super amare's WCW 1992 Diary

[superamare]

Yeah, I'm doing a diary in EWR with World Championship Wrestling, circa 1992.

Champions:

Light Heavyweight: Jushin Liger
Tag Team: MVC
TV: Steve Austin
US: Rick Rude
WCW World: Lex Luger

WCW started 1992 in a confused state. Flair had left, Sid left, Luger is the WCW champ, and the current President is a weird guy named Kip Allen Frye. He is very unorthodox in his ways, but he is very effective. For every great match a worker has, he offers them a cash bonus of $5000. No one knew where WCW was going from here.

Not a good start if you are too lazy to even post your roster. Plus, there is no backstory.

WCW 1992 is very original, great idea. Can't wait to start reading them.

On AIM, he said he's going to update his post tomorrow.

[Kemp2k]

OooO, I was thinking about doin WCW 92' before I did the WWE one..

Can't wait to see it in action, especially Pillman, Austin, Steiners/Brody/Williams, and etc...

[patriot]

Kemp, from the context it was used, obviously meant Gordy.

But yeah, I almost tried to work on the perfect scenario for that time, then I realized there were too many smaller type feds that it would be impossible.

Oops...

I got an WCW Magazine from 92', that's why I kinda got it mix-up... Ah, not really, I thought it was Brody... Ah, Gordy. :-P

Jesus, I didn't expect any replies. I didn't know people would start replying this quick.

I'm going to start in a minute. Keep in mind this is my first fed.
