WWE RAW: Monday 20th December 2010...Dislike the all-red font. Being short-sighted, it bothers my eyes. Dislike the layout, I like it plain but this is a little too plain to be pretty. Would like a graphic in there to show me it's RAW/SmackDown. Jim Ross in the ring was nice and I liked Wade Barrett's interruption. Basically just bringing us up for the Barrett and John Cena running feud that needs to end sometime soon in my mind. Sheamus, Randy Orton and Barrett could be cool, seems so obvious we're getting Miz and Orton at Royal Rumble. Could be good though, definitely fresh for main events. Miz beating John Morrison is a solid opening contest, just to get the WWE Champion over and give both men something to do. William Regal and Ezekiel Jackson's confrontation was nice, but no Ruthless Roundtable mention? How Regal used to mentor Zeke? Likely we'd see Zeke win, glad to see him in the Royal Rumble, and hope he gets over and is dominant but there's no chance he'll win. Liking Goldust as a corporate producer, looking forward to this next qualifying match. David Otunga beating R-Truth to advance basically tells us that R-Truth is not going to be going too far. Liking how you mix Daniel Bryan with four divas and Ted Dibiase, decent contest, but deja vu from three weeks prior, with Dibiase attacking Bryan. Nothing special. Liked Michael Cole's promo. Interesting segment, could lead to a filler announcer match at Royal Rumble. With thirty days until the pay-per-view though, I feel you may be building matches too soon. The Usos beating Vladimir Kozlov and Santino Marella...no momentum. The rest of the prestige has died in the WWE Tag Team Championship because the reigns are getting shorter. Looking forward to Orton facing Miz as expected. Don't get why they get to choose a stipulation if they win a match...in a CAGE. I know it's to promote WWE closing off the year good and proper, but dislike this. A decent show, nothing happening. The layout is sort of driving me away.
WWE News: Please say that the Samoa Joe negotiation is just a rumor, would make dirtsheets so much more unreliable. Dislike how your roster layout involves Hall of Famers of all people and not NXT Rookies, you should have done NXT Season Four, you could have reinvented it. Hopefully this lasts enough to see you do out Tough Enough. The Undertaker...gimmick change? Should have built up on the enthusiasm for whether 'Taker will make WrestleMania XXVII or not, just toying with the heads of the reader.
WWE SmackDown: Friday 24th December 2010...Chris Masters and Cody Rhodes had a good match, interesting to see Alberto Del Rio and Masters feud, like how Del Rio always seems to go for the bigger guys, much better ego on show. Liked Masters then putting him out though. Very good for Del Rio's sly character. Jack Swagger and Kofi Kingston's feud is generic and hopefully ends soon. Beth Phoenix beating Layla was obvious. David Hart Smith, while I'm happy to see seemingly being pushed, beating Drew McIntyre is shocking. Hopefully McIntyre will actually get somewhere sometime. And also hope Smith gains a character, mic skills and an original character. Next-generation gimmicked superstars suck. Big Show and Kaval beating Dolph Ziggler and Tyler Reks is fine, a decent first-hour main event. Feel that if we were to have the Swagger promo, it should have opened SmackDown and then had Swagger facing Kingston to open the show in the ring. The ordering is just bizarre and disorganised. Lastly, good World Heavyweight Championship defense by Edge against Rey Mysterio. Much better show than RAW, but the layout and the ordering on this show made it just seem like you didn't care what you were writing. The layout hurts my eyes, too.

I like that you are still utilising 'Juan' Cena. While I don't see much point in House Shows or anything like that, it adds realism to the diary, which I enjoy. Please stick with this Chaz, it has potential, and I am definitely going to read on. |

Following the opening video package, RAW kicks off with a pyro-technics display. Michael Cole welcomes us to the show, alongside CM Punk and WWE Hall of Fame JR! Tonight, we'll see WWE Champion The Miz versus Randy Orton in a steel cage match!
The Miz walks to the ring, on his own, with the WWE Championship over his shoulder. He takes a microphone, and begins to talk. Miz says that tonight, he and Randy Orton will close 2010 with an epic battle inside a steel cage. It's going to be the biggest match of the year solely because of The Miz's involvement. The winner will be eligible to pick the stipulation for their match at the Royal Rumble. The Awesome One lets everyone know that he has a stipulation in mind but he's not going to reveal it just yet because this city 'doesn't deserve to know'. One way or another, Miz promises he will leave tonight the winner, and the Royal Rumble as WWE Champion.
Commercial Break
The Usos and Rikishi defeat Santino Marella, Vladimir Kozlov and Yoshi Tatsu (with Tamina) when Jimmy Uso hits Tatsu with a Samoan Drop.
After the match, Rikishi tried to give Tamina a Stink Face, but Kozlov ran in and nailed Rikishi with a diving shoulder tackle, sending him flying from the ring.
Backstage, Wade Barrett is warming up, and addressing the Nexus. Barrett says tonight he'll have begin his warm-up and preparation for his match against John Cena at the Royal Rumble.
Commercial Break
Sheamus comes to the ring and takes a microphone. He begins to speak, telling everyone that he is the only man that can be considered a true potential winner of the Royal Rumble. Sheamus says that 2009 was his year, 2010 was his year, and 2011 will be too. He challenges anybody in the back to come and face him in a Royal Rumble qualifying match.
Sheamus defeats Darren Young with the Celtic Cross in a squash to qualify for the Royal Rumble match.
The Bella Twins are grabbing some coffee at the catering table when Maryse appears behind them with Ted DiBiase. Maryse condemns the Bella's for associating themselves with Daniel Bryan. These insults only lead to the Bella's attacking Maryse, rolling around the floor. DiBiase grabs one of the Bella's and pulls her away, only to be attacked by Daniel Bryan, who sends him crashing into the catering table and ruining his suit! Bryan says that if DiBiase wanted a title shot he only had to ask, half-jokingly.
Elsewhere, Randy Orton is seen doing push-ups in his locker room ahead of his steel cage match tonight with The Miz.
Commercial Break
Eve defeats Melina with a Enzuigiri.
After the match, Melina offers her hand to Eve as a sign of good sportsmanship. However, once accepted, she clotheslines Eve to the mat and begins choking her, turning heel in the process.
The announcer's hype the next pay-per-view event brought to you be the WWE - the long-standing classic Royal Rumble, coming to you live on January 30 from Boston.
Commercial Break
Michael Cole gets in the ring and says he has a big announcement to make. He begins to explain the situation regarding Jerry Lawler's arrest last week. Cole says that Lawler is registered with WWE as a 'semi-active in-ring performer', whilst Cole is not. Therefore, Lawler should not be putting his hands on him in any manner whatsoever. It was against the law for Lawler to do what he did last week, and that's why he was arrested. Cole also explains that he had Lawler banned from the show tonight. All this, because he's the one in power. He claims that he is the mystery RAW General Manager. The crowd are shocked. Cole tells them all that this is his show and it'll be run his way. He is here-by making a few changes. Firstly, Lawler is suspended indefinitely and cannot return until he says so. Secondly, JR will recognise that he is truly a greater commentator than he ever was or ever will be. He continues with his obsurd rules. Meanwhile, as Cole speaks, CM Punk tells the viewers at home he has recieved a text message telling him that the laptop is unplugged and muted, and this must be corrected. Punk stands up and fixes this as Cole protests. Sure enough, the familiar notification noise is heard letting us know that a message has been recieved from the RAW GM. Punk reads the message despite Cole's powerless orders not to. The GM says that Cole is lying to everyone and causing disruption on Monday Night RAW. This is strictly unacceptable and unprofessional. The GM says he's had enough of people like Michael Cole trying to call the shots in his absence. Therefore, next week, on the first RAW of 2011, the General Manager will reveal himself live on RAW to punish Cole in person. Cole looks shocked. He is told to leave the building and not return until next week. He has the week off. The crowd begin a 'Na Na Na, Hey Hey, Goodbye' chant as he leaves with a sorry look on his face. Why did Cole lie about being GM?
A video package airs for WWE Champion The Miz.
Commercial Break
Daniel Bryan defeats John Morrison with a small package.
Ted DiBiase is on commentary for this match, stating his intention to challenge Daniel Bryan for the U.S Title. Bryan and Morrison shake hands post-match.
After the match, DiBiase gets on the mic and says that when he beats Daniel Bryan for the United States Title, he won't be shaking his hand. He'll be spitting on his broken down body.
A graphic announces that next week, on the first RAW of 2011, we will see WWE Champion The Miz team with Randy Orton to take on World Heavyweight Champion Edge and Kane!
Commercial Break
Josh Matthews interviews Melina backstage. Matthews questions Melina's actions and why she attacked Eve earlier. Melina says she simply needed to assert her dominance so she can build up a successful challenge for the Divas Championship.
Ezekiel Jackson defeats Wade Barrett by disqualification.
The Nexus run in and attack Jackson, beating him down to the ground despite an impressive attempt at fighting back. Suddenly, a man resembling John Cena in a mask runs out with a steel chair and runs off the Nexus. Some would says that it was just Cena in a mask. Barrett goes crazy and says that Cena isn't supposed to be there, but the guy in the mask just looks confused, as if he's surprised Barrett is talking to him. The General Manager sends a message to CM Punk, who reads it out to everyone. The GM says that next week, he will conduct an invesitigation into this apparent appearance from John Cena. If it is proved to be Cena, he will remain fired and his match with Barrett will be cancelled.
A Don't Try This At Home video package airs.
Commercial Break
The Miz defeats Randy Orton in a steel cage match.
Orton tries to escape the cage, with Miz crawling behind him to stop him. Both men are physically beat. Alex Riley appears from nowhere and slams the cage door into Orton's head. This allows Miz to take advantage and crawl out of the cage. Miz will now be given the chance to choose the stipulation under which he will defend his WWE Championship against Orton at the Royal Rumble. Riley props Miz up, who hoists his title belt in the air to conclude RAW. |

Good lord, that layout is  ing gorgeous! I love the way you are using The Miz as WWE Champion. Really solid booking. I really like the way RAW ended with him coming out looking strong but as a cowardly heel at the same time. A really nice complex you have created. In other notes, the GM angle has sparked my attention massively and I'm really glad to see Rikishi back!  Keep this up! |

RAW:
- Nice little segment to start the show, I'm a big fan of Miz as WWE Champion and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with him.
- I'm not really a fan of Rikishi coming back. I just don't see him really fitting in with the current roster and it's going to take more than Rikishi to make me care about the Uso's.
- Solid win for Sheamus, I see him being a main event player throughout 2011.
- Melina turning heel is kinda expected, it's nothing special.
- Solid segment with Cole and the GM, I'm really looking forward to seeing who you unveil as the mystery GM and I'm kinda hoping it's not the same choice as me.
- Nice win for Bryan although I'm a little disappointed that you aren't running with Morrison's recent push.
- I don't see the reasoning behind the 'Jaun' Cena gimmick being used if Cena already has a chance to be rehired. It just seems a bit pointless to me.
- Great main event and having Miz win means he looks both strong and like a cowardly champion at the same time, which is good. Looking forward to seeing what stipulation he picks.

-Miz and Orton's feud seems to be getting bigger by the moment, liking the cage match tonight.
-The Usos and Rikishi winning here was the right call, but Rikishi back was very unexpected.
-Sheamus over Darren Young was expected, nothing wrong here as Sheamus could do well in RR.
-Eve over Melina was a slight shocker, but oh well, nothing to really care about here.
-Great promo here, expecting a former superstar to be it, and this is big for Cole's massive heel persona.
-Daniel Bryan over John Morrison is fine, really hope you start to push Morrison, but in this exception, I see why he would push him.
-Ezekiel Jackson over Wade Barrett is fine, liking the investigation, but since it's next week, all that means is Cena doesn't have to show up next week.
-The Miz winning the Steel Cage Match is a good main event, Miz winning is good for him, here.
-Solid show; looking forward to following weeks.

Raw, I am expecting The Miz to win later tonight through some screwy finish. I'm not really sold on Rikishi being back in action, I can't see him fitting in with todays WWE. Obvious victory for Sheamus to qualify for the Royal Rumble. Melina turning heel is definitely the way to go, her face run was getting boring. Michael Cole lying about being the General Manager? Interesting, I look forward to seeing who it is. Daniel Bryan over John Morrison is good, but a Small Package finish is a bit sly for Bryan, and followed by a handshake, doesn't really make sense. I think a clean finish should have taken place. Wow, huge match made for Raw there, but those two teams are so mis-matched, could you even write it so that they team up? This Juan Cena thing is interesting, but it appears to be taking the exact same route as Mr. America, especially with the investigation. Is there a lie detector around the corner? As predicted, Alex Riley helps The Miz win the Steel Cage match, I'm intrigued as to what stipulation he will choose. Overall, another good show.

I love the layout and how you've only listed the details that are relevant and we need to know. I also like how Rikishi is aligned with The Uso's rather than Tamina. Melina turning heel is fine since she's really stale as a face. I absolutely loved the Michael Cole/Anonymous RAW GM segment and I'm really starting to wonder who it might be. Miz retaining is fine, although I just wish you didn't do Miz/Orton so close to their PPV match. Other than that, good stuff. You're at your best when you do a current day WWE diary, or an old school one.

The graphic at the top is pretty sweet, I like the idea of putting the info on the actual graphic as opposed to typing it underneath. JR back on RAW is cool, maybe a move back to SmackDown! for Cole, or the end of Punk on commenary is around the corner. The opening promo with Miz was very in keeping with his character, and I enjoyed how condensed it was. I have been trying to do that in my diary, and I find it more enjoyable reading a promo when it's typed like that. As much as I love Rikishi, I'm not sure whether him being back will add much to the product really. It's nice to see him around though. The matches being condensed is good, but it is making the show feel a lot shorter, so I'm not sure whether I like it or not, I'm sure I'll make a judgment as the diary progresses. Kozlov sending Rikishi 'flying' ? Hmm, not sure whether that's the right choice of words. Sheamus beating Darren Young to qualify for the Rumble is a good move, though it's sad to see how far Darren Young had dropped. Hope you can get him back on the right track. Perhaps call up Percy Watson and re-unite the two of them, give the tag team division a bit of life. Daniel Bryan vs Ted DiBiase still? Why not have Bryan go up against someone new, he's already beaten Ted a few times, maybe Tyson Kidd would be a good choice. Would be fun seeing if Bryan could overcome outside interference in the form of a giant like Andrews. Melina heel turn is great, finally a relevant heel diva other than one of LayCool. Good move. Bit of a long winded promo there, though it had a good point to it with Cole being ordered to leave. I like it. The GM being revealed next week will be an exciting way to kick off the new year! Bryan vs. Morrison would've been a good contest, glad to see a handshake after. I suspect Ted is going to take the US Championship, which would be a dissapointment to me as I don't really see his appeal. The main event you have set for next week seems pretty big. Look forward to reading that. I like the way Melina justified her actions, but if she's turning heel, what she says needs to be more heelish. 'Juan' appearing is a nice touch, though I'm not sure what you're going to do next week now. You seem to be packing a helluva lot of stuff into next week's show, which will make it a good read I'm sure. Miz winning in the main event is a good way to close the evening, and I'm wondering what stipulation Miz is going to pick, no doubt something which piles the odds against Orton. You've done a good job with this show, solid effort, and next week's RAW looks to be shaping up nicely. Keep it up!

WWE RAW: Monday 27th December 2010...I certainly commend you for utilizing The Miz as WWE Champion in your diary despite your despising for him. Looking quite forward to how you have him lose it, though. Good promo but quite basic and could have used an appearance from Miz's next opposition. It's just too anticlimatic to be the opening to RAW I feel. Where's Alex Riley anyway? The Usos and Rikishi? Pretty sweet, could actually give Jimmy and Jey some leverage now. Just thing is, in current day WWE I feel like Rikishi would make The Usos faces with the thong look. Liked Vladimir Kozlov saving Tamina, and glad to see Yoshi Tatsu. Wonder how Rikishi will last. Sheamus beating Darren Young was likely, I see some potential in Young, so hopefully he's not a mere push doll. Eve beating Melina was good, would have enjoyed more seeming tension building to a Melina heel turn, rather than just simply cutting the chord and going heel here. If Melina was to keep getting pissed off every loss, it would have worked twice as better. I enjoyed the Michael Cole promo, reminded me as Joey Styles' shoot for some reason. Did like the laptop being disconnected. Good to hear the GM will finally be revealed on the first RAW of 2011. Daniel Bryan beating John Morrison was a great match, didn't do a damn thing for me, other than hurt Morrison. Liked Bryan and Morrison showing respect, and Ted Dibiase really needs the WWE United States Championship, otherwise like with Goldust, he will be totally humiliated. Dibiase is basically one of the more gullible RAW superstars here. Nice interpromotional tag team main event for next week, should be enjoyable. Ezekiel Jackson beating Wade Barrett gave Zeke a big boost. Loved how it took all of the Nexus to destabilise Zeke too. Juan Cena arrives next week? The Miz beating Randy Orton was a good steel cage match event. Not entirely sure of another match between Orton and Miz after this cage match though. A decent show, but basically setting us up for what should be a solid show next week.

-Miz and Orton should be a good match in the cage.
-Usos winning is good, still unsure about Rikishi in the food if modern day WWE
-Sheamus beating Young is obvious, good job keeping him strong in the ME scene
-DiSease and Bryan should be a good reach when it.happens
-The Melina heel turn is effective bc that's the best possible direction to take her.
-The Cole promo worked beautifully, and I actually believe he was GM, can't wait to find out the real GM
-Like the Morrison-Bryan match, DiBiase's disrespect makes this a fun fued
-Nexus beating down Jackson makes them strong in numbers
-I like Miz winning wanna see what he picks
-Great show keeps me wanting more RAW next week

I really like the tour layout looks nice and crisp and good realistic booking, really nice RAW graphic you allways do good graphics, not sure about Orton and Miz facing off then facing off again at the Rumble, why would people want to order the PPV if your allready giving away a gimmick PPV quality match?, not sure about Rikishi being back would rather him be used soley as a manager, I'd like some detail on the matches but I can see your not doing that for a reason, I can see you releasing Young soon, the backstage comedy fight was very WWE-ish which is good, good little heel turn for Melina I can see a rematch coming on the next Raw, I really liked the Cole segment but with him gone and Lawler arrested that means we get an awesome team of JR and Punk, you've got me hooked for next week's show with the mention of the GM, nice Bryan win hopefully Bryan retains, first RAW main event looks intresting another realistic booking, Zeke/Barrett is strange, even stranger that your going with the Juan Cena storyline, happy Miz won and intrested to what stip he will pick, I really like Vader's son coming in not so much on Joe and Helms hopefully they are just fake news as a kind of red herring, nice RR poster WWE-ish but better, good luck and keep this up.

Smackdown:
Solid way to open Smackdown. I like a possible Del Rio/Masters feud, which I see Del Rio getting the better of. But, I would hope to see Masters benefit from it and get a under card push. Kofi vs. Swagger should be good later on. Show vs. Kaval next week seems like a rather odd contest. Unless Show gets screwed over, I most certaintly see him going over Kaval. I’m liking a possible Swagger push, as long as he stays in the upper mid-card. Swagger/Kofi was surely a good contest. Fantastic main event. Rey/Edge put on great matches every time they compete so that is a really good way to close out the show. Solid Smackdown, overall.
RAW:
Decent opener with the Miz. The first hour really didn’t amount to anything, which is fine I guess. Just seemed really lackluster. FANTASTIC promo with Michael Cole. Right there is the reason I will be reading (or tuning in) next week to see what is going on with the RAW GM. Greatly enjoyed that segment. Bryan/Morrison would be a good match, but I don’t think I like a Bryan/DiBiase feud over the US Title. Maybe something good will come out of it. So, your going with a Mr. America sorta of think with Cena. That is pretty bad. At least your not totally ignoring the fact he was fired, though. A good main event, with the right guy going over. I hope Miz chooses a good stipulation. After a rather poor first hour, after the Cole promo the show was quite enjoyable.
Joe at the Rumble? That is interesting for sure!
