Re: WWE: A Strong Response
THE BIG RED MACHINE RETURNS WITH A BANG!
As we enter the early hours of Monday morning, many fans will be just resting their heads against the pillow having witnessed one of the biggest shocks in the history of the Royal Rumble late last night as Kane returned to earn himself a title shot at Wrestlemania 24!
For weeks we have seen video clips that have seemed to indicate that The Big Red Machine was making a return, with his mask too, but no one anticipated that he would return last night, let alone dominate the Royal Rumble match and eliminate his brother and last years winner, The Undertaker to end the show. With Wrestlemania just over two months away, Kane has a decision to make. Will he stay on Smackdown and challenge Shawn Michaels for the World Heavyweight Championship, who himself was victorious, beating Batista and Edge to retain his title. Or will Randy Orton’s WWE Championship be in the monsters sights having seen Orton defeat John Cena in a TLC match last night?
Long time no read, but since my GCSE's are nearlly finished expect me to get back to reviewing this thread. Skimmed through the Royal Rumble and looked to be a very good PPV. The Championship matches were very enjoyable and Kane winning the Rumble was pretty orgasmic. Will be interesting to see who Kane faces for the title. Will leave review when you get Raw up.
Location: Hopefully I can put America in this little box one day, but for the moment, I'll have to put the United Kingdom.

Re: WWE: A Strong Response
Congratulations on another award Nige, you really are improving a lot in BTB. I have skimmed through the Royal Rumble and it was brilliantly written as well as booked. I'm the same as Kane in a way. Now that I have my laptop fixed I'm gonna start getting back into this thread.
I'm so pleased that you're using Kane in a propper way. It should be great to witness the fallout and his huge desicion. I'm expecting you won't make it clear till a bit closer to Mania. Anyway looking forward to Raw

And the only way to beat your opponent is to stuff him down a shark's throat, and pin the shark. Wouldn't that be a hoot?"

Right here we go finally for my review of the Royal Rumble …
Nice opening package as I would expect and well it buildup the Royal Rumble itself, I am a fan of building the matches as well, which you did but wasn’t much detail but still it was satisfactorily . Well down to the first match, not surprised this was the opening contest it is the strongest feud bar the World Titles, so you want to get the crowd going probably. It starts quick and the whisper in the wind is brought out in less than 30 seconds, surprised, but it works well as this match will defiantly have a quick pace. I see the text is spread out a fair bit, with two lines between each, just thought I’d note that. Back to the action, lots of faced pace moves and counter, I see Punk hits a Rock Bottom, strange using that, I think you should have just called it by the move, and maybe have Rock Bottom in brackets but that doesn’t really matter. Now that’s weird ref bump, don’t understand why he is that close but now this gives me a felling of a Punk win, by dirty tactics. Oooooo Sunny screws Jeff! Thought it was going to be a crappy end with Punk just hitting him with the belt but it turned out better with Sunny completely coming out of nowhere for the heel turn, so this feud is far from done, has been going quite long now, I think one more PPV and it ends.
Nice segment, the bit with Shane and Orton was cringe worthy haha. Woooo! I wish Flair won the Rumble . Chavo really has no chance tonight, Doane … sorry Dykstra is just too good a champion, and the match was just like before, very quick and counters all over the place. It was not as good as Jeff-Punk in quality and the feud is not as good, but they put in a good show. Some nice moves hit, namely the three amigos. The ending seemed to put Kenny over very strong for a heel, I would have expected a cheating pin or something like that but this made him look totally dominant. Chavo really doesn’t have many complaints and now hopefully Kenny moves on to bigger and better things! Very good match. Good job.
Shawn Michaels owns tonight, Regal is a heel GM yeah? But bans the heel’s sidekick, maybe Regal’s a tweener? Awesome interview thought, Michaels on top class form. Meh random bit with Cena seemed it was added just to hype the match a little longer. No harm done there. How can Kennedy open the door with his eyes shut then see Chris Jericho to make him shocked? Didn’t understand that, or is he shutting his eyes after seeing Y2J? Meh. I’ve waited for someone to use the Kennedy Kennedy thing since Triple H did it a while ago, funny stuff. Chris Jericho’s insults suck but that’s just him. Nice Rumble hype man, always love these segments. Now the Triple Threat lets go! Reading it, it was the best so far, moonsault in to power slam is big spot moment, superb stuff. The match was frecking epic and was the best so far, all the signature moves pulled off and I really got into it, guess that’s why you were writer of the month. Michael’s ducked a spear? The ending was good, seemed a little force, would have thought Tista might go for a clothesline then Michaels ducked it, and then SCM but the Spear thing worked just a s well.
Haha – “Mum it’s great to see you”. “Shane be quiet” … owned. Hmm god segment and this is getting interesting, Linda vs. Vince. RAW is going to be good (Y). Punk and Triple H had a little confrontation at Cyber Sunday if I remember so there quite good together, I don’t like Sunny, she’s seemed like a bitch in this, she would have got a lot of heat. You really pulled out the move set of Cena and Orton, with the likes of Orton pulling out an overdrive, from back in the day. The match had some big spots, Cena taking most of the bumps, especially the RKO thought a table. I think there should however been a few more tables used, also the RKO was a big spot but for a TLC I thought maybe there could have been a bigger one, but it still was big, but something like a RKO off a ladder would have been bloody big. Also I wanted a ‘superstar falls off ladder though tables spot’ but there wasn’t . But still it was a great match and nicely rounded off the matches before the biggy. Orton holds the title for a longer, so that’s all good, hopefully Cena will continue the feud.
MVP running his mouth = ratings, well done, good bit before the Rumble. Not sure how to makes comments on the Rumble, so I’ll do what I did for JayBeeLoser’s Rumble.
There didn’t seem to be much start power until Triple H coming in so I expect him to make some eliminations. Bringing back old Kane, makes him more of a monster, don’t think this could ever happen in real life, but this is BTB. Kane goes mental and I think he could win this haha, I know. Kane and Taker squaring off was cool, these two could (will) go all the way. Shelton ****s the eliminations party, haha. Ric Flair gets rid of the two young guns, good to put him over for a little more. Trips gets the upper hand in the little feud as well, but then the re-entered JBL gets him out, I love the re-entered stuff (Y) . Really good end with Kane and Taker, since the number 30 you kept going for a long time and then the big decision giving Kane the win. Yes, it’s a brave move and you will have to build him up a little more over the next couple of weeks, but I feel you have the talent to pull it off. A great rumble man, like the others have said it is the best PPV you have done so far imo!!! Top stuff. (Note: I haven’t check my spelling and grammar in here because I wanted to get this up asap, sorry)

28th January 2008
Madison Square Garden
New York City, New York
TIME FOR THE RUMBLE FALLOUT!!
BIG RED MACHINE SHOCKS US ALL, IS HE DONE? With all the predictions made over the weekend as to who would win the Royal Rumble last night, no one guessed that the eventual winner would be “The Big Red Machine” Kane. Stunning the entire audience of Madison Square Garden, the returning Kane along with his mask, dominated the Royal Rumble match for the majority of the match before eliminating his brother, The Undertaker to remain the last man standing. However, most importantly of all, Kane now has a guaranteed title shot at Wrestlemania. The question on everyone’s mind now must be whether Kane will remain on Smackdown and challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship, or will he shock Madison Square Garden for a second successive night by chasing Randy Orton and the WWE Championship?
Tune in to Raw tonight and make sure you find out the answer!
NEW HEAD OF AUTHORITY TO BE UNVEILED!
Linda McMahon warned he husband last Monday night that she had something in store for him at the Royal Rumble, and boy did she ever! With Mr. McMahon’s sons preparing for the Royal Rumble match, Linda went to them and told them exactly what the bombshell was. She told them that with both Vince, Shane and Stephanie McMahon abusing their power for their own good, the Board of Directors were forced into action. With a conflict of interest from both parties, Linda told them that the board’s decision was to introduce a new Independent Head of Authority on Raw.
It appears that any power trip is over, but who will be standing in the middle of the family feud when they start their role tonight?
ORTON REACHES UP FOR BIGGEST EVER WIN
Randy Orton said going in to his Tables, Ladders and Chairs match with John Cena last night, that if he could emerge victorious, it would be the biggest victory of his career. And unfortunately, it seems that The Legend Killer’s ego will continue to grow as he did what he said he was going to, beating John Cena. It was an incredible match with both men fighting like lions, and only after a DDT through the announce table and an RKO through another table, Orton was able to climb up to another level, holding on to his WWE Championship.
And tonight, we will hear from The Legend Killer himself in what we are being told will be a victory address. It seems that we’re going to be hearing a lot more from him this week than usual!
JBL STOPS THE GAME
The McMahon Men have had it all their own way for the most part recently, but last night everything exploded in front of our very eyes. After hearing Linda’s announcement earlier, both JBL and Shane McMahon went in to the Royal Rumble match with one plan, eliminate Triple H and ensure he doesn’t get a title shot at Wrestlemania 24. After spending almost all their time to do just that, The Game was able to eliminate them both, however it was a move that cost him dear. Taking his focus away from the match after forcing JBL out of the match, he seemed to revel in the moment before he turned round into Umaga’s fury. Triple H fell over the top rope, but hung on to the apron for dear life, only for JBL to drag him off and down to the floor, controversially eliminating Triple H from the match and the Wrestlemania main event. The duo then went at it round ringside with security trying and failing to separate them.
You have to wonder just what will go down tonight when both these two huge personalities step foot back inside MSG!
JEFF SCREWED OUT OF THE IC TITLE
Jeff Hardy has had it tough lately with CM Punk doing everything he can to put him down and humiliate him. It seemed though that Jeff had support in the shape of Sunny, that was until last night when Punk’s cruel scheme was exposed. In what was an incredible contest between two hungry competitors, it looked like Punk was going to defeat Jeff when he lifted him on to his shoulders for the GTS, but an inadvertent kick to the referee’s head, changed anything that would have been honest about the match. It was then that Sunny struck, sliding Jeff’s title into the ring, It looked like she had accidentally slid the belt too far as it ended up in the grasp of CM Punk, and she went as far to step in to the ring and grab the belt back. Just when we thought she was going to strike back against the dastardly challenger, she turned round and took Jeff’s head off, resulting in the Intercontinental Championship switching to CM Punk’s occupancy.
Will we find out why Sunny turned on Jeff in his hour of need? There may not be time however, as Punk has been forced in to making his first title defence tonight against Rey Mysterio tonight!
TAG TITLES ON THE LINE
It appears that CM Punk’s Intercontinental Championship won’t be the only title contested tonight as we have been informed that Paul London & Brian Kendrick will be putting their World Tag Team titles on the line against the former champions, Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch. Will we see the high flying duo’s title reign extend, or will The Redneck Wrecking Crew take back the gold?
PLUS
Carlito and his brother Eddie have sure made life difficult for Cody Rhodes since he and Kelly Kelly sparked a mutual attraction several weeks back, something that The Colon Brothers have found difficult to accept since Eddie’s advances towards her back fired. Last Monday night, they yet again attacked Cody for no real reason, just as love young’s dream realised their true feelings for each other. This time however, Cody’s luck was in as Kofi Kingston heard the commotion in the hall and left his dressing room, cutting the attack short. We have been advised that after last week’s show, Carlito challenged Kofi to a match for this week, with Kofi accepting. It looks like Cody might well have an ally to fend off the cowardly brothers cool!
Chris Jericho and Mr. Kennedy have never been shy of hiding their feelings of each other, and last night they went at it in the Royal Rumble match, with Kennedy making up for his loss to Jericho at Saturday Night’s Main Event last December by eliminating Y2J from the match and preventing any chance of Jericho headlining Wrestlemania this year. How will Jericho respond to that tonight?
Elijah Burke was also on the wrong end of an elimination by his least favourite Raw superstar, Rey Mysterio. How bad will Elijah take that knock?
CONFIRMED FOR RAW THIS WEEK
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk (c)
WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Paul London & Brian Kendrick (c) vs. The Redneck Wrecking Crew
S1 (Opening Segment) = The video was well put together, but, the way it was presented down played its quality. Cole & Coach were tight, so were JR & King in welcoming us to what promises to be a tremendous event indeed.
** (CM Punk v. JHardy - IC Title) = Your match format reminded me a lot of how matches in the Attitude Era went down. No rest holds whatsoever, just, straight away action. Worked for this match, as it had a heated feud attached to it. There were little 'mmmh' moments here and there, like a Stomp usualy is delivered when someone's down on the mat. And especially a stomp to the chest while someone is up is almost like a big boot. Also, I would have liked the Double Underhook Backbreaker to be called as the ''Welcome to Chicago M@therf@ck@r''. Still, the match and the turn in itself was a great way to start off the show with a big bang (Ohh, and the Rock Bottom Punk utilizes is called a Uranage Slam). I'm not too sure I like Sunny & Punk being involved sexually/romantically, since Sunny is a veteran of the business, I don't think she needs to prove herself that much, last I heard she was either engaged, married or seeing someone in real life, so, I don't know (even if this is all made up) she'd feel about doing that angle actually. Still, Punk & Sunny as heels works for me, as long as they keep their mouths to each other, because mostly, Punk in a romantic angle is kind of like so totally not CM Punk like. But CM Punk deserves that belt he won under shady circumstances and I hope we'll see a rematch between the two soon because they had a good match here at the Rumble.
S3 (Backstage, EdgeShane + Orton) = Good promo, Orton was on the weird and scripted side of things, but the Rated RKO reunion was cool. Although it lingered on a bit, this was a good PPV like promo, definetely.
S4 (Outside, Flair & Batista) = A bit out of character for both men, but I guess since they were outside and not yet in the building, this was kind of your reality tv like moment of the show. Good nonetheless to see Flair & Batista together.
S5 (Chavito v. Doane - CW Title) = A bit too much of a spotfest for my liking, especially since we saw pretty much the exact same thing from the opening bout. It would seem also that there was no real beginning and that Chavo just started this matchup by going over to Doane and punching away at him, mmh. It was a see saw contest all the way through the end, the coolest thing about this match was the I miss my top rope move and you do too portion of the match. I didn't particularly like the ballshot finish, considering the definition of the title at stakes, I would have rather liked to see the actual wrestling acumen of either men come into play at the end, but I guess you're really pushin this feud further and further more, so I guess it served its purpose on that level.
S6 (Interview, Matthews & HBK + Cena) = Good interview, Cena outshined Michaels a bit but I really didn't believe a word he said when he said he'd be blowing the roof of off MSG with his performance, if anything, as a face, Cena relies heavily on his opponents to sell for him. I haven't really read any of your singles matches with Cena so I hope with see the Cena of old without his routine 4 moves of utter doom to finish off Orton tonight, granted its a TLC match, that could help, still, good interview and good contrast with the Edge & Orton and now HBK & Cena segments.
S7 (Backstage, Regal/Maria/Michelle + Kennedy + Y2J) = Jericho was a bit shaky but the interaction in itself between Chris & Ken was cool. It looks like both Jericho & Kennedy will enter the Rumble late, so they could easily be serious winners of the 2008 Royale Rumble.
S8 (Video Promo, Triple Threat WHC Match) = Excellent way to bring up the matchup, very professional like.
S9 (Edge v. Batista v. HBK - WH Title) = Really much better match up than the previous two, in terms of really putting a lot of effort in it, it really showed. It was still filled with a bit too much spotfests moments here and there, but everybody looked strong and I especially liked the ending, with flashbacks of RR 96 when Michaels Super Kicked Diesel over to the top rope and then, a sick Sweet Chin Music to Batista who was charging in with an attempted Spear! It made Michaels look maybe a bit strong in the end, but still, I guess it somewhat works as any 3-Way match is always bound to be unpredictable.
S1o (Backstage, Vinnie Mac/JBL/Shane O Mac + Linda) = The announcement is really out of left field and I cant wait to see who that independent figure head'll be. The segment in itself felt a bit rushed, still, there were some nice enough moments to not make a total blowout and just about the announcement. JBL's reaction was priceless though, the, 'What are you talking about woman'! Lol.
S11 (Backstage, Maria/Michelle/CM Punk/Sunny + HHH) = I was a bit dissapointed at the turnout of this segment. Some bits felt rushed and felt too scripted at times. Although there were so damn good parts, a shorter version of that altercation between the two would have been historic, this was meh, okay I guess, both men made some valid points towards one another, but then, you had stuff that just lingered on and went nowhere.
S12 (Cena/Orton Hype Video) = I wasn't familiar at all with how these two made it to the Rumble I was please and not so pleased to see I missed some great things between the two, especially the Survivor Series thing for Orton. Your hype videos are professional and very well put together and to the point.
S13 (Cena v. Orton - TLC WWE Title Match) = Overall match was quite good. I didn't feel the actual heated rivalry between both men, as again, there was really no one who gained any kind of advantage from this bout and it was pretty much spot after spot. The seriousness of the bout also dropped down when you talked about the Cena supporters and bashed them for no reason. Also implying that Hugo Savinovich was a ''Fatty'' for again, no apparent reason. The action in itself was pretty darn good though, some good spots, the RKO at the end was really a HOLY SHIT moment but I'll come back to that a bit later. Just want to touch first on the actual decision of making this a TLC when we barely saw tables or chairs. The match mainly revolved around the Ladder (which it should) but it would seem as though both men were more preoccupied by the title than by their rivalry, and didn't fully use the objects put at their disposal. For Cena, this match didn't top his match against Edge, especially since the finish was more of a finish I'd have booked in a normal Tables Match, still, like I said earlier, it was a HOLY SHIT moment for sure. I was a bit surprised Cena couldn't make it after the RKO, but I think the injuries weren't sold enough by Cena at that point in time, so, that's why I felt it dragged the ending a bout. Overall, like I said, this was pretty good, problem with the Rumble event, is that, no matter what the undercard is and who's booked on it and what the matches are, the Rumble match is the match everybody is looking forward too. So, I hope this will lead to a continuation from both men in this feud and that No Way Out will see these two battle it out once more.
S14 (Superstars Rumble Warmup) = Cool little feature, dig it!
S15 (Backstage, MHardy + MVP) = Cool segment there, the interaction and the in-character aspect of it were tight all the way, plus, it wasn't too long and it wasn't too short, well done. Plus, it puts emphasis on guys aren't totally top notch Main Eventers and puts them in the running for them to actually win the Rumble match.
S16 (Royal Rumble Match) = A very well written out Match. Truly outshines the whole event, but, like I said earlier, this is what is was suppose to be. All about the Rumble. It had a bit too much spots (and, at the end, I could just feel a dead crowd just sitting there and seeing yet again another move out of nowhere). Rumble usualy have more brawling and the likes cause it is quite dangerous to just go all out and with more than 10 superstars in the ring, all the moves you pulled out made it a bit unsafe and Im actually surprised no one botched and no one got hurt bad. Still, with the way things flowed so fast, and I can overlook that and say that was a very well constructed Rumble match top to bottom. (I would have payed a lot of money to see Lashley stay in this long and, just imagining the sweat dripping off him like an African downpour) I think there were only two moments in the whole match that made me yawn and it was Carlito's entrance and the way he just demolished everyone. I think the highlights of this match are definitely the great Flair/HHH team-up and the Kane arrival. I just didn't like Michael Cole's comment at the end when Kane won and I doubt giving Kane the win was the way to go for someone who's been out and gone for as long as he was in this BTB, but I trust it won't just be a normal singles match that'll involve Kane and his shot at a Main Event Championship Mania, or else, the purpose of bringing back the masked Kane really serves nothing else than using the mask to give Kane a belt or a spot in the Main Event. When it should be used to slowly build back up Kane's credibility. All in all, tremendous match, we just have to see how everything pans out in the coming weeks, leading to Wrestlemania XXIV.
OVERALL = A good show overall, like i've said, felt a lot of the matches were spotfests, still, out of what 5 matches? You had 3 *** and more matches in there so, that's cool (The opener, WHC Title Match and Rumble Match). And really, what better way to close the show than with this tremendous matchup! What's so good about the Rumble, is, that the actual match itself leads up to so many things, so I'm really looking forward to you capitalizing on all those little altercations we saw and make something out of them. Most of the non matches segments were either meh, or good, but it was your typical PPV format with different kind of WWE action. A good show overall, no doubt about that.

***CUT TO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE***
JR: Welcome everybody to Monday Night Raw, 24 hours removed from the incredible Royal Rumble we witnessed last night, where we saw one of the biggest shocks in the history of the Royal Rumble. . . Smackdown’s Kane returned and dominated the field to guarantee himself a title shot at Wrestlemania 24. The question is whether he will remain on Smackdown or come over here to Raw to challenger Randy Orton, who retained the WWE Championship last night against John Cena in an incredible Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match. . . We’ve been wondering all day as to whether Kane will be here tonight as we again come to you live from Madison Square Garden
The King: And what a show we have in store tonight JR. Not only do we have a new Intercontinental Champion in CM Punk, he will be defending his title right here tonight against Rey Mysterio
JR: Also King, I had the chance to sit down earlier today with both CM Punk and Sunny to talk about what happened last night at the culmination of the Intercontinental Championship match where Sunny screwed Jeff Hardy out of the title
The King: But JR, we know that the Intercontinental title won’t be the only championship up for grabs tonight, because Paul London and Brian Kendrick will be defending their World Tag Team titles against the former champions, Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch
JR: And of course, tonight wouldn’t be complete without us hearing from the WWE Champion Randy Orton. . .
“The Game” blasts out & Triple H storms down to ringside not looking happy at all. Wearing jeans and a T shirt, he gets a great pop as he gets in the ring and demands a microphone
Triple H: Let me cut to right to the chase. For the third time in the space of just over a month, I have been within touching distance of becoming the WWE Champion. I was so close that I could taste it. . . but we all know what happened. . . And last night, I stood in this very ring with the chance to put all that behind me and move on to the stage that I have made my own. . . Wrestlemania
***POP***
Triple H: But yet again, that didn’t happen. It didn’t happen for one simple reason. On no less than three occasions in a matter of a weeks, I have been screwed out of the title that I crave for. . . the title that I live for by a group of control hungry sons of bitches that have nothing better to do than screw up my career
***HEAT***
Triple H: But last night. . . last night it went too far, one of that group crossed the line. . . and that man is JBL
***LOTS OF BOOS***
Triple H: You know, just when I thought I had gotten past him and Shane McMahon, eliminating the both of them, deep down I thought that the Royal Rumble was mine, I could smell it. . . But for one lapse of concentration, I gave JBL the opportunity he must have dreamt of the night before, a chance I never give away. I got caught up in all the crap that has gone down in the last few months and I took my eye off the ball for that one split second, the split second that almost cost me the Royal Rumble match. . . You might be wondering why I say the world almost, but trust me, I’m right. I admit I took my eye off the ball, but I composed myself, only to turn round in to a great big mammoth, who again, almost eliminated me from the match
***HEAT***
Triple H: Like I said guys. . . almost. I landed on the apron, I didn’t hit the floor. I regained my balance and was about to step back through these ropes and book my path to Wrestlemania when John Bradshaw Layfield, the bastard son of Vincent Kennedy Crapbag McMahon dragged me out of the match and my title match at Wrestlemania
***TONS OF HEAT***
Triple H walks over to the same ropes that he was eliminated at last night
Triple H: It was right here where JBL, the very man I eliminated just minutes earlier, reached up and took away my opportunity that was stolen from under my nose yet again
***HEAT***
Triple H: I think you all know how the story goes from here. . . I have just one thing left to say. . . John, get your ass down here right now
***BIG POP***
The Game waits about five seconds with no response
Triple H: COME ON JOHN. IF YOU DON’T COME DOWN HERE, I’M COMIN’ BACK THERE, NOW BRING YOUR SORRY ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW
“Longhorn” hits and JBL’s limo enters the arena. A very happy Shane McMahon gets out first, followed by a smiling Vince and then a smug JBL to a ton of heat
JBL already has a microphone and talks as he walks to the ring
JBL: Hunter, what happened last night was just plain retribution. You took away my dream and I took yours
***HEAT***
Shane and Vince climb up the steps and then through the ropes, with JBL following them in
JBL: Hunter, if you want to find someone to blame for all of this, you should look no further than yourself. Let me remind you, it wasn’t me that insinuated that Hornswoggle was my father’s son to make the most successful business man on this earth look like an idiot in front of the world. . . However Hunter, last night it was me that made you look like a fool in this very same arena when I took you in my hands, then pulled you and your dream away from you
***HEAT***
JBL: Not only did you fall from the ring, you fell out of the Wrestlemania main event
***HEAT***
Triple H: Whatever I did was to teach Vince a lesson, but tonight I want you just mentioned. . . retribution
***POP***
Triple H: I taught your dad a lesson and now I’m gonna teach you a lesson. . . What I want is me and you one on one tonight
***HUGE POP***
JBL: Hunter, as much as I would enjoy carrying on where I left off last night, it’s just not going to happen
***HEAT***
Linda McMahon’s music hits as she walks out to the stage with a microphone, making The McMahon Men very angry as they look on from the ring
***POP***
Linda McMahon: Gentleman, like I told my beloved husband last night, any match making privileges you had, have now been removed. The power trip has gone too far and as I stated last night, a new independent Head of Authority will be taking control, starting tonight
***BIG POP***
Linda McMahon: This means Hunter, if you want to face JBL tonight, it will be up to the new Head of Authority to decide that, not the pair of you
Vince tells JBL to give him the mic, which he does
Vince McMahon: Linda, whoever the hell this person is, do you really believe for one second they are going to be able to control The McMahon Men? It just can’t happen Linda, end of story
Linda McMahon: Oh I disagree entirely. . . Business is business Vince, not personal like it has been thanks to you over the last few weeks. . . And you know, it was because of you Vince and a significant business decision you made nearly six years ago that made the Board of Director’s stand up and take notice. When a decision had to be made, you went against your own personal feelings and made the right decision for the good of the business. . . ironically something that has remained firmly in mind with the Board. . . That decision Vince was such a difficult but yet successful one that it has been implemented for a second time, as of right now in fact
***POP***
Vince McMahon: Damn it Linda, who is it?
Linda McMahon: Vince since you don’t want me to keep you from it any longer, I will simply let actions speak louder than words
“I’m Back” hits & Eric Bischoff walks out to an incredibly good reception with some obvious boos too
He has a huge smile on his face as he stands at the top of the stage, shaking hands with Linda before she passes him her microphone and walks to the back. The McMahon’s look on in shock while Triple H doesn’t seem to bat an eyelid
Eric Bischoff: Vince it’s funny don’t you think? I never used to believe in the saying what goes around comes around, but I guess nothing could be appropriate right now could it?
***POP***
Eric Bischoff: And what comes around for you Vince McMahon, is me, your worst nightmare, ERIC BISCHOFF
***MIXED RECEPTION***
Eric Bischoff: However, as Linda quite rightly pointed out, I am not just the Head of Authority for Raw, but I am the Independent Head of Authority for Raw. I have been told in no uncertain terms that any conflict of interest would see me removed from my new position, so independent Vince I shall remain. . . I must tell you and everyone here that everything that has happened between us is ancient history. . . The time you brought me back here and made a fool of me, helping my nephew shave my head bald, force me to have my head shoved up another man’s ass and fire me while putting me in a dumpster for the second time are all in the past Vince
WWE: A Strong Response
Re: WWE: A Strong Response
. Will be interesting to see who Kane faces for the title. Will leave review when you get Raw up.
. Well down to the first match, not surprised this was the opening contest it is the strongest feud bar the World Titles, so you want to get the crowd going probably. It starts quick and the whisper in the wind is brought out in less than 30 seconds, surprised, but it works well as this match will defiantly have a quick pace. I see the text is spread out a fair bit, with two lines between each, just thought I’d note that. Back to the action, lots of faced pace moves and counter, I see Punk hits a Rock Bottom, strange using that, I think you should have just called it by the move, and maybe have Rock Bottom in brackets but that doesn’t really matter. Now that’s weird ref bump, don’t understand why he is that close but now this gives me a felling of a Punk win, by dirty tactics. Oooooo Sunny screws Jeff! Thought it was going to be a crappy end with Punk just hitting him with the belt but it turned out better with Sunny completely coming out of nowhere for the heel turn, so this feud is far from done, has been going quite long now, I think one more PPV and it ends. 
. Chavo really has no chance tonight, Doane … sorry Dykstra is just too good a champion, and the match was just like before, very quick and counters all over the place. It was not as good as Jeff-Punk in quality and the feud is not as good, but they put in a good show. Some nice moves hit, namely the three amigos. The ending seemed to put Kenny over very strong for a heel, I would have expected a cheating pin or something like that but this made him look totally dominant. Chavo really doesn’t have many complaints and now hopefully Kenny moves on to bigger and better things! Very good match. Good job.
