WWE RAW: Monday 14th September 2009...A decent opening promo to kick off the show, with John Cena explaining him beating Triple H last night. Good idea for Cena to be wanting a rematch against WWE Champion, Montel Vontavious Porter at No Mercy, but ending up with Triple H coming out. A nice idea for Triple H to have to face somebody to prove contention for the WWE Championship. I really dislike that MVP and Triple H was given away on live television however, with next to no hype or anticipation, and also opened up. You definately could have saved this for the main event scene, definately. Especially insulting that Triple H ended up beating MVP semi-cleanly. I just feel it could have been done alternatively. Would have been a great match between Mickie James and Beth Phoenix, Mickie winning is okay I suppose, a face needed to win to face the heel WWE Womens Champion, Katie-Lea Burchill afterall. A nice victory for Ted Dibiase against R-Truth up next, would have been a decent showing there, hopefully you do follow with Dibiase's master push and Legacy's rise to success on RAW. That tag team match between Elijah Burke and Ryan Braddock & Evan Bourne and Kaval sounded spectacular, but I still feel no love for Braddock as WWE Intercontinental Champion. Burke would make a better champion in my mind. Wow, chaotic main event for the World Tag Team Championships, and a match of this variation would have been amazing and realistic years ago, but it would be a really unappealing and weak main event nowadays, no matter what. The Cabinet, Jayson Paul and Shad Gaspard taking home the belts is good however, liked that JBL interfered, too. A great show overall, just not fond of some things.

RAW: Ok lets see what you've cooked this week. Triple Threat at No Mercy sounds cool as long as you book it right, MVP has to win. Cena and Triple H will take each other out, anyway decent sounding PPV main event. Triple H winning in a heelish way is great aswell. I like the simple promo with Bourne, I hope he regains the title at No Mercy or something. Mickie going over Beth is fine, but Beth needs to be treated better as in push her please. James vs Burchill sounds cool. Good decision to retire Bradshaw, Hoping its a triple threat match. R-Truth is meh, he'll be released soon. Putting DiBiase over is good, I could see MVP vs DiBiase at a future PPV. Batista vs Kane for No Mercy. Glad Burke wasn't pinned, Bourne vs Kaval vs Braddock has the odds stacked against Braddock since he's champ and Bourne since it Heel vs Heel vs Bourne, I could see a Kaval victory. Surprised we didn't see a post match altercation. Dunno about the tag match as the main event, it seems unrealistic but I don't care. Yes, Cryme Tyme with the victory, great decision to not have Legacy take the fall aswell. I wonder if it was Triple H? or was it Cena? very Intriguing.
Awesome RAW, best in a while, Can't wait for ECW.

ECW 9/15/09 Preview-Two nights ago, Kevin Thorn retained his ECW Championship in a Scramble match at almost the last possible second. Tyler Black had the match in hand and was nearing a late pinfall, but a timely low blow from Thorn allowed him to retain the gold. It's right back into the fire for Thorn who must defend his Title tonight, against the ECW Original, Tommy Dreamer. Can Dreamer become a two time ECW Champion? Or will Thorn's reign of terror continue? -Speaking of the ECW Title, Teddy Long already has a plan to determine who will challenge for the ECW Title at No Mercy. Tonight will be the start of ECW's Elimination Chase. Four superstars will face off in a Fatal Four Way tonight and whoever is pinned will be eliminated. The remaining three will meet next week in a Triple Threat match and then the final two in a singles match. The four Superstars to compete will be Mr. Kennedy, Matt Hardy, Tyler Black and Rey Mysterio! -The Brood has been one of the focal points of ECW as of late, and they have a new member. Paradox has joined the Diva ranks here in WWE and tonight we will witness her in ring debut as she goes one on one with former assistant to the General Manager, Tiffany! Tune into the Sci-Fi Network for all of this and more tonight at 9:00PM!

September 15th, 2009 Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire Attendance: 10,140
To start off, a video package shows ECW’s highlights at Unforgiven, which include Rey Mysterio’s victory over Jack Swagger, Kevin Thorn retaining the ECW Title and Matt Hardy turning heel by attacking Mr. Kennedy.Todd Grisham and Matt Striker welcome us to tonight’s stacked edition of ECW, which includes Tommy Dreamer challenging for ECW Championship and the beginning of an Elimination Chase to determine Kevin Thorn’s opponent for No Mercy.A new slower version of “Live for the Moment” hits as Matt Hardy makes his way to the ring to open ECW. The crowd boos him heavily as he gets a microphone. He mentions that he’s happy to be one of the focal points on ECW this week. He says that he hasn’t been given a chance to be relevant since he lost his ECW Title because the bookers on ECW seem to have forgotten about him. He asks how somebody can forget a guy who reigned as ECW Champion for nearly seven months. Matt Hardy brings up the draft and how once Mr. Kennedy got drafted here, he jumped over everybody to get an ECW Title shot. Despite failing twice, he was given a third title shot. Matt says that he was given one shot to regain his belt and nothing else since and it’s not fair how he’s treated. So now, he’s going to treat the ECW roster with the same lack of respect he’s been given by management. Commercial Break.
Divas Match Paradox w/ Television Champion Hade Vansen & Gangrel vs. Tiffany w/ Gavin SpearsParadox showed why she’s a former NWA Womens’ Champion and SHIMMER Champion. She dominated Tiffany with ease here and hit some very nice moves. She nailed her with a springboard moonsault that she calls Unhallowed Grace and a Rolling Cutter that she named the Call to the Grave. She ended it with a scissored DDT called the Desecrator. Winner: Paradox (4:42) **After the match, Vansen and Gangrel crawled into the ring and stalked Tiffany. Spears attempted to thwart them but the numbers advantage worked against him and he fell to Vansen’s Spike DDT. Paradox held Tiffany as the men crept closer, but the lights cut off. Everybody expected a bloodbath when they came back on, but instead, The Hurricane was perched on the top rope. He flew off and took out Vansen and Gangrel with a flying cross body. The Brood members backed out of the ring as Hurricane helped Spears and Tiffany to their feet.Commercial Break.Theodore Long is shown in his office, when Tommy Dreamer steps in and thanks him again for the opportunity to face Kevin Thorn tonight. Long tells him to go out there and win one for ECW. As Dreamer leaves, a Spanish looking man enters and introduces himself as Eric Escobar. He says that Long is looking at his next top superstar in ECW and he will prove it to the world when he debuts next week. Long tells him that he hopes he’s half as good as he’s making himself out to be, because it’ll be a good signing for ECW.
We now cut to Dolph Ziggler and The Miz in the back with Alicia Fox and Miranda Rodriguez. Rodriguez was watching a monitor and seemed to be interested in Escobar, while Miz and Ziggler are arguing about a rumor they heard that involves Dolph Ziggler getting traded away. Miz doesn’t like the idea of breaking up the team, but Ziggler thinks a trade will help his road to Superstardom.
Josh Matthews is shown in the back with Jack Swagger. He asks Swagger about losing to Rey Mysterio two nights ago. Swagger doesn’t take kindly to that and starts to insult Matthews and shoves him down. He then looks into the camera and promises to get revenge on Mysterio.Commercial Break.
Elimination Chase Fatal Four Way Matt Hardy vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Tyler BlackWith this being four of the top guys on ECW, this was a very good match. Kennedy and Matt went at each other viciously after Hardy’s attack on him at Unforgiven. That left Mysterio and Black to take the breath of the crowd away with some awesome high flying encounters. At one point, Black was set for the 619 but he dodged it and ended up catching Mysterio with a super kick. He followed that with the Buckle Bomb, yet just got a two count. Mysterio would later get a near fall on a top rope splash. Kennedy and Matt spilled to the outside where they brawled into the crowd. Inside, Mysterio nailed the 619 the second time around. Before he could continue, Jack Swagger made his way to the ring and attacked him. He followed it up with a Gutwrench Power Bomb. Matt Hardy returned to the ring after knocking Kennedy out with a steel chair, and saw Mysterio down, so he lifted him and connected with a Twist of Fate to end it. Winners: Matt Hardy, Mr. Kennedy & Tyler Black (11:41) ***½Matt celebrated like he just won the main event at WrestleMania, while Tyler Black began to get up on the outside, which is where he rolled to. Swagger celebrated as well at the top of the ramp by raising his arms.Commercial Break.
ECW Championship Kevin Thorn (c) w/ The Brood vs. Tommy DreamerDespite Dreamer not being the best worker, these two turned in a solid main event, although it wasn’t better than the previous match. Thorn held the early advantage, until Dreamer rallied behind the crowd. He fought valiantly and hit Thorn with the Dreamer Driver, yet only got a two. He then called for the Dreamer DDT, but Paradox got on the apron to distract the referee. Dreamer went to knock her off the apron, but Vansen slid in, nailed him in the back of the head with the TV Title and slid out. Thorn draped his arm over Dreamer but Tommy kicked out! Everybody was stunned, but it wouldn’t last long as Thorn put him away with the next move, the Original Sin. Winner and Still ECW Champion: Kevin Thorn (9:44) ***The Brood stood tall in the ring and celebrated their successful night as the show went off the air.© WWE 2009

ECW on SyFy: Tuesday 15th September 2009...Matt Hardy coming out to boos? Wow, I must have missed something, good promo to kick off the show, however, I am looking forward to a Matt Hardy vs Mr Kennedy feud, if that is going to be your target. Should be interesting how you do it, however, if you have Hardy/Kennedy at No Mercy, what will Kevin Thorn do? I do suppose two matches from the ECW brand to contribute to No Mercy is acceptable, however. Paradox I know next to nothing about, and will go almost nowhere on the ECW brand with little-to-no talents like Tiffany wandering around. Paradox winning is okay I suppose, I could see her moving onto SmackDown in their WWE Divas Championship division if this is the case. Ah, Eric Escobar debuting eh? I'm actually still yet to see much of this guy, but from what I hear he's somewhat special. Oh wow, Dolph Ziggler and The Miz's team being split up possibly? Don't do it, move them to SmackDown or even RAW to contribute to the tag team division. RAW's tag team division is the weaker, so maybe their would be best. Just don't let one of the two continue to end up squandering around on ECW's undercard division [bottom of the bottom], especially since The Miz was with John Morrison and a big tag team, now Morrison's doing something great and Miz is...here. I really hate that the Elimination Chase fatal-four-way match midcarded. Kevin Thorn vs Tommy Dreamer should have been here, especially since this match probably would have had to happen after Matt Hardy's opening promo, he would have spent five minutes out in the ring, then dissappeared for like fifteen minutes then to reappear in this match. I am not so much a fan of how you're appearing to use Tyler Black, as I hope you don't rush him into the ECW Championship division; I hope he's the next man eliminated from this competition. I did like Jack Swagger's interference on Rey Mysterio, just think their feud should have ended at Unforgiven. Decent win for ECW Champion, Kevin Thorn over Tommy Dreamer, but the aftermath showed nothing was really going on for him yet. That's why Thorn and Dreamer should have midcarded the show and the Elimination Chase main evented. Nontheless, was an entertaining show. Looking forward on the direction going into No Mercy still.

ECW: Can't wait for the championship chase, should be awesome, I really don't know who will be eliminated. Awesome opening promo from Matt, I love the theme he's a belivable heel. Freaking hell, womens match on ECW? cool. Paradox would've destroyed Tiffany. Yes, The Hurricane! Saving ECW from Evil. Dreamer vs Thorn should be great, Esocbar is meh, he's ok but from what I've seen on SmackDown! not an amazing worker. Ah, My Favorite tag team Miziggler, hmm them spliting up is interesting, maybe a Ziggler singles push could be good. I hink Mysterio will be eliminated now and It will be Swagger's fault. Told ya, Mysterio's gone. I can see Black vs Thorn at No Mercy. I liked the Main Event, and the dirty finish but Thorn has to win cleanly sometime. Overall a good ECW, didn't enjoy it as much as RAW but I bet SmackDown! will be the best.

Smackdown 9/18/09 Preview-Last Sunday at Unforgiven, CM Punk retained his World Heavyweight Championship in a Scramble match. Now, the Champion must look forward to No Mercy and a new number one contender. The question on everybody's mind is, who will it be? Will it be Chris Jericho? Jeff Hardy? Edge? The Undertaker? CM Punk has promised that he will open the show and try to get to the bottom of the number one contender situation and I'm sure things will get interesting there. -Also as Unforgiven, Shelton Benjamin got what he wanted and that was a piece of the Undertaker. The only problem is that he bit off more than he could chew as the Deadman put him to rest. Or so we all thought. Benjamin has stated that he's not done with the Undertaker and he has something to say to him. Whatever he has to say will have to wait until after his match with Kofi Kingston. The Kingston/Benjamin rivalry from ECW back in 2008 is reborn for one night at least. -Last week on Smackdown, Vickie Guerrero announced that she has re-signed a former WWE Superstar who will be in her good graces much like Edge, Umaga, Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder and Chavo Guerrero have been. Stephanie McMahon has announced that she will hand pick the new Superstar's opponent for tonight. Who will Stephanie pick? Who is this returning WWE Superstar? Find out all of this and a lot more by tuning into MyNetwork TV tonight at 8:00PM!

September 18th, 2009 Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire Attendance: 10,140
Smackdown opens with a video package showcasing the events of Unforgiven. It starts with John Morrison capturing the United States Title, then goes to The Undertaker’s victory over Shelton Benjamin and ends with CM Punk retaining the World Heavyweight Title.[ALL SUPERSTARS' NAMES ARE STILL CLICKABLE AND WILL LINK YOU TO THEIR TITANTRON/THEME MUSIC]After the opening fireworks, Jim Ross and Tazz welcome us to the sold out Verizon Wireless Arena and another exciting edition of Friday Night Smackdown. They hype up tonight’s signed matches which include Shelton Benjamin taking on Kofi Kingston and the Divas Title being on the line when Gail Kim defends against Maryse.CM Punk’s theme hits as the World Heavyweight Champion comes down the aisle. He gets in the ring and talks about retaining the World Title last night against all odds. Just like he would have at last year’s Unforgiven had it not been for a punt kick to the head. He mentions that now that the Scramble match has passed he’s looking forward to his next Title defense. This brings out Chris Jericho. Jericho tells Punk that if anybody deserves to be the number one contender it’s him because he is after all, the last man to beat The Undertaker. He also holds more than one pinfall victory over CM Punk. Before he can go any further, Edge makes his way to the ring and tells Jericho that he’s out of his mind if he thinks he’s the number one contender. Edge reminds us all that it was Jericho that Punk pinned to win the Championship Scramble match. Jericho and Edge begin to trade insults until they are cut off by Stephanie McMahon and Vickie Guerrero. Stephanie says that as much as it pains her to admit, she feels that Edge is a deserving number one contender. After all, he was the last interim Champion in the Scramble match and was not pinned during the entire twenty minutes. So she and Vickie have agreed on it and at No Mercy CM Punk will defend the World Title against Edge! Vickie then announces that tonight’s main event will be Punk teaming with Jeff Hardy to take on Edge and Chris Jericho. Stephanie then says that if Jericho or Jeff gets the pin tonight, they will be added to the No Mercy main event, making it a Triple Threat match. Jericho and Edge stare at each other in disgust as we cut to commercial. Commercial Break.
Tag Team Match Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder vs. The Technicians w/ Kelly KellySmackdown’s newest tag team made their Friday night debut as the New Hart Foundation watched on commentary. The Technicians looked very good in there and worked as a well oiled machine. After some decent back and forth action, Haas made Hawkins tap out to the Haas of Pain to win. Winners: The Technicians (6:53) **½The Technicians stare down the WWE Tag Team Champions as we go to the back. In the back, we see Vickie Guerrero and Stephanie McMahon in their office. Carlito and Primo come in and Stephanie tells them that she’s glad they’re here. She tells Carlito that she’s handpicked him to face Vickie’s newest signing and that the match is next.Commercial Break.The cameras return to see Josh Matthews standing by with The Brian Kendrick. He asks Kendrick about his peculiar attitude last week and how he’s not the same The Brian Kendrick that we’re used to. Kendrick speaks in a very droning, sad voice saying that ever since he lost his United States Title, he’s been kind of lost and he’s just looking for something to spark him again. He walks off, sulking again.Singles Match Carlito w/ Primo vs. Chris MastersYes, Vickie Guerrero’s new acquisition turned out to be the Masterpiece himself. Carlito put up a good fight, but it was rather obvious how this would turn out. A few minutes in, Masters locked in the Masterlock and made Carlito tap out. Winner: Chris Masters (7:12) **½In the back, Vickie Guerrero is shown smiling and Stephanie McMahon is sitting next to her looking stressed out.Commercial Break.
Singles Match Kofi Kingston vs. Shelton BenjaminAs one would expect, this was a great match. Kofi had the upper hand early on, as Shelton seemed to be focused on other issues. Shelton quickly fixed that and began to take it to Kofi. The two stellar athletes went back and forth until Kingston missed Trouble in Paradise. That allowed Benjamin to catch him off guard and nail the Paydirt for the victory. Winner: Shelton Benjamin (10:41) ***¼After the match, Benjamin grabbed a microphone. He began to talk about losing at Unforgiven to The Undertaker. He said that he blew a big chance to make a huge impact, but it’s not his last chance. Shelton reminds us that after losing to Big Show at The Bash, people doubted his ability to beat the seven foot monster. But he went out at SummerSlam and beat Big Show in a Knockout match. That’s right; he beat him in his own match. So, Benjamin has issued a challenge and the General Managers have already agreed on it. At No Mercy, it will be Shelton Benjamin vs. The Undertaker in a Casket Match. He says that he promises to beat The Undertaker at his own game, just like he did to Big Show. Commercial Break.In the back, we see Edge in his locker room. Vickie Guerrero enters with Umaga, Chris Masters, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. Edge shakes Masters hand and Vickie says that with this core of Superstars together, there is very little that Stephanie McMahon can do to stop their reign over Smackdown.Divas Championship Gail Kim (c) vs. MaryseGail Kim carried this match for the most part as she’s the better worker. Maryse has improved greatly and looked very good in there tonight. Using underhanded tactics, she managed to take control near the end. Using hair pulling, tight pulling roll ups and eye rakes, she got a few near falls. Maryse set up for her French Kiss DDT, but Kim reversed it into a beautiful Northern Lights suplex but only got a near fall. When they got up, Kim struck quicker and nailed the Eat Defeat [inverted stomp facebreker] to end it. Winner and Still Divas Champion: Gail Kim (6:11) **Josh Matthews is now standing by with our brand new United States Champion, John Morrison. He asks Morrison if he plans on being the fighting Champion that Kofi Kingston was. Morrison replies by saying that he doesn’t want to be anything like Kofi Kingston. He wants to be a winner and he’ll reign as United States Champion the way he wants to.Commercial Break.
Tag Team Match Chris Jericho & Edge vs. World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk & Jeff HardyOf course, these four put on a spectacular main event. The heel duo doubled teamed and worked over Jeff for the majority of the match. The crowd was waiting for the hot tag and when Jeff got it they went nuts. Punk came in hitting both Edge and Jericho with everything he has. He hit his knee strike/bulldog combo on Edge, but when he got up, Jericho caught him with the Codebreaker. He went for the cover, but Jeff Hardy broke up the count. Jericho was furious, but Jeff clotheslined him and he tagged in Edge. Punk tagged Jeff back in and Jeff and Edge went at each other with a fist fight. Jeff kicked him in the stomach and called for the Twist of Fate, but Edge pushed him off, sending him into the ropes and as Jeff bounced back, Edge hit him with a Spear for the victory. Winners: Chris Jericho & Edge (15:52) ***¾Edge celebrated as he got the pinfall, keeping his No Mercy Title shot a singles match. Chris Jericho got back in the ring and attacked Jeff Hardy, blaming him for everything. Jericho was saying something along the lines of, “I had it! You ruined it!” Punk ran Jericho off, but the damage was done.© WWE 2009

WWE SmackDown: Friday 18th September 2009...A solid way to kick off the fallout edition of SmackDown following an eventful Unforgiven pay-per-view event, CM Punk coming out and cutting a promo on his victory. Oh, interesting to see Chris Jericho come out and demand a shot at Punk's World Heavyweight Championship. That would be a superb match right there. Edge and Chris Jericho feuding over the shot at CM Punk is interesting, but I very much hope that we don't see a triple threat match get added to the card at No Mercy, since RAW's WWE Championship match is already a triple threat match. I could see Jericho beginning a feud with Jeff Hardy, however, since Hardy is teaming with Punk tonight. An okay tag team match to open things up inside the ring as The Technicians, which is still a bland name for Jamie Noble and Charlie Haas took on Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins, who should really be achieving higher and better than this on the SmackDown brand. Predicted that Noble and Haas would pick up the win, and it was interesting that TJ Wilson and Harry Smith were at ringside for this match. Up next, it wasn't too grand of a match between the former partners, Carlito and Chris Masters. Shame that it didn't turn out as good as anticipated, but Masters picking up the win is fine. Like Ryder and Hawkins though, Primo and Carlito need something more to do than just job out randomly to whoever joins the SmackDown brand. Solid first-hour main event between Kofi Kingston and Shelton Benjamin, definitely the highlight of the night thus far on a fairly weak episode of SmackDown. Benjamin needed the victory, and him getting it despite the time it took Shelton to pick up the win was nice. A Casket match between Benjamin and The Undertaker could lead to 'Taker winning and ending the feud, but I hope that doesn't happen. You could have Benjamin beat 'Taker and then start 'Taker being revealed as being worn down. From there you could refreshen his personality with a realistic gimmick, like his American Badass style gimmick, but improved from last time. So many different routes to go down with this. Gail Kim defending the WWE Divas Championship against Maryse is fine, wasn't the best match ever, but it was an okay contest. Finally, great match between the two teams, Edge going to feud CM Punk going into No Mercy should be good, but as for Chris Jericho, I am hoping he does indeed get involved with something with Jeff Hardy going into No Mercy. Great show, reply to WWE RAW?

Friday Night SmackDown, great opening segment to build up for No Mercy in the early weeks. Nice stipulation and I hope Jericho gets the pin, a Triple Threat would be great. Nice to see the Technicians with the victory, two good wrestlers there. Carlito versus the enw signing? Wonder who it is. Interesting sulk by Kendrick, wonder where you will go with that. Chris Masters returning is great, glad to see him pick up the victory. Good to see Shelton Benjamin pick up the victory after his loss to The Undertaker at Unforgiven. Casket Match? Epic. Can't wait for that already. Nice segment with Vickie and Edge. Glad to see Gail Kim retain the title, hopefully she keeps it for a while. Good segment with Morrison, I hope he keeps the title for a long time, could be good for him. Great way to end the show, but disappointed that Jericho didn't get the cover, would have liked to see him get a shot. I hope that Edge defeats CM Punk at No Mercy and then goes on to feud with Jericho over the title. Overall, another great show.

9/21/09 Preview-Seven days ago, Triple H defeated WWE Champion Montel Vontavious Porter in a non-title match. With that victory, he secured a title shot at No Mercy, making the WWE Title match a Triple Threat, also involving John Cena. To end Raw last week, MVP was seen knocked out in the parking lot, much like John Cena was a few weeks back. Tonight, MVP will be in action, teaming with John Cena to take on Triple H and Legacy captain, Ted Dibiase Jr.! -Eight days ago, at Unforgiven, Batista had the WWE Title won in the Championship Scramble match with just seconds remaining, but Kane intervened and broke it up, costing him the Title. Last week, Kane brutally attacked "The Animal" from behind, and tossed him through a glass window. Despite being battered and bruised, Batista will be in the house tonight and he promises to call out "The Big Red Machine"! -Also last week, we found out that Ryan Braddock will be defending his Intercontinental Championship at No Mercy against Evan Bourne and Kaval in a Triple Threat match. Tonight, Bourne will go one on one with Kaval in a SummerSlam rematch, and if it's anything like that previous encounter, we're in for one hell of a ride. Tune into the USA Network at 9:00PM tonight for all of this and a lot more!

I need to start replying full time to this Kev, my bad. I'll get on that from Raw. For now lets look at the No Mercy card so far. The IC Championship match is looking great, I think you've did a great job with Ryan Braddock but based on one of your internet rumors, I see Kaval taking the IC title. I see Shelton beating Undertaker in the casket match somehow seeing as he can say he beat 'Taker without actually pinning him. I think you've told me the results to the main events so I won't talk about them incase I spoil them. Looking forward to both matches though. Shaping up to be a great show.

Raw sounds great, huge Main Event in my opinion, should be good. I am loving this Kane/Batista feud, I hope to see it take a brutal turn, even more than last weeks attack. Bourne vs Kaval should be off the chain, and I hope to see either of the two take the title from Braddock at No Mercy, not a big fan of Braddock.
Can't wait for Raw, reply to WWE?

September 21st, 2009 TD Banknorth Garden in Boston, Massachusetts Attendance: 17,661
Raw kicked off with a video package showing Triple H beat WWE Champion MVP in a non-title match to make the WWE Title match at No Mercy a Triple Threat match between MVP, Triple H & John Cena.The opening pyrotechnics go off and Michael Cole and Jerry “The King” Lawler welcome us to tonight’s broadcast of Monday Night Raw. They hype up our main event, where WWE Champion MVP will team with John Cena to take on Triple H and Ted Dibiase Jr.Batista’s theme hits to open our show and he gets in the ring, wearing a tank top and jeans. Despite being battered, and with a band-aid on his head, Batista got straight to the point and called out Kane. He called Kane a coward for attacking him from behind and said that he wants him to be a man about all of this and meet him face to face. Pyro explodes as Kane makes his way to the ring. Once he gets inside, the two big men begin to brawl, trading fists back and forth. Batista blocks a punch from Kane and gets the better of him, knocking him to the outside with a clothesline. He wouldn’t stop there as he grabbed a chair from ringside and went after Kane. Eric Bischoff’s theme hit as the General Manager made his way to the top of the ramp. He yells at Batista to stop what he’s doing. Bischoff announces that he was signed Batista vs. Kane for No Mercy and he can’t afford for Batista to potentially ruin that match by injuring Kane, so if he hits Kane now, he will be suspended until No Mercy on the spot. Batista looks around and nails Kane with the chair anyway. He continues the assault until security rushes down to break it up. Commercial Break.We are taken to a recap of what just went down, and then we see MVP and Eve arriving at the arena. Josh Matthews runs up and asks MVP exactly what happened in the parking lot last week, but MVP glares at him and just continues walking.Singles Match Elijah Burke vs. R-TruthThis match was packed with athleticism and fast paced offense. Both men were looking to gain ground in the IC Title race and potentially be next in line after the No Mercy Title match. The match was even throughout, until Burke dodged the Scissors Kick and quickly connected with the Elijah Experience to finish it off. Winner: Elijah Burke (7:27) **¾Post match, Burke grabbed a microphone and reminded us that he reigned supreme on ECW throughout all of 2009 and he was a big fish in a small pond. Now, though, he’s going to prove to the world that he isn’t the future of WWE, but he’s the present because he will dominate Raw as well.Commercial Break.
Divas Tag Team Match Maria Kanellis & Mickie James vs. Beth Phoenix & Women’s Champion Katie Lea Burchill w/ Layla LondonMaria made her return to Raw in this match, but she was easily the least impressive woman in the match. James did the majority of the work in this match, but eventually, Katie Lea scored the win for her team after nailing Maria with the Hair Pull Back Breaker. Winners: Beth Phoenix & Women’s Champion Katie Lea Burchill (5:40) **After the match, the winners left up the ramp, but James grabbed a microphone. She reminds everybody that she qualified for a Women’s Title match last week. So she talked with Eric Bischoff and she will be getting her shot at No Mercy.
Next, we cut to see The Cabinet in their locker room. JBL mentions that they all have the night off, but Braddock really has to pay attention to the Evan Bourne/Kaval match tonight. He tells him that a victory at No Mercy can solidify him and the Cabinet as dominant. He also tells our new World Tag Team Champions to watch Raw’s newest tag team in action, the Second City Saints.Commercial Break.MVP’s theme blasts over the loudspeakers as the WWE Champion makes his way to the ring. He gets on the microphone and confirms what we all expected. Triple H was the one who attacked him in the parking lot last week. He calls out Triple H to fight him right now. He doesn’t want to wrestle, he wants to fight. Triple H makes his way to the top of the ramp and stops there. He tells MVP that he’s not going to go down there and fight him. Eric Bischoff already suspended Batista tonight for attacking his No Mercy opponent, so he won’t do the same thing. He does tell MVP that this Sunday will be the end of his little dream title run. The Game will be back on top very soon, where he belongs and there isn’t anything MVP can do to change that. MVP says he can think of one thing, and leaves the ring and heads up the ramp after Triple H. Triple H scurries to the back. The cameras follow MVP as he searches for him. MVP turns a corner and walks right into a sledgehammer shot to the ribs from Triple H. Triple H looks down on him and smirks. Commercial Break.
Tag Team Match Legacy w/ Ted Dibiase Jr. vs. The Second City SaintsThe Saints had a very solid showing in their Raw debut. They have now been on all three brands and came out ready to prove themselves, but Legacy was in a bad mood after losing the World Tag Team Titles. The match was very good and featured a lot of back and forth action, but even after the hot tag was made to Steel, Legacy still prevailed. Joe Henning put him away with the PerfectPlex. Winners: Legacy (8:09) ***We cut to the back where the British Alliance is watching the match on the monitor. Burchill and Regal are upset that all of this tag team action is going on and they, the best tag team on the roster, is not involved. Regal promises to talk to Eric Bischoff in the coming days and get to the bottom of this.Commercial Break.Josh Matthews is standing by with former WWE Champion, John Cena. He asks Cena about Triple H’s recent habit of attacking his opponents in the parking lot or in the back. Cena calls it a disgusting act and vowed to never let Triple H get the better of him in that situation again. MVP fell for it tonight, but he will not fall victim again. He says that if MVP is too hurt to compete tonight, he will go out there, give it his all and take on both Triple H and Ted Dibiase Jr.Singles Match Evan Bourne vs. Kaval This was great, just like their SummerSlam match, but shorter. Kaval controlled the majority of it, but Bourne really got the crowd going when he began to rally back into it. Despite his comeback attempt, he misfired on his double knee drop off the top, which allowed Kaval to nail him with a stiff kick, climb to the top and finish him with the Warrior’s Way. Winner: Kaval (10:02) ***¼As Kaval was celebrating his victory, he was blindsided by Ryan Braddock, who laid him out with the Intercontinental Title. He waits for Evan Bourne to rise up, and nails him with the belt as well.Commercial Break.
Handicap Match John Cena vs. Triple H & Ted Dibiase Jr. w/ LegacyWith MVP still hurting from Triple H’s sledgehammer attack earlier, Cena was left alone. Of course, he managed to hold his own, fighting off both men until the numbers game took its toll. His opponents began to beat on him and Dibiase nailed him with the Dream Street. Triple H stopped him from pinning Cena so he could also hit the Pedigree. At that moment, MVP came rushing to the ring, holding his ribs, and hit Triple H with a clothesline. He connected with a big boot on Dibiase and the crowd was roaring. Triple H quickly delivered a low blow, causing the DQ. Winners by Disqualification: John Cena & WWE Champion MVP (9:21) **½Triple H continued the assault on MVP, as Dibiase began to leave with his Legacy teammates. Triple H set up MVP for the Pedigree, but it was stopped again, this time by Cena. He fought off Triple H and then connected with the FU to the crowd’s delight. John Cena posed for the crowd as Triple H and MVP were out cold.© WWE 2009

WWE RAW: Monday 21st September 2009...Decent way to kick off the show with an intense promo between Batista calling out Kane, and an all-out war breaking out is nice, that bout should happen at No Mercy if any event. I hope it gets turned into a no-holds-barred match, as that'd be superior than an average match. Good win for Elijah Burke in the opening contest against R-Truth but wasn't anything majorly effective. I hope Burke gets a shot at the WWE Intercontinental Championship going into Survivor Series. A fair tag team win for Beth Phoenix and Katie Lea Burchill beating Maria and Mickie James, but wasn't anything special in my eyes. Good promo by Montel Vontavious Porter promoting his feud with Triple H. I do have to say though, MVP should have a one-on-one WWE Championship defense if he's still champ at Survivor Series, because all he's been doing is defending successfully in multiman matches, which is making his reign look weak. Legacy beating Second City Saints is nothing, I don't see why Ace Steel and Scotty Goldman even moved here as it could potentially ruin them. Great SummerSlam rematch between Kaval and Evan Bourne, I just wish that Evan had won. Lastly, a pretty solid main event, unsure why it became a handicap match but good swerve tease and ending to RAW. Decent show, could set up something good.

Once again, you never disappoint on RAW. With Eric Bischoff as the general manager of RAW it makes it look like a 2005 like setup due to that being the year I started to watch WWE. Anyway, Batista calling out Kane is very realistic. And it was the perfect way to make the match. Good not letting Batista look like a softie by still making him hit Kane anyway. Good win for Elijah Burke. You're doing fairly well with the mid-carders. I've been reading this way back from December when you first started. And I wanted you to know, you should push Burke to IC Title contention. Give him a nice reign like Orton had in 2003-2004. Nice promo with MVP and Triple H as DTP said. You're hyping it up really good too. Good match between Kaval and Evan Bourne. Since you let Kaval win, you shouldn't let Bourne look weak. Give him the IC Title soon again. And finally, the star main event was electrifing, and since you've let Cena and MVP hold the belt in the past, give it to Triple H or Cena. MVP's proven to be a great WWE Champion but I just don't see him holding the title much longer. Good RAW Kev.
