DeathInc2004

I have to disagree with the Villains claiming that "whoever that has the idol is a marked man". Come on, you WANT to be aligned with the person with the idol. Unless that person is , Ozzy or Erik (blindsided with Idol in pocket) or even WORSE, James (blindsided with TWO idols in hand) Now thats dumb.

This episode was true "Survivor-like" as both challenges had a close finish with nothing much separating the winners from the loser.

That said, I think the strategic plays are starting way too early with the elimination of Cirie. JT swing vote may come back to hunt him.

Scratch that. My bad

If goal keepers miss the ball and go straight through the player they get sent off it its stops a clear goal scoring opportunity, hence it shouldn't make any difference.

Heavy tackles from behind should always be considered for red cards, but just because a player is in front of the guy he is blatantly fouling makes absolutely NO difference.

Then maybe what Baddar pointed out earlier (where 3 defenders were already back and Evra was infront of them) was the reason Vidic was not sent off.

Dunno bout you guys but Vidic dis say something that got me thinking. He said he was "infront of Gaby" when he brought him down. Did that made any difference as to why he never got red carded?

That just goes to show how "unoriginal" WWE is. And has anybody realised that WWE has made no attempt at all to show that this is not their work?

I vote for Norris

Kidman gonna get his "ASS" kicked? Is that a hint Disengager?

I loved the fact that you brought back Sting but as a heel????? You better make him a top guy or I'll......I'll ...... stop reading your diary for a day!!! Nah .. just kiddinbg. Great PPV. And I came so close with the predictions ....

Yeehaa!!! The diary is back!! Great!! Now lets get on with the show!!

Haven't seen a RAW yet but I didn't like the Smackdown very much.  The layout was just annoying to read.  Plus I have problems with these diaries that bring in guys from TNA which wouldn't have been brought in otherwise.  I have no problem with diaries being less then realistic but seriously....Tazz back on the active roster?  The SAT in the WWE?  Dustin Rhodes...why would they fire him and then re-sign him?  Just doesn't make any sense.  And as for being in "Real Time" alright it's a cute gimmick but you realize there are only so many of these "behind the scenes" posts I'd be willing to read.  I want to read shows.  But thats just my opinion.

Mike Smiths Apartment

1000HRS

I could not believe what a week it has been for me. Ever since the appointment as the Headwriter of Smackdown was made official. After the meetings on Thursday with Kurt Angle and Mark Callaway, I have been working non-stop on the movie “The Marine”. I barely had time to rest as my breaks were used to come up with a script for the upcoming Smackdown. I had a lot of matches to plan as I had vacated all the titles. I know I will have my critics for doing this but this is for the long term good of Smackdown. I only managed to finish up the shooting that was required last night.

And last night, Mr McMahon helped me with my request and showed the “Best of WWE” instead of Velocity on the usual time slot. Just as I wanted as I wanted the viewers to be in anticipation of what is going to happen at this Smackdown. A couple of ideas bounced off my heads as I wrote down the matches. I had planned to meet Theodore Long later today as he is the GM and I need him to make my ideas work. But before I could go on, I called up Mat Bar to talk about the trades that we have discuss. There were still some chinks that needed to be ironed out and I WILL NOT want any of my starts appearing on RAW when it is still not yet sorted out. But the call turned out well as we managed to sort things out. So with that out of the way, I called Sophie to check if my 6 new signings for Smackdown have been approved. She confirmed it. 2 of them are former WWE employees and the rest currently working for TNA. But with their contract expiring yesterday, WWE just managed to get them to sign for us. I rub my hands in excitement. My plans are coming along well.

So, I left my apartment for the meeting with Smackdown GM, Theodore Long. We meet up at a café near my apartment as we started the meeting.

Me: Thank you for coming at a short notice. You do know the reason I called for this meeting?

Long: My guess it is about the upcoming Smackdown. What I want to know is how do you intend to crown new champions?

Me: I am glad that you asked Long. You see, from now till Survivor Series, we will have series of tournament matches for all the titles. And it will all culminate at Survivor Series where the finals are going to be played out.

Long: You really think that this will work?

Me: That is what you are for Teddy. You WILL ensure that it works.

Long: Ok, at least this is different from the crap that I have been doing since I became GM. You got the matches ready?

Me: Yeah I have. (hands over a piece of paper) Take a look and tell me what you think?

Long: I will .. (scans through the list) Wait a minute? What is this? You reinstated Tazz and Bill DeMott back as full time wrestlers?

Me: Yes. I guess Smackdown will need all the talent that they can get and these two guys sure look like one.

Long: You know what Mike, I like the idea.

Me: Now, I want you to pass these scripts (hands over stacks of papers) to all that are involved for the taping on Tuesday. I want everyone to be at the arena 1 hour earlier than usual. I want to have a briefing with them. And that will be all Long. See you and Tuesday.

Long: Ok Mike. See you playa !!!

WWE Announces New Signings for Smackdown

WWE are proud to announce that they have secured the signings of six wrestlers that will be joining the Smackdown brand. They are Chris Harris, James Storm, Jose Maximo, Joel Maximo, Big Vito, Dustin Rhodes and Jeff Hardy.

Jeff Hardy and Dustin Rhodes are former WWE employees who are believed to be in the good books of the new Head writer, Mike Smiths. Meanwhile the rest are said to be on WWE’s wishlist for some time, especially the tag team duo of Chris Harris and James Storm. When these new signings will debut is still unknown but it is sure to be a great debut.

***WARNING: Below may contain info that may be classified as spoilers at the time that I'm posting this. Spoilers courtesy of www.rajah.com.

Same Day

2100HRS

I turned on the television as Smackdown was about to shown on TV. I was not hired early enough for me to be in charge of this taping but I'm going to watch it anyway. I can use this as an opportunity to get to know the brand better and at the same time see what was going wrong with the show.

Smackdown (Taped on 26th October 2004)

The show opens with the normal pyros and sign. The camera immidiately goes backstage where Al Snow is with the Tough Enough contestants.

Al Snow is giving the Tough Enough contestants a look around at the arena before walking into a locker room, only to be thrown out by the Big Show. They then proceeded to the ring and each one cut a 20 sec promo, only to be interuppted by the Big Show. The giant then proceed to body slam every single one of them.

Man!! They should have never let those guys in the ring at the first place. They did not sell the move at all and it hurt Big Show character. However I do like the mean streak that the Big Show is showing at the moment. This is the Big Show that I want for MY Smackdown.

Chavo Guerrero defeats Nunzio with the Gorry Bomb. Billy Kidman was on comentary, and went to give Chavo the shooting star press, but missed.

Its good to see Chavo back after that serious injury but what were they thinking in letting Kidman try the shooting star press on Chavo once more?? I mean I'm more glad that he missed because I really do not think that Kidman can pull off the move good enough. He lacks the confidence. Kidman really need to try other stuffs.

Heidenreich begged Heyman to get Undertaker’s signature.

Urrgggghhh. Why is this guy even getting on screen time? Well NOT when I'm in charge. I think I might just send him down back to development. Very poorly booked.

Teddy Long said if Booker beats Orlando tonight, he gets JBL at Survivor Series for the title.

Sigh.... I feel sorry for Booker T. Because I'm scrapping all storylines, he WON'T get a title shot at JBL for the title. However, I have just a plan to make up for that

Rey Mysterio defeats Kurt Angle. Ref bump. Rey went for the 619 but was stopped by Jindrak and Luther - RVD came down, then Eddie ran in, gave Kurt the frog splash, and pulls Rey over for the pin.

After the match Kurt, Jindrak, and Luther are yelling at Eddie, Rey, and RVD in Teddy Long’s office - Teddy says at Survivor Series - Kurt and Eddie will each captain a 4 man team for a classic Survivor Series elimination match.

Good match here. Only disappointment is that Rey did not get a clean win. But Angle is getting better ring wise. So is Jinrak and O Haire. Hmmm .. should I let them be Kurt's protege? Another match scrapped for Survivor Series.

Josh Mathews tries to interview Carlito, but is threatened by Carlito’s new associate Jesus - he holds Josh while Carlito spits the apple in his face.

I hope Carlito enjoys his time with the belt because after this he won't have it, at least until he wins it back that is.

Kenzo tries to sing to Torrie again - but she says he’s freaking her out.

He should REALLY stick to his profession, which is just marginally better than singing.

Big Show tells Eddie he wants to be the 4th man on his team, Eddie agrees.

Big Show is a great guy on screen. I just love his work ethics of late. Big things are due for him.

Halloween costume contest - Torrie is a fairy, and Dawn Marie is a nurse - before the judging can begin, Miss Jackie attacks and strips Dawn Marie.

An unnecessary segment in my opinion.

All three Dudleys ask for one of them to be the 4th man on Kurt’s team, Kurt says if they can get rid on Big Show - he will agree. Spike says no problem, Bubba and D-Von look frustrated.

The Dudleys. What can I say that have not been said yet. Their chemistry with each other is second to none and I hope they will give to me the same kind of work that they are doing now when I start my stint as headwriter.

Booker T defeats Orlando Jordan. Afterward JBL almost teased turning on Orlando, but they shook hands - JBL says Booker will be just another opponent in his path.

Damn JBL. The more I see him, the more I am pissed about him meeting the meeting today. He is getting too cocky for his own good. So Booker WILL NOT go to Survivor Series to face JBL for the title BUT I got other things planned for him.

Overall a standard show. But with only 3 matches??? Is this even fit to be called a wrestling show? All of that is going to change. I better start writing out the script for Tuesday.

I turned of the TV as I turned on my laptop. In my mind, I am already planning out what the next Smackdown should look like. But before I started my work, I made a call to Mr McMahon, asking for a small request. What was it? Well, I asked for this week's Velocity to be changed to a Smackdown Special or a tribuite show. Anything as long as the guys are not involved. He agreed. So after the phone call, I start to type out my script for the show.

28th October 2004 (Thursday)

Mike Smiths Apartment

2000HRS

It has been a long day today. There was no shooting for "The Marine" as I had important business to attend to. I had planned a meeting with 3 Smackdown superstars in the afternoon but in the end only 2 showed up. It was fruitful enough but I had to take action againts the absentee. This is not the first time he had crossed paths with me. I will not tolerate this. The other two meetings were still fresh in my mind.

Meeting With Kurt Angle

Me: Thanks Kurt for meeting me. I want to discuss with you about certain things.

Kurt: So do I, Mr Smiths.

Me: Its ok Kurt, you can call me Mike. Its an informal meeting.

Kurt: Right, Mike. What do you want to talk about?

Me: Well Kurt, I want you to know that I have the uppermost respect for you. And I think that you are one of the top guys in WWE, regardless of brands.

Kurt: You can say that again. I mean, I am THE ONLY Olympic gold medallist in WWE history and I won that gold with a broken neck!!

Me: I know that Kurt but like I said in the meeting yesterday, past reputations and achievements counts for nothing. What I have in mind is pushing for a fresher approach. Newer stars.

Kurt: Hmm.. What do you have in mind??

Me: I was thinking, since you are already established main eventer, how about you give a rub to some of the other guys. Kind of what Triple H is doing to Batista.

Kurt: So you want me to take in a protege?

Me: Yes.

Kurt: So who did you have in mind?

Me: (Whispers to Kurt Angle) .......

Kurt: I like the idea very much.

Me: I know you would. I know.

The rest of the meeting went on smooth as we talked about possible storylines and what I had planned for him. Kurt Angle left the meeting looking pleased. Soon, it was time for me to meet Mark "Undertaker" Callaway.

Meeting with Mark Callaway

Me: Hey Mark, glad that you can make it.

Mark: Yeah me too. So what do you want to see me about?

Me: Well Mark, I wanted your views and opinions about Smackdown.

Mark: Why me? Why not ask Show or Eddie?

Me: Well Mark, its because you have been here the longest that I have known.

Mark: Thats damn tru. Its good that you recognize that. So you want to know what I think? I 'll tell you. I could not have been more happier that you vacated the titles. I mean the fans are not buying the fact the Layfield is the WWE champion. A lot of other guys deserve the title. Guys like Eddie, Rey Rey and even Booker.

Me: What about yourself? Do you think you deserve it?

Mark: I have held the title countless times and another reign will be nothing more than a blip on my career achievements. Do I want to be the champion? Yes. Do I need to be champ? NO!!

Me: I'm glad that you think that way, Mark. It will only make working with you much easier. By the way, you do not have to worry about being the top guy in the brand because I see you as the leader of the locker room. What I need now from you is to guide the young ones like Kidman, Haas, Carlito.

Mark: You want me to babysit?? No way man!!

Me: No!! That is not what I meant! I want you to be their shadow. Look at them and show them their place.

The meeting was soon over. Mark disagreed at some of the ideas but he was willing to give them a try. I guess that is why Vince McMahom likes the guy. Finally I am waiting for John "Bradshaw" Layfield.

Meeting with John Layfield

15 minutes passed and still no sign of him.

.

.

.

.

.

30 minutes and stil no sign of Layfield. I am slowly getting impatient. I called up Sophie and asked if Layfield had been informed about the meeting. She said yes but she had not been able to get through to him since the morning. This made me furious. It is one thing to be late. It is another to be absent. I guess I have to hit him where it hurts the most. His pocket!!!

Damn John Layfield. He is proving to be a headache which I really do not need at the moment. Maybe Taker was right. Maybe the reign that he had as WWE champion had gone to his head. Well it STOPS here.

Thank you for the advice stokerino. Btw who should I approach? Or if any mods read this, can you help in decapitalising the thread title? Thanks alot.

Edit: Thank you stokerino for bringing the matter up and thank you Small Blue (mod) for helping with the amenmend. That will be the first and last time.
