not another rich man bought wwe diary. o well good luck i'll just when a show of your own comes

[Guest M Trizzo]

sigh Rich people suck :/ why cant a poor guy buy the WWE huh? maybe he blackmailed vince and vince "mysteriously" traded his company for a penny and nobody knows why?

[The Quasi Juice]

That would be stupid. Somebody buying WWE is more realistic because Vince always wants more money. Other backstory's like a wrestlers hits a fan in the crowd and that fan becomes Head Booker are weird and could never happen

Edited October 17, 2004 by Vroonland

[Benji]

I find it highly unlikely, especially seeing as WWE is not in any financial difficulties, Vince and Co. always know what cut backs to make to keep more than afloat, the company profits seem to be more and more each year IIRC. Anyway, you have me reading for a start, if you can keep me reading by adding more realism, we'll soon see.

[EndOfAnEra]

I think you can get more, storywise, out of blackmailing someone too. Ah well, we'll see where you take it.

[Essa]

Two million dollars for half of the WWE? That's ridiculous. Maybe two hundred million MIGHT make Vince think twice about POSSIBLY selling half of it to you. But two million? He'd shit all over that.

[YellowDiscipline]

2 mil prob wouldn't be enough to buy TNA.

[The Quasi Juice]

Did the story say he gave 2 million for 50% of the WWE? He gave 2 million EXTRA to persuade Vince to make him Head Booker. The story doesn't say how much he gave for 50% of the company but it's ALOT

WWE Smackdown!

Results 21 October 2004

Footage of last week's Smackdown! is shown. Rey Mysterio became the no.1 contender for the WWE United States Title and took on Carlito Cool but Cool cheated his way to victory. Also Heidenreich threathened Paul Heyman but then he went crazy in the ring. John Bradshaw Layfield retained the WWE Title against Hardcore Holly and Reigns, Angle and Jindrak tried to shave Eddie Guerrero bald but Big Show came to Eddie's aid and cleaned house!

The pyros go off, the fans go wild and Michael Cole and Tazz welcome us to yet another exciting Smackdown!.

WWE Tag Team Championship Match

Billy Gunn and Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Dupree and Suzuki

The current tag team champs came to the ring with there dog Fifi and Hiroko, who had the titles in her hands. Gunn made his return to Smackdown! and he got the crowd behind him because he danced with Scotty 2 Hotty towards the ring! Gunn started the match against Dupree and immediately Gunn took control using some hard hitting moves on the Frenchman. Basically the challengers dominated almost the entire match but because of Hiroko stopping Scotty 2 Hotty's Worm, Suzuki could get up and hit Scotty 2 Hotty with the Hagakure. Dupree took care of Billy Gunn while Suzuki pinned S2H to retain the Tag Titles.

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

Winners: Dupree and Suzuki ©

(73,69,78)

Announcement Time!

Theodore Long, the GM of Smackdown!, makes his way out to the ring and he has an announcement regarding tonight's Main Event! In the ring Long grabs a microphone and he begins to talk...

Long: 'What's up?! Last week we saw John Heidenreich threatening his own manager and he collapsed on the ground. Luckily for Paul Heyman, he didn't attack another fan in the crowd because that would've cost his ass. Now Heyman has two choices, or he makes sure Heidenreich calms down and doesn't attack another fan in the crowd or he MAKES Heidenreich shut up if ya know what I'm saying but I don't think Heyman is capable of doing that. I want to know if Heyman is going to stop being Heidenreich's manager or he'll stay his manager, either way he needs to get Heidenreich off the fan-attacking. Now onto Kurt Angle's gang. Angle, Mark Jindrak and Luther Reigns almost shaved Eddie Guerrero's hair off but luckily Big Show took care of them. Eddie Guerrero probably wants revenge so tonight it's going to be Eddie and the Big Show versus Kurt Angle and Luther Reigns (*fans cheer*). This playa is going to the back again, holla!'

Long goes away and Carlito Cool, the United States Champ, appears on screen.

(76)

I'll Spit On His Face

Carlito Cool is backstage with the WWE US Title around his waist.

Cool: 'Last week I showed the world that Rey Mysterio isn't cool. Mysterio thought he could strip me off the US Title but he was wrong. Mysterio became the no.1 contender, but I immediately took care of business and now nobody is the no.1 contender, which means I can lay back, watch TV, and be cool. Now I heard Rey Mysterio isn't here tonight, he's probably training for when he meets me in the ring again 'cause no doubt about I was much better then Mysterio. I guess he wants a rematch, but I am not scared of him. I’ll spit on his face..’

Suddenly Cool gets hit from behind with a chair by Rey Mysterio! He orders Cool to get up and then he nails him with a DDT onto the steel chair!

Mysterio: 'You cheated to defend the US Title, if you think THAT's cool then something is wrong with you. Now I'm going to do everything I can to get a rematch because now that I touched the belt once, I just can't get my hands off it, I need it!'

Mysterio rubs the United States Title a bit but eventually he throwes the belt into Cool's face, leaving Cool in pain.

(85)

Mark Jindrak makes his way out to the ring and he wants a microphone.

Jindrak: 'Stupid Big Show! If it wasn't for him, not only he but also Eddie Guerrero would be walking around totally bald! What Big Show needs to know is that Smackdown!'s number one player is Kurt Angle again, my boss, Luther Reign's boss. We are Team Angle, and we will dominate Smackdown! whether Big Show likes it or not. The show is over for Big Show, it's now time for two new superstars to rise....Luther Reigns and MARK JINDRAK!'

Funaki comes running to the ring and he dropkicks Jindrak down! A referee comes and he starts a match!

Mark Jindrak vs. Funaki

Funaki thinks he has control over Jindrak after the dropkick but Jindrak avoids another Dropkick and locks Funaki into a Half Boston Crab. Funaki is no competition for Jindrak as Jindrak shows he might just be the future of the WWE! Jindrak could've finished the match after he hit Funaki with the Mark of Excellence but he wanted to have more fun with the little Japanese guy. Jindrak threw Funaki onto every turnbuckle and stuff like that. Eventually he hit the MJ Delight on Funaki and he pinned him for the win.

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

Winner: Mark Jindrak

(68,62,75)

After the match Luther Reigns came to the ring and together with Jindrak they totally destroyed Funaki! Funaki had to be carried out of the ring on a stretcher. Reigns and Jindrak showed what they are all about!

Confrontation

The WWE Champion, John Bradshaw Layfield, is backstage and he just got the night off. JBL makes his way out of the arena and when he opens the door of his limousine, the Undertaker comes out! Undertaker scares the shit out of JBL and JBL begs Taker not to do anything stupid. They look into each other's eyes and after a long and silent break Taker points at John Bradshaw Layfield and he says 'Dead Man Walking'. JBL is shocked and the Undertaker just walks away into the darkness. Orlando Jordan comes running to JBL and he heard that Undertaker was in JBL's limousine. Jordan helps JBL get into the limo as JBL is still in shock from the Undertaker's weird appearance.

(89)

No Poem Tonight!

Heidenreich comes to the ring and by his side is Paul Heyman. Heyman yells at Heidenreich not to attack a fan, that's all he cannot do. Both men have microphones.

Heyman: 'As you can see Mr. Long, I am still Heidenreich's manager. Once I took a man called Brock Lesnar to the top of the WWE but later on he attacked me and now he has left the WWE. He's was nothing compared to Heidenreich. I know I can take Heidenreich to the same level Lesnar was, and that's the WWE Championship. The only thing standing in my way is Heidenreich's fan-attacking'

Heidenreich: 'Don't worry Heyman, I'm not going to attack people in the crowd again because it doesn't make Undertaker come the ring. Apparently he doesn't care shit about the fans! (*crowd boo's) I know you are all waiting for another masterpiece of mine, another great poem but not anymore. I'm through with poems. Now tonight it's going to be ME, against Hardcore Holly! I am going to break and shatter his bones and you know why? Because I am Heidenreich!'

Heyman: 'That's right, nobody can compete with this gigantic monster. Not the Undertaker, not John Bradshaw Layfield, not John Cena, nobody! Because of us JBL retained the WWE Championship at No Mercy, but we didn't do it for JBL. We showed that we are not scared of the Undertaker, well.....that Heidenreich is not scared of the Undertaker! Undertaker has always been the guy who kicked everyone's ass and who puts people in coffins or who throws people off cage's...but no longer! Taker needs to pass the torch and he'll pass it to Heidenreich whether he likes it or not!'

Heidenreich throws his microphone away and it almost hits Tazz's head!

They wait for Hardcore Holly and his match is next!

(70)

Hardcore Holly vs. Heidenreich

When the bell rings Holly immediately tries to take Heidenreich down with a clothesline but Heidenreich doesn't even move! Holly nails Heidenreich with a couple of right hands and he goes for a Belly to Belly Suplex but Heidenreich grabs Holly and he Suplexes Holly onto the ropes and Holly bounces to the outside of the ring! Heidenreich rolls out of the ring and he whips Holly into the steel ring steps twice. Heidenreich continues to kick Holly's ass throughout a couple of minutes but suddenly Holly counters a Powerbomb from Heidenreich and he throws Heidenreich over his back! Holly takes control over the match and Heidenreich can't do anything about it so when Holly for a Running Elbow on the outside of the ring Heidenreich pulls out a steel chain and he nails Holly with it! The referee rings the bell for DQ but Heidenreich continues his assault. He almost kills Holly by choking him with the steel chain!

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

Winner: Hardcore Holly

(75,70,80)

Shannon Moore vs. Billy Kidman

This was a very short match but also very entertaining. Moore stunned the crowd with a Corkscrew Moonsault while Kidman's 5 Hurricanranna's in a row were really cool as well. The match finished when Kidman drilled Moore with a BK Bomb and the Shooting Star Press! Moore looked in terrible pain after the Shooting Star Press as Kidman slowly walked away showing no respect at all.

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

Winner: Billy Kidman

(74,59,89)

Bubba Ray and Spike vs. Haas and Rico

Miss Jackie didn't walk Haas and Rico to the ring, she is injured for an unknown time and weirdly enough, same goes for Dawn Marie so that storyline is over (thank god). Every time throughout the match when Bubba did something wrong Spike yelled at Bubba and he ordered him to do things, which is extremely funny to look at. Although Spike thought he did everything right, HE was the man who got pinned after he was surprised by Rico with a Spinning Kick!

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

Winners: Haas and Rico

(79,73,85)

Mentor

Kurt Angle's music hits the arena and Angle comes to the ring with his medals.

Angle: 'Did you guys see Mark Jindrak beat Funaki easily? He played with him like he was nothing and you know why Jindrak couldn't do that before? Because then I wasn't his mentor yet. He and Luther Reigns are learning from me. I came to the WWE and I became the WWE Champion in my first year so I know how to win matches and I know you can be the best in the business. Of course I want to be the WWE Champion, who doesn't, but I'm also going to be a mentor for the people in Team Angle. I see a future in Jindrak and Reigns....not in Funaki! Haha. Next up I'll fight with Luther Reigns against 'Baldy' Big Show and Eddie Guerrero, and I ain't scared 'cause we are going to win and Team Angle will stand tall!'

WELL, WELL IT'S THA BIG SHOW! Big Show and Eddie Guerrero come riding to the ring in a low rider and the crowd goes nuts!

(94)

Big Show and Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle and Luther Reigns

Show and Guerrero slowly come out of the low rider and Reigns probably thinks it's taken too long so he appears and he smashes Guerrero's head onto the window of the low rider! Show takes Reigns down with a hard right hand and he drags him into the ring where he meets a Clothesline from Angle. Angle goes immediately for the Ankle Lock but Show kicks him away. Show nails Angle with a Headbutt while Eddie Guerrero walks to the ring after the window-accident. Big Show seems to be stronger then he has ever been in the WWE and he doesn't allow Angle to do much. Eventually Angle kicks Show against his knee's and Show falls down, allowing Angle to finally tag Reigns into the match. Reigns tries to choke Show but Show gets to the ropes. Reigns allows Show to get up and he goes for a right hand but Show kicks Reigns down with a big boot to the face! Show tags Eddie Guerrero, who gives the smarks there satisfaction by doing some high flying moves. After minutes of raw action Eddie goes for the Frog Splash but Angle grabs Eddie and he Superplex's Eddie off! Angle tags Reigns who crushes Eddie with a huge Powerbomb. Big Show can't stand watching Eddie getting beat so he surprises Reigns with a big Choke Slam and then turns around into a brass knuckles shot from Kurt Angle! The referee didn't see it and Reigns tags Angle back into the match. Angle locks Eddie into the Ankle Lock but Eddie reverses into a STF! Mark Jindrak runs to the ring and distracts the referee while Reigns nails Eddie with the same brass knuckles as before! Angle covers Guerrero, Jindrak leaves the referee alone and Reigns takes care of Big Show, 1.......2........3! It's over, Kurt Angle has pinned Eddie Guerrero!

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

Winners: Kurt Angle and Luther Reigns

(86,88,82)

Mark Jindrak helps Kurt Angle back to his feet and the pose for the crowd. Big Show rolls out of the ring and he's pissed off. Smackdown! goes off the air with Team Angle standing tall in the ring!

Something isn't right about the lay-out, but I just don't know what to do :S

THREE SUPERSTARS ON THE INJURY LIST

After Taboo Tuesday, Batista suffered a ripped bicep and he's expected to return to the ring after 7 months, which is a pretty long time. 'This sucks, I was doing great with Evolution and now that's all over' said Batista. The big man was due for a push but now his career at the WWE might just be over if the WWE decides to release Batista. Also Dawn Marie and Miss Jackie are injured, but it is unknown when they will return. They were in a storyline together but that storyline is now gone and Head Booker Vroonland said he will probably not continue the story when they return.

Wait... he's injured so they'll fire him just after planning a huge push? Sorry to keep picking gaps in your diary, but he could sue their asses for doing that and almost guarantee victory.

The show was very mediocre... I'll pass on giving judgement until you get a bit further.

[The Quasi Juice]

Dude, that's no gap in my diary. If he's 7 MONTHS gone then that push will also be gone because then he won't be as over as he is now. If he doesn't get the push, someone else will get it. 7 Months is a long time dude...

And it says that IF THE WWE DECIDES....who says they will?

Edited October 18, 2004 by Vroonland

[Pesci]

Jesus. I wish people would stop nitpicking. Is the backstory unrealistic? Sure. Is the fact that the WWE may release Batista unrealistic? I really don't think it is. Remember when he got injured the moment his first big push on RAW began, leading to his return in September/October 2003? He was out for a while, just when the company had big plans for him. Now that he's out for another seven months just as MORE big plans start to roll in, I really don't see the problem. McMahon has been known to shit over injury prone guys. As for the backstory, once one person says it's unrealistic, what's the point of rambling on? If we've already established that, do we really need seventeen other people saying the same thing?

The booking is what counts, and right now, the booking seems just fine. Look at SmackDown!... Any problems with the storylines? Did he suddenly blow something off, ala Billy Kidman's new character? No, he kept with it and had him squash Shannon Moore. He had Heidenreich beat the hell into Hardcore Holly, just like he probably would. Infact, this is probably the most realistic booking I've seen in a while.

Give this thing a chance before you slam it. I think it's good so far, and I'll be reading.

EDIT: Having just read the show, it's not the best piece of writing, but there's always room for improvement. Most of your characters seem generic, so study a few promos and see what they really sound like. Long, in particular, didn't sound all that convincing. The matches are like a list of moves combined into one paragraph. Maybe add some opinions, and show feelings and emotion too.

Don't make pointless posts, like "the format isn't quite right", either. That'll get you a warning and fast, so just include a post like that with your next show.

Don't get me wrong, so far I have enjoyed the diary, but with several small holes it does frustrate me as a reader, it's called constructive criticism and I, as a reader, have a right to use it, whether Vroon takes into account my criticism is his choice, not yours.

WWE Velocity

Results 23 October 2004

In the first contest of the night Bill DeMott defeated the Japanese jobber Akio in a short but quite entertaining match. DeMott showed he is still able to put on some quality matches

(63,52,75)

Debuting wrestler Jason Cross almost pulled of an unexpected win over Johnny Stamboli but because of Nunzio, the FBI member walked away victorious to the delight of the crowd

(62,54,70)

A taped promo was shown of Booker T. He said he couldn't perform on Smackdown! because he had some family issues to take care of. The Bookerman said that Thursday he'll be running wild again. Now can you dig that, SUCKA?!

(84)

D-Von Dudley, who didn't wrestle on Smackdown!, lost in this match to Paul London in weirdly enough a pretty good match

(72,70,75)

Orlando Jordan thought he could easily grab a win here on Velocity but the debuting wrestler Nova pulled off a victory over the Chief of Staff!

(67,62,73)

On Smackdown! Billy and Scott 2 Hotty were really close to the WWE Tag Team Titles, here on Velocity they showed they are a hot new tag team as they defeated the Basham Brothers!

(72,68,77)

=========================

WWE Heat

Results 24 October 2004

Also on Heat a wrestler debuted with a win. Jerome Young showed to the world that he is a hot prospect in the wrestling business as he finishes Garrison Cade off with the Yonnonator after a mediocre match

(50,43,57)

After the first match Jerome Young introduced himself to the fans and he said he hoped the fans would have a great night. Jerome said he's in the WWE to become a big superstar and there is nobody that can stop him! Well isn't that just nice...

(53)

Gail Kim defeated Nidia in one of the best Women's Matches I have seen in a very long while and this one was on Heat for god sake!

(71,70,73)

Last week he was called Val Venis, now he is called Sean Morley again. Morley talked about being on Heat all the time and that he's sick of not wrestling on RAW all the time like he used to. Morley finished his segment saying that he'll face Rodney Mack in the Main Event and he'll prove that he is all that, and more!

(75)

Former FBI member Chuck Palumbo beat Al Snow and the fans didn't like this match one bit. Snow is a tweener and I guess the crowd saw him as a Heel this time, resulting into a Heel vs. Heel match

(53,40,66)

The hairy ape A-Train returned after being absent for a while and he destroyed Matt Cappotelli who didn't hit A-Train one time properly throughout the match

(63,62,65)

A video was shown and it said: 'HE'S COMING BACK, IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME!". Oh my god who is this guy getting a cool debut video?

(53)

Next, Sean Morley wrestled like he was in his prime of his career again. Rodney Mack pulled off some big ass moves but it was Morley who won the match with the Money Shot!

(66,59,74)

We got a 4.22 rating for 'Velocity'!

The attendance level was 8042 people.

We made $321680 from ticket sales

We got a 5.17 rating for 'Heat'!

The attendance level was 7543 people.

We made $301720 from ticket sales

Oh my god, I just have to put this here:

Bill DeMott: Akio and me don't have much chemistry in the ring. How about putting me in a program with a worker like Heidenreich? I think our styles would really work well together.

Dude it's EWR a game get over it, it's not like he really will sue and everyone will die...the worlds not gonna end

so far I will keep reading

The idea behind a realistic diary is keeping realism, threatening firings for merely being injured (especially in his workplace) is unrealistic. He has already covered it in a satisfactor manner for me anyway so just let it be eh?

I quite liked that format for Velocity and HeAT, although the main shows do need more detail I'd request of you really, up to you if you want to do that. Quick question, how are you going to cover all these Simon Dean promo's being repeated? Especially now Nova has debuted as Nova?
