WWE: Exceeding All Expectations

[THE Brian Kendrick's Biceps]

WWE sucks. So I’m going to go all Chris Jericho and save it, just without the failure.

This’ll start up after WrestleMania 24, with a few small changes which I feel are for the best. The only one I’ll reveal now is that ECW is no longer because the member of their brand lost a Brand Supremacy Match at WrestleMania, with Umaga pinning Chavo to cause ECW to fold (unrealistic, I know, but still I had to do something).

I know doing a somewhat modern WWE BTB is looked upon as somewhat generic, but it’s what I know best, so it’s something I’d like to do.

So, let’s begin.

That just about wraps it up for now. I’d like to thank you in advance for any comments, though I know there isn’t too much to comment on. I’ll divulge a few more details in a news/rumours bulletin later, and then go from there.

Credit for my super sexy banners goes to CT Styles. Yeah, I know, he's awesome.

Um, yeah.​

Looks aight you JOBBAH~! But, you said you would save the WWE like Jericho did, but you can't live up to the expectations of Jericho, hell, you can't be in the same sentence as Jericho. At least you sort of put the demise of ECW in a storyline instead of just saying you cbf and got rid of it, so kudos to you for that. You have some "competition" for Best New BTB (*cough* Gards *cough*), but anyway good luck, you'll need it, JOBBAH~!

 

[seX-Power]

Cool, but I guess this means there'll be no-ah NOAH. (get it?)

Looks alright, I think a WWE BTB is also what you needed to get back on track with things. It seems to be working for Pat. I hated this time in the WWE and I hope you can make it better. You're one of my faves to read so I'll be reviewing virtually every show.

 

[Evil Austin]

Good to see you back; though whenever you did return I was hopping it was going to be with HOW. But this is also good.

It is set at a good fairly recent time with good rosters; unless you are doing it in recap form hopefuly you can handle it. The Mixed rosters with a couple of ECW guys on Raw and Smackdown looks good.

Can't wait. Good luck.

 

[Beer]

I guess our BTB never happened, back to finding a partner for me. Anyway, looking good, tbh. You know I love your booking, so you know. Good luck.

 

[Moonlight Drive]

Push Hardcore Holly NAOW!

Let's see what you do with it James, good luck.

 

[CT Styles]

This one's the one I think.

WWE News & Notes

Coming off of WrestleMania, there are of course many big things happening in the ‘E. We’ve heard several rumours and reports, some of which sound farfetched, others of which sound true. As a result the following news/rumours have been reported:


- The special three hour draft edition of RAW which will come to us from England is said to be bringing about many big changes/surprises. The thought is that Vince is happy with where many of the under-carders are, though he thinks the main-event needs to be freshened up with some moves between shows. Even big names such as Triple H, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker are going to be thrown up, with odds that at least one of them will move shows.

The former ECW superstars will be another interesting point of the draft. Having just moved, it seems unlikely that any will move again, though someone who the creative team aren’t too sure on, such as Elijah Burke, may just find themselves swapping shows again.

- WWE has officially lifted the suspension on Jeff Hardy. Vince McMahon was said to think that missing out on WrestleMania was punishment enough for Jeff, and considering he would have won Money in the Bank had he not been suspended, one has to agree.

- Teddy Long is said to be done with the company. Many within WWE felt that Teddy could no longer do anything of worth for them on-screen, and there was no reason to keep him employed off. Once WWE fired Krystal and scrapped the storyline of her using him last year, Teddy was said to be pretty much doomed.

- The cruiserweight division is said to be a certainty to be brought back. While before it was more of a joke, Michael Hayes (head writer of SmackDown!) has said that he thinks the division needs to come back to add excitement to the brand. Crowd reaction has been suffering during the matches of certain superstars of late, and if the cruiserweights were to make a return, they could keep the attention of the crowd up for longer.

- The post WrestleMania cuts are said to be coming soon. With Teddy Long already gone, expect many ECW alumni to go. Stevie Richards is almost a lock to be fired, while many think that Kevin Thorn is another one to go. WWE are also considering just having Tommy Dreamer do his job backstage and leave performing in front of the camera.

- While usually there are a lot of call ups from developmental, WWE aren’t said to be too high on too many FCW stars. Ted DiBiase Jr, Eddie Colón, Jake Hager, Matt Sydal and Hade Vansen are said to be the only guys WWE really want to see on the main stage.

- And finally, WWE is said to have been in negotiations with a former World Champion. There are no clues as to who it is just yet, but it is said that they aren’t too far away from signing on the dotted line.



That is all my super best friends. Look for a RAW preview in the next few days, with the show (which is finished) to be up not long after that.

Former World Champion will be Goldberg, spoilt you're mystery thing there.

 

[seX-Power]

Former World Champion will be Goldberg, spoilt you're mystery thing there.

Umm what? If this isn't true then don't mislead people with false rumors. And if it is true and you have found out somehow, don't ruin the surprise for other people. If it is true anyway, I'll be kinda pissed. Goldberg is alright, but there are so many other people that I would enjoy reading more.

 

[rosewt01]

:L, it isn't true, i just thought it would be, but i have reason to believe otherwise now.

 

[the hibee wwe fan]

If were taking guesses on the Former World Champion, what about Rob Van Dam or The Rock or Stone Cold Steve Austin

 

[C4]

I'll try and follow this. Sounds good, somewhat innovative.

Should be something unique.

 

[Qwake]

Looks pretty good, quite basic which is actually a good thing imo, your other BTBs were always something new but maybe a basic one will be more fun writingwise and hopefully you stick with this one and write when you've got time. Noble on the Smackdown banner pwns

Goodluck.

 

[y2j__legend]

Time for the News & Notes comment IMO.

Main event drafts make the night a much bigger occasion instead of trading midcarders and the like, so hopefully you trade some main eventers in the draft. Creates shock value IMO.

Good move in stopping the suspension for Jeff, and I have a feeling that you have something big for him since you have cut his suspension early. Some may and may not agree, but push plz.

I am meh on the firing of Teddy Long, never been much of a fan for him but h could have been used as a valuable asset IMO.

Thank you for bringing back the Cruiserweight Division, and hopefully you can create some good matches for the Division on the Smackdown side of things. An Evan Bourne/ Matt Sydal debut FTW.

Obviously ECW alumni will go after their brand's demise, not much to comment on here tbh.

As I said earlier, bring in Sydal plz, along with DiBiase Jnr. The other three are good from what I have seen, so they could be valuable to your roster.

If the former World Champion is either Rob Van Dam, Kurt Angle or Brock Lesnar, I will <3 you forever .
