(note: my UWF is PROBABLY dead... realized I had no direction except for my main event... and everything else was just being thrown at the wall.)
WWE 2006
Small retcon/backstory: ECW is not happening as it’s own brand. ECW One Night Stand has come and gone, although the WWE did sign some of the talent that worked it, and those men will be debuting on WWE programming in the next few weeks. Batista is still injured, although he will be returning shortly, and Randy Orton’s suspension will be ending in a few weeks. Ross’s Report will be returning once a week, after SmackDown, and will update on debuts, slight booking plans, injuries, hirings, releases, etc . The lottery will be happening, but has been moved to after SummerSlam as opposed to after WrestleMania. The general flow of most current WWE feuds will play out… so yes, Shawn and Trips will feud with Vince, etc…

No ones going to reply to your diary if all you do is leave short replies like that and ask them to. As for this diary, theres not much to reply to right now. The backstory isn't much of a backstory...it just tells you what you plan to do, which I don't like. If you don't want to write a backstory don't do it...but PLEASE don't tell us what you plan on doing. That takes away any reason for someone to read it.
I'll wait till you post your first show to tell you what I really think.

We start the show with a camera on Mr. McMahon, in his office.
McMahon: Triple H, for the last few weeks, you’ve been a thorn in my side. You’ve been a pain in my billion dollar ass. So, you didn’t want to take care of Shawn Michaels before? Well, next week, we’ll see you… and Shawn Michaels… in a STREET FIGHT! If you get cold feet about doing what needs to be done next week, Shawn will do it to, Hunter. Think about it, Triple H. You seem to think that Shawn… is your friend. All of the web sites are buzzing, that D-Generation X will come back. Do you really think you can trust Shawn? Do you really think that he’s this new man that won’t be the ruthless little son of a bitch when he has to be? But to let you rest up for next week’s street fight… tonight… I’m going to give you the night off. Actually, no, I’ve got a better idea. You need a tune up match tonight. So, tonight, you will face… KANE!
The screen goes black and the show goes into the standard “Across the Nation” video.
Ashley Massaro is seen in her locker room, getting ready for her match tonight. Suddenly, Mickie James and Victoria attack her from behind, throwing her into the locker. Torrie Wilson heard the noise from the hallway and comes in. Mickie and Victoria just start giggling to each other and walk off, and the screen fades to commercial.
We come back from commercial, and the Spirit Squad is in the ring. “The World’s Greatest Theme” starts to play and the team of Big Show, Charlie Haas, Eugene, Goldust, and Val Venis make their way down to the ring.
Spirit Squad vs. Show, Haas, Eugene, Goldust, and Venis
The action was fast and furious in this ten man tag team match. To say there was competition between the face squad would be an understatement. After all, there was a shot at the World Tag Team titles on the line. Any time it seemed someone in the ring was about to gain an advantage, one of his partners would tag himself into the match. As these big matches seem to do, it broke down into everyone involved in the fighting… most of it going on the outside. However, Eugene and Kenny were in the ring, and Eugene hits the Rock Bottom on Kenny! Before he can do anything, though, Mitch jumps him from behind and tosses him out of the ring, and they take it to the outside… however, in all of the ruckus, no one notices Val Venis climbing the top rope, and he hits the Money Shot on the fallen Kenny! Referee is right there… one… two… three!! Val and a partner of his choice face the World Tag Team Champions next week! *
Backstage, we see Kane WALKING! to the ring. Kane-HHH is up next.
We come back from commercial and “Slow Chemical” starts up… it’s the Big Red Machine, Kane! “The Game” plays… and here comes a very angry Triple H!!
Triple H vs. Kane
This had the beginnings of a great match. Kane took the early advantage. The action spills over to the outside, and Kane sends Trips into the steel steps at ringside. Triple H clutches his shoulder… looks like he’s hurt. But HHH fights back, and turns it back into a fight. During the fighting, neither Kane nor HHH notices that Shawn Michaels has made his way to ringside. Kane goes for the Chokeslam, but HHH pushes him away, inadvertently into the referee! Kane turns around and hits Triple H with the big boot. Then, seeing his opportunity, he goes for a chair outside of the ring… he gets in to finish the finishing blow… and Shawn Michaels is in the ring to stop it. Michaels grabs the chair… he swings at Kane, but Kane moves and he hits Triple H, right as he was getting up! Kane throws Michaels out of the ring and covers HHH… referee’s there… one… two… three!!! Michaels slides in to check on Triple H… but Trips saw Shawn hit him with the chair, and he’s in his face. Shawn brushes aside HHH’s yelling, and turns his back. Trips grabs HBK, turns him around… kick… wham… PEDIGREE! Triple H has laid out Shawn Michaels! With Shawn Michaels down, as the camera fades out, HHH gives him a crotch chop! *** 1/4
“Metallingus” by Alter Bridge hits, and Edge and Lita make their way down to the ring. Snitsky, Edge’s opponent, is already in the ring.
Edge vs. Snitsky
Largely a glorified squash, as Edge just takes all of his aggression out on Mr. Snitsky. He hits a Spear and gets the 3 count. After the match, with Lita’s encouragement, he continues the beat down and actually ends up hitting another Spear! He throws Snitsky out of the ring and grabs a microphone. 3/4*
Edge: Mick Foley. You’ve disappeared since you were pinned at One Night Stand last month. You don’t return my calls. I am the new Hardcore Icon, you fat piece of trash, and when I tell you to jump, you are to say “How high, Mr. Edge?” When I tell you to be at RAW, you are to say “How early do you want me to be there, Mr. Edge.” You don’t ignore me! I am Edge! I beat that ass at WrestleMania, and if I ever see your fat ass in this company, I’ll do it again! I offered my hand in friendship! I offered my girlfriend Lita in… well… it doesn’t matter anymore, Foley. You let me down at One Night Stand, and you’ve gone into hiding since then, and you don’t do that to me Foley!
From out the crowd, Mick Foley slides into the ring and starts attacking Edge from behind! He hits the Double Arm DDT on Edge! He starts pounding on him as he’s down… Lita sneaks up behind Foley and jumps on his back. He grabs her by the hair and throws her over his shoulder! Foley does the Cactus Jack “Bang! Bang!” and slides out of the ring, having at least a small victory in the reborn war between him and Edge!
We come back, and Armando Alejandro Estrada and Umaga are in the ring… a cut back to WWE Unlimited where Estrada said that tonight, the IC Title would be around the waist of the Samoan Wrecking Ball. We cut back, and they’re mugging for the camera in the ring. “Fury of the Storm” by Shadows Fall(with WWE Wreckless Intent ad) and here comes the Intercontinental Champion!
Rob Van Dam vs. Umaga
WWE Intercontinental Title
Umaga, with his size and strength, takes the early advantage. He throws his weight around and really makes thins difficult for the Intercontinental Champion. Seems like him taking the title tonight would basically be an afterthought, but RVD ducks the Samoan Spike! RVD hits a roundhouse kick, then hits the rolling thunder! RVD is on his way up to the top rope… ***** Frog Splash… the cover… one… two… three! RVD retains! **
“A Girl Like That” by Eleventh Hour plays, and Torrie Wilson is making her way to the ring… she’s Ashley Massaro’s replacement after she was taken out earlier tonight. “Hey Mickie” comes on the PA, and here comes the WWE Women’s Champion, Mickie James!
Mickie James vs. Torrie Wilson
Non-title
Torrie Wilson put up a strong fight, but she’s not a wrestler in Mickie’s League. It doesn’t take much for Mickie to take the advantage, and she hits the DDT with ease for the quick pin count. Valiant effort by Torrie, but she wasn’t ready for tonight. -**
Shelton’s shown coming out of his locker room… and Chris Masters follows him!
Masters: Tonight, Shelton, with my help… you might as well start calling yourself the WWE Champion. Only condition… I get the first shot, next week.
Shelton: I know the deal. That belt… it’s as good as mine.
The WWE Title match is up… NEXT!
John Cena vs. Shelton Benjamin:
WWE Title
This was a real back and forth match, a brawl that took the action all over the ring and the ringside area. Both men couldn’t seem to get a solid advantage, until the Masterpiece made his presence known! He attacked Cena every chance he could get, any time the referee’s back was turned! He locked Cena in the Master Lock on the outside, until Shelton’s former partner, Charlie Haas came to even the score! He pulled Masters apart, and then slid in and hit Shelton with a big lariat behind the referee’s back! Cena grabs Shelton… there’s the F-U! One… Two… Three! Cena retains! Masterpiece and Shelton try to attack afterwards, but Cena and Haas convince them to run away, and live to fight another day! *3/4

Raw was an interesting read. I'm not keen on Cena as champ in any case, but having him lose out of the gate makes no sense at all. Overall, I've gotta wait for this diary to develop more before I can leave a more detailed reply.

That sucks about the unexpected department of Rey Mysterio to Rehab.
But I'm sure you'll have a great idea for the Vacant World Heavyweight Championship.

The show opens with the Road Warrior in the ring, trying his best to piss off the crowd. “MR…. KENNEDY!!!!!!” plays over the loudspeaker, as his partner is the returning Ken Kennedy! Kennedy gets into the ring to do his microphone shtick… but before he can say a word, “Turn it up” fires up, and here comes Scotty 2 Hotty! Knowing he’s outnumbered… he waits until his partner comes out. "Some Bodies Gonna Get It" by the Academy Award Winning 3 6 Mafia (with WWE Wreckless Intent ad) and here comes the World’s Strongest Man, Mark Henry!
The Road Warrior & Ken Kennedy vs. Mark Henry & Scotty 2 Hotty
Both teams seemed to work really well together. The match went back and forth, admittedly with Henry dominating Warrior and Kennedy dominating Scotty. Kennedy has Scotty dominated, and goes for the Kenton Bomb, but Scotty moves out of the way, and tags Mark Henry… Henry comes in, Kennedy is able to make the tag to Road Warrior, but Henry hits the World’s Strongest Slam, and gets the victory for himself and Scotty. Afterwards, Kennedy hits the Kenton Bomb on Warrior, for “letting him down”. *
“Notorious” started up, and here comes the Notorious K.I.D., Kid Kash. “Hooligan Anthem” plays, and Brian Kendrick starts running to the ring. As he gets into the ring, Kash gives him the dirtiest look I think you could give someone that’s supposed to be your partner. “A Pirate’s Life” sounds over the P.A., and here comes the Pirate Paul Burchill! He swings down to the ring on his rope. “Longhorn” comes on, and here comes John Bradshaw Leyfield!
Kid Kash & Brian Kendrick vs. Paul Burchill & John Bradshaw Leyfield
This was a match of speed vs. size. Neither man liked their partners too terribly much, but seemed willing to put aside their differences to try to win the match… or so it seemed. Kash, though, got fed up with Kendrick about halfway through the match, and as Kendrick was going for the tag, slapped him across the face, and walked off. Afterwards, Kendrick was dead meat for the two heavyweights. A C4 from Burchill put the nail in the coffin. ** 3/4
“Can You Dig It?” Here comes Booker T! The King is here! “Whatever” by Our Lady Peace hits up, the arena ERUPTS, and here comes the Canadian Wolverine, Chris Benoit! “No Sleep Til’ Sicily” plays, and here comes Nunzio. “Do It Big” by Silkk tha Shocker strikes up, and his tag team partner is Orlando Jordan!
Chris Benoit & Booker T vs. Nunzio & Orlando Jordan
Yeah… this lasted about 30 seconds. All 4 men in the ring, Booker hits the axe kick on Nunzio as Benoit locks the Crippler Crossface on Orlando Jordan. Afterwards, Benoit and Booker stared each other down, but neither tried to attack the other. *
“Big Problem” starts up, and here comes Daivari, and his charge… The Great Khali! “Live for the Moment” by Monster Magnet plays, and it’s his partner, Matt Hardy! “Hooligan Anthem” brings out the first of their opponents, and it’s the former Cruiserweight Champion, Paul London! “The Darkest Side” starts to play… Paul London’s partner is the Undertaker! No one’s seen the ‘taker since Khali beat him at Judgment Day!
Great Khali & Matt Hardy vs. Paul London & Undertaker
Undertaker and London had a strategy for this match… and that was keeping the giant, Great Khali, out of the ring. And it worked, for the most part. Khali did end up getting in the ring, and Undertaker ended up coming in, and taking him out of the ring. The two super heavyweights brawled all the way to the back of the ring, leaving just London and Hardy. London hit the Shooting Star Press to get the victory and advance him and Undertaker in the World Title Tournament! **
“My Name is Finlay, and I Love to Fight!” sounds over the PA and you know who that is… it’s the Irish Brawler Finlay! “Dixie Redneck” plays and his partner is Jamie Noble! “Native War Cry” hits and their first opponent is the Native American, Tatanka! “Regal” begins to play, his partner is William Regal!
Jamie Noble & Finlay vs. William Regal & Tatanka
In this match, neither side had much of an advantage. Finlay and Regal seemed to relish in just stiffing the hell out of each other, without any regard for each other or themselves. Noble seemed to fit right in, and matched everything Regal threw with something of his own, but Tatanka didn’t seem to enjoy the pace of the match much. He’d try to slow it down, only to get a hard kick to his gut for his trouble. The match ended when Noble hit the Tiger Driver on Tatanka while Finlay and Regal were tearing up the first row at ringside going after each other. From the looks of things, this was the start of something big between these two. **
“Nightmare” hits over the PA, and here comes the Cruiserweight Champion, Gregory Helms! As, “Mexicool” started to play, you could see Helms basically start to throw a fit as he was teamed up with the #1 contender to the Cruiserweight Title, Super Crazy! “Machine Gun Blast” started to play, and out came one of the newest members of SmackDown!, Gunner Scott! This man has had a definite hot streak since joining the roster a short few months ago. “Stare” started to play, and his partner, accompanied by the lovely Melina, is none other than Johnny Nitro!
Gregory Helms & Super Crazy vs. Gunner Scott & Johnny Nitro
This was a match where both men had a very strong distaste for their tag team partners. Helms took every opportunity he had to cheap shot Super Crazy, the man he was supposed to team with! At the same time, you’d think Gunner would be ready to attack Melina because of his distaste for her cheating. As matches like this often do, it finally broke down to all 4 men brawling in the ring.. Helms gave Crazy the shining wizard and walked off as Gunner was on the outside arguing with Melina. Nitro took this opportunity to hit the Standing SSP on Crazy to advance to next week’s matches! ** 1/4
“Mexicool” starts to play, and here comes the other member of the Mexicools, Psychosis! “Gold Medal” hits over the PA, and his tag team partner is the former Olympic Champion, Kurt Angle! “Stare” strikes up again, and for the second straight match, a Mexicool will be taking on a member of MNM, as Joey Mercury is the first member of the other team. “This is Extreme” starts up… and here comes Paul Heyman… is HE in the Lethal Lottery?
Heyman: Ladies and Gentleman, I’m proud to bring to you… the next World Heavyweight Champion, and the newest member of the SmackDown! roster, and my client… THE HOMICIDAL, THE SUICIDAL, THE GENOCIDAL… SABU!
Psychosis & Kurt Angle vs. Joey Mercury & Sabu
This was the match of the night. The crowd was absolutely shocked by Sabu debuting. He and Angle had a really good series on the ground.. as a matter of fact, all 4 of these men could really go. Surprisingly, Sabu didn’t do anything involving chairs or anything hardcore. With Heyman and Melina both at ringside, though, this turned out to be their downfall. Their arguing distracted their team enough for Angle to hit the Angle Slam on Mercury and get the pinfall for his team. After the match, Sabu put Mercury through the Spanish Announce Table, as Melina screamed at him to stop. ** 3/4
“No Sleep Til’ Sicily” started to play, and the next man in the Lethal Lottery is 1/2 of the F.B.I., Vito! “EVIL” hits the PA System, and his partner is Funaki! “Soft Spoken Domination” starts to play, and their first opponent is Lashley! The entire arena goes dark… when all of a sudden “Burn in My Light” by Mercy Drive starts… the fans are shocked! Lashley’s partner is the Legend Killer, Randy Orton!
Vito & Funaki vs. Lashley & Randy Orton
Yeah… this didn’t last too long. Basically a Squash, although Orton not only RKO’d both Vito and Funaki, but also his own partner before pinning Vito. After the match, he celebrated as SmackDown went off the air! * 1/2

 There’s a big ole’ pink elephant in the room, and you’d never forgive good old JR if I didn’t at least mention it. Rey Mysterio’s story is really his own business. He’s been under a lot of stress lately, and before you know it, Rey will be better and we’ll let him tell his own story. World Wrestling Entertainment has released the following people from the WWE Developmental System: Brent Matthews, Brian Myers, Damien Steele, Dice Domino, and Freakin’ Deacon. Also, Eric Bischoff has formally been released from his deal with the WWE. Although he’d been removed from his position as RAW GM a while ago, he was still under a WWE Contract up until this last week. We wish Eric the best in all of his future dealings. This last week on SmackDown, the Road Warrior, AKA Animal, made his last appearance as an active wrestler. He’s now turning his attention towards managing, and is scouting talent all around the world. I hope you all enjoyed the Lethal Lottery we ran on SmackDown! this last week. 16 Superstars advanced in the quest to win the vacant World Championship. After next week, there will be 4 still in the contest. As this week, we will run 4 Four Corners matches, with the winners advancing to the 3 show, double elimination tournament that will conclude at the Great American Bash, live only on PPV. I had a chance to tour our developmental facilities this weekend, and on top of seeing some old faces who are working their way back into ring shape, I’ve got to tell you, the futures for some of these kids is as bright as the sun. You look at some of the guys the developmental system has produced… John Cena, Batista, Randy Orton, and I think some of the kids currently in OVW might have even more potential than that great group of Superstars. Speaking of the Animal Batista.. he has informed me that he will be at the Great American Bash. He will be presenting the World Heavyweight Championship to whoever wins the Title at the show. So for all of you Batista fans, he will be returning this month! And that’s about it, as far as this old Oklahoman sees it.. I’ll see you next week, enjoy a great week of RAW and SmackDown, and as always… I’m J.R. |

Wow, Good Smackdown..
Although the Main Event was pretty....lackluster like you said, but I was shocked to learn some of the wins though, such as Undertaker/London, Gunner Scott & Johnny Nitro and even letting Scotty 2 Hotty to the next round?!
Can't wait for next week's Smackdown, and this upcoming Monday Raw.

Letal Lottery was a really fun read, and I'm usually a dick when it comes to detail, but you pulled that whole mystery element off well in that episode of Smackdown. The whole main event being a sqaush is passable, although I would have rather seen it as a mid-card match. Overall, badass diary, keep it up.

“The King of Kings” by Motorhead (as heard on WWE Wreckless Intent) starts to play as the Game, Triple H, makes his way down to ringside.
HHH: Shawn, you and I have gone back a long ways. But tonight, if you don’t think I won’t do everything in my power to take that title shot, to take MY title and put it back around my waist, you’re wrong. I don’t have anything against you, but this is business. And right now, you’re in my way, Shawn. And don’t forget, when I’m leaving you a bloody mess in the middle of that ring, it’s nothing personal.
“Savage” starts to play and here comes Armando Alejandro Estrada and his man, the Samoan Wrecking Ball, Umaga.
AAE: Everybody, listen… to me! Ha ha! My name is Armando… Alejandro… Esssssssstrada!! Ha ha! My Samoan Bulldozer has said that he wants to take on the biggest… and the best! So Mr… Ha ha, Big Show! I want you to come down, and face… UMAGA!
Big Show vs. Umaga
This was the unstoppable force vs. the immovable object styled match if there ever was. Big Show started out dominating Umaga, hitting his big overhand chops, and even hitting the ChokeSlam… but, in something that wrestling fans have never seen… Umaga got RIGHT up! And from that point on, Umaga started with his strikes, hits the running butt bump, and then hits the Samoan Spike for the 3 count! It seems like the ChokeSlam just woke up the Bulldozer! *
Backstage, Shelton Benjamin is in a wheelchair, in Mr. McMahon’s office.
Vince: So what you’re saying is you want me to let someone else wrestle in your place, but then you’ll get the title shot at SummerSlam without having to do any of the work?
Shelton: You know, Mr. McMahon, that if I was able to, I’d whoop that ass tonight. But I hurt my back this weekend. But my back will be great by SummerSlam. So when, Chris Masters and his replacement…
Rob Conway walks into the room….
Shelton: Speak of the devil, when Masters and Conway beat Haas and Cena, I will take that belt of Cena’s waist, or HHH’s, or HBK’s… whoever is the champion, I’m going to beat them, and be a champion you can be proud of.
Vince: Well, when you put it like that, maybe we need someone with Ruthless Aggression! Shelton, the match is on, with Conway replacing you!
“Hardcore” starts to play on the PA, as Mick Foley makes his way out to the ring. He gives the Cactus Jack “BANG BANG!” symbol before entering the ring. He has a mic.
Foley: You know, loyal WWE fans right here in… Souix City! (cheap pop) Sometimes, we can all go a little crazy… make a dumb decision or two… and so, it’s your old buddy, Mr. Foley, telling you all that I went a little crazy a couple of months ago. Sometimes, you take a lie, and you repeat it, and you repeat it, and you keep doing so until it’s the truth. And that’s what happened. Edge had been telling me over and over again, leaving me messages, telling me how great I still was, how I was still hardcore. And then telling me that what I did was the right thing. But sometimes you have to take some time out, and evaluate things. Realize that you really didn’t want to be friends with someone who couldn’t even throw the condoms away when he was done with them! Do you really think I wanted to have to step over those in the locker room!?! Now, at WrestleMania, I might’ve been hardcore. But the match has been signed, Edge… and at SummerSlam, I’ll make WrestleMania look like a catch as can classic. Cactus Jack is coming for you, Edge… and I’m going to leave you black and blue! You might be Rated R… but the beating you’re going to be getting, Edge, is going to be rated X! Have a nice day… BANG BANG!
“Ain’t No Stoppin’ Me Now!” started to play as Conway and Masters push Shelton in his wheelchair out to the ring. “My Time Is Now” hits over the PA as Cena and Haas make their way down to the ring!
Rob Conway and Chris Masters vs. John Cena and Charlie Haas
Cena took the start against Masters… and really fought off him and Conway the entire match. Masters and Conway did a great job of keeping Cena on their side of the ring the entire match. After a missed lariat by Conway, Cena finally starts to crawl towards Haas… but before he gets to him, Haas enters the ring… and stomps Cena down! He picks up Cena, and throws him into Masters, who locks on the Master Lock! Cena starts to pass out… and he’s gone! Shelton will face whoever is the WWE Champion, Boston at SummerSlam! Afterwards, the 3 of them continued to stomp on Cena as Shelton barked orders. Afterwards, they bring Shelton’s wheelchair onto the ring, and the 4 of them celebrate over Cena’s fallen body, as Shelton holds the title above his head. Maybe next month at SummerSlam, Shelton, but not today! **
We come from commercials and Edge is in the ring, steaming mad. At a look back at WWE Unlimited, he spent the entire commercial break complaining about Mick Foley. “Fury of the Storm” by Shadows Fall hits up, the arena goes nuts, and here comes the Intercontinental Champion, RVD!
Rob Van Dam vs. Edge
Intercontinental Title
This was one hell of a match, probably one of the best in RAW’s recent memory. The two traded holds for the first couple of minutes, but you knew this wasn’t going to last. Before long, it broke down into an out and out brawl. Edge took the advantage and used chokes and stomps to keep RVD down. It really seemed like he was going to win the Intercontinental Title. But as he was prepared to hit the Spear, Mick Foley came down with a barbed wire bat… and nails Edge right in the back! RVD, never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, climbs to the top and hits the 5 Star Frog Splash to retain his title! *** 3/4
“We’ve got Spirit, Yes We Do!” starts to play, and here come Kenny and Mikey, 2 members of the Spirit Squad! “Hello Ladies” starts to play, and here comes Val Venis… he’s standing outside the ring… some Oriental music starts to play, and here comes his partner… he’s a smaller man wearing a black gi and a shroud.. he gets down to the ring, removes the shroud, it’s Tajiri! He’s wearing facepaint! Tajiri is making his debut as Val Venis’ tag team partner!
The Spirit Squad vs. Val Venis and the Great Tajiri
WWE Tag Team Titles
This was a really well done, back and forth match. The fans were very excited to see Tajiri back in a WWE ring, with his new look creating a lot of excitement. The Spirit Squad had been training thinking Val’s old partner Big Vis would be the partner. They were able to get an advantage over Val, until Val hit the big tag to The Great Tajiri! Tajiri comes in, hits some big kicks, until a low blow by Kenny is blocked, and Tajiri mists Mikey! Buzzsaw kick, and we have new tag team champions! * 1/2
We come back from commercial and Torrie and Candice are in the ring, both in robes! Jerry Lawler is presiding.
Lawler: Well, it’s the time of the show that I’ve been waiting for… well… a while! It’s time for a Bikini Contest! Who’s going to be the winner of this event, RAW fans!?!
“Road Warrior” starts to play… and here comes Road Warrior Animal! He was on SmackDown last week! He scares the girls out of the ring, and then stares down Lawler until he leaves as well.
Animal: What the hell is wrong with this business? Is this really what you idiot fans want to see? Two talentless bimbos shaking their surgically enhanced assets? I’ve been scouting the world, going to shows small and big, to find the right two men to follow in the Road Warriors dynasty! And next week, right here on RAW, you’re going to see those two men! And with me leading the way, these two men are going to take the tag team titles! And I will teach you new idiot fans to respect my style of wrestling!
“Sexy Boy” starts up, and here comes Shawn Michaels, as it’s MAIN EVENT TIME! “The Game” by Motorhead plays, and his opponent is the King of Kings, Triple H!
Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H
Street Fight
As good as RVD/Edge was earlier this night, this match might’ve been better. These two have wrestled countless times, and they both brought the hate. Michaels had the advantage for quite a bit of the match, but Triple H was able to counter the Sweet Chin Music, and then went for the Pedigree, but it was countered too. However, HHH got the better of it all, as he was going to put Shawn away, but Shawn was able to counter the Sleeperhold by bouncing off the turnbuckle and turning into a pinning predicament. Shawn was really feeling it, when someone came out of the crowd and zapped him with a Stun Gun! Wait a second… WAIT A SECOND! That’s not just anybody! THAT’S SCOTT HALL! HHH hits the Pedigree, and he wins! HHH will face John Cena for the WWE Title next week! HHH and Scott Hall pose over Michaels, crotch chopping him as the show goes off the air! *** 3/4
