WCW Monday Nitro - Monday, March 25th, 1996
- Last night was the not-so-good Uncensored '96 pay per view. The pay per view suffered because they (WCW) had seven guys in one match.
- If WCW were to have split those matches into tag team or singles matches, their pay per view would have been far better.
- What would I have done? Simple. Hogan Vs Sullivan. Might not be the best match, but in order for this feud to officially end, Hogan needs to go over Sullivan, the leader of the group trying to end him.
- Now, I wouldn't want to do another Savage/Flair contest. So, this is where things would get tricky. You could switch BM over to team with Savage against Flair and Anderson.
- This would have allowed Luger to team with Sting in the street fight, something a lot of people wanted to see, I would assume.
- The Giant could face Ness still, but keep it short and sweet.
- Alright, after showcasing my booking ability, lets go to WCW Nitro!
