War To Settle The Score Period (May to June)

Big happenings and one of the more entertaining and shocking months. Harry Smith, who had since been fired, finally got a match against The Coach which would allow him to get his job back along with his cousin's. The final drops of sweat, blood and tears in the Lesnar/Christian feud was cpming as Christian was set to once again take on Lesnar. Austin Aries gained a huge fan following, hooked up with Nattie Neidhart and his career began to skyrocket. But the absolute most shocking happening was when Rob Van Dam made a surprise debut and on his first night, defeated Edge for the PWA Title. This was The War to Settle The Score, and things were never going to be the same.

BattleBrawl Period - (April to May)

On Monday Night Fight, Cactus Jack took on Carlito, but the match went to a double disqualification. The Coach, surprisingly, figured a winner needed to be decided, so he booked this match. Cactus Jack is still feeling the effects of last month's Hell in the Cell, but can Carlito overcome the veteran and Hardcore Legend? The Redneck Messiah is on a hunt for gold, and that particular gold that he wants is TAKA's Crown Title. TAKA has had a stranglehold on his title, and has yet to lose. He's an undefeated champion, but Noble has promised victory, and so has TAKA. Who will prove that not only their skills are superior, but that their word is more than iron clad? This is sure to be a classic, so don't miss it.

At a PWA Live Event, MNM and The Canadian Express had an altercation which set this huge match up. MNM have never had a challenge like the Canadian Express, but with the challenge ahead of them, can they use their tag team experience to overcome the wily Canadian duo? Tune in to find out if we'll see new World Tag Team Champions crowned. Ever since Matt Hardy stuck his nose in Bobby Lashley's business, he has been a throrn in his side. Whether fighting, teaming or shaking hands, Matt Hardy is everywhere, and Lashley has not only had enough, but he wants Hardy's belt too! He'll get his second shot at the US Title at BattleBrawl, and you can damn sure bet that he'll make the most of it.

Abyss took out PWA CEO, Shane McMahon, allowing his associate and fellow Elite Alliance member, Coach to take over the PWA. The Coach booked Harry Smith's cousin, Teddy in a match with Edge where the loser would be fired. Edge won the match, and Teddy was gone, but the catch was that Harry was the guest referee. Feeling guilty that he may have caused the nervous breakdown of his cousin, he begged for Coach to rehire him. Coach agreed, but only if he could defeat Abyss!

Lesnar and Cage have been at each other's throats for weeks now, and we thought it all culminated at Champion's Showcase, but we were wrong. The issue continued, even going as far as Lensar and the Elite Alliance kidnapping Christian's wife, Denise and breaking her hand. Christian took care of Lesnar, or so he thought, and Lesnar came back fighting, costing Cage the #1 contenders match. Christian held interim CEO Coach hostage, and demanded that he take on Lesnar at BattleBrawl in a First Blood Match. With both men being busted open on Fight, they are going to have their skin ripped apart easily one would think. Who will win this blood feud?!

Ken Shamrock won a mini-tournament to become the #1 contender to Edge's title. On Monday Night Fight after being berated by Edge verbally, and not being able to get a word in edgewise, Shamrock snapped and took Edge out. Edge was heard complaining of a broken rib. With the champion softened up, can Shamrock overcome his arch rival to become the PWA Champion?

Demonology Period - (March to April)

In the early shows, it was about establishment. Shane McMahon immediately had conflict with Jonathan Coachman who was the mouthpiece for Abyss. Abyss and Coach wanted domination, and immediately took out Shane McMahon. Edge called out Mick Foley who had since retired from the business, forcing him out of retirement and in the main event of the first episode of Monday Night Fight, Foley attempted to cost Edge a match against Bobby Lashley, but failed at his attempt. On April 6th, Bret Hart died before ever appearing on screen. Teddy Hart and Harry Smith teamed with their cousin, Nattie to form the New Hart Foundation in his honor and won the Tag Team Titles.

Brock Lesnar, who had aligned himself with Abyss and The Coach to form the Elite Alliance singled out Christian, and a massive blood feud had begun. Matt Hardy had become the #1 contender to Bobby Lashley's US Title, and Edge and Mick Foley were set to embark on a major match to crown the first PWA Champion. At Champions Showcase, the PWA's first major showcase to national TV, Edge hosted The Cutting Edge and tried to attack Mick Foley, but was put through a table. On this show, Shane McMahon faced The Coach and won the match, but afterwards was attacked by Abyss. The first stages of the Christian/Lesnar feud were settled, but the war wasn't complete when Christian picked up a victory by DQ.

**Just a note, this game is already in progress, so I will be doing an extended backstory explaining the events and happenings between March 2008 and September 2008 with a monthly explanation with explanations of events leading to their culiminations**

On July 2, 2005, the True Professional Wrestling organization opened up with Shane McMahon at the helm. McMahon had ended up having a falling out with his father, Vince McMahon and opened up his own promotion which was fairly successful. Then, Eric Bischoff who had since purchased the rights to the name WCW purchased TPW and WCW came back and reared it's ugly head to the public. And the company remained successful. They had a credible champion in Christian Cage, and a top feud between Christian and his friend turned enemy, Matt Cage. It was a top feud, but the end result wasn't positive. After a year of building up the match, Christian retained his title, but dropped it the next night to Ric Flair in a horrible booking decision which was the beginning of the end of the company.

In early 2007, the WCW which was legitimately the #1 promotion in America and the World, went out of business. The WWE purchased the company back and some, but not all of the contracts were picked up. By 2008, the wrestling community wasn't booming. WWE lost most of it's Global fanbase, and TNA remained exactly where they had been for years. Through this all, Ted Turner decided to get back into the "rasslin" business, and got his backers and financial advisors to invest, once again, into a wrestling promotion. The Premier Wrestling Alliance. He picked up some of the hottest talent on the market, hired a great top booker who went by the name Matthew Hullum, and to head the company, he hired Shane McMahon who had tried to rekindle his relationship with his father, but the reconciliation failed miserably.

By February 2008, the development for the PWA had been finalized, and they set their sites on a March television launch on a regional network in Atlanta on Monday Nights. By this point, TNA's iMPACT television show had made it primetime and SpikeTV opted to move it to Monday Nights against WWE's Raw which continued to air on USA. WWE no longer had SmackDown as it was cancelled in early 2007. TNA, WWE and the new rising cult star, PWA all had events on Monday Nights, so it was sure to be an amazing battle. Shane McMahon, Matthew Hullum and Ted Turner had helped to create something special. However, would they be able to rise up against the competition? With only a cult internet fan base, PWA seemed doomed to remain just that. The same thing happened to TNA. But they were determined to rise to the top. This is their acension....

Oh, and just for the record, I loved Nitro.

And problems in the Magnificant Seven means IV Horsemen return, right?

Awesome show, and I'd say 9/10. I was rooting for Christian, but after seeing what happened with Punk and Cabana, I can see why he lost. Awesome stuff, and I look forward to Nitro.

Awesome work, bro. I loved Thunder, and I am looking forward to Souled Out for sure. You know what you're doing, man. Keep the good stuff coming.

Man, I just realized that I have 3 WCW journals in my favorites list, and this is one of them. I am looking forward to what you do with WCW, so you've got a fan in me.

Very awesome, my man. I am drawn in and I must say, I love what you're doing. You got a fan in me, and I've got it bookmarked in my favorites list for further reading. Can't wait til the next show!
