Backstory: World Championship Wrestling was one of the greatest promotions in the world! Then they started to fall. WWE was somehow getting all the viewers after 96 weeks of being behind WCW. WCW knew something had to be done. The early part of 2000 was good for WCW, then after September of 2000, everything fell apart. After Halloween Havoc gave the lowest ratings for a sports entertainment Pay Per View ever, President, Eric Biscoff knew something needed to be done. So he called a meeting with some of the board of directors. In that meeting, a lot of idea was thrown out, but with every one, there was something that Eric didnt like. Finally, Eric threw out an idea.
There are 4 board members in WCW.
Eric: What if we did this one thing. We had a tournament for the World Championship Wrestling Heavyweight title? And every match would have a special gimmick match. Every single match would have some kind of extreme stunts in it!
Board worker #1: But we tried that back in 97.
Eric: So what if they tried it back then? This is now. 2001. No better way to start off the year, than a tournament for the WCW Championship?
BW #2: But Eric, what do you not get about we tried that?
Eric: Didnt you just hear me? I said that was years ago. This is 2001. And we are going to try it, or all of you are fired!
**Vince Russo walks in and taps Eric on the shoulder**
Vince: I will take it from here.
Eric: Ok, Vince. Do what you need to do.
Vince: Ok, first off sorry I was late. I have been busy coming up with ideas for WCW and I have the perfect one. The deal is sealed, and it is done.
All Board Workers: What is it?
Vince: World Championship Wrestling has been .
OOC: your have to wait till later to find out what is in store for WCW!
