Backstory:
WCW had become nothing more than a parody of what once was the greatest wrestling promotion on the face of the earth. A good majority of their fans had either stopped watching, or turned over to the raunchy, over the top attitude of the WWF. Many top wrestlers were predicting the fall of WCW and in turn jumped to the WWF in an attempt to revitalize their careers. Little did they know, one of the biggest revelations in Pro Wrestling history was on the cusp of it's inception.
Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon who had been groomed as the successors to the McMahon empire had grown tired of living in their father's large shadow. They felt it was time to make a name for themselves separate from their father's accomplishments. In October of 2000 Shane and Stephanie took a giant risk and secretly began negotiating with WCW in order to purchase the failing company.
With the help of a silent partner, the McMahon's were able to quietly purchase WCW without their father's knowledge. It was very public that WCW had been sold, it just was kept under wraps as to who bought it.
With the support and blessing of their mother, Linda McMahon Shane and Stephanie went onto step 2 of their plan. They combined all three McMahon's stocks in the WWF, as well as purchased additional stock with funds provided by their financial backer. With this move, they had Vince by the balls as they were now one of the majority owners within the WWF.
With that power, Shane and his group were able to convince the Titan Sports board of directors that it would be in the best interests of the WWF to expand their brand. They revealed their new found ownership of the WCW brand and claimed that Titan Sports now has an amazing opportunity to be in control of the two top wrestling brands in the world and maximize both profit and stock value. In return for Shane will set up the WCW brand and allow Titan Sports to franchise it as a separate company. Shane suggests that in order to do this right they need the star power to balance out.
After Vince gets over how furious he is regarding the situation, he realizes the great business opportunity that awaits for him to have his company Titan Sports franchise WCW. The draft proposal is voted in and the new era of WCW is upon us.
The draft took place behind closed doors and the results were announced to the public. The New Era of the Monday Night Wars is set to begin on January 1st of 2001.
