Okay, I firsty want to appoligize for my old Diary which got lost and fubar'ed so hopefully this one will be better. I will say this straight out, that fro storyline purposes I will be using Arscenic when I need it for storyline purposes. Like when I want to retire someone, or I used to set up the game like gimmicks and face/heel. But I do not make them free and stuff. Also, the Diary starts December 1st 2005, and since I wrote this before Survivor Series, I did my own results for both Survivor Series and the Raw right after. With atht said here are those results.

A short video is shown, showing clips from Survivor Series, ending Orton beating Kane as the finish.

The SmackDown! Intro is shown.

Theodore Long’s music hits.

Theodore Long: Listen to me playas. Last Monday, on RAW, Eric Bischoff said some pretty nasty things about your General Manager. He went to call me a loser and a player. Well let me tell ya one thing, brotha, I ain’t no fool and I ain’t no player! I’m a playa, and there ain’t nothing wrong with that! So holla at me fool, and ya betta watch yourself, cause the next tiem you got something to say to me, ya betta say it to my face! I can dig that!

Eric Bischoff’s music hits.

Eric Bischoff: Teddy, come on. You know I was only kidding right? I mean its not your fault you were damned with, well, no abilities at all. I mean you could have trained for that match a little, and besides I am a Black Belt in Karate and you are… Well… You’re from the hood so… I guess that can count for something.

Theodore Long: Listen to me, fool. If you gonna try and talk gansta you might as well say it properly, because I’m from DA hood! You feel me?

Eric Bischoff: Whatever! Just remember, if it wasn’t for me you wouldn’t have your damn job right now! I hired you as a manager! I brought you into the spotlight! Before me you were nothing more than a Referee on RAW! Then you had a streak of bad luck and were drafted to SmackDown! And all of a sudden, you replace Kurt Angle, the greatest wrestler in the world, as General Manager and you think you’re king?

Theodore Long: What you jealous of SmackDown!?

Eric Bischoff: Jealous? Ha! Why would I, the General Manager of RAW, be jealous of the B Show?!

Theodore Long: Don’t you know anything fool? The B Show stands for Best Show!

Eric Bischoff: You know what Long, I’m getting sick of you, your show and your Superstars! I’ll show you a Best Show, or should I say a Big Show…

Bischoff starts to walk away.

Theodore Long: Now hold on playa! You leave your boys outta this! You feel me? Bischoff!

Backstage

Josh Matthews: Randy Orton, how do you feel about your win at Survivor Series, when you defeated Kane to give Team SmackDown! the win?

Randy Orton: Honnestly Josh, it was a piece of cake. I guess wrestling skills run in the family, or the lack of. See Kane, is just like The Undertaker; big, tall and stupid. I guess I can add him to my list, only under Legend by Blood Killed. See Josh, I don’t even care about The Undertaker anymore. My father and I killed him for good when we burned that casket. He is finished, and The Undertaker is out of sight and out of mind. I have more important things to think about, like coaxing Theodore Long into giving me the spot in tonight’s title match instead of Rey Mysterio.

Tazz: Wow, I guess that means tonight is going to be Rey Mysterio vs Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship. This is great!

Randy Orton: The only thing I’m feeling here is that you are treating me, you’re biggest Superstar, like I’m part of the damn Junior Division.

Theodore Long: Don’t be hatin on the little playas fool.

Randy Orton: Teddy, you can’t possibly think that I’m going to wait and sit around for something to happen right? I mean, sure an interview, but I need more than that.

Chris Benoit: Call it off? Why? So that you and Booker can go talk Theodore into giving you a match against someone you could actually beat for the belt. Nah! That’s okay Sharmell. Thanks for the offer, but we are now 2 – 0 in my favor. So if you don’t mind…

Internet News – December 2nd 2005

Batista Injury Update

As it stands now, Batista has reportedly decided to work through the injury at TV tapings. He has been taken off of House Show schedules for now, and it seems so for the remainder of the year. The surgery is still up in the cards, but he told management he would work through the Injury until they decide to drop the belt. It is unknown at this time when that may be, but when he does, he will be taking a 4 month leave of absense.

WWE Raw Results for Monday December 5th 2005

Video recap of Eric Bischoff, Big Show, Kane and Edge on SmackDown!

Raw intro

Joey Styles: Welcome to Monday Night Raw! I’m Joey Styles with Jerry The King Lawler and Jonathan Coachman.

Jonathan Coachman: That’s The Coach to you. And yes it’s a wonderful way to start Raw tonight with none other than Eric Bischoff waiting in that very ring to make a special announcement.

Jerry Lawler: Easy for you to say, he looks happy.

Jonathan Coachman: So?

Jerry Lawler: Bischoff’s never happy. This can’t be good.

Eric Bischoff: What a beautiful Monday Night it is tonight here in Sacramento, California! You see, last Thursday, I, Eric Bischoff, personally made myself acquainted with SmackDown’s own Theodore Long. See, I beat Teddy at Survivor Series, and now Kane & Big Show beat little Rey Rey and the Fluffy Animal Batista on their own show! How many times has that been now? Well, it doesn’t matter anyway because Raw will always be the A Show, the Always Better Show. And if I have to go invade SmackDown! every week to prove it I will. I’ll attack their biggest stars, I’ll cost them money, I’ll steal their damn championships, I’ll…

Vince McMahon’s music starts and he goes into the ring

Vince McMahon: You’ll what? You’ll bury them under just like you did to me when you were running WCW… Wait a minute… I buried you in the end, right? See Bischoff, all this wasted money, injured superstars and boycotted shows you’re talking about, well there’s one thing you’re forget. You’re attacking MY superstars, you’re costing ME money, you’re stealing MY damn belts! And in case you forgot, I happen to be you’re boss, and do you know what happens when an employee costs his boss money? He gets fired! So Bischoff, I am asking… No I’m ordering you to stay the hell away from any SmackDown! show because if you so much as show you’re face on SmackDown! You’re FIRED!

Eric Bischoff: You wouldn’t dare! You wouldn’t have the guts to fire me! You damn well know I’m the best thing to ever be in charge of Raw!

Vince McMahon: Do you want to test that theory Bischoff?

Large cheers from the crowd.

Eric Bischoff: What I mean is that it would be stupid to fire me. I outlasted as General Manager of Raw for 3 years now.

Vince McMahon: Now you’re calling me stupid? You know Bischoff there’s only one person who ever got away with calling me stupid and his name is Stone Cold Steve Austin!

Large cheers

Vince McMahon: Where is he now Bischoff? He is a praised Legend in the WWE, but he isn’t here is he? Do you want to be like that Eric?

Eric Bischoff: Its not that its… its… its… just I…

Vince McMahon: Its just cause you’re an idiot dammit! So I’ll tell you what Bischoff. Tonight, you are nobody. Tonight I’m calling the shots, so get your damn stuff out of my office! Also, and I want you to hear this, the Main Event for tonight will be to reward your “hitmen”, if you will, with a special match tonight. They will be defending their Tag Team Championship against Shawn Michaels and a partner of his choice! Also tonight, since Edge wants to be so helpful in the matter, he will be going up against none other than the Nature Boy himself, Ric Flair! And Triple H, you better listen to me because you are banned from ringside! If you so much as enter the arena you can kiss your ass goodbye and join Jim Ross on the unemployment bench! And Bischoff, one more thing, since I know you are loving this so much, I figure I ought to give you the whole bunch of time off, so from here until whenever I damn well decide you can come to Raw and help out the new General Manager of Raw, Vincent Kennedy McMahon! You want an A Show Bischoff I’ll give you one!

Overall: 79%

Jerry Lawler: Did you hear that! I think Eric’s Bischoff’s reign of terror is over. He just became everything he hates and that’s a lackey to Vince McMahon! JR would be proud.

Jonathan Coachman: JR might be proud, but he is also collecting unemployment checks courtesy of your new General Manager! How can this be a good thing?

Joey Styles: Well good or bad, its true and coming up next is Edge vs Ric Flair.

Commercial

Edge’s music hits and he and Lita make their way out to the ring.

Edge: I don’t know how this is a punishment, I mean really? Flair is what one hundred and five now! I, the Money In The Bank, am the biggest star on Raw, and I can kick Flair’s wrinkled old ass any day!

Flair’s music starts and he goes into the ring with Edge and Lita

Ric Flair: You think you can, huh? You really think that? Well why not put you’re money where you’re mouth is. How about tonight’s match is you’re Money In The Bank contract against my Intercontinental Championship. Winner takes all! Woooooo!

Edge: Fine, that’s fine!

Rob Conway’s music starts

Carlito: Rob Conway, The Conman, Carlito wants to know, and I got two questions fro you, what you did to those Legends in the past few weeks, do you think that’s cool? And two, why it take so long to get you on my show? I asked a long time ago, and Carlito hates waiting.

Rob Conway: You know Carlito, I think what I did was beyond cool. I mean, I took on a ring full of legends and…

Carlito: And what? You got your ass kicked by a bunch of old men. That’s not cool.

Rob Conway: Well, aside from Raw Homecoming in October, a long time ago Carlito, by the way, I think that I kind kicked Flair’s butt…

Carlito: Long time ago or not, you still got your ass kicked. And Triple H helped you beat Flair.

Rob Conway: Listen, Carlito, those old geezers may have put my ass down, but I still think that a Legend is someone who can’t do anything anymore. You know, something ancient. Like the legend of Hercules, or the legend of, I don’t know, Carlos Colon.

Carlito: Carlos Colon? He is a former NWA champion, he is a living legend.

Rob Conway: Listen, you can be proud of your father all you want, but the fact remains that he is still an old geezer. And the NWA World Title, who has held that? Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race… All old geezers. And look lately, Rhino, Jeff Jarrett, Raven, all guys who couldn’t make it big in the WWE think they can go to Total Non-Existing Action and pretend to be stars!

[arwrestling]

I just wanted to let you all know that I posted these two shows to kinda show you a taste of what each program is doing and what way they are heading. Also, Armaggedon, teh next PPV is SmackDown! only this time and starting January they are all co-productions, to make it easier. I know it is unrealistic for WWE to drop all plans suddenly like that, and teh UPN thing was unplanned, I forgot to switch SmackDown! to Friday's beforehand. So bear with me and tell me what you all think. Thank you.

[Matt]

The Hogan thing was rather disappointing, I was really hoping it would be someone good. The whole SD! vs. Raw thing is getting out of hand, and I have a feeling you're going to merge the two brands back together. So if you do at least do it for a reason. I think youre a good writer, al this diary needs is a good angle (I don't mean like SD! vs Raw. I mean more on the lines of WWE losing some key players and having to scrounge talent from the INDYs.) and it'd be one of the best.

[Cavalier]

I was hoping Kevin Nash. Hulk Hogan? Man, you have bad taste....

[arwrestling]

Okay, sorry I know and I can axplein both things.

First off, I REFUSE TO MERGE THE BRANDS. That said, it will not happen.

As for the Hogan thing, it was kinda off the top of my head, last minute thing. I booked the Shawn Michaels thing but didn't really have a prtner in mind, and when I noticed that nobody fit the bill, I decided to bring Hogan in but its going somewhere for sure. No worries.

Thanks for the feedback.

I know that Angle is a tough opponent but he’s no Nature Boy! Wooooooo! Ric Flair is a living legend. Ric Flair overcame all odds when I survived a plane crash and broke my back! They told me I would never walk again and that I would never wrestle the same way again. And they were right, because Ric Flair came back bigger better and won more championships than I had ever had before!

Vince McMahon: Are you deaf or stupid Bischoff, I said from January, that means the 1st! Don’t piss me off, get out!

Backstage, Hulk Hogan & Shawn Michaels are walking and they go right past Maria. She stops them.

Maria: Shawn! I just wanted to…

Shawn Michaels: Listen, Maria, you don’t have to ask anything because I know what you’re gonna say. You’re gonna say why is it that The Heart Break Kid chose the Immortal Hulk Hogan as my partner last week. Well, I’ll tell you. Even though Hulk and I may have had our share of disagreements in the past few months, I still know that he is the most respected man in our business. Everyone wants to be the next Hulk Hogan. He is a Legend. He was the biggest star of the 1980s, and with The Showstoppa being the biggest name of the 1990s, it makes for a perfect duo. And we all remember the matches we had before our little argument last Summer, they were classic! Well, Maria, we are here to create new classics and it certainly isn’t Kane or Big Show who is going to stop that from happening. Oh no, Maria, this time its for real, noboady can stop a Dream Team.

Hulk Hogan: You said it brother, now lets go out there and Hulk It Up a little, and give them a little Sweet Chin Music with a side order of Atomic Leg Drops!

Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan leave while laughing and yelling.

Maria: I was just going to tell him his show was untied.

She giggles and looks a little off guard.

Just a quick reminder that if you like or don't like something, please let me know either by PM or here in teh Diary. I will do what I can to make sure everyone enjoys the Diary and yet still have my plans in store. I can't make this better if no one tells me what should be changed.

[Lineker]

I think Hogan was a bad choice... I mean only a few months earlier they had a feud, and the night after on RAW, HBK broke kayfabe to insult Hogan. I think you should have used someone else. But not bad so far.

[Guest goodoldHBK]

I just have one minor snippet of information.

I don't believe that Triple H, in real life, would actually push for the debut of CM Punk. IIRC, a few months back, he and HBK were watching a match of his, and absolutely trashed him.

Just my opinion, but this is your diary, so I am sure whatever you do will be fine.

[TGC]

Pimping your diary to other members of the board via PM's is wrong, against the rules, and just plain sad.

DO NO do this again or you will recieve a second warning.

TGC

[arwrestling]

Well, firstly I want to appoligize about that. Someone PMed me about their Diary so I thought it was okay. Second thank you for teh feedback, and the Hogan thing I swear will not last, its not in the plans to have them as tag champs for long. I just needed to introduce Hogan back into the WWE. Third, HHH & CM Punk are friends, so that's why I wrote that. Hope that clears stuff up and glad you all seem to like the most of it. ANd no more PMs, I swear.

SmackDown! Results December 15th 2005

SmackDown! starts with Theodore Long in the ring.

Theodore Long: Holla! Listen up, tonight I’m here to tell you that I have been banned from booking the Main Event of the final SmackDown! only PPV. But I trust Mr. McMahon, and that said he is supposed to come out here tonight, playas, to tell you and me what that Main Event will be. Now I do have one request for the match, and that’s to make damn sure that none of those Raw punks interfere and ruin the whole thing, you feel me?

Vince McMahon’s music starts and he comes down to the ring.

Vince McMahon: Well, let me tell yu this much Teddy. There is not one Raw superstar who will interfere in the match. Actually, every Raw superstar will be banned from the building and if they dare show up their contracts will effectively be terminated. That is, every superstar other than the following four. As you already know, Trish Stratus is set to take on Melina to defend her championship. Now, back to what the main subject is, the Main Event of Armageddon. You see, Long, to solve that little problem you have been having here on SmackDown!, I have decided to make a six-man elimination match for the World Championship. Batista will be defending his title against Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, Kane, The Big Show & Edge. If Raw wins, the World Championship become property of Raw. Also, to make the stakes a little higher, if Raw wins, Batista will be suspended for a undisclosed amount of time. If SmackDown! wins the match, you keep your Championship and Edge will lose his Money In The Bank Contract and he will not be able to challenge anyone for either the World Championship or WWE Championship for one year, and we will have the contract ready and wating. Oh and Batista, Rey and Orton you all have the night off to get ready for your match. Mr. Long, thank you for your time and I’ll see you this Sunday.

Vince McMahon leaves and Theodre Long stands there in awe. He takes the mic.

Theodore Long: Well, you all heard it playas. So there ain’t nothing I can do or say to change it. Batista will not be here tonight, neither will Rey Mysterio or Randy Orton. But, tonight you will see a great Main Event either way. It has come to my attention that JBL has decided that he doesn’t feel he is being treated like the Wrestling God that he is. So, JBL, you want to call yourself a god, that’s cool playa, but the next step up is a Legend. So how about you start off be beating one. So tonight, JBL will take on Road Warrior Animal. Holla!

Michael Cole: Well, there you go Tazz, looks like the Mian Event for tonight will be a God vs a Legend. Should be good.
