Happy to see new guys on the roster dudes and that 'Taker promo on SD was absolutely ing godly.


<333 this is great.

Liked the wedding angle, and Raw and ECW were solid shows. Dont really like Batista getting into the title match. GAB looks stacked

ECW was a good show. I'm enjoying the talent initiative, and it is awesome to see Colt Cabana being brought in. I really hope you use him properly. The main event was cool, and it really sounded like a cluster nut of a match. I'm enjoying the Finlay/ Morrison & Miz feud.

I find Vickie being kidnapped very interesting, and also I think that Edge vs The Undertaker would be nice, which I can see coming soon...I hope either way nice opening segment you have there.
I am also happy to see Carlito win, I am somewhat of his fan, simply as I have not watched ECW in a while to know who Kingston is.
The interview that was held after the match seemed to be good.
Yes at the Edgeheads winning! I love it thank you whoever caused this, seriously they should make very nice champions.
OK what the hell? Trevor ing scares me a little.
Nice diva's match I suppose, I really like Cherry.
OK nice match after that for the title, but seriously I think that you should have gave the win over to Super Crazy, I have always liked Super Crazy and thought he made a nice champion.
Ahh looks well played as heels backstage.
Wow I can not wait to see how Ric is as GM looks pretty nice.
Boo at Shelton not winning his match, I think you should push him some man.
Loving the backstage attack, nicely played.
Seriously nice main event! I loved it all.

Overall I love this Diary keep it up guys.

Sorry bout that, did not notice.
Can you reply to my WWF vs ECW 01?

Super reply will come probably from GAB. Looking to be stacked, though not a fan of having Edge/HHH immediately, Summerslam would have been much better for the first encounter. Cena/MVP/Batista is an interesting match, looking forward to it. Womens title fourway will be sick, sounds absolutely awesome. Hope Melina takes it. Miz and Morrison probably won't, but better retain the tag titles again.

[/color] - Both teams have alot of chemistry with each other after wrestling each other over the last month, Finlay and his cousin, Sheamus wrestled a stiff roughneck match while MNM Version 2 wrestled more of a on stage show type of match, playing to the crowd and what not, both teams had equal momentum throughout the match but it was the current tag team champions who got the win after both Irishmen connected with a move on an opponent, Finlay with the Standing Greenbay Plunge while Sheamus connected with the Death Valley Driver.

A video played hyping SummerSlam - LIVE August 17th from the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana!

3) WWE Women's Champion, Mickie James (c) defeated. Melina, Beth Phoenix and Victoria to retain her title - These four women are solid workers, and that made for a solid match. Beth and Victoria almost had the match won several times, but their pins respectively where broken. Mickie was able to hit Victoria with the "Mickie-DT" to retain her title.

The Big Show was then shown backstage getting ready for his upcoming ECW title match against Mark Henry.

4) ECW Champion, The Big Show defeated. "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry to retain his title - This match was slow paced as we all expected. Both men exchanged offence throughout the entire match. The match itself lasted around 9 minutes, and around the 8 minute mark, Big Show took control and was able to hit Mark Henry with the "Final Cut" for the 3 count.

We see Carlito backstage with Eve Torres. Carlito talks about Matt Hardy, and how after tonight he will become a two time United States champion.

5) Carlito defeated. United States Champion, Matt Hardy after the referee attacked Matt Hardy[/color] - This match was solid, and the crowd where really into it. Cole and Foley put over the fact that the referee tonights first official match as a WWE referee is tonight. He seemed to get into a few arguments with Matt Hardy throughout the course of the match. That all made sense later as the man viciously attacked Matt Hardy with the US title from behind, and hugged Carlito. Carlito then pinned Hardy for the 3 count. Afterwards, Carlito and the "referee" made their way to the back together with Carlito's new US title. Who is this man?!

6) World Tag Team Champions, Mike & Ted DiBiase defeated. Cryme Tyme to retain their titles[/color] - Unlike the earlier tag title match, this one was alot slower paced, the DiBiase brothers still need to work on their heelish bahavior to be fair, but they were brought up rather early. Cryme Tyme worked a good match, JTG was beaten down before getting the hot tag to Shad but it didn't last long as JTG got tagged backed in to early and Shad was knocked out of the ring. JTG was an easy target for a Lariat/Spear combination called the DiBiase Knock-Out, the DiBiase Brothers got the three count and quickly left the ring.

Carlito and the referee where shown leaving the arena together. Todd Grisham is shown chasing after them, but they quickly get into a car and speed off.

7) Bryan Danielson defeated. Intercontinental Champion, Chris Jericho w/ Lance Cade in a non-title match following interference from Shawn Michaels[/color] - Fantastic match from start to finish, more than likely match of the night if it wasn't for Danielson being all that known to the WWE crowd, granted there was a few Ring of Honor chants. Lance Cade interfered during the match to give Jericho the upperhand again but as the match was coming to an end, Shawn Michaels jumped the barricade and super kicked Lance Cade. Shawn slid in to the ring with the referee still alive but Jericho knocked him of the apron, Jericho was distracted long enough for Danielson to ground and pound Jericho before locking in the Cattle Mutilation, Jericho had no choice but to tap out. After the bell, HBK shook hands with his pupil, Bryan Danielson.

A video package plays, hyping the upcoming triple threat for the WWE Championship.

8) WWE Champion John Cena defeated. Batista and Montel Vontavious Porter to retain the WWE Championship[/color] - Surprisngly a great match, MVP showed he could work a big time match but it was obvious Batista was thrown in to this match to give it more hype. MVP was out of it for a few minutes as Cena and big Dave worked on each other, eventually Batista connected with a Spine Buster on Cena and MVP connected with the Playa's Boot on Dave nearly winning the championship but Dave managed to get a shoulder of the canvas, the match continued on but eventually came to an end with Batista connecting with the Batista Bomb on MVP, surprisingly, MVP wasn't pinned as Cena quickly connected with the F-U on Batista and he pinned "The Animal" to retain his WWE Championship.

Edge was shown backstage looking at his World Heavyweight title. He leaves his dressing room and is met by Eve Torres. She conducts an interview with him.

A video hypes Edge and Triple H's World Heavyweight title match.

9) World Heavyweight Champion Edge defeated. Triple H following interference from Umaga to retain his World Heavyweight Championship[/color] - What a fantastic main event, both men worked their parts brilliantly and both men made you believe you were apart of the match. Back and forth, both men battled inside and outside of the ring untill there wasn't a single move left in either man's arsinal that was enough to put the other man away. Eventually, Triple H attempted a running knee but Edge collapsed out of the way causing the first and only ref bump of the night. During this, Umaga hit the ring and connected with the Samoan Spike on Triple H, this stunned Hunter enough for the World Champion to connect with the Spear and to get a slow three count from a dazed referee, After the bell, the lights went out and the crowd popped as a loud "GONG" was heard across the arena, slowly, The Undertaker made his way on to the entrance ramp. 'Taker is wearing one of those Jillian Hall mics so his voice sounds all scary and is played across the arena. 'Taker talks about how Edge will be happy to know Vickie Guerrero is no longer in captivity because he has released her to Chavo, Hawkins & Ryder, in return for this however, 'Taker now has his job back and at Summerslam will face Edge for the title in Hell...In...A...Cell. The Great American Bash goes of the air with Edge looking stunned in the ring as The Undertaker's entrance music is played across the arena.[/size][/center]

A solid PPV guys. Shelton/Kingston in a ladder match must have been full of botches...lol i kid. Anyway sounded pretty good and sucks that Benjamin lost seeing as I enjoy him more then Kingston but I guess this means Shelton is headed to Raw or SD which is even better.

I don't like the team of Finlay and the other guy who I don't know. Would've prefered Miz and Morrison winning tbh.

Show/Henry looked like MOTN... nice to get it over with and Show retaining was good. Hopefully Henry fades out of this diary soon. Loved the Referee thing and I have a good feeling it's Carlito's brother that is currently in FCW. Hopefully you put them as a team and they win the tag belts. Liked the ending to the match as well, well done.

Not really liking a no-name like Danielson against a megastar like Jericho in the WWE but obviously it looked like an awesome match, just something I doubt we would see in the WWE.

Edge retaining his WWE title was a suprise as I thought the Game would win it tbh. Glad Edge was the winner though. Umaga/HHH has been done to death so hopefully you do something different with the two.
