NOTES:
- This is my 2nd attempt at a BTB. I tried my first earlier in the Summer but it never really got off the ground. I'm hoping to make this one that will last a long time and be a great BTB.
- Due to the fact that I'm having three shows as of now, I'm not going to post full shows for Raw, Smackdown, or ECW. There will obviously be stuff posted, but I'm going to save the big updates for the PPVs.
- All comments, questions, and reviews are certainly accepted. If you review my BTB, I'd certainly be happy to review yours as well.
- Please keep the negativity out. I know the difference between constructive criticism and negativity, so if you have a negative comment about this BTB please either post it in a way that can help me or just don't post it at all.
- This BTB is starting as of today. After No Mercy tonight, I will post a recap of what actually happened, and then a preview of Raw. With that said, the next update will be the No Mercy Card.
Re: WWE Wrestling 2008: The Road To Wrestlemania XXV
As this is the road to WM 25, i take it that the thread is going to begin post No Mercy, or a date around this time? I think it's brave of you to go with all three brands. I say this as when i had my first BTB i wrote both Raw and SD out in full and scrapped ECW and man that was hard work!!! Maybe you should get a partner to write one of the two big shops and stick to a recapped version of ECW. It's just that three shows maybe a little too big a work load for one booker and standards can drop. The rosters look great and as this is a current BTB, the lack of a backstory is understandable. Good luck with this man.
Re: WWE Wrestling 2008: The Road To Wrestlemania XXV
This i interesting becaue i don't know wether or not your planning to use the results the WWE produce tonight or are you going to offer up your own results?
Re: WWE Wrestling 2008: The Road To Wrestlemania XXV
10/6/08 MONDAY NIGHT RAW PREVIEW -
Live from the Key Arena in Seattle, Washington - 9 PM ET/6 PM PT
- Just 24 hours after retaining his World Heavyweight Championship at No Mercy, what words will Chris Jericho have for the world?
- Speaking of Jericho, we found out at No Mercy that 'The Animal' Batista is the #1 Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship!
Batista is scheduled for singles action on the show, what type of statement can he make to Jericho?
- After seriously injuring Rey Mysterio with a steel chair shot, what can we expect from the unpredictable Kane on Monday?
- After successfully defending her championship against Candice Michelle at No Mercy, Beth Phoenix along with Santino Marella will be
in mixed-tag action against Jamie Noble and Mickie James.
- Finally, after what went down between Team Priceless, Randy Orton, M.V.P., CM Punk, and Kofi Kingston on Sunday, have the battle
lines been drawn for a huge stable war on Raw?
Re: WWE Wrestling 2008: The Road To Wrestlemania XXV
You have your work cut out for you dude as it's oing to be very easy to compare and contrast your first raw with the WWE show that is airing tonight. It's going to be interesting to see how the show differes from the one produced by the WWE. Look forward to reading it and good luck!

Rumors have circulated after No Mercy yesterday that Montel Vontavious Porter may be moving to Monday Night Raw. According to Smackdown's The Big Show, speaking in place of General Manager Vickie Guerrero, the whole situation will be settled on Friday Night Smackdown.
NOTE:
- I've already written a bit more than the first half hour for Monday Night Raw. The show at first will seem similar to the actual thing you watch tonight, and I can't help that because I'm starting from the exact same point that the WWE is right now. Don't worry though as over time, it will become very different and the cards for Cyber Sunday will look nothing alike, let alone the card for Wrestlemania.
