*This is also my final try at a WWE: 2007. This Diary takes place at the beginning of June* Vince McMahon is sitting in his office, with his whole family. He looks at his son, who was on the phone with Marissa, his wife. Stephanie and her husband, Triple H, are sitting next to eachother, with their new child, Aurora. The last person Vince glances at, is his wife Linda. She glances at the time and date on her phone: 5/31/07 10:29 PM Vince leans back and just looks around. Then, his cell phone rings. The four of them listen to his phone call and hear him say 'yea, sounds good' about 4 or 5 times before hanging up. Everyone gives Vince a blank stare. He starts to speak: "Everyone, that was Jim. He told me that everything is set. He has talk to the board and they agree. They knew it was time for a change. Starting tomorrow, Pietrafesa will be taking control. Smackdown will air as expected, but right after that, all questions go to him. When I interviewed him, I saw something special. When I heared him tell me, that this business was going into a dive and it was time for a change. He told me his plan, of going into a more, "indy" feel, I was sold. I kn-" "Dad, you sure you want to go along with this. I mean, who is this guy? Has he been anywhere else? I mean, you are pretty much giving him full control of all 3 shows and creative duties. I just don't know about this guy" "Shane, believe me when I tell you, this guy is something special. If this fails, then I have nothing else to go on. Guys, this is the final run...." |

 The opening video airs, as we get set for FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN! Michael Cole and JBL welcome us to what should be an action packed evening. They announced that Teddy Long will have a huge announcement later tonight. Batista's theme hits, as he walks out to a roar from the crowd. He rolls into the ring and takes a microphone. He explains why he is out here. He wants his title back. He mentions that he already had a shot, but he was screwed by the cunning Edge. He wants his title shot and he wants it now. Edge comes out, with back up. He has Finlay behind him. He said that he and Finlay have to an agreement. They said that Batista is just a big p*ssy. Batista goes to run at them until Edge and Finlay run away. Batista then steams off as we get set for the opening bout. The Throwbacks v. Funaki/Shannon MooreThis was an ugly match. The crowd didn't enjoy it, but it didn't last long. Funaki and Moore looked like they were thrown together at the last minute. At 5:23, Deuce and Domino hit a double flapjack on Moore and Domino made the cover for the 3. Afterwards, The Hillbillies, 'Cousin' Ray Gordy and Drew Hankinson appeared on the ramp. Deuce and Domino looked at them strangley and the Hillbillies signaled that that want the tag titles.Winner: The Throwbacks
Rating: 56%Teddy Long is backstage in his office. He said that on June 10th, in less than two weeks, the King of the Ring returns to pay-per-view. It will be highlighted by the King of the Ring Match. The matches are split up between all 3 brands. 3 from Raw, 3 from Smackdown and 2 from ECW. He announced the smackdown matches. These will all take place next week. Matt Hardy v. Finlay MVP v. Kane Paul London v. Brian Kendrick He also announces that Edge and Finlay will team up tonight, to face Batista and the 'Rabid Wolverine' Chris Benoit. The crowd cheered for the two announcements. Brian Kendrick v. Jimmy Wang YangThis match proved how underused the cruiserweight division really is. These two worked so well together and the crowd seemed to enjoy this. At the 7:34 mark, Wang Yang went for an Asai moonsault, but Kendrick moved out of the way and that was the turning point of the match up. Kendrick took total advantage and at 9:09, hit the Slice Bread #2 for the win. His partner and opponent next week, Paul London came out and celebrated with him.Winner: Brian Kendrick
Rating: 72%Mark Henry is backstage. He told everyone, that next week, he will be making a huge explosion. A Chavo Guerrero hype video aired. Matt Hardy v. Jamie NobleAnother GREAT match between two cruiserweights. Hardy had pretty much full control of the match. This was Noble's first appearance on Smackdown in awhile and he showed a little ringrust. Midway through the match, MVP came down to the ring and tried to distract Matt Hardy. MVP tried to hit Hardy with a chair, but ended up hitting Noble while the ref wasn't looking. He was pissed at himself, and that allowed Hardy to nail the side effect for the win. Afterwards, MVP came into the ring and attacked Hardy. Noble joined in on the fun and attack Hardy. The refs broke up the party before things got messy.Winner: Matt Hardy
Rating: 72%When we come back from commerical break, Matt Hardy is Teddy Long's office. He demands MVP and Noble in a match. Long said that if both Hardy and MVP lose their KOTR matches, they will face off at the King of the Ring, in a tag title match; The Hardys defending against Noble and MVP. Hardy looks pissed, as he doesn't know what to do. Main EventEdge/Finlay v. Batista/Chris BenoitThis match was main event worthy. Finlay and Benoit were used the most of the time. Edge attacked Batista first, before the match began and looked like he hurt Batista's leg again. Benoit locked in the crossface on Edge, but Finlay broke it up. Batista then hit a spinebuster on Finlay, but Edge went write back to the injured leg. The end of the match came at 17:55, when Benoit locked in the crossface on Finlay and he tapped out. After the match, Batista and Benoit celebrated their win, as Finlay and Edge retreated to the back as the show ended.Winner: Batista/Benoit
Rating: 72%Show Rating: 68% |

Show was good, would have preferred Edge/Finlay taking the main event but that's okay. And if you ever need a graphic, you've got my AIM/I have a PM box. You know I'd whore you a banner.

Awesome that the King of the Ring is coming back; I've always like that tournament and the PPV itself; I hope Finlay, Orton, Kane, or MVP wins it. SmackDown was great as well, I loved Edge and Finlay teaming up, seeing as they're two of the my favorite current wrestlers, just too bad they lost to Craptista and Benoit (though I love Benoit) I hope RVD stays with WWE and wins one of the major titles down the line
reply to WWF 2002:the nWo Invasion (page 3) if you can =)

I'm also happy that King Of The Ring is coming back. I love your diaries, Duaner, and I'm looking forward towards King Of The Ring, and Rob Van Dam's contract situation. Keep up the excellent work, I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
And if you could find a few spare seconds of time, could you please reply to ECW 2008?

Glad to see the Tournament back, although I never cared much for it dominating an entire PPV and preferred the TV version like SmakcDown ran a couple of years back.
Here's hoping RVD resigns.

Smackdown was a good show, Kendrick vs London will get a 100% in Match Quality, or close to it any way. The main event was good, always good to see Benoit and Finlay being used higher up the card. Wish Batista would drop out of the title picture but don't see it happening.
I hope one of the younger talents win the King of the Ring, maybe Elijah Burke? Couldn't care for Domino but I like Deuce, the hillbillys seems like a newer version of that group Hillbilly Jim had with his two cousens. MVP didn't have a match but at least he was on the show. Noble against Hardy would be an awesome match to see. Good first show and I will keep reading.
Reply to FCW would be awesome.

Really like how this diary is going, really like how you pushed Brian Kendrick over Wang Yang and to see Jamie Knoble back but to bad he lost to Matt but that is okay cause it's Matt Hardy.
Can't wait for KOTR, looking for either a memember of Londrick or Hardyz win or if not one of them Cor Von or Punk.
Good Luck man!

Great Smackdown. I dislike the fact that MVP wasn't on, but I'm not booking this. I can't wait for KOTR, but I can't predict a winner yet beacuse the tournament is jam-packed with big names. Can't wait for RAW.
If possible please reply to WWF 2000.

 "To Be Loved" by Papa Roach blasts threw the arena as we are set to kick off the flagship show of the WWE. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler welcome us to Raw. They mention that the King of the Ring will be starting tonight, as all three Raw matches will take place tonight. JR mentions that John Cena is looking for some competition, as he has become eager to fight. Just then, My Time is Now hits, as Cena comes out threw the curtain. The crowd is still mixed and is now leaning more towards boos. Cena comes out and tells the crowd that he is tired of beating everyone one and he wants some new competition. Chris Master's music hits and he comes out with his robe and all. He tells Cena that he is the man to beat now. He challenges Cena to a Masterlock challenge later tonight, but Cena deins to some boos from the crowd. Instead, he wants a regular match. Masters agrees and the Main Event is set for tonight. King of the Ring First Round MatchUmaga v. Ric FlairThis match was terrible in quality, but the crowd seemed to enjoy it. Flair somehow carried most of the match, but Umaga ended up destroying him at the end, with a Samoan Spike and Splash. Afterwards, AAE got on the mic and told everyone, that they are looking at the number one contender. The crowd boos with the results and Estrada laughs with Umaga.Winner and Advancing to Round 2: Umaga
Rating: 71%A hype video for Chucky P airs. The crowd sees it as lame. They show Sylvestor Stallone at ringside and who else but the Intercontinental Champion Santino Marrella comes out and shakes Stallone's hand. Stallone gets a mic and tells the crowd that Marrella is the real deal. The crowd gives a roar to this and it gets Santino over. King of the Ring First Round MatchRandy Orton v. CarlitoBoth men played the heel role in the match here. These two worked well still and this would make an interesting feud. This match was a shocker, because they had Carlito go over Orton, CLEANY. Carlito hit the backstabber for the win. He smiled and got some cheers from the crowd as Orton threw a tantrum.Winner and Advancing to Round 2: Carlito
Rating: 75%Orton grabs a microphone afterwards and cuts a decent promo. He tells everyone that he doesn't need this tournament. He doesn't need to prove that he can beat the best. He said that Cena wanted competition, well he better watch his back, because he just found some. Orton is coming for the World Championship. We go to Cena in his locker getting ready, smiling at the monitior. King of the Ring First Round MatchJohnny Nitro v. Jeff HardyThis was the final KOTR match and it was a great one. The match quality was amazing and the crowd was hot for this feud revived. Matt Hardy from Smackdown accompained his brother to the ring. The end of the match saw Hardy hit a Swanton on Nitro at 12:23. The crowd poped for the win and the Hardys celebrated.Winner and Advancing to Round 2: Jeff Hardy
Rating: 71%We see Triple H backstage. This is the first time we've seen him since his surgery. He told everyone that he and Shawn are both resting at home and will be back, to reign terror on Raw in a few months. The crowd enjoyed this and we hyped for the main event which was coming up. Main EventJohn Cena v. Chris MastersThis match was actually the sleeper of the night. The crowd was so into it and the quality wasn't half bad. Masters was able to lock in the Masterlock, but Cena reached the ropes. Does this count as breaking out of it? Anyway, the end saw Cena hit his usual moves and a FU and STFU for the win. Afterwards, Cena was celebrating with about half of the crowd, until Randy Orton came from behind him and gave him a thunderous RKO. Orton grabbed the title and celebrated with it. He grabbed the mic and told Cena that at the King of The Ring, he will be facing Orton, in a World Title match. Orton did his Greatness pose as Raw ended.Winner: John Cena

Really glad KOTR is back and really glad that Carlito beat Orton clean and hope this results in a push for him as I want either him or MVP to win KOTR. Although I don't really like that after losing a clean match Orton moves straight into title contention, but other than that great stuff so far.
