Im starting a save based on the New Blood mod for january 2001. In my rebook im going to play as if Eric Bischoff was able to buy the company and try to bring WCW back to prominence.
This is going to be my first real attempt at this so im sure im going to make mistakes along the way.
So stay tuned for my weekly in game updates!
Any pointers or things youd like to see happen would be welcomed
