A week after Vincent K. McMahon declared ECW as the third WWE brand Paul Heyman, ECW General Manager as been snooping around RAW and SmackDown locker rooms, getting ECW stars to run in and attack WWE stars. Vince McMahon has had enough as he decided to hold a WWE vs. ECW special show, a hour long event which all matches will contain one ECW star and one WWE star, besides the Main Event, which is a 10 man over the top rope Battle Royal, with 5 ECW wrestlers forming Team ECW and 5 WWE wrestlers forming Team WWE. With that been said those 10 wrestlers will be revealed in tonight’s show. With the intentions of the show to stop the ‘Backstage’ WWE vs. ECW war, Paul Heyman has a un-intimidated expression across his face. Vince McMahon is hoping the backstage war will stop after this special 1 hour show, but there is the possibility that Paul Heyman, the extreme master mind, has other intensions. Be Sure To Check Out Tonight’s Show!!

I really like the writing setup. It is refreshing and easy to read. I think sometimes that when people write in commentary by the announcers it kind of gets old. I do miss some more detailed promos because I think that is one of the most popular things in most BTB's.
The match outcomes were surprising with Al Snow and Sabu picking up wins. Al Snow really doing something in a BTB would be a great change of pace.
Having Bobby Lashley go to Team ECW was a good surprise because I figured it was going to be the Big Show. Then you shocked me with the Big Show joining also.
This looks very good and once again I really like the writing setup.

Thanx for the comments, glad i surprised you with Bobby Lashley going to ECW first, i aswell like the more detail Promo's although i find it easier to write in a recaped form as i am now

Ok, before I start, good Backstory and hyping up this show. Good job there, just thought I'd say that.
I can imagine the atmosphere you've described at the start there, nicely written. It really set the scene, so that was a nice start. Well done.
Nice opening segment. Nice that both GMs are picking two men for the BR, plus one from Vince. I think that Vince saying that he wants to destroy ECW is strange, considering that he's just allowed them to become the third brand. Still, nice segment that I would expect at the beginning.
Snow/Benjamin is a solid match. I like how Snow hit some weaker moves, then got more and more powerful, building up to his finishing move. Two good examples of the mid-card for each side. 1-0 to ECW, and it helps with the start of Heyman's promo afterward.
Wow. This was a great segment, introducing the teams, and having a great brawl at the end. It all seemed thought out well by ECW, and it shows that Heyman has tricks up his sleeve. It's a really good segment to hype up the Main Event.
Sabu vs. Orton - two great superstars, and the Extreme Rules aspect makes it even better. Sabu would easily be the favourite here - hey, he's an ECW Original - but Orton certainly made it hard for him. Still, a good win to make it 2-0 to ECW. It really is shaping up to be ECW's night, and really good match writing here.
Heyman continues to hype up the ME - it's got me buzzing... I can't wait to see what happens! Nothing is wrong with any of these segments, so I can't really criticise. In other words, keep it up, mate.
RVD/Batista is one hell of a match-up, and you made it very good. You really have some good skill with match writing, I'll tell you that. My only small thoughts are that it's clothesline, not close line, and you seem to get mixed up a lot between there and their. Apart from these small things, it was a great match. A win for Batista is surprising, but I suppose WWE have to win at least one match, lol.
So WWE are ready, are they? Doubt it, not with all the stuff Heyman's got in his head. I personally can't wait for the 'Invasion Of ECW', and although I'm sure you'll only be writing for ECW, I hope you keep us posted on what happens when ECW inevitably invade SmackDown and Raw.
This ME had everything. The Battle Royal, for a start, sounded just like what a BR would be like. I was stunned. Lashley and Show? Two great superstars to have on ECW, amazing speed and power from Lashley, and great size and strength from Show. Well done Paul Heyman and you, it really had me on the edge of my seat, and I can't wait to see how this unfolds. You've made the inclusion of ECW have a much bigger impact than it did when it came in in real life, and set a huge setting for the coming weeks, or even months.
Overall, this was a great show. There was so little I could criticise you for, which shows that you're doing well. Racer, I think this is a superb opening show, and it showed that you excel in your match writing. Well done, I'll be reading, 9/10.
Coachman/Long/McMahon segment: Very good backstage segment. Really enjoyed this one and it was very realistic. I like how the WWE are hating on ECW. I wonder who Vince is talking about, it will be a nice surprise.
Al Snow/Benjamin: Very good match. It was quite entertaining and the ending was a great finish with the Snow Plow. Glad Al Snow won this.
Heyman promo: Another nice promo from you. Very realistic and the teams look fantastic. I liked the little brawl at the end and ECW look strong and 'extreme'.
Sabu/Orton: It was a good match but I wish Randy Orton won the match! I also think that this match seemed more like a Singles No DQ match rather than an extreme rules match since the only weapon used was chairs. Wish there was more weapons used in the match but still a very good ending.
Heyman Interview: A good interview but all the segments seem to be revolved around GMs. I wish like a superstar would have a backstage segment or a promo but this was a great interview. Heyman was portrayed a good heel here. Well done.
Batista/RVD: This match made sense that Batista won so I have no arguments about that. However, I would've liked it if the match went on longer since I thought you ended it well and made me wanna read on lol.
Vince/Teddy Long/Coachman: Good promo. I know that you will steal some WWE superstars which will be good. I will look forward to seeing who they will be.
Main Event: This was obviously the match of the night. I liked this eliminations and it was a huge surprise that Bobby Lashley joins ECW. This was similar to what Big Show did 2 years ago but still was a shocker. I liked the flow of the match and the mini fueds so well done on that.
Aftermath: Another shocker. Big Show also joins ECW. I love this, very unpredictable and a what a way to end your first show.
Overall: Great first show, it was nicely written with a few spelling and grammar mistakes. I will give it a 8/10! Keep it up.
Friday Night SmackDown’s Main Event between Batista and World Heavyweight Champion, Rey ‘619’ Mysterio, was interrupted as Bobby Lashley and Big Show, came rushing down to the ring with weapon’s in hand. Big Show went after Batista as Bobby Lashley took care of Rey Mysterio, after a couple of minutes a rush off WWE superstar’s, Randy Orton, Mark Henry, Mr. Kennedy and Jonathon Bradshaw Layfield came down to the ring as they saved the two SmackDown wrestlers, Batista and Rey Mysterio from further damage as the ECW superstars fled to the outside.
Other News…
Paul Heyman, ECW Mastermind, has been seen backstage at SmackDown talking to various superstars, although those ‘superstars’ names have not been released, we are sure Paul Heyman has a big surprise next week, tune in to ECW Tuesday Night’s on Sci-Fi…
