Alright man. Like the Armageddon results, mayne you should put a roster up so you can keep updating it etc. Dont worry if it takes you a while to get going because that normally happens with everyone. Glad you have started using colours aswell. Good luck with this
(Sidenote: This is the new format I'm trying, I'm liking it better, and will probably continue to use it, but do tell me your thought about it, it would be very appreciated)
The New WWE Champion!
Jeff Hardy is the new WWE Champion, and on his Smackdown debut as such, he promised that he wouldn't disappoint his fans. His celebration was marred, unfortunately, by Vickie Guerrero (who's entrance, too, was marred by the crowd) who claimed that she was not going to allow for a "pot-head" to reign on her show. Vickie claimed that Edge was the one truly deserving of the title, which was why she was vacating the title, effective immediately.
That only lasted a few seconds before Triple H made his presence known. He reminded Vicky that ever since the 'Undertaker - Gogoplata' fiasco, she did not have the authority to strip the world champion from his title without a match. An incensed Guerrero improvised a new plan, placing Hardy in a Royal Rumble Title Match. However, Hardy was going to have to prove himself, and in his first match as WWE Champion, he have to endure a Gauntlet Match!
Who's the True Contender?
With Shelton Benjamim as commentator, and Ezekiel Jackson at ringside, Hurricane Helms had a tough time turning the odds in his favor against The Brian Kendrick. Luckily for him, the duo at ringside both tried to interfere on Kendrick's behalf the same time, and the chaos that ensued allowed Helms to finish off the arrogant dancer, and become the #1 Contender for the Gold Standard's US Title.
The Legacy Continues the Streak:
When MVP appeared in the ring with a mic, everyone knew that it wasn't going to end well. The pompous wrestler claimed that tonight he was going to end his losing streak by defeating one of the WWE's hottest prospects. With Orton and Rhodes at ringside, Manu and MVP fought back and forth. But in the end, MVP's arrogance got the best of him, and he failed to finish off Manu. That, combined with a distraction from Rhodes, allowed Manu to lay his opponent down for the count, and put another loss on MVP's record.
The Legacy have now defeated superstars in every brand, and they celebrated the match as such. Orton told the WWE Universe that this was only the beginning, great things were to follow. Coincidentally, a tiny thing followed, with ECW's Hornswoggle coming out of the ring, and attempting to celebrate the Legacy's win with them. Orton told the diminutive wrestler that just because he's a multi-generational superstar didn't mean he was good enough to be in the Legacy, and the trio left Smackdown, with Hornswoggle trailing them excitedly (much to the irritation of Orton).
As Big as a Tag Team
The Colons both expected to face off against one of Smackdown's tag teams in their match tonight, but instead, as punishment for congratulating Hardy backstage, they went up against the Big Show. The dynamic duo gave it their best, but were not good enough to trouble the biggest athlete in the world, and Carlito succumbed to the Showstopper, and Big Show got his win.
Good Enough Competition For You?
The Moscow Mauler has constantly been demanding better competition, and tonight, he got his wish. Perhaps not a Main-Eventer, Festus was still more than enough to go head to head with Kozlov. Festus dominated the earlier going, but a series of headbutts, followed by Kozlov's own reverse DDT spelled doom for corn-fed colossus. As the undefeated beast walked up the ramp, he found himself face to face with the ECW Champion, Matt Hardy, who treated him to a Twist of Fate off the ramp as retribution for the attack he received on Tuesday at ECW. It seems neither man is about to let himself be pushed around, and we can only imagine as to what will happen next between these two. What's certain though, is that this isn't over.
Up to the Challenge?
As per Vickie Guerrero's instructions, Jeff Hardy found himself facing quite the challenge. First up in his Guantlet Match were the Edgeheads, Curth Hawkings and Zack Ryder. Although handicapped, Hardy dropkicked Ryder off the mat, and Swanton Bomb-ed Hawkings to get his first win.
Next up was The Great Khali. The two wrestlers surveyed each other before the Punjabi Playboy, as he likes to be called, refused to fight Hardy. Outraged, Vicky swore that Khali would pay before sending out Chavo to fight in his place. Although a superb wrestler, Chavo was not prepared to fight that night, and found himself on the receiving end of a beat down. Not to be outdone, Chavo exited the ring, and returned, hitting Hardy with a chair, causing a disqualification.
His triumphant smile soon turned into a look of fear, when Triple H marched down the ramp, sledgehammer in hand. Vicky, not one to miss an opportunity to be a sadist, told the Game that since he was ready to rumble, he would have to face Hardy as his third, and final, opponent. Vicky added that if he dared to leave like Khali she would ban him from ever challenging for another title on Smackdown.
Triple H and Hardy faced off in a monumental battle, but Hardy's exhaustion was showing, and Triple H practically had him won. But just as he was about to hit the Pedigree he hesitated. Hardy took advantage of the situation, and hit the Twist of Fate on his opponent, and got his first, and unbelievable win as WWE Champion. Walking up the ramp to loud cheers, he left both Vicky and Triple H, looking disgruntled. Not one to let the good guy win for once, when Jeff was at the top of the ramp, Edge came out and delivered a sickening spear.
*
After the show, WWE.com posted a message in which it was announced that because of his actions, The Great Khali has been fired by Vicky Guerrero. It is at this point unknown whether he will join Raw or ECW, or whether he will become a free agent.
*
Also, both Vladimir Kozlov and Matt Hardy have been fined for disrupting each other's shows.
*
Don't forget to tune in later today when a Preview for Monday's Raw will broadcast!
EDIT: A Roster has been included in the first post.
*4 Qualifying Matches for next week's Fatal 4-Way Match to determine the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title. The winner will go on to face John Cena at the Royal Rumble*
*Diva Tag Team Match between 4 of the hottest women on TV*
You don't have to add the 'quick results' section if you don't want it. It makes things a bit easier though to see who actually won the matches.
Also, take your time. I used to have your problem. Although not quite extreme. You posted a preview for an upcoming show within a few hours of posting the Smackdown show. This will instantly turn people off because you're not giving people enough time to read, and take in what's happened.
Plus the time differences with there being people from all over the world in this section, and this forum as a whole. So wait a few days, maybe you'll get some comments that way.
The new layout of your show is okay. It's pretty easy to read. But remember take your time man, it really helps.
Just a bit of friendly advice.

1 – (4) – Jeff Hardy - Jeff Hardy certainly is gaining momentum! A career-altering win at Armageddon for the WWE Title, and a win on Smackdown in a Gauntlet Match with the odds stacked against him mean that Hardy deservedly grabs the top spot.
2 – (6) – Batista - A good week for The Animal saw him beat Orton at Armageddon and Mark Henry on Raw.
3 – (10) – John Cena - John Cena defeated his impersonator on Raw after beating Y2J at Armageddon, and jumps 7 spots.
4 – (1) – Matt Hardy - Matt Hardy relinquishes the top spot after losing at Armageddon and having no official match in the entire week.
5 – (9) - Vladimir Kozlov - A win at Armageddon against Matt Hardy and another against Festus on Smackdown have the Moscow Mauler enter the Top 5.
6 – (3) – Chris Jericho - After a bad loss to Cena at Armageddon, Jericho did nothing but run his mouth on Raw, and so he drops from third place.
7 – (2) – The Undertaker - The Undertaker has not been seen since his cage match against the Big Show, and if he doesn’t want to exit the Top 10, he should make a swift return.
8 – (11) – CM Punk - The Straight Edge superstar became the #1 Contender for Regal’s title and taught Santino Marella a lesson all in one week. Not bad at all.
9 – (5) – Triple H - Despite his loss at Armageddon, The Game wouldn’t have dropped so far down the list if he had finished off Hardy. Has he learned his lesson?
10 – (7) – Edge - Edge lost his title at Armageddon and appeared on Smackdown only to assault the current champion. He has a chance to rectify his drop at the Royal Rumble, or will he take care of Charismatic Enigma beforehand?
11 – (8) – Mark Henry - Two loss in under 24 hours sure is painful, so we won’t rub it in to the Strongest Man in the World, that wouldn’t be wise on our part.
12 – (14) – Beth Phoenix - Her inactivity on Raw was countered by her victory against the former Divas Champion. All hail the Undisputed Women’s Champion!
13 – (11) – Kofi Kingston - We haven’t seen the Jamaican this week, but as soon as we do, we’re sure that he’ll skyrocket up the list.
14 – (16) – Finlay - Finlay lost his tag-team match on ECW, but his win against Mark Henry at Armageddon allows him to move up the list.
15 – (18) – Big Show - Big Show moves up the list by defeating the WWE Tag Team Champions on Smackdown.
16 – (19) – Cody Rhodes & Manu - The Legacy has won three matches this week. If they keep it up, they’ll dominate the WWE just like they promised.
17 – (15) – Kane - Kane has been inactive this week, and some of us here are glad. We don’t wish a match against the Big Red Machine even on our worst enemies.
18 – (12) – The Great Khali - The Punjabi Playboy has not wrestled as much as we’d hoped in the last few weeks, and his disobedience on Smackdown sees him plummet down the list, and lose his place on Smackdown. Will one of the other two brands take him?
19 – (21) – Shawn Michaels - The Heart-Break Kid reluctantly teamed up with JBL this week, and their win does good for Shawn’s record. Who knows, maybe this alliance isn’t so bad, after all.
20 – (17) – Carlito & Primo - The WWE Tag Team Champions faced a gigantic task by having to fight The Giant himself. Let’s hope, for their sake, that they don’t have such tough rivals every week.
21 – (23) – Randy Orton - The Legend Killer might’ve lost his match at Armageddon, but he lead The Legacy to 3 wins this week, and that’s no feat to scoff at.
22 – (20) – Jack Swagger - The All-American American was not to be seen at the Land of Extreme this week, and we hope to see him next week.
23 – (NR) – The Miz & John Morrison - Returning to the Top 25, the World Tag Team Champions are here to stay. Be jealous!
24 – (22) – William Regal - William Regal now knows who will face him for his Intercontinental Title, but is he truly prepared to face CM Punk?
25 – (NR) – John Bradshaw Layfield - The self-proclaimed Wrestling God returns to the Top 25, and if his deal with HBK is fruitful, we might soon be seeing him at the top of the list.
Results are good on the recaps but the only thing is we dont know what happened before or after the matches or backstage etc. You could still do a quick recap but maybe mention a bit more. Good match for Rumble with Edge and Jeff and I like the power 25 thing. Will check out Raw
