:thumbsup: Absolutely loved the show! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping to see Rico pick up the victory over Haas. It would be interesting to see what Rico has in store for Haas were he to win. Also love the build-up to the tag title and WWE title matches.

Pyrotechnics explode as WWE Smackdown! Hits the air and the fans in the arena are going nuts…

"Army Of Me"

The fans immediately begin to boo as they hear the theme music of Paul Heyman's men... Heyman, RVD, Mike Sanders, John Heidenreich, Mark Jindrak & Luther Reigns appear on the stage and they all have big smirks on their faces. All six men get into the ring and don’t bother posing because the fans are already booing them loudly. Paul Heyman is the first man to grab a microphone...

Paul Heyman: We don't care what you people think... We know you are only jealous at how good this entity standing in front of you is... We are not scared of anybody... We have the soon-to-be WWE Champion, Rob Van Dam... The man who will defeat Rey Mysterio at Judgment Day, Mike Sanders... The Current WWE Tag Team Champions, Mark Jindrak & Luther Reigns...

Mike Sanders: So, Rey Mysterio, you want to come and get yourself involved in one of my matches... I don’t like that! Originally, I had planned to walk into Judgment Day, beat you, 1-2-3 and walk away... But now, you've made things personal and my new plan is to walk into Judgment Day, beat your ass to within an inch of your life and then walk away with an easy victory and you laid out and not wrestling anymore... If you don’t like the sounds of that, it doesn’t really bother me because you don’t mean shit to me!

Mike Sanders laughs as he shakes hands with Heyman... Sanders looks around the ring before finally handing his microphone over to Rob Van Dam...

Rob Van Dam: Yo, all you morons in the crowd better start the chanting going because in 10 days, you'll be looking at a new WWE Champion... That's right... Moi, will be the WWE Champion... John Cena can bring his c-rap down to the ring and get it beat by Mr. PPV... Tonight, will be the first big step in the destruction of the homie, John Cena... You just have to watch tonight's match to believe me... There isn’t anything that is going to stop... R-V-D!

Diamond Dallas Page: You've got to be kidding me Kurt... "For no good reason"?... I thought he had good enough reason for what he did... So NO! I do not have any sort of punishment lined up for Brock...

Kurt Angle: This is the reason why I've never liked Smackdown!'s General Managers... You all discriminate against a true champion... an Olympic Gold Medalist... Even Eric Bischoff is by not stepping in and showing you how it should be done... Your going to suffer the same fate as the other Smackdown! General Managers... You'll soon be fired... It's just a matter of time...

Kurt Angle walks away with DDP left standing around in his office thinking bout what Angle just said and the fans in the crowd are booing loudly...

~BREAKING NEWS~

Eric Bischoff has decided to leave the WWE! Writers are currently in a bind and both Shane & Stephanie McMahon have been trying to convince Bischoff to finish off his contract which expires next month.

Bischoff has not been real happy with the amount of television time he has got recently and has announced that he will work the next Smackdown! and Judgment Day but will not be back after the Pay Per View.

No news has yet to come about how Eric Bischoff will bow out on Smackdown! but it could be a way to move Edge & Christian to Smackdown! who recently did an angle on RAW where they quit.

In other WWE news Ivory will not be given a contract extension when her contract runs out at the end of May.

Christopher Nowinski, Garrison Cade & Antonio Thomas will all be called up to WWE RAW in the very near future. The three of them are no longer needed in oVw and will begin travelling with the RAW crew shortly after Judgment Day.

More WWE News as it comes to us...

Great show! I liked the way Magnus picked up the win, as it doesn't make Batista look weak due to being screwed out of the win and it sets the stage for a rematch between the two down the road. I liked the ending to the Jericho/Rhyno match as well. It's got me wondering just where you will go with it.

~WWE NEWS AND NOTES - Post Judgment Day~

With WWE Judgment Day being a huge success for the Smackdown! brand, our insider in the WWE has been kind enough to give us an inside scoop on some of the happenings on the WWE Smackdown! brand...

Edge is in line for a huge push and his feud with Brock Lesnar, which of course was initiated at Judgment Day, might be just the feud he needs to push himself into a real main event star... One has to wonder though where this leads Christian... Well many backstage are pushing for Christian to turn face, with the reason been that if he were to turn face, he could have a feud with a heel Edge somewhere down the line. It is not known though what Christian will be up to in the coming months.

John Cena versus Rob Van Dam was somewhat of a let-down to many fans throughout the world and the reason why the WWE cut this match a little short was because these two will face off again in the very near future and it promises to be a whole lot better than this match.

Kurt Angle suffered a thigh injury at the Pay Per View but he is expected to work through the pain.

Rico winning the WWE United States Heavyweight Championship was not something that many people were lobbying for with the reason been that Haas will someday be the WWE Champion. Don't expect Rico to hold the belt long, he might hold it til WWE Uncensored at the very longest which is the Smackdown! brand Pay Per View in July.

The Big Show & The Undertaker winning the WWE Tag Team Championships wasn't that surprising as many people thought. Show & Taker have not been involved too much lately but giving them these belts gives them something to do.

There are a ton of rumours flying around the Smackdown! locker room that there could be a huge trade between Smackdown! and the RAW brand at the end of June

We saw the debut of Steven Gerrard at Judgment Day. Gerrard is likely to work programs with The Big Show in the future and possibly form a "unique" friendship with the giant

John Bradshaw Layfield & Charlie Haas are two very strong candidates to take out the King Of The Ring tournament this year from the Smackdown! brand but JBL is expected to jump back into the main event scene very soon so it is unlikely he would get the win.

The Rock has gone on record, saying that he will be returning to the WWE very soon after signing a new contract with the company.

Chris Masters, Matt Stryker & Colt Cabana have all recently recieved dark matches on the Smackdown! brand and are currently touring with the brand. Any of these men could make their Smackdown! debut in the coming months.

Aaron Summers feud with Carlito is far from over. Look for some interesting involvement from Torrie Wilson to come in the coming weeks or even next Smackdown! when Aaron Summers faces Carlito in a King Of The Ring Qualifier.

Shane McMahon & Stephanie McMahon have been recently trying to get Tazz out of the announcers booth and back into the ring as a wrestler but it is very unlikely that Tazz will agree after been away from the ring for such a long period

June 12, 2005

Ive been reading ur diary and its really good. But anyways I like that your trying to bring in The Rock and Tazz.

Tazz=Ratings, but if he wrestles again plz dont make him a midcarder give him a push.

rocksta · June 12, 2005

Have you erm edited any ratings? Its fine if you did as long as ric flairs wrestling :wub: . One more thing that aaron summers dude he doesnt look quite 18 But i still love it

Magnus: Listen, I’m glad somebody has finally seen how big I could be one day but no thanks… Evolution isn’t something for me… I’m standing here looking at that WWE World Heavyweight Championship Belt around your waist and I’m thinking… Hmmmm, that could look good around my waist…

Triple H: Listen here jackass…

Magnus: Whoa calm down Trips… All I’m saying is that after I win King Of The Ring and get my title shot at SummerSlam… I will do everything possible to take that belt off the champ… Whether it be you or Ric…

Triple H: This belt aint going nowhere… You wouldn’t last two minutes in the ring with me… The only reason you beat Batista last week was because of that bucked tooth moron, Test…

Magnus: If you say so man… I’m not going to listen to anything you have to say… After all you probably will lose to Ric Flair at Fully Loaded…
