Build to Unforgiven!
Ted DiBiase comes out on the Raw after SummerSlam demanding Austin meets him in the ring so he can grant Ted's three wishes that he rightfully earned by his team beating the two GMs at SummerSlam. Ted reminds Austin that none of the three requests can be refused or else Austin is out of a job. He gives Austin some verbal abuse and then gets right to the first demand which is the most obvious one. The U.S. Title was wrongfully stripped from DiBiase and Charlie Haas was essentially handed the thing back at Night of Champions all for the purpose of humiliating DiBiase and making Austin laugh. Therefore his first request is for Austin to immediately strip Charlie Haas of the United States Title. Austin bows his head down and ponders this over. Ted demands it again or else Austin is fired as GM. Austin raises his mic and in a hushed manner declares that he is stripping Charlie Haas of the title. Ted is all smiles and asks Austin if it was so hard. He gets ready to make his next demand but Chris Sylvain, the new WWE Champion interrupts, and joins the two and talks about himself. Sylvain is the best thing going on Raw. Hell, he's the best thing going on either show. He wants Ted and Austin to have their little pow-wow someplace else because the WWE Champion is the only important thing on this show. DiBiase gets right up in Sylvain's face and agrees that being champion is important. Therefore his next demand is a floating WWE Title opportunity to be used whenever Ted sees fit until the day he decides to hang up his boots. Austin begrudgingly agrees. Ted then gets in Austin's face and points out that Austin doesn't look too happy doing his job as GM. Maybe Austin needs a vacation or at the very least some help in his duties. Ted wants to ask for something he's always wanted. Something even his money has never been able to buy. He wants power. Therefore, Ted's last demand is to be named the co-GM of Raw. Austin is really taken back at this. Ted urges Austin to do it. Austin raises his mic again after thinking this one over and proclaims, "Ted, if having you as a general manager of this show means that I get to keep my job, well, hell....you're fresh out of luck!" KICK! WHAM! STUNNER! DiBiase goes down! Austin gets back on the mic: "Don't bother firing me. I....QUIT!" Austin leaves the ring saluting the crowd. Sylvain is still the ring looking down at DiBiase. He shakes his head in disapproval and points out the weakness of the Raw superstars. If they can't even step up to a has-been like Steve Austin, how can any of them step up to Chris Sylvain? How can they expect to be rewarded without any risk? Shelton Benjamin interrupts and claims he knows all about risk. He also knows all about the kind of guy Chris Sylvain is. Chris Sylvain doesn't like being disrespected or punked out. "Well consider yourself disrespected.' BAM! Right hand from Benjamin! Sylvain grabs his belt and retreats. In the back, the locker room ponders what will happen now that Raw doesn't have a General Manager. The New Frontier (Jeremy Matthews and Scott Andrews) and the Thug Life Soldiers (Jordan and Jerome) each win fatal four-way tag matches and will face each other to determine the number one contenders to the Unified Tag Team Titles. A series of matches are also being set-up to determine the number one contender for Kevin Daniels' Cruiserweight Title. Oracle feels she's been getting the shaft ever since being drafted to Raw. She knows all about Victoria and she should be the one who dethrones her for the Diva's Title. Over on SmackDown!, Cody Rhodes opens the show with the Rock as he is set to make his demands known. Rhodes wonders if Rock is going to turn chicken and quit like Austin did. Rock just wants Cody to get on with it. Rhodes points out that he respects Ted DiBiase but sadly he's not as patient as his former Legacy teammate. Rhodes wants a shot at Jason Collins' World Heavyweight Title TONIGHT! Rock makes it official by announcing the match as the main event. Rhodes continues as he reveals that his next request isn't entirely selfish. He made a vow to the rest of the SmackDown! locker room that if they supported Rhodes in his campaign against the Rock, he'd make a special request that would benefit all of them. It's something that should've been done a long time ago. Rhodes wants Kofi Kingston suspended....indefinitely. Rock isn't sure about this one but Rhodes claims that if it had been done right from the get go when Kofi was beginning his vigilante-style investigation, maybe the Rock and Austin wouldn't be in the positions they are now. He repeats his request and this time, after much deliberation, the Rock declares that Kofi Kingston is, in fact, suspended. Rock, however, points out that this essentially makes Rhodes the prime suspect in the case of who is behind Kofi's misery. Rhodes says it doesn't matter because it's not him anyway. HOLY F*CK! It's Shawn Michaels back from being hospitalized a few weeks back by Rhodes. He tries to get to Rhodes but the Dashing One escapes but he gets back on the mic and says his last request has just come to him. He wants the Rock to trade Shawn Michaels back to Raw! Rock and Michaels stare at each other as Rhodes smiles away. More stuff happens (I'll get into more detail when I get to No Mercy since it's a SmackDown! PPV) and we get to the main event: Jason Collins defending the World Heavyweight Title against Cody Rhodes. Collins is nowhere near 100% after his brutal encounter with Kane at SummerSlam. Rhodes is able to get the upper-hand several times during the match and victory looks to be within his grasp but Shawn Michaels comes from the crowd with security hot his heels. He tries jumping the barrier but is held back. It's enough to draw the attention of Rhodes however and he yells at security to get him out of the arena since he's no longer a SmackDown! superstar. Collins takes advantage with a surprise Fall From Heaven for the pin and successful defense. Back on Raw, The New Frontier emerge as number one contenders and Matt Stryker wins the cruiserweight series to win the right to challenge for the Cruiserweight Title. The Diva's title will be defended in a triple threat match involving the champion, Victoria against Kim Roderick and Oracle. Evan Bourne is feeling tremendous guilt over what happened to Austin at SummerSlam and Raw last week. He only hoped that by speaking up against Austin that'd there be some restructuring or limits placed on Austin. He didn't want Austin gone completely or being forced to do the bidding of DiBiase. He vows to set things right. Speaking of Ted DiBiase, he's out to speak out against Austin over what he did the previous week. He feels like he should be mad but he then goes over the things he did manage to get and Austin not being around kind of makes up for not becoming co-GM. He does want to complain about not receiving the U.S. Title. Seeing as Charlie Haas no longer has a claim to it, he should've been given the belt last week. Out comes WWE owner M-A-G with the title belt in hand!!! M-A-G gets on the mic and points out that Ted only asked Austin to strip Haas of the title. No one said anything about giving the title back to DiBiase. Ted says that it was implied since he never really lost it in the first place. It was wrongfully taken away. Ted pleads with M-A-G saying that he knows deep down in his heart that it was wrong to take the title from him and that he is still the true champion. M-A-G actually agrees and thus makes it official. Ted DiBiase is now the new United States champion. Ted celebrates as the crowd boos. "However," M-A-G continues, "now I have another individual from whom the title was wrongfully removed. And seeing as you're all about doing the right thing DiBiase, you will be facing that man tonight. You will defend your U.S. Title against Charlie Haas!" Blah, blah, blah, stuff happens, DiBiase manages to retain the title via chicanery. The next week, Bourne appeals to the entire fanbase, the Raw locker room, and M-A-G to consider a return for Steve Austin. Bourne has begun a drive and want everyone to be a part of it. M-A-G comes out and speaks to Bourne about this. M-A-G makes it clear that Austin made his own choice and he really can't do much about that. However, he can't ignore the cries of the faithful WWE fans nor can he completely ignore the demand that Ted DiBiase made. So he offers Bourne and DiBiase a deal: both men must enlist two other superstars to join them in a six-man tag team match. If Bourne's team wins, Austin is re-instated as GM if that's what he wants. If DiBiase's team wins, DiBiase gets his wish of being a co-GM. So the Unforgiven card is as follows: WWE Title: Chris Sylvain vs. Shelton Benjamin WWE Cruiserweight Title: Kevin Daniels vs. Matt Stryker WWE Unified Tag Team Titles: Cash Inc. vs. The New Frontier WWE Diva's Title: Victoria vs. Oracle vs. Kim Roderick Evan Bourne, Charlie Haas, and John Morrison vs. Ted DiBiase, William Regal, and The Miz Mr. Kennedy vs. Randy Orton R-Truth vs. Bret Banderas Triple Threat U.S. Title number one contendership match: Sean Criss vs. Pete Shapiro vs. Scott Blackmore |

NWA-TNA is having some financial troubles. Thinking about buying them out after 'Mania to inject some new blood, possibly starting a third brand, too.

Three brands? Damn. That's a lot of work.
I started something new the other day...I combined the roster of TNA and WWE, then randomised the list and took the first 35 workers. Then created a new fed in EWR and assigned the 35 workers to it. Going to start writing it up later. |

I never do invasion angles when I buy out companies. Mainly cause the entire rosters they have suck royal nuts added to the 150 people I already have under contract would spell disaster for the audience. I like to think I'm a caring boss.

I'll probably do what I always do when I buy out a company.
1) Put everyone in development. 2) Call up everyone who won't progress any farther there. 3) Release any Openers or Jobbers. If I get enough guys from TNA to put together a legitimate threat, I'll do an invasion. If not, I'll just integrate them into the rosters. |

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.

WWE has come to terms for the release of Big Show, Kane, Dawn Marie, Rene Dupree, and Vito Thomaselli as well as eight developmental talents. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

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! To balance out the rosters between three brands, I had to do a lot of moving superstars around to keep some teams together, but also to hopefully create some new and exciting rivalries. Here, now, the changes:" From RAW to SmackDown! - Damien, Rhyno, and Shelton Benjamin From RAW to Superstars - A-Train, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Chuck Palumbo, Johnny Stamboli, Paul London, Payne, Sean O'Haire, and William Regal From SmackDown! to RAW - APA, Billy Gunn, Brock Lesnar, Mark Henry, Test, and The Rock From SmackDown! to Superstars - Akio, BJ Whitmer, Brian Kendrick, Carlito, Christian, Christian York, Colt Cabana, Dave Batista, Funaki, Jay Briscoe, John Cena, Johnny Jeter, Rico Constantino, Teddy Hart, The Hurricane, Trent Acid, and Zach Gowan So the current rosters look like this: Names in red drafted/traded from RAW, blue from SmackDown! RAW

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 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. |

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 10.Michael Tarver 11.Jeff Hardy 12.El Hijo del Perro Aguayo 13.Jimmy Uso 14.Cody Rhodes 15.John Morrison 16.Sheamus 17.Jesse Neal 18.Robbie E 19.Orlando Jordan 20.Bryan Danielson 21.Keiji Mutoh 22.Percy Watson 23.Kenny Omega 24.Sharkboy 25.D'Angelo Dinero 26.Funaki 27.TAKA 28.The Miz 29.Jey Uso 30.Jushin "Thunder" Liger 31.Tajiri 32.Shinsuke Nakamura 33.Ric Flair 34.Super Crazy 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. |

So I've just about sorted the roster for the fed. I am thinking about doing a random sort of the remaining 300+ guys i used and picking the first five to come through as debutants during the first year of operation (much like WWE/TNA have people debuting throughout the year).

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.

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 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. --------------------------------------------------------- Next Week's Card King Of The Forum title tournament Round 2 - Sabu vs. Sean Waltman King Of The Forum title tournament Round 2 - Mike Knox vs. Raven King Of The Forum title tournament Round 2 - Fatu vs. Scott Hall King Of The Forum title tournament Round 2 - Low Ki vs. Sid Vicious Elimination Match - "Alpha Male" Monty Brown vs. Shaggy 2 Dope Elimination Match - Road Warrior Animal vs. Sean Morley Elimination Match - Stevie Richards vs. "The Franchise" Shane Douglas Elimination Match - El Hijo Del Santo vs. Shad Gaspard |

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. --------------------------------------------------------- Next Week's Card King Of The Forum title tournament Round 3 - Sabu vs. Raven King Of The Forum title tournament Round 3 - Low Ki vs. Scott Hall Elimination Match - Monty Brown vs. Sean Waltman Elimination Match - Sean Morley vs. Mike Knox Elimination Match - Fatu vs. Stevie Richards Elimination Match - Shad Gaspard vs. Sid Vicious Elimination Match - Brown/Waltman winner vs. Morley/Knox winner Elimination Match - Fatu/Richards winner vs. Gaspard/Vicious winner Eliminated So Far: El Hijo Del Santo, Road Warrior Animal, Shaggy 2 Dope, and Shane Douglas |

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next Week's Card Finals Tune-Up - Low Ki vs. Shad Gaspard Finals Tune-Up - Monty Brown vs. Raven Elimination Match - Sabu vs. Mike Knox Elimination Match - Fatu vs. Scott Hall Elimination Match - Sabu/Knox winner vs. Fatu/Hall winner Sean Morley vs. Sean Waltman Stevie Richards vs. Sid Vicious Eliminated So Far: El Hijo Del Santo, Monty Brown, Road Warrior Animal, Sean Morley, Sean Waltman, Shad Gaspard, Shaggy 2 Dope, Shane Douglas, Sid Vicious, and Stevie Richards |

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! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next Week's Card King Of The Forum Title Match - Tournament Final Winner's Bracket Final - Low Ki vs. Raven Elimination Match - Fatu vs. Ki/Raven loser Ranking Match (Winner is #4 contender, loser #5) - Sabu vs. Scott Hall Ranking Match (Winner is #6 contender, loser #7) - Monty Brown vs. Shad Gaspard Ranking Match (Winner is #8 contender, loser #9) - Stevie Richards vs. Sean Waltman Ranking Match (Winner is #10 contender, loser #11) - Sean Morley vs. Sid Vicious Ranking Match (Winner is #12 contender, first fall loser #14, second fall loser #13) - El Hijo Del Santo vs. Road Warrior Animal vs. Shaggy 2 Dope Already clinched rankings - Mike Knox (#3), Shane Douglas (#15) |

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next Week's Card Raven is crowned King Of The Forum Non-Title Match - Sean Morley vs. Raven El Hijo Del Santo and Road Warrior Animal vs. Scott Hall and Sean Waltman Fatu vs. Sid Vicious Monty Brown vs. Mike Knox Low Ki and Sabu vs. Vicious & Delicious (Buff Bagwell and Scott Norton) Satoru Sayama vs. Shad Gaspard Stevie Richards vs. Tank Abbott Doug Basham vs. Shaggy 2 Dope Championship Rankings King Of The Forum Champion - Raven #1 Contender - Fatu #2 Contender - Low Ki #3 Contender - Mike Knox #4 Contender - Sabu #5 Contender - Scott Hall #6 Contender - Shad Gaspard #7 Contender - Monty Brown #8 Contender - Sean Waltman #9 Contender - Stevie Richards #10 Contender - Sid Vicious #11 Contender - Sean Morley #12 Contender - El Hijo Del Santo #13 Contender - Road Warrior Animal #14 Contender - Shaggy 2 Dope #15 Contender - Shane Douglas |

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next Week's Card Introduction of the TPWW Moderator Raven introduces a new member of the Order Non-Title - "Alpha Male" Monty Brown vs. Raven Ten Man Tag - El Hijo Del Santo/Fatu/Low Ki/Road Warrior Animal/Sabu vs. The Order Of Raven Stevie Richards vs. Mike Knox Sean Morley vs. Shad Gaspard Satoru Sayama vs. Shaggy 2 Dope Doug Basham vs. Tank Abbott Championship Rankings King Of The Forum Champion - Raven (remains champion) #1 Contender - Mike Knox (#3 last week) #2 Contender - Low Ki (#2 last week) #3 Contender - Scott Hall (#5 last week) #4 Contender - Fatu (#1 last week) #5 Contender - Sean Waltman (#8 last week) #6 Contender - Sabu (#4 last week) #7 Contender - Shad Gaspard (#6 last week) #8 Contender - Monty Brown (#7 last week) #9 Contender - Stevie Richards (#9 last week) #10 Contender - Sid Vicious (#10 last week) #11 Contender - Sean Morley (#11 last week) #12 Contender - El Hijo Del Santo (#12 last week) #13 Contender - Satoru Sayama (debut) #14 Contender - Scott Norton (debut) #15 Contender - Road Warrior Animal (#13 last week) #16 Contender - Buff Bagwell (debut) #17 Contender - Shaggy 2 Dope (#14 last week) #18 Contender - Doug Basham (debut) #19 Contender - Tank Abbott (debut) #20 Contender - Shane Douglas (#15 last week) |

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next Week's Card King Of The Forum - Mike Knox vs. Raven (c) Fatu and Low Ki vs. The Band Sabu vs. Sid Vicious Monty Brown and Sean Morley vs. Vicious & Delicious Stevie Richards vs. Shad Gaspard Satoru Sayama vs. Tank Abbott El Hijo Del Santo vs. Shaggy 2 Dope Doug Basham vs. Road Warrior Animal Championship Rankings King Of The Forum Champion - Raven (remains champion) #1 Contender - Mike Knox (#1 last week) #2 Contender - Scott Hall (#3 last week) #3 Contender - Sean Waltman (#5 last week) #4 Contender - Low Ki (#2 last week) #5 Contender - Fatu (#4 last week) #6 Contender - Sabu (#6 last week) #7 Contender - Sid Vicious (#10 last week) #8 Contender - Shad Gaspard (#7 last week) #9 Contender - Sean Morley (#11 last week) #10 Contender - Monty Brown (#8 last week) #11 Contender - Stevie Richards (#9 last week) #12 Contender - Satoru Sayama (#13 last week) #13 Contender - Scott Norton (#14 last week) #14 Contender - Buff Bagwell (#16 last week) #15 Contender - El Hijo Del Santo (#12 last week) #16 Contender - Doug Basham (#18 last week) #17 Contender - Road Warrior Animal (#15 last week) #18 Contender - Tank Abbott (#19 last week) #19 Contender - Shaggy 2 Dope (#17 last week) #20 Contender - Shane Douglas (0-1) |
