WWF Championship – Steel Cage Match

Mankind © vs. The Rock ©

I'm going to say that Mankind wins it here, only for the mere fact that it is way more interesting when the face chases the heel for the title. Plus with this being one of your mainstays of the diary I believe that Mankind isn't ready to call it quits just yet.

Number #1 Contender

“The Game” Triple H w/Stephanie McMahon vs. “The Big Red Machine” Kane

Keeping in tow with the heel winning the world champion, it makes sense to give Kane the rub. Setting up a match between former tag champs for the belt.

King of the Ring Finals

(Test vs. Eddie Guerrero) vs. (Kurt Angle vs. Val Venis)

Winners of first matches: Test and Kurt Angle

Overall winner: Kurt Angle

I can see Guerrero and Val Venis cheating each other out of their matches, leaving us with Test and Angle. After that I think Angle wins because he's ready and you already have a long term push set up for Test where he doesn't need the rub.

WWF Intercontinental Championship

“Y2J” Chris Jericho © vs. “The Crippler” Chris Benoit

I think Jericho is ready while Benoit is more suited to be the I-C champ at this point. I'm going for Benoit.

WWF Tag Team Championships

The Hardy Boys (Matt & Jeff Hardy) © vs. Legion of Doom (Animal & Hawk)

This is obviously set to make the Hardys look dangerous so I'm going with them.

Number #1 Contendership

The Dudley Boys (Bubba Ray & D-Von Dudley) vs. Edge & Christian

The Dudleyz win it, but I wouldn't be shocked if we see a TLC variation with E&C in it down the line.

WWF Light-Heavyweight Championship

“The Grand Master” Brian Christopher © vs. Scotty 2 Hotty w/Rikishi

Like mentioned earlier, BC wins because of the huge win over Rikishi, plus the gimmick change.

The Big Show vs. Albert

I think Big Show wins this, as just having Albert in the picture helps him, whereas a loss really hurt the stock of Big Show.

WWF Hardcore Championship

Tazz © vs. Goldust

Tazz is running with this belt for a while.

Plus, the return of The Undertaker... But which match will he get involved with? Triple H vs Kane

This has been a great read so far. The stories have good character development, which is always the plus of having your own federation and the ability to create your own stars.

As pointed out earlier, the comparison to Golden Boy wrestling is a good one, but I like yours better because it's not an obvious tongue-in-cheek diary. However your sense of humor does carry the diary (Doug L. Entendre's "ooo-ers" are classic).

Keep up the good work.

I typically lurk and just read diaries, but since I hadn't seen much feedback I wanted to post as this is one of the stories I regularly read.

Just a couple highlights:

I like how you've been able to keep the dual championship storyline going and make it seem reasonable, and I personally can't wait to see the result of it all. I have a suspicion that the returning Undertaker is more likely to play a role in that feud then the Triple H/Kane feud, so that interests me as well.

At first it struck me as odd how Chris Benoit was seemingly getting de-pushed, but I think its a good move to put the belt back on him as Jericho and Angle are above that point and are ready for a chance to tangle with the big stars.

For the Stone Cold scenario I think whichever way you go would be entertaining if booked well but the notion of Test being a prominent super heel intrigues me the most.

All in all I love this diary...keep up the good work!
