First off, I’d just like to thank Eric Bischoff and the WCW booking staff for degrading another former main event style pay per view title. The Great American Bash as been around for a decade and then some, and has held some of the greatest matches in NWA, and even WCW history. But last night, WCW proved yet again, with the time and effort, they can degrade anything, as they did last night. I must say WCW was brilliant for bringing in Sid without ANYONE on the internet reporting it. A lot of names were thrown such as Shane Douglas, Master P, and even Sable was speculated to show up by some. Obviously she didn’t since she is still under WWF contract. Now, Master P, WCW could of had him come in, in a more surprising entrance. It was as if the WCW gave up on his entrance since it had been reported all over the internet that he’d be showing up. But even with it being reported, they could have brought him in, in a more interesting way, instead of having him have a small confrontation with Curt Hennig over a broken CD? 

Ah well, that’s WCW’s AMAZING booking for you. Also, if the rumor of Hogan wanting Savage to win the title only to drop it to him at the next pay per view were true, where does Bischoff stand? Obviously he sided with Nash’s booking in this one, or are we going to just see Nash lose to Hogan at the next pay per view? I hope not. Now, with video games becoming more common then ever, WWF and Acclaim are ready to release the newest, WWF video game. WWF Attitude. But, later in the year, most likely in the fall, WCW and EA SPORTS will be releasing the first game of their contract together, as WCW Mayhem will debut. I myself will be purchasing both games, since both look to be superb games with all around great in ring performance as well as a great atmosphere that sets the match and arena’s in real life perfectly. Although WCW’s game looks to be more entertaining with the ability to have a backstage brawl in the washrooms, in the backstage area etc., they still have to prove themselves, since coming off the crap games put out by THQ for playstation that were very disappointing. 

Taking a look at the ratings this week, you would have seen WCW blown out of the water as WWF RAW strolled to another week in their favor with something like 6.75 to 3.26? It’s amazing how WCW will pull of a decent display of surprises and story lines at a pay per view, but then just collapse at a show.  Did they really thing have Sable at their show as a guest was going to bring in ratings? Obviously she is negotiating with WCW already since she was able to get a front row ticket on short notice? No way, WCW planted her there. 

On RAW it was great to see Ivory get the title. Now finally we can see some legit wrestling from an actual women’s wrestler and not just T&A in the ring trying to pump up the crowd. It was good while it lasted but it’s time the WWF put some wrestling back in the division. It will be interesting to see if the WWF will just try to make a division out of the women they have, or will they actually put in an effort and bring in roughly four or five new ladies to boost up the division. 

Now onto the poll, there were too many e-mails to choose to post from regarding last week’s poll about who you would choose as the new WWF champion. But I will tell you, Chyna beat out every other woman with a leading 15 votes.  Following closely behind was Tori with 7 votes, so as you can see Chyna dominated. All the other woman had lower then 5 votes each.  

This week’s poll is: If you had the chance to run WCW for a day. Name three wrestlers you would fire.  The past few polls I haven’t given my choice but next week I will. Send your replies to [email protected] THANKS!
