Post- SmackDown! Notes

By: Willie The Wanker

- SmackDown! gets a 4.96 rating for the 2nd consecutive week. It seems like the same rating but maybe it might raise up some more next week. That is if WWE wont screw it all up

- Steph came back from her vacation and announced a match for the PPV. Show and Lesnar will face each other at the Royal Rumble. The winner will advance to the royal rumble match featuring 29 other stars.

- The Undertaker shall be returning soon. From my point of view he WILL return with the deadman gimmik. I hope he does cause it will KICK ASS!

- The Kidman/Hardy match was the best match in my opinion. It shows that Matt Hardy SHOULD be pushed into the cruiserweight division. I know he hates to be hanging with the cruisers and rather be with the heavyweights. But if he looked at it carefully he can see that he can shine more in the cruiserweight title picture

- That spear by Edge was some hard spot.

- The Los Guerreros/Cena and B2 feud seems to be going fine by the moment. But does this mean Cena and B2 will face them for the titles at the Rumble? I hope not. I prefer that Team Angle will win that no. 1 contendership match next week.

- The Main event was not up to main event standards. It is NOT the reason I say that because A-Train was in it. Infact, I do not hate A-Train, I do NOT however like D-Extreme..LIKE the hairy ape-train as well! But the match was just another squash match. When will WWE, specifically the SmackDown! bookers realize that a squash main event featuring Brock kicking the ass of an unfortunate opponent within the 3 minute time-frame of a Goldberg squash will not do them good?

January 11, 2003 Velocity Results

Reported by D-Extreme

Getting his ass handed to him 3 times a week

(commentators: Josh Matthews and The Cat)

Team Angle vs Funaki and Tajiri.

Well it is one of THOSE matches yet again ladies and gents. A new tag team facing 2 cruiserweights with the same nationality. And if you ask me if this is going to be a solid opener, well let us find out now! Funaki and Shelton Benjamin start things out as both men lock up and Shelton quickly applies a front face lock and Funaki backs Shelton on a corner to let go, and it works! Funaki goes to the top and delivers 10 punches to the head of Shelton Benjamin. Funaki whips Shelton to the ropes and goes for a hiptoss but Shelton blocks it and kicks Funaki to the gut and takes SmacDown!s no.1 announcer down with a snap suplex. Shelton tags in Charlie Haas and they deliver a double dropkick on Funaki. Charlie Haas dominates Funaki from here on. Haas misses a clothesline as Funaki ducks it and Funaki takes Charlie Haas down with a hurracanrana. Tag to Tajiri and Tajiri takes down a charing Shelton Benjamin out with a spinkick to the face! Charlie Haas gets up only to receive a barrage of punches and kicks from Tajiri!!! TAJIRI PAAAAWWWWWAAA!!!!! Tajiri whips Haas to the corner but is reversed. Charlie Haas follows Tajiri over the corner but then Tajiri locks on the TARANTULA on Haas! HAHAHAH FOOLISH CHARLIE!!! Tajiri lets go and keeps Charlie Grounded with some headlocks. He tags out to Funaki. Tajiri and Funaki whips Haas to the ropes and Tajiri hits a hard spin kick to the gut of Haas and Funaki takes Haas down with a bulldog facecrusher. Funaki goes for a pin but Shelton gets in and breaks up the pin. Tajiri gets in and goes to help Funaki but is stopped by the ref. While the dumbass ref back is turned Shelton and Charlie are beating up Funaki. Charlie Haas holds Funaki as Benjamin hits Funaki with his Superkick. Haas pins Funaki as the ref turns his attention back to the match. Tajiri goes to break the pin but Shelton delivers a superkick to him as well. 1,2,3! Team Angle wins!

Team Angle defeated Tajiri and Funaki at 6:00 when Charlie Haas pinned Funaki.

Rating 8/10 for the second week straight, the Velocity opener kicked ass! No blown spot whatsoever in the match and that is a good thing! It would have gotten 9 or 10 but then again the crowd was not into it as I was and why did Team Angle forget to do that leapfrog attack?

Footage from SmackDown

The video plays the footage from last SmackDown! where Stephanie McMahon announced that Big Show and Brock will be facing at the next PPV, Royal Rumble. The catch was, if one of them win, they will get a spot at the Rumble. I think that is a good way to end this feud and it looks like the winner of this match will have a BIG chance of winning the Rumble as well. My bet is on Brock winning this match AND the Rumble!

Chris Kanyon vs The Diamondback

Now I know what you are thinking, WHO is this Diamondback person wearing that black mask on with a diamon drawing on the forehead of the mask. Sources tell me he is either a new cruiserweight to enter the SmackDown! ranks OR he might be The Jet who competed last week here. Now do NOT get me wrong on this, BUT aside from the differences of the mask, The Jet AND the Diamondback got the same size and height..concidence..I AM NOT COUNTING ON IT! Things start off with Kanyon delivering some hard chops to Diamondback and backs him into the corner. Once there Kanyon goes to the second rope and sends Diamondback to the mat with a bulldog. Kanyon goes for an early pin, and to his amazement, DIAMONDBACK KICKS OUT! BAH GAWD!!! Kanyon goes ballistic and delivers some punches to the poor masked man before whipping him to the ropes. Kanyon goes for a back body drop but Diamondback lands behind him and goes for a schoolboy pin. Kanyon kicks out at 2 and both men get back up. Exchange of punches until Kanyon rakes the face of Diamondback for the advantage and Kanyon delivers a high angle backdrop on The Diamondback! Kanyon goes to the top rope and delivers an elbowdrop and pins him. Diamondback kicks out YET AGAIN!!! Kanyon grows pissed off and decides to take care of this once and for all as he goes for the Flatliner but the Diamondback hits an elbow to the head of Kanyon and grabs him like he was going to do a stunner on Kanyon. But instead he delivers a Dudley Dog type of move and pins Kanyon 1,2,3.

The Diamondback defeated Kanyon at 3:51 when The Diamondback pinned Kanyon with a Dudley Dog Type of maneuver.

Rating 5/10 it was a mediocre fight with a surprising ending. But I do NOT approve of this. I mean how come Kanyon gets beaten by a jobber?! Kanyon IS an established wrestler here on the WWE,  I mean he was the INVASION MVP! Yet he lost to a jobber? Oh well that is the WWE for ya. But then again the Diamondback DOES look like The Jet from last week. I wonder if the WWE are going to debut a new wrestler here in SmackDown in the form of this guy. Kinda makes you think huh?

Chavo Guerrero vs Shannon Moore

Uncle Eddie or Master Matthew aint here to see their boys slug it out so let us just get this over with! Chavo whips Shannon Moore to the ropes but Shannon Moore delivers a flying headscisors takedown on Chavo. Chavo gets back up to charge at Shannon but the MF'er takes Chavito down with a drop toe hold. Shannon locks a chinlock on Chavo but Chavo grabs on to the ropes to break the stinkin submission move! Chavo ducks a spinning heel kick from Shannon and pokes Shannon right in the eye before taking Shannon down with a dropkick. Chavo on the top rope delivers a flying crossbody on Shannon for the pin. Shannon gets out of the pin at the count of 2. Both men exchange punches from this point and Shannon blocks a punch and whips Chavo to the corner. Shannon goes for a superplex but Chavo punches him in the gut. Chavo delivers a rolling powerbomb from the corner and we can hear those 'holy SH*T' chants. The Reason you ask? I DUNNO! Both men are down for the count on the mat baby! Chavo is the first to get up and then Shannon. Chavo and Shannon at this point do some chain wrestling..CRUISERWEIGHT STYLE! Chavo grabs Shannon and nails him with the BRAINBUSTA! 1,2,3 and the little latino wins yo!

Chavo Guerrero defeated Shannon Moore at 4:20 when Chavo pinned Shannon with the Brainbuster.

Rating 6/10 Pretty good cruiserweight match as always. It was just a drag that Eddie Guerrero or Matt Hardy was not there to support either of the two.  Yeah it was supposed to be 5 but seeing that rolling powerbomb move by Chavo on the corner, now that is something you can only see on TNA. Good call from the official to allow them to do that on a B Show on the WWE.

A-Train is a MONSTER!

We see Billy Gunn walking towards the locker room area. He was wearing street clothes since he might be back but he is not yet cleared to wrestle. Infact sources tell me that he will play a temporary manager role to his partner Chuck. All of a sudden, is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO! IT’S A-TRAIN RUNNING TOWARDS HIM AND SHOVING BILLY INTO A PILE OF BOXES!!! HAHAHAH!!! A-Train picks up Gunn and starts to knee him to the gut before delivering a hard baldo bomb on the concrete floor! The carnage is over as A-Train tells Gunn that he will do the same to Chuck later on. All I can say is, GO A-TRAIN!!! BEAT THE CRAP OUTTA GAY PALUMBO!

A-Train vs Chuck Palumbo

A-Train starts off delivering some hard blows to Chucky. GO TRAIN! A-Train whips him to the ropes and goes for a clothesline but the lucky chuck ducked and goes behind A-Train and delivers a backdrop. NO! Chuck backs A-Train to the corner and delivers some shoulder charges on A-Train. He charges at A-Train but Chuck eats BOOT! Haha! A-Train rallies back with some hard clubs to the back of Palumbo. A-Train whips him to the ropes and takes him down with a shoulder charge.  A-Train now beating the hell outta Chuck while he is down, lefts and rights a pourin on the face of the former faggot that we know! A-Train goes for a suplex but Chuck blocks it and delivers a suplex of his own. Chuck delivers a legdrop on A-Train and pins Train. A-Train gets a shoulder up on 2! GO TRAIN!!! CHO CHO!! A-Train gets smacked on the face with a painful looking left hook by Palumbo. A-Train rallies back though with punches of his own and backs up as he takes Chuck down with the BICYCLE KICK! A-Train picks Chuck up and whips him to the ropes but Chuck takes him down with the clothesline. Chuck waits for Train to get up and goes for a Jungle Kick..NO A-Train blocks the move and kicks him to the gut. A-Train hoisting him up and deliver the DERAILER!!! 1,2,3! A-TRAIN WINS YO!!!!

A-Train defeated Chuck Palumbo at 6:48 when he pinned Chuck Palumbo with the Derailer

Rating 8/10 well what did you think?! A-TRAIN WAS IN IT SO OF COURES IT IS DAMN HIGH BOY! A-Train just showing us why he OWNZ the damn Velocity ring baby! That was one stiff punch by Palumbo though. In my opinion, Palumbo should have been a boxer than a wrestler. What you guys say this match is too highly rated? DAMN RIGHT IT IS!

Highlights From SmackDown!

They show the highlights of SmackDown! that shows Brock defeat A-Train. Damn you Brock! YOU SHALL PAY!!! NOBODY MESSES WITH THE TRAIN YO! Anyway it shows Brock delivering a very bad-ass F5, unfortunately A-Train was in the receiving end of it.

Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty vs Noble and Nunzio

Back dat ass up! And this is reason #8 why some WWE storylines are not properly started or ended. One week we see Scotty saving Rikishi from Train, the next, he aint fighting A-Train. Well scrap that and let us recap this match! Things start off with Noble and Scotty locking up. Noble gets the advantage with a slide to the back and he goes for a overhead belly to back suplex but Scotty lands behind Noble and Scotty 2 Hotty lands an elbow to the back of Noble's head. Scotty hits a very hard chop that ECHOES..through my TV monitor and it sends Jamie BOY Noble staggering to his corner to tag out to Nunzio. Nunzio runs towards Scotty and goes for a clothesline but Scotty ducks and goes for a savate kick which Nunzio blocks and spins Scotty around. Nunzio gives Scotty the hand to the chin slide gesture, kinda makes you think Nunzio is Michael Jackson in the smooth criminal music video. Nunzio then pokes the eye of Scotty befre delivering a couple of punches that sends Scotty reeling to a corner. Nunzio now goes to the top and delivers some punches to Scotty. At this point we see Nunzio applying the camel clutch on Scotty, it seems like Nunzio is working on Scotty's recently rehabbed spine. Jamie adds some more pain as he gets in the ring and delivers a basement dropkick right into the face of Scotty, hey! THEY JUST DID A KAI EN TAI MOVE!!! Nunzio tags in Noble anyways and they take Scotty down with a double suplex. Jamie further makes Scotty's back hurt with a rear chinlock applied. Jamie whips Scotty to the ropes but suddenly Scotty slides between Noble and gets the desperation tag to Rikishi. Rikishi gets in the ring and waits for Noble to look behind to see him and levels him with a savate kick! Nunzio gets in the ring and Rikishi takes him down with a powerslam. DA BIG KEESH grabs Noble and sends him to the corner, and he also sends Nunzio at the same corner. Rikishi charges there with his HUGE BUM BUM and both Nunzio and Noble are down at the corner..you know what comes next..DOUBLE STINKY FACE!!! Well after a few beat downs on Noble, he tags in Scotty and Rikishi takes down Noble with a samoan drop. Scotty finishes things off with the W-O-R-M! He pins Noble 1,2,3! Rikishi and Scotty win!

Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi defeated Noble and Nunzio at 7:04 when Scotty pinned Noble with the WORM

Rating: 7/10 it was a very decent tag match. I see a good chemistry with Nunzio and Noble, yet in Scotty or Rikishi's case, its only on the dancing part. The other thing that bothers me is where the heck is NIDIA?!

Chapter Five: The Austin Agenda

Date: January 11, 2003

Time: 8 PM

Venue: The World At Time Square

The scene opens on a table where 2 body guards are standing infront of. Vince McMahon is the man sitting on the table while drinking a glass of wine. The orders are yet to arrive and he looks at the other side of the table to see an empty seat. He looks at the side where the mirror is located. He sees a view of the New York streets as he takes another sip of the wine. He looks behind him to see someone.

Vince: Go ahead and sit down. I have been waiting for a while you know? What? No its alright, dinners on me.

The man sits down on the chair that was once empty. He calls for the waiter to give him his order. The waiter leaves as the man looks back at Vince. Both Vince and the man shake each others hand.

Man: So why do you want me to be here Vince?

Vince: I was hoping you would know why I called you here.

The waiter returns with a bottle of beer and hands it to the man. He drinks on the beer as Vince continues.

Vince: Eric, do not be alarmed when I tell you that somebody from your past is going to be here soon enough.

Eric: If your doing a 'this is your life show' here for me Vince, Its not a good time. I appreciate it but...

Vince: No Bischoff that's not it. This man is somebody we know and he is somebody who recently left our company.

Eric: Its Waltman is it? What, your telling me he is going to cooperate with me? Hell the day you said you hired me he left in a heartbeat man. What’s the proposition for him this time? He gets to kick my ass in public, Vince?

Vince: Damn it Eric it’s not X-Pac! OK! Let me finish first before you react.

Eric: Sorry Mr. Mcmahon, ok then who is it?

Vince: Austin. Steve Austin.

Eric: Oh…Steve eh?

Vince: Now I know that he still might have some bad blood on you. But please Eric, we have been trying to contact him since New Years Day for his return to the company.

Eric: Don't worry I think he is over that firing he got on WCW. Besides that was what, 9 years ago? Hey it’s ok...with me. So where is Steve? Are we going to meet him tonight?

Vince: Yes we are but this is Steve were talking about. And I am not so sure if he would actually come here like Shane told me this Monday.

Eric: Speaking of the devil Vince, look whose coming here.

Vince turns to see a man in shirt and jeans stand in front of the 2 bodyguards. The 2 agree to step out of the way and the man sits down to the chair that was remaining. Vince smiles and greets the man.

Vince: Took you long enough. I thought your not gonna show up actually.

Man: You did huh Vince? What made you think of that? The walk out I did last summer? Is that it?

Vince: Bingo. Steve I got to tell you, the WWE needs you back. Its 2003, it is a New Year and new things arrive like this. So yes I am asking you to return to the WWE right here right now.

Austin: Your seriously asking me to come back Vince? I am not sure that's the egomaniacal Vince McMahon that I worked for in the past 7 years in my WWE tenure talking right now. Well didn't you say it yourself Vince? Didn’t you say that you CLOSED the door on me?

Vince: Yes but it's a new year..and we can all forge..

Austin: NO its not that easy to forget Vince! Cause you damn well know that my contract is still with you and you can still control it with an iron fist. The only thing I can do is sit out of it until it expires on March of 2004! Hell I can wait a year and 2 months for what the hell kind of propaganda you put up and say that I was a man who dropped the ball?! I cannot forget that Vince, you think I am gonna go soft and forgive you for doing that? Talking those damn **** about me while I was on court for my divorce and to get out of the charges my ex wife put me? I am still not over it Vince.

Vince: Well if you want to, we can publish your side of the story. Will that be good enough?

Austin: Well then, that is a good start. But that is not enough Vince, that is not enough.

Eric: Not enough?! What are you now some self...

Vince: Eric, no, it is alright. We need him back, and will do ANYTHING just to get Austin back. So Steve...go on, I'm listening.

The scene fades as both men talk. Before the scene goes off we hear Vince exclaiming 'Wh-WHAT?!'

Gah sorry for the delay. The crap will continue!!! *evil laughter*

January 12, 2003 Heat Results

Reported by D-Extreme

A big idiot since 1988

(Commentators: Jonathan Coachman and Lita)

Chris Nowinski vs Spike Dudley

Nowinski starts things off as he delivers a face rake to little Spike, and then he takes the little Dudley down with a leg trip. Nowinski is now keeping Spike grounded as he applies a ground headlock, but after a minute Spike slowly gets up and drives his elbow to the gut of Nowinski for him to let go. Spike is now ON FIYAH and starts hitting some punches on Nowinski before sending him into the corner. And at the corner, Spike does his usual..SPIKE STOMP DOWN!!! I so mark for that move, who would have thought a little man stomping you on your chest while at the corner would be such a great move? Spike is now on the offensive as he takes Nownski down with a dropkick. At one point of the match Nowinski avoids a splash from the top rope by Spike. Nowinski sends Spike to the ropes and catches him with a not so impressive powerslam pin. Spike kicks out at 2 and both men get up and goes for sequence #12827 which is Hiptoss, hiptoss, block, Spike kicks Nownski on the mid-section and bounces off the ropes for a clothesline which Chris Harvard ducks, and finally Nowinski takes Spike down to the mat with a hard backdrop the ONLY move I believe he ever did well in this match so far. Spike is down while Nowinski is taunting at the crowd, he turns around to pick up Spike and whips him to the ropes. Spike bounces off the ropes and stops before he gets back body drop by Nowinski and kicks Chris N on the face before grabbing him and knocks Nowinski out with the DUDLEY DAWG! Spike pins Nowinski 1,2,3!

Spike Dudley defeated Chris Nowinski at 4:38 when Spike pinned Nowinski with the Dudley Dog

Rating: 5/10 it was a very bland opener in my opinion. I mean almost ALL of Nowinski's moves looked HORRIBLE! Well the only thing I like about him was he delivered a nice backdrop. The Dudley Dog was a good finish off to the match as well

Footage from RAW

The highlight from Raw shows the confrontation of HBK and Y2J at the office of Morley. Yep it was a good recap of what happened down there. I cannot wait to see this 4-way match on RAW this coming Sunday. Obviously it seems like Y2J will win it, but, I dunno yet. We will have to see it tomorrow night

Molly Holly vs Ivory

Well it's the usual women match up yet again. Molly Holly starts things off as he kicks Ivory to the mid-section and takes her down with a snapmare. Molly Holly is now delivering some punishment on the GLOW alumnus Ivory. Molly whips Ivory to the ropes and goes for a hiptoss but Ivory blocks it and delivers a hiptoss on Miss Molly instead. Ivory mounts on top of Molly and she is slamming Molly's head to the mat repeatedly before picking her up for a sloppy looking bodyslam. Ivory is taking Molly to school as she delivers a textbook backbreaker on Molly and pins her only to get a 2 count. Molly goes for a kick but Ivory blocks it, only to get a enziguri from Molly. Molly is now in control through out this match. Ivory ducks a clothesline and delivers a backdrop on Molly. Ivory sends Molly to the corner and goes for a superplex but Molly shoves Ivory down. Molly on the top rope and she flies down and connects with the MOLLY GO ROUND! She pins Ivory 1,2,3!

Molly Holly defeated Ivory at 5:26 when Molly pinned Ivory with the Molly-go-round.

Rating 4/10 It was a sub-par effort from both women. I know I HATE women matches but hey I seen better women wrestling than this. Most of the time in the match, the two women delivered some moves badly, save some of the parts I wrote down in the review. I hope we get better women's wrestling next week, although I fear I might be saying that in vain.

Stevie and Raven join forces for old times sakes?

We see Raven at the backstage area sitting on top of a crate while taping his fists. He notices Steven Richards and Victoria heading his way. Steven smiles at Raven and tells Raven congratulations in getting a Rumble spot and hopes he wins the Rumble as well. Victoria also congratulates Raven but mentions something about sausages being used as weapons for Raven to win the Rumble match. Steven says a bunch of stuff about their up coming tag match against Hardy and Hurricane, while he was..it seems like Raven was just looking at the 2 confused. After Steven stopped speaking, Raven just got up and shook his head as he left the area. It seems like the match is up next!

Hurricane and Jeff Hardy vs Raven and Richards(w/Victoria)

Victoria is here!!! Well, at the announce position with Lita and Coach actually. Hurricane and Stevie start things off. Hurricane delivers his flying clothesline to take down Steven. Steven Richards delivers some punches to Hurricane and backs him into his corner. Raven gets tagged in while Steven chokes Hurricane for a while in the corner before Raven breaks it with a kick to the gut of WWE's resident superhero. Raven delivers the clothesline bulldog combination while Hurricane was in the corner. He pins Hurricane but its only a 2 count.  Hurricane fights back as he blocks a punch by Raven and delivers a couple of his own. He whips Raven to the ropes and delivers a nice dropkick to the face of Raven. Man it is SO disturbing to hear Victoria commentating at the announce table with Coach and Lita...and I thought Lita was bad on the announce table..and SHE IS. Victoria is just saying those weird things since that is her gimmik and I find it funny and SEXY! Back to the match and lookie, Hurricane delivers a nice flying crossbody from the top rope but Raven gets his shoulder up before the 3 count was made. Hurricane slides behind Raven and tags out to Jeff. Jeff Hardy charges at Raven and takes him down with a front dropkick to the face. Jeff Hardy now opens Raven's legs so he can legdrop Raven below the belt! OUCHIES! Jeff Hardy backs Raven to the corner and charges at him, Raven gets out of the way but Jeff goes up to the top rope and hits Raven with the WHISPER IN THE WIND! Jeff slowly makes his way to Raven and pins him. Alas Raven kicks out at 2. Raven counters a armwrench and takes Jeff down from behind with a hard back elbow the back of Jeff's head. Raven tags out to Steven. Steven grabs Jeff and Raven gets ready to deliver a clothesline but Raven hits Steven instead as Jeff ducks down. Hurricane gets in the ring and takes Raven down with a Shinning Wizard Kick. Jeff Hardy picks Steven up and delivers the reverse twist of fate. Victoria heads down the ring to interfere but Hurricane grabs here and sends her back to the outside. Jeff is sitting on the top rope as Hurricane goes to the top rope as well and jumps above Jeff Hardy to deliver a splash on Steven Richards. Hurricane rolls out of the way as Jeff lands a Swanton Bomb on Steven Richards. Jeff pins Richards 1,2,3!

Jeff Hardy and The Hurricane defeated Steven Richards and Raven at 10:35 when Jeff Hardy pinned Steven with the Swanton Bomb

Rating: 8/10 solid tag team match at Heat. Plus 1 point since Victoria was there. Hell I liked the finish Hurricane jumping behind Jeff to do a splash on Richards then Jeff following it up with the Swanton..now that was one hell of a finish!

Highlights From Raw

We get a highlight from Raw yet again. This time it's the confrontation of Steiner and Triple H. Do we REALLY need to see that?! I guess we do..dang.

Test (w/Stacy Keibler) vs D'Lo Brown

WOW STACY LOOKS HOT! D'lo and Test start off by exchanging some punches. Test kicks D'Lo to the gut and takes him down with a mean looking clothesline. D’Lo gets whipped into the ropes by Test and Test catches him with a spinebuster slam and pins D'lo only for a 2 count. D'lo Brown is at the corner and Test charges at him but D'Lo greets him by sticking his boot up and it hits Test. D'lo Brown delivers some chops to Test and backs him into the corner. D'Lo goes on top of Test and delivers 10 punches to the face. D'Lo delivers his trademark legdrop on Test and pins him, but Test kicks out at 2. D'Lo Brown picks up Test and goes for a suplex but Test blocks it and back body drops D'Lo. At this point Test dominates D'Lo Brown and takes him down atleast a dozen of times within a minute..WOW why did Test not pin him during those times?! The moron! Test delivers a hard powerslam on D'Lo Brown and goes for a pin, D'Lo gets his shoulder up before the 3 count could be made. Test pounds away on D'Lo at a corner and goes for a superplex but D'Lo punches him and shoves him down to the mat. D'Lo is on the top rope and is going for the Lo Down but Test rolls out of the way and D'Lo hits canvas baby! HAHA!  D'Lo Brown gets up as Test is waiting for him at a corner. D'Lo turns around and Test meets him with the BIG BOOT! Test pins D'Lo 1,2,3! THE TESTICLES ARE HAPPY NOW! CAUSE TEST JUST WON! OH YEAH!

Test defeated D'Lo Brown at 6:18 when Test pinned D'Lo Brown with the Big Boot

Rating 7/10 it was a very good bout. The ending was good, very good. Who would have thought D'Lo would miss his frog splash raise your hand..oh nobody did eh?! FOR SHAME!

Scott Steiner vs William Regal (w/Lance Storm)

The Un-Americans are in the ring for a pre-match promo. But it was cut short as Scott Steiner enters the stage and makes his way to the ring. The match starts and both men lock up on each other, not until Scott Steiner shoves Regal down the mat and poses for the crowd. Regal doesn't  take this lightly and charges at Steiner, only to get taken down by a short-arm clothesline. This point we are followed by some uninspired beat down from Scott Steiner as he delivers some sloppy punches to Regal and sends Regal backing into a corner. Steiner delivers a well executed T-Bone suplex on Regal and goes for a pin. Regal puts his boot on the ropes to break the pin. Steiner picks Regal up and whips him to the ropes and goes for a short-arm clothesline yet again but Regal ducks this one and rakes the face of Steiner before delivering a hard European Uppercut that sends Steiner staggering backwards to the ropes. Right now Regal charges at Steiner, only to be sent flying by Steiner to the outside. Storm helps Regal get back in the ring by the count of 6. Steiner greets Regal with clubs to the back. Steiner delivers a military press on Regal and delivers his patented elbow drop. He pins Regal only to get a 2 count. Regal is whipped into the corner and Steiner charges at him but EATS BOOT..HAHA! Regal takes Steiner down with a double axehandle from the top rope. Regal locks on an leg-scissors armbar on Steiner to keep him grounded for a minute. Regal is now in control of this match as he delivers a few more European Uppercuts and a few submission holds aimed at one of Steiner's arms. Steiner retaliates at one point as he takes Regal down with a hard clothesline. He hoists Regal onto one of his shoulders before taking him to the mat with a vicious powerslam. Steiner stalks Regal to get up, Regal goes up and Steiner grabs him to deliver another well executed T-Bone Suplex. Regal is lying flat on his stomach and Steiner ends the match with the Steiner Recliner. Regal taps out within seconds and Steiner wins

After the match Lance Storm attacks Steiner from behind. Steiner fights back with some punches and kicks Lance to the gut hard. He grabs Lance Storm and sends him flying to the outside. Regal gets up and gets tossed out by Steiner as well. Heat ends with Steiner on the top rope and poses for the crowd.

Scott Steiner defeated William Regal at 12:47 when he made Regal submit to the Steiner Recliner

Rating 8/10 it was a bit bland at the beginning I can tell you that. But things went all out terrific after that first T-Bon suplex from Steiner. The ending was good as well. I guess my old respect I have with Scott Steiner in his Steiner Brother days have resurfaced a bit. It might surface back completely...IF he can do a frankensteiner yet again.

WHAT?! Why did you spoil my secret plan?! Just kidding. Yeah Test has what it takes to get a push at this point of my diary. So yes, I shall keep your feedback in mind if I have something in store for Test somewhere between post-Rumble and Pre-WM19 period.

I will take a short break from writing this diary. RAW is being hard for me to write right now and next week I have ....EXAMS!!!

So I'll get to this diary as soon as I can. By that time I hope my RAW will be done then.

The Plot Thickens

Triple H is seen backstage wearing a black suit as he sits down on a chair in his locker room while watching RAW live on Television. Just then someone knocks on the door.

Triple H: Come on in, its open Naitch

With that said, we see Ric Flair enter with his client Batista. They approach Triple H who is sitting down on his chair. Triple H gets up and smiles as he shakes the hand of Naitch and then to Batista.

Triple H: I expected you both tonight but not this early. Whats up Naitch?

Flair: I know Hunter, but it seems that there will be contract signing with you, and Steiner tonight. Just in case you forgot Hunter, you confronted him last week, and you laid him out cold in the ring.

Triple H: I do know that Naitch. And tonight if I have my way I'll lay him down on that ring yet again. Because I will show him first hand that nobody messes with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. NOBODY messes with me...THE GAME!

Flair: THAT is the problem you see. Hunter, I know Scott Steiner. I have seen what he can do during my stay at WCW. He is a very brutal wrestler. In fact he injured about a dozen of wrestlers who tried to dethrone him during his title reign at the old WCW. We need a plan Hunter. Tonight we need do something to soften him up so that he will NOT be a threat to us and a threat to YOUR title at Royal Rumble.

Triple H: What is there to plan Naitch? C'mon this is the WWE and not the WCW. And the other thing is, Steiner is NOT the champion here. I am the WWE Heavyweight Champion. You do not have to worry about me Naitch. I got this whole Steiner situation under my control.

Flair: I trust that you do Hunter. But just one request Hunter, let me accompany you to that contract signing.

Triple H: Yeah sure, that is a very good idea Naitch. See you there.

Flair: Same to you champ! C'mon Dave lets go.

With that Flair and Batista leave Triple H's locker room. We go back to ringside where the next match is about to start.

The Contract Signing

RAW goes back from the break as we see Eric Bischoff standing in the middle of the ring. There we see a table and 2 chairs facing each other.

Bischoff: Ladies and Gentlemen. Tonight is the night for the contract signing for the Heavyweight Title Match! In this signing, the match will be confirmed and we will see it live on Sunday at the Royal Rumble! Yes this is a match brought to you by the RAW brand, the brand which not ONLY showcases the best talent of the WWE, it showcases the greatest mind of the sports entertainment world today, and that is none other than me…ERIC BISCHOFF!!!

With a grin on his face the crowd boos at him for making that comment.

JR: Eric Bischoff, he might be one of the greatest minds here in the world of Sports Entertainment but his ego equals the ego of one Vince McMahon

King: You think so? I bet they were separated by birth or something JR.

Bischoff. Shut up and show some respect here to the RAW General Manager! I DESERVE SOME DAMN RESPECT HERE..THIS IS MY SHOW! And seeing that Vince is still not here for some 'UNDISCLOSED' reasons, I see no point of waiting for our dear chairman. So let us get this over with. Introducing first and foremost..he is the challenger for the prestigious title. He is, BIG POPPA PUMP, SCOTT STEINER!!!

Sirens blare at the PA System as the crowd are on their feet and starts to cheer wildly.

"HOLLA...IF YA HEAR ME!"

JR: Here he is! Big Poppa Pump, Scott Steiner. He looks pumped up tonight.

King: He should be JR! He is given this opportunity to face our brand's champ at the Rumble. And as you can recall, Bischoff promise Scott this title shot, and that is the reason why you see Scott Steiner in the RAW ring right now and not on SmackDown!

Steiner enters the stage and poses for a while before heading down the ramp and sliding in the ring. He goes to the top rope to flex his muscles to the crowd yet again before going down and goes in front of Bischoff. He glares at the RAW GM as he takes off his shades. Eric backs off a bit as the music dies down.

Bischoff: WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA! Take it easy Scott, do NOT even try to threaten me with your looks. I guarantee you that the game is on his way as we speak. Infact he is here right now!

"ONE TWO, THIS ON?!"

"ITS ALL ABOUT THE GAME AND HOW YOU PLAY IT!"

"ITS ALL ABOUT CONTROL AND IF YOU CAN TAKE IT!"

With a familiar intro, it still is the same banana as Triple H comes out of the stage with Ric Flair. Both men make their way down the ramp as the crowd greets them with boos. They enter the ring and Triple H and Steiner staredown at each other. After a while Bischoff orders them to back themselves off each other and let the 2 take a seat on opposite sides of the table. Triple H signs the contract first, and then Steiner signs it. After the signing we see Bischoff clapping with glee before speaking.

Bischoff: Ladies and Gents, it seems like the RAW Heavyweight Title Match is OFFICIAL!!! Now if both of you would just please get up from your chairs and shake each others hands, we will get this thing done with.

With that, both men obliged and got up. Triple H and Steiner shake hands. But as Steiner turns around, Triple H spins him around to get a punch on his face. Steiner blocks the punch and clocks Triple H with a hard right hand.

Stacy: Did anybody tell you that you're the sweetest person I have ever met Test?

Now if you think you will replace him, THINK AGAIN! Because as I said...you have been released, in other words Johnny your ass just got FIRED!

Jericho: Now I would like to announce my position at the Royal Rumble. Now since HBK wants to make lightning strike twice by going on to the Rumble as the first entry, I guess I should re-think my choice. After a few days going to this RAW, I hit the jackpot baby! Cause if HBK will be entry no. 1, Y2J will be entry no. 2!!! Shawn Michaels, it is nice to see you being back at the Rumble and getting the no. 1 spot. But let me say this, I be damned if you think you will win that match. I will be damned if you think that you HBK a sanctimonious son of a bitch thinks that he can win the Rumble, bad back on the side and eliminate the other 29 competitors including me. Shawn, I am so sorry but this year it wont be you, it just wont be cause it is already written starting from tonight that someone else shall win that match. And that man is Y2J...CHRIS JERICHO!!!

JR: Such arrogance King, such arrogance being displayed by Jericho.

The Chairman Has Arrived

"No chance..."

"No chance, that’s what you got!"

As Vince's theme is being played and makes his way down the ring, we return to RAW!

JR: Welcome back folks and now we are here live as the CEO of the WWE has entered the ring.

King: Wow look at Mr. McMahon, JR. He looks a bit serious right now.

Vince: Now all of you know why I am here tonigh...

Vince gets cut off as the crowd gives him the 'asshole' chant. Vince just laughs it out a bit.

JR: That chant always pisses off Vince McMahon. The fact that 10,000 plus fans right now calling him an 'a-hole' makes him feel so disrespected

King: Yeah, and I wonder why he aint getting mad at that.

Vince: Ok if you idiots are done with your pathetic chant then let ME speak up right now. Now as I was saying, now all of you know why I am here tonight and that is because I have a special announcement. And this announcement is targeted to one man, and that man is the RAW General Manager. BISCHOFF, GET YOUR ASS IN THIS DAMN RING RIGHT NOW!

JR: Here comes the general manager now King

King: I'm telling you JR, he is in for some trouble when Vince is around.

Eric Bischoff enters the ring and nervously approaches Vince. Vince obviously has a scowl on his face before he speaks up.

Vince: Eric last Summer I chose you to lead this brand. Of all people I chose a man who is so devious, a man who I thought has 'RUTHLESS AGRESSION', and a man who almost drove this company to bankruptcy with WCW Nitro. But now look what happens after I put you in charge, you let Brock Lesnar go to SmackDown! Though I commend you in the acquisition of Triple H, not only did you let Brock leave RAW, you even let the Undertaker go. I don't know what game your playing here Eric but it aint nice. And as far as the ratings of RAW are concerned, the SmackDown! ratings are catching up on this show! Now explain to me that Eric.

Eric: You must understand Vince I cannot control the way Smack..

Vince: DON'T CALL ME VINCE! THAT'S "MR. MCMAHON" TO YOU!

Eric: Oh yes...'MR. MCMAHON', please give me more time to put RAW on the flagship show of this company. You see things are not happening to good lately, and last week I had a stomach flu so I could not control the things that went on here.

Vince: More time Eric? You want ME to give YOU more time?! Why that's a good idea you know. That is a very good idea. So I am giving you a month...no…3 weeks…oh no that's too much. ONE WEEK to shake things up on RAW!

Eric: ONE WEEK?! But I cannot possibly do tha...

Vince: YES YOU CAN! I thought your Eric Bischoff, a genius, a great general manager for RAW. I am positive you will shake things up next week. But if in case you don't Eric…read my lips...and you better read it good. If you CANNOT do something to boost RAW’s ratings….YOURE FIRED!

RAW fades to a closing as we see the shocked expression of Eric Bischoff after that announcement by Vince.

Rating: 80%

OVERALL CARD RATING: 72%

Post-RAW Notes

By: Heyman's Ho

- RAW got a TV Rating of 6.06. The ratings for RAW seem to be improving week after week.

- Last night we saw Johnny Stamboli fired off the RAW roster. Sources say that today, he is going to the SmackDown! taping. The writers are planning for Stamboli to be transferred to SmackDown! without a trade, so instead the storyline was he got fired from RAW and SmackDown! signed him as a free agent.

- Al Snow made an appearance last night and faced off with Christian. The Tough Enough trainer is looking forward to doing some more matches with the RAW brand in the early quarter of 2003. Backstage talks has it that after WM 19, Al Snow will either have less matches or leave the RAW roster for good to join 2 other trainers for a new season of Tough Enough. Tough Enough 4 auditions will start during May of 2003. The current series will have its finale in 10 days.

- The Un-Americans won the title from Booker T and Goldust. Not knowing what will happen next, will it be a 3 way feud for the tag team titles featuring the Dudleys vs Un-Americans vs Black Gold? Currently, the writing team for RAW has yet to come up for a new storyline if they decide to break up the team of Booker T and Goldust.

- The main event drew the most ratings last night. The rating rose from 3.0 in the last segment that featured the firing of Stamboli to 5.51. It was a mystery to many of the WWE production staff to see such a sprout in ratings after a segment since the RAW IS WAR episode where Mick Foley won the gold.

- Shawn Michaels was scheduled to be at RAW but could not come on RAW on time. Last week, the storyline showed that he had luggage problems, tonight it was no joke for HBK. He had travel problems as his luggage was put in a different flight.

- Vince McMahon appeared last night and gave Eric an amount of time to shake things up for RAW or he gets canned. Sources say that Steve Austin will make his return to RAW. Hence will shake things up. Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff were reportedly seen on The World, at times square talking to Steve Austin. It seems like they are planning to get Austin back to add some more solid ratings bait for RAW.

RAW 10th Anniversary Results

By: D-Extreme

Finally....THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL HAS ARRIVED! It was a very interesting night for the WWE during this awards night. Unlike the slammys....TODD PETTINGILL was NOT there. A certainly sigh of relief as the Hosts for the night are Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole. Originally it would have been Jim Ross but Good Ol JR was...absent for some weird reason or another. We kicked things off as they played a video montage with the music of Kid Rock.

Nominees:

The winner was Trish Stratus, why I saw this coming from a mile..I do not know. On a diva-related note, Lita was not present during the awards. There will be more on that in my next column later this week.

Don’t Try This At Home Award: Shane McMahon was introduced to present the 2nd award of the night. The award was presented for the biggest and sickest bumps that happened in RAW history.

The award went to Kurt Angle. Kurt had Team Angle with him and was in character while accepting the award and thanked himself for his hard work. Eventually, Angle's music cut him off and he walked away annoyed. That’s some classy stuff Kurt!

’Tell Me That I Did Not See That’ Award: Booker T was introduced to present the next award which was the Most Shocking Moment in Raw History Award.

The winner was Mick Foley for the three faces of Foley. With the car crash music in tow, Mick Foley went on stage wearing his Mankind mask while he has his tux on. Mick made an acceptance speech and thanked the people who voted for him to win this award. He also said that Mr. Socko wants to thank the fans, but Mr. Socko was reportedly absent in the awards ceremony due to the fact he is enjoying his cleaning inside of a washing machine. At the end of the speech, Mick does the ‘bang bang’ taunt before heading back down.

Ric Flair made his way out next to pay tribute to WWE's fallen superstars. A video package rolled showcasing Andre the Giant, Joey Morella, Gorilla Monsoon, Rick Rude, Owen Hart, Yokozuna, and Davey Boy Smith.

Give Me the Mic Award: Chris Jericho came on stage to present this award. He didn’t give out the names of the nominees because he felt that it was him who won the award. Jericho opened the envelope and announced the winner.

Good enough it wasn’t him. The winner of the award was The Rock. Jericho started throwing a fit but the Rock then appeared on the big screen to accept the award. The fans didn’t seem to like The Rock appearing on screen as they just bombarded him with boos. Guess he is gonna be a heel when he comes back eh?

“Shut Up and Kiss Me” Award: The award will go to the best couple or best kiss on Raw. Tazz came out to present this award.

Nominees

- Mark Henry and Mae Young

- Chyna and Eddie Guerrero

- Vince McMahon and William Regal with the Kiss My Ass Club segment

- Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.

The winner was Triple H and Stephanie McMahon who both went to the stage to accept the award. Stephanie said where else can you get drugged up at your own wedding, marry a loser, fake a pregnancy, get divorced and then make a comeback to head up the greatest wrestling show on TV today, SmackDown!. Triple H proposed they give each other a kiss just for old time's sake and when Stephanie closed her eyes, H dropped his trousers and mooned Steph who cracked H's ass with a hard smack.

Network Difficulties Award: Mean Gene Okerlund and Pat Patterson came out to present the award, which was for the segment on Raw that gave the networks the biggest headache.

Nominees

- Steve Austin

- HBK

- Undertaker

The winner was Stone Cold Steve Austin and his music played throughout the place. The crowd was expecting for Austin but Vince was the one who got the award and gave a brief speech. He said the reason Austin was not here, is because Austin was not invited.

Raw's Greatest Match: Shawn Michaels came on stage to present the next award. He said that he shared a lot of great matches in his time and a few of them included on RAW. He then introduced the nominees for the award.

The winner was the 2002 TLC match. All the participants from the match came onstage to accept the award, with Jericho and Christian boasting about themselves until Kane interrupted and said the award was very special to all of them. Bubba Ray spoke up and said the award was for all the guys who paved the way for TLC matches. Everyone onstage exited except Rob Van Dam, who said everyone needed to thank their favorite superstar, and his….R-V-D.

Edge invites all the WWE superstars onstage so they can collectively thank all of us, the fans, for making everything possible. After that was done, King and Cole thanked us for watching and the show signed off.

Date: January 14, 2003

Time: 12:00 PM

Location: Mc Donalds fast food joint at New Jersey.

We see Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi eating at the fast food chain known as Mc Donald's. It seems like this is their lunch stop before going for the SmackDown taping.

Scotty: Know what man, its been actually a new year here in the WWE.

Rikishi: Your telling me. Now the management go and tell everybody that the SmackDown! taping will only tape SmackDown! And you know what that means, Velocity will be taped on Thursday instead of the same day with SmackDown!

Scotty: What a drag, I guess Vince is trying to let us work twice a week like we did before the draft. Man and I thought the drafts purpose was to let us all work once a week. Oh well man I just heard from the Sarge that I will be booked in two matches. I will not only tag with you in a match but I will be in te 4 man elimination for the cruiserweight contendership. It seems like that kid Paul London was scheduled to do his Japanese priority tonight. Total bummer, why did he not tell them earlier you know?

Rikishi: Yeah total bummer man. So have you heard that Austin is gonna return to the WWE?

Scotty: Yeah there are rumors but sources close to Vince told me that it is not yet clear wheter or not Steve will return. So we might not know if it is fact or fiction. I guess we better hurry up eating here to be in time for the early pre-taping meeting we are having.

The scene fades as both men continue to eat and discontinue their conversation.

Date: January 15, 2003

Time: 5 PM

Location: The Williams Residence. Austin Texas

The black car stops infront of the driveway of the house and a man steps out of the vehicle. With his 10x resistol hat in tow, the man knocks on the front door. The man knocking on the door is one half of RAW’s announcing team, Jim Ross. The door opens and the man who greets him is none other than Steve Austin himself.

Austin: Never knew you had the balls to actually come here and grab a few drinks. Weren’t you supposed to be at that award and hostin it?

Ross: And weren’t you supposed to be there as well Steve? I had my reasons and that was to make my way in here. I drove all the way from Cincinnati to come here today Steve. I just hope we can have our talk about your contract with the company while were drinkin.

Austin: Damn straight we will, JR. So come on inside the house my friend. I just got me a new grill set up for tonight. I do have a couple of more guests to come by here by 8.

JR and Austin enter the house and heads to the backyard. There both men do a toast before chuggin a beer bottle.

Ross: So Steve, Mr. McMahon has agreed to the terms you told him and Eric last Saturday. I hope that is good news for both parties.

Austin: Sounds good to me. Infact I’d be willing to sign a new contract since the current contract I am sitting on will expire this May. I hope that is ok with you.

Ross: I think we can arrange that somewhere between this month and next month Steve. So you don’t have to worry about that one right now. There is one condition that Mr. McMahon wants to add in the terms if you want to stop sitting out of your contract though. You have to do a program with RAW’s heavyweight champion.

Austin: I have to do a program with Paul? Hell that aint a problem.

Ross: You have to job to him at Wrestlemania

Austin: Damn sure is a problem right now JR. I mean, I just made my return and you guys want me to job at WM 19?!

Ross: You see Austin, The Rock has no plans to make a return to RAW and he instead wants to do a program on SmackDown! You are the only option we got for the RAW title picture.

Austin: I don’t agree to those terms that easy. Tell McMahon he better give me the full details of this program or I wont be signing the contract by Friday. Hell…I wont be even be returning for The Rumble infact! You’re my friend JR, but I don’t want him to use you like some sort of ambassador of peace between me the WWE.

Ross: I understand that Steve. I’ll see to it that Vince will get your response.

Austin: Glad to hear that ol friend. So you wanna stay a couple of hours before the boys come here? You can join us on the BBQ for tonight.

Ross: Sorry Steve. I still got some other person to get in touch with today.

Jim Ross silently leaves the backyard and heads for his car. Inside the car, he picks up his cellphone and calls up someone.

Ross: Vince? This is JR. Austin wants the full scope of the storyline before he plans on returning to the WWE. I see…I’ll get the copy of the proposal and fax it to him tomorrow. So, what happened between you and Terry? He agreed on the deal? That’s good news Mr. McMahon. Well I am off to my house now. Bye.

He hangs up the phone and drives off to his house.
