Amazing poster for Wrestlemania.
I know its been awhile. I think the last show I read of yours was the one after The Rumble. So I'm back. Wrestlemania looks great.
I think Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles, or Ken Kennedy go over in Money In The Bank.
Mick Foley versus Raven should be good. I think Raven is going to get the upset victory, and all.
Punk to go over Joe in the match. That looks amazing for Wrestlemania, and I'm excited to read it.
The poster is beautiful who made it?
I will review your next show man.

First Time Ever
Brock Lesnar VS Randy Orton
Just thought of an awesome spot!!! Brock gets Orton up for the F-5, then Randy rolls off into an RKO!!! That would be sick! Anyways, I'm excited for this match.
World Heavyweight Championship
Kurt Angle (c) VS Chris Jericho
These two have sick submission maneuvers, and great movesets. This should be an amazing match between the two. I see Chris winning the belt in the future of this BTB, but not here. Angle probably hits an Angle Slam, that way it doesn't make Jericho look weak, or anything. The other contender goes to win the WWE Championship. I'm almost sure its still Bret Hart, but whatever.
Shows looking good. Can't wait man! Will review.

Wrestlemania XXV
March 24, 2009
LIVE from Sydney, Australia
Pyro blasts off across the Acer Arena in Sydney, the crowd jumping out of their seats as we are welcome to the biggest show of the year, Wrestlemania! ‘Thunderstruck’ by ACDC pounds over the PA System, before we are handed over to JR & King.
JR: Let me once again welcome you folks to Wrestlemania! Tonight could very well be one of the BIGGEST Wrestlemania’s of all time! We’ve got the first ever encounter between two of today’s biggest stars, Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton! Edge and RVD, in what is one of the most personal rivalries going on in the WWE will clash in a No Holds Barred match to settle their differences!
King: And two icons of hardcore, Raven and Mick Foley, meet in what is sure to be one sadistic match-up! But the Main Event is set to be epic, a re-match that has been building for more than a decade between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels! Now let’s throw you over to our broadcast colleagues, Michael Cole and Tazz!
Tazz: Tazz here, filling in for Mick Foley who is backstage preparing for his match with Raven later on, which is sure to be a cracker. I’ve even heard we will hear Raven speak for the first time, but that’s not all tonight on the Smackdown side of things!
Cole: We have Kurt Angle meeting Chris Jericho in what has escalated to a match of epic proportions. Samoa Joe takes on Raw’s CM Punk ‘One More Time’ and what could be the biggest match on the Smackdown side of the things, Legend VS Legend, The Streak VS The Great One, The Rock takes on the Phenom!
Tazz: But now, it is time for the Australian National Anthem to be sung, by none other than the legendary former front man of Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes!
King: Well, it’s not the official anthem, but as The Rock would say, here is Jimmy Barnes, with the PEOPLE’s Australian National Anthem, Khe Sahn!
The camera switches to the ramp where Jimmy Barnes and the musicians stand as the song begins:
I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the blackmarket man
I've had the Vietnam cold turkey
From the ocean to the Silver City
And it's only other vets could understand
About the long forgotten dockside guarantees
How there were no V-day heroes in 1973
How we sailed into Sydney Harbour
Saw an old friend but couldn't kiss her
She was lined, and I was home to the lucky land
And she was like so many more from that time on
Their lives were all so empty, till they found their chosen one
And their legs were often open
But their minds were always closed
And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains
And the legal pads were yellow, hours long, paypacket lean
And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been
But the car parks made me jumpy
And I never stopped the dreams
Or the growing need for speed and novacaine
So I worked across the country end to end
Tried to find a place to settle down, where my mixed up life could mend
Held a job on an oil-rig
Flying choppers when I could
But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend
And I've travelled round the world from year to year
And each one found me aimless, one more year the more for wear
And I've been back to South East Asia
But the answer sure ain't there
But I'm drifting north, to check things out again
You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
Only seven flying hours, and I'll be landing in Hong Kong
There ain't nothing like the kisses
From a jaded Chinese princess
I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long
Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
Yeah the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
And it's really got me worried
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry
And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
Jimmy gets up and thanks the crowd as he goes and takes his seat in the crowd, front row, ringside.
Tazz: Now it’s time for our first match of the night, the Money in the Bank Ladder match! Who will shine with the lights on bright and grab that briefcase?
JR: I’ve said it multiple time over the past week, I think the Intercontinental Champion has the edge going into this, I may not like his attitude, but MVP can sure go in the ring
King: Glad you’re finally giving Porter some respect JR! But I can see it now, Kofi and AJ won’t be able to work together! Those showman will turn on each other, just wait!
Cole: What about Abyss? His hardcore experience and hardiness could secure him the briefcase!
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Winner gets a World Championship Opportunity for One Year
Intercontinental Champion, MVP VS Jeff Hardy VS World Tag Team Champion, AJ Styles VS World Tag Team Champion, Kofi Kingston VS Rey Mysterio VS Abyss VS Mr. Kennedy VS Matt Sydal
Each man makes his way to the ring, eyeing the briefcase hungrily as they step into the squared circle. The bell ring and each man then sort of look around the ring at each other, waiting for somebody to make a move. Everybody except MVP suddenly jump on Abyss, and back him into the corner, before teeing off with fists and boots. MVP however slides out underneath the bottom rope and grabs a ladder before sliding it into the ring and trying to get a quick victory. MVP quickly begins to scale the ladder, but Kingston and Styles proceed to go over and wrench both of MVP’s legs out from beneath him, making the Intercontinental Champion fall face-first into the mat.
Kingston and Styles though are quickly met by a huge double clothesline from Abyss. The assault on The Monster suddenly disintegrates as each man fought amongst themselves, giving abyss an opportunity to grab the ladder. Abyss proceeds to slam the ladder into the back of Kennedy and Hardy, who both sprawl onto the outside of the ring. The same fate is received by Matt Sydal, Rey Mysterio and MVP in succession, all getting struck with the ladder and falling out to the floor. Abyss turns around though and is met with a Trouble in Paradise kick from Kofi Kingston, which sends himself down over the top rope. The other men are stumbling to get to there feet, when Abyss’s bulk of muscle plummets on top of them. The ladder though remains in the ring, when Styles goes over to Kofi and whispers something in his here. Kingston gets the ladder and leans it up against the ropes before going underneath and holding it down between the top rope and the canvas as AJ goes across to the other side of the ring. Styles sprints across the ring, RUNS UP THE LADDER AND DELIVERS A SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO THE 6 MEN ON THE OUTSIDE!
The crowd get on their feet and cheer for Styles massive move. Kofi sort of snickers, before climbing up onto the top rope and awaiting the men to get to their feet before DIVING OFF AND HITTING ALL 7 MEN WITH A CROSSBODY! The crowd once again go berserk after the big spot, showing their appreciation for the World Tag Team Champions, The Jamaican Phenomenon. The 8 men each slowly get to their feet, the World Tag Team Champions, AJ Styles & Kofi Kingston up first before sliding Mr. Kennedy into the ring.
Styles and Kingston set Kennedy up in the turnbuckle and take turns chopping him across the chest, each man trying to chop harder than the other. MVP and Sydal are battling on the outside, when suddenly Abyss charges through and joins the fight, before Hardy does the same. Kingston and Styles quit chopping Kennedy and turn around, when suddenly Mysterio springboards off the top rope and flies at them for a seated senton. The tag team champions though catch him, before moving backwards and dropping Mysterio over the top rope onto Abyss, Jeff Hardy, Matt Sydal and MVP!
Kingston and Styles slowly get to their feet when Kennedy runs at them with ladder in hand. Kofi and AJ duck, then when Kennedy turns around he is hit with a Pele and a Trouble in Paradise kick in unison, sending the ladder straight into his face! AJ and Kofi lay on the mat as does Kennedy, when Jeff Hardy climbs into the ring with a ladder, making it the second one in the ring. Jeff sets it up and begins to climb. He is soon though cut off by Matt Sydal, who begins trading blows with Jeff a top the ladder. MVP climbs into the ring and grabs the other ladder in the ring before climbing up and reaching for the briefcase, yet only getting his fingertips on it before being cut off by Rey Mysterio. Kofi and AJ though are on the outside of the ring, and begin setting up tables on each side of the ring, double stacking them side-by-side. AJ and Kofi go into the ring and nod at each other BEFORE PUSHING BOTH THE LADDERS OVER IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS ONTO THE TABLES OUTSIDE THE RING!
The crowd once again begin a ‘Holy Shit’ chant as Kofi and AJ stand exhausted. They turn around and are met with a shot to the head each with a ladder, courtesy of Abyss. Abyss then puts AJ in a ladder, before opening and closing it to inflict more damage. Abyss now grabs Kofi in his arm BEFORE DELIVERING THE BLACK HOLE SLAM ONTO THE LADDER WITH AJ STILL INSIDE! Abyss roars in triumph at the damage he has caused, but suddenly from behind Mr. Kennedy catches him and hits him with the Mic Check face first onto the ladder in which Styles still lays between! Mysterio charges into the ring to get Kennedy, but he is flap jacked onto the ladder by Kennedy!
Kennedy begins to slowly climb up the ladder and grab the briefcase, becoming the first man to win the Money in the Bank ladder match twice in his career. MVP though comes in and ascends the ladder, beginning to trade fists atop the ladder. Matt Sydal suddenly springboards off the top rope and dropkicks the ladder, causing it to fall and MVP and Kennedy to both get hung up on the top rope. Jeff Hardy comes into the ring with a steel chair, before cleaning up Kingston, Styles and Abyss with chairshots to the upper back and skull. Hardy turns around though and is hit with a feint enzuigiri head scissors from Matt Sydal! Sydal follows it up with a big dropkick to the side of Rey’s head which sends Mysterio down to the floor.
Sydal now grabs one of the ladders and lays Hardy across it, before setting another ladder up in the corner and beginning to climb it to a huge pop from the crowd. Sydal sit’s atop the ladder and the whole arena sighs in awe at what he is expectedly about to do. Sydal leaps and goes for the Shooting Star Press off the ladder onto Hardy, BUT HARDY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND MATT SYDAL GIVES THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO THE LADDER! Sydal promptly rolls from the ring screeching in pain as he clutches his ribs and rolls around on the floor, EMT’s suddenly coming from the back with a stretcher in hand. Hardy stands and looks at Sydal out on the floor, but it is a mistake as he turns around and Kofi Kingston drills him with a Trouble in Paradise! Kofi now looks at Rey Mysterio who is getting to his feet near him. Kingston grabs the ladder and runs at Rey, HITTING HIM STRAIGHT IN THE HEAD AND BUSTING HIM WIDE OPEN! Rey now tumbles over the top rope and down to the floor!
Kofi sets up the ladder he just hit Rey with in the middle of the ring and begins to climb towards the briefcase. He has his fingertips on it when suddenly Abyss manouevres himself under Kingston, before dropping him down to the mat with a huge power bomb that shakes the ring! Abyss though is caught off guard by AJ Styles, who springboards off the second rope, before catching Abyss in a REVERSE DDT ON THE LADDER!! Mr. Kennedy charges at one half of the World Tag Team Champions, but is back dropped high in the air and crunches on the ladder. Styles now sees his opportunity, could he be the man to climb the ladder and win the title opportunity?
Styles is so close, inches away from the briefcase, when suddenly Mysterio ascends the ladder and stops AJ just before he can reach the briefcase. Mysterio gets his hand atop the handle and is about to unhook it…when MVP suddenly runs through and delivers a running kick to the ladder which causes AJ & Rey to fall and land on the top rope before crashing and burning down to the floor. MVP does his Ballin’ taunt, but when he turns around he receives a Twist of Fate onto the ladder from Jeff Hardy! Kofi though runs and nail Jeff with a clothesline, before laying him across the ladder. Kofi bounces off the ropes for his ‘BOOM BOOM’ leg drop BUT JEFF ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND KOFI LEG DROPS THE LADDER! Hardy gets to his feet triumphantly but is drilled in the skull by a baseball bat from Abyss. Abyss now decides it is his turn to try and claim the briefcase. The Monster looks like he shall win and become Mr. Money in the Bank, but Mr. Kennedy climbs the ladder and promptly cuts him off. Abyss and Kennedy trade punches until Kennedy ducks a massive swing from Abyss, before connecting with the Mic Check off the top of the ladder!!
The carnage is insane as all 7 men still left in the match are brutally left on the canvas. MVP rolls out of the ring clutching at his shoulder, as medical officials run to the ring to inspect what could be a serious injury. Kofi Kingston gets to his feet and begins to painfully climb the ladder as Jeff Hardy climbs the ladder next to him. AJ Styles is the third to his feet and climbs the ladder with Hardy atop it on the same side as Kofi. Jeff begins to trade fists with the World Tag Team Champions, but they outnumber him and he slips a bit on the ladder. Kofi and AJ put Hardy in a front facelock, before preparing to give him a double superplex off the top of the ladder. Mr. Kennedy though climbs up on Hardys side and clubs the backs of the champions, before knocking them both off their respective ladders with right hands.
Kennedy reaches up for the briefcase, but Hardy elbows him in the ribs. Jeff now sets him up for the Twist of Fate, performing the devastating finishing move OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER!! The Monster Abyss grabs the ladder and tries to run at Rey Mysterio, but he is drop toe holded onto the second rope, ladder in hand. Mysterio bounces off the other side of the ring BEFORE 619-ING THE LADDER INTO ABYSS’ FACE! Abyss falls to the mat still clutching the ladder, before Mysterio springboards of the top rope and Drops Da Dime onto ladder Abyss is laying under!
Rey slowly gets to his feet and sees the carnage around the ring while MVP is still being checked on by doctors outside the ring, realising he is the last man left standing. Mysterio begins to precariously climb the ladder reaching high for the briefcase. Suddenly, MVP throws the doctors away and runs forward pushing the ladder over and forcing Mysterio to fall down to the mat. Porter scales the ladder as quickly as he can once he sets it back up, before reaching up and grabbing the briefcase!!
MVP wins by retrieving the briefcase
New Mr. Money in the Bank: MVP
JR: What! MVP feigned an injury so he could take a break and let everybody else do the dirty work!
King: Well if he wants to win the championship he has got to be a crafty opportunist, something MVP just proved he is!
Cole: Well he just robbed every man in this match who put their careers and livelihoods on the line in this match and took the easy way out!
King: Cole, like it or not, Mr. Money in the Bank is straight up Ballin’!
------------------------------------------
We go backstage, where we see Coach standing, microphone in hand
Coach: Please welcome my guest at this time, The Rock!
The Rock walks on screen and pulls the microphone out of Coaches hands roughly
Rock: That’s it?
Coach: What?
Rock: That’s all? That is your introduction, Coach? The Rock? This is the grandest stage of them all, the granddaddy of them all, where history is made, where legends are born, WRESTLEMANIAAAAA!

The Rock: Now hold it right there Coach, you’re not fit to conduct this interview, so get your ass outta here. Go on scat!
The Rock feign punches Coach who jumps down to the floor before leaving
The Rock: Tonight, it is Wrestlemania. We are live, for the first time, in a venue outside of North America, down under in Sydney, Australia!
Cheap pop
The Rock: Where the millions…and the millions of The Rock’s fans are chanting his name!
A ‘Rocky’ chant breaks out throughout the arena
The Rock: And tonight, The Rock is making his Wrestlemania return after a 5 year absence, when he goes ONE-ON-ONE, with that mascara wearing dummy, the Undertaker. ‘Taker, it’s not Halloween anymore you stupid balding transvestite, so get that make-up off and get ready for some action! Under all that make-up, smoke and mirrors for all we now you’re like that loser Kevin Kelly, an ugly old hermaphrodite! But it doesn’t matter what you are, whether you’re straight, whether your bent, whether you just plain don’t get any, The Rock is gonna whoop your candy ass all over this arena!
Suddenly, Mick Foley walks on-screen to a big pop
The Rock: What in the blue hell are you doing here?
Foley: Well Rock, we’ve been the Sock N Rock Connection for a very long time, so I think it’s time we start coming up with a new name, of got my list here so-
Rocky: Mick, this is Wrestlemania and you’re thinking about names! The Rock thinks-

The Rock: It doesn’t matter what our name is!! Mick, you are not electrifying, you are not great and you are certainly not The Peoples Champion! You see, that’s not a Peoples Champion-
The Rock points to Mick, before pointing to himself and saying
The Rock: THIS is a Peoples Champion. Now get your ass on outta here before The Rock kicks your ass outta here!
Foley leaves sulkily, but before he does he gives The Rock a thumbs up
Foley: Have a nice day mate!
Mick leaves to a big pop to warm up for his match
The Rock: Now where was I? Oh yeah, the Phenom. Now Undertaker, you may have your head so far up James Mitchells ass you can only see out of his brown eye, but that doesn’t matter. The Rock is still going to take all your Ministry of Drag members, shine them up REAL nice, turn them sumbitches sideways and shove them straight up your ass!
The Rock: It doesn’t matter if every member was at ringside in full drag. Maybe The Rock will have to go through the Boogeyman, which means (Rock pulls a weird face) I like to swallow worms ALL NIGHT LONG! Oh shut up ya stupid drag queen, the only things you’re going to ‘get’ is a visit to brown town courtesy of the Sinister Minister!
The Rock: What about Kane? Maybe The Rock will have to destroy him which means…Mwaahahahahhaha I am da big red blueberry, and the last thing I boned was a dead lady. Only problem is she wasn’t dead when I started!
Crowd pop once again as The Rock struts around the camera
The Rock: Now The Rock could go on and on and on about you and your cross-dressing buddies, but he is gonna get to the point! Undertaker, you’re gonna get your bow-legged ass down to the ring, then The Rock is gonna walk down the ramp. Then The Rock shall proceed to take your dead ass down the street, The Rock will take a right, then a left, then go down to the corner of Know Your Role Boulevard and Jabroni Drive, and check your monkey ass directly into the Smackdown Hotel! Next, The Rock is going to take you to the bathroom of the Smackdown Hotel, he’s going to give you a shower for the first time in your life, before taking you up to your room! Finally, The Rock is gonna bring you some room service, which unfortunately shall be your last meal, and that is going to be my fist down your throat and my foot up your ass! IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING! AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE!
The crowd reply will an ‘Oi, Oi, Oi!’ as The Rock leaves the screen to prepare for his match
------------------------------------
Interpromotional Match
‘One More Time’
CM Punk VS Samoa Joe
JR: CM Punk and Samoa Joe, two of the greatest the WWE has to offer going one-on-one One More Time! This is sure to be a slobber knocker!
Tazz: Just wait, Joe is gonna kill Punk, this won’t even be half a match
King: Wait until Punk gets his hands on Joe, then you and that that fat Samoan will shut your fat yaps, Tazz!
Punk climbs into the ring and is immediately attacked by Samoa Joe. Punk is using the ropes to stay upright, before Joe goes to the opposite side of the ring. Joe charges at Punk, but is back dropped over the top rope! Somehow Joe manages to hand onto the top rope though and stay on the apron. Punk turns around and is caught off guard by Joe, who puts him in a front facelock before GIVING CM PUNK A VERTICAL SUPLEX DOWN TO THE FLOOR!
Joe slowly gets up before Punk, before rolling back into the ring and breaking the referee’s count. Joe goes back and throws Punk into the barricade at ringside, his kidneys crunching into the wall with a thud. Punk slowly stumbles away as Joe grabs him by the arm, preparing to throw him into the ringpost. Punk counters though and throws Joe into the ringpost! Joe crashes into the steel hard and falls down to one knee, before Punk goes in the ring to break the count and rolls back to the outside. Joe is leaning against the turnbuckle as CM smiles and runs towards him, trying to clothesline Joe into the post. Samoa Joe though manages to counter the move DELIVERING THE STJOE ON THE FLOOR!!
Punk clutches at his back as Joe grabs him and throws him into the ring before making the cover. Punk kicks out just before the 2 count though, before Joe gets to his feet and begins to pull Punk up by the hair. CM begins to tee off on Joe, hitting him with forearm shots to the gut. Joe stumbles a bit before Punk bounces off the ring ropes and runs at the Samoan Submission Machine. Joe counters though and hits CM with a Reverse Atomic Drop, before himself bouncing off the ropes and hitting Punk with a single leg drop kick. Joe grabs Punk and tosses him into the corner, before beginning to hit him with stiff chops. Punk though fights back and delivers some chops of his own getting a big pop. Joe and Punk continue to exchange chops for a little longer, until CM manages to back Joe into the ropes. Punk throws Joe across the ring and goes for a clothesline on Joe, but he ducks under it. Punk turns around and is met by a massive kick from Joe, which almost turns Punk inside out.
Joe covers Punk for a two count, which frustrates him. Joe places Punk in an armbar, whilst digging his elbow into the shoulder joint of Punk. The crowd begin a slow ‘CM Punk’ chant with begins to will the Straight Edge Superstar on to get to his feet before digging his own elbow into Joe’s chest, then kicking him straight in the jaw. The momentum forces Joe backwards before he lands into the turnbuckle. Punk taps his knee as he stands on the opposite side of the ring before running at Joe, who quickly moves out of the way PUNKS KNEE CRASHING INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE SICKENINGLY! Punk hobbles away slowly and Joe kicks him stiffly in the knee, making it buckle and Punk to fall to the mat clutching at it.
Joe stares down and laughs as Punk grimaces in pain, before beginning to stomp on the injured knee. Punk winces with every shot, before Joe grabs his ankle and begins to tug and twist at the leg. Joe pulls CM hard into the middle of the ring, before turning him over and putting Punk into a one-legged Boston Crab. Punk grimaces in Pain as Joe leans back even further, increasing pressure on Punk’s knee. Punk reaches out for the ropes and manages to grip onto the bottom one. The referee begins his count and at 4 Joe finally lets Punk out of the hold. Punk slides out under the bottom rope and onto the apron, whilst the referee begins to berate Joe. Punk manages to hobble up into a standing position on the apron. Joe shoves the referee out of his way as he goes to meet Punk, but he is hit with a hard right hand. Joe wobbles backwards before Punk springboards painfully from the top rope for his signature clothesline, but Samoa Joe catches him in mid-air, before delivering a shattering knee breaker!
Punk drops to the mat in pain, Joe smirking happily. Joe awaits Punks rising, preparing to put CM into the Coquina Clutch. Punk staggers up to his feet as Joe steps in behind him and puts him in the Coquina Clutch! Punk though manages to frantically grip the top rope, forcing Joe to break the hold. Joe is once again forced to back away by the referee, before he once again moves over towards Punk, BUT PUNK NAILS HIM IN THE TEMPLE WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! Joe falls to the mat as does Punk, clutching at his knee once again. The referee begins the 10 count, Punk and Joe slowly starting to stir at roughly 5. Punk stands on the ropes, using them to support his weight instead of his injured knee. Joe regains his composure and runs across the ring at CM, who low bridges the Samoan Submission Machine out to the floor!!
Punk now turns around looking down at Joe waiting for him to get up before limping across the ring, before fighting through the pain and sprinting across, nailing Samoa Joe with a suicide dive! The crowd leave a big pop and begin another ‘CM Punk’ chant as he slowly gets to his feet and throws Joe into the ring, fighting through the pain in his knee. Joe gets up but is met immediately with another roundhouse from Punk. Joe stays on his feet though so Punk bounces off the ropes painfully and goes towards his adversary, but Joe catches Punk AND HIT’S A HUGE SAMOAN DROP!
All of Punk’s momentum is crushed with the one move, Joe now in control. Samoa Joe decides it’s time to put Punk away, and moves him over to the turnbuckle, preparing Punk for the Muscle Buster. CM sits up on the second turnbuckle as Joe tries to hoists him up. Punk fights him off though with right hands to the head, as Joe release his grip. Punk moves up further onto the top rope and pulls Joe up with him, placing him head between his legs and hooking the arms, setting Joe up for the Pepsi Plunge! Punk plays to the crowd a bit before diving off AND HITTING SAMOA JOE WITH THE PEPSI PLUNGE!
Punk falls away almost immediately, gripping his knee which he hit on the delivery of the move. Punk manages to finally roll over and throws his arm across the Samoan Submission Machine!
……
One!!
……
Two!!
……
No!! Joe managed to throw his shoulder up at the last second! Punk gets up with a look of frustration before pulling Joe up and managing to put the big man of his shoulders for the GTS! Joe manages to battle his way off though before getting Punk in position for the Muscle Buster! CM though this time battles out and pushes Joe away who falls back into the turnbuckle and knocks the down onto the canvas! As Samoa Joe groggily wobbles back forward, Punk manages to lift him up AND NAIL THE GTS! Punk though clutches the knee he used to deliver the move, before gradually moving back over towards Joe.
Punk makes it to the cover but the referee is knocked out on the floor! CM gets to his feet and looks down at the referee on the floor, trying to revive him. During this time, Joe sneaks up behind Punk and kicks him straight in the back of his injured leg! Punk tumbles down to the mat as Joe laughs and lifts him up by the hair, hitting him with the Muscles Buster! The referee comes to and begins to slowly make the count
One!!
……
Two!
……
No!! Punk grabbed onto the bottom rope! Joe gets up and begins to celebrate, thinking he won the match-up. The referee though turns to him and explains about the rope break, Joe yelling and kicking the ropes angrily. Punk begins to lift himself up using the ropes for aid, before Joe once again sits him in the turnbuckle for the Muscle Buster. He puts him in position, but Punk fights his way down. Joe spins around and CM tries for a big roundhouse kick, but Joe moves out of the way, trying then to secure Punk in the Coquina Clutch. CM though counters and sits Joe up onto his shoulders, before delivering another GTS! Punk painfully rolls over onto Joe
One!
……
Two!!
……
Three!!
CM Punk wins by pinfall
Tazz: What!
King: I told ya so, he can take his fat ass back to Samoa, Punk has done it!
JR: What a phenomenal one-on-one match-up we just witnessed, let’s head backstage to the Coach!
-----------------------------------------
We go backstage and we see Raven appear on screen holding a microphone. He brings it slowly up to his mouth as he begins to speak for the first time since his mysterious arrival in the WWE
Raven: (Heavy breathing into the microphone)
The crowd begin a ‘Raven Sucks’ chant, which Raven completely ignores
Raven: Hello everybody (cackles), it’s been a while hasn’t it. A while since I have had the opportunity to let the thoughts in my brain roll off my tongue and let what I am thinking be known to the world.
Raven: Everywhere I go, everyone I meet, it’s all one thing. What a monster this man is, he is twisted, he is sick. But I am not a bad person, no no, I am the good guy in this situation (more heavy breathing). You see, the world is a very evil place and all of you are what have made me this way. No longer can I walk down the street without being judged, the stinging barbs of their malicious eyes cut me deeper than any blade ever could.
Raven runs his fingers through his hair angrily
Raven: I feel no remorse for what I have done to people, nor for what I am about to do to Mick Foley. Everybody is getting what they deserve for the things this world has done to me. I am the saviour of this earth, I shall take revenge for those who cannot do it themselves. These hands have had more blood spilt upon them and my body has bled more than any other person on this planet. Mick Foley, I plan to rip your flesh and tear your tendons into so many pieces the doctors will deem you irreparable. Tonight is the first step in my revenge, Mick Foley shall bleed for all the people who have forced me into this behaviour. His pain shall be my cleansing, and my purification can finally begin once his flesh is torn from the bone and I feast on the suffering I cause in his heart. You people think this is the end? No, this is only the beginning of the suffering the superstars of the WWE will have to endure before my purification has been completed. This is far from over, my heart yearns for their blood and my desires shall not go unfulfilled. (some more heavy breathing) … Quote the Raven… Nevermore!
Raven stares at the screen before it fades to black

Interpromotional Match
Hardcore
Mick Foley VS Raven
King: It’s time for Mick Foley to finally step up and suffer, that sadistic Raven wants his blood!
JR: Sadistic is putting it lightly King! I fear for the safety of Mick Foley, after what he just said, I truly think that Mick’s only way out of this arena may be in a body bag!
King: And I’m loving every second of it, the emotions are going to explode JR!
Foley comes down to the ring and stands awaiting Raven for his first match since coming to the WWE. The lights go out before turning blood red, as Raven slowly begins his walk to the ring, with a steel chair in hand as he cackles maliciously. Foley though cannot wait as he runs straight down the ramp as the referee rings the bell. Raven swings the chair, but Mick ducks underneath and begins to unload with rights and lefts to the face of Raven. Raven tries to escape down to the ring but Mick continues to bludgeon him with fists before grabbing the steel chair Raven brought to the ring. Raven tries to recover on the apron before Mick swings for his head, but Raven ducks under it before grabbing Foley and giving him some vintage Raven with a Russian Leg Sweep into the barricade!!
Raven gets to his feet first and whips his hair back before grabbing Mick Foley by his arm. Raven delivers two stiff short arm clotheslines, before attempting to irish whip Foley into the barricade. Mick counters though and throws Raven into them gut-first, the momentum sending him flying over into the front row. Raven slowly gets to his feet and tries to climb over the guard rail, but Foley slams the steel chair right on the top of his head, stopping him dead in his tracks. Mick places the chair on the ground before putting Raven in a front facelock and giving him a vicious DDT off the barricade and down to the floor, Raven’s head crashing into the steel chair!
Foley gets up and gives the crowd a thumbs up to a big pop. Foley pulls Raven over to the steel steps and sits him up against them. Mick walks away before charging at Raven for a Foley Facebuster. Raven though rolls out of the way and Mick’s knee goes straight into the steel chairs and knocks them off the hinges! Mick falls to the ground clutching his knee as Raven gets to his feet laughing. Raven grabs Foley by the hair and throws him into the ring, before going under the ring for some weapons. Raven throws in a garbage can filled with various objects and 2 small bags, some chairs and a kendo stick. Raven now walks over and picks up the steel steps and slides them in as Foley crawls to his feet. Raven sets up the chair as Foley groggily gets to his feet, before drilling him face first into the chair with a drop toe hold!
Raven goes over to the trash can full of weapons and pulls one of the bags. Raven goes and pours the contents of the sack behind Foley, and thousands of thumb tacks spread out on the canvas! Raven now grabs the steel stairs and places them in front of Foley, once again preparing for some of his vintage moves as he backs away and waits for Mick to get to his feet. Raven charges and leaps off the steel steps for a diving clothesline to Foley, BUT MICK MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND RAVEN CRASHES STRAIGHT INTO THE THUMBTACKS!
Foley slowly gets to his feet as Raven writhes in pain in the thumbtacks. Mick goes over and pulls a cookie sheet out of the garbage can slamming it into the skull of Raven, who falls face down onto the steel steps. Mick grabs the back of Raven’s head and repeatedly slams it into the top of the steps, almost knocking Raven out cold. Mick now goes back over and tips out the contents of the garbage bin and takes the bin itself. He places the bin over Raven’s head before putting him back on the steps and climbing onto the top rope. Foley stands atop the ropes and does his ‘Bang! Bang!’ taunt, before diving off for his signature Cactus Elbow, BUT RAVEN MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY AND FOLEY ELBOW DROPS THE STEEL STAIRS!
Raven pulls the garbage can off his head before pulling Foley up off the ground. Raven grabs him and drags him over to the steps, preparing to piledrive him across the top of them. Raven though shakes his hand and walks towards the edge of the steps, facing the side where the thumbtacks lay. The sick Raven then lifts Foley up AND PILEDRIVES HIM OFF THE STEPS AND INTO THE THUMBTACKS!! Foley’s head is split open as blood starts gushing from his face like a waterfall. Raven rolls under the bottom rope and goes under the ring, and after a while emerging with a barbed wire baseball bat and a coil of barbed wire in hand.
Raven climbs gingerly back into the ring, when Foley charges and sends himself and Raven back down to the floor with a vicious Cactus Clothesline!! Foley and Raven both seem to be in intense pain, but Foley manages to get up first and goes under the ring, before pulling out a table and setting it up. While Mick does this though, Raven plays possum on the mat, wrapping the coil of barbed wire around his fist.
Foley slowly limps over to Raven, but when he pulls Raven up he is hit with a shot to the gut with his barbed wire fist. Foley stumbles as Raven jabs him in his wound with the barbed wire wrapped around his hand. Raven spits in the face of Mick before threatening to hit a fan and going for a discus clothesline, but Foley ducks and gives Raven a back suplex on the floor!! Mick painfully gets to his feet before picking up the barbed wire baseball bat that Raven had brought out from under the ring earlier. Mick stands like a batter waiting for the pitch as Raven groggily gets up, before slamming the bat across Raven’s skull, splitting his head open and causing him to fall across the table in the process!
Mick now ascends onto the ring apron, still with the barbed wire bat in hand. He smiles and does his ‘Bang Bang’ taunt before running along the apron and diving off, NAILING RAVEN ACROSS THE CHEST WITH THE BARBED WIRE BAT AND SENDING HIM THROUGH THE TABLE! Foley and Raven both lay stoically on the floor when Mick manages to roll over and lay his arm across the body of Raven, the referee beginning the first pinfall of this very personal match
One!!
…
Two!!
…
No!!
Raven manages to toss his shoulder up, much to Foley’s dismay. Foley pulls Raven up slowly by the hair, but Raven delivers a barbed wire low blow!! As Mick rolls on the floor clutching his balls, Raven delivers a barbed wire fist drop to them, inciting even more pain. Raven chuckles sadistically as he uncoils the barbed wire from his fist and pulls Mick up to a seated position. Raven steps behind Foley and puts himself in position to STRANGLE FOLEY WITH THE BARBED WIRE! Mick though luckily elbows Raven in the gut and forces him to stumble away as Foley gets to his feet. Raven keeps the attack going by charging at Foley, trying to send the barbed wire into his face. Mick ducks though and drop toe holds Raven, WHOS HEAD IS SENT STRAIGHT INTO THE BARBED WIRE BAT USED EARLIER IN THE MATCH!!
Mick once again limps over to Raven, before going under the ring and pulling out some tables which he begins to set up on the outside, two side by side. Mick slowly turns to pick up Raven, but is nailed in the gut with a stiff forearm. Raven throws him into the ring before quickly following him in. Mick is getting up to his feet before Raven charges up behind him HITTING MICK WITH A BULLDOG ONTO THE STEEL STEPS! Foley’s limp body slides from the stairs sickeningly as Raven rolls him over for the cover
One!
……
Two!!
……
……
No!!
Mick got his shoulder up a fraction of a decimal of a second before the three count. Raven stares down at Foley and screams ‘You should’ve stayed down!’ before mounting him and beginning to unload with straight right hands to the open wound on the forehead of Foley. Raven now gets to his feet and taunts, before climbing onto the steel steps. Raven wipes the blood on his fist across his chest before climbing onto the steps and chuckling sadistically. Raven slowly pulls Mick up by the hair before trying to put him in DDT position, BUT MICK COUNTERS AND GIVES RAVEN A SWINGING NECKBREAKER ON THE STEEL STEPS!!
Both men limply roll off the steps, seemingly both out cold. The crowd begin a slow ‘Foley’ chant as each man goes to opposite sides of the ring, using the ropes to try and hoist themselves off the mat. Mick is up first and stares across the ring at Raven, awaiting him to get back to a standing position. Foley runs at Raven trying to deliver yet another Cactus Clothesline, but Raven ducks down and low bridges Foley out of the ring! Mick tumbles to the outside floor sickeningly as Raven regains his breath.
Raven now climbs outside the ring, before he starts dragging Foley around to where the two tables are set up. He lands some more punches to Foley’s skull before tossing him aside and going underneath the ring. After a bit of search Raven pulls his hands out, holding lighter fluid and a box of matches! Raven begins to squirt the lighter fluid over the two tables Mick had set up earlier before shutting the bottle and throwing it into the crowd. Raven now pulls out a match and strikes it, before tossing it onto the tables and both catching ablaze!!
Foley is still seemingly down on the floor, but he slowly slides Mr. Socko onto his hand. Raven watches the fire twinkle before his eyes as he puts a twisted smile across his face. Raven grabs Foley and begins to climb onto the apron, before bringing Foley up with him. Suddenly, MICK PUTS RAVEN IN THE MANDIBLE CLAW!! Raven is in pain on the apron, before kicking Foley straight in the balls. Mick loosens his grip and falls to one knee, giving Raven the opening he needed. He puts Mick in a front facelock, before giving Mick Foley A RAVEN EFFECT DDT OFF THE APRON THROUGH THE TWO BURNING TABLES!!
The crowd chant ‘Holy Shit’ as both men lay on the floor groggily. Raven slowly manages to toss his arm across the body of Foley as the referee begins the count
One!!
……
Two!!
……
Three!! It’s all over!
Raven wins by pinfall
JR: Bah Gawd what a sadistic match-up!
King: Raven wanted blood, and that’s exactly what he got!
Raven painfully gets to his feet celebrating to some heat and cheers, before staring down at the broken body of Foley. Paramedics rush down to the ring as Foley is not moving an inch in any which way. They begin to lift Foley onto the stretcher when Raven starts to laugh sadistically. He throws all of the paramedics away before lifting up Mick and PLANTING HIM ONCE AGAIN WITH A RAVEN EFFECT DDT! Foley is once again not moving as paramedics cautiously go forward to help him, Raven grinning as he walks up the ramp.
JR: What the hell was that King! What is wrong with this man!
King: He was just finishing the job. And you better get used to it JR, this has only just begun!

Wrestlemania XXV
March 24, 2009
LIVE from Sydney, Australia
Pyro blasts off across the Acer Arena in Sydney, the crowd jumping out of their seats as we are welcome to the biggest show of the year, Wrestlemania! ‘Thunderstruck’ by ACDC pounds over the PA System, before we are handed over to JR & King.
JR: Let me once again welcome you folks to Wrestlemania! Tonight could very well be one of the BIGGEST Wrestlemania’s of all time! We’ve got the first ever encounter between two of today’s biggest stars, Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton! Edge and RVD, in what is one of the most personal rivalries going on in the WWE will clash in a No Holds Barred match to settle their differences!
King: And two icons of hardcore, Raven and Mick Foley, meet in what is sure to be one sadistic match-up! But the Main Event is set to be epic, a re-match that has been building for more than a decade between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels! Now let’s throw you over to our broadcast colleagues, Michael Cole and Tazz!
Tazz: Tazz here, filling in for Mick Foley who is backstage preparing for his match with Raven later on, which is sure to be a cracker. I’ve even heard we will hear Raven speak for the first time, but that’s not all tonight on the Smackdown side of things!
Cole: We have Kurt Angle meeting Chris Jericho in what has escalated to a match of epic proportions. Samoa Joe takes on Raw’s CM Punk ‘One More Time’ and what could be the biggest match on the Smackdown side of the things, Legend VS Legend, The Streak VS The Great One, The Rock takes on the Phenom!
Tazz: But now, it is time for the Australian National Anthem to be sung, by none other than the legendary former front man of Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes!
King: Well, it’s not the official anthem, but as The Rock would say, here is Jimmy Barnes, with the PEOPLE’s Australian National Anthem, Khe Sahn!
The camera switches to the ramp where Jimmy Barnes and the musicians stand as the song begins:
I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the blackmarket man
I've had the Vietnam cold turkey
From the ocean to the Silver City
And it's only other vets could understand
About the long forgotten dockside guarantees
How there were no V-day heroes in 1973
How we sailed into Sydney Harbour
Saw an old friend but couldn't kiss her
She was lined, and I was home to the lucky land
And she was like so many more from that time on
Their lives were all so empty, till they found their chosen one
And their legs were often open
But their minds were always closed
And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains
And the legal pads were yellow, hours long, paypacket lean
And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been
But the car parks made me jumpy
And I never stopped the dreams
Or the growing need for speed and novacaine
So I worked across the country end to end
Tried to find a place to settle down, where my mixed up life could mend
Held a job on an oil-rig
Flying choppers when I could
But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend
And I've travelled round the world from year to year
And each one found me aimless, one more year the more for wear
And I've been back to South East Asia
But the answer sure ain't there
But I'm drifting north, to check things out again
You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
Only seven flying hours, and I'll be landing in Hong Kong
There ain't nothing like the kisses
From a jaded Chinese princess
I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long
Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
Yeah the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
And it's really got me worried
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry
And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
Jimmy gets up and thanks the crowd as he goes and takes his seat in the crowd, front row, ringside.
Tazz: Now it’s time for our first match of the night, the Money in the Bank Ladder match! Who will shine with the lights on bright and grab that briefcase?
JR: I’ve said it multiple time over the past week, I think the Intercontinental Champion has the edge going into this, I may not like his attitude, but MVP can sure go in the ring
King: Glad you’re finally giving Porter some respect JR! But I can see it now, Kofi and AJ won’t be able to work together! Those showman will turn on each other, just wait!
Cole: What about Abyss? His hardcore experience and hardiness could secure him the briefcase!
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Winner gets a World Championship Opportunity for One Year
Intercontinental Champion, MVP VS Jeff Hardy VS World Tag Team Champion, AJ Styles VS World Tag Team Champion, Kofi Kingston VS Rey Mysterio VS Abyss VS Mr. Kennedy VS Matt Sydal
Each man makes his way to the ring, eyeing the briefcase hungrily as they step into the squared circle. The bell ring and each man then sort of look around the ring at each other, waiting for somebody to make a move. Everybody except MVP suddenly jump on Abyss, and back him into the corner, before teeing off with fists and boots. MVP however slides out underneath the bottom rope and grabs a ladder before sliding it into the ring and trying to get a quick victory. MVP quickly begins to scale the ladder, but Kingston and Styles proceed to go over and wrench both of MVP’s legs out from beneath him, making the Intercontinental Champion fall face-first into the mat.
Kingston and Styles though are quickly met by a huge double clothesline from Abyss. The assault on The Monster suddenly disintegrates as each man fought amongst themselves, giving abyss an opportunity to grab the ladder. Abyss proceeds to slam the ladder into the back of Kennedy and Hardy, who both sprawl onto the outside of the ring. The same fate is received by Matt Sydal, Rey Mysterio and MVP in succession, all getting struck with the ladder and falling out to the floor. Abyss turns around though and is met with a Trouble in Paradise kick from Kofi Kingston, which sends himself down over the top rope. The other men are stumbling to get to there feet, when Abyss’s bulk of muscle plummets on top of them. The ladder though remains in the ring, when Styles goes over to Kofi and whispers something in his here. Kingston gets the ladder and leans it up against the ropes before going underneath and holding it down between the top rope and the canvas as AJ goes across to the other side of the ring. Styles sprints across the ring, RUNS UP THE LADDER AND DELIVERS A SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO THE 6 MEN ON THE OUTSIDE!
The crowd get on their feet and cheer for Styles massive move. Kofi sort of snickers, before climbing up onto the top rope and awaiting the men to get to their feet before DIVING OFF AND HITTING ALL 7 MEN WITH A CROSSBODY! The crowd once again go berserk after the big spot, showing their appreciation for the World Tag Team Champions, The Jamaican Phenomenon. The 8 men each slowly get to their feet, the World Tag Team Champions, AJ Styles & Kofi Kingston up first before sliding Mr. Kennedy into the ring.
Styles and Kingston set Kennedy up in the turnbuckle and take turns chopping him across the chest, each man trying to chop harder than the other. MVP and Sydal are battling on the outside, when suddenly Abyss charges through and joins the fight, before Hardy does the same. Kingston and Styles quit chopping Kennedy and turn around, when suddenly Mysterio springboards off the top rope and flies at them for a seated senton. The tag team champions though catch him, before moving backwards and dropping Mysterio over the top rope onto Abyss, Jeff Hardy, Matt Sydal and MVP!
Kingston and Styles slowly get to their feet when Kennedy runs at them with ladder in hand. Kofi and AJ duck, then when Kennedy turns around he is hit with a Pele and a Trouble in Paradise kick in unison, sending the ladder straight into his face! AJ and Kofi lay on the mat as does Kennedy, when Jeff Hardy climbs into the ring with a ladder, making it the second one in the ring. Jeff sets it up and begins to climb. He is soon though cut off by Matt Sydal, who begins trading blows with Jeff a top the ladder. MVP climbs into the ring and grabs the other ladder in the ring before climbing up and reaching for the briefcase, yet only getting his fingertips on it before being cut off by Rey Mysterio. Kofi and AJ though are on the outside of the ring, and begin setting up tables on each side of the ring, double stacking them side-by-side. AJ and Kofi go into the ring and nod at each other BEFORE PUSHING BOTH THE LADDERS OVER IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS ONTO THE TABLES OUTSIDE THE RING!
The crowd once again begin a ‘Holy Shit’ chant as Kofi and AJ stand exhausted. They turn around and are met with a shot to the head each with a ladder, courtesy of Abyss. Abyss then puts AJ in a ladder, before opening and closing it to inflict more damage. Abyss now grabs Kofi in his arm BEFORE DELIVERING THE BLACK HOLE SLAM ONTO THE LADDER WITH AJ STILL INSIDE! Abyss roars in triumph at the damage he has caused, but suddenly from behind Mr. Kennedy catches him and hits him with the Mic Check face first onto the ladder in which Styles still lays between! Mysterio charges into the ring to get Kennedy, but he is flap jacked onto the ladder by Kennedy!
Kennedy begins to slowly climb up the ladder and grab the briefcase, becoming the first man to win the Money in the Bank ladder match twice in his career. MVP though comes in and ascends the ladder, beginning to trade fists atop the ladder. Matt Sydal suddenly springboards off the top rope and dropkicks the ladder, causing it to fall and MVP and Kennedy to both get hung up on the top rope. Jeff Hardy comes into the ring with a steel chair, before cleaning up Kingston, Styles and Abyss with chairshots to the upper back and skull. Hardy turns around though and is hit with a feint enzuigiri head scissors from Matt Sydal! Sydal follows it up with a big dropkick to the side of Rey’s head which sends Mysterio down to the floor.
Sydal now grabs one of the ladders and lays Hardy across it, before setting another ladder up in the corner and beginning to climb it to a huge pop from the crowd. Sydal sit’s atop the ladder and the whole arena sighs in awe at what he is expectedly about to do. Sydal leaps and goes for the Shooting Star Press off the ladder onto Hardy, BUT HARDY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND MATT SYDAL GIVES THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO THE LADDER! Sydal promptly rolls from the ring screeching in pain as he clutches his ribs and rolls around on the floor, EMT’s suddenly coming from the back with a stretcher in hand. Hardy stands and looks at Sydal out on the floor, but it is a mistake as he turns around and Kofi Kingston drills him with a Trouble in Paradise! Kofi now looks at Rey Mysterio who is getting to his feet near him. Kingston grabs the ladder and runs at Rey, HITTING HIM STRAIGHT IN THE HEAD AND BUSTING HIM WIDE OPEN! Rey now tumbles over the top rope and down to the floor!
Kofi sets up the ladder he just hit Rey with in the middle of the ring and begins to climb towards the briefcase. He has his fingertips on it when suddenly Abyss manouevres himself under Kingston, before dropping him down to the mat with a huge power bomb that shakes the ring! Abyss though is caught off guard by AJ Styles, who springboards off the second rope, before catching Abyss in a REVERSE DDT ON THE LADDER!! Mr. Kennedy charges at one half of the World Tag Team Champions, but is back dropped high in the air and crunches on the ladder. Styles now sees his opportunity, could he be the man to climb the ladder and win the title opportunity?
Styles is so close, inches away from the briefcase, when suddenly Mysterio ascends the ladder and stops AJ just before he can reach the briefcase. Mysterio gets his hand atop the handle and is about to unhook it…when MVP suddenly runs through and delivers a running kick to the ladder which causes AJ & Rey to fall and land on the top rope before crashing and burning down to the floor. MVP does his Ballin’ taunt, but when he turns around he receives a Twist of Fate onto the ladder from Jeff Hardy! Kofi though runs and nail Jeff with a clothesline, before laying him across the ladder. Kofi bounces off the ropes for his ‘BOOM BOOM’ leg drop BUT JEFF ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND KOFI LEG DROPS THE LADDER! Hardy gets to his feet triumphantly but is drilled in the skull by a baseball bat from Abyss. Abyss now decides it is his turn to try and claim the briefcase. The Monster looks like he shall win and become Mr. Money in the Bank, but Mr. Kennedy climbs the ladder and promptly cuts him off. Abyss and Kennedy trade punches until Kennedy ducks a massive swing from Abyss, before connecting with the Mic Check off the top of the ladder!!
The carnage is insane as all 7 men still left in the match are brutally left on the canvas. MVP rolls out of the ring clutching at his shoulder, as medical officials run to the ring to inspect what could be a serious injury. Kofi Kingston gets to his feet and begins to painfully climb the ladder as Jeff Hardy climbs the ladder next to him. AJ Styles is the third to his feet and climbs the ladder with Hardy atop it on the same side as Kofi. Jeff begins to trade fists with the World Tag Team Champions, but they outnumber him and he slips a bit on the ladder. Kofi and AJ put Hardy in a front facelock, before preparing to give him a double superplex off the top of the ladder. Mr. Kennedy though climbs up on Hardys side and clubs the backs of the champions, before knocking them both off their respective ladders with right hands.
Kennedy reaches up for the briefcase, but Hardy elbows him in the ribs. Jeff now sets him up for the Twist of Fate, performing the devastating finishing move OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER!! The Monster Abyss grabs the ladder and tries to run at Rey Mysterio, but he is drop toe holded onto the second rope, ladder in hand. Mysterio bounces off the other side of the ring BEFORE 619-ING THE LADDER INTO ABYSS’ FACE! Abyss falls to the mat still clutching the ladder, before Mysterio springboards of the top rope and Drops Da Dime onto ladder Abyss is laying under!
Rey slowly gets to his feet and sees the carnage around the ring while MVP is still being checked on by doctors outside the ring, realising he is the last man left standing. Mysterio begins to precariously climb the ladder reaching high for the briefcase. Suddenly, MVP throws the doctors away and runs forward pushing the ladder over and forcing Mysterio to fall down to the mat. Porter scales the ladder as quickly as he can once he sets it back up, before reaching up and grabbing the briefcase!!
MVP wins by retrieving the briefcase
New Mr. Money in the Bank: MVP
JR: What! MVP feigned an injury so he could take a break and let everybody else do the dirty work!
King: Well if he wants to win the championship he has got to be a crafty opportunist, something MVP just proved he is!
Cole: Well he just robbed every man in this match who put their careers and livelihoods on the line in this match and took the easy way out!
King: Cole, like it or not, Mr. Money in the Bank is straight up Ballin’!
------------------------------------------
We go backstage, where we see Coach standing, microphone in hand
Coach: Please welcome my guest at this time, The Rock!
The Rock walks on screen and pulls the microphone out of Coaches hands roughly
Rock: That’s it?

The Rock: Tonight, it is Wrestlemania. We are live, for the first time, in a venue outside of North America, down under in Sydney, Australia!
Cheap pop
The Rock: Where the millions…and the millions of The Rock’s fans are chanting his name!
A ‘Rocky’ chant breaks out throughout the arena
The Rock: And tonight, The Rock is making his Wrestlemania return after a 5 year absence, when he goes ONE-ON-ONE, with that mascara wearing dummy, the Undertaker. ‘Taker, it’s not Halloween anymore you stupid balding transvestite, so get that make-up off and get ready for some action! Under all that make-up, smoke and mirrors for all we now you’re like that loser Kevin Kelly, an ugly old hermaphrodite! But it doesn’t matter what you are, whether you’re straight, whether your bent, whether you just plain don’t get any, The Rock is gonna whoop your candy ass all over this arena!
Suddenly, Mick Foley walks on-screen to a big pop

The Rock: It doesn’t matter what our name is!! Mick, you are not electrifying, you are not great and you are certainly not The Peoples Champion! You see, that’s not a Peoples Champion-
The Rock points to Mick, before pointing to himself and saying
The Rock: THIS is a Peoples Champion. Now get your ass on outta here before The Rock kicks your ass outta here!
Foley leaves sulkily, but before he does he gives The Rock a thumbs up
Foley: Have a nice day mate!
Mick leaves to a big pop to warm up for his match
The Rock: Now where was I? Oh yeah, the Phenom. Now Undertaker, you may have your head so far up James Mitchells ass you can only see out of his brown eye, but that doesn’t matter. The Rock is still going to take all your Ministry of Drag members, shine them up REAL nice, turn them sumbitches sideways and shove them straight up your ass!
The Rock: It doesn’t matter if every member was at ringside in full drag. Maybe The Rock will have to go through the Boogeyman, which means (Rock pulls a weird face) I like to swallow worms ALL NIGHT LONG! Oh shut up ya stupid drag queen, the only things you’re going to ‘get’ is a visit to brown town courtesy of the Sinister Minister!
The Rock: What about Kane? Maybe The Rock will have to destroy him which means…Mwaahahahahhaha I am da big red blueberry, and the last thing I boned was a dead lady. Only problem is she wasn’t dead when I started!
Crowd pop once again as The Rock struts around the camera
The Rock: Now The Rock could go on and on and on about you and your cross-dressing buddies, but he is gonna get to the point! Undertaker, you’re gonna get your bow-legged ass down to the ring, then The Rock is gonna walk down the ramp.

The crowd reply will an ‘Oi, Oi, Oi!’ as The Rock leaves the screen to prepare for his match
------------------------------------
Interpromotional Match
‘One More Time’
CM Punk VS Samoa Joe
JR: CM Punk and Samoa Joe, two of the greatest the WWE has to offer going one-on-one One More Time! This is sure to be a slobber knocker!
Tazz: Just wait, Joe is gonna kill Punk, this won’t even be half a match
King: Wait until Punk gets his hands on Joe, then you and that that fat Samoan will shut your fat yaps, Tazz!
Punk climbs into the ring and is immediately attacked by Samoa Joe. Punk is using the ropes to stay upright, before Joe goes to the opposite side of the ring. Joe charges at Punk, but is back dropped over the top rope! Somehow Joe manages to hand onto the top rope though and stay on the apron. Punk turns around and is caught off guard by Joe, who puts him in a front facelock before GIVING CM PUNK A VERTICAL SUPLEX DOWN TO THE FLOOR!
Joe slowly gets up before Punk, before rolling back into the ring and breaking the referee’s count. Joe goes back and throws Punk into the barricade at ringside, his kidneys crunching into the wall with a thud. Punk slowly stumbles away as Joe grabs him by the arm, preparing to throw him into the ringpost. Punk counters though and throws Joe into the ringpost! Joe crashes into the steel hard and falls down to one knee, before Punk goes in the ring to break the count and rolls back to the outside. Joe is leaning against the turnbuckle as CM smiles and runs towards him, trying to clothesline Joe into the post. Samoa Joe though manages to counter the move DELIVERING THE STJOE ON THE FLOOR!!
Punk clutches at his back as Joe grabs him and throws him into the ring before making the cover. Punk kicks out just before the 2 count though, before Joe gets to his feet and begins to pull Punk up by the hair. CM begins to tee off on Joe, hitting him with forearm shots to the gut. Joe stumbles a bit before Punk bounces off the ring ropes and runs at the Samoan Submission Machine. Joe counters though and hits CM with a Reverse Atomic Drop, before himself bouncing off the ropes and hitting Punk with a single leg drop kick. Joe grabs Punk and tosses him into the corner, before beginning to hit him with stiff chops. Punk though fights back and delivers some chops of his own getting a big pop. Joe and Punk continue to exchange chops for a little longer, until CM manages to back Joe into the ropes. Punk throws Joe across the ring and goes for a clothesline on Joe, but he ducks under it. Punk turns around and is met by a massive kick from Joe, which almost turns Punk inside out.
Joe covers Punk for a two count, which frustrates him. Joe places Punk in an armbar, whilst digging his elbow into the shoulder joint of Punk. The crowd begin a slow ‘CM Punk’ chant with begins to will the Straight Edge Superstar on to get to his feet before digging his own elbow into Joe’s chest, then kicking him straight in the jaw. The momentum forces Joe backwards before he lands into the turnbuckle. Punk taps his knee as he stands on the opposite side of the ring before running at Joe, who quickly moves out of the way PUNKS KNEE CRASHING INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE SICKENINGLY! Punk hobbles away slowly and Joe kicks him stiffly in the knee, making it buckle and Punk to fall to the mat clutching at it.
Joe stares down and laughs as Punk grimaces in pain, before beginning to stomp on the injured knee. Punk winces with every shot, before Joe grabs his ankle and begins to tug and twist at the leg. Joe pulls CM hard into the middle of the ring, before turning him over and putting Punk into a one-legged Boston Crab. Punk grimaces in Pain as Joe leans back even further, increasing pressure on Punk’s knee. Punk reaches out for the ropes and manages to grip onto the bottom one. The referee begins his count and at 4 Joe finally lets Punk out of the hold. Punk slides out under the bottom rope and onto the apron, whilst the referee begins to berate Joe. Punk manages to hobble up into a standing position on the apron. Joe shoves the referee out of his way as he goes to meet Punk, but he is hit with a hard right hand. Joe wobbles backwards before Punk springboards painfully from the top rope for his signature clothesline, but Samoa Joe catches him in mid-air, before delivering a shattering knee breaker!
Punk drops to the mat in pain, Joe smirking happily. Joe awaits Punks rising, preparing to put CM into the Coquina Clutch. Punk staggers up to his feet as Joe steps in behind him and puts him in the Coquina Clutch! Punk though manages to frantically grip the top rope, forcing Joe to break the hold. Joe is once again forced to back away by the referee, before he once again moves over towards Punk, BUT PUNK NAILS HIM IN THE TEMPLE WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! Joe falls to the mat as does Punk, clutching at his knee once again. The referee begins the 10 count, Punk and Joe slowly starting to stir at roughly 5. Punk stands on the ropes, using them to support his weight instead of his injured knee. Joe regains his composure and runs across the ring at CM, who low bridges the Samoan Submission Machine out to the floor!!
Punk now turns around looking down at Joe waiting for him to get up before limping across the ring, before fighting through the pain and sprinting across, nailing Samoa Joe with a suicide dive! The crowd leave a big pop and begin another ‘CM Punk’ chant as he slowly gets to his feet and throws Joe into the ring, fighting through the pain in his knee. Joe gets up but is met immediately with another roundhouse from Punk. Joe stays on his feet though so Punk bounces off the ropes painfully and goes towards his adversary, but Joe catches Punk AND HIT’S A HUGE SAMOAN DROP!
All of Punk’s momentum is crushed with the one move, Joe now in control. Samoa Joe decides it’s time to put Punk away, and moves him over to the turnbuckle, preparing Punk for the Muscle Buster. CM sits up on the second turnbuckle as Joe tries to hoists him up. Punk fights him off though with right hands to the head, as Joe release his grip. Punk moves up further onto the top rope and pulls Joe up with him, placing him head between his legs and hooking the arms, setting Joe up for the Pepsi Plunge! Punk plays to the crowd a bit before diving off AND HITTING SAMOA JOE WITH THE PEPSI PLUNGE!
Punk falls away almost immediately, gripping his knee which he hit on the delivery of the move. Punk manages to finally roll over and throws his arm across the Samoan Submission Machine!
……
One!!
……
Two!!
……
No!! Joe managed to throw his shoulder up at the last second! Punk gets up with a look of frustration before pulling Joe up and managing to put the big man of his shoulders for the GTS! Joe manages to battle his way off though before getting Punk in position for the Muscle Buster! CM though this time battles out and pushes Joe away who falls back into the turnbuckle and knocks the down onto the canvas! As Samoa Joe groggily wobbles back forward, Punk manages to lift him up AND NAIL THE GTS! Punk though clutches the knee he used to deliver the move, before gradually moving back over towards Joe.
Punk makes it to the cover but the referee is knocked out on the floor! CM gets to his feet and looks down at the referee on the floor, trying to revive him. During this time, Joe sneaks up behind Punk and kicks him straight in the back of his injured leg! Punk tumbles down to the mat as Joe laughs and lifts him up by the hair, hitting him with the Muscles Buster! The referee comes to and begins to slowly make the count
One!!
……
Two!
……
No!! Punk grabbed onto the bottom rope! Joe gets up and begins to celebrate, thinking he won the match-up. The referee though turns to him and explains about the rope break, Joe yelling and kicking the ropes angrily. Punk begins to lift himself up using the ropes for aid, before Joe once again sits him in the turnbuckle for the Muscle Buster. He puts him in position, but Punk fights his way down. Joe spins around and CM tries for a big roundhouse kick, but Joe moves out of the way, trying then to secure Punk in the Coquina Clutch. CM though counters and sits Joe up onto his shoulders, before delivering another GTS! Punk painfully rolls over onto Joe
One!
……
Two!!
……
Three!!
CM Punk wins by pinfall
Tazz: What!
King: I told ya so, he can take his fat ass back to Samoa, Punk has done it!
JR: What a phenomenal one-on-one match-up we just witnessed, let’s head backstage to the Coach!
-----------------------------------------
We go backstage and we see Raven appear on screen holding a microphone. He brings it slowly up to his mouth as he begins to speak for the first time since his mysterious arrival in the WWE
Raven: (Heavy breathing into the microphone)
The crowd begin a ‘Raven Sucks’ chant, which Raven completely ignores
Raven: Hello everybody (cackles), it’s been a while hasn’t it. A while since I have had the opportunity to let the thoughts in my brain roll off my tongue and let what I am thinking be known to the world.
Raven: Everywhere I go, everyone I meet, it’s all one thing. What a monster this man is, he is twisted, he is sick. But I am not a bad person, no no, I am the good guy in this situation (more heavy breathing). You see, the world is a very evil place and all of you are what have made me this way. No longer can I walk down the street without being judged, the stinging barbs of their malicious eyes cut me deeper than any blade ever could.
Raven runs his fingers through his hair angrily
Raven: I feel no remorse for what I have done to people, nor for what I am about to do to Mick Foley. Everybody is getting what they deserve for the things this world has done to me. I am the saviour of this earth, I shall take revenge for those who cannot do it themselves. These hands have had more blood spilt upon them and my body has bled more than any other person on this planet. Mick Foley, I plan to rip your flesh and tear your tendons into so many pieces the doctors will deem you irreparable. Tonight is the first step in my revenge, Mick Foley shall bleed for all the people who have forced me into this behaviour. His pain shall be my cleansing, and my purification can finally begin once his flesh is torn from the bone and I feast on the suffering I cause in his heart. You people think this is the end? No, this is only the beginning of the suffering the superstars of the WWE will have to endure before my purification has been completed. This is far from over, my heart yearns for their blood and my desires shall not go unfulfilled. (some more heavy breathing) … Quote the Raven… Nevermore!
Raven stares at the screen before it fades to black
----------------------------------------
Interpromotional Match
Hardcore
Mick Foley VS Raven
King: It’s time for Mick Foley to finally step up and suffer, that sadistic Raven wants his blood!
JR: Sadistic is putting it lightly King! I fear for the safety of Mick Foley, after what he just said, I truly think that Mick’s only way out of this arena may be in a body bag!
King: And I’m loving every second of it, the emotions are going to explode JR!
Foley comes down to the ring and stands awaiting Raven for his first match since coming to the WWE. The lights go out before turning blood red, as Raven slowly begins his walk to the ring, with a steel chair in hand as he cackles maliciously. Foley though cannot wait as he runs straight down the ramp as the referee rings the bell. Raven swings the chair, but Mick ducks underneath and begins to unload with rights and lefts to the face of Raven. Raven tries to escape down to the ring but Mick continues to bludgeon him with fists before grabbing the steel chair Raven brought to the ring. Raven tries to recover on the apron before Mick swings for his head, but Raven ducks under it before grabbing Foley and giving him some vintage Raven with a Russian Leg Sweep into the barricade!!
Raven gets to his feet first and whips his hair back before grabbing Mick Foley by his arm. Raven delivers two stiff short arm clotheslines, before attempting to irish whip Foley into the barricade. Mick counters though and throws Raven into them gut-first, the momentum sending him flying over into the front row. Raven slowly gets to his feet and tries to climb over the guard rail, but Foley slams the steel chair right on the top of his head, stopping him dead in his tracks. Mick places the chair on the ground before putting Raven in a front facelock and giving him a vicious DDT off the barricade and down to the floor, Raven’s head crashing into the steel chair!
Foley gets up and gives the crowd a thumbs up to a big pop. Foley pulls Raven over to the steel steps and sits him up against them. Mick walks away before charging at Raven for a Foley Facebuster. Raven though rolls out of the way and Mick’s knee goes straight into the steel chairs and knocks them off the hinges! Mick falls to the ground clutching his knee as Raven gets to his feet laughing. Raven grabs Foley by the hair and throws him into the ring, before going under the ring for some weapons. Raven throws in a garbage can filled with various objects and 2 small bags, some chairs and a kendo stick. Raven now walks over and picks up the steel steps and slides them in as Foley crawls to his feet. Raven sets up the chair as Foley groggily gets to his feet, before drilling him face first into the chair with a drop toe hold!
Raven goes over to the trash can full of weapons and pulls one of the bags. Raven goes and pours the contents of the sack behind Foley, and thousands of thumb tacks spread out on the canvas! Raven now grabs the steel stairs and places them in front of Foley, once again preparing for some of his vintage moves as he backs away and waits for Mick to get to his feet. Raven charges and leaps off the steel steps for a diving clothesline to Foley, BUT MICK MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND RAVEN CRASHES STRAIGHT INTO THE THUMBTACKS!
Foley slowly gets to his feet as Raven writhes in pain in the thumbtacks. Mick goes over and pulls a cookie sheet out of the garbage can slamming it into the skull of Raven, who falls face down onto the steel steps. Mick grabs the back of Raven’s head and repeatedly slams it into the top of the steps, almost knocking Raven out cold. Mick now goes back over and tips out the contents of the garbage bin and takes the bin itself. He places the bin over Raven’s head before putting him back on the steps and climbing onto the top rope. Foley stands atop the ropes and does his ‘Bang! Bang!’ taunt, before diving off for his signature Cactus Elbow, BUT RAVEN MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY AND FOLEY ELBOW DROPS THE STEEL STAIRS!
Raven pulls the garbage can off his head before pulling Foley up off the ground. Raven grabs him and drags him over to the steps, preparing to piledrive him across the top of them. Raven though shakes his hand and walks towards the edge of the steps, facing the side where the thumbtacks lay. The sick Raven then lifts Foley up AND PILEDRIVES HIM OFF THE STEPS AND INTO THE THUMBTACKS!! Foley’s head is split open as blood starts gushing from his face like a waterfall. Raven rolls under the bottom rope and goes under the ring, and after a while emerging with a barbed wire baseball bat and a coil of barbed wire in hand.
Raven climbs gingerly back into the ring, when Foley charges and sends himself and Raven back down to the floor with a vicious Cactus Clothesline!! Foley and Raven both seem to be in intense pain, but Foley manages to get up first and goes under the ring, before pulling out a table and setting it up. While Mick does this though, Raven plays possum on the mat, wrapping the coil of barbed wire around his fist.
Foley slowly limps over to Raven, but when he pulls Raven up he is hit with a shot to the gut with his barbed wire fist. Foley stumbles as Raven jabs him in his wound with the barbed wire wrapped around his hand. Raven spits in the face of Mick before threatening to hit a fan and going for a discus clothesline, but Foley ducks and gives Raven a back suplex on the floor!! Mick painfully gets to his feet before picking up the barbed wire baseball bat that Raven had brought out from under the ring earlier. Mick stands like a batter waiting for the pitch as Raven groggily gets up, before slamming the bat across Raven’s skull, splitting his head open and causing him to fall across the table in the process!
Mick now ascends onto the ring apron, still with the barbed wire bat in hand. He smiles and does his ‘Bang Bang’ taunt before running along the apron and diving off, NAILING RAVEN ACROSS THE CHEST WITH THE BARBED WIRE BAT AND SENDING HIM THROUGH THE TABLE! Foley and Raven both lay stoically on the floor when Mick manages to roll over and lay his arm across the body of Raven, the referee beginning the first pinfall of this very personal match
One!!
…
Two!!
…
No!!
Raven manages to toss his shoulder up, much to Foley’s dismay. Foley pulls Raven up slowly by the hair, but Raven delivers a barbed wire low blow!! As Mick rolls on the floor clutching his balls, Raven delivers a barbed wire fist drop to them, inciting even more pain. Raven chuckles sadistically as he uncoils the barbed wire from his fist and pulls Mick up to a seated position. Raven steps behind Foley and puts himself in position to STRANGLE FOLEY WITH THE BARBED WIRE! Mick though luckily elbows Raven in the gut and forces him to stumble away as Foley gets to his feet. Raven keeps the attack going by charging at Foley, trying to send the barbed wire into his face. Mick ducks though and drop toe holds Raven, WHOS HEAD IS SENT STRAIGHT INTO THE BARBED WIRE BAT USED EARLIER IN THE MATCH!!
Mick once again limps over to Raven, before going under the ring and pulling out some tables which he begins to set up on the outside, two side by side. Mick slowly turns to pick up Raven, but is nailed in the gut with a stiff forearm. Raven throws him into the ring before quickly following him in. Mick is getting up to his feet before Raven charges up behind him HITTING MICK WITH A BULLDOG ONTO THE STEEL STEPS! Foley’s limp body slides from the stairs sickeningly as Raven rolls him over for the cover
One!
……
Two!!
……
……
No!!
Mick got his shoulder up a fraction of a decimal of a second before the three count. Raven stares down at Foley and screams ‘You should’ve stayed down!’ before mounting him and beginning to unload with straight right hands to the open wound on the forehead of Foley. Raven now gets to his feet and taunts, before climbing onto the steel steps. Raven wipes the blood on his fist across his chest before climbing onto the steps and chuckling sadistically. Raven slowly pulls Mick up by the hair before trying to put him in DDT position, BUT MICK COUNTERS AND GIVES RAVEN A SWINGING NECKBREAKER ON THE STEEL STEPS!!
Both men limply roll off the steps, seemingly both out cold. The crowd begin a slow ‘Foley’ chant as each man goes to opposite sides of the ring, using the ropes to try and hoist themselves off the mat. Mick is up first and stares across the ring at Raven, awaiting him to get back to a standing position. Foley runs at Raven trying to deliver yet another Cactus Clothesline, but Raven ducks down and low bridges Foley out of the ring! Mick tumbles to the outside floor sickeningly as Raven regains his breath.
Raven now climbs outside the ring, before he starts dragging Foley around to where the two tables are set up. He lands some more punches to Foley’s skull before tossing him aside and going underneath the ring. After a bit of search Raven pulls his hands out, holding lighter fluid and a box of matches! Raven begins to squirt the lighter fluid over the two tables Mick had set up earlier before shutting the bottle and throwing it into the crowd. Raven now pulls out a match and strikes it, before tossing it onto the tables and both catching ablaze!!
Foley is still seemingly down on the floor, but he slowly slides Mr. Socko onto his hand. Raven watches the fire twinkle before his eyes as he puts a twisted smile across his face. Raven grabs Foley and begins to climb onto the apron, before bringing Foley up with him. Suddenly, MICK PUTS RAVEN IN THE MANDIBLE CLAW!! Raven is in pain on the apron, before kicking Foley straight in the balls. Mick loosens his grip and falls to one knee, giving Raven the opening he needed. He puts Mick in a front facelock, before giving Mick Foley A RAVEN EFFECT DDT OFF THE APRON THROUGH THE TWO BURNING TABLES!!
The crowd chant ‘Holy Shit’ as both men lay on the floor groggily. Raven slowly manages to toss his arm across the body of Foley as the referee begins the count
One!!
……
Two!!
……
Three!! It’s all over!
Raven wins by pinfall
JR: Bah Gawd what a sadistic match-up!
King: Raven wanted blood, and that’s exactly what he got!
Raven painfully gets to his feet celebrating to some heat and cheers, before staring down at the broken body of Foley. Paramedics rush down to the ring as Foley is not moving an inch in any which way. They begin to lift Foley onto the stretcher when Raven starts to laugh sadistically. He throws all of the paramedics away before lifting up Mick and PLANTING HIM ONCE AGAIN WITH A RAVEN EFFECT DDT! Foley is once again not moving as paramedics cautiously go forward to help him, Raven grinning as he walks up the ramp.
JR: What the hell was that King! What is wrong with this man!
King: He was just finishing the job. And you better get used to it JR, this has only just begun!

by the way great first part man - Here is my review
The MITB Ladder match review - A great opener, I expected it to be latter in the card but nonetheless, the match was possibly the best match so far in this Wrestle mania (So far) I loved all the action with so many people I have tried MITB before and it isn't easy to controll and write what every person is doing every second around the ring but you did it quite nicely good job and good pick for the winner this possibly means that MVP will drop the IC title and this possibly means MVP vs Champion soon... I really want to see that and I think MVP is a great main eventer choice because whoever wins the MITB is clearly going to main event level and good you picked him. A great match overall. Good job.
The Promo between The Rock and Coach / Foley - A great promo really kept it in character and in touch if you know what I mean, because anyone can just slap together a sentence in a promo but the good thing about this promo was that I could actually picture this happening they said things which they usually would say.. which kept it in character and funny at the same time.. You used lots of Rock "catch phrases" and which was good but you missed one
when the rock goes "Jabronni beating. (lawlawlawlllll) PIE EATING Heart STopping, elbow dropping people's champ THE ROCK" and some other stuff in between you forgot the "LAWLAWLAWL" part lol... no pun intended anyway still a great promo - good job with this one too really showed you can do a great promo...
CM Punk vs JoeI am going to be perfectly honest with the last match and promo that was so well you brought high expectations with this match - I personally am not a big fan of both men but still I thikn there could have been a bit more action I mean most of the match was the "Enters" between the referee's count that was what took up most of the match itself and well I din't like it very much it was an alright match but for wrestlemania I thnk it could have been done a little a tad better - eh a so so job on this and I am being perfectly honest. some might say otherwise but thats what I think.
Harcore Match - Foley & Raven A better match than the above one - This was a good match, I think you went for the weapons a little too early I mean you could have slowed it down and made it "anticipating" Instead of right into the blood like a couple of moves in teh ring a little longer taken to get to the weapons but still it was great just was too "Fast pace" for my liking but you don't have to wring your matches exactly for me so its still good what style you do it in and its your choice but for what you did it was good match but I think MITB takes the cake for best so far for this part - Good ending for this match too I mea nafter the Steel steps and the tacks one "BIG" finish was needed and the ending was a good one... Good job :thumbs up:
Ill give my other part review when it is up - once again good job with it.
Also one other thing great "Australia AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE and OIH OIH OIH and "Mate" Quotes I really laughed at that being a former Aussie for most of my life"
Also I have a show up if you feel like it - ....

AUSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! OI OI OI!
Now I got that out of my system, let's see what you've done here.
Money In The Bank Match: Quite an interesting mix of superstars. Most of these guys you have created rivalries between, so you sem to be booking this whole thing smartly. The match itself was awesome, you had spots everywhere. I loved the teamwork you had between the Jamaican Phenomenon, their twin dives were great. AJ being squashed in the ladder several times was pretty damn cool too. Really smart finish, with MVP feigning his injury. Mysterio pwns for a bit, whem MVP suddenly comes in and takes advantage. Great start to the PPV.
The Rock promo (w/ special guest Mick Foley): This was great. Awesome start with The Rock, you really have talent with him. I loved Foley coming in, it really reminded me of the promos that I've watched (mostly on the internet, youtube ftw). The Rock then finished off strongly. Great, great promo, this PPV has been awesome so far.
CM Punk vs Samoa Joe: Yee olde classic. These two have had some great matches in the past which a lot of the bookers here will not know about. They have been to two, one hour draws, and a classic that followed up straight after that in ROH. I've seen a very good match from them too from an event in England. So these two do have a huge history together. Did this match deliver to that history? Probably not. It was a decent match, but these two are great in the ring together, and it didn't have the same feel. I get the feeling you aren't real familiar with Joe, as you mised a few of his move combos. He;s a very differne tstyle of wrestler, and well, he just felt like your regular Joe (HA!) here. Still an alright match, good enough with most wrestlers.
Raven promo: Excellent, excellent promo. You have obviously done some research here, as this is exactly how Raven should sound. I loved the promo, it really puts Raven over. Seems like you have some plans for him.
Mick Foley vs Raven: Two hardcore icons going at it in their specialty match, a great idea for a match. This match was pretty damn insane, there were so many innovative spots. To start with, most of the sick moves were due to the opponent dodging, like Foley kneeing the steps, or Raven going into the thumbtacks. The only big move early that was actually hit early was the DDT into the chair from Foley. The match continued to build, and was sensational. The ending was amazing, something I'd love to see in real life. Extremely dangerous lol.
AC: Good start young one, I really liked what you've done here. Let's hope you can keep this going for the rest of the PPV.

Wrestlemania XXV Part 1 review
MITB- Holy Crap! This was an amazing match. There was chaos, brawling, ladder spots, everything that a good laddermatch should have. I'm predicting that this will be match of the night. Great job, I don't know how you could top yourself.
Rock promo- Good as always. It's like you can channel the Rock.
Punk vs. Joe- another great match. The nearfalls were very well done. I was suprised that you broke out the Pepsi Plunge.
Raven promo- interesting promo. Raven is one of the best promo cutters ever and you did him justice right here.
Raven vs. Foley: Another awesome match. This was a violent as it should be. The spots you used were great and they wern't to over the top.
This has been a great show so far and I'm looking forward to part 2. If you get the chance drop a review for POI Episode 28.

Money in the Bank: Great choice as the opener. It is always good imo to start a PPV with a strong match to get people interested and continue reading. Lots of crazy spots, especially from AJ and Kofi, that both delivered and suffered. Poor AJ getting that Black Hole Slam while being inside the ladder. The ending was pure smart booking with classic heel acting by MVP, that could set a feud with any of the participants that feels insulted with his actions.
Rock promo: it was amazing. You had the classic start with the Coach, then you passed to Mick and The Rock, you gave tribute then to The Rock promo going into Armageddon 6man HIAC(it was almost identical). The ending was amazing.
CM Punk vs Samoa Joe: It was a good match. It had a lot of nice spots that gave out the feeling that both men really wanted to win this match. The ending, with a second GTS for the win, doesn't hurt Joe at all.
Raven promo: I haven't seen Raven cut a promo in real life, so I won't comment about this. It did hype the next match.
Raven vs Foley: Again, lots of crazy spots, but in a different way, more brutal than crowd pleasing. There were some, like the neckbreaker on the steel steps, that I questioned how much longer could the match go. I didn't like Raven winning

MITB - It was good seeing this match on first, and it was the best out of this first part IMO. you were able to keep all 8 guys in on the action, which is very, very difficult. MVP winning was good, he seemed the most ME ready out of everyone in the match.
Rock and Foley promo - It was really good, and it moved along well. Dwayne Johnson got all of his lines in, and he put over the match with Taker well. Foley even got in on it too, butting in when the Rock would talk.
Joe vs Punk again - I can tell that you tried to make this match great, but it was really missing alot. I think you could've built it up WAY better, but there's already so much stuff that's on the show. The match itself was OK, it didn't have the aura of like "OMGz Joe vs Punk" it felt like just another match. There wasn't that much chain wrestling, though the beginning was pretty nice. But at the end, it felt like you were just putting moves in and skipping 10 lines for a pin count, which I hate. Punk winning was good, but I hope that wasn't the final chapter.
Raven promo - Pretty great. It was really something Raven would say, and it showed the history between he and Foley. Nice dialogue too, that's what made this.
Foley vs Raven - a very sick matchup. Lots of the moves in it were pretty brutal, and it was back and forth throughout. The only thing I have a problem with is how some of the moves weren't really current day Raven or Foley. Nonetheless, a good match to end part one, I'll keep my eye out for part 2 yo.
