Cool to see you around again. I question the decision to make this a single-brand diary though, as it's very hard to just manage one roster when the line between RAW and SmackDown! blurred every single year approaching WrestleMania. Quite a thin roster, but it works going into WrestleMania provided you follow the Draft Lottery the week after. Also, not too sure why you decided to include the rosters' hometown and finishing move over whether they were face or heel. Promising though, looking forward to more.

 Monday Night Raw: 01.26.04, Hershey, PAA Royal Rumble To RememberThe Show opened with a video package highlighting the Royal Rumble. The video focused on the last man standing match between Triple H & Shawn Michaels, along with Mick Foley returning to attack Randy Orton. The video ended with a shot of Chris Benoit celebrating his Royal Rumble win.Jericho's FavourJR & King welcomed us to Raw before Chris Jericho’s music hit. Jericho entered the ring with a mic and talked about Chris Benoit winning the Royal Rumble. He mentioned that while it was disgusting that a Smackdown wrestler won the Rumble, he proved that he is the best wrestler on Raw and was eliminated last. He pled his case for receiving a title shot at Wrestlemania because of this, before mentioning that he is still owed a favour from Eric Bischoff. He calls Bischoff out and states that he wants a title shot at Wrestlemania as his favour. Bischoff says he will give Jericho his title shot at Wrestlemania if that is what he wants, but, he did plan on going ahead with the match of Kane vs. Trish Stratus tonight. Bischoff lets Jericho know that he appreciates how Jericho feels about Trish Stratus and will cancel the match and says they are even. He says if Jericho really wants a part of Evolution then he can have them right now and announces Jericho & RVD against Orton, Flair & Batista for after the break.Handicap Match: Evolution (Ric Flair, Batista & Randy Orton) defeated Chris Jericho & Rob Van Dam via pinfall.Batista started off the match with a Spinebuster on Jericho outside of the ring. This allowed all 3 members of Evolution to beat down RVD. Van Dam struggled to escape the beating but managed to get a hot tag to Jericho. Jericho managed to lock the Walls of Jericho on to Batista, but Orton hit him with an RKO. This allowed Batista to cover Jericho for the win.Orton Wants Foley in the RingAfter commercial we saw Randy Orton steaming in to Eric Bischoff’s office, he complained about Mick Foley costing him a win in the Royal Rumble match and said he’d be waiting for Foley to arrive tonight. Stone Cold walked in and informed Orton that Foley would be here, but if Orton laid a finger on Foley before he got a chance to speak his mind there would be serious consequences.We then cut to Chris Jericho in the locker room with Trish Stratus. Trish thanked Chris for using his favour to get her out of the match with Kane. She said she could see the two of them becoming very good friends before giving Jericho a hug. At that pointed Christian walked in to chase Stratus off & told Jericho that he was on Raw and not the OC.Lita & Victoria (w/Stevie Richards) defeated Molly Holly & Jazz (w/Theodore Long) via pinfall.This match came about after Victoria defeated Molly on Heat prior to the Royal Rumble. This was a quick match. The notable incidents were Lita diving on to Jazz, who was outside the ring, and Victoria giving Molly the Widow’s Peak for the win.Chris Benoit, World Heavyweight Champion?After the break Triple H strolled out to the ring. He bragged that Shawn Michaels will never beat him when the title is on the line, because he is that damn good. Michaels hit the ring and explained that as far as he was concerned they are just getting started with this. The two men got nose to nose and Stone Cold came down to the ring on his four wheeler. He mentioned that it was a shame that such a great match ended in a tie. He noted that he thinks Michaels deserves a rematch. Stone Cold then told Shawn Michaels that while it will happen, it won’t happen at Wrestlemania. Both Michaels & Triple H looked confused and Chris Benoit’s music hit. Benoit walked out on stage and talked about how he spent 15 years busting his ass off to get to the top, but someone always held him down. He fought for over 60 minutes and won the Royal Rumble, which means he will face the Best. He told Michaels & Triple H that he didn’t care who the champion was, they’d face him at Wrestlemania.Bubba Ray Dudley defeated Kane via DQ.Bubba challenged Kane to this match in a bid to get revenge for what happened to Spike at the Royal Rumble. However, Kane was in the mood for business and decimated Bubba Ray. Kane smashed Bubba in the head with the steel steps to give Bubba the win.
D-Von ran out to the ring to try and save Bubba, but was given a chokeslam for his troubles. Afterwards a gong was heard and a video clip of a graveyard was played on the screen. Kane screamed about how he buried the Undertaker as we went to a break.Bischoff & HeymanEric Bischoff was shown backstage with Paul Heyman. Bischoff grovelled to Heyman about Chris Benoit showing up. He promised nothing like that would ever happen again and he’d do anything to make it up to Heyman. Heyman stormed out and told Bischoff he’d be in touch.Goldberg defeated Mark Henry (w/Theodore Long) via pinfall.Goldberg destroyed Henry in this one. Henry didn’t even manage to mount a significant offence before Goldberg speared him to pick up the win.Hardcore Legend Returns to RawWe were shown a video of Mick Foley walking towards the ring, he was up next.Back from break and Mick Foley was in the ring. Foley started off by saying that he owed everyone an explanation after walking out on December 15th. He gave a brief overview of his career. Stating how hard it was to break in and make something of himself, but he retired on his terms, truly happy with what he’d achieved. He said his mistake wasn’t walking out on his match with Orton, it was accepting the match in the first place. He added that Orton owed him a favour and Foley wanted him out in the ring.
Orton came out and growled at Foley, he asked what exactly Foley wanted from him. Foley politely asked Orton to spit in his face again. Orton declined and called Foley a stupid, washed up old man. Foley slapped the microphone from Orton’s hand and told Orton that he bled in the ring while Orton wore diapers. After this Orton spat in Foley’s eye. Foley responded by telling Orton that he is not a hardcore legend. Foley is the one and only hardcore legend around here. He continued, noting that when Orton spat on him he spat on Foley’s name, his legacy and the business he loves. Foley said he’d spent too long working and clawing for everything he got for Orton to disrespect him. Foley punched himself in the face and blood flowed from below his eye. Foley attacked Orton with the mic and landed punches and kicks to Orton. At that point Flair & Batista hit the ring, but Foley attacked them both with a steel chair and stood tall to end Raw.[/i][/div] |

Haven't read any of your stuff before this show. Enjoyed your show was nice quick and easy to read. All I need from someone's show is who won/lost and any significant developments you had all that plus a story to follow.
You mentioned you were going to stick to actual plans going into Mania so we no where this is going but doesn't take away from the fact that it was a well written show.
Interesting that you only seem to be doing the one brand see how that plays out going forward. If you get time check out my TNA diary, feedback would be appreciated.

Weird opening promo. I feel like even though Chris Jericho was the last Raw superstar eliminated, he shouldn't have just been given the Title shot because he asked. I made this mistake in an old sim. The stuff about Kane/Trish was worded weirdly and how it randomly turned to Jericho wanting a part of Evolution wasn't good. Evolution winning the handicap match was the clear choice, but if Jericho is going to WrestleMania maybe he shouldn't have taken the fall. Didn't mind the backstage Orton stuff or the Trish stuff. Solid divas tag to give Victoria momentum. Chris Benoit going after the World Title was good, wonder if you'll go through with the Triple Threat match. Also wonder when HBK will take on HHH in another singles match. Kane getting DQed was alright and Kane vs. The Undertaker is clearly going down at WrestleMania XX. Goldberg over Henry was fine. Hopefully Orton and Foley go one on one at WrestleMania to give Orton a 'Mania moment. Overall, not a bad show but nothing special in my mind. Some odd booking decisions but hopefully things clear up over time.

Cheers for the response guys, it's been weird trying to get back in to the swing of writing for these, might tinker with the format, but I'm enjoying writing this way at the moment. In terms of the Jericho segment, that was pretty much a straight lift from the opening segment of Raw from after the Rumble in 2004, although I don't know if Jericho explicitly stated he wanted the match at Mania. Will hopefully get a preview for the next episode of Raw/some news up tonight.

Monday Night Raw: 02.02.04, State College, PAHighlight Reel with Chris BenoitChris Jericho opened the show in the ring, he introduced his guest for tonight, the newest member of the Raw Roster, Chris Benoit. Jericho spoke about how he & Benoit had been all over the world together and had wrestled the best. He mentioned winning the big one in 2001 and how he had to get over the mental block that he wasn’t good enough. He told Benoit that he had to get over the same mental block, if he doesn’t get past that then he is his own worst enemy. Chris Benoit started to reply but was cut off by Evolution’s music. Ric Flair walked out on to the stage and told Benoit that while he may well be the greatest technical wrestler of all time, he isn’t the man. Flair told Benoit he doesn’t have what it takes to beat Triple H. Flair said Triple H is the man and Benoit could only wish to be as good as Triple H. Benoit retorted telling Flair that he was right, Triple H is the man, but Triple H is only the man because Benoit hasn’t managed to get his hands on him. He guaranteed that he would beat Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania.Eric Bischoff appeared on the titan tron and explained that he wants what’s best for Raw. He said that the best thing for Raw was a Tag Team Title Match with Evolution defending against Chris Jericho & Christian. He then told Benoit he’d be in action after the commercial break. Chris Benoit defeated Mark Henry via Submission.Mark Henry lost quickly for the second time in as many weeks. Benoit wasn’t used to being in the ring with someone so big, which limited his duplex attempts. He did however work on Henry’s arm and face with a variety of stiff punches. Triple H walked down to the ring midway through the match to scout Benoit. Benoit locked in the Crippler Crossface on Henry right in front of Triple H. Triple H clapped as Henry tapped out and then gave Benoit a thumbs up.Heart Break Champ?Stone Cold approached Shawn Michaels backstage and told him that he still believed that HBK deserved another match for the World Heavyweight Championship. He told HBK that he needed to do something about it if he really wanted a shot.Orton's bitch?Mick Foley was shown backstage before he was attacked by Randy Orton. Orton hit Foley in the back of the head with the Intercontinental Championship and called Foley his bitch.RVD defeated Rene Dupree w/Rob Conway via pinfall.RVD put Dupree away with a Five Star Frog Splash. However, it wasn’t easy for Mr Monday Night. Dupree’s partner Rob Conway was at ringside and did his damnedest to make sure Dupree picked up the win. In the end Van Dam managed to kick Conway off of the apron and put Dupree away.The Fab Two...Christian approached Trish Stratus while she was on her way to the ring. He told her that the Beatles were one of the greatest bands ever until Yoko Ono split them up. He continued this by saying that if he had been Paul McCartney he would have dealt with Ono before she was a problem.Womens Championship: Molly Holly(c) vs. Trish Stratus never started.Trish was due to take on Molly Holly but Eric Bischoff appeared on the titan tron and told her that she wasn’t the number one contender, so he had a new opponent for her…Kane!Kane defeated Trish Stratus Via DQ.Trish tried to run from Kane but he grabbed her and lifted her for a chokeslam, this led to Chris Jericho running out for the save. He told Trish to go backstage and Kane slammed him shoulder first in to the ring post.Kane gets another match.After the break, Eric Bischoff was shown speaking to Kane. He told Kane he had another match and this time, he wanted Bill Goldberg to be taught a lesson.Is Jericho injured?Chris Jericho was shown in the trainer’s room while a doctor checked his shoulder. Trish ran in and gave him a peck on the cheek. She thanked him for saving her and left. Christian walked in and chastised Jericho for potentially messing up their tag team title shot later tonight. Jericho got up and walked off.Goldberg defeated Kane via pinfall.Kane lost another match thanks to a mysterious gong, which seems to be a signal of his brother The Undertaker’s return. Goldberg took advantage of the situation, even although Kane had been in control of the match prior to the distraction and nailed a Jackhammer for the win.Booker T defeated Matt Hardy via Pinfall.Booker T & Matt Hardy went toe to toe in an excellent match here. Both men pulled out all the stops and did their best to come away with the victory. In the end it was Booker who won, he put Hardy away with the Axe kick.HBK has blood on his boots...Shawn Michaels was shown cleaning the blood from the Royal Rumble off of his boots. Randy Orton walked up and laughed, he told Michaels that he will be the one losing blood tonight. Michaels told Orton to keep walking as they’d settle this in the ring.Triple H's WrestleMania warmupTriple H came out to the ring to a chorus of boos. He announced that their would be a contract signing for the World Heavyweight Championship match next week. He then told the crowd that he would then face someone of Benoit’s capability and out came Spike Dudley.Triple H defeated Spike Dudley via pinfall.Triple H absolutely killed Spike Dudley in this one, he brutalised Spike with punches and stomps before he dropped Spike to the mat with a Pedigree for the win.Goldberg is going to No Way OutStone Cold walked up to Goldberg backstage and handed him a front row ticket to No Way Out. He told Goldberg not to do anything he wouldn’t do.Tag Team Championship: Evolution (Ric Flair & Batista)(c) defeated Christian & Chris Jericho via pinfall.Chris Jericho & Christian came agonisingly close to winning the tag team championship. Jericho’s shoulder still aggravated him throughout the match. Christian nailed Flair with the Unprettier but Christian wasn’t the legal man. Batista gave Jericho the Batista Bomb and threw Flair on top of Jericho for the win.Shawn Michaels defeated Randy Orton via DQ.Michaels picked up a valuable win against Orton in his quest to get another match for the World Heavyweight Championship. In the end Orton tried to attack HBK with the IC title but HBK ducked and hit Orton with a Sweet Chin Music. Just as it looked like Michaels would beat Orton clean Triple H hit the ring and attacked Michaels with the World Heavyweight Championship to give Michaels the DQ win.
Triple H & Randy Orton beat down Michaels after the match which led to Mick Foley running down. Foley grabbed Orton and the two brawled over the barrier and in to the crowd. Triple H stood tall over Michaels before Chris Benoit came out to the ramp. Raw closed with the two men who will face off for the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania XX stared each other down. |

Good idea to open with the Highlight Reel. Chris Jericho's ability to work a crowd would help hide Chris Benoit's mediocre skills at that. The Tag Team Title match sounds great. Benoit over Mark Henry was clear, really makes Benoit seem legit. Wonder what HBK is going to do. I hope to see Orton/Foley at WrestleMania. RVD win was a good call. The backstage segment with Christian calling Trish Yoko Ono was cool. Kane/Trish is messed up but realistic for this time period. Goldberg winning was clear, as is the return of The Undertaker. Booker winning was cool but I'm not sure what this means. Or where Booker is headed going into WrestleMania XX. Triple H beating Spike is pretty funny. Goldberg going to No Way Out means we get Goldberg/Brock, hopefully both men stick around after though. Evolution retaining was what I expected since Jericho trying to save Trish hurt him and probably cost them the title win. HBK over Orton was a good main event and I see WrestleMania's main event becoming a Triple Threat match. Overall, another decent show although 8 matches is a bit much.
