WCW Newsies - PPV's, Ratings, Management High on young talent?

Subject: WCW Newsies - First 5 NAMES DRAFTED Wed 12 May 2010, 1:30 pm

WCW is said to be holding back the Debut of the "Far Out Chicks", they fee the roster is a bit to packed to call them up officially. Though more promo's hyping their debut will continue to air on TV.

Francine is on thin ice, aside from working part time down in developement. No permantent role could be found for her on the main roster. Rumor has it she is on the edge of being released. Or they might just let her contract run out.

The last two Nitro's drew a 2.52 & 2.34 TV rating. The Fight Network is said to be pleased with the ratings.

No Escape will be headlined by Taylor Wilde vs. Beth Phoenix vs. Trinity vs. Roxxi, which may be the most anticipated PPV in a very long time.

creative team are currently tossing the idea of doing an angle with Tiana Ringer trying to join "Team Blondage", though Tiana's position in the company is safe, putting her in a strong angle has also been an issue lately.

WCW Expands it's Roster and asigns 6 more women to developement contracts. Word has it, WCW wants to freshin up it's roster and might be cutting costs as well.

The First two signees are SHIMMER Wrestlers Tenille and Jessie McKay. Both Australian wrestlers are said to be well likd backstage.

Two TNA starlets have also been signed. Chelsea and Santana G have also been signed to contracts. Both women are said to head down to developement for training.

The last two nominees are up and coming talent Jessika Haze and the young 21 year old Nikki Rhodes. The two are also said to be sent down to development for training.

until Layla is assinged..me no likey hahaha
but its good to see Australlian talents being hired, i mean all i have is Maddison Eagles..current SHI champ smile

Cost Cutting have started and two names have already been axed. Catalina White, known in the WWE as Saylor James, wife of Jack Swagger has been released. Managemnt didn't see her going anywhere and the final decision was to release her.

Another name is gone from WCW Developement teritory, her name i Bobbi Billard, she was rarely used and WCW had no plans for her. She is the second name to be released so far.

There are a number of women who might get cut. Amalia del Obre, who's former wrestling name was Amazona, is said to be on the bubble, although her luck is she is young and WCW wants to create talent and not reuse. At the age of 22, she seems to be more safe then her tag team partner.

Leidy Fernandez, partner of Amalia Del Obre, formerly known as Black Rose is said to be close to being released. With less then a year left on her contract, management doesn't see her going anywhere. Leidy was one of the first names asigned to their development system. Word has it, by the end of the month her time in the company may be over.

Lorelei Lee is another name on the bubble, they do think she has talent, but they don't know what to do with her, she may be gone before you know it but her ties with Sara del Rey and Amber O"Neal i keeping her in the company.

Another name who is still around because of Friends is Lollipop, Francine and Becky Bayless of her huge supporters backstage but management isn't impressed. Although one of her supporeters are also on the bubble.

Francine's time in WCW may be coming to an end sooner then later. She has 9 months left on her contract and rumor has it management has no plans to reniew it. She might either be released by that time or leave on her own, but things are not in her favor.

Goldy Locks is also on the edge, Trinity is pushing for them to reniew her contract which is said to be ending in 4 months Although Goldy Locks has been concentrating on her music career and is said to be releasing an album sometime next year. But management has no plans on reniewing her contract.

Simply Luscious is the last name on the bubble thus far but she might stick around longer. She has almost a year left on her contract and who know what could happen. They see the talent in her but are not sure what to do. Although she is another favorite of Sara Del Rey, so who knows what could happen within that time.

get rid of anasticia rose, and that damn jen england

More names being tossed around of possibly being released. Venus is also on the verge of being released. She has been part of the promotion since the beginning but the talent isn’t there. Management is high on her but feels she hasn’t made any real improvements since being assigned to the developement system. So she may be the latest name to be axed.

Another couple of names being tossed around is the tag team known as “Brittish Beauty’s” , word has it management isn’t impressed with the duo and feels they have been a let down. What is keeping these two around is that they are really young and there is still hope. Angel Gonzales is only 20 while Michelle Madison is a teen at the age of 19. So they may not be axed, but for now they will be kept down in developement for the mean time.

After being signed for two months, management is already questioning the status of Chrissy Rivera, although it should be noted, if Leidy Fernandez does get released, they intend on pairing Amalia Del Obre and Chrissy Rivera in a tag team. But for now, she is already on the bubble.

Another recently signed name is on the bubble. Formely known as Irresistable Danielle, now goes by Danielle Chanelle may be in danger of being released. Although she only signed with the company two months ago, management feels she may not be ring ready on time. The original plan was to align her with recently called up Kelly Couture and start a brand type tag team, it was also rumored of creating a faction called “Material Girls” and adding Mary Elizabeth Monroe to the mix with the name of “Penelopi Prada”. Although that idea may be nixed as well.

A roster clean up is said to be in effect and no names are safe.

EXLCISVE!!!!!!!!

The was a HUGE backstage atlercation between WCW Diva Francine and Head Writer Brian Gerwitz and Road Agent Terry Tayler. Francine has been unhappy with how her matches have been booked by road agent Terry Taylor, seemingly Francine made a comment on this to head Writer Brian Gerwitz. Seemingly Gerwitz put Francine in her place reminding her that she is enhancement talent. Francine was said to be furious and walked out of the Arena. Francine had to take part in a 8 Diva Tag Team match but Francine walked out of the Arena, leaving management to throw in Tammy Neal, who was supposed to be selling an injury made by Ashley Lane 2 weeks ago, which was the reason why Tammy Neal wasn't featured on Nitro Last week.

Rumor has it officials are really un happy with this and it is being discussed with WCW owner as we speak. No word yet on the status of Francine, but things are being discussed with Management.

FRANCINE HAS BEEN QUIT WCW!!!!

The unhappy Francine has quit WCW for good. Rumors were going around that management didn't have much to do for her and she was un happy with her position. Last week seemingly she walked out the arena after she was booked to take the pin. This forces creative team to put Tammy Neal on Television, whom was selling an injury. Francine made her return at "No Escape" in a dark match which she lost to the up and coming Kelly Couture. But she is officially done with the company and has quit. There is no future between WCW and Francine.

Aside from Francine's departure, Leidy Fernandez (formely known as Black Rose), Chrissy Rivera and Venus have all been released from their development deals. This comes to a shcok because many thought Chrissy would have replaced Black Rose as Amalia Del Obre's partner if she was ever released. Seems both women have been released and WCW wishes them the best.

Another pair of victims are said to be leaving the company. Current WCW Tag Team Champions Manami Toyota and Mima Shimoda are said to be leaving the company. Mima Shimoda (39) and Manami Toyota (37) are said to be heading back to japan. The two women are currently working out their contract situations with WCW managment as we speak. They are said to be leaving 2 months from now.

Another name Leaving is Goldy Locks, she has 3 months left on her contract and WCW have no intention on reniewing her contract. Goldy Locks is planning on persuing her musical career.

But on lighter news. when we see so much women leaving WCW needs to keep their roster stacked. So they signed 3 new women to contracts. Rumor has it Erica D'Erico, japanese Wrestler, Kyoko Kimora and Brittish Wrestler Skye to development contracts.

Lol um thanks i guess smile

No, honestly, I have no idea why that LL/BM/DS guy even tries...

LL's fed is entertaining, it's actually the only one I read (when I make time)

Guest

haha, I was just looking for a reaction. I read the past four shows of AFW, and I'd say that it is quite entertaining. I just like this fed better.

its a good thing you were just "Looking for a reaction", cos i was about to say how bloody rude...i mean just because my show doesnt have shit loads of indy ppls, and essays worth of reading, doesnt mean i shouldnt try...i dont have the time to do all that.

but on the bright side Kev, you got a new reader

WCW Vixen Cheerleader Melissa is said to be injured. Melissa worked Last Nights Houseshow where she tagged with Taylor Wilde to take on Natalya and Beth Phoenix. At one point in the match Beth was supposed to push Melissa of the ring apron. Melissa fell akwardly and injured her ankle. Word backstage is she is going to be out for about 2 months. This couldn't come at a worse time as Melissa was said to be pushed in the main event scene.

WCW Fans can expect a debut coming soon. Rumor has it a new vixen will be called up to the main roster. Rumors are also circulating that a Vixen may be making her return. Either way expect to see some fresh faces on the main roster.

With the possible departure of Tokyo Sweethearts, WCW management decided to call up "The Far Out Chicks", though managment is not to fond of the wrestling ability of Kimmy Kibble aka Temprest Kimberly, they feel that Kara Slice has a bright future and could continue to carry the team.

Rumor has it the Terminators could be disbanded in the near future. Management feels that though the faction is succesfull, their isn't much that can be done with them.

Also there is a possiblity of Sarah Stock vs. Jazz vs. Kelly Couture being booked in the near future. Management is high on Sarah Stock and feels that since her debut, Kelly Couture has been holding her own on the roster.

There is still ideas of Tiana RInger trying to join "Team Blondage" thrown around. There is also talks of having a vixen go blond to join the team. Although that idea is being favored more so then the idea of Tiana Ringer trying to join.

Cindy Roger's call up is starting to look like a bad idea. Management is finding it dificult of finding a permanent role for her.

WCW creative team is also thinking about starting a whole "Hardcore" rivalry between Roxxi and Trinity. The Former WCW champion is known for taking major spots while former tag Team Champion Roxxi is known for being hardcore herself.

Another Wrestler is in danger of being released. Shimmer wrestler Jetta is on the verge of being let go of her contract. Managment sees the wrestling potential in her but with Lacey & Rain as such a strong pairing, they don't see her playing any other role. Though they are looking for someone to fill in a new character they are developing. Word has it that Angel Gonzales, Michelle Madison and Sweet Saraya Knight have been turned down to play this role. Jetta may be playing this new Brittish character they are developing. But other say recently signed Brittish wrestler Sky has been signed to play that character.

The Last Edition of Nitro drew a 2.19 TV rating.

Guest

Melissa Injured? Oh No.

LL, I'd like to say sorry for the disrespect, I honestly like it, I just haven't read all that much of it.

The Decision to call up Portia Perez was completely Jazz’s. Rumors were circulating of Kelly couture getting a partner. The original plan was to call up Irresistible Danielle (Who now goes by Danielle Chanel) and also adding Elizabeth Monroe and rename her Penelopy Prada and create a faction. But Jazz has been pushing for a strong wrestler to be called up Also Jazz is said to be a huge supporter of both Portia Perez & Nicole Matthews who goes by the tag team of “Canadian Ninjas”, no word yet if Nicole Matthews will be called up anytime soon, but as of now Portia Perez will be a permanent role on the main roster.

WCW’s PPV “No Escape” drew 4048 Fans. WCW’s next PPV is going to be “New Years Glory”.

The last edition of WCW Nitro Drew a 2.32, which is up from the 2.19 the week prior.

The loss of Cheerleader Melissa may not have effected Natalya's career as she is set to get a huge push in the near future. Management has been happy with her work with Melissa but also her pairing with Vixkie Guererro.

Portia!!!!!!

oh no Melissa Teary Eyed

i forgot what this thread was pertianing to...i saw "Vixen" and came running...thinking it was about me....yeah i'm stupid WCW Newsies - PPV's, Ratings, Management High on young talent? - Page 3 478927

shit forgots about your thread...no wonders i aint getting attention
but its great to hear a girl is pushing for Portia, great talent

WCW Development Diva Chelsea has been ordered to go take Acting Lessons, WCW management is aware of her former work with Desmond Wolfe and hopes she could develop a British accent, or something close to it. Management is said to be high on her and would like to call her up to the main roster soon. Ideas are been thrown around and they have high expectations of her. If she isn’t successful Management will just keep her down in development and have her continue to train, they will probably fill in the gap with recently signed British wrestlers Skye.

Management is also high on Santana Garret, they hope her wrestling picks up and she could eventually become a huge star.

Management is not impressed with former TNA interviewer Leticia Cline, though they paired her with Crystal Louthan, management feels Crystal has been adapting to wrestling pretty well, but Leticia’s lack of Charisma is really hurting her development. Don’t be surprised if she is let go sometime down the line.

Many are still questioning what former WWE Diva Lauren Jones is doing down in development. Rumor has it, management has no concrete plans for her, but they like having her around. Why they still like her, still remains a mystery.

The pairing of the Prada Princess Portia Prada and the Fashion Queen Kelly Couture are getting rave reviews for their performance as a duo. Management is said to be very happy and didn’t expect Portia Perez to do so well in her new role. What the future of Nikki Mathews now still remains a mystery, many feel she doesn’t fit well with the Glamour Girls, but they do feel her and Portia Perez has amazing chemistry as a tag team.

There is rumors that Roni Jonah is frustrated with her current position in the company, many feel she is really to be called up to the main roster, but the person she regularly tag teams with isn’t ready. With the Canadian Ninja’s already being broken up, WCW management doesn’t want to break another tag team, so is keeping Roni Jonah down in development despite being ready to be called up to the main roster.

The last edition of WCW Nitro drew a 2.34 TV rating, management is said to be happy with this rating and looking to have a strong number next week as well.

So far only 3 matches have been announced for New Years Glory:
1. Team Blondage vs. Far Out Chicks
2. Tokyo Sweethearts vs. Serena & Daizee vs. Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew for the WCW Tag Team Championship
3. Taylor Wilde © vs. Natalya v. Beth Phoenix

Management hasn’t been too happy with indy wrestler Temptress Kimberly’s portrayal of Kimmy Kibbly, rumor has it the team may be pulled from TV and Temptress Kimberly’s career may be on the line.

but of course management (cough Kev) are high on Santana....she was formally assoicated with Kevs little playboy

yes lord knows why they like Lauren -_-

and your turning Crystal into a wrestler...WHATS UP WIT DAT

i dont care whos raving i think Portia being a pretty girl makeup aritst thing is a little lame

THREE WAY MAIN EVENTS FOR THE WIN

WCW's New Year Glory drew a total amount of 4615 fans. This is one of WCW's biggest crowd.

WCW recently signed it's first male wrestler, his name is Chad Airbourne, he is an unknown wrestler and is the first Male Signee to the comapny.

WCW's been pushing to get a second show, they hope this could help with calling up more people to the main roster. No word yet if its going to be two diffrent brands or just an extra show.

Kellie Skater. She is IMO one of the best Australian imports to come to SHIMMER. Look for her match against Mercedes Martinez from recently. Volume 30 to be exact.

I just like Jessie McKay and Tenille more.

Kellie is aight, you can see she's still new, but she does show a whole lot more promise then Jessie & Tenille, but just like them more. Plus i have a overflow of superstars atm AND i don't even think Kellie Skater is in the game, because this update was from early 2009, unless i created them, many names aren't in the game from the last year.

shes not i checked

WCW Newsies - PPV's, Ratings, Management High on young talent? - Page 3 4smre9

WCW Newsies - PPV's, Ratings, Management High on young talent? - Page 3 4smre9

Also many changes are expected to be made after Showdown, after the roster was Drafted, WCW management has decided to make brand only PPV’s. This means Nitro will have their share of PPV’s while Unleashed will have their own share of PPV’s. This is to not make the cards overbooked with big names, also to help lower card talent get exposure.

The following PPV’s have been listed as Nitro PPV’s.
New Years Glory(Jan)
Full Throttle (May)
Retaliation (Jul) – This PPV was moved from August to July
No Remorse (Oct)

While the Following PPV’s are listed under Unleashed PPV’s
Uprising (Mar)
Adrenaline Rush (Jun) – This PPV was moved from July to June
Battle Lines (Sep)
Lashing Out (Dec) – Was moved from November to December

The following PPV’s were placed as Join PPV’s where both brands will be part of the show:
Soul Survivors (Feb)
Showdown (April)
Final Destination (Aug) – was moved from June to August
No Escape (Nov) – Was moved from December to November

Mercedes Steele made her first WCW Appearance saving Jazz from Kelly Couture & Portia Prada, the idea was to have her be Jazz’s partner, but this idea has been nixed already, WCW management is high on the 22 year old Mercedes Steele and wants to build her up as a top baby face. Another angle that could have been quickly nixed was the angle between Sarah Stock and Alexa Thatcher, rumor has it management wasn’t too pleased with the two’s work at houseshows, though management see great potential in both, many feel they could be better off working with someone else, from the looks of it Canadian Wrestler, Candice LaRae may step in for Alexa Thatcher for the time being.

Two other wrestlers management are high on are Ashley Lane and Tammy Neal, many backstage feel the duo are really young and has a whole lot to offer. We could see either lady get pushed into bigger feuds. Other wrestlers on Unleashed are said to be getting a more bigger role, amongst those names are Tracy Taylor, Becky Bayless, MsChif & Elisabeth Banks.

There are also rumors of The Terminators recruiting a new member in the faction BUT also be dropping one as well. It seems management might want to give either Alicia Fox or Wesna Busic a singles push.

With no Manami Toyota around, expect Mima Shimoda to be used less, aside from her age, the fact that management doesn't have much for her to do, she might eventually get released sometime down the road, but with a very limited roster right now, she might continue to float around a bit on the roster.

The last edition of WCW Nitro drew a 2.49, this is a strong rating being 2 weeks away from Showdown. While Unleashed drew another 0.37.

wow...I love that poster smile

The Terminators looking for a new member? interesting...
