Edge: 'Well they should be crapping themselves.'
I thought it was a great way to kick off a new brand by having a varitey of different matches (i.e. Battle Royal, Gauntlet Match, and then of course the regular matches) Also it was good to see that you established a champion in the first show rather than draw it out a couple more episodes...good job on the show overall. In my opinion RAGE made a strong debut...definitely more exciting than the RAW episode...(no offense) Defintely be interesting to see what the ratings will look like with this one.

'No Chance!' hits and Vince McMahon comes out. He is holding a microphone, he walks down to the ring normally not like he normally confidently does.
Vince: Ladies & Gentleman, You may have seen last weeks RAW and how Smackdown is no more.
Vince pauses and the crowd is almost silent.
Vince: Well, We now have a number of Smackdown members on our roster, sadly though we are going to have to get rid of some of you due to cost and crowdedness. So tonight the first match will be a Ladder Match, where one very, very lucky superstar will climb that ladder and grab the contract to keep their job. The competitors will be, Hardcore Holly, Charlie Haas, Big Daddy V, Mark Henry, Lance Cade, Matt Striker, Snitsky & DH Smith. I'm sorry guys but thats just the way it is. Good Luck.
King: Big Daddy V, Mark Henry, Snitsky in a ladder match!
JR: Well they are going to have to find a way to get that briefcase with the WWE contract in it or they won't have jobs.
King: Yes you are right JR, Well this match will begin after the break.

Maria: Ladies & Gentleman currently with me right now is AJ Styles, AJ, What made you come to WWE?
AJ: Well first off Maria, It's 'The Phenomenal AJ Styles' and secondly, the opportunity was there, those losers were fighting for a job, I was stupidly sacked by another company I will not name and I needed a job and there it lay, hanging from the roof of the arena, the ladder was already set up for me. Its like it was meant to be, Maria.
Maria: Okay, do you see any future rivalries here at WWE?

AJ: Well, to become WWE Champion of course.
AJ smirks as Maria has that confused face she does after every interview.
JR: Well AJ Styles definitely seems to be a cocky one.
King: Yeah but who cares JR, unlike you AJ Styles is a winner.
JR: (Sighs) Well up next is a Money In The Bank Ladder Match Qualifying Match between Kane & Matt Striker, now I know Matt Striker was fired earlier on, but since we had an interference in the match, Vince McMahon has giver Striker another chance, if he beats Kane he is in the Match at Wrestlemania, if he loses, he is jobless. Good Luck Matt!
Matt Striker's music hits and he comes down to the ring looking relieved, but yet still scared. He steps in the ring and takes off his jumper and warms up...
... BANG! Flames go up on the ramp and the Big Red Monster, Kane makes his way to the ring. He steps over the ropes and smirks at Striker before throwing his arms in the air and dropping them to make fire come out the turnbuckles.

Vince: So, what is it called? What does it include?
Charlie: Well Vince, I just thought I might call it... CLASH OF THE COMPANIES!
Vince has a horrified look on his face.
Charlie: And I have already thought of a great idea for a match. Just like at your pathetic Survivor Series, a 10-Man Elimination Tag, Team WWE vs... Team CWA, you pick your 5 best superstars, I'll pick mine, in fact lets make it No-Holds-Barred aswell! What about that Vince?!
Vince: Well...
Vince is interrupted
Charlie: Oh! And there could be inter-company matches, like a WWE Superstar vs a CWA Superstar. And... What about this match Vince? You vs Me?
Crowd give a massive pop

JR & King: What?!
It's CWA's Charlie Cosgrove! He walks down the ring in his casual suit, holding a microphone. He enters the ring.
Charlie: Hello, everyone.
Crowd Boos
Charlie: Haha, yes it is me again! See, I'm just here for a short while. So I will just cut to the chase... VINCE! Get out here!
Charlie & Everyone else look at the ramp but no-one comes out.
Charlie: Vince! What? Are you scared?
'No Chance!' hits and McMahon comes out.
Vince: I'm not scared of anything!
Charlie: I think you are.
Vince: Scared of what?
Charlie: Myself, & CWA.
Vince: Thats preposterous.
Charlie: Alright then Vince, I have a challenge for you.
Vince: Bring it on!
Charlie: I challenge you, after Wrestlemania 24, your most prized creation. See, I will let you have all the spotlight on that night, since I'm a nice guy. But after that, in fact 2 Sundays after that I challenge you, a Pay-Per-View.
Vince: So, what is it called? What does it include?
Charlie: Well Vince, I just thought I might call it... CLASH OF THE COMPANIES!
Vince has a horrified look on his face.
Charlie: And I have already thought of a great idea for a match. Just like at your pathetic Survivor Series, a 10-Man Elimination Tag, Team WWE vs... Team CWA, you pick your 5 best superstars, I'll pick mine, in fact lets make it No-Holds-Barred aswell! What about that Vince?!
Vince: Well...
Vince is interrupted
Charlie: Oh! And there could be inter-company matches, like a WWE Superstar vs a CWA Superstar. And... What about this match Vince? You vs Me?
Crowd give a massive pop
Vince: You know what Charlie?!... Your On!! And the RAW after Wrestlemania you will announce my 5 Superstars, and the CWA after Wrestlemania I will come to your company for a change and announce my 5 superstars!
Charlie smiles
Charlie: Great.
'Boom' hits and Charlie leaves the ring. While Vince thinks for a little bit.

Now Shawn Michaels & JBL will be facing off at Wrestlemania and lets just say these two men are not the best of friends, JBL has said some horrible things about Shawn Michaels' family and has also said some horrible things to Shawn Michaels. And I guarantee all those things will be going through Shawn Michaels mind at Wrestlemania.

BM: I loved the Extreme Gauntlet match, and I thought that was probably your best match of the night. Well written, and good length for a T.V show. Nice to see Punk win, but I think RVD would have been more suited for the win.
WM: N/A
BP: I liked the Edge promo the most, and I felt that you captured Edge's character really well, and it was nice to read.
WP: I didn't really like the promo with Mercury and the GM in his office, it was just to bland and generic for me, it didn't really lead to anything.
AC: This was a pretty good show, and it was nice to read. I'll be checking out your next shows whenever you get them up. For this show though, I'll give it a 8.5/10 overall.

BM: Extreme Gauntlet Match, it was just the best and I liked the unpredictability
WM: None, altough the main event could have served to be longer. Besides, I don't believe Edge actually help the champion instead of betraying him looking for his belt.
BP: Edge's one, still, I don't recall Edge messing uo with names, maybe messing up with the person himself, but never forgetting their names
WP: Mercury's one. There was no reaction for the secret opponent announcement.
AC: Great debut, I think that the main event was overshadowed by the Extreme Battle Royal, but the ending was great and it sets the tone for weeks to come
