From WrestlingNews.com: -The biggest development in WWE so far this week is the return of Umaga. The signing of Umaga was kept quiet by WWE officials mainly to add an element of surprise. Judging by the ending of ECW he will be competing on the ECW brand. Rumour at the back is that he is expected to get a big push.
-WWE.com announced this week that they had signed some new talent. These people are Bobby Lashley, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelly and Amazing Red. It is unsure where these people will compete and when they will begin competing. Also WWE have signed Nigel McGuiness and Bryan Danielson but it appears that they will spend a month in FCW.
-Unforgiven is sold out in the Dunkin' Donuts center in Providence, Rhode Island. The official theme song is "Still Unbroken" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The sales website has confirmed appearances from Dolph Ziggler, Rey Mysterio, John Morrison and Finlay as well as the people who are already confirmed as appearing.
-Edge was this week announced as the Raw general manager. It appears that Edge didn't want to be taken off WWE programming so it was decided that he would become the general manager. Paul Heyman has been announced as the General Manager of ECW and it seems that Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman have sorted out their differences
Looks like you are making ECW a credible brand once more, I salute you.
ECW deserves to have a roster with the depth of the other two, and with the additions you have made it looks to be getting back into shape. Good luck, I can't promise a review but I'll keep an eye out for it.

Scramble!
Last week, Raw's new general manager, Edge, announced that at Unforgiven. The WWE Championship will be battled for in a championship scramble match that would involve Orton, Cena and 3 other members who qualified in matches that night. Jack Swagger, MVP and The Miz subsequently qualified. Randy Orton has made it clear he doesn't want this match so what will the fallout be tonight on raw?
Loser Leaves Raw!
The past few months have been very tough for Chavo Guerrero. He has been pitted against Hornswoggle multiple times each time having the odds dramatically stacked against him. But tonight on Raw chavo gets his sweet revenge. It will be Chavo Vs Hornswoggle 1 on 1 and the loser will leave Raw. Who will wrestle their last match tonight?
Mickie's Last Stand?
Last week after beating Jillian, Beth Phoenix announced that she would be cashing in her guaranteed shot at the Divas championship this week. Will Beth Phoenix capture the championship? Or will Mickie James continue her reign as champion
Tune Into Raw to see all this and More!
Ok this is the last stand for this thread. Should this thread end up on the second page with no replies as it has done almost everytime that I have posted something then I will give up. However a few posts and I will continue the thread. (Raw has already been written)

Alright I'm going to tell you a bit of advice. Two months ago I was in your shoes. I was very new to booking, and really thought the ideas I had flowing was good... so when I started to post shows I thought soon enough people would recognize my work, however after a couple of pages, I really got only minor notes here and there, nothing serious. However instead of giving up I kept posting my shows. With that said after my second PPV I got four or five full reviews/feedback from the likes of some good bookers like Rocker and Calum132.
With that said.... I feel that people here don't give out reviews in the beginning because they want to make sure you stick with a thread. So what I'm telling you is keep booking for a while longer and the feedback will come. I know when you post Raw I'm going to review it I told you that... so just keep booking for a while and the feedback will come.
Also booking is not only meant for feedback from others. It is meant for enjoyment. If you enjoy writing your current thread, then stick to it. We do BTB, to enjoy ourselves, and if we get feedback from others than that is just an added bonus.

Well I read it and I have to say... it does need a wee bit of work man. I'm not dissing you just once again helping.
First my question is Edge a face? I'm guessing he is because he went pretty easy on DX and granted them with a match like they wanted. If he was heel, he would of denied them wanting a match or he would of made a ridiculous match. Anyway, the text is really small imo, I like normal size tex so I can read it better.
Things I likewas the promo with Dibiase and Orton slowly starting to Legacy buckle a bit. The matches were good and I am so glad that Hornswoggle is gone. Also main event I was very surpirsed that Bobby Lashley came out, and I love Lashley so its good to see him in this thread. Your PPV card also looks good, but a bit of advice when you write your PPV, you have the write the matches way longer... just as a head up because after all it is a PPV.
Overall: Besides the text being small, it was a good show. I would like to see you maybe lengthen your matches up a bit, and maybe your promos bulk up a bit but other than that it was a good show, considering your just getting into booking. I love the banners you have created to they look amazing man. So overall I'll give it a 6.5/10... which may seem low but you'll continue to improve once you start to write more and more shows man. Good luck!
