World Wrestling Entertainment 2011

Thanks man. Yeah, you're right, it's after TLC; the quick results of TLC are now available in the third post as a prologue to the actual diary. Henceforth I'll actually be writing detailed shows for Raw, Smackdown and all PPVs.

WWE RAW: Monday 20th December 2010...This diary seems to have some potential, your layout definitely needs work. The Verdana font is dire, and the layout is extremely basic. It could just use a complete rehaul, maybe in Arial or Tahoma. You need to note down the date, really. Also, this is not the final edition of RAW in 2010, you still have one more week. Ezekiel Jackson beating Primo is a nice dark match, but seven minutes is perhaps five minutes too long at least. No WWE Superstars matches? I feel like this should be noted to show us the superstars from RAW and SmackDown not used on those shows. Wade Barrett in the ring was nice, not sure why the triple threat match had that chairs match stipulation though, it just doesn't read out too well. John Cena still being on Barrett's case is nice. Did like how the General Manager was unable to do anything with Cena being fired, but Nexus look increasingly dumb. I feel the main event should have been hyped here. Or a first hour main event. The Usos defeating Mark Henry and Yoshi Tatsu is acceptable, weak opening contest though. On RAW, the typical format is that the strongest matches on the card [or most over stars on the card] will appear in the opening contest, the match going into the second hour/starting off the second hour [typically third match] and the main event. This wouldn't have done too well. A viral video scenario again? I hope this is not Chris Jericho, of all guys. It's been two months. R-Truth beating William Regal was typical, sounded like the main event to Superstars or something. The match went too lengthy for RAW in my mind, their undercard matches do not usually touch five minutes. Ted Dibiase setting up another WWE United States Championship match with Daniel Bryan could be cool as long as Dibiase wins this one. He has to. Bret Hart being randomly back is bad. Tyson Kidd attacking David Hart Smith is fine, but Code Blue backstage? Nay! Sheamus beating Kenny Li...bad first hour main event. This genuinely made Sheamus look dumb because he has nothing to do. With John Morrison around, you should have had something different than a squash. Especially in the first hour main event [one of the ratings peak points of RAW]. Please make Nexus more credible: they are made out to be idiots against Cena. Cena obviously took out Michael McGillicutty. Randy Orton's promo was good, Alex Riley interrupting and leading to a match was likely: should have been first hour main event. Now that would have made a good first hour main event. The Miz costing Orton the match was lovely, but hopefully Orton gets a rematch with A-Ri and defeats him. Orton and Miz at Royal Rumble most likely. Did like Wade Barrett then calling out his attacker. The Undertaker...interesting, but too soon for him to return from his surgery. Lastly, a good main event win for the WWE Champion against the WWE United States Championship, everything was acceptable about it. Overall, you need to make quite a few tweaks to your format, your layout and your booking skills: don't rush. You have another five or six weeks until Royal Rumble, so do not rush the card out. Hope we see some Superstars results. I do feel the card lacked at five matches though, if you'd have thrown in a divas match it would have down better.

Nah, they're not stolen, I've got the .psd's in my Photoshop if you want proof. Also, thanks for the feedback guys I'll try to rectify everything for Smackdown.

Friday 24th December, 2010

Segment One
Smackdown Opening

[/color][/center]

We are welcomed to WWE Smackdown by Matt Striker, Todd Grisham an Michael Cole. Cole explains that the reason this arena is covered with Christmas trees and other festive novelties is because we're having Smackdown's annual Christmas themed edition. He also explains that tonight we're going to get the fallout from Tables, Ladders and Chairs with two new champions in Edge and Kaval. Striker then says that the crowd should look forward to tonight's main event where we're going to see Alberto del Rio take on the high-flying Kofi Kingston!

The camera then pans over to Smackdown General Manager Theodore Long who is stood in the middle of the ring with a microphone in his right hand. He says that tonight, because we're having a Christmas theme, why not have a Christmas themed match? So, tonight, Rey Mysterio will take on former World Heavyweight Champion Kane in a- before Long could continue Kane's music hit and he ran down to the ring with a huge scowl on his face.

Kane shouts at Theodore Long saying that he's not taking on Rey Mysterio tonight and he's definitely not taking part in any petty Christmas themed match. He wants to cash in his rematch clause on Edge tonight! Long tells Kane to calm down but he's not going to get that match tonight. He's going to get it at the Royal Rumble! And, seeing as Edge chose the TLC stipulation, Kane gets to choose the stipulation for this match. Kane smiles and nods his head as the crowd boos the big red machine.

Match One
Layla vs Beth Phoenix

Beth Phoenix makes her way out to a massive pop from the crowd who are just happy to see someone with talent winning rather than LayCool. Michelle McCool, however, is not at ringside for some unknown reason. Layla looked displeased to be in a match with Beth Phoenix with her regular companion.

Layla starts the match-up off by slapping Beth round the face. Beth didn't react so Layla did it for a second time. This time, though, Beth picks Layla up and slams her into the floor with a Glam Slam and picks up an easy three count.

Dolph Ziggler is backstage with Vickie Guerrero and NXT Season 3 winner Kaitlyn. Vickie starts badgering Dolph by saying she's going to help Dolph get his Intercontinental Championship back however they can. Kaitlyn sits in the corner shaking her head at Vickie's cheating ways. Vickie seems to be absolutely furious that Kaitlyn is still following her around even after NXT has finished.

Dolph looks at Kaitlyn and smiles before telling Vickie that he's going to do this the right way without cheating. He says that if he takes on Kaval one on one cleanly then he knows he can win the Intercontinental Championship back. Dolph begins to walk out of the locker room when Vickie puts her hands on Dolph's shoulders and tells him she knows what she's doing. Dolph tells her to shut up and pushes her out of the way before walking out of the locker room. Kaitlyn follows Dolph and Vickie is left on her own looking quite glum.



Josh Mathews introduces his guest at this time, who is 'The Essence of Excellence' Alberto del Rio. Mathews asks him how is he going to overcome Kofi Kingston in tonight's main event. del Rio says that Kofi Kingston doesn't deserve to be inside the same ring as del Rio because he is royalty and Kofi Kingston is like Rey Mysterio, he's the gum at the bottom of his boot.

del Rio then says that tonight's main event is a no-brainer but he has other things on his mind currently. He says that Smackdown is a disaster because its World Heavyweight Champion is a man from a horrible place called Canada. Edge better watch out because when del Rio gets his hands on Edge, Edge will tap out! del Rio then does his signature wink into the camera before the titantron fades to black and attention is back in the ring.


The new Intercontinental Champion Kaval comes out to a few cheers, mostly coming from men over the age of eighteen. Cody Rhodes stands at the beginning of the stage and starts to give out a 'live edition of Cody Rhodes' grooming tips' he says that a man trims his unibrow hairs because everybody has them! He gets a little metallic tool out and begins to demonstrate his methods. While Rhodes is doing this we go to a commercial break.



When we get back from a commercial break the match-up has already started and Kaval is seemingly being dominated by Cody Rhodes. Rhodes kicks Kaval in the gut before setting him up for the Cross Rhodes. Kaval uses his unorthodox offence to jump up and reverse the Cross Rhodes into a Hurricanrana and send Rhodes flying into the turnbuckle.

Kaval jumps up to the second rope and starts with then ten count punches on Rhodes. The crowd count every punch up until eight where Rhodes throws Kaval off of him and slams Kaval to the ground with a vicious Clothesline. Rhodes goes for the cover but Kaval kicks out at two and a half. Rhodes lifts Kaval up and pulls Kaval into a half nelson hold and attempts to hit a full nelson slam but Kaval hits multiple elbows on Rhodes to get out of the hold.

Kaval then bounces off the ropes and hits a massive dropkick on Rhodes. Kaval waits for Rhodes then runs at but Rhodes rolls out of the ring and attempts to timewaste. Kaval waits for Rhodes and the referee gets to a seven count when Rhodes finally gets back into the ring. The pair lock up and Kaval gets the advantage and he strikes Rhodes with two swift kicks to the head before Rhodes moves out of the way and protects his face from Kaval. While Rhodes is facing the other way Kaval hits a neckbreaker before climbing up the top rope and hitting the Warrior's Way, getting the three count in the process.



Michael Cole, Matt Striker and Todd Grishim begin hyping up how, tonight, we're going to see Alberto del Rio and Kofi Kingston battle it out in our main event. Also, they've just gotten word that we're going to see World Heavyweight Champion Edge host a Christmas themed edition of The Cutting Edge. They also hype up Drew McIntyre's match-up with Rey Mysterio which is coming up very soon.

Edge's music hits and the new champ receives a massive reaction from the crowd who are in awe of Edge. Edge is wearing semi-formal attire with his world title slung over his shoulder. When he enters the ring he does his signature squat and raising his hands up in the air, world title and all, and the crowd go crazy for edge.

Edge then settles down and sets about introducing his guest, former world champion, Jack Swagger! Swagger makes his way out to a chorus of boos. Swagger sits down opposite Edge and picks up his own microphone. Edge asks Swagger what it's like go from world champion to serial loser in a matter of weeks. Swagger tells Edge to shut up and ask him a serious question or else!

Edge laughs Swagger's threats off before asking him if he feels jealous of Edge's world championship, as he says this Edge lifts the world title above his head to taunt Swagger. Swagger does say anything and runs at Edge, Edge reacts quickly and smacks Swagger round the head with the world championship belt. But, out of nowhere, Edge turns around into a Chokeslam from Kane and is left down and out. Kane picks up the strap and we finish the Cutting Edge with Swagger and Edge on the floor while Kane is stood high above everyone else.

As these two starting wrestling the three man commentating team starting recapping what has happened so far on this episode of Smackdown. They then continue to hype things up such as tonight's main event between Alberto del Rio and Kofi Kingston and how Kane will choose the stipulation for his and Edge's match at the Royal Rumble.

Todd Grisham is cut short in his hyping when Big Show has Reks in the corner of the ring and hits a massive slap that echoes through the entire arena. Big Show lifts his hand up ready for the Knockout Punch whilst screaming to entice the crowd. Reks grasps his chest in pain then begins to focus on the match again. Big Show ends up punching thin air as Reks ducks the move and moves around to the other side of Big Show.

Reks waits for Big Show to turn around before lifting Big Show up and putting him in a Torture Rack position. Reks has extreme pain on his face as he's trying to keep Big Show up and attempting to flip in over. In the end Big Show simply slips off of Reks' body with ease then drops Reks with a vicious Sidewalk Slam. Reks is left curling around on the floor while Big Show tries to amp up the crowd by clapping, we go to commercial break.



We come back and Reks is sitting on Big Show's back on the floor with an armbar locked in. The crowd starting clapping for Big Show to break the hold and he manages to power his way out of the hold. Reks tries to gain control again by kicking Big Show in the stomach but Big Show moves out of the way then hits Reks straight in the face with the Knockout Punch. Instead of pinning Reks, however, Big Show sat on his back and locked in the Colossal Clutch forcing Reks to tap out almost immediately.



We are then shown a video package that highlights all the goings on from the previous episode of Raw. Most time goes to The Miz , Daniel Bryan, Wade Barrett and Randy Orton. Every time Orton appeared on the screen he got a massive pop from the crowd.



Another video promo plays highlighting that the Royal Rumble will take place on the 30th January, 2011. Thirty WWE superstars are pictured one after another, they each look hungry to win the rumble and go on to main event Wrestlemania 27 in Atlanta. The video then shows previous rumble winners celebrating their win and their subsequent world title wins at previous Wrestlemanias.



The match starts with Drew McIntyre controlling Rey Mysterio by using his mean streak to ram Mysterio into the turnbuckle before repeatedly smashing his shoulder into Mysterio's abdomen, he then punches Mysterio in the face three times. McIntyre pulls Mysterio into the middle of the ring and throws him on the floor. McIntyre runs his hands through his hair readying himself for the Futureshock DDT.

Mysterio pulls himself out of the double underhook and then dodges a Clothesline from McIntyre before tripping McIntyre into a 619 position on the ropes. Just as Mysterio swings on the ropes McIntyre pulls away and leaves Mysterio kicking at nothing. Mysterio reacts quickly and pulls himself up on the ropes and jumps at McIntyre; however, McIntyre uses his brute power to catch Mysterio in a powerbomb position on his shoulders.

Instead of McIntyre hitting a powerbomb, Mysterio rolls through and reverses the manoeuvre into a roll-up and gets a close two count. McIntyre gains the advantage and Irish Whips Mysterio into the corner, McIntyre runs at Mysterio but he gets his feet up and kicks McIntyre in the head. A groggy McIntyre stumbles around the ring as Mysterio bounds off the ropes and hits an effective crossbody. Mysterio waited for McIntyre to get up before tripping him into the ropes, connecting with the 619 and getting the three count.

Kofi Kingston is shown warming up for his match against Alberto del Rio by doing press-ups in his locker room. Rey Mysterio then walks into Kingston's locker room and wishes the Ghanian good luck and tells him to teach Alberto del Rio a lesson about respect for others. Kingston nods his head then walks out of his locker room.

More and more people pat Kingston on his back as he makes his way towards the ring. Kofi Kingston has built out a rapport of support as he's going to try and pull off a massive upset against Alberto del Rio in tonight's main event.



The two lock up and del Rio gains the advantage. He pushes Kingston into the turnbuckle but the referee breaks them up. del Rio gives Kingston a slap around the face then does his trademark wink to Kingston. He doesn't react very well to this and jumps onto top of del Rio and proceeds to pummel him in the face multiple times.

Kingston waits for del Rio to get up before hitting him back down with a jumping dropkick. Kingston tries to get the upset by going for an early pin but del Rio tamely kicks out at one and a half. del Rio uses the ropes to pull himself up, Kingston then runs at del Rio but he dodges Kingston and he goes shoulder first into the steel ring post. Michael Cole mentions that this will make Kinston extremely susceptible to del Rio's Cross Armbreaker submission move.

While Kingston's holding his shoulder del Rio puts him into a schoolboy roll-up for a two count. del Rio then picks Kingston up and hits him with a powerslam. del Rio then sits Kingston up and hits him with two hard kicks in the back. del Rio puts Kingston into a side headlock then drags him over to the corner and smashes Kingston's head against the top turnbuckle multiple times.

He then Irish Whips Kingston against the ropes, Kingston jumps over del Rio then hits a dropkick. Kingston does the boom clap and amps up the crowd before connecting on del Rio's neck with the Boom Drop. Kingston then does another boom clap as he readies himself to hit the Trouble in Paradise of del Rio.

When Kingston goes for the Trouble in Paradise, however, del Rio rolls outside and Matt Striker mentions how smart del Rio is for doing this. Kingston follows del Rio but del Rio gets back into the ring before Kingston gets to him. When Kingston gets back into the ring del Rio catches him off-guard, grabs him arm and flips him over into the Cross Armbreaker, Kingston has no choice but to immediately tap out.



Smackdown then goes off air with Alberto del Rio celebrating in the ring as his personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez starts screaming something in Mexican.

-Decent promo to start, I wonder what kind of match Kane will decide to pick.
-Weak start with the right result to kick off the show here.
-Kaval over Cody Rhodes is a good rebound for him here, good call.
-Big Show over Tyler Reks was definitely expected.
-Mysterio over McIntyre would have been a great start. Good call here too.
-Del Rio over Kofi was the right call, slightly main event worthy but good job.
-Good show; you do better than most newbies. Good luck.

That must be you...

That diary and Manipulation's have totally different start points. The only thing they have similar is the graphics and he provided a pretty logical answer to that.
