World Wrestling Federation News: - As previously reported several months ago, Chris Benoit is scheduled to begin with the WWF following SummerSlam. It is expected that the vignettes will air after SummerSlam so he isn’t forgotten while the hype for the pay per view event occurs. According to sources, he will pushed in the upper mid-card level of the card but perhaps not immediately. It’s not known if he will be a heel or face. - Officials are very happy with how well Ron Simmons has connected with the fans. They felt that Crush wasn’t succeeding at maintaining his push, and thus Simmons has been put in the place that Crush would’ve had if everything had gone according to plan. - Despite Ted DiBiase still teaming with IRS, it is expected that by the fall/winter months DiBiase will be branching off into a singles push, as will IRS. They are back teaming together to keep them relevant on television and could still team up on occasion. The team will not be fully disbanded. - There will be a stipulation added to the Undertaker/Bigelow match at SummerSlam. However, it will not be a casket match. - There have been discussion about possibly turning Razor Ramon baby face. - It is being rumored that WWF programming will feature more segments following SummerSlam. Typically, RAW has 6-7 segments but with an increase time slot to an hour and half that could lad to 8-10 segments. The same goes for Superstars and Wrestling Challenge. - Speaking of Wrestling Challenge, the show has been suffering in the ratings and could be possibly pulled off television. It is being suggested to start airing more memorable main events for a few months to regain an audience. - Below, is the projected card for WWF SummerSlam 1993 on August 30th. Already announced: WWF World Champion Bret Hart vs. Lex Luger WWF Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels vs. Randy Savage WWF World Tag Team Champions the Steiner Brothers vs. the Natural Disasters Steel Cage Match: Mr. Perfect vs. Ric Flair The Undertaker vs. Bam-Bam Bigelow Ron Simmons vs. Yokozuna Projected to be announced soon: Diesel vs. Tatanka Crush vs. Jerry Lawler Jeff Jarrett & Money Inc. vs. Owen Hart & Smoking Gunns Also, it is being rumored there will be a eight man tag added to the card to put several wrestlers on the card to give them a WrestleMania like payday. It is being rumored that Razor Ramon and Marty Jannetty will lead the teams. [/font]

I don’t get why Foley would care about not winning last week when he has a title match this week anyway. Just seems kind of foolish. For some reason I didn’t like the opening promo, something about it didn’t click. I really don’t want to see Taker/Kane continue because I don’t believe Kane has even beaten Taker in this diary. If Kane does win the championship and wrestles Taker I hope he gets a win over him, at some point. But I hope its later down the road so they can both feud with different people for awhile. As much as I hate Owen losing to Bradshaw, it makes sense so that Shamrock can have a new challenger. Seems like Owen is being shuffled down the card. Fully expected the Nation to win the match. I think you are keeping the Outlaws heels but by since they would be more popular than the Nation they should play the tweener role. Wish that Scorpio would’ve gotten a longer run with the title. Nice segment to give Bradshaw some advantage with his feud against Shamrock. Rock/Snow seemed like filler. Fully expect Rock to go over next week. The McMahon segment seemed pretty repetitive to me and I didn’t think Taker needed to come out since he said the exact same thing. Funk winning is fine, I guess. I fully expect a Taker/Jack match now. I figured there would be a no contest finish, but it makes sense if you want Jack to be strong.
Overall, it seemed like a rather lackluster show to me. I like the Bradshaw push, though.

I expect big things here. Considering the roster is amazingly deep, I think you'll have no problem booking some good stuff.
good luck!

Why not make a league for running diaries based on a panel? Just something different from HOF and Spotlight. Also, it's bugged me how there is only nine HOF inductions a year. I think that is a good idea. Especially when it involves diaries that have been around for awhile.

- an official sign-up diary, e.g. SFF. - a cap on the number of diaries you can start in a certain period.- a cap on the number of certain diaries. I'm sick of re-reading WWE 2011 every day. It's mind-numbing.- more competitions like SWA. Book off return, perhaps? - maybe some kind of board promotion - banners, sigs, avatars, etc. - to attract new members. By the way, if that company idea of mine gets going again, dibs on Chairman. ; [ - The first of the bolded is great, since it would force people to actually stick with there booking. I wonder how many people were doing 2011, then stop doing WWE 2011 because the Rock came back, and then started a new one with Rock in it instead of booking him into the diary themselves. - That will be difficult to do. The more diaries of a period there are, the less likely I am going to read them, though. Esp. when the ideas are really close to what is currently going on.

If people say the reply for reply thing won't work, then they should never complain about not getting replies. People try to develop ways to get replies, but people don't want to return a reply they are given. I'll never understand it.

I would love to see that or a newer version of that back and would deffo put my name down for it. However, I don't know if people would want to keep up SWA, that and thier own diary. Just seems a bit much if you ask me. I think there's no real need to plan anything because SWA is running ok at the moment. The thing I would impliment in something to reward updating diaries and a fair system of replies. Don't know how these would work but possibly a Reply for Reply group who sign up to reply to everyone's diaries in the group. That way everyone in that group gets lots of replies. If you don't reply to someone's show then they don't reply to yours for 2 shows. Maybe its a bit Nazi-ish but I'm just brainstorming ideas. I actually like the group idea and think its a very good idea.

Yeah, it's summer, exams are happening, I'd have to think these are playing a factor in board being dead. Besides, it's only been a day since DTP posted the show. Patience!

Kings Court w/ Lex Luger: Jerry Lawler conducted an interview with fellow king, Lex Luger. Lawler put over Luger as his personal hero for attacking Bret Hart after their tag match and said that he couldn’t wait for Luger to beat Hart when it matters at SummerSlam. Lawler also asked about the new submission move he unveiled at SNME and put on Hart. Luger thanks Lawler for what he has to say and finds it refreshing that someone has finally realized that Bret Hart is no match to him. Luger talks about the submission move that he has named the Torture Rack. Luger states that the move is far more damaging than the Sharpshooter and no one will be able to break free from the hold. Luger tells Lawler that with the addition of the submission hold, he will be unbeatable and will become the WWF World Champion! 3. Tatanka defeated Mark Ming in 1:47 following a Samoan Drop. 4. Ron Simmons Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Ron Simmons who was upset about Crush being taken out of action thanks to Yokozuna. Simmons notes that Yokozuna has put Jim Duggan and Crush on the shelf and it seems that no one wants to step up and take him on. Well, Simmons says that he is stepping up and challenges Yokozuna to a fight at SummerSlam. Simmons finishes off saying that he isn’t going to give up until Yokozuna is defeated. 5. Jim Neidhart defeated Joey Maggs in 2:05 following a running power slam. During the bout, pre-tape comments from Jeff Jarrett were aired.

Hart believes there is a way out of every move and will find way to counter the Torture Rack. Hart assures the fans that he will walk out of SummerSlam with the WWF World Champion around his waist. 3. Jerry Lawler defeated the Kamikaze Kid in 2:46 following a pile driver. 4.

McMahon is clearly happy to see that the Undertaker is back in the WWF and tells Bigelow that it looks like he is going to be meeting the Undertaker at SummerSlam. Bigelow tells McMahon that he isn’t afraid of the Undertaker and that he was simply caught off guard by the return. Bigelow tries to convince McMahon that he isn’t intimdated by Taker by saying that he has already signed the contract and will wrestle the Undertaker at SummerSlam. He finishes off saying that he has beaten the Undertaker before and he will do it again and this time, the Undertaker will not comeback from it! 3. Doink the Clown defeated Jim Powers in 3:17 following the Whoopee Cushion. 4.

I liked the last man standing match to kick off the show. Quick excitement to the show is always a good thing, especially if it doesn’t happen often. The legacy promo towards Stephanie was alright, I suppose. Punk over Brown isn’t surprising at all. I’d love to see a Punk/Cena feud in 2008. Rey/Regal would be a fun match and the idea of a three way between Punk, Rey and Burke over the IC Title is interesting. I enjoyed the RVD/JBL/Shane/Vince segment and I might read previous shows to fully grasp what is going on between Shane and Vince. Very interesting segment. Nice title win for Michaels and Danielson . I had a feeling we would at least see the tag titles on the line considering Mike’s statement. Very nice ending to the show. I hope that MVP retains over Cena at the pay per view. Solid show, Hammers. Enjoyable read with some interesting feuds taking place.

I don’t recall anything good ever happening on Nitro when it was only an hour in 1997 or 1998 for that matter. Lets see how this starts off. I thought the promo to start off with Bischoff and Hogan was written very well. You really have a good understanding of their characters. Adams face turn? Interesting.. I really like your promo writing. The Jericho stuff was very entertaining. I guess Nash and Hall are faces? Seemed kind of odd that they would just accept the rejection. No surprise that the main ended in a no contest. Interested as to who the mole is in the New World Order. Decent start to the diary.. Looking forward to the three hour Nitros to see how those go!

Seemed like a basic promo for Austin and McMahon. Nothing all that special, really. For some reason I really like the Mid-South Connection tag team. Glad to see them getting wins. Nice win for Tajiri in a match that would surely kick major ass on television. Owen/Pac should be a enjoyable match. I’m not big on the Rock N’ Roll Express winning matches in 1998 over a younger, more valuable team in Too Much. They don’t seem to really fit with the era. I hope you keep with the stipulation that Rock won’t get another IC title shot, as long as Shamrock is the champ. Seemed like a decent bout. Not surprised to see the recently debuted Venis to beat Mero. Very interested to see a Shamrock/Bradshaw feud. I actually really like to see Bradshaw get a singles push during this time. I thought he could’ve been a great singles heel in 1996, so kudos to you for doing this. I really don’t like Sabu talking. That bugs me to no end. Wasn’t interested in the Outlaws/Headbangers match. I like the idea of a Funk/HHH I Quit match. I fully expect Funk to retire. I don’t get the point of the main event if Jack is wrestling Austin next week anyway. Seemed kind of pointless and was booked just to have a main event for the show. Overall, a lot of feud progression and some decent matches. Good stuff, Dan!

Should be a good main event between Austin and HHH. Good win for Jarrett and I didn’t realize that Dan Severn was in this diary. Funny segment with Blackman and Snow. I feel like you are doing good things with the comedy character that Snow played at the time. Not a big fan with the kidnapping of Head. For some reason I just don’t like it, though it makes sense to continue the feud, I just hope it doesn’t turn into a comedy feud. Obvious that Rey and Taka were going over. LOL. The Godfather debuts. Would be interesting to see Godfather feud with the Nation after SummerSlam. Cactus/Shamrock is a great first hour main event with the right guy going over. Good segment to advance the Rock/Taker feud. Really liked that Rock avoided the choke slam. I hope the Mero/Sable stuff ends soon. Pretty basic promo by the Outlaws. I’m sure the tag match would’ve been a decent bout. I’m really liking the Jack/Austin feud. Nice to see a pin fall outcome for the main event. Fantastic aftermath.. Psycho Cactus is the way to go! Very good RAW!

I'll eventually get to the replies I owe. Sorry for the delay on those. Just haven't been up to leaving quality replies.
Hopefully will have an update to WWF 1993 up in a week or two.
