WWE: Life After Vince

[LAURINAITIS33]

WWE: Life After Vince​

The fall of 2008 saw many changes in the world of professional wrestling. It started off with the retirment of long-time WWE star Kane at Survivor Series. Then unexpectly during the summer, Panda Energy Inc. pulled out of it's partnership with TNA due to the struggling economic times. The promotion struggled to stay afloat but after Slammiversary, the promotion closed it doors for good after it couldn't find anybody to take their place.After the promotion's closing, the forever shrewed businessman, Vince McMahon bought the rights to the company, once again squashing the competition.

Going into the 2009 Royal Rumble, wrestling fans were excited with rumors of ex-TNA stars debuting on the show but the show ended with only the return of Kurt Angle as the surpise 30th entrant. The return of Angle didn't stop the Undertaker from winning the chance to headline Wrestlemania. The World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena and the WWE Heavyweight Champion, Triple H, now faced their stiffest challenge ever.

Finally, The Undertaker made his choice, opting to face off with Cena while Triple H got pitted against his former Evolution stable mates Batista and Randy Orton in a three way match for his title. It was also announced that Mr. McMahon himself, will headline the Hall of Fame ceremonies with his own induction. Wrestlemain 25 was shaping up as the most historic ever.

The next night on RAW, the WWE was shocked as Vince McMahon announced his retirement from the WWE. He discussed his decision for his successor as the leader of the WWE was decided as Stephanie and Shane have both proved themselves as worthy replacements. He issued a challenge to both sibling to find a wrestler to represent them at Backlash. Stephanie chose no other then her own husband and WWE Champion, Triple H while Shane countered with the World Heavyweight Champion, The Undertaker. With both champions schedule to meet, Vince decided to make it a truly all or nothing scenario with making it into a unification match with one man unifiying both titles. Whoever walked out of Backlash the champion will seal the fate of the WWE.

The Backlash pay per view was a hit as The Undertaker battled Triple H in an epic No-DQ match. Undertaker gained control late and hit the Tombstone Piledriver as Shane mocked Stephanie at ringside but before the referee counted HHH out , we saw Edge come out with a steel chair and attack the Undertaker from behind, seriously injuring him and cashing in his MITB contract by pinning Triple H. Shane and Stephanie didn't know what this would mean as neither of their wrestlers walked out the champion.

On the next RAW a disappointed Vince McMahon appeared and called out both of his children. He shocked everyone by saying that Undertaker had Triple H beat and awarded the keys to the WWE kingdom to Shane McMahon. Shane once again mocked his sister as he celebrated. While Shane celebrated, Vince pulled a suprise as he announced that although Shane was the leader of the WW, Stephanie was going to be the leader of the new WCW. Stephanie looked confused at that announcement as the WCW didn't have a roster or anything else. Vince went out to state that Smackdown will now become the new WCW. The fans went wild as the two McMahons stared at each other in the ring as Vince left a WWE ring for the last time.

Shane and Stephanie quickly made their own mark with cutting the amount of pay per views down to six. The WWE would have Summer Slam and Survivor Series while WCW will have Great American Bash and Starrcade. The Wrestlemania and Royal Rumble shows will see both companies represented. They also announced that ECW will be changing to all-diva format renamed easily, DIVAS. Also both RAW and the new Friday Nitro would be split into two different shows. RAW would air with a PG rating at 9pm but then turn into WAR at 10pm with a MA rating, Nitro would do the same with switching to Xplosion at 9pm. This they hoped would please the younger and more mature WWE audience giving them a taste of both worlds.

But the biggest announcement came with the major title's decision. Since Edge was the unified World Champion and screwed both of the new owners, he was left with the belt but no show, in turn it was made official that the World Champion would defend the title in both companies based on who the number one contender was at that time. WWE and WCW would crown their own respective heavyweight champions to be exclusive to their own shows also. All other champions was stripped off the respective titles as tournaments were announced to decided the new champions. A WWE Crusierweight title, WCW Television title, DIVAS Intercontinental title and DIVA Tag Team titles were added to the mix.

Finally the roster took shape as wrestlers were released, the fomer TNA stars finally debuting, signing free agents and the draft taking place. The new roster was this.

Solid! I like it and I think this could turn out to do pretty good, but I question if you can do 3 shows. Other then that I like the backstory and having WCW come back. It should be exciting and you did good on your last BTB so I'm hoping this will be even better.

 

[Travis40]

I saw your thread another forum also, so I'm looking forward to reading this. Good luck!

 

[LAURINAITIS33]

WWE RAW live from Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio
​

(The show kicks off with his normal promo showcasing the stars of the WWE. The camera spans the sold-out arena as we fans roaring, as the new era in the WWE is ready to begin. Finally the camera stops in the ring, where we see the new owner of the WWE, Shane McMahon standing proudly with mic in hand.)​

Shane (smiling): " I would like to welcome everybody to first ever "Monday Night RAW" of the Shane-O-Mac era."


(Crowd cheers for Shane)



Shane (soaking it in): "One questions has been asked to me over the course of this last few weeks. Shane, how can you top your father? The answer is easy...(pauses as the crowd waits silently) I'm going to give what you the fans want!



(The crowd erupts to Shane's cheap plug)



Shane: "The first thing, I'm going to do is give you a general manager for RAW that won't back down from a wrestler. (crowd cheers). Somebody that will take it too the limit. (crowd cheers). Somebody that for sure will make RAW the most entertaining show in wrestling today.Ladies and gentleman, I give you your new RAW General Manager."



(Shane points to the entrance ramp as music is heard for the first time on RAW in years as "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash walks out to the roar of the crowd. He gives the crowd the old "Wolfpac" sign as he saunters to ringside. Shane and Nash shakes hands in the middle ring as McMahon hands the mic to the seven-footer. The crowd finally dies down as "Big Sexy" is ready to talk)



Nash: (pulling his back out of his face): "First off, let me say it feels real good to finally be back on MONDAY NIGHT RAW!!!"



(The crowd erupts once again for a cheap plug)



Nash:"Let me say, when Ol' Shane-O call me with this idea, I wasn't sure. But when he assured me that I would have total control of the show, I couldn't resist. I mean RAW with me in charge, it's only TOOOOO SWEEEET!!



(The crowd erupts, but soon music is overheard as the cheers quickly turn to boos as the World Heavyweight Champion, Edge, appears with his new manager, Angelina Love by his side. He struts down to ringside as Nash doesn't look happy about being interrupted)



Edge (cocky smile on face): "WHOAAA!!(shaking his fingers in front of him), look Angelina it's the scary "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash."



(Edge and Angelina laughs as Nash and Shane look on)



Edge: "So Kev, you are the man in charge huh...(Nash shakes his head yes) So let me lay down the law right here, see this (He holds up his belt). This is the World Heavyweight Championship and means that to you I'm untouchable. I'm not a wrestler here on RAW, I come and go as I please and wrestle who I want, when I want. As long as we see, eye to eye, on this Kev, I think we will get along just fine. What do ya say?"



Nash:"Well, Edge that's a tempting offer but I have to say NO! (crowd erupts). You are right that you are not on the WWE RAW roster but Shane here, has assured me that if you do show up on this show, that I DO have the right to make matches for you. So how about tonight you put that shiny, new title on the line against let's say......MY OLD FRIEND "THE HEARTBREAK KID" SHAWN MICHAELS?!!"



(The crowd roars as the match is announced, Edge is beside himself as Angelina tries to console him. Nash and Shane smile in the ring as Edge and Angelina finally vacates the arena)



Nash (as they are walking up the ramp): "Hey Angelina, remember my office is always open if you want to find out why they call me "Big Sexy"!



(Edge is outraged by the comments and heads back to the ring before Love finally stops him. Nash puts his fist in the air as his music plays and we go to commercial)



---COMMERCIAL BREAK----



(We come back from break and see Edge and Love still visibly upset when the come across Randy Orton backstage)



Edge: (stopping Orton): "Did you just see what happened? Did you see how Kevin Nash is screwing me over already."



Orton: "Yeah, I saw it Edge and really I couldn't believe it."



Edge: "I know can you believe that he is making me wrestle, Shawn Michaels." (Angelina Love rubs his shoulders as Edge is beside himself)



Orton: "No what I can't believe that Kevin Nash didn't pick me instead! Everybody knows that in a match between the two of us, that I would come out on top. But instead coming up on WAR, I have a four way match to become WWE Champion against Batista, Jeff Hardy and CM Punk. (The crowd pops at the announcement) So you should consider yourself lucky."



Edge: "Oh, is that so, Randy. I have no problem meeting up and defeating you on down the line but we both have to worry about tonight. I would like to see both of us walk out of the arena tonight with gold around our waist. What do ya say?"



(Orton rubs his chin, contemplating the offer. Edge eggs him on and finally the trio walks off together as we go back to the ring)



( Jillian Garcia announces that the next match is a first round match up in the Intercontinental Title tournament as the crowd cheers the announcement. The music starts as the crowd gives a decent pop to Val Venis who comes down to ringside wearing his trademark towel around his waist. He does his little hip swivel for the ladies in the audience before Jillian announces his opponent. Santino arrives on the ramp to the chorus of boos. With his usual unibrow in all it's glory on his face, he climbs in the ring, ready for the match up)

Match One-Intercontinental Championship Tournament-Round One

Santino VS Val Venis

Recap

This match surprisingly has been dominated by Santino. An early mistake by Venis, allowed Santino to drop him over the top rope, catching his throat. Santino has showcased a relentless attack since gaining a few near falls. Unexpectly Santino perches a groggy Val Venis on the top turnbuckle for an attempt of what looked like a superplex off the top but Venis countered with a couple of shots to the mid-section, gaining space before a head butt sent Santino crashing to the mat. Before Santino could recover, Venis came off the top with the "Money Shot" picking up the surprise win and advancing in the I-C tournament.

Winner in 12:11---Val Venis

(A dejected Santino can't believe he lost when he recovers and see Venis celebrating on the ramp. He grabs the mic as many fans are laughing at him after the embarrassing loss to the perennial jobber)



Santino: " You guys are laughing at Santino, aye. You think it's funny that Santino lost to the Big Lebowski. Well ya guys won't have Santino to laugh at anymore."



(Santino slams down the mic as the crowd starts chanting "Na Na Na, Hey, Hey Hey, Goodbye" as Santino runs up the ramp with his hands over his ears)



---COMMERCIAL BREAK----



(We come back from break and are backstage where we Santino on his cell phone talking to someone)



Santino:"Did ya you see what just happened to Santino? (pauses) Well does your offer still stand? (pauses) Santino just can't handle this anymore, they all laugh at me. (pauses, almost breaking down into tears) Can I come next week? (pauses) Okay, see you there."



(Santino pumps his arm in excitement as we head back to the ring, where we see the self-proclaimed "Wrestling God" John Bradshaw Layfield in the ring as the crowd is booing his presence)



JBL: "You all know who I am.(boos) You all know that I got screwed in this new era of the WWE. (boos). I was the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all-time and then they stripped me of the title with no warning. (cheers). Then because they said that I was too demanding and they didn't even let me in the tournament for my title but gave me a spot in the World Tag Team title tourney instead.(boos)"



JBL: "I know what you are thinking, who is great enough to be the partner of the "WRESTLING GODDDDD! But don't you worry because I found just the man. I found someone that got more screwed over then even JBL himself, someone that is so bitter that we will go through the other 3 teams in this tournament without breaking a sweat. I give you to you my new wrestling and business partner.....JEFF JARRETT!!



(The crowd is in shock as Jarrett comes to the ring with the his trusty guitar in hand. He shakes hands with JBL and grabs the mic)



Jarrett:" JBL, I couldn't have said it better myself. It's time for the WWE stars to face the power of "J&J Incorporated"."



(The two wait in the ring as Jillian announces the Colon Brothers as their opponents. Primo and Carlito are extremely happy to be here as they high-five many fans on their way to ringside. They climb in the ring and stare the new veteran team)

Match Two-Round One World Tag Team Tournament

J&J Incorporated VS The Colons

Recap

Early on the speed of Primo was something JBL had problems with as he kept the big Texan off balance with quick high flying moves. It all changed after a few moments when JBL caught Primo with a big boot and tagged in Jarrett. JBL and Jarrett used quick tags and double team maneuvers to isolate Primo from his brother as Carlito was eager to get into the action. Finally after the referee making Jarrett break an abdominal stretch after seeing JBL helping him with leverage did Primo get a chance to make the hot tag. Carlito quickly took control sending Jarrett reeling with a dropkick and knocking JBL off the apron with a big left hand. He quickly tried to end it with a Backstabber attempt but the veteran Jarrett held onto the ropes, resulting in Carlito crashing down. Jarrett quickly locked in the figure four. Carlito screamed out in pain as Jarrett used the ropes for added torque when the referee wasn't looking. Finally Primo tried to intervene but was caught with a "Clothesline from Hell" from a rampaging Layfield. With poor Primo knocked into La-La Land, Carlito had no choice but to finally tap out

Winners in 13:42 and advancing to the finals of the WWE World Tag Team Tournament

J&J Incorporated

(We go backstage to the GM's office where Kevin Nash is sitting down with Traci Brooks as they are looking over papers on the desk. You notice Nash trying to look down her shirt as she is sorting the papers. A knock on the door is heard and Shawn Michaels enters)



Nash:" My man, Shawn. It's been too long!"



(The two give each other a quick hug)



HBK: (looking over at Traci)" I see some things never change."



Nash: (raising his eyebrows):" Well have my own personal assistant is one of the perks of the job."



HBK: "Speaking off perks, I don't want to sound ungrateful for giving me the World Title shot tonight against Edge but I here alot of whispering in the back that the only reason I got this shot tonight was because of you. I don't want that, Kev."



Nash:" So when did you start caring about what people said about you, Shawn? But I have a question for ya, Who retired Ric Flair at Wrestlemaina 24? You did. Who beat Bret Hart in the greatest match of all-time in an Iron man Match up? You did. Who is the Showstopper, the Main Eventer, the Icon? You are. So if you are wondering, those are the reasons that you got the match up tonight, not because you are my friend.



(Michaels and Nash look at each other and shake hands. Michaels looks over at Traci)



Michaels:" Don't get yourself into any trouble"



Nash: (laughing)"I don't even know what you mean."


----COMMERCIAL BREAK-----


(When we return, Jillian is in the ring as she announces Shawn Michaels, "Sexy Boy" blares thought the arena as the crowd goes completely nuts. The pyros go off as HBK does his signature pose and makes his way to ringside. The cheers quickly turn into boos as Edge is announced. The World Champion makes his way down the ramp with Angelina Love on his arm)

Main Event---World Heavyweight Title Match

Edge w/Angelina Love VS Shawn Michaels

Recap

The two men lay all on the line as HBK took control early. Michaels was one step ahead of Edge until interference by Love gave Edge the opening he needed. Edge seized the moment and threw Michaels to the outside, ramming his back into the steel steps. Michaels screamed in pain as the champ worked over the forever injured back of HBK. After a series of repeated backbreakers Edge got a near fall but slowly the crowd was trying to rally behind HBK. Michaels finally caught his second wind and came back. After hitting the a flying forearm, Michaels did his signature pop up and followed it with an inverted atomic drop and clothesline combination. He signaled to the crowd as he climbed to the top rope and came off and connected on the elbow drop. Michaels tuned up the band as the crowd was going crazy as a groggy Edge struggled to his feet. Michaels unleashed "Sweet Chin Music" but Edge ducked it and the foot of Michaels caught the referee square on the chin instead. As Michaels tried to revive the ref, Edge stood in the corner ready to strike. As Michaels turned around Edge came charging with a SPEAR but caught another SWEET CHIN MUSIC out of nowhere. With Edge out cold, Michaels turned his attention once again to the referee trying to revive him as Angelina Love jumped up on the apron and grabbed Shawn by his hair. Michaels broke her grip and pulled back his fist as the crowd cheered for him to hit her. As Michaels finally decided against he turned around and caught an RKO from Randy Orton, who came out of nowhere. Orton pulled Edge over Michaels unconscious body and rolled out of the ring and back into the crowd. Angelina Love's constant screeching finally revived the referee, who rolled over and made the three count.


Winner and still World Heavyweight Champion in 15:22

(The show starts with a dancing team of scantily dressed women led by the WWE's own Kelly Kelly in the ring. After the dance routine is ended, we see a video recap of what happened on the RAW show earlier. As we see the women leave the ring, the music of "The Shaman of Sexy" John Morrison plays. Morrison comes out and does his trademark slow-motion pose. On the way to ringside, he stops Kelly Kelly and whispers something in her ear. She blushes as Morrison smiles and watches her walk up the ramp before continuing to ringside. Morrison gets to ring as Jillian announces his opponent and the crowd goes wild for Matt Hardy. Hardy looks determined on his way to the ring and his way to the Intercontinental Title)

Match One-First Round, Intercontinental Title Tournament


John Morrison VS Matt Hardy

Recap

The opening bout on WAR was a solid match up as Hardy early on gave Morrison a wrestling lesson as he had a counter for all of John's moves. Hardy showed a newly found mean streak as he went to work on the shoulder of Morrison after a failed corkscrew to the outside sent John crashing to the arena floor. After hitting a "Side Effect", Matt almost got the fall but Morrison kicked out as the referee's hand was coming down for three. Hardy wasn't discouraged at all as the crowd rallied behind him, he celebrated with his fans as he waited for Morrison to get to his feet. Hardy locked Morrison in for "The Twist of Fate" and yelled to the crowd before sending Morrison to certain defeat. The brief second of hesitation gave Morrison the moment he was waiting for as he quickly countered ""The Twist of Fate" attempt into a small package to get the win.

Winner and moving on to face Val Venis in Round Two of the Intercontinental Tournament

John Morrison

(A visibly upset Matt Hardy is in the ring as he knows that he let the match slip away from him. He seems lost as he stares at the celebrating Morrison going up the ramp)



----COMMERCIAL BREAK----



(We return to the backstage area as a camera is following Ric Flair as he walks into General Manager's Kevin Nash's office. We see Traci Brooks quickly getting off Nash's lap and turns her back as she buttons up her shirt)



Flair: "Whooaa, sorry big man didn't mean to interrupt but did you see what happened to Shawn Michaels earlier tonight."



Nash:"Yeah, I saw it but there really isn't anything I can do about it. I got to give the devil his due, Edge is a sneakier son of a bitch that I thought."



Flair:"I'm not here about Michael, I'm here about my man, "The Animal" Batista. You saw what Edge and Orton was planning on RAW earlier. Orton helped Edge keep the World Title so you know Edge is going to help Orton become WWE Champion. What are you going to do about it?"



(Nash looks like he is in deep thought when Traci whispers something in his ear. Nash smiles and slaps her on ass)



Nash: "Well my assistant here, Ms. Brooks just came up with a wonderful idea that I think you would like Naitch. How about tonight in the Fatal Four Way, Ric Flair being the Special Referee?"



Flair:"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!"



(Flair starts strutting around the office and grasp Brooks and gives her a big kiss)



Flair:"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT TOO!WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"



(Flair leaves the office as Nash laughs to himself as Brooks looks shocked in the corner)



Nash:"Only Naitch!" (shakes his head thinking about Ric as Traci in the corner starts unbuttoning her blouse) " Whoaa we don't have time for that right now we gotta go too ringside, We have that special announcement to make."



(Traci looks disappointed as she re-buttons her shirt and Nash and Brooks head out on their way to the ring as we head to commercial)



---COMMERCIAL BREAK----



(We come back from break and nine cruiser weights are in the ring awaiting for the Cruiser weight Title Battle Royal when GM Kevin Nash and his assistant Ms.Brooks appear on the ramp)



Nash: "Before we can get this shin-dig underway, I have an announcement to make. I said at the beginning of tonight's festivities that I will give the people what they want."



(Crowd pops as Nash hands the mic over to Traci)



Traci: "Tonight when you entered the arena, we had men giving out tickets to selective gentleman. Men that fitted the cruiser weight criteria and looked in good physical shape. We have selected one ticket of a fans to be the 10th participant in tonight's Cruiser weight Title Battle Royal. So the holder of ticket number #1233, tonight is your night to be a WWE superstar."



(The crowd goes wild as a man jumps up and high-fives people in the second level, security finds him and escorts him to the entrance ramp where he shakes hands with Nash and Brooks)



Nash (sizing the young blond head man up): Well, you look like you are in good shape and your are well under the 225 pound limit. So my man, what's your name?"



Fanstuttering): "Mmmmmy nnnname is Jack .....Jack Evans."



(He starts jumping up and down as the crowd is cheering wildly)



Nash: "Well, Jack....Jack Evans get in that ring and make me proud."



(Nash and Brooks leave the entrance ramp as Evans runs to the ring eagerly ready for his chance at stardom)

Match Two-Cruiserweight Title Battle Royal

AJ Styles, Bryan Danielson, Colt Cabana, Kofi Kingston, Jamie Noble, The Brian Kendrick, Teddy Hart, Evan Bourne,Hurricane Helms and Jack Evans

Recap

As soon as Evans enters the ring the bell sounds and Jamie Noble charges him, ready to greet the fan WWE-style but Evans sidesteps the Noble charge and catches him with a textbook enzuguri sending Noble over the top rope. The other 8 wrestlers stop and laugh at Noble, who is irate the he just got made a fool by a fan.

Elimination 1# Jamie Noble at the 8 second mark

As Evans and Noble jawed with each other, The Brian Kendrick saw an opening and ran at Evans from behind but at the last moment, Evans got a glimpse of Brian and backdropped him over the top for the elimination.

Elimination 2# The Brian Kendrick at the 26 second mark

Across the ring we see Colt Cabana on the top rope ready to splash on what looks like Evan Bourne laid out on the mat but before Cabana can leap off, Kofi Kingston comes charging across the ring and jumps up on the turnbuckles and catches him with kick to the face knocking Cabana off the top rope but onto the apron. Kingston doesn't see this as Cabana somehow gets up and starts to enter through the ropes when he gets caught by a baseball slide from AJ Styles that takes him to the floor for the elimination.

Elimination 3# Colt Cabana at the 48 second mark

Over the next few minutes the action and the eliminations slow down as the remaining seven try to wear down each other before trying to put someone over the ropes. Finally looks like Evan Bourne and Kofi is teaming up struggling to take the Hurricane over the top while he holds on for dear life. As Helms is almost completely out he grabs a hold of the bottom rope as Kofi and Evan try one more great push to cause Helms to let go of his grip when out of nowhere, they are hit from behind by a double clothesline by Teddy Hart causing the elimination of all three men.

Elimination 4#, Hurricane Helms at the 3:33 mark

Elimination 5# Evan Bourne at the 3:34 mark

Elimination 6# Kofi Kingston at the 3:35 mark

Teddy Hart, Bryan Danielson, AJ Styles and the instant fan favorite, Jack Evans remained in the ring as Styles hooked with "The American Dragon" and Teddy Hart catches Evans with a knee in the corner. Times ticks on as Danielson peppers Styles with a series of chops and kicks while Evans has the upper hand on Hart, hitting a DDT. Danielson whips Styles in the ring but Styles counters with the "Pele" out of nowhere that staggers Danielson against the ropes. Styles though is too drained to follow up but before Danielson can shake it off, he catches a textbook dropkick to the mouth by Evans sending him over the top.

Elimination 7# Bryan Danielson at the 7:27 mark

The crowd are on their feet as Evans has came out of nowhere and now has a real shot at becoming champion. Styles and Evans decides to team up on Hart as they work him over the corner with a series of boots to his stomach. As Hart slumps almost unconscious, Styles turns and hits Evans with a right hand to the chin sending Evans to the mat. As Evans gets up , he gets caught by a kick to the stomach and then gets caught with "The Styles Clash". Evans is laid out as Styles looks over at the still groggy Hart and pulls Evans up and drags him across the ring trying to put him over the top. At the last second, as Styles has Evans almost completely over,Evans comes to life and works his legs up and gets AJ head into a leg scissors. AJ tries desperately to push Evans over but finds him getting pulled over the top himself. As they struggle to eliminate each other, Teddy regains his composure and sees the opening. He comes sling shotting of the ropes and performs a cross body on the two tangled up in the ropes. But Hart misjudges his height and all of three men go over the top. They all three land in a jumble mass as referees don't know who the winner is. Finally a referee raises the hands of Jack Evans and the crowd goes wild. Hart and Styles is furious and starts pleading both their cases when another referee points to the Titan Tron which is showing the replay of the move. After watching the replay and a brief the conference the four referees make their decision.

Winner and new WWE Cruiser-weight Champion

Teddy Hart at the 12:55 mark

(We see the referees hand the belt to the shocked Teddy Hart, who holds it up over his head as Jack Evans and the crowd are in disbelief by the referee's reversal. Evans goes to offer a hand shake to Hart showing good sportsmanship but Hart slaps it away in disgust and walks up the ramp to a chorus of boos)



---COMMERCIAL BREAK---



(We come back from commercial and see Ric Flair and Batista huddled together backstage when Edge and Angelina Love walks away carrying bags. As they go by Flair and Batista stops them)



Flair: "Where are you going Champ? Do you think we are stupid?"



Edge: (laughing) " What Ric? Do I think you are stupid? No, I don't but him (points at Batista), he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, if you know what I mean?"



(Edge mocks Batista size as Flair holds Batista back)



Batista: (raging)" Don't think for a moment we believe that you are leaving for the night. Everybody knows about your deal with Orton earlier.?"



Edge: "Is that so, Dave. I have a piece of advice for ya, you shouldn't worry so much about me, big guy."



(Edge smirks at him and Angelina walk off as Flair holds back Batista once again from attacking)



(We go to the ring as we see Robert Roode standing in the ring in his wrestling gear with mic in one hand and a briefcase in the other)



Roode: "Hello, everybody my name is Robert Roode."

(boos)



Roode: In my short stint here in the WWE, I have been overlooked. So since there is a new man in charge, I've decided to make my name known to all."



Roode: "So earlier I was impressed by seeing a fan come of the crowd and almost win the WWE Cruiser-weight title earlier, so that gave me an inspiration. I'm going to issue a challenge to anybody here in the arena to come in and face me one on one and if somehow I'm pinned they are going to win this..."



(Roode opens the briefcase and reveals that it is full of money)



Roode: "That's right 100 thousand dollars up for grabs! But I look out in this crowd and see nobody with a chance to win it. "



(Roode rolls out of the ring and goes around checking out the ringside fans when someone catches his eye)



Roode: "Look right here all you Buckeye fans, it is no other then your All-American linebacker, James Laurinaitis. What do you think James, do you want a crack at this money."



(Roode opens the briefcase again as the crowd is chanting for James to take on the challenge but James isn't biting as Roode returns to the ring)



Roode: "I'm not surprised in the least, I know his father, the supposed legend Road Warrior Animal and let's say James is acting just like him and that is being a COWARD!"



(The crowd boos as the camera shows the face of Laurinaitis has changed as he leaps over the guardrail and enters the ring)

$100,000 Roode Challenge

Robert Roode VS James Laurinaitis

Recap

As soon as James slid on the rope he was caught by a vicious elbow. Roode pounded away unmercifully on the Buckeye football legend as the crowd was giving him the loudest heat of the night. Roode hit Laurinaitis with a European uppercut and shot him into the ropes. James came off the ropes and delivered a devastating spear and followed with wicked punches to the head of Roode as he tried desperately to block the attack. Finally the ref, pulls James off for using closed fists and Roode rolls to the outside. He goes over and grabs the briefcase and walks up the ramp. A furious Laurinaitis charges after him but when he reaches Roode, he catches the briefcase to the face. Laurinaitis falls in a heap as Roode laughs over him. He picks up the All-American linebacker and sets him for the new "Roode Awakening" as the crowd boos in disbelief. All of a sudden the crowd pops as we see too men run down on the entrance ramp and we see it's Shelton Benjamin and Jake Hager. Roode releases Laurinaitis and jumps off the ramp and escapes to the backstage area. Shelton and Jake check on Laurinaitis, as James shake it off, the two raises his arm in victory. The three All-Americans stand proud to the mighty roar of the arena filled with Buckeye fans.

Winner-No Contest in 6:22

(We go backstage and see Jeff Hardy getting ready in the locker room when his brother, Matt walks in)


Jeff: "Hey man, I saw your match earlier, are you alright, That was a tough loss?"



Matt:"Aren't you the master of the obvious huh. Of course it was tough, I had Morrison beat but for some reason it slipped right out of my hands."



Jeff: "Don't worry bro, you will get him next time. You had him beat, you just need to follow through next time. I would like to stay here and talk about it but my match is next"



Matt: "Yeah, I'm okay, don't worry about. Go out there and bring the WWE Championship home."



(The two brothers hug as Matt stares at Jeff as he leaves. When Jeff shuts the door, Matt punches the locker, leaving a might dent before someone else knocks and comes in and we see CM Punk)



Punk: "Everything alright Matt?"



Matt: "If you were looking for Jeff, he just left?"



Punk:"Well, actually I was coming to talk to you."



(Matt heads pops up as Punk sits down next him as we go to commercial break)



----COMMERCIAL BREAK----



(We come back as Jillian is ready for the main event. They all make the way to the rings as the crowd gives good pops to Batista, Punk and Hardy as well as solid heat to Orton. The four man stare each other down as Flair calls for the bell)

Main Event for the WWE Heavyweight Title

Recap

Many fans thought Orton will be at a severe disadvantage, facing three crowd favorites as well as Flair being the referee but they were shocked as Punk went after Hardy instead. As Punk controlled Hardy, Orton caught Batista a DDT taking control. The two seemed in sync as Punk and Orton double clotheslined Batista over the top and turned their attention to Hardy. Hardy was viciously double-teamed until the Punk and Orton argued over a pin attempt after a double suplex. Hardy took advantage as he took Punk over with a cross body splash, spilling both out of the ring. Orton looked on at the two and turned around right into a Spine buster by Batista. The crowd went wild but Orton kicked out at two and a half. Batista was on a roll now as he threw Orton around the ring like a rag doll as Hardy and Punk fought on the outside. Things between the two got really intense after Hardy did a suicide dive off the ring steps and took both of them over the guardrail and into the the crowd. The crowd goes crazy as the two fight up the stands, leaving Batista and Orton alone in the ring. Batista whips Orton into the ropes and catches him with a bone shattering spear and signals for the Batista Bomb. He waits patiently as Orton gets to his feet and pulls him into position as the crowd and Flair goes crazy. Before he can cinch it in, Batista falls to the ground unexpectedly as we Flair on his knees as he just delivered a low blow to Dave. Orton pounces on Batista as Flair gives a fast 3 count.

Winner and WWE Heavyweight Champion in 10:11

Randy Orton

(The crowd and Batista is in total shock as Flair hands the belt to Orton and the two hug. Music hits and on the ramp we see Edge and Angelina Love appear and applaud the two. Batista gets up and is frenzied as Flair and Orton escapes up the ramp. The foursome stare down at the betrayed "Animal" as Edge and Orton hold up their titles as we go off the air)

Monday Night RAW

I was a tad confused with this whole double show thing. So first, let me get this straight, RAW is at 9PM and then at 10PM it's WAR which is rated MA? If so, why not just make the entire show MA and that way you can allow it to really have anything in it. I was really confused with that.

The opening promo was pretty good and had a bit of a shock with Kevin Nash being announced as the General Manager when I really didn't expect it. He started well, making a potentially great match in Michaels/Edge. Edge/Angelina seems a little weird.

The Venis/Santino match was surprising seeing as Venis won. However, I'd like Santino to be pushed as a serious competitor; I'm going to be doing that in my BTB. The match seemed alright but is definitely not capable of being anything amazing so you did a decent job of it.

JBL's promo announcing Jeff Jarrett seemed a bit out of character, it just didn't seem to be like him. Jarrett being his partner was weird, I just think they're both too old. The match was alright, however, the finish didn't really put over J&J as heels that well with Primo interfering. I would've had JBL interfere or Jarrett to make it a dirtier finish.

The Michaels/Nash promo seemed a little pointless. It didn't seem to have much of a point to it and could easily have been skipped.

Michaels/Edge seemed like it would've been a good match and the dirty finish seemed right. I'd love to see these two feud and put on some great matches. Michaels nailing Sweet Chin Music for the win would have also been something I would have liked to have seen but that's just because he's my favorite.

Monday Night WAR

WAR starts off with what would've been a good match, Hardy and Morrison. To be honest, I would've liked Morrison to nail the Moonlight Drive on Hardy for the win or have him lose and go on to bigger and better things; that last scenario is my dreams to be honest.. Anyway, the promo afterwards was decent but again, it didn't seem to have much need. You need to work on making them more meaningful.

Jack Evans coming out of the audience and competing, this made me think he'd win but the ending of this match was interesting. The action throughout was pretty good and I do kind of like Teddy Hart so it'll be interesting to see how you use him as Cruiserweight Champion.

The Roode promo seemed a bit generic and I'm guessing you made the match to get him over as a heel by beating up a hometown athlete. I guess it worked.

A Hardy heel turn is in the works. After this promo I'm calling it now.

The Main Event was pretty good and eventful considering the ending. Orton becoming WWE Champion is good but becoming a bit of a trend around here, however, it's your thread. Is there an Orton/Edge/Flair alliance going on here?

This was a pretty good show. I've read better but it was pretty decent, I'll continue reading.

 

[seX-Power]

First of all, the formatting for both shows is off. I don't mind matches in quotes, but the promos size was too big and the font is bad. I'm also not too sure about having the two shows on the same night and I think it eliminates the point of two shows, although the MA rating for WAR is a nice touch, hopefully we get to see some attitude. Anyway, here goes...

RAW Review:

Shane's promo is generic, but it builds up to announcing Nash as GM and I have mixed feelings on this, I'll have to see how it pans out. Nash is also pretty generic but when Edge comes out it gets a little better, although still nothing ground-breaking. Nice match made and I must comment that Edge with Angelina is epic, and so is Nash's comment about her.

Edge and Orton backstage is intriguing and we may see Rated RKO return, something I'm cool with. It's Lilian Garcia btw. Anyway, the match here is very average and Venis winning sucks, he should just be a jobber. A 12 minute match between these two would be very bad and I would not want to see it at all. Oh well, maybe Venis can be made to look formidable in this thread. Hye wait, Santino left, to posibly go to retire or go to WAR. Meh.

After the break, I think that it may as well be confirmed Santino is going to WAR. The next promo with JBL and Jarrett is alright and it did a good job of showcasing Bradshaw's heel side. The match that followed put the team over nicely and I think I'm gonna like these two working together.

Michaels and Nash backstage is an interesting little promo and what I think Shawn meant about trouble is Rated RKO coming to get the GM. The main event follows and Rated RKO look like they're gonna do big things in this BTB, but the attack was predictable, you should have planted seeds, not made it basically anticipated with previous segments.

WAR Review:

WAR starts off showing why it's in the higher timeslot with the scantily clad divas, which is cool. Morrison beating Hardy in that fashion could start an interesting angle of having Hardy on a losing streak, possibly leading to turning on the crowd with a heel turn. Morrison getting pushed is also a good thing, and he better beat Val Venis.

Nash backstage with Flair is another good promo and it plants some seeds as to what could happen in the main event. Rofl at Traci during this entire thing as well. Wow, Jack Evans being a planted fan seems a little cheap, but it's a good angle that could set up him winning. Anyway, the match is little good and had some nice spots as battle royales always do, but Teddy Hart winning was shocking after the angle you had with Evans. I'll see where you go with this, it could be good.

The Edge/Batista/Flair thing backstage was a little shady, I don't really see what it accomplished. Roode's promo is pretty good and this $100000 angle could be alright, but I unless you're introducing Laurinaitis into the BTB, I don't see the point. Shelton and Hager interfering is just weird, I don't know what to say so far about this.

Matt Hardy's backstage thing was a little heelish and this could be the start of the heel turn I mentioned. CM Punk getting involved, where could this lead? So Punk went after Jeff, which means we may see a heel Punk/Matt faction. Awesome. Anyway, the main event is solid but ends in a shocking fashion with Flair turning on Batista and siding with Rated RKO. This could be a good faction. Rated RKWooooo! Lol.


Solid shows, but not the best I've seen. Yet to find any major faults but there was just something about it that held it back. Idk what it is though. Even so, a good read.

DIVAS live from "THE DIVA CLUB" (formely the Impact Zone) in Orlando, Florida

(Recap of show)


The show opened with the DIVAS General Manager, Vickie Guerrero, coming out and doing her usual insults to the crowd, receiving tremondous heat in the process. She says that she will prove everybody wrong and that DIVAS will become the number one wrestling show in the world under her leadership. She announces that in the next month, they will hold a DIVA World Title Tournament where 16 of the best women wrestlers in the world will compete to become the first ever DIVAS World Champion. After the crowd suprisingly gives her some cheers, she then announces the women that she expects to lead DIVAS into the future and the music hits an AWESOME KONG appears. Vickie goes on to sing her praises as the most dominant woman wrestler ever until music hit and the crowd goes wild and LITA comes out. Lita makes her way to the ring and starts to run down on both Vickie and Kong until music hits and the crowd really erupts and Trish Stratus appears and makes her way to ringside. After all three has said their parts, everybody was cheering for it become physical but Vickie squashed the situtation by getting Kong out of the ring before anything happened. Lita and Trish gave each other a stare down as they went to commercial.

Match One-Beth Phoenix VS Taylor Wilde

(Wilde gets in some offense but falls pretty easily to the Glamazon's Glam Slam)

Winner-Beth Phoenix

(After the match, we saw a video package of newcomer MsChief before the break).


Coming back from commerical we saw Vickie in her office with Kong and announced that tonight she has a special match for Kong's first round bout. This will truly show everyone who the most dominant women wrestler is.

Match Two-Mickie James VS Melina

(A back and forth matchup against former WWE Women's World Champions saw Mickie James catch Melina in a surprise small package for the win)

Winner-Mickie James

(After the match a video package of ODB and her step-sister Mickie Knuckles is shown from a trailer park)

Match Three-Lita VS Roxxi

The crowd roared with the retun of Lita and she didn't disappoint, hitting a Swanton to pick up the win. Afterwards in a sign of repsect Roxxi shook the hand of Lita as they left the ring together)

Winner-Lita

[/quote}

(Video package is shown of the "Dark Angel" Sarah Stock in action from Mexico)

Main Event

Awesome Kong VS The Bella Twins

The twins gave Kong a hard time in the beginning until a Kong backhand knock Brie out of the ring and left Nikki alone to catch an Awesome Bomb.

Winner-Awesome Kong

After the match, Brie tried to help her sister but got an Awesome Bomb for her trouble. Vickie cam out and egged Awesome Kong on to continue the attack until Trish caming running out for the save. Trish quickly backed up Kong with forearms shots and finally knocking her down as she landed a flying forearm. Vickie was screaming as Trish and the Bellas look determined to teach Kong a lesson. Before they could get to Kong though, out of nowhere they were attacked by a return of former Women's Champion, Jazz. After the Jazz's blindisde, Kong and her started the beatdown once again. A chair was thrown in by Vickie as they looked to take out Trish once and for all until Lita comes running out for the save. As Lita comes charging, she runs right into a chair shot by Jazz though. Lita and Trish were both in trouble as Jazz and Kong both now had chairs and was looking to do some serious damage but before they could the lights in the DIVAS CLUB went out and when they turned back on CHYNA!!! was in the ring and looking better then ever physically. Chyna stared down both Kong and Jazz as Vickie ordered them out of the ring. As Lita and Trish tried to thank her, Chyna turned her back and left the ring without saying a word to anybody.

​

(If this is the first time reading one of my shows, this is just a way to get DIVAS in without spending much time on it so I can concentrate on RAW and Nitro)

 

[seX-Power]

Well I'll give a review for this as I like Divas and hopefully DIVAS as well.

Vickie as GM is a good choice, it allows her to get her heat without disrupting a main show. The opener with Kong looks like she will be managed by Vickie, something I'm cool with. Trish and Lita both returning is awesome and the main event scene looks pretty cool here.

Beth Phoenix squash puts her over but she doesn't really need it, and I think a feud with Kong could be good for Phoenix. Backstage promo is also meh as is Mickie v Melina though I wish Melina would have been able to pick up the win. Lita v Roxxi is good to put Lita over on her return. Video packages with ODB/Knuckles and Sarah Stock have me mildly interested.

Anyway, we get to the main event and it's a squash match! Not really good booking here and I hope it wasn't a total squash with the Bellas. Vickie geting involved in the match solidifies her as Kong's manager, but I don't know whether she'd be so active in the match. Trish running in is good and Jazz debuting is rather random but I think she's black and muscly like Kong so they could make a good alliance. Lita running out is expected but Chyna coming out as a tweener and making an impact is a nice touch and lets us know she is a dominant force with no allies.

Meh show, I'd enjoy it with some more detail but you have some good things like a lot of returns and the Vickie/Kong/Jazz alliance you seem to have built.

 

[-TJ-]

I like your concept for the shows. I will review Divas.

It's kinda hard to review. Maybe a bit more match writing may of done this show better. The main event being a squash doesn't help. It was a meh, maybe if the post match wasn't bigger or more detailed then the actual match it might have been better. There is no need to rate this, because obviously this is just a filler show in my mind. I'll be sure to review your next show.

 

[LAURINAITIS33]

Yeah, DIVAS is a filler show and I have found a guy to write now instead of me treating it like I just did on the last show. It was kind of a last second setup as I thought it would be better then just saying all the women wrestler's got fired lol. Hopefully it will end doing well.

I'm going to get a round of reviews going for people starting tomorrow.

 

[-TJ-]

^That's always a positive. I just don't like writing Divas matches. Doesn't appeal to me, but when i see a divas match that just has the winner, it also doesn't help. Actually seeing the matches somewhat wrote out actually helps.

WCW Nitro live from The Staples Center in Los Angeles, California​

(The arena is packed as the return of WCW under the direction of Stephanie McMahon-Helmmsley looks to be a success. The re-birth of the WCW company has sparked the interest in fans worldwide and they are tuned into Spike TV to see what is going to happen as the camera swirls around the arena and we see the new owner, Stephanie ready to address the wrestling world)



Stephanie: (smiling) "I can't believe I'm going to say this but......EVERBODY WELCOME TO WCW NITRO!!!"



(The crowd erupts as fans have been waiting along time for this)



Stephanie:"I have to admit after my dad made the decision to give my brother, Shane the WWE, I was very upset. I know that I'm the better business person and that the WWE should rightfully be mine but instead my father stuck me with the failure that was WCW."


(The crowd boos)


Stephanie:"But then I came to the realization, that is really a blessing. I don't have to live up to the reputation of my father, Vincent Kennedy McMahon. I won't be judged against the way he would have done things. In WCW, I'm free to make my own mark, to run a wrestling company the way I see fit. I'm going to promise all you fans that WCW WON"T FAIL AGAIN."


(The crowd erupts again)


Stephanie:" To help me on my mission, I have went and hired two of the best wrestling minds in the world. These two men will run Nitro and Xplosion as their respective General Managers. I want to introduce to you all, the General Manager of Friday Night Nitro.......MR..ERIC
BISCHOFF!"


(The crowd is in shock as they give a mixed reaction to Bischoff as he appears once again on a WCW show. Bischoff looks as he feeds off the crowd boos and cheers as he walks down the ramp and into the ring with WCW owner Stephanie.

Bischoff:"I"M BACK BABY!!!!"


(The crowd gives a loud mixed reaction)


Bischoff:" I know a lot of people are surprised to see Eric Bischoff back in a wrestling ring and let me tell you I'm surprised myself. I was done with wrestling and happy with my new life producing television shows until Steph called."


(/ He rubs his gray goatee as he tries to think of the right words to say)


Bischoff:" I know there is some people at home thinking that is the biggest mistake Stephanie could make. I mean, people say that I was the one responsible of running WCW out of business in the first place. That is all true. I made some bad decisions that ultimately caused WCW to close their doors."



(The arena is silent as Bischoff is coming clean before their eyes)



Bischoff:" But what people tend to forget, is that I beat the WWE for over a year in ratings. Nobody has done it before I did and nobody has done it since. There isn't a person alive that can say they beat Vince McMahon in the wrestling biz except me. That is what Stephanie hired to run Nitro and trust me I'm up for the job."


Bischoff: "But Stephanie has put in a safety plan if I don't work out by only giving one of the WCW shows. She has given the Xplosion program to someone that identity is still is a mystery to you and me. But I have been able to be in touch with the person via text messages and we have agreed to a setup to crown all WCW Champions here tonight. Please if you will bring it out."


(The crowd goes wild as Candice Michelle and Layla wheels out a cart with 6 briefcases on it. They do a fine impersonation of Barker's Beauties as they showcase the cases to the crowd)


Bischoff:" In those six cases their is 5 title belts, the WCW Television Title, the WCW United States Title, two separated WCW World Tag Team Titles, and the WCW Heavyweight Title. If that wasn't enough the sixth case has inside a contract for a shot against the World Heavyweight Champion, Edge at The Great American Bash, four weeks away."


(The crowd erupts as they are in store for one hell of a show)



Bischoff:" Each case will be up for grabs in matches with five wrestlers. Each match will have their own unique twist with the winner getting to choose one of the cases. I promise to all you fans that TONIGHT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY WILL NEVER FORGET!"




(The crowd erupts as Bischoff leaves the ring, blowing kisses to the capacity crowd as we go to commercial)


---COMMERCIAL BREAK-----


(We come back from break as we Stephanie walking around as it looks like she is getting ready to leave already when her husband, Triple H appears)


HHH:" I still don't know about this Steph. Are you sure we can trust Bischofff. This is our life we are putting his hands. I mean if he blows this, we are left with nothing."


Stephanie:" Don't worry, did you see him out there. The people ate it up. I mean he has this eating away at him for years now and now that he has the chance to make up for his failures, I don't think anybody can stop him, But don't forget we have the insurance plan just in case Eric doesn't work out."



HHH:" I don't know about him either but we will talk about that later at the hotel. Tell the kids, I love them."


(Hunter gives Stephanie a kiss as she gets in the limo and drives away. He turns around and the crowd erupts as he is standing nose to nose with Bischoff himself)


Bischoff:" Hello, Hunter."


(Hunter flares his nostrils)


Bischoff:" I know you are not my biggest fan but let me assure you that I won't let you down. I will do my best to make WCW the success it should be."


(Bischoff extends his hand for a handshake but HHH looks at it and walks away. He leaves Bischoff with a disappointed looks on his face as we head back to the ring)





(In the ring, Tony Chimel is ready to announce the five participants in the first match up for a shot at picking out a briefcase. The crowd erupts as Chimel announces that it will be a NO-DQ match up and the music of John Cena blares through the arena.)


(Cena comes out and high-fives the crowd on his way to the ring. From the reaction of the crowd WCW couldn't have started off any better with Cena being in the first match up. Cena throws his cap and shirt into the crowd as he is ready to see who the other four wrestlers are)


( Music hits as the crowd is waiting to see who comes out and they boos as the 7 footer Matt Morgan appears. He points down at Cena as he makes his way to the ring as he looks ready to make a name for himself. He gets in the ring as they size each other up)


(Music hits a hood figure appears on the ramp, the man pulls down the hood of his jacket to reveal himself as "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels. The crowd cheers as a stoic Daniels make his way to the ring. Once in the ring he puts his hands together and prays before staring down Cena and Morgan)


(The crowd erupts as "619" hits the speakers and Mysterio comes popping up from below the ramp. The pyros go off as the crowd favorite, Rey makes his way to the ring. He pulls off the cover of his mask and puts it on a young child at ringside. On his way around ringside he shakes hands with Tito Ortiz, who is one of the celebrities that has shown up for the debut show. Rey jumps into the ring and looks ready for action)


(The final music hits as the crowd erupts again as Samoa Joe appears on the ramp. His trademark towel around his neck. Joe stalks down the ring ramp on a mission. He climbs in the ring and goes right after Morgan with a series of punches as the referee calls for the bell)

Match One of the Briefcase Challenge

John Cena VS Matt Morgan VS Christopher Daniels VS Rey Mysterio Jr. VS Samoa Joe

Summary


The match starts off with Joe assaulting Morgan and sending him to the outside with a clothesline. Morgan then lands on his feet but is shocked as Daniels goes flying over the top, causing Morgan to go crashing until the steel barricade. As Daniels gets up he gets hit as Mysterio does the same move taking him out. The crowd goes wild as Joe and Cena stare down each other before going at it in the ring.

After about five minutes into the match up the scene has changed as Morgan has gained control as he floors everybody with a combination of clotheslines and boots. He roars to the crowd as he military presses Daniels and throws him over the top to the floor. While Cena and Joe is shaking off cobwebs, Rey tries to take out Morgan with a dropkick but Matt shakes it off. He tells Rey to bring it as Rey comes off the rope and tries a flying cross body. Morgan though catches Rey and holds him like a baby. He shows off his strength by pressing Mysterio over his head and throwing him on the outside with Rey landing beside a still fallen Daniels.

After a couple of minutes, Morgan is feeling the wrath of Joe and Cena as they have rebounded and are working as a team against the monster. On the outside the fans are shocked as Daniels and Rey started fighting with each other after the regained their strength after their falls. Mysterio jumps up and grabs Daniels by the head and drives him face first into the steel ramp. He runs up the ramp looking to create distance for some sort of move when two men appear from the back and attack Rey from behind. The two men start putting the boots to Rey after knocking him down, Daniels comes running over as the crowd cheers. But instead of helping Rey, Christopher joins in on the attack. He orders the two men to pick Rey up as he hooks up Mysterio for the "Angel Wings" but before he can deliver it the crowd erupts as Homicide and Hernandez appear from the back to save Mysterio. They knock down the two men and Homicide starts to fight with Daniels. Soon Rey is up and the six men fight their way up the ramp and into the backstage area.


With Rey and Daniels now more less out of the match, Joe and Cena work together on Morgan. Cena whips Morgan into the corner as Joe follows in with a jumping knee shot to the face. As Morgan staggers out, Cena scoops him on his shoulder and hits "The Attitude Adjustment" but before he can go for the pin, Joe cinches in the Coquina Clutch on Cena from behind. As the crowd boos, Joe slowly chokes out Cena who won't tap out. The referee checks the arm of Cena and it falls for the third time to the shock of the crowd. Joe stands up as the referee raises his hand in victory.


Winner of the match and the first briefcase

Samoa Joe

(The crowd is in shock as Cena is on the mat still feeling the effects of the Coquina Clutch as Joe stands over him. Joe helps Cena up to the roar of the crowd as they stare at each other. Cena looks upset with picking up the loss and turns to leave. The crowd boos as Cena leaves the ring and Joe standing there. Joe's face changes as before Cena can leave he attacks John from behind, knocking him to the floor. He rocks Cena with a series of right hands before picking him up and dropping him over the steel barricade, right on Cena's throat. As Cena gasps for airs, Joe climbs on top of him and delivers punches to the face busting Cena wide open. As Cena lays on the floor out of it, Joe comes over and wipes his towel in the blood of Cena. He shows the blood soaked towel to the booing crowd as he puts it around his neck. He stomps up the ramp as paramedics pass him on their way to check out Cena. He gets to cart as Candice runs out of his way as Joe grabs his briefcase and walks to the back)


(The crowd is stunned as paramedics work on Cena as we go to commercial)


-----COMMERCIAL BREAK------


(We come back from commercial, we see Layla with a mic and chasing down Joe down the hall)


Layla:"JOE....JOE ...wait up. (She runs up as Joe finally stops) A lot of people are wondering why you just did that too John Cena."


Joe:"You want to know why I did that to the John Cena. The fans want to know why I did that too John Cena. You all should know why. It is all of your's fault. For years I have been disrespected. People said that I came from a second rate company and was a second rate World Champion. Even after beating John Cena, clean in the middle ring, he disrespected me."


Layla:" I just think he was disappointed, Joe. It had nothing to do with you, personally."


Joe:"See everybody will make excuses for him but I looked into eyes and saw disgust. He was disgusted to lose to someone like me but Cena better get used to it because I'm not leaving. If John Cena has a problem with me and what I just did to them.. well Cena like you always say...IF U WANT SOME, COME GET SOME...! Now if you excuse me, I have to find Bischoff to unlock this thing so I can see what I just won."


(Joe storms off as Layla is left speechless as we head back to the ring)


(The camera goes back to ring as the next five wrestlers are already in the ring, as announcers Styles and Taz informs us that this match up is an elimination match where the man left will win the briefcase. We see The Miz, "Cowboy" James Storm, Mike Knox and two men we saw already earlier Homicide and one of the unknown men that attacked Rey who was announced as Tyler Black)

Match Two of the Briefcase Challenge


The Miz VS James Storm VS Mike Knox VS Homicide VS Tyler Black


Summary


The bell rings as Homicide and Black take up where the left off from earlier and attack each other. Storm finishes his beer as Knox stands in the middle in the ring sizing him and the Miz up. Knox decides to go after Storm but Miz attacks him from behind with a double axe-handle to back of the head. Knox isn't happy as the move has no effect on him. He growls at the Miz who runs through the ropes to the outside with Knox in hot pursuit. Storm drinks his beer in the corner watching the action as Knox sends Miz crashing into the steel steps head first, knocking him out. The referee runs over to stop Homicide from choking the life out of Black with the bottom rope as Knox rolls back into the ring. Storm shocks the crowd as he breaks the beer bottle over Knox's head. He kicks the broken glass out of the ring and drags Knox away from the ropes. He yells at the ref who runs over and counts to three.

Eliminated: Mike Knox by James Storm


Storms looks at The Miz still out at ringside and then goes to the outside himself and calls a vendor over and grabs another beer. He comes over to the announce table and grabs a headset and sits down beside Taz as he watches Homicide and Black fight it out in the ring.


The two fight each other tooth and nail as Storm watches from the outside. The two finally spill out to the outside and Homicide sends Black into the announcer's table spilling Storms's beer all over himself. An outraged Storm gets into the action as him and Homicide start exchanging blows as Black is down on the floor. The crowd is in confusion as Ashley Massaro runs down from backstage and checks on The Miz, who is still knocked out from the earlier Knox attack. The referee has no other choice but to start counting as Storm and Homicide still fight on the outside. The referee reaches ten as Ashley rolls The Miz back in.


Winner of the match and the second briefcase

The Miz

(Storm and Homicide stop fighting when they hear the announcement of The Miz winning. They are in shock as The Miz and Ashley walk up the ramp as Ashley holds up Mike's arm in triumph. She grabs a briefcase as she helps the still groggy, Miz to the back. Storm argues with the ref, who somehow forgot about counting The Miz out earlier as we go to commercial)

--COMMERCIAL BREAK-----


(We come back from commercial and we Samoa Joe in the office of Nitro GM Eric Bischoff)


Joe:"Alright, Eric, where is the key so I can open this and see what I won."


Eric:"Well, Joe you and every winner are just going to have to wait. See if there is one thing that I know, it is ratings. If I let you open that briefcase here tonight, what will the fans have to talk about all week. Next week is when you get to open the case. You'll just have to wait."


Joe:"Well, I guess I can wait,,,I can relish in the fact of the beat down I just gave John Cena. I'll see you next week."


(Joe leaves the office as Daniels, Black and the third man enters)


Daniels:"You wanted to see us?


Bischoff: " Yes, I did. I wanted to know...WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!"


(Daniels and the others are in shock as Bischoff is fuming)


Bischoff:"You have the guts to ruin the first match back for WCW with your attack on Rey Mysterio Jr. Trust me, Christopher Daniels, Tyler Black and what is your name? (He points to the third man, who sports a Mohawk)


Man:"It's Erick Stevens."


Bischoff:"Well Erick Stevens, I should fire all three of you on the spot but I won't. But if you three cross me again, in any way, I'll have no problem giving you guys your walking papers. Now get out of my sight[/color]



(The three men walk out of the office sheepishly after the tirade from the GM. We go back to the ring)


(We come back to the ring just to catch the sound of "Break the Walls Down" and Chris Jericho appearing from the back. He is met with boos as he walks to the ring and gets in where the other three wrestlers are. Hardcore Holly, William Regal and Tommy Dreamer don't look impressed by Jericho's cocky presence. Jericho laughs at the site of the three. He gets in the ring and awaits the final competitor. The crowd erupts as we hear a car crash and Mick Foley appears on the ramp. He has a barber wire baseball bat as Tony Chimel announces this as Hardcore Rules. The cockiness of Jericho is erased as Regal pulls out brass knocks, Dreamer retrieves the ken do stick he brought down and Holly grabs a steel chair. Everybody must have knew something that Jericho didn't as he looks truly worried, as we go to commercial)


----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Nitro Main Event-Third Match in the Briefcase Challenge--Hardcore Rules

Tommy Dreamer VS Hardcore Holly VS William Regal VS Mick Foley VS Chris Jericho


Summary


The match starts as the four armed wrestlers trade shots with each other's weapons as Jericho goes to the outside to search for one of his own. He climbs under the ring looking for anything he can use. In the ring, the crowd goes wild as Foley beats down Regal as he covers up protecting his face from the barbed wire bat, on the other side, Holly screams out as Dreamer hits his back with repeated shots from the ken do stick.


A few minutes go by and Jericho has finally decided on a sledge hammer as his weapon and climbs in the ring. He sees Foley choking out Holly in the corner with his leg and the crowd tries to warn Foley as Jericho rears back. Before he can take out Foley, Jericho is sent flying through the ropes from a brass knuckles shot by Regal. Regal then turns around and catches a spear from Dreamer as the two spills out to the floor also. The fight between the two spills into the crowd as Regal is sent into a police officer by a head butt from Dreamer. As Regal tries to get the officer to help him out, he unhooks his hand-cuffs off his belt. As the officer shoves Regal off of him, Dreamer tries to continue the attack but catches a shot to the face with the hand-cuffs as he tries to pull Regal up. Regal delivers a couple more shots and then drags Dreamer to the barricade and cuffs him to the steel and climbs back over, as he is ready to get in the ring, Jericho sneaks up behind him and delivers "The Codebreaker". Both Regal and Dreamer is more less out of the match as Jericho rolls back into the ring.


An expected alliance happened as Jericho and Holly end up teaming up against the "Hardcore Legend" but the alliance is short lived as after a Holly clothesline on Foley, Jericho struck once again with "The Codebreaker." But before the ref could count to three, Foley desperately broke it up with an elbow. Jericho and Foley started exchanging blows with Foley gaining the upper hand. He whipped Jericho into the ropes, knocking a recovered Regal off the apron as he tried to enter the ring again. Regal went crashing back into the barricades. Foley kicked Jericho and hit a Double Armed DDT but the fall was broken up by Hardcore Holly. Foley block another shot from Holly and connected with a DDT to him also. The crowd went wild as Foley pulled out Mr. Socko and shoved down the throat of Holly. As Holly gagged violently, Jericho came off the ropes and gave Foley a wicked kick to the head. Holly rolled out of the ring to shake off the taste of Mr. Socko as Jericho charged in on Foley.

Foley, with his back turned gained of a chair and crushed Jericho on the top of the head as he charged in. Foley measured him again and delivered another shot as Jericho tried to get up. Foley goes for the cover but before the referee can come over he is knocked out by a returned William Regal. Foley loses it as he grabs the barbed wire baseball and clotheslines Regal with it and sends him over the top. He turns around and connects on Hardcore Holly, who tries to sneak up from behind, with a shot to his head. Foley is going berserk as he hit himself with the bat, busting himself open. The crowd roars as Foley has gone mad.

But Foley doesn't know the crowd isn't roaring for him as he turns around and catches a SPEAR. Out of nowhere the World Heavyweight Champion, Edge, has shown up on Nitro. He pulls Jericho on top of Foley and revives the ref who makes the three count.


Winner of the match and the third briefcase

Chris Jericho

(As Jericho gains his senses, he sees Edge coming back down the ramp with a briefcase in hand. He rolls into the ring and offers it too Jericho, Chris hesitantly takes the briefcase and looks confusingly at Edge, who rolls out of the ring to the boos of the crowd)


(We go back to General Manager Eric Bischoff's office as his back is turned as he is throwing a fit about the outcome of his main event when you hear the office door slam shut)


[color="blue:"]Bischoff (screams) "THIS BETTER BE PRETTY IMPORTANT!!!!"[/color]


(Bischoff spins around in his chair as horror comes over his face)


Bischoff (stuttering" NNNNOOO, ITTTT CCCCAN'T BE YOU!"


(The camera twirls around the room and it shows PAUL HEYMAN!!! standing in the office)


Heymanlaughing)"YES, ERIC IT'S ME, PAUL HEYMAN, NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE, XPLOSION IS READY TO START!!!"


(Bischoff is stunned as he gets up and packs up his briefcase and walks out as Heyman sits down at the desk as Nitro goes off the air)

WCW Nitro Review

The show opens with a pretty decent match and judging by the talent it almost could have been the main event. At the end of this match you really put over Samoa Joe as a big-player heel; the attack on Cena as well as the whole blood-on-towel thing really shows he's a relentless massive heel. The action in the match flowed pretty nicely and the briefcase openings interest me as I wonder who could get what. The alliance of Christopher Daniels and the other two men is also intriguing.

The second match wasn't as great but still gave a purpose. The ending wasn't great and to me it looked like you fucked up and couldn't be fucked going back and fixing something so ended it awkwardly. The whole match was mediocre but gives Miz the briefcase and puts him over as a pussy heel.

The promo between Daniels and Bischoff is alright, pretty generic, just the 'Who the hell are you?!' sort of thing. Who is Erick Stevens? Am I not supposed to know that or is he an indy guy?

The hardcore main event showcased some good action and was actually a good main event with Jericho though, not in possession of a weapon picks up the sneaky win via Edge interfering. Where did Edge come from and why is he on WCW?

Mediocre show, nothing great and re: the title situation, what's the difference between the WCW Television Championship and the WCW United States Championship? Aren't they both midcard titles? Three shows a week is also a bit of a task or in your case in a way, it's about five as you have these two back-to-back one-hour slots of shows. This is more a 'starting off' show and is obviously not going to be the best as you haven't got storylines or angles developed so I'll give more advice as things unfold.

5/10

My WCW Nitro Review!

First of all, this whole situation with the TV shows confuses me. WWE and WCW are both run by Vince now but are competing against each other? And why are there 2 shows on one night for the WWE with 1 title each and the same GM and why are there 2 WCW shows? Sort some of these things out please.

Anyway, opening promo with Steph is good and Bischoff is the ideal GM, and he cut a solid promo on how good WCW was with him and how it will be better than the WWE. The match announcements are cool, and they could be good.

The HHH/Steph/Bischoff promo backstage didn't have much of a point imo.

The first 5 man match is quite unpredictable, but I was shocked you had Joe choke Cena out in that fashion, and done correctly it could be a good feud. The beat down was something done well too.

Nice intense Joe promo to follow as well, this could be really good.

The next match has Miz winning and his partnership with Ashley looks alright. The way in which the match was won was pretty confusing and you could have explained it better, or at least had someone else eliminated earlier.

The backstage promos with Bischoff, Joe, Daniels, Tyler and Erick are all pretty pointless but at least you grouped them together.

The next match with Hardcore Rules is good with Edge costing Foley the match, and it would be awesome if you had Jericho win the title shot after Edge helped him win the match. Why was Edge on Raw if he's on WCW though?

The last promo is good if not for the fact you made Bischoff sound like a 10 year old girl, but Heyman as Xplosion GM is pretty awesome, though I'm confused as to why there are two shows in the first place. Just have a 2 hour Raw and a 2 hour Nitro and forget WAR/Xplosion.


Alright show, the matches were good but lacked variety and the promos need more meaning, and there aren't really many feuds going on now.
