if you have Kane v Taker at mania it should be a burried alive match your shows are great :-)

Very nice PPV. Kane winning was nice and will be looking forward to seeing where you head with it at Wrestlemania vs Taker. Helms winning was good and hope to see him have a good reign.

Excellent diary so far, No Way Out was great, I can't wait to see more. Yay for Kane being champion, he deserves it.

And if you wouldn't mind, could you please reply to ECW 1997?

The night begins with Theodore Long coming down to the ring. He says that No Way Out was a fantastic night and he asked if everyone enjoyed it. He got a resounding response from the crowd he then went on to say that tonight Kane and Undertaker will participate in Pick Your Poison matches and the man who wins in the fastest time will choose the type of match they will have at WrestleMania. He adds that Vince McMahon has confirmed that RAW and ECW wrestlers are eligible to be picked aswell as SmackDown! Superstars. All of a sudden Batista's music hit and he made his way down to the ring. He said that he wasn't happy with No Way Out because he got screwed out of the title by the Undertaker. Theodore Long was about to reply but then Ken Kennedy's music played and he made his way down the ramp and into the ring. Kennedy says that he should be the most upset with the result of No Way Out because he didn't even get pinned. Teddy Long then says that he can't change the WrestleMania but he can make a new match at WrestleMania. It will be Ken Kennedy vs. Batista vs. the newly signed Umaga for a shot at the title the following week on SmackDown! Just then Umaga came out from the crowd and levelled Batista and Kennedy with a double clothesline. He first picked up Batista and took him out with a Samoan Spike. He then got on the middle rope and performed a Diving Samoan Spike to Kennedy. Umaga definitely proved that he will be a force to reckoned with on SmackDown!
