FEBRUARY 4, 2005 - SMACKDOWN!

February kicks off with a huge six-man tag team main event pitting both the WWE and World Champions as well as the Intercontinental Champion against the Royal Rumble winner, the King of the Ring, and the first Undisputed Champion in wrestling history! Plus, the World Tag Team Titles are on the line, a mixed tag-team match featuring the United States Champion and the Women's Champion, a return, a debut, and a triple-threat match between the last three men in the Elite Battle Royal from Monday night!

We kick things off with the debut of Pepper Parks, who teams with Johnny Jeter and Richard J. Criado against Colt Cabana, Jay Briscoe, and Teddy Hart. The new generation of WWE is alive and kicking on SmackDown!, and they put on a heck of a match, but the fans still haven't quite gotten behind any of them. Cabana pins Parks for the win following the Colt 45.

Brock Lesnar comes to the ring and grabs a microphone. He hypes up his feud with Rob Van Dam, reminding him of how he's already destroyed Axl Rotten, Nova, and Tommy Dreamer. By eliminating RVD's past, he's setting up to destroy his future. And tonight, the run continues.

He awaits the arrival of his next opponent... a returning Spike Dudley! Spike hits the ring and runs right into a massive clothesline. Brock toys with Spike for a little bit before finally putting him down with an F-5 for the win. After the match, Brock grabs a chair from ringside and coldcocks the runt of the Dudley litter, further driving home his hatred for RVD.

John Cena is backstage, and he cuts a quick promo about tonight's six-man main event. He focuses primarily on Chris Jericho - a man who has gone out of his way to make Cena's life difficult lately. And Cena really only has two letters for Jericho tonight - F and U!

Back from commercial, it's time for a World Tag Team Championship match! Los Guerreros have held the gold for a little over two months and have turned back all challengers. But since Ron Simmons' return to the ring, the APA has been tearing up the tag team division and tonight they get their shot at the gold! The four participants definitely show that tag team wrestling is alive and well on SmackDown!, and Eddie looks to be about to put the challengers away with a Frogsplash on Simmons. Layfield hits the ring to try to protect his partner, but Chavo slides into the ring with a chair to drive him off. Unfortunately, while the ref is watching Layfield leave the ring... Chavo hits his uncle with the chair! Eddie falls limply to the canvas while Chavo walks away. Eddie manages to get to his feet, but is destroyed by a running tackle from Simmons and the three-count is elementary. We have new World Tag Team Champions! As the APA leave the ring with the gold, Eddie's longtime rival (and #1 contender for the Intercontinental Title) Tajiri hits the ring, then blasts Eddie with the Kick of Death! Eddie has been absolutely destroyed, both physically and emotionally!

On the top of the ramp, Chavo has a microphone. "Hey, Uncle Eddie! Remember me? Yeah, I didn't think so! We were World Tag Team Champions, but all you could think about was the Elite. All you cared about was your feud with Tajiri or making the big bucks on two shows a week! Pay-per-view matches, interview segments... and where was I?!? Uncle Eddie, the Guerrero name means 'warrior,' but the only warrior in this family is me. You? You're just a sellout. I hate you, and I'll never forgive you for making your own family into nothing but your sidekick on your own selfish quest for glory! Tajiri's going to continue to destroy you, but when he's done, I'm going to pick up the pieces and prove once and for all that I carried this team and I am the best Guerrero!"

Four days ago on RAW, Randy Orton earned his way into the Elite by virtue of winning a battle royal. To do so, he had to overcome his former Evolution teammate Dave Batista and his rival The Hurricane. Tonight, those three men meet in a triple threat rematch! It's a quick match, but a good one. Orton takes out Batista with a big clothesline, but eats a tiger suplex from Hurricane, which allows WWE's resident superhero to hit the Shining Wizard and pick up the win!

Royal Rumble winner Christian is backstage, and he also talks about tonight's six-man tag match. He focuses his attention on the WWE and World Champions, continuing to stress that by virtue of his Royal Rumble win, he can face either one of them at WrestleMania for their championship. He also talks about his team with Benoit and Jericho as being like a Canadian mafia. He coins the term "Nova Scotia Cosa Nostra," and of course the IWC loves it and the trio will now henceforth be known as such.

On RAW Monday night, Rey Mysterio and Mickie James insinuated that they would be facing Matt Hardy Version 2.0 and a Diva in a mixed-tag match. And tonight, that match happens as Hardy brings Jazz over from RAW for one night as his partner. The men control most of the action, including the finish, which sees Matt nail Rey in the face with the ring bell while the referee tries to separate the women. Matt gets the cheap pin, but afterwards the pairs of rivals brawl up the ramp and out of sight.

The Rock cuts a promo on the new Nova Scotia Cosa Nostra stable, talking about how he doesn't care if Christian chooses him or if Chris Benoit cashes in his Money In The Bank title shot or if Chris Jericho... is also there, but he's going to enjoy getting his hands on all three of them tonight and checking them aaaaaaaaall into the Smackdown Hotel!

EWR doesn't care much for multi-man matches, but it sure as hell loved the six-man tag match main event tonight. The babyfaces isolate Christian early, but once he manages to tag in Benoit, the NSCN work over Cena for a bit. Eventually it comes down to Rhyno and Christian, and Rhyno gets a measure of revenge for weeks of torment at Xian's hands by nailing him with a Gore to send the fans home happy.

Now that my 360 has RRoDed, I'm finding myself with more time to plot and plan the road to WrestleMania 21 and the big storyline that's going to kick off the next night.

FEBRUARY 7, 2005 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW

With just three weeks to go until No Way Out and five to go until WrestleMania 21, Monday Night RAW kicks off with the third week of the United States Title Contender series. Shelton Benjamin enters tonight on a two-match winning streak, while Rene Dupree is 0-2 and hoping to turn his luck around. Unfortunately, Benjamin's roll continues, and one Dragon Whip later Benjamin climbs to 3-0 while Dupree remains winless.

In a battle of 1-1s and former arch-nemeses, former World Champions A-Train and Sean O'Haire go at it in our next contest. They pick up right where their feud left off with a very physical contest. Train prepares for a charging splash in the corner, but O'Haire drags the ref into harm's way resulting in a disqualification victory for A-Train, who is now 2-1 while O'Haire falls to 1-2. After the match, they brawl back up the ramp and backstage.

Our final week three contest pits two of the most exciting, technically-sound participants in the tournament against each other as Paul London takes on the Natural Born Ministry's Haas. Good match between the two that London wins clean with London Calling. After the match, Haas' stablemate Damien blasts London with a chokeslam, continuing his torment of the high-flier.

Through three weeks, the standings in the U.S. Contender Series are as follows:

3-0 Shelton Benjamin
2-1 A-Train
2-1 Paul London
1-2 Haas
1-2 Sean O'Haire
0-3 Rene Dupree

Back from commercial, Damien is still in the ring for his match with Tommy Dreamer. Very good brawl between two bruisers, but Damien picks up the win with a chokeslam. After the match, Damien rolls over onto his back to catch his breath after the battle, but that gave Paul London an opportunity to soar from the top rope and hit him with London Calling to even the night's score!

After winning a mixed tag match on SmackDown!, Jazz earned a shot tonight at Mickie James' Women's Title. Mickie dominates most of the match, but Jazz does get in some brawling offense midway. Mickie hits a tornado DDT to pick up the clean win.

Randy Orton is backstage. Tonight he has a huge match against John Cena, but he cuts a promo instead about his SmackDown! rival The Hurricane, a man who got a pinfall over him on Friday night. He talks about his hatred of Hurricane and how he's going to prove at No Way Out that it's Orton who is Elite and Hurricane is not even in his league!

Our next contest pits two ECW alumni against each other as Rob Van Dam takes on the sadistic Japanese buzzsaw Tajiri. RVD's rival Brock Lesnar has been tearing through RVD's former ECW friends, so tonight RVD faces off against an extreme alumnus of his own, not to mention a friend and frequent teammate of Lesnar's. They tear the place up, as you would expect. As RVD looks to have victory in hand, Lesnar sneaks into the ring and blasts him with an F-5 allowing Tajiri to pick up the cheap win. After the match, the heels put the boots to RVD until Eddie Guerrero hits the ring to make the save and pay Tajiri back for turning his own nephew Chavo against him Friday night!

Lesnar remains in the ring after the break for a match against former bitter rival Rey Mysterio. These two put on great matches last year, and this one is no exception. Lesnar eventually picks up a clean win with the F-5, but before he can celebrate, he eats a Van Daminator from Rob Van Dam!

Randy Orton continues his meteoric rise up the card. Earlier tonight, he cut a 98% quality promo, and now he puts on a 90% quality match with Intercontinental Champion John Cena! Great back-and-forth action between the young studs, but in the end it's Cena's FU that gets him the clean pinfall. After the match, Chris Jericho continues his streak of attacking Cena at every turn by laying him out with a steel chair.

Jericho is up next in a match with Eddie Guerrero, who is still fired up after assaulting Tajiri earlier tonight. As one would expect, the WCW alumni put together a great match. Eddie hits his frogsplash and looks to be about to pick up the victory, but as he looks up to see why the crowd has begun booing, he eats a Kick Of Death from Tajiri. The referee has no choice but to call for the bell, but Tajiri continues to pummel Guerrero. John Cena grabs the chair from ringside that Jericho used on him earlier to hit the ring and drive off the heels.

At No Way Out, World Champion Rhyno will team with WWE Champion The Rock to take on Royal Rumble winner Christian and Chris Jericho. Tonight, Christian brings a different partner - King of the Ring Chris Benoit - for a huge tag team preview! The match is on par with the Cena/Orton match from earlier for Match Of The Night. The heels get a cheap win after Christian puts Rhyno face-first into an exposed turnbuckle. After the match, a brawl erupts between the four men, a brawl that continues until we fade to black.

FEBRUARY 11, 2005 - SMACKDOWN!

Tonight's SmackDown! promises to be one for the ages, as twelve of the biggest stars in World Wrestling Entertainment square off in a series of singles matches just 16 days until Superbrawl! But everyone's rivals are lurking, which is the recipe for a very volatile night. Plus, Brock Lesnar's mission to destroy Rob Van Dam's past continues and a twenty-man battle royal for a shot next week at John Cena's Intercontinental Title!

But first, two very exciting young stars of the cruiserweight division go toe-to-toe in a match that both Air Paris and Derrick King hope will help them climb the ranks for an eventual shot at the gold. They put on a tremendous match to kick off the show with some great nearfalls. Eventually King hits Paris with an inverted suplex for the victory. After the match, they shake hands in a great display of sportsmanship.

The ring fills with SmackDown! superstars now, and as soon as the bell rings, the 20 men go right after each other - each anxious to earn a shot at Intercontinental gold. Test draws first blood, sending Brian Kendrick to the floor. Chavo Guerrero quickly sends Christian York out after him. BJ Whitmer sends Avery Thompson out next, and the up-and-comer John Morrison is taken out by Spike Dudley. The Metro Connection's Chris Kanyon takes out Trent Acid while Dave Batista eliminates Bubba Ray Dudley, followed almost immediately by Nunzio. Batista becomes the first to get two eliminations, but Chavo quickly joins him taking out Whitmer. Kanyon gets his second by eliminating Funaki. John Layfield eliminates Test next and we have our top ten. Chavo takes out Akio next, then Nova eliminates Layfield. Chavo continues his dominance by eliminating Spike, then Nova, then Ron Simmons, then Billy Gunn. We're down to our final four, but Chavo Guerrero looks unstoppable! Rico eliminates Chris Kanyon next, then brings Chavo's run to an end. It comes down to Superbrawl opponents Rico and Batista, and tonight the Nature Boy walks away victorious, earning a title shot next week!

Brock Lesnar is in the ring after the commercial break, and he cuts a promo on Rob Van Dam. It's basically the same promo he's been cutting for weeks about destroying RVD's past so he can destroy his future.

Lesnar's opponent tonight is D-Von Dudley. And the result is essentially the same. Brock spears him as soon as the bell rings, hits a delayed brainbuster, then a spinebuster for two. Thrust kick, but then eats a punch and a piledriver. Lesnar fights right back with a gutwrench powerbomb and the F5 for a squash victory. After the bell sounds, Brock isn't done, and he continues pummeling the hell out of D-Von, leaving him laid out. Once again, Lesnar has sent a message to Rob Van Dam of what awaits him at Superbrawl.

One of the great rivalries of 2004 was the one between The Hurricane and Matt Hardy Version 2.0, and tonight they get another chance to show why as they put on another absolute classic. Unfortunately, Hurricane's rival Randy Orton gets involved, blasting him with a chair allowing Matt to hit the Twist Of Fate for the cheap win. After the match, the two go to work on him until Rey Mysterio hits the ring to make the save, helping his fellow masked man and driving off his rival Hardy in the process.

Back from the break, Randy Orton remains in the ring for his match with Eddie Guerrero. It's not on the level of the Hurricane/Hardy match, but it's definitely exciting - one that proves that Orton definitely belongs among the Elite. Eddie looks about ready to hit the frogsplash, but before he can Tajiri enters the ring and levels him with the Kick Of Death. The referee obviously has no choice but to call for the disqualification, but that doesn't stop the beating. Tajiri and Orton continue working over Eddie until Hurricane comes back out for another shot at Orton with a chair, driving them away.

Mickie James is backstage. The Elite Diva cuts a promo that basically is just a reminder that she's still Elite but that there are no Divas on SmackDown! So... hi.

The Elite action continues next as Rey Mysterio takes on Tajiri. Rey has a huge United States Title defense against RAW's Damien, but his ongoing problems with Cruiserweight Champion Matt Hardy Version 2.0 continue. But, perhaps not surprisingly, it is Tajiri's issues with Eddie Guerrero lead to the conclusion of the match. Tajiri blasts Rey with the Kick Of Death, but Guerrero hits him with a frogsplash, resulting in another DQ finish. Hardy hits the ring to make the save, and we once again end with rivals being run off.

Intercontinental Champion John Cena will be facing Tajiri at Superbrawl (not to mention Dave Batista next week on SmackDown!), but tonight he faces off against King of the Ring Chris Benoit. Benoit leads the somewhat limited Cena to a good match, but that's all for naught as Cena's rival (and Benoit's Nova Scotia Cosa Nostra stablemate) Chris Jericho takes advantage of a distracted official to slap the Walls of Jericho on Cena, allowing Benoit to get the cheap win. After the match, the members of Canadian Violence work over Cena until Cena's former partner WWE Champion The Rock makes hits the ring with a purpose to make the save.

Jericho's got a tall order ahead of him after the break as he faces off against World Champion Rhyno in our next Elite encounter. Of course, we know Jericho and Royal Rumble winner Christian will be facing the WWE and World Champions at Superbrawl, and tonight we get two singles match previews of that huge main event. Great match that sets the table for what promises to be a hell of a PPV match, but again it's marred by interference as Christian lays Rhyno out with a chair allowing Jericho to put the unconscious manbeast in the Walls for a "submission" victory. After the match, John Cena looks for revenge as he drives off Jericho, allowing Rhyno to take out Christian and the babyfaces stand tall.

In our main event tonight, The Rock faces off against Christian in another Superbrawl preview. In a night full of Match of the Year contenders, this one may come a notch short of Rhyno/Jericho, but it's definitely up there. Rhyno gets a measure of revenge from earlier as he nails the Gore allowing Rock to pick up the win. After the match, Chris Benoit sprints down to drive off the champions, and the Nova Scotia Cosa Nostra stands tall as SmackDown! goes off the air!

FEBRUARY 14, 2005 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW

Love is most certainly not in the air as RAW kicks off on Valentine's night! Our United States Title Contenders Series kicks off RAW as the 2-1 A-Train takes on the 0-3 Rene Dupree. Dupree continues to have good showings, but he's outclassed by the former World Champion, who hits the Derailer to pick up his third win in the series.

Randy Orton is backstage, and he cuts a promo on his ongoing feud with The Hurricane, hyping their match at Superbrawl.

Paul London enters tonight at 2-1 in the USCS, while former World Champion Sean O'Haire is a disappointing 1-2. He can - of course - draw into a tie with London with a win here, but O'Haire's protege Damien can't keep his hands off his rival London, blasting him with a chair resulting in the DQ. After the match, O'Haire and Damien continue to work London over before leaving him laying.

Back from commercial, London has pulled himself back to his feet. He cuts a promo about Damien and how he hopes Damien wins the U.S. Title at Superbrawl so he can take it from him at WrestleMania when he wins the #1 contender spot!

Shelton Benjamin and Haas were once known as the World's Greatest Tag Team. Since Haas betrayed Shelton and joined the Natural Born Ministry, their rivalry has resulted in some great matches. Tonight, they meet in week four of the USCS. After a great match, Shelton hits the Dragon Whip to pick up the win.

Through four weeks, the standings in the U.S. Contender Series are as follows:

4-0 Shelton Benjamin (clinched spot in #1 contender match at Superbrawl)
3-1 A-Train (qualifies w/ win next week - holds tiebreaker against London)
3-1 Paul London (must win and have Train lose next week to qualify)
1-3 Haas (mathematically eliminated from contention)
1-3 Sean O'Haire (mathematically eliminated from contention)
0-4 Rene Dupree (mathematically eliminated from contention)

Mickie James is in the ring after the commercial, and she talks about how she's done everything there is to do in WWE. She says that she's going to defend her Women's Title on both shows for the rest of the month against every Diva on the roster. If she loses the belt... she quits!

Her first test is a triple threat match against Daffney and Shaniqua. Pretty weak match, honestly, but Mickie gets the win after hitting Shaniqua with the Mick Kick.

Backstage, Rey Mysterio cuts a promo on his feud with Matt Hardy Version 2.0. Pretty basic Rey stuff about overcoming the odds. Good promo, just basic.

Tonight, Brock Lesnar faces his first real test on his run through Rob Van Dam's past tonight as he faces fellow Elite member Eddie Guerrero. These two put on the great match you'd expect, but Eddie's rival Tajiri hits the ring and blasts Eddie with the Kick Of Death allowing Brock to pick up the cheap win. Van Dam hits the ring with a chair. He throws it at Brock, who dodges it and heads for the hills with Tajiri.

Rhyno heads to the ring for a promo, but before he can say anything, Christian blindsides him, grabs the World Championship, and lays him out with it, posing with it as we go to commercial.

Tonight's main event is a huge tag-team war pitting WWE Champion The Rock and Intercontinental Champion John Cena against their long-running rivals Chris Jericho and King of the Ring Chris Benoit. This is definitely one of the best matches of the year so far, and they pull out all the stops. In the end, Jericho rolls up Cena with a handful of tights for the cheap win. After the match, the four rivals brawl up the ramp and out of sight as RAW fades to black.

FEBRUARY 18, 2005 - SMACKDOWN!

SmackDown! kicks off with Brock Lesnar making his way to the ring. His opponent tonight is Bubba Ray Dudley, the next opponent in his string of attempts to destroy Rob Van Dam's past. As soon as the bell rings, he blasts Bubba with a belly to belly suplex, and he doesn't let up from there. Bubba gets in some offense, but he eventually eats the F-5 just like all the others before him. After the bell, Brock continues pummeling Bubba, leaving him laid out.

He grabs a microphone from ringside and reiterates his mission. He will one day become WWE Champion again, but his first order of business is to destroy Rob Van Dam's future after he's done destroying his past!

Speaking of missions, Mickie James outlined hers on RAW, and tonight is her second defense - this time against her friend Victoria. Decent back-and-forth match, but eventually Mickie picks up the win with the Mick Kick.

Rhyno is backstage. He hypes up tonight's big tag-team main events, but mostly focusing on Royal Rumble winner Christian, begging him to choose him for his title opportunity at WrestleMania 21.

Two weeks ago, Chavo Guerrero shocked the world by betraying his uncle Eddie. Tonight, he gets a chance to back up his statement that he is the best Guerrero, and Eddie has a chance to get some revenge as they go one-on-one! Excellent match that sees Chavo look like a legitimate threat, but eventually Eddie's got him down on the mat, preparing for a frogsplash. But out of the crowd comes Tajiri, who trips Eddie up on the top rope, resulting in a DQ. On the floor, Tajiri sends Eddie into the ringpost for further insult, but Eddie fights back and drives both of them off.

Eddie grabs a microphone and cuts possibly the promo of the year. He talks about how Tajiri has taken this too far now. It was one thing to attack him physically and mentally over the last couple of months, but now that he's brought his family into things, his luck is going to run out. Two weeks ago, Chavo woke him up when he called him a sell-out and a traitor to his own family. The only thing that's going to be selling out now is the arena when Eddie finally gets his hands on Tajiri, because it's not going to be something these fans will ever forget!

Last week, "Nature Boy" Dave Batista won a twenty-man battle royal to earn a shot at John Cena's Intercontinental Title tonight. They put on a very physical match-up, further proof that these two could be the future of the SmackDown! brand, but Cena's rival Chris Jericho once again sticks his nose into Cena's business by blasting him with a chair. Batista picks up the pieces and hits a Batista Bomb to win the title! They tie Cena up in the ropes and work him over with punches until the ring fills with officials who manage to drag them away.

Eric Bischoff appears on the TitanTron. "Okay, that is it! I have had it with the two of you always being at each other's throats! Chris, you've got a tag match at Superbrawl you should be preparing for, but you're too busy jumping Cena at every turn. And John, you were supposed to be defending that title against Tajiri in nine days! But now because the two of you can't leave well enough alone, Mister Batista is going to be the one running with the ball. Good luck, Dave, and make me proud. But as for the two of you? I am hereby issuing a moratorium. Unless it is part of a sanctioned match, you two are forbidden from having any physical contact with each other! And if either of you disobeys my ruling? You'll be fired!"

Up next is a big tag-team match pitting World Champion Rhyno and The Hurricane against Christian and Randy Orton. Very good match between four hungry stars ends with Orton catching Hurricane with a low blow while the ref's back is turned, then rolls him up for a cheap win! After the match, the brawling continues until they're separated.

The Hurricane grabs a microphone from ringside and - once his voice drops back to its regular pitch - calls out Orton. He again calls Orton a villain and says he can't wait until Superbrawl when he can finally vanquish his foe!

Tonight's main event is another huge tag match pitting WWE Champion The Rock and United States Champion Rey Mysterio against Cruiserweight Champion Matt Hardy Version 2.0 and King of the Ring Chris Benoit! Lots of good action between the four of them, but we eventually get a mirror of the earlier finish, Benoit cheapshotting Rock below the belt for a roll up and the cheap win. After the match, all four continue brawling as SmackDown! goes off the air!

FEBRUARY 21, 2005 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW

With only six days remaining until Superbrawl, the participants in the United States Title #1 contender's match will be determined tonight, Mickie James continues to defend the Women's Title against any and all comers, Brock Lesnar's ECW run continues against the World Champion and much much more!

We open the night with Mickie James defending her championship against Molly Holly. The Elite Diva continues her dominance of the division, hitting a tornado DDT for the clean win.

Up next is a United States Championship Series match between two superstars who are no longer in the running for a shot at the gold. Rene Dupree enters tonight with zero wins in the series, and Sean O'Haire has only one. The former World Champion rebounds from his recent bad luck, hitting a Seanton Bomb for the victory to finish 2-3 while Dupree finishes 0-5.

Canadian Violence - Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho - are backstage and they cut a promo about their respective feuds with The Rock and John Cena. Jericho mentions that Bischoff has forbidden him from making contact with Cena except in a sanctioned match. Which is just going to drive buyrates through the roof for when he finally makes the overhyped brawler tap out to the Walls of Jericho!

A-Train is in a great position in the USCS. If he defeats Haas, he will face Shelton Benjamin Sunday night for a shot at the United States Title. Even if he loses, if Benjamin defeats Paul London tonight, the match will still be on. Haas throws a wrench in the works as he clamps the former World Champion in the Haas Of Pain, and the giant has no chance to tap out! Haas finishes at 2-3 while Train stumbles to 3-2.

So it all comes down to Paul London and Shelton Benjamin. We know Shelton will be part of that contender's match, and if he defeats Paul London, he'll be facing A-Train on Sunday. If, however, London picks up the win tonight, it will be these two again at Superbrawl with a title opportunity on the line! Solid match between two hot young stars, but London picks up the win with London Calling. Both men finish at 4-1 and will face off at Superbrawl.

Eric Bischoff appears on the TitanTron and makes it official. This Sunday night at Superbrawl, it will be Paul London against Shelton Benjamin. The winner will earn a United States Title opportunity at WrestleMania 21!

Two of the most exciting superstars in World Wrestling Entertainment are Rob Van Dam and the Royal Rumble winner Christian. Tonight, these two go one-on-one. It's a very exciting match that sees World Champion Rhyno get a measure of revenge for weeks of cheap shots by blasting Christian with a Gore allowing RVD to pick up the win. After the match, RVD's Superbrawl opponent (and the man who'll face Rhyno in tonight's main event) Brock Lesnar enters the ring to even the odds.

Remember all those great Rock/Tajiri matches from last year? Well... here's another one! Once again, these two put together a hell of a contest that ends with the WWE Champion picking up the win with the Rock Bottom. After the match, Tajiri's longtime rival Eddie Guerrero lays him out with a chairshot to the back. Apparently it's Revenge Night for the babyfaces!

Eddie grabs a microphone and cuts another promo on Tajiri. Not as good as the one from SmackDown! but still pretty good. The inevitable match between these two promises to be amazing!

Randy Orton has proved time and again recently that he's earned his spot in the Elite, and tonight he faces off against fellow Elite superstar Rey Mysterio. Orton again shows that he can put on a good match with the right opponent, and he picks up a big win with the RKO!

Our main event tonight is the next step in Brock Lesnar's attempt to destroy Rob Van Dam's past. But he faces his toughest challenge yet in the World Heavyweight Champion Rhyno! After weeks of abuse, Rob Van Dam finally manages to cost Brock in his run by hitting him with a chair during a moment of confusion, allowing Rhyno to hit the Gore! RVD and Rhyno go to work on Brock, but Christian comes out with a chair of his own to even the score a bit. The four rivals stare each other down as RAW goes off the air.

FEBRUARY 25, 2005 - SMACKDOWN!

With just two days to go until Superbrawl, the WWE superstars are looking to make one last impression on their opponents - as well as rivals they won't be facing on Sunday.

We kick things off with tag team action as ECW Originals Nova and Spike Dudley team up to take on Test and fellow ECW alumni Nunzio. Pretty good match that showcases four guys who are pretty well stuck in the midcard. Eventually, Test lays out Spike with a big boot to give the heels the win.

For a time last year, Billy Gunn and Chris Kanyon were the dominant team on SmackDown! Now that Gunn has seen the error of his ways and turned against the Metro Connection, Kanyon has been adrift. Tonight, former partners collide. It doesn't take long before the two are brawling into the corner. The referee tries to break up the fight, but after being shoved aside by both competitors, the referee disqualifies both of them! That doesn't stop them, though, as they brawl up the ramp and out of sight, clearly some bad feelings linger after their breakup!

The Hurricane is backstage, preparing for tonight's big six-man tag match. He talks primarily about his feud with Randy Orton and their big match this Sunday at Superbrawl, though.

Last week on SmackDown!, "Nature Boy" Dave Batista won the Intercontinental Title from John Cena. Sunday night, he faces off against longtime rival Rico Constantino. But tonight, Batista teams with new World Tag Team champions the APA against Rico and the Dudley Boyz! Rico and Batista start the match, but the cohesion of the Dudleyz help the babyfaces isolate the IC champ early. Once Batista tags out, the heels work over Bubba. Eventually, it comes down to Rico and the Nature Boy, and Sunday's challenger picks up a big win with his spinning leg lariat.

Back from commercial, Joey Matthews from M'n'M is already in the ring, and he faces an unenviable task as he's the last stop on Brock Lesnar's ECW run. Even more unfortunately for Matthews, Brock is rebounding from his first loss on this run. The bell sounds and Brock hits a piledriver followed immediately by the F-5 for the squash to end all squashes. After the match, he lays Matthews out with a brutal clothesline and a series of stomps. Clearly, Lesnar is more focused than ever on his match with Rob Van Dam!

Matt Hardy Version 2.0 is backstage, and he cuts a promo on Rey Mysterio. They may not be facing off at Superbrawl, but he knows they will sooner or later and - when they do - Matt is going to make sure that Rey is finished. And that's a Matt Fact!

Three of WWE's most popular Divas square off next in a triple threat match for Mickie James' Women's Title. Mickie continues her run through the division as she hits Lita with a tornado DDT for another successful title defense.

Three weeks ago, Eddie Guerrero was betrayed by his nephew Chavo thanks to some "enlightening" from Tajiri. Tonight, Chavo and Tajiri team up against Eddie and John Cena! Good solid match that sees power moves from Cena and high-flying from the others. Eventually, Tajiri picks up a cheap win by rolling Eddie up with a handful of tights. After the bell, all four men continue brawling until they're pulled apart.

Eddie again grabs a mic and again cuts a killer promo on Tajiri. Not a bad way to build a feud, huh? Let one of the best talkers in the industry talk? Genius!

Our second six-man tag match is up next, and it's a huge one as The Hurricane teams with the World Champion Rhyno and WWE Champion The Rock Randy Orton, Royal Rumble winner Christian, and King of the Ring Chris Benoit! Rock and Benoit stay out of it for the most part, leaving most of the fighting to Orton and Rhyno. Eventually, though, it's Hurricane and Orton alone in the ring with Hurricane picking up a big win against his Elite rival with the Eye Of The Hurricane!

Tonight's main event pits Rey Mysterio against Chris Jericho in a battle of two of the Elite's best technicians. It's a fantastic contest, as one would expect, but it's also one marred by interference. Matt Hardy Version 2.0 hits the ring and blasts Rey with the Twist Of Fate, allowing Jericho to pick up the win. After the match, the heels double-team Rey, leaving him laying as SmackDown! goes off the air.

FEBRUARY 28, 2005 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW

As RAW comes on the air, "Just Close Your Eyes" hits the speakers, and the Nova Scotia Cosa Nostra makes their way to the ring. Chris Benoit leads the way, wearing the WWE Title he won last night while Christian and Chris Jericho are wearing matching grins. Christian grabs the microphone: "Surpriiiiiise! Last night, the Nova Scotia Cosa Nostra achieved Part One of our master plan. Chris Jericho and I set the perfect trap. Keep Rhyno and The Rock guessing as to which of their titles I'm coming for at WrestleMania, and let the Crippler, the King Of The Ring, and - oh, yeah! - the guy who has a guaranteed title shot anytime he wants it Chris Benoit pick up the pieces! And now Chris Benoit is your new WWE Champion and tonight, I sign my contract for a World Title match against Rhyno. In two weeks, RAW's going to kick off exactly the same way, except there will be two of us with championship gold, because that's how we roll!"

Our opening contest pits Rey Mysterio against Sean O'Haire. Rey is looking to bounce back after dropping the United States Title to O'Haire's protege Damien last night (thanks to help from Matt Hardy Version 2.0). Pretty good match that showcases the sadness that is O'Haire's fall down the card. Hopefully after the dust clears from WM21, he'll be able to bounce back either on a new brand or with new opponents. Rey picks up the clean win with the West Coast Pop.

Brock Lesnar is in the ring after commercial, and he doesn't want to talk much. He's finished talking. He wants to issue one last challenge. Brock Lesnar, Rob Van Dam, WrestleMania, steel cage! RVD appears on the TitanTron and doesn't want to say much either, except... "You're on!"

Shelton Benjamin and Randy Orton are out next, Shelton trying to bounce back after having lost out on a shot at the U.S. Title to Paul London, Orton trying to do the same after a disqualification loss to The Hurricane. Both of these guys are on the verge of greatness, and this match is the same. Orton wins clean with the RKO.

Orton grabs a microphone after the match and issues a challenge to The Hurricane. One last time at WrestleMania, you and me in a ladder match! Hurricane's music hits, but there's no sign of the masked hero. Instead, one word appears on the Tron: "Affirmative!"

Mickie James' run through the WWE Women's division comes to a close tonight as she faces off in a triple threat match against Jazz and her best friend, Trish Stratus! Really good match for a Divas' match, and Mickie picks up another clean win by hitting Jazz with a tornado DDT.

Eric Bischoff is in his office, and he announces that the moratorium he put on John Cena and Chris Jericho will come to an end at WrestleMania 21, because he's putting them against each other in an I Quit Match!

New United States Champion Damien will be defending his title at WrestleMania against Paul London, but tonight he's got a huge non-title contest against Eddie Guerrero! Decent match that ends with London getting involved by hanging Damien out to dry allowing Eddie to hit the frogsplash for the win. After the match, London works over Damien with a chair, venting weeks of frustration on the rookie monster!

"If ya smeeeeeeeeellllllll..." The crowd erupts as the former WWE Champion The Rock makes his way to the ring. He grabs a microphone and cuts a very un-Rock-like promo. He cuts to the chase by saying that - even though Benoit threw him for a loop last night - there's still an automatic rematch clause in any championship contract. And Rock is going to use his at WrestleMania 21 inside Hell In A Cell!

Our main event tonight pits the #1 contender for the U.S. Title Paul London against the sadistic Japanese buzzsaw Tajiri. Excellent high-flying match between two exciting stars. Damien gets a measure of revenge from earlier by blasting London with a chair allowing Tajiri to hit him with the Kick Of Death for the win. After the match, the heels work over London until Eddie Guerrero sprints to the ring to make the save!

Back from the last commercial break of the night, Rhyno and Christian are on opposite sides of a table that's been set up in the ring. Rhyno's World Championship is set on one end of the table, and a contract is in the middle. Both men talk a bit before signing their names. Christian gets the last word, then gets up and poses. Rhyno quietly props the table up in a corner, then when Christian turns around he GOOOOOOOORES him through it. Rhyno poses with the belt as RAW fades to black.

MARCH 4, 2005 - SMACKDOWN!

In the wake of a shocking Superbrawl and with just nine days until WrestleMania 21, the card is falling into place. Five matches have been announced, and more are expected to be announced tonight. Next week, there will be a fatal fourway match to determine #1 contenders to the A.P.A.'s WWE Tag Team Titles. Tonight, the top eight contenders will compete in a series of qualifying matches and the A.P.A. will have their own tune-up. Plus, a blockbuster eight-man main event featuring WM21 participants and a huge Elite tag team war.

But first, the A.P.A. take on a pair of exciting young high-fliers in Air Paris and Brian Kendrick in a non-title contest. The babyfaces put up a valiant effort, but eventually they fall to the champions' trademark spike powerbomb. After the match, they continue pummeling the heroes, leaving them laying and sending a message to the entire roster.

Our second non-title contest pits new Intercontinental Champion Dave Batista against Funaki. And you can imagine what the result is. Batista wins clean with the Batista Bomb.

Cruiserweight Champion Matt Hardy Version 2.0 comes out for our next match and he issues a challenge to his longtime rival Rey Mysterio for an Iron Man Match at WrestleMania 21! Iron Man Match for the Cruiserweight Title at WrestleMania? This must be fantasy booking.

Matt brings out his partner for our first tag contenders' match... and it's his returning brother, Jeff! Their opponents tonight are ECW originals Nova and Spike Dudley. It's an exciting contest between four high-flying stars, but eventually Jeff hits the Swanton Bomb on Spike to pick up the win, meaning the Hardy Boyz will be in next week's fatal fourway.

Their first opponent will be determined in our next contest as M'n'M take on the New Generation duo of BJ Whitmer and Christian York. More solid tag action, but Matthews and Morrison pick up the win with their Snapshot finisher to advance to next week's match.

WWE Women's Champion Mickie James and Trish Stratus appear in a pre-taped interview where they hype their tag match on RAW against Jazz and Molly Holly. Hmm, hyping a random Divas tag match on another brand... It's almost like I've got something planned... That was an unfortunate rhyme...

And now for the big disappointment portion of our program. Our third qualifier pits Gunnstantino against Teddy Long's clients Chris Kanyon and Mark Henry. Lots of bad blood between these four that results in a colossally underwhelming match. Rico hits his spinning kick on Kanyon to give his team the win.

Fortunately, we rebound into a much better match between the Dudley Boyz and Acid Test. Really good match that makes Test and Trent Acid look like winners for hanging in there with one of the greatest teams of all time. But one 3-D later and the Dudleyz advance. So we know next week it will be the Dudley Boyz vs. Gunnstantino vs. M'n'M vs. the Hardy Boyz for a shot at the A.P.A. the Friday after WrestleMania!

Eric Bischoff is in his office, and he announces another match for WrestleMania 21, this one a First Blood match between Eddie Guerrero and Tajiri!

Speaking of Eddie and Tajiri, Eddie teams with Rey Mysterio next to take on Tajiri and Brock Lesnar! Obviously, this isn't part of the tag series, but it's still a hell of a match that Tajiri wins by hitting the Kick Of Death on Eddie.

Our main event tonight is an eight-man tag match pitting World Champion Rhyno, John Cena, The Rock, and The Hurricane against the three members of the Nova Scotia Cosa Nostra and Randy Orton! Cena and Jericho control most of the action, but once the clusterfuck tag match winds down, we're left with WWE Champion Chris Benoit against the man he took the belt from, and one Rock Bottom later, and the People's Champion gets a measure of revenge!

MARCH 8, 2005 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW

The last episode of RAW before WrestleMania 21 is also the last with the current rosters, as we've learned the 2005 WWE Draft will take place on WWE.com next Monday before RAW goes on the air!

We kick off with a tag team match pitting four Divas who seem to be adrift at the moment going at it as Gail Kim and Lita team up to take on Daffney and Shaniqua. It's a decent match, and Lita gets the crowd excited early in the show with a moonsault to pick up the win.

Up next, Eddie Guerrero and Paul London team up to take on Damien and Tajiri in a battle of WrestleMania matches. Eventually, the heels get a cheap win as Damien rolls up London with a handful of tights. After the match, a brawl breaks out that eventually needs to be broken up by officials.

Eric Bischoff comes out on the ramp to interrupt the festivities. Since the theme of WrestleMania seems to be matches with stipulations that will blow off all of our feuds, let's end this London/Damien nonsense in a match where a handful of tights won't do you any good. No, you see, the only way to win this Sunday is going to be putting your opponent through a table!

Hey, remember when the Natural Born Thrillers were supposed to be the top stable in WWE? Then when they teamed up with the Ministry? Whoops. Anyway, NBM members Sean O'Haire, Chuck Palumbo, and Johnny Stamboli team up next to take on A-Train, Payne, and Tommy Dreamer. Yep. It's midcard mania! O'Haire and Payne carry most of the load of the match, but in the end it's A-Train that takes the Seanton Bomb to give the NBM the win.

In the best Divas match since I took over WWE, Mickie James and Trish Stratus team up to take on Jazz and Molly Holly. Excellent action between the four best workers in the division, but in a shocking turn of events, Trish brutally betrays her friend by slamming her with a chair while the heels have the referee distracted, allowing Molly to hit Mickie with a cross body for the win. After the match, Trish works over Mickie with punches while Jazz and Molly grab a table from ringside. They set it up, then lift Mickie up to Trish... who hits a superbomb from the middle rope!

Trish grabs a ringside microphone. "It wasn't that long ago that I was the dominant Diva in WWE. That I was the focus of the division. But from the moment you set foot in this company, you got all the attention. You took my title. You got to be the first Diva in the Elite. Well, Mickie, I'm tired of it! And I'm taking back what's mine! At WrestleMania 21, I'm taking back my Women's Title!"

Up next, it's a triple threat exhibition match that doesn't really have any bearing on WrestleMania. It's Rob Van Dam (who will face Brock Lesnar at WM21) vs. Randy Orton (who will face The Hurricane) vs. Shelton Benjamin (who isn't booked), and it's as good as you'd imagine. Orton picks up a clean win with the RKO, but all three guys look good here.

John Cena and Brock Lesnar met in last year's WrestleMania main event, a night where Cena won the WWE Title. Eventually, though, Lesnar's Mania opponent Rob Van Dam interjects himself, blasting Lesnar with a chair, allowing Cena to hit the F-U and pick up the win. After the match, RVD sets Lesnar up in the corner and places a chair against his face... and hits a Van Terminator!

The Nova Scotia Cosa Nostra is out next, and they cut a promo on their trio of Mania matches. Primary concern is The Rock, who is facing Christian next!

And - as you could imagine - these two kill it. Eventually, it comes down to Christian using his ring awareness... and an exposed steel turnbuckle... to pick up the cheap win. After the match, Christian takes off running.

The match of the year thus far is tonight's main event, pitting Rey Mysterio and Rhyno against Canadian Violence. These four guys have really turned a corner over the last year, becoming the faces of the industry (along with guys like Christian, Rock, Cena, Lesnar... well, all of the Elite, basically), and they put on a hell of a show. Such a good show, I'll let the game describe it for you. Enjoy!

Rey Mysterio strikes Benoit. Benoit takes a flying neckbreaker from Rey Mysterio. Hooks the leg for a two count. Rey tags out to Rhyno. Rey \ Rhyno whip Benoit into the ropes and hit a double back elbow. Hooks the leg for a two count. Fallaway slam by Rhyno. Benoit blocks the suplex attempt. Doctor Bomb, Rhyno is hurt. There's a two count on the pin. Tag between Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho. Vicious lightning kick by Jericho on Rhyno. Pin : 1 - 2 - 2.9999999. Flying elbow from Chris Jericho. Rhyno comes up with a right hand out of nowhere. Back elbow connects, Jericho staggers backward. Rhyno tags out to Rey Mysterio. Rey Mysterio scores with a back heel kick on Jericho. Jericho tags out to Chris Benoit. Second rope flying axe handle, Benoit goes down. It's BONZO GONZO! Chaos reigns as everyone winds up in the ring brawling! The referee tries to separate Rey and Benoit, buts gets shoved away. The referee turns and calls for the bell. He's had enough, and has called this a double DQ. Rey \ Rhyno and Canadian Violence don't look like they've finished! They continue to brawl in and around the ring, not stopping until a host of referees run down the aisle to break them up. Almost a ***** match...but it was missing something, so it only gets a ****1\2.

MARCH 11, 2005 - SMACKDOWN!

We are just two nights away from WrestleMania 21 (the 20th anniversary of WM), and tonight most of the night's participants will be in action!

But the night kicks off with two brand new WWE superstars, arrogant former Real World cast member The Miz taking on good ol' boy Harlowe. They start to put on a decent match, but it comes to an abrupt ending when Brock Lesnar enters the ring with a steel chair and lays both of them out.

Lesnar grabs a mic and he tears into Rob Van Dam one last time, reiterating his mission statement: I destroyed your past, now it's time to destroy your future!

Chavo Guerrero has been on a mini roll since betraying his uncle Eddie, and tonight he goes up against Funaki. The two high-flying stars put on a shockingly good match, with Chavo going over with a sick brainbuster.

Backstage, the Nova Scotia Cosa Nostra is talking about their respective matches tonight, briefly going into promo mode before returning to their conversation.

High-flying midcarders Air Paris and Brian Kendrick take on Acid Test in our next match. Paris and Kendrick look good until Acid Test manage to isolate Paris and hit him with Dazed And Confused for the win.

Last week, four teams won qualifying matches to earn spots in tonight's match. The winner of this four-team elimination match will face the APA next week for the World Tag Team Titles! Lots of quick tags early, and after several minutes of action, M'n'M is eliminated after D-Von Dudley pins John Morrison. The fans get a thrill watching the Dudley Boyz and the Hardy Boyz renew one of the greatest tag rivalries of all time, and the Hardyz take this one after Jeff pins D-Von. The ensuing battle between the Hardyz and Gunnstantino leads to more exciting tag action that Billy and Rico surprisingly win clean after Gunn puts Jeff away with the Fameasser.

The Rock hits the ring before his big eight-man tag match tonight. He talks about his ongoing struggles with WWE Champion Chris Benoit and how - one way or the other - they're all going to end Sunday night on the biggest stage of them all!

He's joined by The Hurricane, Nova, and Spike Dudley for a match against the all-champions team of Benoit, Intercontinental Champion Dave Batista, and the World Tag Team Champions the APA. Nova and Layfield control most of the match, but Hurricane winds up picking up the surprise win for his team when he pins Batista with the Shining Wizard.

Six members of the Elite are up next in a big tag-team match as Eddie Guerrero, John Cena, and Rey Mysterio team up to take on Christian, Randy Orton, and Tajiri! We get a brief tease for the Eddie/Tajiri Mania match, but primarily it's Cena and Tajiri leading the charge. Eventually, Cena pins Orton with the F-U to pick up the win for his team.

Mickie James is backstage, and she talks up her Women's Title defense against her former best friend Trish Stratus. Mickie just gets better and better each week. It's a little freaky.

Speaking of freaky: How good are Rhyno and Chris Jericho? Tonight's main event is the latest in a string of barn-burners and Rhyno sends the fans home happy one Gore! GORE! GOOOOOORE later.

Just two weeks ago, Damien shocked the world when he won the United States Title from Rey Mysterio. Tonight, he defends the gold against his longtime rival Paul London in a match that will bring their long-running feud to an end. A match that can only end when one man goes through a table!

Rhyno uses a big bag of popcorn to floor Christian. The referee is counting: 7....8....Christian is back up. Rhyno walks into a trip. Christian moves in for the kill. Unprettier! The referee counts to 10, this match is over! I'm knocking off half a star for some blown spots, so that's a ***1\2 rating.

Two World Title matches, two other title matches, and seven gimmick matches later, and WrestleMania 21's main event isn't for any gold. No, this one is personal. Tajiri has done everything in his power to make Eddie Guerrero's life a living hell, including turning Eddie's own flesh and blood against him. Tonight, Eddie's hoping to see some of Tajiri's blood. Whoever draws it first wins the WrestleMania 21 main event!

First Blood Match - Eddie Guerrero vs. Tajiri

Standing leg lariat by Eddie Guerrero on Tajiri. Hard back suplex on Tajiri. Anyone remember when that was Shawn Michaels's finisher? Eddie hits a dropkick on Tajiri. Eddie Guerrero gets taken down out of nowhere. Flying cross body off the top rope! I'll give a 0.8 on the Steamboat scale for that effort. Tajiri only gets knees on a splash. Spinning bulldog in the corner, Tajiri is down. Tornado DDT from Eddie Guerrero, Tajiri got planted. Tajiri drops out the back of a Eddie Guerrero bodyslam attempt. Tajiri scores with a back heel kick on Eddie. Eddie Guerrero fights out of a grapple. Second rope flying axe handle, Tajiri goes down. Eddie picks up the ring bell. Tajiri turns around...and gets smashed over the head with it! That has to be at least a 0. 9 on the Muta scale. The referee sees blood, and this match is over! Eddie Guerrero goes into the crowd, where he celebrates his victory That was good. **** rating.

MARCH 14, 2005 - DRAFT SPECIAL ON WWE.COM

The web special kicks off with WWE Chairman Eric Bischoff on-screen.

"Over the last six months, I have led World Wrestling Entertainment to new heights. I launched the Elite, brought back Starrcade and Superbrawl, and made countless new superstars and champions. And now on the heels of an amazing WrestleMania, I'm proud to announce the next phase in my master plan. Beginning this Wednesday night on USA, I am launching a third brand: WWE Superstars!

Nice, glad to see a third brand get added to the mix, especially since SmackDown seemed to be heavily overcrowded.

Raw's male roster seems a bit small, but that could change over time with new debuts and the like. Plus it's the main women's show anyway.

MARCH 15, 2005 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW

It's the start of a new era as Monday Night RAW kicks off with an entirely new roster and--"I'm all grown up..." The crowd erupts as Stephanie McMahon makes her way to the ring for the first time in months. She grabs a microphone and talks about the web special from earlier today where Eric Bischoff divvied up the rosters. What Eric failed to mention was that this wasn't entirely his idea to add a third brand. The Board of Directors actually put that idea in his head, and who put that idea in the Board's head? Her and her brother, Shane. Now, why would the rightful heirs to the WWE throne want to further dilute their father's company's talent pool? Because - unbeknownst to Bischoff - she and Shane used their considerable wealth to go out and bring in some new blood. Over the next five days on all three brands, the WWE fans are going to meet some new faces and get re-introduced to some old favorites. And that's not all. Tonight, four members of the new RAW roster will go at it in a one-night tournament to crown the first-ever WWE Television Champion!

Speaking of old favorites, RAW gets introduced to us by Dave Prazak and new color commentator... "Macho Man" Randy Savage! They introduce our opening contest, a handicap match pitting the remaining members of La Resistance Sylvan Grenier and Rob Conway and a debuting Nick Dinsmore against ECW alumni Axl Rotten and New Jack! Pretty sloppy match (I know, shocking, right?), but in the end Dinsmore hits Rotten with a German suplex to pick up the win.

The ring fills with bodies after the break, as ten RAW superstars are entered into a battle royal, the winner will earn a shot at the Television Title next week on RAW. It's a mix of old and new faces, and it's every man for himself as soon as the bell sounds. Mark Henry is the first victim after he's taken out by a returning Rick Steiner. The debuting Sonny Siaki eliminates Tommy Dreamer next, then Steiner gets taken out by the returning Val Venis. Haas eliminates Fred Williams, then takes out his mentor the Undertaker, followed by a debuting Simon Diamond. Haas is on a roll, and we're down to our final four! Venis is out next, courtesy of Test, while Siaki eliminates Haas. It's down to Siaki and Test, and in the end, it's the exciting newcomer hitting his Siakolypse finisher, then dumping Test to the floor for the win.

A quartet of WWE debuts are next as WCW alumni Buff Bagwell and Disco Inferno team up to take on Erik Watts and Taiyo Kea. Another underwhelming match that ends with Kea hitting Bagwell with a Kobayashi DDT for the win.

Mickie James lost the Women's Title in shocking fashion last night to Trish Stratus with help from Chris Jericho. Tonight, it's ten-diva tag action as Mickie looks for revenge. Trish brings Daffney, Jazz, Molly Holly, and Shaniqua with her while Mickie counters with Gail Kim, Lita, Victoria, and the debuting Trinity. Frequent tags by both teams gets all ten Divas an opportunity to shine, but Trish does wind up getting her revenge with a tornado DDT on Trish.

The Television Title Tournament kicks off next in a WrestleMania rematch as Rob Van Dam takes on Brock Lesnar. Their feud may be over, but the opportunity for the Television Title means they're not going to take it easy on each other. Solid match, definitely the best of the night so far, and Brock picks up the win with the F-5 to advance to tonight's main event!

"Huka Blues" hits the speakers, and ECW legend Sabu makes his way to the ring, steel chair in hand. What damage is the sadistic Sabu going to inflict tonight? The lighting in the arena turns to gold as Sabu's opponent in our other tournament semifinal is introduced. The crowd erupts as the bizarre Goldust comes to the ring, his beautiful valet Marlena at his side. Sabu goes too far throughout the match, finally getting himself disqualified for using brass knuckles. Goldust advances, but Sabu has completely lost his mind, turning the knuckles against the referee. The homicidal, suicidal, genocidal, death-defying maniac looks like he's ready to do more damage, but the locker room empties to pry him out of the ring, kicking and yelling.

"If you smeeeeeeeell..." The crowd erupts as the new WWE Champion The Rock makes his way to the ring, championship in tow. "The Rock looks around the RAW locker room now, and there's a whole lot of new faces. And there's a whole lot of old ones. The Rock would like to thank the McMahons for bringing in all this new blood because, quite frankly, there's only so many times you can beat up on the same dozen guys. Eric Bischoff's Elite was a good idea... for a little bit. But like everything else Bischoff's ever done, it went on too long, and it got repetitive. So now it's time - once again - for Stephanie and Shane to pick up the pieces and change the game. Well, The Rock is, was, and always will be a fighting champion. So The Rock has three words for all these new challengers: 'Just bring it!'"

The Rock remains in the ring awaiting tonight's non-title opponent. A record scratch plays "Come on, you're lookin' at the real deal now!" A smile creeps across the champ's face as his former Nation of Domination partner D'Lo Brown makes his way to the ring with Theodore Long. The bell sounds and D'Lo slaps Rock across the face showing that there is no friendship here anymore. The two engage in a heck of a brawl, and Rock drops into a crouch to prepare for the Rock Bottom, but suddenly a hand drags him out of the ring. The ref has no choice but to call for the bell as Sabu has returned to wreak more havoc! Sabu uses his chair from earlier to blast Rock in the face, then two more shots across his back. He sets Rock up in the middle of the ring, then hits a drop toehold across the chair. The locker room empties again, but this time Sabu heads for the hills, leaving a bloodied Rock laid out!

The A.P.A. make their way out to the ring next with the World Tag Team Titles and their apparent new manager Theodore Long. Friday night on SmackDown!, Gunnstantino won a #1 contender's match to earn a shot at the gold. But Billy Gunn and Rico Constantino wound up on separate brands, so Gunn needs a new partner for tonight's shot. Layfield and Simmons warm up, and their smug expressions turn to anger when their opponents' music hits. "Oh, you didn't know?!?" The crowd goes absolutely apeshit for the introduction of the New Age Outlaws! Another disappointing match from the new roster as everyone is antsy to live up to the hype. Eventually, the champs walk away, resulting in a disqualification victory for NAO. After the match, both teams continue to brawl, all around ringside, then to the back.

And now for our main event. Goldust and Brock Lesnar each won a match earlier tonight to qualify for this match for the brand-new WWE Television Title. It's the match of the night, and brings some hope to the new RAW roster that there are some definitely talented workers here. Brock picks up the clean win with the F-5 to win the championship as RAW goes off the air.

MARCH 17, 2005 - SUPERSTARS

The debut of Superstars is the first dud show of 2005 for World Wrestling Entertainment. Not a great sign for the fledgling brand. But that doesn't mean there aren't some mark-out moments.

We open things up with an eight-man tag match featuring a mix of old and new with Colt Cabana, Jay Briscoe, Teddy Hart, and Zach Gowan teaming up to take on Carlito, Johnny Jeter, and newcomers Jimmy Rave and Julio Dinero. Gowan and Jeter control most of the match for their respective teams, but in the end it's Dinero making his debut a successful one by pinning Briscoe following the Theater Of Dreams.

Payne and Sean O'Haire were on opposite sides of a brief feud on RAW, and tonight they each bring in a debuting tag team partner. O'Haire reunites with his former Natural Born Thrillers teammate Mike Sanders to take on Payne and Paul Heyman's new client "The Franchise" Shane Douglas! Eventually Payne succumbs to the Seanton Bomb to give the Thrillers the win. After the match, Douglas gets in Payne's face, blaming him for the loss.

It's a high-flying six-man tag match next as Brian Kendrick and Funaki team with newcomer Frankie Kazarian to take on the New Generation stable of BJ Whitmer, Christian York, and Trent Acid. Funaki and Acid spend most of the match on the sidelines, letting their teammates do the work. The match ends as it began with Kazarian and Whitmer facing off. Kazarian hits the Wave Of The Future for the win in his debut.

It's a pair of debuts next as Norman Smiley takes on Konnan, a match that Konnan asked for. You would think that if he asked for the match, it wouldn't suck. You'd be wrong. Eventually, Konnan hits the 187 for the win. After the match, Konnan continues his abuse, leaving Smiley laid out with stomps and kicks.

"Ladies and gentlemen... HUUUUUUUUULK HOOOOOOOGAAAAAAAN!!!!!" The crowd erupts as "Real American" hits the speakers and the Immortal One makes his way to the ring. He does his usual routine of poses and false modesty before grabbing a microphone. "That sounds great, dudes! Thank you." More wild cheering. "But you know something, this is Superstars. This is the first night of a new brand, a brand that promises all kinds of excitement. And brother, let me tell you about excitement. If any of you dudes have been following what's been going on outside of WWE, you've been hearing about a guy called AJ Styles. This is a guy who can fly, who can wrestle, who can brawl... And Superstars is proud to have him and his X Division Title! The X Division... it's not about weight limits. It's about no limits. And Superstars is gonna be the only place you can see these guys do what the Hulkster never could, brother! Tonight, AJ's gonna team with John Cena to take on Canadian Violence, and you're all gonna see just what I'm talkin' about. So whatcha gonna do, Benoit and Jericho, when the Phenomenal One, the X Division, and all these little Hulkamaniacs run wild on you?!?"

Our first of two title matches is up next as Intercontinental Champion Dave Batista defends the belt against the massive A-Train. Not a bad match, but the dud show continues. Batista retains successfully with the Figure-Four Leglock.

Three superstars who could very well define the X Division are up next in a triple threat match. It's Paul London versus Rico Constantino versus ECW alumnus Kid Kash! Exciting high-flying match that ends with London hitting London Calling on Kash for the win.

Our second title match of the evening features a debuting tag team. James Storm and Chris Harris, America's Most Wanted, are the reigning NWA Tag Team Champions, and they bring their titles with them to Superstars! They defend them tonight in a triple threat against Chuck Palumbo and Johnny Stamboli and a pair of WWE veterans teaming for the first time - Akio and William Regal (working as The Untouchables, an inside joke on the fact that they're both married to previously unknown daughters of the McMahon family and, thus, unsackable). Decent action that helps enhance the image of the titles, but AMW retain as Harris hits Akio with the Catatonic.

The Hurricane is out next for a match against Ron "The Truth" Killings, who briefly worked for WWE in the mid-'90s as K-Kwik. Killings' attitude has changed, though, as he resorts to several dirty tactics throughout the match. Eventually, he hits his True Conviction finisher to pick up the win.

Our main event could have been a great one if it wasn't a dud show. 100% crowd response and a 90% match quality for Cena and Styles against Canadian Violence, but only an 86 overall because of the dud. Styles looks like a million bucks in his WWE debut, but interference from the World Champion Christian results him getting locked in the Crippler Crossface, a move he has no choice but to tap out to. After the match, Christian goes to hit Styles with the Unprettier, but the lights go out in the arena. Suddenly, hard rock music starts blaring and strobe lights begin to fill the arena. When the lights finally come back up, Christian has released Styles, but has no idea that behind him is... STING!!! The icon blasts Christian with his trademark baseball bat before turning it on the other members of the Nova Scotia Cosa Nostra.

Christian brought the World Title to the ring with him, and Sting picks it up. He holds it above his head as he stands over the fallen champion, clearly sending the message that Sting has come to Superstars for that very championship. The first episode of Superstars fades to black with the silent assassin laying the championship across Christian's body and walking away.

At a RAW house show on Thursday night, two top stars were hit by the injury bug:

Goldust is expected to be out until May with a tricep strain.
Women's Champion Trish Stratus will be out until December after tearing her calf.

The loss of Goldust will hurt the expected Goldust/Lesnar feud over the TV Title, but the loss of Stratus absolutely destroys what was expected to be one of the biggest Divas feuds of all-time against Mickie James. What will WWE do to cover both of these losses on RAW Monday night?

So I decided to start something completely new. Basically took the roster lists from Raw, Smackdown, FCW, TNA, RoH, All Japan, New Japan and AAA and decided to take the first 40 names that come out of a randomizer as my roster. Below are the first 40 names that came out.

1.Michael McGillicutty
2.Aero Star
3.Kurt Angle
4.Kevin Nash
5.Dolph Ziggler
6.Heath Slater
7.Jack Swagger
8.Samoa Joe
9.Giant Bernard

16.Sheamus
17.Jesse Neal
18.Robbie E
19.Orlando Jordan
20.Bryan Danielson

35.Jay Lethal
36.Damien Sandow
37.Mitsuhide Hirasawa
38.Jimmy Yang
39.El Generico
40.Brett DiBiase

Okay, so the first step is to learn about some of the guys I don't know much about. THen I'll come up with a rough list of Main Event/Upper/Mid/Lower/Openers. Then I will come up with a name, a backstory and sort out the roster in EWR.

I'm once again tempted to jump into this and start yet another new current roster game to build up to Mania. I just worry that I'll get bored immediately and will scrap it yet again.

Maybe I'll skip the Mania build - and just start from the day of Mania or something. I dunno.

I was bored so I decided to take the "leaked" WM card that Meltzer gave out and book it in EWR. I booked the show as though I were going to continue playing past this (which I might actually do, not sure yet).

WrestleMania XXVII
WWE United States Title: Daniel Bryan def. King Sheamus. Bryan faced his toughest competition to date but was able to overcome the size differential and score the win with a LeBell Lock, continuing his long title reign. **, 75% Overall

Big Show, Christian, Kane, and Kofi Kingston def. The Corre (Wade Barrett, Ezekiel Jackson, Justin Gabriel, and Heath Slater). Show finally got retribution after months of frustration at the hands of The Corre. During the inevitable pier six brawl, Show knocked Barrett out cold with a right hand for the win. *3/4, 76% Overall

“Dashing” Cody Rhodes def. Rey Mysterio. Rhodes shocked the world by decidedly pinning the former champion with the Cross Rhodes. Cody tried to remove Rey’s mask after but Rey reversed and flung him into the ropes and hit a 619. *1/4, 77% Overall. Wow, guess those guys really didn’t click.

Randy Orton def. CM Punk. During the match, Orton neutralized Punk’s ringside cohort Mason Ryan. After a ref bump, Punk signaled in his backup plan – the returning Skip Sheffield! However, Sheffield shocked the world by laying out Punk with a massive lariat. Punk would then stumble up into an RKO for the Orton win. **3/4, 88% Overall

World Heavyweight Title: Alberto Del Rio def. Edge. Ricardo Rodriguez made a nuisance of himself at ringside. The distractions eventually got the best of Edge as Del Rio caught him off guard and locked in the Cross Arm Breaker for the win and the title, making him the first Rumble winner since 2007 to win the title at Mania. ***, 85% Overall

Special Ref – Stone Cold Steve Austin: Jerry “The King” Lawler def. Michael Cole. Swagger kept trying to interfere and took a Stunner for his troubles as Cole gets the shit beaten out of him for a few minutes before King finishes him off with a Piledriver. -*, 68% Overall. 82% Crowd Reaction but only 36% Match Quality (still better than I thought it would be).

WWE Title, Special Enforcer – The Rock: The Miz def. John Cena. After several nearfalls, Miz eventually tried to cheat, drawing the ire of The Rock. Rock landed some punches before hitting a Spinebuster and setting up for a People’s Elbow. Cena stopped him midway and shoved Rock, insisting he wants to go it alone. Rock hits Cena with a Rock Bottom as Miz crawls on top and retains the belt. *3/4, 84% Overall solely due to crowd reaction. These guys do not click at all.

Dolph Ziggler and Lay-Cool def. John Morrison, Kelly Kelly, and Trish Stratus. They say that WrestleMania is the best time of the year to make an impact. That’s exactly what happened as just when Trish appeared to have Michelle beat, a mammoth woman known throughout the world as Kong hits the ring and plants Trish with a sitout powerbomb as the referee was distracted. Michelle grabs the win for her team as Dolph and Vickie Guerrero are reinstated to SmackDown. 3/4*, 71% Overall

The Undertaker def. Triple H. For the 19th time in a row, Undertaker is victorious at WrestleMania. These two legends put on a clinic that captivated the audience in Atlanta and around the world. After more false finishes than you can count, Undertaker keeps the streak for another year following a massive Tombstone Piledriver. ****, 91% Overall

Based loosely on <a HREF="http://tpww.net/forums/showthread.php?t=111361">this</a> idea, I'm going to start a new TNA game tonight starting with Sunday's Victory Road card. Already sort of plotted out where I want to go with it, just need to actually have EWR (hard to play on my phone at work)

loopydate

03-15-2011, 01:42 PM

Never mind. After the travesty that was Victory Road, I don't want to touch TNA right now. I know that's silly, but I really don't feel like trying to make something good out of that shit.

Basic idea was we were going to get a "TNA finish" to the Sting/Hardy match that would end in either a double-DQ or a no contest or something. Bischoff would vacate the title the next week on <s>Thunder</s>Impact which would kick off a month-long tournament for the title that would culminate at Lockdown.

Some stories I had planned:

* AJ Styles would win the championship, meaning that Fortune would hold all the gold, setting up an epic feud with Immortal.
* Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy (the two most Over guys on the roster) would have a long-running feud trying to become the #1 contender for AJ's belt.
* Ink Inc. would have turned heel against Beer Money after their VR match, then go their separate ways. Moore would join his friends the Hardyz in Immortal while Neal would re-align with his trainer Bully Ray.
* Speaking of Ray, he'd have a nice long run through the tournament, beating a couple of former World Champions via questionable tactics to try to elevate him into the top tier.

So, instead of going with my TNA idea I decided instead to start an entirely new promotion. I took the 45 most Over active wrestlers who didn't have either an open or written contract and signed them. Then I put them all in Development and called up the ones who were ready. I filled in with the top unsigned Staff members and set up weekly PPVs until I can grow the promotion. So, now I am proud to introduce:

TOP PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING WARRIORS (TPWW)
Writer - Ed Schmitt
Producer - John Filippelli
Announcers - Jesse "The Body" Ventura and Dave Meltzer
Referees - John Finegan, Nick Patrick, and Bakery Yagi
Medical - James Andrews and Hae-Dong Jho
Road Agents - Jerry Jarrett, Tully Blanchard, and Tim White
Trainers - Mikey Monroe, Brad Rheingans, and Eddie Sharkey

The roster will be revealed on the first episode of The Forum where a month-long double-elimination tournament to crown the first TPWW King Of The Forum champion!

4/2 - THE FORUM

Our introduction to TPWW is the appearance of the legendary Road Warrior Animal who comes out to a big pop. One-half of the greatest tag team of all-time awaits the arrival of his opponent in our first King Of The Forum tournament match, only to find out that it's the monstrous Mike Knox! These two bruisers put on a brawl that never quite gets off the ground. Knox picks up the clean win with the Knox Out, then pounds on Animal for a few minutes afterward to hammer hope the point that Knox is going to be someone to watch in TPWW!

Mexican legend El Hijo Del Santo (who seems to wind up in my EWR games a lot, now that I think about it) is out for our second tournament match, and his opponent is the monstrous former WWF and WCW World Champion Sid Vicious! The crowd chants "You're the shit! You're the shit!" as the master and ruler of the world jumps out to an early start. Santo flies for a bit, but Sid's power advantage comes back to bite him, and he winds up eating a powerbomb and Sid advances while Santo joins Animal in the elimination bracket!

Time for our first real "indy garbage style" match as Sabu faces Shaggy 2 Dope in our third tournament match. Sabu gets the clean win with a triple jump moonsault after a pretty sloppy match. Afterwards, Shaggy escapes through the crowd to avoid a further beating.

ECW alumnus Shane Douglas - the man who put the "extreme" in Extreme Championship Wrestling - takes on one of the most popular stars of the Attitude Era in our next contest as he faces the fun-loving giant Fatu. Another disappointing match results in Douglas eating a Stink Face and Fatu picking up the win. After the match, Fatu dances for the crowd.

While Shaggy 2 Dope got X-Pac Heat earlier, up next we've got the originator of it, Sean Waltman. His opponent is former NFL player, TNA superstar, and WWECW flash in the pan Monty Brown. Can the PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOON-suh kill Waltman's buzz? Waltman's educated feet wind up setting him up for the Buzzkill and the former 1-2-3 Kid gets the 1-2-3.

In our second Attitude-vs-ECW contest, Sean Morley faces the enigmatic Raven! This gets Match Of The Night honors for a well-thought-out contest between two veterans. Morley eventually feels the Raven Effect to drop into the elimination bracket while Raven picks up his first win in TPWW.

Two recent WWE cast-offs are showcased in our next tournament match as NXT season 2 winner Low Ki takes on Shad Gaspard. Ki utilizes his speed and stiff martial arts strikes while Shad matches with overpowering strength. Ki eventually hits a brutal Warrior's Way to win the match, but Shad gets a measure of revenge, pummeling Ki and throwing him to ringside afterwards.

In the first TPWW main event, fan favorite Stevie Richards takes on everyone's favorite demon-battler Scott Hall! Stevie does a good job of making Hall look good, even jobbing to the Outsider's Edge to close out the show.

4/9 - THE FORUM

The second episode of TPWW's The Forum kicks off (no pun intended) with the World Warrior Low Ki taking on the massive Sid Vicious. Not a bad match, but Sid just doesn't really have his old magic and winds up falling victim to the Warrior's Way.

Our first elimination match is up next as Meltzer and Ventura talk about how Shane Douglas has been eliminated due to his "personal demons," advancing Stevie Richards through tonight's scheduled match. Our second elimination is Shaggy 2 Dope who winds up tapping out to a Fujiwara armbar from the Alpha Male Monty Brown. Brown lives to fight again next week!

One major fan favorite will be eliminated in our next contest as Road Warrior Animal takes on Sean Morley. Decent match that ends with Morely catching Animal in the Venus Fly Trap for a submission victory to eliminate Animal.

Two of TPWW's most hated heels are out next in a second round match as the monstrous Mike Knox takes on the evil mastermind Raven! Excellent match that doesn't get much crowd reaction (since EWR doesn't like heel-heel matches). Raven hits the Raven Effect to make it to the third round while Knox drops into the elimination bracket. While Raven poses, Knox shoves the referee aside, then lays Raven out with the Knox Out.

Our fourth elimination match is up next as El Hijo Del Santo takes on Shad Gaspard. Santo looks like a star on the rise, but it's the giant Shad who picks up the clean pinfall victory.

Scott Hall and Sean Waltman's music hits and the former Kliq/nWo/The Band partners come to the ring together. They cut a brief promo about how - just like everywhere else they've been - they're taking over TPWW. They have matches with Fatu and Sabu tonight, and Hall cracks jokes about how he used to beat up the Headshrinkers for fun. Waltman corrects him that Samu was the Headshrinker. Sabu is the guy that taped up his own bicep after he ripped it open on barbed wire. Hall's response - "Whatever."

Fatu dances to the ring for his match with Hall, and it's a better match than you'd think Hall could put on at this stage. Fatu looks like he's about to put Hall away, but Waltman's interference allows Hall to hit an Outsider's Edge for the win. After the match, they put the boots to Fatu until Sabu hits the ring with a chair to drive them off.

Tonight's main event is our match of the night as Sabu and Waltman go head-to-head once the officials clear the ring from the previous brawl. Lots of high-flying, and Sabu looks four times better than he did last week against Shaggy 2 Dope. Amazing what can happen when you're against someone who can work. Sabu picks up the clean win with a Triple Jump Moonsault. After the match, the brawl continues to ringside, then up into the crowd. Fade to black as they continue brawling out of the arena.

So, instead of going with my TNA idea I decided instead to start an entirely new promotion. I took the 45 most Over active wrestlers who didn't have either an open or written contract and signed them. Then I put them all in Development and called up the ones who were ready.

Awesome idea and loving your write ups. Quite similar to the idea that I had where I randomised the WWE/RoH/TNA/New Japan/AAA rosters and took the first 40 guys. Your execution much better than mine though.

I actually started this yesterday :) and will write stuff up.

I had an idea to randomize the remaining roster and take the first five as guys who could come in over the space of a year (i.e. influx of new talent

4/16 - THE FORUM

The first dud show in TPWW history kicks off with an elimination match between fan favorites Fatu and Stevie Richards. Disappointing match between the two that ends with Fatu hitting the Kishi Driver for the win. Afterwards, Fatu and Richards dance a bit for the crowd.

Our next elimination match pits Sean Morley against the villainous Mike Knox. Better match than its predecessor, and Knox picks up another clean win with the Knox Out.

A pair of monstrous heels are out in our third of six elimination matches as "Psycho" Sid Vicious takes on Shad Gaspard. Sid continues to help make new stars by losing clean to Shad in this match.

Seven of the sixteen original participants in the King Of The Forum tournament have been eliminated, and after this match, the field will have been cut in half. It's the "Alpha Male" Monty Brown against the original degenerate Sean Waltman. Waltman looks to have the match in hand when his running buddy Scott Hall comes to the ring. The plan backfires, though, as Hall misses Brown and takes out Waltman, allowing Brown to hit the PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOUN-suh for the win.

Both Fatu and Shad Gaspard avoided elimination earlier tonight against Stevie Richards and Sid Vicious, respectively. Now they must face each other in another elimination match! Both men's earlier contests took a toll on them, as both showed signs of fatigue, but the monstrous Fatu picks up the clean win to survive.

Our tenth elimination match is up next as Monty Brown and Mike Knox hit the ring for their second matches of the night. Knox continues to look like the most dominant force in TPWW, picking up yet another win with the Knox Out.

Low Ki and Scott Hall are up next in their third tournament matches, both looking to give the other his first loss. Good match that gets a good reaction from the crowd, and the exciting Ki picks up the big win with the Tidal Wave to advance to the finals of the winners' bracket!

We now know that Low Ki has a date in two weeks as one of three men with a shot at being the first TPWW King Of The Forum. His opponent in his first match that night will be determined in tonight's main event as ECW alumni Sabu and Raven go one-on-one! This one is possibly the best TPWW match thus far, which makes the fact that it's a dud show that much more disappointing. Raven gets a clean win with the Raven Effect, but Sabu attacks after the bell sending him to the floor to stand tall.

4/23 - THE FORUM

Next week, Top Professional Wrestling Warriors will crown its first King Of The Forum champion. We also know that the rest of that huge card will be made up of "ranking" matches to determine the order of contention for the winner's title. We know that Low Ki and Raven will battle next week and tonight three of the other four possible champions will fall in a series of elimination matches!

But first, Stevie Richards and Sid Vicious are looking to bounce back from being eliminated last week. Early in the match, the ref takes a bump on a Sid clothesline, but he recovers. However, later in the match, Stevie charges into the corner at Sid, only to have the big man again put the ref in harm's way, and that's all she wrote for the Psycho One. He calls for the bell, giving Stevie the win. After the bell, Sid powerbombs the official and stalks off.

Two more men who have already been eliminated from the tournament go toe-to-toe in our second contest - the Battle of the Seans as Morley faces Waltman. Solid technical match between the two veterans. Waltman picks up the win with the Buzzkill after a big superkick.

Low Ki has a big tune-up match next against Shad Gaspard. The monstrous Shad works well as a base for Ki's martial arts and aerial wizardry, and they put on a great show. Ki gets the big win with the Warrior's Way, but Shad gets a measure of revenge, hitting Ki with his finisher after the match.

Our first of three elimination matches is next as Fatu takes on Scott Hall in another battle of veterans. Fatu picks up the win with the Kishi Driver, but gets assaulted after the bell by Hall's partner Sean Waltman. Hall and Waltman are definitely showing that - title or no title - they're going to make an impact in TPWW!

Our second elimination match pits the homicidal, suicidal, genocidal, death-defying maniac Sabu against the cold, calculating, maniacal, evil genius Mike Knox! As one would expect, this match is extremely physical with lots of huge bumps. Knox winds up with the clean win via the Knox Out, again proving that he's one to watch. Knox will be facing Fatu in our main event tonight - the winner has a shot at being King Of The Forum next week!

Raven is out next for his tune-up match, but first he has some words for his opponent next week, Low Ki. Pretty typical Raven promo with lots of cryptic references and angst. He welcomes Ki to the Terrordome and guarantees a title victory next week. Quoth the Raven - nevermore!

Monty Brown is out as Raven's warm-up opponent, and he puts up a hell of a fight. Eventually, though, Brown attempts to get Raven up for a vertical suplex only to have it reversed into the Raven Effect for the loss.

Our main event tonight is the 12th elimination match of the tournament, and the winner will join Raven and Low Ki as possible King Of The Forum next week! Fatu and Mike Knox both survived matches earlier, but only one will survive this match! Fatu hits a big forearm, knocking Knox into the corner. He prepares for a Stinkface, but the official tries to back him off. Knox takes the opportunity to produce a pair of brass knuckles from his tights and lay out Fatu, but the referee sees it and disqualifies him! Knox can't believe he cost himself a shot at the title!

4/30 THE FORUM

It's the biggest night in the brief history of Top Professional Wrestling Warriors as we crown the first King Of The Forum champion! Plus, we will know how the top fifteen contenders for the gold will rank, meaning every match tonight is crucial in the championship standings!

We kick things off with a three-way dance between three of the first four men out of the KotF tournament (Shane Douglas is still in rehab, otherwise this would be a four-corners match). It's El Hijo Del Santo vs. Road Warrior Animal vs. Shaggy 2 Dope. Shaggy is out pretty quickly after taking a flying knee from Santo, leaving Santo and Animal to go one-on-one. Big match between two international icons that Santo wins with his La De A Caballo submission hold.

Two men who have to be disappointed in their runs through the KotF are Sean Morley and Sid Vicious. Two holdovers from the wrestling industry's '90s peak go toe-to-toe for a spot in the top ten contenders. Big Sid gets the win with a powerbomb, then lays into Morley with boots after the bell sounds, sending a message to whoever walks out of tonight with the gold!

Stevie Richards and Sean Waltman have consistently put on the best matches in TPWW, and tonight they go at it in another exciting contest. Two men with educated feet put on a clinic until Waltman catches Richards unaware with the Buzzkill for the win.

Two men who have made names for themselves in TPWW thus far are Monty Brown and Shad Gaspard. These two giant brawlers battle it out in our next match. Brown hits the ropes to prepare for the Pounce, but eats a big Brooklyn Boot, and Shad gets the win.

Sabu and Scott Hall were both eliminated from title contention last week, so both are looking to bounce back and become the #4 contender for the KotF gold. These two grizzled veterans definitely bring their A game for this match that sees Sabu pick up the clean win with a triple jump moonsault.

Low Ki and Raven have torn through the first four weeks of TPWW's existence. Tonight, the winner goes on to the finals of the King Of The Forum title tournament. The loser must defeat Fatu to earn a rematch in the main event! Another great match, and these two definitely look like they're ready to headline TPWW shows for years to come. Ki looks like he's about to pick up a big win when Scott Hall makes a surprise appearance, laying him out with the Outsider's Edge behind the referee's back. Raven covers the unconscious Ki for the win, then Raven and Hall put the boots to Ki afterwards.

A promo plays for next week's show featuring a celebration ceremony for the first King Of The Forum champion as well as five TPWW debuts. When we come back to the arena, officials have managed to revive Low Ki and are trying to convince him to forfeit his match with Fatu, but the World Warrior refuses. Fatu comes out for the match, but Ki just doesn't have his usual magic in him, and he eats a Kishi Driver. After the match, Fatu and Ki shake hands showing that there was nothing personal to it.

However, Fatu's victory celebration is cut short as Raven blindsides him and orders the referee to ring the bell to start their championship match! Raven starts off with strikes then a pair of big neckbreakers. Fatu fights back with a hip toss and a charge in the corner. Piledriver gets two, then Raven catches Fatu with a DDT, but doesn't have enough in him to get more than two. Raven hits a tornado punch for two more and is looking frustrated. He tries a legdrop but misses. Fatu hits a strike, but eats a flying shoulder tackle. While the ref checks on Raven, Sean Waltman blindsides Fatu with a chair, allowing Raven to hit the Raven Effect and pick up the win! The announcers hype Raven as the new King Of The Forum while Raven and Waltman stomp the hell out of Fatu as we fade to black.

5/7 THE FORUM

The pre-show dark match saw a debuting Doug Basham beat Shaggy 2 Dope via submission with the Sharpshooter.

The actual show opens with "Come Out And Play" hitting the speakers, and the first King of the Forum champion Raven coming to the ring with his title. He poses for a while, then motions to the back. From backstage come Scott Hall and Sean Waltman, the two men who helped him win the title last week. They're followed by the monstrous Sid Vicious and Scott Norton, and finally Buff Bagwell. Raven grabs a microphone from the timekeeper.

"I guaranteed that I would be your King of the Forum. And I make good on my guarantees. I saw that there was a small chance that either Low Ki or Fatu could catch me off-guard and walk out with this championship, so I went out and got help. I found Hall and Waltman, two men who have changed every company they've ever worked for. They wanted to make an impact in TPWW, and what better way than to join me? So the first two pieces were in place. My next stop was Japan, where I found a man who is more feared there than Godzilla and Mothra combined. Scott Norton is one of the last remaining tough guys in professional wrestling and when I told him of my plan, the first thing he asked me was 'Do I get to hurt people?' Yes, Scott. Yes, you do. He asked me for one more thing. 'Raven, I want you to bring Marcus. He balances me out. I'm afraid of what I might do to the TPWW locker room without a compass.' And I agreed. So along comes Buff Bagwell. Which left me with one more spot to fill. And look at this guy. Sid Vicious. World Champion everywhere he's gone. The master, the ruler of the world. Given the choice between the two, wouldn't you want him with you rather than against you? So before you stands the most dominant force in TPWW. This is the Order Of Raven. And tonight, you'll see what we're capable of. I'm going to destroy Sean Morley tonight, and you'll see the rest of my boys take apart the rest of the roster. Quoth the Raven... Nevermore!"

The Order clears the ring, except for Sid, who is in action in our first televised match against the #1 contender for Raven's title Fatu. They have a really good brawl, and Sid hits a spinning neckbreaker to win it with his feet on the ropes for extra leverage. After the bell, the two continue brawling, and this looks like the beginning of a feud!

Former MMA star (and 3 Count bodyguard) Tank Abbott is out next for his debut mach against Stevie Richards. Stevie looks great again, carrying Tank to a good match, but Tank has to stoop to using brass knuckles. The ref sees it (as Tank isn't exactly stealthy), and disqualifies Abbott.

Two bruisers who have been making a name for themselves in TPWW are Monty Brown and Mike Knox, so naturally they both leap at the chance to do so at the other's expense. Really good brawl that ends with Knox hitting the Knox Out for the win.

Two of the top five contenders for the King of the Forum title Low Ki and Sabu team up in our next match to face the debuting Vicious & Delicious - Scott Norton and Buff Bagwell from the Order Of Raven. This is the best match in TPWW history up to this point, with V&D working over Ki early until he can hot-tag Sabu. Sabu uses his high-flying offense for a while, but eventually the power of "Flash" Norton is too much, finally hitting Ki with a Jackhammer for the victory.

The non-title match between Raven and Sean Morley isn't quite as good as its predecessor, but the crowd is very much into these guys, meaning this is probably not the last we'll see of them against each other. Raven eventually gets the clean win to continue putting him over with the Raven Effect. Can anyone unseat Raven?

Japanese superstar Satoru Sayama makes his debut in our next contest, taking on Shad Gaspard, who has been a man on a mission since the first episode of The Forum. Shad again looks like a million bucks, but he winds up falling victim to Sayama's diving headbutt finisher, giving the import a win in his debut. After the match, Shad hits his finisher on him to regain some heat.

Tonight's main event is a tag-team encounter featuring Sean Waltman and Scott Hall from the Order Of Raven against El Hijo Del Santo and one of the greatest tag-team wrestlers of all time, Road Warrior Animal! The four veterans put on a very old-school match that Hall eventually wins by hitting the Outsider's Edge on Animal. After the match, Santo and Animal attack them, and they brawl into the crowd as we fade to black.

5/14 THE FORUM

Last week, Doug Basham won the dark match. Tonight, he makes his on-screen debut beating former MMA star Tank Abbott. Abbott's strength plays a big factor, but eventually Basham catches him a surprise powerslam to set up for a sharpshooter and the win.

Mike Knox and Stevie Richards have both been putting on exciting performances since the debut of TPWW, but tonight is their first time going one-on-one. Once again, they put on a tremendous show, but Knox (the #1 contender for King Of The Forum) picks up another big win with the Knox Out.

After the match, "Come Out And Play" hits and Raven heads to the ring with the Order Of Raven (and, of course, his King Of The Forum title). Raven cuts right to the chase. "Mike, you and I have a lot in common. And the thought occurred to me that having another cerebral monster in the Order would be a recipe for an insurrection. But then I realized that we could rule this place with our combined intellect. I'm making you an offer that it would behoove you to take. Join the Order and be the dominant force I know you can be." Knox grabs a microphone and pauses for a moment. He then starts to chuckle, which quickly turns into a full-blown laugh. He steps back and continues to laugh at Raven, whose initial bemusement quickly turns to anger. Knox stops for a moment, but then laughs again, which leads to Raven siccing the Order on him, and the six of them leave the Mad Scientist Of Wrestling laying.

Back from a promo video, Satoru Sayama and Shaggy 2 Dope are in the ring. It's a pretty quick match with Sayama getting a clean win with his diving headbutt finisher.

A huge ten-man tag match is next as the Order Of Raven (Scott Hall, Sean Waltman, Sid Vicious, and the team of Vicious & Delicious) take on their opponents from last week - El Hijo Del Santo, Fatu, Low Ki, Road Warrior Animal, and Sabu. Norton carries the bulk of the match, showcasing his brutal offense against all five babyfaces. In the end, though, the Order isolates Animal and Hall hits him with the Outsider's Edge for the win.

The lights in the arena go out and a countdown appears on the video screen. The crowd goes apeshit, because... well... what else could a countdown mean? When the countdown hits zero, "Evenflow" hits the PA and the Moderator of TPWW reveals himself to be... CHRIS FUCKING JERICHO! "So, The Order Of Raven, huh? This is what's supposed to be 'revolutionizing the industry?' Let's look in the ring, shall we? Is that... Scott Hall? The guy who had to get a custom low-rider wagon built so when he falls off again he doesn't get hurt? And Sean Waltman? The guy who might as well be an air conditioner for the way he sucks the heat out of the arena? Buff Bagwell? 'The Stuff,' huh? Not really sure what 'The Stuff' is, but it's clearly not anything that any fan has ever had any sort of reaction to. And his giant butt-buddy Scott Norton? Who's been thrilling Japan with the sort of bland dry stiff wrestling he bored the deep south with throughout the 1990s? How about Sid Vicious? I mean, the only way anybody ever gave a crap about him was when he literally gave a crap during the biggest match of his career! Look, I don't want to disparage the world-class talent we've got in the ring. And as soon as some shows up, I'll hold my tongue. Look, 'Order,' I was brought in as the Moderator of TPWW to provide order. And since this is my Forum, you'll play by my rules! Now, I'm not going to come out here and start laying down the law. I'm perfectly content to just lay back and watch the show. But if it turns out that all this Order is is beat-downs on anybody who doesn't follow Raven? We're going to have a problem. TPWW is about new beginnings. And this is the start of the Age Of Jericho. And TPWW will never eeeeeeeeeeeever be the same a-gain!"

Back to the action, it's Sean Morley and Shad Gaspard one-on-one. Shad has proven that his misuse in the so-called "big leagues" was ridiculous, while Morley's career has been revitalized by new competition and renewed rivalries. Morley looks about ready to put the match away with a Money Shot, but Shad rolls out of the ring. Before Morley knows what hit him (it was the ring bell), he's laid out in the middle of the ring. The ref saw it, though, and calls for the DQ.

Our main event is once again Raven in non-title action, tonight taking on the "Alpha Male" Monty Brown. Brown puts on a good show, but it's once again the King Of The Forum standing victorious with the Raven Effect. The champion poses as we fade to black.

Mickie James retained the Diva's Title against Melina.

Matt Stryker retained the Cruiserweight Title against Jason Cross.

Sandy Rochet and Lisa Benton defeated Kim Roderick and Oracle.

Southern Spice (Rob Conway and Jamie Noble) retained the Unified Tag Team Titles against America's Most Wanted.

Ian Moore defeated the Miz.

Pete Shapiro defeated MVP.

Team Raw (WWE Champion Chris Sylvain, Brian York, Bret Banderas and Mr. Kennedy) defeated Team SmackDown! (World Heavyweight Champion Kofi Kingston, Edge, Christian, and Alex Furious) when Sylvain pinned Kingston.

The stories coming out of Bragging Rights leading up to the Rumble:
Jason Collins damn near mocks Kingston's inability to lead Team SmackDown! to victory. Collins has beaten Chris Sylvain twice and would've done it again had he been able to lead the team. Kingston counters that he wasn't there though since Collins isn't the World Heavyweight Champion.

The Status Quo show no remorse over the beat down they put on Team SmackDown! post-match and they certainly feel justified in also destroying their 'teammate' Mr. Kennedy. They didn't want his help and they certainly didn't need his help. He had no business tagging himself into the match and no business slapping Sylvain across the face. If he had just minded his own business and left things up to the Status Quo, everything would've been gravy. Kennedy finally turns face by getting in their faces and is next in line to face Chris Sylvain for the WWE Title.

The other members of the Status Quo, Brian York and Bret Banderas, feel they need gold back around their waists and since they've demonstrated tremendous success as a team along with aiding in the defeat of one of the best teams ever in the WWE (Edge & Christian) they deserve a shot at the Unified Tag Team Titles. Southern Spice agree to a title match at the Rumble.

Jason Cross is angry over blowing his one chance to bring the Cruiserweight Title to SmackDown!. He declares that it isn't fair that Cruiserweight Title is essentially stuck on Raw and demands another opportunity at the title. Raw GM Steve Austin concedes that if Jason Cross can win a match on Raw then the Cruiserweight Title can be defended on both shows and Cross will be first in line at the Royal Rumble. Cross is successful in this challenge is prepped to face Matt Stryker again.

Kim Roderick vows to make up for her team's loss at Bragging Rights by winning the Diva's Title from Mickie James. She wins a four-way elimination match to become number one contender to the belt at the Royal Rumble.

Nothing has been resolved in the ongoing saga between HHH and Sean O'Haire and the duo's double elimination of each other during the 20 man battle royal at Bragging Rights which led to a massive brawl throughout the arena only intensified the drama. The two are set to battle in a street fight at the Royal Rumble.

The remainder of the roster are all making their bids to enter the Royal Rumble match and emerge the winner.

So here's the Royal Rumble card:

The 30 man Royal Rumble

WWE Title: Chris Sylvain (c) vs. Mr. Kennedy

World Heavyweight Title: Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Jason Collins

WWE Cruiserweight Title: Matt Stryker (c) vs. Jason Cross

WWE Diva's Title: Mickie James (c) vs. Kim Roderick

WWE Unified Tag Team Titles: Southern Spice (c) vs. The Status Quo

Sean O'Haire vs. HHH

Royal Rumble results:

Matt Stryker retained the Cruiserweight Title against Jason Cross.

Mickie James retained the Diva's Title against Kim Roderick

Southern Spice retained the Unified Tag Team Titles against the Status Quo when Edge and Christian returned and caused Conway to pin York.

HHH defeated Sean O'Haire in a street fight. Both men are stretchered out.

Jason Collins defeated Kofi Kingston to win the World Heavyweight Title for the fifth time.

Chris Sylvain defeated Mr. Kennedy to retain the WWE Title.

Ian Moore won the Royal Rumbe last eliminating Pete Shapiro.

I've only got three matches set so far for No Way Out. Mr. Kennedy will get a rematch against Chris Sylvain for the title. Kofi Kingston has exercised his rematch clause and will face Jason Collins. Ian Moore and Jack Swagger will have a bit of a blow off to their mini-feud that will put Moore's title shot on the line. I've always had a cage match of some kind on the show and I might have HHH and O'Haire be the lucky duo this time around plus I'm building up some one-off challengers for the Intercontinental and U.S. titles. It's a show where I'm gambling alot on the top matches since I'm saving the big stuff for WrestleMania. There will likely be a tag title match and a cruiserweight title match as well. Again, it's just decent middle-of-the-road stuff to tide people over until the big one.

I've played EWR off and on for about 8 years now. I'm 3 years into a TNA game and while checking out the EWR wikipedia page, I found out TEW 2005 is free. Downloaded. I've been waiting forever to play TEW. Needless to say, I am in heaven right now. Will I be let down?

Well, college is over and now I've got time to kill. Gonna start a new game with a twist.

I'll be taking the reigns the night after Extreme Rules...the first night the new brand rosters take effect. I'll do all 4 shows, and they will be in quick-result format to prevent me from getting lazy and burnt out as I normally do.

But here's the catch. Every Monday morning in-game, (not counting the first night I'm starting on), I will head over to random.org and generate a number between 1 and however many workers I have employed. I then count down on my roster (eg Abraham Washington is #1, Zack Ryder is #164, etc.) and whoever's number is pulled is fired.

It's a total crap shoot. Everybody is eligible. It could be somebody from development I'll never use (all of the Tough Enough contestants are there, too). It could be someone like Jericho, HBK, Austin, etc. who are on the roster for occasional appearances if I want to use them. It could be Cena or Rock and fuck up the WM 28 main event. Everyone is fair game.

A release will occur every week until WrestleMania 28, which will be the game's ending point. Beyond that, people will only be released in accordance with the Wellness Policy (ie: Regal is on his last strike, etc.) Nobody will be hired.

No doubt some releases will frustrate the shit out of me. But that's the fun of it. Hopefully will get started soon.

Booked through an entire week and made the first firing. HERE WE GO:

Monday Night Raw – 5/2/11
The Rock holds a birthday bash in the ring. Newly crowned WWE Champion John Cena interrupts and says his gift is that the title WILL be on the line at WM 28. The Raw GM announces that he’s selected 10 contenders for the title, and the #1 contender will be decided through a series of Beat the Clock matches TONIGHT!

Alberto Del Rio defeats Evan Bourne via Armbreaker to set the opening pace. Don’t ask me what the pace is.

CM Punk is flanked by Ryan, Otunga, McGillicutty, and a returning Husky Harris for his match against Big Show. The 4 surround the ring and make nuisances of themselves. Despite the distractions, Del Rio’s time is not broken, so Nexus hit the ring and swarm Show for the DQ ending.

Kane rushes out to aid his partner, but the numbers game is just too great. The Nexus have made a statement tonight!

Kelly Kelly pins Melina after a K-2. The loser is then fed to the wolves as Kharma comes out and kills Melina.

Jerry Lawler grows tired of Michael Cole’s gloating. He challenges Cole to one final match at Over the Limit, and says that if he doesn’t beat Cole, he will leave the Raw announce table. Cole gladly accepts.

Rey Mysterio pins Dolph Ziggler following a 6-1-9. Unfortunately for Rey, it was a mere few seconds shy of the record. Del Rio is still the number 1 contender.

Del Rio’s time is finally broken as R-Truth puts away United States champion Kofi Kingston after an unexpected assist from Johnny Curtis, the NXT Season 4 winner who was mentored by Truth.

Video package for The Rock. Why? Because it’s his birthday and I have an extra segment to fill.

John Morrison vs. The Miz in the main event. Morrison appears to be close to winning, so Truth comes out for the distraction to protect his time. What he didn’t account for though was Miz capitalizing on it, getting the best time by a mere few seconds and becoming the new #1 contender. Truth is beside himself.

Cena confronts Miz. The Raw GM closes the show by congratulating Miz and announcing Morrison/Truth for Over the Limit. Along with that, there will be a Cena/Morrison vs. Truth/Miz match next week with the winning team picking the stipulations for their respective PPV matches.

NXT: Redemption – May 3, 2011
Lucky Cannon uses devious tactics to defeat Conor O’Brian.

Maryse greets Lucky backstage and compliments him on doing whatever it takes to win. Could Maryse finally be warming up to Lucky?

Hornswoggle and Titus O’Neil backstage silliness. O’Neil’s getting ready for his match later on.

Jacob Novak and JTG defeat Byron Saxton and Yoshi Tatsu after a “Novak Attack” on Saxton. Maryse walked onstage on Lucky Cannon’s arm, which distracted Yoshi and prevented him from breaking up the pin. Saxton wasn’t happy about it.

Novak taunts Regal about the win. Regal grabs a mic and rips into Novak verbally, promising he’ll get the last laugh in the end.

Chavo Guerrero pins Titus O’Neil, O’Neil’s first defeat on NXT. Darren Young grabbed Hornswoggle on the outside, which sidetracked O’Neil and allowed Chavo to win with a roll-up and hook of the tights.

WWE Superstars – May 5, 2011
William Regal blows off some steam over his issues with Jacob Novak on NXT. Regal takes on Jimmy Uso and is able to withstand Jey interference to grab the win.

Video package is shown highlighting Christian winning the World Heavyweight Title at Extreme Rules.

Chris Masters marks his return to the Raw roster with a win over Primo via the Masterlock.

Raw Rebound shows the highlights from the Beat the Clock challenge matches on Monday.

Zack Ryder grabs a mic and says he’s sick of being disrespected. He’s an internet sensation and it’s time to make an impact.

Ryder grabs a huge win over Santino Marella thanks to interference from Curt Hawkins. Vladimir Kozlov runs out for the save, but the damage was done.

Friday Night SmackDown – May 6, 2011
Christian holds a World Heavyweight Title celebration ceremony. During the segment, Edge comes out for a surprise appearance. He gives a speech and passes the torch onto Christian.

Daniel Bryan has a successful SmackDown debut, taking down the much larger Ezekiel Jackson and making him submit to the LeBell Lock.

The Corre jump Ezekiel Jackson in disgust. They leave him laying in the middle of the ring, essentially kicking him out of the group.

Theodore Long announces that the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Title will be determined tonight in a match featuring three of SmackDown’s newest acquisitions – Randy Orton, Sheamus, and Mark Henry.

Alex Riley and Brodus Clay defeat Trent Barreta and Yoshi Tatsu after a TKO on Barreta.

Riley and Clay grab mics. They talk about how the time to be a lackey is over. They are going to pool their strengths together and take the tag team division by storm.

Layla defeats Rosa Mendes in a shitty match. Kharma comes out and massacres Mendes after.

Cody Rhodes has a tall task ahead of him against the mammoth Great Khali. Rhodes holds his own, but as soon as Khali begins getting momentum – Rhodes walks off and takes the countout loss. Khali celebrates his win, and Jinder Mahal comes out and slaps him over it.

Christian is backstage. In a nutshell, he says he doesn’t care who wins the main event – Captain Charisma finally has the gold and he will keep it for a long time.

Sin Cara defeats Tyson Kidd in a fun high-flying bout via top-rope C4.

In the main event triple threat match, Orton plants Henry with an RKO. However, Sheamus recovers on the outside and sneaks back in, throwing Orton over the top rope. Sheamus steals the cover and 3 seconds later is crowned the new number 1 contender. He may have lost the US Title on Sunday, but Sheamus is already moving on to bigger and better things.

Here's the build-up and card for WrestleMania 32.

Raw vs. SmackDown! Cruiserweight Showcase: Cruiserweight Champion Matt Stryker, Evan Bourne, and Don Maiden vs. Jason Cross, Sean Casey, and Derek Standish
This match stems from Jason Cross' anger over the SmackDown!'s cruiserweights inability to get the title away from Raw's Matt Stryker. Stryker suggests that maybe Raw just has the superior cruiserweights. Cross takes offense to this as do some of the other SmackDown! guys and they punish Stryker with a beating. Stryker later challenges Cross to a 3-on-3 match with them as captains. The two select their teammates after a series of tryout matches and all six men look to deliver the goods at WrestleMania. Stryker even offers a title match to whoever manages to win.

Money In the Bank: Mr. Kennedy vs. Scott Blackmore vs. John Morrison vs. Bryan Danielson vs. The Miz vs. Jack Swagger vs. Rhyno vs. AJ Styles vs. Kane vs. Cody Rhodes
What may appear to be a standard race-for-the-briefcase Money in the Bank ladder match, this is actually a nexus of a few personal quarrels, most notably Kennedy & Blackmore, Rhodes & Kane, and Miz & Danielson. Who's snatching the coveted Money in the Bank briefcase this year?

Sean Criss vs. CM Punk
These two top Raw stars have been at each other's throats since Punk unwittingly cost Criss the WWE Title back in October after Criss had only briefly tasted the gold after a lengthy chase. Punk's self-centeredness and ego has only been fueled by the frustration over not being able to win the WWE Title since his arrival on Raw while Criss is motivated by delivering the beating Punk has had coming to him for years. Raw GM Steve Austin has sweetened the pot by making sure the winner of this match has a WWE Title on Raw in the coming month.

Sean O'Haire vs. Batista
This special Raw vs. SmackDown! match came to be after Sean O'Haire ran into Batista at No Way Out and bragged about the suffering HHH was put through. After a few taunts, Batista made his play and started a brawl which ended badly for the Animal. O'Haire suggested that perhaps Batista would fare better in a straight-up match and made his plans to reach the top known: he would go through all of the former Evolution members! Batista, never one to back down, has made his bid to put an end to the rise of O'Haire before it can even begin. Who will survive this battle of monsters?

WWE U.S. Heavyweight Title: Pete Shapiro (c) vs. R-Truth
The truth hurts....and never was it more apparent than when R-Truth showed his true colors and destroyed Shapiro after the two of them came up short in a triple threat Money in the Bank qualifying match. R-Truth now plans to rob Shapiro of his dreams and become the new U.S. Champion in the most humbling way imaginable. The grandest stage of them all will be the setting where this bitterness comes to a head.

WWE Intercontinental Title: MVP (c) vs. Mike Knox vs. Alex Furious vs. Cash Stevens
This fatal-four way brings together two very intense feuds with four men looking to stand out from the pack and take one more step towards the upper-echelon of superstars. Can Mike Knox win his first singles title in the WWE? Will Cash Stevens embark on another long run as champion? Is Alex Furious right when he claims he's one of the top young up-and-comers on SmackDown!? Or is WrestleMania yet another chance for MVP to defy the odds?

The Status Quo vs. Edge and Christian
This extremely intense blood feud began back at Bragging Rights when The Status Quo managed to defeat Team SmackDown! in the main event. Victory, however, wasn't enough for the vile group. Edge and Christian were among the victims of the post-match annihilation and that set in motion the trip to WrestleMania. After costing Bret Banderas and Brian York the Unified Tag Team Titles at the Royal Rumble, Edge and Christian were ready to face the two on an even playing field. The Status Quo, ever eager to prove their dominance, took up this chance to defeat and humiliate one of the most decorated teams in WWE history. Looking at the credentials of Edge and Christian, not just as a team, but as individuals, it may seem like the Status Quo have bitten off more than they can chew. But if history has shown one thing, the Status Quo always seem to be one step ahead of the competion. Will their path to dominance be cut off by two of the WWE's greatest?

WWE Title: Chris Sylvain (c) vs. Randy Orton
Chris Sylain should not be champion. 2015 was supposed to be the year of the Viper. At least that's the feeling that the WWE fans have expressed, a sentiment not shared by the leader of the Status Quo and one of the most dispicable men ever to grace a WWE ring, Chris Sylvain. Just a mere month after winning the title at last year's WrestleMania, Chris Sylvain, having stolen the Money in the Bank contract from Scott Blackmore, turned his back on his own team, allowing the then fledgling Status Quo to defeat Randy Orton and proceeded to cash in his shot all before ousting Blackmore from the group and then taking over. Orton spent the next 10 months recovering from the horrific beating he took but all the while, planning his revenge. The shows after No Way Out saw the Viper vandalize a poster commemorating Sylvain's acheivements over the last year, deliver an actual, live viper as a gift to the Status Quo, and finally appearing live in person to RKO the champion into oblivion. While Sylvain thought he was protected by the 'no rematch' clause of the Money in the Bank, Raw GM Steve Austin reminded the champion that it was voided when Sean Criss had won the title in the triple threat match back at Unforgiven. This epic rematch is sure to be packed with brutality and fury but will Orton's road to redemption be a dead end or will Sylvain's tyranny come to a destructive end?

World Heavyweight Title: Jason Collins (c) vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Ian Moore
After winning the Royal Rumble, Ian Moore's trip to the main event at WrestleMania was a lock. There was just one small problem: Kofi Kingston. Kofi Kingston, determined to win back the gold after his loss to Collins at the Royal Rumble, went into battle once more at No Way Out to regain his status at the top dog on SmackDown!. However, the double countout solved nothing and Kingston was resolute in his quest to get closure. SmackDown! GM the Rock had a solution: both Moore and Kingston would challenge for the title at WrestleMania! This battle of the three most popular SmackDown! stars has been analyzed by nearly everyone in the company but it's now up to them to show who wants it more. Who will receive their vindication in the main event of WrestleMania?

Results later.

05-25-2011, 01:32 AM

Another week done. Will probably update these whenever I book a full week so as to not totally spam the thread.

Monday Night Raw – May 9, 2011
R-Truth opens up the show by bringing out Johnny Curtis, who helped Truth win last week. He said that even though he got screwed out of a WWE Title match, gold would soon be around his waist anyway after his business with Morrison is done. He called Curtis the real deal and said that he will soon be cashing in his Tag Team Title shot that he earned by winning NXT Season 4.

Johnny Curtis validated those claims in his match against JTG, looking much more ruthless than he was on NXT. Curtis gets the win after a slingshot legdrop.

Backstage, CM Punk debriefed the Nexus on that night’s plans against Big Show and Kane. Tag team action is up next!

In a match that was far better than I ever thought it would be (84% Match Quality), Big Show and Kane gained a measure of revenge against Husky Harris and Michael McGillicutty following a WMD punch to McGillicutty’s face. The rest of Nexus attacked after, picking their spots behind Mason Ryan’s brute strength. The tag team champions were left laying for a second straight week.

Raw newcomer Drew McIntyre scored what many would deem a massive upset, pinning Rey Mysterio cleanly with the Future Shock after a lengthy bout. Could Raw be where we finally see The Chosen One step up?

Jerry “The King” Lawler and Michael Cole held a contract signing. Cole signed the contract so hastily that he failed to notice that not only is Lawler’s Raw broadcast booth spot on the line, so is Cole’s. An angry Cole called for Jack Swagger, who proceeded to brawl with King.

Eve grabs a win over Maryse following a Moonsault. However the real story is Kharma emerging from the back after, once again feasting upon the loser. Kharma’s now victimized 4 divas.

Alberto Del Rio is out with a microphone. In his first of many promos on Raw, Del Rio hyped that Raw is where he will finally achieve his “destiny”.

Del Rio and Kofi Kingston proceeded to have an awesome 4-star bout before Dolph Ziggler ran out and attacked Kingston for the DQ ending. Ziggler planted Kofi with the Zig Zag before admiring the United States title. Clearly Ziggler has his sight set on gold.

The main event tag team bout of Cena/Morrison vs. Miz/Truth bout saw the face team win following a miscommunication from the heel side. Cena pins Truth following the Attitude Adjustment. Because of this, Cena may pick the stipulation at Over the Limit.

Cena closes out the show by informing Miz that they will wrestle for the WWE Title at Over the Limit in an I QUIT MATCH! Never seen that one before, right? :shifty:

NXT: Redemption – May 10, 2011
Rookie vs. Pro action starts us off as Tyson Kidd makes Byron Saxton tap out to the Sharpshooter. Neither Kidd’s rookie Lucky Cannon nor Saxton’s pro Yoshi Tatsu were at ringside, both were tending to Maryse backstage after her Kharma attack the night previous.

A fed up Byron Saxton grabs a house mic and says he’s sick of Yoshi putting Maryse before him. He openly issues a challenge to Yoshi for a match next week.

Titus O’Neil gets another victory over Darren Young after Chavo Guerrero’s attempts to interfere were thwarted by the pesky Hornswoggle.

After Yoshi comes out of Maryse’s dressing room, Lucky Cannon jumps him from behind. He leaves Yoshi laying on the concrete before confidently walking into the room.

Jacob Novak and JTG took on Conor O’Brian and Vladimir Kozlov. Novak put too much attention on William Regal at ringside. Novak slapped Regal, which prompted Regal to interfere later in the match to help O’Brian get a pinfall victory over Novak.

Regal challenges Novak to a match for next week, which is accepted. With the first elimination looming next week, it will be an important night for everybody involved.

WWE Superstars – May 12, 2011
“The Canadian Bulldog” David Hart Smith kicks off Superstars with a win over Tyler Reks via Running Powerslam.

The Raw Rebound highlights the Cena/Miz feud. God it’s so easy to book Superstars realistically in this game.

Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins come out to discuss their actions last week. They say that “The Major Broskis” have reunited and they will now fist pump Santino and Kozlov in the face.

The Major Broskis lived up to their word, scoring a hard fought victory over Santino and Kozlov following a Rough Ryder on Kozlov. Woo woo woo, you know it.

SmackDown rebound time to eat another segment. Sheamus sneakily becoming the number one contender is highlighted.

William Regal faces the other Uso brother, Jey – this week in the final tune-up before his match with Novak next week. A Regal match shockingly pulls only a 56% rating thanks to Jey not selling. Regal wards off Jimmy before making Jey tap out to the Regal Stretch.

Friday Night SmackDown – May 13, 2011
Intercontinental champion Wade Barrett opened the show against Trent Barreta. Barreta very nearly pulled off the upset, but Barrett reversed an attempted Dudebuster DDT into a Wasteland for the win.

Barrett celebrated with The Corre and boasted on the mic about how they are better off without Ezekiel Jackson. Speaking of which, Gabriel and Slater want to face him in a tag match right now.

Zeke selected his opponent from last week, Daniel Bryan, as his partner. After a fairly even tag bout, Zeke got the hot tag and was able to get a head of steam, pinning Slater after the Book of Ezekiel.

Brodus Clay picked up a huge win over The Great Khali with some help from Alex Riley. Both men stomped a mudhole into Khali after. The new tag team have made another statement by taking out the biggest dog in the SmackDown yard.

Christian was backstage for an interview. He discussed that night’s main event as well as his forthcoming Over the Limit match with Sheamus.

Cody Rhodes came out and insulted the crowd as per usual, providing paper bags for everybody. He decided to sit in on commentary for the upcoming bout.

Sin Cara once again thrilled the crowd with his dazzling high risk offense in a win over Ted DiBiase. Rhodes seemed particularly interested in Cara on commentary. Cara responded the only way he knows how – by pointing!

A banged up Great Khali is once again confronted backstage by Jinder Mahal. Mahal yelled at him, presumably calling Khali weak.

In a match between two of SmackDown’s newest divas, Natalya made Alicia Fox tap out to the Sharpshooter. As expected, Kharma made her frightening presence known afterwards – planting the losing Fox with an Implant Buster.

Randy Orton expressed displeasure over not being the number one contender, but assured everybody that it would only be a matter of time before the Viper strikes gold again.

The main event tag match pitted Christian and Randy Orton against Sheamus and Mark Henry (sound familiar?) Christian sets Henry up for the Killswitch, but Sheamus charges. Orton intercepts him and nails an RKO, allowing Christian to complete his move on Henry for the victory. Christian and Orton shook hands, although the tension was evident.

-----

And now for this week’s elimination!

Number drawn: 140

Stone Cold Steve Austin has been released

Release Tally
Week 1: Chris Masters
Week 2: Stone Cold Steve Austin

Fuck. Not sure how often I would have used Austin, but he'd guarantee huge segment ratings whenever I used him. Also have plans for some Tough Enough guys that Austin could have helped get over. Ah well.

05-28-2011, 01:45 AM

Big week here. 4 shows plus a PPV and an elimination.

Monday Night Raw – May 16, 2011
The Raw GM announces that tonight, Cena and Miz will pick each other’s opponents. Miz is up first. Cena decides to let Jerry “The King” Lawler get one last crack at him. Good match between the two. Cole signals for Jack Swagger to come out and wreak havoc on Cole’s Over the Limit opponent. The interference is botched, and King connects with the Fist Drop for the surprising win! Surely this is bad momentum for Miz going into Sunday!

Michael Cole berates Jack Swagger for his screw up, and slaps him in the face. Swagger looks like he’s about to snap. How much more abuse at the hands of Cole can he take?

Backstage, we see Mason Ryan and David Otunga laid out in the Nexus locker room, presumably by Kane and the Big Show. Punk is beside himself.

Brie Bella defends the Divas title against Kelly Kelly. Shitty match that the crowd didn’t care about because of the good opener. Brie retains after a Switcheroo with Nikki. Kharma comes out and chases off everybody.

Dolph Ziggler/Drew McIntyre vs. Rey Mysterio/Kofi Kingston. Really lengthy, awesome tag team bout – everybody clicked in this one. After the usual flurry of finishers towards the end, Ziggler comes out of nowhere with a Zig Zag to pin Kofi for the win. Bah gawd if that happens on Sunday we’ll have a new champion!

John Morrison cuts a promo, hyping his street fight against R-Truth on Sunday. This got an 87% Overall rating. So much for him not having any charisma as a face.

OMG it’s Zack Ryder on Raw!!! He faces Evan Bourne in a fast-paced encounter. Bourne eventually takes control and ascends to the top rope. As he attempts Air Bourne, Curt Hawkins reaches into the ring and pulls Ryder away. Ryder climbs on top of Bourne for the win. Has the Ryder Revolution begun?

Since Show and Kane knocked out their planned opponents for the night, the Raw GM ordered them to put their Tag Titles on the line against R-Truth and Johnny Curtis (Curtis finally gets his NXT tag title shot!) Morrison comes out midway through to do commentary. Truth winds up ignoring the match and jawing at Morrison before brawling with him. Meanwhile, Curtis eats a WMD as Show and Kane retain.

Punk crashes the celebration. He says the Nexus is stronger than Show and Kane will ever know – and as such he knows a mystery man who would gladly be his partner for a Tag Title Match at Over the Limit. Show and Kane accept.

John Cena cuts a promo about Sunday’s match. Alberto Del Rio walks by and tells Cena he’s been hand-picked by Miz to be his opponent. That match is next!

Fairly standard Raw main event quality-wise, but the crowd is red hot. As expected, Miz makes a nuisance of himself which allows Del Rio to lock on the Rolling Armbar. Since he’s Super Cena, the move is locked in for way longer than anybody else as he finally passes out from the pain and his arm is dropped three times for the loss. Miz pounds on him some more and promises Cena that on Sunday he’ll say something he didn’t say tonight – I quit!

NXT: Redemption – May 17, 2011
On the night of the first elimination, Lucky Cannon grabs a huge win against a WWE Superstar – defeating Yoshi Tatsu via underhanded tactics.

As Lucky celebrates his win, Maryse enters the ring and assists Yoshi. She helps Yoshi to his feet before promptly kicking him in the balls, sending him back to the mat in agony. Maryse leaves hand-in-hand with Lucky.

Darren Young and Byron Saxton vs. Conor O’Brian and Titus O’Neil. Shitty match as Titus didn’t sell. Saxton looks impressive and gets Titus reeling before Young makes a blind tag. Young plants his finisher on Titus and gets the pin, basically stealing the win from Saxton. Saxton is not happy about it.

William Regal cuts his standard awesome impassioned promo before his match against Jacob Novak.

Try as he might, Novak couldn’t back up his talk. He was no match for the far more experienced Regal, taking a hard knee to the face before being locked into the Regal Stretch for the loss.

Elimination time, and Jacob Novak is the first one out for the second season in a row. Matt Striker announces that the next elimination will be next week!

WWE Superstars – May 19, 2011
Curt Hawkins enters first. Then comes Santino, who cuts a comedic promo on Hawkins on his way to the ring.

After a fun match, Santino gets some revenge on Hawkins, pinning him following the Cobra.

SmackDown Rebound. NEXT.

Some divas tag team action next as Beth Phoenix and Gail Kim went up against Maryse and Melina. Pretty standard divas tag match. In the end, the power of the Glamazon was too much to overcome as she pinned Melina after a Glam Slam.

Raw Rebound. NEXT.

Superstars is usually good for matches of high quality. This night was no exception, as Trent Barreta and Chavo Guerrero went to war in a high octane battle. The young Barreta scored what some would consider an upset, pinning Guerrero following a brutal Dudebuster DDT.

Friday Night SmackDown – May 20, 2011
Cody Rhodes opens up with a cryptic, disturbing promo. As per usual, he distributes paper bags to the fans and requests that they wear them.

Rhodes vs. Sin Cara is next. The commentators reference Rhodes being on commentary for Cara’s match last week. Fantastic match with lots of high spots. Cara begins setting up for his finish before Rhodes slides out of the ring and walks off. The announcers get on Cody’s case for taking the easy way out.

Daniel Bryan and Ezekiel Jackson team up once again to take on Brodus Clay and Alex Riley. Match is going all fine and dandy before The Corre interject and try distracting their rivals. The end result is Bryan taking a Riley TKO for the loss. The Corre beat down Bryan and Zeke before WILLIAM REGAL of all people comes to their rescue!

Regal says that he’s sick of seeing the man he mentored being pushed around, and issues a challenge for Regal/Bryan/Zeke vs. the Corre at Over the Limit. Challenge accepted.

Randy Orton interview, discussing his match against Sheamus tonight and his match against Mark Henry at Over the Limit. Blah.

Orton and Sheamus have a long, awesome match. Mark Henry botches his attempted interference, which sees Sheamus eat an RKO for the loss. Henry and Sheamus beat down Orton until Christian runs out for the save.

Tyson Kidd and The Great Khali met in a shit match that the crowd couldn’t have cared less about. Jinder Mahal is at ringside and Khali keeps worrying himself about what he’s saying/doing. Kidd keeps working the legs and eventually makes Khali tap to the Sharpshooter.

Jinder Mahal slaps Khali before yelling at him some more. Khali still does nothing about it.

All-face divas tag team action next as Natalya and Layla met up against Tamina and Kaitlyn. Standard short divas match that ends with Natalya making Tamina tap out to the Sharpshooter – 2 matches in a row with the Sharpshooter ending strangely. Kharma comes out and assaults Tamina after.

Riley and Clay cut a good promo backstage, boasting their win – conveniently ignoring the interference. They promise that they will make another big statement next week.

Christian and Mark Henry have a pretty bleh main event since their styles clash. Sheamus interferes this time, and decides not to be secretive about it. He jumps right into the ring and plants a Brogue Kick on Christian for the DQ ending. A beatdown ensues. Orton runs out and pulls Sheamus off of Christian but is then blindsided by Henry. The heels have the momentum heading into Over the Limit and stand tall to end the show.

WWE Over the Limit – May 22, 2011
Dark Match: Sin Cara def. Jimmy Uso (no Jey, he got checked into rehab) with the Moonsault Slam. **1/4, 72% Overall

The Corre def. Ezekiel Jackson, Daniel Bryan, and William Regal thanks to interference from a returning Skip Sheffield. When the invariable pier six brawl broke out, Sheffield came in through the crowd and gave Regal, his former NXT Pro, a lariat from hell. Barrett got the pin. **3/4, 78% Overall

Kofi Kingston pinned Dolph Ziggler via Trouble in Paradise to retain the United States Title. ***3/4, 86% Overall

Randy Orton pinned Mark Henry via RKO. **, 80% Overall

Christian pinned Sheamus via Killswitch to retain the World Heavyweight Title. ***, 84% Overall

CM Punk promised his mystery partner would arrive, but he worked most of the match solo. Nexus interjected themselves, taking Kane out of the mix. Punk locked Show in a chokehold that got Show to his knees. Suddenly, Michael Tarver (bandana and all) emerged from the crowd and hopped onto the apron. Punk tagged him in, and Tarver leveled Show with the huge knockout punch he never got to showcase on NXT. Tarver and Punk win the belts! ***3/4, 84% Overall

Jerry “The King” Lawler pinned Michael Cole via Royal Fist Drop. Cole kept trying to cheat and was finally thwarted by Jack Swagger, turning Swagger face. Swagger locked in an Ankle Lock on Cole for good measure post-match. 1/2*, 79% Overall

Phew. Dodged a bullet there, was only a couple of numbers away from Cena and Morrison. I wasn't going to do anything with The Usos, and Jey getting put in rehab this week made them even more expendable. Still, the SmackDown roster is far lighter than the Raw roster and I just lost a tag team when I was trying to build the division. May have to make some more call-ups soon.

Monday Night Raw – May 23, 2011
The show opens up in typical post-PPV fashion, with Cena celebrating his title win. It is announced that a brand new number one contender will be announced tonight in a match between longtime rivals Rey Mysterio and Alberto Del Rio.

CM Punk leads a Nexus promo before formally reintroducing Michael Tarver to the group. Tarver says a few menacing words of his own. The Raw GM announces that Big Show and Kane will invoke their rematch clause next week. Until then, they have other opponents – Santino and Kozlov!

The Nexus win the match, with Tarver laying out Santino with a huge right hand. That’s two knockout punches in two nights for Tarver.

United States champion Kofi Kingston and Zack Ryder have a great non-title match. Curt Hawkins interferes, which leads to an enormous upset win for Ryder. The Ryder Revolution truly has begun, as in a matter of weeks he’s built himself into a title contender.

The Miz promo. He promises he’ll be making an impact soon and that he’ll be back in the title contender before long, etc.

8-diva tag action. Kelly, Gail, Beth, and Eve vs. The Bellas, Melina, and Maryse. The face team wins after a Glam Slam on Melina.

Kharma comes out after the bout as all 8 divas stand in the ring. Kharma DOESN’T break down and cry. Instead, she teases getting in the ring before jumping back off the apron and laughing maniacally. The divas appear to be unnerved.

John Morrison and Drew McIntyre have a fantastic, nearly 4 star match. Morrison nearly has it won but R-Truth runs out for the DQ ending. Despite winning last night, Truth still continues to make Morrison’s life a living hell.

Michael Cole is in the ring. He criticizes Jack Swagger for turning on him and accuses him of being pathetic and unloyal.

Swagger shrugs off the insults before destroying Primo in a squash match. Primo taps to the Ankle Lock. Swagger points at Cole and celebrates, and when he turns around, Dolph Ziggler is charging at him. Swagger dugs and sends Ziggler flying over the top. What is the meaning of that?

Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio tear the house down with an excellent main event. Miz inexplicably runs out and trips up Rey, which leads to Del Rio capitalizing for the win to become the brand new number one contender. Miz and Del Rio continue the beat down on Rey before Cena runs out for the save. Miz and Del Rio smugly back their way up the ramp as Raw goes off the air.

NXT: Redemption – May 24, 2011
Titus O’Neil and Conor O’Brian have a really terrible match to open the show. 52% Overall Rating. Yikes. Titus not selling didn’t help matters. Conor gets the big win following a full nelson slam.

Backstage, Lucky Cannon and Maryse are plotting – clearly up to no good!

Cannon had a huge task ahead of him with a bout against WWE Pro Vladimir Kozlov. Lucky did quite well for himself, controlling the pace most of the way. Eventually Vlad’s sambo expertise came to the forefront, causing Maryse to save her man with a well-placed shot to Vlad’s nuts for the DQ ending. Lucky then added on his finisher as the happy couple laughed at the damage they caused.

Backstage, Chavo Guerrero and Darren Young were talking. Normally these two are friends – but tonight they are enemies in a Pros vs. Rookies tag team bout!

The tag team match was anything but, as Chavo jumped off the apron from the get go – leaving Yoshi Tatsu to face Darren Young and Byron Saxton on his own. Yoshi got beaten down for much of the match before eventually making the face rally. Saxton went to tag in Young and Young jumped off the apron and angrily walked off, to the surprise of everybody including his pro Chavo Guerrero. Saxton eats a Buzzsaw Kick for the loss.

Before the elimination is announced, Matt Striker asks Darren Young to explain his actions moments ago. Young trashes NXT, saying he was a Raw superstar and never should have been brought back. He said he received a phone call recently – and because of that call, he no longer needs to tolerate this crap. So don’t bother eliminating anybody – because he quits! Young storms off to the shock of everybody. What does next week have in store when yet another elimination will take place?

WWE Superstars – May 26, 2011
Re-match of last week’s main event between Chavo Guerrero and Trent Barreta. After another good match, Chavo gets the better of the exchange this time and wins after a roll-up while hooking the tights.

SmackDown Rebound.

JTG pins Tyler Reks with whatever the fuck his finisher is.

Raw Rebound.

Dolph Ziggler is out to cut a promo before his main event match.

Dolph Ziggler and Evan Bourne’s main event was disappointing. It was decent but I guess I expected it to be really good just based on who was involved. Ah well, guess their styles didn’t gel. Regardless, after the lengthy bout Ziggler grabs the win after a Zig Zag.

Friday Night SmackDown – May 27, 2011
World Heavyweight champion Christian kicks off the show by discussing his triumph over Sheamus at Over the Limit. He says he looks forward to seeing who his next challenger will be.

Theodore Long comes out and informs Christian that tonight there will be a rematch from Sunday – Orton vs. Henry, the winner will be the new number one contender.

A battle of the big men up next as Kane faces off against Brodus Clay. Kane eventually takes control, leading to Alex Riley jumping in and causing a DQ. Kane eventually fights them off and bodypresses Riley over the top rope onto Clay. Kane looks ready for his tag title re-match on Monday!

Backstage, Jinder Mahal is seen screaming at The Great Khali. Khali seems to take the abuse as he has in the past. The two will meet in the ring tonight.

6-diva tag team action. Natalya, Layla, and Kaitlyn defeat Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes, and Tamina after a Sharpshooter on Fox. Kharma comes out and much like on Raw, the divas unite and Kharma backs off while laughing maniacally again.

Christian is walking in the hallway and he encounters Sheamus. Sheamus promises Christian that it’s not over between the two of them.

Jinder Mahal vs. The Great Khali was hardly a match. Mahal slapped Khali a few times and seemingly ordered Khali to lay on his back. Khali obliged, and Mahal had the easiest first win ever. What is this power that Mahal possess over Khali?

Wade Barrett leads The Corre to the ring, and he officially welcomes Skip Sheffield into the group. Sheffield reminds everybody that he was a loyal member of Nexus back in the day and Wade never actually kicked him out. Now that his ankle has healed, the SmackDown roster is in for a world of hurt – especially his former WWE Pro, William Regal.

Sheffield and Regal had a pretty good match, with a lot of stiff shots I imagine. The Corre cause trouble and distractions, which leads to Sheffield landing a huge lariat for the win over his former Pro. Daniel Bryan and Ezekiel Jackson run out, but the man advantage The Corre has proves to be too great.

With Cody Rhodes watching from ringside, Sin Cara and Chavo Guerrero put on a fantastic 4-star clinic, probably better than the ones they had in real life. Cara stays undefeated following the Moonsault Slam. As he celebrates, Cody Rhodes jumps him from behind and plants him with the Cross Rhodes. Perhaps Cody would like a rematch from last week.

Much like their match at Over the Limit, the Orton/Henry bout was nothing to write home about – but the crowd was into it so whatever. Sheamus runs out towards the end and attacks not just Orton, but Henry as well. This causes a no contest. What does this mean for the number one contendership? I don’t know! Tune in next week to find out!

FUCK. Not happy about that at all. His stats made him one of the best all-around workers on the roster. Moreover, it's a huge dent in the Corre/Anti-Corre feud I had going. I had Darren Young "quit" NXT with the idea of having him join the Nexus and get them back to 7 members - but now I may add him to The Corre just so I can try to continue the storyline along the same path I was going.

Is it wrong that at times I would rather watch what is booked in this thread than what TNA churns out from time to time?

Evil Vito

06-07-2011, 02:45 PM

Sounds perfectly logical. I don't even know who half the guys in your game are and it still sounds way better than TNA.

By the way, gonna have Darren Young re-join the Nexus as scheduled. Just realized I can use Gabriel's release as a chance to add a Corre member from out of left field. I can call up a certain uber-talented guy from FCW who should put on fucking fantastic matches with Daniel Bryan. I probably would have wasted this guy away on NXT Season 6 otherwise.

M-A-G

06-07-2011, 02:51 PM

I totally need to post my entire roster with some background info on the 'game exclusive' guys and who's heel/face. It'd clarify a few things. In the meantime, the Rock is on Raw for his draft picks! Who's going to be first of seven that will leave with the Rock to SmackDown!?

M-A-G

06-07-2011, 02:57 PM

The Rock pushes the randomizer button....here's the screen to display the first draft pick.

And it's.....

....SEAN O'HAIRE!!! The star on the rise is heading for what may be greener pastures. He had plans to take out Randy Orton as his progression through the Evolution ranks would've ended up with a confrontation with the Viper. Those plans may be kaput if Orton remains on Raw. Of course, a rematch with Batista may also be inevitable when and if Batista recovers from being brutalized at WrestleMania.

M-A-G

06-07-2011, 03:18 PM

The Rock goes for the button again as it's time for draftee number 2....the computer makes its selection......

....NATALYA! The former Hart Dynasty member is on her way back to where she first debuted. How will she fare in possible matches against SmackDown! newcomers Kianna and Frost?

Monday Night Raw – May 30, 2011
The Miz is in the ring, explaining his actions last week. Rey Mysterio comes out to confront him. Then Alberto Del Rio joins in. Finally, John Cena as well. Everybody argues before the Raw GM makes a main event tag team match for tonight.

Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne face off against Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. Excellent match, 90% quality. The United States champion grabs the win after pinning Hawkins via Trouble in Paradise. After the bout, Drew McIntyre hits the ring and plants Kofi with a Future Shock. Drew joins the list of men staking their claim at a title shot.

Nikki Bella vs. Kelly Kelly. Nobody cares until Kharma hits the ring and flattens everybody, continuing her string of complete dominance that has lasted for a month now.

Kharma actually grabs a microphone and tells a horrified Brie Bella that the destruction will not stop until she receives a shot at the Divas Title.

John Morrison and Johnny Curtis meet in a match that’s about as mediocre as it gets. A Truth interference botch leads to a Morrison win via Starship Pain. Morrison fights off both after. It won’t be too much longer before Morrison and Truth meet mano-a-mano in the ring again.

A video is played hyping the forthcoming return of…*inhales deeply* *quick exhale*…Gooooooldusssssst.

Punk/Tarver vs. Show/Kane for the tag titles. The ref winds up banning the other members of Nexus midway through. However, that doesn’t stop DARREN YOUNG from jumping over the barrier and neutralizing Big Show, clipping his knees and knocking him off the apron while the ref didn’t see it. This distracted Kane, who walked into a huge GTS from Punk for the title retain.

Punk brings out the other Nexus members to celebrate. He reminds everybody that he and Young go way back to the first season of NXT, when Young was his rookie and didn’t listen. Well after seeing him on NXT 5, he realized he finally changed and is ready to make an impact. As such, he officially re-inducted Young into the Nexus. Young slips on his armband and celebrates. The Nexus is now a huge force, back to 7 members.

Jack Swagger vs. Dolph Ziggler. ANOTHER 90% quality match, this has been a quality episode of Raw. After a great back-and-forth bout, Swagger cinches in the Ankle Lock. Ziggler makes it to the ropes and rolls out, retreating to the back and living to fight another day.

Ziggler doesn’t even make it up the ramp before the Raw GM chimes in. Michael Cole begrudgingly announces that Swagger will be granted another chance at Ziggler in a rematch next week.

Shit hot crowd for the tag main event. The heel team act all chickenshit-like, trying to avoid making in-ring contact with their respective opponents. Del Rio and Miz have a miscommunication that leads to Miz being dropped onto the middle rope. 6-1-9, then Miz stumbles back into an Attitude Adjustment for the loss. Cena and Rey stand tall tonight, but will they be doing so at Capitol Punishment?

NXT: Redemption – May 31, 2011
JTG and Chavo Guerrero meet in a battle of “hey, my rookie is no longer on NXT!” because I’m forced to have 3 matches. Chavo wins via Frog Splash.

Lucky Cannon and Maryse plot backstage. This nets Lucky overness points. Guess being paired with a super hot blonde doesn’t work only if you’re Ted DiBiase.

Lucky Cannon vs. Conor O’Brien. Maryse’s attempted interference goes slightly awry and allows O’Brian to plant his finisher for the win. As he celebrates, Maryse low-blows him, allowing Lucky to recover and hit a finisher of his own. Although he may have lost the match, Lucky has made an impact.

Byron Saxton cuts a halfway decent promo, hyping his upcoming match.

Titus O’Neil vs. Byron Saxton. Horrible match as Titus once again didn’t sell. Saxton picks up a huge, surprisingly clean, victory following his facebuster finisher thingy.

And with the 3rd elimination of NXT, Titus O’Neil is going home. That’ll teach you to no-sell, you bastard! Matt Striker announces that there are 2 weeks left for rookies to get their redemption, and that another elimination will be next week.

WWE Superstars – June 2, 2011
Drew McIntyre vs. David Hart Smith. Pretty solid opening contest that sees Drew get the win following a Future Shock.

Raw Rebound.

Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov vs. Husky Harris and Michael McGillicutty. Bog standard tag team bout, once the face team begins to get an advantage – Mason Ryan and David Otunga hop into the ring and join in on an attack. 4 on 2 beatdown ensues, the Nexus ends the Raw portion of the show standing tall.

SmackDown Rebound.

Trent Barreta vs. Tyson Kidd. Spectacular main event, 90% match quality. After a long match, Chavo Guerrero interjects and trips up Barreta. Kidd capitalizes with a huge DDT before locking in a Sharpshooter for the win.

After the bout, Chavo gets on the mic. He tells Barreta he can beat him fair and square, and he plans on proving it next week!

Friday Night SmackDown – June 3, 2011
Theodore Long announces that as a result of the no contest last week, Orton and Henry will BOTH be number one contenders. Triple threat match at Capitol Punishment for the belt. In addition, all three men will compete in special one-on-one matches tonight.

Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes. Fantastic opener, surprised at how well these two guys gelled. Ted DiBiase runs out and tries to help Rhodes (Legacy represent!) but fails. Rhodes eats an RKO for the loss. Rhodes and DiBiase beat down Orton after until Sin Cara runs in for the save and lands a couple huge high-flying maneuvers.

Alex Riley and Brodus Clay self promotion interview. No real reason for it, just keeping them on screen on a week I have nothing for them to do.

Layla vs. Tamina. This predictably didn’t go well at all after the intense opener that sucked the energy out of the crowd. Anyway, Layla gets the win. Kharma comes out after and destroys both.

Kharma reiterates her point from Monday. Until she gets her Divas Title match, the relentless destruction of the divas roster will continue.

Daniel Bryan vs. Heath Slater. Decent enough match. Ezekiel Jackson and William Regal ensure Wade Barrett and Skip Sheffield stay neutralized at ringside long enough for Bryan to win via LeBell Lock. Bryan points at Barrett, and the announcers (correctly) speculate that he wants an Intercontinental Title match.

Kane vs. Mark Henry. Holy hell, an 84% match quality out of Mark Henry. Back and forth hoss battle sees Henry win cleanly with the World’s Strongest Slam. Henry adds a few big splashes to Kane after, adding insult to injury.

After the highlights are shown, Kane slowly gets to his feet. This doesn’t last long – as Sheamus sneaks into the ring and blindsides him with a Brogue Kick. Sheamus is clearly frustrated after being left out of the title picture, but why would he pick Kane of all people to vent his frustration on?

Jinder Mahal vs. Yoshi Tatsu. Pretty basic match here, decent enough. Mahal grabs his first real WWE win with a move he calls the Sands of Time. After the match, The Great Khali comes out and stares down Mahal – only to pick up Tatsu and drop him with a Punjabi Plunge. Bah gawd has Mahal brainwashed Khali?

Interview with The Corre, specifically Wade Barrett. Barrett addresses Bryan and infers that he hasn’t earned a title shot yet. But onto tonight, he’s been selected to face Christian – and that Champion vs. Champion match is up NEXT!

Christian vs. Wade Barrett. Definitely a main event quality bout, need to file that information away for later. Unfortunately, it has a standard TV main event finish as Mark Henry comes in for the DQ ending. Randy Orton runs in before the beatdown can get too big, and he lands an RKO on Barrett. Henry escapes as Christian and Orton have an intense staredown to end the show.

Championship roll call:

WWE Cruiserweight Champion: Evan Bourne - won title after WrestleMania from Matt Stryker when Austin pointed out the contract stipulation that the winner in the cruiserweight six-man match would get a title shot. Stryker has since snapped and turned heel against Bourne. The two are scheduled for a match at Judgment Day.

WWE Diva's Champion: Mickie James - won title from Melina back in November. Next scheduled defense is Judgment Day against Veronica.

WWE Unified Tag Team Champions: The Status Quo (Bret Banderas and Brian York) - won titles after WrestleMania from Rob Conway and Jamie Noble. Next scheduled defense is Judgment Day against Edge & Christian who shockingly returned on a recent edition of Superstars to win a Tag Team Turmoil match to become number one contenders.

WWE U.S. Heavyweight Champion: R-Truth - won title from Pete Shapiro in a rematch at Backlash. Has since formed the Posse with JTG and Shad. No upcoming title defenses at the moment.

WWE Intercontinental Champion: MVP - won title from Rhyno at Survivor Series. Next scheduled defense at Judgment Day against William Regal.

World Heavyweight Champion: Jason Collins - won title from Kofi Kingston at Royal Rumble. Next scheduled defense is at Judgment Day against Ted DiBiase, Jr. who has decided to cash in his floating title shot granted to him from his SummerSlam 2014 victory. Despite some legal issues, Collins, ever the fighter and pissed at Ted's rather aggressive debut against the champion on SmackDown!, has accepted the match.

WWE Heavyweight Title: Scott Blackmore - was awarded title after Austin stripped Chris Sylvain after it was determined that Randy Orton had effectively brutalized him to the point where he could not defend the title within a 30 day period the night after Backlash. Scott Blackmore used his Money in the Bank contract to override Austin's attempt to hold a tournament to crown a new champion. Next scheduled defense is against Mr. Kennedy on the next edition of Raw.

Finlay, Kane, Gregory Helms, and Shawn Michaels are all non-wrestlers. I don't want to let Finlay go just yet because he might be useful in some segments in order to get some people over plus I'm hoping he becomes a trainer. Kane will effectively be benched after his match with Cody Rhodes at Judgment Day. I don't want him getting snagged by the other promotions. Helms I might toss. Michaels will be used in a storyline that Ian Moore is currently involved in. Speaking of which, here's the Judgment Day card:

Ian Moore vs. John 'Bradshaw' Layfield:
Moore made the edict the SmackDown! after WrestleMania; he would defeat every single wrestler on the SmackDown! roster which will give him the right to challenge the World Heavyweight Champion at the time when his quest is over. JBL made the bid to take Moore under his wing believing that Moore is on a dead-end path. Moore's refusal has rubbed JBL the wrong way leading the two to agree to a match at the PPV. If Moore fails to secure a victory, he will have no choice but to align with the self-made millionaire and help him on his quest to the World Heavyweight Title.

WWE Diva's Title: Mickie James (c) vs. Veronica
Already explained in the above roll call.

WWE Intercontinental Title: MVP (c) vs. William Regal
See above.

WWE Cruiserweight Title: Evan Bourne (c) vs. Matt Stryker
See above.

WWE Unified Tag Team Titles: The Status Quo vs. Edge and Christian
See above.

Kane vs. Cody Rhodes
Stemming from Kane's absolute disgust over Rhodes calling himself disfigured and grotesque from a simple nose injury, this has evolved into a blood feud of disastrous proportions. Made even worse by this match being an Inferno Match, this battle of the grotesques will not be for the faint of heart. Will Rhodes be able to finally quell the WWE of the monster Kane or will Kane show Rhodes what disfigurement really is?

Sean O'Haire vs. Randy Orton
In a stroke of serendipity, both Orton and O'Haire were drafted to SmackDown!, helping to fulfill O'Haire's plans to reach the top of the WWE by eliminating those who enjoyed the spotlight long before him. Orton is O'Haire's last target and after much prodding, Orton has agreed to take up the psychotic up-and-comer on his challenge but will it be a wasted effort in a last stand or will Orton prove to be too much?

World Heavyweight Title: Jason Collins (c) vs. Ted DiBiase, Jr.
See championship roll call above.

Results later.

And now, Judgment Day! Your hosts, Joey Styles and Matt Striker.

Ian Moore vs John Bradshaw Leyfield : Rude Awakening on Ian Moore by JBL. Full nelson slam on Moore. There's a two count on the pin. Moore blocks the suplex attempt. JBL gets caught with a belly to belly suplex from Moore. Flying elbow from Ian Moore. Cover for a two count. Back heel kick off the second rope, JBL goes flying. Cover, but there's a last second kick-out. Ian Moore hits a rolling kick on JBL. John Bradshaw Leyfield ducks a clothesline attempt. Moore walks into a spike slam. There's a two count on the pin. Lifting DDT by John Bradshaw Leyfield, looked good. Pinfall attempt gets a 2.9999. Big backdrop on Moore, executed well. Stiff chop lights up Moore. JBL drops an elbow...but misses. Fate can be so cruel. Big clothesline on JBL. Double Arm DDT by Moore, JBL got destroyed. John Bradshaw Leyfield can barely stand. Here it comes - Epiphany. 1....2...3, it's finished. That was good. **** rating.

Sean O'Haire moves in for the kill. Cruel Intentions!!! That shook the ring. 1....2....3!! Great match, a ****1\4 rating i think.

Wait a minute. Looking back at the replay, Orton was pretty close to the ropes. Orton had his foot on the bottom rope but O'Haire blocked the ref's view of it and he kicked it off after the referee counted the pin and called for the bell. Orton appears to have been screwed somewhat.

Ted DiBiase, Jr. vs Jason Collins (For The World Heavyweight Title) : Double arm suplex by Jason Collins, DiBiase hits hard. DiBiase kicks Jason Collins in the gut to reverse the momentum. DiBiase slams Jason Collins. DiBiase whips Collins into the turnbuckles...and predictably, the referee gets sandwiched. Devastating Tiger Driver 91 very nearly crushes the neck of Collins. Misawa is probably laughing with glee at the moment. Cover, but there's no one to count for Ted DiBiase, Jr.. Here comes a second official. Jason Collins avoids a Ted DiBiase, Jr. avalanche. Hard impact russian legsweep by Collins. If you're going to get impact, 'hard' is probably a good way to go. Devastating face-first slam from Collins on DiBiase. Cover for a two count. Springboard dropkick from Jason Collins. Nicely done. Cover, but there's a last second kick-out. Ted DiBiase, Jr. elbows Jason Collins in the face to break a hammerlock. DiBiase looks for Dream Street but Collins pushes off the turnbuckle and it's Survivor Series 1996 all over again as the two fall back. The referee counts...1...2...3! Your winner....and new World Heavyweight Champion, Ted DiBiase? Wait, the original referee has come over to the timekeeper and announcer and discusses something. Your winner and still World Champion, Jason Collins!!! It appears we have conflicting reports over whose shoulders were down. DiBiase is adamant that he's won.

IF YOU SMELL.....!!! Here comes the SmackDown! GM to try make sense of everything. The refs each plead their case. The Rock calls for the replay. It appears that DiBiase may have gotten a shoulder up but it's hard to tell. The Rock demands that the match be restarted!!! DiBiase is irate.

Ted DiBiase, Jr. vs. Jason Collins: Round Two: DiBiase tries Dream Street agains but Collins falls forward causing DiBiase to fall into the turnbuckle. Jason Collins moves in for the kill. Here it comes - Fall From Heaven. 1....2...3, it's finished. Great match, a ****1\4 rating i think.

Winner and still champion: Jason Collins via pinfall after restart.

DiBiase isn't finished and proceeds to just destroy Collins after the bell. Dream Street through the announce table!!! We go off the air with DiBiase holding the World Heavyweight Title over his head.

Overall rating: 92%

End of the month proceedings:
Ivory has left TNA. I might snag her as a manager if I can convince her to become one. Otherwise, meh.

William Regal has become a non-wrestler. Good thing I didn't book him to go over at Judgment Day.

The Rock will retire at the end of the month. Well, we needed a new GM on SmackDown!. Regal might fit. Or HBK. We'll see how it goes.

It's weird...I'm a detail freak but TEW just doesn't do it for me. It takes ages to book a show. You pretty much HAVE to switch WWE to a cutting edge promotion instead of sports entertainment because otherwise you need to book a ton of promos or else the fans will be pissed off.

Everytime I give it another chance I give up within a week's worth of shows.

So I've been playing TEW now and I've actually gotten around the whole need to book a lot of promos thing naturally through my attention to detail too.

I book EVERY little thing. Opening pyros, upcoming match graphics before commercials, workers walking to the ring before commercial, rundowns of the upcoming PPV by the announcers, etc. I'm running TNA as sports entertainment and I've yet to have a problem with not enough non-wrestling through 20 shows.

MARCH 18, 2005 - SMACKDOWN!

The first show with the new SmackDown! roster kicks off with two guys looking to catch the eye of the WWE brass as Harlowe takes on Richard J. Criado. Unfortunately, the guy whose eye they caught was Randy Orton, who slides into the ring, hitting both men with an RKO and leaving them laying.

The Cruiserweight Division is still going strong on Friday nights, and we have a ten-man tag match to prove it. Nova brings Air Paris, Derrick King, Spike Dudley, and the returning Grandmaster Sexay to take on The Miz, Matt Stryker, Pepper Parks, Avery Thompson, and the debut of... CHRIS FUCKING SABIN! (copyright TPWW 2005). Exciting match, but Sabin is the real star here, picking up the win by hitting King with the Future Shock.

Just Joe returns to a "Who?" response, but that's okay because his match with the debuting Shark Boy wins them over by the end. One Deep Sea Drop later, and the skinny guy with a shark mask is 1-0!

Nunzio and Chris Kanyon team with a debuting Michael Shane to take on the SAT (Joel and Jose Maximo) and the returning X-Pac, whose pop nearly blows the roof off the arena. Another exciting match showcasing the cruiserweights that former champion Pac wins with the X-Factor on Shane.

Shelton Benjamin and Chavo Guerrero are out next, and they put on a solid match to show that there are some WWE mainstays that are hungry for an opportunity on the new-look Friday Night SmackDown! Shelton wins an excellent technical encounter with the Dragon Whip. He offers his hand to Chavo, but is shunned and Chavo walks to the back to a chorus of boos.

United States Champion Damien teams with a debuting Steve Corino in our next contest as they take on Corino's fellow debuting ECW alumni Perry Saturn and Sandman in a tag match! Decent match that doesn't live up to the previous few. In the end, miscommunication between the heels allows Saturn to hit Corino with a Death Valley Driver. After the match, Damien chokeslams Corino and walks off angrily.

Fortunately, after the disappointing match that preceded it, the Rey Mysterio/Randy Orton match is a masterpiece. The crowd is 100% into it as both men hit all of their signature high spots. Rey gets the clean win with the West Coast Pop, but Orton hits an RKO after the bell to get some of his heat back. This definitely looks like it could be the start of a huge program here on SmackDown!

Due to Rene Dupree being future endeavored, the WWE Tag Team Titles are vacant and up-for-grabs in this four-team elimination match! It's the Dudley Boyz vs. M'n'M vs. the Hardy Boyz vs. the debuting team of Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo! The rookies are the first to go as "Primetime" Skipper eats a Twist of Fate from Cruiserweight Champion Matt Hardy Version 2.0. The Dudleyz put M'n'M away with the 3-D, only for Bubba to get taken out by a surprise Swanton from Jeff Hardy allowing the boys from Cameron to steal the match and the belts!

Tajiri is backstage, being pumped up by Don Callis. The former Jackal is hyping up the Buzzsaw for his next match.

And his hype must have worked, because the match between Tajiri and Rhyno is our second Match of the Year candidate! Absolutely brutal contest between the former Network partners ends with Callis distracting his former charge, allowing Tajiri to blast the Kick Of Death for the win. After the match, Callis eats a Gore and Tajiri cuts and runs. This is definitely not the last we've seen of these two!

And in our main event, SmackDown!'s new top title is introduced when NWA World Champion Jeff Jarrett makes his return in a match against Eddie Guerrero. It's a good match, but Jarrett takes advantage of a ref bump to blast Eddie with his trademark guitar and pick up the cheap win. Once Eddie regains consciousness, he goes right after Jarrett, and the show fades to black with the two still brawling!

MARCH 21, 2005 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW

Raw kicks off with WWE Chairman Eric Bischoff makes his way to the ring, and he's smiling. Which can't POSSIBLY be a good thing. The announcers speculate on the identity of the third man on the RAW Authority Committee, hype a seven-man gauntlet for a Television Title shot at Backlash and the huge champion-vs-champion main event as he enters the ring. "Well, I'm sure you heard the news from this weekend. Nineteen Superstars getting their walking papers. What you probably missed was the thirty-seven developmental deals that were cut as well. Well, here's the deal. And this is not a knock on any of these fifty-six men and women, but I have a business to run. There were almost 200 people under my watch and - great as I am - there's just no way to get all of them into six hours of television a week. Which leads me to the point of this whole thing: competition. This whole business is about who wants it more. And we're going to find out. Starting Wednesday night on Superstars, we're going to have a series of battle royals. Ten men in each match. The winner will receive a title shot later in the night. And you want to survive as long as you can. Because I'm going to randomly pick a number while the match is going on. And whatever number I draw, I'm going to fire that many of the participants, in the order they were eliminated. I'm calling it Feast Or Famine. One man may win a title. Nine may lose their jobs. Let's get to competing!"

Our opening match tonight pits Mickie James and newcomer Trinity against Jazz and Molly Holly. These four have to be considered among the top contenders for the Women's Title, which is up in the air due to Trish Stratus' injury. Solid match between the four Divas that Mickie is set to win with her tornado DDT on Molly. As she swings up into the air, Trinity snatches her out of midair and slams her down. Mickie is in shock and walks right into the Molly Go Round, giving the heels the win. After the match, Victoria and Gail Kim hit the ring to make the save, driving off the three heels. (80% overall for a divas' tag match?)

The TV Title #1 Contender gauntlet kicks off as Erik Watts takes on the Disco Inferno. Pretty bland match that Disco wins with the Chartbuster.

Disco recovers from the abuse he sustained at the larger man's hands. "Oh, you didn't know?!?" The crowd erupts as the D-O-Double-G makes his way to the ring. Slightly better match than its predecessor that Road Dogg wins with the Dogg Pound.

As Dogg celebrates, he gets blindsided by Buff Bagwell. After a brief beatdown, Buff hits the Blockbuster for the win.

The hour one main event is another gauntlet match as Bagwell takes on Rob Van Dam. Best match of the gauntlet so far, which isn't really saying much, but a solid match. RVD hits a Five-Star Frogsplash for the win to move on.

It's a battle of the frogsplashes next as RVD battles D'Lo Brown, and they pick right up where they left off last week in a fantastic match. D'Lo grabs a handful of tights on a roll-up for the cheap win, knocking RVD out of contention. RVD walks off in anger as D'Lo celebrates being one win away from a TV Title shot.

Taiyo Kea is D'Lo's last opponent in the series, and D'Lo definitely takes him lightly. However during a moment of distraction, RVD returns to the ring and takes D'Lo out with a big kick allowing Kea to hit the Hawaiian Smasher for the upset victory! Afterwards, RVD hits the Five-Star Frogsplash and plays to the crowd. He winds up hitting another and another, which pops the crowd huge before walking off, leaving D'Lo laying.

Stephanie McMahon is backstage, and she congratulates Kea on his win and makes the Backlash match official - Brock Lesnar defending the Television Title against Taiyo Kea!

And now for our huge main event as the WWE Champion The Rock takes on Television Champion Brock Lesnar. Neither title is on the line, but a ton of bragging rights are. These two continue to show that they have remarkable chemistry as they put on another great show. The end comes as Rock prepares to hit the Rock Bottom, only to get blindsided by a flying leg lariat from Sabu! The homicidal, genocidal, suicidal, death-defying maniac goes to work on Rock, picking up on what he did last week.

"Pomp And Circumstance" hits the speakers, and the crowd erupts. The announcers lose their shit as "Macho Man" Randy Savage comes to the ring. He gets in Sabu's face and tells him that what he just did to Rock may have flown in those other places, but that's not the way we do things here. If Sabu wants his shot at The Rock, he'll get it. But he has to wait until Backlash! Rock and Sabu stare each other down as RAW fades to black.

MARCH 23, 2005 - SUPERSTARS

As Superstars kicks off, the ring is full of... well... superstars. The night is kicking off with the Feast Or Famine battle royal! The winner will challenge Dave Batista for the Intercontinental Title later tonight. And Eric Bischoff has said that any number of competitors in this match could wind up in the unemployment line. The longer you last, the better your chance of keeping your job!

The match starts with the typical battle royal clusterfuck brawling as Akio, BJ Whitmer, Brian Kendrick, Christian York, Chuck Palumbo, Funaki, Johnny Stamboli, Julio Dinero, Payne, and Trent Acid go to work. Christian York ensures that Dinero is the first casualty and walks to the back dejected. Unless Eric Bischoff draws a zero tonight, Dinero knows he's gone! The rest of the ring watches him walk away, each man knowing that there's a distinct chance that their careers, too, may be over. York strikes again, breaking the silence by cheap-shotting Payne and dumping him to the floor. From there, the match returns to chaos. York's New Generation teammate Whitmer is the next one out, thanks to Chuck Palumbo. Meanwhile Palumbo's partner Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli makes quick work of Brian Kendrick, Akio, and Trent Acid, and there are four men remaining.

The odds are in the favor of each man in the ring for keeping his job, but nobody wants to take the chance, and they all want the title opportunity. York's reign of terror comes to an end next as Funaki dumps him out. From there, Funaki realizes he's outnumbered by the Natural Born Thrillers. Stamboli and Palumbo take turns taking shots at Funaki, and - indeed - things don't look good. Palumbo winds up for a Jungle Kick, but Funaki ducks it, and Palumbo's momentum sends him over the top and to the floor! Funaki turns around in shock, only to get blasted by Fugettabout It and bundled out. Johnny The Bull wins the Feast Or Famine match!

Vince Russo (?!?) appears on the TitanTron and announces that Eric Bischoff put him in charge of discipline for the Superstars roster, starting with Feast Or Famine. He has arrived to announce who is departing.

"Julio Dinero?
Gone.
Payne?
Fired.
BJ Whitmer?
Terminated.
Brian Kendrick?
Unemployed.
Akio?
...safe.

"Mister Bischoff drew the number four tonight, so Dinero, Payne, Whitmer, and Kendrick are off to the unemployment line. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors. And let that be a warning to the rest of the Superstars roster: Vince Russo is your new Director Of Authority, and you will respect me!"

Back from break, Natural Born Thrillers Sean O'Haire and Mike Sanders are in the ring. Their stablemates Stamboli and Palumbo looked good in the battle royal, and they're looking for a similar showing in this non-title match against America's Most Wanted. Solid tag match between the two duos, but the rise of AMW continues as they hit Sanders with the Death Sentence for the win. Afterwards, O'Haire gets in Sanders' face, blaming him for the loss.

A short video plays, hyping A-Train, trying to make him still look relevant.

Another tag match follows with Rico Constantino and The Hurricane teaming up to take on the "Hip-Hop Heels" Konnan and Ron Killings. Decent match that doesn't live up to the one before it ends with Konnan getting Rico to tap out to the Tequila Sunrise.

Backstage, Paul Heyman hypes up Shane Douglas, saying that the Franchise of Wednesday nights is here!

The X Division is on display in our next match as Paul London takes on Kid Kash. The match would likely be better if Kash put more into it, but it's still pretty good. London misses a London Calling attempt, but lands on his feet, only to be rolled up by Kash, who gets his feet on the middle rope for leverage. Kash steals one! Afterwards, London and Kash brawl up the ramp and out of view.

Backstage, Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho of the Nova Scotia Cosa Nostra talk some trash about John Cena and X Champion AJ Styles, hyping their six-man tag main event as well as continuing the feud that started last week.

Our next match is for the Intercontinental Championship! "Nature Boy" Dave Batista has a distinct advantage, both as the defending champion, and the fact that Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli already had to fight nine men not only to earn this match but to keep his job! Stamboli is definitely feeling the effects of FoF early, as Batista pummels him with punches and clotheslines. Stamboli gets in some hope spots, but Batista works him up for a Batista Bomb only for The Bull to punch his way out of it and hit Fugettabout It out of nowhere for the surprise three-count. Batista is stunned, and - honestly - so is Stamboli as he lifts the Intercontinental Title in triumph!

Back from commercial, the arena is in total darkness. A heavy metal riff hits and the same strobes we saw last week light up the crowd. When they come back up, the icon Sting is in the ring, baseball bat in hand. He points the bat at the ramp, then makes the "belty" motion. Sting wants Christian!

Cena and Styles come to the ring, as they're Sting's partners for this match. "Just Close Your Eyes" hits, and the arena erupts in a chorus of boos as the World Champion Christian comes to the ring with Benoit and Jericho. It's Sting, Cena, and Styles versus the Nova Scotia Cosa Nostra! The crowd is hot for the match, and all six main-eventers play to them. Eventually the match breaks down into chaos, and Sting takes advantage by setting up for the Scorpion Death Drop. Christian wriggles his way out of it and twists his way into the Unprettier for the win!

She raises Victoria up...but then falls backward, getting crushed by her opponent in the process! Victoria is on top! 1....2....3! Looking at the replay, it appears that Victoria had taken a chain out of her tights and wrapped it around her fist! Mickie James must have been punched with that chain while in mid-powerbomb! What a cheap shot! A ****1\4 rating, great bout.

MARCH 25, 2005 - SMACKDOWN!

Two championship matches, plus the second Feast Or Famine battle royal and a huge tag-team main event headline tonight's edition of SmackDown! But first, it's tag team action as the Dudley Boyz take on the team of Just Joe and Michael Shane. Joe and Shane work pretty well together as a team, but the experience advantage of Bubba and D-Von proves to be too much and Shane falls to the 3-D.

Back from commercial, ten superstars have filled the ring. Two nights ago, four Superstars superstars were given their pink slips. Eric Bischoff will be sending a representative to fire up to nine tonight, depending on the random number he draws. One man will face Damien for the United States Title tonight, everyone else is at risk! The match goes on for a while before the first elimination, but Avery Thompson is the first to go, courtesy of "Primetime" Elix Skipper. Thompson knows that unless Bischoff draws a zero, his WWE career has just come to an end. Shortly thereafter, Grandmaster Sexay dropkicks Spike Dudley over the top and to the floor. John Morrison sends Kid Romeo out next, followed by Air Paris taking out Chris FUCKING Sabin. Morrison gets his second elimination, sending Primetime out after Sabin, then quickly adds Joel Maximo to his hit list. But he takes a moment to celebrate, which allows Sexay to eliminate him as well. Then there were three, and one of them will face Damien for the United States Title tonight! Paris is the eighth man out, courtesy of Nova, leaving Nova and Grandmaster Sexay as the final two! The two friends put on a decent cruiserweight exhibition, but in the end it's Nova hitting the Spin Doctor allowing him to dump Sexay to the floor and earn the title shot.

"Psycho" hits the speakers, and the crowd isn't quite sure what to make of it until Sid (?!?) appears on the ramp dressed in an impossibly big suit. He announces that he's Eric Bischoff's disciplinary representative on SmackDown! He requests that the ten participants in the battle royal re-enter the ring. He says that, unlike Vince Russo on Wednesday night, he's not going to just read names. Because he is the master (and ruler) on Friday nights, he's going to do things his own way. He enters the ring and stares down the the ten of them. He then quickly turns and blasts Avery Thompson with a big boot to the face. He grips Spike Dudley around the throat and chokeslams him! He then grabs Kid Romeo and plants him with a powerbomb! He wheels on Chris Sabin who strikes a fighting pose. Sid starts laughing, then walks off. "If you're still standing, Mister Bischoff will see you in the ring next week."

Six-man cruiserweight action is next as X-Pac teams with Shark Boy and Jose Maximo to take on Chavo Guerrero, Nunzio, and one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Jeff Hardy. Decent match, but disappointing considering some of the talents involved. The heels get the win after Hardy hits the Swanton Bomb on Shark Boy.

Earlier tonight, Nova outlasted nine SmackDown superstars to earn this shot against the monstrous United States Champion Damien! Nova bumps like a madman for Damien, but he eventually catches the champion with a surprise high-flying move and takes advantage. Damien gets himself into a corner, and the referee pulls Nova off. As he turns to check on Damien, a mysterious masked man in green blasts Nova with a steel chair from behind! He slides out of the ring, allowing Damien to hit a Chokeslam for the win. After the match, Damien and his skull-masked associate put the boots to Nova. Damien gets Nova up on his shoulders for an electric chair while the man in green heads up to the top rope. He leaps off, then grabs the back of Nova's neck as Damien releases, turning the move into a modified Flatliner off his shoulders!

Damien grabs a microphone after the beating. He introduces his new associate as former WCW star Mortis. Together, they are going to take over Friday nights. Because starting tonight, there is no stopping Darkness Rising!

Three ECW alumni are out next for a three-way hardcore match as Perry Saturn, Sandman, and Steve Corino go toe-to-toe(-to-toe?). Terrible match that Corino puts to a merciful end by hitting the Old School Explosion on Sandman.

Last week, Eddie Guerrero failed to win the NWA Title after getting blasted in the head by Jeff Jarrett's guitar. Tonight, he has another chance to walk away with gold as he faces Cruiserweight Champion Matt Hardy Version 2.0! At one point, Eddie hits the Three Amigos, then heads to the top rope. However, he is distracted by Jarrett, who walks out onto the ramp. The momentary distraction allows Matt to slam Eddie from the top and hit the Twist of Fate for the win. After the match, Jarrett again takes Eddie out with a guitar shot.

The NWA Champion remains in the ring after the break, and he's got a match against Shelton Benjamin. Solid match that Jarrett wins with the Stroke. Afterwards, Eddie gets a measure of revenge, jumping Jarrett and hitting a Frogsplash! The camera catches a glimpse of Shelton Benjamin's bloody nose afterwards. Preliminary reports are that it's broken, but he shouldn't miss any time.

Randy Orton is in the ring after the break, talking about his loss to Rey Mysterio last week. He says that actions always have consequences. And for what Rey did last week, there will most certainly be a Backlash.

Tajiri comes to the ring next, as he's Orton's partner in tonight's main event against Mysterio and the manbeast Rhyno!

Rey. Rey counters a sleeper hold by turning it into a jaw breaker. Rey hits a dropkick on Randy Orton. Tag between Rey Mysterio and Rhyno. Rhyno bodyslams Randy Orton. Tag to Tajiri. Flying shoulder tackle by Rhyno sends Tajiri to the mat. Tajiri is in trouble. Gore! GORE! GOOOOOOOORE!!! That shook the ring. 1....2....3!! The fight has started up again! Rey \ Rhyno attacks Orton \ Tajiri, and they brawl all around ringside, then into the crowd! They eventually disappear backstage, still fighting. A **** rating for a good contest. Very good tag match that ends with Rhyno hitting the Gore and the babyfaces stand tall as we fade to black.

I know this probably belongs in the video games or another forum, but it is primarily wrestling related so I figured it was a good place to get opinions, etc.

I was reminded earlier of my days playing Promotion Wars and Extreme Warfare. How many of you guys used to play or still play games like Promotion Wars, Extreme Warfare or Total Extreme Warfare?

I always loved being head booker/creative. I haven't played any of these games in years and would love to possibly start playing again. Does anyone know if/how I can get these games on my Macbook without running an emulator like Windows Parallel?

Also, feel free to share any of your best storylines/feuds if you used to or still play. I'd love to hear or get some ideas if I actually do get back into playing.

Would probably be a lot easier to do the intros for my action figure promotion these days with being able to play their songs from a laptop/iPod/whatever, rather than having to keep changing CD's.

CSL

08-27-2011, 07:36 PM

yeahhh, that would have been amazing

closest I ever came to doing that was recording Ted DiBiase's music off the TV onto a cassette, making some variety of arena/entrance way from cereal/small cardboard boxes, decorating them with WWF stickers that I already had in my sticker book and making DiBiase vs. Virgil in my mini-arena the biggest match since Hogan/Andre

Lol yeah I pushed Kurrgan to the main event because for a while him, Goldust and Al Snow were the only actual wrestling action figures I had. Also I didn't even have many CD's back then so pretty much everybodies entrance themes were off The Offspring's 'Americana' or Greenday's 'Nimrod'.

When I think back I was definitely a very solid booker considering my age, although the 12 man elimination match (in which you get eliminated by being both pinned AND submitted) for the world title may have been a bit much.

I just wrapped up a successful Backlash 2017 and in the process of building towards Judgment Day. I have some new wrestlers fresh from developmental to help break up some of the monotony. I've got Kane retiring at the end of the month and I might as well use him to help put one of the new guys over. Here are some quick results from Backlash:

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Mark Mason defeated Don Maiden to retain the title. 93%

Evan Bourne pinned Cash Stevens. 92%

WWE U.S. Heavyweight Champion Pete Shapiro pinned Drew McIntyre to retain the title. 94%

WWE Diva's Champion Natalya pinned Nicole Durgan to retain the title. 92%

AJ Styles and newly turned CM Punk defeated The Status Quo to win the WWE Unified Tag Team Titles. 97% (!)

Mr. Kennedy pinned Jack Swagger. 91%

Chris Sylvain defeated Batista by DQ. 94%

The Miz pinned Kofi Kingston in a triple threat match also involving WWE Champion John Morrison to win the title for a second time. 86%

Overall rating: 93%

For some reason, everything Kingston touches turns to crap despite some very impressive stats and wrestling guys who are also awesome. I'm thinking of just jobbing him out for a while to put over some new guys and just letting him go. Anywho, over on Raw, the Status Quo storyline is going to continue to evolve, Miz and Morrison have one more date with destiny, and Styles and Punk are going to try to make this tag title reign work. Over on SmackDown!, Rhodes and DiBiase are at odds, Ian Moore is taking his first steps towards being a successful World Heavyweight Champion, Sean Criss is eager to cash in his Money in the Bank contract but is apparently on the shelf, Sheamus and Rhyno seem to enjoy beating the hell out of each other, and newcomer Apocalypse has laid out the challenge to the Big Red Machine Kane! And best of all? No Mark Henry!!! Stay tuned!!!

Championship roll call:

World Heavyweight Champion: Ian Moore; won title at WrestleMania 33 from Jason Collins. Next scheduled defense: Judgment Day against Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase in a triple threat match

WWE Champion: The Miz; won title at Backlash 2017 from John Morrison in a triple threat match also involving Kofi Kingston. Next scheduled defense: John Morrison in a ladder match in two weeks on Raw

WWE U.S. Heavyweight Champion: Pete Shapiro; won title at Survivor Series 2016 from Cash Stevens. No upcoming defenses scheduled.

WWE Intercontinental Champion: MVP; won title at WrestleMania 33 from Cody Rhodes in a triple threat match also involving Bryan Danielson. Next scheduled defense: Sean O'Haire at Judgment Day

MARCH 28, 2005 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW

Tonight, the last Feast or Famine battle royal will result in at least one RAW Superstar losing his job while another will battle Brock Lesnar for the Television Title later on. A huge tag team main event will feature three men with Backlash in their sights, and Stephanie McMahon will have an announcement about the state of the Women's Title.

But first, six of the more popular members of the RAW roster meet up in a tag match. In a twist, whoever takes the fall will be entered in the FoF battle royal and may lose his job or may earn a shot at Brock Lesnar's TV Title! New Jack teams with the New Age Outlaws to take on Erik Watts, Rick Steiner, and Sonny Siaki. Gunn plays the babyface in peril early until he manages to tag in New Jack, who goes to work on Siaki. In a smart move, the Outlaws, Steiner, and Siaki do most of the heavy lifting for the match, with Gunn finishing off Steiner with the Fame-Ass-Er. Rick Steiner now has to face nine other men to keep his job tonight. After the match, Watts is favoring his arm, and it looks to be a bicep injury.

Two of the more gimmicky members of the RAW roster are up next as Val Venis takes on Disco Inferno. Solid match between the two veterans that ends with Val hitting the Money Shot.

The ring is full as we come back from break as ten men enter the Feast or Famine battle royal. Remember, the winner will face Brock Lesnar later tonight for the Television Title. The first man eliiminated will lose his job, and anywhere from zero to eight more will join him in the unemployment line, thanks to a random draw from Eric Bischoff. The longer you last, the better your chance of survival! Unfortunately, we know Test is gone, as Sylvan Grenier takes him out early. Co-Tag Team Champion Ron Simmons is in danger as well as Grenier's former partner Rob Conway takes him out. Conway's current partner Nick Dinsmore takes out Tommy Dreamer, then Grenier gets a second elim by dumping Simon Diamond to the floor. In a surprise, Haas eliminates the man who turned him to the darkside, Undertaker, and the man in black is not happy. Grenier's run comes to an end at the hands of Dinsmore, while Haas continues to look good, taking out Conway. It's down to Dinsmore, Haas, and Steiner for a shot at Lesnar! Haas eliminates Steiner, then turns right into a big German suplex from Dinsmore that allows the Lord Of The Ring to win the battle royal and earn the title shot!

Al Snow appears on the TitanTron and tells us what we already know, that Test has been fired. He then goes on to say that Mister Bischoff drew the number four earlier tonight, which means that Ron Simmons, Tommy Dreamer, and Simon Diamond will be joining him. With Ron Simmons fired, what does that mean for the World Tag Team Titles?

Back from break, Stephanie McMahon is in the ring with the Women's Title. She announces that, due to the injury suffered by Trish Stratus, the title is now vacant and tonight, we will see the beginning of a seven-Diva tournament to crown a new champion. Former champion Mickie James has a first-round bye and will face the winner of our first match next week on RAW!

The first two Divas to compete are former champions Gail Kim and Molly Holly. They put on a fantastic display of what the WWE Women's Division is all about with Molly picking up a clean win with the Molly Go Round to advance.

The division's two best high-fliers are up next as Lita faces Trinity. At one point during the match, Trinity uncovers the top turnbuckle, which comes into play when she slingshots Lita face-first into it, then rolls her up with her feet on the ropes for the cheap win. Trinity hops the barrier and flees through the crowd to prevent Lita from getting her revenge.

Our final first-round tournament match pits two of the division's mainstays Victoria and Jazz against each other one more time. Solid match, but not quite on par with the Molly/Gail masterpiece from earlier. In the end, it's Victoria hitting the Widow's Peak for the big win.

Back from commercial, "Macho Man" Randy Savage is in the ring! He says that he personally banned Rob Van Dam and D'Lo Brown from the building tonight, since they can't seem to co-exist in the same arena. With that in mind, he's going to give them a chance to settle their differences at Backlash!

Earlier tonight, Nick Dinsmore won the Feast or Famine battle royal to earn this next match. Brock Lesnar, the first-ever WWE Television Champion is eager to prove why he's still the best in the business, and he puts on a show tonight. Dinsmore looks like a million bucks by keeping up for the first part of the match, but Lesnar puts him away with the F-5 for the clean win. After the match, Lesnar continues to pummel Dinsmore with hard punches before walking off with the title.

In our main event, the man who will challenge for the TV Title at Backlash, Taiyo Kea teams with WWE Champion The Rock to face Rock's Backlash opponent Sabu and co-Tag Team Champion (for how much longer?) John Layfield! Solid match between these four that ends with Lesnar making his presence felt again as he confronts Kea, allowing Sabu to take him out with an Arabian Facebuster. After the match, the three heels work over Rock and Kea as we fade to black.

Sabu got planted. Cover, but there's a last second kick-out. Taiyo Kea uses move #193 (arm-BAR). Sabu comes up with a right hand out of nowhere. Sabu DDTs Kea, although it was hardly executed with pin-point precision. Brock Lesnar has climbed up onto the apron! Kea turns...and falls for the distraction! Sabu attacks Kea from behind! Sabu has Taiyo Kea down on the canvas and is ascending the corner. Arabian Facebuster!!! 1....2....3!! It's all over. Kea \ Rock are left down and out in the ring thanks to the attack of Layfield, Sabu and Lesnar. Worth a ** rating, but no more than that.

MARCH 23, 2005 - SUPERSTARS

Tonight promises to be a huge night for the newly-streamlined Superstars roster, as a huge triple main event has been booked! Sting will take on Chris Jericho, John Cena will take on Chris Benoit, and in our main event it's Champion vs. Champion as AJ Styles goes one-on-one with Christian! Plus, the NWA Tag Team Titles will be on the line, and we expect huge fall-out from Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli's improbable Intercontinental Title victory last week.

But we kick things off with X-Division action as The Hurricane goes one-on-one with "Above Average" Mike Sanders! Exciting match that gets the crowd off to a red-hot start, and it goes back and forth several times. Eventually, though, Hurricane catches Sanders with the Eye of the Hurricane for the win.

Sanders remains in the ring as the rest of the Natural Born Thrillers join him, finished off by the arrival of Intercontinental Champion Johnny Stamboli. It is announced that Stamboli will be facing off against Sean O'Haire in his first title defense, and O'Haire points to the mat, indicating that Stamboli should lay down for him. Stamboli looks at O'Haire like he's crazy. O'Haire gives him a look that shows he's serious. Sanders stands behind O'Haire with his arms crossed, nodding. Stamboli appeals to Chuck Palumbo who shakes his head. Stamboli nods and waves Palumbo and Sanders out of the ring. The bell sounds... and Stamboli nails O'Haire with a Mamaluke DDT! The ref counts the pin, but O'Haire pops up and blasts Stamboli with the Prophecy.

After the match, Sanders and Palumbo join O'Haire in the ring and put the boots to Stamboli. O'Haire grabs a microphone and talks about how Stamboli had the opportunity to do the right thing by his oldest friends, but he just threw away five years of friendship for material gain. Well, the Thrillers have been needing a new target, and Stamboli just gave them one. But he's not telling us anything we didn't already know!

In a match that Paul London asked for in a WWE.com exclusive, he attempts to show off his technical acumen against William Regal. It's a very good match, but Regal manages to keep London grounded for most of the action, putting him away with the Regal Stretch for what has to be considered a bit of an upset.

The NWA Tag Team Titles are on the line in our next contest as America's Most Wanted take on the team of Konnan and Ron Killings. The champs look like they have the match in control when they're blindsided by the team of Christian York and Trent Acid! York clamps Storm in the Irish Cloverleaf, and the referee calls for the bell. The duo continue to work over the champs.

Suddenly, the upstarts are joined in the ring by the "Sinister Minister" Jim Mitchell. He grabs a microphone and announces that what we're looking at is two of the hungriest young stars in WWE, and the next NWA Tag Team Champions. He says that Acid and Chris Reign (York's new name, apparently) are his newest proteges and will not rest until they are champions!

More X Division action is next as Frankie Kazarian goes to war with Kid Kash. Decent match, but not as good as the Hurricane/Sanders match from earlier. Kash picks up the win with Cha Ching.

The first of our three main events is a barn-burner as John Cena and Chris Benoit put on one of the best matches of the year thus far! The crowd is completely 100% into the action, hanging on every near-fall. AJ Styles makes his presence felt, distracting Benoit (who's been a thorn in his side since his WWE debut), allowing Cena to hit the F-U. After the match, Chris Jericho comes to the ring to even the sides.

"Nature Boy" Dave Batista cuts a pre-taped promo about how his loss to Johnny Stamboli last week opened his eyes. He had grown complacent in his role, but no more. He's not going to let the lifestyle he's been running interfere with his career. He's going to be World Champion one day, and that journey begins tonight. No more wheeling and dealing. No more limousine-riding, jet-flying. It's time for this Leviathan to get back to his roots and destroy people!

Our second main event begins after the break, pitting WCW alumni Sting and Chris Jericho against each other. Solid contest that is marred by the interference of Christian, who drags Sting out of the ring to result in a DQ. Christian and Jericho go to work on Sting until John Cena makes the save by running off Vitamin C.

The final match of the evening is a non-title, champion-versus-champion encounter between World Champion Christian and X-Division Champion AJ Styles! The match is as exciting as you would expect with several near-falls. Just like the previous matches, though, this one is spoiled by interference. This time, it's Chris Benoit shouting threats at Styles that allows Christian to hit the Unprettier for the win. Sting makes the save, and the babyfaces stand tall as Superstars comes to an end.

I've been considering doing a new game under the premise that the Monday Night Wars never ended.

Bischoff was able to buy WCW from Turner through his production company, and moved Nitro and Thunder to USA, who wanted new wrestling programming after the WWF jumped to Spike TV.

The WWF, not wanting to change their identity in the face of continued competition, settled out of court with the Fund to be allowed continued use of the initials for an annual donation.

Paul Heyman goes into business with his friend Cary Silkin, who was considering starting his own promotion, but instead helps keep ECW afloat by bringing in a cadre of top independent stars.

Basically, I'd play as all three promotions, posting results, ratings, and buyrates as I go. But, I don't know what kind of interest there is anymore.

This is pretty much what happens with me with TEW. Just randomly turned it on tonight but the company I'm running is only doing monthly shows so I started just "Next day"ing it. Gotta do that 27 times and it takes a couple minutes to get to the next day. By the time I finally hit the next show, I'll forget about the game and not come back to it for a while.

WWF 1993

It's 1993. WWF has just been to Caesar's Palace for Wrestlemania IX, and the events have changed the WWF forever.

Ric Flair, having been off TV since a loser leaves town match to Mr. Perfect towards the end of 1992 returned and appeared to align with Lex Luger after attacking Mr. Perfect and costing him the WrestleMania match. It had been rumoured that Flair had asked to be let out of his contract, and after considering it, Vince McMahon, WWF supremo had decided against it. He has instead been launched into a further feud with Mr. Perfect.

In the main event of the evening, Bret Hart faced Yokozuna for the WWF title. After having the Sharpshooter applied on Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji took advantage of the situation and threw salt into his eyes. Bret released the hold and then Yokozuna hit a legdrop to win the WWF title.

As Hart retreated down the aisle and Yokozuna held the title aloft, Hulk Hogan appeared to console Bret Hart. Mr. Fuji then challenged Hogan to face Yokozuna immediately for the title. Hogan took the offer and ran to the ring. The Hulkster ducked under a clothesline attempt and then knocked Yokozuna off his feet. Indicating to the fans he was going for a legdrop, Bret Hart then stormed the ring and beat down Hogan, resulting in a DQ win for Hulk, but not the title.

The bizarre finish left fans confused. How will Bret explain his actions against the Immortal Hulk Hogan to his loyal fans?

Note - the EWR 1993 scenario includes a fair amount of the guys who would go on to become superstars legit e.g. Jericho, Edge, Christian, Steve Austin, Triple H, etc. I am trying to be objective and sign people who I know would be around at set times in the game as opposed to getting all the above guys straight off the bat in the start of my game.

Monday Night Raw - Monday April 5th 1993

Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw, following the shocking conclusion of the previous nights WrestleMania IX.

Standing in the ring is none other than Mean Gene Okerlund. Bret Hart's music hits, and the Hitman makes his way out to the ring to a very mixed reception. Mean Gene asks the question that is "on everybody's lips". Why did Bret do that to Hogan, and let his fans down. Bret said that as far as he was concerned, he hasn't let anybody down, especially the fans that stuck with him over the past year while Hulk Hogan was getting a sun tan. As far as Bret is concerned, he was let down by the referee for failing to see the salt thrown in his eyes. As for what he did with Hogan, Bret was not going to let the Hulkster pull the wool over the Hitman's fans' eyes. Bret carried the belt and defended it week in, week out for six months in Hogan's absence and Hogan was not about to roll back in after one night back in the WWF and come away with the very thing that Bret has worked hard to win and keep. And if the fans have a problem with that, then maybe they never really were fans of the Excellence of Execution to begin with. Bret closes with the fact that he fights for the people, and Hogan does not.

Next up, having re-signed for the WWF, The British Bulldog made his return to TV with a quick and dominant victory over Damien Demento with a Running Powerslam.

Owen Hart and Koko B.Ware defeated The Beverly Brothers in a tag team match. Owen was particularly impressive and picked up the win with a missile dropkick from the top turnbuckle.

Ric Flair was backstage with Sean Mooney. Sean asked Ric Flair why he had returned after losing a loser leaves town match against Mr. Perfect. Flair said that he had indeed left the WWF, but President Jack Tunney had resigned him to a new deal. A deal so ludicrous that it allowed Ric to take stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' all to the next level. The Nature Boy is back baby. And he's got a little payback to dish out.

In eight man tag team action, Money Inc. and The Headshrinkers faced the Steiner Brothers and The Smoking Guns. In a relatively short match, Ted DiBiase locked in the Million Dollar Dream on Bart Gunn and the newcomer tapped out quickly.

In another debut, Dean Malenko came out to no reception from the crowd for his match with the Kamikaze Kid. A good back and forth match ended when Malenko locked in a Texas Cloverleaf.

Razor Ramon faced the plucky Virgil and won in dominant fashion with the Razor's Edge

Well, you know something Mean Gene,...that can only mean Hulk Hogan is promo-ing it up backstage. Hogan immediately challenged Yokozuna to a rematch, tonight for the WWF title. Gene asked what about Bret Hart? Hogan told Gene that he understands why Bret did what he did. It was in the heat of the moment. And when Hogan becomes the WWF champion, he will totally give Hart a match for the belt.

Mr. Perfect faced Rick "The Model" Martel in one on one action. Martel was holding his own before Flair came to ringside. Martel and Mr. perfect tumbled into the referee at a point in the match, and the referee took a none too serious bump. Flair picked up a steel chair and tried to hit Perfect, but Mr. Perfect ducked a flair nailed Rick Martel. The Model turned around right into a Perfect Plex as the referee recovered. Mr. Perfect won. Flair backed off up the aisle, mouthing off at Mr. perfect, who had a smug look on his face.

Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji came to the ring to answer Hulk Hogan's challenge. Mr. Fuji hung the Japanese flag by ringside as Yokozuna climbed into the ring with his WWF title. Mr. Fuji said that Yokozuna would be the greatest champion of all time, and would face Hogan right now. The crowd went wild as a referee sprinted to the ring.

Hulk Hogan's music hit and the Hulkster ran to the ring. It wasn't a very technical match as they brawled back and forth. Hulk Hogan had the match won after hitting the legdrop of doom as Mr. Fuji climbed up on the apron and distracted the referee. Hogan stood up from the pin attempt as Bret Hart appeared out of nowhere with the Japanese flag on a pole and broke it over Hogan's back while the referee was distracted. Yokozuna recovered and belly to belly suplexed Hogan before dragging him over to the corner and hitting a Banzai Drop. Yokozuna won the match and held the tilte aloft as Vince McMahon asked "Why Bret?" and Raw went off air.

I loved EWR, spent so much time on it. I remember one of my best fueds being Rhyno vs Kurt Angle for the WWE title, Rhyno became champ and his popularity sky rocketed.

I still have EWR on my computer and every couple of months I'll download the latest roster update in case I want to start a new game. I don't think I can book more than a month though without losing steam even if I have a million ideas floating in my head. And then once I open EWR again I feel like I want to start over because I forgot what storylines I was going for.

#1-norm-fan

08-21-2014, 08:51 PM

I had the same issue with TEW. I'd spend a few sessions booking some shows and then when I take a month break I can't get a good idea of the storylines I had going on and it's tough to get back into it.

EWR is easier for casual booking because it requires less focus. Starting a local company and trying to build it up is WAY more fun with TEW though. I'm two years in and I'm still at local drawing a crowd of less than 100 people but I've gotten to the point where I can at least break even every month. It's a cool challenge.

#1-norm-fan

08-23-2014, 03:55 AM

Some people seem to like EWR the best because of it's simplicity but personally I would say TEW 2005. It takes longer but you control so many more aspects and the ratings and stuff are more precise and harder to bring up.

SlickyTrickyDamon

08-23-2014, 07:21 AM

If you can get DosBox to work TNM is the best pure wrestling sim. It's good program to see who would actually win with complete movesets and full match results. The others are "general manager" modes rather than a wrestling simulator.

A few months ago I started a completely new fed from local and am trying to bring it up. I'm a few years in now and I've risen to a small company drawing pretty decent crowds (over 500) in the south west.

There have been a few times where I've wanted to start a WWE game but I know I wouldn't have time to focus on both and I'd end up abandoning the other game like I always do.

I think I'm going to give EWR a legitimate go again once I'm done with grad school in December. Right now I have very little free time so what time I do have I devote towards other games or the WWE Network (which can be purchased for just $9.99).

The good part about starting a game in December is that I can take it over right in time to book the road to WrestleMania.

I'll invariably re-institute the brand split like I always do, as well. Just makes it was easier for me to book.

10-22-2014, 09:47 PM

I still do my local fed game on TEW2013. About 5 years in now and I'm just barely reaching regional level. It's tough because I'm running a fed that relies equally on star power and skill but I'm trying not to go all TNA and sign nothing but guys who have recognition from WWE. I've signed a few guys with star power but I haven't been giving them the titles or anything and I've been putting my top homegrown guys over them.

I was thinking of going back to my history and recapping the first 4 and a half years and then doing a journal but this topic seems to be relatively dead still.

#1-norm-fan

10-22-2014, 09:53 PM

On another note: There should have an option to film multiple episodes of a TV show in one night. I've found ways to get around having to pay guys for multiple events while still keeping angles going but it would be easier and more realistic if I could just film four episodes of my show in one night and then air them throughout the month.

I was thinking of going back to my history and recapping the first 4 and a half years and then doing a journal but this topic seems to be relatively dead still.

Yeah, I have my doubts this topic will ever be fully revived. Many of the people who were regular contributors back when the topic got a lot of use have since left the boards. Even when Loopy and I get back into the fold it'd basically be the three of us talking to each other lol.

The best place to post journals, diaries, etc. about EWR or TEW games is EW Battleground. As best I can tell it's the only place left on the internet where there's an active wrestling sim community, and it's pretty much where all of the Adam Ryland diehards wound up.

WCW Monday Nitro 9/1/2003

The show opens with a video recapping the unbelievable events of last night's Road Wild pay-per-view. After taking #1 contender Hulk Hogan out earlier in the day, WCW World Champion Sting celebrated in the ring his lack of an opponent for the night by issuing an open challenge. The challenge was answered by none other than WCW Cruiserweight Champion "Sugar" Shane Helms. Sting toyed with Helms before the emergence of Hogan distracted Sting long enough to be rolled up. We have a new champion, and he is Shane Helms.

Mike Tenay and "Diamond" Dallas Page welcome us to the arena for Nitro as WCW Chairman Eric Bischoff's music hits. The Chairman enters the ring and calls new champion Helms out with him. He congratulates him on his victory in his typical heelish fashion. He mentions an arcane piece of WCW by-laws that do not allow champions to hold multiple titles simultaneously and announces that he's stripping Helms of the Cruiserweight Championship, effective immediately. He says that a 16-man tournament will begin Thursday night on Thunder and culminate at Fall Brawl and that tonight we'll have a 10-man cruiserweight tag exhibition featuring several of the participants.

As Bischoff leaves, his Chosen One, Jeff Jarrett emerges from the locker room. He says since Helms won the title on an open challenge, he figures he'll issue a challenge of his own. If Helms is man enough, Jarrett wants him one-on-one at Fall Brawl in three weeks.

Our opening contest is a smash-mouth encounter between a pair of WCW legends. Eventually, Big Van Vader loses his patience with being able to put Road Warrior Animal away, and blasts him with a steel chair. The pair brawl to the back afterwards. This is clearly not the last we'll see of these two.

Back from commercial, Nikita Koloff falls victim to a quick loss to "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. Koloff looks frustrated after the match, but leaves without incident.

The WCW World Tag Team Titles are on the line next as The Mamalukes Johnny The Bull and Big Vito, representing the Natural Born Thrillers defend the gold against the upstart duo of Chris Harris and James Storm, America's Most Wanted. Early on, Vito distracts the official, allowing Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo to jump Storm from ringside and Johnny The Bull picks up the cheap victory for the champs. A 4-on-2 beatdown ensues.

Backstage, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash are watching the show on a monitor. Nash marvels at the progress his former proteges have made. Hall makes a crack about Nikita Koloff still being active. "I thought he was dead." "No, you're thinking of Nikolai Volkoff." "Nikolai Volkoff is still alive." "Really? Who am I thinking of, then?" It goes on like this. Hey, at least they're not wrestling, right?

Ten participants in the Cruiserweight Title Tournament are in the ring when we return from break. Jamie Noble captains the team of Crowbar, Harry Smith, Shannon Moore, and Ultimo Dragon against Ca$h, Mike Sanders, Jason Jett, Psychosis, and "Primetime" Elix Skipper. A ton of high-flying action as the ten men get in all of their key spots. The finish comes when Smith manages to hit the veteran Psychosis with his trademark corkscrew DDT for the minor upset. Smith looks strong heading into next week's first-round matches!

AJ Styles is backstage. He says that Eric Bischoff granted him a sneak peek at the brackets for next week and he can't wait to tear Billy Kidman apart!

Our main event pits the team of Booker T and Dustin Rhodes (collectively known as "Black Dust") against nWo representatives Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger ("Totally Buff"). The match of the night features quick tags by the babyfaces early until the heels get Booker isolated. He manages a hot tag to Rhodes, who is distracted by the arrival of Scott Norton and Scott Steiner. This allows Luger to get the jump on him and apply the Torture Rack. Rhodes submits, and the beatdown is on.

But suddenly from the back, Rey Mysterio Jr., who Tenay and Page confirm is the #1 seed in the Cruiserweight tournament, comes sprinting down the aisle. He gets beaten down for a bit until he's joined by... GOLDBERG! The monstrous Goldberg begins laying waste to the nWo until he, Mysterio, Booker, and Rhodes stand tall.

The nWo is halfway up the ramp when they're greeted by WCW Executive Committee member "Macho Man" Randy Savage. He announces that in 20 nights in Atlanta, Fall Brawl will once again host War Games! Bagwell, Norton, Steiner, Luger, and the former World Champion Sting against Goldberg, Rey Mysterio Jr., Dustin Rhodes, Booker T... and THE IMMORTAL HULK HOGAN! The crowd goes nuts, the nWo goes ballistic, and Nitro goes off the air.

It's building to something bigger, but I wanted to tell a story about an unexpected title change, since there hasn't been one in so long. Hopefully the way I see the story playing out doesn't get derailed by injuries before the big Starrcade payoff. I'm not particularly optimistic about Fall Brawl being very good, since most of my top guys are tied up in one match, but hopefully Starrcade redeems it. Going out of town tomorrow for a couple days, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to post Raw or Extreme TV, but I wanted to get a start on this before I lost my motivation again.

Triple H and Stephanie go over the fact, that if it wasn’t for Sting, none of this would be happening.

Tag Team Match
The Uso’s v. Gold & Star Dust
It was caught clear in this match, that there is still some friction between the two Dust Brothers, as Star Dust never was on the same page as his older brother. It seemed that not even a future chance at their lost Tag Team Titles could bring the group back together, as the USO’s for the most part dominanted this match up with Jey hitting the Superfly Splash for the win on Goldust. The Uso’s celebrate their victory, but it is cut short as The WWE newest Tag Team, The Ascension hits the ring, and destroy the Tag Team Champions with their own championships! * ¾

Singles Match
Rusev v. Darren Young
Darren Young makes a RAW appearance on Raw tonight, which we have not seen much of him since him and Titus O’Neill broke up last year.

Note – I guess the crowd was still very fired up over the events of Sting and Triple H, as well as the Uso’s and Dust brothers match, as this was considered a letdown. I need to learn better card placement when it comes to this, or not to underestimate that maybe the Uso’s are indeed over!

Backstage Segment
We cut backstage as The rest of the Authority is seen trying to come down Triple H and Stephanie who are livid after the fact that Sting laid his hands on Triple H. Seth Rollins tells Triple H that he will take care of this, but it’s Triple H who cuts off Rollins, letting him know, this is now personal, and he is going to fix this problem himself, and that Sting will finally have his first and only WWE Match at Wrestlemania against the King Of Kings himself.

Bray continues to go on when suddenly.

DONG! The Lights in the arena go out to a huge pop, as for the first time since the Streak was ended at last year Wrestlemania, The Undertaker appears. He scrolls down to the ring, as him and Wyatt stand face to face. The Destroyer of Worlds looks delighted unlike all thoses before him.

However it seems that there is Bad News for Barrett, as Roman Reigns music hits to a huge pop. Reigns doesn’t say a word and instead decks Barrett with a huge clothline, as Reigns is angry about losing his Title Shot last night to Daniel Bryan as we head to commercial!

We are back as This is now a Singles Match between Bad New Barrett and Roman Reigns!

Singles Match

Reigns is on fire at the start of this match, as he is running on pure Anger, as he is dominating the former Intercontinental Champion.

Barrett continues to stay in control, until he tries to hit a big Superplex, but is backdropped to the outside. Reigns follows and is nearly counted out as Barrett attempts to sneak back into the ring. Reigns however slides back into the ring. After several minutes of hard hitting back and forth Action, which saw Barrett reverse a attempt at the Superman Punch into the Winds Of Change for another near fall.

Here Comes The Pain as the man who is the 1 in 21 and 1 makes his way down to the ring with Paul Heyman! The WWE World Heavyweight Champion stands proud as he goes over what he has done for the past year, Including conquering what couldn’t be done, in defeating the Undertaker Wrestlemania Streak, The complete destruction of John Cena at Summerslam, and scaring the man who holds Money In The Bank so badly, that he won’t even attempt to cash in on his client….BROCK LESNAR!

Heyman says that it doesn’t matter who they throw at him, there will never be a champion like his client because Brock Lesnar only knows how to Eat, Sleep, Destroy and Repeat, and Heyman asks the crowd, Will Lesnar continue to be World Champion after Wrestlemania…Heyman simply responds with YES!

Heyman asks us, Do they know the story of David versus Goliath? He talks about how David took down the Giant, but tells us, this is the real world, and that a Beast will always overcome the underdog. Heyman tells us that that Daniel Bryan should be proud of his moment last year, but also reminds us, that it was his client Brock Lesnar that everyone was talking about when he became the 1 in 21-1.

Daniel Bryan music hits as he makes his way to the ring, to a huge pop and a roar of Yes’s! Daniel tells us that last year was a big moment for him, finally overcoming everything that Triple H and Stephanie threw in his way to finally get the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Heyman cuts him off, talking about while he did overcome the odds, forcing a Actor to tap out is a lot different than facing the Beast Incarnate. Heyman tells us that Daniel Bryan is a amazing talent, and his tale of coming back after nearly losing his career should be inspiration to others, but reminds us that his neck could be an issue. Heyman questions whether or not Bryan really wants to go thru with this. To think about his wife Brie, and the children that they might one day have. Do you really want to face a man, who destroyed John Cena, and a man who can easily grab you and give you Fifteen German Suplexes on that repaired neck of yours. Bryan thinks about it, and simply replies with YES! Lesnar seems amused with Bryan fortitude, but mentions to Heyman that he could easily break Daniel Bryan in half by simply breathing on him.

Paul Heyman: Are You Sure that this is what you want Bryan. You already done so much in making this far, there is no shame in running away.

Bryan replies with Yes, as Heyman continues to try to advise Bryan that his answer should be No, and that once it set in stone, Brock will not see a challenger, but another body broken in his way. Daniel replies with another Yes, as the crowd is fully behind him as his music plays as we head to commercial!

WWF Monday Night RAW 9/1/2003

Immediately after the opening sequence, we see The Rock and Brock Lesnar face-to-face in the locker room. The dominant World Heavyweight Champion (for the last 371 days) reinforces the announcement made last week. The Rock's request for a rematch has been granted by the McMahon family. Brock's caveat to agreeing to the match was that he picked the circumstances of the match. The match will happen. At the Royal Rumble. In four months. After he faces literally everyone else on the roster. Rock talks some trash. Brock wishes him luck. His Road To Redemption starts now.

The Rock makes his way to the ring. He paces, awaiting his first opponent. Jim Ross and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin are on commentary, talking about how Rock doesn't need to win all, or even any of his R2R matches. He just has to have them. Lesnar is softening up Rock so that when January comes around, Lesnar can pick up the pieces. Rock's opponent is introduced, and it's... Christopher Nowinski. The Smartest Man In Wrestling enters the ring, the bell sounds, he attempts a clothesline, gets stuck with a Rock Bottom, and The Rock is one match down on his Road To Redemption!

The enigmatic Raven is backstage with his associates Stevie Richards and Tazz. Raven talks up the fact that there's a title match tonight and two #1 contender matches, but no room on the card for him. What about me? What about Raven? Stevie mentions that one of the contender matches is for the Women's Title. Tazz chokes Stevie out. Raven thanks him.

Chris Jericho is backstage being interviewed. Pretty typical Jericho stuff, which means it's awesome. Unfortunately, it amounts to little more than self-promotion. He talks a little about his stablemate Kurt Angle's opportunity to be #1 contender tonight, but he mostly talks about himself.

The Divas are out next in a triple-threat tag team match. The winning duo will face Molly Holly in a triple threat for the Women's Title this Thursday on SmackDown! All six women get in their signature spots leading to a series at the end where Ivory hits a facebuster on Gail Kim, only to eat a Mick Kick from Mickie James, who then takes the Widow's Peak from Victoria, who gets hit with Stratusfaction by Trish Stratus, who gets flattened by a moonsault from Lita. Lita and Ivory win the match and will face Molly in three days for the gold!

Back from commercial, "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero is in the ring. He talks a bit about his ongoing issues with Triple H. He challenges The Game to a match at Unforgiven. HHH steps out onto the ramp and accepts the challenge!

Tonight's title match is for the Intercontinental Championship! The unlikely champion Bubba Ray Dudley comes to the ring, flanked by his half-brother D-Von and their Dudleyville Protection Agency partners Bradshaw and Faarooq. He knows he needs numbers on his side, because when his music stops, the arena sound is drowned out by the revving of twelve huge motorcycles, the introduction of The Dirty Dozen! Of course Undertaker leads the way for his gang, followed by his remaining partners. X-Pac dismounts and enters the ring. He'll face Bubba for the belt, but it looks like a lumberjack match with the fourteen combined stablemates at ringside.

Bubba uses his strength advantage throughout the match while X-Pac tries to stick and move as best he can. Finally, the brutal biker gang begins assaulting the DPA at ringside, distracting the referee long enough for Hardcore Holly to enter the ring and hit Bubba with an Alabama Slam. He turns around in time to see Pac cover Bubba for the win and the title change!

The beatdown complete, The Dirty Dozen enter the ring to celebrate with Pac. Undertaker talks about how this is just the beginning. Tonight, he'll win the fatal fourway to become #1 contender for the World Title. Soon, the Dozen will control all the WWF gold! Taker, Pac, Holly, Big Show, Kane, the New Age Outlaws, Val Venis, K-Kwik, Maven, Al Snow, and Chyna all pose as we go back to commercial.

Taker remains in the ring, but the rest of the Dozen has been banned from ringside for tonight's main event. He is joined by Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, and the upstart John Cena. The winner of tonight's Fatal Fourway will face Brock Lesnar at Unforgiven for the World Heavyweight Championship! The main event is also the match of the night as all four men give it their all in a battle for supremacy. Cena looks like he has the match won when he picks Undertaker up for the F-U, but he's blasted by Sweet Chin Music by Michaels! Taker takes a nasty tumble to the floor, Cena is out cold, and Michaels has his back turned too long, allowing Angle to sneak up behind him and hit the Angle Slam for the victory!

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon appears on the TitanTron to a massive pop! He makes the match official: At Unforgiven it will be Brock Lesnar defending the World Heavyweight Title against the Olympic Hero Kurt Angle!

Angle celebrates for a bit, but the cameras quickly cut backstage where John Cena and Shawn Michaels have to be pulled apart, each blaming the other for his loss. This does not look like the last time the Heartbreak Kid and the Doctor of Thuganomics will cross paths!

The Rock having to face everybody on the roster is a pretty great storyline, should build a lot of early anticipation for the Rumble.

I'm laughing really hard trying to imagine the members of the Dirty Dozen all in biker gear. Just a really eclectic group. Would love to see where they go from here.

Also, I'm hoping the Road To Redemption will help some midcard guys get a rub by going up against Rock.

ECW Hardcore TV (9/2/2003)

Paul Heyman is in the ring as the cameras come up. He talks up Anarchy Rulz, coming up in just two weeks. There are no matches on the card currently, but he says that's all likely to change as the next two weeks are going to be full of the best ECW has to offer. He just found out that their audio is fucked up (yay for being on HBO and being able to say "fucked up" on a nationally-televised wrestling show) tonight, so there will be no commentary. But don't worry, kids, Steve Prazak and Joel Gertner will be back next week. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I totally forgot to assign announcers to the show. Shit.

After Harry Slash and the Slashtones fade out, it looks like it's time for tag team action as Chris Candido and CW Anderson take on the team of Dan "The Beast" Severn and The Amazing Red. Pretty shortly after the bell rings, the opening riff of "Natural Born Killaz" begins to play, and the crowd erupts. Sure enough, the Original Gangsta New Jack, comes to the ring with his shopping cart full of weapons. He blasts Candido with a guitar, smashes Anderson with a stop sign, breaks a laptop over Severn's head, and drives Red through a table. The music never stops playing as Jack poses over his victims.

In a pre-taped segment, Cyrus The Virus says that he'll be watching Anarchy Rulz very closely. ECW's contract with "The Network" may have ended, but that doesn't mean that Cyrus isn't still looking for a few good men.

The ECW World Television Title is on the line next in a clash between two Japanese stars. Gedo defends against Taiyo Kea! It's a brutal strong style mixed with ECW hardcore match that Kea looks to be on the verge of winning before "The King Of Old School" Steve Corino emerges from the crowd and hits Kea with the Old School Expulsion, allowing Gedo to retain.

After the match, Corino challenges Kea to a match at Anarchy Rulz. "I'm sure once you regain consciousness, you'll accept."

Back from break, Little Spike Dudley is already in the ring awaiting his opponent. From the curtain emerges the Samoan Bulldozer, Jamal Umaga. Spike tries to get in some offense, but Umaga is just too fast and just too strong, putting him away in short order with a top rope splash.

Backstage, Christopher Daniels says that his mission to rid ECW of its old guard will continue at Anarchy Rulz. The Fallen Angel will usher in a new era, redefining extreme, and it all starts with the eradication of the homicidal, suicidal, genocidal Sabu!

Two of the most technically-sound wrestlers on the roster are up next as Jerry Lynn and Low Ki go one-on-one. This one is too exciting to do any justice here. A ton of near-falls, and even some classic finisher no-sells. Toward the end, Ki goes for his top-rope stomp. Lynn kips to his feet, catches Ki with a kick, and prepares for a cradle piledriver, but the bell sounds. Lynn and Ki are both confused. The referee shrugs and explains that the television time limit had been reached.

Ki grabs the official, but Paul Heyman quickly emerges from the back and says that Ki and Lynn will face off again, this time with no time limits, at Anarchy Rulz. Ki lets the official go, starts to walk away, then blasts him with a kick. Lynn chases him off and checks on John Finnegan as we head to commercial.

It's time for our main event as Masato Tanaka takes on ECW World Champion "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock in a non-title bout! Shamrock throws everything he has at Tanaka, who - as usual - shows no signs of feeling pain like a normal human. In the end, it takes Shamrock blocking Tanaka's attempt at a tornado DDT onto a chair and instead turning it into a top-rope belly-to-belly onto the chair to pick up the victory. Shamrock celebrates the hard-fought victory as his music plays.

Suddenly, Shamrock is laid out from behind by his own title! The Japanese Buzzsaw Yoshihiro Tajiri lays into the champion with a series of brutal kicks before throwing himself over the top rope to lock in the deadly Tarantula. Shamrock screams in agony, eyes popping as if he would snap if he could only get free, as Hardcore TV goes off the air.

WWF SmackDown! 9/4/2003

Dan Wilson and Tazz welcome us to SmackDown as The Rock makes his way down the aisle to a massive pop. They hype up that he's approximately 2.3% of the way to his showdown with Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble. Grand Master Sexay is waiting for him in the ring. The bell sounds. Sexay tries to get Rock to dance at the beginning of the match. He hands Rock his sunglasses. Rock raises an eyebrow. The crowd pops. Sexay tries to match the eyebrow. Not the same. When they finally tie up, Rock puts him away pretty easily. They shake hands after. Yay friends!

Backstage, John Cena cuts a promo. It rhymes, which I'm no good at, so let's just say it's pretty awesome, and he blames Shawn Michaels for keeping him from his destiny of being World Champion.

Monday night on Raw, Hardcore Holly cost Bubba Ray Dudley the Intercontinental Title. Tonight, he teams with the new champion, his Dirty Dozen brother X-Pac against the Dudley Boyz! Super stiff match between the four high-end midcarders. The fun is ruined when Kane appears on the ramp, resulting in a distraction, which lets Big Show sneak into the ring and lay out the Dudleyz. This allows Holly to pin D-Von. After the match, the beatdown is on until Bradshaw and Faarooq run them off. The Dudleyville Protection Agency... sort of lives up to its name.

After commercial, Perry Saturn is in the ring with his manager Paul Bearer, who speaks briefly about how he, too, once blindly followed the Undertaker. He offers a cautionary tale about obedience. Saturn nods and says "Yes, Paul" a lot. Very... obediently.

Turns out the reason Paul's talking about Undertaker is that one of his charges, K-Kwik is Saturn's opponent. What are the odds? Decent match that Saturn wins with the Moss-Covered 3-Handled Family Credenza.

Undertaker rides out at the conclusion of the match, staring down Bearer as he rides. He enters the ring, and it looks like he might lay out Kwik for losing, but he instead helps him to his feet and has the New Age Outlaws assist him to the back. Scotty 2 Hotty dances out. Oh, God. Scotty's gonna die. Bell rings, goozle, chokeslam, pin one two... Taker pulls Scotty's shoulder up. Tombstone one two... Taker gets up. He finally winds up hitting a Last Ride before finally allowing the referee to count to three. Taker stomps on Scotty a couple more times before riding off.

Suddenly, Scotty isn't alone in the ring anymore as Raven lays him out with a Raven Effect! Raven, who looked like he was losing it a bit last week, screams at Scotty "WHAT ABOUT ME?!? WHAT ABOUT RAVEN?!?" He issues a challenge for Unforgiven. Scotty is unconscious, so he's not saying anything, but I think it's probably safe to say he'll agree to it when he wakes up.

The Women's Title is on the line next as Molly Holly defends against the co-#1 contenders Ivory and Lita. You'll remember Ivory and Lita won a triple threat tag match on Monday to earn this shot. It's a solidly-wrestled encounter between two women who know what they're doing, and one that can occasionally flip over without injuring herself or the people around her. Lita lays out Ivory with a Twist of Fate, only to be thrown from the ring by Molly, who pins Ivory to retain her title.

Shawn Michaels is backstage. "John Cena thinks I'm standing between him and his destiny. He thinks that he's the future of this company, the next Brock Lesnar, the next Rock, the next Austin. The next Shawn Michaels. Well, kid, I've got news for you. The next Shawn Michaels is the same guy as the last Shawn Michaels. There's only one Heartbreak Kid, and he's not going anywhere. Did I cost Cena a title shot? Maybe. But if Cena wants to say that it's my fault he's not on my level, I'll be more than happy to tune up the band for him one more time.

Our main event pits #1 contender Kurt Angle and his Team BRECK-J stablemate Chris Benoit against the running buddies of the World Champion, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin, the WWF Tag Team Champions. It's God's Team against the World's Greatest Tag Team! The match certainly lives up to its potential, as arguably the four greatest athletes on the roster pull out all the stops. As the match degenerates into chaos, Brock Lesnar enters the ring and lays Angle out with an F-5, allowing Shelton Benjamin to pick up the victory. Lesnar continues the assault after the bell.

He has Haas fetch him his title belt, which he uses to lay out a bloodied Angle. SmackDown goes off the air with the champion posing over the challenger with the title. Will the result be the same at Unforgiven?

Ahhh, Scotty 2 Hotty in a singles match on PPV. Reminds me of that game where I gave Scotty the 70's guy gimmick right away just to test out the gimmick feature in the game and he wound up main eventing a SmackDown PPV because he got ludicrously over.

Yeah, in terms of overness, he's one of my top ten faces right out of the gate. Thought I'd see how he holds up in a mini singles feud.

WCW Thunder 9/4/2003

Thunder kicks off with the first match in the Cruiserweight Title Tournament pitting a pair of former champions against each other as Jamie By God Noble takes on Chavo Guerrero Jr. Exciting technical match with some high-flying action as well. In the end, Chavo blocks a suplex attempt and turns it into a brainbuster for the win.

Backstage, the nWo is showing some signs of dissension. Well, sort of. Really, it just looks like Rick Steiner is pissed. He's mad that his brother brought Scott Norton out with him to attack Team WCW last week and that Norton made the War Games team and he didn't. Sting finally tells him that if he can beat any of the members of Team WCW in a singles match, he can replace Norton on the team. Norton looks pissed now and gets in Rick's face. Scott and Buff Bagwell pull them apart while Lex Luger looks on, amused.

On Monday, Nikita Koloff was embarassed twice, first by losing to "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, then again by the Outsiders in a backstage segment. He looks to get back to his winning ways tonight against Ernest "The Cat" Miller. Unfortunately, Miller has other plans and finishes him off with a flurry of martial arts strikes. After the match, a frustrated Koloff lays Miller out and beats the crap out of him.

Once again, The Outsiders are shown watching the match on a monitor. Afterwards, they have some more choice words for Koloff. Hall in particular seems annoyed that they keep giving him TV time.

The Cruiserweight Title tournament continues as Ca$h takes on the 18-year-old rookie phenomenon Harry Smith, accompanied by the "Living Legend" Larry Zbysko. Ca$h tries to use his speed advantage to stick-and-move, but once Smith gets his hand on Ca$h and can overpower him, there's not much he can do. Smith picks up the clean win and celebrates with the fans after.

Back from break, "Prime Time" Elix Skipper is in the ring. He says he was informed earlier today that, because of his participation in the War Games main event, Rey Mysterio Jr. has withdrawn from the Cruiserweight Title tournament. Since Skipper was supposed to be his opponent tonight, he's been granted a bye into the quarterfinals. He talks about how it's now officially Prime Time and he issues a challenge to anyone from the cruiserweight division to fight him tonight in Rey's place.

That challenge is answered by the World Heavyweight Champion, "Sugar" Shane Helms! The crowd pops huge for the arrival of the champion while Skipper tries to get away. The official reminds him that he wanted this and forces him into the ring. It's a good match that's building some solid momentum when it's interrupted by #1 contender Jeff Jarrett, who lays out the champion with a guitar shot! The match ends in a DQ while Jarrett hits The Stroke.

Jarrett grabs a mic and talks some trash about Helms. The Chosen One says that Helms got lucky at Road Wild, but at Fall Brawl his luck runs out.

Our final Cruiserweight Title tournament match of the night pits Shannon Moore against Jason Jett. Two exciting young stars put together a good match that Moore wins with his version of the Twist of Fate.

Our main event of the evening pits the New World Order's "Dog-Faced Gremlin" Rick Steiner against the unstoppable Goldberg! Did I mention that he's unstoppable? Because he totally is, putting Steiner away in short order with a Jackhammer. Steiner is 0-1 in his attempt to join Team nWo at Fall Brawl.

He's soon joined in the ring by Mysterio, Booker T, Dustin Rhodes, and the immortal Hulk Hogan. The members of Team WCW talk about the upcoming War Games match against whichever five members of the nWo they wind up sending into the double cage. Hogan does the bulk of the talking, the bulk of it about Sting. Pretty clear what WCW is focusing on for the match. Crowd is super into the segment, though, eating up the top five babyfaces in the company all on the same page as Thunder goes off the air.

WCW Monday Nitro 9/8/2003

Nitro kicks off with the remaining first-round matches in the Cruiserweight TItle tournament. "Above Average" Mike Sanders, with his manager Disco Inferno, takes on Crowbar. Decent match. You could probably call it... above average. I'll leave now. Oh, and Crowbar wins.

Inexplicably, EWR thinks that Chris Harris is a lighweight. I, inexplicably, let EWR's weight-class analysis determine who gets into my tournaments. C'est la vie. I don't know if I'm using that right. Anyway, the "Wildcat" beats Psychosis to reach the Elite Eight.

Last week, AJ Styles said that he would beat Billy Kidman tonight. And, you know what? He was right! Very exciting match that AJ wins clean with the Styles Clash. Remarkably, in a match involving a Styles Clash finish and Billy Kidman, no one died!

Our eighth and final spot in the quarterfinals is up for grabs in our next match pitting Ultimo Dragon against Juventud Guerrera in a battle of two of the cruiserweight division's founding fathers. Very exciting match. In the end, though, Juventud takes advantage of a Dragon slip-up (Sorry, Funky) to hit the 450 to get the win.

Backstage, the nWo is warming up. Three members will be in action tonight. Rick Steiner is still pissed about the whole my-brother-picked-somebody-other-than-me-to-attack-Booker-T-and-Dustin-Rhodes-last-week thing.

Road Warrior Animal, finally recovered from his brawl with Big Van Vader last week, takes on the struggling Nikita Koloff in our next match. It's a brief match that's interrupted by (SURPRISE!) Vader, who attacks Animal, resulting in a DQ loss for Koloff.

Backstage, Scott Hall is about to crack more Nikita Koloff jokes when he's blindsided by Koloff himself. Apparently, there is a limit to how many times you can have Scott Hall make fun of you. And that limit is two.

New World Order members Buff Bagwell and Scott Norton (collectively, Vicious & Delicious) are in the ring when we return from break. They will take on two of their (or, at least Buff's, we still don't know what's going on with whether Norton is in the match 'cause of Rick Steiner being a baby) War Games opponents, Goldberg and Dustin Rhodes (collectively, Goldberg & Dustin Rhodes). It's a Goldberg match, so he gets the hot tag and levels Buff with the Jackhammer for the win. After the match, Vicious & Delicious argue about whose fault that was. I'm gonna go with Goldberg.

Rick Steiner is out next for his next attempt at making the War Games match as he goes one-on-one with Booker T. The seven-time, seven-time, seven-time, seven-time, seven-time, seven-time, seven-time WCW Champion picks up the clean victory, and Rick is now 0-2.

The members of Team WCW then cut an in-ring promo because they keep giving me really high ratings. Oh, and they have a match in a couple weeks. There's that, too.

Our main event - I'm just gonna lay this out for you - is weird. Unlikely WCW Champion Shane Helms teams with Ernest "The Cat" Miller to face Konnan and #1 contender Jeff Jarrett. No real reason, I'm just curious what shit I can throw out there and still have higher ratings than Raw. No, really, this is building to stuff sort of, but still. Weird. Helms pins Konnan for the win. After the match, all four men brawl WE'RE OUT OF TIME WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT?!?!?

WWF Monday Night Raw 9/8/2003

The ring is littered with weapons as Raw comes up. Raven makes his way to the ring, sermonizing about how it's about time the WWF realizes the same thing everyone else realized years ago: Raven = Ratings. He poses in the corner while he waits for the arrival of his opponent, the Manbeast Rhyno! The two former ECW stars put on a brutal battle using all the tools around them. Raven puts a chair in the corner, then dodges a Gore. As Rhyno staggers out of the corner, he's planted with the Raven Effect. Raven is looking strong less than two weeks before Unforgiven!

Our next contest is an eight-man tag team match that has been brewing all week. The Dudley Boyz and the APA, the Dudleyville Protection Agency, team up to take on four members of The Dirty Dozen - Big Show, Hardcore Holly, Kane, and the man who unseated Bubba Ray Dudley to become the new Intercontinental Champion X-Pac. More stiff action (hee hee) before Kane plants Faarooq with a chokeslam to pick up the victory.

They're soon joined by the remaining members of the Dozen (The New Age Outlaws, K-Kwik, Maven, Val Venis, Al Snow, Chyna, and their leader the Undertaker). Taker takes the mic and calls out Paul Bearer. He says that what Bearer said on SmackDown is partially true. But what's happening here isn't just blind obedience. This is brotherhood. Paul, I once trusted you like a brother, and the fact that you're with that mop-loving idiot hurts. But bring him out here now, let him take his beating like a man, and maybe. Just maybe. Maybe I'll let you both walk out of here under your own power.

Bearer obliges, bringing Perry Saturn with him. Saturn steps into the ring, and the rest of the Dozen surround him. Taker waves them off. Saturn gets in a bit of offense, but he's overmatched. Undertaker makes Saturn take the Last Ride for the victory.

Backstage, the six members of Team BRECK-J are ready for action. Rhyno (R) is still smarting from his battle with Raven, but Chris Benoit (B) and Chris Jericho (J) are both preparing for singles matches. Meanwhile, Edge (E), Christian (C), and the #1 contender Kurt Angle (K) are in tonight's main event against the three members of the Wrecking Crew. Good promo work from all six guys, but MAN that's a weird combination.

The first of those singles matches is next as Chris Benoit takes on Eddie Guerrero. The two former friends have a very good technical match that is unfortunately marred by the interference of Eddie's Unforgiven opponent Triple H. H distracts Eddie allowing Benoit to capitalize with a Crippler Crossface, leaving Eddie no chance but to tap out.

Triple H remains in the ring as he's up next against Chris Jericho. More gpod work (though EWR says they don't quite "click"), but they are interrupted by (SURPRISE!) Eddie Guerrero, who allows Jericho to hit a Lionsault for the pinfall victory.

After break, the ring has been changed out to the set for Stevie Night Heat. Stevie Richards' guests are John Cena and Shawn Michaels, two men who appear to be on a collision course. Sure enough, the set is trashed, Stevie's knocked to the floor, and Cena and HBK tear each other apart.

Match #3 on the Road To Redemption is next! The Rock takes on the Embodiment Of Eeeeeeeeevil TAKA Michinoku. As with his previous matches, Rock makes short work of TAKA. The People's Champion is motivated. Is it possible for him to lose a match between now and the Rumble?

The Wrecking Crew makes its way to the ring, toting the World and Tag Team Titles. They hype up Brock Lesnar's title defense against Kurt Angle at Unforgiven and tonight's six-man main event. Passable mic work from the championship trio.

And now it's time for the main event. Six of the best wrestlers in the world go at it in a thrilling match. Lesnar and Angle brawl on the floor, Christian hits an Unprettier on Charlie Haas, but eats a Dragon Whip from Shelton Benjamin, only for Shelton to eat a spear from Edge. The ECK part of Team BRECK-J pick up the win, and Edge & Christian look like solid contenders for the Tag Team Titles! Benoit, Jericho, and Rhyno come out to celebrate with their partners as Raw goes off the air.

NXT – From the Beginning

Alright, so I’ve been sitting this idea for a while and am finally going through with it. Here’s my backstory: when the WWF implemented the brand extension in 2002, they did it to try to give both shows their own unique feel and also to allow their large roster to be spread out in such a way so that everybody got airtime. They were also sitting on what was viewed as one of the deepest rosters in development ever, and Brock Lesnar had just debuted on Raw a few weeks prior and was clearly going to be a big deal straight away.

With Tough Enough being a big success in 2001, MTV awarded the WWF a Wednesday night TV show to give them a platform to show off some of these developmental talents. The rookies would be paired off with pros and compete against their fellow rookies and the pros themselves. Throughout the competition, the pros will vote off rookies and whoever is left standing at the end will earn a WWF contract.

Anyway, some ground rules for the purposes of EWR: I used Arsenic to get all of the rookies to an overness rating of an even 50, which most of them were hovering around anyway. This just makes it easier to track the rookies’ overness as the competition goes on. Officially the game is set on an early evening timeslot, which gives me 8 segments with a minimum of 3 matches. Most likely I’ll be going with 7 segments and 3 matches just because realistically I wouldn’t want to rush everything on a 1 hour show. I may have more matches as the competition rolls on. There isn’t a timetable yet on how long the season will last but I imagine it’d go around 4 months at least as again I don’t want to rush things.

As far as who is going to be in the show: anybody who debuted on the main roster from the start of April 2002 through the end of the year is eligible, as is anybody who might have been in developmental at the time but never got a call up at any point. Anybody in developmental who subsequently was called up to the main roster during a later year is NOT eligible, as I may do a season in 2003, 2004, etc. if this takes off and I enjoy it.

The pros will have different rules. Anybody on the active main roster as of the first week of the brand extension is eligible to be used as pros. If selected, they’ll remain for the entire season even if they got fired, quit, or were injured in real life. I’m just doing this because, as you’ll see, a big chunk of my pros cast won’t be around by 2003 so this is my only chance to use them.

I've basically figured out my first show, which will feature a few matches and a decent-sized write up on the rookie/pro pairings. Just gotta actually get around to finish writing it and booking the show in EWR. Hoping to get it posted at some point Monday evening while I'm inevitably bored watching Raw.

Week 1: April 3, 2002

Segment 1: Introduction of the cast

After the pyrotechnics go off, our host Tazz welcomes us to the premiere addition of NXT. Ten of the WWF’s hottest prospects will compete for a chance to be the WWF’s next breakout superstar. These rookies will get the opportunity to learn from five Raw pros and five SmackDown pros, so let’s meet them first:

“Across the Nation”, Raw’s new theme song that debuted two nights ago blares over the PA system. The crowd lets out a cheer right away as Intercontinental champion Rob Van Dam is the first one out through the curtain. Following him out is the feisty underdog Crash Holly. The cheers turn to boos as the arrogant Mr. Perfect is out next, towel in hand as he spits out and swats his gum on the way to the ring. The dark and deranged Raven walks out next, extending out his arms as he walks. Finally, Scott Hall in his nWo garb saunters out last, taking his sweet time.

“The Beautiful People” hits next, signifying the arrival of the SmackDown pros. The boos come right back as the Olympic hero Kurt Angle poses on the rampway. Hardcore Holly follows him out, looking surly as only he can. The always positive Diamond Dallas Page is out next, flashing the sign of the Diamond Cutter to the fans’ appreciation. Al Snow follows him out as he also plays to the crowd. Finally the crowd lets out their biggest cheer of the night so far as Edge comes out in his trademark trenchcoat and sunglasses.

With the pros all assembled, Tazz briefly explains the rules to the pros and the fans. Each pro was randomly assigned a rookie to mentor, the pros will vote out rookies periodically, yadda yadda yadda. Now comes the time to meet the rookies.

The first rookie is assigned to Mr. Perfect…from St. Louis, MO, it’s Randy Orton! Out comes an impressive looking, clean cut young man wearing shiny metallic blue tights bearing his last name. He slaps hands with fans on the way out, Perfect does not seem too impressed.

The next rookie goes to RVD. A native of Orangeburg, SC…Shelton Benjamin comes out and also chooses to play to the crowd. His pro seems much more enthused with his assignment, as RVD and Benjamin shake hands as soon as he gets in the ring.

Out third is Al Snow’s rookie, Chris Nowinski from Watertown, MA. As soon as he makes the announcement, Tazz and Snow exchange glances of disbelief. Fans would recognize this Harvard graduate as a contestant from the first season of Tough Enough, and how he’s back for more. He comes out wearing the colors of his alma mater, looking even more arrogant than he did on Tough Enough.

Kurt Angle jumps for joy at the next announcement. From Pittsburgh, PA, Kurt’s own brother Eric Angle comes out from the back as a participant for NXT. The overexcited Kurt wraps up his brother in a huge bearhug right out of the gate, taking Eric off guard a bit.

A massive, hulking bald man with a chain around his neck emerges from the back. He jumps over the top rope into the ring. The man from the Pit of Danger known only as Leviathan will be Raven’s rookie, and Raven can’t help but look impressed at this beast of a man he will be mentoring.

Out next comes another well-built man but with a distinctly different look. An impressive physique with purple and yellow tights, this man is John Cena from West Newbury, MA. He points at the crowd and respectfully shakes hands with his new mentor, Edge.

Charlie Haas is out next to greet his mentor, Scott Hall. The energetic Haas from Edmond, OK jogs down to the ring and enters into the increasingly crowded ring. He extends his hand to Hall, but Hall just looks completely disinterested. Hall removes the toothpick from his mouth and throws it in Haas’ face. I guess they’ll need to work on that partnership.

The next guy out is somebody who should look familiar to fans of other promotions – it’s Mike Sanders from Atlanta, GA. Sanders comes out looking like Joe Cool with his cutoff t-shirt and cargo shorts. DDP seems a bit skeptical having him as his rookie, but being who he is he puts out a big smile and a hand for Sanders. Sanders accepts the handshake but seems to roll his eyes as he does so.

An imposing, jacked up figure with a white goatee, black ski hat, and black TAPOUT pants makes his way down the ramp. This is Ron Waterman from Greeley, CO. Hardcore Holly can’t help but nod in approval of his rookie, and he can’t help but flash a cocky smirk towards the direction of his little cousin Crash who is the last to meet his rookie.

Hardcore’s smirk soon turns into a look of disbelief as the final man out is a large, heavily tattooed man from the isle of Samoa. Crash points and laugh at his cousin as his rookie, Umaga, gets right into the ring and stands face to face with Waterman.

Tazz implores the crowd to give one last round of applause to the cast of NXT. Waterman and Umaga are nose to nose at this point, so Tazz asks everybody else to clear out so these two big men can settle their differences in the inaugural match of the contest. And that match is - next!

Overall Rating: 93%, Kurt Angle and Raven gained overness

Segment 2: Ron Waterman w/ Hardcore Holly vs. Umaga w/ Crash Holly

With two guys this big, this was never going to be a scientific wrestling classic. But that’s just fine, as both men brawled most of the time. Both pros stood at ringside to shout instructions and encouragement to their rookies. Waterman peppered Umaga with plenty of rights and lefts, but when Umaga got his second wind it barely phased him. Late in the match Waterman and Umaga reverses into a huge Samoan Drop. Umaga ascends to the top and the big man flies through the air, landing a massive splash and getting his first win of the competition. Crash attempts to raise Umaga’s hand but Umaga has none of it. This guy is gonna be a force to be reckoned with.

Crowd Reaction: 53%, Match Quality: 82%, Overall Rating: 67%

Segment 3: Charlie Haas video

We cut to a pre-taped sit down interview with Charlie Haas, complete with clips of him hitting some of his signature moves on opponents down in developmental promotions. Haas talks about his collegiate wrestling background at Seton Hall. But don’t let that fool you, Haas assures us he’s a lot of fun to be around and he’s been known as quite the impressionist. He’s looking forward to showing off his big personality to the NXT crowd.

Overall Rating: 61%, Charlie Haas gained overness

Segment 4: Randy Orton and Mr. Perfect vs. Chris Nowinski & Al Snow

Tag team action up next. Perfect tagged Orton in fairly early and then spent a lot more time doing tricks on the apron than he did trying to coach his rookie or even be on the lookout for a tag. Snow and Nowinski worked as a much better unit than the opening of the show would have had you think, perhaps rekindling some of the chemistry formed on Tough Enough last year. The Harvard graduate got a bit too headstrong near the end though. After excessively showboating following a routine dropkick, Orton caught him offguard with a unique backbreaker maneuver. Mr. Perfect then suddenly came alive, tagging Orton on the back and then picking Nowinski back up with a Perfect Plex and the win. Snow facepalms while Perfect acts like he won the World Series. Orton may be 1-0 but his pro hogged the glory.

Crowd Reaction: 64%, Match Quality: 72%, Overall Rating: 68%

Segment 5: Mike Sanders video

Another pre-taped interview video, much in the same style as Haas’ video from earlier. This time, the subject is Mike Sanders. Sanders has no idea why he’s on NXT in the first place. He’s a former WCW Cruiserweight champion and former WCW Commissioner. He didn’t invade last year with the rest of the WCW losers, so why is he being punished? Regardless, he’ll win this show easily. His opposition is average, and he’s above average.

Overall Rating: 66%, Mike Sanders gained overness

Segment 6: Eric Angle w/ Kurt Angle vs. Edge w/ John Cena

Kurt Angle boasted about his brother on the microphone before the match, saying Eric was a shoe-in to win with the best wrestler in the WWF by his side. Eric seemed a bit uneasy with the claims, but regardless he had a huge task ahead of him with a match against one of the fastest rising superstars and reigning King of the Ring Edge.

The inaugural NXT main event did not disappoint, as Angle more than held his own against the more seasoned Edge. After a pretty good technical wrestling match, Eric whipped Edge to the ropes and Kurt jumped onto the apron. Edge wound up reversing, sending Eric colliding into his brother. Eric turns right into a Spear and Edge wins. Kurt jumps right in and blindsides Edge with a clothesline, but Cena jumps in and delivers a big clothesline of his own to Kurt, saving his pro in the process.

Crowd Reaction: 67%, Match Quality: 78%, Overall Rating: 72%

Segment 7: Tazz makes an announcement

Tazz grabs a mic to put a wrap on the first-ever episode of NXT. After what we just saw, next week’s main event only makes sense: John Cena will make his debut against Kurt Angle! That’s a huge opportunity for Cena straight off the bat – and it’s sure to make next week’s edition can’t-miss television.

Overall Rating: 84%, Tazz and John Cena gained overness

68% Overall Rating for NXT
1.16 Rating

I’m quite happy with that debut. All of the matches delivered and nobody lost overness. Besides Cena, I’m planning on having Haas, Benjamin, Leviathan, and Sanders all make their in-ring debuts during week two.

02-25-2015, 12:13 AM

Wanna come up with an idea like Vito did to make the game interesting again and then I think I'm gonna start a new one on TEW2013. I had a "start from scratch" fed going but I'm like 4 years into it and it would be too hard to go back and remember the stories and start a journal for it.

loopydate

02-25-2015, 01:27 PM

I like the pairings. Interested to see what happens to the "never-wases" like Waterman and Eric Angle.

Evil Vito

02-25-2015, 01:57 PM

Yeah, development was quite loaded in 2002. I thought it would be cool to include a few unknowns rather than just making it guys who debuted in real life (such as Rosey, who I left off). I also considered Jamie Noble or Shannon Moore but decided I really wanted to give Sanders something to do and didn't want too many former WCW guys. I figure in this universe Noble and Moore just debuted how they did in real life.

As best I can tell Eric Angle never made it because he was just constantly hampered with injuries. As for Waterman...I'm really not sure how he never got a shot on the roster. He had an absolutely killer look. I'm guessing he was just really bad in the ring to never get called up even though he did dark matches for like a year. He has decent brawl stats in this EWR data pack at least.

#1-norm-fan

02-25-2015, 08:46 PM

Why do you guys prefer EWR to TEW? Is it just an issue of time?

loopydate

02-25-2015, 09:11 PM

That's exactly it. I love the depth of TEW, but on the rare occasions I have time to play, I can bang out a couple of EWR shows in an hour, complete with write-ups. I might be able to do one in TEW in that time.

Evil Vito

02-25-2015, 10:11 PM

Yeah, booking in TEW takes ages. I have enough time keeping EWR games together with a far simpler system, I can't even imagine how much worse I'd be with TEW.

#1-norm-fan

02-26-2015, 02:35 AM

I think that's why I've shied away from booking WWE with TEW anymore. I did it when I first got 2013 and got through a couple weeks I think before I realized it would be way too long before I got to the point where things looked like I wanted them to. TNA was a little better with just iMPACT and Xplosion to book.

I do enjoy running a local fed though and trying to book realistically where TV shows basically consist of one show a month split into 4 TV episodes. Seems to go by pretty quickly. Like I said, when I started by local-to-global game, I got through about 5 years in a couple months or so just playing an hour or two on weekdays.

I don't know if I could go back to EWR now just because I'm so spoiled with the ridiculous amount of depth.

#1-norm-fan

02-26-2015, 09:51 PM

I think I'm gonna take over GFW and begin it as a promotion from the ground up. Just to do something different from everyone else. And since I kinda don't feel like doing a TNA game. I'll probably start when I get home late tonight.

#1-norm-fan

02-27-2015, 07:27 AM

Okay, maybe tomorrow.

Evil Vito

02-27-2015, 08:43 AM

I'll probably do another NXT this weekend. If I do one a week that's far more consistent than any other game I do, anything beyond that is gravy. I actually know what is going to happen on the show already, it's just a matter of doing the write-up and then actually booking it in EWR.

Evil Vito

02-27-2015, 08:46 AM

I'm also always tempted to do a WWE game just because the product is SO bad right now I'd like to book it the way I think it should be run...but I know myself well enough to know I'll get burned out as usual if I rush into it, and I'd probably only post PPVs. Probably won't consider tackling a WWE game until after Mania.

ECW Hardcore TV (9/9/2003)

With just five days to go until Anarchy Rulz, a loaded edition of Hardcore Television is kicked off by the extreme mastermind Paul Heyman welcoming us to the arena. He makes it official. What happened last week gave him a brilliant idea for this Sunday's main event. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock will defend the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against the only man on the planet who could conceivably take that dangerous mantle from him, the Japanese Buzzsaw Yoshihiro Tajiri. The crowd erupts at the announcement. Steve Prazak and Joel Gertner check in on commentary and play up tonight's huge tag team main event that will pit those two against each other, along with their respective partners: Rob Van Dam and Masato Tanaka!

The ECW World Television Title is on the line in our opening contest as Gedo defends against Amazing Red! Solid high-paced action between the two that sees the youngster come within a half-count of claiming the gold. Eventually, though, the Japanese veteran puts Red away with his trademark flying senton to retain his belt.

Rene Dupree and Sylvan Grenier, the hated La Resistance, come to the ring to talk some trash. They've been told they're involved in a three-way dance for a future ECW Tag Team Title shot at Anarchy Rulz. The other two teams haven't been announced yet, but they're confident that not only will they finally prove that they are the best tag team in ECW, but they are the greatest French Canadian tag team in the history of wrestling! As they continue to gloat, they are blindsided by the returning Fabulous Rougeau Brothers! Jacques and Ray put the boots to Grenier and Dupree while the ECW faithful have a nostalgia mark-out moment.

Second-generation star Erik Watts is out next for a match against Ikuto Hidaka. The pair of 28-year-olds put on a solid match, but Watts is the star here, picking up the victory. After the match, Satoshi Kojima blindsides Watts and puts the boots to him.

Backstage, Steve Corino says that he attacked Taiyo Kea last week because he knows that Kea has been living a lie. Corino is old school. He's the King Of Old School. There's no one in this business today with a greater respect for the history of our sport than Steve Corino. From the WWF to WCW to ECW to the AWA, Memphis, Mid-South, Mexico, Japan... The tradition of this business needs to be respected. So when he sees a Hawaiian, an American, passing himself off as Japanese just because he spent his career in Japan is disrespectful. Kea needs to embrace his gaijin status, just as he (Corino) has. Embrace your past. Embrace the old school.

The team of Little Guido and Sonny "Cocky" Siaki are warming up. Alice in Chains' "Man In The Box" begins to play, and the crowd comes unglued! Tommy Dreamer, the Extreme Original, comes to the ring, accompanied by the eccentric Blue Meanie. It's a good old-fashioned extreme tag team war! Just as the bell sounds, Meanie is blindsided by someone from the crowd. Dreamer notices his partner has been felled, only to eat a spinning back kick. The Colossus Of Boggo Road, Nathan Jones, lays waste to Dreamer and Meanie, then gestures for the heels to pick up the pin. Guido and Siaki seem shocked, but they oblige and win the match without any effort.

We do get a hardcore tag team match next as the ECW World Tag Team Champions Danny Doring and Roadkill defend the gold against Excellence Inc., made up of Michael Modest and Donovan Morgan. Very exciting action with Doring bumping for the heels before making a hot tag to Roadkill. Eventually, Doring picks up the victory with his top rope Danaconda leg drop.

The cameras quickly cut backstage where Jerry Lynn and Low Ki have begun to brawl. They're on a collision course for Anarchy Rulz, but ECW officials have to pull them apart tonight.

Christopher Daniels, who is on a mission to remove the Extreme from Extreme Championship Wrestling faces off against Sandman in our next contest. The beer-swilling cane-swinging Sandman tries to interject his hardcore style into the match, but Daniels is too fast, too talented, too technically sound to be denied his victory. He hits his Angel's Wings finisher on Sandman for the clean victory. After the match, Daniels' Anarchy Rulz opponent Sabu lays him out with a chair, then hits a Triple Jump Moonsault. Daniels escapes to the floor and yells at Sabu, who points to the sky.

It's almost time for our main event! But first, Mr. ECW Rob Van Dam issues a challenge to one of his opponents tonight, Masato Tanaka, for a one-on-one match at Anarchy Rulz. Tanaka accepts, and it's time for our main event tag match.

It's Tanaka and the #1 contender Yoshihiro Tajiri against Van Dam and the ECW World Heavyweight Champion, Ken Shamrock! Not surprisingly, this is our match of the night as the four top stars on the ECW roster do battle. Most of the match is broken down into singles segments previewing Anarchy Rulz. In the end, the match degenerates into a brawl. RVD misses a Five-Star Frogsplash. Tanaka goes for the cover, but is pulled off into an ankle lock by Shamrock, only for Tajiri to blast him with the Buzzsaw Kick. For the second week in a row, Tajiri stands tall over Shamrock. Will he make it three in a row at Anarchy Rulz?

WWF NXT - Week 2: April 10, 2002

WWF makes the most out of its rights to “Superstar” by Saliva, as the WrestleMania X8 theme is used as a fitting song for the brand new opening video for NXT. After the video finishes and the pyro goes off, the droning intro to “One of a Kind” hits as the crowd gets on their feet. Tag team action to start us off with straight away on NXT!

Segment 1: Rob Van Dam and Shelton Benjamin vs. Diamond Dallas Page and Mike Sanders

After Page worked the first couple of minutes of the match, Sanders tagged himself in. Although he held his own for a while, he simply refused to tag out, even feigning a tag to his mentor a few times only to pull back, leaving Page struggling to maintain his optimistic demeanor. Perhaps he should have reconsidered his options, as he eventually fell victim to an impressive T-Bone Suplex by Benjamin and then a Five Star Frog Splash from Benjamin’s pro for good measure. The Intercontinental Champion and his rookie get the win. Sanders said last week that he didn’t feel he deserved to be stuck on NXT, but tonight he might be eating those words.

Crowd Reaction: 66%, Match Quality: 80%, Overall Rating: 73%

Segment 2: Ron Waterman video

Last week a couple of the rookies were profile through prerecorded video, and tonight Ron Waterman gets the same treatment. Along with footage of him wrestling in development, he plays up his mixed martial art background and brings up the fact that he’s knocked out several opponents in less than 30 seconds. He’s dominated in the octagon and looks forward to doing the same in the squared circle.

Overall Rating: 70%, Ron Waterman gained overness

Segment 3: Scott Hall and his rookie make their way to the ring

The crowd boos the sound of the nWo theme. Scott Hall does his trademark walk out to the ring and throws his toothpick into the camera. Coming up behind him is Charlie Haas walking slowly, but he’s wearing an nWo tank top with leathery-looking pants and a blonde wig. He uses the bottom rope to step over the top rope and raises his fist in the Wolfpack sign.

Scott Hall grabs the mic and says “hey yo”. He seems to be ready to survey the crowd but before he can, Haas grabs the mic away to proclaim that “Big Sexy” Kevin Haas is in the house, drawing a big pop from the crowd as the announcers laugh. Hall shoves Haas and starts giving him a talking to as we go to commercial.

Overall Rating: 69%, Kevin Haas gained overness, Scott Hall lost overness

Segment 4: “Big Sexy” Kevin Haas w/ Scott Hall vs. Leviathan w/ Raven

Haas is still posing to the fans when we come back from break, but Raven’s theme hits as Leviathan charges out, not looking amused at what he sees. Although Haas is able to get a few punches in, the monstrous Leviathan pretty much beats the ever-loving piss out of poor Charlie, err I mean Kevin. A huge spinebuster ends the proceedings and Leviathan gets his first win in decisive fashion. Raven cackles and raises his mentee’s hand with glee. Scott Hall just shrugs it off and heads to the back, not really seeming to care that his rookie just got decimated.

Crowd Reaction: 54%, Match Quality: 75%, Overall Rating: 64%

Segment 5: Chris Nowinski video

We cut to another video profile, this time for Chris Nowinski. Adorned in his Harvard letterman’s jacket, Nowinski reminds us of his past history on Tough Enough and how he made the finals and should have won. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over again and expect different results. Last season he had to fit in with his competitors. This time? It’s going to be all about him, and he’ll be left with a WWF contract when all is said and done.

Overall Rating: 68%, Chris Nowinski gained overness

Segment 6: Randy Orton backstage interview

Right after Nowinski’s video, we cut to a video clip of his match last week, showing the ending with Mr. Perfect stealing the tag and pinning Nowinski via Perfect Plex. Jonathan Coachman asks Orton for his thoughts on his pro coming in at the last minute and stealing his thunder. Before Orton can speak, Perfect grabs the mic away and says he was setting a perfect example for his rookie. Nobody else can ever be perfect, but if Orton keeps paying attention maybe he’ll someday be as good as him. Perfect walks off confidently as Orton is left shaking his head.

Overall Rating: 68%, Randy Orton gained overness

Segment 7: Kurt Angle w/ Eric Angle vs. John Cena w/ Edge

Kurt got the crowd riled up as only he can, but his talking was cut short by “Never Gonna Stop” by Rob Zombie as Edge led his rookie down to the ring. After a few more demeaning words, Cena slapped Angle in the face and the match was on. This was a stellar match, with Cena looking like anything but a rookie. He displayed great power and poise, nearly pulling off a major upset a few times.

Just when Kurt was reeling in the corner, he motioned for his brother Eric to execute “plan B”. Eric reluctantly ran over to Edge outside the ring and punched him in the back of the head, prompting a brawl on the floor between the two of them. As Cena and the referee paid attention to what was happening on the outside, Kurt connected with a swift kick to the balls which made Cena easy picking for the Angle Slam and the victory.

Kurt hightailed it after the match, looking all too proud for a man who just needed to cheat to defeat a guy in his first ever WWF match. Although Cena may have made a rookie mistake in taking his eye off the ball, he looked impressive in defeat and like somebody who should have a bright future ahead of him.

Crowd Reaction: 72%, Match Quality: 82%, Overall Rating: 77%

67% Overall Rating for NXT
1.18 Rating

Although Leviathan/Haas was evidently the best squash match ever, the fans not caring dragged the rating down enough to make this worse than the first week. I suspect that’ll happen quite a bit in rookie vs. rookie matches until the rookies get more over. I also wasn’t sure how to book the Hall/Haas thing so I just picked a manager angle where a manager reveals his new client (I have all of the pros set as managers). Guess it dragged Hall down to have him representing someone so unover. Haas will get over dammit! Hall is still at 85 anyway so whatever. Overall I’m happy with how the show came out again.

03-01-2015, 10:45 PM

Thanks! Yeah, Haas is easily going to be the most fun character to write for I think. I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to do with several of the guys, others are just sort of in a "wait and see" approach.

I don't even have a clue on who is winning really. It'll all depend on where overness stands and how the characters develop.

03-01-2015, 11:08 PM

That's where I'm at with a lot of my stories. I know how the WCW Title picture plays out at least through Halloween Havoc and know what the main event and stipulation for Starrcade is, but haven't decided if it's going to involve the title or be a special attraction type thing. Going to depend on what does and doesn't get over.

WWF, I know some of the stories I'm building out of the Road to Redemption, and some side stories leading up to about Survivor Series, but no idea what's happening from there. Rumble winner? Mania main event? No clue.

ECW is almost entirely up in the air. I want a "big show" feel for November to Remember, but what that means specifically is a mystery to me at this point.

I always try to figure out where I'm going at the next huge show as soon as one is over. Whenever I'd book WWE, I'd finish WrestleMania and have an idea of what my main event for SummerSlam and next year's WrestleMania is gonna be. Obviously it changes at times but starting the very next night on Raw, I'm slowly starting the build toward those ideas.

A former WWE Tag Team champion, Jeter retired from wrestling in 2007 before making a surprise return on the independent scene in August of 2014. Now he's back to be part of the Global Force and become the star he seemed destined to be almost a decade ago.

Kenny Dykstra
http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131029003747/prowrestling/images/d/dd/Kennydykstra.png
Another former WWE Tag Team champion along with Jeter comes to GFW with a chip on his shoulder. Kenny Dykstra is ready to test himself against the best wrestlers in the world and reach the heights he seemed so destined for years ago.

John Walters
https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/411720475048296452/rvWrJgI3_400x400.jpeg
Unknown to many mainstream wrestling fans, John Walters AKA RJ Brewer is a former ROH Pure champion. He's got the look and the ability to be a star. He may however be best known for his controversial views on immigration in the US which have led to him being featured on ABC, Fox News and CNN among other news outlets and has also made him the most hated man in Lucha Libre USA from his debut in 2010. How he will be accepted by the Global Force fans and roster will be intriguing to say the least.

Xavier
http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/x/xavier/02.jpg
Former World Champion in Ring of Honor where he faced the likes of Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Samoa Joe and more, Xavier is a great all around wrestler who will not hesitate to mix it up with all comers regardless of style on his way to becoming one of the prime players in Global Force.

More names to be announced shortly...

Wednesday, March 18th, 2015

Many more names have been added to the ROH roster including rumblings of a few big surprises.

Los Luchas (Phoenix Star and Zokre)
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/e6/31/c2/e631c235c0dda921d20174d092c538ae.jpg
Joining the ranks of Global Force, it's former NWA World Tag Team champions Los Luchas who are set to bring a high flying flair to what is sure to be the most eclectic tag team division pro wrestling has ever seen.

Andy Ridge
http://cache.onlineworldofwrestling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/andy-ridge.png
The 6'3" lightweight Andy Ridge is a graduate of ROH wrestling academy under the tutelage of Delirious and has been nicknamed "Right Leg" due to the explosive kicks that have become a trademark of his offense.

Dakota Darsow
http://www.iwheadlines.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dakota-darsow-17.jpg
Darsow is a second generation wrestler looking to make a name for himself much like his father Barry did for many years in WWE and WCW throughout the 80's and 90's.

The Thomaselli Brothers (Sal, Pauly and Vito)
http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/t/thomasellibrothers/01.jpg
The Italian brothers become the first stable to join the ranks of the official GFW roster ready to set their sights on the tag or singles divisions at will.

JD Michaels
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/JD_Maverick_red.jpg
Also known as JD Maverick, he takes his name from the legendary Shawn Michaels. And the similarities don't stop there as he carries himself like a rockstar sex symbol in much the same way as a young HBK did. JD now comes to Global Force with plans of using his skills and looks to make himself a legend.

Jesse White
http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130702103229/prowrestling/images/3/3e/Jesse_White_Full.1.png
Yet another second generation star is on his way to Global Force as Jesse White, son of the great Big Van Vader signs on to be part of the revolution. The 6'2" 265 lb White will look to carve out his own path to immortality as he continues the family tradition.

I thought if I was gonna start fresh with GFW, I'd have the disadvantage of not being able to paint as good of a picture with shows as I would if I were doing WWE or TNA where everyone knows exactly how guys would come off in certain situations. So I figured the picture/short blurb strategy would be a good way to fix that problem.

Interested to see who else you bring in, but I like the lineup so far. As TPWW's resident Spirit Squad mark (a fact I caught no end of grief for), the prospect of Jeter and Dykstra on the same show is exciting. Been watching some old ROH shows, too, so Walters and Xavier are intriguing additions to me. I'm very surprised WWE never did any thing with White while they had him under contract.

Evil Vito

03-02-2015, 12:44 PM

Yeah I have to echo Loopy's sentiments on Jeter and Dykstra. Really surprised Jeter never received a proper call up to the main roster when he was with WWE, he seemed to be good. Dykstra was also a wasted talent. Hard to believe he's still only 28 in real life.

I like that you've stuck to a lot of guys who are relative unknowns or aren't "major" names even by indy standards. Gives you a great chance to create brand new characters and identities even if you aren't all that familiar with their real life work. I tend to get myself wrapped up too much in the guys I do know and my roster would wind up looking like a who's who of Art of Wrestling podcast guests.

03-02-2015, 04:22 PM

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid falling into the TNA "roster full of WWE midcarders as my main stars" trap. There will be some of those guys on there too though because... well, I just happen to really like them.

Tuesday, March 24th, 2015
The Global Uprising card is starting to take shape. As part of GFW's talent exchange and American PPV agreements with two of the top wrestling organizations in the world, it has been confirmed that the Global Uprising PPV will feature TWO major World Heavyweight championship matches as NJPW's AJ Styles and AAA's Alberto El Patron will be defending their respective titles on the show. The challengers for the titles will be announced in the coming days.

Also just announced, a tag team match pitting the next generation of the two greatest wrestling families of all time as Von Erich brothers Ross and Marshall will team up to face the Hart Family's own Torrin and Bruce Jr.

Sunday, March 29th, 2015
In a video posted on GFW's website, Jeff Jarrett confronted his Bullet Club stable mate to inform him that his opponent at Global Uprising will be a man whom he has become familiar with over the past year. After falling to him in a G1 Climax match, Styles was able to even things up at Wrestle Kingdom. And now the rubber match will be for the IWGP World Heavyweight Title as AJ Styles defends against Tetsuya Naito.

Styles then informed Jarrett of the golden, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that Bullet Club has to bring in even more gold when Alberto El Patron brings the AAA World Heavyweight Title into GFW on this one special night. This prompts Jeff Jarrett to announce his intention to challenge for Mexico's most prestigious title and officially conquer the wrestling world with Bullet Club.

In other news, several new signees have been announced to be part of the official GFW roster...

Archadia
http://www.cagematch.net/site/main/img/portrait/00002688.jpg
Archadia brings his high-flying style to Global Force. The 31 year old is a veteran on the tri-state independent scene where he has held the New Jersey State Title in JAPW for over a year.

Ashley Miller
http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110702141941/prowrestling/images/1/15/Audrey_marie_lg4.jpg
The first name announced for the Global Force women's division, known to many as Audrey Marie from her time in NXT and before that in FCW where she was once its Divas champion.

The SAT
http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/pictures/s/sats/02.jpg
Joel and Jose Maximo add to an already stacked tag team division. Having been part of the early years of both ROH and TNA, they now come to Global Force... hopefully with much better results.

Nick McNeil
http://www.accelerator3359.com/Wrestling/pictures/watson2.jpg
The Ultra-charismatic "South Beach Party Boy" formerly known as "Showtime" Percy Watson is coming to GFW. One of the shining stars of the competition era of WWE's NXT, the 6'3" 245lb former football player is known for his high energy on the mic and his athleticism in the ring.

The younger brother of WWE's Dolph Ziggler, whose arrogance he definitely shares, is sure to rub many GFW fans and wrestlers the wrong way. Before signing with WWE, he authored a book titled "I Can Make Out With Any Girl Here".

Sunday, April 5th, 2015
Alberto El Patron posted a video response to Jarrett and his challenge to face him for the title, accepting the challenge but warning him that if Bullet Club involves themselves in the match, they will be "cancelled out".

A 5 on 5 match has also been announced for the show as 5 members of Bullet Club will take on 5 members of the GFW roster to be named later. Also, one of the top female wrestlers Japan has to offer in Ayako Hamada will face newly signed Ashley Miller in the company's first women's match. Global Revolution will be live on PPV from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City in just 4 weeks. Here's a look at the current card...

WWF SmackDown! 9/11/2003

After a moving tribute to the lives lost two years ago in New York, DC, and Pennsylvania, SmackDown opens with John Cena heading to the ring. He talks some more trash about Shawn Michaels. He mostly talks about the fact that people like Shawn Michaels are the reason that people like him aren't in the main event. Michaels cost him a World Title shot at Unforgiven, true, but he and his fellow veterans are the ones making it difficult for people like Cena, the real New Generation, to take over. That's all gonna change when--

"Yooooooooooou looooook soooooo good to me!" Rico Constantino comes out to face Cena in our opener. The Doctor of Thuganomics is less than pleased at the interruption and quickly puts him away with an FU.

Shawn Michaels appears on the ramp and talks some smack as Cena walks past him to the back. Michaels has a match next, but Cena's right. He's the reason that Cena isn't on top. Because as long as there's a Shawn Michaels around, there's only room for one Main Event, and you're lookin' at him.

Michaels' opponent is his former protege, Paul London. They put on a solid match, but London makes the mistake of attempting his London Calling shooting star press before making sure Michaels was truly out. HBK rolls out of the way and blasts him with Sweet Chin Music for the win. After the match, London goes to shake his mentor's hand, but Michaels walks away. Does HBK's disdain for the future of this business know no bounds?

Edge & Christian are backstage, doing typical E&C stuff. So, you know, hilarity. They issue a challenge to the World's Greatest Tag Team. When they take the Tag Team Titles at Unforgiven, the championships will once again reek of awesomeness!

Eddie Guerrero and Triple H are headed for a collision at Unforgiven, but they're going to have to put their troubles aside for one night as they take on Too Cool. The heels are working pretty well together. Triple H prepares to hit Scotty 2 Hotty with the Pedigree when Eddie blind-tags himself into the match HARD. He goes for the cover, only to be pulled off and Pedigreed himself. The Game walks away, leaving Latino Heat to be covered by Scotty for the win. After the match, Raven again appears from seemingly nowhere to take Scotty out.

Raven grabs a microphone and tells Scotty that he's going to go through everyone Scotty cares about going up to Unforgiven, where he'll finally put this dancing charade to rest. What's happening here, and he gestures to 2 Cool, is not wrestling. This is a sideshow that has to end, and he's just the man to do it.

The Rock is out next for the next stop on his Road To Redemption as he faces off against Dirty Dozen member Maven. The plucky babyface-turned-slightly-awkward-while-trying-to-pull-off-"bad-ass"-biker falls victim to The Most Entertaining Move In Sports Entertainment and The Rock picks up yet another victory. After the match, though, Maven's leader Undertaker hits the ring and takes Rock out with The Last Ride.

He grabs a microphone and tells him that while The Rock may be on a Road To Redemption, but that road runs right through his damn yard. And in case Rock hadn't noticed, this yard is protected. At Unforgiven, the Road To Redemption becomes the Highway To Hell!

Our main event tonight is a six-man tag match pitting three members of Team BRECK-J: Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, and Rhyno against three members of the Dirty Dozen: the New Age Outlaws, and the Intercontinental Champion X-Pac. As is to be expected of a WWF six-man tag match, it degenerates down the stretch as Jericho hits a Lionsault on Road Dogg, only to take a Fameasser from Billy Gunn, whose pinfall is broken up by a Benoit diving headbutt, only to take an X-Factor from X-Pac, who eats a Gore GORE GOOOOOOOOOOOORE from the Manbest, who covers the IC Champion for the victory.

Back from our last commercial, and the table is set for the contract signing for the Unforgiven main event. Kurt Angle is the first to the ring. He takes his seat and signs. The World Champion Brock Lesnar is out next. The contract ceremony goes off without a hitch. Heh, just kidding. They argue, then they brawl, then Lesnar puts Angle through the table with an F-5. The champ stands tall as SmackDown goes off the air.

Quick Results (Final Rating 5.40)

Cena cuts promo on Michaels
John Cena over Rico Constantino
Michaels cuts promo on Cena
Shawn Michaels over Paul London
Edge & Christian challenge WGTT for Unforgiven

GFW Global Uprising (May 3rd, 2015)

Dark Match:
Ken Doane enters the ring to face White Tiger and makes the referee wait to ring the bell while he prepares for the match by doing a set of pushups, jumping jacks and situps. Once he's ready to start, White Tiger mocks him by stopping the ref from ringing the bell so he can prepare with some comical karate poses before the match finally starts. Ken Doane defeated White Tiger in 5:15 by pinfall with a Sky High Leg Drop. (Rating: E+)

PPV:
The show starts with a video highlighting the year plus build to the birth of Global Force Wrestling. It features Jeff Jarrett and all of the new stars of Global Force.

We get live shots of the crowd at the Hammerstein Ballroom while Jim Ross and Matt Striker welcome us and the live crowd to Global Uprising and they are pumped and ready for action. They don't have to wait long as music starts and the beautiful Jayme Jameson is in the ring ready to announce the first match and out come Torrin and Bruce Hart Jr. followed by the Von Erich Legacy.

In a competetive but extremely poor match, The Von Erich Legacy defeated The Hartbreakers in 14:24 when Marshall Von Erich defeated Bruce Hart, Jr by pinfall with the Von Erich claw. After the match, both teams shake hands and pose for the crowd. (Rating: E)

We go backstage where Jeff Jarrett, AJ Styles, Doc Gallows, Ken Anderson, Tama Tonga, Bad Luck Fale and Cody Hall cut a promo about their respective matches tonight. It ends with AJ saying that after tonight Bullet Club is going to quite literally run the world of wrestling.

Back in the arena, party music starts and out from the crowd and dancing the entire way to the ring comes the south beach party boy, Nick McNeil. He gets on the mic and pumps up the crowd for a bit before he's interrupted by flickering lights and gothic sounding music as we look down the aisle and see the unannounced Shannon Moore making his way to the ring for the next match!

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Nick McNeil defeated Shannon Moore in 6:37 by pinfall with a South Beach Splash. (Rating: E)

McNeil leaves through the crowd, getting some "Oh yeahs!" thrown back at him. Moore starts to stir in the ring when suddenly the lights go out. There's silence for a few seconds and then we hear a voice whisper "The carnival is coming to town." When the lights come back on, Shannon Moore is propped up sitting against the turnbuckle unconscious with a clown nose on his face.

An uneasy and confused Matt Striker and Jim Ross send us to a hype video for the upcoming IWGP World Heavyweight Title matchup. It's the rubber match between AJ Styles and Tetsuya Naito.

In a competitive bout that had a good crowd and good action, AJ Styles defeated Tetsuya Naito in 15:47 by pinfall with a Styles Clash to retain his IWGP World Heavyweight Title. The match lifted the crowd. (Rating: C-)

Bullet Club comes out to celebrate with AJ Styles and streamers flow over him while he poses with the title. After the celebration, Jim Ross and Matt Striker are preparing to send us to the next segment when Dakota Darsow walks us behind them in the crowd with a camera around his neck taking their pictures and calling obnoxiously for them to look at him. Jim Ross asks what he's doing and he replies "I'm a paparazzi!" They look at him confused before he continues. "It's a gimmick. That's what I was missing, right? That's what dad always told me! That's why I was left off of the first show. Well, look! The dancing monkey is performing! Book me!" He continues rambling until security backs him away from the camera and commentators and we move to the next match.

The commentators explain that the winner of the upcoming 4 corners high-flyer showcase will be the first man to receive a spot in the upcoming tournament to crown the first Global Force Champion.

"Right Leg" Andy Ridge enters first followed by Charles Mercury, German indy star Pierre Le Prestee and Archadia wearing a mask that makes him look like a comic book hero. Andy Ridge is the first man eliminated when he's pinned by Le Prestee. Prestee then turns around into a superkick by Mercury for the next elimination. Finally, Mercury gets caught with a hurricanrana mid-powerbomb to get pinned by Archadia in 17:55. (Rating: E-)

Los Luchas and The SAT are backstage talking when Jaden Jeter comes up to them. He firmly tells the four of them that when they represent GFW against Bullet Club tonight, it's the beginning of his journey to redemption and he will not let any of them screw it up for him.

The first lady of GFW Audrey Miller is backstage and talks about the beginning of her journey when she faces one of the greatest female wrestlers in the world in Hamada. This is followed by a video hyping Hamada.

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Audrey Miller defeated Ayako Hamada in 10:56 by pinfall after hurting her leg halfway through the match and then suddenly rolling up Hamada as she went to pick her up. After the match, Hamada gives a little laugh before walking over to Audrey, hugging her and walking out. (Rating: E+)

Alberto El Patron is backstage talking about Jeff Jarrett doing the right thing for and not disrespecting AAA and the business by trying to use Bullet Club to help him win. He then warned Bullet Club that if they do try to get involved, they better be ready for a fight, too.

A video airs hyping Bullet Club and the chaos they've caused in their time in New Japan.

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Bad Luck Fale, Tama Tonga, Cody Hall, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson of Bullet Club defeated Jaden Jeter, Los Luchas and The SAT in 17:11 when Doc Gallows defeated Joel Maximo by pinfall after Jaden Jeter DDTed Maximo and then walked out on his team after they failed to tag him in late in the match. (Rating: E+)

Bullet Club celebrates another win for a bit before leaving the ring. Suddenly Jaden Jeter comes back in and attacks a tired Los Luchas and SAT with a chair, hitting them all repeatedly as he yells "I told you not to ruin this for me!"

Jeter leaves and officials come from the back to help Los Luchas and The SAT out of the ring. As that's happening, music starts to play and out comes JD Maverick who ignores both teams walking by him, seemingly fixated on himself instead. He gets on the mic and announces that he is searching for a valet and he's opening the eligibility to any woman in the crowd who thinks she can match his physical perfection. He looks around and picks out a beautiful woman from the crowd. He has her come in the ring, walks around her, looking her up and down and examining her, clearly liking what he sees. He has her take her pants down to examine more and suddenly he gets a horrified look on his face and points to a spot on her hip where a small, almost completely unnoticeable white spot is. "... Is that... a scar?" "I fell of my bicycle when I was 9." she says. He acts like he's going to vomit at the barely visible blemish before angrily yelling at her to get out of the ring, telling her he won't accept anything less than perfection. She runs out of the ring crying and out comes Xavier for the next match.

In an extremely poor match, JD Maverick defeated Xavier in 13:20 after the girl who was rejected by Michaels rushed the ring to trip Xavier as he came off the ropes which distracted the referee and allowed Maverick to hit a low blow and a rollup. The woman is dragged away by security as she screams for Maverick's attention. (Rating: E)

A video is shown hyping the upcoming AAA World Heavyweight Title match between Jeff Jarrett and Alberto El Patron.

In a bout that had a good crowd and good action, Alberto El Patrón defeated Jeff Jarrett in 16:47 by submission with a Rolling Cross Armbreaker to retain the AAA World Heavyweight Championship. Bullet Club tried to interfere in the match but before they could do anything, the majority of the GFW roster including Nick McNeil, White Tiger, Archadia, Pierre Le Prestee, Andy Ridge, the Von Erichs, the Harts and Xavier came out to stand in their way. Jarrett pleaded with them from the ring to mind their own business but they stood blocking Bullet Club from getting to the ring as El Patron was able to get the victory. The show ends with El Patron celebrating and Jarrett looking at the roster of his company staring down his Bullet Club stable mates as he nurses his right arm. (Rating: D+)

Final show rating: D
Attendance: 1,490

Not the best show but I'm in the process of introducing new characters to build up while using the star power from the other companies to keep things afloat so that I'm not main eventing PPVs with unknowns. It's an awkward transition phase right now. Also haven't been able to get a TV deal which is gonna make things much tougher.

WCW Thunder 9/11/2003

On the two-year anniversary of the worst terror attack in US history, the arena for Thunder is draped in red white and blue. And, since this is WCW, the first wrestler we see is Mexico's Juventud Guerrera. He's teaming with AJ Styles to take on Crowbar and "Wildcat" Chris Harris. These four men will meet in Monday night's final two quarterfinal matches. Lots of high-flying action with Harris working as the "big guy," since, as we've established, EWR thinks he's smaller than he is. Eventually, though, AJ Styles hits Crowbar with the Styles Clash to pick up the victory for his team.

Scott Hall is backstage. He's done joking around, man. He was making fun of a guy who's pushing 50, still hanging in there. But Koloff had to make it personal. So at Fall Brawl, play time is over.

The quarterfinals of the Cruiserweight Title tournament kicks off with "Primetime" Elix Skipper, the man who advanced to this match by virtue of Rey Mysterio Jr. joining Team WCW and forfeiting his spot. He takes on the young upstart Harry Smith, who defeated Ca$h last week. It's a good match that serves its purpose, which is putting Smith over as the dark horse in the tournament. Smith hits a running powerslam to make it to the final four.

Backstage, two of Monday's main events (no, seriously) Konnan and Ernest "The Cat" Miller are being held apart by officials. Something about last week rubbed these guys the wrong way, and now it looks like they're on a collision course.

Our second semifinal berth is on the line next as Shannon Moore, who defeated Jason Jett last week, takes on Chavo Guerrero Jr. who eliminated Jamie Noble in the tournament's very first match. This is the match of the night as both men give it their all to grab some eyes. Chavo picks up the victory with a brainbuster to set up a semifinal showdown with Harry Smith next week on Thunder.

Sting is backstage without the nWo. He recaps the story thus far, they took out Hogan at Road Wild, only to have Shane Helms take Hogan's place in the main event and pull off the upset when Hogan returned to interfere. In ten days, Hogan brings his crew and Sting brings his. There may be some dissension in the nWo, but when we get to Atlanta, we'll stand united. Hogan, for everything you've done, in ten days... this means War.

Speaking of the dissension in the nWo, the "Dog-Faced Gremlin" Rick Steiner continues his attempt at making the War Games match. If he can defeat any member of Team WCW, he will take Scott Norton's spot in the main event. So far, he's been squashed by Goldberg and defeated by Booker T. Tonight, he faces Rey Mysterio Jr. Early on, Steiner goes for a Steinerline, but Rey swings around his arm, turns it into a headscissor rollup and picks up the win. Steiner freaks out, as he realizes he's now down to two more opportunities.

-EDIT - Totally forgot that Hulk Hogan cut a promo between these matches. Sorry, brother.

One man we've not heard from yet this month is the WCW United States Champion Mike Awesome. Tonight, he defends his title against Big Van Vader, who has been having recent problems with Road Warrior Animal. Surprisingly, Animal gets involved! Whaaaaaat?!? After a ref bump, Animal gets in his shots on Vader allowing Awesome to hit an Awesome Splash and retain the title. Animal and Vader brawl after the match.

An unmistakable guitar screech brings the crowd to its feet as WCW Executive Committee member Bret Hart says that if Animal and Vader want to tear each other apart, they'll get to. In Atlanta, at Fall Brawl in ten days, it's Road Warrior Animal vs. Big Van Vader in a street fight!

Just as on Nitro, our main event tonight is a tag team match involving the participants in Fall Brawl's World Title match. World Champion Shane Helms teams with Team WCW's Booker T to take on #1 contender Jeff Jarrett and the New World Order's Lex Luger. In a true WCW shocker, the match degenerates into a brawl. The rest of the nWo and the other members of Team WCW make their way to the ring but are held apart. Amidst the distraction, Jarrett blasts Helms with a guitar and covers him for the win. After the match, the ring fills with bodies and the announcers freak out as we fade out.

On the two-year anniversary of the worst terror attack in US history, the arena for Thunder is draped in red white and blue. And, since this is WCW, the first wrestler we see is Mexico's Juventud Guerrera.

:lol:

Some really awesome matches on Anarchy Rulz, especially the main event. Very interested in seeing that you gave Tajiri the belt. I was always a big fan of his. Would love to see where things go for him.

WWF NXT
Week 3: April 17, 2002

After all of the usual pomp and circumstance with the pyro, the legendary nWo theme hits as Scott Hall makes his way down the ring to angry boos to start us off.

Segment 1: Scott Hall/Kevin Haas/Tazz segment

He gets into the ring and says “hey yo”. He does his traditional “survey says” promo before the nWo theme hits again and out comes Charlie Haas under the guise of “Big Sexy” Kevin Haas, wearing the same wig and ridiculous outfit that he wore last week. He climbs into the ring over the top rope and thrusts his arm to the sky…only to collapse to the mat in a heap, clutching his bicep.

Hall looks befuddled as trainers come out to tend to Haas and help him off to the back, still holding his bicep in apparent agony. Tazz informs Hall that his rookie doesn’t appear to be fit to compete tonight, so Hall himself will have to face Haas’ opponent…Umaga!

Overall Rating: 75%, and evidently Kevin Haas gained overness for injuring his bicep

Segment 2: Scott Hall vs. Umaga (1-0) w/ Crash Holly

Whatever happened to Haas might have been a blessing in disguise, as the last time we saw Umaga he was bulldozing through the imposing Ron Waterman. Hall does his best to try and get the match under control, but Umaga keeps busting out flurries of power moves. Eventually after a Samoan Drop, Scott Hall rolls out of the ring under the bottom rope to catch a breather. He circles the ring and clotheslines Umaga’s pro, Crash Holly on the outside. Hall climbs back up to the apron, but then thinks better of it and drops back down. Hall channels his inner Dante from Clerks, deciding he isn’t even supposed to be here today. He walks to the back to boos and takes the countout loss.

Crowd Reaction: 68%, Match Quality: 78%, Overall Rating: 73%, Umaga gained overness

Segment 3: Eric Angle video

Continuing the trend from the first two installments of NXT, we have our rookie profile videos and this time the subject is Eric Angle. Angle discusses amateur wrestling background at Waynesburg University. He knows that everybody is going to compare him to his younger brother Kurt, and he helped him out against the Undertaker a couple years back (a video clip of Angle’s assist at Survivor Series 2000 was shown). But he wants to use NXT as a platform to show the world that he’s his own man so he can raise the family legacy to even greater heights.

Overall Rating: 68%, Eric Angle gained overness

Segment 4: Chris Nowinski (0-1) w/ Al Snow vs. Shelton Benjamin (1-0) w/ Rob Van Dam

In a rarity so far on NXT, we saw minimal involvement from the pros in this one…funny what happens when both pros are face. Benjamin used plenty of flashy moves, whereas Nowinski stuck the basics. The Harvard graduate did feel the need to gloat anytime he executed even the most basic of maneuvers, but he did genuinely wow the crowd with a spinning double underhook slam that he calls the Honor Roll. Benjamin got his foot on the ropes at 2, prompting a temper tantrum from Nowinski. By the time Nowinski was finished bitching, Benjamin was back on his feet and turned Nowinski around for a T-Bone Suplex for the win.

Crowd Reaction: 54%, Match Quality: 78%, Overall Rating: 66%

Segment 5: John Cena video

John Cena’s introductory video is next. He talks about being an All-American center for Springfield College before entering the realm of professional bodybuilding. But don’t let the packaging fool you. He may look like the perfect prototype for what WWF is looking for, but he’s not some dumb jock. If he’s going to win this contest he’ll need to stick to his core values: hustle, loyalty, and respect. Hey, that sounds like a pretty marketable catchphrase. Maybe it’ll make him some money someday.

Overall Rating: 69%, John Cena gained overness

Segment 6: John Cena/Edge interview

Yep, we go from one Cena talking segment to another. Somebody in the WWF offices clearly likes this guy. Jonathan Coachman asks Cena his thoughts on Kurt Angle needing to resort to cheating to beat him last week. Before he can say much though, Kurt and Eric Angle are on the scene. Kurt tells Cena to stop being a sore loser and that the better man won. In fact, his brother could whip Cena AND his pro’s ass easily. Eric looks caught off guard by the comment, as Cena and Edge advise Angle to bring it on. Before things can escalate into a fistfight, Tazz steps in to advise them that next week Kurt and Eric will face Edge and Cena in a tag team match (playa?)

Overall Rating: 79%, John Cena, Eric Angle, and Tazz all gained overness

Segment 7: Ron Waterman (0-1) w/ Hardcore Holly vs. Randy Orton (1-0) w/ Mr. Perfect

The main event was a decent brawl between the two up and comers. The crowd was solidly behind Orton, but the match itself was fairly even. Waterman takes control midway through and works over Orton to build some heat, but then Orton went into fiery baby face mode. Orton topples an interfering Hardcore Holly off the apron and then plants Waterman with his unique backbreaker, now known as the Overdrive.

Before Orton can go for the pin, his pro jumps on the ring apron, screaming at his rookie to use the Perfect Plex to finish off Waterman. As the ref tries to get Perfect to come off the apron, “Above Average” Mike Sanders enters the ring and hits Orton with his own finishing move. Sanders exits as Waterman comes to. Waterman connects with the Water Bomb (sitout powerbomb) and steals away a victory.

Holly and Waterman celebrate the cheap victory…but the announcers can’t help but wonder what business Sanders had interfering in this main event. Sanders backs up the rampway with a shit-eating grin on his face as we fade to black.

Crowd Reaction: 57%, Match Quality: 83%, Overall Rating: 70%

68% Overall Rating for NXT
1.13 rating

3 shows all hovering around the same rating, quite good for a show featuring a lot of unknowns. I’m happy with it. In post-show e-mail notes, Scott Hall bitched about Umaga working too stiff, and he lost around 20 points of morale for having to job to him. It was a fucking count-out, Scott! Quit your bitching!

Chris Jericho asks to face Chris Benoit. Great idea, Chris! Now just go ahead and tell that to the guy actually booking your brand. Similarly, Big Show thinks it would be a good idea to work with Kevin Nash. Somebody better show him their match from Souled Out 1998.

WCW Monday Nitro 9/15/2003

The final Nitro before Fall Brawl opens with tag-team action involving two of the Cruiserweight Title tournament semifinalists and two men on a collision course. It's Harry Smith and Ernest "The Cat" Miller vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Konnan! Surprisingly solid match considering the hodgepodge nature of the teams. The two upcoming battles wind up becoming more than referee Charles Robinson can contain and he calls for the bell, disqualifying both teams!

WCW Executive Committee member Vince Russo comes out onto the ramp and announces what we all kind of assumed: Ernest Miller vs. Konnan will happen in six days at Fall Brawl!

Two spots have been filled in the semifinals, and #3 is on the line next as the phenomenal AJ Styles (who eliminated Billy Kidman in round one) takes on Crowbar (who dispatched "Above Average" Mike Sanders). Tonight's match of the night is a high-flying affair. The brash Styles hits his trademark Styles Clash on Crowbar, then heads to the top for a Spiral Tap. He takes too long playing to the crowd, which allows Crowbar time to climb up beside him, push him off the top, and hit a moonsault for the victory! After the match, AJ throws a fit. This title is his, dammit!

Backstage, a handful of wrestlers are watching the match on a monitor. As AJ limps past them, he overhears what he's pretty sure is laughing. He turns to confront the source... "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan! Styles blasts Duggan with a kick and walks off.

Crowbar has joined Harry Smith and Chavo Guerrero Jr. in the semifinals, and the final spot is up for grabs as America's Most Wanted's "Wildcat" Chris Harris (who took Psychosis out of the tournament) takes on Juventud Guerrera (who won the best match of the tournament thus far against Ultimo Dragon). Solid action, but Harris' Cinderella run comes to an end at the hands of Juvi's 450 splash. After the match, Chuck Palumbo assaults Harris, laying him out with a Jungle Kick.

"American Made" hits the speakers as Hulk Hogan leads Team WCW to the ring. Once in the ring, the quintet of Hogan, Bill Goldberg, Booker T, Dustin Rhodes, and Rey Mysterio Jr. strike an imposing figure. Hogan grabs the mic and cuts a pretty fantastic promo about War Games.

The nWo theme hits, and the six members make their way to the ring, led by Sting. Sting barks some orders at Rick Steiner, who enters the ring to face Hogan in our next contest. Steiner is 0-3 in his attempts to make the War Games team. He falls to 0-4 after a big boot/legdrop combo.

An ailing Steiner is helped to his feet by his brother as the nWo enters the ring. Team WCW leaves, because now it's the heels' turn to cut a promo. Sting says that Steiner has one final opportunity on Thursday. If he can defeat Dustin Rhodes, he's in. If not... he's out. Both Steiner brothers look terrified while Scott Norton almost kind of sort of smiles.

Sting is in action in a rare TV match (hey, if I'm making Hogan do it, Sting wants to play, too!) against "Cowboy" James Storm. It's almost like wrestling is staged, because after Sting hits the Scorpion Deathdrop and wins the match, Sean O'Haire hits the ring and lays Storm out with a Widowmaker!

Eventually, they're separated, Chris Harris comes out to join Storm, and Chuck Palumbo joins O'Haire. AMW challenges O'Haire and Palumbo to a match at Fall Brawl... and they accept!

Tonight's main event is a six-man Fall Brawl preview as the World Champion Shane Helms teams with Scott Hall and Road Warrior Animal against the #1 contender Jeff Jarrett, Nikita Koloff, and Big Van Vader. It's better than the combined ages of the participants would make you think, with the young champion hitting Jarrett with a Vertebreaker to get his win back from Thunder. The three singles matches get into individual staredowns as Nitro goes off the air!

WWF Raw 9/15/2003

WWF World Champion Brock Lesnar and the Tag Team Champions Shelton Benjamin are in the ring to start the show. In 13 days, their titles will all be on the line. They focus mostly on Lesnar's defense against Kurt Angle, and none of them are really strong promos, so there's not much to report here.

At Unforgiven, Raven will face Scotty 2 Hotty. On SmackDown last week, he said he'd tear through all of Scotty's friends one by one. Tonight, he starts with the dancin' fatty Rikishi. And he wins. Yay plot development! After the match, Raven adds an extra Raven Effect DDT, just 'cause.

Eddie Guerrero is backstage. He tells some backstory stuff about how he and Triple H were Tag Team Champions earlier this year because they were both willing to lie, cheat, and steal their way to getting what they want. Shockingly, the partnership didn't work out, and now in less than two weeks, Eddie will get what he's wanted since King of the Ring, the chance to finally unplug The Game once and for all.

Two young stars on the rise are out next as Randy Orton takes on the high-flying Jeff Hardy. It's an exciting match that goes back and forth several times. Orton goes for his trademark backbreaker, but Hardy rolls through it and stacks Orton on top of himself for the surprise victory! Orton loses his mind and attacks Jeff after the bell, throwing him to the apron, then planting him with a DDT off the second rope. What an innovative maneuver that's not at all contrived!

Backstage, Edge & Christian have a rebuttal for the World's Greatest Tag Team. They reek. Not like E&C, who reek only of awesomeness. High five for wordplay!

E&C's Team BRECK-J stablemates Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho team up next to take on The Dirty Dozen's Big Show and Kane. The monsters dominate early, but eventually Benoit hits a diving headbutt on Show as he tries to cover Jericho, not realizing he's the illegal man. Benoit covers Show for the victory. But they're not done as all four men brawl after the match until they're separated by officials. CAN WE PLEASE HAVE SOME DECORUM?!?

John Cena, the Doctor of Thuganomics, cuts a dope freestyle promo on Shawn Michaels, HBShizzle, the Heartbreak Shid apparently. He finally says what we've all pretty much expected all month - they're fighting at Unforgiven.

X-Pac has narrowly escaped some matches lately with his Intercontinental Championship intact. Tonight, he defends against the manbeast Rhyno. Rhyno is kicking the everloving crap out of Pac until a ref bump allows Hardcore Holly to take Rhyno out, allowing X-Pac to get the cheap win. After the match, Rhyno GOOOOOOOOOORES the shit out of both of them to get his heat back.

The Dirty Dozen floods the ring and Rhyno wisely exits. Undertaker grabs the mic and talks some trash about his Unforgiven match against The Rock. More Road To Redemption runs through my yard stuff. Hey, it's 2003 Undertaker, what do you expect?

Oh, hey, speaking of The Rock, he's in action in our main event against Paul London. London had the match of his career against his mentor Shawn Michaels four days ago on SmackDown. It's not quite on that level, but they still have a very good match. Rock wins clean, then shakes the youngster's hand as a show of respect. Rock remains undefeated on the Road To Redemption!

He grabs the microphone and rebuts Undertaker's promo. He runs down the Dozen one by one in hilarious Rock fashion, including numerous digs at just how random that whole stable is. Seriously, what's the point? Aaaaaaaaand that's how the show ends. Good night, everybody!

Still in monthly online PPV mode for now for GFW as the best TV deal I could get is syndication and I don't think it's worth it. There could have been a better way to go about this but... fuck it. I'm going realistic and I didn't wanna cheat the system and just assign myself a TV deal. Making running storylines a little tougher though.

Global Force Wrestling June PPV online preview:
In a post-show interview from Global Uprising, Jeff Jarrett and Bullet Club, AJ Styles confronted Jarrett about the GFW roster getting involved in his match and preventing Bullet Club from interfering. Jarrett said he'd talk to the guys and get things straight before announcing AJ Styles would take on Alberto El Patron in a monumental IWGP World Champion vs AAA World Champion match at the June PPV.

Jarrett confronts the GFW roster in the dressing room. Nick McNeil acts as the spokesman and explains that they aren't like the other guys who have contracts elsewhere arouns the world and have backup plans and they aren't gonna allow GFW to become corrupt like other wrestling companies and watch it burn to the ground before it even gets going. That's they came out during the main event to make sure it didn't happen. Jarrett seems to be understanding and tells them all "You're right" before shaking everyone's hand individually and leaving.

GFW's next iPPV will be LIVE Sunday June 14th from Kingsport, Tennessee. Here are the announced matches:

AAA World Heavyweight Champion vs IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Non-Title Match:
Alberto El Patron vs AJ Styles

The Von Erich Legacy vs Bullet Club

Cody Hall vs Xavier

We'll also see the debut of second generation star Jesse White as well as former NXT Tag Team Champion Joel Redman (AKA Oliver Grey). Also in action will be JD Maverick as he continues the search for his new valet. The first entrant into the Global Force Championship tournament, the masked Archadia will also compete.

GFW on PPV (June 14th, 2015)

Dark Match: RJ Brewer vs Bruce Hart Jr.

RJ Brewer comes out to explain to the crowd that while many perceive his views on immigration to be controversial, he is not a racist and makes it a point to wish Alberto El Patron the best of luck in his match tonight. RJ Brewer beats Bruce Hart by pinfall in 4:30 after an implant DDT. (Rating: E)

After a video hyping tonight's show and the historic inter-promotional main event, Jim Ross and Matt Striker welcome us to the show and the beautiful Payton Rain is in the ring to announce the first match.

Kenny Doane vs Jesse "The Great" White

Kenny Doane enters first, doing pushups in the ring while he awaits his opponent. Out comes Jesse White, stopping at the top of the ramp and spreading red and black strips of war paint down his cheeks, an homage to his father, Vader. Halfway through the match, Doane takes control and gets on the mic and begins taunting White, saying he can't keep up because he's an out of shape pig just like his father was. This makes White irate and he tackles Doane, taking control and running out and grabbing a chair. As he goes to hit Doane with it, the ref grabs it and the distraction allows Doane to roll White up for the pin at 11:14. (Rating: E+)

After the match, Doane runs out and White follows right behind him, chasing all the way backstage until he loses Doane. Jack Korpella is backstage to get a word with White and he explains that he is proud of everything his father accomplished and promising Doane is gonna pay.

Back in the ring, JD Maverick comes out to pull another woman from the crowd to evaluate for his valet search. He picks another woman and picks apart her minor flaws before telling her that last month, the woman he rejected stalked him as he was leaving the arena so he's gonna have to have security escort her from the building now, which they do.

JD Maverick vs Pierre Le Prestee

Prestee puts up a good fight but the match ends when Maverick gets the pinfall via top rope dropkick in 8:43. After the match, another woman runs out from the crowd for Maverick and has to be stopped by security as he laughs and walks out. (Rating: E-)

Bullet Club members AJ Styles, Cody Hall, Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows and Jeff Jarrett are backstage talking about their upcoming matches. Styles questions Jeff Jarrett's loyalty to Bullet Club after he failed to put his GFW roster in check and Jarrett assured him it will be fine.

The Von Erich Legacy vs Bullet Club (Gallows and Anderson)

In a long, back and forth match, The Von Erichs got countless near falls until Gallows seemed to get poked in the eye and then punched the referee, causing a disqualification at the 16:00 mark. Ross and Striker question whether the young Von Erichs were giving Bullet Club more than they could handle and Gallows intentionally got himself DQed to save face. (Rating: D-)

As The Von Erichs stand in the ring recovering, out comes Dakota Darsow, in full Native American makeup and attire. He gets a mic and does an awful accent saying "I heard there were a couple cowboys out here... As your sworn enemy, I challenge you to a match." They look at each other puzzled before leaving the ring as security comes in to take Darsow out and he screams, sarcastically yelling at Jim Ross as he gets taken away "This is what they want! A gimmick machine! I'll sell out!"

Backstage we see Jack Korpella interviewing Gallows and Anderson and Gallows gets angry at the idea that they were afraid they might lose to the Von Erichs saying it was an accident.

Oliver Redman vs Shannon Moore

The UK's own, former NXT Tag Champion Oliver Grey makes his debut as Oliver Redman in a relatively quick squash, pinning Shannon Moore after a bridging belly to back suplex in 4:01 (Rating: E)

After the match, Redman leaves and the lights flicker for a bit before turning red as a voice starts whispering in carny lingo before saying "The carnival is here..." The lights go out all the way and suddenly a ball of fire appears at the entrance ramp. And another. And another. When the lights slowly get brighter, we see Sinn Bodhi at the top of the ramp with a fire stick in his hand with two men and a woman in makeup and goth garb behind him. They slowly walk to the ring and kneel in front of Shannon Moore. Bodhi explains that they are only here to help him. He says Shannon has lost his confidence. They all rejected him. To the point where he was known as "The Reject". He says it's time to embrace that and introduces Facade, Kraven and Anastasia. They are The Carnival of Sinn. Bodhi helps Shannon up and he leaves with them.

Jack Korpella is backstage with "The South Beach Party Boy" Nick McNeil where he says he hopes Jarrett does the right thing for the company and not for Bullet Club tonight. He's interrupted by Jaden Jeter who says he and McNeil want the same thing. He wants McNeil to join him in his fight against this company becoming just another place trying to hold guys like them down. McNeil gives an hesitant look and says he'll think about it.

Cody Hall vs Xavier

In a competitive match, Cody Hall beats Xavier with a lariat in 13:19. (Rating: E-)

Alberto El Patron cuts a promo backstage on AJ Styles and what tonight's match means to him.

Charles Mercury vs Archadia

Before the match starts, Charles Mercury gets on the mic and offers Archadia $5,000 dollars to put his spot in the title tournament on the line tonight. Archadia just shakes his head and Mercury ups the offer to $10,000 but Archadia still says no. The match starts and Archadia takes advantage on the outside only for Mercury to grab a chair and hit Archadia with it causing a DQ at 5:51.

After the match, Mercury throws Archadia into the ring and ties him to the ropes before pulling off his elbow pad with an evil grin and walking out. When gets untied, he seems emotionally shaken as he holds his elbow and the commentators seem confused.

Jim Ross and Matt Striker announce that the tournament to crowd the first ever Global Force Champion will officially begin in 2 months with qualifying matches happening next month.

Audrey Miller vs Jayme Jameson

Hamada comes out to watch the match from ringside. Jameson tries to get the pin with her feet on the ropes at one point but Hamada knocks them off. Miller gets the pinfall with the roundup in 5:13

After the match, Miller gives Hamada a look of approval while Jameson looks on angry in the ring.

A video airs hyping the debut of The Thomaselli Family where they walk around their childhood hometown in the Bronx and talk about how they're gonna use GFW to give their family the good life.

Jaden Jeter comes out to announce that Los Luchas are not in the building tonight as Phoenix suffered an injury last week when he attacked him. The SAT IS in there though and they want a fight. He introduces the Riggs brothers, Johnny and Jason. Two guys who were, much like him, once signed to the big leagues and never given their proper shot.

The SAT vs The Riggs Brothers

Joel Maximo goes up to the top for a moonsault on Johnny only to be tripped up by Jaden Jeter as Jason distracts the referee, allowing Johnny to roll him up and pick up the pinfall in 11:17. (Rating: E+)

A video airs hyping the upcoming champion vs. champion match

Alberto El Patron vs AJ Styles

Jeff Jarrett comes out to sit at ringside for the match. As El Patron gets an advantage, Bullet Club members Cody Hall, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows come out only to be met by Nick McNeil and the Von Erichs. As the match continues in the ring, the six men brawl at ringside but Doc Gallows is able to slide a pair of brass knuckles into the ring. Just as AJ reaches down for them, Jeff Jarrett stands up and grabs them, shaking his head "no" as AJ gets rolled up but kicks out at two. The match continues as the brawl outside works its way backstage and finally AJ Styles goes for the styles clash only to have it reversed into a rollup for the three count as Alberto El Patron wins the battle of champions in 26:30. (Rating: D+)

After the match, Styles walks out and confronts Jarrett who just shrugs and says "sorry" before Styles suddenly kicks him in the head, knocking him face first into the ringpost and out cold before being chased away by El Patron. The GFW roster comes out to check on Jarrett as the show goes off the air.

Final show rating: D+

So... I'm considering making a WMMA3 mod for wrestling and starting a game of that that treats wrestling as if it were real. Thoughts?

As always seems to be the case this time of year, the temptation is growing to try another modern WWE game from post-WM and on. If I were to do that at some point, I'd almost surely need to not post anything except for PPVs and the like :o

I feel like "back in the day" I'd get on a serious roll with my feds because I'd just book whenever I felt like playing and would only post the PPVs here. When I try to force myself to post every TV show I run it winds up slowing me down because it ends up being more of a time commitment than I really have available.

But when I would only post PPVs I'd be able to sit down and do a whole week or two of television when motivated and it'd keep the fed plugging along at a decent pace.

#1-norm-fan

03-26-2015, 12:00 AM

I think a quick synopsis of the month leading up to the PPV and then just posting the PPV would work for something like WWE. With my GFW game, I felt the need to go into too much detail to give a mental image for all the unknown characters. With a WWE game, just a quick rundown of what the guys did during the month would suffice though.

We could also all do some sort of roster split game. In fact, a multi-player game of some sort seems like something that should have been done before in this thread. Not sure if I missed it or not.

#1-norm-fan

03-26-2015, 12:26 AM

That'd be interesting. So basically every match is a legit MMA fight or something? It'd be cool to see who the top guys wind up being in such a mod, besides Brock of course.

Basically, the idea was to have everyone perform like their character. For example, Brock Lesnar would kill everyone easily in real life but instead I'm giving everyone skills that match their "imaginary" wrestling skills. Which means that suddenly John Cena has tons of heart and is actually capable of beating Brock at any time. Same for a guy like Daniel Bryan who will suffer from being undersized but has certain special fighting skills and a ton of heart that makes him a threat.

Just seems like it would be something different. I started on the mod a little last night and got surprisingly far in only an hour or so.

We could also all do some sort of roster split game. In fact, a multi-player game of some sort seems like something that should have been done before in this thread. Not sure if I missed it or not.

I think it's been tried a few times, mostly in TEW which I've never really been able to get into because of how in depth it is. I know that Champion of Europa and I did a split EWR game at one point, a loooooong time ago, probably back on the old boards. He booked Raw and I booked SmackDown, and we'd just swap the files to one another.

It was fun, we did a draft before starting the game and set the TV stations so that each of them had the max potential rating so we could fairly judge who was booking the best show.

Evil Vito

03-27-2015, 02:38 PM

And yeah, if I did a modern WWE game I'd stick to just monthly recaps and PPVs. I doubt I'd get started on it until next week at the earliest pending the results of WrestleMania. Frankly I might even just do a game booking WM 31 on my own and going from there.

Dunno. Not willing to say my NXT game is dead yet either, I've just been bogged down with other projects the last couple of weekends so my time to sit down and write is limited.

ECW Hardcore TV (9/16/2003)

The show opens with Paul Heyman in his office backstage. "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. And two nights ago, Extreme Championship Wrestling proved that we are still the true innovators of pay-per-view with our Anarchy Rulz event. In six weeks, on October 26 we will return to pay-per-view with a show called Ultimate Jeopardy. On that show, the brand-new ECW World Heavyweight Champion, the Japanese buzzsaw Yoshihiro Tajiri will defend his title against the man who defeated Masato Tanaka two nights ago, Mister Pay-Per-View, Rob Van Dam! Thank you, and enjoy the show."

Steve Prazak and Joel Gertner welcome us to the show from inside the arena. They talk about tonight's huge Sabu/Tajiri main event as Erik Watts is making his entrance. Joe E. Legend is already in the ring waiting for him when suddenly, he's laid out by a steel chair by Ken Shamrock! Shamrock then blasts Watts with the chair as well! The former World Champion is on a rampage. He pummels both downed competitors, then clamps Legend in an ankle lock. Shamrock has, dare I say it, snapped and become a bad-ass submission machine!

"All-American Boys" hits as the referees clear the ring and Danny Davis the other ECW agents somehow get Shamrock over the barricade. The unlikely tandem of Little Guido and Nathan Jones are the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers' opponents tonight, but their lack of chemistry is overpowered by decades of partnership and the Quebec Press, and the Rougeaus pick up the victory.

Back from break ECW Television Champion Gedo is set to defend his championship against Jerry Lynn, who tore the house down against Low Ki at Anarchy Rulz. Lynn spends a good chunk of the match selling the beatdown from Ki, but he does eventually catch Gedo in a mistake and hits a cradle piledriver for the win! After the match, Lynn celebrates with the championship.

Christopher Daniels cuts a promo and is an unhappy bastard. He picked up a clean victory over Sabu two nights ago, but he's still looking around at a company that celebrates anarchy and wondering how it still functions. This place needs order, and the Fallen Angel is the one to bring it. Cue Metallica. "Enter Sandman" hits and the crowd goes ballistic. Daniels continues to deride the Extreme side of ECW while its poster child smashes a beer can against his forehead. It looks like we've got an impromptu match on our hands!

Sandman takes a swing at Daniels with his Singapore cane, but Daniels dodges to the floor to avoid it. Finally, Daniels disarms Sandman and begins working him over with actual wrestling maneuvers. Sandman does some brawling and manages one of his corner sentons, but eventually Daniels' superior speed and skill is too much, and he picks up the win with Angel's Wings.

Two nights ago, La Resistance won a threeway dance to become #1 contenders for the Tag Team Titles. Tonight, they cash in that title opportunity against Danny Doring and Roadkill! We've already had one title change tonight (and two in the last 48 hours), will we see a third tonight? It's a good match that sees a bunch of near-falls both ways. Doring heads to the top rope for his Danaconda legdrop, but he's shoved off by Cyrus The Virus! Rene Dupree takes advantage and covers Doring for the win. After the match, Cyrus helps Dupree and Grenier issue a bit of a beating to the former champs.

Cyrus grabs a microphone. He introduces Dupree and Grenier as his clients. He then motions to the back, and they're joined by Sonny Siaki, Little Guido, and Nathan Jones. Cyrus says that the six of them are The Infection. The Tag Team Titles were just the first step. Soon, this team will have infected all of Extreme Championship Wrestling!

Siaki remains in the ring after a commercial break. 2 Cold Scorpio makes his entrance, only to be blindsided by Ken Shamrock! Shamrock hits a massive belly-to-belly suplex on the stage, then sprints to the ring. He tackles Siaki, then begins raining elbows down on his face. ECW officials once again somehow manage to run him off, but the damage is done.

Backstage, Bill Alfonso is hyping up Rob Van Dam and Sabu. They hype Van Dam's title match with Tajiri in six weeks, but they also talk about Sabu's main event tonight against Tajiri. The roles are reversed from years ago when it was Van Dam softening up Bam Bam Bigelow for Sabu's TV Title match, and the irony or whatever it is (they're not real clear on what irony actually is) is not lost on them.

Our main event is everything you'd expect from Sabu and Yoshihiro Tajiri. Lots of super-stiff kicks and strikes, plus some high spots that don't QUITE work out like Sabu had planned. Lots of chairs, some tables, and one big Kick Of Death that ends the match. Tajiri stands over Sabu with the title as we go off the air.

This is cool stuff... Can someone give me the cliff notes about what this is all about and how this is done?

The two main games we use are EWR (Extreme Warfare Revenge, which is what Vito and I use) and TEW (not actually sure what it stands for, which is what Fan uses for his GFW game). They're booking simulators. EWR was made in 2003 and comes loaded with all the wrestlers and staff from that time. There are tons of fan-made mods with modern rosters or pretty much any historical period you can think of, or any "alternate reality" as well.

TEW is a much more advanced game. Because it originally cost money (EWR Has always been free), the creator (Adam Ryland) couldn't include real names. So it comes preloaded with made-up names and promotions. There are, naturally, a bunch of fan-made mods to include the real thing.

EWR is really simple. You can knock out a show in 15 minutes. TEW has a lot more options, so if you really want to dive deep, you could take an hour. The game, though, only provides so much information. These stories that we post are mostly just us expanding on what we've booked in-game for our own amusement.

#1-norm-fan

04-29-2015, 04:55 AM

Yeah, I've actually got TEW 2013 which cost money but is ridiculously in-depth. I've actually started a game where I take over WCW at the beginning of 2000 and try to keep it from going under but like loopy said, when you're sharing here, it's best to go into some detail past what the game gives you for the benefit of others. That's what keeps people from following up on their "dynasties". Having to write stuff out for just one or two people.

There are websites for people who are REALLY into the booking of dynasties and stuff and you can share/talk/getfeedback and stuff. I've just never really gotten THAT deep into it. I was always more comfortable just seeing if I could help build TPWW its own community but I don't think there's that many EWR/TEW players to keep it alive. Which is odd because with constant mods to keep up with the times, it really is a timeless game. Especially with all the flaws in WWE's current booking style.

Where do you get these games... and what PC specs do you need to run them?

#1-norm-fan

05-01-2015, 08:35 AM

I'm not a computer whiz but they're not very flashy games. I assume they can run fine on any remotely decent PC.

You can download EWR, which is free and preferred by a lot of people because of its simplicity and the ability to quickly run through months of booking at a time here...

http://www.ewwarehouse.info/mod-index/ew-mod-index/

The very top one (EWR 4.2) being the latest. You can also find all the roster updates on that page. I suggest trying that one out first and seeing how you like it.

Then there's TEW, which is much more in depth but also more time consuming. The first version is free. You can download it, along with the roster updates here...

http://www.ewwarehouse.info/mod-index/tew-05-mod-index/

And finally, if you play those for a bit and want even more depth, there's TEW2013 which costs $35 but is so in depth that some people just can't find the time to basically devote their life to booking a wrestling company via a video game and stick to to free ones.

WWF SmackDown! 9/18/2003

Ten days from Unforgiven, we've got a wrestling-heavy night of action. We kick off with Raven's continuing quest to destroy everything Scotty 2 Hotty cares about as he takes on the near-seven-foot Canadian "Horse-Faced Gremlin" T-Money. Money controls most of the early going with power moves, but Raven is just too smart for him and plants him with the Raven Effect for the win. After the match, Scotty comes out and they brawl a bit.

Monday night on Raw, Hardcore Holly cost the Manbeast Rhyno his opportunity at the Intercontinental Title. Rhyno looks for revenge tonight and gets it, Goring Holly for a click, clean win. Holly looks pissed that he had to put over the monster and gets in a little offense after the bell to (try to) reclaim some heat.

Kurt Angle is backstage. He talks about The Rock and the Road To Redemption. He talks about John Cena and Shawn Michaels. He talks about everything that everyone is talking about. And he talks about one thing nobody is: himself. He's the one with the title shot at Unforgiven. He's the one with the intensity to break Brock Lesnar's freakin' ankles. He's the one with the intelligence to beat the World's Greatest Tag Team tonight. And he's the one with the integrity to carry Olympic gold. Wooo! Oh, it's true. It's damn true.

Back in the ring, Rhyno's Team BRECK-J stablemate Chris Benoit is in action against Dirty Dozen member Kane. Benoit puts up a valiant effort, including German suplexing the everloving crap out of the Big Red Machine. Eventually, Kane chokeslams Benoit and puts a foot on the ropes for leverage and the cheap win.

The Rock's Road To Redemption continues next as he takes on one-half of the most exciting tag team in the WWF. Jeff Hardy comes to the ring pumped up after his upset victory over Randy Orton on Raw. His win streak ends at one, though, after he takes a Rock Bottom. After the match, Rock shakes hands with Hardy, showing him respect after a great performance.

Not showing respect to Hardy, though, is Randy Orton. After Rock leaves the ring, Orton enters it with a chair and destroys Hardy. He pummels him with it before finally trapping Hardy's ankle in the chair and coming down on it with a stomp, shades of the "Pillmanizing" angle from seven years earlier. Hardy howls in pain and Orton grins demonically. EMTs, Jeff's brother Matt, Lita, and several others come out from the back to check on Jeff as he's carted off.

Our third BRECK-J/Dirty Dozen match of the evening pits Chris Jericho against the Big Show. Not a strong match at all as Show just can't keep up with Jericho. Y2J wins with a Lionsault.

Two guys who can keep pace with each other are up next as John Cena takes on Eddie Guerrero. These two, widely considered to be the future of the WWF, put on a clinic. Both men have big matches coming up at Unforgiven against Shawn Michaels and Triple H (more on them later), but they give this match their all, putting on the match of the night. Cena wins clean with the F-U.

Undertaker is backstage. He talks some more smack about The Rock. This is such a good way to keep him on TV without making him wrestle. 2003 Undertaker was rough.

Our penultimate match of the evening pits the aforementioned Shawn Michaels and Triple H, former partners in DeGeneration X against the #1 contenders for the World Tag Team Championship, Edge & Christian. Another really good match ends with HBK and HHH getting into it a bit allowing Edge to hit the Edgecutioner on Michaels for the victory. After the match, Michaels and Helmsley continue to argue.

The main event tonight is the match that Kurt Angle alluded to in his promo earlier, a handicap match against Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin, the World's Greatest Tag Team. It's another strong technical match (better than the tag match, but not quite on the level of Cena/Eddie), but it's marred when the World Champion Brock Lesnar hits the ring. While Benjamin has the referee distracted, Lesnar attempts to clothesline the fuck out of Angle, who dodges, and Lesnar turns Haas inside out. Angle knocks Benjamin off the apron and covers Haas for the victory. He celebrates by taunting an enraged Lesnar as Raw goes off the air.

WCW Thunder 9/18/2003

The go-home show before Fall Brawl kicks off with the first semifinal match in the Cruiserweight Title tournament. Harry Smith's unlikely road to the final four has included victories over Ca$h and "Primetime" Elix Skipper, while Chavo Guerrero Jr. has knocked off Jamie Noble and Shannon Moore. These two were on opposing teams on Nitro resulting in a double DQ. No draws tonight, though, as Chavo ends Smith's Cinderella story with a well-timed brainbuster to advance to the title match.

A brief promo video for the Scott Hall/Nikita Koloff match plays.

Chavo's Fall Brawl opponent is to be determined next as the deranged Crowbar, who has defeated "Above Average" Mike Sanders and AJ Styles to get to this point, takes on Juventud Guerrera, who holds victories over Ultimo Dragon and America's Most Wanted's Chris Harris. While not quite as good as our opener, these two put on another exciting cruiser match that ends with Juvi hitting the Juvi Driver for the win.

After the match, WCW Executive Committee member Bret "Hit Man" Hart comes to the ring to make it official, in three nights at Fall Brawl, it will be Chavo Guerrero Jr. against Juventud Guerrera for the vacant WCW Cruiserweight Title!

Rick Steiner has one last chance to redeem himself in the eyes of the New World Order as he takes on Team WCW's Dustin Rhodes. Steiner has lost four matches in a row, and must defeat Rhodes to earn Scott Norton's spot on Team nWo for War Games. Norton has other plans and attacks Rhodes, resulting in a DQ victory for the Son Of A Son Of A Plumber. After the match, Rick and Norton get in a shoving match.

The rest of the nWo enters the ring to pull them apart... and then turns on Steiner! Sting, Norton, Luger, Bagwell, and even Rick's own brother Scott put the boots to Steiner, leaving him laying.

Back from break, officials have removed Steiner from the ring and Road Warrior Animal is on his way down the ramp to challenge Sting for our next contest. Animal has a big match with Vader in three days, but he's no match for the former World Champion, and Sting puts him away with the Scorpion Deathdrop.

We have a big eight-man tag team match next, but the first man to the ring, AJ Styles, grabs a microphone. He cuts a promo on "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, who he got physical with earlier (phrasing). He challenges Duggan to a match at Fall Brawl. They hear it through the headset... YES. Duggan accepts the challenge.

Styles' partners for this match will be the aforementioned Big Van Vader, Natural Born Thriller Sean O'Haire, and the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Title, the chosen one Jeff Jarrett. Their opponents will be four of the five members of Team WCW, Hulk Hogan, Goldberg, Booker T, and Rey Mysterio Jr. The announcers hype up War Games and say that the Executive Committee has announced that whoever gets the decisive fall in that match will be #1 contender for the World Title at Halloween Havoc in October! Team WCW shows that they are a well-oiled machine, ending with Goldberg spearing O'Haire almost in half before picking up the win with the Jackhammer.

Ric Flair is backstage. He says Ric Flair things, which means this is a 100% segment, baby! WOOOOOOO! He says you don't wanna miss Fall Brawl, because the Nature Boy is gonna be in Atlanta, and that means the party is gonna last allllll niiiiiight looooooong.

Our main event match is for the World Tag Team Championships. The Mamalukes, representing the Natural Born Thrillers, defend against the World Champion "Sugar" Shane Helms and the United States Champion Mike Awesome. The announcers speculate about what would happen if Helms and Awesome won, since Helms was forced to vacate the Cruiserweight Title because he had won the World Title. It's all for naught, though, as Jarrett returns to the ring and blasts Helms with a guitar, allowing Johnny The Bull to pick up the victory. After the match, Jarrett helps the Thrillers put the boots to the fallen babyfaces as we're outta time don't miss Fall Brawl exclusively on pay-pe--
