… ADAM BOMB! This guy is jacked to the gills… he’s got a good look… he looks to almost rip the head off of his opponent… now a SPINNINGPOWERBOMB! He calls that the A-BOMB! His opponent lands on his back in a bad way… that wasn’t good… Adam Bomb is here. The Samoans get a nice little with… Gary Hart… back from Japan… he says they are due for some gold and the Road Warriors are hiding! Nikita Koloff comes out with Ivan and they put over the US title and how he’s the rightful number one contender… this brings out Brian Pillman who says that he can’t wait to challenge Nikita at Capital Combat… Ivan tries to grab Pillman but Flyin Brian sneaks loose and he nails Ivan and then headbutts Nikita and draws some blood! Nikita is wiping the blood from his face! The fans are going wild! We get the Rockers in a tag team match… but then the Samoans run out… and here comes Abdullah and Gang! It is a 4 on 2 beatdown but here come the Road Warriors to even the odds. We find out that the Rockers and Road Warriors will face at Capital Combat… but they may not make it with Gary Hart’s men on the hunt! Crush gets a good win… he looks great as a big man babyface. We get another shot at the World Title issue… here comes JJ Dillon but he is interrupted by Paul E who walks out with Muta, but he’s not alone… here’s Scott Norton, Chono, and Kensuke Sasaki. They flank Muta who is holding the International Championship. We see footage of the end of the Luger/Muta match from Japan. Paul E is making the biggest stink about Muta being the champion but Dillon won’t say boo… we then hear that at Capital Combat the title will be up for grabs with Muta taking on Lex Luger. The title is currently held up… the winner will be the undisputed WCW World Champion! Paul E spits on the ground by Dillon and Muta does the slit throat gimmick… we’ll see these guys later. The Diamond Studd with a big win… he is on the hunt for the TV Title! The Skyscrapers and Sherri w/ Zeus get a big win… Nash… well he’s not in the ring too much but he looks good… Spivey seems to get upset… not sure if this one is working out! MAIN EVENT time… Owen Hart & The Z-Man take on Chono & Muta in tag team action… soon we see Norton and Sasuke come out with Paul E and this one is about to break out… but here comes Davey Boy to even up the odds a little… the finish sees Owen eat the MYST from Muta before going out of the ring and Norton powerslaming him on the concrete leading to the 10-count but here comes Bulldog and Scott Norton going toe to toe and these boys are letting em fly! Zenk is now out there with Chono and Sasuke… Muta is looking on but here comes Lex Luger out of the back and the crowd explodes! The Total Package comes in the ring and nails Muta with a couple of big clotheslines and then he presses him up and tosses him over the top rope onto Chono, Sasuke, and Norton! The crowd is going nuts! Davey, Owen, and Zenk get back in the ring… the babyfaces reign supreme here tonight on this huge show…

I suppose now would be a good time to announce that WCW has traded the 3rd pick to pcw as part of a trade also, AWA has traded its 1st overall pick to WCW as part of a previous deal

I think this gives enough evidence he wrestled enough in 1991 to be on the list

After looking back at the 1989 rookie list, Isn’t this 1991 draft the one where Rey Mysterio Junior gets added back in?
