Jarv

The beauty of this diary is that despite the fact it's a great diary and it's interesting and everything else it should be it hasn't lost the crazy crapness of WCW. With that in mind it makes me think that things won't go down quite as they should, just like they didn't in the real WCW.

WCW Slamboree PPV Card:

-Ready To Rumble Triple Cage WCW World Title Match: Jeff Jarrett© vs. DDP vs. Billy Kidman vs. Terry "FUNB" Hogan

Keeping Jarrett with the belt probably makes the most sense. DDP has no reason for winning. I wouldn't be surprised if it went the WCW way and Hogan took the title and went back to the top of the mountain. However, I think the pure shock factor of Kidman winning is enough for the title to go to him, as well as that it keeps the title in the New Blood and keeps the JJ v Kidmania feud simmering.

-Sting vs. Muta

Like the floating man said there are still more to come. I expect to see them turn up soon most probably in this match and see Muta pick up the win through various evil tactics. More intriguing though is if "the seventh" is going to be the same man from WCW or if you've kept the idea and changed the star.

-Ric Flair vs. Shane Douglas

Basically Flair can be cheated out of it and keep his heat. Douglas loses through whatever reason and he's suffering. This makes me think WCW would have Flair win but I don't think you'd do that and I'll stick with Douglas.

-WCW United States Title Match: Curt Hennig© vs. Scott Steiner vs. PerfectShawn Stasiak vs. Booker

My own view is that Stasiak is going to fade out and that his mystery partner is going to be the man who gets the big push and eventually takes the belt from Hennig along the way so Hennig needs to keep it. Meanwhile Steiner will be beating Booker across the arena and going generally insane with little concern for the match.

-WCW World Tag Team Titles Match: The Outsiders© vs. Kronik

I can't see The Outsiders losing until a team has been really really built up to face them and I don't think Kronik have had that build up yet so I can't see it changing hands. Don't ask me who that team will be though.

-Goldberg vs. Tank Abbott

No contest. You either kill off Abbot and make everything you've done a waste of time or you kill off Goldberg and the man is never seen again. Therefore I predict a before the match sneak attack that gets the match thrown out. This is probably the match I'm most interested in seeing how it goes as I pretty much don't have any clue.

-The New Blood Hardcore Challenge Match: Terry Funk© vs. Mike Awesome vs. Ron vs. Don vs. Fit Finlay vs. Stevie Ray vs. Justin Credible vs. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. The Cat vs. Sid

Credible to be the resident hardcore maniac and to bring some attitude to WCW. Meanwhile Funk can still put up a great fight. Keep in with his new group and later down the line have a brutally intense feud with Credible. Everybody else seems to just be filler. Except awesome who I was hoping would get a jesus push but alas it is not to be.

-WCW Cruiserweight Title Match: Chris Candido© vs. Lash LeRoux

Give the fans something to cheer. Then let a bidding war start for Lash to see where he'll go. Oh I don't know and does anyone really care about this match?

Extras:

-Will there be an unscheduled extra match on either PPV or the Pre Show? Yes. Macho and Piper squashing someone or maybe an extra impromptu Hardcore match to get the title from Funk.

-Who will be pinned in the United States Title Match? PerfectShawn whilst Steiner and Booker are brawling around the arena.

-Which will go longer, the entrances or the match in the Goldberg vs. Abbott match? For dear God's sake I hope it's the entrances. Then some intense battling before a swift resolution.

Two Words: Holy Shit. Reading the intro I was expecting something big, I was expecting something good.

First segment : We have lesbians. Brilliant stuff. We then have flaming tables, "faggots" and gay bashers. Good work. Bagwell being as camp as a row of pink tents in my eyes but anti-gay is a good angle to pull and this is prediction one, at Surrender to the Takeover the gaybashers will be heading to LOGO as the defacto heels with there gay bashing gimmick.

Second segment : Daivari? Because he can talk? Good choice although I hope to see him get involved in some sort of in ring role.

Third segment : Horace just keeps on going. God damn your intent on pushing that guy, but not a real win! My word could this be the end of Horace THE HOSS Hogan? I doubt it. Flare attacks hmmm...I honestly forgot entirely who Flare was so it wasn't a real big shock but it'll do. What is more interesting is Daivari's, “someone who is bitter about being told the truth.” Another good story plot to be unfolding.

Fourth segment : Would have liked to have seen the bodyguards have some sort of introduction. Some fantastic ways for Matt to get heat and some good ways for Jeff to look good but not too good. Overall a good segment and then... "Little known cult figure in the wrestling business, Dallas Darke!" Who the...? OK I'll admit I'm intrigued and I'm sure this is all going somewhere but I feel like I've missed something here. More interesting again is Calebs shout of, “they are fucking things up.” An invasion of sorts to come? Some sort of third factor in the ever expanding QGWA empire?

Fifth Segment : More good build up for the PPV. Promises to be brutal. Also does a fantastic job of building up Dylan Harris as a risk taker and a legit threat to Pogo.

Sixth Segment : Jesus Christ this better end up with a street fight or something. Otherwise like the fans I'm going to be pissed off. This is the one angle that is really dragging on in my eyes. But since pretty much every angle has been running since the start of teh fed I suppose that's a pretty good record.

Seventh Segment : Rex Silverstone? Hmm...I suppose LOGO is going to need some of it's own stars so...yeah ummm...hopefully something good will come of it. It did everything it had to I suppose.

Eighth Segment : The Shit wins. The Shit kicks ass. The Shit dives all over the place and kicks Low-Ki's ass. Great stuff. 2 out of 3 should be awesome. Hopefully The Shit manages to retain. The Shit is back baby!

Ninth Segment : Ruckus roll on like Horace Hogan and get stronger every week and you manage to hide there lack of talent in the ring. Good work. Did what it was supposed to do and fed them jobbers.

Final Segment : Great main event. Bit of desperation one thinks with QGWA clawing viewers back after the poor last show and it should work. As for the finale? Well...what the fuck? Awesome stuff I'm sure. So over the top and crazy that it fits QGWA perfectly also such a fucking swerve that I love it. God damn I cannot wait to see what comes of this. I mean oh my word this has got to be fantastic. Haha!

Phew. I was pretty scared this had died. However, I am now safe in the knowledge that it lives on. I just had a quick read through and I don't really have time to leave more detailed feedback but I thought I would make a few points.

Like the fans I spit in the face of this watered down version. But I love it all the same, you've thought about what QGWA would do, how the fans would react and you've shown it. It seems real which, as I've always said is the best thing about this diary.

It was probably more difficult to take what could have been a great show and somehow ending up making it suffer because of the small changes in the story itself not the actual booking if that makes sense. Changing the name of "The Shit" however is something I will never forgive if he joins the softcore split. And damn that Low-ki.

Still excellent work though and I'll be back. I'm still very intrigued in the storylines especially the square appearance which has me stumped and just who it is that could ever dethrone Chris Peele.

Like I've also said before though I am still a little bemused as to how I seem to be the only person in here giving feedback. I hope that this will continue and I'm hoping that it will pick up a few more people who are willing to take a look at it and well...tell you how good it is because it is the most interesting diary I've ever read here and it's always the first diary I look for when I logon.

Ah well onwards and upwards. Great work.

A little bit of feedback here after a quick skim through of STBOTI.

It’s the little touches that make me love this diary. “After the match, they try to win the referee over to reverse the decision with some of their dance moves, but the referee will have none of it.” How could that not work. The little touches like this that add to the characters and the feeling really make the diary stand out. It makes the two more believable as fun sort of faces other then them just being called Awesome and Mondo.

Good work in turning Angel into an actual threat to anybody. He’s not going to win either match I can tell you that but at least you’re making him look good already. The fans can really get behind a gay guy who stands up for himself and he can still be comically camp. Am I also right in supposing that Angel is going to be the leader of the new family friendly offshoot? I don’t see The Ass of Steele Chris Peele being as successful if he’s watered down.

A good win for the FF and a good push should be in order. Hopefully a real tag team can challenge them. Also having Angel be “injured” adds to the whole fighting gay image and it’s a good idea. Also a good match for making Fatu look strong despite losing. Overall a pretty decent match.

Ok this match is going to be crazy am I right? Death possibly? Paedophilia? Who knows. “ But he over shoots him and lands knee first on the steel railing and smashes his head off the pavement. The fans chant “you fucked up” as a few of the wrestlers look generally fearful of the implications of the injury.” Another nice touch that gives it that shitty wrestling feel that it should have, especially for a clusterfuck of a match like this with god knows who in it. Ok I won’t even comment on what’s going on as it’s pretty fucking Jesus Christ crazy. Great stuff though. The inclusion of Calebs nephew is something that I thought was OTT when I first saw it. Thinking about it though it seems like the sort of thing that QGWA would do for a super controversial story. A swerve by the nephew and QGWA gets even sicker.

I know that in the past I made reference to people hitting to many high spots etc and although this match is full of them I can see how you’ve pulled it off. It’s all rationalised. Pogo the death match wrestler, Maria and Julia already shown to be lacking in talent but willing to take bumps to make it up, Columbine kids unknowns who can make a name by taking bumps, Caleb pushing his own business so hard he’ll take bumps for it and Fairplay desperate to take bumps to prove himself. Then OJ refuses because he’s a big star. I must admit that despite the intrigue of the angle it isn’t my favourite but I’ll look forward to seeing where it goes. I also hope more comes of the OJ being a pussy angle that we got to notice at the end of the match.

You really are desperate to push Hogan aren’t you? Thank Christ for the B. Oh shit. The heat stealing, work rate lacking, no talent Juggernaut that is Horace continues. If you can make him seem legitimate I’ll eat my hat. At least it was kept short though.

Return of the MACK! OH MY LORD! Good to see him back. You were really managing to make him into a worthy adversary of the mighty Chris Peele and long may the push continue.

Shoot interview I can take or leave. I would say there’s no chance in hell of a AJ vs. PJ fight but it seems to have been said so many times that it won’t happen that I think it’s got to. And I hope it does.

Just let Stylin win. Push the Shit. Decent enough match but there was no way anyone except Low-Ki was walking out of there with the title. Probably the match I had the least interest in though which was a shame.

Some good spots and a good match. Nice to see that crazy bitch Mallory return. Good match. Good swerve didn’t see it coming. Either keeps Jeff in QGWA and keeps you a real star or keeps Matt as well, 2 stars and a kick ass reason to feud with a top heel in Matty boy.

I’ll try not to comment too much on the baby angle. All I can say is shit swerve to great swerve just like that. Nice to see Ruckus Inc formed, all seemed fairly lifelike and in character. Any word that rhymes with Sopp is golden. Looking forward to seeing where it leads. Hopefully with The Prince bringing in some hip hop homeys to help him out.

Excellent main event. Good action all the way through. Everybody looks strong. Especially Angel after the Mack swerve both of who could battle it out for toughest man on the planet. Eventually Peele retains and I like. Surely Jake has got to go soon and we have got to get a Mack vs. Angel feud or at least a match. Hopefully you can do something a lot more interesting with this then I would though.

Still loving the diary. And I’ll be back soon for the VILE tapings.

So far you'redefinately doing a good job in portraying a realistic WWE post Summerslam and I'm enjoying it. However, what I think I'll enjoy more is when you start to put your own mark on it with feuds and storylines of your own creations. What I'm really posting for though is the oppurtunity to pick a star so on with the predictions.

WWE Championship Match

Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match

© Edge (w/Lita & Braddock) vs. John Cena

The odds are stacked firmly in Edges favour. It's his match, he has Braddock and he has Lita. For him to win wouldn't be a shock, reall he should. Therefore it would be much more in Cena's favour to pick up the win, even if he loses it only a month later. At least he gets the push from beating Edge against the odds and tehn Edge can beat him in Cena's own speciality match a month later.

Carlito vs. Randy Orton

Carlito doesn't need the win to improve. He can put up a good fight and be cheated out of it and still look good and be a fan favourite. Have Orton lose 2 PPV's in a row though and he could lose a lot of steam. As a new WWE I see Orton as the HHH and he needs to win to do that.

WWE Intercontinental Title Match

No Rules Match

© Johnny Nitro (w/Melina) vs. Jeff Hardy

This is tricky. Do you ruin the return of a sort of upcoming star and push a brand new star or do you give Hardy the push he could do with? I say you push Hardy. No rules and he can pull out all the stops so Nitro can blame it on that. Then again 2 previous victories for Hardy already make him look strong and Nitro does have Melina...so I don't know tough to call but I pluck for Hardy.

Ric Flair Calls Out Mick Foley

Will Foley come out or not. (Yes or No)

Nope. If you're going to push some new stars what better way than to have someone defend Foley? Instant heel by aligning himself with Foley/Nitro etc as a high class star or have him defend Foleys legacy and he can be a fan favourite. Instant feud and instant push.

WWE Tag Team Title Match

© The Spirit Squad vs. The Highlanders

Spirit Squad has been running a long time. Could be about time to end it and what a time to push some new stars. Highlanders to pick up the win via hilarious antics and interference.

Kane vs. Umaga

Kane to go out after being beaten eventually. A big fightback but if he beats Umaga than the Jesus push for Umaga isn't worth jack. Got to be Umaga.

I know I've plucked for the new stars everytime but I think that's what's needed or what you're going to do for the "New WWE"

Officially my favourite diary in the dome and long may it continue. I've said everything before about the backstage stuff and booking justifications etc so this time I'm just going to go with some predictions and a little review of the buildup to the matches.

Shed The Blood Of The Innocent

November 26th 2006 from Doomsday

QGWA Heavyweight Championship Match

Chris Peele © versus Angel versus Jake the Snake Roberts

Angel has gone from comedy character to Jesus push to the moon and into the main event. I could imagine Angel having this huge fan support because of his character and underdog character and because of Peeles comments on Angel never wrestling again I could see him winning the title. However, I also see Angel being more involved in LOGO than Queer so I don't see him with the title. I see him taking an underhanded beating in the Tag Title match so he isn't at his best, he can take a beating but as long as he comes back the fans will love it. I can also see Jake taking the belt as he deserves it for all the work he's put in, probably by pinning Angel to allow for the continued streak of Peele. Excellenty built up.

All Or Nothing Scaffold Match

The Hardy Boyz versus King Lorum & Johnny McMahon

The backstory sort of confirms this match in my eyes or it could be a huge swerve. Hardyz to be heading out of QGWA in one final bloody but highly entertaining match which should give a massive push to Lorum and McMahon.

Who Is The Daddy of China Doll’s baby?

Monty Sopp or Sean Waltman?

Sopp? I would assume to drag it out further but to be honest with you I haven't got a clue. Anything could really happen as often does in QGWA and I love it for it.

Fatal Four Way Cage Match for the Lightweight Title

Juventud Guerrera versus Ted Stylin’ versus Matt Sydal versus Low-Ki

Juvi is too much of a backstage lunatic to have the belt. Sydal has just returned. Stylin' is the man and I would love to see him with the belt. In fact give Stylin' the belt please, please, please. I'm the Shits biggest fan so I would love to see it. However, to have someone as big as Low-Ki appear and be such an asskicking machine only to lose would seriously hurt him so I think he has to pick up the win. Unfortunately this is possibly the least interestingly built up match on the card as the Lightweights get pushed to the background.

Horace Hogan Open Challenge

Horace Hogan versus ???

God knows who but hopefully they lose. If only so I can see you continue with a Hogan push which I still believe to be impossible to pull off. I honestly don't think it can be done but God Bless You for trying.

Tag-Team Title Match

Angel & Fatu © versus The Freedom Fighter’s

Fighters to destroy Angel for Peele later on in the night and to pick up the inevitable win. Hopefully you will build the freedom fighters as the dominant team in QGWA but also it should be interesting to see what this leads to for Fatu.

Death Match

Caleb Hill, Orlando Jordan, Julio & Maria versus The Columbine Kids, Johnny Fairplay & Pogo the Clown

Caleb being involved could be interesting. Finally seeing some pay off if however small to the whole Pogo/Fairplay story is a plus but I don't see it stopping here. All I know is that there will be bumps and blood everywhere but I also think Pogo will survive by the skin of his teeth to continue this super offensive storyline (which I love).

Plus…

PJ Styles shoot on AJ Styles.

And a very special dark match

Davey Freeman & Chaz versus Awesome Adam & Mondo Matt

Push for Freeman and Chaz I would presume as the latest mismatched tagteam thrown together to give them something to do need to pick up the win. In fact I think the only dissapointing thing about this federation is the way the Tag division and Lightweights tend to be overlooked. Unfortunately with Freedom Fighters dominating and working for Peele I only see it continuing but I suppose that is one of the things that has to happen when you only have 1 hour a week.

Overall can't wait for what SBI brings and more importantly what it sets up for the future.

This to me is the best diary on the board at the moment. Profane destruction, like most of your shows, was excellent not because of the quality of matches or storylines because it is exactly what it should be. The storylines are interesting, good enough to hold your attention but the beauty of it is how they go wrong or how they are so over the top like the China Doll angle. Adding to this is the fantastic memoirs of Caleb which I think are the best of there kind to be done in a diary.

To have a show like you have had with things like the China angle or the nudity would bomb and really wouldn't be worth reading. But with the backstory, the drugs and the problems it all becomes a much more enjoyable and intriguing story. I hope that we see the federation become even bigger than it is and as it does so become a little more professional as Caleb grows into his role as head of a wrestling company instead of a drugged-up pornstar with big dreams and a lot of money. Of course to lose the drug/gay/problem riddled side altogether would be terrible but to see the problem lessen as a proper wrestling federation is built would be great.

With the first big event I did raise comments on the main event and the bumps that were included. After you addressed those and reading the following set of tapings and Destruction I see that it was a huge match and it needed the big spots and in hindsight I give you credit for such a good match.

Also good work on the building of new stars such as Chris Peele and even Rodney Mack and "The Shit" = $/ratings/whatever.

Overall a diary that I'm really loving and I look forward to seeing how you deal with the split into the softer underbelly of the hardcore gay wrestling scene.

I just skimmed through the show as I've got to hit the road in a minute but I thought I would let you know my main thoughts.

• Peel is being made to look like a real star. Good work. And a Mack/Peele feud is really being well done.
• Sopp as a heel is good but I'm not show sure about the alliance with the columbine kids, Pogo et al.
• I know the promotion is Hardcore...but maybe a little too hardcore. People who don't seem like they would take bumps are taking bumps. But I'll probably get back to that when I have more time to read it.
• Main event. Good. But it just seems to be spot after spot after spot. A little over the top in my view. It seems like by the end nobody at all would be able to standup let alone wrestle.

Like I say, these are just my quick thoughts. I'll get back to you when I read it fully but this is by far my favourite diary on the board at the minute.

So far so good. Looking like one of the more interesting and original diaries on the board. Some things such as Angel's segment could be gold but there are a few things that perplex me.

I know you made reference to things being booked on the fly/confusing etc but they seem a little too weird but maybe it's just me. My main problem is Rodney Mack and how he just pops up to say a few words and then leaves. This is a man who was never a huge star but everyone seems to be terrified of him and who seems to be running the place. As well as this run ins seem to be pretty excessive and the lightweight tournament looks to be a farce apart from the opening match. It will need work in the latter stages to save it from being a joke.

Also just a few times when the wrong word or name has been put into the write up and it just makes it confusing. I can get around it but it just means reading things a couple of times to make sure I understand it. That's only a very minor criticism/comment though.

Overall looking very promising and I look forward to seeing more of it as it has the potential of developing into...well...anything really.

Ok so I've just read the whole of this diary over the past couple of days and overall I'm enjoying it. I'm still not sure but I think I may have enjoyed the recaps just a little bit more than how you're doing your shows now but the new format is certainly growing on me and you seem to have the characters down for their promos and skits. Now onto a few more random points;

- It seems to me like HHH walking out of the match and giving Cena the victory was a way to keep the belt on Cena while still making HHH look strong and seemed as if you really want HHH to be the king of kings but don't want to rip the belt straigt of Cena. Still since then your "bigging up" of HHH and how good he is certainly working but it still seems a little bit odd to me.

- Cena's heel turn was a bit of a damp squib and maybe could have been written with a bit more impact but with the way his popularity is decreasing I suppose anything is good enough and it didn't need to be a massive swerve heel turn so good job.

- Maria on Raw certainly gives you the chance to make some interesting matches but I'm more interested in seeing who you pass the GM title onto as she can't be GM for long if you hope to continue seriously, or at least that's what I think.

- You seem to have a penchant for making Heel/Heel v Face/Face tag matches with respective rivals and although it does happen it seems a little too much like trying to find a way to squeeze feuds into a show. I'm primarily thinking of Striker/Masters vs Show/Carlito. As well as numerous 3/4 man tags on SD and although I know they are used a lot in real life maybe a little bit of overkill for my liking.

- On SD I'm glad to see Rey looking strong as a weak champion is the worst thing any show can have.

- Lance Storm return seemed like a last chance shock/desperation effort and although Diaries don't have to be ultra realistic I would have liked to have seen someone else come in, somebody who hadn't semi-retired.

- This brings me onto my final point and biggest grievance. You really seem to be trying to shoehorn ECW into things with no real reason. Ortons challenge seemed very random despite the cage reference as did MNM's, both just seemed like trying to get ECW to make an appearance to promote ONS and it isn't really necesarry. ONS would sell itself and unless you plan to use it for a storyline or carry on with ECW afterwards I wouldn't bother with it. Sabu seems the most plausible entry as the maniac who the Undertaker can't beat but Roadkills inclusion was pretty pointless and Henry's situation has left me a little confused, although that could be because I'm slightly intoxicated, as to where he lies in regards to 'Taker and Davairi.

Overall so far I would say C+/B-. Interesting so far and I'm waiting to see the payoff of everything as I think that will decide if this diary will sink or swim.

NWA World Heavyweight Championship

"Captain Charisma" Christian Cage © vs. "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner

Steiner is too old and doesn't have the talent to carry the top title and even if he was to pull it off who outside of Cage can really feud with him?

World X-Cup Final - Ultimate X Match

Jerry Lynn (Team USA) vs. Shocker (Team Mexico) vs. TAKA Michinoku (Team Japan) vs. Petey Williams (Team Canada)

Being part of the regular team makes me think that the Canadian should take it and cement Team Canada as a real threat in TNA.

Grudge Match

"King of the Mountain" Jeff Jarret vs. "The War Machine" Rhino

After the beatings Rhino's been taking he needs a win here or he isn't going to look quite as war machine as he should or could.

NWA World Tag Team Championship

America's Most Wanted © vs. The Naturals

Just take the titles off them and get some sort of new tag team in there.

TNA X Division Championship - No Disqualifications

"The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe © vs. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles

Styles to take a complete and utter beating to the point of being KO'd by Joe. I would like to see Joe move out of the X-Division but him and Williams seem to be the only heels in there any the loss he would need to get out would make him look weak.

The James Gang vs. The Latin American Exchange w/Konnan

Without a win the newboys look weak and they need to look a threat at the moment.

World X-Cup Round 3 - Ladder Scramble Match

Sonjay Dutt (Team USA) vs. Mosco de la Merced (Team Mexico) vs. Kaz Hayashi (Team Japan) vs. Teddy Hart (Team Canada)

I could see him as the man to hang around after the XCup despite his bad attitude and a win in this one will really let Mike and Don pimp him big style.

1. Will Jeff Hardy show up at the PPV? Yes. He has to be. He'll fight Shelley or continue there feud.

2a. Will there be any debuts at the PPV? Yes

2b. If you answered Yes to 2a - who will the debutant be? Somebody to take on Cage...maybe...Lance Storm? Oh I don't know but hell it's worth a guess.

3. Which team will be the overall winner of the World X-Cup? Canada

Stepping away from the normal diary with the goals is a good idea. Hopefully it will give you and us a better idea of where you're going with everything as well as throwing up a few challenges.

With reference to Goldberg though, having him storm through the roster and dominate won't look good when he can't wrestle as I'm sure the TNA fans would realise in real life and also when it crushes the morale/overness of the current breed only for Goldberg to leave and to leave everybody else looking weak.

Overall, it's a good start and I think it would be even without the goals but they do add that little bit more. It also feels like TNA with the main event scene and you're doing a good job of keeping it some what true to life.

I saw this title on the first page of the boards a few days ago. I was more than half expecting a domination scenario but reading the first few paragraphs intrigued me. Unfortunately I never managed to get further and forgot about this. So I was pleased to see it there on the first page again today to remind me to read it.

So far it has certainly been worth the time to read it. Probably one of the most entertaining diaries I've read on here. The particular interest in this for me seems to come from the author knowing what happens and what could have happened such as Nigel McGuinness becoming a top heel or Kennedys popularity. As well as the hints at little things I would have otherwised glossed over or forgotten about such as Mitchells words to Abyss have left me intrigued as to what it's all leading to. So far it seems all roads lead to one massive storyline and giant revelation. I certainly hope so.

The realism is also there, how many diaries would have had Y2J on the first show or WWE releasing huge names for them to turn up a day later. You made reference to them, you've even stated how close they were to turning up but they never did. Further adding to my curiousity. Without these big names that it would seem impossible for TNA to defeat the WWE but apparently they do and I'm looking forward to finding out how they do it.

What you have managed to do is stay true to reality. Both in your booking of TNA with numerous 6 man matches and more clusterfucks than two can tell but also with the introduction of famous Indy or not so famous WWE talent.

My only slight concern is that allowing TEW to book the WWE will lead to it simply becoming farcical. I would have probably preferred you to make a few timely interventions in what the results were, changing the odd outcome here and there to make it more believable. Already I'm worrying that WWE having Trish v Mark Henry for the world title will cause them to commit suicide rather than your own splendid booking delivering the deadly blow to the WWE but maybe that's because I'm so caught up in your story of how TNA will topple WWE.

Long may this story continue and with the same depth that lends itself to the style of a book but also to keeping the action coming thick and fast.

Overall, top notch. Hard to fault you so far and I look forward to seeing more.

X-Division Cluster Handicap Match with 2 on 1 on 2 on 1!

Winner(s) Become The No1 Contender(s) To The X-Division Title!

Chris Sabin vs. Kazarian and Shane vs. Hector Garza vs. D-Ray 3000 and Shark Boy

This one is either going to be a hell of a match or a mess, or maybe both. In the end I see Kazarian and Shane overcoming the odds by cheating and working together like good heels do.

3Against All Odds

4 on 5 Handicap Elimination Match

NWA Tag Team Championship – The Last Man Surviving Wins The Belts for His Team!

American Patriots © and America’s Most Wanted vs. New York Connection and Naturally Dark

Just a guess, as much as I love the Patriots I would like to see what you can do with the Dark characters so I'd like to see a push for them.

Will Against All Odds see anyone leave TNA for good? Yes

If Yes – Who is going to leave? Savage will lose and make a retirement speech. I hope.

I don't want to give anything away as I read the spoilers and I know some other people won't have so I'll try to keep this somewhat general.

I love the way you book with what would appear no logic at all, in the sense that I sure as hell never think of it and isn't the sort of thing I would expect in the situations, but it damn sure works. It's different and is exactly what TNA actually need to become a global company.

And for those who haven't read the spoilers, I have and I still can't wait until I see the exploding barbwire match in its full glory. I don't know how Jarret will come back from that one.

WooHoo! Possibly my favourite diary ever returns. When I came on the board and saw this topic I got all excited and then thought it would just be some fool bumping a dead diary. Imagine my surprise and excitement when the last reply just happens to be from the author itself.

Like I say this diary is a real favourite of mine and I enjoyed every bit of it so far including the PPV review and I just hope it continues in the same vein for the future as it was always full of excitement.

Although now I wish I had never asked about the patriots in Q&P. But I'm sure I'll soon forget the dissapointment from that.

Good luck with it and just in case I didn't mention I'm glad its back. (Y)

WWF Championship Match:

Stone Cold Steve Austin © v. The Undertaker

--If Austin is disqualified, he loses the title.

If you give the title to Taker now then Austin has to stop being a cowardly heel and make some sort of attempt to get it back. I think it stays with Austin and when he does drop it it won't be to 'Taker.

Intercontinental Championship Street Fight:

Triple H © v. Kane

There hasn't been enough Kane/HHH hype for a title change to not ruin the belt. I say it stays with HHH and they lose the tag belts later down the line leaving them both as singles champs for a while.

Ladder Match for Kurt Angle's gold medals:

Kurt Angle v. Chris Benoit

Angles been getting the run around now. He'll steal a win, grab the medals and run.

Four Corners Elimination Tag Team #1 Contender's Match:

The Hardy Boyz v. The Dudley Boyz v. Rikishi and Haku v. Chris Jericho and Faarooq

--For bonuses, call the order of elimination. 1 point each.

Bradshaw will cost Jericho and Farooq. Hardys go on to face the champs.

Eliminations: #1 Rikishi & Haku #2 Dudleys #3 Farooq and Y2J

European Championship Match:

Matt Hardy © v. Val Venis OR The Goodfather

--BONUS: Who is the correct challenger? Goodfather and he wins so the Hardys can go on for the tag titles.

Hardcore Championship Fatal Four-Way Match:

Rhyno © v. Test v. Edge v. Christian

--BONUS: Who gets pinned? Test

Christian will pin Test after some confusion to set up a 3 way unstable alliancey thing.

Women's Championship Triple Threat Match:

Chyna © v. Lita v. Ivory

--BONUS: Who loses the fall here?Lita

This way Chyna gets distracted by say Steven Richards and Ivory pins Lita. Ivorys champ and Chyna says she was never pinned.

Light Heavyweight Championship Match:

Jerry Lynn © v. Spike Dudley

Push for MR. JL. A Big push.

BONUS QUESTIONS:

1) One of these matches will have some VERY mysterious interference. Which one? Austin/Taker.

2) Which match will get the WORST EWR crowd reaction score? Womens Title.

3) Which match will get the BEST EWR overall score? Its between Angle/Benoit for the technical and Austin/Taker for overness/brawling in my opinion....I say Austin/Taker.

This is becoming a favourite diary of mine. The slow build of the invasion is better than throwing every top name/midcard WCW star in attacking Austin nad having a brawl between WWF and WCW at the end of every show. The idea of Shane waiting to strike and winding up his father is a one I like although the interaction with Raven did seem a little off as someone mentioned before.

As for staying true to the time I think your pretty much spot on. The Austin/Debra/Taker segment was something I could see happening at the time. And your William Regal is perfect, you have the guy down perfectly.

I'm hoping this continues to develop slowly but manages to keep us interested and we don't just see a plethora of mid match attacks by WCW stars but something more original for the Invasion itself.

Overall a really good diary that I'm really enjoying. Nice job!

I'm really liking this diary, I usually won't read a diary that's the rebirth of ECW with all of the old stars but I think you've got enough changes and enough additions to make it seem new but familiar.

Cage Match [World Heavyweight Title]

Rob Van Dam .v. Steve Corino .v. Rhyno .v. Matt Hardy .v. Tajiri .v. Chris Jericho

The way this ones been built up it could go anyway. Maybe its just my memory though but Corino and RVD don't seem to have been built up as much as the others though and I think Jericho is going to steal this one with some underhanded tactics. Boosts his egomaniac, better than you gimmick and he can be a great springboard for some top class feuds. I say Y2J = ECW's HHH! Go with it, it'll rule.

Television Title

Justin Credible .v. Nova

After all the abuse from Credible I see Nova turning it around when it matters.

Table Match [Tag Team Titles]

Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley .b. Doring and Roadkill

Myabe im reading too much into the typo but tables = Dudleys for me and having them lose so soon after there debut takes the shine off it.

Sean O’Haire .v. Rey Mysterio

An even match after Reys west coast splash on Hardcore TV. But I see O'Haire winning after dominating, then being on the wrong end of a comeback, then cheating.

Billy Kidman .v. Spanky

Meh, I guess I forget about this one to be honest.

Paul London .v. Frankie Kazarian

London just can't bring himself to use the chair and whammo picks up the L.

BONUS: Who is the new ECW commissioner? Dreamer seems like a good choice but Im thinking swervey surprise time and going for Terry Funk

BONUS: Who is the Impact Players’ debut? Lance Storm Straight out of OVW and back in ECW baby. I will mark out for this.

BONUS: Who is the other big surprise that Heyman is gloating about? I think Taz...the gulp seemed a little false at the will ECW be big enough for him comment.

BONUS: Which roster member has entered rehab? Doring Just to be different

Well I'm sad to see this Diary go as I was really enjoying it but at least it went out strong and didn't slowly fade into nothingness. Anice twist at the end as well as it would have same to pass. So congratulations on a good diary and good luck with anything new you come up with in the future.

TNA Final Resolution Review

So here we are at NWA: Total Nonstop Action Wrestling Final Resolution. And it all starts off with a nice opening package. Maybe a little cheesy with the Resolutions of all the stars, made me think of celebrities telling everybody what they’re thankful for to teach everyone the true meaning of holidays and all the rest. But enough of that onto the show, West and Tenay are talking us through this one and they take a while to hype what really is a packed card, a lot of potentially big matches and a lot of potential banana skins as well.

NWA Tag Team Championship – Four Corners Match

New York Connection © vs. America’s Most Wanted vs. American Patriots vs. Kazarian & Shane

I hold out high hopes for this match as I’m the patriots’ biggest fan, they remind me of Los Conquistadors crossed with old school faces and I love it. So the match starts out with Shane and Kazarian working over Harris before the inevitable face comeback as Harris started to teach Kazarian a thing or two. HOUSE ON FIRE! The one thing you know you’re going to see in any tag team match, a face who is on fire. That’s exactly what Harris is with furious offence even taking out Swinger who was on the apron. Backfires on him though and Kazarian gets the close two before tagging out to Diamond. Eventually everybody piles into the ring and all hell breaks loose.

The Patriots and AMW are real tag teams not just two random guys thrown together. That’s what I like in a tag team, matching outfits and some sort of common bond that’s deeper than both being heels. So I say turn one of them heel and let them feud in the future. Anyways, brawling, spots and tag team manoeuvres all over the ring as everybody has a go at making themselves look good. AMW hit some finishing moves and the heels keep switching in and out before a cool spot sees Harris and Kazarian go over the top rope together. Really is a nice spot with Kazarian up in the powerbomb position before the two tumble over the ropes.

The faces line up behind the heels, wait for them to turn, still waiting, waiting and they finally do. Harris and Swinger brawl while Diamond gets the golden eagle and Patriot 1 gets the 1,2,3! Patriots win.

Rating: ***

* for the start, * for the Patriots winning, ½* for the Harris/Kazarian spot and ½ * for the double teaming in the middle.

Decent match would have enjoyed a few more tags as a lot of the men didn’t even get to be the legal man but still decent.

Its always good to see real tag teams that have always been tag teams like it should be not just two people thrown together for the hell of it.

A quick bad ass, no respect for no-one heel promo from Kid Kash and some staring from Dallas leads us to;

Tag Team Grudge Match

Kid Kash and Dallas vs. Rowdy Roddy Piper and Jimmy Snuka

I can’t say I was looking forward to this match. I think Kash could be doing a lot more than feuding with Snuka and Roddy all about a coconut. But here it is, I wasn’t holding out high hopes for this match as Snuka and Roddy are past there prime and Dallas doesn’t seem like he can cut it. Now, the match: Dallas takes control after jumping Roddy and uses his size to his advantage. Roddy eventually fights back with right hands and here comes that house on fire face I warned you about. Roddys offence consists solely of right hands which remind me of his boxing match back in the WWF.

Kash comes in and beats down on the already beaten Piper with some high risk stuff. Piper mounts a come back thought thanks to….A RIGHT HAND and follows up with…A DROPKICK! He’s doubled his moveset right there. The refs back is turned for the finale as a coconut shot from Piper to Dallas followed by a superfly splash gets the 3 for the Legends.

Rating: * for the effort from Dallas and the Superfly splash.

Hmmm…if I were a boxing fan this would have got a lot higher thanks to Roddys right hand. Keep the legends for interviews and promos just don’t let them wrestle it really is for the best.

Looks like a Dallas/Kash feud could be on the way as Dallas stormed off hopefully if that does happen it’ll either show that Dallas is a talent or see him be buried somewhere far, far away.

A short hype video then leads us to:

New York Streetfight

Glenn Gilberti vs. Johnny B. Badd

Badd starts off like a big ball of anger and bounces back and forward before taking Gilberti down and going to look for some weapons. This New York Streetfight looks very similar to any other sort of streetfight no matter the location. After much searching for a devastating and inventive weapon Badd comes up with a chair and suffers an axe handle from the apron due to his poor treasure hunting skills. The axe handle is way over sold and both men stay down as if there under fire. A comedy spot (It had me laughing) sees Gilberti hit an inflatable statue of liberty with a chair and apologising before realising his mistake and turning around in time to catch a dropkick to the chin. Cover from Badd gets the two and it would appear that this match is falls count anywhere.

Some more offence from Badd before he stops to eat a hotdog (with sauce) before he rams it into Gilberti's face for that sense of humiliation. Badd tosses trash cans and a table into the ring with his opponent and suffers a blow to the skull for his idiocy. Glen sets up the table and both men try to use it battling to put there opponent through it. A suplex through the table only gets a two for Badd and he sets up another for another try. Some slow climbing to the top turnbuckle and exchange of blows and finally Badd hits a DVD through the table from the top rope for the win. A real nice finish, I certainly wasn’t expecting something like that to finish off.

Rating: **

*for the majority of the match, * for the DVD through the table and the hotdog spot.

A DDP interview and a brief recap leads us into:

Konnan vs. Diamond Dallas Page

I’m a big DDP fan but I hate Konnan more than life itself so lets hope that’ll even things out and I hope maybe this heel turn for Konnan could change my ways as he’s becoming more…palatable. Page stomps a mudhole in Konnan to start before some slow paced brawling takes over. The two then treat us to an old fashioned stand off which I haven’t seen for a long time before an exchange of blows before DDP takes control. The whole stand off brings back memories of Austin vs. Rock back in the day and that’s always a good thing.

Page hits a sidewalk slam and gets a 2 count from it before resorting to a headlock. Both men are getting there breath back and Konnan battles out of it. World’s worst rolling thunder clothesline from Konnan and I think he may have actually just tripped up because that was a shambles. An original spot sees Page pretend to be out when he actually avoided the clothesline and he reverses a pin but just gets a two. Konnan and DDP exchange attempts at Diamond Cutters and I think of Austin/Rock again before DDP nails the diamond cutter and the lights go out. It’s the worlds most over used spot but it still works. They come back on and the ref is out and Vampiro is there. VAMPIRO? What the hell? I sure as hell didn’t see that coming. DDP gets DDT’d by Vampiro and Konnan makes the pin for the win.

Rating: **½

* for the match, * for Vampiro popping up, * for making me think Rock/Austin, - ½ * because Konnan can’t wrestle.

DDP looks like he can still put on a few good matches despite his age but Konnan still doesn’t look like he can wrestle, make him go evil, real evil and have a human torch match with someone. I’d love to see Konnan burning and if it can’t be in hell it might as well be Orlando.

Backstage there’s an interview with Jarrett before:

NWA Heavyweight Championship

Jeff Jarrett © vs. “The Macho Man” Randy Savage

I want to see Jarrett drop the title as much as the next man, he never seems to do anything with it but dear God don’t let him drop it to Savage. Giving Savage the title when he’s so out of shape he wears a coat to hide his figure would just be silly the guy should be putting over the younger talent instead of being a championship contender.

The start saw Savage dominating with elbows and not much else before some not so quick near falls were exchanged. Jarrett began to take over and nailed some slaps to the chest of Savage and Savage is lit up, I think Jarrett may have doing this for his own enjoyment. Savage fights back with some right hands and goes for the rest hold. Savage has lasted about a combined total of 2 minutes on his feet and most of that time was being slapped in the corner. Jarrett manages to avoid defeat by raising his arm at the third attempt and Savage can’t believe it as the champion mounts a comeback. The ref gets taken down inadvertently and misses the pin after Savage hits the elbow from the top. It’s predictable but still enjoyable.

Then comes surprise appearance of the night number 2: Lex Luger. Luger hits Savage with the title belt and Jarrett picks up the 3 and retains his title. Please God don’t let this lead to a Luger vs. Savage match down the line. Neither or them could hardly wrestle 15 years ago let alone now. At least Jarrett kept the belt though.

Rating: *

* just for the relief that they never put the title on Savage. Luger was a surprise but after the initial shock it was a sort of “they can’t really expect him to put on a match” surprise.

Now its time for the match I was looking forward to; The NWA X Division Championship match, after the required hype video we go straight into:

TNA X-Division Championship

Chris Sabin © vs. Petey Williams

The match starts off fast and furious and it looks like its all going to continue that way. Sabin takes control early on with snapmares and chokeholds and then Fairplay gets involved. I like to see old school conniving managers not these fancy good looking valets. It’s the easiest and possibly the best way to make someone a real heel: give him a cheating manager and that’s exactly what Fairplay is. I was never a Fairplay fan but I can see how he can work as a really good heel manager with his cocky attitude. But anyways, Sabin chases Fairplay around the ring and then sidesteps a dropkick from Williams and Fairplay escapes. A real stiff looking shining wizard only gets a two for Sabin and already this is a real fast paced, high action match.

A lot of fast exchanges of blows and near falls for both men. Possibly spot of the night so far comes as Williams hits a sort of springboard clothesline onto Sabin who is already on the top turnbuckle. That gets a real close count for the challenger and this top class match continues. Williams takes control until Sabin delivers a brutal backbreaker for a 2 count. The two then roll across the ring a few times before Williams is sent over the top rope in another great spot in the match. Sabin takes his attack to the outside with a somersault plancha that catches Fairplay and Williams and the high spots keep coming thick and fast in this match. Sabin then powerbombs Williams into the guard rail in another spot that looked very dangerous and very cool. This is the type of action deserves replays not an axe handle from the apron.

The action is taken back into the ring and Williams dominates for a while until Sabin reverses a Canadian destroyer into a piledriver this was another good exchange of moves from the two and this is a match and a half. Another spot of the night then comes as Williams suffers an overhead suplex from the top rope. A lot of reversals and exchanges continue in the ring before a few well placed shots between the legs for each. A series of close falls came after that and it looked as if either man could win it until the Canadian Destroyer picks up the win for Petey Williams.

Rating: ****½

This match was worth the price alone. Spot after spot that were original and dangerous. *** for the match in general, * for the top rope spots and ½ * for the wicked powerbomb into the steel.

Raven’s Clockwork Orange House of Fun – 6 Man Tag Team Elimination Match

Raven, Slash and Sinn vs. Jeff Hardy, Ron “The Truth” Killings and BG James

I don’t know what to think about this match, its got a hard act to follow. It seems like a way to sort of throw the Kru and Slash and Sinn into a match and I think it could fall flat on its face. The action starts with brawling all around the ring from the start with all of the men except Hardy and Raven involved. Hardy begins to nail Raven with right hands but Raven uses a poor toe hold to reverse the momentum and now the New Church are in control.

James takes a double chokeslam off the stairs and I really never expected James to take any sort of bump like that and it leads to James being eliminated. Slash and Sinn then double team Killings until a botched Superkick from Slash leads to Sinn getting caught and being eliminated. And so far for a hardcore match its not very hardcore as Raven chokes Hardy with a pipe. Eventually Hardy suffers from some trash can shots and the match becomes ever so slightly hardcore. Meanwhile Killings hits a facebuster and eliminates Slash.

The faces now outnumber the heels until Naturally Dark interfere, who I may add I’m happy to see have something to do these days, and lead to Killings suffering an evenflow and being eliminated by Raven. House on Fire time now as Hardy fights off all three members of the church and is left alone with Raven. Hardy finally picks up the win with a senton bomb onto a chair which is on top of Raven.

Rating: ½ *

A real shambles of a match if you ask me, lots of generic brawling and nothing really exciting except for BG James’ bump through the tables.

An interview from Christopher Daniels then leads us to:

Christopher Daniels vs. Elix Skipper

The match starts off with reversal after reversal and without any real offence. Eventually a really impressive flip into a facebuster from Skipper gets a 2 count. A kick to the groin slows down Primetime and Daniels then hits the Best Moonsault Ever (his description not mine although it is very good) and gets a 2 count. Another good reversal then sees Daniels suffer a neckbreaker from Primetime and another near fall. Another reversal from Daniels who wriggles out of a play of the day and another close call for Daniels.

Daniels is then sent to the outside from a clothesline and Skipper attacks him with a springboard 450 to the outside. That was a real big move and the crowd loved it. And one good spot deserves another as Daniels hits a springboard hurricanrana from the guard rail. This is the type of fast paced high risk action the crowd wants from the two men. Back in the ring there’s another close fall for Daniels and the match is literally full of them after almost every move. The pace quickens now and Daniels is powerbombed into the turnbuckle after a failed hurricanrana and then its followed through and Daniels is flapjacked onto the mat over Skippers head.

Skipper uses a couple of Texas Cloverleaf’s to try and put Daniels away but he manages to battle out and this match is now picking up the pace and isn’t seeing as many reversals as in the start of the match which is nice. Daniels then suffers at the hands of his own cheating as Skipper knocks him into the turnbuckle that Daniels exposed and Skipper suplexes and bridges him for the win.

Rating: *** 3/4

The second half really saved the match as the first half lacked any real offence but a few nice exchanges and spots towards the end mean it was a good match.

First Blood Match

Abyss vs. “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown

It seems blatantly obvious that Monty Brown won’t be losing this since we all know he has to get a title shot otherwise he will amount to nothing. So here we go, Monty takes the advantage from the start and is hammering Abyss before sending him over the top rope. Impressive move and it really shows just how powerful Monty is that he can send the resident monster over the top. But Abyss climbs right back in and gets hit with the Pounce and Monty gets the 3 count! Only it doesn’t matter because its first blood, I bet there were a lot of people right there who thought he had won it.

Brown then resorted to using a ladder but he can’t bust Abyss open before Abyss nails a blackhole slam and gets his own 3 count. I like it, really shows how strong the two men are as both could have won the match inside 3 minutes so far. Quick exchanges of moves and Abyss has his chain that he tries to bust Monty open with. Abyss goes searching for weapons and comes back with a barbwire bat which is a real weapon for busting someone open with. Abyss never gets to use it though as Monty comes out to meet him and starts to dominate before nailing a spinebuster through the side of the ring. A real big mover there and something I can’t remember seeing before.

Out from the back comes Jarrett, Luger and Savage battling on the stage and Luger gets thrown off it by Savage. Never expected Luger to do that either, at least TNA are getting there moneys worth for this appearance though. In all the confusion the referee gets taken down by Brown accidentally before hitting Abyss with the chair and busting him open. But the refs out, oh dear, how predictable. Brown then goes and drags Jarrett to the ring where they lock up and a misplaced chair shot from Savage hits Brown and he’s cut open. The referee now wakes up and declares Abyss the winner!

Rating: **

Abyss can put on a good match and the spot with the ring collapsing was good but the ending was really corny and is used far too much. Very, very, very, surprising that Brown lost though, if TNA can keep his momentum while he isn’t allowed a title shot there doing a hell of a job.

Overall: ***

The X Division matches really made it a show to remember with a few average matches thrown in. The match order seemed a bit weird, the NWA title match buried in the middle of the card before a below average hardcore match seemed odd since its supposed to be the biggest title in wrestling. I just hope to God we won’t see a Luger/Savage match as that could ruin the company.

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

That the sort of thing you were looking for TAFKA? I sort of got carried away at some points but what you gonna do eh?

Well I've been reading along now since the start of this diary and a lot of controversy and disagreements I won't comment upon but I will say that I'm loving the look of this so far. It's diaries like this where you make your own history and your own future that I really love.

Each backstory has been captivating but I've really enjoyed the Florida backstory morethan any and I look forward to the concluding part to it after the debates and have finished

Wow! What a show, been waiting a long time since the first half until the second but it was well worth the wait. Fantastic matches and angles all the way through. The tangled web that is the Main Event scene is really looking good coming out of Final Resolution and I look forward to seeing how its all going to develop.

I was pretty off with a lot of my predictions but I like that I like twists and turns so I'm actually pretty pleased that I was wrong

10 man over the top battle royal: Marty I feel like the old timer is going to grab himself a shot at the big time pumping himself before losing. Unfortunately.

Loser Leaves SSW: Santel He just can't cut it. You would have to get rid of him someway so you might as well make it live. Pearce can move onto bigger and better things.

Jannetty vs. O'Haire: O'Haire I see this developing into a Marty Sean feud with Marty winning battle royal to annoy O'Haire in the future and move him onto bigger and better things.

Lane vs. Saturn: Lane To win the match. Saturn to do some ass kickin afterwards of during for a DQ win or countout loss.

Rock n Roll Express vs. The Future: Future Cheating heels are always required. Rock n Roll lose out to give the new guys a push. Leading to a striker face turn in the future?

Fantastico vs. Smiley: Julio Looking like a big player in SSW and I see Smiley more as a comedy character than a champion. I see him being the easy target for upcoming heels to hate, giving him the title now will lose that possibility.

Hart vs. Kanyon: Kanyon The wiley veteran oversomes the cheating newcomer to further a feud perhaps?

Kanyon vs Fantastico: Fantastico Thanks to interference from Hart to make him a good old fashioned, whiney, revenge filled, smug git. Looking for a Kanyon/Hart Fantastico/Sanders feud from this point on.

Thats why I think. Who knows though, I hope for twists and turns. All I know is im eagerly awaiting every future development in this diary.

Heres how I think it's all going to pan out
