WWE after Wrestlemania XIX - The New Era

[The Quasi Juice]

Michael Davenport and John Johnson were two men with similar backgrounds. John grew up in 1960s New York and Davenport grew up in 1960s California. Both men wanted to be in the entertainment business. Michael entered it first in 1979 with a college B-movie. It didn't do that well. John graduated from college in 1980 and set off on his quest to make movies. In 1981, he made a cheap action movie. It was only released in the local area and sold well in the area. John and Michael would meet for the first time in 1984 when they both accepted jobs at Warner Brothers as writers. Michael captured Warner's attention with a award winning documentary on the solar system and his romantic comedy about a man who chases a girl around the world. John captured Warner's attention by doing a "documentary" on a Pro Wrestling company, Championship Wrestling of Florida. The whole thing was shot in kayfabe. Much like Michael, John followed it up with a movie. This one was more serious, it was a drama about a lawyer going through a mid life crisis. Both men shared a love for professional wrestling. John grew up watching WWWF and Michael grew up watching the Von Erich's promotion out of Texas whenever he visited his grandparents. Both men worked at Warner Brothers for years and even attended WrestleMania I. Both men produced a movie in 1990 that would find its way onto Ted Turner's TBS. Turner was impressed and immediately hired the two to Turner Broadcasting. Both men saw this as chance to work in WCW if they get the chance. In 1991, they were promoted to the WCW Writing Team. They did nothing of note before leaving in October of 1995. The two man booking squad booked a couple of wrestling shows along the way but they didn't gain a steady job until June of 1996 when they were contacted to assist in the writing of "Baywatch." They were hired at the recommendation of WCW who had done a cross promotion with Baywatch before. Both men worked at Baywatch until its cancellation in 2001. In 2001, they started an indy out of Southern California called "Hollywood Championship Wrestling." That quickly died out.. They went back to television. In 2002, they were hired to work on the show "That 70s Show" as consultants. They stayed there until January of 2003, they began negotations with WWE. WWE hired both men.

They were hired based on their wrestling and Hollywood background. They start after Wrestlemania XIX. Michael Davenport will do Smackdown and John Johnson will handle RAW.

WWE announces big signings

WWE has officially signed Paul London, Michael Shane and Bryan Danielson to developmental deals. WWE now officially has all of the Texas Wrestling Academy graduates that currently work the indies on payroll. Brian Kendrick was signed a few months ago and has already made his WWE TV debut. Unlike their colleague however, they will not have that benefit. London, Shane and Danielson are to report to OVW immediately for seasoning. Losing these three men, especially London and Danielson is going to deal a huge blow to the independent wrestling scene. Much like Brian Kendrick, this will be Danielson's second stint as a WWE Developmental worker. Danielson was released back in 2001 when HWA ceased to be a WWE Developmental territory. Danielson is held in high regard as one of the greatest workers in the indies so many internet fans are keeping a close watch on this.

Well I'm certainly interested in seeing where this goes. I hope FDM also carries on his Smackdown game but let's see how he works without JBL!

[The Quasi Juice]

I won't be carrying on my Smackdown! diary. I feel like I could do better and I made mistakes in the beginning of the SD! diary, like debuting too many people at once. I know Cool Xtreme Dude will get the best out of me. We want to get 1 show up every day so it would be extremely difficult for me to also continue my SD! diary. And besides, I know this diary won't be gone after 2 shows so I'm not even saying that my SD! diary is on "hiatus" because I think I'll never return to that one. I'm totally focusing on this diary now and I'm looking forward to getting this going

Note: I'll be trying a new format for my shows. I think it will be better.

Spokane Arena

Spokane, Washington

The Smackdown feed starts out with a Wrestlemania XIX logo and Michael Cole's voice saying "20 Years In the Making" this turns to still photos of Hulk Hogan vs. Vince McMahon. The main spots are shown in pictures with the commentary. After Hogan's pinfall is shown. It immediately shifts to stills of the WWE Championship match. Each main spot is shown with the peak being the botched SSP. The next still though is Lesnar connecting with the second F-5 to Angle and pinning him. The final still is Lesnar holding the championship)

("The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson plays. As soon as that ends, we cut to the arena where pyro explodes from the fist and we start circling the arena. Michael Cole is heard shouting over this)

Michael Cole: It's a new era on SmackDown! as we have crowned a new WWE Champion. We would like to welcome you to Tacoma, Washington where we hope to have an update on the condition of Brock Lesnar.

(The camera goes to the announce table)

Michael Cole: Hi, I'm Michael Cole alongside Tazz here and what a night, we had at WrestleMania.

Tazz: I'll tell ya what Cole, that was a rocketbusta. Brock Lesnar won the championship but not without paying the price.

Michael Cole: We'll have an update on that later on, now let's send to the ring and Tony Chimel.

Piper's Pit with Torrie Wilson

(We cut up to the ring and what looks to be the Piper's Pit set. It consists of a plaid carpet over the ring and two black leather stools sitting in the ring. Simplistic set.)

Tony Chimel: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for Piper's Pit. *crowd boos* I would like you all to please rise and welcome our host for this evening, Rowdy Roddy Piper.

(The familar bag pipe music starts up and the arena erupts into boos as Rowdy Roddy Piper steps through the curtain. Piper makes his way down the aisle and enters the ring. He grabs Tony Chimel's mic and sits on a stool)

Roddy Piper: Thank You Tony, you must be the Ed McMahon to my Johnny Carson. Next time, say Here's Roddy. Okay? Okay. Speaking of McMahon, what about that WrestleMania huh? I went out and whacked Hulk Hogan. Took me 20 years to finally get my hands on the man in a fashion that I would like. There was no nWo or anything to protect him then but still the little bastard won the match. Amazing. Anyway, I have a guest tonight. *Roddy stands up and reaches into jacket pocket* Ah yes, I have to interview a Playboy centerfold named Torrie Wilson. Ladies and Gentlemen, Torrie Wilson.

(Torrie's theme songs and the arena gives her a pop as she prances down the aisle with a Playboy in hand. She has a mic in hand as well. Torrie Wilson enters the ring and sits on the stool opposite Piper.)

Roddy Piper: Good evening, so I understand that you did Playboy?

Torrie Wilson: Yes I did.

Roddy Piper: So, how'd you like the experience.

Torrie Wilson: It was a fun and unique learning experience. I got to meet so many different people and............

Roddy Piper: I don't care who you met. I asked you, what was it like getting naked in front of complete strangers?

Torrie Wilson: Well, it was different for me. I'm not used to being naked, I'm a small town girl. I'm from Boise............

Roddy Piper: Sorry but this has been bugging me, didn't your dad die from a sexual overdose?

Torrie Wilson: Yes he did but I don't want to mention him.

Roddy Piper: Fair enough but I must see that Playboy.

(Torrie hands Piper the Playboy. Piper begins looking though the pages. He gets a bug-eyed look at one of the pictures. Roddy pulls the mic up to his mouth)

Roddy Piper: This is good.

Torrie Wilson: Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

(Roddy turns the page and makes comments as he does it)

Roddy Piper: Nice ass

(Turns the page)

Roddy Piper: Nice boobs

(Piper looks up at Torrie after that comment and the back down at the magazine)

(Roddy turns the page again)

Roddy Piper: Nice body.

(Roddy turns the page again but before he can comment, Torrie reminds them of the reason that they are here)

Torrie Wilson: What about my interview?

(Roddy holds one finger up to Torrie as if to signal for her to wait a minute. Piper now sits quietly flipping through the magazine. Torrie begins to get a look of disgust on her face)

Torrie Wilson: Hello? What about the interview?

(Roddy Piper signals for her to wait up again)

Torrie Wilson: Well Roddy, I mean, you looking at me naked isn't exciting to these fans.

(Roddy looks up from the magazine)

Roddy Piper: Look, I'll get to you later. I'm rea...............

(The Glass Shatters to signal the entrance music of Stone Cold Steve Austin. The crowd explodes when Stone Cold walks from behind the curtain. He is wearing his latest t-shirt with a pair of jeans. Stone Cold enters the ring and hits the turnbuckles to soak up the reaction. He asks for a mic as Piper stands up and puts the magazine down to look at the Rattlesnake who near the ropes facing the camera, Piper and Torrie. Torrie leaves the ring and stands on the outside.)

Stone Cold Steve Austin: Whaddya think yer doin'? I'm sitting in the back waiting for the right time to announce my new SMACKDOWN CONTRACT *crowd pops and shouts WHAT?* and all of a sudden, I flip on the monitor and see you out here readin' Playboy WHAT? Now, I ain't no damn idiot and I know when someone is bein' disrespectful and that's what you are doin' WHAT? I ain't gonna sit back there and watch some man in a dress *crowd pops* and Piper yells "It's a kilt" It's a damn dress, ya silly bastard WHAT? Now, I was sitting backstage at WrestleMania when I saw you run through the crowd and attack Hulk Hogan WHAT? I ain't the biggest Hulkamaniac in the world but clearly, something is wrong there when you are helpin' Vince McMahon defeat Hulk Hogan WHAT? Don'tcha know son that you never became World Wrestling Federation Champion because of that crazy sumbitch back there *points to backstage* as crowd yells "WHAT?" and now you are out here lookin' at Playboy and completely ignoring Torrie sittin' right here and I was sittin' backstage thinkin' "That ain't right" so I came out and put a stop to this crap before it got too far WHAT? It's gone too far.

Roddy Piper: What do you think you're doing? If you want to be booked for Piper's Pit then just call. I'll book you because let me tell you Austin, I am the greatest of all time. I main evented WrestleMania 1 and I fought Mr. T in a boxing match at WrestleMania 2. I've done it all while you are some farmer from Texas or where ever it is you came from. I was main eventing WrestleMania while you and your cousin was sneaking to the barn and having sex. Austin, you are nothing but an inbred redneck.

Stone Cold Steve Austin: I ain't inbred but I am a redneck WHAT? Now, let me go into some detail about my new contract WHAT?..........

Roddy Piper: Your new what? This is my show.

Stone Cold Steve Austin: We live in America, right? Ain't this a democracy? Let's take a vote. If ya think that Piper should shut the hell up, gimmie a hell yeah.

(Crowd shouts "HELL YEAH")

Roddy Piper: Turning around with his back to Austin to face the camera You people mean nothing so I won't shut up. I'm Roddy Piper, dammit. This is my show. You mean nothing and now back to........

(Piper turns around into a kick to the gut and a Stone Cold Stunner to a loud pop)

Stone Cold Steve Austin: Now that he's gone, you see this past Monday Night on RAW, I was fired *a small "Bischoff sucks" chant starts* and I was left with no place to go WHAT? Then I contacted by Stephanie McMahon on Tuesday afternoon and she asked me if I'd be interested in a contract on SmackDown! WHAT? Of course, I took the contract WHAT Now, Vince before you try to fire me, it ain't gonna work WHAT? Stephanie McMahon signed me to a deal stating that I can never be fired WHAT? So, I am now an official Smackdown! talent FOR LIFE *crowd pops*

PART I- OR: 86

Torrie Wilson gained overness from this segment. Roddy Piper gained overness from this segment.

(Before Austin can say anything, "No Chance" hits as Vince McMahon begins walking down the aisle doing his power walk. Vince enters the ring and picks up Piper's mic.)

Vince McMahon: *Shouting* What do you think you're doing? I set this segment up in order to advertise Torrie's Playboy magazine but you've come out and took over. Look at the host of the show.

(The camera looks down as Piper is holding his neck on the canvas)

Vince McMahon: That wasn't the plan. The plan wasn't for you to come out and make this "Stone Cold Night." You may be a signed SmackDown! Superstar but I'm Vince McMahon Dammit! and don't you forget it. Who inspired Eric Bischoff to look for you? It was me. I was the one who gave Eric Bischoff the deadline to look for you and I deserve all of the credit for who you are today. Just like I made Hulkamania, I also made Austin-mania. IT WAS ALL ME. Everything that you see here was ME! Austin, I made YOU! You'd be nothing if I hadn't saved you from ECW. Austin, you're nothing but some redneck from Texas and..........

(Vince is interrupted by Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child" and the arena goes crazy. Hulk Hogan steps from behind the curtain wearing his Hulkamania t-shirt with feathered boas around his neck. Hogan plays air guitar as comes down. Hogan gets into the ring and runs around the ring cupping his ear. Hogan flexes as Austin and McMahon look on. Hogan gets Torrie's mic from her and stands next to Steve Austin. The crowd chants "Hogan")

Hulk Hogan: Let me tell ya something Vince, you didn't make anything. THESE FANS MADE EVERYTHING *Crowd Pops* Last night at WrestleMania, I held my head high for all of my Hulkamaniacs and showed them that you can defeat evil if you train, say your prayer, take your vitamins and most importantly believe in yourself. Hulkamania wasn't made by you, Vince, it was made by my Hulkamaniacs and I proved that last night *Crowd pops and starts chanting "Hogan" again

Vince McMahon: Now wait just a minute, what did you prove last night? I own the WWE, I made you *points to Hogan* and I sure as hell made you *points to Austin*

Steve Austin: Interrupting Vince Basically, you're out here takin' responsibilty for me and Hulk Hogan. We made you more money than any of the pieces of trash in the locker room. Now, I may not be the biggest Hulkamaniac in the world but we do agree on one thing, you are full of crap *crowd pops*

Vince McMahon: Now wait just a minute, *screams in an angry tone*I'M VINCE MCMAHON DAMMIT!

(Vince looks pissed)

Steve Austin: I don't give a damn, who you are. You are still full of crap. *Crowd pops*

(Vince starts angrily walking around the ring pointing at the fans)

Vince McMahon: Speaking loudly in a harsh tone SHUT UP! I'M VINCE MCMAHON DAMMIT, I COULD BUY AND SELL EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.

Steve Austin: If ya think that Vince McMahon is full of crap, gimmie a Hell Yeah.

(Crowd shouts "HELL YEAH")

Vince McMahon: I'M VINCE MCMAHON DAMMIT! YOU DON'T TREAT BILLIONAIRES LIKE THIS. I MADE THE WWE.

Steve Austin: Hell, you still don't believe us. Let's ask Torrie.

(Torrie Wilson re-enters the ring and walks over to Austin and Hogan.)

Steve Austin: Now, tell Vince. Who made Austin and Hogan?

(Austin hands Torrie the mic)

Torrie Wilson: *screaming forcefully* THE FANS!!!!! *crowd pops*

(Vince looks very angry. You can see the veins popping out of his head.)

Vince McMahon: You really think that Torrie? Let me tell you something. I'll show you tonight. Tonight's main event will be The Big Show and A-Train against Hulk Hogan and his partner..............Well, I can't legally put Steve Austin in a match due to his neck injury so..........Hulk Hogan's partner is TORRIE WILSON!

(Vince turns and laughs at the fans as they boo. We see Roddy Piper rolling on the carpet/ring. Austin grabs Piper by the neck and tosses him over the top rope and onto the floor. Both Hogan and Austin grab a stool and they toss them over the top rope. Vince turns around into a Stone Cold Stunner, the crowd pops for it. Austin signals to Hogan to do a legdrop. Hogan rips his shirt off to a pop and he runs into the ropes. Hogan catches Vince with a legdrop. Hogan stands up and Austin stares him down. Both men stand in front of each other. The fans are cheering loudly as both men stare each other down. Hogan offers the hand to Austin. Hogan and Austin shake hands Hogan asks Austin to stay and pose with them. They ask Torrie to join them. Austin, Hogan and Torrie start doing Hogan poses. We cut to Piper who slid a chair into the ring. Roddy Piper gets in behind them and picks up the chair. Piper points to head and Michael Cole says that Piper was playing possum. Hulk Hogan turns around and catches Piper before he swings. Hogan points his finger at Piper and Piper backs off. Piper tries to hide the chair behind his back. Hogan catches Piper with a kick to the gut and Piper drops the chair. Austin turns around and picks up the chair. He catches Piper with a chairshot to the upperback sending him down to the canvas. Hogan picks up Piper and sends him into the ropes BIG BOOT, Hogan runs into the ropes and catches Piper with a legdrop. Austin and Hogan cup their ears and Austin leaves the ring. When Austin gets to the top of the ramp, he points to Hogan and does a Hogan sidepose. He smirks at Hogan and Hogan gives him a thumbs up. Hogan and Torrie stay to pose to "Voodoo Child" as Piper and Vince are out on the canvas)

OR: 85

Torrie Wilson gained overness from this segment.

Interview with the Champion

(We return to Smackdown! to see Michael Cole standing in the ring with a microphone)

Michael Cole: Welcome back to Smackdown and last night, we crowned a new WWE Champion. Brock Lesnar defeated Kurt Angle, let me introduce to you, the NEW WWE CHAMPION, BROCK LESNAR.

[Firestorm]

Wasn't Jeff Hardy supposed to make an appearance?

Anyway, i loved the show can't wait for the Matt and rey storyline to develop, should be fun to watch can't wait for Raw, i loved FDM on the smackdown so this should be just as good with two great writers, the only problem i had was i thought you were going to emulate storylines which had already happened at that time but thankfully you haven't, i was thinking about making my own diary but this looks great so i will concentrate on reading this for now. I hope you don't keep Hogan there for long, i think you should use him to help push Jeff Hardy or a new signing.

Can't wait to carry on reading in the future

Announcers: The Coach & Lita

Dark Match

Travis Bane vs. The Damaja

Bane – who is totally covered with tattoos - took it to the Damaja big time as he immediately took the upper hand in the beginning of the match with a huge Powerslam. The Damaja showed better wrestling then Bane and he deserved to win but Bane was just too big and strong for the Damaja as Bane crushed the Damaja with a Sitout Powerbomb to pick up the win.

Winner: Travis Bane

(55/45/64)

Rodney Mack (w/Theodore Long) vs. Spike Dudley

Before the match Teddy Long talked about thuggin' and buggin' with Rodney and how everybody should Back the Mack. Long said it was time for the white boy challenge and who is more white then Spike....This was your typical squash match. Spike didn't get much offense in and Mack played with Spike until he decided to finally finish this boring match with the Blackout. After the match Theodore Long got on the mic again and he put Rodney over some more but the crowd wasn't really impressed by Rodney.

Winner: Rodney Mack

(64/54/74)

A video was shown of last week's RAW when Steve Austin admitted that he lost fair and square to The Rock. Austin then demanded a rematch against The Rock but Bischoff said Austin can't demand anything because he's FIRED!

(90)

Stevie Richards comes to the ring with Victoria and Stevie grabs a microphone.

Richards: I would like to welcome everybody to Stevie Night Heat! That's right baby, it's a show all about ME, the best wrestler to ever wrestle on Heat. And with me I got the best woman the business has to offer today. She might be a little crazy... (Victoria puts her hands in her hair while she has a crazy look on her face) But damn she is good. Victoria is the future of the Women's division here in the World Wrestling Entertainment, not Jazz, NOT Trish Stratus and not some other bimbo in the back. Oh speaking of bimbo's, Jacqueline is up next against Victoria and she will be just another victim to the HOTTEST and CRAZIEST girl in sports entertainment ever!

Stevie Richards points towards Victoria and Victoria smiles until Jacqueline runs to the ring. Jacqueline clotheslines Victoria and I think Jacqueline didn't like what Stevie said!

(65)

Jacqueline vs. Victoria w/Stevie Richards)

This match made me wonder why Jacqueline still has a job here. Jacqueline had the upper hand in the beginning. The only thing she did was DDT and Hurricanranna Victoria, she needs more moves. After almost 2 minutes of dominating Victoria surprised Jacqueline with a running forearm and Victoria took control. Jacqueline managed to come back into the match after 3 minutes but Stevie Richards interfered and he nailed Jacky with the Stevie Kick while the referee was distracted. Victoria finished Jacqueline off with the Widow's Peak followed by a cover and the win!

Winner: Victoria

(65/64/66)

Another video is shown of last week's RAW when The Rock sang 2 songs until Goldberg appeared on WWE TV for the first time. Goldberg told The Rock he was next and then he planted The Rock with the Jackhammer!

(80)

Maven vs. Stevie Richards

This is great, more Stevie Night Heat! The Tough Enough winner tried to win the match with his perfectly executed Dropkicks but that won't get you far. It seems the WWE is actually giving Richards some good TV time. Richards was clearly the more experienced wrestler in this contest as he managed to avoid most of Maven's attacks. Stevie hit Maven with the Stevie Kick followed by a cover and he put his legs on the second rope for leverage, the referee didn't see it so he got the victory! After the match Stevie brought out his new T-Shirt which had a Stevie Night Heat logo on it! Damn that's going to be sold big time on WWE Shopzone.com!

Winner: Stevie Richards

(69/66/74)

Hardcore Match

Tommy Dreamer vs. Al Snow

Two friends going at it! This was in my opinion the match of the night as both men managed to make each other bleed within 2 minutes! It looked like Snow was going to win the match after superplexing Dreamer onto a upright chair but Dreamer proved to be a hardcore specialist as he kicked out of a cover. After they tore the roof off Dreamer won the match with a Powerbomb through a table. After the match Tommy Dreamer helped Al Snow get back to his feet and they shook hands. The show went off the air with Tommy Dreamer dragging Al Snow to the back.

Winner: Tommy Dreamer

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Announcers: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler

No pyro and also no welcome from Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler because Ric Flair and Triple H are standing in the ring with microphones waiting. Triple H has the World Title around his shoulder.

Flair: Last week that trash, Booker T faced me on RAW one on one and he beat me....But Booker T needs to understand, just like everybody else in the back, that when Nature Boy is at his best, nobody can stop 'em! (Triple H looks at Flair and Flair seems scared) Well of course there is one man who can stop the Nature Boy, 'cause he can beat anyone, any place, any time....I'm talking about the Cerebral Assassin, the Game, your World Heavyweight Champion; Triple H! Tell 'em how great ya are champ!

Triple H adjusts his suit and then he points towards the World Title.

HHH: I don't have to tell these jackoffs from Milwaukee how great I am Ric, because when they look at me they know I am the best in the WWE. It's not only because of the World Heavyweight Title around my shoulder, but it's also the Rolex watch and the Armani suit and it's the confident look on my face. 'Cause when they look at me Ric, you know what they see? They see a man with no fear. I have beaten the best in the business today and lemme tell ya something, I was never scared of getting killed in a match. There is one big difference between me and guys like Booker T, Rob Van Dam and Shawn Michaels. That big difference is that I have a brain and they don't. I am intelligent and they aren't. I use my brain to win matches, they just do what pops into there empty little head of theirs. That makes me special from everyone else and that's why there nobody who is better then Triple H!

Suddenly Triple H is interrupted by Shawn Michaels. The crowd pops big for the Heartbreak Kid. HBK slides into the ring and he snatches a microphone out of Ric Flair's hands.

HBK: 'I've got news for ya kid. You say you are intelligent? You say win matches because you have a brain. Boy you win matches because you CHEAT! (Triple H and Ric Flair look at the crowd and they cheer for Michaels) You know what I would like to see? Triple H in a match with the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels and see if you can walk out victorious without having to cheat! Oh and while you are at it Nipple H, put the World Title on the line too because the Showstoppa wants the belt back again, haha!

Before Triple H can say anything Booker T makes his way out to the ring to a huge pop from the crowd. Booker T got a bigger pop then Shawn Michaels.

Booker T: You ain't going to get a World Title shot Shawn because if there is somebody in the WWE right now who deserves a shot it's the Bookerman. At WrestleMania I had him; I would be the World Heavyweight Champion right now if it wasn't for Ric Flair. Ya see Trips, without Flair being annoying at ringside you would be walking around in a freaking Armani suit without the golden bling bling now! But I think I now know how to defeat you and the next time we face the Bookerman will walk out of the arena victorious. Can you dig THAT, sucka?!

HHH: Wow guys, let me get this straight. NOBODY is getting a World Title shot tonight, mark my words. If you really want a shot you'll have to earn it because I am not going to give it to you. Shawn, you had your last run already so stop going for another last last run and Booker T I just beat your ass at WrestleMania, you don't deserve another shot! Face it guys, I am unbeatable...

"I'M BACK, and better then ever!". Eric Bischoff appears on stage with a mic.

Bischoff: Cut the crap! Triple H is right, nobody is getting a World Title shot tonight. And maybe Triple H is also right about being unbeatable but we will find that out when he faces the winner of Booker T versus Shawn Michaels versus Chris Jericho versus.....RIC FLAIR, at Backlash! (Ric Flair looks confused and Triple H goes ballistic) Those four men will fight against each other tonight and the winner will be the no.1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship! Good lucks fella's. Now get this show started!

WWE Women's Title Match!

Trish Stratus © vs. Molly Holly

The reigning Women's Champion gets some nice cheers as she makes her way out to the ring. Trish does a pose on all four turnbuckles with the Women's Title before Molly Holly's music theme starts playing. Molly didn't get a chance to become the champion at WrestleMania so she will try to win it tonight on RAW. Molly starts the match with some right hands to Trish followed by a clothesline to take Trish down. Molly goes for the early victory but Trish easily kicks out of a cover. Molly whips Trish into a corner and Molly does some acrobatic moves before going elbow first into Trish. Molly locks Trish into a Headlock and Molly seems to be in control of the match. At 5:20 Trish has taken Molly to the outside. Trish tries to whip Molly into the guardrail but Molly reverses and she sends Trish packing. Molly rolls Trish back into the ring and she hits Trish with a quick Elbow Drop from the top rope followed by a cover, 1...2...Trish puts her foot on the second rope. Molly hits Trish with a Neckbreaker and then she jumps onto the top rope. Molly waits for Trish to get back to her feet but she doesn't. Molly looks confused and after 30 seconds Molly gets off the top rope and she walks towards Trish but Trish takes her into a small package, 1....2...3! Smart move by Trish as she successfully defends her newly won title for the second time in two weeks. After the match Molly Holly vows revenge on Trish!

Winner: Trish Stratus ©

(77/85/59)

'Chief' Sean Morley and Lance Storm are backstage with the World Tag Team Titles around there waists. Rob Van Dam and Kane appear.

RVD: Dude, Kane and I have been talking a lot lately and we think we should get another World Tag Team Titles shot. We got screwed at WrestleMania 19, we deserve a normal rematch.

Sean Morley smiles.

Morley: I think it would be fair to give you the chance to get another tag titles shot because quite honestly we did screw you two at WrestleMania 19. (Lance Storm starts laughing but Morley stops him) Tell you what; tonight it's Rob Van Dam and Kane against Rico.....and the Island Boys, Rosey and Jamal! If you two win the match you will face us at Backlash with the World Tag Team Titles on the line. If you lose the Handicap match, you guys will NEVER get a shot at the Tag Titles again. Are you two up for the challenge?

Rob Van Dam looks at Kane and Kane nods.

RVD: I guess we are dude. You should already start warming up for Backlash dude because you two will need it, we are coming full force! It's time to get some gold again! Right Kane? (Kane is silent) He is a bit cranky today....Well anyways, I can't wait to get my hands on the World Tag Team Titles again!

(77)

Chris Nowinski vs. The Hurricane

It's a bird, it's a plane, no...it's the Hurricane! The superhero got a cheap pop from the crowd as he walked to the ring like only superheroes can. Nowinski got some decent heel heat when he came to the ring. The bell rings and Nowinski taunts the crowd. Suddenly Hurricane yells "WATZUPWITDAT?" and he hits Nowinski with a Flying Clotheline. Hurricane locks Nowinski into a Headlock but Nowinski easily manages to get to his feet. Nowinski hits Hurricane in the mid-section with his elbow. Nowinski nails Hurricane with a botched DDT and he covers Hurricane but Hurricane has his foot on the bottom rope. Nowinski jumps 2 times onto Hurricane's leg and then he locks the Hurricane into a Half Boston Crab. At 5:23 Nowinski has Hurricane under control again. Nowinski hits Hurricane with a few Knife Edge Chops followed up by a irish whip into a corner. Nowinski yells something to the crowd before going for a Clothesline but Hurricane avoids the pain and Nowinski runs into the turnbuckle. Hurricane rolls Nowinski up from behind but Nowinski kicks out at two. Hurricane hits Nowinski with a Legdrop and he goes for another one but Nowinski rolls away. Nowinski hits Hurricane with a European Uppercut before going for the Honour Roll but Hurricane kicks Nowinski away. Hurricane blocks a right hand attempt by Nowinski and he grabs him by the throat. The crowd begins to cheer but Nowinski kicks Hurricane in the gut and a hard Clothesline follows. Hurricane pulls himself back up with the ropes and Nowinski goes for a Body Slam but Hurricane gets out of the attempt and again he grabs Nowinski by his throat, HURRI-CHOKESLAM to the Harvard graduate! Hurricane pins Nowinski, 1....2..3!

Winner: The Hurricane

(63/52/75)

Triple H and Ric Flair are backstage watching television.

HHH: Did you see that Ric? That kid has potential. Last week he gave me a pretty tough time beating him and that is a hard thing to do. It is a damn shame he thinks he's some kind of superhero.

Eric Bischoff passes by and Triple H stops him.

HHH: What the hell were ya thinking out there Eric? The World Title should stay around the waist of the Game, it belongs to ME and you know that Eric! We agreed that we would do everything to keep the belt where it should be so why the hell did ya book this match?

Bischoff: You know Triple H I have been thinking about our relationship. You telling me what to do, I was your god damn slave! But not anymore, no, from now on nobody is going to boss me around. The reason I made this match is because Backlash needs a World Title match and I want a no.1 contender, NOW!

HHH: Hey Eric, nobody is bossing you around here. We are friends man, you do stuff for me and I do stuff for you. If you want me to kick, let's say, Spike Dudley's ass I would do it for you Bisch.

Bischoff: Tell me Triple H, what kind of "stuff" have you done for me lately?

Triple H thinks about it.

HHH: I have helped you out countless times Eric, you just forget things too fast. I have another question for ya Eric, why in the name of god is Ric Flair in the Fatal 4 Way match tonight? Ric didn't ask for a chance to become the World Champion again. He doesn't want to be the champ again, right Ric?

Flair: Uhm...I guess.

Bischoff: The reason I put Flair in there is because I want to show some respect to in my opinion the best World Champion ever. He might actually win and then it will be Ric Flair versus Triple H at Backlash and we all know that would be a classic right? (Flair and HHH look at each other) But now Triple H I suggest you get ready because your match with the man who came from Smackdown! is next!

Eric Bischoff walks away and Triple H is pissed off.

(90)

Triple H vs. Billy Gunn

Yup, Mr. Ass is back. Triple H had a very long entrance and that pissed the crowd off as they began an "asshole! asshole!" chant. Billy Gunn got a pretty big pop but that was because he has returned, that's the only reason. The bell rings and Triple H asks Billy how he's doing. Billy says he's good. HHH offers a handshake but Billy knocks him down with a stiff right hand to the delight of the crowd! Billy overwhelms HHH with right hands after hitting him with a Body Slam. Billy is on fire as he whips HHH around the ring. Eventually Billy kicks HHH in the mid-section and he signals for the Fameasser but Ric Flair grabs Billy's legs and he pulls him down. Flair pulls Billy out of the ring, the referee yells at Flair but Flair says he didn't do it on purpose....right. Billy gets back to his feet and he clotheslines Flair down. Billy slides back into the ring and HHH immediately hits Billy with a DDT. HHH smiles and he puts Billy into the Scorpion Deathlock! Billy goes crazy and HHH puts more pressure on the hold. Billy uses all his power to get to the ropes. At 5:45 HHH avoids a right hand by Billy and he

puts Billy in a Headlock. Billy manages to push HHH away and he goes for yet another Clothesline but HHH avoids again and he chokes Billy with the ropes. The referee counts 'till 5 and HHH stops choking Billy. HHH smashes Billy's head into a turnbuckle before kicking Billy in the gut for the Pedigree. The crowd boos heavily and HHH gets distracted by the fans long enough for Billy Gunn to back body drop HHH! Billy pumps the crowd up and then he kicks HHH, followed up by a Piledriver! I thought that wasn't allowed anymore? Billy does a arrogant cover on HHH, 1....2....thr, The Game kicks out just in time! Billy pulls HHH back to his feet with HHH's hair. Billy again calls for the Fameasser but HHH shoves Billy away. HHH kicks Billy and the Pedigree follows like always. HHH hooks Billy's leg, 1.....2.....3! Triple H has won the match but it was hard. Billy Gunn is back and on RAW, I wonder what he does next!

Winner: Triple H

(76/78/73)

The Rock is shown backstage and he is watching last week's RAW when Goldberg told him he was next. Christian shows up.

Christian: Wow Rocky, what are you doing man?

Rock: The Rock is watching RAW from last week. The Rock is watching himself getting attacked by the man they call Goldberg.

Christian: You shouldn't be watching this man. You should be standing in the middle of the ring now with a microphone and you should be challenging that bald headed....bastard, Goldberg, to come to the ring and face The Great One!

A smile appears on Rocky's face.

Rock: You're right Christiano...

Christian: It's Christian, not Christiano

Rock: Whatever. You are totally right. I am the Great One, the Brahma Bull! I'm not afraid of Goldberg but Goldberg is afraid of The Rock. I have won more championships in my career then Goldberg, I have headlined more WrestleMania's then him.

Christian: Well that isn't really hard because he used to be in WCW and they didn't have WrestleMania ther..

Rock: IT DOESN'T MATTER! Tonight we are going to the ring and The Rock is going to call out Gillberg, oh I mean Goldberg, and The Rock is going to show him who's the better man. I'm not next, no Goldberg is NEXT!

The Rock begins to laugh.

Christian: Rocky, what do you mean with 'we'? You and the people right?

Rock: (*laughs*) The people?! The same people who booed me out of the building at WrestleMania? The same people who called me a sellout? No no no no, The Rock is talking about The Great One and Captain Charisma, Christian.

Christian: Ah I like that nickname...Well I guess I could come to the ring with you. Goldberg is nothing, we can take 'em!

The screen fades.

(74)

Lance Storm and Sean Morley are shown backstage with the World Tag Team Titles. Rico, Jamal and Rosey appear.

Morley: Good, you guys are here. Tonight Rob Van Dam and Kane will fight against all three of you in a Handicap match. If they lose they will never get a Tag Titles shot again and Lance and I won't have to worry about those two idiots anymore.

Rico: What's the plan?

Morley: There is no plan. What I want you to do is give this match your all. Do what ever is takes to beat them.

Rico: What is in it for us?

Morley: Nothing. The boss will like you, we will like you.

Jamal: I ain't going ta do it for dat.

Morley: Fine. You'll get 200 dollars each if you beat them.

Jamal and Rosey look at each other.

Morley: Gentlemen, do we have a deal?

Jamal: We ain't no gentlemen, but yes we 'ave a deal. We are going to show Rob Van Dam and Kane what the Island Boys are all about baby. Ain't no team who can beat us!

Morley: That's good to hear. Now go to the ring because your match is next!

(84)

RVD and Kane vs. Rico and Island Boys

The red pyro goes off and Kane emerges from the back to a big pop. Next up is Rob Van Dam and he gets an even bigger pop from the fans! Rob does the " R V D" sign before Rico makes his way out to the ring with Rosey and Jamal behind him while some kind of rap song is playing. The bell rings and Rosey begins against Rob Van Dam. Rosey tells RVD to bring it on and RVD goes for a spin kick but Rosey grabs RVD's leg and he slams him down. Rosey throws RVD into a corner and after that he splashes into RVD! Rosey tags Rico, who hops over the top rope into the ring. Rico hits RVD with his awesome kicks before going onto the top rope. Rico tags Jamal before hitting RVD with a Bulldog from the top! Rosey drops an elbow onto RVD's back before covering RVD, 1...2..Robbie V manages to kick out. Rosey nails RVD with a Headbutt and he then he squashes RVD with a Twisting Leg Drop. Rosey looks at RVD and then he decides to throw RVD to Kane. Rosey tags Jamal and Kane tags himself into the match by tapping RVD's shoulder. Big mistake by Rosey to let Rob tag Kane because Kane immediately takes control with a big boot to Jamal. Kane goes onto the top rope and he surprises Jamal with a Flying Clothesline! Kane chokes Jamal a bit before pinning Jamal, 1...2..Rico breaks the cover! Kane points towards Rico and the crowd heavily cheer. Kane grabs Rico by the throat but Jamal low blows Kane from behind. Jamal hits Kane with a almost fucked up Neckbreaker. At 7:00 RVD is kicking the crap out of Rosey in the corner. RVD kicks Rosey down with a Enziguri. RVD jumps onto the top rope and he crowd knows the Frog Splash is coming so they begin to cheer, but Rico shakes the ropes and RVD falls off! Kane enters the ring and Rico & Jamal do the same. Kane and Jamal go face to face. Suddenly Jamal goes a right hand but Kane blocks it and Kane crushes Jamal with a quick Chokeslam. Kane also hits Rico with a Chokeslam and then he sends Rosey to hell with a HUGE Chokeslam! Kane goes back to his place and RVD hits Rosey with the Five-Star Frog Splash! RVD clutches his chest before putting one arm on Rosey, 1....2...3! Rob Van Dam and Kane are going to Backlash to face Lance Storm and Sean Morley for the World Tag Team Titles!

Winners: RVD and Kane

(76/74/79)

After a commercial break The Rock's music theme starts playing and the Great One comes to the ring with Captain Charisma; Christian! Rocky receives a microphone from the referee.

Rock: Unfortunately The Rock has come back to Milwaukee, Wisconsin! (the crowd boo heavily) Ah shut up, the Rock doesn't care about the people anymore. The Rock does care about kicking some ass....and right now The Rock wants kick GOLDBERG's ass. That's right, unlike everybody else Goldberg faced I am not scared of him. I admit he looks scary with his freaky bald head but I have seen worse. Goldberg interrupted The Rock's concert last week so he needs to pay. Goldberg, walk down the aisle, or hop, I don't know what you do, and enter the ring and face me like a man. Face to face, eye to eye with the GREAT one! Yeah I know that sounds scary but...

Goldberg's music theme starts playing and the crowd begins a HUGE "Gooooldberg! Goooldberg!" chant. The Rock and Christian look around and they seem to be afraid. Fireworks go off and Goldberg runs to the ring. Goldberg stops in front of the ring and he yells to The Rock that he's next. The Rock does the Just Bring It sign and Goldberg slides into the ring. Goldberg goes for a Spear but The Rock quickly gets out of the ring and Goldberg spears Christian instead of The Rock! Sad Christian. The Rock still has a microphone and he walks up the aisle.

Rock: No no no, you think The Rock is that dumb Goldie? You won't get my hands on me now; you will have to wait until Backlash. And at Backlash you won't start another undefeated streak but a DEFEATED streak! Know what I'm saying? No, well IT DOESN'T MATTER! Goldie, I'll see YOU at Backlash!

The Rock does the People's Eyebrow before he leaves.

(96)

World Title No.1 Contender Match!

Ric Flair vs. Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Booker T

Whoooo! The Nature Boy gets a mixed reaction from the crowd as he makes his way out to the ring. This time Michaels and Booker T got the same pop which is a compliment for Booker T. Chris Jericho is the last man to come to the ring tonight. Jericho gets tremendous Heel heat, more then Triple H got tonight. The bell rings and Jericho points towards HBK and he does the cut-throat sign. Suddenly Flair begins to knife edge chop everybody! Flair chops Booker T down and he chops HBK into a corner. Flair kicks HBK a couple of times before hitting HBK with a normal Suplex. Flair covers HBK but Booker T immediately breaks the cover and he goes to work on Flair's head. Jericho yells "stand up assclown!" to HBK and he slaps HBK around until HBK low blows Jericho! HBK jumps back to his feet and he starts to pump up the crowd for some Sweet Chin Music. Jericho notices that HBK waiting for him and he quickly rolls out of the ring. Jericho thinks he has avoided HBK but HBK hits Jericho with a Baseball Slide! Meanwhile Booker T has Flair locked in a Sleeperhold. Flair begins to fade away but when the referee asks Flair if he wants to give up Flair suddenly gets his strength back and he grabs a rope. Booker T hits Flair with a couple of right hands after hitting him with a big Scoop Slam. Shawn Michaels has control over Jericho at ringside. HBK smashes Jericho's head into the turnbuckle before rolling Jericho back into the ring. HBK goes onto the top rope and Jim Ross goes nuts yelling "CAN HE DO IT?!". HBK crushes Jericho with the Heartbreak Elbow Drop and he connects with a cover, 1....2....Jericho kicks out! HBK grabs Jericho's legs and he catapults him into another turnbuckle! At 18:11 Jericho dropkicks Booker T and Shawn Michaels down. Ric Flair and Chris Jericho have been working together for 5 minutes now. Suddenly Flair takes Jericho down with a Neckbreaker! Flair grabs Jericho's leg and he locks him into the Figure Four Leglock! Triple H comes to the ring and he cheers on Ric Flair.

Booker T breaks the hold and he tosses Flair out of the ring. HBK goes for the Sweet Chin Music on Booker T but Booker T ducks it and he plants HBK with a STO. Jericho tries to get out of the ring but Booker T hits him with the SICCORS KICK! The crowd goes wild and Booker T pins Jericho, 1.....2....3! Booker T is going to Backlash! Booker T gets another chance to become the World Heavyweight Champion! After the match Booker T celebrates on the turnbuckles, Jericho slowly gets back to his feet and he goes face to face with Shawn Michaels, and Ric Flair is resting at ringside.

Chicago, Illinois

Commentators: Michael Cole and Tazz

The Smackdown feed just starts out with the WWE logo playing and "The Beautiful People" by Marliyn Manson. The pyro display went off and Michael Cole starts screaming)

Michael Cole: Welcome to Smackdown! live from Chicago, Illinois. What a night we have planned as WWE Champion Brock Lesnar teams with Los Guerreros to take on John Cena and the WWE Tag Team Champions Team Angle. What a night we have planned.

(The camera goes to the announce table)

Tazz: It's gonna be a rocketbusta Cole. John Cena promised revenge on Brock Lesnar but I'm not so sure if the champ will go down so easily to John Cena.

Michael Cole: Well let's send it to the ring and Tony Chimel as we prepare for Piper's Pit.

Piper's Pit with Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon and Sylvain Grenier

(We cut to the ring and the same set as last week)

Tony Chimel: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for Piper's Pit *crowd boos* and now without further adieu, our host, HERE'SSSSSSSSS RODDY!

(Rowdy Roddy Piper's theme hits and he is met with a negative reaction. Piper walks down the aisle with a smug look on his face. Piper enters the ring and looks at his set. He snatches Chimel's mic.)

Rowdy Roddy Piper: Man, this set is plain. I thought I told you guys to get rid of these tacky leather stools and get me a damn desk. Are the SmackDown! guys that stupid? Anyway, Tony, if you will can you look under that ring and hand me a table?

(Tony Chimel looks under the ring and pulls out a table. Chimel slides the table in. Piper then grabs each stool and tosses them out of the ring.)

Rowdy Roddy Piper: Now hand me two steel chairs.

(Tony Chimel reaches under the ring and pulls out two steel chairs and slides both into the ring. Piper doesn't touch them just yet.)

Rowdy Roddy Piper: Now, just hand me that duffel bag under the ring.

(Tony Chimel reaches under the ring and grabs a duffle bag. He slides it in.)

Rowdy Roddy Piper: Now it's time to set up.

(Roddy grabs the table and sits it up vertically in the center of the ring so he could be as close to his guest as possible. Piper sits up a chair on both sides of the table. Piper opens the duffle bag and pulls out out a plaid tablecloth. Piper drapes the table with it.)

Rowdy Roddy Piper: There we go, I should have a real desk and chairs next week but this will do for now. Anyway, onto my guests for this evening. First, he is the greatest wrestling promoter to ever grace this business, the second man is his son, he is one of the craziest men in the business and the son of the greatest promoter of all time and finally, this man is one of the most promising young referees in this business. He certainly has the right connections. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon and Sylvain Grenier.

("No Chance" starts and Grenier walks out first wearing a black button down shirt and blue jeans. Grenier has on sunglasses. Shane McMahon walks out in a black button down shirt and black jeans wearing sunglasses as well. Grenier steps to the right side of the entrance and Shane steps to the left of the entrance. Vince McMahon steps from behind the curtain wearing a suit. Shane McMahon starts walking behind his father while Grenier carries the end of the line. Grenier climbs the stairs and holds the ropes open for Shane and Vince McMahon. Piper and Vince shake hands as Piper takes a seat on one side and Vince takes a seat on the side with his back to the entrance. Grenier gets a microphone and hands it to Vince.)

Rowdy Roddy Piper: Welcome Vince.

Vince McMahon: Thank you Roddy.

Rowdy Roddy Piper: Of course, we are here with a former Royal Rumble winner and a former WWE Champion. Mr. McMahon has certainly done it all. Interesting thing is that you eliminated Stone Cold Steve Austin to win the Royal Rumble and of course, you went from #2.

Vince McMahon: Well Roddy, that was no easy feat. I strongly recommend that anyone who plans to go all the way in the Royal Rumble do cardio and try to build up their stamina. Winning the Royal Rumble was not an easy feat. But you know, I am a McMahon so I can do anything.

Roddy Piper: Now, I understand that you didn't go to WrestleMania. Since I was in that hole in the wall called WCW, which actually reminds me of Chicago *crowd boos*. Anyway, I was in WCW so I don't know what really happened with that.

Vince McMahon: Well you see, Shawn Michaels thought that it'd be a good idea to change the stipulation of the match and claimed that I signed away my shot against The Rock at Wrestlemania 15 but in reality, I hadn't. Michaels set up a cage match between me and Stone Cold Steve Austin at St. Valentine's Day Masscare. Of course, I lost.

Rowdy Roddy Piper: Well, let's take a look at Vince's Royal Rumble victory.

(This video is shown with the blurrings in place)

The clip immediately starts with Vince scooping Steve Austin out of the ring omitting the part where Rock distracted Austin

[The Quasi Juice]

For the people who were actually reading this diary, it's over. Cool Xtreme Dude went to the No Spin Zone and he bitched about not getting feedback. I feel like he actually screwed me because suddenly he was thinking about getting back to his old diary and then he thought about starting a NEW diary. The people in the No Spin Zone were right, CXD should have just continued this diary but he can't take it when somebody doesn't treat him like some sort of diary god. Now he is off to .400 Forums to do a diary there and he left me and the diary. I wish I could post in the No Spin Zone again because I just want to say that they were all right in there. He posted 2 freakin' Smackdown!'s and he expects to get loads of feedback. I thought he was a nice guy and I thought I would be the weak link in this diary. I thought I would be the one who wouldn't get the shows up at the right time, I thought I would be the done who would whine about feedback, but I was wrong, I have grown out of that. HE was the weak link in this diary. So without further adieu I'd like to say:

Cool Xtreme Dude has the biggest ego ever and maybe it's for the best he's gone.

[ChrisPMWBenoit]

Bummer. I was enjoying this! But you can't expect loads of feedback after 2 shows!

[Monkey D. Lars]

FDM maybe I can take over smackdown? what do you say?
