Should be great. Intresting that you threw the draft in there right after 'Mania. Also, hopefully you move some big names (ex - Shawn Michaels to Smackdown)

Monday, Week 1, April 2008Raw opens up as the camera circles the arena and J.R & King welcome everyone to the show and talks about the draft. He also mentions that tonight’s main event is HBK VS JBL. Plus Ric Flair will address the fans for the very last time. Suddenly Randy Orton’s music begins to play and Orton makes his way out from the back. Gold fireworks, confetti and balloons all begin to be released as Orton goes towards the ring.
Orton: As you can see I am still the WWE Champion. I overcame both John Cena & Triple H and walked out still WWE Champion. Nobody thought I would be standing here with this title but yet here I am. It’s not a mirage its destiny. I overcame everybody that came at me and now here I stand in the Age of Orton!
Suddenly he is interrupted by the music of Triple H.
Triple H: Randy congratulations. You did do the unthinkable; you did retain the WWE Title last night at Wrestlemania. However there is one thing you didn’t do. Last night you got the 1…2…3 on John Cena and so I never got beat. I came out here to demand that I get my rematch that I deserve. I’ve been waiting too long to sit on my throne that I am not going to let it slip by because Cena got beat. Randy, me V you at Backlash!
Before Orton cane respond, John Cena makes his way out.
Cena: Now I am not going to stand here and give excuses. Last night I got beat. Triple H you did hit the finishing blow on me and Orton you did get the 1.2.3 on me. However I gave it my all and came back with nothing. So Randy I may not be near the top of the list for a shot but I will do damn near anything to make it. I will step through hell to get my rematch and I’ll do it right here, right now if I have to.
Cena goes to take his shirt off when William Regal makes his way out.
Regal: Gentleman please, please calm down. Now it is not up to any of you three about who is no.1 contender, it’s up to me. Now neither one of you will be doing anything tonight because I have given you all the night off. After last night triple threat I feel you all deserve a rest. However next week on Raw Cena & Triple H you can begin to prove yourselves worthy of a shot. Plus next week you will be joined by Raw’s newest member and the first man to be drafted here tonight!
The titantron screen begins showing random superstars who flash across the screen quickly. It finally begins to slow down as the fans anticipate the newest Raw superstar. Finally it stops as the fans give out a huge cheer. I Walk Alone by Saliva begins to play as Batista makes his way out from the back. Orton, Cena & Triple H cannot believe it as they look stunned. Batista gets into the ring and taunts on the turnbuckle before turning to John Cena. Cena shakes hands with Batista and just leaves the ring without a word. Batista then turns to Randy Orton who doesn’t even wait for a handshake before leaving the ring and getting away from Batista. It then turns to Triple H & Batista who stare eye to eye at each other. Triple H gives a forced smile before patting Batista on the back and saying Welcome to Raw!Rating: AA video package for Ric Flair begins to play going over Ric Flairs career in the AWA.Opening Match, Single Match – The Big Show VS Chuck PalumboThis was nothing more than a squash. Big Show went straight through Palumbo. Palumbo did try to hit a big boot half way through the match but Show hardly budged. Show then blocked another big boot and hit the Chokeslam. 1…2…3!
After the match Big Show stood tall. Suddenly the titantron turned back to the superstar pictures. This time it had SD at the top as it picked a new Smackdown superstar. It flicked through quite a lot and then finally stopped on a big picture. Suddenly Umaga made his way out from the back. Umaga got into the ring and stood in front of Big Show. Both men stood face to face until Umaga began to scream at Show. Show laughed a little but slowly backed away. AS he walked up the ramp he turned back to Umaga and lifted a finger to point at him before doing the cut throat taunt.Big Show defeated Chuck Palumbo by pinfall with a Chokeslam.Rating: B-Backstage a few superstars are hanging out waiting to see if they get drafted. Suddenly the superstar screen shows up again this time for ECW. Its goes through a load of superstars before stopping at a very cool picture. Carlito stares up at a TV screen and spits out his drink on Santino Marella. Carlito can’t believe it as he sees his picture telling him he is moving to ECW, Carlito begins yelling at everyone and saying that he is not going to ECW. Santino tries to calm him down a bit but Carlito throws his drink on the floor and storms out.Rating: C+ Tag Team Match – Cryme Tyme VS Deuce ‘N’ DominoCryme Tyme made their long awaited return to Monday Night Raw as they faced Smackdown’s D & D. Cryme Tyme got a huge response from the crowd. D & D tried their best but for the majority of the match they were being taken down by Shad. Then JTG got the tag in after a while but this let D & D come back. This lasted only a few moments before Shad was in and Cryme Tyme quickly hit the G9 while the ref was distracted. 1…2…3! Cryme Tyme defeated Deuce 'n' Domino when JTG defeated Domino by pinfall with a G9.Rating: CA video package for Ric Flair begins to play going over Ric Flairs career in the NWA.The titantron once again turns to the draft screen, this time picking for Raw. The pictures go past and it finally stops at Elijah Burke. The screen then goes to Burke standing in Vince McMahons office with a big smile on his face. Burke tells Vince now that the Guiding Light was on Raw, Raw was going to get one hell of an Experience. Chris Jericho is standing just beside Burke and looks ill. Jericho laughs at the fact that Burke is in the big leagues on Raw. Burke says that Jericho will surely feel The Experience when he is taking the Intercontinental Title from him. Jericho puts on a fake scared look before telling Burke he better watch himself before he feels the Jericho experience. Jericho then leaves the room as Vince looks on a little interested in this confrontation. Suddenly Finlay bursts in and begins yelling at Vince. Vince stops him and says that he will not be spoken to by him or anyone for that matter. Vince goes to book Finlay in a match as Burke whispers into his ear. Vince smiles and tells Finlay he has a match against Shelton Benjamin right now.Rating: C+Single Match – Finlay VS Shelton BenjaminThis match was quite a good match that was given some good time. Finlay worked well with Benjamin and the crowd was quite into it. Finlay tried to use a bit of mat wrestling but Benjamin was too quick for him. Benjamin rolled out of everything and when the time was right he struck. Benjamin beat down on Finlay quite hard. Finally at the end of the match Benjamin missed a Shelton Splash and as he turned around he got caught by a Celtic Cross. 1…2…3!
After the match Finlay went to he back. Just as Benjamin went to leave the draft screens pops back up on the titantron, this time for ECW. Its goes through everyone once again and finally stops at a very familiar person for Benjamin. Charlie Hass walks out from the back to the surprise of Shelton. Hass gets into the ring and hugs Benjamin who doesn’t really hug back. Hass then sticks out his hand to Benjamin who slowly accepts it. Just as they are about to shake Hass kicks Benjamin in the midsection and hits a suplex before locking in the Hass of Pain. After a few seconds of pressure Hass lets go of the hold and walks to the back. Finlay defeated Shelton Benjamin in 8:23 by pinfall with a Celtic Cross.Rating: B-A video package for Ric Flair begins to play going over Ric Flairs career in WCW. Single Match – Matt Hardy VS John MorrisonAn amazing match. Both men gave it their all and really impressed. Matt Hardy in his first match since his injury and looked great. Morrison came out without the Miz and actually did not use many dirty tactics. It was just an all out wrestling match which showed both of their skill. In the end of the match the referee was out cold after Morrison accidently kicked him in the face when Hardy moved. Matt has Morrison set up for the Twist of Fate but Morrison fights it. He then pushes Hardy away into the ropes when out of nowhere MVP jumps up onto the apron. MVP blasts Hardy in the face with the U.S Title knocking back. Morrison grabs him before he falls and quickly hits his Corkscrew Neckbreaker while MVP rolls the referee back into the ring. The ref finally sees Morrison over Hardy and counts very slowly. 1…….2……..3!
After the match MVP gets into the ring and taunts over Hardy’s body before slapping him right in the face. The draft screen shows up once again and this time for Smackdown. MVP looks up as it goes through all the superstars. Finally it slows down and stops right on Mr. Money in the Bank. CM Punk runs out from the back and right into the ring scaring off MVP and John Morrison. John Morrison defeated Matt Hardy by pinfall following interference from Montel Vontavious Porter.Rating: ABackstage The Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels is sitting in a room by himself. HBK looks a little distant but he stares up at the camera.
HBK: Last night I did something I will regret for the rest of my life. I stepped up and I ended the career of one of the greatest of all time. Last night will haunt me for the rest of my life and so tonight I say sorry to Ric Flair and every person in the world. I hate what I did to Flair last night however it had to be done by someone, unfortunately that someone was me. However time cannot stop, it keeps ticking forward and as much as I would love to stop the clock right here before Flair leaves forever it can’t be done. Instead tonight I go head to head with JBL and I promise to make it up to everyone when I am kicking JBL’s teeth down his throat.Rating: B+Fatal Four Way Match – Colin Delaney VS Jamie Noble VS Tommy Dreamer VS SnitskyIf Colin wins this match then he will be chosen as ECW’s next draft pick and be awarded a WWE contract. The match was pretty much dominated by Snitsky to begin with. Dreamer tried to help Colin as best as he could and told him to stay away from the fighting. However after Snitsky went through both Noble & Dreamer he began beating down on Colin. In the end Snitsky took down Colin with a huge Big Boot. However Dreamer & Noble both took Snitsky over the top rope followed by Noble throwing Dreamer out. Noble then covered Colin for the 1…2…3!
After the match the draft picked a final superstar for ECW. This time the picture ended up landing on Jamie Noble. Noble looked shocked at first but then smiled and celebrated his move to ECW.Jamie Noble defeated Colin Delaney, Tommy Dreamer and Snitsky when Jamie Noble defeated Colin Delaney by pinfall.Rating: C+A video package for Ric Flair begins to play going over Ric Flairs career in WWE/F.In the ring Edge comes out and looks angry. He says that he should still be World Heavyweight Champion and he should have been the man to end The Undertaker’s streak. However he says he is calm and instead of hurting people and doing anything he feels like he is going to let Teddy Long come out and announce him as the new No.1 Contender for the Heavyweight Title.
Suddenly the draft screen shows up again. Edge looks pissed as it circles through the superstars. As it slows down Edge begins shouting that it doesn’t matter who it is nobody is taking his title shot away from him. Finally the screen stops but instead of going to a picture the screen goes black.
MRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. KENNEDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Kennedy comes out from the back and into the ring. He tells Edge that he can welcome the newest addition and soon to be World Champion to the Smackdown Roster. Edge gets angry and tells him he will never overtake him. He will face The Undertaker and he will regain his World Title and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it.
It seems the draft is not over as the screen appears once again this time choosing a superstar for Raw. It goes through everyone and then slowly stops on the Rated R Superstar. Edge cannot believe it as he stares up at his picture on the titantron saying that he is now on Raw. Mr. Kennedy then gets on the microphone and yells that there is a new No.1 Contender for the World /Heavyweight Title and his name is MRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. KENNEDY…………..
KENNEDY!!!!!!!!!!
Edge falls to his knees and looks like his about to cry as Kennedy leaves the ring.
Rating: B+Tag Team Match – Beth Phoenix & Melina VS Victoria & Michelle McCoolThe match was alright but was very short and not a lot happened. Beth & Melina mainly dominated Michelle early on. After a while Victoria finally got the tag and cleaned house. In the end though Beth broke free of a Widows Peak and hit a Fisherman Suplex Slam. 1…2…3!
After the match it was announced that tomorrow night on ECW each brand would get another draft pick and this time it was only from the Diva roster. Beth Phoenix and Melina defeated Victoria and Michelle McCool when Beth Phoenix defeated Victoria by pinfall with a Fisherman Suplex.Rating: C+Before the next match began, JBL got on the microphone. JBL told Shawn Michaels that he needs to stop whining like a little girl and be a man. Last night HBK did the best thing his done his whole career. Ric Flair deserved to be taken out and it’s just too bad that he didn’t get to do it himself. He said that tonight he better clear his head of Ric Flair though because his got bigger things to worry about like him becoming old yeller as well and JBL taking him behind the shed to put him out of his misery. HBK came out straight after this comment and did not look happy. He didn’t stop for his pyro as he ran into the ring and began fighting JBL.Single Match – Shawn Michaels VS JBLThis was quite a good match. Both men did a great job. The fans were fully behind HBK and booed JBL like crazy. HBK dominated early on and after some seriously hard shots to JBL he backed off a little bit before being DQed. This caused JBL to rest just enough to come back and kick HBK right in the head. JBL began beating down on the Showstopper after this and did not quit. He just kept at him and every time HBK tried to fight back JBL would just overpower him. Suddenly after a while HBK fought back and took down JBL. He then hit an elbow drop from the top rope. He went to hit some Sweet Chin Music but JBL ducked and came out of nowhere with a Clothesline From Hell. 1…2…Kick Out! JBL could not believe it as he began arguing with the referee. He then turned around to continue punishing HBK when out of nowhere came some Sweet Chin Music. However instead of going for the pin HBK grabbed JBL by the legs. He locked JBL in his modified Figure Four as JBL screamed in pain. After a little while JBL could not withstand the pain and tapped out!
After the match HBK celebrated his victory as JBL went to the back. Shawn Michaels defeated John Bradshaw Layfield by pinfall with a Modified Figure Four.Rating: B+A video package for Ric Flair begins to play going over The Hall of Fame & his final match against Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania.Finally the time had come. Ric Flair walked out from the back to a standing ovation. Flair instantly had tears come to his eyes as he walked down the ramp. Flair tried to talk on the microphone b the crowd would not stop their chants. Finally Flair began to speak and told everybody that the last 35 years has been the greatest time of his life and he thanks every wrestler he has ever met and every wrestling fan for supporting him through everything. He says thank you and that he loves everyone before saying that he may not be able to wrestle but he will always be the Limousine Riding, Jet Flying, Kiss Stealing, Wheeling dealing, son of a gun. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After his final Wooo the WWE roster began walking out from the back. Every man from all three brands including backstage staff and some unknown people in masks stood around the ring and up the entrance ramp. They all began clapping for Flair and chanting Thank You Ric along with the WWE Fans. Flair tried to hold it back but tears poured out of his eyes as he stared around the arena. People began bowing down at the Nature Boy. Flair then left the ring and walked all the way around shaking hands, hugging and saying thank you. He then went up the entrance ramp as more people began bowing him on his way up. Once at the top Flair took one look back and doing a quick last strut up and down before holding up his arms and leaving.
Raw comes to an end as the whole WWE roster continue a Thank you Ric chant. The camera then zooms out on the whole arena before fading out to darkness.Rating: AFinal Rating: B-Quick Results:- The Big Show def. Chuck Palumbo

RAW was really good. The opening segment with Orton was good. The draft picks were good choices. Batista to RAW is great because I'm sick of him on SmackDown. Same with Umaga to SmackDown. I feel ECW should have got a bigger name superstar. But I suppose you're gonna bring new talent in, which is always good. Edge/Kennedy will be great. The Flair farewell was awesome. Looking forward to ECW and the women's draft.

Raw was great. All the draft picks were perfect. I was waiting for a major one at the end like Shawn to Smackdown or even twist the rules abit with Flair to smakdown making him a GM. The Haas/Benj part was written very well and should be a good feud with some great matches. Weried putting Noble on ECW but it should work. The ending of the joining between SD/ECW is bad in my opinon as ECW can't really stand up by them selves look at their top face a monster called Kane. Just hope now with his recent draft mr. Kennedy gets pushed.
Keep it up

Raw was great, infact my only negitive comment I can give is that I wish you [ size=1 ] Raw so that it was eaiser to read. But I finished it eventually. Another thing that semi-confused me was the draft, I got where a few people landed but can you post where everyone is now? hehe. But lets move on to the feedback for now.
The opeing segment was great, the first draft being Batista to Raw was awesome, I am finally getting in to Batista and a new brand for him would work. You can only face Mark Henry, Big Daddy V and The Undertaker so many times.
The opening match seemed good enough, slightly random but it worked, nice to see Big Show get the win, didn't expect Palumbo to win here. I hope Big Show gets an eventual push. Draft time again and yay, Umaga is going to Smackdown, that is great news, Umaga/The Undertaker for the win please.
Haha, the next segment actually made me laugh with Carlito spitting in Santino's face in shock, nice to see Carlito go to ECW, can't see him being a contender for the title how ever with Kane as the World Champion. In saying that, don't take the title of Kane. =)
Cryme Tyme is back, yay. I love these guys, glad you brought them back, please put the Raw tag team gold on them. Seemed like an alright match, nothing really to comment on about it.
The next segment was nicely written, nice to see Elijah Burke end up on Raw, Burke vs Jericho would be amazing in my opinion so I am glad you seem to be going with that. haha at Burke choosing Benjamin to face Finlay and not himself. Finlay vs Shelton sounds like a great match to be honest.
As I expected the match seemed great, not bothered by who got the win so I am happy Finlay did. Both men are easily contenders for the ECW title but a Heel Finlay run would be great with it. Make it happen please. Haas to ECW is cool, the attack on Benjamin was completly unexpected, if anything I expected Shelton to attack Haas. Great how ever that they seem to be feuding now.
Morrison vs M.Hardy sounds like an awesome match, once again, I didn't really mind who got the win but I am surprised you didn't give the win to Matt seeing as it was his return match. MVP coming down after the bell was nice, and the next draft being CM Punk to Smackdown is cool, he needs to get of ECW in my opinion now that he has the briefcase. Will be cool to see how long it is before he cashes in and wether or not he wins the match.
The fatal four way seemed a bit random with Snitsky being in it but I didn't really mind, Collin not getting a contract is disapointing but I am sure he will still be used, Noble getting the win is great in my opinion and I hope he is used like this in the future. Noble ending up on ECW is great as well, midcard feud with Kofi Kingston please.
The next segment was f**king fantastic, was nicely written out. Nice to see Kennedy back on Smackdown, he really was better of their in the first place, Edge going to Raw was a shocker, but I feel Smackdown is losing all their main eventers now.
The divas match seemed good enough how ever I don't understand why you used Victoria since she is a heel. That was slightly of but apart from that, the match seemed like an average diva's match. Nice to see another draft to take place on ECW.
Main Event time with JBL vs Shawn Michaels, sounds like a great match in my opinion. Nice to see Shawn get the win, I hope he gets a title push soon, he deserves another one. I liked him winning with the Sharp Shooter Figure Four Lock thing, I can see him using it alot more in the future.
The show ending with Flair was great, just like in real life, shame you didn't go in to more detail about it but I can't really complain about that. I can only expect old friends of Ric came down to the ring and what not. Shame he is now retired, I hope you bring him back as a GM in the future, that would be amazing in my opinion.

Tuesday, Week 1, April 2008ECW opens up with Carlito coming to the ring. Carlito gets on the microphone and says that he hates that he got drafted to ECW. ECW is for people that aren’t cool and Carlito just does not fit. Carlito says that he is way too cool to be here and is demanding that Armando gives his contract to Smackdown or Raw. Armando comes out and tells Carlito that he is not about to lose any superstars to the other brands and so he had better get used to ECW. However he will give him something else. He will give him a chance to face Kane at Backlash. He says Chavo Guerrero did not have a rematch clause in his contract and after his performance at Wrestlemania he doesn’t even deserve another chance for the belt. Instead tonight we will see Carlito VS John Morrison VS The Miz VS Tommy Dreamer with the winner facing Kane for the ECW World Title at Backlash.The draft screen appears on the titantron this time only the Diva pictures come up. It ends up choosing Ashley to go to Smackdown.Opening Match, Single Match – Kofi Kingston VS Colin DelaneyColin gets another chance for a contract and this time he had to be the Jamaican superstar Kofi Kingston. Colin tried his best and got a little offense in now and then but Kofi was too much for the rookie. Kofi hit his Jamaican Buzzsaw out of nowhere 1…2…3!
After the match Chavo Guerrero came out. He said that he should not have lost the ECW Title. Kane cheated when he attacked him from behind. However since he has to prove himself all over again, what better place to start then with the First Jamaican superstar. Chavo gets into the ring and is about to hit Kofi with the microphone when Kofi comes out of nowhere with a kick to the face knocking Chavo onto the mat and under the ropes. Kofi taunts in the ring while Chavo walks away up the ramp. Kofi Kingston defeated Colin Delaney by pinfall with a Jamaican Buzzsaw.The draft screen pops up again this time for ECW. It goes through and ends up picking Eve to go to ECW. Triple Threat Match – Jamie Noble VS CM Punk VS Elijah BurkeAll three men did a really good job during this match. Burke was priority one as Punk & Noble double teamed him. Once he was out of the ring Noble & Punk went at it for a little bit. Later on Burke would be on top as threw Punk to the outside and took down Noble. He then went for the Elijah Express but Noble moved out of the way. Noble then went to hit his Fireman's carry Double Knee Gutbuster but CM Punk attacked him from behind. He kick Noble to the floor and under the ropes and then went over to Burke. He lifted him onto his shoulders and then hit the Go 2 Sleep. 1…2…3! CM Punk defeated Jamie Noble and Elijah Burke when CM Punk defeated Elijah Burke by pinfall with a Go to Sleep.The draft screen shows up for the 3rd and final time tonight, this time choosing a Diva for Raw. After going through the selection it stops at Victoria. Victoria is shown backstage who warns Beth Phoenix because Victoria is hungry for Championship Gold.The camera goes to Charlie Hass & Shelton Benjamin backstage. Hass tells Benjamin that Shelton left him by himself on Raw when he came to ECW. He thought he was too good for the World’s Greatest Tag Team and that he would become some big shot on ECW. Hass says that Benjamin is still a nobody and that without Hass by his side he will never hold a title belt around his waist again. Benjamin speaks up and tells Hass that when he was drafted to Raw a few years ago he was doing great. He defeated Triple H not once but three times, he held the Intercontinental title for a very long time and was one of the greatest athletes to ever be in the ring. He said while that was going on Hass was stuck on Smackdown kissing his boyfriend. Hass gets a bit angrier and stands up to Benjamin. Both men look eye to eye before Hass just tells him to forget it, you aren’t worth it and walks off. Benjamin shakes his head and walks the opposite way.Fatal Four Way Match – ECW No.1 Contender – Carlito VS John Morrison VS The Miz VS Tommy DreamerThis was a really good match. All four men gave it their all. Morrison & Miz teamed up for most of the match and tried to take out Carlito & Dreamer. They would come back and take out the Tag Champs though and then turn to each other. Later on in the match Dreamer hit his Dreamer Driver on Carlito but The Miz broke it up. The Miz then tried to cover Carlito quickly but Morrison broke it up. Both men argued over who should win which led to both men hitting each other. Morrison then hit his neckbreaker and saw Dreamer out of the corner of his eye. He dropkicked Dreamer out of the ring and then went to pin Miz. Carlito came out of nowhere and hit Morrison with the Backstabber forcing Morrison to roll out of the ring. Carlito then covered The Miz. 1…2…3!
After the match Carlito celebrated his win when suddenly flames shot out from the ramp. Carlito stared up the ramp when suddenly Kane showed up from behind. Carlito turned around and was met with a huge chokeslam by the ECW Champion. Kane then stood tall in the ring as ECW came to an end. Carlito defeated The Miz, John Morrison and Tommy Dreamer when Carlito defeated The Miz by pinfall.Quick Results:- Kofi Kingston def. Colin Delaney
- CM Punk def. Jamie Noble & Elijah Burke
- Carlito def. John Morrison, The Miz & Tommy Dreamer

Tuesday, Week 1, April 2008
Industry NewsTed Turner is back in the world of wrestling. Ted Turner has taken over the small promotion the Heartland Wrestling Association. HWA has been affiliated with both WWE & WCW in the 90's and is a great small promotion to showcase new talent. It doesn't look like HWA & WWE will be forming any sort of relationship as Ted Turner had harsh words to say about Vince McMahon & WWE during a press conference.
Last night prior to ECW Ron Killings defeated Nunzio in a dark match. Killings did really well and it was said to be a very good match with Killings getting a good reaction from the crowd. |

ecw started off well. the promo with carlito is exactly what it needed to be and is a great way of getting carlito into the title picture.
ashley to smackdown is a good choice, now hopefully we can get the actual female wrestlers to raw and the useless divas to sd.
putting kofi over delaney is good stuff. puts kofi over, and the start of a feud between kofi and chavo is intriguing. and was pulled off nicely.
triple threats sounds fun as hell, so more good stuff there.
the wgtt segment was awesome. a feud between the two would be really interesting, they have such good chemistry as partners i have no doubt it's cross over to them as opponents.
the ending to the show was the perfect way to pay off the beginning. loved the finish of the show with kane standing tall over his kingdom hehe.
in fact a lot of the show was centered around the ecw title which puts the title over as the most important thing on the show. which it should always be. kudos for good booking.

ECW was awsome but the Benj/Haas feud really stole the show, I lol'ed at the Rico joke. But I thought that putting Kofi agianst Colin was a bad idea as it was two faces, you could have added and exta match with Colin. But it was a good build up to a Chavo/Kofi feud
Keep it up

Poor Colin  Good match, the Kofi/Chavo feud should be goood. The Diva draft thing doesnt really interest me, but Victoria going for the belt should be awesome. Haas and Benjamin segment was  ing awesome. I loved the Rico reference ;[ Carlito as No.1 contender is awesome, but shame he got owned by Kane Good show buddy, I'll keep reading. Reply to wWE 09? |

ECW was extremely well written. I'm glad Carlito got a chance at the ECW Champion at Backlash, I hope he wins it! Nice ending as well, this makes Kane look dominant but when it's said and done, I hope Carlito comes out the winner. Kofi squashing Delaney was expected, but I do like what you did after the match with Chavo. Kingston and Chavo could be a great match. Haas and Benjamin in the near future sounds promising definately, I like the scenario with it as well with Shelton wanting to be on his own.
