Great decision. The Divas title is a joke. Are you going to have the women's champion appear on both brands?

Re: WWE - Current BTB

The Raw Episode is coming soon, but I just want to comment on the last posts.

I used the Armageddon events exactly as they happened, only changing the Women's match because I have no intention on juggling two diva belts. Batista beat Orton and Jeff beat Edge and HHH, so that's what we have here. I hope my plans for these wrestlers don't disappoint you though.

Re: WWE - Current BTB

Nah. I wasn't having a go at your booking. More the WWE's booking:p

Good luck. I didn't actually notice you had unified the two divas belts. I agree with Sean, it was a great idea. The Divas title was, and still is a waste of space in my opinion.

Looking forward to your first RAW.

Re: WWE - Current BTB


Raw opens as usual, with the opening theme and fireworks. Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler greet the audience, and are interrupted by Orton’s theme. He walks up the ramp, accompanied by Cody Rhodes and Manu.

Orton: I will admit that last night didn’t go as well as I had planned. Batista managed to wriggle out of my web, and with luck on his side, he managed to pin me. Only after Cody and Manu were unfairly ejected from ringside. I got distracted, and when I get distracted, people get lucky. That… is in the past. Now we must look towards the future, and what the future holds. For the Legacy, it holds unfathomable levels of success. As multi-generational superstars, we are the only ones who can carry the WWE to new heights. We are wrestling royalty and sooner rather than later, we will rule Raw. And tonight, the Legacy’s dynasty will commence. Tonight, tomorrow on ECW, and Friday night on Smackdown, the Legacy will face off against each show’s stars, and each time we will emerge victorious. Anyone who foolishly attempts to stand in our way will be punished.

‘Voices’ plays and Orton leads the Legacy off the stage.

Match 1:

Marella’s theme plays and he enters the ring accompanied by Beth Phoenix. He takes the mic and talks about how it is a travesty that he wasn’t even given a match in the Tournament which saw Punk emerge as #1 contender. He is interrupted by Punk’s theme, who runs in to loud cheers. Both wrestlers square up and Punk dominates from the get-go. Marella gets in a few cheap shots and ultimately attempts to leave. Regal, who had been sitting at the top of ramp for the entire match, gets up, and Marella decides to return to the ring. Punk attempts to GTS Santino, but Beth pulls Santino down. The ref reprimands Beth, as Santino tries to capitalize. Punk reverses and gets him into an Anaconda Vise Grip, causing Santino to tap out immediately.

Winner: CM Punk

Cut-scene: Jericho walks into Stephanie McMahon’s office. He demands to know why he isn’t being given another go at Cena’s title. Steph explain s that it’s time for others to have a chance, and if he truly deserves another match, he should win his match next week. If he wins, he’ll get a place at the Fatal 4-Way #1 Contender’s Match the week after.

Match 2:

JBL arrives in wrestling gear. He is annoyingly satisfied. Shawn Michaels’ theme plays and he enters the ring, the two eye each other and finally shake hands (and are jeered by the crowed), although HBK does so quite reluctantly. Cryme Tyme enter the ring. The match starts and JBL starts against JTG. JBL dominates against JTG, but when JTG tags Shad in, they start gathering momentum by hitting one double-team move after the other. JBL finally tags HBK in, who grounds Shad, but seems unwilling to inflict any real pain. He tags JBL in who has no problem with beating Shad down. Shad tags JTG in and it seems like they might get a win but JBL hits a double clothesline-from-hell, and finally pins JTG.

Winners: JBL & HBK. JBL raises his partner’s hand who does not seem pleased with the win.

Match 3:

Mark Henry enters the ring accompanied by Tony Atlas. Batista is already in the ring. Henry stars out on top, but Batista gets the upper hand after a spear. Atlas attempts to interfere but Batista whips him out of the ring with ease. The distraction gives Henry an advantage, and he locks Batista in a bear hug. Batista breaks the hold and starts beating on Henry by the turnbuckle. Henry irish-whips Batista away following a reversal but Batista uses the momentum to deliver a devastating spinebuster. Atlas comes back into the ring in an attempt to distract Batista again, but finds himself on the bad end of a Batista Bomb. Batista then covers Henry for pin.

Winner: Batista

Match 4:

John Cena’s theme plays and he enters the ring, energized as always. He waits in the ring when his theme plays again. Stunned, he looks on as Charlie Haas enters, impersonating him. Amused, Cena shakes his hand before the match starts. Cena dominates in the beginning, but is hit with a few surprising trademark Cena moves. Haas attempts the 5-knucle shuffle, but Cena escapes and hits him with a flame asser. He then delivers his own 5-knuckle shuffle followed by an FU for a quick win.

Winner: John Cena. Cena helps Haas up before cut to the Legacy backstage. Orton is encouraging Cody.

Match 5:

Rey Mysterio enters the ring, but the tremendous cheers quickly turns to boos when Cody Rhodes, followed by Manu and Orton, comes on. The match starts and Cody tries to stop Mysterio from moving around too much. Cody’s allies watch from ringside, and frequently shout words of encouragement/advice. Mysterio escapes Rhodes’ submission hold and goes to the air, hitting him with several diving/springboard attacks. As he attempts another, Manu hits the ropes, causing them to wobble, and making Rey mess up his move. Cody gains the upper hand and is about to hit his finisher when Rey reverses and hits him with a hurricanara. He trips Rhodes, who falls with his head on the ropes but Manu trips him before he can hit Rhodes. The ref goes to yell at Manu, and Orton takes advantage by hitting Rey with his trademark backbreaker. Rhodes capitalizes by hitting his DDT and pins Rey.

Winner: Cody Rhodes. Orton considers punting Rey as they celebrate, but seems to feel Rey is not worth it. However, he tells Manu to pick him up, who does, placing him in the fireman carry position. Manu then throws Rey behind him, and Orton RKO’s him.

Tune in tomorrow for ECW!

Re: WWE - Current BTB


ECW starts as always with the theme and fireworks.

Match 1

DJ Gabriel does his little dance number with Alicia Fox as a local competitor waits in the ring. The match starts and as to be expected, Gabriel destroys the competitors, capping a fairly quick match with his turnbuckle uppercut.

Winner: DJ Gabriel, who performs another dance routine with Alicia Fox. Tommy Dreamer interrupts the routine, however.
Dreamer: Is this what ECW has come to? The house of hardcore now wastes its time with previews of High School Musical? This is disgusting, absurd and disrespectful to myself and all of the other extremists who have shed so much blood to make this show what it is. Teddy Long, I know you and I know you want what is best for this show. So I give you my warning. If you don’t stop this crap from continuing, I’ll do it for you.

Dreamer exits leaving Gabriel and Alicia looking at each other with stunned looks on their faces.

Match 2:

Orton enters the arena, flanked by his cohorts. He takes the mic and says that he agrees with Dreamer. ECW is pathetic and he plans on spending as little time as he can there. Evan Bourne’s theme plays and hopeful cheers are heard throughout the arena. He and Orton start the match by walking in circles. Orton debilitates Bourne by putting him in a submission hold, employing the same strategy as Rhodes did on Raw. Bourne escapes the hold and gains the upper hand, but his momentum is halted by Orton who kicks him in the gut as he attempted to launch himself via the ropes. He carries Bourne until only his feet touch the ropes and delivers his devastating DDT. He goes for the pin but Bourne kicks out. Orton methodically stomps on Bourne, who reverses one and trips Orton, he then delivers several dropkicks and other highflying moves before going to the turnbuckle. He goes for the shooting star press, but Manu pushes Orton out of the way. Orton recuperates first and stalks Bourne, jumping up and down like a maniac, his mouth frothing, and hits Bourne with an RKO.

Winner: Randy Orton. Orton taunts the crowd and starts to leave. Before he does, however, Hornswoggle comes out from bellow the ring, jumping up and down, and circles the Legacy like a hyper bunny-rabbit. Hornswoggle signals that he wants to become a part of the Legacy. Orton smirks and walks off without paying Hornswoggle more attention, who hesitates before following them out.

Match 3:

Morrison and the Miz enter, carrying their titles and Slammy. They boast in front of the crowd before Finlay enters, accompanied by a saddened, pitiful Hornswoggle. The ‘Greatest Tag Team of the Century’ mock the Irishmen, as Ricky Ortiz’s theme plays and he comes on, as well. The match begins with the Miz against Ortiz, and the two lock in the middle of the ring. The Miz takes Ricky to his corner, where he and Morrison take charge. Ortiz finally gains the upper hand, and tags Finlay in. Finlay dominates before the Miz distracts both he and the ref, allowing Morrison to get a cheap shot in. Ortiz, outraged, yells at the ref, but this only further distracts him, and the duo beat Finlay. Finally, Finlay manages to hit the duo, and tags Ortiz in. Ortiz builds momentum quickly, and is about to hit the Big O, but Morrison rolls away from danger. Morrison goes for his neckbreaker, but it is reversed by Ortiz, who pushes him away. He stops watching Morrison, however, and pays for it when he gets hit with a superkick. Morrison gets the pin as Finlay looks on, helpless.

Winners: The Miz and Morrison. The tag team taunt their opponents before taking their titles and award and exiting, leaving the disgruntled losers in the ring.

Matt Hardy’s theme plays and he enters the ring, where Tony Chimel is waiting for him. The ECW champion is asked about his thoughts regarding his brother’s Armageddon win, and Matt praises Jeff enormously, claiming that is a historical moment in the WWE for the two to hold two world titles. Kozlov’s theme plays, and sure enough Kozlov walks down the ramp, and enters the ring. Matt stands his ground, but Kozlov overpowers him, finally hitting him with his uranage chokeslam. Kozlov takes the mic. In what can barely be described as English, he says that Matt has yet to truly pay for costing him the title shot, and that he will make sure that he pays the price.

Don’t forget to watch Friday Night Smackdown!

Re: WWE - Current BTB

Yes as the above poster said, slow down. I personally think unless in the first post you actually shouldn't post a show on the same night as you aren't giving any readers a chance to be interested and usually that means they won't read the first show.

Like me, i haven't read the first show and hell it may be good however it doesn't seem to be in recap and if not in recap, it is a very short show and certainly isn't the length a Raw show should be.

Don't take to harshly to this as its just some friendly criticism just to help you out a little.

Re: WWE - Current BTB

The first Raw is 5 matches plus a promo, which is average length. ECW is 3 matches plus promos, again, average length. I don't dedicate much to the actual match writing because I'm more interested in the story behind it, so it might be shorter than you normally expect. I might change to just recap, what do you think? Like WWE.com does it?

anyway, I'll stop for a while. I already have until the Rumble planned, so that';s why I churned it out quick. I'll wait a bio before posting Smackdown.

How long between each show will be best?

7-10 days between shows mate. Though I take about 3 weeks as I write about 10,500 words per show.

Re: WWE - Current BTB

I wouldn't even say you would need to wait 7-10 days between shows if you want to produce them fast. All i would say is wait at least 3 days and then post a show.

5 matches and 1 promo? I haven't watched Raw in a long, long time now but i don't believe that is how it usually works and would be very surprised if it is?

Re: WWE - Current BTB

(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.

Re: WWE - Current BTB

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.

Re: WWE - Current BTB

Yeah, I think I'll take you up on that advice. I didn't think a Preview really counted for much, but, I'm not as familiar with BTB forums as you guys are.

Re: Diverging Paths - A Current WWE BTB

Weekly Top 25
December 14th - December 20th

This Week – Last Week – Superstar

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.

Tomorrow
Don't Miss It!
