    " What You Saw...It Didn't Happen!"

    [- Tell Me You Just Didn’t Get Beat Down, Tell Me! -]

    -The show opens up to a long black stretch limo pulling up in the parking garage. The limo inches along before finally coming to rest just feet from the camera. After a few moments of silence, the door opens to the limo and out steps Queen Sharmell. From behind the camera walks the “King’s Men” of William Regal and Fit Finlay. After a few moments, the World Champion exits the limo, and as soon as his mug is shown on the camera, the audiences inside the arena lets out a huge boo roar. Moments later, Scotty Taylor rushes onto the scene.-

    SCOTTY TAYLOR: KING BOOKER! Champ! I was wondering if I could get your comments on last week and suffering a pinfall defeat at the hands of the number one contender, Bobby Lashley.

    -The champ’s head snaps towards Taylor, as Sharmell looks on in shock. Regal just gives a look of disgust-

    KING BOOKER : Tell me, you didn’t just say that!

    SCOTTY TAYLOR: Say what?

    SHARMELL: King Booker did not lose… we was SCREWED at the end of last week’s Smackdown! The world saw what happened! That was the fastest count in the history of Smackdown… of the WWE… of the entire industry! As Queen to the World Champion, I demand that the match last week be stripped from the record books!

    SCOTTY TAYLOR: That isn’t going to happen. The match will stand forever… with Bobby Lashley pinning the World Champion, King Booker.

    KING BOOKER: Tell Me….

    -The World Champion is brought to complete silence as the camera pans around to show Dave Batista standing in front of the World Champion, grinning from ear to ear.-

    KING BOOKER: What do you want, sucka?

    BATISTA: Book, I don’t know what fantasy world you are living in here lately, but last week whether you want to acknowledge it or not, Bobby Lashley pinned your shoulders to the canvas, ONE, TWO, THREE!… And yes, I just said that!

    -Dave Batista looks square at Sharmell. William Regal steps back into the picture.-

    WILLIAM REGAL: Listen up you disrespectful, bloody fool! What happened to the King last week was nothing short of a screw job, and the fact that you keep bringing it up, only infuriates both the Champion and myself. What you need to do is be a taught a lesson in respect!

    BATISTA: Yeah? You and what army?

    -As soon as Batista says this, Finlay drills Batista from the back with the shillelagh. The Animal flies forward crashing into the limo. The King and his men, all three begin to beat down the former World Champion. After a few moments of landing punches and kicks, the Champ tells his men to back off. King Booker grabs Batista by the head, as Finlay points towards the glass. Booker begins to ram Batista’s head towards that glass, but at the last moment, Bobby Lashley drills him himself from behind! The crowd erupts as the number one contender burst onto the scene. The Champ, and his men, slowly backtrack and disappear into the arena. Lashley checks on Batista as the scene fades back into the ring.-

    Overall: 81

    Shane O'Mac's Commentary: Wow. That was close, wasn't it? Dave Batista just about got his skull shoved through that car window. Thankfully Lashley was there to stop it, or Big Dave would have to wear one of those silly Kane/Mankind masks for the rest of his career. Either that or be forced to walk around with a mug that rivarlies on Gene Snitisky's uglyness.

    :: FADE TO COMMERICAL::

    When we return, Michael Cole says how no good the “Kingdom” is. JBL disagrees, saying that Batista got what was coming to him, and Sharmell was right, and refuses to acknowledge that Bobby Lashley scored the fast count last week. Cole still sticks to his views on the Kingdom being spineless, but transitions that to what we saw last week, when Mark Henry interfered during the Chavo/Rey match, leaving Rey out of action for a few weeks.

    [- Toothless Aggression Will Not Take It… ANYMORE-]

    OOOOOOOOOHHHH CHAVO!

    -Chavo’s theme starts up as he steps out onto the entrance ramp and is totally mobbed by boos and jeers. Moments later, Chavo is joined by Mark Henry, who is greeted with a very similar reaction. This reaction doesn’t bother either of the two superstars as they march down the entrance ramp, and take their spot in the middle of the ring. -

    CHAVO GUERRERO: I assure each and every single one of you, that I feel the exact same way.

    -As expected, this ‘heat remarked’ generated plenty of boos from the crowd. Henry and Guerrero just eat it up.-

    CHAVO GUERRERO: But on to more pressing matters… I am here to declare that I should be in line after a title shot, after putting to rest that pest, Rey Mysterio last week. I single handely defeated a former World Champion right in the middle of this ring! I think Teddy Long should come out here right now and hand me a title shot of some kind. Give me King Booker! Give me Ken Kennedy! Give me Gregory Helms! I don’t care. Just give me what I deserve…

    -‘Aggression’ starts up as the arena explodes. Chavo’s head jerks towards the entrance ramp as none other then Chris Benoit explodes onto the entrance ramp. Obviously this isn’t what Chavo had in mind.-

    CHRIS BENOIT: So you want what you deserve huh?

    CHAVO GUERRERO: Of course I do…

    -SLAP! Chris Benoit delivers a straight slap right across the face of Chavo Guerrero. The expression on Chavo’s face is classic, totally shocked at being literally slapped in the face by Chris Benoit in front of the entire arena.-

    CHAVO GUERRERO: Do you know who I am! Do you know that I am…

    CHRIS BENOIT: I know exactly who you are. I know exactly what your last name represents, and I know that you are doing nothing but living off your family name! I also know that…

    KEN KENNEDY: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

    -The United States Champion appears on the stage decked out in street clothes, but carrying with him the United States Championship.-

    KEN KENNEDY: I don’t know what is with you people. I don’t know if you have noticed, but I have done a lot over my first year on Smackdown, and I didn’t get to where I got by asking people to give me shots because of my last name, or because I once held the title. I didn’t ask to be given ANYTHING! I earned everything I got. If you two want a shot at me so much, I suggest you go earn it! Face one another right now!

    -Benoit nods his head, in accepting the challenges. Chavo looks up at the United States Champion, but then explodes with a right hand to Chris Benoit, accepting the challenge.-

    Overall: 70

    Chavo Guerrero vs Chris Benoit

    The bell sounds as a ref rushes down from the backstage area. Chavo continues to pound on the face of Benoit. The ref finally forces a break, which Chavo has no other choice but to follow. Guerrero grabs Benoit by the head, and pulls him up to his feet, however after kicking a kick to the gut, spikes the head of Benoit straight down into the canvas with impressive DDT! Chavo springs up to his feet, and imitates his late Uncle, by doing his classic shoulder shrugs. Soon after, he points towards Ken Kennedy who is on the entrance ramp, and motions around his waist. Chavo grabs Benoit by the head and once again pulls him up to his feet. Chavo locks Benoit in a suplex then executes, but doesn’t let go of the hold. Chavo pulls himself up to his feet, and executes a second suplex, but yet again doesn’t break the hold. A third suplex! Three Amigos! Just like his late uncle! At this point the crowd is totally ‘hating’ on Chavo, who seems to be soaking it all up. He once again gives the Guerrero shoulder shrugs, before dropping an elbow to the downed Benoit.

    Chavo grabs Benoit and pulls him up to his feet. Benoit gives a HARD knife-edge chop right across the chest of Chavo. This brings out a ‘WOOOO’ from the fans, however Chavo immediately responds with a thumb right the eye of Benoit. Chavo delivers a knife-edge chop of his own. He waits for the response, but none is given. Chavo even goes as far as to cup his ears, which brings out a small reaction from the crowd, however the pause gives Benoit time to recover, deliver a knife-edge chop. A second one! Chavo is stunned. Benoit grabs Chavo and executes a reverse German Suplex! Both men are down at his point however. Neither can climb to their feet very fast. After a few moments, both are on their feet. They lock up and it is Chavo who wins the grapple. He sends Benoit into the ropes. As he bounces off the ropes, Mark Henry reaches under the ropes and pulls on the leg of Benoit. Chris turns around to Henry, but senses it is a set up. Benoit turns around and spots Chavo charging! Benoit drops to the canvas, and catches Chavo with a drop toehold! Chavo falls forward catching the top rope right across the throat! Chavo stays on his feet, but is totally shaken by the move.

    Chavo stumbles around for a few moments before Chris Benoit runs right over him, sending Chavo to the canvas. Benoit gives the throat slashing sign, as the ref rushes over to check on Chavo. Benoit turns to head towards the turnbuckle, but as he turns Mark Henry grabs him and drops him with a huge belly to belly suplex, sending all of Henry’s weight right on top of Benoit. Henry rolls out of the ring, just before the ref turns around to see Chris Benoit in a lot of pain. The ref looks over at Henry, who professes his innocence. Chavo inches closer towards Benoit! Chavo grabs Benoit…. CROSSFACE! Chavo Guerrero has the Crossface on Chris Benoit! The crowd is erupting in boos, as Chavo shows the ultimate disrespect, putting Benoit’s own finisher on him! Chavo tightens the hold… NO! Benoit rolls through, and rolls Chavo up into a roll up! 1-2-3! Benoit Wins! Benoit rolls out of the ring, as Chavo explodes up to his feet, once again totally shocked. The ref joins Chris Benoit on the outside, and raises his hand in victory. Benoit just eyeballs the United States Champion at the top of the entrance ramp.

    KEN KENNEDY: Good job on picking up the win Chris, but it’s not impressive enough for me to give you a shot at the United States Championship!

    WINNER: CHRIS BENOIT

    Overall: 78

    Shane O'Mac's Commentary: Chavo should probably stick to doing his own moves…but what is Chris Benoit going to have to do to prove to Kennedy that he is worthy of a title shot?

    ::FADE TO COMMERICAL::

    [-Wanna ‘Bang’ With Ashley, Hardy? -]

    -The scene fades backstage where Matt Hardy is taping up his wrist and fingers. As Hardy appears on the screen, the crowd gives a soft pop. Nothing large, but a sizeable amount none the less. However a bigger pop occurs when into the scene steps the former Raw Diva Search Winner, Ashley-

    Ashley: Matt, you ready for tonight?

    Matt Hardy: You can bet your life on it.

    Ashley: Good, because John Cena will be a tough test for you.

    Matt Hardy: True, but if you think about it, he is the perfect opponent for Matt Hardy. What better way to prove to all those nay sayers out there, that I am truly one of the best athletes in World Wrestling Entertainment, then go out there and beat a former WWE Champion.

    Ashley: That would shut them up. Do you care if I join you?

    Matt Hardy: Nah. I’ve to have you out there to witness the biggest night in Matt Hardy’s career. The night where Matt Hardy becomes an elite superstar!

    -Ashley and Matt Hardy walks off as the scene fades back to the arena.-

    Overall: 67

    Bobby Lashley vs William Regal

    The King’s Men theme starts up as William Regal steps out onto the entrance ramp and is just drilled with boos and jeers from the crowd. He thinks their swine, so being booed by poor American trash doesn’t bother him in the least. He gives the gentlemanly wave, and makes his way down to the ring. He rolls into the ring and removes his robe. However as soon as he removes his robe, the sounds of ‘Unleashed’ starts up and the arena gives off a LOUD cheer as the pyros shoot off from the stage. Again pyros shoot off from the stage, and when the smoke clears, the number one contender, Bobby Lashley stands in the middle of the entrance ramp. He makes his way down to the ring where he rolls into the ring. Regal almost dares him to join him in the middle of the ring, which Lashley more then accepts. Lashley and Regal are now face to face. Lashley dares Regal to hit him first. Regal is offended by this and gives Lashley as slap… a move that only seems to fire up the already fired up monster. He once gain points towards his chin, daring the ‘Gentlemen from Across the Pond’ to hit him first. Regal does, but doesn’t stop at one. He drills him with a right, a left, then a knee to the gut, and followed by one of his famous upper cuts. Regal is proud of himself. He gives that cocky smirk, and turns back towards Lashley to find Lashley didn’t sell an inch! Regal explodes with a clothesline, but Lashley ducks out of the way… SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEAR TO REGAL! Lashley just flattens ‘Sir’ William Regal with the spear. He grabs Regal by the head and pulls him up, before dropping him with the Dominator, then picks up the easy 1-2-3!

    WINNER: BOBBY LASHLEY

    Overall: 74

    Shane O'Mac's Commentary: There is certian places I just don't want to be in this world. A dark alley at night. In the middle of a warzone. But most of all, I wouldn't want to be in the same ring as Bobby Lashley at this point. He's unstoppable!

    ::FADE TO COMMERICAL::

    -When we return Michael Cole is going on and one about how awesome Bobby Lashley looked. JBL added the heel comments of 'at least he didn't have to cheat this week'! The two commentators begin to fight verbally as Ken Kennedy makes his way down towards the ring. -

    -United States Title Match-

    ????? vs ©Ken Kennedy

    -‘Cheese Head’ starts up as the United States Champion steps out onto the entrance ramp. He is greeted with a mixed reaction as he makes his way down to the ring. Once in the ring, he pulls the stick out.-

    KEN KENNEDY: It occurred to me that I haven’t defended my title once since I won it nearly a month ago. Now, in my defense it isn’t like I haven’t been looking. I just don’t want to put my title on the line against any ole hag. I want to defend this title against the very best. People have to EARN a shot at this baby. And over the past few weeks, I have been impressed with one special young lad. He has earned a shot at my championship belt. That man is none other then, the Reality Star… THE MIZ!!!

    The crowd is stunned as ‘Real World’ starts up and out marches the goofy Miz. HOORAH! He skips down to the ring. Well not skip, but that’s the best way to describe that goofy walk of his. He rolls into the ring as the bell sounds, but as soon as he rolls into the ring Kennedy drills him with a right hand. A second shot sends him falling to the canvas. Kenned doesn’t stop the attack however, kicking Miz while he is on the ground, beating him into submission just about. After doing all the damage he wants, Kennedy screams out ‘HOORAH’, mocking the young superstar. Kennedy chuckles, but as he looks up he spots Chris Benoit standing at the top of the entrance ramp looking down at the Champion. Kennedy’s cheerful expression fades as he locks eyes with Benoit. He points towards Benoit, then motions for him to watch. Kennedy grabs Miz, and scoops him up, before slamming him back down to the canvas. Then Kennedy steps out onto the apron, and climbs to the top rope. He looks over his shoulder and gives the throat-slashing taunt towards Benoit, before leaping off and drilling Miz with a Benoit headbutt! However just like Benoit… Kennedy feels just as much damage from this move as Miz does. The camera switches to Benoit who gives a chuckle. Kennedy tries to shake off the cobwebs as he climbs up to his feet. Miz however is just as quick at climbing to his feet, obviously not affected by any attack to the head. Miz charges the dazed Champion, but Kennedy gives a stiff kick to the gut of Miz, stopping him in his tracks, before finishing him off with the GREEN BAY PLUNGE! 1-2-3! The bell sounds as ‘Cheese Head’ starts back up. The ref hands Ken Kennedy the title. Kennedy shows Benoit the title, as Benoit just motions for the belt to be around his waist. Kennedy gives a shake of the head, disagreeing with the gustier.

    WINNER: KEN KENNEDY

    Overall: 72

    Shane O'Mac's Commentary: I knew I shouldn't have given Kennedy the power to book his own opponents. What was he thinking? The Miz! Maybe if this was a Real World Challenge Match. Maybe...though I'd rather have Coral on my team, then Miz.

    ::FADE to COMMERICAL::

    -Michael Cole and JBL are arguing as we return about Ken Kennedy. Michael Cole calls Kennedy a coward, but JBL says that he is just doing what he feels is right, and will never hold that against anyone.-

    [-The Doctor Will See You Now…-]

    -‘Word Life’ starts up as Cena walks out and down to the ring, sporting a throwback #88 Michael Irvin Dallas Cowboy Jersey. Cena rolls into the ring and throws up the ‘Word Life’ sign for the Chain Gang Soldiers in the house, receiving both a bag of cheers and jeers. -

    JOHN CENA: It appears what we have here is the ultimate throwback… John Cena wrestling in a Smackdown ring. Now some may see my move as a demotion. Me? I like to view it as a way to get back to my roots, and what better place to do that, then come back to the place where it all began for John Cena… SMACKDOWN!

    -Cena sells out for the cheap pop.-

    JOHN CENA: And who does John Cena find as his return challenger? Why its none other then the Wonder Boy, Matt Hardy. A man who…

    OOOOOOOHHHH YEAH

    -The crowd erupts as Matt Hardy and Ashley emerge from the back and make their way down to the ring. Hardy takes his spot in the center of the ring right in front of Cena, where as Ashley joins him in the ring, but stands behind her man.-

    MATT HARDY: Why don’t you cut the bullcrap John? We all know that if it weren’t for Edge, you would still be on Raw.

    JOHN CENA: That’s funny, cause I could say the same damn thing about you!

    MATT HARDY: What happened between Edge and me is totally different.

    JOHN CENA: You damn right what happened was different! Unlike you, when Edge brought the fight to me, I brought the fight right back to him. You on the other hand, ran off to your computer where you cried your little heart out on some damn blog to all of these message board geeks.... who can sympathize with you since neither of you have got laid since the Playmaker was winning superbowls and smokin' crack with hookers.

    -Cena gives a tug on his jersey, but shakes his head while doing so.-

    JOHN CENA: See Matt, I’m a man! True, I may know how to fly off a little ladder like you do, but when someone brings a fight at John Cena, I bring the fight right back at them. You on the other hand, just drops down to your KNEES and begins to suck on THESE!

    -Cena grabs his crotch, getting a huge response from the crowd.-

    Overall: 87

    John Cena vs Matt Hardy

    Cena drops the mic and drills Hardy square in the face as the match starts. Ashley exits the ring, as the bell sounds. Cena unloads with rights and lefts to Hardy who is still dazed by the initial attack on him. John Cena tosses Matt Hardy across the ring. Hardy bounces off the ropes and when he does, he is drilled with a clothesline by the huge arms of the doctor of Thuganomics. Matt crashes to the canvas, but picks himself right back up. However once right back on his feet, Cena sends his right back to the canvas with a right hand. Hardy climbs up to his feet once more, but Cena leaps into the air and drops Hardy to the canvas with a Lou Thez Press. Cena begins to slug away at the head of Hardy, who can do little to nothing to stop the beating.

    John Cena climbs up to his feet and jerks off the throwback jersey he was sporting. He goes to throw it into the first row, but elects to rather just toss it in the corner, almost ‘teasing the fans’. This gets a boo out of them, which Cena almost enjoys. He turns back around and scoops up Hardy, however Matt reverses the tide, by rolling up Cena and scoring a two count! The crowd pops as both men spring to their feet. Cena dives with a clothesline, but Hardy ducks out of the way. Right hand by Hardy! Cena goes to respond, but Hardy ducks out of the way. He charges and delivers that short burst clothesline! Cena crashes to the canvas. He pulls himself up to his feet, but Hardy tosses him into the ropes! SIDE EFFECT! Hardy drops John Cena with the side effect! Cena is in a lot of pain, as Hardy pulls himself up to his feet.

    Hardy appears to be in total control of the match. He climbs up onto the middle rope, and lets out a man scream, before leaping off the middle rope with a leg drop! The camera fades to ringside, where we see Ashley cheering on her man. However from behind we see the Cruiserweight Champion, Gregory Helms emerge into the picture. He reaches out and grabs Ashley butt from behind. She turns around startled. He reaches out and puts his arm around her. She begins to fight off, but Helms tightens his hold on her, and screams out to Hardy. Matt is just about to make the cover, but hears Ashley screaming. He looks up and sees the champ hugging on his girl. Hardy begins to crawl towards the scene, but Cena reaches up and grabs Hardy by the leg! STFU! Cena has his submission hold locked in! Hardy is restrained, unable to do anything while kiss Ashley on the neck. Hardy tries to do everything in his power to kick out, but is unable. Finally he has no choice but to tap on the canvas.

    A bag of mixed emotions erupts from the crowd as the bell rings, signaling that John Cena has won the match. Cena raises his own hand in victory, while Hardy rolls to the outside. Both Ashley and Matt Hardy check on one another, to see if the other is OK. Gregory Helms is on top of the entrance ramp smiling at Hardy. After taunting Version 1.0 for a little bit, the Cruiserweight Champion turns and heads back towards the locker room, leaving Matt Hardy steaming at ringside.

    WINNER: JOHN CENA

    Overall: 81

    ::FADE to COMMERICAL::

    [- The King of the World Takes Credit -]

    -‘King of the World’ starts up as the arena erupts into a chorus of boos and jeers. King Booker steps out onto the stage, along side his Queen, Sharmell. The negative reaction in the arena grows even louder, as the World Champion makes his appearance in front of the live audience. Booker raises his hands up in the air, and gives off that fake smile as Sharmell announces that the King is Here as they make their way down the entrance ramp and into the ring. Booker takes his spot in the center of the ring with the ‘Kings Men’ of Fit Finlay and William Regal both behind him.-

    King Booker: Bobby Lashley I want you to take a look around. Everything you see is here … It is because of me! I am the King of this company. Smackdown is MY KINGDOM! Everything you see here is because of me. Everything that happens in my kingdom is done with my blessing. Your very rise is because of me, Bobby Lashley!

    -Boos pour out from the arena as the World Champion takes credit for the rise of Bobby Lashley.-

    King Booker: But don’t you worry, sucka. No thanks is in order on your part. You see, as I said I allowed your rise to the top to happen, and at No Mercy the king will TAKETH away everything I have allowed to happen. At No Mercy, everyone will remember the joke you were before I allowed you to rise to the top. Everyone will remember who’s kingdom this is… and who the King of the Company is… am… and will forever be… King Booker!!!

    -Loud boos erupt all around the arena as Booker raises the World Championship belt high in the air, showing off the fact that he is the World Champion.-

    Overall: 78

    Shane O'Mac's Commentary: Short. Sweet. Effective. This kidos is why he is wearing the World Championship belt. In less then a minute, he got the entire arena to hate him, which in turn rubs off on Fit Finlay....Did I ever mention how much I love King Booker?

    -Main Event-

    Batista vs Fit Finlay

    King Booker still holds his World Championship belt high in the air. Boos are being poured down upon the ring, however these boos are quickly turned into cheers as Batista’s theme starts up.

    Looking Back...I See...

    I Never Really Got It Right!!!

    The crowd explodes as the Animal steps out onto the entrance ramp. He walks over to one side of the entrance ramp and motions for the raises to rise up to their feet. They obey. He marches over to the other side of the entrance ramp and motions for them to rise up to their feet. They too obey. Batista then takes his spot in the middle of the entrance ramp, and motions for the entire arena to rise to their feet. They obey. Batista then slowly begins to make his way down to the ring, leaping onto the apron, and stepping between the top and middle rope, entering the ring. Once in the ring, he gives a death stare to the Kingdom, who look on in fear, but try their best to show none of it. Batista fake jukes at the Kingdom, which brings Booker and Regal crashing to the canvas, both men roll out of the ring, leaving Finlay to wonder what the hell just happened. He looks at both men disappointing as he shakes his head. He looks back into the center of the ring where Dave Batista awaits. The bell finally sounds to begin the match.

    As soon as the bell sounds Finlay charges Batista, who just explodes running right over Finlay. The Irishman climbs up to his feet, but is met with a straight right hand from Dave Batista. A second one! A third one! Batista checks himself, before delivering a fourth shot right to Fit Finlay! The Irishman crashes down to the canvas, but rises up quickly. The expression on his face is priceless. He has a grin from ear to ear, almost as if he enjoyed the beating. The two men go to tie up, but Finlay wins this leveling an uppercut to Dave Batista, before laying in with a trio of right hand shots of his own. Dave Batista isn’t as welcoming to the right hands as Fit Finlay, and just tries to shake off the punches. They tie up again, but Finlay goes behind Batista, then delivers a straight palm shot right to the temple of Dave Batista, before executing a chop block right to the right knee. Batista crashes to the canvas, as Finlay appears to be in total control of this match at this point.

    Finlay drops down to the canvas, and mounts Big Dave, before starting to whale on him with rights. He is using Batista’s face like an Everlast punching bag at this point, repeating punching the face of the former World Champion. The ref finally forces a break, but the damage has been done at this point. Finlay climbs to his feet and gives Batista a good ole fashion slap across the head for motivation as he climbs up to his feet. Finlay helps Batista get to his knees, but Dave will have none of it, giving Finlay a shot to the gut. He then explodes with tackle, driving Finlay into the corner. Batista then proceeds to execute his famous shoulder thrusts in the corner, right into the mid section of Finlay. Two! Three! Four! Five shoulder thrust as the crowd loves each and every single one of them! Batista steps back and lets Finlay stumble out of the corner. As he does, Batista snatches him up and plants him with a SPINEBUSTER! The arena goes berserk at this point, as Batista climbs up onto his feet. He grabs the ropes and begins to go crazy on them, ala Ultimate Warrior. Batista is a few moments away from winning this match up. Which is exactly what his tag team partner, William Regal realizes. Regal slides into the ring and drills Batista with a right hand, that sends Batista crashing to the canvas. The ref immediately calls for the bell. As the ref moves out of the way, we see that Regal had a pair of brass knuckles, which explains why Batista went down with only one shot.

    The bell sounds as this match has turned into nothing more then a three on one assault. King Booker, William Regal, and Fit Finlay are all attacking Dave Batista. Stomping. Kicking. Beating the former World Champion into submission, and there is little he can do to stop it due to the numbers advantage. The crowd gives a HUGE roar of approval as the number one contender; Bobby Lashley explodes down the entrance ramp. He charges down the ramp, and slides under the bottom rope. William Regal is the first to spot Lashley. He turns around and charges at the number one contender who breaks Regal in half with a SPEAR! Lashley rolls up onto his feet. He pauses for a moment, waiting for Finlay to turn around. The Irishman is really enjoying throwing a beating on Dave Batista at this point, but after King Booker taps him on the shoulder and points out Lashley, Finlay turns around and charges as well, only to receive the same fate as Regal. SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEAR! Lashley springs up to his feet, but by this time King Booker has already left the ring and is half way up the entrance ramp. Lashley checks on Batista as Regal and Finlay roll out of the ring and join the World Champion at the entrance ramp. Lashley stands up and points up at the World Champion, the motions for the belt as the show comes to an end.

    WINNER: DAVE BATISTA

    Overall: 78

    Shane O'Mac's Commentary: Yikes! That can't be what King Booker and his army had in mind. What are they going to have to do in order to put away Bobby Lashley once and for all? *Shrugs*

    End of Smackdown.......Good Night Now!

    First off, sorry for the delay in getting this second show out to you. I had the show ready to go on Friday, all but two final segments, but the weather turned out to be really nice for the weekend, so me an my girl went to the lake one final time. No big deal. I should have the next show out by this weekend to keep everything on pace.

    Great diary so far, I loved the backstory. Bringing back The Rock was a good idea. You did make a typo in your backstory though. You said the meeting way a day after Judgment Day, when it was really after Unforgiven, no biggie though. I'd like to see another guy get moved to Smackdown besides Cena (maybe Edge or Shawn Michaels, they would be alot more fresh on SD), but again, no biggie. Keep up the good work man.

    Yeah, Michaels on SD! would be another lift for the show and could help guys like Kennedy get over. Imagine the meets you could have Taker, Rock and HBK in all in the one room fighting for power :D

    IPB Image

    Preview for September 29nd!

    There is chaos in the King's Kingdom. Last week the World Heavyweight Champion fell victim to the number one contender in tag team action. King Booker can not be happy about this, and has sent the 'Kings Army' to put to rest the two thorns in the side of the World Champion. William Regal will take on the number one contender, Bobby Lashley, while Dave Batista will square off with Fit Finlay. Can the Kingdom regain momentum as we inch closer towards No Mercy? Or will Bobby Lashley and Dave Batista continue to one up the King and his men?

    " My Time Is Now "

    ‘Beautiful People’ starts up as Smackdown officially begins. At the onset Michael Cole and JBL begin to talk about the night’s events. Cole hypes up the main event tag match between Batista, Lashley, Fit Finlay, and the World Champion Booker T. Bradshaw interrupts him and tells him that the nights biggest event may be the one that starts it off, because John Cena is now a member of Smackdown after losing to Edge at Unforgiven, and as if it was scripted or something, as soon as JBL mentions this ‘Word Life’ starts up over the audio system.

    [-Welcome Home John-Boy… Wish We Could Say We Missed You-]

    Word Life!

    Its Just A Matter of Thuganomics!

    -As his theme plays John Cena steps out onto the entrance ramp sporting a Mike Vick Virginia Tech throwback jersey. As he appears on the top of the entrance ramp, Cena is once again greeted with a mixed reaction from the crowd. By now he has become accustom to this reaction, and as he pauses at the top of the entrance ramp, he just looks out at the crowd still with a bewildered expression. The former WWE Champ makes his way down to the ring and takes his place in the center of the ring. -

    John Cena: You know, for nearly 18 months I busted my ass each and every single day for this company. I busted my ass to be the best damn WWE Champion I could be. I busted my ass to try to be a champion that all of you wanted. I wanted to be a champion you could cheer for. I cared about what you thought. I actually gave a damn about you people … and how did you repay me? By booing my ass out of nearly every major arena across this country! From the Staples Center, to Madison Square Garden. From Saturday Night Main Event to Wrestlemania, I busted my ass on a nightly basis, and what did I get in return? Nothing but straight hate from damn near each and every single one of you.

    -Cena looks out at the crowd, almost bewildered at this point.-

    John Cena: At Wrestlemania, you cheered the biggest villain in this industry’s history over me. Before that, you cheered some Hanson look alike whose only claim to fame is that he banged his best friend’s girl… which now we find out isn’t that great of an accomplishment.

    -Cena gives a half hearted shrug, as he throws Lita under the bus once more.-

    John Cena: You people ate them up like they were cotton candy at a state fair, yet when I came out here and tried to for fight the fans ya’ll did nothing but boo me. And the truth is that it bothered me. The boos bothered me for the longest time, because growing up I wanted to be just like Hulk Hogan. I wanted to be just like Steve Austin. I wanted to be someone who all of you could relate too. I wanted to be your hero, your solider, I wanted to be the person who fought for you! So when you booed me, HELL YEAH it hurt. It stung like hell, and for the longest time, I couldn’t figure out why it was happening. Then all of a sudden one day it hit me. The problem is that you people got to know me too well. You look at me, see what I fight for, and what I’ve become…and you remember what I was! There is a group of people out there that just want to see a whole different side of me. A side that’s Black… Ruthless… Evil… Maniacal… Pompous… Crass

    -Cena lowers the mic for a moment as he looks out across the arena at the fans.-

    John Cena: I busted my ass for you, and you spit right back in my face. You people want to play like that, then go right on ahead. I don’t need you anyways. I won the WWE Championship TWICE, without anyone in this damn place liking me. I beat the likes of Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Edge, Triple H, and countless others without any help from you fudge-packers! And don’t get it twisted in your little minds, I am STILL the Franchise! I am still the baddest on the planet! Raw! Smackdown! ECW! It doesn’t matter what the show is called, as long my heart is beating then there ain’t a question as to where the franchise is at… THE MAN IS HERRE!

    -This yet again gets a mixed reaction. Cena obviously doesn’t care, and cuts off their reaction time long before it has time to fully play out.-

    John Cena: And you people know me… I don’t come out here and just run my mouth. When I say something I back it up! I didn’t come out here to tell all of you to kiss my ass… nah, I came out here to call out a certain someone. See, I think I’m the baddest man on the planet. Yet every week I hear five guys say the exact same thing. So what I am gonna doing is PROVE that I am the baddest man on the planet, by calling out the biggest dawg on Smackdown, and punching him right in his freaking GRILL!

    -This actually draws a fair amount of cheers from the crowd.-

    John Cena: Dead Man…

    -The arena explodes as Cena mentions the name of The Undertaker.-

    John Cena: Taker… you’ve been the face of this roster since the show was formed. Everyone associates you with being the man around here… that is until now! Dead Man, you are looking at the new face of Smackdown! You are looking at the new DAWG of the YARD! Whether you like it or not, there is a new face of this show…. And it is MY FACE! This is now MY YARD! And if you don’t like it… then suck of these!

    -Cena grabs his crotch and motions towards the camera. Actually surprisingly the fans eat Cena up, which is surprising. Cena pays them no mind. ‘Word Life’ plays again as Cena drops the mic, and exits the ring.-

    Shane O'Mac's Commentary: Whether you like him or hate him, The "Doctor of Thuganomics" looks to be on his way back, and from the looks of it, he is wasting no time in going after the 'Top Dawg' on Smackdown, the Undertaker.

    :: Fade to Commercial ::

    When we return Michael Cole and JBL go crazy over the return of John Cena, and more importantly his calling out of the Undertaker. Cole marks the hell out for John Cena, claiming he is now the face of Smackdown, while JBL reminds Cole that the Dead Man may have a few things to say about that.

    Jamie Noble vs Matt Hardy

    OOOOOOOOOOOOH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!

    Matt Hardy’s theme starts up as he steps out on to the entrance ramp. The crowd eats it up as he walks down to the ring where everyone’s favorite redneck, Jamie Noble is waiting on him. Hardy slides into the ring and gives his ‘V1’ pose, but as soon as he turns his back on Noble, the Redneck makes him pay with a stiff knee right to the middle of the back of Hardy, which sends him flying head first into the turnbuckles. Hardy stumbles backwards, as he is still stunned from having his head rammed into the turnbuckle. Noble is standing behind him, and this allows him to easily lock him up from behind and drop him with a nice German suplex, that he releases at the perfect time, sending Hardy crashing down onto his neck. Hardy is totally dazed at this point, which apparently is the perfect time for Jamie Noble to mount Hardy and begin to unload with rights and lefts to the face of Hardy.

    The ref forces a break and after a few shots Noble finally does break. As he unmounts Hardy, we notice that the none other then the WWE Cruiserweight Champion has made his way onto the entrance ramp and is scouting the match. Noble notices this, but pays him no mind, since he realizes he isn’t out there to bother Noble. Jamie climbs up onto the middle rope and waits as Hardy fights up to his feet. Noble leaps off, but Hardy catches him in mid air, before dropping him with the SIDE EFFECT! Of course this brings a huge pope out of the crowd, as both men are down on the canvas. Hardy is the first to make his way up to his feet. He has to use the ropes to pull himself up to his feet, but as he pulls himself up to his feet, Hardy notices Helms on the top of the entrance ramp. Hardy begins to jaw with Helms, who just stares down at the ring. All of a sudden Noble rolls up Hardy from behind…1-2-Hardy kicks out after two. Helms doesn’t look impressed as he looks on from the stage.

    Hardy and Noble spring up to their feet. Noble goes for a quick clothesline but Hardy ducks out of the way and executes a knee to the gut, then drops a swinging neck breaker on Noble. Hardy explodes up to his feet, and screams out at the fans, giving his V1 sign. He turns towards Noble and waits for him to get up to his feet. Noble reaches his feet, and when he does, Hardy connects with a kick to the gut, followed by the TWIST OF FATE! 1-2-3! Hardy picks up the win. ‘Mattitude’ starts up as the fans go crazy. Hardy climbs to his feet, and immediately looks up at the entrance ramp, where Gregory Helms is still standing at the top of the entrance ramp, displeased with the out come of the match. Hardy stands in the center of the ring with his hand held high in victory.

    WINNER: MATT HARDY

    Rating: 72

    Michael Cole and JBL talk about how Gregory Helms and Matt Hardy have become rivals over the last few weeks and how their match at No Mercy will be one for the ages. The conversation quick turns to them going back to hyping up the main event, talking about Batista will finally get his hands on both Booker T and Fit Finlay.

    [-Are You Ready for Some TOOTHLESS AGGRESSION-]

    -‘Crippling Aggression’ starts up as the Chris Benoit emerges out onto the stage. The Georgia Dome goes bonkers as the hometown hero returns out onto the stage and makes his way down to the ring, slapping a few hands a long the way. Benoit rolls into the ring and takes his place in the center of the ring.-

    Chris Benoit: You know, it has been a long time since I have stepped foot inside this ring, so for me to make my return here in Atlanta, in the Georgia Dome is really big for me.

    -Major pop as Benoit sells out by going for the cheap pop and mentioning the home town.-

    Chris Benoit: And that isn’t me just dropping the home city’s name for a cheap pop. Anyone who has followed my career knows how special of an arena the Georgia Dome is to me, and as many of you know, I have been away the past couple of months healing up both physically and mentally. When I was away I told myself that I wasn’t going to come back unless I was going to come back 100% both physically and mentally. I have worked too damn hard to build a reputation as someone who leaves everything I have in this ring… to come back and give you fans anything but my best effort. So I told myself if I wasn’t able to be 100%, I wasn’t going to come back, however I have to tell you. I am feeling extremely well, and I would like to give it another go…

    -MAJOR pop from the fans as Chris Benoit announces his return to Smackdown. Benoit goes to speak some more, but is interrupted by ‘Cheese head’. The United States Champion, Ken Kennedy steps out onto the entrance ramp clapping. This brings a bag of mixed reaction from the crowd. Kennedy stops applauding and after readjusting his title belt over his shoulder, he pulls a mic out from his pocket.-

    Ken Kennedy: CHRIS BENOIT! It is great to hear you are coming back, but I have some bad news for you. You see, this isn’t the same Smackdown you left. This is a new day! John Cena is back on Smackdown. King Booker is the World Champion, and the man standing before you is the king of the United States Title division… Mr. Ken Kennedy!

    Chris Benoit: What are…..

    Ken Kennedy: KENNEDY!

    Chris Benoit: Actually it is a good thing you came out here. You see, I was about to say that I am going to return to action, and I was going to lay down an open challenge. Seeing how you have already choose to stuck your nose in my bussiness, I guess you wouldn’t mind stepping into the ring with me, and maybe putting that belt on the line?

    Ken Kennedy: Actually I would.

    Chris Benoit: Good! Then lets have the match right here!

    Ken Kennedy: Actually, I said I would… I would mind giving you a shot at the United States Title. See, I know you have been away for a long time, but I have accomplished a lot since I came here to Smackdown. I have main evented shows, and won championships. There isn’t much I haven’t done. I’ve proven I deserve to be where I am. You on the other hand, have just returned. So what type of champion would I be, if I handed over a title shot to you, when there are other more deserving people ahead of you!

    -The fans boo, as Chris Benoit doesn’t looked pleased with this at all.-

    Ken Kennedy: Plus, to be honest I think you may be ‘passed your prime’. I mean, you are getting a little gray headed, and as a champion I owe it to people to give them the best challenger I am find. So I have to say No, Chris. I just don’t believe you are worthy…. But as you like you say, you are more then welcome to try to PROVE ME WRONG!

    -Kennedy throws that cocky smirk out, and throws the title belt over his shoulder. The crowd lets out a loud chorus of boos, as Kenned blows them off, before leaving the ramp, and walking backstage, leaving Benoit in the ring disappointed.-

    Shane O'Mac's Commentary: What is Kennedy smoking? Seriously! Now don't get me wrong, no one is as big of a fan as Ken Kennedy as I am...well maybe expect Ken Kennedy himself, but to say that Chris Benoit hasn't proven enough to warrant a shot at the United States Championship is crazy!

    Rating: 89

    :: Fade to Commercial ::

    We come back to Michael Cole and JBL going on and on about Chris Benoit returning. Even JBL is giving Benoit his props on being one tough customer. JBL says that Kennedy has the right to pick who is challenger should be though, and that he is right that Benoit hasn’t proven he deserves a shot.

    Mark Henry vs Tatanka

    ‘Big Man’ starts up as Mark Henry steps out onto the entrance ramp. He is given a fair amount of heat from the crowd, though most really show no reaction at all to him. Henry doesn’t pay any attention to this, and plays off as if he is the baddest man on the planet. He makes his way down to the ring and rolls under the bottom rope. As he climbs on his feet you hear the classic Tatanka call, which brings a large amount of the arena to its feet. ‘War Music’ starts up as Tatanka explodes out from the curtains and charges down to the ring. He slides into the ring, and does his war dance before the match. Tatanka charges as the bell sounds at Mark Henry and delivers a hard knife edge chops, which really does nothing but irritate Henry. Tatanka falls back into the ropes and does for a second knife-edge chop, but this one has about the same amount of success as the previous one. Tatanka throws a punch towards Henry, who ducks it, and picks up Tatanka on his shoulders. Samoan Drop! Henry explodes up to his feet. He beats his chest like King Kong, before falling backwards into the ropes, then after a few steps of charging drops down on top of Tatanka with a body splash! 1-2-3! The bell sounds to end the match. Henry stands up and proceeds to beat his chest some more, as the fans who care boo the outcome.

    WINNER: MARK HENRY

    Rating: 59

    Shane O'Mac's Commentary: Sorry about this one folks.. :crying: I thought it would a good match to put over Mark Henry, but apparently I was as wrong as your local weatherman. To punish myself, I am forcing myself to skip watching "Lost" this week, and instead will watch this match seventeen times to ensure crap like this never happens again.

    -The World Champ Denounces Any and All Challengers to his Kingdom-

    -The scene fades backstage where new Smackdown interviewer Scott Taylor… formerly known as Scotty 2 Hotty, is standing next to Sharmell and the World Champion. King Booker has his World Title Belt draped over his shoulder, over that loud red cape, and crown that is only befitting a king.-

    Scotty Taylor: With me now at this time is none other then the World Champion, King Booker! Book, last week Bobby Lashley defeated the Kingdom’s own Fit Finlay to become the number one contender for the World Championship. What are your thoughts on now having to face Bobby Lashley at No Mercy?

    King Booker: Bobby Lashley ain’t no threat! I am a SIX TIME...SIX TIME...SIX TIME...SIX TIME...SIX TIME...SIX TIME... World Champion! Bobby Lashley ain’t no threat to me! Alls Bobby Lashley is, is a black version of Bill Goldberg and in case you didn’t know I beat that fool twice in one night. That’s right, sucka! I beat that fool… TWO TIMES…TWO TIMES in one night!

    Sharmell: Scotty, the King isn’t afraid at all of Bobby Lashley. In fact tonight, when the King steps into the ring, it will be obvious that Bobby Lashley will be the worst wrestler in that ring. I for one am disappointed that the greatest World Champion in Smackdown History…

    -As she says this, boos pour out in the arena.-

    Sharmell: … as I said… I for one am disappointed that the greatest World Champion in Smackdown history will have to waste his time with this joke of a wrestler, Bobby Lashley.

    King Booker: Bobby Lashley, listen up sucka! Tonight, you and that roided up punk Batista are going to get a reminder why King Booker is the World Champ… and you fools are nothing more then second class peasants!

    Rating: 83

    Michael Cole and JBL talk about the up coming match up between Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero. Michael Cole hits home the fact that this all started becasue of feelings caused by the passing of the late Eddie Guerrero. JBL says no matter why it started, it will end tonight. Garenteed!

    Chavo Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio

    OOOOOH CHAVOOOOO

    Chavo's music hits the arena, and out marches Chavo as the arena erupts into boos. Guerrero eats it up like cotton candy at a state fair, as he makes his way down to the ring. After sliding into the ring, he goes to do a pose, but ‘619’ cut off his music. Rey Mysterio explodes out from the entrance ramp as the arena gives him a pretty nice pop. Mysterio removes his shirt and tosses it into the stands, before charging down to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope to enter the ring. As soon as Rey enters the ring, Chavo kicks him while he is on the canvas to begin the match. Rey fights out of his, and rolls up onto his feet. He drills Chavo with a right hand, then another shot. Hip Toss! Chavo crashes into the canvas, as the fans seem to be really into the match. Chavo and Rey grapple up after Chavo climbs up to his feet, and it is the stronger, Guerrero who wins this battle sending Rey crashing into the mat with a hip toss of his own. Rey springs back to his feet, but as soon as he reaches his feet, Chavo levels him with a clothesline. Rey is stunned by this move, so Chavo is able to land a few kicks to the downed superstar. Chavo grabs Rey by the mask and pulls him up to his feet. Chavo lifts Rey up, and holds him for a stalling suplex. Rey begins to fight, and finally wiggles out, falling behind Chavo. Rey leaps into the air, and crashes down on top of Chavo with a bulldog, sending Chavo’s face straight into the canvas.

    Chavo and Rey both spring up to their feet at the same time. Chavo gives a desperate clothesline, but Rey is able to duck out of the way of it easily. Chavo turns right around to get drilled in the grill with a dropkick from Rey Mysterio. Chavo flies backwards hitting middle rope. Rey bounces off the far ropes then charges… 619! Rey lands on the apron as the ref moves in to check on Chavo. Rey stands on the apron, adrenaline pumping through his veins as he waits for Chavo to get back up to his feet, wanting to finish off this match, and emotion filled rivalry. Chavo begins to stir as the ref checks on him. Rey waits, however is grabbed from behind and powerbombed off the apron and onto the floor below! The crowd lets out a huge roar of disapproval as his attacker, Mark Henry, is shown. Henry beats his chest once more like King Kong, before falling on Rey Mysterio with that body splash, totally flattening Rey Mysterio. Henry picks up Rey and tosses him into the ring. Chavo pushes the ref out of the way and grabs Mysterio by the head, pulling his lifeless body up to his feet. Suplex! Chavo executes a suplex to Mysterio. He holds onto the move and twists his way up to his feet, much like his late uncle. Suplex! Once more, he twists onto his feet and executes a third SUPLEX! Chavo springs up to his feet and begins to do the classic Eddie strut. Chavo steps between the top and middle rope, and out onto the apron. He climbs to the top rope, and leaps off with the Frog Splash! Rey is totally motionless, as Chavo picks up the 1-2-3! The bell sounds as Chavo climbs to his feet. Boos pour out from the crowd. Chavo begins to celebrate, as he does his classic Eddy impersonation.

    After celebrating for a moment, Chavo pauses and points to Henry, acting as if he didn’t know he would be there. Henry beats his chest like King Kong once more, then points at Rey and tells him to bring it. Chavo kicks Rey, rolling him to Henry. Henry picks up Rey, and lifts him on his shoulders. He then hurls Rey Mysterio like a javelin head first into the STEEL STEPS! Rey crashes through the steps! Henry celebrates by beating his chest once more, as Chavo joins Henry on the outside. Chavo just shakes his head in disgust as he looks at Rey. Chavo then heads up the entrance ramp, by passing the medics that are rushing down to the ring to help Rey.

    WINNER: Chavo Guerrero

    Rating: 84

    Shane O'Mac's Commentary: We all knew this bitter fued between Chavo and Rey would end badly, but I don't know if anyone expected it to end like this. Rey Mysterio was damn near broken in half after being tossed into those steps. This situation is as confusion as a episode of "Lost". First off, why did Henry attack Rey? Secondly what is the condition of Rey Mysterio?

    :: Fade to Commercial ::

    -We return with Cole and JBL both in shock after what we witnessed before we went to the commerical break. JBL says that Rey Mysterio looked to be hurt bad, and Michael Cole assured the fans that they would pass along any news about Rey Mysterio's condition if they became available while they were still on the air.-

    [- The Animal is Preparing to be Unleased -]

    -The scene fades backstage, as we join Scott Taylor standing next to the ‘Animal’ Batista.-

    Scott Taylor: With me at this time is none other then the former World Champion, Batista. Dave, two weeks ago you appeared to be well on your way to recapturing the World Championship away from Booker, but it was Fit Finlay who attacked you and cost you the title. Afterwards he beat you down, leaving you bloodied. Tonight, you get a chance at revenge at both Finlay and King Booker when you team up with Bobby Lashley in tag team action. Any thoughts?

    Batista: Any thoughts? THE MAN BEAT ME TO A BLOODIED PULP! HE MADE ME TASTE MY OWN BLOOD! And you know what?

    -Batista grabs Taylor by the collar and slams him up against against the wall, before getting in his face with a look of total intensity.-

    Batista: I LOVED EVERY MOMENT OF IT!

    -Taylor’s expression is classic. It does from total fright, to bewilderment, without losing an ounce of the fright. Classic. -

    Batista: I haven’t been beaten like that in a long time. It has been awhile since anyone has thrown a beating like that my way, and to be honest with you… that beating was the best thing for me. I’ve become timid. I’ve become passive… almost tame. That beating… that reminder of what my own blood taste like…. It reminded me of what I have to do to be the ANIMAL that I once was. Tonight, I unleash that Animal on Fit Finlay and the World Champion…

    -Batista lets go of Taylor and stomps towards the ring. Taylor is left totally shocked and scared, but thankful that he survived the interview.-

    -Main Event-

    "The World Champion" King Booker & Fit Finlay vs Bobby Lashley & Dave Batista

    ‘King of the Moment’ starts up as Fit Finlay, Sharmell, and the World Champion Booker T emerge from the back and make their way down to the ring. They take their spot at center stage as Sharmell removes Booker’s crown, then the Champ places his belt in the corner. Finlay takes that damn stick of his, and puts it in the corner as well. The crowd rises to their feet as ‘One Man Army’ starts up and out marches Bobby Lashley. The pyros go off as Lashley makes his way down to the bottom of the entrance ramp, and waits on his tag team partner for the evening. ‘Animal Unleashed’ starts up as Dave Batista emerges out onto the stage, receiving the biggest pop of the night. Batista does his classic posses on each side of the entrance ramp, before joining Bobby Lashley at the bottom of the entrance ramp. Both enter the ring at the same time, forcing Finlay and Booker to remain in their corner. Lashley and Batista discuss, and decide that Lashley should start. With this choice made, Finlay emerges from his corner to begin the match.

    The bell sounds and this match is underway. The two lock up, and it is the powerhouse Lashley who easily wins the grapple and throws Finlay to the canvas. The Irishman doesn’t like this one bit and after pulling himself off the canvas, gives a shove to Lashley. The two lock up again, and this time neither is able to get an advantage, thus forcing a break. As soon as the break happens, Finlay rakes the eyes of Lashley, then follows it up with a knee to the gut. Lashley is hurt by this sudden attack, and Finlay uses it to his advantage as he tosses the number one contender into his corner. He delivers a stiff knee to the gut, as the World Champion tags himself in, seemly wanting a piece of the number one contender. Booker T sizes up Lashley and delivers a back elbow to the head of Lashley. Lashley falls out from the corner and Booker T gives Lashley a hip toss. Lashley lands on his feet! The crowd explodes as the number one contender lands on his feet, flipping head over heels. This catches the champion totally off guard, and allows Lashley to deliver a right hand for the ages! The Champ is stunned, as Lashley delivers a second shot! The crowd is now totally behind Lashley as he lands in a third shot, before exploding with a clothesline that send the champion down! Lashley stays forward and gives Finlay an elbow for good measure, sending him off the apron. Lashley waits for Booker to get up to his feet, and once the Champ does, he explodes looking for the SPEAR! Booker is able to side step this however and sends Lashley crashing into his own corner. Booker is pleased with himself after getting out of the way and pats himself on the back, as his wife, Sharmell applauses from the outside. Lashley reaches up and tags in BATISTA! The crowd explodes as Batista enters the ring. He charges Booker, and just as the champ turns around he drills him with a hard clothesline! The place explodes as Batista grabs Booker by the threads, and pulls him up to his feet, before sending him into the ropes… SPINEBUSTER! Batista has exploded on the World Champion in the match.

    Booker is in a world of hurt, as Batista stalks the World Champion slowly making his way up to his feet. Wait a minute! Fit Finlay rolls into the ring with that damn stick! Finlay swings at Batista, but… SPEAR!!!! Lashley explodes out of no where with a spear on Finlay! Batista looks over his shoulder and gives a smirk, then extends his arms outwards in each direction. The crowd cheers, but instead of dropping the thumbs, he points towards Lashley. Lashley crotches down and waits for Booker to reach his feet. Lashley explodes with a SPEAR out of no where, that cuts the Champion right in half! Lashley makes the cover…1-2-3! The bell sounds as the number one contender has now picked up a victory over the World Champion! Lashley climbs to his feet and the first person to congratulate him is none other then Dave Batista, who ends up raising his hand in victory. Lashley looks down at the World Champion, with his hand raised as the scene fades out on Smackdown.

    WINNER: Bobby Lashley and Dave Batista

  6. Smackdown: The Next Chapter

    in The Dome Retro Room

    Posted · Edited by MikelSweeten

    -We fade in to post Monday Night Raw, where Vince is sitting down in his office talking with Hunter and Stephanie. Shane O’Mac enters the room, and all three locks eyes with him, giving him a look of sympathy after hearing the bad news from Vince, that the Rock decided not to come back to the WWE. –

    Stephanie McMahon: Shane, I’m sorry.

    Hunter: Yeah man. So am I. Tell you what, if you want I will call Bill Goldberg tomorrow personally and try to get him to come back on board. I doubt it would do much good since we aren't exactly best of friends but…

    Shane O’Mac: Nah, you don’t have too.

    Hunter: It would be the least I could do bro. You really seemed to want this. I’m just sorry it won’t happen now that Dwayne… the prick turned us down again.

    Vince McMahon: Shane… I’m proud of you. I really am. You took the situation by the horns on this and tried your best to fix the situation. You acted just like a McMahon.

    Hunter: Only you didn’t walk all goofy like your dad.

    -For like the tenth time in this diary, Hunter is elbowed in the side by his wife. This doesn’t stop him from laughing, nor does it stop Shane from cracking a smirk either.-

    Vince McMahon: I guess I will go ahead and first thing tomorrow call the network to tell them that we will cancel Smackdown in December…

    Shane McMahon: Not as long as I have something to say about it….

    -Shane pulls out the contract from inside his jacket and tosses it on the table between the three McMahons. They all look at the paper in shock. The scene focuses in on the signature of ‘THE ROCK’. Shane cracks that cocky smirk of his and leaves the room triumphanty, as the three remain in shock staring at the signature on the contract.-

    -Present Day-

    Ok here is the deal. This is going to be a diary that is just focusing on Smackdown. I am going to try and pick up where the WWE left off. This diary was started a few days before Unforgiven™, and playing off that Edge retained the WWE Championship, thus forcing John Cena to sign a Smackdown contract. Of course in real life this didn't happen, but for storyline purposes, it did in this diary. Other then that, I will try to keep most things that the WWE are doing at this time, so that it is much more believable then coming in and starting over from scratch. Some things I may get rid of within a few weeks, while others I may keep for a few months. I am not promising to keep every single detail, but don’t expect major things like Eric Bischoff or Paul Heyman to be the new GM, and Joey Styles and Tazz being the new commentary crew. We are going to keep everything pretty much in line, though as the diary progresses the face of Smackdown may, and probably will change as well.

    Also as you read from the backstory/introduction… I am going to play this diary as if the Rock is returning full time. I know this is unrealistic, and from my experience with my last diary I know some people don’t really like the idea of having things happen that they perceive to be unrealistic happen in a diary. So I am warning you up front, if you draw a line in the sand and refuse to enjoy ideas such as this, then this diary won’t be for you. The Rock is my personal favorite wrestler of all time, and since I don’t have the ablity to watch him in a wrestling ring anymore, this is my way of getting to experience him wrestling again, at least to a minor degree. If that is a turn off for you, I understand, but please don’t spam up this diary with hate over his use being ‘unrealistic’. I did my best to give a reasonable explanation why the Rock would leave Hollywood and come back to the WWE. I know it is far fetched, but bringing him back is something I really wanted to do with the diary, and by doing so I needed to give at least an explanation as to why he would walk away from a career in Hollywood.

    That will probably be my only major thing that separates this from being a strictly Smackdown carbon copy diary. I’m not going to do anything over the top wacky like have the WWE sign Jeff Jarrett, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and Bryan Danielson all within a month, however I’m not saying that any of those superstar may not be apart of Smackdown down the line. Well Jarrett won’t, but any of the rest could very honestly end up on Smackdown, however I want to establish the current stars on Smackdown at this moment so any new introductions to the roster from either Raw/ECW, or outside the company will be made at a much later date.

    -We fade in to post Monday Night Raw, where Vince is sitting down in his office talking with Hunter and Stephanie. Shane O’Mac enters the room, and all three locks eyes with him, giving him a look of sympathy after hearing the bad news from Vince, that the Rock decided not to come back to the WWE. –

    Stephanie McMahon: Shane, I’m sorry.

    Hunter: Yeah man. So am I. Tell you what, if you want I will call Bill Goldberg tomorrow personally and try to get him to come back on board. I doubt it would do much good since we aren't exactly best of friends but…

    Shane O’Mac: Nah, you don’t have too.

    Hunter: It would be the least I could do bro. You really seemed to want this. I’m just sorry it won’t happen now that Dwayne… the prick turned us down again.

    Vince McMahon: Shane… I’m proud of you. I really am. You took the situation by the horns on this and tried your best to fix the situation. You acted just like a McMahon.

    Hunter: Only you didn’t walk all goofy like your dad.

    -For like the tenth time in this diary, Hunter is elbowed in the side by his wife. This doesn’t stop him from laughing, nor does it stop Shane from cracking a smirk either.-

    Rock: Shane O’Mac! How’s it hanging my brother from another mother?

    Shane McMahon: Wow. The movie star still remembers my name. I’m honored.

    Rock: Ah, you know me. No matter how big of a movie star I become, I’ll always remember the little people.

    -The Rock pats Shane on the head, as he cracks that huge smirk of his.-

    Shane McMahon: Well you know, some people are born with muscles, others with loads of cash.

    Rock: You got me there. I’m hood rich, but I ain’t got nothing on you there, my man.

    Shane McMahon: And your wife says other places too.

    -The two exchange shots, obviously showing chemistry of a solid friendship.-

    Rock: So tell me, what brings you here to the movie set?

    Shane McMahon: I have something I want to talk to you about.

    Rock: Let me guess… you want me to come back to the ring?

    -Shane looks at Rock, obviously disappointed that his purpose is that obvious.-

    Shane McMahon: Am I that obvious?

    Rock: Actually, your old man hit me up with a call this morning. He gave me the forewarning.

    Shane McMahon: Oh he did…. I’m gonna kill him.

    Rock: Nah, he is only doing what he thinks is best. You know I would walk through fire for your old man.

    Shane McMahon: I wouldn’t say that too loudly. He may hear it, and ask you to do it just to hold you to your word. … anyways, can you give me a minute, anyways? At least let me give you this sales pitch I have worked on as I crossed the country.

    Rock: Ok, my man. But I am warning you… it won’t do any good.

    -The two sit down. The Rock sits down in his chair, unknowingly Shane sits down in the chair marked ‘Samuel L. Jackson’.-

    Shane McMahon: Be honest Rock, why did you leave wrestling?

    Rock: I have told you guys before…. I achieved everything I wanted.

    Shane McMahon: Really? Because I heard you say that you wanted to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time, not just prove you had the ablity to possible be.

    Rock: Come on Shane. I’m a six time World Champion. That’s more then Hogan. I’ve headlined Wrestlemania as many times as Hogan, hell I even faced him once at Wrestlemania. There isn’t anything in that ring I haven’t done.

    Shane McMahon: How about lead the company?

    Rock: What?

    Shane McMahon: Be honest Rock, you were never the ‘man’. You even admit yourself. That’s why you and Hunter have never seen eye to eye. Despite the fact that you were every bit the wrestler he was, and despite the fact you sold ten times what he did, and drew in a hundred times more then he did, he was still considered the man backstage. That bothered you, didn’t it.

    Rock: A little, but it wasn’t the reason I left.

    Shane McMahon: No, it wasn’t the main reason, but it played a bigger part then you will admit.

    -Obviously growing irrated, the Rock interrupts Shane. -

    Rock: Shane, get to your point.

    Shane McMahon: My point is that. You’ve never been given the chance to be the main star, the franchise of the roster. On Smackdown, you will be the man. You will be able to become what you said you wanted to be… the greatest wrestler of all time.

    Rock: You know Shane, that’s all nice and jazz, but I have a good life here. I am making a ton more money doing a lot less work, and I have the ablity to do this for ten years.

    Shane McMahon: You have the ablity to wrestle into your mid 40. Your style is very safe Rock. Hell, Flair is still wrestling and he is in his 50s. Same with Hogan. You have a lot better chance of having a long term career in the WWE.

    Rock: That may be, but the money is nice brother. Cashing those million dollar checks are fun.

    Shane McMahon: Come on Rock. We aren’t giving out food stamps. I talked with my dad, and he agreed to bump up your pay rate to 250,000 a month. That’s 20% more then you were making before… and that’s 3 million dollars a year. Pro rate that over ten, twenty years and you will make just as much as you would in Hollywood. Plus, after your done with wrestling you will leave the greatest professional wrestler of our time. Here in Hollywood, even if you achieve massive success, like Stalone or Arnold, you will only be a trivia question answer.

    Rock: Shane, you did a good job but…

    Shane McMahon: And what about your little girl? How long have you been on this set? Three weeks? You aren’t suppose to go home for another two I hear. Little kids grow a lot in five weeks, my man.

    Rock: Come on now… you are talking to me about schedule. You guys travel 300 days a year.

    Shane McMahon: You won’t. We’ll fly you in on Monday, and home on Wednesday. You’ll get to see your little girl four days out of the week. You’ll be at home to see your Hurricanes play every week, and more importantly you will be home every single weekend we don’t have a pay per view. Rock, we’ve never offered someone this type of deal before, for this type of cash. This is really a deal of a lifetime.

    Rock: You aren’t pulling my chain or anything. I’d only work three days. I would get to be at home with my little girl four days out of the week?

    Shane McMahon: On every week expect pay per view weeks, where you would obviously need to be with us Saturday through Wednesday. But yes, other then that expection the deal is what it is.

    Rock: And I’ll have control over my character and storyline. Hunter won’t screw me over in any way.

    Shane McMahon: Rock, Hunter won’t have an ounce of power on Smackdown. In fact, I even give you a seat at our weekly meetings.

    Rock: It would be nice to be able to spend more time with my little girl. Tell you what white bread. Give me a few hours to think about it. I’ll make sure you get back on that plane with your answer, I promise. I just need to think about this some.

    DATELINE: September 18, 2006

    It is Monday Morning, and things are a little tense around WWE Headquarters. The reason is that there is an ‘emergency meeting’ called for this morning with all major figureheads within the company. Now admittingly, sometimes these things are over blown. Vince has a tenancy to make a mountain out of an anthill at times, but I suppose the name ‘emergency’ still brings a certain amount of uncertainty. Needlesss to say things are tense, since Vince McMahon called an emergency meeting the night after their Raw "Unforgiven" pay per view...

    The Previous Night...

    • unforgiven06.jpg

    DARK MATCH: Super Crazy defeated Shelton Benjamin..

    INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Johnny Nitro w/Melina Perez defeated Jeff Hardy to retain.. Melina took a bump on the apron and "injured" her ankle -- she then whacked Jeff Hardy with her boot!

    BACKSTAGE: Matt Hardy consoled Jeff Hardy until Lita showed up to insult Matt and call him a loser!

    GRUDGE MATCH: Umaga w/Armando Alejandro Estrada vs Kane ended in a No Contest..

    TAG TITLE MATCH: The Spirit Squad (Mikey & Kenny) defeated The Highlanders to retain.. Johnny, Nicky and Mitch continually interfered for the Spirit Squad during the match..

    HELL IN A CELL MATCH: DX (Triple H & Shawn Michaels) defeated The McMahons & The Big Show.. The finish of the match was DX pulling The Big Show pants down and making Vince kiss his giant ass! Shawn Michaels super-kicked Vince McMahon and Triple H hit him with a sledge hammer shot and got the pin..

    WOMENS TITLE MATCH: Trish Stratus (retirement match) defeated Lita to win the WWE Women's title! Trish Stratus won by making Lita submit to the Sharp-shooter to capture her seventh WWE Women's championship! Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler gave Trish Stratus a standing ovation and Lilian Garcia was brought to tears..

    GRUDGE MATCH: Randy Orton (suffered a bloody mouth) defeated Carlito Cool...

    WWE TITLE TLC MATCH: Edge w/Lita defeated John Cena to retain the WWE Championship! Super spotfest with tons of bumps that is the tradition for Tables & Ladders & Chairs matches.... The finish saw John Cena attempt to F-U Edge through a pair of stacked tables.... However Edge would reverse the move and nail Cena with an Edgacution through the tables! The arena went berzerk as Edge emerged from the debris and grabbed the belt to win! As a result, Cena must move to Smackdown!

    And that's a wrap folks...

    ~The rumor mill has been going into over drive about the real reason Ric Flair was taking off of the air. At Saturday Night Main Event, Ric Flair approached the company, and after admitting to have a problem with his drinking problem, he in formed the company that he was going to need some time off to recovery from this illness. Flair's job is in no means in jeapordy. We wish him the best of luck during these dark days for him, and look forward to the day when he can grace the ring one more time.

    ~On a different note, the Poster for Backlash has been released and features the WWE Champion, Triple H.

    IPB Image

    ~Mark Henry has been released. Many have seen this day coming after Henry butchered what many consider to be the Undertaker's last Wrestlemania match. The final straw was probably at Raw when he failed to sell Dave Batista. Henry was approached with the desire to move him down to the OVW, but he elected instead to break from the company.

    ~The WWE also announces that the company has signed former Tough Enough Winners Miss Jackie and Maven! They are being sent to the OVW for a few weeks, but expect them in the WWE very shortly.

    ~As many sites have been reporting, JBL suffered a back injury the week before Saturday Night Main Event. He has been working through this but if the condition worsens he will require surgery.

    RAW PREVIEW: May 15, 2006

    Last week the fans of WWE Aggression heard that the sixteen time World Champion, Ric Flair would he sidelined for a long time after the brutal attack at the hands of Triple H. The WWE Champion used Flair’s injury to one up John Cena last week. What will the Doctor of Thuganomics do this week to counter? What will HBK do now that things between him and Cena have been PERSONAL?

    In other action, last week Kane turned his back on Big Show last week, leaving him to be defeated in the ring. The Big Show is still out, however Kane will be in the house. Will he offer some insight into why he turned his back on his tag team partner, and more importantly a shot at the World Tag Team Championships? Plus at the request of John Bradshaw Layfield, he will go one on one with The Rock!

    Plus Chris Benoit puts his title on the line against Booker T, and More!

    Raw 08 May 06 – ‘Get Your Payback On! ’

    Jim Ross: Welcome everybody to Raw! What a great show we have in store for you!

    Tazz: J-R I just can’t get over how we started off last week my man. Flair getting tossed off that stage. I just can’t get that image out of my head.

    Jim Ross: That was a scary situation. No one really knows the status of Ric Flair, even his tag team partner John Cena. However whether Flair is here or not, that match will continue.

    Tazz; Yeah, if Flair isn’t here, Cena has to go it alone, which ain’t good.

    -Welcome to Randy’s Reign. -

    ‘Medal’ starts up as Kurt Angle storms out. He shows his ice-cold focus, as he doesn’t even pause for the pyros to go off. He rolls into the ring and pulls out a microphone.

    Kurt Angle: Randy Orton, get your butt out here RIGHT NOW!

    Tazz: You gotta love how Kurt Angle gets right to the point.

    Kurt Angle: Randy Orton, you get your ass out here right now, or I am going to go back there and drag you out here!

    ‘Mercy Drive’ starts up as the World Champion and Staci Keibler walk out they walk down to the ring, but obviously not dressed for battle.

    Randy Orton: Let me guess you want another shot?

    Kurt Angle: You’re damn right I do!

    Randy Orton: Well tough. You already got your shot, and I beat you. What do you think? Just because you won a gold medal… how long has it been ten years now… that it entitles you to endless amounts of title shots? Kurt get over it. You lost.

    Kurt Angle: Get over it? You want me to get over it?

    Randy Orton: Yes you need too…

    WACK! Angle drills Orton in the face! Angle hits him again! A third shot sends Orton to the canvas. He rolls out of the ring, and him and Keibler reunited at the bottom of the entrance ramp.

    Randy Orton: What the hell is your problem!

    Tazz: I don’t think Kurt is going to take no for an answer.

    Randy Orton: You want a shot so bad? Then earn one! Tonight beat someone good.

    Kurt Angle: You want me to wrestle in a number one contender’s match? That’s fine, just name my opponent.

    Randy Orton: Alright let me think….

    Staci Keibler whispers something in his ear.

    Randy Orton: I like that. Yeah, Kurt you are going to face someone later tonight, but I won’t tell you! Just get ready!

    Jim Ross: What the hell?

    Tazz: Orton ain’t gonna tell Kurt who he has to face tonight!

    Jim Ross: That isn’t right at all dammit!

    Orton walks off with a smirk as Angle is furious!

    Non-Title Match: Reverend Malcolm vs Chavo Guerrero

    As soon as the bell sounds ‘Punk’d’ starts up and CM Punk walks out to the ring and joins Ross and Tazz at ringside. Chavo takes advantage of this and dominates the early going, even hitting his old finisher a DDT off the top rope. However when that didn’t get the victory, Chavo complained too long and turned the momentum in the match. When Tazz asked Punk why he was down here, he said to get a birds eye view of this ‘Malcolm’. He said that last week it felt as if he had been in the ring with him before. As Punk is saying this, Reverend Malcolm is taking it too the Cruiserweight Champion. He lands a huge springboard leg drop, but can not pick up the three count. Reverend Malcolm soon later hits the double arm DDT, and as soon as he executes this move CM Punk explodes from behind the table. He pulls Reverend out of the ring and throws him into the ring post, ending this match.

    Winner: No Contest

    Match Quality Rating: 88

    Reverend Malcolm falls down in front of the announce table. CM Punk circles him for a moment before beginning to rip off the mask of Reverend Malcolm. Chavo baseball slides right into Punk, breaking this up. The two begin to fight. They exchange punches for a little bit until Chavo backs off. Punk backs up, and backs right into a low blow from Malcolm! Punk slumps over. RITES OF PASSAGE! Reverend Malcolm rips off the mask to reveal himself to the Christopher Daniels!

    Jim Ross: Oh my lord!

    Tazz: Holy Shit! That has been Daniels all along!

    Daniels stands over Punk for the longest time, as the crowd is in total shock at what they just witnessed.

    Tazz: Do you believe that JR?

    Jim Ross: That never even crossed my mind. I am totally shocked. Christopher Daniels was Reverend Malcolm!

    -Hassan Knows Racism When He Sees It-

    ‘Won’t Back Down’ starts up as Muhammad Hassan walk out to a loud thunderous ovation of boos and jeers. He walks out and down to the ring with his manager Daivari.

    Muhammad Hassan:: You people make me sick! If I were as white as all of you people you would be cheering me! You would be praising me for how I looked death square in the eye at Saturday Night Main Event against the Undertaker.

    Jim Ross: I don’t like this kid, but I will give him that.

    Muhammad Hassan: Instead you are laughing at my failure! You cheered as the Deadman chokeslammed me yet again into the canvas. You probably wanted him to try to end my career again, didn’t you?

    Cheer!

    Muhammad Hassan:: Racist! Racist! All of you! You are all racist! I am the most dis…

    Can You Dig It Sucka!

    The crowd cheers as ‘Dig It’ starts up and out walks Booker T.

    Booker T: So let me get this straight. Being a black man, I would have no idea how it feels to be discriminated against huh?

    Daivari: My brother, don’t you see! He is speaking on behalf of brothers like you.

    Booker T: What did you just call me?

    Daivari: Brother. Isn’t that what you type like call yourself?

    Booker T: My time? Tell me you didn’t just say that?

    Daivari: TELL ME! You didn’t just say that!

    Muhammad Hassan: Excuse Daivari, he didn’t mean anything by it.

    Booker T: Good…

    Muhammad Hassan: But I do…

    Hassan drills Booker with a clothesline! Booker falls to the canvas but picks himself right back up. Daivari explodes with a superkick sending Booker crashing to the canvas. Muhammad moves over and locks in the camel clutch on Booker T! Daivari gets in his face and begins to scream at him, even slapping him in the face.

    Jim Ross: This is totally disrespectful. He is literally slapping the man in the face!

    Tazz: Booker is getting totally punked JR!

    Kane/Big Show vs Carlito/Masters

    Kane and Big Show dominated this match really from the opening bell. Carlito and Masters never had an answer for their size. Kane hits a huge double clothesline off the top rope to both Carlito and Masters. He makes the tag to Big Show. Show executes a double headbutt. As this happens, Torrie Wilson and Sean Morley start to make their way down to the ring. This distracts Kane who turns around, as does Big Show. Carlito uses this and drills Big Show. Masters joins him and the two men toss Big Show into the ropes, and right into Kane! Kane falls to the floor! Big Show explodes however with a double clothesline! He signals for the end. He grabs Masters and pulls him up to his feet. Kane begins to stir on the outside. Big Show lifts Masters up into the air, CHOKESLAM! Kane spins the Big Show around, CHOKESLAM! Kane chokeslams his partner! Kane rolls out of the ring. Carlito rolls into the ring and covers Big Show. 1-2-3!

    Winner: Carlito and Chris Masters!!!

    Match Quality Rating: 73

    -You Don’t Always Get What You Want-

    ‘Submissive’ starts up as Samoa Joe walks out onto the entrance ramp. He makes his way down to the ring as the fans cheer for this new superstar.

    Samoa Joe: All of you know why I am down here, so I am not going to waste time explaining it. Edge, get down here and accept my challenge you scumbag.

    ‘See Clearly’ starts up as the pyros go off. The place explodes as Edge walks out onto the entrance ramp with his lovely sex kitten (Ha) Lita.

    Edge: Yeah? What do you want?

    Samoa Joe: …

    Edge: I know. I know. You want an answer to your little challenge. I just have a question for you tubby, what is in it for me? Because if my memory serves me correctly the last time I stepped into the ring with you, I came out victorious? Why would I step into the ring with you again?

    Samoa Joe: To prove you can win a match on your own. That is why I am challenging you to a cage match!

    Jim Ross: A Cage Match!

    Tazz: I like the sounds of that one JR!

    Edge: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! A cage match! You have to be loco! There isn’t any way I am stepping into a cage with you. Unlike you, my career has an upside.

    Boo!

    Edge: Boo all you want, you aren’t seeing me climb into a cage anytime soon. No Way.

    Samoa Joe: What’s the matter Edge? Having a sudden case of the …*BEEP*

    Cheer!

    Edge: What the hell are you? Three? Can’t you get a point across without getting censored?

    Samoa Joe: Edge, I am not out here to socialize. Just accept my damn challenge so I can go ahead and kick your ass.

    Cheer!

    Edge: Fine! You want an answer! Go to Hell! No!

    Boo!

    Edge tosses the mic down and storms off. Samoa Joe looks on confused.

    Jim Ross: What the hell?

    Tazz: He said no?

    IC Title Match: ©Shelton Benjamin vs Matt Hardy

    Matt Hardy really took the fight right to Shelton Benjamin. Hardy hit a SIDE EFFECT early in the match that seemed to derail the Champ for most of the match. Shelton was finally able to turn the corner in the match when he caught Hardy with a superkick out of nowhere. Shelton made the cover. 1-2-KICKOUT! Shelton couldn’t believe it! He thought he had the match won. Shelton continued to dominate the match for the next few minutes, but Hardy executed a jawbreaker seemly out of nowhere. Hardy made the cover, 1-2-KICKOUT! Hardy climbed to the middle rope, but when he dove off, Shelton sprung up to his feet. He caught Matt Hardy in mid air, and dropped him with the T-Bone Suplex! 1-2-3!

    Winner: And STILL Intercontinental Champion, Shelton Benjamin!

    Match Quality Rating: 97

    -HHH gloats about what he did to Flair, hypes handicap Match-

    All Hail the King of Kings!

    ‘King of Kings’ starts up as Triple H walks out onto the entrance ramp with the WWE Championship. The crowd is booing him crazy as he walks down to the ring.

    ‘The Game’ Triple H: Boo all you want, it won’t change the fact that I am still the WWE Champion.

    HHH smirks as he throws the belt over his shoulder, totally playing the crowd.

    ‘The Game’ Triple H:: I don’t know if anyone here got to see Raw last week, but in case you missed it, lets just Space Mountain is out of service… permanently!

    Boo!

    ‘The Game’ Triple H:: That’s right! I just got a call from Shane telling me that my match with Ric Flair is off. Something about an accident last week, and now he has a broken leg? I don’t know what happened there?

    Jim Ross: Come on!

    Tazz: He is a straight killer, JR.

    ‘The Game’ Triple H: So I guess Johnny boy. You are going to fight all by yourself tonight. Too bad, because…

    ‘Our Time Is Now’ starts up as John Cena explodes through the curtain with mic in hand he makes his way down to the ring.

    John Cena: Don’t get it twisted, I got no problem going toe to toe with you and HBK, but what you did to Flair man… that was just wrong.

    ‘The Game’ Triple H: And I feel really bad about that too.

    Jim Ross: Sure he does!

    John Cena: You know you aren’t half as good you think you are.

    ‘The Game’ Triple H: And you suck twice as much as these people already believe you do! Come on kid, what’s next? Are we going to sit out here and trade ‘Ya Mamma’ jokes with that kid from ‘That 70s Show’? Seriously? You see that is the difference between you and me John. You talk a big game. I am walk a big game. I…

    John Cena explodes with a right hand! The Champ crashes to the canvas.

    Jim Ross: Go get you some! John Cena is doing a lot of WALKING right now! He is walking a mudhole right through The Game!

    John Cena vs HHH and HBK

    Cena and Triple H are already battling in the ring. Shawn Michaels rushes down to the ring and joins Hunter in beating down on Cena. As HHH said, Flair isn’t in the building tonight, so this will be a handicap match. Cena fights back knocking HHH out of the ring. He then turns his attention towards HBK and takes the fight to him. However HHH rolls back into the ring and the two former friends begin to double team Cena. They both stomp away at him on the canvas. The ref forces them to back up, so they obey. Cena fights to his feet, but is totally disoriented. John Cena staggers right into a SUPERKICK! Cena crashes to the canvas. Triple H screams at Cena to get up. Cena finally does and when he does, Hunter drops him with the pedigree! Hunter makes the cover 1-2-3!

    Winner: HBK and Triple H

    Match Quality Rating: 82

    -What We Gotz Here is a Bunch of Turncoats!-

    ‘The Dallas Theme’ starts up as John Bradshaw Layfield emerges from the back and makes his way down to the ring.

    JBL: The moment of truth has arrived. I came out here last week and challenged Hulk Hogan PUBLICLY to meet me in this ring. I would give him the time to show up, but we all know that he isn’t here. He is probably off shooting some more scenes for his reality show, or promoting his talentless daughter…

    ‘Real American’ starts up as the roof blows off the place. Hulk Hogan makes his way down to the ring as JBL is in a total state of shock. Hogan enters the ring, but the place is going bonkers with ‘Hogan, Hogan, Hogan’ chants.

    JBL: You showed up!

    Hulk Hogan: You are darn right I showed up brother. I wasn’t about to let a chump like you punk out the Hulkster brother!

    JBL is still shocked that Hogan came out. He is totally caught off guard.

    JBL: I still can’t believe you showed up. After all it is totally against your character to do anything that doesn’t beneficent you. What’s the matter? Is your reality show about to start up again?

    Hulk Hogan: What’s your problem brother? What is your beef with the Hulkster? Is it just jealousy?

    JBL: Ha! Jealous! Nothing could be farther from the truth. I hate you! I hate everything you stand for! I hate the fact that your name is associated with this profession that I love so greatly. In my eyes you are nothing more then a black eye to his bussiness!

    Jim Ross: This just isn’t right.

    Hulk Hogan: Well you know..

    JBL: You let me finish! How dare you walk around this company like it is your own little promotional circuit? You used this bussiness for twenty years and I am sick and tired of everyone being forced to kiss your ass! Every single time you didn’t get your way, you ran off to Hollywood. Then after your movie flopped, you would come running back to the wrestling bussiness.

    Tazz: Ouch, JBL going a little personal here JR.

    JBL: There these fans would accept you with open arms. After awhile people would forget about how bad of an actor you are, and another movie role would pop up. Yet again, you turned your back on these fans, only to return after your movie flopped again! I don’t know what is more pathetic the movie makers in Hollywood who keep giving you movie roles, or these fans for keeping accepting you after you turn your backs on them.

    Hulk Hogan: Just hold it right there brother! You don’t know a damn thing, so if I were you I would shut your mouth before I shut it for you!

    Jim Ross: You tell him Hulkster!

    JBL: Come on Hogan. Give it up. No one in their right mind believes that you still posses ANY talent. There isn’t a soul in that locker room who believes that you still has what it takes to lace up those boots. You…

    IF YA SMELL… WHAT THE ROCK… IS COOKIN!

    Jim Ross: OH MY LORD! OH MY LORD! The ROCK! THE ROCK IS HERE!

    Tazz: Now there is someone who I bet still thinks the Hulkster has a few gallons still left in the tank.

    The Rock makes his way down to the ring. JBL is totally shocked.

    The Rock: Who in the blue hell are you?

    JBL: I am Bradshaw dammit!

    The Rock: IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!

    Cheer!

    The Rock: But Bradshaw you say? Aren’t you that goofy jabroni who walked around here with a cowboy a few years back?

    JBL: That was me. I was part of the greatest tag team of all time, the APA.

    The Rock: And what happened to that team?

    JBL: We broke up.

    The Rock: You mean you sold him out.

    JBL: Now wait a minute!

    “You Sold Out, You Sold Out”.

    The Rock: So you didn’t sell him out? So let me get this straight, Hogan can go take a break from wrestling and film movies… movies that his fans will be able to see him in, thus still getting to enjoy his talents. When was the last time you teamed up with your old tag partner?

    JBL: It was a long time ago, but….

    The Rock: And the reason is? You sold him out! If anyone in this ring knows a thing or two about selling out it is the goofy looking bastard in the monkey suit!

    Cheer!

    JBL: Now you listen here! You are lucky that I don’t beat both of your asses right here!

    The Rock: You could beat me and Hulk? Together? As a team?

    JBL: You are damn right I could, you no talent bastard!

    The Rock: Then I guess it is official, if Hogan can find time in his scdeule, then how about at Backlash you take on the Hulkster and myself in a handicap match?

    Cheer!

    JBL: Now wait a damn minute!

    Jim Ross: What the matter JBL? A case of the limber tail?

    You’re a P*****Y. You’re a P*****Y.

    JBL: Fine! I agree! I can beat both of your asses! Hell I’ll do it right now!

    JBL lunges and goes for the Clothesline from Hell. Rock pushes Hogan out of the way, and lets Bradshaw bounce off the ropes. SPINEBUSTER! Bradshaw is rocked! The Rock gets up for the Elbow Drop. He gives JBL a kick, but Hogan moves in. He taps the Rock on the shoulder and points to him. The Rock has a smile as the crowd loves it. Hogan bounces off the ropes, then bounces off the other ropes…. PEOPLE’S ELBOW!

    Jim Ross: Do you believe what we just witnessed!

    Tazz: Yeah, the beginning of the end for JBL.

    Jim Ross: It couldn’t happen to a better guy.

    #1 World Title Contender’s Match: Kurt Angle vs The Undertaker

    The match starts out with Angle really taking it to the Deadman early on. Angle exploded with rights and lefts, however the Deadman fires back with some fists of his own. The crowd is loving this as two of the most beloved stars in the WWE are going at it. Angle goes for a running clothesline but Taker knocks him out with a boot to the face! 1-KICKOUT! Taker has to work on Angle some more and does over the next few minutes. He dominates the next few minutes of the match. Angle appears to be moments away from losing. The Undertaker walks the ropes. Old School! No! Angle reversed it! Angle Slam! Angle Slam! 1-2-KICKOUT! Angle is shocked as the Deadman kicks out of his finisher. Angle beats the mat in frustration. Angle lifts Taker up. Deadman explodes with a Chokeslam! This one may be over! Undertaker lifts up Angle, Tombstone! No! Angle reverses it! Angle delivers a TOMBSTONE of his own! 1-2-3!

    Winner: And NEW #1 Contender Kurt Angle!!!

    Match Quality Rating: 78

    As soon as the match is over Randy Orton slides into the ring. He goes to RKO Angle, but Kurt pushes him off. Orton falls down to the canvas, and then rolls out of the ring. He backtracks up the entrance ramp. Kurt Angle screams for him to come back down to the ring, but Orton thinks better of it.

    Tazz: Go get you some Orton!

    Jim Ross: I doesn’t look like the Champ is interested anymore, but whether he wants it or not, he will have to defend his title against Kurt Angle at Backlash!

    Tazz: That is going to be off the hook!

    Jim Ross: What a night we have had. Good Night Everybody!

    RAW PREVIEW: May 08, 2006

    Last week, after Ric Flair announced that he would challenge the WWE Champion, Triple H at Backlash, Triple H tossed the Sixteen Time World Champion Ric Flair off the entrance stage. Flair’s status is unknown at this time, but what will Triple H have to say about this brutal attack on his one time mentor? And one week after telling John Cena that things are now personal, what does HBK have in store for the Doctor of Thuganomics? One thing is clear, these three will be in the same ring when Triple H and Shawn Michaels team up to take on John Cena. The question is, will Cena have a Ric Flair as his partner? Or will this a handicap match!

    In other action, last week John Bradshaw Layfield laid out an invitation to none other then the Immortal Hulk Hogan to show up to Raw this week. Will Hogan be in the house? And if so, what does JBL have in store for the Hulkster? Plus one week after watching the Tag Team Championships slip through their hands, Big Show and Kane will have a shot at becoming number one contender’s when they face their rivals from Nu Breed, Carlito and Chris Masters!

    Plus the IC Champion Shelton Benjamin will be in action, and More!

    Raw 01 May 06 – ‘Beginning of Backlash ’

    -Mayhem Personified by the King of Kings-

    HAIL to the KING of KINGS!

    ‘King of Kings’ starts up as HHH steps out onto the entrance ramp. The crowd is booing the WWE Champion’s head off as he stands a top the entrance ramp. He finally pulls out a mic.

    ‘The Game’ Triple H: Boo all you want, that won’t change the fact that I am STILL the WWE Champion!

    Boo! The crowd then starts a chant of ‘You Tapped Out’.

    ‘The Game’ Triple H: Funny, you people seem to be under the illusion that I give a rats ass what you think. The fact is I don’t. Yes, that sixty year old timer and Markie Mark got lucky on Saturday Night, but that by no means changes the fact that I am still the WWE Champion! Nothing has changed. I am still the Man amoungst boys. I am still the King of Kings. I am still…

    WOOOOOOO!

    The crowd goes crazy as Flair’s Horsemen theme picks up. He steps out onto the entrance ramp as the crowd goes nuts.

    Ric Flair: Triple H! You dare call me an old timer? Well that may be my friend, but last Saturday Night, this old man made you scream like a young girl on her prom night. Woooo!

    Jim Ross: You gotta love the Nature Boy.

    Tazz: Crazy stuff.

    ‘The Game’ Triple H: I don’t mean to be the one to bring you back down to reality jack, but the fact is that you just got lucky! What happened on Saturday was simply luck! It could never happen again! In fact before I came out here I was in the boss’ office and I demanded that next week on Raw, we have a rematch! That’s right, Me and Shawn Michaels going toe to toe with you and John Cena!

    Jim Ross: Next week on Raw? That is huge!

    Ric Flair: I have no problem with that, however Triple H you better get use to tapping that canvas, because I too just left Shane O’s office and I informed him that I would be cashing in my ‘Money in the Bank’ contract at Backlash!

    Jim Ross: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

    HHH looks shocked, almost in denial.

    Ric Flair: However the Nature Boy didn’t come out here to talk. He came out here too…

    Ric Flair drops the mic and drills Hunter square in the jaw. Hunter is rocked backwards. He is on the edge of the ramp! Flair reaches out and grabs him, pulling him back onto the stage. HHH explodes with a knee to the gut. He then tosses Flair right off the stage! Flair crashes through some merchandise tables set up just below the ramp!

    Jim Ross: Oh my lord! Flair is injured! We need help out there right now!

    Tazz: That son of a bitch threw Flair off the stage!

    HHH looks shocked, as if he didn’t realize what he did at first ,but after it started to sink in an evil smirk grows across his face. He looks down at Flair for a few more moments, then picks up the WWE Championship and walks off. Medics rush to help Flair.

    CM Punk vs Reverend Malcolm

    This match started off very live with both men having long periods of offensive. Punk hits the ‘Straight Edge Driver’, but was unable to capitalize on it. Reverend Malcolm hit a double arm powerbomb, but like Punk wasn’t able to capitalize on the pinfall. The match hit a climax when Punk was going for a high risk move, but Reverend exploded out of no where with a hurricarna that sent Punk flying off the top rope and driling his head off the canvas! Reverend Malcolm moved over for the pin, but the bell sounded before he could. The match’s time limit had expired.

    Winner: Draw

    Match Quality: 88, **** ¼

    Both Punk and Malcolm fought to their feet. Both looked confused, until the ref explained exactly what happened. Punk extended his hand outwards. Malcolm shakes the hand. He raises Punk’s hand high in the air. The crowd cheers, but their cheers quickly turn to boos as Malcolm lifts his knee into the groin of Punk, catching him totally off guard. He grabs Punk and drops him with a double arm DDT!

    Jim Ross; What the hell!

    Malcolm drops to the canvas and leaves the ring, as Punk is left in the ring beaten. The crowd boos Malcolm.

    -Down Goes Rey! Down Goes Rey!-

    The scene cuts backstage where Rey Mysterio is standing next to the lovely Maria.

    Maria: With me at this time is none other then Rey Mysterio! Rey, last night you had a huge win against Chavo Guerrero. Way to Go on a big match.

    Rey Mysterio: Thanks Maria. I….

    Rey is cut off right there as he is drilled behind with a steel chair! Rey crashes to the floor. Chavo gives Rey a shot in the gut, with the chair, before tossing it to the ground. The crowd boos mercifully as the camera gets a good shot of Chavo and his expression of total rage. Chavo reaches down and grabbing Rey by the mask, pulls him up. He hurls him through the RAW set head FIRST! The set collapses around him. Chavo just looks on with a death stare, before finally walking off.

    Tag Team Championship Match: Kane/Big Show vs MNM

    Kane and Big Show dominate most of this match. Nitro and Mercury really have no answer for the size and strength of the two men. The two men appear to be on their way to winning the tag titles. Kane grabs Nitro by the throat. Melinda gives a tug at the feet of Big Show. Show turns around on the apron and screams at her to leave him alone. Kane has Nitro up in the chokeslam! Mercury charges and drills Kane, forcing the releasing of his tag partner. The two both drill Kane, then whip him into the ropes. Kane runs square into Big Show! Show falls off the apron, on top of Melinda! Kane staggers into MNM… SNAPSHOT! 1-2-3!

    Winner: And NEW Tag Team Champs, MNM!

    Match Quality Rating: 84 ****

    MNM roll to the outside. They check on Melinda who is really selling that she is hurt, but as soon as she sees the gold handed to Nitro, she is miraculously healed. She grabs the gold and begins to celebrate with her team.

    -It Is Now Personal-

    ‘Sexy Boy’ starts up as Shawn Michaels walks out to a mixed reaction. He rolls into the ring and pulls out a mic, looking like he is there strictly about business.

    Shawn Michaels: A few weeks back I told John Cena that what I did at Wrestlemania was strictly bussiness. When I did what I did, I didn’t do it with any personal feelings at all. While I don’t think a lot of John as a wrestler, I respected him as a man. He fought for what he believed in. He didn’t sell out just to satsifiy you silly people…

    Boo!

    Shawn Michaels: So in that regard I respected John Cena. However what I did at Wrestlemania wasn’t about personal feelings. It was about bussiness! John Cena is a joke when it comes to wrestling and the fact that he was representing our company sickened me. That is why I forced the title to change hands. The night after Raw I let John Cena ramble on and on, and tried to let him get all of the frustration out of his system. As I have told him since day one, this isn’t personal it was strictly bussiness. However John wouldn’t drop it. He kept sticking his nose in my business and at Saturday Night Main Event, he crossed the line.

    ‘Cena, Cena, Cena’.

    Shawn Michaels: John Cena, I tried to be a good guy about all of this. I tried to let you go on your merry way time after time. However you just seem hell bent on making this personal between you, and me and at Saturday Night Main Event, when you dropped me with that FU, you made it PERSONAL!

    CHEER!

    Shawn Michaels: Screw you people. You don’t know what you want. You cheer for me. You Boo Cena. You Boo me, you cheer for Cena. You people are as thick sculled as Cena I swear.

    Boo!

    Shawn Michaels: Well Cena, you got your wish. It is now PERSONAL between me and you. You want to push the ‘Showstopper… The Main Event… The Icon’ of this bussiness.. well you have accomplished it. But as you saw with Flair earlier in the show Cena, when you make things personal… careers tend to have a habit of ENDING!

    HBK tosses the mic down, as the crowd boos. He takes a seat along side Tazz and JR at the announce table.

    John Cena vs Booker T

    These two really exchanged flurries of offensive throughout the match. Cena appeared ready to win the match, when HBK left the announce table and teased about entering the ring. This distracted Cena long enough for Booker to hit the Book End! 1-2-KICKOUT! HBK can’t believe it! The match continued for a bit, until Cena again had the match won. He lifted Booker onto his shoulders, but as lifted Booker, Book’s feet connected wit the ref knocking him down. HBK rolled into the ring. Sweet Chin Music! On Booker T! Shawn Missed Cena! HBK is lifted up onto Cena’s shoulders, FU!!! Cena rolls HBK out of the ring as the ref starts to come too. Cena bounces off the ropes, and drops the 5 Knuckle Shuffle. 1-2-3!

    Winner: John Cena

    Match Quality Rating: 77, *** 3/4

    Cena rolls out of the ring, and backtracks up the entrance ramp. HBK rolls into the ring, but it is too late. He gives Cena a death stare as Cena mocks him with a ‘You Can’t See Me’ pose.

    -You Can’t Have Everything You Want, Joe!-

    ‘Submissive’ starts up as Samoa Joe walks out and down to the ring.

    Jim Ross: Here is a man who was totally screwed at Saturday Night Main Event.

    Tazz: Don’t kid yourself Jim, he ain’t forgot about it.

    Samoa Joe: Edge, I didn’t come out here to cut a ‘promo’. I came out here to beat your ass! So get your butt out here and face me like a man!

    A long pause. Samoa Joe waits. After a long time he raises the mic and begins to talk. At this time, ‘See Clearly’ cuts him off. Edge’s Pyro’s go off, however the Titan Tron flickers on to show Edge with his arm around Lita. There is a beach in the background.

    Edge: Whets that Joe? You want to get your ass kicked again?

    Samoa Joe: …

    Edge: Hold it right there, because as you can clearly see I am not in the arena tonight. After my victory over you at Saturday Night Main Event, I decided that I earned a little vacation.

    Edge and Lita exchange a sloppy kiss, which draws heat from the crowd.

    Edge: But tell you what. You want a rematch with me? Tell you what. I’ll think about it.

    Samoa Joe: One way or another…

    Edge: Joe, I said I would think about it. Enough. This conversation is over!

    Edge signals for the feed to end, which it does. This leaves Joe in the middle of the ring, frustrated.

    Batista vs Henry

    This wasn’t the greatest technical match in the company’s history, but it may have been one of the stiffest. Henry really didn’t sell much in the match, so Batista starting hitting him with real shots, so that he could get a sell. Batista hit his spinebuster and Powerbomb to win the match. 1-2-3!

    Winner: Dave Batista

    Match Quality Rating: 60 ***

    After the match was over, Batista rolled to the outside. He grabbed a steel chair and rolled back into the ring. He waited for Henry to climb back up to his feet then cracked Henry’s head wide open! Henry lay motionless. Batista rolled to the outside. He pauses. He reaches under the ring and pulls out a table. He steps up the table, then reaches under the bottom rope and pulls Henry to the apron. Batista climbs on top of the table.

    Jim Ross: This could get nasty in a hurry Tazz.

    Tazz: Could get nasty? Look at Henry’s face. It is already there JR.

    BATISTA BOMB, through the table! Batista stands over Mark Henry totally in a rage. Medics rush down to the ring and check on Henry. Batista finally leaves, and they carry Henry out on a stretcher.

    -A God Calls Out An Icon-

    The Dallas Theme starts up as JBL marches out and down to the ring. The fans boo him, and JBL loves every minute of it. He loves to be hated I think.

    JBL: That’s the way to show some Southern Hospitality!

    Boo!

    JBL: You know it is people like you who make me sick! You sit there with your welfare checks, and instead of going out and working for a living you expect people like me to give you hand outs! Why don’t you people go get a damn job!

    Jim Ross: Totally out of line!

    Boo!!

    JBL: Speaking of a person who needs a job, I came out here because I have a beef I want to settle. For those of you who can afford a radio in this hell hole, you know that I have my very own radio show! I got a call today from a fan who called my program and said they loved me! They said I was one of the greatest things to happen to the bussiness ever!

    Boo! JBL kicks the bottom rope in frustration.

    JBL: One of the best things? God Dammit, I do declare that I there ain’t been one damn thing in this bussiness that happened to it that was then when JBL stepped through those ropes for the first time. I challenged this so called fan to name me one wrestler who has done more for this bussiness then me, and you know who they said? Hulk Hogan!

    CHEER!

    JBL: You people agree! We’ll I’ll be! You are as dumb as you look!

    Boo!

    JBL: You actually believe Hulk Hogan is better then me?

    Cheer!

    JBL: Then I guess I will just have to prove all of you wrong! You see, I have sent a written invitation to Hulk Hogan to join us next week on Raw, and if he accepts I will expose him for the FRAD that he is really is!

    Jim Ross: Did you hear that Tazz? Hulk Hogan will be on Raw Next Week!

    World Championship Match: ©Randy Orton vs Kurt Angle

    This was a classic match one. Orton and Angle put on a wrestling clinic for the better part of half an hour. Angle had the Ankle Lock applied, but Orton rolled through once more! Angle went for an Angle Slam later on the match, but Orton slid out the backside. He gave a shoulder thrust sending Angle into the ropes. Keibler pulled down the bottom rope, and Angle fell over the top. This didn’t do anything but fire up Angle, who took control of the match from there. A few moments later, Angle hits the Angle slam on Orton! He has the title won! 1-2-3!!! No! Wait Keibler pulls the foot of her man onto the bottom rope! The ref has no choice but the restart the match. Angle doesn’t realize it. The ref tries to tell him, but Angle doesn’t want to hear it. He turns around… RKO! RKO! RKO! 1-2-3!

    Winner: And STILL World Champion, Randy Orton

    Match Quality Rating: 91 **** ½

    Jim Ross: I don’t believe it! Angle was screwed out of the World Championship!

    Tazz: There ain’t nothing like a good woman J-R!

    Jim Ross: That jezebel. She cost Kurt Angle the World Championship, Easy on the Eyes or Not!

    Orton rolls to the outside. Keibler hands him the World Title Belt, and the two embrace. They make their way up the entrance ramp, where they look back in the ring, and see Angle fuming. Orton raises the World Title in the direction of Angle and the scene fades on this.

    As I posted a few days ago, I am now going to change the outlook of this diary slightly, from a two-brand company to a one-brand company. The reasons I have elected to do this are quite numerous but the two main ones are that I feel like the diary is being pulled in two different directions, and causing confusion at times. Plus I really like doing this diary, and am afraid to burnout quickly, like most of these diaries do which have two separate brands.

    ~I will be keeping Raw. I am dropping Smackdown. I may pick up another show down the road if I can get the time slot, however it will only be a Heat type of show.

    ~The IC, US, Tag Team, Cruiserweight, and Diva Championship will all remain at this time. I am toying with the possibility of eliminating one or two of the championships. The WWE Championship, and World Championship’s fate has yet to be determined as to which one will be kept.

    ~ All feuds will be continued, as well as storylines, title lines/reigns ect. This isn’t a restart by any stretch of the imagination.

    ~Due to the change, Jerry Lawler has been relieved of his duties. Tazz will assume the role of color commentator, with the lead role for Raw being given to Jim Ross. Do not look for this to last long on however, as it is rumored that Ross has indicated that may step away from the position shortly, so much so that Joey Styles is being kept.

    ~For those wondering, Eric Bishoff, Paul Heyman, and Stephanie McMahon are no longer authority figures. All of these talents have been retained, but may not see the screen for some time.

    RAW PREVIEW: May 01, 2006

    Just forty-eight hours after losing the World Championship to Randy Orton, Kurt Angle is making his return to Raw a memorable one as he evokes his rematch clause against the man who defeated him at SNME, Randy Orton. That however won’t be the only titles on the line, as the Tag Team Championships are united as the Big Show and Kane square off against MNM for the undisputed Tag Team Championships! Speaking of Tag Matches, the WWE Champion Triple H will surely not be in a good mood as he was forced to tap out at the hands of Ric Flair. What will the Champ have to say? And Dave Batista will return to Raw as he tries to finish off the man who sidelined him for months, Mark Henry!

    All the fall out from Saturday Night Main Event and More!

    Saturday Night Main Event starts out with pyros shooting off. Raw’s Jim Ross and Smackdown’s Tazz take their seats at the announce table.

    ‘An Earthshattering Announcement’

    ‘No Chance!

    ‘No Chance’ starts up as Vince McMahon makes his way out to the ring. The crowd is a buzz as to what this could mean.

    Vince McMahon: You know, it has been too damn long since we have held one of these. Give it up for the return of Saturday Night Main Event!

    Pop.

    Vince McMahon: I know I have said this before, however this time it is official. This will be the last time that I ever address you as the owner of the WWE.

    Jim Ross: Huh?

    Vince McMahon: I have accomplished a lot during my time here in the WWE. I have created this company, and took it to the very forefront of the wrestling bussiness. However over the past few months, maybe even years, I have noticed that WWE hasn’t been able to get over that hurdle that we once cleared. The WWE has always prided itself on being cutting edge, and quite frankly the last few months or even years have been nothing short of bland.

    Jim Ross: I have to disagree.

    Vince McMahon: This morning I signed the papers and sent in my resignation to the board. They accepted it and named my succor at my request. Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me introduce to you the brand new Chairman of the WWE… my son SHANE McMAHON!!!

    Here Comes the Money!

    The crowd cheers as Shane McMahon walks down to the ring. He isn’t rejoicing, realizing the largeness of the moment.

    Shane McMahon: Thank You dad. I would like to address a few things before we get started. Seeing how this is a new day, and now this is my company I want things to do be done my way. So effective immediately I am eliminating the brand extension!

    CHEER!

    Jim Ross: What! That is huge!

    Tazz: What the hell does this mean?

    Shane McMahon: I will release a statement after Saturday Night Main Event, detailing where the company will go. You will find that will not spend as much time in front of the camera as my father. I want the emphasis to be on the wrestling; so don’t expect me to go toe to toe with wrestlers. However I will be acting as the authority voice on Raw, however most of the choices will be made off camera. With this is mind, lets begin Saturday Night Main Event!

    The crowd cheers as Vince McMahon and the new WWE Chairman, Shane McMahon head towards the back. The crowd is cheering the move.

    New Breed vs Big Show & Kane & DDP

    This was a very chaotic match basically throughout its entirety. Throughout the entire match, the ref was unable to keep control of the match. Towards the end of the match, Kane missed a boot to the face of Carlito but connected with the ref. This caused the match to break down into totally mayhem once more. All six men were in the ring. The ref is knocked out. Masters has DDP locked in the Master lock. Big Show and Kane execute a double chokeslam to Carlito! Kane forces Masters to break the lock, sending DDP to the canvas. Torrie Wilson tosses a chair into the ring at the direction of Sean Morley. He picks up the chair and drills Kane from behind, just before he chokeslams Masters. Kane is sent over the top rope. Morley delivers a chair shot to the head of Big Show, but it doesn’t knock him off his feet. Carlito sneaks in from behind and executes a double knee back breaker! Big Show is flat on the canvas.

    -This Ain’t How You Play the Game-

    We open up backstage in HBK’s locker room. HBK is getting ready as Triple H walks into the locker room.

    HHH: Shawn! My boy. You ready to kick some ass tonight?

    HBK stands up. He gives Triple H a death stare.

    HBK: Let me get one thing straight, I am not your friend. Not anymore. What I did at Wrestlemania, I didn’t do it for you. I did it for the company.

    HHH: Ok. Ok. Ok. At least we agree on one thing, right?

    HBK: That is about all we agree on.

    HHH: You want to be a jerk about this, go right on ahead. I was willing to bury the hacket, but if you want to keep all of this anger built up in side of you, then so be it! You just don’t do anything to screw up tonight, or next time we meet, I won’t be looking to burry the hacket. I’ll be looking to bury you! Got me?

    HHH and HBK go face to face.

    US Championship: ©Chris Benoit vs William Regal

    For those of who you love to watch technical wrestling, this was the match of the night for you. Benoit and William Regal put on a wrestling clinic for the fans of SNME. Regal showed his dirty tactics throughout the match, but time after time the Champ would find ways to over come and prolong the match. Towards the end of the match Chris Benoit is executing his three German suplexes. He nails the first, then pulls Regal up to his feet. He executes the second, before doing the same. As Benoit pulls him up to his feet , Regal digs in his tights, before pulling out a pair of brass knuckles. He gives Benoit a shot to the face, and because the ref was behind Benoit, he never saw them. Benoit crashed to the canvas. Regal placed the knuckles back in his tights, then made the cover. 1-2-KICKOUT! Somehow Benoit kicked out. Regal fought the ref saying there wasn’t a way Benoit kicked out. When Regal turns around, Benoit caught him in a small packed and got the three count victory!

    Winner: And STILL United States Champion, Chris Benoit.

    Michelle McCool: With me at this time is the current World Champion, Kurt Angle. Kurt, you have a big time match tonight. Randy Orton did score a pinfall over you a few weeks ago.

    Kurt Angle: Big whoop! He pinned my shoulders in a freaking tag team match. Big deal. You see this belt right here Michelle? This damn belt isn’t a tag team belt, it is a single’s belt, and this belt is given to the best damn wrestler walking the planet. Me!

    Michelle McCool: I understand that, but a pin is a pin.

    Kurt Angle: And a horse is a horse of course, but tonight this isn’t going to be a damn tag team match. This is going to be a single’s match, and he isn’t wrestling just anyone! No, he is wrestling a wrestling machine! Tonight, Randy Orton is going to find out the real meaning of the word Pain… Oh Its True! Its True!

    IC Ladder Match: ©Shelton Benjamin vs Rob Van Dam

    For those of you who love to watch high spot matches, this was the match of the night for you. At the end of the match it appeared that Shelton had the title retained. He is holding the belt as he begins to unstrap the belt. However Rob Van Dam who flies off the top rope connecting with a Van Daminator stops this! Shelton flies off the ladder crashing into the canvas. His momentum sends him rolling off the canvas and onto a table placed outside the ring. He climbs up to the ladder. Shelton is motionless. Rob Van Dam had the title won! He reaches up for the title, but pauses. He looks out on the outside, where Shelton is laying on the table. He up at the title, then back down at Shelton. He climbs to the top of the ladder, as the entire arena climbs to their feet. FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH! Out of the ring and through the table! Yes through the table, because Shelton rolled out of the way at the last possible moment. Rob Van Dam is motionless in the pile of debris as Shelton rolls into the ring. He climbs the ladder and wins the match after removing the title belt.

    We fade backstage where Michelle McCool is standing next too Rey Mysterio. Mysterio is sporting his Eddie Guerrero shirt.

    Michelle: With me at this time is Rey Mysterio. Rey, over the past month Chavo has taken acceptation to your dedications to his late Uncle, Eddie Guerrero. Would you like to speak about that at this time?

    Rey Mysterio: Michelle I just want all of the fans out there to know that I am in no way using the passing of my friend as a way to future my career. Chavo, brother I know you are going through a rough time. I feel your pain, just as much as you do. Eddie was my brother too. He wasn’t my brother through blood, but he was my brother through heritage.

    Michelle: Well Chavo took it that way. Are there any hard feelings on your part towards Chavo?

    Rey Mysterio: None at all. As I said, I understand the tough time he is going through. If he thinks I am taking advantage of his family, then he has every right to be angry and defend his family. All I can do is tell him how much I loved Eddie. For him, this may be personal, but for me it isn’t. Viva La Raza!

    Rey points to the sky, then walks off the set.

    Rey Mysterio vs Chavo Guerrero

    This was by far the most intense match of the evening. For two men who love to take high risk, most of the match was fought on the canvas with fists instead of dropkicks. Rey hit his 619 early in the match however missed a springboard move. The Cruiserweight Champion took control of the match and really dominated for a long portion of the match after this. Chavo hit a lot of Eddie’s old moves like the three amigos, and a missle dropkick off the top rope. Rey gained a short amount of momentum shortly there after, and went for a second 619. This however was blocked, when Chavo caught the feet of Rey, then powerbombed him into the canvas. Chavo climbed to the top rope. He beat his chest like Eddy and crotched down, ready for the Frog Splash. However Rey Mysterio sprung up to his feet. Hurricanrana! Chavo was sent flying off the top rope, and his head spiked into the canvas! Mysterio has the pin! 1-2-3!

    -The Winning EDGE?-

    Coach: With me at this time is the man who is just moments away from victory. Yes I am talking about the Rated R Superstar, Edge!

    Boo!

    Edge: You’re damn right Coach, I am just moments away from another victory. You know, I doubt most of you out there in TV land realize this but since Wrestlemania I am undefeated! That’s right, no one has been able to pin me. I am on one of the hottest rolls in WWE history. And now this chump, Samoa Joe thinks he can just waltz right into the WWE and steal my thunder?

    Lita hugs Edge, as Edge just gets closer to the camera.

    Edge: Well think again! This isn’t some Indy chump company. This is the WWE! This is the big time Joe. So Joe, while you are back there slicking your hair, and picking out the perfect towel to bring down to the ring, remember one thing. You aren’t walking down to the ring to wrestle just anyone! You are walking down to that ring to wrestle the Rated R Superstar! You made a mistake there buddy. When you came into this place you could have wrestled anyone, but you made the mistake of choosing me! Well tonight, I will show you the difference between the WWE and these other chump companies! Prepare for baptismal by fire, Samoa Joe!

    Edge vs Samoa Joe

    This was really a total clash of styles, however they gelled beautifully in the match. Edge really took it to Joe with his technical abilities, and Joe was able to match them somewhat, and turned the match into more of a brawl. Joe had the match won apparently with a STF, however Lita interfered by pulling Joe to the ropes, causing the break. Joe had a stare down with the Sex Goddess, and when he turned around Edge planted him with a SPEAR! 1-2-KICKOUT! Joe kicked out of the spear. Edge looked on in total disbelief. Edge argued with the ref some and this gave Joe time to recover. When Edge turned around he hit the ISLAND DRIVER! But was to exhaust to make the cover. Edge crawled into the corner. Joe climbed up to his feet and connected with a face wash! The crowd is totally behind Joe at this point, realizing he is moments away from winning the match. Lita also realizes this. She hands Edge something. Joe charges again, looking for another face wash. Lita pushes her man out of the way! Joe crashes into the corner. The ref begins to yell at Lita. Samoa Joe turns towards Edge and is DRILLED with a pair of brass knuckles! Joe crashes to the canvas. Edge tosses the knuckles out of the ring, and makes the cover 1-2-3!

    The Undertaker/Batista def Mark Henry/Marc Copani

    This match was really nothing more then a squash. Mark Henry and Copani dominated early on, Copani even going as far as to lock in the Camel Clutch to Batista. However the Undertaker would break it up with a boot to the face, and the match broke down into total mayhem after this. The Undertaker would connect with an Old School to Mark Henry before Batista destroyed Copani with a spine buster. Taker pointed towards Batista then pointed down at Henry. Batista grabs Henry and executed the Batista Bomb. However he didn’t pin him. He pointed toward the Undertaker and gave the throat slashing sign. Undertaker delivered the Tombstone to Henry then picked up the victory!

    Ric Flair: John Cena! Are you ready for War Boy?

    John Cena: You damn straight I am.

    Ric Flair: Triple H & Shawn Michaels! They got no chance against the Doctor of Thuganomics and the Nature Boy! Woooo!

    John Cena: You don’t worry about H-B-K. I got a little something, something in store for him tonight.

    Ric Flair: That’s what I like to hear! Whether it is Shawn Michaels or Triple H, someone is going to tap in the middle of the ring, and you and I, my friend… we are going to party like it is 1985! Wooo! You and Me John, we are going to tear up the town!

    John Cena: I’ll pass on that Nature Boy. I ain’t looking to make no friends. You just do your thing in that ring, and I’ll do mine. A’rite?

    Cena slaps Nature Boy in the chest. He walks off as Nature Boy looks confused.

    HHH & HBK def John Cena & Ric Flair

    This was actually a great match. It was back and forth with HBK/HHH controlling most of the match since they have a history of teaming together. Towards the end of the match they seemed to be in trouble though as Cena once again had HHH up in the FU. Like at Wrestlemania, HBK interrupted with a superkick to Cena! This allows Hunter to make a tag. HHH inches closer towards his corner as Cena is motionless. Hunter reaches out to tag Michaels, but at the last split second, Flair explodes with a low blow to Michaels from the outside! Michaels crashes to the apron, and falls to the floor. Flair rushes back over to his corner. TAG! Flair comes into the ring and unloads on the Champ. Rights! Lefts! A Thumb to the eye! Hunter staggers over, FU! Cena explodes with an FU to the Champ! Flair locks on the figure four. HBK is motionless on the outside. Cena mocks HHH with the ‘You Can’t See Me’ motion as HHH screams out in pain. He finally taps.

    Randy Orton: I KNOW!

    Staci Keibler: Don’t snap at me.

    Randy Orton: I’m sorry. It is just all this damn pressure. I am tired of having to carry all of this weight on my shoulders.

    Staci Keibler: Let me take care of that.

    Keibler begins to rub Orton’s shoulders.

    Randy Orton: Do you know how hard it is to carry around all of this pressure knowing that everyone excepts you to achieve victory, yet hates your guts? It is a catch 22. If I win, people will say ‘So What, you were suppose to win’, but if I lose it is a big deal.

    Staci Keibler: Don’t put so much pressure on yourself.

    Randy Orton: It is already there! I can’t take it off. The only way to remove the pressure is to achieve my destiny. I have to beat Kurt Angle in that ring tonight.

    World Championship: ©Kurt Angle vs Randy Orton

    This match took a long time to start. Angle and Orton stood in the middle of the ring for a long time soaking up the atmosphere. Light bulbs were flashing all around the arena, as the two men waited for the other to make the first move. Orton was the first to make a move however it was blocked by the Champ who exploded with a few quick punches of his own. The match really took off from there and was a great technical wrestling match. Angle really showed his superiority in the ring, but Orton showed that he wasn’t a rookie anymore connecting on a few big time moves. Orton made a critical mistake though and went for an early RKO! Angle shrugged it off, then executed an ANGLE SLAM! The Champ rips off the top portion of his tights and goes berserk. Angle slapped on the ANKLE LOCK! Orton rolls through! He rolled up into a rollup just like a few weeks ago on Smackdown! 1-2-KICKOUT! Angle springs up to his feet, as does Orton. Randy throws a weak punch. Angle ducks and locks in the Angle Slam! Orton slides out the backside of the move! RKO! RKO! RKO! 1-2-3!

    World Championship Match: Kurt Angle vs Randy Orton

    Randy Orton is a man of destiny. He refuses to believe other wise. He claimed that Wrestlemania was his night, however after seeing Rey Mysterio tap out, Randy Orton refused to accept defeat. He challenged the champion, Kurt Angle to defend his title. Will Orton finally realize his destiny? Or will Orton’s name go along side the same the likes of Mark Henry, The Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, and many more?

    HHH & HBK vs Cena & Flair

    HHH and HBK are not friends, not anymore. However their actions are not showing it. At Wrestlemania when it appeared that John Cena was about to regain his WWE Championship, Shawn Michaels came in and cost the Champ his strap. Since then, HHH and HBK have been on the same page as they made Cena’s life a living hell. However the Doctor of Thuganomics called on an old friend, a seventeen time world Champion, Ric Flair to help him due battle against Triple H and Shawn Michaels.

    Batista and The Undertaker vs Mark Henry and Muhammad Hassan

    People make mistakes, like trying to defeat the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. So after Wrestlemania when Mark Henry’s name showed up on a tombstone, they quickly took the fight to dead man. Daivari even brought back his old client, Hassan to join the war against the Undertaker. The only problem is that the tombstone was from Batista! Now Henry must do battle with the man that he sidelined for half a year, along with the Deadman. How will he survive?

    Edge vs Samoa Joe

    Edge has been on a roll since Wrestlemania. He has steam rolled the likes of Sean Morley, Matt Hardy, Goldust, and many more. However he has never faced a man like Samoa Joe. Edge may be one of the most talented young superstars in the bussiness, but does he have what it takes to beat the ‘King of Cool’? Or will his unbelievable streak finally come to an end?

    Rey Mysterio vs Chavo Guerrero

    After dedicating his performance to his late friend, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio was inches away from being the World Champion at Wrestlemania. However this action rubbed Chavo Guerrero the wrong way, believing that Rey was using his late uncle to future his own career. Chavo forced a trade to Smackdown to take care of the problem himself. This one should brutal.

    IC Title Match: Shelton Benjamin vs Rob Van Dam

    These are two of the highest fliers in the WWE today. So just these two names together should be enough to draw anyone’s attention, however now that this rivalry between these two has been intensified by personal attacks, on top of the announcement that the match will now be a ladder match! Oh my! Emotion. Talent. Desire. The key ingredients for the match of a year!

    US Title Match: Chris Benoit vs William Regal

    In one of the most shocking moments of Wrestlemania, William Regal won the Money in the Bank match. However after stating that he had no desire to be the World Champion, he set his sights on Chris Benoit. He attacked Benoit, and before giving Benoit a chance to respond, he evoked the clause, giving himself a shot at the Champion. Will Benoit be able to stop the Foreign Royalty? Or will the man from the Pond, be the America’s Champ?

    New Breed vs Big Show, Kane, and DDP

    Nu Breed formed a month ago with one goal in mind, refuse to be ignored. With that thought in mind they have went out of their way to make sure they are not over looked. They have went after the biggest men in the yard, Kane and Big Show. Will pure desire be enough to get past the size and strength of Kane and Big Show? And if they do get past, they better watch out for the BANG!

    -The Champ… Cena is Herre!-

    ‘Our Time is Now’ starts off as Cena explodes out onto the entrance ramp. He stomps his way down to the ring where the fans are giving him a mixed reaction. Cena rolls into the ring and takes the mic.

    John Cena: It seems that some of you don’t like me?

    Mixed Reaction.

    John Cena: Well Love me or Hate me, you all better recognize that this Saturday at SNME I am going to bring and bring it straight at H-B-K!!!

    Edge is cut off as you read... ‘He’s Coming’ …. ‘He’s Coming’.

    Samoa Joe: Boy do you not get out much.

    Edge: Listen up, who do you think you are coming…

    Samoa Joe: Listen up. I am only going to say this once. You want a challenge for Saturday Night Main Event? Then you got it. Challenge Accepted!

    Samoa Joe pushes the microphone back into the chest of Edge then walks out as ‘Submissive’ starts back up. The crowd loves it as Edge doesn’t know what to do.

    Sean Morley vs Diamond Dallas Page

    This match started off very stiff. The momentum went back and forth throughout the first moments of the match. Morley takes control of the match, hitting a few offensive moves. He connects with a blue thunder bomb, but cannot get the victory. Page hits a Diamond Cutter out of nowhere! He goes for the cover, but Carlito pulls him out of the ring.

    Jerry Lawler: I guess you can say that the Champ is here.

    Jim Ross: In deed he is, and of course he will be at SNME this weekend.

    ‘The Game’ Triple H: John Cena seems to think that his biggest problem lies in the form of the Heartbreak kid. Well he is absolutely RIGHT! Because as I showed at Wrestlemania I am in a different CLASS then John Cena. I am in a different league! Hell, we aren’t even playing the same game!

    Jim Ross: I disagree with that! If it wasn’t for the help from friend Shawn Michaels, John Cena would still be the Champ!

    ‘The Game’ Triple H: Some of you think that John Cena is a pretty cool guy.

    Cheer.

    ‘The Game’ Triple H: Well you are all fools! John Cena was the biggest disgrace this company ever had as its Champion. He was worse then the Rock! He was worse then Goldberg!

    OOC Notes: This was an incredible show. Flair joined the ‘Unique’ club tonight, and really showed he could carry a match if paired correctly STILL. Triple H had another great outing. Shelton/Hardy had incredible chemistry. My favorite moment of the night was the debut of Samoa Joe!

    21 April 2006, ‘Countdown To SNME’

    -Gregory Helms vs Jamie Noble-[

    These two squared off about a month ago and really stole the show, so this was a great way to start off Smackdown. The two men lived up to their previous performance as they put on a great show. Noble connected with his double arm powerbomb, but couldn’t get the victory. Helms took advantage of a kick below the belt, and connected with the shinning wizard, before the three count.

    Winner: Gregory Helms

    Match Rating: 89, **** ¼

    -MNM vs Air Born Chaos-

    Paul London and Brian Hendricks are teaming up consistently, and going by the name Air Born Chaos. They may change the name later, but this time they square off against one of the best in the WWE, MNM. Surprisingly ABC works really well as a team against MNM, who match speed for quickness. Melinda tried to interferer but got knocked off the canvas. Hendricks paused a moment feeling bad, and this gave MNM the opening they needed to hit their finisher and pick up a three count.

    Winners: MNM

    Match Quality Rating: 90, **** ½

    -United States Championship: ©Chris Benoit vs Booker T-

    Benoit and Booker T have hooked up many times before, so this match was nothing new, yet it lived up to the quality they had presented before in the past. Booker T showed his power advantage, while Benoit showed his heart and quickness advantage. Booker went for a Hangover off the top rope, however Benoit easily rolled out of the way. Booker fought to his feet, but quickly feel victim to the Crossface!

    Winner: And STILL United States Champion, Chris Benoit!

    Match Quality Rating: 83, ****

    --Regal lays out a challenge for Benoit--

    As Chris Benoit is climbing down from the turnbuckle, celebrating his victory over Booker T, ‘Union Jack’ starts up and out marches William Regal. Benoit looks ready to explode, so Regal stays up on the entrance ramp.

    William Regal: Stay right there you bloody fool.

    Benoit looks on, but thinks twice, and stays in the ring.

    William Regal: Listen up you bloody ignorant baboon! In case you missed the memo last month at Wrestlemania I won this ‘Money in the Bank’ contract. It means that I get to face a champion anytime I want, whenever I want. Normally people use this clause for a shot at the World Title, but seeing how I don’t really give a damn about the bloody thing, I am going to let you know that I will be evoking my clause at Saturday Night Main Event… AGAINST YOU!

    Joey Styles: What!

    Tazz: He isn’t going to cash in a shot against Angle?

    William Regal: So do me a favor would you? Make sure and take good care of that title until next Saturday, when I will take that piece of garbage off of your hands.

    ‘Union Jack’ starts back up as Regal walks off. Benoit looks on very pleased at this news, but then the realization sinks in that he has to put his title on the line yet again.

    -Grudge Match: JBL vs Lashley-

    GM Paul Heyman ordered this match last week as a result of JBL constantly ducking Lashley. The two powerhouses started off very STIFF. JBL proved that he could make power with the young bull, and later on in the match showed his intelligence advantage when he wiggled out of the dominator and landed a neck breaker! JBL waited for Lashley to reach his feet before charging with the Clothesline from Hell! However Lashley ducked and connected with a dominator! 1-2-3!

    Winner: And STILL undefeated, Lashley

    Match Quality Rating: 70, *** ½

    -Dead Man Walking Into a Trap?--

    ‘Strong Man’ starts up as Daivari and Mark Henry walk out onto the entrance ramp. They make their way down to the ring.

    Daivari: Listen up! Over the past two months all I have heard is about how the Undertaker is this unstoppable force! All he has said since Wrestlemania is that my client’s days here are numbered! Keep showing that damn tombstone Undertaker! Mark Henry isn’t going anywhere!

    Boo!

    Daivari: In fact, our cause is growing! As the days grow, we have more and more allies willing to join our cause. One ally in particular has stepped up and offered his services. You may remember him Deadman… because he sure as hell remembers you!

    ‘Won’t Back Down’ starts up as Muhammad Hassan steps out onto the entrance ramp. He greets the loud boos with a warm welcome. He makes his way down to the ring.

    Muhammad Hassan: Thank you Daivari. I wish I could say it is great to be back here in the WWE, but it isn’t! You people are racist! You are ignorant racist! I cannot stand this company! This only reason I have come back is…

    The bells toll.

    Tazz: Here’s comes the DEADMAN!

    The crowd explodes as the Undertaker’s theme starts up. Hassan, Henry and Daivari are all brought to a freeze as the Dead Man makes his way out onto the entrance ramp and down to the ring.

    Daivari: You won’t intimate us Undertaker! We know your games! Show all of the tombstones you want. You shall not…

    The Undertaker reaches out and snatches Daivari. He pulls him closer, then begins to speak into the mic.

    Undertaker: Your days may be numbered… but they are not numbered by the Deadman.

    Tazz: What the hell?

    Daivari: What the frick is that suppose to mean?

    Undertaker: …

    Before the Undertaker can speak, Hassan clubs the Deadman from behind. This frees Daivari. Henry soon moves in for the attack. Both men begin to club the Undertaker, who cannot fight both of them off. The crowd begins to boo. However their boos are soon interrupted by ‘Unleash The Animal’. The crowd explodes as Dave Batista explodes through the curtains.

    Tazz: Joey! That’s Dave Batista!

    Joey Styles: I know Tazz! I see it. I just don’t believe it!

    Batista explodes into the ring. Both Hassan and Henry march towards Batista, but are knocked down by a double clothesline! The crowd explodes. Batista grabs Hassan and tosses him over the top rope! Batista turns back towards Henry who is back on his feet. He looks on for a moment, before dropping to the canvas, and rolling out of the ring. The three men regroup at the bottom of the entrance ramp, and choose to retreat.

    Batista: Daivari, your client’s days are numbered, but the Deadman is right. He isn’t the one who set the date. I DID! And at Saturday Night Main Event… Mark Henry will pay!

    --Chavo Talks Trash--

    The scene fades backstage where Michelle McCool is standing next to Chavo Guerrero. As soon as Chavo is seen by the fans, the arena turns into boos. Chavo ignores them.

    Michelle: With me at this time is..

    Chavo rips the microphone out from Michelle’s hand.

    Chavo: Listen up! For all of you out there who are booing me… Shut the hell up! You don’t know anything! You have no idea what I am going through. You have no idea what my family is going through! You know nothing!

    Boo!

    Chavo: Fine, go ahead and boo. Do whatever you want, because tonight I will not be stopped! I will become the Cruiserweight Champion once more! Tonight is about me! But at Saturday Night Main Event… it will be about FAMILY!

    -Cruiserweight Title Match: Chavo Guerrero vs CM Punk-

    Chavo and the young CM Punk appear to be well matched heading into the match. CM Punk appeared to hold the upper hand throughout the match, landing the Straight Edge Driver! However Guerrero went down stairs to prolong the match. He appeared to be in total control of the match, when Rey Mysterio came out. Mysterio distracted Chavo, allowing Punk to reach his feet. Punk charged Chavo from behind, however Guerrero got out of the way at the last minute. Punk ran square into Mysterio, allowing Guerrero to roll up the champ from behind! 1-2-3!

    Winner: And NEW Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero!

    Match Quality Rating: 100, *****

    --The Champs Last Stand?--

    The beautiful Staci Keibler is in the ring. She receives a huge ovation, which he accepts. She then takes her place at the center of the ring.

    Staci Keibler: At this time, please allow me to introduce to you the current World Champion… Kurt Angle!

    ‘Medal’ starts up as Kurt Angle steps out onto the entrance ramp. ‘You Suck’ fills the arena as the Olympic Hero makes his way down to the ring being cheered by the fans.

    Staci Keibler: Kurt thanks for joining me out here. You have been on quite a streak since winning the World Championship, knocking off Mark Henry, The Undertaker and Rey Mysterio. Next week at Saturday Night Main Event, you go one on one with the Legend Killer, Randy Orton.

    Kurt Angle: Staci….

    ‘Mercy Drive’ starts up as Randy Orton emerges from the back. The crowd doesn’t chant ‘You Suck’, but they all believe it. Actually they don’t believe he sucks, they just don’t like him. Despite the boos, Orton rolls into the ring, and goes face to face with the World Champion.

    Randy Orton: Kurt, you have been on quite a roll. Those names are impressive, Mark Henry, The Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, but make no mistake about it! At Saturday Night Main Event, your reign as World Champion will end to me!

    Kurt Angle: Oh is that so?

    Randy Orton: Oh its true Kurt. It’s Damn True!

    The crowd boos as Orton steals Angle’s line. Angle snaps, as he throws the mic to the ground. Keibler steps back into the corner. Orton throws his mic down too, and the two men go face to face. Angle rips off the World Championship belt and puts it in the face of Orton who gives Angle a shove. Angle shoves Orton back! Orton crashes to the canvas! Orton looks shocked as he slowly makes his way to his feeet. LOW BLOW! Staci Keibler connects with a kick below the belt, from behind on the World Champion!

    Joey Styles: What the hell!

    RKO! RKO! RKO! Randy Orton connects with his finisher on the World Champion. Orton springs to his feet, as Keibler leaps into his arms. The two embrace as the entire arena pours boos down into the arena. Orton glares down at Angle, then picks up the World Championship.

    Joey Styles: Is this a forecast into the future?

    Tazz: I never saw that coming Styles. Keibler totally blindsided Angle.

    Joey Styles: Indeed she did, however that will not change the fact that NEXT WEEK these two will go face to face with the World Championship on the line! We are out of time folks! Good Night!

    The scene fades on Orton, with his foot on the chest of the World Champion, raising the World Championship belt high into the air.

    Best Quality Match: Guerrero vs Punk

    OOC Notes: This has to be one of the best cards Smackdown has done in a long time. This is the final ‘Smackdown’ only show and cruiserweights really stepped up their game. Chavo vs Punk was amazing, Hendricks and London was very good as well. Only real ‘downer’ of the show has to be the William Regal segment where he seemed unable to hold the crowd’s attention. We will need to address this.

    Posted · Edited by MikelSweeten

    This is a total ‘Out of Character’ Memo to all of those who follow my diary. I am about to change up the set up for my current diary. My goal isn’t to be a WWE copy diary, but rather a diary that is entertaining. So with that in mind, I am going to change the set up of this diary from a two brand set up, to a one brand set up. I have talked to a few people who follow this diary. I have asked ways to improve the diary, and after listening to this and after taking a step back now realize, having the two separate brands can be confusing to a degree. Some writers have pulled this off beautifully, so I am not saying it cannot be done. What I am saying is that I believe it is in the best interest of this diary to move back to one brand.

    How the schedule will work will remain the same. We will have RAW on Monday, Smackdown on Fridays. Raw will be the ‘Flagship’, where most of the heavyweight superstars appear. Smackdown will be used similar to ‘Thunder’ back in the WCW days. It will not be a lower card show, but mostly headlined by mid carders, and up and comers. Heavyweights will appear on this show from time to time, and vice versa.

    As far as the titles go, we will solve that problem on air. The changes will take place AFTER ‘Saturday Night Main Event’.

    ‘This Ain’t Strictly Bussiness No More. It’s Personal!’

    [Raw begins with ‘See Clearly’ starts up. The pyro’s shoot off as Edge walks out and down to the ring.]

    Jim Ross: Welcome everybody to MONDAY NIGHT RAW! I am Jim Ross, and along side me is none other then Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler. King, are you ready for a huge Raw tonight>

    Jerry Lawler: I sure am, and from the looks of it we aren’t the only ones! Edge couldn’t wait to get this night started.

    -The Talking EDGE-

    Jim Ross: Edge has been on quite a roll since Wrestlemania.

    Jerry Lawler: And Lita is looking especially fine tonight!

    Edge: Listen up all you dorks out there in TV Land.

    Boo!

    Edge: Boo all you want. The fact remains that I have been on a roll ever since Wrestlemania. Since I established this Edgecution Gauntlet no one has stopped me. No one has even slowed me down. Matt Hardy. Sean Morley. You name them, I have defeated them! This week will not be any different! I don’t give a damn who marches down that ramp, they will meet the same fate as Hardy and Morley. You see it isn’t a matter of if I am good or not. It is only a matter of how long I have to beat it into each of your idiotic skulls before you realize that I am a THIS DAMN GOOD!

    [‘Lord Almighty’ starts up as Reverend Malcolm comes out and down to the ring. Edge tosses the mic down and prepares for the opening match on Raw.]

    -Edge vs Reverend Malcolm-

    Edge didn’t really expect much out of this match, but he got WAY more then he bargained for. Malcolm showed really a superior technical advantage all throughout the match, one that Edge could never over come. Malcolm hit a cross body off the top rope, but could only get a two count. He appeared to have the match in hand, when Lita sprung up onto the canvas. She began taunting the man of god with some cleavage. He marched towards her, but soon realized it was a trap. Too late though, as Edge connected with a spear and the victory.

    -Who Done Did It? -

    The scene fades up to the Titan Tron where the words GTV appear. The crowd erupts.

    Jim Ross: Hey King, GTV is making its return!

    Jerry Lawler: This is the craziest thing ever.

    GTV shows Rob Van Dam walking backstage last week before his match with Shelton Benjamin. He turns the corner and starts to walk down the hallway. From behind he is knocked out by none other then Shelton Benjamin with the Intercontinental Championship! Rob Van Dam is motionless on the floor, facing face down. Benjamin just looks down at the fallen RVD then after throwing the IC title back over his shoulder he walks off.

    Jim Ross: That son of a bitch! It was Shelton Benjamin all along who attacked RVD!

    Jerry Lawler: I knew he had to be involved somehow!

    Jim Ross: I am disappointed in the man. I really am. I thought Shelton was a better man then that.

    -Diva Championship: Gail Kim vs ©Trish Stratus-

    Gail Kim made her return to the WWE, and for those who remember the first time he debuted in the WWE she won the Diva Championship. So it wouldn’t have been unthinkable for her to make it two for two in debut title victories. Her and Trish Stratus battled toe to toe in a hard fought match. Trish Stratus went for the Matrix, but Gail Kim scouted the move well, connecting with a kick to the gut. She grabs Stratus by the hair. She connects with a DDT! No! Stratus reverses the move into a northern lights suplex and picks up the victory!

    -Shelton Explains It All-

    The scene fades backstage where Maria is standing next to the Intercontinental Champion. Shelton has a smirk plastered all over his face, as he hears the boos that come his way after the fans in the arena see him on the Titan Tron.

    Maria: With me now is none other then Intercontinental Champion, Shelton Benjamin. Shelton, the whole world wants to know why did you attack Rob Van Dam from behind?

    Shelton Benjamin: Maria, RVD had it coming.

    Maria: What do you mean? And why couldn’t you just wait till the match later that evening? Some say you were ducking him.

    Shelton Benjamin: WHAT! That is crazy. Me ducking Rob Van Dam? Who said that?

    Maria: A lot of people. The valet guy. They popcorn guy. The guy in the subway who sits in that little glass room. Ha. That guy is funny.

    Shelton Benjamin; Screw all of them! And screw you too Maria! I am not ducking Rob Van Dam. I am the Intercontinental Champion! Why would I need to duck that piece of garbage?

    Boo!

    Maria: When why attack him?

    Shelton Benjamin: Because I wanted to send him a message. You see Maria each and every single week all I hear are these stupid idiots in the arena pointing to them and chanting R-V-D…

    A chant of R-V-D breaks out.

    Shelton Benjamin: See what I mean Maria? These morons keep chanting for some idiotic who hasn’t done HALF of what I have accomplished in the WWE. I am a TWO time Intercontinental Champion! I am a former All American! Anything Rob Van Dam can do, I can do better! The only claim to fame that these people have on him is that he can perform these acrobatic moves. Well I don’t know if you missed Money in the Bank over the past few years, but I am pretty damn athletic in the ring too! So Rob Van Dam, that is why I am challenging you to a match at Saturday Night Main Event! I want to show the entire world that I am every big as athletic as you are!

    Shelton Walks off as Maria just looks on in confusion.

    -TIMBER!!!-

    Kaa-Boom!

    The Pyros go off and Kane marches out towards the ring.

    Jim Ross: King we are just about ready to get one of our two main events under way!

    Jerry Lawler: Bishoff didn’t do the Champ any favors by giving him Kane here tonight.

    Jim Ross: Indeed he…. King. I am getting word there is something going on backstage!

    The Titan Tron flickers on to show all three members of New Breed beating down on the Big Show. Carlito is holding a steel pipe, as Morley and Masters are kicking away at the lifeless body of the Big Show. Torrie Wilson is screaming out orders from the side.

    Jim Ross: King! New Breed is beating the hell out of The Big Show!

    Masters lifts the Big Show up onto his knees. Morley and Carlito each grab a leg of the Big Show, as they have the big man lifted off the ground. They all charge the wall, sending the Big Show head first into the concrete wall! Big Show falls to the floor, motionless. Morley walks over to the camera, and grabs it.

    Sean Morley: TRY TO IGNORE US NOW!

    -WWE Championship: ©HHH vs Kane-

    Kane was knocked off his game early as the beating his tag team partner got on the Titan Tron distracted him. HHH took control of the match very early and really took it to the seven-foot monster. The Game appeared to be in the top shape of his life however Kane would not be a push over. HHH went for an early pedigree and when this happened, Kane dumped him on his head, then connected with a monstrous chokeslam! Kane would only get a two count. He would climb back to his feet and call for a second one, however HHH would connect with a kick to the gut, then drop him with a pedigree to conclude a very competitive match.

    Triple H Def Kane to Retain the WWE Championship!

    Match Rating: **** GOOD

    -He’s Coming, He Swears-

    The Titan Tron flickers on showing an ethic beat, that is heavy on drums. We cannot tell what type of music this is, other then it is cultural. All of a sudden you hear the words…

    He’s Coming.

    NEXT WEEK!!!

    Jerry Lawler: JR! Did you hear that?

    Jim Ross: I sure did King. Whoever this is, will be here next week.

    Jerry Lawler: Who is it?

    -Main Event Match: HBK vs Cena-

    This match really isn’t a match, but more of a brawl then anything. There is a lot of emotion between these two men, and it was on display during the match. Cena appeared to get the upper hand, however it didn’t last long at the WWE Champion clobbered him with a sledgehammer.

    No Content, Due to Interference

    Over All Rating: **** GOOD

    The match didn’t conclude there. HBK and HHH began assaulting the motionless John Cena on the canvas once more.

    -Raw SNME Announced-

    Jim Ross: This isn’t right! Someone needs to stop this!

    WOOOOOOOOOOO!

    As if they were waiting for Jim Ross’ signal, Flair’s music hits the arena and the sixteen time World Champion charges down to the ring. He slides into the ring and begins to unload on HHH and HBK. He chases them out of the ring. The two friends, HBK and HHH meet at the bottom of the entrance ramp. They circle the ring, as Cena makes his way to his feet. Flair lets him know the situation. Cena and Flair are back to back, as HBK and HHH are now on opposite sides of the ring.

    Jim Ross: This is intense!

    HBK goes to enter the ring slowly, but is cut off by ‘Badder Then Ever’. Eric Bishoff steps out onto the entrance ramp.

    Eric Bishoff: Enough!

    HBK and HHH meet at the bottom of the entrance ramp, all four men looking up at the general manager.

    Eric Bishoff: I am tired of this! Each and every single week it is the same damn story. You four guys want to tear each other apart so much! Then fine you got it! Next week Flair you will go one on one with Shawn Michaels! And just so Triple H or John Cena don’t get any silly little ideas about interferaning, if either of you do I will fire you on the spot!

    HBK doesn’t like this news, neither does HHH or Cena a lot.

    Eric Bishoff: Consider next match’s main event a PREVIEW MATCH! Because at Saturday Night Main Event, all four of you will be in the same ring, when Shawn Michaels and Triple H team up to face John Cena and Ric Flair!

    All four men like the sound of that. They begin to nod their head in approval, as they turn back towards one another and begin to jaw. The scene fades.

    14 April 2006, ‘Who Can You Trust?’

    Joey Styles: Welcome Everyone to Smackdown! We have a great show for you in store, including one of the best main event matches we have seen in a long time! The World Champion, Kurt Angle will team up with long time friend Rey Mysterio to take on the self appointed Number One Contender Randy Orton, and the newest Smackdown Superstar, Chavo Guerrero!

    Tazz: That one is INTENSE Styles. That ain’t no doubt about it!

    Joey Styles: But that isn’t all because folks tonight we also have the United States Championship on the line, as well as a match to see who will face the Cruiserweight Champion NEXT WEEK!

    Tazz: CM Punk has proven to be a fighting champion during the short time he has had that belt. Whoever wins that match will…

    ‘Strong Man’ interrupts Tazz. Mark Henry and Daivari walk out.

    Joey Styles: Tazz, look what we have here!

    Tazz: The World’s Strongest Man I guess has something he wants to get off his

    chest.

    --Henry and Daivari call out the Undertaker for next week.--

    ‘Strong Man’ continues to play as Daivari and Henry make their way down to the ringside.

    Daivari: Listen up! Undertaker you will not SCARE Mark Henry. You can stuff him in a casket. You can flash pictures of a FAKE grave all you want. The fact is that my client will not be scared. Not by you! Not by anyone!

    A small ‘Taker, Taker, Taker’ chant breaks out.

    Daivari: You want the Undertaker? SO DO WE! Only we don’t want to see him. We want to BEAT HIM! We are sick and tired of these games the Undertaker plays. Next week….

    Mark Henry rips the mic out of the hands of Daivari.

    Mark Henry: Deadman, you may have stuffed me in that casket, but you didn’t lower the coffin. That was your mistake. A mistake you won’t have the chance to make again. I am calling you out! Next week, I want to see you in the middle of this ring! FACE TO FACE!

    Henry throws the mic down, and proceeds to leave as his music plays.

    Joey Styles: What news! Mark Henry is calling out the Deadman.

    Tazz: I like Mark Henry, but I have to question the intelligence of that move. There are just certain things you don’t do and live to tell about them.

    Joey Styles: I agree with you there.

    --#1CW Title Match: Gregory Helms vs Jamie Noble--

    It was announced that the winner of this match would face the CW Champion next week on Smackdown. Both men really gave this match everything they had, in what was one of the best non-main event matches the WWE has seen since Wrestlemania. Helms looked as if he was well on his way to winning the match up after connecting with a shinning Wizard to Noble. Helms stepped out onto the apron however instead of going for the cover. He went for a springboard, but Noble just pie faced him to the canvas, locking on the Sharpshooter for the win!

    --Shane McMahon announces SNME for SD Folks--

    ‘Here Comes the Money’ starts up as Shane McMahon walks out onto the entrance ramp. The fans love him up as he makes his way down towards the ring.

    Shane McMahon: I don’t know all of you watch Raw. I hope none of you do in fact, not that there is a reason to watch Raw, when you have Smackdown. That is like going to an expensive restaurant and ordering a burger. Don’t get me wrong a burger is never a wrong choice, buy why have a burger when you can have a STEAK!

    Apparently Shane thought that would sound better then what it actually did.

    Shane McMahon: Anyways… tonight I am here to announce a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! On April 28th, that is two weeks from TONIGHT we will see the return for one night only one of the most special events in WWE history.. SATURDAY NIGHT MAIN EVENT! This will be a special show featuring BOTH stars from Smackdown, and those guys from Raw. I for one am very….

    Shane is interrupted as the lights go off.

    --Henry’s Tombstone Again--

    The crowd cheers from the unknowing. All of a sudden the entrance ramp begins to fill with smoke. Soft, scary music begins to play in the background. All of a sudden the titan tron flicker on to show a tombstone.

    Joey Styles: What the hell? This AGAIN!

    Tazz: I guess the Undertaker got the message!

    The camera zooms in on the tombstone. We are now able to read what the stone says. The stone is marked ‘Mark Henry’ with the date of ‘April 28, 2006’. The lights turn on and Shane McMahon is left looking up at the entrance ramp with a look of joy.

    Joey Styles: Did you see the look on the face of the Smackdown Chairman!

    Tazz: I think he digs it!

    --Orlando Jordan vs Lashley--

    This match was pretty one sided, even though Jordan tried to make it a match on a number of occasions. Lashley just proved to be too powerful in the end, and after connecting with his finisher he was able to pick up the three count.

    --Melinda Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place--

    Melinda, Joey Mercury, and Johnny Nitro are standing outside Paul Heyman’s office. Mercury and Nitro are talking at the same time, with irrates Heyman to no end.

    Paul Heyman: Enough! Either one of you speak at a time, or both of you shut up!

    Joey Mercury: Mr. Heyman, you told us that one of us would get a shot at Chris Benoit tonight.

    Paul Heyman: That I did. What is your question?

    Johnny Nitro: Well which one is it?

    Paul Heyman: That is up to you.

    Johnny Nitro: Ok, I choose me!

    Joey Mercury: Well you are just going to lose anyways, I choose me!

    Johnny Nitro: You can’t do that!

    Joey Mercury: I have just as much right as you do!

    Johnny Nitro: No way! I called it first!

    Paul Heyman: Gentlemen! Not that I enjoy anything more then listening to two grown men sound like pre teen children, but I have a match that needs to happen. So since neither of you can decide, I am going to let the lovely Melinda here choose.

    Nitro and Mercury both looked shocked, but not nearly as shocked as Melinda. She looks terrified.

    Melinda: Me?

    Paul Heyman: It seems as though there is a tie in your group, and since you are apart of the group, you will be the deciding factor.

    Melinda: Alright… I’ll choose Johnny.

    Johnny Nitro: Sweet!

    Joey Mercury: What!

    Nitro rushes off to go towards the match. Melinda walks off as Mercury just questions her. Heyman shakes his head as he stands outside his office.

    --Is it Payback for Whom, JBL or Lashley?--

    As Heyman is standing outside his office John Bradshaw Layfield walks by him celebrating with Orlando Jordan.

    Paul Heyman: Gentlemen!

    JBL: Well if it isn’t Paul Heyman! You want to join the party?

    Paul Heyman: No thank you. Parting really isn’t my thing. However I would like to say that it is great to see you back in the ring. I was shocked to see you return.

    JBL: You weren’t the only one. I drilled that son of a bitch right between the eyes! He never saw it coming!

    Paul Heyman: Well I am glad you enjoyed getting in the ring with Lashley so much, because next week, you will do it for real.

    JBL: WHAT!

    Paul Heyman: Since you want to get your hands on Lashley so badly, next week I am going to give you exactly what you want. JBL vs Lashley, one on one!

    Heyman walks back into his office as JBL stands outside his office totally shocked. You can tell he doesn’t like that news at all.

    --United States Title Match:Chris Benoit vs Johnny Nitro--

    Benoit came out ready to defend his title, against a ‘game’ Johnny Nitro. Benoit was able to display some offense early on, however Nitro surprisd a lot of people by taking control of the match about mid way through and really dominating the match from there on out. Towards the end of the match he would connect with an BLOCKBUSTER and get a three count, however Benoit’s foot was on the bottom rope. Nitro celebrated too early, and when he turns around, Benoit caught him with a small package, that he reversed in a CROSSFACE! Nitro tapped out. ©Chris Benoit def Johnny Nitro to retain the WWE United States Championship

    Chris Benoit is handed the US Title. He embraces the title, then holds the title high in the air. However the title is soon sent crashing to the canvas, as is the champion! By WILLIAM REGAL! The crowd boos as Regal shows that he drilled Benoit with a pair of brass knuckles! Benoit is motionless, laying face down on the canvas. Regal just gives Benoit the death stare. He bends down and picks up the United States title, before raising it into the air.

    --Chavo explains Why he attacked Rey--

    We fade backstage where Michelle McCool is standing next to Chavo Guerrero.

    Michelle: With me now is none other then Chavo Guerrero. Chavo all week people have been asking exactly why you attacked Rey Mysterio. Do you care to explain?

    Chavo Guerrero: Do I care to explain? Isn’t is obvious! I am a GUERRERO! I am a REAL Guerrero! I sat over there on Raw for the days following my uncle’s death and heard wrestler after wrestler tell me how great of a man Eddie was. From Triple H to John Cena! From Lillian Garcia to Howard Finkle! Everyone loved my Uncle. So I will be DAMNED if I sit back and allow Rey Mysterio to CAPITALIZE on my uncle’s death!

    Michelle: What do you mean? Is this about his dedication to Eddy at the Royal Rumble? Or Wrestlemania:

    Chavo Guerrero: It was EVERYTHING! I just grew tired of it all! Every single week Rey was out here telling us how he was going to do this for Eddy and do that for Eddy. He told us he was going to win the Royal Rumble for Eddy and that he was going to win the World Title for Eddy. I am sick of it! He is USING my uncle’s death to benefit himself! I will not stand for it!

    Michelle: You think he is using the situation to beneficent himself?

    Chavo Guerrrero: You are damn right I do! That is why I demanded to be traded to Smackdown. To take care of this MYSELF! This is a family problem, and it takes a GUERRERO to take care of the problem!

    --Kurt Angle/Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton/Chavo Guerrero--

    This match was a very active tag team match with a surprise amount of excellent team work, considering these two teams hardly ever team, or in Orton/Guerrero’s case NEVER have teamed. Chavo and Rey actually carried much of the match. Orton got the tag, but tagged himself out after Angle got the tag. Orton would eventually find his way into the ring, however Angle would roll Orton up, and through. ANKLE LOCK! Orton couldn’t reach the ropes, but Guerrero drills Angle with a chair. Orton rolls the Ankle lock up and steals the victory!

    Best Quality Match: Noble/Helms

    OOC Notes: I got a positive vibe when I left this show. Smackdown is really shaping up to be a better show then Raw at this point. Noble/Helms was a surprise at the high quality. The Taker/Henry angle seems to be going nicely, getting a high mark two straight weeks, despite a semi-repetitive story. The only ‘sore’ spot was the Chavo turn, which didn’t go over so well. The Main Event however made up for it. Solid Show. Room for improvement, but a good show never the less.

    WWE Friday Night Smackdown! Official Preview!

    Last week Chavo Guerrero shocked the world when he made his debut on Smackdown, only to attack friend Rey Mysterio. When asked why, Chavo refused to comment only other then saying ‘Eddy was his family’.

    Meanwhile Randy Orton claimed to still be the number one contender after ‘not losing’ at Wrestlemania. Paul Heyman had heard enough, and decided to settle matters in the ring, the old fashion way! So Kurt Angle will team with Rey Mysterio to go up Randy Orton and Chavo Guerrero in his first match back on Smackdown!

    In other action last week, The Undertaker sent a clear message to Mark Henry with the Tombstone marked for ‘April 28th’. What does this date mean? Could it spell the end for the World’s Strongest Man?

    PLUS: Plus Chris Benoit puts his United States Title on the line, and Gregory Helms battles Jamie Noble for a shot at the Cruiserweight champion, CM Punk.

    ‘Stick and Stones May Break My Bones, but Shawn’s Words Really Hurt’

    Jim Ross: Welcome everyone to Raw! Folks you have picked a great night to tune into Raw because let me tell you what! Last week Shawn Michaels came out here and told John Cena he was a bad champion, and that is why he cost him the title at Wrestlemania.

    Jerry Lawler: He didn’t just do that J-R. He said that John Cena was a complete JOKE! You have to know that isn’t going to sit well with John Cena.

    Jim Ross: In deed I expect it won’t. This roof could blow off the arena at any point tonight King!

    --Starting Raw Off on the EDGE--

    Raw kicks off as you hear Edge’s music begin to play. He steps out onto the entrance ramp with Lita. The crowd erupts into a chorus of boos, as he makes his way down to the ring.

    Edge: I told all of you that what happened at Wrestlemania was a FLUKE! Did you believe me? NO! You went on your message boards and chatted up how the ‘Rated R’ superstar was over rated. That his time was over, well stick that in your pie hole! What happened at Wrestlemania was a fluke, and this week I will prove again. You see last week a trade went down between Raw and Smackdown. Raw sent Chavo Guerrero over to Smackdown, and seeing how the Smackdown Star who came to Raw is suppose to debut tonight, I figured I would show him who’se show this really is! So bring them out! Who is it? Bradshaw? Batista? Benoit?

    I WILL NOT DIE!

    Edge’s face turns white as a ghost as Matt Hardy steps out onto the entrance ramp. The crowd explodes as he makes his way down to the ring.

    -- Edge vs Matt Hardy, ‘Edgecution Gauntlet Match’--

    The match was very competitive, and very emotional. The two men exchanged punches on more then one occasion, and the wrestling match broke down into a street fight on more then one occasion. Hardy took advantage of an Edge miscue, where he missed a spear, and ran into the steel post. Hardy locked Edge in a Twist of Fate, but Lita pulled Edge out of the hold, causing Hardy to get upset. When he turned back around, Edge dropped him with the Edgecution DDT for the win.

    -- Hey! Vince is back. How long has it been? Two Weeks? --

    No Chance’ starts up as Vince McMahon struts out to the ring, like only Vince McMahon can. He stomps down to the ring and enters the ring as the fans are cheering him, oddly.

    Vince McMahon: I know I said at Wrestlemania that you wouldn’t be seeing me anymore, but today I got some great news! No, I didn’t save any money on my car insurance either.

    Vince pauses to soak up the cheap pop at the ‘no so funny’ joke.

    Vince McMahon: However these news is even bigger then that! This news is big enough for me to hop on a jet and fly here tonight to make the announcement in PERSON! Yes, you see I finalized a deal this morning with the executives at NBC to bring back for one night only… SATURDAY NIGHT MAIN EVENT! That’s right, the long standing show will make its return to NBC for one night only on the 28th of this month. Since this is such a special occasion, I have arranged it so that BOTH the stars of Raw and the stars of Smackdown will appear on this show! With that in mind…

    Vince is cut off as the Titan Tron flickers on. You see a bunch of refs rushing down the hall ways with someone screaming ‘We Need Help In Here!’

    -- Taking the Night Off, Involuntarily--

    The scene fades backstage where you hear..

    SOMEBODY GET A MEDIC!

    The scene rushes into the locker room to see none other then Rob Van Dam motionless in his locker room, covered in his own blood.

    Jerry Lawler: Who did that?

    Jim Ross: There is no telling King.

    Jerry Lawler: What about RVD’s match tonight? Will he be able to go?

    Jim Ross: That is unclear, but folks as soon as we get word on his condition, we will pass it along to you.

    ---Kane vs Diamond Dallas Page--

    DDP returned to the WWE wit a bag of mixed reactions from the crowd. DDP went toe to toe with the Big Red Machane for the opening moments of the match. Kane’s dominance soon took over, causing Kane to dominate the majority of the match. Kane went for his high risk move, but DDP exploded up to his feet and executed the DIAMONDCUTTER! He didn’t have enough to make the cover however, and Kane won the match moments later with a chokeslam.

    As soon as the match is over, Chris Masters, Carlito, and Sean Morley slide into the ring. Kane is DRILLED with a chair shot from Carlito. He falls backward, right into the hands of Morley who executes a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! He calls that his ‘Reality Shot’. Chris grabs DDP and pulls him up. MASTER LOCK! Page can not escape and soon passes out! Masters throws the returning superstar to the canvas, and the three men celebrate their victory BUT ONLY FOR A MOMENT! The Big Show makes his way down to the ring, and the three members of New Breed exit the ring, making their out through the crowd.

    --Bishoff Ain’t A Happy Camper--

    The scene fades backstage in the General Manager’s office where Eric Bishoff is standing next to a doctor. Bishoff is shaking his head in frustration as we listen in…

    Doctor: I am sorry Eric, but I am not release Rob Van Dam to wrestle this evening. I am worried he may have a concussion.

    Eric Bishoff: Can’t we just sign a wavier?

    Doctor: No, I will not allow it. If he goes into that ring tonight with a concussion, he could have permanent brain damage. I will not sign off on any clearance until I see the test results.

    Eric Bishoff: Fine! I will just have to find a replacement for him tonight then.

    Shelton enters the picture.

    Shelton Benjamin: But Eric, that ain’t right. I can’t defend my title against someone who I don’t know.

    Eric Bishoff: You are right. You caught a break. You will still have a match tonight, but it will be a non-title match!

    Shelton Benjamin: Good Enough.

    Eric Bishoff: By the way. Where exactly were YOU when all of this was happening?

    Shelton Benjamin: Don’t look at me! I was getting tapped up! Go ask the trainers.

    Eric Bishoff: Fine. Alright. Just get out of here, and prepare for your match.

    --Reverend Malcolm vs Shelton Benjamin, Non-Title Match--

    Reverend Malcolm is making his debut. He must be a local wrestler, because he is cloaked from head to toe. He actually looks sort of like Shark Boy, only in black. However his outfit doesn’t tell the story, because he was able to go move for move with Shelton Benjamin. As the match processed Shelton Benjamin became more and more frustrated with Malcolm. Malcolm locked Shelton in a double arm powerbomb, but the IC Champ delivered a head butt to the groin! The ref warned Shelton, and Shelton responded by drilling the ref! Shelton left the ring and got the IC title! Benjamin came back into the ring and DRILLED Malcolm across the face, become a total heel. Shelton rolls the belt out of the ring, and picks up the cheap victory.

    --The Owl Says ‘Who Dat’--

    The Titan Tron flickers on showing an ethic beat, that is heavy on drums. We can not tell what type of music this is, other then it is cultural. All of a sudden you hear the words…

    He’s Coming...

    Jerry Lawler: Who’s coming? What is that all about?

    Jim Ross: I wish I knew King. I really did.

    Jerry Lawler: That’s strange.

    --John Cena vs Snitisky, Main Event Match--

    This match was actually quite competitive despite what most believed going into the match. Cena was able to match the power of Snitisky throughout the match which made the match very competitive. Cena went for a Five Knuckle Shuffle, but Snitisky moved out of the way. Snitisky connected next with a HUGE boot to the face that lead some to believe the match was over. Cena threw a shoulder up to continue the match. Snitisky came close to ending the match a few more times throughout the match, finally saying enough is enough he called for a powerbomb. Cena however was able to reverse this and throw Snitisky onto his shoulders, before executing the FU! Cena picked up the three count soon after.

    --It is Time to Face the Music, Sexy Boy!--

    ‘Our Time is Now’ starts up as Cena celebrates his victory for a moment, but then demands the stick from Garcia. He goes to speak, but notices he is receiving mixed reactions from the crowd. He gives the fans a death stare, then begins to speak.

    John Cena: Last week, I gave Shawn Michaels the chance to come out herre and tell the world why he stuck his nose in my bizzness. He said he thought I was a joke! He then said ‘it was for the embetterment of the company’. So now that he got his story out in the open, I SAY bring his ass down to the ring so I can throw him the beating of a LIVE TIME!

    The fans cheer as Cena waits for HBK. Finally ‘Sexy Boy’ starts up, and Michaels appears! However he is decked out in a suit, obviously not ‘wrasslin’ attire. He makes his way down to the ring.

    Shawn Michaels: John, as I told you last week, what I did at Wrestlemania was strictly bussiness. It was nothing personal. Truth be told, I like you. I hope you learn how to wrestle and regain that title one day kid. Once again, it wasn’t personal.

    WACK! Cena delivers a straight jab right to the chin of Michaels. HBK cracks that cocky smirk, as he grabs his chin.

    John Cena: You’ve done enough talking, now you are going to listen! Who the hell are you to pass judgment? You think cause you wear that cross, that makes you better then anyone else here?

    Shawn Michaels: …

    John Cena: I said you were gonna listen! Don’t make me pop you again.

    The crowd cheers as Cena raises his hand. Michaels doesn’t back down, but cracks that smirk and nods his head for Cena to continue.

    John Cena: When I was younger, I looked up to you. I didn’t respect you because of your flashy dancing, or you acting like a fool. I respected you because when that bell sounded you gave these fans a show. Whether were being boo’d or cheered you gave these people everything they had. That is what I am all about. Now, I may not be like you. I may not fly off the ropes. I may not flip up on my feet or bang my foot into the corner, but I entertain these people just like you. So where do you get off telling me, that I don’t belong?

    Shawn Michaels: Kid, I love your spunk. I really do, but you are going to have to learn how this bussiness works.

    Cena looks on puzzled by this comment. HBK backs up, then points behind Cena. He turns around and is DRILLED by the Champ, Triple H with a SLEDGEHAMMER! Cena crashes to the canvas, as the Champ looks on with a cocky smirk. He extends his hand out and exchanges a hand pound with Shawn Michaels. Both men look down at Cena with disgust, as the former champion is motionless. The show ends on this scene.

    -----------------------

    OOC Notes: For whatever reasons the RVD vs Shelton feud isn’t going over well at all. Both men seem to being hurt by this feud, more then helping. Hopefully things will turn around. The show as a whole really is starting to hit a groove. Edge is hitting home runs with his ‘Edgecution Gauntlet’ and the HBK/Cena/HHH hate-triangle is kicking into gear.
