The Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit, is on WWE RAW! Last week Chris Benoit ran in during the main event of WWE RAW and attacked the WWE Champion, John Cena. Cena was held in a Crippler Crossface by Benoit until a large group of WWE officials and security ran out to pull Benoit away. Cena was left after this with a broken arm and strained nerves in his neck. We are not sure if Cena's condition will allow him to appear on WWE RAW in any form this week but we do know that Chris Benoit will be at the arena! Bobby Lashley was signed to WWE RAW then thrown into a handicap match with The New Wave(MVP and Ken Kennedy) last week on WWE RAW. Lashley won the match with help from Batista. This week we will see two singles matches. Those matches will be, Batista vs MVP and Lashley vs Ken Kennedy! All this and much more on WWE RAW live this Monday night 9est/8ct only on the USA Network! NOTE: Yes...it is a picture generated from a textured game of WWF No Mercy in the background of the graphic. I think it adds something even if a small something to the diary.

That No Mercy pic is actually quite interesting. I think you could really use this to make this diary even more unique. Perhaps it could be used to show major matches at PPV's or something along those lines. That would be pretty cool.
Looking forward to seeing what Benoit does on Raw.

The Hardy Boyz(Matt and Jeff Hardy) vs The Worlds Greatest Tag Team(Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas):Another great match between these two teams in this rematch from last week. This match may have actually been better than last weeks contest but this time there was no winning team. The match was declared a no contest at 7:42 when Chris Benoit came out to the ring with a chair. Benoit attacked Benjamin, Haas and Matt Hardy with the chair knocking them all out cold as Jeff Hardy who was on the ground from a Dragon Whip from Benjamin slowly got up to his knees. Benoit quickly dropped the chair and grabbed Jeff's arm and locked him in the Crippler Crossface as the crowd booed. The referee finally managed to get Benoit to let go. Jeff rolls from the ring and all four men from the match are helped to the back by security.Match Quality: 97% Crowd Reaction: 75% Overall Rating: 86%Chris Benoit talks:Benoit yells for a microphone as the four men from the match are being carried to the back. Benoit gets the microphone and starts off by saying he has come to WWE RAW to become the WWE Champion. Benoit continues by saying that he will destory everyone on the WWE RAW roster until he gets his shot at John Cena. Benoit says that he does not have much else to say as his actions will speak louder than any words could. Benoit then throws the microphone down and makes his way backstage as WWE RAW cuts to commercial.Overall Rating: 79%Bobby Lashley vs Ken Kennedy:Fairly good match here that saw no interference from MVP, Batista, Vince McMahon or anyone which was a surprise. The end of the match saw Ken Kennedy go for a crossbody off the top rope but get caught by Lashley. Lashley then threw Kennedy up into a vertical suplex from the slam position. Lashley held Kennedy in the air for a few seconds before dropping back sending Kennedy to the ground for the 3-count at 6:03.Match Quality: 66% Crowd Reaction: 77% Overall Rating: 73%Chris Benoit's Reign of Terror continues:Chris Benoit is seen walking backstage when he is stopped by JTG and Shad of Cryme Tyme. They begin trying to talk to him about selling him a watch. Benoit asks if they saw what he did to The Hardyz and WGTT earlier. They apologize and Benoit continues to walk. Benoit grabs a steel pipe as he is walking then turns around. He runs back and cracks the pipe over the back of Shad's head. Shad goes down to the ground bleeding and knocked out. JTG tries to punch Benoit but Benoit catches his arm and pulls him down into a Crippler Crossface. JTG screams in pain as Benoit wrenches on the Crossface continually. JTG is eventually knocked out from the hold as backstage officials rush over to pull Benoit away as WWE RAW cuts to commercial.Overall Rating: 66%Victoria vs Jillian Hall:Pretty good match here that saw these two women really go back and forth with some hard hitting action. The end saw Victoria go for the Widows Peak on Jillian. Jillian however managed to slip away behind Victoria and hook her in a half nelson. Jillian then spun Victoria into a suplex position and picked her up in the air. Jillian then threw Victoria down into a brutal DDT which was finally given a name as it was called the "Face Lift" by Jim Ross. Jillian made the cover for the 3-count at 4:52.Match Quality: 60% Crowd Reaction: 40% Overall Rating: 50%Jillian Hall wants a Women's Title shot:Jillian is given a microphone as Victoria rolls out of the ring. Jillian begins to speak by saying that she just proved that she is worthy of the Women's Title by defeating Victoria. Jillian says that the only reason she decided to sign with the WWE is because she knew it was the only place a female wrestler could prove herself. Finally Jillian says that she isn't out here to talk too long and that all she needs to say is she wants a WWE Women's Title Shot! Jillian throws the microphone down as Mickie James music hits. Mickie comes out onto the top of the stage with a microphone. Mickie says that Jillian did prove herself by defeating Victoria, but she still has to beat the Women's Champ! Mickie says she'll give Jillian that chance next week! Mickie leaves to the back as Jillian smiles in the ring and WWE RAW cuts to commercial.Overall Rating: 69%Batista vs Montel Vontavious Porter:Another fairly good match which once again to the surprise of most saw no interference from Kennedy, Lashley, Vince McMahon or anyone involved in this feud that has began since Vince decided to continue punishing Lashley for the hair vs hair at WrestleMania. With this in mind it came as a huge shock when MVP took the victory at 8:11. The end of the match saw Batista hit MVP with a spinebuster and MVP roll out of the ring in pain. MVP grabbed a chair as Batista yelled for the big Batista Bomb. Batista then reached through the ropes and grabbed MVP by the hair but MVP swung the chair up cracking it across Batista's head somehow in a position that the ref did not see it. Batista fell back in pain and MVP got into the ring. MVP makes the cover for the 3-count as the crowd boos. MVP then stood up and called out Ken Kennedy who came down from the back. MVP and Kennedy began to lay a beating on Batista at this point.Match Quality: 71% Crowd Reaction: 77% Overall Rating: 75%Vince McMahon announces HUGE tag match for next week:Bobby Lashley comes running to the ring as MVP and Kennedy continue the beat down. Lashley slides in the ring and both MVP and Kennedy quickly leave the ring and back up to the top of the stage. "No Chance" hits and Vince McMahon comes out with a microphone and stands beside MVP and Kennedy. McMahon says that it seems things are getting very heated between The New Wave and Batista/Lashley. McMahon says they can bring it to the ring next week as they will be facing each other. But it won't be only them! Vince says that their will be a 4-way Tag Team match that will see Batista and Lashley vs The New Wave of MVP and Ken Kennedy vs The Hardy Boyz vs The Worlds Greatest Tag Team with the winning team getting a shot at Shawn Michaels and John Cena for the WWE World Tag Team Titles! Vince ends off by saying "And I assure you...The New Wave will be victorious!" Vince, MVP and Kennedy leave to the back as WWE RAW cuts to the final commercial break.Overall Rating: 80%Chris Benoit gives an open challenge:WWE RAW comes back from commercial as Chris Benoit makes his way to the ring with a microphone. Benoit gets in the ring and says that he is going to continue his Reign of Terror, but he wants a challenge. Benoit says he is laying down an open challenge to face anyone who has the guts to put themselves on the line and face Benoit's Reign of Terror! Benoit waits a good 20 seconds for someone to come out but no one does. Benoit brings the microphone to his mouth and gets ready to speak when Shawn Michaels' music hits! The crowd goes crazy as Michaels makes his way down to the ring.Overall Rating: 80%Shawn Michaels vs Chris Benoit:Amazing match here that really helped to set the tone for this Benoit/Michaels/Cena war. The end of the match saw Michaels manage to make a fairly big comeback after being beaten down by Benoit for a good amount of time. Michaels eventually had Benoit down and went to the corner. Michaels began to stomp as he waited for Benoit to stand for the Sweet Chin Music. Benoit stands up and Michaels goes for the Superkick. However Benoit quickly drops back to his stomach and Michaels ends up hitting the referee. Michaels goes to check on the referee as Benoit rolls out of the ring and grabs a chair quickly. Benoit gets back in the ring and lies on his stomach with the chair under him making as if he is still down. Michaels turns and starts to stomp again waiting for Benoit to stand. Benoit eventually stands up with his back to Michaels hiding the chair. Benoit turns and steps to the side as Michaels goes for the kick. Benoit swings the chair hitting Michaels hard in the knee. Michaels goes down screaming in pain as Benoit throws the chair from the ring. Benoit grabs Michaels legs and quickly locks in the Sharpshooter and sits down hard. Michaels screams in pain but with no ref he can't even give up. Michaels finally passes out and another referee runs to the ring. The new ref calls for the bell awarding the match to Benoit at 13:53.Match Quality: 84% Crowd Reaction: 89% Overall Rating: 87%"NOT AGAIN! HE'S GONNA TEAR HIS ARM CLEAN OFF!" -Jim Ross:The crowd booes as Benoit held the Sharpshooter on an unconcious Shawn Michaels refusing to let go. Officials came out to try and get Benoit off but were not successful as Benoit held with a tight grip continuing the pressure on Michaels' legs and back. Suddenly John Cena's music hits and the crowd lets out a huge cheer. Cena runs down to the ring with a cast on his left arm. Cena gets into the ring and tries to punch Benoit with his right arm but Benoit lets go of the Sharpshooter and catches Cena's arm. Benoit takes Cena down and hooks his arm between his legs. Benoit takes his hands and grabs Cena's left arm and starts to rip away at the cast. Benoit finally gets the cast off and rolls over Cena's back to the other arm. Benoit hooks that arm and then hooks Cena's head with the Crippler Crossface. Cena screams in pain as Benoit wrenches on it trying to cause even more damage to Cena. Benoit won't let go and WWE officials are seen trying to pull him away from Cena as WWE RAW goes off the air.Overall Rating: 91%Overall Show Rating: 77% This weeks episode of WWE RAW scored a rating of 6.51

"I will take over ECW!" is the quote that ECW.com got from Elijah Burke when asked about the attack on Rob Van Dam last week. Burke told us that he hopes Van Dam's arm is broken and if not severly weakend so The New Breed can rise. Elijah Burke told ECW.com that him and his New Breed would be at ECW tonight to begin the rise to the top of ECW. Burke told ECW.com that the takeover begins tonight on ECW On Sci-Fi! The ECW Tag Team Title mini-tournament began last week and saw Thorn/Striker and Dreamer/Sandman advance to the match at Barely Legal for the belts. This week we will see Kevin Thorn vs The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer vs Matt Striker as warm up singles matches for both teams leading into the tag against each other at Barely Legal. We also saw Punk/Nitro and Venis/Richards lose to those two teams which means they will go on to Barely Legal for the TV Title. The question is, which two will go into the singles match? Tonight we will see CM Punk vs Val Venis and Johnny Nitro vs Stevie Richards with the winners of each match going on to face each other for the ECW TV Championship at Barely Legal. You won't want to miss all this and MORE on ECW On Sci-Fi live tonight 10est/9ct only on the Sci-Fi Network!

The New Breed open ECW On Sci-Fi:ECW On Sci-Fi sees The New Breed in the ring as soon as the opening video completes. Elijah Burke is standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand. Burke says that the takeover of ECW began last week when Rob Van Dam's elbow was smashed to pieces with the Elijah Express. Burke says Thorn and Striker did good last week advancing to the tag team title match at Barely Legal. Burke turns to them and tells them that it doesn't count until they bring the gold to the New Breed. Burke says that tonight the destruction will continue as Striker and Thorn will destroy Dreamer and Sandman respectively. But most importantly we will see Marcus Cor Von destroy Sabu in the main event! Burke smiles then him and Cor Von leave to the back. Thorn and Striker stay out along with Ariel for Thorn's match against The Sandman up next as ECW On Sci-Fi cuts to commercial.Overall Rating: 77%The Sandman vs Kevin Thorn w/Ariel and Matt Striker:Pretty good match here that saw lots of power from Thorn and hard hitting from The Sandman who used the Singapore Cane on Thorn many times nearing the end of the match. The end of the match saw Thorn out of it from so many shots from the cane. Sandman brought the cane high above his head ready to strike Thorn in the top of the head with a lethal blow to knock Thorn out. However as Sandman brought the cane back it was grabbed by Matt Striker on the apron. Sandman turned to attack Striker but Striker pulled the cane away and jumped off the apron. Sandman turned around into a kick in the gut from Thorn followed up by a big Crucifix Powerbomb by Thorn for the 3-count at 4:51.Match Quality: 82% Crowd Reaction: 71% Overall Rating: 76%CM Punk speaks:ECW cuts backstage with CM Punk standing beside Maria for an interview. Maria asks Punk about the TV Title and Punk's plans if he makes it past Val Venis tonight. Punk says first that he is so happy Maria decided to come to ECW, Punk however says that he'll elaborate on that another time right now its about the TV Title. Punk says that when he used to watch ECW he saw the ECW TV Title as something just as big as the ECW World Title. Punk says that if he wins the TV Title he will treat it like the World Title even though it is essentialy a stepping stone. Punk says that tonight is about Val Venis, but Sunday is about Richards or Nitro. Punk says he is confident that he will leave tonight a winner and leave Barely Legal the new ECW TV Champion! Punk walks off as Maria is shown smiling and ECW On Sci-Fi cuts to commercial.Overall Rating: 78%Stevie Richards vs Johnny Nitro w/Melina:Fairly good match here that saw Stevie Richards show that he was the veteran by taking it hard to Nitro and out wrestling him the entire match. The end of the match saw Nitro with a slight advantage go for the Picture Perfect Moment(Twisting Moonsault) but Richards rolled out of the way and Nitro came crashing down on the mat. Richards got ready for the Stevie-Kick as Nitro stood up. Richards went for the kick but Nitro dropped to his back and caught Richards in a school boy. Nitro held the tights for the 3-count giving him the victory at 5:02 and advancing to the ECW TV Title match at Barely Legal.Match Quality: 71% Crowd Reaction: 67% Overall Rating: 69%"My name isn't Eugene...":Once Johnny Nitro gets to the back we hear Eugene's music hit. Eugene makes his way out to the ring with a microphone but looks very different. Clean shaven in a pair of black jeans and a black tank top. Once Eugene gets to the ring he begins to speak. He says that all the people here know him as Eugene, but that is not his name. He says that a lot of people probablly expect him to come out and say the chairsault last week hit him so hard that it knocked him "normal". He says in a way that is true. He says that for the last few years he had his friends telling him "Yea go out there and pretend you're some mentally handicapped kid, the crowd will love you for sure, how can they not?" and for those few years he went along with it. He says that for the last little while though, the fans haven't appreciated him! He says that last week when he heard the cheers when Super Crazy crushed his head with a chair, he knew it was time for a change. He finishes off by saying "I was never mentally handicapped and my name isn't Eugene...my name is Nick Dinsmore...and I am THE MACHINE!" Dinsmore then leaves the ring and walks towards the back as ECW On Sci-Fi cuts to commercial.Overall Rating: 76%Tommy Dreamer vs Matt Striker w/Kevin Thorn and Ariel:Another fairly good match for this episode of ECW that continued to add tension and hype to the ECW Tag Team Title match at Barely Legal. The end of the match saw Matt Striker with the advantage on Dreamer looking to be about ready to end it as The Sandman came running out with the Singapore Cane as a little pay back for earlier. Sandman cracks the cane over Kevin Thorn's head and Thorn goes down. Striker runs over and reaches out grabbing the cane away from Sandman. Sandman continues to distract Striker as Dreamer gets up. Striker finally turns around and Dreamer kicks him in the gut then quickly hooks his head. Dreamer drops with a Dreamer DDT spiking Striker onto the Cane that he was still holding onto for the 3-count at 3:56.Match Quality: 72% Crowd Reaction: 71% Overall Rating: 71%The Machine attacks Super Crazy:ECW On Sci-Fi cuts backstage to Super Crazy who is talking with some of the backstage officials when out of nowhere Nick "The Machine" Dinsmore attacks Crazy. Dinsmore knocks Crazy to the ground then picks him up and whips him into the wall hard. Dinsmore yells at Crazy who is on the ground about crushing his head with the chair last week. Dinsmore yells at crazy that he isn't easy going mentally handicapped Eugene anymore, he's Nick "The Machine" Dinsmore! He finishes yelling at Crazy by saying "Its already booked...see you Sunday!" implying that Super Crazy vs Nick Dinsmore will be a match for the Barely Legal PPV as ECW On Sci-Fi cuts to commercial.Overall Rating: 63%CM Punk vs Val Venis:Great back and forth match here which really showed Punk's ability as he matched hold for hold with the more experienced Val Venis. The end of the match saw Punk and Val battling on the top rope when Val managed to push Punk down. Val went for the Money Shot but Punk was up so quick that he was able to catch Val like a crossbody. Punk threw Val up onto his shoulders then popped Val into a brutal GTS for the 3-count at 6:27. After the match Punk and Val shook hands and Val wished Punk luck for Sunday as ECW On Sci-Fi cut to the final commercial break.Johnny Nitro attacks CM Punk:ECW comes back from commercial and we see CM Punk talking to Maria at a table backstage. Melina and Nitro come up out of nowhere and start to talk trash to Punk. Punk stands up to fight and Nitro backs off. Nitro begins to walk away but as Punk sits back down Nitro turns and charges. Nitro tackles Punk off the table onto the floor. Nitro yells for Melina who grabs him a steel pipe. Nitro takes the pipe and holds it up against Punks throat choking him. Nitro tells Punk that he has no chance at Barely Legal because Nitro's victory will be Picture Perfect! Nitro picks the pipe up off Punk's throat then basically slaps him in the face with it. Nitro then stands up and walks off with Melina as Maria who is almost in tears checks on Punk.Overall Rating: 82%Sabu vs Marcus Cor Von w/Elijah Burke:Pretty good brawl here that saw these two go completely nuts. Cor Von using his power to throw Sabu around like a rag doll while Sabu took advantage of old ECW rules using everything he could find that wasn't bolted to the ground on Cor Von. The end of the match saw Cor Von down for the Triple Jump Moonsault but as Sabu ran for it he was tripped by Burke. Sabu got out of the ring and chased Burke around a few times before Burke got into the ring. Sabu began to chase Burke around in the ring as Cor Von got ready. Cor Von ran and went for the Pounce on Sabu but Burke was right near Sabu. Sabu dropped down to avoid the Pounce and Cor Von caught Burke with it sending Burke flying out of the ring. Cor Von looked to the outside at Burke distraught over what he had just done as Sabu ran up the chair then jumped to the top rope. Cor Von turned as Sabu came off the top turning 180 in the air and catching Cor Von with a Tornado DDT for the 3-count at 7:34.Match Quality: 84% Crowd Reaction: 82% Overall Rating: 83%"He may be hurt but he's still here to defend the honor of ECW!!!!" -Joey Style:Sabu begins to celebrate as Elijah Burke slowly stands up. Burke grabs a chair and slides into the ring. Burke cracks the chair over Sabu's back sending Sabu to the ground in pain. Cor Von manages to get up to his feet now as well. Cor Von and Burke begin to beat the hell out of Sabu two on one. Sabu tries to fight back as best he can but keeps getting brought down by the two men. Burke eventually tells Cor Von to set Sabu up in the corner sitting. Cor Von does so and puts a chair on Sabu's face. Burke motions for the Elijah Express into the chair and Sabu's face. Burke runs and as he does so he gets caught with a chair in the face thrown from the outside of the ring perfectly aimed by Rob Van Dam. Burke drops and rolls out of the ring as Van Dam slides in. Cor Von bails quickly aswell. Van Dam is given a microphone as you can see his elbow taped up and Cor Von and Burke back up the isle way towards the back. Van Dam says that there isn't much time for talk but at Barely Legal this Sunday its already set...Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von vs Sabu and ROB VAN DAM! Van Dam says that he's so confident that him and Sabu will win that he had a stipulation put in...if Cor Von and Burke get the win then which ever one of them made the pinfall gets a shot at the ECW World Title whenever they want! Van Dam drops the microphone and does his usual "ROB...VAN...DAM" taunt as ECW On Sci-Fi goes off the air.Overall Show Rating: 75% This weeks edition of ECW On Sci-Fi scored a 4.10 rating!

WCW made the signings of two huge superstars who appeared on WCW Nitro last week, those two superstars being Randy Orton and Edge, also known as Rated RKO. By the end of WCW Nitro last week Rated RKO had already made a very powerful enemy. It began when Randy Orton attacked The Undertaker beginning a non-title match between the two. Randy Orton was victorious but not cleanly. Orton won when his partner Edge interfered and cracked a chair over The Undertaker's head. After the match Rated RKO tried to beat Undertaker into the ground and when Orton hit Undertaker with an RKO they thought they had succeeded. However Undertaker sat right back up sending Rated RKO bailing from the ring in shock. WCW.com has been told that The Undertaker was very unhappy with what went down and requested a match against either member of the team for this weeks edition of WCW Nitro. Eric Bischoff granted Undertaker the match and this week we will see The Undertaker vs Edge in a non-title bout! The United States Title Tournament continues this week on WCW Nitro. Last week we saw William Regal beat Paul London to advance in the tournament and we saw Gregory Helms beat Scotty 2 Hotty to advance as well. This week we will see two more matches in the tournament, at this time we only know one of them and that will be Brian Kendrick vs Dave Taylor! Along with all of this we will see the WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Billy Kidman will defend his championship this week on WCW Nitro. Don't miss all this and more on WCW Nitro this Friday night 8est/7ct only on the CW Network!

ECW this week was fairly good, I'm glad you changed Eugene to Nick Dinsmore. The PPV is looking stacked, RVD/Sabu vs Cor Von and Burke should be good. This was a well booked show. WCW is also looking good this week, Edge vs Taker should be interesting. Should be a decent Nitro. ps - Reply to WWE 2008 RAW please?

Every show gets me more and more excited about the next. ECW was well booked. Eugene going back to Nick Dinsmore was good although could have been done better but I guess its better to have it done a bad way just so he can lose the gimmick and end the intellectually- disabled person thing forever. Hope CM Punk wins the TV Title.
Also WCW looks to be good. Cant wait to see who wins this US title tournament. Also Rated RKO Vs Undertaker is a great feud and cannot wait to see what happens next.

"Get your own nickname, Dinsmore." Honestly though, I'd think Dinsmore's old Mr. Wrestling nickname would probably work better. ECW was fairly odd, as everyone I was rooting for lost, but overall, the show was well written and enjoyable, nontheless. Nitro looks like it should be really good. Go Helms! And here's hoping 'Taker gets a big win.

Having Nick Dinsmore as 'The Machine' is pretty cool, I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with him. Also;
The Sandman vs. Kevin Thorn made no sense to me, as Thorn was knocked out, how did he get up and nail Sandman with a crucifix powerbomb?
lmao; no worries though; as I'm enjoying this diary, and I hope to see more of your work.
Also; if you wouldn't mind, could you please drop a reply to ECW 2008?

Right now, WCW is the best brand. I LOVE Rated RKO vs. Undertaker, and just the booking behind EVERYTHING in this diary. Everything is so well written, and it hows why you're probably the best writer I've ever seen.

ECW Barely Legal Card and Preview:ECW Barely Legal, the first Pay Per View of the new WWE/WCW/ECW promotional split. This is ECW's chance to make an impact being the first PPV of the promotional split era. You better believe that this show will be HUGE! Main Event: Rob Van Dam and Sabu vs Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von:Elijah Burke has let everyone know from day one that the New Breed, Burke specifically, would be taking over ECW. He finally has the chance to begin this at Barely Legal! If Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von get the victory in this match then whichever one of them made the pinfall will get an ECW World Title shot at any time. RVD is coming into this match with a badly injured elbow from an attack by Elijah Burke two weeks ago. RVD however tells ECW.com that he is so confident in himself and Sabu that he has already been talking to Paul Heyman about possibly challengers for the ECW World Title, since Burke or Cor Von won't be getting a shot. So the question is...does the experience...The New Breed Experience...being April 22nd 2007 on Pay Per View? We'll find out Sunday night! ECW Tag Team Title Match: Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman vs Kevin Thorn and Matt Striker:Two weeks ago a mini-tournament for the ECW Tag Team Titles began. We saw Tommy Dreamer and Sandman defeat Stevie Richards and Val Venis. We also saw Thorn and Striker defeat Punk and Nitro when Nitro attacked Punk, but there will be more on that in a minute. For now we focus on this match. The Originals and The New Breed have been in a war to see which group truly controls ECW since the year 2007 began. Now that war has another element to it...the ECW Tag Team Titles! Which team is going to walk away ECW Tag Team Champions? Will Dreamer and Sandman help solidify The Originals control of ECW or will Thorn and Striker help to kick start the New Breed Experience? ECW TV Title Match: CM Punk vs Johnny Nitro:The ECW Tag Team Title tournament saw these two men forced to team against Dreamer and Sandman. The idea was the losing teams would go into a mini-ECW TV Title tournament. Nitro didn't want to be a tag team champion, especially with CM Punk. Nitro wanted the TV Title and because of that greed we saw Nitro attack his own partner, CM Punk with a chair to help give Dreamer and Sandman the victory. It just so happened that the mini-tournament we saw for the ECW TV Title wound up sending these men to battle against each other as Nitro beat Stevie Richards and Punk beat Val Venis. The last interaction we saw between these two was Johnny Nitro attacking CM Punk backstage with a steel pipe and leaving Punk lying on the cold cement floor in pain. Will Punk get his revenge and become the ECW TV Champion or will Johnny Nitro's victory be "Picture Perfect" just like he said it would? Super Crazy vs Nick "The Machine" Dinsmore:Eugene vs Super Crazy opened the first ECW episode of the promotional split with Super Crazy taking the victory after a chairsault that saw Eugene get blasted hard with the chair. After the match Eugene walked out refusing to shake Crazy's hand. This past week Eugene came to the ring and told the world he was never mentally handicapped. He told everyone it was all a trick to get sympathy but the chairsault knocked some sense into him and he realized it had to stop...now Nick "The Machine" Dinsmore is here! Dinsmore attacked Super Crazy at the last ECW On Sci-Fi show and now tonight we have a match between the two. Will Super Crazy come out with a victory just as he did on ECW On Sci-Fi 2 weeks ago or will Dinsmore prove he is truly...THE MACHINE! 4-Way TV Title #1 Contendership Match: Val Venis vs Stevie Richards vs vs A 4-way match has been signed for ECW Barely Legal that will see Val Venis vs Stevie Richards vs two mystery opponents. The winner of this match will get an ECW TV Title match against the champion on ECW On Sci-Fi! PLUS! The return of Extreme Expose! Don't miss ECW Barely Legal, LIVE, April 22nd 8est/7ct ONLY ON PAY-PER-VIEW!!!!!

Loving this so far.
As nWo said, you should add No Mercy pics to your diary, it just adds that little "something" to the diary, and having a picture to help you imagine what you're reading.
Rated RKO vs 'Taker feud is making me want more, more, more, moooore!

Extreme Expose Opening:The opening video of ECW Barely Legal that was set to "Face Down" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus finishes and the show cuts to the ring where Kelly Kelly, Layla El and Brooke Adams are standing for Extreme Expose. "Chelsea" by Stefy the original Extreme Expose theme plays as Kelly, Layla and Brooke dance for the crowd. However the Extreme Expose is cut short at about a minute when we hear "MACHINE" through the speakers and some music hits as Nick Dinsmore makes his way to the ring. Kelly, Layla and Brooke run from the ring to the back as we now await the opening match of Dinsmore vs Super Crazy.Overall Rating: 47%Super Crazy vs Nick Dinsmore:Fairly good match here that saw Super Crazy try to use his speed on Dinsmore in the beginning. It worked for awhile as Dinsmore was sent to the canvas multiple times from some powerful and speedy dropkicks by Crazy. Super Crazy eventually goes for a big crossbody on Dinsmore but Dinsmore catches Crazy and slams him down hard. From here on it was basically a complete mauling of Super Crazy. Dinsmore did all he could to try and end the career of ECW's original Luchadore! The end of the match saw Dinsmore finally become bored with what he had been doing. Dinsmore hooks Super Crazy's left arm then goes under to Crazy's back still holding the arm. Dinsmore picks Crazy up in what looks to be a Burning Hammer with the arm hooked. Dinsmore sits out as Crazy goes down to the ground face first. Joey Styles says the move is called Broken Machinery as Dinsmore rolls Crazy over and makes the cover for the 3-count at 7:12. After the match Dinsmore picks Crazy up and holds him by the hair. Dinsmore brings his right arm back then swings forward with a brutal Lariat sending Crazy onto his head. Dinsmore then leaves the ring as ECW officials run out to help Super Crazy.Winner: Nick Dinsmore Match Quality: 75% Crowd Reaction: 65% Overall Rating: 70%CM Punk is ready to beat Johnny Nitro:Barely Legal cuts backstage to CM Punk with Maria at the interview area. Maria asks Punk about the attack on tuesday nights ECW On Sci-Fi and if Punk is ready for tonight. Punk says that the attack on tuesday wasn't physically painful, it was mentally painful. Punk says that the mental slap in the face of having someone like Johnny Nitro hold him down with a pipe was worse than actually getting hit with it. Punk says tonight he is ready to become the ECW TV Champion and get revenge for tuesday night. Punk tells Maria that he doesn't want her to watch because he may do things he won't be proud of that he doesn't want her to see. Punk then walks off as Maria looks worried.Overall Rating: 86%ECW TV Title #1 Contendership Match: Val Venis vs Colt Cabana vs Stevie Richards vs Too Cold Scorpio:The myster opponents in this big four way match ended up being Too Cold Scorpio and Colt Cabana who both got huge cheers from the crowd. The match ended up being a 4-way Elimination match that saw all four men working hard to elimate their opponents and get a shot at the TV Title on this upcoming weeks ECW On Sci-Fi. The first elimination saw Cabana and Val fighting on the outside as Richards and Scorpio were on the top rope in the ring. Scorpio managed to knock Richards from the top then quickly went flying with a Scorpio 450 Splash for the 3-count at 4:31 eliminating Stevie Richards. Val and Cabana then decided to work together to take out Too Cold Scorpio. This strategy worked for about a minute until the two had managed to weaken Scorpio and turned on each other. Cabana ends up getting the advantage over Val and sets him on the top rope for a super-plex. Cabana climbs to the top himself but is pulled down by Scorpio. Scorpio goes up to super-plex Val himself but Cabana pulls Scorpio down hitting him with a hard back suplex. Cabana rolls away as Val comes off the top with a Money Shot splash on Scorpio to get the 3-count at 8:12 eliminating Too Cold Scorpio. Cabana then allowed Val to stand up and the two shook hands. Cabana and Val began to wrestle each other trying to catch a victory. The end of it all saw Cabana and Val going back and forth with near falls. Eventually Cabana caught Val with a sunset flip and as Val was rolling out of it Cabana stood and underhooked him. Cabana picks Val up into the air then sits out with a Colt 45 for the 3-count and victory giving him a match for the ECW TV Title on Tuesdays ECW On Sci-Fi at 12:47.Winner: Colt Cabana Match Quality: 78% Crowd Reaction: 62% Overall Rating: 70%ECW Television Championship Match: CM Punk vs Johnny Nitro w/Melina:Absolutely great match here between these two for the ECW TV Title. The match began with a lot of back and forth fast paced action. Eventually Nitro tried to backdrop CM Punk over the top rope but CM Punk held on and landed standing on the apron. Nitro turned into a nice springboard clothesline from Punk. For about a minute after this Punk took a slight advantage really beating down on Nitro with lots of well placed kicks and various other strikes. Punk eventually hit Nitro with the big knee in the corner then called for the bulldog. Punk hooked Nitro's head and ran but Nitro pushed Punk off. Punk went running towards the corner opposite of where they came from as Nitro stands in the middle of the ring. Punk jumps to the second and then goes back with a beautiful 180 crossbody. However Nitro jumps up and connects with a dropkick to the face of Punk. From that point Nitro had a fairly long advantage over Punk that saw Punk try to make a comeback on several occasions but each time getting shut down by some sort of cheap tactic from Johnny Nitro. Nitro eventually brought a chair into the ring and laid it down on Punk. Nitro went to the top rope and called for a 450 splash. Nitro went for it but Punk threw the chair into the air. The chair cracked Nitro in the face as he was just about finished the rotation. Nitro lands slightly on his feet then falls to the ground holding his face. Punk begins to make a comeback as the crowd cheers. Punk hits Nitro with the slaps, spinning back hand, then kick combo. Punk then runs for what i'm guessing was going to be a Busaiku Knee but Melina hooks Punk's ankle. Punk turns and grabs Melina by the hair pulling her up onto the apron. Punk yells at Melina but doesn't hit her as Nitro grabs the chair he had thrown in his face. Punk turns around into a BRUTAL chair shot that dents the chair. Punk goes down to the canvas completely knocked out and Nitro climbs the top rope and goes flying off with a Picture Perfect Moment onto Punk. Nitro stays for the 3-count at 15:03 to become the ECW Television Champion!Winner and ECW Television Champion: Johnny Nitro Match Quality: 81% Crowd Reaction: 86% Overall Rating: 84%Rob Van Dam speaks:Barely Legal cuts backstage to Rob Van Dam standing beside an unhappy looking Maria. Maria is taking forever to even start to speak so RVD asks her whats wrong. Maria tells him that she is worried about Punk after the chairshot because he has a concussion. RVD says he is sorry and Maria asks RVD about his match later tonight and why Sabu is not with him right now. RVD says that Sabu doesn't talk so that explains why he isn't with him right now. RVD says that for the last 3 weeks the New Breed, specifically Elijah Burke have been trying to destroy him and the rest of the Originals. RVD says tonight it will come to an end. RVD says that him and Sabu will beat Burke and Cor Von to finally put an end to this. Van Dam finishes by saying "They have no chance because they are facing...ROB...VAN...DAM" while doing his usual RVD Taunt. RVD then walks off as Maria still looks unhappy.Overall Rating: 76%ECW Tag Team Championship Match: Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman vs The New Breed(Kevin Thorn and Matt Striker) w/Ariel:Not much to really say about this one. It was a good match that saw action all over the place. No real advantage from each team as we saw a back and forth brawl between these teams all over the ringside area. At one point Sandman and Thorn went all the way up to the stage. When they were on the stage Sandman tried to go for the White Russian Legsweep with the singapore cane on Thorn but Thorn managed to duck out and get behind Sandman. Thorn then took his arms reaching over Sandman's shoulder grabbing the cane. Thorn brought it up and hit Sandman with a White Russian Legsweep on the stage. Dreamer and Striker are seen fighting in the ring as Thorn starts to make his way back to the ring. Dreamer manages to catch Striker with a Dreamer Driver as the crowd cheers. Dreamer goes for the cover but it is broken up with a chair to the back of Dreamer from Thorn at the 2-count. Sandman is seen slowly crawling down the stage towards the ring with the singapore cane in hand. Thorn grabs Dreamer and picks him up into a Crucifix. Thorn holds Dreamer as Sandman manages to get into the ring with the cane. Thorn turns around holding Dreamer and Sandman cracks the cane over Thorn's head. Thorn drops Dreamer to his feet and Sandman strikes Thorn again sending Thorn falling through the ropes out of the ring. Sandman goes to the outside to continue the beating of Thorn as Striker is getting to his feet now. Dreamer however is waiting...Striker turns...kick...DREAMER DDT! Dreamer makes the cover...1...2...3! Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman are your ECW Tag Team Champions at 11:33. Sandman gets into the ring as the ECW Tag Title belts are given to him and Dreamer. Sandman and Dreamer celebrate as Kevin Thorn slowly gets up on the outside grabbing Sandman's sinagapore cane. Thorn gets into the ring and cracks the cane over both Dreamer and Sandman's backs then cracks them each in the face with the cane knocking them out. Thorn gets out of the ring and pulls Striker from the ring then carries him to the back as ECW Officials run out to help the ECW Tag Champs, Dreamer and Sandman.Winners and ECW Tag Team Champions: Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman Match Quality: 83% Crowd Reaction: 75% Overall Rating: 79%Elijah Burke speaks:Barely Legal cuts backstage to Elijah Burke with Maria who still seems unhappy and distracted with what happened to CM Punk earlier. Burke tells Maria to keep her personal life out of her work life and focus on interviewing. Maria gets angry and just hands the microphone to Burke then walks off crying. Burke says he doesn't care how she feels all that matters now is Elijah Burke. Burke says that he wanted this interview time alone without the rest of the New Breed because tonight is not only the beginning of the New Breed Experience but the rise of the Elijah Experience! Burke says that in just a few moments he will go out to that ring with his partner Marcus Cor Von and they will defeat Rob Van Dam and Sabu. Burke says that he will make the pinfall and he will then go on to become the NEXT ECW World Champion! Burke then walks towards the curtain where he meets up with Cor Von.Overall Rating: 86%Rob Van Dam and Sabu vs Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von:This match was amazing, not only did we see hard hitting action, we also saw an amazing amount of high flying and speedy spots from RVD, Sabu and Elijah Burke. Also you need to remember that all matches are now contested under original ECW rules and these guys took full advantage of that beating each other with anything they could get their hands on. The match began with Van Dam and Sabu managing to run through Elijah Burke and Cor Von using their speed to their advantage. However that same speed finally caught up to them when Sabu got Burke down and went for the Triple Jump Moonsault. As soon as Sabu landed on the top rope we saw Cor Von pull Burke out of the way sending Sabu moonsaulting onto nothing but hard canvas. This gave Burke and Cor Von a chance to try and wear Sabu down as he was the legal man with RVD waiting on the apron. Its hard to believe but despite weapons being legal the regular tag rules were still enforced by the referee making sure Van Dam didn't enter the ring while Sabu was legal. Burke and Cor Von tried to take the victory by pinning Sabu on multiple occasions but Sabu would just not stay down. At one point we see Cor Von tag Burke in and tell Burke to whip Sabu off. Burke does so as Cor Von hits the ropes. Burke drops down hoping to send Sabu jumping over Burke into a Pounce. However Sabu does a huge dive over Burke into his corner as Cor Von goes for the Pounce. The momentum sends Cor Von through the ropes to the floor as Sabu tags into RVD. Van Dam came in like a house of fire and eventually threw a chair to Burke then hit him with a Van-Daminator that sent Burke flying over the top rope to the outside. Van Dam went to the outside and tore apart the announcers table then set Burke on it as Sabu set a chair up in the ring. Sabu ran and jumped from the chair to the top........HUGE FLIPPING LEGDROP ONTO BURKE THROUGH THE TABLE!!!! Burke is totally out of it and Sabu is up but in pain. This saw a 2 on 1 of Cor Von for awhile. Cor Von managed to use some cheap tactics and his raw power to gain a slight advantage every so often but each time was cut off by both Sabu and Van Dam using the numbers advantage. The end of the match saw Cor Von laid out in the ring as Elijah Burke slowly began to stand up on the outside. Van Dam was on the top rope and came flying with a Five Star Frogsplash but Cor Von managed to roll out of the way and out of the ring. Van Dam lands hard as Cor Von is on the outside walking trying to shake the pain off. Sabu follows Cor Von to the outside and goes to clothesline him but Cor Von ducks and Sabu almost runs himself into the barricade. Sabu stops and turns...POUNCE THROUGH THE BARRICADE INTO THE CROWD!!!!! A huge "Holy ****" chant is heard as Elijah Burke slowly gets up into the ring. Burke pulls his knee pads down for the Elijah Express as Van Dam ends up in a corner holding his ribs. Van Dam turns and Burke charges to actually hit Van Dam in the chest with it. However Van Dam drops down and Burke goes knees into the turnbuckle. Burke holds his knees in pain as Van Dam grabs a chair Van Dam throws the chair to Burke and goes for another Van-Daminator but Burke ducks this time. Burke drops the chair and rolls Van Dam up....he's got the tights...1....2....KICK OUT!!!!! The crowd cheers but Burke is in perfect position for the Elijah Experience(The Stroke)...AND HE HITS IT SLAMMING RVD'S FACE RIGHT INTO THE CHAIR! Burke makes the cover....1......2.....3 at 21:47! ELIJAH BURKE GETS THE PINFALL AND A SHOT AT THE ECW WORLD TITLE AT ANYTIME! Burke begins to jump around the ring in celebration as ECW Barely Legal goes off the air.Winners: Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von (Burke made the pinfall and gets an ECW World Title shot at anytime) Match Quality: 81% Crowd Reaction: 86% Overall Rating: 84%Overall Show Rating: 80% ECW Barely Legal got a buyrate of 1.84 with 20,483 people in attendance!

Great PPV. Glad to see Nitro winning, as well as Elijah getting the pinfall, Dreamer and Sandman going over was definitely great, I would've preferred Val or Scorpio winning the #1 contender match, but that's a minor complain.
The writing for this show was just nuts, man, in a good way.
Great job.
