putting the E back in WWE

[craig]

The WWE has started what many people had called the Dark Ages with JBL winning the WWE Title.

As well documented Vince McMahon was ill and on strong medication, however on June 29th Vince took a turn for the worst and died suddenly at home.

Later that day it was announced Vince died of a heart attack as a results of stress, as soon as Linda McMahon heard this she put the WWE up for sell,

And that’s where we start a Young Millionaire Wrestler from the UK called David Parak put a $65,000,000 offer and was accepted straight away.

July 1st was a memorial show for Vince and was the last show ran by the McMahon’s as the 4 McMahon’s took a 2 months LOA, David Parak arrived at WWE headquarters on July 2nd and the new era of the WWE begins today

WZ.com: Well with so many people leaving the company surly you need some new talent.?

DP: You are right, and you see I done some research of what the fans want, and they want fast paced pure entertaining wrestling, so I went straight to the Indy’s, and got talent that before would never have a chance in hell of getting to the WWE

WZ.com: Would you like to tell us who these talent are?

DP: Certainly, they are the best talent in the indy scenes, the lights of the Briscoe’s from ROH, and CM Punk and Colt Cabana, also you can’t forget the guys from NWA: TNA

WZ.com: What do you mean by that

DP: Well I know TNA is competition, really you would be a idiot not to, but in any battle for the number one spot, there are always underhand tactics, and I have made a number of offers to TNA superstars

DP: A exciting product, one that is shocking, unpredictable, but has some great action, and great entertainment.

WZ.com: Well we have heard Vengeance has been postponed for a week, why is that?

DP: Simple, with the new WWE, All storylines, feuds ended and there is a new start, with the McMahon’s taking the next 2 months off, we had no Main Event and I need more than 6 days to build a great card, so we have two weeks now to make a good card worth seeing

WZ.com: Well what can we except to see at Vengeance?

DP: The single best PPV the WWE have had in years, and all I am going to say, is History will repeat itself

DP: Yes infact, the 1 sole man behind it will be fired, pubically on Monday Night Raw, they don’t know, know one else does, untill it happens

Ok well i have posted a show so can people plz give me feedback

[thuganomic]

1. Don't bump. People will give feedback when they want to.

2. Honestly, there's really nothing that stands out about your show. The Cena rap was horrible, way too short, and not at all funny. Your matches are just ok at best, but the main problem I have with this diary is the formatting. The quote functions are just way too annoying, and the color scheme is horrible.

3. There was no explanation for the firings, nor was their any explanation to Funaki being on Raw. Why were Velocity and Heat scrapped? Becaues you were too lazy to write them? Not a good excuse.

This diary needs a lot of work, and judging from the first show, that work won't come early.

[craig]

Funaki was on Raw coz the roster split was ended, which is says if you read it,

The rap, so what i can't rap, big deal.

The firings was explained, its coz new ownership new way things are being run.

Heat and Velocity was scrappedcoz of management Issuses also the fact the shows are crap and i wanted 2 get rid of the side of the rubbish inhe WWE

[Guest Azrael]

At the moment this diary just doesn't do it for me, feels like your backstory was a little too short and basic, Vince dies and Linda suddenly decides to sell the WWE rather than leave it to Shane, Steph and HHH? Just didn't make sense to me but then i'm a stickler for realism in Diaries.

The show did have some good points in it, like the reunion of The World's Greatest Tag Team, the feud between John Cena and Evolution, Bobby Heenan as the new General Manager of RAW and John "White Power" Layfields loss of both his title and his job. However i agree with Thuganomic, the set up and format for the show was horrible to read, there were loads of typos as well, but everybody makes mistakes, maybe just proof reading it before posting the next one would be an idea?

Seams sad to say but the negative in this diary outweighs the positive at the moment, but its only just the beginning so i'm gunna stick around and see how things turn out

Thats just my opinion dude, take from it what you will

[craig]

Heenan: I’m not only running the show, little man, but I’m running the whole company

did everyone miss that line or something???

[thuganomic]

It's sort of easy to miss that line, because

1) It hurts my head to read your diary, and my mind wanders

2) There was nothing to emphasize that one line. If it was really important, perhaps you should have at least bolded it.

You wanted feedback, you got feedback. It's not "OMG~!~! THIS DIARY ROX~!!~", so you're choosing to ignore it, and rather badly at that.

You can't just say "No management, so we're going to fire all the people I don't like." Well, you can say that, but that turns most people off to a diary immediately.

Also, work on your grammar and spelling. It's horrible.

It's not really the spelling that's the problem...it's the fact that your knowledge of the English language is elementary, at best. For example, it must be horribly distracting for Ron Killings to have four guys thinking outside of the ring...

The lack of thought put into this diary has really hurt it, and your constant shut-downs of our criticism isn't helping your standing either.

[Guest Azrael]

We're just trying to point out things we think (as readers and maybe even fans one day) that we think are flawed dude, Gabriels right though, some of those sentances made me cringe, and i'm the absolute worst speller in history (btw did i spell that right?) but if this is a step in the right direction from your other diarys man they must have been horrible! Like i said, and like i try and tell myself when i'm writing something, read through it once your done and try and read what it says, rather than what you think it does, comes sometimes i've missed things because i thought it read one way but was actually completely the wrong thing.

Again its just my opinion, take from it what you will

[craig]

i listen to all ya comments, coz EWB is the only place that eva says the bad points about my diary's but everything about this diary is better than any of my others, anyway i hope SD to be up soon

Congratulations. Although it makes me sick to imagine what your earlier diaries were like.

Just because it's better than crap, doesn't mean it's still not crap. I hope to see SD with improvements.

[TGC]

Don't bitch at those reading your diary it makes you look foolish. Take the criticsm to heart and work to improve your diary.

We don't care what you did in the past and how badly it blew ass, we care about how badly your current diary blows ass, so quit using the "It's better than the last ones I did" excuse.

Merge a useless post together with another useless post please. There's no need to have six posts in a row that say little to nothing when you could have done it all in one.
