8/2/2004 Raw: 3.5 Nitro: 3.4
8/9/2004 Raw: 3.55 Nitro: 3.47 (Go Home to Road Wild)
The summer was a tight battle, but after several weeks of Nitro barely edging the ratings thanks to the blockbuster Rhodes/Karver and Rhodes/Raven feuds, Raw eventually edged its way in front a few times as July turned to August, with its main storyline following underdog King of the Ring winner Eddie Guerrero as he challenges WWE champion Triple H, with former champs Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar both also staking a claim to the title. Lesnar's victory in the ensuing Fatal 4-Way at Badd Blood was not well-received at first, but the hype is rapidly building for the upcoming Lesnar/Guerrero title match at Summerslam. Meanwhile in WCW, Glenn Karver and Legion K are running rampant on Nitro, keeping a stranglehold on the World Heavyweight Championship as Sting and whoever is brave enough to join him stand against him. The Tag and Cruiserweight divisions are absolutely lighting it up, giving WCW a decided advantage when it comes to undercard workrate, but major feuds such as Rhodes/Raven and Helms/Awesome opposed to HHH/Angle or Undertaker/Benoit come down to a matter of viewer opinion.
[We're seriously neck and neck. These are actually being decided by 0.01 some weeks. Also I'm just totally making up what's going on in WWE. I figure Trips beat Angle in some dumb match on Raw trying to beat me in the ratings, and then Brock won it at Badd Blood. Eddie's probably getting his No Way Out moment at Summerfest.] |

Order of Entry: 1A: Reno 1B: Dustin Rhodes 2A: Mike Sanders 2B: AJ Styles Raven 3A: Christopher Daniels 3B: AJ Styles 4A: Konnan 4B: Sting
Styles was going to enter second, but Raven stopped him and entered instead, looking like he was going to attack Rhodes and potentially join Legion K. However, he instead helped Dustin up, and turned back face-ish by helping the team win the match. The significance of the finish is that Konnan had a legit calf injury a couple months back, so I decided to make it part of his gimmick that he always had it heavily wrapped/in a boot and used it to his advantage in matches. However, it came back to bite him as it was a known weakness that was exploited for the victory. In addition, by gaining the fall in the WarGames match, Styles becomes #1 Contender for the World Championship. |

85% Overall
It was revealed shortly after Fall Brawl that Raven's feud with Dustin Rhodes was a psychological test he created to help Dustin win back the world title from Karver, who Raven feels is a threat to the business if the entire roster sees him as unbeatable. He created situations where Dustin would feel like he has no chance of winning, but still manage to prevail through sheer force of will, such as a match where the rules were made up by his opponent, or a WarGames match with a likely treacherous partner. The lesson being taught, and the story being told, is that nobody is unbeatable, anyone has at least a chance to beat anyone else, and that for Rhodes, beating a monster like Karver starts in his own head. This match is the final test; Raven still has a score to settle with Karver (he's cost him the US title and chokeslammed him through the announce table on separate occasions), so if Rhodes can't get it done Raven himself is plan B, and has no intention of simply letting Rhodes take his #1 contendership (by winning the WarGames match, both Styles and Raven earned shots at the title due to not having challenged Karver before). Why would Raven come up with such a convoluted plan to help someone else win the world title? It's Raven, he's clearly insane. |

Guerrero's emotional title victory over Brock Lesnar at Summerslam got Raw a few substantial wins over the build to Goldberg/Karver III., but the revelation of Raven's true intentions on September 20 pulled Nitro back ahead for the next several weeks. WWE's response was to put Guerrero in a deeply personal feud with Triple H in which they traded the title back and forth several times, seemingly to mirror WCW's deeply personal Rhodes/Raven and Shane Helms/Mike Awesome feuds. However, this was seen by the fans as nothing more than an attempt to pad HHH's title reign number, and more and more fans began to tune out as they played hot potato with the belt. The blame for the ratings drop, however, fell on Guerrero, and he would eventually drop the title finally to Triple H at Survivor Series in a Last Chance match, which in turn caused ratings to drop even further. This, coupled with the hot build to the highly foreshadowed rematch between Karver and Rhodes, seems to be an aligning of the stars for WCW as they head towards Starrcade. [They pulled ahead in August, but I had a big ratings jump after Fall Brawl, and then another huge one after Mayhem. Stay tuned for that, lol. Also, yes, the HHH/Eddie feud I made up for them is absolutely a jab at Charlotte vs Sasha. Also surprising is how much both of our ratings are going up during football season. ] |

| Major Players Heading into 2005:
[Over | Brawl | Speed | Technical | Charisma]
Dustin Rhodes Babyface | 35 years old [100 | 81 | 24 | 48 | 88] WCW World Heavyweight Champion 2004 was a big year for Dustin Rhodes. He came in as a semi-unproven world champion with a lot of doubters, but undoubtedly left as the Ace of WCW. After losing "the big one" to Goldberg back at Starrcade 2001, and missing most of 2002 and 2003 due to injuries and going to rehab for painkiller addiction, he won the title from Mike Awesome in a lackluster match at the end of 2003 and defended it at Starrcade in a 3-way dance, where he pinned the upstart AJ Styles. However, he had no less than 3 classic feuds in 2004 - with Booker T, Glenn Karver, and Raven - all of which got callbacks at the end of the year, and put on classic matches with each of them. He ended the year by finally winning the World Title back from the previously unbeaten Karver at Starrcade to cement his place as the top Babyface in WCW. However, the entire roster is lining up to challenge the new champion, and 2005 will potentially be just as trying for the now-four-time champion.
Glenn Karver Tweener (Leans Heel) | 37 Years Old [97 | 85 | 25 | 20 | 78] The former Kane was signed from WWE in late 2003 and debuted at Sin with a brutal attack on Goldberg. Declaring himself "A demon from the depths of Hell" and "Unbeatable by mere mortals", he proceeded to run through the entire roster, including convincing Pay-Per-View victories over Goldberg (twice) and Sting. In the meantime, he and his manager James Mitchell were approached by a number of disenfranchised WCW roster members, seeking to become followers of the seemingly unstoppable Karver. Following an ideology of brutality and "Might makes Right", they created a stable called Legion K, which was joinable only after receiving a beating from Karver himself. While initially successful, as Karver would initially help Mike Sanders win the United States title from Raven, Legion K eventually proved their uselessness, as while Karver kept a stranglehold on the world title, his followers did almost nothing but lose to the various babyfaces Karver was feuding with. After losing the world title at Starrcade, Karver snapped, brutally assaulting each member of Legion K the next night on Nitro. How long will Legion K survive into 2005? Will Karver reclaim his world title?
Booker T Heel | 39 Years Old [93 | 82 | 42 | 59 | 90] The 5-time world champion was on a downturn in 2004, as he spent the entire year chasing his 6th reign. After earning the #1 Contendership early in the year, he engaged in a stellar series of two matches with Dustin Rhodes, but wasn't able to come up with the belt. He spent most of the next several months begging Commissioner Hulk Hogan for another shot, but Hogan would never give him one, leading to Booker assaulting Hogan multiple times. Faced with being fired, he challenged WCW CEO Ric Flair to a match with his contract on the line, and after winning that, challenged Hogan himself to a Loser Leaves match, which he won after Flair turned heel on Hogan over their personal differences. Later, he thought he could align himself with Flair and the new commissioner Joel Gertner, but they wouldn't have any of it either, and Booker found himself at a crossroads. Finally, he closed out the year with a final war against his longtime nemesis Goldberg, with whom he had feuded for the majority of 2003. However, Booker was simply the better man at Starrcade, becoming only the second man (after Mike Awesome) to pin Goldberg cleanly. However, with old rivals Rhodes and Sting - as well as the monsterous Karver - standing in his way, it remains to be seen whether Booker will return to the title picture in 2005.
Mike Awesome (w/Torrie Wilson) Heel | 39 Years Old [92 (84) | 80 | 35 | 47 | 69 (80)] Mike Awesome's best days were seemingly behind him. He made a name for himself by beating Goldberg at The Great American Bash 2002, and had a notable feud with the upstart AJ Styles over the title in 2006 which saw Styles turn heel to retain the belt before eventually losing it to Awesome. However, Mike hadn't had a truly great match since toppling Goldberg, and most fans seem to agree he isn't quite the same wrestler he was back in ECW. That, coupled with his poor mic skills and reliance on storyline girlfriend Torrie Wilson to cut promos for him, caused many to question his legitimacy as a main eventer. This was all changed, however, by his odd couple team (and eventual feud) with Shane Helms. Their battles with the likes of Candido and Douglas and the Second City Saints brought out the absolute best in Awesome, and while the matches between he and Helms weren't anything spectacular, the feud itself was red-hot, as Awesome eventually convinced Torrie that Shane only formed the team to take her away from him, and they proceeded to team up to lay waste to him. Following a role-reversed victory over AJ Styles at Starrcade, Mike and Torrie now have their sights on the world title as two of the top heels in the company.
AJ Styles Babyface | 27 Years Old [90 | 61 | 92 | 89 | 83] The Phenomenal One started 2004 as a cocky young heel intent on conquering the world, but after an extended return to the Cruiserweight division, he very well may have ended it as the Heart and Soul of WCW. After losing the World Championship to Dustin Rhodes, he engaged with a short program with Mike Awesome before catching the ire of Rey Misterio Jr. with his arrogance. The two show-stealers engaged in an epic series of battles, one that tought the young Styles a valuable lesson in respect. After they traded victories, Styles quickly turned his attention to Cruiserweight champion David Cash, who he easily dispatched for his 4th reign with the belt. After holding a master class across the division over the summer, the now-face Styles went on to join the fight against Legion K, playing a major role in the WarGames match and eventually earning a title shot against Karver. After quietly losing the Cruiserweight title to Chavo Guerrero, the youngest ever World Heavyweight Champion is now a much more complete character, and looks to climb back to the top of the mountain in 2005.
Raven Tweener (Leans Babyface) | 40 Years Old [92 | 79 | 9 | 26 | 95] Raven's major role in 2004 was as the mastermind behind the plot to dethrone Glenn Karver. This included his hallmark feud with Dustin Rhodes, which could very well be seen as a turning point in the history of WCW. Despite also having one of the best in-ring years of his career, the 40-year old seems to be toning it down in 2005, as he has been named WCW Commissioner going forward.
Chris Kanyon Heel | 34 Years Old [89 | 79 | 20 | 75 | 79] Kanyon started the year as US Champion, but lost it to Raven in mid-spring. After retiring Sid Vicious over the summer, he went on to win the belt back in a high-profile program with Sting, but seems to being groomed for a main event push going forward, as he dropped the title at Starrcade. Rumors are swirling that he'll be world champ by the end of 2005, but with so many other contenders around, he's got a long line to wait in.
Shane Helms Babyface | 30 Years Old [86 | 69 | 86 | 80 | 80] WCW United States Heavyweight Champion Most of Shane Helms's year was entwined in his team/feud with Mike Awesome, which he clearly came out on the losing end of. However, he started and ended the year in the US Title division, and closed out the year by finally getting his first reign with the title by toppling Kanyon. With most of the other major players eyeing the world title, Helms will have a lot of hungry young challengers to deal with in his reign. Largely seen as nothing more than a "poor man's AJ Styles", he has a lot to prove in 2005.
Jeff Jarrett Heel | 36 Years Old [83 | 74 | 2 | 69 | 84] Double J returned from injury in late spring to challenge Dustin Rhodes for the world title, but fell into obscurity for several months after that before teaming up with Jason Jett to form the Double J society, a stable entirely made up of wrestlers with J-names. While Jarrett himself has been largely unsuccessful in 2004, the stable at least was beneficial in helping Jett become both Hardcore and Cruiserweight Champion late in the year. Jarrett has a bit of a chip on his shoulder due to lack of success, so he's surely looking for an eventful 2005.
Sean O'Haire Tweener (Leans Babyface) | 30 Years Old [80 | 78 | 66 | 50 | 75] Sean O'Haire didn't do much of note in 2004 aside from spending a large portion of the year as Hardcore champion, but he did have some more high profile feuds toward the end of the year with the likes of Booker T and Lance Storm. With WCW's aging main event scene, O'Haire is another name that has been heavily rumored for a big push in 2005.
Monty Brown (w/Joel Gertner) Heel | 32 Years Old [73 (76) | 78 | 47 | 90 | 90 (82)] WCW's best-kept secret. The "Alpha Male" garnered rave reviews in development against the likes of Rob Conway and Ricky Banderas before debuting on the main roster in November, managed by recently-fired former commissioner Gertner. He's been a force to be reckoned with so far on the undercard, and seems to be destined for big things going forward. |

*Legion K has had a bit of a falling out over the past 3 weeks, and it comes to a head in this match. During the match, Mike Sanders comes down and attacks Karver with a chair. The rest of Legion K appear to come out to stop him, but Konnan and Reno turn as well and beat down Daniels and Karagias before joining Sanders in taking Karver out of the match.
[The last Nitro before this had a pretty cool moment IMO. Sanders had been questioning Karver's leadership after he lost the title, and the rest of the group threatened to kick him out. On the last Nitro, there was a tag team match between Karver & Booker and Rhodes & Sting. Sanders ran in to attack the faces and caused a DQ. As Booker and Rhodes brawled, Sanders called for Karver to chokeslam Sting. Karver had him in the chokehold, but as Sanders celebrated, Karver grabbed him as well and chokeslammed the both of them.] |
