Post Wrestlemania 21 WWE

[Guest livengood]

This is my first attempt at a diary, therefor it won't contain color or special fonts just yet. I want to get it started out and improve as time goes on.

BACKSTORY:

In April of 2005 following WM21 and the Edge/Lita/Matt Hardy incident, WWE officials felt it was time to go down a new road. Vince McMahon and the WWE Board of Directors felt it was time to suspended the creative writing staff and introduce one person who they felt could do a better job on a large scale. So, the WWE hired on Travis Livengood a relative unknown individual who submitted storyline requests on a weekly basis which caught WWE's eye. Although they ignored his storylines they felt he had a gift for creative writing.

Now signed to a fresh WWE contract, Travis hopes to introduce a fresh and wide aray of talent to the WWE roster and expand on the newer talent. The old talent are quite good where they are in his opinion, and now we shall see where Travis hopes to take the WWE and its superstars.

In May of 2005, not long after Travis' signature was dry on his contract, TNA announced their plans to go global. This now made Travis' job harder as he now had to compete with TNA Wrestling which had superior talent but a horrible booking system. And now, let's see just how WWE can cope with the recent disaster they put themselves in and let's also see if they can pull themselves out of their slump and engage TNA in a war for dominance of the wrestling industry.

Roster: No need to post this. It's the current WWE roster in real life.

Batista - Defeated Triple H to capture the title at WM21.

WWE: RAW

JR: Welcome everyone to Monday Night RAW! I'm Jim Ross alongside my partner Jerry "The King" Lawler and what a fantastic show we have for you tonight, right King?

King: That's right JR. Tonight we bring you a fabulous RAW live from Madison Square Garden where we will hear from the new World's Heavyweight Champion and the former World Champion Triple H.

JR: We also have some good matches lined up for tonights show, and it's about time to start our first match.

Rhyno vs Simon Dean

The match starts off with a lockup before Rhyno sends Dean into the ropes and hits him with a standing sholder block. Rhyno lifts up Simon Dean and delivers a body slam to the Matt before launching himself into the ropes and hitting an elbow to the torso of Simon Dean. Rhyno goes for the elbow a second time but Dean rolls out of the way and locks on a STF on Rhyno. The hold is held for a long period of time before Rhyno makes it to the ropes. Dean charges at Rhyno but is met with a kick to the stomach and is sent into the ropes. He comes back and is hit with a nasty spinebuster. Rhyno goes to the corner where he lies in wait, as Simon gets up. Rhyno goes for the gore....but he hits the ring post! Simon Dean rolls up Rhyno with his feet on the ropes. 1...2....3!!.

Winner: Simon Dean by Cheating

Backstage Segment: William Regal and Tajiri discussing their match.

Regal: Master Tajiri, today we have an important match against La Resistance. We both know very well they are gunning for our titles, and tonight we will retain our titles.

Tajiri: (Speaks some japenese gobble de gook and nods excitedly)

Regal: Ummm right. Let's go Tajiri, we have got a match to win.

----commercial break----

World Tag Team Titles Match: La Resistance vs William Regal and Tajiri

A good long match with back and fourth action between Tajiri and Grenier during the last part of the match. Tajiri and Grenier lock up and Tajiri sends him into the ropes before hitting a rolling kick. Tajiri picks him up but suddenly from behind a masked man hits Tajiri in the back with a kendo stick knocking him down. The referee calls for the bell as the masked man, and La Resistance continue to pound on Tajiri. When they are finished, La Resistance look for the man who is walking away from the ring.

Winners: William Regal and Tajiri by DQ through outside interference

89%

JR: Who was that guy who attacked Tajiri and Regal? God what an awful display.

King: What are you talking about JR? This guy is awesome. He made an impact tonight. But my only question is, who is he?

It's Time to play the Game!! Muahaha!

Triple H's music plays and he comes to the ring with Ric Flair angry about his defeat at Wrestle Mania 21 to Batista. He enters the ring and grabs the microphone without any sort of acknowledgement of the crowd.

Triple H: At Wrestle Mania, Dave Batista got lucky. He got lucky because he was able to defeat me! Defeating me is no easy task, and Dave, you better relish this moment because it will never happen again. Dave your win last night was nothing, it was a joke. It only happened because I had a weakness. This weakness is also a flaw within my inner circle Dave. And I will tell you this weakness because right now, I'm going to remove that weakness.

Suddenly Triple turns and kicks Flair in the stomach and delivers a Pedigree with impact onto the ring canvas and picked the microphone back up.

Triple H: You see Dave, Ric wasn't in my corner, he's getting too old to keep up with me. He's a parasite like you and Randy have become. Evolution has become a virus and I must eradicate that virus starting tonight. So tonight, if Ric Flair has the guts, It will be me, versus Ric Flair.

Triple H dropped the microphone and left Ric Flair down in the ring as he headed towards the back, his entrance music blaring.

Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho in a Submission Match. The winner advances next week to face Triple H for the Number 1 Contenders Spot.

The match was fast and pay-per-view quality. Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho are both down and sweaty after taking fierce punishment back and fourth through this match. The referee is at the 8 count and both wrestlers are now back to their feet. Suddenly Jericho slams down Benoit and goes for the Walls of Jericho, but Benoit manages to roll out of the move. Jericho charges straight into a Crippler Crossface. Jericho grabs the ropes but Benoit pulls him back and relocks the crossface. Jericho tries hard not to tap, but eventually he's forced to do so. Chris Benoit wins.

Winner by Submission and the Number 2 Contender: Chris Benoit

Backstage Interview: Batista (ooc: no colors are used in interview segments)

The Coach:

Batista we just heard from the greatest athlete in the WORLD, Triple H. He clearly sent a message to you tonight when he pedigreed Ric Flair in the ring, showing he is as ruthless as they come. What are your thoughts Champ?

Batista:

Well Coach, you little worm of a man, Triple H is the cerebal assassin. That's his game. He tries to play with your mind, and tonight he turned against his only ally in an attempt to play with me. You see Coach, It backfired. Triple H not only failed to get inside my mind, but he also---

Suddenly Triple H rushes Batista from behind and delivers massive amount of punches. He gets up and stomps upon Batista and when he's finished with the beating he yells.

Triple H: THAT TITLE IS MINE YOU SON OF A *beep*!!! I WILL GET WHATS MINE. WATCH MY MATCH CLOSELY DAVE, BECAUSE TONIGHT, THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE COMING!

Triple H hits one more kick to Batista's ribs before walking away.

Shelton Benjamin vs Daivari w/ Hassan in a non-title contest

Shelton is down and Daivari goes for the Magic Carpet Ride...he misses. Benjamin gets up and goes for a T-Bone but Hassan has slid into the ring. He runs to Shelton. Shelton nails Hassan with a super kick. Shelton grabs Daivari and finally nails his T-Bone Suplex. He goes for the cover...1...2....3!!!

Winner: Shelton Benjamin

---commerical break----

Triple H vs Ric Flair

The match was pretty dull with many submission manuvers, with Ric intending to get revenge on his former friend. As Triple H gets Ric into his main event sleeper, Batista's music hits the arena, and the World Champion sprints to the ring. Triple H and Batista exchange punches as the referee calls for the bell. Ric Flair runs behind Triple H as he goes for the pedigree on Batista, and clips his knee. Triple H goes down. Batista lifts up Triple H and hits the Batista Buster. He raises Batista up once more planting his head in between his legs. He raises him up...and...BAM! Batista Bomb! Batista has taken down the game with authority!

JR: King did you see that?! Triple H has just been destroyed with a vicious Batista bomb!!

King: No!!! This can't be happening J.R.

End of Show.

[million$$man]

Nice diary for your first try. My only problem is with the Chris Jericho vs Chris Benoit submission match. Booking these two in a submission match is awesome, but for a match of that cailber you should at least have one of the competitors interviewed before the match, especially with the winner fighting HHH next week for a title shot. Also, it may be a good idea to put the match ratings and such after the match. Other that that, good job. Edited April 29, 2005 by million$$man

[crazybrain]

is this the RAW after wrestlemania? becuase if so shouldn't Guerrero and Mysterio still be tag champs and not MNM? Not a bad show though

[Guest simon522109]

Good effort for your first diary attempt. RAW was a good , solid show, I ike that you split HHH & Flair up ( I mean a 16 time world champion, as a sidekick wtf?). I don't like that you release Val Venis, but hey it's your diary. Another thing what puzzled me was why was Shelton Benjamin facing Diavrai (a manager) and not his client Muhammed Hassan, which would have made more sense , unless your building up a Hassan/Benjamin feud. Overall a pretty solid start.

[Guest livengood]

Thanks you guys for your feedback. Now all you have to do is wait for Smackdown.

The Cabinet however will be here, and they will be in action.

Interview with JBL

JM: JBL tonight you have a match with Kurt Angle to determine the number one contendership for the WWE Championship at Backlash. Your thoughts?

JBL: You want my thoughts Josh? I think your worthless trash now shut up. As for Kurt Angle, tonight I will defeat him to become the Number One Contender and move on to defeat John Cena for MY title at Backlash. You want to know why Josh? Because I'm a wrestling Go---

Angle: Oh shut up Bradshaw. Week after week, we have to hear about you being a wrestling god. But Bradshaw, your not. What you are is an ex football player has been who got lucky in the stock market. That's it. Your nothing Bradshaw, and I'll prove it tonight, when I make you TAP!!!

JBL: Danny Basham is no longer a member of my Cabinet. What Danny Basham did was he thought of himself. He did not think of the common benifet of the Cabinet.

The ref signaled for the bell, calling for a disqualification as Rey and Chavo beat down on Paul London. Rey picks up a microphone.

Rey: Paul, did you see what I did to Eddie last week? Well next week here on Smackdown, you have the same thing coming. I came from Theodore Long's office and I get a shot to face you for the title. Your nothing Paul and next week when I take your title, I'll prove it once an---

Hassan: Hold the phone Jericho. I'm sick of hearing your mouth week after week, listening to the garbage you like to spew from your maggot filled racist Canadian mouth. Daivari and I are here to shut you up.

And Edge, if you accept, I will defeat you because that's how I ROLL!

Monty Brown vs Shelton Benjamin

This was a non-title contest as Shelton laid into Monty right away, with a vicious attitude towards his now un-masked attacker from last week. Shelton nailed him with the T-Bone but he KICKS OUT! After an "accidental" ref bump, Monty nails Shelton with a low blow followed by the POUNNNCE! The ref came around, counted the three, and Monty Brown defeats Shelton Benjamin.

Winner: Monty Brown by Cheating

A very long match with high paced action from both sides. Batista is shown watching the match from the back, as Triple H sets up Jericho for the Pedigree but Jericho reverses and the Ref goes down. The fighting continues until Hassan hits the ring and nails Jericho with the Modified STO and leaves. Triple H hits the Pedigree and the referee counts the three!

Winner and STILL Number one contender: Triple H

Backstage Interruption

Edge is shown attacking Christian viciously with his brief case, as Tomko is laid out a few feet away. Edge lifts up Christian, backs up and hits a vicious spear into the crates.

EDGE: You want my contract?! You want it?! You can't have it! It's mine! And you will never have it you son of a bitch!

Edge stomps Christian a few more times before walking off with his briefcase.
