Postage and RKO920 Present: WWE, Back in Business



This me RKO920 and my self's second and hopefully final attempt at doing BTB. Unlike our first try we have improved and have a few shows all written up and ready to be read by the reviewers. Last time we were confused and rushed and we eventually gave up do to no readers. Hopefully this one will attract more of you and we guarantee this will be a freaking awesome BTB.

________________________________________________________________________________________________


Back story:


Ratings were low and merchandise sales plummeted, desperate times called for desperate measures. Vince stripped all the champions of their titles and took the whole roster and put them on the free agent list.

On a historic edition of Monday Night Raw last week Vince McMahon and Smackdown's General Manager William Regal drafted various Superstars throughout the night. Some drafts shocked fans and had them scratching their heads. As Smackdown had a break that Tuesday night after the draft with a clip show of the best of show. That Monday the WWE prepares to start a new era of wrestling with new storyline, feuds that we have never thought were possible. Vince promised in a press conference that he will bring WWE back to it's glory days with more matches, more drama and more of the edgy, and sexual themes. Sorry kids.

Raw Preview


The start of Mr. McMahon's so called new era will begin no place else but Save Mart Center in Fresno, California.

Up for Grabs...Go get it

After last weeks historic draft we see the return of some of Raw's finest and some new faces as well. After the loss of former WWE champion Triple H to Smackdown who will be Raws new top dog? Everyman is looking to take that spot but with Raw's newest superstar "The Undertaker", that will indeed be a difficult task to do. Who will step up to the plate to take the Vacated WWE Championship?

Battle for Gold

Raws got lots of hot, young and fresh talent all looking to make a name for themselves on the A show but who has has it takes to be the man who outlasts the rest? A special 10 man battle royal for the Intercontinental Championship will take place this Monday. Can Chris Jericho take back the title he never lost?

It takes two to make a thing go right

Raws tag team division has become probably the biggest division in all of the WWE. The Intercontinental championship isn't the only title up for grabs tonight but so is the tag team championships. In a special 4 way tag team tornado elimination match, we will crown new champions in style. Vince can take credit for thinking up such a match. Who's gonna walk out of Fresno the new tag team champions?

Diva Fever

Lucky for all the Raw viewers Vince was able to snag some hot and sexy girls to be on our brand. But in that ring it will be all seriousness as all of our 6 divas will battle in a 6 women tag team match. The winners are going to be in for a surprise according in acting GM Vince.

Chairman knows Best

After all the planning Vince has made to make Raw perfect he isn't taking a break just yet. He will start out Raw this Monday with a announcement to the fans. What does he have on his mind?

Tune in to witness sports-entertainment history on Monday Night Raw at 9/8 CT only on the USA Network.

Antgreen

He basicaly said it for me, I thought your old thread was going to succeed but It didn't so I would like to see this on work.

Good Luck!

Rellish

This BTB is looking pretty good so far. Triple H moving to SmackDown and Undertaker moving to RAW were two surprise drafts. From what I can tell in the preview, Undertaker will probably become the WWE Champion on RAW and Triple H the World Heavyweight Champion on SmackDown. All of the announced matches look pretty good.

I wish you good luck with this BTB! When can we expect the first show?

"No Chance in Hell" hits and Vince McMahon comes out with a strut of accomplishment and happiness as he makes his way to the ring grabs the mic and enjoys the crowds mixed reaction and a few fans bowing down.


Vince: Thank you, and welcome to what might certainly be the greatest edition of Monday Night Raw ever.


Crowd pops


Vince: As we all saw Smackdown’s General Manager William Regal and Myself choose our draft picks to come to our respective rosters. After all the hype I think the WWE has benefited from this entire roster draft and hopefully we can start a new way of entertainment and a new way we watch professional wrestling today. A new era if you will. An era that will have everyone talking at the water coolers in the playground the next day.


Vince: Now as the temporary acting GM of Raw I was able to snag some pretty big names for all of our Raw fans to show my appreciation of you all watching this product and supporting us after all these years. Names like The Undertaker…


Crowd pops


Vince: John Cena


Crowd pops…


Vince: Even Y2J Chris Jericho himself…


Crowd pops


Vince: With all the previous champions stripped of their titles and everyone on the rosters on the same level we will begin to crown our newest champions and contenders tonight. Starting with a 10-man over the top rope battle royal for the Intercontinental championship.


Crowd pops


Vince: You all like that don’t ya? Well you don’t get to where I am today with being simple minded that’s for sure. You need to think outside the box, be innovative and smart. Like me and my family. That’s why you are all making 30 grand a year sitting in all those seats and I’m here in the middle of this ring having more money then all of yours put combined.


Crowd boos


Vince: Face the facts people, no matter how much you don’t like me you all still tune in to give me the love of my life and that’s the mon-eh.


Boos


Vince: Speaking of poor unemployed bastards, oh wait I wasn’t? Ok then lets get on the topic. Who here wants Rick Flair back one more night?


Crowd cheers with a combination of Wooo’s


Vince: Well that’s too bad…the old crow isn’t ever coming back. There’s a better chance of Hogan taking on Andre at Wrestlemania 30.

Boos


Vince: The reason I brought up Flair is to remind you all that his DvD stylin N’ Profilin his way to success is making it’s way to a DVD store near you and I want Rick to come and pay and the fans a visit. But he has refused offers that my secretary has sent saying he loves the fans but cannot face me after making the lose and retire stipulation a while back.


Mixed reaction


Vince: Who does he think he is, Bret Hart? Regardless I am going to get Flairs wrinkly butt to a WWE arena and continue to show my appreciation to the fans.


Vince: Now on to my special announcement I...


"My Time is Now" hits and John Cena makes his way to the ring with a mixed reaction from the crowd.


Cena: Woah, woah Vince, hold your horses there tough guy. You came out here and gave your little speech on all this appreciating the fans crap, then you talked about how we are going in a new era, how were changing Monday nights, how your going to go cry backstage. How your going to go cheat on your wife with Nunzio and how your going to shave in places were a man shouldn’t shave and how you want Rick Flair to return to promote his DVD but out of all that you failed to mention the most important thing. The fate of the WWE Championship.


Vince: Well John, I didn’t come out here to discuss that matter and I’m not going to do it now especially after what you just said. I should fire you for saying that. I’m your boss, I write your checks, you should show me some respect.


Cena: You know were you get the money to write your checks come from? Every single one of these people here tonight and watching around the world


Crowd pops


Vince: Listen Cena, I have no time for this , I have an important board of directors meeting to attend and I can’t deal with this. Figure this out yourself.


Vince leaves


Cena: Well, didn’t that sound like what it sounded like to you guys? Looks like Vince has left me in charge for the night making me GM of Raw for a day.


Crowd pops


Cena: And as my fist act as GM is too…..


"Metalingus" hits and Edge comes out to a mixed reaction


Edge: Who do you think you are Cena? Huh? Answer me that.


Cena: I think I’m John Cena former 3 time WWE champion who comes from West Newberry and likes to go Bowling


Edge: Shut up, I’ve heard enough of your unfunny crap for one night. I came out here for one reason and one reason only and that’s the vacated WWE Championship. Tat belt belongs around my waist and my waist only.


Cena: Relax, Edge. We all know you are a little toasted after your loss to Hornswoggle last night in the hotel.

Crowd laughs


Edge: How do you sheep think this guy is funny? This guy is the biggest overrated piece of garbage I’ve ever seen in my life. Right Lita?


Lita comes out with no entrance music to a sea of boos


Lita: That’s right Edge and let me just say that you were indeed a winner last night. *Kisses Edge*


Crowd boos


Cena: Holy hell, it’s the slut next door.


Crowd pops


Edge: Listen Cena you better……



Suddenly the lights go out and a distinctive gong is heard and it’s indeed the Deadman. His entrance music hits as he makes his long entrance to the ring with the crowd cheering like crazy and Cena and Edge staring with blank and scared faces.


The music stops as The Undertaker stands in the middle of the ring with the crowd still cheering. Undertaker begins to stare at Cena and Edge


Cena: Uhhh, hey. Sup brotha?


Taker quietly stares


Cena: I think, I think I know what you’re here for. You want a shot at the WWE championship don’t you? Well, I’m sure as GM for the day I could possibly…


Vince’s voice is heard and an image of him is show on the titentron


Vince: Hold it, hold it…I was watching and I just want to inform you Mr. Cena that I run this show and I make the rules. You 3 are indeed the number one contenders for the WWE championship and you will battle it out in 3 weeks at Summerslam for the WWE championship.



Crowd pops as all 3 stare at each other


Vince: But tonight, Cena, Edge you two will take out your aggression tonight in that ring with your special guest referee, The Undertaker.



No Chance hits as all 3 men stare at each other

Maria, Mickie, Candace vs. Beth Phoenix, Melina, Jillian Hall

Melina starts things off by assaulting Maria, but Maria counters and tags in Mickie, who hits a baseball slide dropkick. Mickie finds herself tangled up in the ropes, so Melina gets the upper hand and begins delivering vicious kicks to the side. Melina tags in Beth, and Beth delivers a modified knee drop, tagging in Jillian, who makes a quick tag to melina, and they doubleteam Mickie. Melina with a 2 count, and works Mickie with a leglock, only to get kicked away. Mickie misses an enziguiri, and Jillian comes in, but Mickie fights both off and gets the hot tag to Candace.
