Hey! So as I've been struggling with college and... life in general, as a disabled trans person, I've taken to just booking without posting anything so I could use TEW for stimulation. As a result, I'm now in May of 2003 - yeah, I've done over a year since the last post! I'm going to very, very briefly try and sum up some of the major beats of 2002, and then I'm going to focus on booking through Bash of the Beach 2003. Following BATB is going to be the first trades in the brand split, plus it's my second biggest PPV of the year. After that, I'll work on an updated roster, title histories/championships, and getting the Starrcade 2002 card posted up just for fun. Check the quick retrospective below the cut!

World Championship Wrestling Roster, circa February 2002
So, about half a year has passed, and it's time to see how the landscape of WCW has changed and how it hasn't! Since we have two brands this time around, I'm going to split the roster accordingly. As with last time, yet-to-debut workers and teams will not be included, nor will talent only on loan for a brief amount of time. Workers under new gimmicks will have their most well known name in brackets. Unlike last time, road agents and strictly backstage personnel will not be included in the list. Heels will be in red, faces will be in blue.

WCW The Big Bang
20,000 in attendance at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY.
Commentary by Jim Ross and Mike Tenay.
One era ends, and another begins. Rivals will clash for the final time, new champions will be crowned for the first time ever, and legends will meet to send off the pre-brand split era in fantastic fashion. The world changes forever tonight at the Big Bang - don't miss it for anything below the break.

January 2001 - The Road to The Big Bang
So, this is kind of going to be a slow news month. Most of the set up to The Big Bang has just been dream matches, title contention, and the draft. As a result, there's not really a lot to write about. In addition to the set up for the show, I'll talk about some changes in my save from 2001 to 2002 and what led up to them, in-universe. Thanks and see you below!
