Guest Lil Naitch Report post Posted July 18, 2003 From 411mania: WCW Booked For New Years In Georgia Posted By Widro on 07.18.03 Interesting link could lead to new speculation... Thanks to 411 reader Paul W. for sending this in: Ticketmaster has listed WCW World Championship Wrestling for january 1, 2004 in the Columbus Civic Center in Columbus, GA. No idea what it could be, but it certainly could be an interesting look at possible future WWE booking. -Discuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest caboose Report post Posted July 18, 2003 This happened once before where there was a WCW show booked for last july, but that was just a mistake. I'mo not sure what to make of this, it could be cool but what happened last time has more than killed the WCW name... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Eagan469 Report post Posted July 18, 2003 January 1, 2004 is a Thursday. My theory: Bischoff goes to Smackdown sometime in the next 3-4 months. Vince says the brand-extension runs out on December 31, 2003, and Bischoff says that on January 1st there will be "change". Change = live edition of Nitro on January 1st, and the rebirth of World Championship Wrestling in Georgia. That way the brand extension gets freshened up a bit with WWE vs. WCW. Vince is the head of RAW/WWE, and Bischoff is the head of Nitro/WCW. ...or maybe it was just a typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GameCop Report post Posted July 18, 2003 Hmmm... it's on New Year's day, the event is in Georgia, and it's on Thursday. January 1st = Beginning of a New Era (WCW or WECW) Georgia = WCW country Thursday = What was previously Smackdown will be replaced by either Nitro or Thunder The pieces fall too convieniently into place for this to be JUST a mistake.

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted July 18, 2003 Its kind of funny because, Smackdown is chock full of old WCW stars, yet Bischoff is on RAW. Maybe instead of HHH going to Smackdown, Stephanie goes to RAW and trades places with Bischoff??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EternallyLazy Report post Posted July 18, 2003 WCW vs WWE would be a hell of a lot better than Smackdown vs Raw. I dont think so. Same creative team... it would be like Raw vs. Smackdown except change the names and only the names to WCW vs. WWE. It would suck just as much as things now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Steviekick Report post Posted July 18, 2003 The only way that I would be happy by this is if they gave the "WCW" brand a completely different writing staff so It would be different. I miss WCW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted July 18, 2003 WTF? WCW is supposedly being revived??? ...whatever... I'll believe it when I see it. And the only way this could be true is... Aw fuck, it all make sense now. You have Linda coming this Monday right? She's supposed to fire Austin right? Well, all I gotta say is, if she IS firing someone, and that person is Bischoff... Well... Even I gotta admit that things add up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BobBacklundRules Report post Posted July 19, 2003 Will Metallica be preforming that night? No I thought that the brand split was just a transition from the failed invasion angle to a new "split" anyways. Vince has been wanting to do this for a while now, and if this is true he might have found his time to do it. I think it will suck. EVERYONE knows that no matter who wins the "federation wars", all the money goes back to Vince. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
