WWE After Wrestlemania XIX

Plankton coming back and revisiting and reviewing his own diary has reminded me of how much I enjoyed this Diary. It was my second Diary ever and my longest running and most successful one. The last boards ate the post so it's not on these boards I do not believe and I feel like I can continue that one and still put time into my Year of Foley diary. I Loved this diary for how I did make sure there were challengers for the World Title and IC Title and all the belts. I felt I did a very solid job though sometimes the writing needed some help but I felt the booking was pretty solid. Anyway I am going to recap problems and thoughts after each show. Mind you that the first two months were completely lost for the most part due to a collapse of boards long ago before I started saving them. So I didn't re-write those due to how long it had been since I had booked it.

If you want to judge this Diary. Do not on the first two months of recaps cause it gets better as we go cause of the fact I lost those shows and others are fully written.

The Kap Says This Diary Re-Begins Now!

Sunday Night Heat (April 6)

(This was back before I started doing RAW Brand Matches and Smackdown Brand Matches as a competition but merely just to get lower midcarders and under on TV)

Maven beat Chris Nowitski in a Tough Enough Matchup! (63%)

Video hyping Ken Shamrock's return to WWE (73%)

Nunzio beat up on Bill Demott via Chuck Palumbo and Johnny Stamboli! (61%)

Rico beat up on Spike Dudley with help from Rosey and Jamal (66%)

Video promoting the Bisch and a big announcement tommorrow night on RAW! (79%)

Bradshaw beat Kevin Nash clean but in a bad match (60%)

Tommy Dreamer beat Rodney Mack in a Hardcore Match to promote the Hardcore Championship 10 man over the top rope Battle Royale! (65%)

(This was the Worst Sunday Night Heat Show or Any Show in the Diary (55%)

I had to start here because of losing the first Smackdown completely so this is where the Diary originally began for the majority. It was the worst show I ever did ratings wise. I mean but who could think that would be the case with such great matches as Bradshaw beating Kevin Nash....What was I thinking :wacko:

RAW Rating: 78%

I Wanted Goldust to be a serious part of my promotion which is why he would get a victory over Batista. I wanted him out of the stuttering gimmick and into serious mode.

Here is a major booking mistake though when Christian beats Kane cleanly which would never really happen. It was a big mistake and I still regret that one but it was early on and I did need to get into the swing of things. I do like how I had RVD come in. I felt his feud with Rock would elevate him and Rock would benefit as well but I did not book this feud tremendously.

I Did feel Booker vs Chris Jericho was a very good main event choice and made for a strong finish to this RAW.

The Bischoff promo though is setting up what will come to be a very ill-fated match at Backlash between Eric Bischoff and Shane McMahon where Shane breaks his leg during the match. Made the match unwatchable because of the injury and the buildup and blow off was killed in that one injury.

Smackdown Rating: 73%

It becomes apparent at this point that Smackdown is the stacked show of the two. With the Guerreros, Benoit, Rhyno, Lesnar, Angle, Taker, Edge, Hardy, Mysterio. Tank Abbott was signed the week before to come in and make an impact by Shane McMahon...this was my WORST signing to date ever in any game. He was crap and did nothing for the promotion.

This was also the beginning of the Los Guerreros/Team Angle feud over the Belts which was one of my favorite feuds in this 13 Month Diary. I always thought it was very strong but in the beginning you can't tell due to the very brief recaps which was unavoidable so I will do my best in describing the thoughts and plans behind everything. I really never know why Taker and Lesnar were in a first round match for the new American Title. They needed to be on the show I guess but neither were so low as to be in that division.

Monday Night RAW

April 14, 2003

Raw's intro hits and begins playing it's video to all the TV viewers, as well as on the Titantron. Then it cuts to the arena where huge pyro begins going off on the stage as Raw sets to start for the night. Then Lance Storm's music hits and Lance as well as Chief Morley come out onto the stage. They walk down to the ring. Storm rolls under the bottom rope and Morley steps through the ropes but before they can do anything at all the Dudley Boyz music hits. D-Von and Bubba Ray don't come out though as Morley and Storm lean on the top rope watching the ramp way. From behind the time keeper's table over the barricade the Dudleyz come and grabs a table from under the ring and slide it into the ring. They both get in the ring and as Morley turns back towards where the Dudleyz are...3D! 3D Morley is out! Storm turns seeing it happen, He and D-Von begin to slug it out as Bubba sets the table up. Storm swings with a fist but D-Von ducks it and D-Von lifts Storm up and Bubba grabs him by the neck. Reverse 3D Through the Table!! The Dudleyz leave Storm/Morley completely out in the ring!

Jazz vs Trish Stratus

(WWE Women's Championship, Falls Count Anywhere Match)

This match is one of those hard hitting impact matches that Trish and Jazz had last year. This is a very good match for a Women's match which are normally not very good quality wrestling. Jazz hits a big spinebuster in the middle of the match getting a long two count. Trish hits a Chick-Kick for a long two count. Trish tries a Stratusfaction but Jazz ends up sending Trish crashing down onto a trash can that had been brought into the ring. Jazz then quickly locks in her STF and Trish has to tap out! Jazz's music hits and she raises her arms in the air as the Championship is handed to her. Good solid Match by the women as Raw goes to commercial break.

RVD hits several of his trademark kicks which is capped off with a Rolling Thunder and covers Dreamer..1..2...kicSuckt! RVD seems in control when The Rock comes running out onto the stage and running down to the ring. He slides under the bottom rope into the ring as the crowd is erupting in boos and cheers as Rock stances behind RVD. RVD turns around..ROCK BOTTOM! Rock lays RVD out and leaves the ring as Dreamer lays an arm over RVD. Not even noticing what had happened..1...2....3! Tommy Dreamer gets a big win to retain his Hardcore Championship. He rolls out of the ring and staggers to the backstage area. Rock sets up the chair in the ring as if to sit in it. He picks up RVD and whips him to the ropes..DROP TOE HOLD DOWN MASHING RVD'S FACE OFF THE CHAIR! The crowd gives one of those gasp pops as Rock talks trash to RVD as he kicks the mat in pain holding his face. Rock raises his arm in victory and then walks to the backstage area as RVD looks at Rock leaving his face bloodied up!!

The glass shatters with Stone Cold's music hitting as Stone Cold walks out onto the ramp and coming down to the ring. He does his four turnbuckles thing and then Triple H's Music blasts throughout the arena. He comes walking out onto the stage with Ric Flair and Batista behind him as the strobes go off. Batista and Triple H come to the ring and the match is underway. An awesome match ensues with Austin starting off early taking both Batista and Triple H down. Eventully HHH and Batista take control hitting several double team moves as this isn't a tag handicap match. The match begins to sway as Austin hits a stunner on Batista after he'd put HHH down with a spinebuster. He covers Batista after a slow crawl over to him and the count..1...2..HHH broke it up! HHH begins to overpower Austin and hits his Facebuster. HHH goes for his high knee but Austin ducks and Hebner catches it in the face going down. After that happens Booker T! Booker comes running down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. HHH turns and gets caught with a BOOK END! HHH is down! Austin picks HHH up and..STUNNER! Booker wakes Hebner up and pulls Batista out of the ring as the ref counts HHH down..1...2....3.! Austin wins! A hot main event as Austin stands up and does his usual celebration as Booker slides back in the ring. Triple H down in the ring and Batista on the outside looking on as Raw goes off the air!

Ok so here's the one show I randomly saved out of all the early shows. Don't ask me how or why it happened that way but it did. Now to start with I thought the first half of the show was solid but it went downhill. Now Steiner being beat by Hurricane was not a mistake. I was getting rid of Steiner soon and I wanted to push Hurricane to IC Title level which does happen later. Why did I have Austin walk into Kane's locker room?

Well quite honestly I wanted a swerve for the main event and didn't think of writing it better. I Chalk it up to still being new at writing. It was a bad booking decision and then Morley attacking Austin after the show was a HUGE MISTAKE and it wasn't because of why. I intended someone else to do that attack but booked it and went through the show and found out I had Morley do it instead of someone else. A mistake which I covered up but it never really made a whole lot of sense other than Bischoff not liking Austin.

Chris Benoit defeats a weakened Undertaker in quick fashion by forcing Taker to tap out! (77%)

Smackdown Rating: 75%

This was the beginning of the new generation of Smackdown stars getting pushed and the old ones getting phased out. Alot of Benoit, Edge, Hardy and Rhyno. Hardy and Edge was another of those feuds I felt was doing alot for both guys in the end and I thought I did that feud pretty well though people can tell me otherwise if they want.

Lesnar losing to Rhyno was to show that Lesnar can be beat and that he's not unstoppable. Also to push Rhyno cause I wanted him to become a challenger for the WWE Title at some point because I feel he's under-used and can be done so much better.

John Cena advancing through the chain was just to push him past Abbott without having a horrendous match.

Kanyon and Nunzio on the show was just to get them on the show and to show that Smackdown was all about competition. I needed to do this because of the storyline with the WWE Title. Shane McMahon ruled on the first Smackdown after Mania that due to Angle's injury he would be out 4-6 weeks. (The controversial neck injury) But that he would waive the 30 day Championship rule since he did not want to take his belt away after he sacrificed so much at Mania even with his injury. So that is why nobody sees the WWE Title for the first month. It was very tough but with no PPV for Smackdown on their own. It wasn't as horrible as I thought it could've been. I didn't seperate the brands to ppv's till Bad Blood so the World Heavyweight Title carries the load for the first two months!

I Felt this was the beginning of the better Heat's. When I was using interpromotional matches and more solid workers. Dreamer/Hardy wasn't very good but Mysterio/Noble was off the chain and would've been better if not for Psicosis knocking both men out with Pyscho Stunners.

RAW Rating: 72%

This RAW was not my best effort before a PPV in this diary. The Steiner/HHH match was meant to get both Austin and HHH on the show before Backlash and their Title match. They couldn't do something in the main event cause I needed to keep developing Rock/RVD so I had to put them as the RAW Main Event instead of building HHH/Austin more. Mostly due to the fact they have a history to work off of.

Hurricane defeating Test continues the kid's push beating another guy bigger than him. Now Rock wound up being RVD but it was with some heelish actions to hint at a possible turn. Wasn't sure why cause I wound up never turning Rock but I thought it might be cool to see a Heel Rock again. Just never came around.

Smackdown Rating: 70%

This was a decent show but I dread the Kanyon/Jones match and wonder truthfully why I ever kept him for a couple months. The Cena/Taker match was like real-life where Taker no sold the guy. I kept developing the Cruiserweight Title in this show too and got everyone ready for Backlash. Unfortunately Backlash is also Recapped cause I lost that too which is upsetting cause I really wrote it out really well but gotta wait for Judgement Day for a fully written out PPV.

Goldberg looks down in shock at what he just did..to be turned around by Austin..Stone Cold Stunner!!! Austin then picks up Triple H..STUNNER FOR HIM TOO!!!

Goldberg, Triple H and Ric Flair begin to beatdown horribly on Austin. Backlash goes off the air with the three of them holding their arms high in the air over the fallen Stone Cold (87%)

Backlash Rating: 83%

This show tied up all the old storylines for the majority and started my new ones. Dudleys capturing the Tag Gold was to get the most credible Tag Team on RAW, the belts.

The infamous Shane McMahon/Eric Bischoff match where Shane breaks his leg on the stage was a horrible thing of freak bad luck for me. I was pissed when I saw what happened cause I knew that meant my Smackdown GM was out for a while. Wound up being several months before I brought him back to TV. So Smackdown was run from behind the scenes for a while. Shane had been playing the McMahon I control 25% of WWE card on Bischoff leading up to this match. After this match Bischoff had gloating rights and complete control of RAW with no interference.

Hardy and Edge had another solid match and I wanted to build Hardy some as a credible Heel but as a strong contender too so I had him beat Edge clean. Edgeheads do not dispare as Edge gets his time in this Diary too

Los Guerreros taking down Team Angle barely was to show that while the Guerreros could be beat. It would take a special effort cause the best from Team Angle which could be considered the most solid team in the WWE at the time from a workrate stand point could not take em down.

RVD upsetting Rock was to build RVD even more to show he could be at Rock's level on a PPV Stage.

Jericho and Booker T continued to throw down a great feud and great matches when they stole the show at Backlash with their huge match. (Match of the Night)

Chris Benoit forced Cena to tap out to win the American Championship Tourny and this setup for the next month where Benoit held the belt and had guys chasing him. The American Title Division was stacked for quite a while.

Lesnar defeating Taker for #1 Contendership to Angle's Title was a bad booking decision because I had these two fighting for advancement in the American Title tourny just 2-3 weeks before hand. This was the bad booking decision of the night as well as the worst match of the night due to Taker.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin capturing the World Heavyweight Title over Triple H was the big shocker of the night due to how it happened. With Goldberg joining Evolution but winding up costing HHH the Title. This storyline could've been good but I did botch this one but it setup for one brutal match at Judgement Day!

I felt my first PPV effort was a decent success but wasn't spectacular. I made sure I corrected that problem with Judgement Day

Hurricane and Booker T had their pushes continue. Had to help Booker recover from his loss to Jericho on PPV. This is also the beginning of the ill-fated Orton push with the Hardcore Title. He wound up not being able to take the abuse of having to defend it every week (his condition wasn't recovering fully)

The main event was to give Jericho a bit of a push due to his win at Backlash while keeping the Austin/HHH feud going. I thought this RAW was pretty decent in continuing things out of Backlash and towards Judgement Day. Next up is Smackdown Recap

WWE Smackdown (May 1)

Backstage the show starts with Kurt Angle approaching Brock Lesnar whom was turned around. Angle laughs smacking Lesnar in the face as he turns around and flees! Lesnar in a fury runs after Angle. Angle runs around a corner and then Lesnar does..CRACK! the camera following them comes to see Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin around the corner with chairs which had obviously hit Lesnar! (72%)

Jamie Noble/Psicosis defeats Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio when Psicosis hits the Psycho Stunner on Mysterio to get the pinfall! (82%)

John Cena defeats Edge by hitting Edge in the head with the chain/w lock knocking him down and out. Then finally hitting his DVD to put Edge down for the three count. (79%)

Smackdown Rating: 76%

This was continued the Smackdown New Generation as we see Sean O'Haire for the first time. He does lose but I wanted him against Rhyno and show he can keep with some of the big boys on Smackdown. Angle and Lesnar continue building their feud.

Cena and Edge was to push Cena with a big win over an established star like Edge and have him do it cheaply so it doesn't downgrade Edge. I thought this show was another solid one with not alot of holes. Though we come to see when the shows are written out fully how bad my Cena raps are.

Austin got nailed with a Hard Belly to Belly Suplex followed up by a Spear and Jackhammer allowing Goldberg to get the Non-Title victory over the World Heavyweight Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin! The rest of Evolution came down to the ring..Orton, Batista, Flair, HHH and shook hands with Goldberg and Shamrock. Then all the men raised their arms in victory over the fallen Stone Cold...6-1...Real Fair there! (72%)

RAW Rating: 75%

I thought that this show was another pretty solid one with a good main event showing the full Evolution coming to fruitition but it does end quickly and does not stick around. Hurricane falling to Orton was meant to push Orton's Hardcore Title reign but it didn't really work. Booker going one on one with HHH was meant to give him some rub but that didn't work either. The only match that truely pushed anyone on the show was Christian beating Jericho clean and legit.

Then Angle..picks Lesnar up mocking him..no don't do that..F5 On Brock!!! F5 On Brock!!! Kurt then hooks the leg covering Brock..1....2....3!! Angle retains the Championship but Brock when he recovers may kill Kurt Angle! (82%)

Smackdown Rating: 76%

This show begins to setup Judgement Day which includes some major blow off matches. Edge and Hardy, Benoit/Rhyno and Cena as well as Lesnar and Angle.

I feel that the Cruiserweight Division quietly carries Smackdown in this diary. They always throw down great matches and consistently. Continuing the big feud between Team Angle and Los Guerreros as well though. There is an ill-fated angle/stable coming up soon though that is probably my biggest mistake ever.

Heat Rating: 63%

This was the beginning of the interpromotional Heats where each show got four matches and the best four matches would give that show the advantage. It helped me determine on things such as signings and roster bringups as to where people would go. It was a thing to help me more than anything.

RAW Rating: 78%

This show was significant because it was the one night Tournament to crown a new Intercontinental Champion. Hurricane winning this was a way to push him to the moon in one night and make him an Intercontinental Champion and a threat. A real one. Goldberg vs Steiner...don't ask me cause I don't know why I booked that match.

This is also the beginning of the never-ending Steve Corino/Test Feud which ran like 4-5 months. Insanely long feud. Also when it was announced that Austin/HHH would be a Barbed Wire match. I Lost a bunch of sponsors cause I went through with the match.

The NEW Ministry Has Come..And..Now EVERYONE SHALL SUFFER ITS REIGN!!! Then the music kicked in and everyone left slowly from the ring as the crowd cheered and boo'ed (76%)

Smackdown Rating: 78%

This is where the New Ministry debuted and it died soon after this because I Fired Taker for being a prick and putting down anyone I put against him. From there it disbanded thereby being the worst angle I ever booked. Edge and Hardy though continue to push their feud toward it's climax and at the same time. The Three Way Dance TLC Match at Judgement Day is being setup when Head Cheese vs Los Guerreros vs Team Angle for the WWE Tag Team Championships happens.

RAW wins the Heat Interpromotional Battle this week RAW (72%) Smackdown (71%)

This show kicked off the Shark Boy/Jay Lethal era at least I thought it would be in the WWE. I really wanted to push both to World Title Level and neither at this time or at the time the game ended last time were even close. Sharky had been Multi-Time Hardcore Champion and Jay Lethal was out for a year with a knee injury from Christian. Orton continues his Hardcore Title Reign as well in this show but by now he's beginning to suffer the effects of being Champ for almost 5 weeks.

Monday Night RAW (May 19, Rock vs RVD)

Backstage Triple H and Ric Flair have Goldberg, Shamrock, Orton and Batista sitting across from each other. HHH is talking to them telling them what is going to happen tonight!

HHH: I don't care what bs is between you and Orton, Shamrock. But it will end tonight. You and Goldberg will go against Orton and Batista here and settle it in the ring. After that we'll handle the rest of our business later. We all need to be on the same page heading into Judgement Day so everyone make sure you don't f*ck it up tonight!

Then all the men except for HHH and Flair leave the room and Flair asks HHH something.

Flair: You think your actully gonna be able to take Austin on Sunday man. Barbed Wire Matches are known to end careers and while I know your a Career killer. Austin has always had your number man..WOO!

HHH: I will handle him on Sunday and get back my belt. I have to..It's everything to me!

The segment ends cutting to the ring for the first match to start (82%)

Goldberg and Shamrock defeat Batista and Orton when Goldberg hits a huge spear on Orton and follows it up with a Jackhammer hard to the mat. Shamrock knocking Batista down as Goldberg got the cover..1...2....3! After the match all four men shake hands like they were told to make buddy earlier and leave Goldberg's music. (72%)

Shark Boy is backstage and cuts an interview about this being the Year of the Shark and every superstar on the roster will have to fear the Shark Attack before it's all over! (77%)

Triple H was told he had to face Kane which was a surprise to him by Bischoff during the break. HHH then came out and put together a solid match with Kane which ended when Kane went for a chokeslam. The referee had been put out of position as HHH had pushed the referee away and then hit a low blow on Kane. Followed up by a MASSIVE Pedigree! HHH then covers Kane..1...2....3! HHH then leaves the ring as Austin comes running down to the ring with the World Heavyweight Championship in one hand and a 2x4 covered with Barbed Wire in the other hand. Austin makes HHH flee with it! (81%)

Christian and Jericho win their match against Booker T and Hurricane when Jericho makes Hurricane tap out to the Walls of Jericho after a very solid match. After the match Booker hit his Scissors Kick on both Christian and Jericho..Who will be the WWE Intercontinental Champion after Sunday though! (83%)

Backstage as Austin is yelling and screaming searching for HHH. Evolution attacks Austin in force. Austin nails Orton and Shamrock in the head with the 2x4 with Barbed Wire knocking them both down and busting them open but Goldberg spears Austin into a huge metal garage door. Then HHH comes up from behind all of them with his sledgehammer. The head of it covered in barbed wire and he tells Austin that Sunday will be HIS Judgement Day and he knocks Austin OUT! with a Sledgehammer Shot to the head that busts Austin wide open! (84%)

Steve Corino beats Test by countout when Test chases Stacy Keibler backstage after she had betrayed him last week! Keibler had distracted Test during the match and instead of going back after Corino. He chased her up the ramp and backstage. Corino stayed in the ring for the countout before going to find Stacy to get her out of harm's way! (74%)

Lance Storm defeats Bubba Ray Dudley because of the Brass Knucks that were apparently attached to the ringpost by ducktape but it was beneath the steel stairs. An odd spot for Knucks to be. But Storm wailed Bubba in the head knocking him silly to get the pinfall! (68%)

Another Video promo plays previewing the Barbed Wire Match between Austin and HHH for Judgement Day. It should be as JR would say a SlobberKnocker! (74%)

The Rock beats Rob Van Dam in a Table Match! Rock ended up avoiding the contact on a Five Star Frog Splash and stood RVD up hitting a HUGE Rock Bottom on him. Then Rock setup a table that had been put in the ring. He then picked RVD up standing him onto the table. Then ANOTHER DRIVING ROCK BOTTOM Through the Table for the victory! A PPV Caliber match on RAW! What a treat and a great match! (85%)

RAW Rating: 78%

This was the RAW before Judgement Day and therefore saw the match that couldn't make it on this ppv. Rock/RVD Tables Match as the Main Event of RAW. Also with a promo from Shark Boy to show he's coming to RAW. Every match heading toward the PPV was advanced on this show and the Fatal Fourway IC Title match was the most difficult for anyone to call mostly because I like to swerve people in my bookings sometimes and four wrestlers with an equal shot to win (Christian and Jericho and Booker have held it before and Hurricane is champ) Made for an interesting match but the show highlighted the Barbed Wire World Heavyweight Title Match for Judgement Day!
