Recommended Posts

A little background, this diary was written from December 2002-May 2003. It covered the WWE from January 2003 up until King of the Ring 2003(yes I know there wasn't a real King of the Ring 2003, but I did not know that at the time of writing). The first couple of months, for lack of a better term, either sucks or is very dissapointing. However this repost would be confusing without it. So let's do this thing again. I will be continueing this after KOTR 2003 because I recently found my floppy disk with the saved game on it.

Smackdown 1-2-03 :

Qualities of Mattitude

Shannon Moore is sitting in the back when Matt Hardy(Version 1.0) comes in.

Matt Hardy V1:Shannon, since I have a match with Brock Lesnar tonight, I did you a big favor. I got you a match tonight as well. It is up next.

Shannon Moore:Who is it against?

Matt Hardy V1:It is against....Chris Benoit. No need to thank me. Only do what is best for my junior M'Fer. You could catapault yourself to stardom with a victory of Benoit like I did with my two victories over the Undertaker. The first step of achieving Mattitude is a victory over an established main event star.

Shannon Moore looks a little flustered that he has to take on Chris Benoit on such short notice.

Notes:Matt Hardy Version 1.0 lost overness from this segment.

Shannon Moore vs Chris Benoit

Its True, Its damn True

Kurt Angle is backstage sitting in a chair. the WWE World Title belt is laying on his lap.

Angle:Last week was a night of great sucess. Why. Because of the formation of Team Angle. They showed that little Canadian punk Chris Benoit what being a true hero is all about. And at the Rumble, Crippler, I will make you tap. Oh its true, its damn true. I will never lose this title. I will hold it to I retire. As for Brock Lesnar, YOU WILL NEVER GET A TITLE SHOT. Even if you do, I will make you tap. Oh its true, its damn true.

81

Rikishi vs Bull Buchanan

Highlights:Long story short. Buchanan attacks at the bell. Rikishi comes back, Bull attacks some more. Bull misses a flying legdrop. Rikishi hits a superkick for the pin. Rikishi dances. End of match. *

53(61,57)

Non-Title Match:Kaientai 2003 vs Los Guerreros

Eddy tags to Chavo and Funaki rolls him up for a surprise pin. Kaientai 2003 have upset Los Guerreros. Too bad it was a non-title match.

The Rock is not the People's Champion, Matt is.

Brock Lesnar vs Matt Hardy Version 1

Notes:Brock tossed Matt around like a rag doll for the portion of the match. Paul Heyman made his way out and razzed Brock. This threw Brock off of his game long enough for Matt Hardy to throw powder in the eyes of Brock. Matt Hardy rolls up Brock pulling the tights. Matt Hardy scored the win. He is the second person ever to beat Brock. Brock pulls Heyman into the ring and The Big Show enters the ring. The Big Show attacks Brock, laying him out with a Choke Slam.

Brock is not a happy man

Brock Lesnar:Last Thursday I had a match with Matt Hardy, and Paul Heyman decides to come out and distract me, causing me to lose the match. I was going to attack Paul Heyman but the one thing that stopped me was that seven foot waste of air, The Big Show. We have crossed paths before, Show, but this time it is personal. You denied a chance to get revenge and now you will pay. I don't care if I have to run through your fat ass to get to Heyman and Kurt Angle. You will be destroyed if you stand in my way.

Matches aren't nearly detailed enough, and the promos ain't much better. Also, when somebody speaks, your laying it out like this:

Nowinski:I'm more clever than you.

A one day reign as WWE World Champion, a few tag team reigns, and some controversy that Triple H stirred up that I am not even getting into. So Kane is no more. I will do something that Kevin Nash did, be myself. I will win the Royal Rumble and then capture the World Title at Wrestlemania.

I look at this Pay Per View and I regret not writing the Rumble out. In 2004, I will indeed write up the rumble and I hope it won't suck. Anyway only the final four was written out. This Pay Per View will indeed look rather weak when compared to other Pay Per Views that will happen later. Anyway let's not dwell on this right now. Let's get on with the show.

WWE Royal Rumble 2003

We see both sets of commentators at their tables. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler will commentate for Raw Matches and Michael Cole and Tazz for Smackdown. A coin toss will be held for each commentary team and then a commentator from each team will commentate the Rumble Match.

We go first to Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler.

Ross: What a night for tonight at the Rumble. Lets kick things off with a bang. A triple Threat match for the WWE Woman’s Title will be the first match of 6 tonight at the Royal Rumble.

Lawler: Puppies!!!

Ross: Lets get down to the ring for the first match. This should be a slobberknocker.

WWE Woman’s Title Triple Threat Match:

What a match! The crowd gives both teams a standing ovation and boy do they deserve it. Lets go over to the Raw team.

Jim Ross: All right King; coming up next, Booker T and Goldust defend the World Tag Team Titles against Lance Storm and William Regal. Regal and Storm could finally upset the champions to win the gold.

Lawler: It could be the night for Regal and Storm but I think Bookdust will come out on top.

Notes: The World Tag Team Titles have gained in image.

We go to the ring where there is a table set up in the ring.

“I’m back” plays and out comes Eric Bischoff with a contract. It is time to see which side Rhyno chooses, Raw or Smackdown. Bischoff sits on a chair at the table. There are three chairs.

“All grown up” plays and out comes Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie has a contract for Rhyno to sign as well. Which side will he choose, we will find out in a few minutes.

“Man Beast” plays and out comes Rhyno. Rhyno stalks to the ring and he enters the ring. Bischoff gets up to shake the hand of Rhyno but Rhyno blows him off. Stephanie laughs at Bischoff and Bischoff just gives her an angry glare. Bischoff has a microphone.

Bischoff: Mr. Rhyno, sir, how are you? Hope you are fine. You ARE the top free agent in the company and Raw would be to your benefit. Look at this contract and see for yourself.

Rhyno takes a look at the contract and reads it. Rhyno looks satisfied about something.

Bischoff: I see you are pleased. So just sign your name, here.

Stephanie: Hold on, Bischoff. Rhyno hasn’t seen the Smackdown contract yet.

Bischoff: Rhyno, a word of advice. Don’t sign with Smackdown or you might be her coffee boy within two weeks. You did see what happened to poor Chris Jericho last year, I assume.

Stephanie shoots Bischoff an angry glare but quickly regains her composure..

Stephanie: Just read the contract, Rhyno and I am sure Smackdown will be your new home.

Rhyno reads through the contract. He looks pleased at this one as well. Rhyno lays both contracts side by side and appears to be considering. RHYNO SIGNS THE SMACKDOWN ONE. Stephanie looks pleased and Bischoff looks pissed.

Bischoff: You pulled one over on me, Steph, but I will get back at you. Some way, somehow you little conniving bitch.

Bischoff leaves the ring and Stephanie gets up to shake the hand of Rhyno. She does and we see turns around, Rhyno slides the table out of the way and he is poised. RHYNO GORES STEPHANIE AS SHE TURNS AROUND. Stephanie falls to the mat and the crowd reaction for Rhyno is rather mixed. Rhyno leaves. Rhyno has signed with Smackdown and gored the boss. Not a good start but Rhyno is tough enough to make it on his own.

93

Tazz: I can’t believe what we just saw, Cole. Rhyno Gored our boss, Stephanie McMahon. He is on her bad list right out to start with.

Cole: Rhyno however is a great addition to the Smackdown roster and I know I am looking forward to calling his matches.

Tazz: What a match we have next, Cole! It will be an I-Quit Match between Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle. Who is the better submission wrestler? We will find out tonight, Cole.

Three qualifying matches will take place. Tonight:Batista will face RVD for a chance in the match. The other two qualification matches will be Glen Jacobs vs Kevin Nash and Booker T vs Goldust.

Battle of the Titans

Brock Lesnar comes out to the ring to some cheers. He will face the WWE World Champion at Wrestlemania whether it be Kurt Angle or the Rock.

Brock: At the Rumble I conquered and won. I will take back what is mine, the WWE World Title and....

Out comes Rhyno. What the hell is this? Rhyno enters the ring and Brock and Rhyno stare each other down.

Rhyno: BROCK!!! You won the rumble for one reason and one reason only. I WASN'T IN IT. I would be the number one contender if I had been in there. You wouldn't even be in the WWE if I hadn't got injured. I can do the same stuff you can do but do it ten times better. You are a cheap Rhyno imitation Brock. I want you to HAND ME OVER the Wrestlemania title shot and about 95 % of your paycheck for the rest of your career because YOU OWE ME. Without Rhyno there will be no Brock Lesnar and that is a motherf****** fact.

Brock: First of all who in the hell do you think you are to demand anything. Sure you were the last ECW champion and you were on the verge of superstardom but you got injured and have to start from square one. I earned this title shot and you are getting it OVER MY DEAD BODY.

Rhyno: That can be arranged, bitch.

Rhyno goes for the Gore but Brock side steps it. Brock clotheslines Rhyno and is punching away at him but Rhyno gets up and absorbs it. Rhyno now clotheslines Brock and does the same. Brock pops up and a bunch of referees and sercurity come out. They seperate the two and out comes Stephanie McMahon.

Stephanie: Since you two are so eager to fight each other you can do it at No Way Out. The Wrestlemania Title shot will be on the line at that event. You are not to touch each other or the match is off. However Brock, if you touch Rhyno you forfeit the Wrestlemania title shot to Rhyno. Rhyno if you touch Brock first, you are stripped of your chance for the Wrestlemania title shot.

Another great match signed for No way Out.

75

Notes: Brock Lesnar lost overness from this segment. Rhyno lost overness from this segment.

Matt Hardy Version 1.0 and The Big Show vs Rikishi and The Rock

77(78, 76)

Kurt Angle talks about the Rock.

Kurt Angle has the WWE World Title belt over his shoulder.

Kurt: It is funny that even after sucessfully defending the title last Sunday, people give me no respect. You people should really show some respect to your Olympic hero I beat Chris Benoit to prove who the top submission wrestler is and now at No Way Out I have to defend against the Rock. I will go one on one with the Great One and come out on top like I should. Two years ago at No Way Out 2001 I was heading into Wrestlemania but the Rock cheated me out of the gold. I will right the wrong of that night, at No Way out by making the Rock tap. Its true, its damn true.

92

WWE Tag Team Titles: Billy Kidman and Edge vs Los Guerreros©
