Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

The Great American Bash Review

Dolph Ziggler beats John Morrison to become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion in a match for the vacant WWE Cruiserweight Championship and what more can I say that I loved this match so much because it was not only so athletic and back and forth but it was like counter after counter in this match that it definitely did not get boring like you could watch these 2 men in the ring all day and not get bored but also that it was just such a classic in the sense of it being a mix of high-flying spots but also putting on a wrestling clinic with it being all ground and pound which definitely made it interesting because these 2 had such an interesting rivalry in the build-up towards this match but definitely a great way to open a pay per view for sure, here is hoping the rivalry continues


Daniel Bryan and Kaval The Warriors beating Hawkins and Ryder was another great result with the right team going over, it was such a good match all be it that it was a tag team match and I am not crazy about tag team matches because they don't really do anything for me but this match sure as hell did and I will tell you why I loved it so much because of the fact that this match tells a great story in the sense of the rivalry being so personal because of the AJ factor but also because these 2 teams if anything are probably 2 of the best tag teams currently on Smackdown at the moment no offense to the WWE Tag Team Champions The Hart Dynasty but still this match was great because this match goes a long way to proving just which team is next in line for a WWE Tag Team Championship match down the road


Ziggler backstage with Layla the Assistant GM of Smackdown, this is so great, but at the same time I am wondering if Layla isn't at risk to get fired by Teddy who is the GM of the show because Layla should not be having a relationship with a superstar especially if she is in a position of power because if anything that just goes to show you that she probably doesn't care about being the Assistant GM, so why doesn't Teddy Long just fire her as his assistant and put her back on the active roster as a diva/valet? Makes more sense, wouldn't you agree

R-Truth is definitely becoming more unhinged by the day, and I mean that in a bad way because he is nuts, he has clearly gone off the deep end, only a matter of time before he goes off spewing at the mouth about how there is a conspiracy against him to hold him down or to hold him back but at the same time you can't help but sympathize with R-Truth because he is so right, there is a conspiracy against him to keep him down, to keep him away from not only the WWE United States Championship but to keep him away from the main event but R-Truth will get his title back, I have every confidence in The Suntan Superman to get it done tonight against Kofi

Evan Bourne the ultimate underdog beating Mike Knox, classic David vs Goliath story here if you ask me, but this match if anything just puts Bourne over even more whereas Knox if anything is on a downward spiral and has been for quite a while, but at the same time with Kelly Kelly and Evan Bourne embracing each other at the end, what would have made it even better is if the two of them kissed one another right in front of Knox, now that would have been even better but at the same time here is hoping Bourne's rivalry with Knox is over and also that Kelly Kelly can finally move on and focus on bigger and better things like perhaps getting a shot at the WWE Women's Championship hopefully in the future

Jeff Hardy backstage moment was great

Jeff Hardy beating Chris Jericho if anything I feel was the wrong result and I will tell you why I loved this match but hated the result because of the fact that it makes it so damn obvious that it is going to be Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy yet again and honestly who wants to see these 2 brothers go at it again? I know I don't that's for sure, but at the same time I feel Jericho got screwed here. If anything Jericho won the match fair and square all be it that he cheated to win but still he won, he should be the #1 Contender for that World Heavyweight Championship and not Jeff Hardy and here is hoping that you rectify that because Jericho more than earned the right to become #1 Contender but no it gets taken away from him by Teddy Long and then the match gets restarted with Hardy eventually winning, it is just not fair to Jericho. Jericho is the Best in the World at everything he does and ever since he has come to Smackdown he has been persecuted against because at least when Jericho was on RAW he was actually main-eventing hell he was even champion at one point the 2008 WWE Superstar of the Year and now he is on Smackdown being held down, R-Truth was right there is a conspiracy against certain superstars. So predictable that Hardy goes over because now it is obviously going to set up Hardy vs Hardy at SummerSlam

Kofi beats Truth to retain the WWE United States Championship, I also enjoyed this match and if anything I will say the right man went over but at the same time it just adds to R-Truth's point that there is a conspiracy theory and I wonder if R-Truth will get other heels on his side on Smackdown to lead a revolution because R-Truth has been saying it from day one that there is a conspiracy and there is to keep certain superstars down or to keep certain superstars back from where they should be but at the same time I think Truth will end up being obsessed with the WWE United States Championship in terms of winning it back, this rivalry is far from over that's for sure

The Hart Dynasty still the WWE Tag Team Champions retaining their titles against The Brian Kendrick & Ezekiel Jackson in what I thought was a great match because of the fact that both these teams are so evenly matched but at the same time their rivalry gave off a great story here in this match but also because of the fact that you have Bret right in the middle of it just adding to the importance of this match but then again if anything The Hart Dynasty there is one word to describe them and that is fluke, no way they can pull off another successful title defense

John Cena being attacked before his match in the Steel Cage for the World Heavyweight Championship but Cena still going even after this attack even after it might be too dangerous for him to even compete, just adds to Cena's character of being one to never give up but I wonder if Cena is making a mistake getting in that ring getting in that cage with the likes of the World Heavyweight Champion Matt Hardy who has become more dangerous than he's ever been ever since winning that World Heavyweight Championship

But let's not forget RAW superstar and Mr. Money in the Bank CM Punk he could be in the building and if he is, Punk could very well cash in his briefcase right here tonight at The Bash cashing in on whoever the World Heavyweight Champion is whether that be Cena or Matt Hardy

Edge beating Kane, this is great because the right man definitely went over and not only that but the match was so back and forth especially the ending with Edge countering out of the Chokeslam in mid-air and then hitting a Spear on Kane from out of nowhere to win the match because now hopefully their rivalry can be over and both men can move on from one another setting their sights back on the World Heavyweight Championship but I wonder what is in store for both of these men now that The Bash is over?

I wonder what has Kane so rattled, what the hell is wrong with Kane now?

And in the main event how did I know that Matt Hardy would win? Like it was so damn obvious Hardy was going to beat Cena in the Steel Cage to retain the World Heavyweight Championship like you couldn't even put in the element of surprise here? It was obvious Matt was going to go over because of the fact that his brother Jeff won earlier on in the night which I feel was nothing more than planned, a screwjob to screw Jericho but also to screw Cena over too in the process but at the same time I am not going to complain about it anymore because I don't see the point in it anymore but here is hoping you have Matt Hardy defend his World Heavyweight Championship in a Fatal 4-Way Match at SummerSlam defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho and John Cena in a Fatal 4-Way because then it will just go a long way to proving just what type of champion Matt Hardy really is if he can do that?

Other than that, The Bash was a great pay per view, some results I didn't agree with but most of them I did, but here is hoping your SummerSlam pay per view is better than The Bash

But if anything you know what would make your pay per views better is if you made your pay per views inter-promotional with both brands RAW and Smackdown being on any or all cards from now on with your PPVs going inter-promotional it basically boosts up ratings but also at the same time by having all of your calendar pay per views being inter-promotional it basically has superstars of both brands interacting with one another backstage therefore teasing any or all future match-ups, but hey that is just an idea!!!!!!!!

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Monday Night Raw – 13th July 2009; Litte Rock, Arkansa



Strike of a Snake

Beginning the show tonight is a recap of the events which happened the week before. The video begins with Randy Orton retaining the WWE Championship in a hard thought battle against Rey Mysterio. The main talking point was what transpired after these two poured their hearts and soul into the match, as The Viper stalked his prey, looking to punt Mysterio’s head off but his intentions were stopped by the return of The Animal, Batista! A former World Heavyweight Champion, Batista cleaned house, clearing the ring of Legacy and then finally putting his former Evolution cohort into the ground with a Batista Bomb – sending a clear message to the WWE Champion.

After the recap of last week, we swiftly shoot into the arena, not bothering tonight with the title video or any pyrotechnic displays, but the fans aren’t worried, they are still screaming their heads off.

***I WALK ALONE***​
The crowd gets even louder as THE ANIMAL, BATISTA, walks onto the stage, getting one of the biggest pops of the year! He’s dressed in a plain white t-shirt with a black leather jacket and black jeans covering his bottom half. As the crowd continue to cheer at the sight of Batista, he steadies himself on the ramp, taking in the reaction he’s getting before walking down the rest of the way. As he turns to walk to the steel steps, he slaps a couple of outstretched hands before jogging up the stairs.

Michael Cole: Welcome to Monday Night Raw! And right there is the man that returned to save his friend, and to get a piece of Randy Orton last week... The Animal, Batista! I’m Michael Cole, joined as ever by The Hardcore Legend, Mick Foley!

Mick Foley: Thank you, Michael. And it’s a great sight to see Batista back in a WWE ring, after the injuries he suffered at the hands of the WWE Champion, Randy Orton last year.

Michael Cole: Orton will not be happy that The Animal is back, and you’ll have to think he’ll be gunning for The Viper’s WWE Championship.

We cut to the ring, where Batista is standing in the centre, with a microphone in his hand.

Batista: Dammmnnnnn – it feels good to be back!

~ The Arkansa crowd react with a strong pop as Batista begins to walk around the ring, scanning the arena before stopping in the centre again...

Batista: Since December of last year... I’ve sat on my ass and watched... (shakes his head) watched as the WWE Champion, Randy Orton ran riot over Raw.

~ Boos from the crowd which draws a nod from Batista, agreeing with the fans feelings on the subject...

Batista: But right now... Randy Orton’s reign as the top dog here on Raw is over! Because The Machine is back! The Animal is back!

~ Huge pop from the fans...

Batista: (smiling) That’s right... I’m back (frowning) and the first man on my hit list is Randy Orton!

~ Batista has to lower his microphone which allows the fans to begin a very loud “BA-TIS-TA” chant, once it does down The Animal brings the mic back up...

Batista: On the fifteen of December, last year, Orton punted me in the head.

~ Heat for that moment...

Batista: Orton done to me what he’s done to Superstars like Shawn Michaels, Triple H and The Undertaker.

~ The crowd boo the memory of what The Viper has done to these huge Superstars...

Batista: I was out for a couple of months, before I was able to get back in the gym... but when I was cleared, I hit the gym every damn day. (runs his hand over his shaved head) In the gym every day, gettin’ ready for the moment where I returned.

~ Batista takes his black shades off and attaches them to the collar of his t-shirt...

Batista: That moment was last week... and the look on Orton’s face was priceless. The sheer look of terror that I saw told me I made the right decision in comin’ back last week.

~ The crowd agree as they start to cheer...

Batista: The fact that Orton is the WWE Champion is only a bonus... y’see... now not only can I get retribution... I can take his WWE Championship away from him!

~ The Animal turns to face the stage...

Batista: (stone faced) So Orton, I’m challengin’ you right now for the WWE Championship... so either get out here or stay back there and prove to everyone just how much of a bitch you are!

~ The Machine leans on the top rope, arms hanging over it while the fans turn to the stage, in anticipation of seeing the WWE Champion...

***VOICES***​
Immediately, the Raw crowd rise to their feet and begin to boo very loudly, all of that hate directed at the stage where the WWE Champion, Randy Orton walks out from behind the curtain. Wearing a Legacy t-shirt over his ring gear and the WWE Championship over his shoulder, he has a microphone in his hand and stops at the top of the ramp, looking down at The Animal, already the vein at the side of his head, pulsing.

Randy Orton: You should be careful what you wish for, Batista. (begins pacing from left to right on the ramp) I’ve put you out of action once, Dave, I have no problem doing it again. I have no problem with punting you in the temple one more time.

~ In the ring, Batista grins as Orton continues to pace...

Batista: Well... come on then Orton! Come on down and try... I dare you.

~ Big pop as Batista sits down on the second rope, inviting The Viper into the ring but he remains where he is, shaking his head, he’s now stopped pacing...

Randy Orton: Everybody knows we were in Evolution together, Dave, and everyone knows you were part of the reason I was kicked out of that group. I’ve dealt with two out of three... Triple H... and Ric Flair... I’ve put Triple H out of action, probably for good and I rid myself of Ric Flair. Now... only you remain.

~ Orton adjusts his WWE Championship on his shoulder, while Batista begins pacing the ring, identical to what The Viper was doing on the ramp...

Randy Orton: Do you understand why Triple H and Ric Flair kicked me out instead of you? It was because they saw me as a threat, Batista. They didn’t see you as half the threat that I was. Look at me now... if you thought I was a threat in Evolution... then you are in for a rough couple of weeks here on Raw... before I get rid of the final member of Evolution.

~ The camera closes in on Orton’s face, the vein throbbing again...

Randy Orton: I am currently the WWE Champion... and will be for a very... very long time. I am the most dangerous Superstar in the WWE... and the leader of the most dangerous group in the WWE... Legacy.

~ Batista continues to study Orton, waiting for the right moment to interject...

Randy Orton: The only reason you were able to do what you did last week... was because I wasn’t prepared for you. You took me by surprise... if I knew you were there... you wouldn’t be standing right now.

~ The Animal shakes his head with a grin...

Batista: So you are sayin’... that if you knew I was in the buildin’ last week... I wouldn’t be here tonight?

Randy Orton: (nodding) That’s right, Dave. I was this close (moves his fingers together) to punting your little friend Mysterio in the head when you took me by surprise. Don’t think for a second... you’d be standing if I knew.

~ Heat for that statement...

Batista: Well c’mon then! You know I’m here now, right?! Let’s put it to the test, come down here and try to take me down.

~ Orton takes a step forward, then stops to some heat from the crowd...

Batista: Or... you could stay up there and be the bitch that you are! Or... come down here and prove you got some balls!

~ Batista throws the microphone down, and it bounces out of the ring and he then proceeds to take off his leather jacket and throw it to the side, showing off his huge muscles...

On the stage, Orton thinks it over, mulling over his chances before finally taking a step down, and then another which causes the fans to cheer the potential brawl we are about to see. Batista backs off to the opposite ropes, allowing Orton half the ring to slide into it, but instead he takes his sweet time, walking down and climbing up the steel steps.

Michael Cole: It appears we’re gonna’ have a fight on our hands ladies and gentleman!

Mick Foley: This has been brewing for weeks! Batista and Randy Orton!

Batista bends down into a lower stance, moving forward from the ropes a little, while Orton begins to step through the ropes, leaving his championship on the apron, he looks wary but then fans suddenly start booing...

... as CODY RHODES AND TED DIBIASE HAVE SLID INTO THE RING... BEHIND BATISTA!

The Animal turns around in time to see them, and takes DiBiase down with a clothesline to a huge pop, and backs Rhodes into the corner with multiple punches to the stomach but HE’S BLINDSIDED BY THE WWE CHAMPION... AS ORTON JUMPS ONTO HIS BACK... CLUBBING HIM OVER AND OVER!


Michael Cole: Oh!

Batista manages to turn around while being clubbed by Orton, and succeeds in pushing him away, creating some separation as the crowd cheer the fight back. But as he moves on Orton... Rhodes suddenly hits him with a chop block! Batista lies on one knee, as Legacy surround him, pushing him down to his chest near the corner, and the three men begin stomping on The Animal to mega heat!

Mick Foley: This is a mugging, Michael!

Michael Cole: Once again Legacy have overpowered their opponent, the sheer number advantage playing a huge part here!

The down pour of heat which is currently going on begins to change to very, very loud cheers and the cameras whirl to the ramp where... REY MYSTERIO IS SPRINTING DOWN TO THE RING!

Michael Cole: Rey Mysterio!

Mick Foley: He’s returning the favour tonight!

The cheers alert Legacy to something that’s not right, so DiBiase turns around to see Mysterio sliding into the ring, he attempts to cut Rey off with a clothesline but Rey ducks it, hits the ropes and hits a tilt-a-whirl headscissors... which propels DiBiase out of the ring!

Orton continues to pound on Batista while Rhodes is next to meet Mysterio, clubbing him in the back, but Rey wheels around and lashes a kick off the shin of Rhodes! Rhodes backs away into the ropes, and Mysterio hits him with a jumping drop kick, sending Cody falling through the ropes!

Randy turns around and sees his cohorts have been dealt with, so with one lasting kick to the stomach of The Animal, he dives to the mat and rolls out of the ring, grabbing his WWE Championship from the apron and backing up the ramp. He’s soon joined by Rhodes and DiBiase, whilst Rey helps Batista to his feet!


Michael Cole: It appears that Legacy are running for the hills, they’ve been-

Mick Foley: I wouldn’t be so sure, Michael.

Orton and the rest of Legacy begin to talk in a huddle, the WWE Champion being the most vocal while Batista and Rey turn to face them, inviting them back into the ring. And they seem to want to oblige as they take a step back towards the ring...

***THE GREAT GATE OF KIEV***
Legacy turn on their heels to face the stage, where Jerry Lawler, the Raw General Manager walks out from behind the curtain. He gets a somewhat negative response, more of buzz kill heat but he doesn’t seem to care, he’s focused on what’s transpiring in his arena tonight.


Jerry Lawler: Hold on a minute, guys. Orton, Legacy, stop right there, do not make another step towards that ring.

~ Some heat here as Batista and Rey shake their heads in the ring, they wanted more of Legacy tonight...

Jerry Lawler: You five want to fight? That’s fine, but you’ll do it in a match.

~ Orton cocks his head, mulling over what Jerry might say while the fans are more pleased...

Jerry Lawler: Tonight... in our main event... it will be Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase... taking on the team of Rey Mysterio... (pointing at the ring) and THE ANIMAL... BATISTA!!

{Michael Cole: Wow!}

~ The Arkansa crowd respond with a massive pop, whilst Mysterio and Batista grin in the ring, Legacy turn to face them, but Orton stays staring at the Raw GM...

Jerry Lawler: But, right now, I want you all out of the ring!

With that Orton turns and faces the ring, the entire group backing up the ramp, watching as Batista leans over the ropes, grinning from ear to ear while Mysterio climbs one of the turnbuckles, pointing at a group of fans below him.

{Commercials}​

*Backstage – Hallway*​

Backstage, the Raw General Manager, Jerry Lawler is walking down a narrow hall way, perhaps on his way to his office when he’s stopped by a trio of Divas, namely Gail Kim, Mickie James & Michelle McCool.

Gail Kim: Jerry...

~ The King turns to face the trio, with a smile on his face...

Jerry Lawler: Girls... what can I do for ya’?

~ Gail nods at Mickie who nods at Michelle...

Michelle McCool: Well... we heard that you need a challenger for Maryse’s Women’s Title?

Jerry Lawler: Yeah, that’s right, Michelle.

Mickie James: Well, we had an idea. Let’s face it, no Diva in the locker room particularly likes Maryse.

~ Mickie pauses while the other two girls nod...

Mickie James: So, um, we had an idea. But uh, could we chat about it somewhere... private?

~ Lawler looks around and sees some workers milling around before turning back to the Divas in front of him...

Jerry Lawler: Uh, yeah sure. Just follow me to my office.

All Three Divas: Great!

~ Lawler leads the way as the foursome walk past the camera man and out of sight...

*Ringside*​

1 – Mr. Kennedy & MVP vs. Jesse & Festus

The new number one contenders for the World Tag Team Titles faced off tonight against Raw’s newest team, Jesse and Festus after their move from SmackDown over to Raw, but it wasn’t a very successful one for the two loveable chaps.

Kennedy and MVP dominated from the outset, isolating Jesse from his bigger tag team partner, really showing that they can work together as a team. The bulk of the action took place with MVP as the legal man with Festus, showing off his wide array of skills in the ring, but Kennedy got some time in as well to show what he can do.

The fans were behind the number one contenders and Michael Cole done his best to sell the fact that The Monarchy may be underestimating these two as they’re a “random put together team”. But nonetheless, Jesse eventually got the tag to the bigger man, but in the end MVP and Mr. Kennedy were just too good, picking up the victory and showing that they are more than a match for The Monarchy after beating an established team such as Jesse and Festus.

Winners – Mr. Kennedy & MVP @ 4.02

MVP is the man that made the pin and Mr. Kennedy joins him in the ring, and they have their arms raised by the referee, before they each take a turnbuckle.

Michael Cole: A solid victory here tonight for MVP and Mr. Kennedy over an established team like that, that’ll no doubt give them a lot of confidence heading into Vengeance in a couple of weeks.

Mick Foley: No offence to Jesse and Festus but they aren’t exactly the greatest team we’ve ever had on Raw, Kennedy and Porter will need to up their game if they are to defeat the World Tag Team Champions, Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness.

In the ring, Raw interviewer, Todd Grisham climbs up and into it, microphone in hand and when MVP and Mr. Kennedy see him they walk over, as Grisham gets his question in his mind ready.

Todd Grisham: First of all, congratulations on your victory here tonight.

~ Fans respond with a good cheer and Kennedy attempts to get their reaction even louder by waving his hand upwards...

Todd Grisham: How do you feel after winning this match, getting a much needed momentum boost heading towards Vengeance? And a lot of people have been wondering how you can expect to win despite not being an “established” tag team?

~ MVP glances at Kennedy...

MVP: Well, for a “random put together team” goin’ up against an “established team” like those two, (turns to Kennedy) I thought we done a’ight.

Mr. Kennedy: (pulling the mic towards him) I thought we done pretty good.

MVP: Great even?

Mr. Kennedy: Exceptional?

MVP: Amazin’?

Mr. Kennedy: ... yeah I think they get it. Look, four eyes (laughs from the crowd while Todd looks a tad hurt), we’re gettin’ pretty sick of people callin’ us a “random put together team”... it doesn’t matter if we only met each other last week.

~ Todd moves the microphone over to MVP while Kenney puts his hands on his hips...

MVP: Y’see... Todd... we’ve known each other since two thousand and...?

~ Kennedy mouths “six”...

MVP: Two thousand and six... we know each other’s games inside and out. We have more experience in this ring than The Monarchy do, that’s for damn sure, and we’re gonna’ use all o’ that experience to take those tag titles away from them.

~ Kennedy takes the microphone...

Mr. Kennedy: You are lookin’ at the next World Tag Team Titles... you may not believe in us, poindexter, but these people do, ( to the crowd) ain’t that right?

~ Big pop as MVP scans the fans...

Mr. Kennedy: After Vengeance, you better believe that this “random put together team” will become-

~ Suddenly the crowd begin booing which alerts Kennedy and MVP, the duo turn around to see DREW MCINTYRE AND NIGEL MCGUINESS AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING!

They rush forward, but Drew nails Kennedy with a big boot and down he goes! Meanwhile, Nigel connects with a running clothesline, taking off the head of Porter!


Michael Cole: The Monarchy!

Drew picks Kennedy up and launches him over the top rope, he lands on his feet but the momentum propels him forward into the barricade with a sickening thud! Nigel and Drew turn their full attention to Porter, now that he’s the only man in the ring with them. They pull him to his feet, and Nigel throws him forward into McIntyre’s grasp, who plants him WITH A FUTURE SHOCK DDT!

Michael Cole: Damn it!

Mick Foley: They’re sending a message right now, Michael!

Drew and Nigel stand over Montel, but turn around when Kennedy re-enters the ring, running forward and trying to take down Drew, but Nigel pulls him off and hits him with a stiff uppercut! Kennedy stumbles back into the corner, leaving his neck exposed to McGuiness, so he grabs it and hoists him up, putting his ankles on the top turnbuckle... NAILING HIM WITH THE TOWER OF LONDON!

Michael Cole: Oh! He may have a broken neck, Mick!

It’s obvious hyperbole from Cole but the fans coincide with his worries, pouring heat on the World Tag Team Champions as Nigel stands above Kennedy and Drew is standing over Porter!

Michael Cole: This is sick, Mick.

Mick Foley: It seems the message has been sent, Michael.

{Commercials}​

*Backstage – Interview Area*​

Renee Young is standing by with one of Raw’s most exciting Superstars, TJ Perkins, who gets a solid pop from the crowd.

Renee Young: Hi! I’m Renee Young, standing by with TJ Perkins. (turns to Perkins) And TJ, tonight you face the Intercontinental Champion, William Regal, if you win this match then you put yourself right in the championship picture, can you tell me what’s running through your mind as you prepare for this match?

~ TJ thinks it over for a second...

TJ Perkins: Renee, you’re right... if I defeat Regal then you gotta’ imagine I’ll be at the front of the line for a shot at the title.

~ Renee nods in agreement...

TJ Perkins: Which means this match is the biggest I’ve had in my short career here. An’ I don’t plan on losin’... I can deal with pressure, and this is as much pressure as you’re gonna’ get. But what’s runnin’ through my mind?

~ TJ scratches his chin...

TJ Perkins: The fact that I know I can beat Regal... and the fact that I know once I do beat him, I’ll get my first shot at a WWE title. All I can do is go out there and do what I do best. I’m not a bigger talker... I do my best work in that ring, similar to Regal actually... but like I said after I beat him, The Puma will be known as the Intercontinental Champion.

~ All smiles from Perkins...

Renee Young: Well, the WWE universe has certainly taken to you since your debut, and it’s no surprise with your all action strategy in the ring, I hope it pays dividends for you later tonight. Thanks for your time.

~ Renee gets a thankful nod from TJ as he walks off to continue his preparations for the match later tonight...

*Ringside*​

2 – Non-Title Match
Women’s Champ’ Maryse vs. Sheila Lennox


It’s a fair cry away from the competition she faced last week, and it shows in the Women’s Championship attitude to this match. As she went to lock up with the brunette haired local talent she took a step back before bending down and flipping her hair, drawing heat from the crowd (and some wolf whistles from the men :side:). Throughout the bout, after each move, the champion took time out to make sure her hair was spotless, and make sure everyone in the arena saw how great she is at everything she does. After toying with her opponent for most of the match, embarrassing her at every opportunity... before finally putting her away with the French TKO!

Winner – Maryse @ 2.45

Without breaking a sweat, the Women’s Champion rolls off Lennox, and stands up, she tells the referee to get away from her as she raises her own hand before playing with her blonde locks.

Mick Foley: Damn, this girl loves herself.

Michael Cole: She is the current Women’s Champion, and one of the most beautiful Divas we’ve ever had.

Mick Foley: Is that why she always ignores you in the hall way?

Michael Cole: ... Yeah.

The French Canadian rips her championship from the clutches of the referee and then walks back over to the corner, bending over :)D) and demanding a microphone from the timekeepers table. He duly obliges and hands it over, nearly having his hand ripped off with the force that she tears it away from him.

Maryse: What is zis? (pointing at Lennox) Really?

~ Maryse walks over to Lennox and kicks her out of the ring, which draws some heat from the crowd...

Maryse: (re-adjusts the title on her shoulder) I am ‘ze Undisputed Women’s Champion and I have been for the past month and a half. Nobody... and I mean nobody in ‘zat locker room can beat me.

~ More heat for the arrogant blonde...

Maryse: (turns to the stage) Let’s run through everyone in ‘zat locker room, shall we? Michelle McCool? I beat her for the Divas Championship. Gail Kim? I defeated her ‘zat Backlash.

~ The champion laughs to herself...

Maryse: (flicking a piece of hair back) Mickie James? My first night on Raw, I beat her. (turning away from the stage) Katie Lea? Well... (motions around the arena) we all know what happened there.

~ She continues to laugh away to herself...

Maryse: All zese Divas have one thing in common... (smiling seductively) they couldn’t beat me. And no one will... because I plan on bein’ Undisputed Women’s Champion for a very long time... and no diva past or present will stop-

***THE GREAT GATE OF KIEV***​

Contrary to his first interruption of the evening, this time he gets a rousing pop as the Raw General Manager; Jerry Lawler makes his THIRD appearance of the night! Immediately, Maryse turns to the stage, arms out wide, exasperated at the interruption. Lawler, stops on the stage and has a microphone in his hand.

Jerry Lawler: Maryse... as ever... it’s a pleasure to see you.

~ Maryse rolls her eyes...

Jerry Lawler: But uh, that voice of yours was really gratin’ so I had to come out here.

~ Lawler chuckles away to himself while Maryse feigns laughter...

Jerry Lawler: Gettin’ serious here for a minute... earlier on I was in my office, thinkin’ of an opponent for you at Vengeance.

~ Maryse turns away from the stage, facing the hard camera and saying “another lamb to the slaughter” before turning back...

Jerry Lawler: So without further ado... allow me to introduce you to your opponent.

~ Almost immediately, one by one, Gail Kim (pop) ... Michelle McCool (heat)... and Mickie James (who gets the loudest reaction of the three) walk onto the stage, confusion in the eyes of the champion and some of the fans.

Maryse: Uh, Jerry...

~ Maryse laughs a little...

Maryse: I know... I know... it’s okay Jerry.

~ Jerry puts his arms out at the side, mouthing “what?”...

Maryse: It’s normal for people at zour age to mix things up.

~ “Ohh”...

Maryse: So... which one of zese Divas am I beatin’ at Vengeance?

Jerry Lawler: ... ... At Vengeance... you’ll be facing... (he looks along the line) every one of them!

~ WHAT?! Huge pop but Maryse’s grin changes in an instant...

Jerry Lawler: That’s right... you’ll be defendin’ that (points at her title) in a Fatal-Four-Way match!

{Michael Cole: Wow!

Mick Foley: That’s huge!}

~ Maryse goes mental in the ring, throwing the microphone down to the ground, and screaming “you can’t do this to me!” but suddenly MICKIE JAMES MAKE A BEELINE FOR THE RING!

The crowd rise to their feet as Mickie slides into the ring, looking to get her hands on the champion... but she gets out of dodge by sliding out the ring and backing away to the announce table!


Michael Cole: Look out!

In the ring, Mickie turns around into a FEROCIOUS CLOTHESLINE FROM MCCOOL!

Heat reigns down on the blonde but not for long as GAIL KIM SLIDES INTO THE RING... AND TAKES MICHELLE OUT WITH A LOW DROP KICK!!


Mick Foley: What a drop kick! Michelle’s down!

On the outside, Maryse turns around and SLAPS THE HELL OUT OF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! Gritting her teeth as she looks at the two announcers.

Michael Cole: Uh...?

Mick Foley: Was it somethin’ we said?

The action doesn’t end as Maryse skulks her way around the ring, stepping over McCool’s body, as in the ring, while Gail watches the champion go... she’s suddenly spun around and PLANTED WITH A MICK-DDT BY MICKIE JAMES!

Michael Cole: This is chaos!

Mickie lets her guard down as she watches Maryse head up the ramp as McCool slides into the ring, the heat accompanying that alerts Mickie who turns around, but gets kicked in the stomach before being hoisted up... and PLANTED WITH THE FAITH BREAKER!

Mick Foley: Someone needs to control these Divas!

Michael Cole: And the women at the centre of this chaos got out unscathed!

Maryse continues to back up the ramp, while McCool makes the universal motion across her stomach, signalling she wants that title.

Backstage – Batista’s Locker Room​

Backstage, Batista is sat on a steel chair, tying the laces of his boots, he gets a massive response from the fans inside the arena and then after a couple of seconds, Rey Mysterio walks into the shot.

Rey Mysterio: Dave.

~ He pats Batista on the shoulder, gathering his attention and a smile forms of Batista’s face, standing up...

Batista: (hugging Mysterio) Rey, what’s up? How you doin’?

~ Batista takes a step back, smiling...

Rey Mysterio: I’m good Dave, y’know. What happened las’ week... I uh, I wanna’ thank you.

~ Batista pats Rey on the shoulder...

Batista: Don’t worry ‘bout it... I couldn’t let them do to you what they did to me.

Rey Mysterio: Well, I thank you for that. If my kids saw that last week, I-

Batista: (holding his hands up) Like I said, don’t worry ‘bout it. But hey, I appreciate you helpin’ me earlier on. Seems we’re makin’ a habit out of savin’ each other’s asses. (laughs)

~ Pop from the crowd...

Rey Mysterio: Well, I better go get ready for our match later... see ya’ out there.

~ Rey gets another pat on the shoulder as he turns around, leaving the scene as Batista sits back down to continue lacing his boots up.

*Backstage – Legacy’s Locker Room*​

Interestingly enough, we cut straight to Batista and Rey’s opponents, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase sat on two steel chairs as the WWE Champion, Randy Orton paces.

Randy Orton: (punching a locker) Damn it!

~ Orton stops pacing and rubs his face...

Randy Orton: If Mysterio didn’t show his face we’d be done with Batista-

~ Suddenly, Josh Matthews enters the locker room, unannounced and taps The Viper on the shoulder...

Josh Matthews: Uh, Rand-

~ ORTON WHIRLS AROUND ON HIS HEELS AND GRABS MATTHEWS BY THE COLLAR! The crowd boo as they thrusts him back into the lockers, seething at the interviewer...

Randy Orton: (snarling) No questions.

Josh Matthews: (looking scared as hell) Bu- bu- but I’m just trying t- to do my job.

Randy Orton: (throwing Matthews to the side) I don’t care! Get out!

~ Matthews skulks away, his pride obviously shaken as Orton turns back to his cohort, breathing heavily...

Cody Rhodes: (wearily) Randy...

~ Orton looks up as Rhodes stands up...

Cody Rhodes: I got an idea.

~ Ted now stands up, looking at the side of Rhodes’ face...

Randy Orton: Go on...

Cody Rhodes: If we get of the jumpin’ bean, then we get Batista alone, right? Well...

~ Rhodes leans in to Orton, whispering something in his ear with DiBiase looking on. Rhodes backs away once he’s finished...

Randy Orton: (looking Cody up and down) That’s... that’s... actually a good idea.

~ A relieved expression appears on Cody’s face...

Ted DiBiase: Care to share?

~ It rhymed :)D)...

~ Rhodes looks at Orton who nods and then Cody turns to Ted but before he can explain, Orton puts his hand on the camera, pushing it down and we can only see the floor as Orton says...


Randy Orton: Out.

~ And with that, we cut away as the plan is being revealed to Ted...

*Ringside*​

***THIS FIRE BURNS***​

A thunderous pop greets the arrival of Mr. Money in the Bank, CM Punk, as he walks out onto the stage, wearing black and green ring attire and a “GTS” shirt on. He holds the briefcase in his hand while he surveys the arena before bending down, and checking the time on his invisible watch, before standing up and yelling “it’s clobbering time”! Meanwhile, in the ring, stands Charlie Haas, getting ready for the upcoming match.

Michael Cole: The past couple of weeks, we’ve seen the rivalry between Jack Swagger and CM Punk escalate. At first it was about the Money in the Bank briefcase, but because of recent events it has become more personal and-

Mick Foley: Whoa! Hold on!

Suddenly boos rain down on the arena as JACK SWAGGER CLOBBERS PUNK FROM BEHIND... SENDING HIM FLYING INTO THE APRON!

Haas’ stays in the centre of the ring, looking on as Swagger climbs on top of Punk and begins to punch him in the head, over and over. He stands up, grab Punk by the head and hurls him INTO THE BARRICADE! The ‘cade nearly moves a couple feet backwards as Punk lands with a thud, the crowd booing the hell out of Swagger.


Michael Cole: Did you hear that?!

Mick Foley: That was sick, Michael!

Swagger pulls Punk up once again, and this time tries to whip him into the steel steps... BUT PUNK REVERSES... AND SWAGGER RUNS KNEES FIRST INTO THE COLD STEEL! He flips over them and holds onto his knees, the pain searing through his legs as Punk regains his breath while leaning on the barricade. He begins to snarl and curse as he walks up to Swagger, pulling him up and SMASHING HIS HEAD OFF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!

Michael Cole: Oh!

Mick Foley: I think it’s time to make ourselves scarce, Michael!

Indeed you do, Mick, because Punk has just ripped the top of the announce table off! The crowd respond with a massive pop, but Punk turns around to get Swagger but he’s TAKEN OUT... BY SWAGGER SMASHING THE... RING BELL OFF HIS FOREHEAD!

Swagger throws the bell down, and bends down next to Punk, who looks up at him and we see he’s BUSTED open! Blood is pouring down the face of Punk, it’s not as bad as Eddie Guerrero at Judgment Day but it’s damn near similar!


Michael Cole: We need to get help out here! Punk’s just been busted open!

Swagger pulls Punk to his feet, but Punk being the fighter that he is, tries to fight back, hitting a couple of punches but then The All American knees him in the stomach. Punk keels over, and Swagger throws him HEAD FIRST INTO THE STEEL POST!

Huge heat is raining down on Swagger but they turn to cheers as CHARLIE HAAS ATTEMPTS TO HELP! He grabs Swagger from behind, pulling him around and going for a punch, but Jack blocks it and hoists Haas up, and RAMS HIS BACK INTO THE SAME POST THAT PUNK GOT THROWN INTO!


Michael Cole: Aw, come on!

The heat is huge right now as Swagger grabs Punk, getting blood all over his hands as he pulls him towards the announce table. He grabs a loose cable, and... WRAPS IT AROUND PUNK’S THROAT!

Mick Foley: Come on, Swagger! That’s enough!

Swagger shouts something at Mick along the lines of shut the hell up, but we can’t hear it as the crowd are booing the hell out of him. It’s damn near riot level of heat as Swagger continues to tighten the cable around the throat! After what seems like an age, he finally lets go, the Money in the Bank holder falling to the ground in a heap!

The All American stands over Punk, and keeps yelling “c’mon, Punk!” before pulling him to his feet and bringing him to the front of the announce table. He holds him up, looking into the reddened eyes of his rival, before using his free hand, and wiping it on the forehead of Punk, then rubbing his chest with Punk’s blood!


Mick Foley: Swagger seems to have snapped, Michael.

Swagger then suddenly kicks Punk in the stomach and lifts him up...

Michael Cole: No! Don’t do this, Jack!

Too late... SWAGGER SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH THE GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB... RIGHT THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!!!!

Michael Cole: No! Someone get help!

Punk lies in amongst the ruins of the table as Swagger stands above him, blood across his chest and looks around the arena, before soaking in the loudest reaction he’s ever had, before leaving. He looks over his shoulder at Punk as he walks, before stepping over Haas and walking up the ramp as medical staff, Arn Anderson, Ricky Steamboat and the Raw General Manager, Jerry Lawler come running down to check on the battered and bruised Punk.

Mick Foley: Wow! I didn’t think Swagger had this in him.

Michael Cole: Swagger... what have you done?

Swagger stands on the stage as the medics bend down to help Punk. We then get A LOT of replays of everything that just transpired before we cut back to real time, where Punk is on his feet, albeit with the help of Arn and Ricky, who hold him up, and help him around the ring. He gets a very loud C-M-PUNK chant but he’s too damaged to notice as he’s helped up the ramp.

The video opens in a dark room, a man is standing with a light shining behind him, shadowing his face, but we can tell it’s The Viper, Randy Orton staring at the ground.

Creepy Male Narrator: Vengeance.

Crashing shots of Orton looking up slowly, while interspersed are shots of him punting Vince McMahon in the head, The Viper completes the motion of looking up.

Creepy Male Narrator: Vengeance is the infliction of injury on a man who has wronged you.

Shot of Randy, in slow motion, RKO’ing Ric Flair.

Creepy Male Narrator:Vengeance is when Superstars take action against their enemies.

Greyed-out footage of The Viper and Legacy raising The Undertaker on a cross.

Creepy Male Narrator: Vengeance equals pain. For who? Isn’t always clear.

Now, we get footage of Backlash where Orton punts Triple H in the head.

We’re back in the room, we see Orton grinning at the camera, and then he walks past it.

Then we footage of him punting The Animal, Batista in the skull.

Back in the room, an unknown man enters the room, walking in front of the camera, we can’t see the man’s face though.

???: Vengeance will be mine.

~ WWE Vengeance ~
_____

Back from the commercial, we again get some replays of what just happened, before we cut to the announce booth.

Michael Cole: Well, I... I don’t know what to say, Mick.

Mick Foley: No one does, Michael. These fans are in shock at the things that Jack Swagger just did. But let me tell you something – Jack Swagger may have just made the biggest mistake of his life.

Michael Cole: This has gone past Money in the Bank briefcases... this is about rivalry... this is about blood.

*Backstage – Interview Area*​

Backstage, Renee Young is standing by with WWE Diva, Melina.

Renee Young: Well, uh, it’s a very strange mood back here after what just transpired, but nonetheless we have a show to get through. So, joining me right now is... Melina.

~ Young turns to the pretty Diva who responds with a smile...

Renee Young: Melina, in two weeks time, you go one on one with Beth Phoenix... in the first ever female Extreme Rules match, can we get your thoughts on that?

~ Melina pauses for a moment, adjusting her hair...

Melina:
Renee, at Fully Loaded... I went one on one with Beth, (smiles) and I beat her.

~ Pop...

Melina: But you know Beth, right? (shakes her head) She didn’t take that loss very well... in fact, she attacked by after the match... and she escalated things between me and her. And now... (laughs to herself) and now it’s escalated to the first ever Divas Extreme Rules match.

~ Another pop...

Melina: Jerry Lawler wants us to settle our differences... and that’s just what we’re goin’ to do. Beth things she’s the alpha female here on Raw... but what she doesn’t know... is just how extreme... I can be.

~ Evil grin from The A-Lister...

Melina: The Pay-Per-View is named Vengeance... how... how apt. Y’see, Renee, I’ve yet to get my Vengeance on Beth yet. Sure... I got a piece of her last week... but that isn’t enough, for the first time ever, the WWE Divas are goin’ Extreme and at the end of the night... only one Diva will be leavin’ that ring, still walkin’.

~ Melina looks dead on at the camera...

Melina: And, it isn’t gonna’ be you, Beth.

With that The A-List Diva turns on her heels and leaves the interview area.

*Ringside*​

3 – Shawn Michaels vs. Wade Barrett

In what was a solid enough match, Shawn Michaels and Wade Barrett battled for seven minutes, with Barrett doing most of the offense, Michaels doing his best to make Barrett look like a million dollars. But it wasn’t always Barrett dominating, in the beginning Michaels took control with a fast paced start, looking to get last week’s loss to The Miz out of his system. He looked to be putting the match to bed before Barrett took control, catching Michaels in mid-air and hitting a Fall-A-Way slam, taking control.

The bulk of the match then took place with Barrett dominating, working over the neck and back of his opponent. Barrett incorporated much of his bare knuckle background style into this match, using his fists as well as showing off a good knowledge of traditional wrestling.

But, in the end, Shawn Michaels began to make a comeback. He fought his way back into the match, getting the crowd fired up and looking to put this match to bed. But suddenly...

*I CAME TO PLAY*​

The wrestling came to a standstill, Michaels turned to the stage to see The Miz walk out to a massive batch of heat. With a smug look on his face, he simply stood on the ramp, looking on as Michaels was wondering what he was doing. Michaels then realized he was actually in a match, he turned around but it was right into a Bull Hammer Elbow!

With The Miz grinning, Barrett sunk into the cover, and despite the crowd begging for a kick out, Wade Barrett won the biggest match of his career!

Winner – Wade Barrett @ 7.40

With a helping hand from The Miz in the form of a distraction, Wade Barrett has his hand raised by the referee, soaking in the heat from the crowd, and enjoying his biggest victory yet.

Michael Cole: Shawn Michaels had this match won, Mick, he had Barrett on the back foot and if not from the distraction from The Miz, we would’ve had a different outcome here tonight.

Mick Foley: I can’t disagree with you there. I thought The Miz and Shawn Michaels were done with each other after what happened last week, but it seems we haven’t seen the last of this rivalry.

Barrett exits the ring and backs up the ramp, while The Miz walks down and jogs up the steel steps, adjusting his suit collar before stepping into the ring and grabbing a microphone.

He kneels down beside the loopy Michaels.


The Miz: (deeply) Did you think we were done?

~ The Miz shakes his head, looking up at the crowd booing him before turning his attention back to Michaels.

The Miz: We’re not done... (slowly) not by a long shot.

~ Michaels finally opens his eyes, looking up at Miz but he’s doesn’t really know where he is...

The Miz: Congratulations... you made up with Bret The Hitman Hart.

~ Big pop. The Miz shakes his head...

The Miz: Last week, you were too pre-occupied with Bret. You had him in your head, and what did he do... he cost you the match.

~ Big heat as the crowd know that it isn’t true...

The Miz: It came full circle, Shawn. All those years ago, you screwed him... now he screws you. He’s got his closure. But the first thing, I imagine, for you, is knowing that you lost to me.

~ Heat.

The Miz: The man you hate, the man that the whole locker room hates. A kid from Cleveland, not talented enough to be in the wrestling business, a kid that HAS NO RIGHT to be in a WWE ring, right?

~ Miz shakes his head...

The Miz: The mighty Shawn Michaels, the legendary Heartbreak Kid, got beat by The Miz.

~ Even more heat. Shawn tries to lift his arm to Miz’ face but he swats it away...

The Miz: Get used to it Shawn, because despite my victory over you last week... I’m not done. It was a little tainted for my taste, just like yours was at Fully Loaded. So... I’m gonna’ beat you again.

~ The Miz grins from ear to ear...

The Miz: Two weeks time... Vengeance... The Miz versus Shawn Michaels, it’s been cleared by Jerry Lawler... and it’s going to be a best... out of three falls match.

~ The fans don’t really know how to react...

The Miz: No excuses... for either of us. We’re gonna’ settle this, and at the end of the night, it will be The Miz named as the man that defeated the famous Shawn Michaels on PPV, thus starting my journey to become WWE Champion.

~ Huge heat...

The Miz: Because I’m The Miz... (standing up) and I’m AWESOMEEEE!

The music of The Awesome One blares out as he stands up, dropping the microphone and grinning down at his opponent at Vengeance. The Miz soaks in the heat he’s getting, before backing away, and exiting the ring, leaving Michaels to recover a little.

Commercial Break​

4 – Non-Title
I.C Champ. William Regal vs. TJ Perkins


With The Monarchy nowhere in sight, it seemed TJ Perkins had a fair shot at defeating the Intercontinental Champion, William Regal. In the beginning, Perkins used his speed advantage, keeping the larger and slower, Regal, off his game and struggling to get a foothold in the match. Perkins wowed the crowd with some of his high octane offense, and when Regal left the ring to regroup, Perkins done it again, wowing the crowd with a springboard moonsault onto the I.C Champion.

Perkins got a couple of near falls before going for another move from the top rope, looking for a missile drop kick, but Regal was smart enough to dodge it, and then dive on Perkins, keeping him grounded. He utilised many knees, and stiff elbows to the downed TJ Perkins, using his cunning to get back into the match, and get into his game plan. The I.C Champion continued to give TJ some stiff shots, wearing him down as he prepared to end the match.

But as Regal was attempting to do just that, Perkins got a new lease of life, battling back, fighting with all his strength, until he created enough separation to hit a very hard Roundhouse kick to the head. With Regal down and out, TJ hit his standing Corkscrew Moonsault, getting a near fall.

With the crowd groaning at the kick out, TJ went to the top rope, looking to hit the 450 Splash, but suddenly Nigel McGuiness was sprinting down the ramp, hopping onto the apron and drawing the referees attention. And from the crowd, came Drew McIntyre, behind the referee, climbing onto the apron, pushing TJ off the turnbuckle, right onto the mat below. With Nigel still distracting the ref, Drew dropped down, grabbed TJ and hit him with the Future Shock DDT onto the floor!

Drew ducked away as Nigel dropped down, joining him on the other side, with William Regal shouting on the referee to begin counting. He did so, ever so slowly getting up to five, then six, but at seven we saw a bit of movement, eight – TJ tried to prop himself up, nine – to the dismay of the crowd, he fell back down. And the referee counted ten.

Winner – William Regal via Count Out @ 12.58

A huge cry of heat comes from the crowd, while Regal drops to his knees, overreacting to his count out victory here tonight. The referee exits the ring, and grabs the Intercontinental Championship before climbing back in and handing it to Regal who yanks it away. Drew and Nigel, the World Tag Team Champions join Regal in the ring, but then Regal whispers something to Nigel and he exits the ring.

Grabbing Perkins and rolling him back into the ring. He still seems dazed, lying in the centre of the ring with The Monarchy, sans Wade Barrett, surrounding him. He gets up to his knees, looks at Nigel and in spirited fashion says “come on then”.

But he’s smashed from the side, by William Regal who CONNECTS WITH A KNEE TREMBLER!!


Michael Cole: Oh, jesus, right to the temple!

TJ is totally out now, lying face down but The Monarchy aren’t finished. Regal motions to Nigel, who walks forward and picks TJ up, but before he can do any damage...

***WRITTEN IN MY FACE***​

Despite only debuting a couple of weeks ago, Sheamus gets a massive reaction as HE SPRINTS DOWN THE RAMP... WITH A STEEL PIPE IN HIS HAND!

Mick Foley: Here comes help!

He slides into the ring, and swings wildly at McIntyre who ducks, and quickly dives out of the ring. He swings at Nigel but he does the same, ducking and getting the hell out of there. Sheamus turns looking for Regal, but he’s already on the stage, and is soon joined by his Monarchy brethren. Regal holds his Intercontinental Title high in the air, as Sheamus looks on, snarling at the group that beat him to a pulp last week.

Michael Cole: Someone needs to get some help from TJ, Mick. He doesn’t look good, not at all.

{Commercial Break}​

***

Sweeping view the Aloha Stadium, basking in sunlight.

We now cut to a beach setting where JTG and Shad are walking down the beach, both dressed in brightly coloured shorts.

Shad: Yo J’ – check out the honey’s around here.

JTG: Man I love Hawaii – j’yeah!

Shad stops in his tracks.

Shad: Hold up, man. Weren’t we supposed to be somewhere?

J’ puts his fingers to his chin, thinking it over, before SmackDown Divas Tiffany and Kelly Kelly walk by in bikinis. Cryme Tyme’s mouth actually drop at the sight.

JTG: Uh, I... I... don’t think so man.

Shad: Nah man, I definitely think we forgot somethin’.

JTG: Oh man, check this guy out.

Shad: Hold up – isn’t that? Aw man. That’s what we forgot.

The camera turns around to see none other than Vince McMahon, strutting up the beach towards the duo. He looks extremely angry, which clashes with the comical element of Vince wearing a full suit on a hot beach.

Vince begins shouting at Cryme Tyme as he walks up the beach.

Vince McMahon: YOU TWO DAMN CRIMINALS. I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU TWO EVERYWHERE!

Vince continues walking, eventually reaching them, the duo hang their heads in shame.

Vince McMahon: Who the hell do you think you are?!

Shad: Mister-

Vince McMahon: SHADUP! Now go, the Aloha Stadium, move it or YOUR FIRRRREEDDDDD!

Cryme Tyme turn on their heels and run up the beach, they start going in slow motion, like the people on Baywatch would. Vince shakes his head and then turns to face the camera. The two Divas appear on the side of the smiling Vince.

Vince McMahon: SummerSlam – the best ending you can think of.

The camera moves up, away from Vince and we are eventually in the sky, where we see The Aloha Stadium again.

Narrator: WWE SummerSlam – a four hour extravaganza. The Summer comes to an end with SummerSlam!

5 – The Colons; Carlito & Primo vs. Cryme Tyme; JTG & Shad

In a short contest, two of Raw’s best tag teams battled it out in a bid to show who was the better team. Primo and Shad started off for their respective teams, and in the early going it was Cryme Tyme taking advantage with Shad using his strength to overpower the smaller man. The crowd were split in their support which made for an awkward dynamic every time someone was tagged in.

At the end of the contest, it was JTG who was the legal man, and Carlito was for his team. They battled after Primo had taken out Shad with a high flying move. JTG and Carlito battled, momentum shifting before JTG finally put the Colon away with Da Shout Out!

Winners – Cryme Tyme @ 6.39

JTG rolls out of the ring, receiving a respectful pop, he falls back onto the steel ramp as Shad makes his way around the ring to join his homie. In the ring however, it’s not as rosey, Carlito is now on his knees, shaking his head, looking down and a bit frustrated. Primo slides into the ring, and tries to help Carlito up... but Carly pushes him away!

With some boos from the crowd, Primo looks at his family member, asking what the problem is. Carlito seems to realize what he just did, and begins to apologise, saying what he did was in the heat of the moment. Primo takes it well, accepting the apology, and the two brothers slap hands and embrace in a MANLY hug.


Michael Cole:
Well, that was certainly interesting.

Mick Foley: Carlito didn’t seem best pleased about the loss, could we be seeing cracks in The Colons?

{Commercial Break}

Back from the commercial...

***VOICES***

A booming reaction of heat greets the music of the WWE Champion, Randy Orton who slowly walks onto the stage, wearing a black Legacy tee, with the WWE Championship hanging from his shoulder. He takes a look around the arena before adjusting the title onto his shoulder and walking on down the ramp. He walks around the ring, and takes a seat on a Steel Chair which was conveniently placed near the announce table.


Main Event – Batista & Rey Mysterio vs. Legacy; Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase w/Randy Orton

The commentators spend the first chunk of the match going over how Orton has been running riot over Raw for the past few months, and if Batista is finally the man that will be able to stop him. They also question what Legacy were talking about backstage in regards to dealing with Rey Mysterio, and then dealing with Batista. Whilst they were talking, some wrestling was, indeed, taking place, and it was Rey Mysterio who was on top of his game, using his speed to get the advantage, and then tagging out to bring in the strength of the tag team.

Orton watched from ringside as his Legacy stable mates were being destroyed by The Animal and his partner. The frustration was growing as he watched, but finally Legacy got a foot hold in the match when DiBiase distracted ‘Tista on the apron, and Rhodes took advantage with a chop block. From there, Legacy utilized quick tags, keeping the big man from his partner, working over his legs.

The WWE Champion continued to watch, growing pleased with what he was seeing, but his delight turned sour as Batista began to fight out of his predicament. He was stuck in the corner when he elbowed Rhodes in the face, then took out DiBiase on the apron. The Animal got fired up, hitting a series of high impact moves before hitting his signature spinebuster, but when he pulled Rhodes up for the Batista Bomb, his leg buckled and down he went.

Rhodes got the tag to his partner, just as Batista got the tag to his, and the two men met in the centre with DiBiase and Rey trading punches and kicks, respectively. This continued for a few minutes, with Rey eventually getting the better of DiBiase, until Rhodes got involved, distracting Rey. Legacy got control of the match again, but it didn’t last long though as Rey used his speed to get away from them and get the hot tag to The Animal.

Seemingly shrugging off his injured leg, Batista ran through everyone in his path, bulldozing through DiBiase and then knocking Rhodes from the apron. The crowd were on fire as Batista was looking to end the match, he hit another spinebuster, and then walked over to the ropes, shaking them, getting the crowd up before turning around... INTO AN RKO!

Winner – Batista & Rey Mysterio via Disqualfication @ 10.33

Despite Batista and Mysterio being named as winners, it’s a very negative response as The Viper stands above The Animal, having just hit his specialised RKO. Rhodes joins him in the ring and begins stomping on Batista, but Orton slaps him on the shoulder and points to Rey. Rhodes makes his way towards the little man, while DiBiase slides into the ring with... with handcuffs?

Michael Cole: What the?

The crowd immediately begin booing as Orton drags Batista into a corner, and then DiBiase attaches the handcuffs to his arm, and then CUFFS HIM TO THE BOTTOM ROPE!!

Mick Foley: He’s... he’s handcuffed!

Michael Cole: I don’t like this.

DiBiase and Orton turn around and see Mysterio being thrown into the ring by Cody. He struggles to his knees, and Orton tells DiBiase to leave the ring. The two members of Legacy, grab two steel chairs and slide them over to Orton. Batista seems to be coming too, but he doesn’t realise what is going on.

Orton pulls Mysterio up, he tries to fight, by hitting Orton in the stomach with some weak punches but he’s kneed in the stomach. Orton pushes Rey back, he hits the ropes, and bounces back... RIGHT INTO AN RKO!

The massive impact on the ring alerts Batista to what is going on, he tries to get up and help, but he’s then realized he’s cuffed to the bottom rope. He tries to pull himself free but it’s no use, he has to watch as Orton places a Steel Chair underneath the face of Mysterio!


Michael Cole: We need to get some help out here!

Orton glances at Batista, before grabbing the other Steel Chair, and with Rhodes and DiBiase watching from the ramp – raises the chair above his head... one more glance at The Animal... AND BRINGS IT DOWN ON THE BACK OF MYSTERIO’S HEAD!

Michael Cole: Oh! That’s sickening!

The heat is indescribable as Orton looks down at Mysterio, as Batista tries violently to break free from the cuffs, but The Viper knows they won’t break so he walks closer to Batista. With his WWE Championship now in his hands, he places it just out of reach of Batista. The last image of the show – Randy Orton, WWE Championship, just out of Batista’s reach.

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Opening promo was pretty standard and I liked it. Bringing up between these two was smart to do. However, I did think Batista sounded a little awkward at times. Maybe it’s just me thinking back that Batista wasn’t much of a promo guy, but to me, he just sounded weird at some parts. What Orton had to say back was pretty good actually. I can imagine that could get under the skin of Batista. Typical stuff in the opening as it sets up our main event that’ll surely end dirty.

Divas segment involving Lawler? PUPPIES! :mark: But anyway, looking forward to see what you do here. The divas division has been tolerable in your thread and I hope it continues. I’m still not buying Kennedy and MVP as a team and getting them a win over a jobber tag team just doesn’t do it for me. I’ll need to see a lot more from this duo to actually be impressed with them. As for the aftermath, it seemed kind of TNA-ish to have an interview right after their win but I guess you needed that to happen to set up this feud. The Monarchy is my favorite part of RAW and seeing them feud with this team is fine just because they’re involved. Now, I may be interested in what Kennedy and MVP do next week to get back at them. You did use two sneak attacks already though, so you may wanna spread that out.

First of all, RENEE YOUNG :mark: I’m a fan of Perkins so seeing him get a shot at any title is good in my books. I liked what he had to say about his work in the ring doing his talking instead of his literal words. Perkins can be a decent player in the midcard and a feud with Regal will likely keep him relevant. Plz keep him relevant! God damn, the divas are turning loose here huh? Again, you used the attack from behind/brawl method, so that’s three times now. Again, it’s better to mix it up once in a while as it gets old reading it over and over and over again. Hmm, 3MB debut?

Mysterio/Batista segment was again kind of awkward. Mysterio at least, sounded awkward to me. Not sure why he’d mention his kids in this, just seemed like a way to get him some pop. But anyway, I think this segment between the two should’ve been purely based on what they’d do against Legacy, kind of fell flat on me here. Then you have the Legacy segment next up which I think is fine because we didn’t really get what they were planning. If they did reveal their plans, then it should’ve been broken up, but this was fine. Attack from behind again? Four times now.

Very good promo by Melina here. Extreme Rules match between her and Beth will be crazy. I’ll be looking to see if you can top TNA’s match of Gail/Taryn, so yeah. Good dialogue from Melina and I’m glad you went with her doing a promo instead of Beth because Melina’s a pretty good talker. Kind of a cheap way for HBK to lose here. I think going a different route would’ve been better here. Just seemed kind of random that HBK would get distracted so easily. But hell, his match with Miz at Vengeance should be a good one with it being 2 out of 3 Falls.

Perkins looked kind of weak here after that beating he took. Again, we get some kind of interference, I’ll count that as five times in the show already. I wasn’t surprised when Sheamus came out to make the save because it seems that’s the theme for this episode. But I will say that a Sheamus/Regal feud can be very interesting, but where does Perkins fit into all of this? Maybe it becomes a triple threat? I don’t know, has me intrigued though. Please don’t break up the Colons cause they’d be boring as hell as singles competitors, or well, Primo would be. Carlito can do fine on his own but I’d rather he be in a tag team, that suits him better imo.

End of the show counts as six times you’ve used the dirty finish, might be a little too much imo. However, the main event did advance the story of Batista and Orton and that’s all that really matters. Not sure how Mysterio comes back from this but I’m guessing he’ll somehow be involved in the match at Vengeance. Definitely adds more fuel for Batista to destroy Orton but here’s hoping next week comes with something different.

Overall, the show was kind of predictable and very heel-heavy. The outcome for almost everything had the heels come out on top, I think you’d wanna mix that up. However, the Vengeance card is looking pretty decent so far. I gotta say that I’m enjoying SD more than RAW atm, not your best show but still worth reading. Onto the next (Y)

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Raw Review


Hey bro, great to see you still doing this. As I told you earlier I’m gonna check this out. I haven’t read any shows lately, so let’s see how this goes…

First off, I like the banner :D. I liked the recap you gave of what happened last week with Orton/Tista. Also, it was good to start the show off with him returning.

Batista segment: You’re giving good detail on his entrance. Detail is one of my pet peeves, so I applaud you there. Foley on commentary, epic. Good little tidbit from Big Dave, basically sums his whole return to Raw up. Also, there’s a few grammatical errors but no biggie. Good start from Orton, he’s in character. I’m assuming by him mentioning Evolution and HHH/Flair, that this whole feud is going to be a whole “I’m the best of Evolution and I’ll take you out again” feud. OK back and forth comments between the two. In typical Legacy fashion, it’s a 3-on-1 attack. Rey saves the day...tag match perhaps? Yep. :L at King being GM, it’s cool though. Looking forward to the match, Legacy to cheat somehow, methinks. Overall: Good segment to open the show. As I said before, a few grammatical errors but it’s OK. BTW, it’s Arkansas. :)

GM Jerry: Hmmm….King and the divas. I have to wonder what’s going on in the “private meeting”. Lucky bastard :L. Anyways, onto the Kennedy/MVP match. Before I continue, there wasn’t any description or commentary beforehand at all. Were they automatically in the ring? Was anything said, or did Cole/Mick speak? Didn’t like this too much, but it’s not a problem. I’ll admit, I’m a horrible match writer so I don’t really know how to review a match, but I’ll give it a try. Story>matches, ftw!! Anyways, Good recap of the match, can’t wait to see how Monarchy take this. I agree with Foley on his comments, Jesse/Festus aren’t that much of competition, nuff said. Tbh (this is just me), I don’t like when the stars themselves call Monarchy established and themselves a random put together team, no worries though. Instead of “we done”, it’s “we did”, just something I caught onto. Kennedy/MVP are in character, however…they met last week?? Pretty sure they’ve met beforehand. And here’s Drew/Nigel…how was it unnoticed they were coming down? Good attack by the Monarchy, expecting Kennedy/MVP to get their revenge. Overall: Good match to hype Kennedy/MVP up, and then a good attack by their rivals, it continues the story and sets up for their revenge.

TJ Perkins: Wasn’t really sure who he was, but you clarified for me :). Nice tidbit from him, can’t wait to see how he can fare against Regal. And now to the divas match, I’m now assuming that you just skip the whole entrance/pre-match tidbit. Who’s Sheila? Ah ok, I see :p. Nice little squash victory for Maryse. I have to wonder how that private meeting is going :L. Nice promo from Maryse talking trash about all the divas. She seems in character, so I applaud you. What happened to Katie Lea?? Here’s King. :L at him saying he was in his office thinking. Nice, a fatal 4 way! Can’t wait, shall be interesting. Interesting moment with the three divas turning on each other as Maryse escapes, it should make more an interesting match. Also, have to wonder who the four “rockers” are. BTW, was that the entire video package? Not much detail was given, so I’m unsure. Anyways….overall the entire segment was good. Sets up for the fatal 4 way, and there’s turmoil brewing already, so it works good.

Batista: Good little chat between Dave and Rey, just promotion for the match later on. Turmoil in the Legacy locker room. “Get of the jumpin’ bean”, what’s that mean? Hmm, can’t wait to see the plan they’re conspiring.

Punk: Clobbering time!! So, I’m confused. All of the previous matches have had no real pre-match tidbits, but this one does… Swagz attacks, I like it. Eddie at Judgment Day? Remind me, young chap. I’m not sure if WWE at that time would allow Punk being busted open, but what the hell, it’s BTB. I like that Punk tries to fight back as well as Haas trying to help. I like the cable choke, but still unsure if that’d be seen on WWE tv. Great attack by Swagger. I’m a Swagz fanboy so I can’t wait to see what’s next for him :p. Overall: good segment, can’t complain. It got the job done, got Swagger over, and sets up for further Swagz/Punk confrontations.

Vengeance: I liked the Vengeance hype video, hypes the PPV and I wonder who the mystery man at the end is. Good job hyping it up boyo. We cut to the announce booth…I thought the table was destroyed? Good interview with Melina to hype her match with Beth, there’s a few grammatical errors again, but no worries, it’s just something I pick up on.

Shawn/Barrett: Again, no description pre-match, it’s not a big fuss but it’d be beneficial imo. Good match with the distraction from Miz, it puts over Barrett with a win over HBK. Quick question, when did Bret come back? I haven’t read much of this, so I’m unsure. I liked the promo from Miz, setups the PPV match. Can’t wait to see what happens. Overall: good segment, no complaints.

Regal/TJ: Good even matchup between Regal and TJ, I like that you gave both men a chance to shine. Monarchy attacks…no complaints thus far except this. If Drew pushed him into the ring off the turnbuckle, and hit him with the Future Shock on the floor, did he pull him out of the ring?? If so, incorporate that in the match, detail is your friend :). Good win for Regal, it elevates him and the Monarchy. The newbie Sheamus for the save! Tag match next week perhaps, or Regal/Sheamus? Good match, eager to see what happens between Sheamus/Monarchy…

JTG/Shad: LMAO at Vince on the beach in a suit calling Cryme Tyme criminals. Good video hyping Summerslam, nothing else can be said tbh. Good win by Shad/JTG, it basically sets up to show Carlito showing signs of a heel turn imo.

Main event time: So, we see Orton come out, but not the match participants? Detail is your friend boyo, it’s not a big deal, it’s just a little pet peeve I have. Good even-faired matchup between the two teams, I’m glad you gave Legacy some momentum. Big Dave going for the win, and then an attack by Orton. Typical Legacy fashion, but I like it. Handcuffs, oh boy, Dave’s about to get a beating. Con-chair-to to Rey while Big Dave is helpless, good idea from you broski. It gets Orton more heat and continues the bitterness between him and ‘Tista. Love the closing to the show, it’s a cliffhanger indeed. Overall: good segment to end the show, sets up for next week. I’m assuming Rey’s now out of action, and Batista will surely go for payback for his friend.

Overall: The show was good still leading into Vengeance, matches have been setup and feuds are continuing. I like it. There is a whole lot of potential in all of the feuds going on. Once again, your description isn’t as good as I’d expect, because I’ve seen you give great detail, this is nothing compared to it. Also, there’s a couple grammatical errors that I caught onto, but it’s not a big fuss. The show was good, it continued the storylines, and set up for a good PPV. Nice job, bro.

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

It is obvious that at Vengeance especially after what happened on RAW that Randy Orton will defend that WWE Championship against Batista and if that happens I somehow see Orton retaining the WWE Championship all be it by controversial circumstances either with Orton cheating his way to victory or with Legacy helping Orton yet again during his match with Batista or Orton getting himself intentionally counted out or intentionally disqualified as a way of keeping his title, setting up Batista to take the WWE Championship away from Orton at SummerSlam with Orton dropping the title to Batista at SummerSlam setting up CM Punk's heel turn by having Punk cash in on Batista to become the new WWE Champion

But let's not forget Triple H he could either return at Vengeance or even return at SummerSlam and if that happens, you know Triple H is going to be feuding with Orton and or by extension Legacy

But I have to admit what Orton did to Mysterio putting him on the shelf like that, what all 3 members of Legacy did to Mysterio was pretty heinous, pretty brutal if you ask me and I wonder if that is the last time we will see Mysterio for quite some time because if that is the case then Mysterio I could see him being sidelined until Survivor Series 2009 or even TLC 2009 in December at the latest with Mysterio returning then

But Orton bringing up his history with Batista in terms of Evolution, now see that right there was bound to happen and Orton brings up valid points because if anything he was the true breakout star of Evolution and not Batista even though Batista managed to break out any way, Orton now has become the most dangerous man in WWE especially after what he has done as of late, no one can touch him but at the same time Orton's arrogance is going to be what leads to his downfall with Batista getting his revenge one way or the other

With Punk and Swagger it seems their rivalry has become way too personal but in a good way because now their rivalry can finally come to a head but at the same time their rivalry needs to end one way or another and the perfect time to do this would be at Vengeance

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

WWE Superstars – 16th July 2009

For the first time, Superstars got a dedicated announce team, rather than the Raw and SmackDown teams taking turns - Josh Matthews and Matt Striker took the reigns.

In the opening match of the night, David Hart Smith defeated Curt Hawkins @ 7.35 but appeared to suffer a minor injury to his thigh.

In the next match, Mickie James defeated Jillian Hall @ 5.01 with Michelle McCool and Gail Kim at the announce table, no sign of the Women’s Champion though.

Making his return to the WWE, and more importantly the Raw roster, Tyson Tomko defeated a local jobber @ 0.42

After Tomko won his match though, he stayed around as The Miz defeated Jesse @ 5.03.

After the match, Tomko attacked Jesse, and with The Miz directing traffic, Tomko destroyed Festus when he tried to save Jesse. After the beat down, Miz and Tomko exchanged a few words, appearing that they are working together now, with the Josh Matthews wondering what this means for Shawn Michaels.


***


*Backstage – Hallway*​

Instead of cutting right into the highlight video for the show, and instead of showing a package revolving around last Sunday’s explosive Pay-per-view – we cut right into the backstage area. We appear to be in a hallway, with various Superstars huddled around something. The crowd in arena murmur in anticipation of what it could be, and when the SmackDown General Manager, Theodore Long shows up, the group of Superstars part like the red see... to REVEAL JOHN CENA LYING IN A CRUMPLED HEAP!

It’s almost a carbon copy of last night, Cena, battered and bruised, lying on the cold concrete, surrounded by Superstars and in complete agony. The crowd don’t like the sight of this, which is becoming a fairly regular thing now, so they begin to boo while a group of them begin a “CE-NA” chant. The camera focuses on Teddy Long, who shakes his head and leaves the scene, walking with a purpose.

Friday Night SmackDown – 17th July 2009; Daly City, California



The Road To SummerSlam Begins

Now, we get the usual opening video, highlighting the best that SmackDown has to offer, putting some extra emphasis on its World Heavyweight Champion, who managed to retain his belt last Sunday. Once the package concludes, we swiftly fade into the Cow Palace, where the fans in attendance are screaming their lungs off, but they are quickly drowned out when the firework display sounds off from the stage. Then, as the camera pans around the arena, taking in some interesting signs, the voice of SmackDown begins to speak.

Jim Ross: Hello ladies and gentleman and welcome to Friday Night SmackDown! We are just a few days removed from a very controversial pay-per-view where Matt Hardy managed to retain his World Heavyweight Championship.

We cut to the announce table now, where of course, Jim Ross, dressed in a black suit and he has his trademark black hat, whilst JBL is dressed in grey, and his white cowboy hat on.

Jim Ross: Sitting beside me as ever to call the action, a former WWE Champion and a future Hall of Famer, John Bradshaw Layfield. My name is good ol’ J.R, Jim Ross and thank you for allowing us into your homes tonight. Just before the opening video played, a distressing scene was playing out backstage, a scene which was became a regular occurrence here on SmackDown.

JBL: J.R, John Cena has been attacked nearly four times now, one time he was even the victim of a near hit and run, he has obviously pissed someone off backstage, and we all thought Cena was the epitome of niceness.

Jim Ross: I can’t disagree with you, John. Cena is one of the nicest men on SmackDown, but is one of the toughest also, as evidenced last night when he continued fighting, climbing into the cage despite being attacked before the match.

JBL: It took a Twist of Fate from the top of the cage, J.R, a moment that I will never forget, to end that match. And in the end, Matt Hardy was standing on top of the cage, raising that title to the heavens, proving that he is no fluke champion.

Jim Ross: I don’t think anyone was calling him a fluke champion, but regardless, ladies and gentleman, we’ll have more on what happened last Sunday at The Bash but right now I’m just hearing that SmackDown General Manager, Theodore Long will be out here momentarily to address what transpired backstage a few moments ago.

***MACMILITANT***​

As if on cue, the SmackDown GM’s music hits and he gets a respectful pop from the fans in attendance as we walks onto the stage. Theodore Long, dressed in that horrible brown suit, strides down the ramp with a purpose, reaching the ring in record time, jogging up the steel steps and stepping through the ropes. He’s handed a microphone from some lackey at ring side before taking a spot in the centre of the ring, waiting for his music to die down, and when it does...

Theodore Long: Last Sunday, the World Heavyweight Title was defended inside a solid steel cage, and Matt Hardy successfully defended his title against... John Cena.

~ Long isn’t his usual jovial self, instead he’s very intense, which the crowd pick up on...

Theodore Long: But... for the past couple of weeks, John Cena has been found lying backstage, seemingly attacked by someone we don’t know yet. And, I, just like of you, wanna’ find out who done it. So, if the person that did this, wants to come forward and clear his conscience, then come on out, playa.

~ The crowd turn to the stage, in hopes of seeing the man who attacked Cena. But, JBL says that the guy would be an idiot to reveal himself right now...

~ Suddenly...

***BREAK THE WALLS DOWN***​

WHAT?! The instant the fireworks went off the crowd began to boo incessantly, as none other than a suit clad Chris Jericho walked onto the stage. But, beside him stand The Brian Kendrick and R-Truth! In the ring, Theodore Long looks up at Jericho with a perplexed expression, wondering if either of these men are actually the man who’s been attacking Cena. The threesome, ignoring the jeers and taunts from the crowd, walks down the ramp, and over to the steel steps.

Jim Ross: Chris Jericho, the man who lost to Jeff Hardy last night, the man who lost his shot at the World Heavyweight Championship – what is he doing out here? And he even has The Brian Kendrick and R-Truth with him.

JBL: I doubt that either of R-Truth or Brian Kendrick was the one attacking John Cena. I think this has nothing to do with Cena, they are out here for a different reason.

With Theodore Long staring a hole through him, Jericho walks over to the corner and demands a microphone, the man at ring side delivers and The Best In The World walks towards the centre of the ring, standing next to Kendrick and Truth.

Chris Jericho: (hand towards Teddy) Before you jump to conclusions, Teddy, I am not the man that attacked John Cena. And neither are these two.

~ Teddy shakes his, incredulous at being interrupted for a totally different reason that he was expecting...

Theodore Long: Jericho, no games playa, I asked for the man who attacked John to come out here, and now you three come out and interrupt me.

R-Truth: (now with microphone) Oh, you gonna’ hear it!

~ Kendrick puts a hand on Truth’s shoulder, reining him in...

Chris Jericho: You know why we’re out here, Teddy. I couldn’t care less about what happens to John Cena, this is about you... and your ego.

~ Boos from the crowd. Teddy grins, shaking his head.

Theodore Long: Playa, you wanna’ talk about ego? I-

The Brian Kendrick: (interrupting) Listen up, “playa”, myself, Chris and R-Truth – all three of us have an issue with you. And when The Brian Kendrick has an issue with someone, he tells them to their face.

Theodore Long: Go on then playas’, if you-

R-Truth: You cost me my U.S Championship!

~ Again, Kendrick has to put a hand on Truth’s shoulders, stopping him from taking a step toward the General Manager...

Chris Jericho: Last Sunday, I had my hand raised in victory... but I am not the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship. Which, by the way, is the biggest travesty that this industry has ever witnessed – especially now that Jeff Hardy is the number one contender.

~ Just the mention of Jeff Hardy’s name sends the crowd into a rapture of cheers, which ‘causes Teddy to look at them, nodding...

Chris Jericho: Don’t listen to these hypocritical parasites, Teddy, these people are nothing more than bottom feeders that relate to the screw up that is Jeff Hardy.

~ To the side, Kendrick and Truth are nodding...

Chris Jericho: I should be number one contender, I should be challenging Matt Hardy for the World Title at SummerSlam... simply because I am the best in the world... at what I do.

~ Lots of heat.

The Brian Kendrick: And... Teddy, The Brian Kendrick should be the WWE Tag Team Champion right now. But you cost me that, just like you cost Chris his gold.

~ R-Truth clears his throat into the microphone...

The Brian Kendrick: And you also cost R-Truth his United States Championship.

R-Truth: We all know you had favourites, Teddy!

~ Long shakes his head...

Chris Jericho: Everyone in this arena, and everyone watching at home knows that you don’t like me, nor do you like these two gentlemen. That is why you’ve gone out of your way to make sure we don’t succeed on SmackDown, isn’t that right, General Manager?

~ Lots of heat.

Theodore Long: I don’t know what’s been put in the water recently, but if you playas think I’m at the heart of some conspiracy then you are more stupid than I thought.

~Ohh...

Theodore Long: I find it insultin’ that you would accuse me-

R-Truth: ADMIT IT!

~ Oh, Truth.

Theodore Long: I will not admit anything, ‘cause there is nothin’ to admit.

The Brian Kendrick: We don’t see it that way, Teddy. But we knew you would deny every accusation that we threw at you.

Chris Jericho: So, we, as a group, collectively took this matter to the WWE Board of Directors. And they told us, that an issue like this would need to be dealt with by the Chairman... Vincent Kennedy McMahon.

~ Big pop for the mention of McMahon...

The Brian Kendrick: Mister McMahon couldn’t be here tonight, because he is still recovering from being kicked in the head, but he did record a video from his home, and we have it here, especially for you, so please...

~ Kendrick turns to the stage, and in homage to Jericho says...

The Brian Kendrick: Roll the footage, monkeys!

~ All eyes turn to the stage...

***

A video begins to play on the titan tron, and it’s of Vince McMahon, even though he’s in his home, he’s obviously dressed for the video as he’s clad in a nice suit. He stares into the camera and gets a massive pop, but of course – he can’t hear it because it’s pre-recorded.

Vince McMahon: A few days ago, a group of Superstars came to me with an issue with SmackDown General Manager, Theodore Long. At first, I thought it would be another case of simply being a Superstar that didn’t feel he was being treated fairly... and that’s just what it was.

~ Pop from the crowd in the arena. McMahon shifts in his seat...

Vince McMahon: That was the case until I looked into this matter personally. I sat down and watched every SmackDown in the past few weeks, and came to the realization that Theodore Long has, in fact, being giving showing preferential treatment to various Superstars.

~ Heat, but obviously McMahon can’t hear so he presses on...

Vince McMahon: Chris Jericho is a smart individual, as is Brian Kendrick and... R-Truth is a unique man... but the thing they all have in common is the fact that they have all been cheated out of something... by Theodore Long.

~ McMahon shakes his head...

Vince McMahon: The Brian Kendrick lost his WWE Tag Team Championship, in a match that wasn’t announced ahead of time, nor was giving the proper advertisement that it deserved. R-Truth was placed in a cruel gauntlet match, where he ultimately lost the U.S Title.

~ McMahon grins...

Vince McMahon: I can hear the boos already, but quite frankly – this is about business, and last Sunday... Theodore Long overturned a perfectly good, clean result and practically gave the win to Jeff Hardy. Chris Jericho is correct, in my view, Theodore Long – you have been showing preferential treatment.

~ Loud heat....

Vince McMahon: With that in mind, I could fire you straight away for this – but I’m a viewer like anybody else. And I believe this match that I am about to announce will be what’s best for SmackDown, and the WWE as a business brand. Theodore Long, at SummerSlam, you will put together a team of four Superstars, of your choosing to compete for you against The Brian Kendrick, his associate Ezekiel Jackson, R-Truth and Chris Jericho.

~ This actually gets a big pop...

Vince McMahon: But, Teddy... if Chris Jericho’s team wins, then your job as General Manager will end. You will no longer be the SmackDown General Manager.

With those lingering words, the chairman stands up, and walks out of the camera shot as we cut back to the show.

***​


We return to SmackDown, where Teddy Long looks like he has been hit with a wet fish, whilst Jericho and his two buddies all grin from ear to ear with Truth pointing at Long. With Teddy speechless, Jericho mouths “SummerSlam” as the threesome back away, exiting the ring.

***BREAK THE WALLS DOWN***​

With the playing of Jericho’s music, ending the segment, signifying a victory for the three of them tonight, he and the other two back up the ramp, as the SmackDown General Manager tries to fathom what just transpired.


Jim Ross: It is official folks! At SummerSlam, we will have a four on four match, and if Theodore Long’s team loses – then he will be fired from SmackDown.

JBL: Finally! It took a long time, but Mister McMahon has seen sense. Everyone and their dog could see Teddy Long was showing some Superstars preferential treatment, and now even the chairman says he was, you don’t argue with the chairman.

Jim Ross: You certainly don’t want to do that. As we know, Chris Jericho will lead the team of The Brian Kendrick, R-Truth and Ezekiel Jackson against Theodore Long’s team, we don’t know who will be a part of that team, but rest assured – we will inform you if and when we get that information.

JBL: Who in their right mind would want to be a part of Team Teddy, they’d commit career suicide by doing that when we get a new General Manager after SummerSlam.

Jim Ross: Well, be that as it may, we have to move on folks – but first we have to take a quick commercial break. But, don’t go anywhere, because afterwards we will have The Bash highlights, and in a match that we are both looking forward to, one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, Tyson Kidd will be facing a revitalised Shelton Benjamin!

{Commercial Break}​

As promised by Jim Ross, we return to SmackDown and whirl straight into a collection of still images from the Sunday just past. The first couple are of Dolph Ziggler hitting a Zig-Zag on John Morrison and holding the Cruiserweight Championship above his head, then we see Kofi Kingston rolling up R-Truth and holding his title up for all to see. Finally, the last few shots are of John Cena and Matt Hardy battling in the cage, one of which we see Matt hitting a Twist of Fate from the top, and the final one being the World Heavyweight Champion standing on top, bellowing out for all to hear him.

And the still images have concluded, so we cut back to the arena where...

***CAN’T BE TOUCHED***

A batch of heat greets the arrival of The Franchise Playa, Shelton Benjamin, who saunters out onto the stage, dressed in a white sleeveless silk hoodie, with white tights and white boots. As last week, there is no gold standard related items, and as the beat of the music kicks in – Benjamin pulls down his hood, revealing his face and jawing about how he will be the winner tonight.

Jim Ross: Quite possibly, you are looking at the most gifted athlete in the entire WWE, Shelton Benjamin. I’ve been a fan of Shelton since day one, ever since he debuted with Charlie Haas, forming the World’s Greatest Tag Team, but tonight he is going solo against one half of another very talented team – Tyson Kidd of The Hart Dynasty.

JBL: And Shelton knows he is the most gifted athlete in this company, you can just tell from the way he walks out here, everyone is beneath him according to Benjamin, but he’ll face a tough test tonight in the form of Tyson Kidd – a graduate of The Hart Dungeon, even I didn’t want to see what went on down there.

The Franchise Playa hops onto the steel steps, takes a step onto the apron and enters the ring. He walks over to the turnbuckle, pulls himself up to the second rope, takes off his silk hoodie and throws it to the ground, shouting “Most gifted!” which draws heat, but he simply flashes a white tooth and hops down.

***NEW FOUNDATION***

A roar of approval greets the music of one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, Tyson Kidd, who appears on the stage, dressed in the signature pink and black of the Hart family. His partner, David Hart Smith isn’t with him tonight, but Natalya is, she stands at his side and the two look down at Benjamin from the stage. He looks down at his WWE Tag Team Title around his waist, says something to Natalya and then walks on down the ramp.

Jim Ross: This is gonna’ be awesome. Tyson Kidd is one of the most skilled wrestlers on SmackDown, he can do it all – high flying, mat wrestling, and his strikes are some of the most beautiful striking I have ever seen.

JBL: But like you said earlier, Shelton Benjamin is Shelton Benjamin. He’s no slouch, he’s one of the best we have, and we are about to see these two young Superstars face off... it’s gonna’ be a battle, J.R!

Once Kidd and Natalya stop interacting with the fans, slapping their hands, Kidd jogs up the steel steps as Natalya stands next to the apron. He takes off his belt, gazes into it and almost reluctantly hands it to the referee who hands it to the man at ring side. Interestingly, despite not having an actual tag team partner, Benjamin steals a glance at the title, but then it’s all business as the ref calls for the bell.

1 – Shelton Benjamin vs. Tyson Kidd w/Natalya

In the early going, Benjamin and Kidd were evenly matched, engaging in an exciting sequence of chain wrestling, which ended in a state mate and a stare off, and the crowd responded with a respect filled applause. The two tried again, this time Benjamin managed to win the exchange, pinning Kidd down by putting his knee on his back and holding his head in place. But Kidd would battle back, ending up in an advantageous position to a big pop.

The chain/mat wrestling ended pretty quickly after Kidd won that exchange, with Benjamin managing to get to his feet and knee Kidd in the stomach, before stepping behind and hitting a German Suplex. Benjamin would attempt to enforce his foothold in the match, utilizing his amateur wrestling skills, but Kidd knew how to get off the mat, and that he did – battling back and hitting a picture perfect drop kick which sent Benjamin tumbling backwards and through the ropes to the outside.

Benjamin took a few moments to get his bearings, not needing to rush back in, but he took too long for Kidd’s liking, as he grabbed the top rope and jumped over onto the outside, flipping as he does so and landing back first onto The Franchise Playa! The WWE Tag Team Champion stands up and fist pumps the air, getting applause from both the crowd and Natalya. He pulls Benjamin to his feet, and launches him back into the ring, before scampering after him and going for the cover, but only getting a two count. It was at that point we were informed we would need to head to a commercial break.

{Commercial Break}​

As we return, we get a quick replay of what transpired during the commercial break – where Shelton Benjamin got back into the match by attempting to kick Kidd, who caught his foot, but Kidd spun him around and Benjamin’s foot cracked the temple of one half of the tag team champions! Right now though, Benjamin has Kidd in the corner, and is lashing knees into the stomach of his opponent. The crowd begin to boo the kicks, until Benjamin stops and then Irish-whips him over to the other side. Benjamin sprints at him, but Kidd gets two feet up into the face of The Franchise Playa! The smaller half of The Hart Dynasty positions himself on the top rope, but he’s took his eyes off Benjamin, who suddenly LEAPS ONTO THE TOP ROPE AND HITS A OVERHEAD BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!

This didn’t end the match though, but it allowed Benjamin to enter into a stretch of control again. The Franchise Playa worked over Kidd, weakening him, sometimes shooting a look at Natalya, and at one point telling her “Ain’t nothin’ you can do!” as he bullies the smaller man around the ring. The crowd were getting on Benjamin’s back now, begging Tyson to show some signs of life, some signs of offense.

Finally, Kidd does show some life, battling his way out of the corner, creating some separation from Benjamin. Kidd manages to duck a clothesline, bounce off the ropes and hit a spinning heel kick! This got a near fall, and Kidd began to get on a roll, hitting some fast paced moves and getting some more near falls.

The match was coming to a close now, and the two engaged in some momentum shifting moments, but Kidd managed to counter Paydirt, creating some separation and going to the top rope. Suddenly though...

~~ A MAN CLOTHED IN BLACK CAME THROUGH THE CROWD... LEAPING ONTO THE APRON! ~~

The referee was now distracted, as was Kidd, who got down from the top rope, and walked over to the man, and actually hit him! The man fell from the apron, but we suddenly see Natalya trying to warn Kidd, but it’s too late, he turns around... RIGHT INTO PAYDIRT... ONE... TWO... THREE!

Winner – Shelton Benjamin @ 15.02

Who the?! What the?! Confusion rings around The Cow Palace as Benjamin rolls out of the ring, the referee quickly follows and raises his hand for him but Benjamin rips it away and backs up onto the ramp, falling backwards and sitting on the cold steel. Natalya climbs into the ring and kneels beside Kidd who is beginning to get up. The talking point however, is making his way around the ring, the man in black kneels down beside Benjamin, we can’t see his face but Benjamin says something to him and then the man in black helps The Franchise Playa up![/I][/COLOR]

Jim Ross: Who the hell is that!? This man, this man shrouded in blackness has just cost Tyson Kidd his match, and it appears that Benjamin was in on it the whole time!

JBL: I don’t know about you, J.R, but I think it’s genius. Benjamin is now the talk of SmackDown with this stunt, I can’t wait to find out who it is underneath that garment.

Jim Ross: What a terrible end to a fantastic match. I’m usually singing Shelton’s praises but this was simply a cheap way to win.

Benjamin and his “friend” are now on the stage, staring down at one half off the WWE Tag Team Champions and then they both suddenly make the title motion across their stomachs.

*Backstage – Interview Area*​

Standing by in the SmackDown interview set, is none other than one of SmackDown’s interviewer – Matt Striker.

Matt Striker: Ladies and gentleman... the NEW Cruiserweight Champion... Dolph Ziggler.

~ Right away, the crowd give out a batch of heat as the camera pans out to reveal Dolph Ziggler, clad in gold...

Matt Striker:
And, Dolph-

~ Suddenly, Ziggler yanks the microphone from Striker’s grasp which startles him...

Dolph Ziggler: Last night, I showed the world how good I am. I proved that I am better than any individual in this locker room. I’ve been too good for too long without getting my just rewards, and now (glances at the Cruiserweight Title) I’ve got it.

~ Heat. Ziggler takes the title from his shoulders and stares at it before placing it back there...

Dolph Ziggler: My name is Dolph Ziggler... Cruiserweight Champion... that has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it, Matt. For the past month and a half, I’ve fought to get this title, defeating numerous other Cruiserweights, showing everyone why I am the very best... showing everyone why I deserve to be the Cruiserweight Champion.

~ Another batch of heat.

Dolph Ziggler: I proved to the world that I am a champion... but I also proved that I am THE champion. Everyone says that the championship doesn’t make the man... no... the man makes the title... this title looks pretty damn good, and it’s because Dolph Ziggler is holdin’ it... not John Morrison!

~ Pop for the mention of Morrison, but Ziggler ignores it...

Dolph Ziggler: Last Sunday, John Morrison put up a good fight, but he was no match for The Show-Off. I walked out to that ring, and I put on a show, and I looked damn good doing it.

~ More heat for the arrogance on display...

Dolph Ziggler: An’ now tonight I have to do it again. But it doesn’t make a difference, I may be beat up, but I’ll still go out there and put on a show. Because, Matt, I am the best thing going today, I am the Cruiserweight Champion, and John Morrison isn’t gonna’ change that.

With that, Ziggler pushes the microphone into Striker’s chest and brushes past him. He walks away from the interview set, arriving in a hallway and the cameras are now following him, but suddenly we hear a shriek from off camera.

???: DOLPH!

The Cruiserweight Champion turns and looks to the side, and eventually we see the Assistant General Manager, Layla walk into the shot. But something’s wrong, she’s crying, she immediately walks right into Dolph, burying her face in his chest.

Dolph Ziggler: Uh... hey (trying to get Layla off), what... come on.

~ Finally, Layla lifts her head from his chest and looks at him, still bubbling like a baby...

Dolph Ziggler: (wiping a tear from her face) What’s wrong...

Layla: (unrecognisable ranting, mixed with crying)

Dolph Ziggler: ... What?

~ Layla takes a deep breath...

Layla: Teddy sacked me!

~ Layla immediately rushes into Ziggler’s chest again, this time he wraps his arms around her, trying to awkwardly adjust his Cruiserweight Title...

Dolph Ziggler: He fired you? Hold on, why did he fire you?

~ Layla doesn’t respond, instead she wraps her arms around the CW Champs waist...

Dolph Ziggler: Tell you what, let’s go to his office and sort this out. It’s probably a misunderstandin’.

Layla nods whilst in the grasp of Ziggler, and the two then walk away, presumably in the direction of the General Manager’s office.

SUMMERSLAM COUNTDOWN
~~ !!44 DAYS!! ~~


~ SUMMERSLAM MOMENT ~
- 2008 -

~ In what was a brutal Hell in a Cell match, Edge and The Undertaker battled, and in the end it was The Deadman sending Edge to hell, by Chokeslamming him through the ring.

{Commercial Break}​

*Backstage – Hallway*​

When SmackDown returns, we are backstage, where The Franchise Playa, Shelton Benjamin is chatting to one of The Bella Twins – it appears to be Nikki Bella.

Nikki Bella: I just (grabs his forearm) loved watchin’ you out there!

~ Shelton, obviously, isn’t adverse to compliments...

Nikki Bella: And I just knew you would beat Tyson... (suddenly begins grinning) especially after what we did last Sunday.

~ You slut...

Shelton Benjamin: Las-

~ Cue interruption...

???: Uh, Shelton.

~ The camera pans out and we see the lovely Tiffany standing with a microphone, Shelton turns to face her...

Tiffany: Shelton, I was wonderin’ if we could get a quick word?

Shelton Benjamin: (nodding) Sure.

~ Nikki gets a little bit closer to Benjamin, threading her arm through his, sending a clear message to Tiffany, who simply asks her question...

Tiffany: Shelton, earlier on tonight you competed against Tyson Kidd but we saw... a man clothed in black distract not only the referee but also Tyson, allowing you to pick up the victory.

~ Benjamin glances at Nikki...

Shelton Benjamin: Look, Tiff’ – it doesn’t matter that I had a (makes the sign with his fingers) tiny bit of help. All that matters is that I won, I defeated one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions-

Nikki Bella: And if that guy didn’t show up, he would have beat Tyson anyway.

~ Tiffany gets a catty look from Nikki but she ignores her. It appears as though Nikki’s sudden change in attitude has turned the fans against her, as they boo that little sentence.

Tiffany: Alright... but I think everyone wants to know who-

Shelton Benjamin: (interrupting) Oh, you’ll find out soon enough. The Franchise Playa will be getting some back up, and eventually become one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions.

~ With Nikki saying “yeah” to Tiff’, Benjamin and the Bella back away, turning and leaving Tiffany to stand there.

*Ringside*​

In the ring, stands The Moscow Mauler, Vladimir Kozlov, getting a little bit of a pop.

Jim Ross: It appears that things are getting chaotic backstage, ladies and gentleman. Already tonight we’ve seen John Cena attacked by an unknown person, and it appears that Layla has been fired by Theodore Long.

JBL: Another display of power going to someone’s head. He knows he’ll be losing his job soon, so he’s attempting to put his stamp on things before he gets fired.

Jim Ross: I’m not so sure about that. Anyway, moving on ladies and gentleman, don’t forget that later on tonight, Dolph Ziggler will defend his Cruiserweight Championship against Evan Bourne, and in our main event, the World Heavyweight Champion, Matt Hardy will face off against Bobby Lashley in a non-title match.

***MAN ON FIRE***​

The normally blue tinted arena explodes into a dark shade of red as fire rises from the stage, shocking a few of the fans. Immediately after the fire dies down, The Big Red Monster, Kane walks onto the stage, quickly walking down the ramp, eyes set on the big Russian.

Jim Ross: Last Sunday, Kane went one on one with The Rated R Superstar, Edge. In the end, it was Edge that came out victorious, ending Kane’s recent bout of rampage, and now he faces a very tough competitor in Vladimir Kozlov.

JBL: Both Vladimir Kozlov and Kane have something in common – they have both defeated The Undertaker. Not many Superstars can say they have done that, can they? Kozlov has competed for the WWE Championship, whilst Kane is a former WWE Champion; this is a collision course of which SmackDown hasn’t seen in a very long time.

Kane grabs the top rope, pulls himself onto the apron before stepping over the blue ropes. The referee calls for the bell, getting this huge match underway.

2 – Kane vs. Vladimir Kozlov

This wasn’t going to be a master class of technical wrestling; instead we got a classic big man on big man match. In the early going, the two of them traded positions of domination, but ultimately it ended in a stalemate, thanks to their matched strength. The commentators made sure to talk about the rose that was placed in the ring last Sunday, questioning who placed it there and why it affected Kane so much.

Eventually, Kane would take control of the match, using his experience. Kozlov would eventually get back into the match however, showing off some of his much improved striking. But in a short match, Kane took control again, and put Vladimir down with a Choke slam.

Winner – Kane @ 5.27

A groan of disapproval greets the bell as Kane climbs to his feet. He runs his hands over his head, before allowing the referee to raise his hand, and then he pulls away from him, and exits the ring.

Jim Ross: A strong showing by The Big Red Monster here tonight, defeating a very game, a very strong Vladimir Kozlov.

JBL: What’s surprising is that nothing strange happened.

Jesus, JBL. Suddenly, the lights in the arena go out and then the feed stops...

~ *STATIC* ~​

Eventually, the feed comes back into play, and the arena is in complete darkness, glints of camera flashes in the crowd. No commentary to accompany the strange sight, and finally arena lights up, and we see Kane on the stage, kneeling on the ground! In front of him sits a red rose, just lying there, staring at him, as he does the same. A look of anguish appears on the face of The Big Red Monster, but then turns to sick happiness, and a sick grin appears on his face, he murmurs something like he’s talking to someone before HEADING BACK DOWN THE RAMP!

Jim Ross: What is Kane doing? The match is over; he’s coming back down to the ring.

Kozlov, who has just recovered from the match, has his back to the ramp, leaning on the apron and doesn’t see the attack coming. He’s rammed into his back, Kane turning him around on the apron and wailing into him with upper cuts. The Big Red Monster slides him back into the ring, he quickly follows and blocks a wild punch from the Russian, before kicking him in the stomach, grabbing his throat and CHOKE SLAMMING HIM AGAIN!

Jim Ross:
Aww, what the hell! This match was over; Kane had no right to do what he just did!

JBL: You want to go tell him that? No? Didn’t think so.

Jim Ross: Something, again, set Kane off, ‘causing him to come back down to the ring and Choke Slam Kozlov. It was that rose, last Sunday the same rose was placed in the ring, but Kane didn’t look happy about it. This week, it spurred Kane on, what the hell is happening!?

In the ring, Kozlov is down and out, whilst Kane stands in the ring, looking up at the rose, smiling and nodding sadistically.

*Backstage – Catering Table*​

The arena explodes in a huge pop as we see The Rated R Superstar, Edge standing in front of a table filled with food. He’s not focused on the food though, he’s making himself a coffee, once he’s done he turns and walks away; the camera follows. He gets to a corner and turns around...right into Chris Jericho, SPILLING THE COFFEE ALL OVER HIS SUIT! A roar of laughter rises from the crowd as Jericho simply stares at Edge, trying to keep himself from reacting to the searing hot coffee.

Edge: Aww, damn, man. I was really lookin’ forward to that.

~ A sheer look of disgust comes across on Jericho’s face...

Chris Jericho: You think this is funny, Edge?

Edge: Uh, kinda. Was it hot?

~ If looks could kill then Edge would be a dead man...

Chris Jericho: You’re damn right it was hot.

Edge: (grinning) It’s a shame about the suit though, looks nice-

Chris Jericho: Is everything a joke to you? You want to know what a good joke is, your friend, Christian.

~ Loud heat.

Chris Jericho: If you think that coffee was hot, imagine what Christian would have felt... when he was burned alive.

~ The fun has now well and truly gone...

Chris Jericho: The joke is the fact that he went off, and cried to his best friend, “won’t somebody please help me”. It’s disgusting. You’re disgusting.

~ Before Edge can speak...

Chris Jericho: Now, I have to wash this out – you’re lucky I’m takin’ a stand tonight; otherwise I’d be teaching you a lesson for what you’ve done to me.

With a face like thunder, Jericho side steps Edge, walking down the hall way, leaving The Rated R Superstar to watch him go, shaking his head, muttering something to himself.

*Backstage – Hallway*​

We cut elsewhere now, and the biggest pop of the night comes from the crowd as the number one contender to Matt Hardy’s World Heavyweight Title, JEFF HARDY, is WALKING~! down the corridor.

Jim Ross: Ladies and gentleman, after the break, we will hear from the number one contender, Jeff Hardy!

{Commercial Break}​

Back on the blue brand...

*NO MORE WORDS*​

The Cow Palace absolutely ERUPTS as JEFF HARDY appears on the stage! The number one contender to his brothers World Heavyweight Championship, dressed in a beige leather jacket, light jeans and he has his hair tied back. The Charismatic Enigma takes in the reaction from the crowd, smiling, then walking down the ramp, taking the time to slap the fans’ hands on the left side, and then goes back for the right side.


Jim Ross: What a reaction for Jeff Hardy! The man who defeated Chris Jericho... the man who defeated the man that has run him down for the past month – a personal rivalry came to an end at The Bash, but right now another one is about to start... again.

JBL: Despite my reasons for disagreeing with Hardy being the number one contender, Jeff will take on his brother, in the biggest match in both of their careers. Brother vs. brother... for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Hardy walks up the silver steps, hoping onto the apron and walking along it. He looks back at the crowd, taunting for the crowd before stepping into the rope. He walks over to the turnbuckle, hopping onto the second rope and nodding at the fantastic reception he’s getting. He motions across his stomach before stepping down and being handed a microphone; making his way into the centre of the ring.

Jeff Hardy: Last Sunday at The Bash... we... WE defeated Chris Jericho.

~ Big pop. Jeff begins to pace around the ring with a smile on his face...

Jeff Hardy: For the past month... Jericho has been runnin’ me down, talkin’ ‘bout my personal life... and even talkin’ about all of you. He ragged on us, calling us every name under the sun, but words, in the end, don’t matter. Chris Jericho, even called me a cancer... a cancer to this company.

~ Loud heat.

Jeff Hardy: It’ll take a hell of a lot more than Jeff Hardy to bring this company to its knees.

~ Pause...

Jeff Hardy: I beat Chris Jericho for each and every last one of you.

~ Big pop...

Jeff Hardy: In the lead up to the match... Jericho done his best to bring up my past... but the thing is... I’m an open book. You all know about my past, you all know about my mistakes... who hasn’t made mistakes in their life? I accepted them, I moved past them, and now I’m a better person... and I’m also the one that’s going to SUMMERSLAM!

~ Another pop. Hardy stops pacing...

Jeff Hardy: Jericho even tried cheatin’... but we prevailed, we beat him and now we are the number one CONTENDERS!

~ Massive pop...

Jeff Hardy: Brother versus brother, huh?

~ Solid pop for the big match...


Jeff Hardy: Matt Hardy.

~ Loud heat, which makes Jeff laugh a little...

Jeff Hardy: Hey, y’know... congratulations to him, he beat John Cena... he had his moment on top of the cage... but now he has to face me. And there won’t be any SummerSlam moment for him.

~ Pause...

Jeff Hardy: He has to face the man that had HIS WWE Championship RIPPED from him at the Royal Rumble, he has to face the man that had his HOUSE set on fire... he has to face... ME!

~ Another big pop. Hardy lowers the microphone, looking to the back before pulling it back up...

Jeff Hardy: He beat me at WrestleMania... and he beat me at Backlash... he got under my skin then, but there is no way in hell I’m losin’ to him a third time. Matt, savour the time you have with that championship belt, because at SummerSlam... I’m gonna’ do to you what you did to me... and that’s take your title AWAY FROM YOU!

~ Big pop...

Jeff Hardy: The road to SummerSlam begins now, the road to the end of Summer begins... and Matt, the road to the end of your reign as World Heavyweight Champion begins now... because in six weeks time... there will be a Hardy on that name plate... but it won’t be yours... it’ll be mine.

After a glaring look into the camera “No More Words” plays, signifying the end of the segment, and Jeff places the microphone down, he exits the ring and walks around it – slapping everybody’s hand.

Jim Ross: Some strong words from the number one contender, it was short and sweet, and he got his point across to his brother, who no doubt will have been watching this with open ears. Ladies and gentleman, we have to take a quick commercial break, but join us after because in his first title defence, Dolph Ziggler will put the Cruiserweight Title on the line against John Morrison.

{Commercial Break}​

The bell rings and Justin Roberts steps forward.

Justin Roberts: The following contest is scheduled for one fall... and is for the Cruiserweight Championship of the world!

***AIN’T NO MAKE BELIEVE***​

Out first, the challenger, who gets a rousing reception from the fans packed into The Cow Palace tonight. John Morrison makes his way onto the stage, clad in white and silver attire with his usual coat on, he poses in slow motion then walks down the ramp. In homage to Bret Hart, he takes off his shades and places them on a young boys face, and then walks towards the steel steps.

JBL: I don’t quite know understand why in the hell John Morrison has a rematch, he wasn’t the champion before, he didn’t have a rematch clause for Sunday.

Jim Ross: The power of the people, JBL, they wanted this match so Teddy Long gave them what they wanted.

JBL: Terrible General Manager, should never listen to these people. They booed me on my way out here you know. Disgrace.

Morrison jogs up the steel steps, swinging into the ring and making his way up one of the turnbuckles. He poses, allowing some of the fans to get camera shots of him before dropping down and handing his coat to someone at ring side.

***I’M HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD***​

A pretty big amount of heat greets the NEW Cruiserweight Champion as Dolph Ziggler makes his way onto the stage. Dressed in a pink vest and silver trunks, and of course – the Cruiserweight Title wrapped around his waist. He turns on the stage, and shakes his ass, turning around and making his way down to the ring, pointing at Morrison and saying “you’ll never hold this” while pointing at the belt with his other hand.

Jim Ross: This is a man that went under the radar over on Monday Night Raw. In the draft, he came over to SmackDown and showed what he could do in that ring. Dolph Ziggler is a very talented Superstars, and now he has a title to go along with that talent. But with a title, comes a target, and it’s firmly placed on Dolph Ziggler’s back.

JBL: The same can be said for every single title holder in the back. Ziggler needs to get his mind off Layla and her problems with Teddy Long, which by the way, I believe her getting fired is a total abuse of power, but regardless – he has to get his mind off her and onto this match. He’s in real danger tonight, J.R, if his heads not in the game then he’s going to lose his belt, not more than five days since he won it.

Ziggler takes a trip around the ring, leaping onto the apron and stepping through the ropes, but then leaning back out – saying something to some nearby fans. He steps in and then climbs up the turnbuckle, before dropping down and handing his CW Title to the referee.

Justin Roberts: Introducing first, the challenger, from Los Angeles, California... weighing two hundred and nine pounds... he is a former WWE Tag Team Champion and a former ECW Champion... JOHN – MORRISON!!

Big pop. Morrison leaves his corner, walks to the centre, stares at Dolph then looks at the CW belt in the hands of the referee.

Justin Roberts: And his opponent, the champion, from Hollywood, Florida... weighing two hundred and thirteen pounds... he is the current Cruiserweight Champion of the world... DOLPH – ZIGGLER!!

Solid amount of heat. Ziggler steps forward, much like his opponent, and taps his Cruiserweight Title. The referee raises it above his head before handing it to the time keeper, and calling for the bell.

3 – CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Dolph Ziggler © vs. John Morrison

In the beginning, Ziggler starts to show off, ducking every one of Morrison’s attempts to get close to him. The showing off began to get on the fans nerves, as well as his opponent. Finally, Morrison got his hands on Ziggler, and beat him down, weakening him and stopping him from showing off. Morrison runs through some of his arsenal, getting a couple of near falls before a mistake, going to the top rope, gave Ziggler the chance to get back into the match.

Dolph began to control the pace of the bout, keeping Morrison on the back foot. Ziggler locked him in a sleeper hold, in a bid to keep him on the ground and away from his high flying offense. It worked for the most part, but the crowd got involved, getting Morrison fired up. He broke out of the sleeper hold, and went on his comeback. Ziggler was in trouble now as Morrison hit a Chuck Kick and set up for Starship Pain, but Dolph rolled out the way. Morrison struggled to his feet but Ziggler connected with Zig-Zag!


Winner and STILL Cruiserweight Champion: Dolph Ziggler @ 7.24

The counting of the three is met with a lot of heat, but Ziggler doesn’t give a damn – he rolls out of the ring and shouts at the referee to get him his title! The ref goes, grabs it and swiftly brings it to Ziggler on the ramp. After he raises his hand, he jogs back to the ring to make sure Morrison is alright.

Jim Ross: For the second time in the space of five days, Dolph Ziggler has proven how talented he really is, defeating John Morrison not once, but twice.

JBL: Morrison should’ve accepted his loss at The Bash, but he wanted one more crack, and he failed... again.

Jim Ross: Ziggler has proved all the naysayers wrong, all the people on Raw that thought he wasn’t cut out for this business, now look at him – the Cruiserweight Champion of the world.

***Backstage – Hallway***

The camera is walking in front of R-Truth, who gets a solid amount of heat for his second appearance on camera tonight. He suddenly stops though, so the camera stops with him, and zooms in on Truth’s eyes widening.

R-Truth: I... KNEW IT!

~ Truth brushes past the camera and it follows him, and we see Theodore Long and Kofi Kingston talking amongst themselves. They stop when they see Truth coming and turn to look at him.

Kofi Kingston: This guy again.

~ Truth stops in front of them, and glances at each man in a comical fashion...

R-Truth: What is this?! You two thinkin’ up ways to embarrass R-Truth again?! Or... or are you two decidin’ who to put R-Truth against next week, huh?!

Theodore Long: Lis-

R-Truth: Don’t lie to me, Teddy, I know. I know, I always know!

Kofi Kingston: What the hell do you know?

~ Truth’s wide eyes return...

R-Truth: I know dat you two are in cahoots... against me! An’ I thought brothers were supposed to stick together.

~ Kofi and Long glance at each other...

R-Truth: Your silence only confirms your guilt... tell me what you two were laughin’ at... was it me?! Was it my hair... I only had time to get it-

Kofi Kingston: Actually no. We were talkin’ about your little stunt earlier... goin’ to Vince McMahon with your conspiracy crap. I can’t believe that Vince McMahon actually bought that... from the likes of you.

~ Oh...

R-Truth: What’s that supposed to mean? Are you... are you commenting on my skin colour?!

~ Kingston face palms...

Theodore Long: Listen playa, we were talkin’ about who is gonna’ be on Team Teddy, ya feel me playa’?

~ Truth glances at Kingston...

Theodore Long: So allow me to fill in the blanks... the first member of Team Teddy... is the United States Champion... Kofi Kingston!

~ Big pop from the crowd as the GM and his first team member walk away, leaving R-Truth alone...

R-Truth: I got’s to tell the others!

Truth in true movie style, runs off, sprinting down the aisle as we cut to a commercial.

{Commercial Break}​

Back on SmackDown, the focus is in the ring where the six man team of Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder and Mike Knox are stood, waiting for their opponents.

***STRICKEN***​

Receiving a solid pop, Daniel Bryan, Kaval and AJ Lee make their way onto the stage. Kaval’s dressed in his usual complex entrance attire, with the maroon colour matching Bryan’s trunks. The threesome make their way down the ramp, but don’t climb into the ring, instead they wait by the apron for their back up.


Jim Ross: Up next, a six person tag team match, between six people that competed against each other last week. Daniel Bryan and Kaval defeated Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder whilst Evan Bourne defended Kelly Kelly’s honour-

JBL: Do you see a pattern here? The reason Kaval and Bryan faced Hawkins and Ryder is because they targeted AJ, and Evan was defending Kelly from Knox... what kind of Superstars do we have on this roster?!

***BORN TO WIN***​

Getting a big pop, Evan Bourne jogs onto the stage, raising a two fingered salute to the crowd. After a few moments, Kelly Kelly makes her way out, joining Evan on the ramp. They make their way down, eyes on the ring and then Bourne stops to greet Daniel and Kaval.

Jim Ross: This team right here, is one of the most talented six person tag teams I have ever witnessed. All three are very similar, and-

JBL: And they have Kelly Kelly and AJ Lee at ringside, some might say it could be seen as five against three.

Jim Ross: Only idiots would believe that, JBL.

Kelly and AJ walk around the ring, standing beside their men’s corner, as the threesome climb into the ring.

4 – Evan Bourne & The Warriors; Daniel Bryan & Kaval w/AJ Lee & Kelly Kelly vs. Mike Knox, Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder

As the match begins, the commentators talk about how talented the three faces are, putting over the fact that Daniel Bryan and Kaval competed all over the world before joining the WWE, putting extra emphasis on saying that Bryan and Kaval were personally signed by Theodore Long, something which Ryder and Hawkins didn’t appreciate. Despite this, it’s Bourne and Knox kicking the match off. Knox uses his strength in the early going, but Bourne began to use some of his quickness.

Every member of each team got a good amount of time in the ring, with the camera cutting to Kelly and AJ every now and again. In the end though, with Kaval and Knox the legal men – Kaval hit a wide array of moves, before putting the big man away with Warriors Way!

Winner – Evan Bourne & The Warriors @ 6.26

Being joined in the ring by Bryan, Bourne and the two Divas, Kaval gets to his feet and all five have their hands raised, as Hawkins and Ryder walk away with their heads down and Knox rolling out of the ring, shaking his head.

Jim Ross: Once again, these three have their hands raised in victory, just like The Bash. Now they’ll be looking towards their futures, and one can only guess what the future has in store for these three Superstars and, indeed, the two Divas.

JBL: If they were smart, they would target the WWE Tag Team Titles and the Cruiserweight Championship.

Jim Ross: Moving on ladies and gentleman, after this short video, we will hear from the World Heavyweight Champion, and he will be in action against Bobby Lashley.

Raw Rebound | Strike of a Snake
In the opening segment, Batista is attacked by Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase, closely followed by Randy Orton but is saved by Rey Mysterio. Later in the night, he and Mysterio face off against Rhodes and DiBiase, and they looked like they would pick up the win via pin fall but instead they won via disqualification, thanks to an RKO by Randy Orton to The Animal. After the match, Batista was handcuffed to the bottom rope, and Legacy proceeded to attack Mysterio, hitting him with a con-chair-to!

Back on the blue brand...

***HUNT YOU DOWN***​

The biggest heat of the evening goes to this man, the World Heavyweight Champion, who walks out in his usual attire, with a “Dark One” vest on, the title wrapped around his waist. He walks on down the ramp, ignoring the jibes from the fans, tapping his World Title as he does so, almost as if for reassurance. He jogs up the steel steps, picking up a microphone that was laid there for him.


Jim Ross: Last Sunday, The Bash went off the air with Matt Hardy retaining the World Heavyweight Title, hitting a Twist of Fate from the top of the cage!

JBL: And in one of the greatest sights I have ever seen in the WWE, Matt Hardy was stood on top of the cage, holding up the most prestigious championship in the WWE, looking down at all the people who didn’t believe in him.

Jim Ross: What? The fans were always behind Matt until he turned on them by turning on his brother.

JBL: Debateable, J.R.

Hardy now stands in the ring, front and centre, receiving ungodly amount of heat.

Matt Hardy: ... Are you done?

~ This just eggs the crowd on...

Matt Hardy: You people can boo me all you want... but it doesn’t change the fact that I am STILL the World Heavyweight Champion.

~ Hardy taps the World Title around his waist...

Matt Hardy: I am still the holder of the most prestigious title in the WWE... the man that nobody believed in... is now THE top guy on, not only SmackDown, but in the entire WWE.

~ The arrogance is unbelieveable from this man...

Matt Hardy: I own the World Heavyweight Championship... and after The Bash... nobody can say I am a fluke champion. I defeated the face of the WWE, I defeated your hero... I defeated John Cena.

~ Heat...

Matt Hardy: And here’s something I knew from the very beginning – I am better than John Cena.

~ More heat...

Matt Hardy: But there is something that’s been bugging me since The Bash... and that’s the fact that people are blaming me for what happened to him backstage. False accusations... thought up by you people to attempt to deride my championship reign, and ruin my moment. I didn’t need to attack John Cena... because like I said... I knew I was better than him.

~ Hardy begins to pace around the ring...

Matt Hardy: And I proved it. Standing on top of the cage, hitting him with the Twist of Fate, pinning him... one... two... three. And then climbing back up and holding this title up, a picture that you people better get used to seeing.

~ More heat...

Matt Hardy: And now that I’ve dealt with Cena, who’s next to challenge me... oh... my brother, Jeff Hardy.

~ Big pop...

Matt Hardy: He said earlier that he will end my title reign, just like I did to his at the Royal Rumble... but the thing is Jeff, we’ve had two matches... and I’ve won both... the fact is that you can’t beat me, Jeff.

~ A grin appears on the face of the World Heavyweight Champion...

Matt Hardy: And now, we have a match at SummerSlam.

~ Pop...

Matt Hardy: Brother versus brother for the World Heavyweight Championship. Well, Jeff, I say we make it official. Next week, right here in this ring, a contract signing – because Jeff, I’ve got a lot of I want to get off my chest.

~ Hardy turns to the stage...

Matt Hardy: And I want to tell you to your face... that as long as I am Heavyweight Champion – you will never... ever get to hold this championship.

With a sick grin, Hardy drops the microphone and retreats into his corner.

***HELL WILL BE CALLING YOUR NAME***​

Despite not doing much of note since defeating the World Heavyweight Champion a few weeks ago, Bobby Lashley receives a huge pop. He walks onto the stage, dressed in his usual black short tights and has his eyes focused on the ring, where Matt Hardy awaits.


Jim Ross: Ladies and gentleman, we have to take a quick commercial break, but after the break we will see Bobby Lashley take on the World Heavyweight Champion, Matt Hardy in our main event! Don’t go anywhere!

Commercial Break​

In the ring, Lashley pulls down on the ropes, getting prepared as Hardy jumps on the balls of his feet and eventually the referee calls for the bell.

MAIN EVENT – Non Title
Bobby Lashley vs. Matt Hardy

In the beginning, it’s a very tense affair with both men circling the ring. Finally, they meet in the centre with Lashley showing his strength advantage. Bobby controlled the match in the early going, batting away Hardy’s attempts to get into the match, putting on a really good display early on. But there is a reason Hardy is World Champion, he managed to get back into the match, targeting Lashley’s right leg, bringing the big man down a peg.

The commentators make sure to remind us about John Cena’s attack, and how he’s been taking to hospital, whilst questioning who it could have been with J.R certain it’s been Matt Hardy all along. As the two are battling, we get a picture in picture image of Jeff Hardy watching the match on a television backstage, joined by Gregory Helms, the two friends studying the bout.

Near the end, Hardy was still in control, but Lashley managed to battle back, getting a flurry off offense in before setting up for The Dominator... but Hardy countered it into the Side Effect! This got a near fall, so Hardy climbed up to the top rope, looking for a leg drop, but Lashley rolled out of the way! The action spilled onto the outside now, with the two brawling around ring side, they eventually got back into the ring where Matt went for the Twist of Fate but Lashley spun out and hit a sit-down spinebuster!

That got a near fall, the crowd getting into the match. Lashley again, set up for The Dominator... but again Hardy broke away from him, landing on his feet, kicking him in the stomach and connecting with the Twist of Fate! Getting the big win!

Winner – Matt Hardy @ 12.04

A roar of disapproval greets the ringing of the bell, as Matt Hardy rolls off Lashley and sits up. He’s handed his World Title, and makes his way over to the turnbuckle whilst the referee helps Bobby out of the ring.

Jim Ross: A very good display from both men, but in the end Hardy showed why he is the World Heavyweight Champion, continuing his momentum from defeating John Cena at The Bash.

JBL: What a way to end SmackDown, J.R! The World Champion, in all his glory, standing above all these people!

Suddenly, the heat turns to massive cheers as we see JEFF HARDY walking onto the stage!

Jim Ross: Look who it is, JBL!

JBL: What the hell is he doing out here?!

Matt notices the cheers and turns his head, still standing on the turnbuckle, and notices Jeff standing at the top of the ramp. He drops down and walks over to the near ropes, reaching over the ropes and showing the belt off, telling Jeff that he will never hold this. Jeff looks down at this brother, studying him whilst the crowd are cheering very loudly.

Jim Ross: Ladies and gentleman, that’s all we have time for tonight. But, join us next week when we will have more news on the John Cena situation and Matt and Jeff Hardy will take part in a contract signing for SummerSlam! Goodnight, folks!

With the image of the two brothers staring at each other, we fade away...

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Hey bro, told you I’d be checking this out so lets go…

First off, good Superstars results, glad to see Tomko back :p and shall be interesting…

Interesting way to start off SD with Cena being knocked out. I’ll be interested to see if we get any more updates on this. Anyways, SD opens with JR and JBL, recapping Hardy’s win as well as the Cena attack. Epitome of niceness? :L. Can’t wait to see more on this. And here comes Teddy. Decent opening promo from Teddy, basically just asks for the attacker to come forward, which tbh is pointless, the attacker would never come forward :p. JERICHO!! Like how Jericho has Truth and Kendrick with him. Jericho is in character here, and I applaud you for giving all of them mic time. Vince!! :L at McMahon pausing before the Truth comment. Good little tidbit from Vince, assuming Teddy will be risking his job? Yep. Good tag match announced, shall be interesting. Overall, good segment announcing a tag match for Summerslam.

Shelton vs. Kidd. Both are great wrestlers so this shall be interesting. NICE!! As you told me on Skype, you included entrances. :p Love the detail lol. Anyways, onto the match… Good matchup between the two. So Benjamin is the Franchise Playa? Man in black. Easy distraction and Benjamin picks up the win. Interesting...hopefully we’ll see more of this, I have to wonder who Benjamin’s friend in black is. Quick critique for ya…we go from the man in the ring kneeling beside Benjamin, then all of a sudden they’re on the stage. Not much detail, its not a problem but it just seems they randomly left and popped up there. Anyways, good match and shall be interesting later on…Tag match perhaps? :)

Ziggler=cruiserweight champ, I like it. Good tidbit from Ziggler. Tbh, if Ziggler is trying to get over more as a heel, I wouldn’t have had him say JoMo put up a good fight, I’d have him say JoMo isn’t the same league, or something like that, but that’s just me. Layla coming to Dolph for comfort? Aaand Layla’s fired. BTW, if he’s a heel, he wouldn’t comfort her and tell her its probably a misunderstanding and try to work it out, he more than likely wouldn’t care. But anyways, good little tidbit from Dolph, and interesting to see what’s going on with Teddy.

Shelton, and ugh, the Bella :p. Nikki is jealous lol. Anyways…Good little segment from Nikki/Shelton. However, here’s some flaws in this. Grammatical errors boyo. For example, “All that matters if that I won”, “and he – eventually become one-half” yadda, yadda… Just read over the segments you write to make sure they sound like they would be said. Other than that, no complaints thus far.

Vlad=ratings, bro :p. Umm, typo here. “Ziggler will defend against Ziggler”. Once again boyo, just read over it, it’d help. Just a little note. Good matchup between Kane and Vlad, and a good win for Kane. Quite interested about the rose btw. Anyways, love it how the feed goes static, Very interesting moment with the rose. And an after-match attack by Kane. I’m loving Kane’s character right now, and very interested in what the rose has to do with stuff, as well as how it gets there. Love the segment, good job.

:L at the coffee spill on Jericho and him no-selling it, and “You’re damn right it was hot”. Epic. It was funny, but random. Jericho was babbling and wasn’t really too much in character, but no complaints. Jeff after the break, good boyo. To be honest, I’m gonna go ahead and say it. I’m very impressed with your detail here. That’s one thing I love and pick up on in regards to BTB, so I applaud you. Tbh I’m liking this promo from Jeff, he’s playing up to the people with the whole we-thing. Can’t wait for the Hardy vs. Hardy match, shall be epic. Anyways, good segment from Hardy, it builds up to the match and kills the feud with Jericho, so well done on your part.

Jomo vs. Ziggler time. Once again, I’m loving the detail, thank you for adding it in. Quick comment however: I thought the cruiserweight title had a 200 pound limit, not sure but I’m pretty certain, but anyways good win here for Ziggler, it continues to build him up and make him reputable. Summerslam promo, good hype-up and once again I love that banner, and can’t wait to see the four hour spectacle, as always hope you deliver boyo.

Good to see Truth getting some more airtime, I’ve been a fan of the whole crazy Truth gimmick except for the Lil Jimmy stuff. Anyways, curious as to what Kofi and Teddy were talking about. LMAO at Truth asking if they were talking about him and commenting on his skin color. :L “I gots to tell the others!”. Good comedy segment between Teddy/Kofi/Truth, glad to see Kofi on Team Teddy and you’re doing good building this up. I applaud you bro.

Six man tag. Good to see an even match, not much else to say except I expected Bourne/Bryan/Kaval to get the win. Not really sure if there was a point to the match except to fill time as it seems the whole rivalry is finished, but nonetheless, good match.

I’m really liking Hardy’s character here and his promo on the WWE hero Supercena. Good tidbit from Matt exonerating himself from the Cena attacks. And now onto the Summerslam match at hand. Can’t wait for the contract signing, as I’m very curious as to what Matt wants to say. Good promo from Hardy, match time. Let’s go!! Tbh I loved this match, it showed that Hardy is a credible competitor, but gave Lashley a chance to show he’s good as well. Jeff comes out, Jeff/Matt confrontation perhaps? Good way to end the show with a stare-off, can’t wait to see what happens next between them, and saddened that we didn’t hear anything about Cena the remainder of the night.

Overall, this was a pretty good show. I’m glad you put more into your detail, and I really don’t have many complaints. There were a few typos/grammatical errors, but nonetheless you picked up on most of it, and you’ve done pretty good for yourself. I’m loving this BTB, and loving what you’re doing with Matt’s character. Can’t wait to see more from Jeff/Matt as well as Teddy/Jericho, and the whole Cena situation. Good job boyo, you’ve got a reader out of me.

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Breaking News:
Two matches announced for WWE Vengeance.
In the main event, Randy Orton will defend his WWE Championship against The Animal, Batista. Also announced, CM Punk and Jack Swagger will collide in a Submission contest.​
Before the opening video, we cut right into the show, and we are backstage in the parking lot. After a few moments, a car pulls up, and out steps – The Animal, Batista! He gets a massive pop as he walks towards the entrance, but he’s stopped by the Raw General Manager, Jerry Lawler! Batista greets him, but Lawler doesn’t seem to be receptive, instead he tells Batista that he has given him the night off. “What if I don’t want the night off” asks Batista. Lawler responds, saying that it’s not optional. He continues by saying he has a show to run, and he can’t have Batista and Orton at each other’s throats. Batista questions it, but is told to go back to the hotel room, and get prepared for his WWE Championship match at Vengeance. The Animal still questions it and attempts to get by and into the arena, but three burly security guards appear behind Lawler, which makes The Animal think twice. He eventually accepts it and backs away to his car.

WWE Monday Night Raw - 20th July 2009

Once the opening video concludes, the commentary team hype up the main event for the evening, The Miz vs. Carlito and the fact that we’ll hear from the WWE Champion, Randy Orton tonight after his beating of Rey Mysterio last week.

***REGALITY***

A loud batch of heat rises from the crowd as The Monarchy make their way down the ramp. William Regal, the Intercontinental Champion, joined by the World Tag Team Champions Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness and finally the enforcer of the group, Wade Barrett. They climb into the ring and Regal takes the microphone and says he offered Sheamus a prize place in one of the WWE’s most dominant groups, and quite possibly the greatest group in WWE history. He questions Sheamus’ decision, and then asks why Sheamus would get involved last week when he was teaching TJ Perkins a lesson. He says that TJ has been on a huge roll, he’s a very popular Superstar, but being popular gets you nowhere, and he also says that he cut off Perkins’ momentum last week.

Regal then states that TJ Perkins, despite believing that he wants a title shot, will never get an opportunity as long as he is champion. He hands the microphone to Drew McIntyre, who talks about his upcoming match, teaming with McGuiness, defending their tag team championships against MVP and Mr. Kennedy. He says that Kennedy and Porter cannot win because McIntyre and McGuiness know each other so well, they are in sync, whilst Porter and Kennedy only started teaming together a few weeks ago. Regal takes the microphone and says reiterates that they are the strongest entity on Raw, and no one can stop them.

***STRONGER***

A massive pop greets the music of one, TJ Perkins, who walks out onto the stage, dressed in his usual attire – he looks ready for a fight. He has a microphone though and stands at the top of the ramp. He says that he does deserve a shot at that championship, and the only reason that Regal is not accepting his challenge, is because he’s scared. William scoffs at that, and says after what he did to him last week, it should be him that’s scared. Perkins then goes on and says how he would love to go down to that ring and teach The Monarchy a lesson. This draws some laughter from each member of the group, before Regal quiets them and welcomes Perkins down, if he has the guts.

To a big pop, Perkins begins to walk down, but then stops and says that he would be stupid to go into that ring alone so he brought some back up.

***I’M COMIN***

All eyes turn to the stage, where MVP and Mister Kennedy jog out, and stand next to Perkins. Regal still says they are outnumbered four to three... but then all three of them point back at the stage.

***WRITTEN IN MY FACE***

Despite only being around for a couple of weeks, Sheamus gets a solid pop from the crowd as he makes his way down the ramp and stands beside the other three. Regal and the World Tag Team Champions drop their championships and throw the microphones to the side, before welcoming them into the ring. The fans murmur in anticipation and then the four on the ramp make their way down the ramp! They slowly climb into the ring and stand across from The Monarchy.

Perkins across from Regal, MVP and Kenendy across from McIntyre and McGuiness and Sheamus standing across from Wade Barrett. They stare at each other, nobody making a move until finally Sheamus explodes forward, tackling Barrett and taking him off balance, and immediately following that the rest of the wrestlers in the ring explode towards each other and we’ve got a huge brawl to kick off Monday Night Raw!

MVP manages to clothesline McIntyre over the top rope, but tumbles over with him, leaving McGuiness to get the advantage over Kennedy and throw him over the top. He goes over to help Regal who is struggling with Perkins, but then Perkins turns around and smashes Nigel’s temple with a Roundhouse Kick! He goes down and rolls out of the ring as we see Sheamus and Barrett tumble to the outside, leaving Perkins to hit a running knee to the face to Regal!!

He goes to the top rope, looking for the 450 Splash, but McIntyre reaches in and pulls Regal out! Perkins hops off the top rope, as his buddies climb back into the ring. The Monarchy retreat up the ramp, and then talk things over... before beginning to walk back down!

***THE GREAT GATE OF KIEV***

Despite Lawler’s usual popularity, he gets a mixed response as he interrupts this potential brawl. He has a microphone in his hand and tells The Monarchy not to take another step towards that ring. He continues and tells them that if they want a fight, they’ll get it tonight, when Sheamus takes on Wade Barrett! He then says that as William Regal doesn’t have a challenger for Vengeance, he is going to name THEM right now. He announces that it’ll be William Regal defending his Intercontinental Championship against Sheamus... and TJ Perkins in a triple threat match at Vengeance!

With an irate Regal screaming at him, Lawler walks backstage, leaving Perkins and Sheamus to awkwardly glance at each other.


COMMERCIAL BREAK

Backstage, Renee Young is standing by with The All American, Jack Swagger. She asks him why he brutally assaulted CM Punk last week and Swagger simply responds with one word – Hatred. He says he hates CM Punk, and he would love to do what he did to CM Punk last week, again. “But unfortunately, that’ll have to wait until Sunday, because CM Punk isn’t here because of what I did.” Swagger continues by saying that at Vengeance he plans on doing to Punk, what he did to Jimmy Yang... and that’s break his ankle. Renee attempts to ask another question, but Swagger tells her this interview is over and he has a match to get too.

MATCH ONE – TAG TEAM BOUT
~ Maryse at ringside ~
GAIL KIM & MICKIE JAMES vs. KATIE LEA & MICHELLE MCCOOL

In the opening contest of the evening, three of the four Divas involved in the Women’s Championship match at Vengeance went to war. With Maryse at ringside, scouting her opposition, she witnessed Kim and Mickie take control in the early going, working over McCool, with Katie Lea not looking the least bit interested on the apron. A brief comeback from McCool resulted in a tag to Katie, who began dominating, perhaps showing why she deserved to be involved at Vengeance. She tagged back in McCool, and then a few moments pass by before Katie takes off, walking up the ramp and disappearing, leaving McCool to face the consequences. But as Mickie was getting ready to end the match, the Women’s Champion entered the ring and smashed the title into both Mickie’s and then McCool’s face, before hitting Kim as she tried to get involved.

WINNER – NO CONTEST @ 3.01

Boos rain down from the crowd as the Women’s Champion stands tall in the middle of her three challengers this coming Sunday. She adjusts her dress and fluffs up her hair, grinning and rubbing her championship before holding it up in the air, drawing some more heat from the crowd.

MATCH TWO – SINGLE BOUT
CHARLIE HAAS vs. JACK SWAGGER


Haas has been on something of a bad streak recently, not winning a match, and it doesn’t help tonight that he’s wrestling Jack Swagger. But, Haas did make it somewhat competitive in the opening couple of minutes, getting a chunk off offense in before Swagger thought back and ruthlessly put Haas away with the Gutwrench Powerbomb, and making him tap out with The Patriot Lock.

WINNER – JACK SWAGGER @ 5.12

A simple, easy victory for Swagger tonight, building momentum for the upcoming Submission Match this coming Sunday. He’s about to leave the ring, but then the titan tron sparks into the life and on it is his opponent on Sunday – CM Punk!

Punk, being live via satellite from his home, stops Swagger in his tracks and begins to speak. He refers to Swagger’s beating of him last week, and points to the stitches on his forehead, and says he will get his revenge, and he will savour every single moment of it. Punk continues and references the fact that Swagger said he hates him, so Punk says that the feeling is mutual, and he says that once he locks the Anaconda Vice in on Sunday, he will watch as Swagger screams in pain, and once Swagger gets to that breaking point, the point where he is begging to be let go, he says he will continue to wrench the hold, he says he will continue until he not only breaks Swagger’s spirit, but he’ll continue until he breaks his bones.

The feed turns to static, leaving Swagger to mull over those words.


COMMERCIAL BREAK

---

The video opens in a dark room, a man is standing with a light shining behind him, shadowing his face, but we can tell it’s The Viper, Randy Orton staring at the ground.

Creepy Male Narrator: Vengeance.

Crashing shots of Orton looking up slowly, while interspersed are shots of him punting Vince McMahon in the head, The Viper completes the motion of looking up.

Creepy Male Narrator: Vengeance is the infliction of injury on a man who has wronged you.

Shot of Randy, in slow motion, RKO’ing Ric Flair.

Creepy Male Narrator:Vengeance is when Superstars take action against their enemies.

Greyed-out footage of The Viper and Legacy raising The Undertaker on a cross.

Creepy Male Narrator: Vengeance equals pain. For who? Isn’t always clear.

Now, we get footage of Backlash where Orton punts Triple H in the head.

We’re back in the room, we see Orton grinning at the camera, and then he walks past it.

Then we footage of him punting The Animal, Batista in the skull.

Back in the room, an unknown man enters the room, walking in front of the camera, we can’t see the man’s face though.

???: Vengeance will be mine.

~ WWE Vengeance ~
_____

Backstage, we see the WWE Champion, Randy Orton leading his Legacy brethren, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase down a hallway. They are each dressed in jeans and leather jackets, and eventually they stop in front of a door that says “Legacy” and they swing the door open and step inside, shutting it on the cameraman.

In the arena...

***SURVIVAL OF THE SICKEST***

Drawing a lot of heat, the secondary music of The Monarchy hits and out comes the enforcer of the group, Wade Barrett. He walks down the ramp, and rubs his beard as he reaches the ring, jogging up the steel steps and stepping into the ring. He punches his palm with his other hand as he reaches the turnbuckle, before turning around and waiting for his opponent.

***WRITTEN IN MY FACE***

For the second time tonight, Sheamus makes an appearance, walking out on to the stage and pounding his chest. He walks down the ramp, looking pumped up for this match against one of The Monarchy members. He climbs into the ring but is immediately attacked by Barrett, prompting the referee to call for the bell.


MATCH THREE – SINGLES BOUT
SHEAMUS vs. WADE BARRETT

This was a very hard hitting and competitive match up, between two very skilled and very brutal Superstars. Sheamus, still remembering the Bullhammer Elbow he suffered, made a quick start, laying into Barrett and taking control of the bout. A few minutes go by before Barrett makes a comeback, using his striking ability, and a couple of dirty tricks to get back into the match. He got a little too cocky though, and allowed Sheamus back into proceedings, he went through a sequence of very impressive moves before setting up for the Brogue Kick, but William Regal ran down the ramp, and distracted him, setting him up for a big boot from Barrett! As we head to a commercial.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Back from the break, and we see TJ Perkins has joined the frey, standing at the other side of the ring to Regal, and supporting Sheamus in the match. Barrett is in complete control though, and listens to his mentor at ringside, giving him instructions and putting them to good effect. After a few minutes of domination, Barrett set up for the Bullahammer Elbow, but he missed and Sheamus hit White Noise for a near fall. Both men were down and when they stood up, they exchanged punches, with Barrett getting the better. Sheamus got back into the fight though, and was setting up for his finisher, when Regal got involved again, climbing onto the apron, but Sheamus hit him off, and he turned around to see TJ Perkins diving at him from the top of the steel steps! But TJ hits the back off his head off the mat, and appears to have taken the worst of that blow, meanwhile in the ring Sheamus turns around and ducks the Bullhammer again, and hits The Brogue Kick from nowhere.

WINNER – SHEAMUS @ 15.49

It’s absolute chaos at ringside with both Perkins and Regal down, the only one standing in the entire ring area is the man that just won this match, Sheamus! He gets a rousing ovation from the fans, and takes it well, raising his arms in the air but suddenly attacked from behind... by William Regal!

Despite receiving a kick to the head from Perkins, he’s back on his feet and is stomping on the man that just won a hard thought match. Regal backs away, and pulls something out of his trunks, it’s brass knuckles! He puts them on and waits for Sheamus to get to his feet, but then suddenly Perkins is back in the ring... springboarding off the top rope and smashing a knee into the side of Regal’s face!!

Regal crumbles to the ground and rolls out of the ring, he’s joined by Barrett on the ramp and the two back away, they’ve lost this battle but the war is far from over as Perkins extends a hand to Sheamus to help him up, he accepts and is helped to his feet. Friends tonight, but enemies on Sunday.

Primo asks him what last week was about, but Carlito can only apologise, saying he was frustrated and he took it out on somebody else, which he shouldn’t have. Primo accepts the apology and wishes his brother luck for later tonight, he asks Carlito if he wants him at ringside but ‘Lito says this is something he has to do by himself.

MATCH FOUR – DIVAS CONTEST
BETH PHOENIX vs. CARLY WU

Not breaking a sweat, Beth Phoenix easily defeats Carly Wu (Local Jobber) after dominating for half a minute, before picking her up and slamming her back down with The GlamSlam.

WINNER – BETH PHOENIX @ 0.43

After celebrating her win, Beth gets on the microphone and says that he is feeling pretty good after her victory tonight, and for that reason she is welcoming Melina to come out to the ring and have Vengeance a few days early. The fans like the sound of that, and Beth turns to the stage and tells her to come on out, but then she says “Oh wait...”

She points to the titan tron, which sparks into life and in a hallway, we see the lifeless body of one Melina, propped up against a production box! The crowd boo as in the ring Beth shrugs her shoulders. She gets back on the microphone and says that is just a taste of what Melina will look like this coming Sunday, and after Vengeance, she will set her sights on the Women’s Championship!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

***COOL***

Getting a warm reaction, Mr. Cool himself, Carlito walks out onto the stage, apple in hand and makes his way down the ramp. He climbs into the ring and appears to be psyching himself up as he waits for his opponent.

***I CAME TO PLAY***

A loud reaction consisting of heat now comes from the crowd as The Miz walks onto the stage! He seems to be basking in the heat as he walks towards the ring, he climbs into it and gets prepared for this match.

MAIN EVENT – SINGLES BOUT
CARLITO vs. THE MIZ


In a very solid main event, The Miz and Carlito fought for over ten minutes, the momentum shifting throughout the match. Without his brother at ringside, Carlito was extremely focused, showing what we’ve been missing recently from him. The Miz seemed a tad distracted, perhaps thinking about his upcoming match against Shawn Michaels at Vengeance. In the end, Carlito went for a Backstabber but Miz hooked his arms around the top rope, Carlito hit the back of his head and Miz took advantage, grabbing him and hitting Skull Crushing Finale.

WINNER – THE MIZ @ 12.59

It was by no means easy, but The Miz picks up a solid win just before his big match this upcoming Sunday. He rolls out of the ring, and begins to back up the ramp but suddenly...

***SEXY BOY***

A massive pop comes from the crowd as SHAWN MICHAELS slowly walks onto the stage, dressed in jeans and a vest top. He looks down at Miz who stops in his tracks, and then suddenly he’s sprinting down the ramp, ducking a wild clothesline by Miz and grabbing him from behind, he pulls him into the ring and begins to pound on him with a lot of punches!

But then the crowd begin booing... which alerts Shawn to something but it’s too late, he turns around... RIGHT INTO A BIG BOOT FROM TYSON TOMKO!! Michaels hits the mat with a lot of force, and Tomko picks him up, but Michaels breaks his arms away and begins to punch the big man... but then The Miz comes up behind him, grabs him and CONNECTS WITH SKULL CRUSHING FINALE!

Loud hear greets the finishing move and for the third time in three weeks, The Miz has gotten the better of Shawn Michaels as we head into their 2 out of 3 falls match on Sunday.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

***VOICES***

The WWE Champion, Randy Orton now makes his entrance, with the belt on his shoulder, he gets a lot of heat from the crowd and makes his way down the ramp, without Cody Rhodes or Ted DiBiase. He climbs into the ring, and grabs a microphone.

He starts by introducing himself, as the WWE Champion, Randy Orton. The Viper then says that Batista isn’t here tonight, but he hopes that he is watching, because he wants him to hear this. He speaks about their time in Evolution, and how they were both groomed for success, and after Evolution we both become champions, he say’s there careers have been very similar, but for the fact that Randy Orton is a third generation Superstar, meaning that he didn’t need Evolution to be a WWE Champion, whereas Batista came from nothing, he needed everything that Triple H and Ric Flair gave him.

He says that he was the star of Evolution, and now he is the face of Monday Night Raw and the current WWE Champion. Continuing, he says that he has put a lot of Superstars out of action recently, the two biggest names – Triple H and Ric Flair, and at Vengeance he’ll be putting the third member of the former Evolution group on the injured list, just like he did to his friend Rey Mysterio.

Orton then talks about last week, saying that what he did to Mysterio wasn’t personal, he says he harboured no ill will to Rey, but he was associated to a man that The Viper despised, and he was a vessel to get underneath his skin. He asks if anybody would like to see it again, the crowd respond with boos but Orton ignores them and tells the people backstage to roll the footage.

We head back to last week, and see the brutal assault before cutting back to the arena, and seeing a grinning Randy Orton. He says that is just a small piece of what’s going to happen to Batista at Vengeance, he is about to continue but MASSIVE cheers come from the crowd as the tron comes into life and we see a car pull into the parking lot.

And out steps, THE ANIMAL, Batista! Orton sees this and his eyes widen, he screams into the microphone for Ted and Cody to get out to the ring, they do so quickly and stand beside their leader. On the tron, Batista begins to walk through the arena, but then three burly security guards get in his way and try to stop him. One puts his hand on Batista’s chest, and Batista tells him that if he wants to keep that hand then he’ll take it off him. The guard does the smart thing and takes it off, The Animal tries to get by but one of the guards steps in front again, and suddenly BATISTA GRABS HIM AND THROWS HIM TO THE SIDE!

The two guards try to restrain but The Animal dispatches them easily, throwing them off and walking towards the arena. In the ring, Orton places his WWE Championship down and tells Rhodes and DiBiase to stand on the ramp, they do so and after a few moments...BATISTA APPEARS ON THE STAGE!!

He stands on the top, and looks down at Orton, he takes his shades off and a look of rage is in his eyes. He takes off his leather jacket and throws it to the side, and then walks down the ramp! Rhodes and DiBiase meet him half way, and after a brief struggle he easily dispatches of the two of them!

Nothing stands in Batista’s way now and he begins jogging to the ring, sliding in and tackling Orton! Batista gets on top and lays a massive amount of shots into Orton’s head!

When, suddenly, a group of wrestlers come rushing out from the back, led by the Raw GM! The five faces grab Batista and pull him off Orton, bringing him back into the corner and the five heels pick Orton up and pull him into the opposite corner! Batista and Orton attempt to get to each other, and it’s Batista that breaks free, rushing at Orton and leaping over the heel wrestlers who tried to stop him, getting a couple of shots in before even more wrestlers come out from the back, this time including some of the more well known wrestlers such as TJ Perkins, MVP, Kennedy and more. The added wrestlers help restrain the two of them, and with Michael Cole marking out at ringside, for the last time before Vengeance, we fade to black!

WWE Friday Night SmackDown - 24th July 2009

SmackDown kicks off tonight with the usual opening video package, before we swing into the arena and are greeted by the commentators, Jim Ross and John Bradshaw Layfield. They run through the card for tonight, including a star studded tag team main event where John Cena will team with Bobby Lashley to take on Chris Jericho and The Brian Kendrick. Once the commentators conclude their ramblings...

***MACMILITANT***

The General Manager of SmackDown, Theodore Long gets a warm reception from the fans as he makes his way down to the ring. He grabs a microphone from the steel steps, and steps into the squared circle. He begins by speaking about Chris Jericho went behind his back to the higher ups, with a matter that could have been dealt with between them, but Long reassures everyone that there is no conspiracy, and every Superstar is treated fairly.
He continues on by saying he knows how important the four on four match at Summerslam will be, because if his team fail then he is out of a job, and that means his family will go hungry. Teddy states that it is because of that, he needs to put together the best team possible, and we have that team, he says that we all know Kofi Kingston is part of the team, but just who is the team captain? He pauses for a moment before introducing... The Rated R Superstar... EDGE!


***METALINGUS***

Smoke fills the stage as cheers fill the arena, and a moment later we see EDGE appear from behind the smoke. He makes his way down the ramp, wearing a Rated R Superstar T-Shirt and enters the ring, grabbing a microphone from ringside. He begins by saying that when Teddy Long came to him with the notion of being the team captain, he was a little hesitant, but knowing that he could potentially ruin Chris Jericho’s big plan was too good to say no to. He states that Teddy and himself hasn’t always seen eye to eye, but he has always treated him fairly, he has treated him like he would treat any Superstar. With Teddy nodding in the background, Edge turns to him and personally guarantees that his job as SmackDown General Manager is safe him and the other member of the team... KOFI KINGSTON! Edge turns to the stage, segueing well into...

***SOS***

The United States Champion bounces onto the stage; Kofi Kingston gets a solid response from the crowd in tonight as he walks down the ramp, tapping his belt before climbing into the ring. He doesn’t grab a microphone though, instead he fist bumps Edge and man hugs the General Manager. Edge gets back on the mic, and says “Now, that’s two of the four members... but about the other two?” He begins to introduce them as a team personally signed by Teddy Long a few months back, they are two of the most talented wrestler he has ever seen... but before he can finish his introduction... HE AND KOFI ARE BLINDSIDED! BY THE BRIAN KENDRICK, EZEKIEL JACKSON AND R-TRUTH!

No sign of Chris Jericho as the threesome get Kingston and Edge on the mat, Teddy makes himself scarce as the fans begin to fill the arena with boos! But suddenly the arena begins to buzz in a good way as we see... DANIEL BRYAN and KAVAL slide into the ring behind Kendrick, Jackson and Truth! The crowd react with a strong pop as Bryan takes Kendrick out with a running front drop kick and Kaval ducks a clothesline from Truth and connects with a Pele Kick!! But then they turn around... into a HUGE DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE BY JACKSON!! Boos ring around the arena as Jackson stands above Bryan and Kaval but then he swings around... INTO A SPEAR!! It’s electric inside the arena as Jackson rolls out of the ring, clutching his stomach as a result of that deadly spear by Edge!

Long climbs back into the ring as Truth, Kendrick and Jackson back up the ramp, not looking very good as Edge and Kingston help Daniel Bryan and Kaval. The commentators then put over that these two must be the final two members and it’s now set for Summerslam, Team Teddy – Edge, Kingston, Bryan and Kaval vs. Team Jericho – Jericho, Kendrick, Jackson and Truth!
Teddy admires the team he and Edge has put together as we cut to a commercial.


COMMERCIAL BREAK

And back from the commercial, we head to ringside where the commentators talk over a replay of what just happened before hyping up the huge match at Summerslam. They then briefly talk about the Cruiserweight Battle Royal for later on tonight, which will determine Dolph Ziggler’s opponent for next week’s championship defence!

MATCH ONE – #1 CONTENDERS (WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP)
THE LIFEBLOOD OF EXTREME (TOMMY DREAMER & STEVIE RICHARDS) vs. CURT HAWKINS & ZACK RYDER
In this opening contest, The Lifeblood of Extreme and the team of Hawkins and Ryder went all out for the chance to become number one contenders to the WWE Tag Team Championships. With Richards and Dreamer obviously being more experienced than Hawkins and Ryder, they took control in the early going, but the stamina of the other team came into play and they took advantage. The ending came rather quickly though, as Richards and Hawkins were down on the outside, Dreamer and Ryder were trading punches on the outside, and suddenly SHELTON BENJAMIN and the mysterious man came rushing from the crowd, sliding into the ring, Benjamin hitting Paydirt to Ryder and the mysterious man hitting a rolling wheel kick!
WINNER – NO CONTEST @ 3.04

Confusion rings around the arena as SHELTON BENJAMIN and that figure from last week stand over both Tommy Dreamer and Zack Ryder. Benjamin grins as he walks over to the corner and demands two microphone! He walks back to the centre and hands a mic to his friend before speaking himself “I think it’s time that we tell everyone just what that was all about” He then says that was a message to The Hart Dynasty, we are the future WWE Tag Team Champions, not the two teams that competed in this match. “But, I suppose you’re all wonderin’... just who this man is” Benjamin motions to the side and asks the man to remove the hood... and it reveals... A BLACK MAN!

“Introducing my new tag team partner... KENNY KING!”

Despite not being well known to the WWE fans, he gets some heat for what he’s just done and gets on the microphone. He says that he’s hear for one reason and one reason only, “those tag team titles, baby!” He continues by introducing himself as “The Prime Time” Kenny King and states he along with “The Franchise Playa” Shelton Benjamin will become the new WWE Tag Team Champions! A few moments pass by before their music hit and SmackDown’s newest tag team, make their way out of the ring and up the ramp.


COMMERCIAL BREAK
We return from the commercial break, and we are in the office of SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long. He’s looking through some papers but is interrupted when the Cruiserweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler enters the room. Long stands up to greet him with a handshake but Ziggler ignores it. Ziggler says “what you did to Layla was a blatant abuse of power” But Long retorts by saying Layla shouldn’t have got involved with you, as General Managers can’t date Superstars. Ziggler asks Long if that’s a bit hypocritical considering what he did a few years ago, he then continues by saying he hopes that his team loses at Summerslam, so we can actually get a competent General Manager running this show.
Before Long can answer back, Ziggler walks away and we cut away,

***

SUMMERSLAM COUNTDOWN
~~ !! 37 DAYS !! ~~


~~ Summerslam Moment ~~
~ We head back to 1994 when brother vs. brother took place as Owen Hart took on The Hitman, Bret Hart! We see various moves that took place inside the cage, including a Piledriver, Sharpshooters from both men and a Suplex from the cage before we see Bret come out victorious!

***


And we’ve cut to the interview set where the gorgeous, Tiffany stands with a microphone in her hand. She introduces her guest as a former World Heavyweight Champion and one of the biggest stars on SmackDown, John Cena! He gets a massive pop from the crowd tonight, and Tiffany begins by talking about his match against Matt Hardy at The Bash, which Cena responds by saying “the better man won that night”, he says he’s not going to make excuses by saying it was the attack which caused him to lose, instead Matt was simply the better man on that night. Tiffany then asks about the attacker and who he thinks it could be, and John says he has a lot of enemies, but he has no clue who it could be, he’s simply focusing on his tag team main event later.


MATCH TWO – SINGLES MATCH
JOEY GRIMES (LOCAL JOBBER) vs. MIKE KNOX

Easy win here for Knox, domination from start to finish - he ends it with a flying leg drop from the top rope.
WINNER – MIKE KNOX @ 1.01

A ring of boos react to the three count as Knox takes his foot off the jobbers chest and raises his arms, he then exits the ring and backs up the ramp, pulling on his beard as he looks at the ring... but suddenly...

BANG

***SLOW CHEMICAL***


Knox whirls around to see The Big Red Monster, Kane making his way towards him, he takes up a defensive stance but Kane simply walks past him! Mike turns to see what he’s doing as he enters the ring and grabs Grimes... pulling him up to his feet and HITTING HIM WITH A CHOKE SLAM! More boos come from the crowd as Kane stands above Grimes, Knox is gone now as Kane pulls Grimes up AGAIN! Before HITTING HIM WITH ANOTHER CHOKE SLAM!
The heat is deafening in the arena but Kane isn’t done, instead he exits the ring and grabs a Steel Chair! He slides back into the ring and wraps the Steel Chair around Grimes’ leg! The Big Red Monster then climbs to the top rope, and leaps off, landing foot first onto the STEEL CHAIR! CRUSHING JOEY’S LEG!
Medical staff rush to the ring as Kane looks down at the local jobber, shouting “They made me do it!”


COMMERCIAL BREAK

After the commercial, we see a black car pull up in the parking lot, and after a few moments, JEFF HARDY exits from the drivers seat door to a lot of cheers. He walks around his car and opens the boot, and pulls out a black bag. The number one contender walks towards the entrance.

We cut to the arena where Chavo Guerrero, Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble are already in the ring.


***IT’S TIME***

A warm reaction greets the music of the former superhero as Gregory Helms makes his way onto the stage, wearing a long trench coat and a bandana on his forehead. Helms walks down the ring, looking confident at his chances to become the number one contender to Dolph Ziggler’s Cruiserweight Championship. He hops onto the apron and enters the ring, keeping an eye on all of his opponents that are there already.

***AIN’T NO MAKE BELIEVE***

The man that has lost to Dolph Ziggler twice in a row now makes his entrance, getting a solid pop from the crowd and makes his way down to the ring. The commentators talk about how this could be his last shot at getting a title match with Ziggler for the foreseeable future.

***BORN TO WIN***

The biggest pop of the match entrances now comes as Evan Bourne jogs onto the stage, closely followed by Kelly Kelly who stands and applauds as Bourne starts to walk down the ramp. The commentators make sure to add that whoever wins this match will get a shot next week against Dolph Ziggler. Once he’s in the ring, the referee is about to ring for the bell but...

***HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD***

Loud heat comes from the fans as the WWE Cruiserweight Champion walks onto the stage, with Layla by his side the twosome walk down the ramp. Dolph shines up his belt as they walk around the ring, Layla eyeing Kelly up as they pass and taking a seat a ringside with the commentators.


MATCH THREE – NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS BATTLE ROYAL (CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP)
CHAVO GUERRERO vs. EVAN BOURNE vs. GREGORY HELMS vs. JAMIE NOBLE vs.
JOEY MERCURY vs. JOHN MORRISON

Solid enough battle royal here, with each Superstar getting some limelight to shine tonight. It came down to Chavo Guerrero, Evan Bourne, Gregory Helms and John Morrison as the final four, before it whittled down to a final three with Guerrero being eliminated. Despite Helms and Morrison both attempting to eliminate Bourne, he turned the tables and managed to eliminate Helms, leaving he and Morrison. They battled for a couple of minutes, but in the end it was Bourne who eliminated Morrison and became number one contender.
WINNER AND NUMBER ONE CONTENDER – EVAN BOURNE @ 10.34


A hard thought victory as Morrison slaps the apron, frustrated with coming up short. Kelly slides into the ring and practically jumps on Bourne, hugging him and celebrating with him. On the outside, Ziggler and Layla stand up and begin to applaud. Bourne catches this but also catches the sarcasm in their applause as they begin to walk around the ring and up the ramp. Bourne motions his hands across his stomach, prompting Ziggler to unhook his belt and raise it high into the air for everyone to see.

We cut backstage where Brie and Nikki Bella are chatting about the usual stuff, but then are interrupted as Shelton Benjamin and Kenny King enter the scene. Benjamin and Nikki share a hug as King checks out Brie, who rolls her eyes at the obvious stare. Nikki thanks Benjamin for a great night on Wednesday which draws a sigh from Brie, and Shelton says that he knows Brie isn’t happy about this relationship, but before he can finish King steps in and checks Brie out from head to toe, before telling her that she is very beautiful and should join him for a drink. Nikki nudges her sister in the side but Brie simply sighs and walks off leaving Nikki to apologise for her sister’s attitude.

Before we head to a commercial...

***MACMILITANT***

For the second time tonight, the music of the General Manager, Theodore Long hits and he gets another warm reception as he walks down to the ring. A ring which is clad in a black mat and has a wooden table in the centre of the ring. The commentators put over how the World Champion and his challenger will be in the ring for a face to face, right after this commercial break.


COMMERCIAL BREAK

Theodore Long stands in the ring, looking over the contract as...

***NO MORE WORDS***

A MASSIVE reaction consisting of cheers comes now as JEFF HARDY walks onto the stage, dressed in blue jeans and a tan leather jacket. He soaks in the cheers from the crowd before heading down the ramp, taking the time to high five some fans on the right side, before going back for more at the left side. He finally climbs into the ring and takes a seat at the table.

***HUNT YOU DOWN***

Another HUGE reaction, but this time it’s solely of boos as Jeff’s Brother, Matt Hardy, the current World Heavyweight Champion walks onto the stage, wearing jeans and a simple t-shirt, with the belt on his shoulder. He walks down to the ring, eyes focused on his brother and takes a seat across from him.

The two stare at each other for a moment, but then Long interjects and places the contract in the centre of them, and says “as champion, Matt, would you like to sign first?” Matt takes the contract and looks it over, before signing on the dotted line, and starts to slide it across the table to his brother but then pulls it back. He then grabs a microphone that was near them, and props his belt up on the table. “So here we are again” He says, and continues by saying that it’s Hardy vs. Hardy for the third time, and makes reference to the fact that he has beat Jeff twice in a row now. “And now just because the title is on the line, you think it’ll be different?” Jeff responds with an “I do” but Matt ignores it and continues, saying that he’s always been the more talented brother, and it seems that people are starting to accept that which gets a lot of heat from the crowd.
He ignores them and says he’s took his rightful spot as World Heavyweight Champion, after a decade of trying, after a decade of being held back in favour of Jeff. He says that Jeff Hardy is not a threat to him, he then says that at Summerslam he will end the challenge of his brother, and cement his place as the greatest World Heavyweight Champion in history.

He slides the contract across the table, but before Jeff signs it, he grabs a microphone. “Congratulations, it took you ten years, it took turning on your fans, and it took turning on your family... but you got there” A grin appears on the face of Matt as Jeff continues, saying he may be zero and two against his brother but at Summerslam it will be a different story, because this is more than a match to him, it’s about retribution. “You cost me the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble... and now I’m going to take the World Championship away from you” This gets a big pop and Jeff continues by saying at Summerslam it will be him holding the gold, and that will make right every single disgusting thing that Matt has done to him during the last year, “from the hit and run, to the attack in the stair well, and even the setting fire of my house, which killed my dog”.
The grin doesn’t leave the face of Matt despite the comment about his dog, which simply riles the crowd up even more. Jeff says that there will be no gimmick to this match, “we’ve had an Extreme Rules match and a T-L-C match... but this is a simple one on one contest and at the end of the match... I will become World Heavyweight Champion”
Jeff then picks up the pen and forcefully signs on the dotted line, and then stands up and forcefully pushes the table out of the way, Matt stands up quickly, grabbing his belt before the throw, and the two brothers go face to face!
The two of them talk some trash to each other, cameras flashing as two of the biggest stars go face to face. Despite Teddy Long’s best efforts to separate them, Matt SUDDENLY SLAPS HIS BROTHER ON THE CHEEK!
Boo’s come from the crowd as he KICKS HIM IN THE STOMACH... AND LOOKS FOR THE TWIST OF FATE... BUT JEFF SPINS OUT AND PUSHES MATT AGAINST THE ROPES!
He rebounds into a kick... AND THIS TIME IT’S JEFF GOING FOR THE TWIST OF FATE... BUT MATT PUSHES HIM AWAY AND SLIDES OUT OF THE RING!! Heat greets the backing off of the World Champion who reaches into the ring and pulls his belt out, before backing away, pointing at Jeff and saying “You’ll never beat me!” but Jeff welcomes him back into the ring to test that theory, however he simply keeps walking backwards as we head to a commercial.


COMMERCIAL BREAK

After the break, we get a recap of what just happened before, with the commentators stating how it will all come to a head at Summerslam.

MATCH FOUR – SINGLES BOUT
KANE vs. SANTINO MARELLA
Simple enough match here, Kane being in a very bad mood, managed to dominate Santino from the opening bell to the last bell. Some comedy was interspersed in this match, but at some points the beating was hard to watch. Easy win, which comes as a result of a Choke Slam.
WINNER – KANE @ 2.09

Despite Santino’s best efforts, Kane picks up the easy victory here tonight, to add to his already successful night. He gets some good heat but then it goes to another level as he picks up Santino again, and PLANTS HIM WITH ANOTHER CHOKE SLAM! The boos rain down again, but Kane isn’t done, he exits the ring and grabs A STEEL CHAIR! He starts to enter the ring but then...

***PAIN***

All eyes turn to the stage to see VLADIMIR KOZLOV angrily walking down the ramp! He and Kane lock eyes and The Big Red Monster gets ready with the chair in his hands. Kozlov slides into the ring, and DUCKS A SHOT FROM THE CHAIR! He hits the ropes, bouncing back and HITTING THE BATTERING RAM... HEADBUTT RIGHT TO THE CHEST!!
A big pop greets Kane falling to the ground, he clutches his chest as he slides out of the ring, and backs up the ramp, he continues to hold his stomach as Kozlov welcomes him back into the ring.
Instead, Kane turns his back on Kozlov, and walks up the ramp as we cut away.

After the video, we go backstage where Evan Bourne and Kelly Kelly are getting ready to leave the arena, they enter the parking lot and walk towards Bourne’s car. But, they are stopped by the WWE Cruiserweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler and Layla, who eyes Kelly up and down. Ziggler congratulates Bourne on winning the Battle Royal earlier tonight, but also says “all that effort will have been for nothin’... ‘cause there is no way you are takin’ my Cruiserweight Championship” Bourne glances at Kelly who shakes her head, he then says that he’s dealt with bigger and tougher opponents than Dolph, and by the end of SmackDown next week, you will be looking at the new Cruiserweight Champion. Bourne and Kelly continue on, opening the doors to their car and step inside, leaving Layla to reassure Ziggler that no one will take that belt away from him.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

***MAN WITH A PLAN***

A loud response consisting of heat arrives as The Brian Kendrick makes his entrance, accompanied by R-Truth and Ezekiel Jackson, the threesome make their way down the ramp, and climb into the ring and wait for their leader to make his entrance.

***BREAK THE WALLS DOWN***

One of the biggest reactions of the night comes now as Chris Jericho walks onto the stage, dressed in black and blue trunks. He walks down the ramp, and jogs up the steel steps before swinging into the ring and joining his team mates.

***HELL WILL BE CALLING YOUR NAME***

A very popular individual now makes his entrance, getting a loud pop from the crowd, as Bobby Lashley walks onto the stage. He poses, setting off his pyrotechnics and then begins to walk down the ramp. Showing off his bravery, he doesn’t wait for his tag team partner, instead he simply climbs into the ring, staring into the eyes of four deadly Superstars.

***MY TIME IS NOW***

Disregarding Jeff Hardy’s entrance, this is the biggest pop of the night, and John Cena jogs onto the stage, dressed in his blue t-shirt and blue jean shorts. He salutes and sprints down the ramp, sliding into the ring and joining his tag team partner. He runs the ropes and throws his cap to some kid at ringside, he then fist bumps Lashley and they talk over who will start as the referee gets everything sorted.


MAIN EVENT – TAG TEAM BOUT
BOBBY LASHLEY & JOHN CENA vs. CHRIS JERICHO & THE BRIAN KENDRICK w/Ezekiel Jackson & R-Truth

This was a very solid main event, which allowed Brian Kendrick some huge exposure, teaming with Jericho against the likes of Cena and Lashley. At points in the match, we cut backstage to see Team Teddy watching on, studying two of their opponents. Every time that the faces seemed to be gaining some momentum, Jackson and Truth got involved, but at one point the referee caught and send them to the back. It was an even match from this point, but the two heels used some dirty tactics to isolate Lashley from Cena. They worked him over, until he got the hot tag to John, as Jericho got the tag to Kendrick. Cena got the better of Brian, and seemed to be putting him away for the win, setting up for the Attitude Adjustment, but as he had Kendrick on his shoulders, he turned around... RIGHT INTO A SPEAR... FROM BOBBY LASHLEY!? THE CROWD ARE SHOCKED AS KENDRICK HOOKS THE LEG!
WINNERS – CHRIS JERICHO & THE BRIAN KENDRICK @ 13.37

WHAT?! THE CROWD ARE STUNNED AS BOBBY F’N LASHLEY STANDS OVER THE LIMP BODY OF JOHN CENA!! Kendrick is pretty stunned too as he slides out of the ring and joins Jericho, backing up the ramp. The crowd boo extremely loudly as Lashley stares down at Cena! J.R practically has a heart attack at ringside with selling how much of a shock this was, and begins to question if it was Lashley that was the attacker, with JBL oddly quiet.

Loud “you suck” chants come from the crowd which makes Lashley look up from the lifeless body of Cena and look around the arena. He turns back to Cena and suddenly PULLS HIM TO HIS FEET... AND LIFTS HIM UP... HE PLANTS HIM WITH THE DOMINATOR!! More heat from the crowd as Lashley looks down at Cena with an intensity we’ve never seen before. With no words from him, he backs away and exits the ring, as the camera zooms in on John Cena’s body as we fade... to... black.

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

I need to get back in to the swing of things in terms of religiously following this thread, but whilst I can be arsed to type, I'd just like to say this:

One of my main problems as a booker, and I have a lot of them, is that I always want to bring too many people in to my threads too quickly. It's all well and good going "Fuck Realism" blah blah blah, but when you've got all of these plans for all of these new additions to the roster, you take a step back and you realise that it's all just too much too soon, it is extremely demotivating and I can imagine that it will be somewhat offputting to (some of) the readers. However, you have done it magnificently. You've debuted a hell of a lot of new talent, as well as given roles to, at the time, irrelevant talent, and it genuinely doesn't seem too much too soon. Just on Raw, you've debuted TJ, Sheamus, three members of The Monarchy and this Rock Band schtick you're soon to debut, on top of pushing a new generation of people, so to speak, in the likes of The Miz, Swagger and Punk, and that's just on Raw! On Smackdown, their has been less debutants (Kaval, Danielson, Lashley returning...) but you've given prominent roles to talent who may as well have just debuted, such as Ziggler, Hawkins, Ryder and Knox. It all feels so fresh and so exciting without seeming over the top and/or overwhelming, it really is a testament to how well this thing has been booked and written and is inspiring and somewhat motivational to someone like me, who always falls in to the trap of bringing in too many people, attempting too much and as a result, becoming demotivated and losing any passion for the project.

I know this isn't exactly "feedback" or "constructive", but I just wanted to let you know how I felt. I'll get in to a bit more detail over the next few weeks and the next few shows, and dish out some constructive criticism and advice wherever I can.

Keep it up, man. You've got a really good thing going on here and the sky is the limit for you and this project.
 
#158 · (Edited)
Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Cheers, Flux. Aside from the Rock Band group (who won't debut for a while), I do have one other debut planned for the coming weeks, which will probably be the final debut for the year. I feel that the person that is about to debut has a place in the thread, so hopefully it's not too much.

Vengeance is done, but it probably won't be up until I finish the next Raw, which could take a while.

Pretty solid card you have here. I'm really not too sure on most of these predictions except maybe the main event, but I do know that this is gonna be a solid show. I will say that Raw's been pretty diverse. What I mean by that is that for the go-home show, I think that you did a good job giving each match some time, giving those matches an important feel. But of course, you had to drive it home with the WWE Title picture and I enjoyed the ending of it. This is already your 4th PPV I believe and that's quite an accomplishment man, awesome job! I'll be looking forward to reading Vengeance (Y)

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Vengeance Review

I think starting off with Beth Phoenix and Melina's match first was the right call because it really set the tone for the evening which I loved but what I loved most about this match was that for a divas match it was pretty brutal in the sense that it was physical but at the same time Beth really beat the hell out of Melina but at the same time Melina beat Beth pretty bad and an Extreme Rules Match to boot for the divas, something never been done before in the WWE something that will probably never be done again and the spots too in this match were like OMG! in the sense that I never could actually picture it, you surprised me here

SummerSlam which is the next PPV, I can't wait because I wonder what match will be the main event that closes out the pay per view? But nevertheless by SummerSlam could we have a new WWE Champion? It's possible

The Monarchy, it seems that they are all business tonight except Barrett and if anything I never thought that I would say this but from the looks of it, it looks like Barrett is seemingly becoming a patsy in the sense that he is just in the stable to be there, to make up the numbers and Barrett I feel deserves way better than that and not to mention Barrett is a proven leader, he is a born leader and he shouldn't have to be reduced to being a bodyguard in other words a flunky and I hope this is the start of Barrett perhaps turning on The Monarchy and breaking out on his own

But it seems The Monarchy could each lose their titles tonight, Regal could lose his IC Title and McIntyre & McGuiness could lose their World Tag Team Championships

MVP and Mr. Kennedy becoming the new World Tag Team Champions, I definitely was not expecting that, I definitely was expecting them to lose this match because of the fact that they haven't not only been a team for that long but also because of the fact that their personalities are more or less the same which could be a bad thing but at the same time I guess it looks like they proved me wrong but nevertheless it was a great match because of the fact that you played up the underdog factor with their team but I wonder what will become of McIntyre and McGuiness now that they are no longer the World Tag Team Champions?

Batista backstage, I wonder if tonight will be his night not only to get vengeance for his friend Rey but also I wonder if he will become WWE Champion in the process ending Orton's reign of terror on RAW ending Orton's reign on top?

Punk getting into a brawl with Swagger before their match even starts, backstage brawl, I love it but at the same time the action spilling into the arena and then the match starting after that, that is what I love because their rivalry has seemingly become the rivalry on RAW but at the same time one way or another this rivalry needs to end because at the same time even though I enjoy it, I feel that it has ran its course in the sense that it is one of those rivalries that has dragged on for far too long in my opinion but at the same time the match ending with Punk winning is the right call because Punk should be at the point where he should even be main-eventing and here is hoping Punk cashes in his Money in the Bank briefcase tonight on either Orton or on Batista, but seeing Swagger tap out to the Anaconda Vice just puts icing on the cake because Swagger for a submission specialist he sure tapped out in a hurry HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

WrestleMania 26 promo, counting down the months, we are 9 more months away until the big show, until the showcase of the immortals and I for one can't wait to see what you have planned

Seeing The Miz with his new bodyguard Tomko, it reminds me a lot like Shawn Michaels and Diesel with The Miz being the Shawn Michaels of the team and Tomko being the Diesel Kevin Nash of the team which is a great thing because Miz is definitely mirroring his career after Shawn, Miz wants to be Shawn Michaels whether he wants to admit it or not

Regal retaining his WWE Intercontinental Championship, I knew it, Regal was a man of his word he said that he was going to walk out still the champion and he did despite the odds being stacked against him considering he had to defend his title against Sheamus and against Perkins and Regal escaping with the victory more like he stole it, I liked it a lot because Regal took the coward's way out in order to retain his title and it worked like a charm but at the same time Perkins was close again but not close enough but I wonder what he's going to do now? Could a heel turn happen for Perkins out of just frustration? And how about Sheamus, I wonder what will happen to him now?

Perkins' backstage interview, I loved it but I wonder if you are playing up the underdog angle with him? Because if you are then I can actually see it working

Shawn Michaels vs The Miz, probably one of the best 2 out of 3 Falls Matches that I think that I have seen in recent memory but what I didn't like about it was that it was too short but at the same time for the most part I really liked it not just because of the end result with Michaels winning 2-1 in falls but what I liked the most about it was the post-match attack right after the match with Miz and Tomko brutalizing Michaels to the point where he was put through a table, I wonder if Miz will move on now that their feud is practically over? Or more importantly I wonder what Shawn Michaels will do next?

Orton is definitely confident tonight, I could see why, I mean he is the WWE Champion and tonight he doesn't have to beat Batista but more importantly Batista has to beat him because if Orton gets counted out or even disqualified yes sure he will lose the match but at the end of the day he will still be champion because of the fact that the title can't change hands on a DQ or on a count-out but what Orton needs to be worried about is CM Punk because Punk could still decide to cash in his briefcase

Maryse retains her WWE Undisputed Women's Champion against not 1, not 2, but 3 other divas 3 of the best divas in the division other than Beth, with Maryse defending her title against Mickie James, Gail Kim and Michelle McCool and then winning on top of it, it just goes to show you that no one no one can beat Maryse for her title except maybe Beth Phoenix, that is why I hope Beth is the one who challenges her for that title, but at the same time this match was more or less a washroom break match for me anyway not that it wasn't good, it was but I don't know I guess I found it boring

And the main event, Orton is still the WWE Champion, still, Batista had this match won but yet again The Viper slithers his way to another victory getting lucky yet again but at the same time I wonder who in the hell is this man? And why did he cost Batista the WWE Championship? And why did this mystery man help Orton to retain his WWE Championship? I admit this was a great twist definitely one that I definitely did not see coming that's for sure but at the same time this match was great all the way throughout, the spots themselves were great, this match was so back and forth but even better was that Rhodes and DiBiase are just as shocked as everyone else is unless this was Orton's game plan the whole time?

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

^ Thanks a lot for the feedback, much appreciated.

Anyway, here's the prediction contests result. Raw is nearly done, so it should be posted either tomorrow or the next day.

Prediction Results:
Jam – 6
Flux – 7
Mox – 7
CNew – 9
Terry G – 6
Gambit – 8
Cult – 6

News and Notes​
~ A couple of Raw Superstars suffered minor injuries last night, including Nigel McGuiness, Jack Swagger and WWE Diva, Melina. Swagger and Melina are expected to be off TV for a couple of weeks to recuperate whilst McGuiness will continue to appear on TV, but his ring time will be limited.

~ Trish Stratus will be making her long awaited appearance on Raw tonight, after negotiating a deal a few weeks ago to make an appearance at SummerSlam. It's anyone's guess as to what she will be doing but rumours are that it will be one more match at what's been billed as the biggest SummerSlam ever.

~ Originally, the finish to Vengeance was meant to be CM Punk cashing in on The Animal, Batista, kick starting a rivalry between the two, whilst Randy Orton deals with either a returning Triple H or a returning Undertaker. However, both are not fit for television just yet, so the choice was made to keep the belt on Orton and introduce a new member into Legacy, who will have a feud with Batista.

~ Officials were pleased with the Divas Extreme Rules match last night at Vengeance, with many praising the two for their bravery and skill in the ring. Despite Melina suffering an injury, Beth Phoenix is scheduled for a push back to the Women's Title, which will be interesting with the heel/heel dynamic with Maryse. Some are speculating that Trish Stratus will be involved in this.


Monday Night Raw | 5 Point Preview
~ The mystery of the 4th member of Legacy to be solved. ~
~ Trish Stratus will make her return to Raw. ~
~ The new World Tag Team Champions will be in action against The Colons. ~
~ The Miz will be in action against one half of Cryme Tyme, JTG. ~
~ Maryse will make her Championship address. ~

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

There's a 4th member of Legacy, whoever the 4th member is, I hope he ends up being the group's enforcer, their muscle but which 2nd generation or 3rd generation superstar could fit that mold of being Legacy's muscle

Well Legacy having 4 members, I see you are building up Legacy nicely, the way they should have always been built up, as a super-group like Evolution back in the day

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

WWE Monday Night Raw – 27th July 2009



Kicking off the show tonight is a video package highlighting what happened yesterday at the WWE Vengeance Pay-Per-View. It begins by showing us what Beth Phoenix managed to do to Melina, defeating her with a Glam Slam after she fell through a wooden table. Moving on, we see CM Punk finally get rid of the annoyance that was Jack Swagger, by defeating him soundly with the Anaconda Vice. In the Intercontinental Title match, we see both TJ Perkins and Sheamus come extremely close to holding the gold, but at the very last moment it’s snatched away by William Regal. And finally, we see Batista get screwed out of the WWE Championship by an unknown man, that seemed to be working with Randy Orton and The Legacy.

As per usual, we now get the regular opening video package, before we swing into the arena to see the jumping fans. The commentators welcome us to the show and run down the card for tonight.

***VOICES***

The first man out to the sea of fans tonight is none other, than the WWE Champion, Randy Orton who has his Legacy team mates by his side, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase. All three are wearing Legacy t-shirts and they ignore the tremendous heat they are getting as they walk down the ramp, they climb in and pose in the centre of the ring. Orton then grabs a microphone from ringside and waits for the crowd to die down.


Randy Orton:
Last night-

The Viper is immediately interrupted by a loud chant, consisting of “YOU SUCK”, making him stop and shake his head, as Rhodes and DiBiase shout at the crowd to shut up – eventually it dies down.

Randy Orton:
Are you done?

This just serves to egg on the crowd, who respond with another batch of heat.

Randy Orton:
Last night, Batista found out just why I am the most dangerous Superstar... in the entire W-W-E. He found out... just why I am the W-W-E Champion.

The Viper raises the WWE Championship above his head, surveying the front two rows before making his back to the centre of the ring.

Randy Orton:
I pinned Batista last night, and proved that I was the Superstar in Evolution... not The Animal. When I attacked, and injured... Rey Mysterio, I knew it would get under the skin of Batista. And last night... when I was dissecting his knee – I saw pain and fear in his eyes... and I loved it.

A sick grin comes across the face of Orton, and the fans respond with another round of heat.

Randy Orton:
Batista failed to win the WWE Championship, but I’m not sure why you people were surprised... we certainly were not. In our eyes... it was a foregone conclusion. I’ve put so many top Superstars out of action that Batista should be thankful I didn’t do the same to him. He should be thanking me, that I didn’t PUNT him the skull.

Orton glances at Rhodes and DiBiase who say “That’s right” as the crowd boo the trio.

Randy Orton:
But, I do have someone to thank for last night.

Orton turns to the stage, as do Cody and Ted.

Randy Orton:
This man is very similar to us. He is a man that was born into greatness... was born to be a WWE Superstar. And, he is the newest member of a very select group, a group based on linage... a group based on legacy... introducing the newest member of Legacy...

Orton pauses for a couple of seconds before he introduces him.

Randy Orton:
Alberto... Del... Rio.

***REALEZA***​

Despite just being introduced to him, the crowd respond with a barrage of heat, due to the actions that transpired last night, and ALBERTO DEL RIO, dressed in black trunks and a Legacy t-shirt (matching the ones in the ring) walks down the ramp, pointing at the three men in the ring with glee on his face. Del Rio jogs up the steel steps and steps into the ring, grabbing a microphone and standing next to the WWE Champion, shaking his hand before turning to the crowd.

Alberto Del Rio:
Mi nombre es Alberto Del Río!

The crowd immediately respond with a loud batch of heat.

Alberto Del Rio:
And in case you did not understand dis... my name... dis Alberto Del Rio!

Del Rio extends his hands to the side, outwards, drawing attention to his face which as a gleaming, cocky grin on it.

Alberto Del Rio:
And I am... de fourth and FINAL member of dis group. I am de final member of Legacy.

Rhodes and DiBiase both briefly clap as Orton nods his head.

Alberto Del Rio:
And why dis Alberto Del Rio a member of Legacy? Y’see, like dese fine gentlemen, like Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase... I was born into greatness.

A lot of heat greets that statement as the other three members nod, with Orton glancing at his championship.

Alberto Del Rio:
I was born into a linage... a legacy. Y yo estoy destinado para el éxito ... DESTINADO A LA CIMA DE ESTA EMPRESA!

Del Rio says with a massive grin on his face.

Alberto Del Rio:
My father was a World Champion... and dis known as de single greatest heavyweight to come out of Meh-he-co. And Alberto Del Rio will continue that success by becoming not just de greatest heavyweight to come out of Meh-he-co... Alberto Del Rio will become the single greatest wrestler to come out of Meh-he-co!

Loud heat. Del Rio shows his arrogance by soaking it in and even asking more in Spanish.

Alberto Del Rio:
Viva Meh-he-co... VIVA DEL RIO!

Del Rio pulls the microphone away from his mouth and raises his free hand, before lowering it and shaking Randy Orton’s hand again, Orton then gets on the microphone again.

Randy Orton:
Now that Legacy is complete... we are without a shadow of a doubt, the single greatest group in the history of the W-W-E. A group that has greatness in our blood... and it’s that reason that no in that locker room... and no one sitting at home... can stop us.

The camera closes in on the face of Orton, looking into his eyes before...

***I WALK ALONE***

The arena comes unglued as a few second pass by, all eyes in the ring turn to the stage where The Animal, BATISTA walks onto the stage! He’s dressed in a black leather jacket with a black tight undershirt underneath, he pulls the shades off his face and tosses them to one side. The camera cuts to the ring where all four members of Legacy are lined up, attempting to intimidate Batista. We cut back to the stage and see he has a microphone.

Batista:
Congratulations, Orton. Once again, you successfully defended your WWE Championship... congratulations for successfully stealing a victory once again.

The crowd pop, but Orton says he won the title fairly.

Batista:
At Vengeance-

The Animal’s interrupted by a loud “BA-TIS-TA” chant.

Batista:
Orton, you know I had that match won last night. I had you DOWN for the three count... and had the referee not been knocked out, I’d be holding that W-W-E Title. I’d be the WWE Championship, I should be the WWE Champion... and deep down inside you know it too.

Loud pop, as The Viper shakes his head.

Batista:
Without Cody Rhodes... without Ted DiBiase... and without... what was it? Alberto Del Rio?

Del Rio responds off mic with a yes in Spanish.

Batista:
Without those three... you wouldn’t be WWE Champion, and you know that I’d have became WWE Champion. And-

Randy Orton:
Batista, Batista, Batista, here is an idea for you, instead of coming out and complaining, why don’t you accept reality, accept that I was the better man... and take your loss like a man.

Heat from the crowd.

Randy Orton:
Last night proved that I am the better man, Dave. It proved that Randy Orton was the greatest thing to come out of Evolution. So, turn around, accept your loss because to me, it’s quite pathetic how you are interrupting us to complain-

Batista:
Woah, hold on a second. I’m not out here to complain, Randy... I’M OUT HERE FOR A FIGHT!

Massive pop from the crowd.

Alberto Del Rio:
Amigo, if I were you, I’d rethink that and turn around, but if you are as stubborn as I am led to believe... then come on down and face us four on one.

Orton glances at Del Rio but then agrees with him, backing his group up a step, allowing Batista half the ring to climb in to, but The Animal doesn’t make a move.

Batista:
I can count. Four on one isn’t the best odds... which is why I brought a friend.

Batista drops the microphone to the stage, and reaches behind his body, PULLING OUT A SLEDGE HAMMER that was wedged between his body and his jeans! Orton’s eyes widen at the sight of that infamous weapon, the weapon he used against Triple H, and then it’s all go as Batista STARTS SPRINTING DOWN THE RAMP!!

He slides into the ring, and swings for Orton’s head but The Viper ducks and rolls out of the ring! DiBiase and Del Rio try to grab Batista from behind, but he catches them with a shot to the stomach each, before catching Rhodes with one to the stomach AND THEN TO THE BACK!

Del Rio and DiBiase quickly slide out of the ring, joining Orton half way up the ramp as Batista screams at them to get back into the ring.


***THE GREAT GATE OF KIEV***

DiBiase and Del Rio turn to the stage, but Orton and Batista keep their eyes locked on each other, as Jerry Lawler makes his way onto the ramp! The General Manager has a microphone in his hand and acknowledges the pop he got with a wave of the hand before getting down to business.

Jerry Lawler:
Guys, what I saw last night was a travesty. A great match ruined by outside interference.

Orton starts to turn around to face Lawler.

Jerry Lawler:
And it still seems like there is unfinished business between you two... and since the WWE Championship match last night ended in shady circumstances... we will have ANOTHER WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... RIGHT HERE TONIGHT!

Huge pop from the crowd at the big announcement.

Jerry Lawler:
It will be... the WWE Champion Randy Orton... defending against... The Animal, BATISTA!

Batista grins at Orton who looks extremely pissed off.

Jerry Lawler:
But that’s not all, because of the interference last night, I’m adding a stipulation to this match... the remaining members of Legacy will be BANNED FROM RINGSIDE!

Orton immediately turns on his heels, yelling at Lawler as the fans around him begin cheering relentlessly. In the ring though, all eyes turn to it as Rhodes finally gets up from those two sledge hammer shots, but he stumbles right into the back of The Animal.. who turns around and PICKS HIM UP... SLAMMING HIM DOWN WITH A BATISTA BOMB!

The Animal stands above Rhodes, looking at Orton, Del Rio and DiBiase, as the commentators begin to hype up the main event before we head to a commercial.


COMMERCIALS​

***COOL***

The first in-ring action of the night is of the tag team variety, and The Colons are the first team out, getting a small pop from the crowd. Carlito and Primo walk down the ramp, Primo taking the time to interact with the fans, but ‘Lito simply walks, tossing his apple up into the air and catching it on the way down.

***I’M COMIN***

And there opponents, the NEW World Tag Team Champions, MVP and Mr. Kennedy walk down the ramp, dressed in matching blue ring gear, with the championships around their waists. They climb into the ring and hand their belts to the referee, who gives to the timekeeper and then retreat into their corners.


MATCH ONE – TAG TEAM CONTEST
MVP & Mr. Kennedy vs. The Colons

A well worked match between two of the top tag teams on Raw, which served to cement Kennedy and Porter as World Tag Team Champions, and also played into the storyline of Carlito’s recent slight change in attitude as the camera would catch him sighing and shaking his head every time Primo was the victim of a hard hitting move. In the end, it was MVP hitting Primo with the Drive-By Kick, picking up the victory.

WINNERS – MVP & MR. KENNEDY @ 6.02

The World Tag Team Champions are successful in their first match since winning the championship belts, defeating The Colons, with MVP pinning Primo! Kennedy grabs the Tag Team Titles from ringside and climbs into the ring, handing one too Porter and the duo raising their hands in the air, whilst Carlito watches on from a seated position, shaking his head with a defeated expression. Porter and Kennedy are about to leave the ring when...

***SURVIVAL OF THE SICKEST***

There’s a loud reaction consisting of heat as the former World Tag Team Champions, Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness make their way onto the stage. They both have microphones in their hands and are dressed in a couple of suits, and in the ring the champions hold their titles up as the former champions stop on the stage with microphones.


Nigel McGuiness:
Congratulations, lads. (looking out to the crowd) C’mon, a round of applause for the new World Tag Team Champions.

The crowd start cheering, but the two men in the ring are pessimistic over the obvious fake nature of what Nigel is saying.

Drew McIntyre:
Congratulations on pulling off the impossible. You two are now the World Tag Team Champions, but you won’t be for long.

“Oh yeah?” answers Porter.

Drew McIntyre:
Aye, really. Your days are numbered as champions... because Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness will be regaining their World Tag Team Titles. Because, our contract states that we have a rematch clause... and we’re cashing that in... at SummerSlam.

MVP and Kennedy nod at the two on the ramp, taking this announcement pretty well.

Nigel McGuiness:
And you’re probably wondering, why SummerSlam? Why not tonight? It’s pretty simple actually, y’see good things come to those that wait... and we have no issue waiting a few more weeks to regain those titles.

McIntyre looks at McGuiness and nods at him.

Drew McIntyre:
Make sure you saviour every second you have with our titles... because in a month’s time, The Monarchy will once again be the World Tag Team Champions.

Drew and Nigel then drop the microphones from their mouths and hold them at their sides as they back away, looking down at the ring where the champions hold up their titles. The commentators put over the match that’s just been made for SummerSlam, before then talking about the main event tonight in which Batista will take on Randy Orton in a WWE Championship match.

They then send it backstage where Renee Young is waiting.

Renee Young:
Please welcome... TJ Perkins.

A strong pop comes from the arena as the popular TJ Perkins walks into the shot, with a black eye.

Renee Young:
Firstly, TJ, I want to tell you how sorry I am about what happened last night. I know it’s your dream to be a Intercontinental Champion one day and I’m sure you’ll get another chance in the future.

TJ Perkins:
Thank you for that. But, hey, you’re right, my dream is to become Intercontinental Champion... but I’m only young y’know? I’m only twenty five, I’ve got a long career ahead of me, and I’m sure last night won’t be the last time William Regal and I face off for the championship.

Renee nods.

TJ Perkins:
Renee, I remember as a kid, sitting down and watchin’ wrestlin’ with my family, and sayin’ to them... “I’ll be a champion one day” I remember watchin’ legends like The British Bulldog and Bret Hart pour their souls into challenging’ for that title.

Big pop from the crowd.

TJ Perkins:
I always wanted to follow in their footsteps, Renee. And whilst I didn’t win last night, one day I will become Intercontinental Champion, and hopefully after comin’ so close last night... it won’t be long.

Perkins grins as the crowd cheer, but then the grin evaporates from his face as the camera pans out and we see Sheamus standing across from him.

Sheamus:
Fella, if anyone should be gettin’ a shot... ‘t should be me.

Renee glances at TJ.

TJ Perkins:
Well, fella, some might say if it wasn’t for you pullin’ me out of that ring last night... I would be Intercontinental Champion right now.

Sheamus laughs a bit, and then squints.

Sheamus:
Is that where you got that shiner from?

Perkins shakes his head as Renee looks at the black eye.

TJ Perkins:
That’s funny to you is it?

Sheamus nods, and the two have a stare off that looks like it might get out of hand until the Raw General Manager walks into the shot, Jerry Lawler.

Jerry Lawler:
Guy’s, I was actually just on my way to find both of you, so this works out great. (turning to Renee) Renee, thank you for the wonderful work, but I’ll take it from here.

Renee swivels on her heels and walks out of shot, leaving Lawler to stand in between Perkins and Sheamus.

Jerry Lawler:
Last night, hell of a match. And I think you both have earned another shot at Regal’s title.

Perkins and Sheamus stop looking at each other and turn to Lawler.

Jerry Lawler:
Y’see, William Regal needs an opponent for SummerSlam... but it will be a single match. Two of you, only one spot, so next week, live on Raw it will be Sheamus versus TJ Perkins in a number one contenders match.

Big pop from the crowd as Perkins and Sheamus turn to each other once again.

Jerry Lawler:
But that’s not all, because tonight... both of you will be in action, teaming up to face Wade Barrett and the Intercontinental Champion. Good luck, fellas.

The General Manager walks out of the shot, leaving Perkins and Sheamus to look at each other as we cut to a commercial.

TRISH STRATUS V.P



RETURNS TONIGHT

***

We head backstage where the WWE Champion, Randy Orton is walking down a hallway with the title on his shoulder. He stops walking and appears to be looking at someone off camera.

Randy Orton:
You got something you wanna’ say to me?

A few seconds pass by before the Money in the Bank holder, CM Punk walks into the frame, grinning at the WWE Champion.

CM Punk:
Now that you ask, yeah I do. (holds the briefcase up) Simply to tell you, Randy... I hold your future in my hands.

The Viper glances at the briefcase, and laughs a little.

Randy Orton:
You think that case gives you power over me?

CM Punk:
I don’t just think... I know. I can cash this in, any time I want to, and end your title reign.

Orton shakes his head.

Randy Orton:
You cash that in on me, and I’ll make sure that it’s the very last thing you do.

Orton gets in the face of Punk.

Randy Orton:
Here’s a bit of advice, take that case... and go to SmackDown, and stay out of my way. Because if you don’t, and you do cash that in on me, then I’ll have no problem punting you in the skull... again.

Punk’s demeanour just shifted.

Randy Orton:
Face it, Punk. You aren’t cut out to be champion, you proved that last time when you held the World Heavyweight Title... and I punted you in the skull and took it away from you. Someone like you, someone that looks and acts like you... cannot be WWE Champion.

Boos from the crowd as Punk begins to clench his jaw.

Randy Orton:
Last time you won, it was a fluke, the only reason you won was because of that case. And your lacklustre title reign proved it. Face it, anyone that cashes that in, that takes advantage of a champion that’s down is no champion. You see, Punk, I didn’t need shortcuts to become WWE Champion, I was born to be, and you... you were born to have no goal, no purpose and no success.

More boos from the crowd as Punk’s eyes flare with anger.

Randy Orton:
So don’t even think about cashing that in, because if you do then the nearest hospital better prepare a bed.

Orton takes a moment to let that sink in before turning around and leaving the Money in the Bank holder deep in thought.

We head into the arena, where the commentators briefly talk about that intense segment.

***BRINGING THE HOOD T U***

A nice pop greets the arrival of JTG onto the stage; he’s dressed in his usual ring gear, with Shad beside him. JTG walks down the ramp, showing off his bling to the camera and slides into the ring and waits for his opponent.

***CAME TO PLAY***

Heat rises from the crowd and towards the stage as The Miz, and his enforcer, Tyson Tomko make their way onto the steel. Miz is dressed in his usual trench coat and red ring attire, whilst Tomko’s simply wearing black jeans and a black vest. We notice that The Miz has a microphone and starts talking on his way down the ramp.


The Miz:
Ladies and gentleman, last night I did not beat Shawn Michaels.

Big pop as Miz reaches the halfway mark on the ramp.

The Miz:
But... I did defeat him. I did somethin’ that nobody else has done... I put Shawn Michaels down. I brutally assaulted Shawn Michaels... like no one else before me! Tyson Tomko and I decimated little ol’ Aitch Bee Kay... putting him through that announce table!

They’ve now reached the bottom of the ramp, and the crowd are booing them as JTG simply watches them from the ring.

The Miz:
We announced to the world last night... The Miz is here to stay!

Heat. Miz starts walking up the steel steps as Tomko makes his way around the ring and stands by the apron.

The Miz:
The Miz will now be a focal point of Raw. Shawn Michaels is on his way out, when are you gonna’ call it a day Shawn? Your body, Shawn, isn’t what it used to be... and frankly your mind isn’t far behind.

Loud heat from the crowd as JTG shakes his head in the corner. The Miz steps into the ring, and tells the referee to make sure J’ stays back.

The Miz:
Shawn’s time... is runnin’ out, but my time is just beginning. I am a future WWE Champion... a future W-W-E Hall of Famer... and after everything people put me down for, that’s pretty damn awesome.

More heat.

The Miz:
I want you all to watch what I do to my opponent, because you will see a lot more of it in the coming weeks... because I’m The Miz... and I’m awesome!

The Miz twirls the microphone in his hand before giving it to the referee and taking his trench coat off and retreating to his corner.

MATCH TWO: SINGLES CONTEST
JTG vs. The Miz

Coming off a loss last night, The Miz went to work, putting a beating on JTG, but to J’s credit he fought back, getting a foothold in the match and even getting a couple of near falls. The crowd were behind him, but their hopefulness ended when The Miz countered a high cross body into a power slam, and then quickly picking JTG up and going for Skull Crushing Finale, he hits it but is immediately blindsided by Shawn Michaels!

WINNER: THE MIZ VIA DQ @ 5.13

The referee rings for the bell immediately as The Miz desperately tries to cover up from the closed right fists of Shawn Michaels!! But, Michaels is yanked off Miz by Tomko! Michaels is pulled to his feet, but he breaks Tomko’s arms away and hits him with a right fist, before clotheslining him over the top rope! HBK turns back around and ducks a wild punch from The Miz, who hits the ropes and tries again, only for Michaels to get him with a double leg takedown!

Again, HBK climbs on top and lays on some ground and pound! The Miz desperately tries to cover up, but the blows seem to be getting through his defences! The Awesome One reaches out with one hand and grabs the nearest rope, pulling himself out from underneath Michaels and sliding out of the ring. The Miz doesn’t get a chance to recover as Michaels dives over the top rope... with a springboard plancha!!


Michaels gets up, all fired up, getting the crowd involved but then spots Tomko running around the ring... and smashes him with Sweet Chin Music!! Tomko hits the deck, but Miz has managed to get himself up the ramp, away from HBK who turns to see him running away. The Miz looks on from the stage as Tomko is pulled to his feet and then pulled around the ring and HBK smashes his head off the announce table!

HBK points at The Miz before turning and pulling the top of the table off!! Lots of cheers as Miz’ eyes widen, Tomko is placed on top of the table, and Michaels slides back into the ring. He says something to Miz from the ring and then climbs on top of the turnbuckle! He takes a deep breath before diving from the top and taking Tomko through the table with an diving elbow drop!! It’s chaos as parts of the table are slung everywhere, Tomko’s in a heap and Michaels is crawling out of the wreckage.


The cameras take a minute to focus on Miz’ wide eyes, and then we cut back to Michaels who is on his knees in the corner of the barricade. He holds his elbow as the fans around him pat him on the shoulder, he looks up at The Miz, sending a clear message tonight.

We get a couple of replays of the wreckage, before the commentators send us backstage to where Renee Young is waiting with a microphone and a beaming smile on her face.


Renee Young:
My guest at this time, the Intercontinental Champion, William Regal.

The camera pans out and we see William Regal staring off into the distance.

Renee Young:
And I wanted-

Regal holds his hand up, stopping Renee from continuing.

William Regal:
I watched your little interview earlier, my dear. And I noticed how eager you were to give your sympathies to young TJ. I have a question for you, if you don’t mind, did you not want me to retain my Intercontinental Championship?

Regal studies the face of Renee.

Renee Young:
Uh-

William Regal:
A little piece of advice for your journalism career... try to be unbiased, it will help in the long run. A little more professionalism wouldn’t go a miss, now would it? Now, continue.

The attitude of the Intercontinental Champion has obviously got under Renee’s skin, but she keeps true to her job and continues with the interview.

Renee Young:
Well, I wanted to know your thoughts on last night’s victory and on the tag team match later on tonight.

Regal stares at Renee, unmoving.

William Regal:
What a silly little question.

Regal shakes his head at her.

William Regal:
Of course, I am thrilled over what happened last night. What happened last night, was the way it was meant to happen. Sheamus, one of the men I defeated last night, had just made his debut on Raw and already he was handed a title shot. Renee, Sheamus had no right to share the same ring as Sir William Regal.

Boos from the crowd.

William Regal:
And as for little TJ Perkins, you’re pretty fond of him aren’t you, it must have been heartbreaking for you to see him come so close to becoming champion, so close to realizing his dream.

Young rolls her eyes.

William Regal:
But, Renee, that’s all it is. A dream. TJ should understand by now, he cannot beat me... I’ve beat him more times than I care to count. However, apparently they are both getting another shot at my championship next week, it’s absolutely ludicrous. I beat them both, and yet they are in number one contenders bout next week. But, have no fear, Renee, after I get done with them tonight, there won’t be a number one contenders match.

A lot of heat from the crowd as the Intercontinental Champion pushes the microphone out of his face, adjusts his title belt and then walks out of the shot.

COMMERCIALS

We return to Raw and to ringside where the carnage from earlier is being dealt with and a new announce table is being set up for the commentators to work with.

***POURQOUI?***

Heat fills the arena as the confident Women’s Champion, Maryse walks out from the back, dressed in a cream tight dress with the title on her shoulder. She uses her free hand to quiet the crowd as she makes her way down the ramp, walking up the steel steps, grabbing the microphone and stepping into the ring. Before speaking, she walks over to the ropes and flips her hair down and then up, before showing off her belt by raising it up high for the world to see. Then, Maryse walks back to the centre of the ring and waits for the crowd to die down.


Maryse:
Last night, once again, I proved that I am ze top Diva, the premier Diva in this company. Also, I proved that I am not just a pretty face, oh no, I am ze best Women’s wrestler in the world.

Maryse lowers the microphone, allowing the fans to start booing her which she smiles at.

Maryse:
I have defeated everyone that has been put in front of me, defeated everyone that has gotten in my way and I didn’t even break a sweat. Last night... I defeated, not one, not two... I defeated three Divas... at once. I have proven, once and for all, I am ze best thing goin’ in this division, I have proven that everyone sucks compared to moi.

It’s obvious hyperbole, but that doesn’t stop the crowd booing the Women’s Champion.

Maryse:
I am ze Undisputed Women’s Champion.

Maryse lowers the microphone, but then raises her championship above her head, egging the crowd on into another batch of heat.

Maryse:
I am continuing the linage of this great championship. But, let’s face facts here... none of ze former champions can compare to me. None of them hold a candle to Maryse.

The (over)confidence is shining through now as Maryse raises her belt once more, and does a 360 turn, allowing the whole arena to see the title in all its glory.

Maryse:
When I joined zis company, I was a model who had little experience in zis ring. I’ve went from that... into the face of the Divas division. I’ve went from that... into the best Diva in zis ring. And finally, I am a future WWE Hall of Famer. I shouldn’t just be in the Hall of Fame, oh no, I should have a whole wing dedicated to moi.

This gets the crowd riled up as they rise to their feet and boo once again.

Maryse:
I am ze perfect Diva. The Diva that everyone should strive to emulate. I am an inspiration to everyone. I have ze looks, I have ze body...

She takes a moment to show off her body.

Maryse:
I have ze skills, but more importantly... I have ze title.

For the third time, Maryse holds the title belt up high in the air.

Maryse:
Now... you all have permission to worship me.

Maryse drops the microphone to her side, and walks around the ring, grinning as she shows off the belt on her shoulder...

***TIME TO ROCK & ROLL***

It’s the moment the crowd have been waiting for, and they make their voices heard as TRISH STRATUS appears on the stage!! Maryse looks disgusted in the ring as Stratus makes her way to both sides of the stage, soaking in the reception that she’s getting here tonight. She then sets eyes on Maryse in the ring, and makes her way down the ramp, dressed in a white vest top and light blue jeans. She climbs into the ring and walks past Maryse, brushing her shoulder as she does with a smile and grabs microphone before standing across from the current Women’s Champion.

Trish Stratus:
I-

Maryse:
(sticking an outstretched hand out) Whoa, whoa, whoa... hold on a second. You do realize you just interrupted ze’ Women’s Champion? Just who the hell do you think you are?

Maryse drops her hand and takes a step back, pointing at her title as Trish glances at it before recognising the fans have broke out into a “TRISH” chant.

Trish Stratus:
I think you know who I am, Maryse. These people sure as hell do.

The crowd respond with a big pop, and Maryse tells them to shut up but it clearly isn’t working.

Trish Stratus:
And damn, it feels good to be back in this ring!

Another big pop from the crowd in tonight.

Maryse:
Not for long... if you’re smart you’ll get out of my ring and-

A loud thud is heard as Trish smacks the microphone out of Maryse’s hand! The Women’s Champion looks shocked as the crowd cheer loudly!

Trish Stratus:
Umm, I think I’ll stay. Because, lemme tell ya’, I’ve got a lot to say. And I doubt these people want to listen to you butcher the English language for much longer.

This draws a hearty laugh from the crowd, and even Trish chuckles at her own joke but Maryse isn’t pleased, rolling her eyes and folding her arms over her chest.

Trish Stratus:
But, to be fair, it’s probably a good thing you’re out here, Maryse. Because everything I have to say, in some way or another... involves you.

The eyebrows of Maryse rise.

Trish Stratus:
It’s true. Y’see, for the past couple months, I’ve watched you run your mouth... over and over and over and over... and over.

Maryse tells her to get on with it.

Trish Stratus:
And it all started when you won that (pointing at Maryse’s shoulder) title belt. And ever since that moment, you’ve thought you are the greatest Diva of all time.

Stratus giggles a little, but Maryse remains stone faced, she truly believes she’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Trish Stratus:
And I think... some people here might disagree with that.

Stratus holds the microphone out to the crowd and we hear a rousing batch of heat, which evolves into a loud “YOU SUCK” chant, obviously directed at Maryse.

Trish Stratus:
Some people, might even, might even think that I am the greatest Diva.

Trish smiles as the fans rise up with a huge pop, she simply shrugs her shoulders as she looks at Maryse.

Trish Stratus:
But, let’s not forget Divas such as my dear friend and rival, Lita... and Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah.

Loud pop.

Trish Stratus:
Honestly, Maryse, you have got a long way to go before you are on their, our level.

Maryse’s expression suddenly changes, and she sticks her index finger up, and bites her pride down, walking over and picks up the microphone that was slapped out of her hand earlier. She hits it once to make sure it works before getting a little close for comfort to Trish.

Maryse:
Lita? Mae Young? Moolah? You? I am better than all of you. I am most certainly better than you. Why... why the hell are you even here? Did your yoga career fail?

Trish pushes her tongue against the bottom of her lip, and grins as the crowd respond with an “ohh”.

Trish Stratus:
No, actually, I’m doing quite well. But, hey, thanks for the concern. But y’see, Maryse, that’s not the reason I’m here, I’m here because SummerSlam is right around the corner... and I heard it’s a record four hours long!

Nice pop for that.

Trish Stratus:
Y’see, my old friend, Jerry Lawler contacted me a few weeks ago, and he wanted me to make an appearance. This is SummerSlam, so I couldn’t say no. But seeing the reaction of this crowd... and seeing the look on your face when I walked onto that stage... it’s me want more. It’s made me want a match.

Maryse shakes her head as the crowd roar with approval.

Trish Stratus:
The possibility of shuttin’ you up, once and for all, Maryse, has led me back to the WWE... congratulations. And hey, I may be a little rusty, but I would love nothing more to face you in this ring, shut that mouth of yours up... and smash that pretty little face of yours to pieces.

Trish says this with a grin on her face, but you can totally tell she’s serious as the crowd pop.

Trish Stratus:
So I’m laying down the challenge, right now, you and me... one on one at SummerSlam for that... Undisputed Women’s Championship.

Another huge pop as Trish places her finger on the gold plate of the belt, and Maryse takes a step back, shielding the belt from her. She takes a moment, looking like she’s thinking it over, until she rises the microphone up to her mouth and says with a smile...

Maryse:
No.

The heat rises from the crowd as Maryse brushes past Trish, shines up her title and with a final wink to her, she climbs out of the ring and begins walking up the ramp, with Trish nodding her head in the ring.

Trish Stratus:
Whoa, hold on, Maryse – this is your chance to prove to the whole world just how good you are. You beat me... you’ve beaten a former champion and a future Hall of Famer... you will have legitimized your entire career.

Maryse, having stopped on the ramp, turns around and looks like she’s pondering things.

Maryse:
Don’t you realize who I am? I am Maryse. I have defeated every Diva put in front of me, I don’t need to defeat some washed up Diva to prove anything.

The champion turns again and begins walking but as she does, Stratus speaks up again.

Trish Stratus:
You’re gonna let this chance slip away from you? You can walk away if you want, but it’ll just prove to everyone how much of a little bitch... you really are.

“Ohh’s” ring around the arena as Maryse stops in her tracks and turns around.

Trish Stratus:
Either face me, or prove to everyone that you are nothing but talk... or the spineless coward that-

Maryse:
Shut up! You want a match against me? You want it, huh?! You want to ruin your legacy? Huh?! You’re on!

A large pop greets the acceptance as Maryse stares right at Trish who nods her head, happy that she’s successfully goaded Maryse into the match.

Maryse:
But, believe me when I say zis... you just made the biggest mistake of your life. At SummerSlam, I prove how overrated you are, and after I beat you... you can go back to ze retirement home where you belong.

Loud boos from the crowd as Stratus grins.

Trish Stratus:
... Looking forward to it.

***TIME TO ROCK & ROLL***

Trish’s music plays, drawing another loud cheer from the crowd, as the two Divas look at each other from the ring and stage. Maryse holds the Women’s Title up high above her head, as Trish climbs to the second rope and points one finger at the crowd while raising her hand in the air. Maryse continues to watch on as Trish plays to the crowd, and the commentators hype up the match before sending us to a commercial.

COMMERCIALS

Back on Raw and we’re backstage at the interview set where Renee Young is waiting for the third time tonight.

Renee Young:
Please welcome, the fourth and final member of Legacy... Alberto Del Rio.

Despite just debuting, the crowd give out a solid batch of heat as the camera pans out to reveal the confident figure of Alberto Del Rio.

Renee Young:
I wanted to ask you, if you could elaborate on the statement you made earlier... that you will become the greatest thing to come out of Mexico, and I wanted to ask you what is it about you... that makes you think you can achieve this?

Del Rio grins and flashes his pearly whites.

Alberto Del Rio:
It’s simple, Renee. I was born to be. I have de skills, I have de presence, I have de genetics... Renee, I was born to be.

Again, Del Rio flashes a smile.

Alberto Del Rio:
Renee, my Father was a very skill competitor... but I am better than my father ever was... even he will admit that.

Del Rio takes a pause, and his jovial attitude takes a turn as he thinks over his next thought.

Alberto Del Rio:
Some people say that, Rey Mysterio is the greatest Superstar to come out of Meh-he-co.

Big pop.

Alberto Del Rio:
Pero, eso es una mentira.

Since the crowd aren’t bi-lingual, the fans immediately boo what they don’t understand.

Alberto Del Rio:
Rey Mysterio is not on Alberto Del Rio’s level. No one is on Alberto Del Rio’s level. Like I said Renee, Meh-he-co finally have a hero they can look up to... and his name... is Alberto Del Rio.

Another flashy grin from Del Rio, before he walks out of the frame, leaving Renee to send it back to ringside.

***REGALITY***

A lot of heat now rises as the current Intercontinental Champion, William Regal and the enforcer of The Monarchy, Wade Barrett make their way down the ramp. Regal takes the more sophisticated route of the steel steps whilst Barrett simply climbs onto the apron and the two step into the ring and wait for their opponents.

***WRITTEN IN MY FACE***

Interestingly, Sheamus gets a mixed reaction, although it’s leaning towards cheers, obviously the crowd aren’t happy with him costing Perkins the Intercontinental Title despite it being a free for all. He continues on his ramp, slapping hands with a few fans before warily climbing into the ring, with Regal feigning an attack, to which the referee has to hold him back.

***STRONGER***

A large pop comes from the crowd as TJ Perkins jogs onto the stage, his hood up, covering his head. He stands on the stage, and then in time with the music, he whips his hood down and makes his way down the ramp. He slaps a couple of hands before jogging up the steel steps and leaping over the top rope and onto the second turnbuckle. He then drops down and discusses with Sheamus who will start this match.

MATCH THREE – SINGLES CONTEST
Sheamus & TJ Perkins vs. The Monarchy; William Regal & Wade Barrett

The second tag team match of the evening was a lot more eventful, and a lot more even as both teams got time to show what they could do in the ring. After a good five minutes of back and forth action, the heels would take control, working over Sheamus for a few minutes. But, Sheamus would show his guts and heart as he fought back into the contest, getting the hot tag to TJ who came into the match and took it to Wade Barrett. He set him up for the 450 Splash, and caught Regal on the apron with a kick to the head, before connecting with the Splash.

WINNERS – SHEAMUS & TJ PERKINS @ 12.04

The referee calls for the bell as TJ Perkins has just pinned Wade Barrett! He rises to his feet and fist pumps the air... but is attacked from behind by Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness!! With Regal down on the outside, McIntyre and McGuiness begin to stomp on TJ, and the cameras cut to Sheamus in the corner of the barricade, who tries to get up and help but he sinks right back down into a seated position, feeling the pain of the match!

Regal finally gets back in the ring and begins directing traffic, telling the former World Tag Team Champions to get him up on his feet. Barrett gets to his feet as well, and it helping the trio, but Sheamus still hasn’t moved, despite looking at it from ringside. But suddenly a buzz begins to circle the crowd and we see Mr. Kennedy and MVP sprinting down the ramp, sliding into the ring and swinging their title belts at Regal and McGuiness!!

The four members split, leaving the ring and leaving Porter and Kennedy to help Perkins up to his feet. They stop at the top of the ramp, and watch as Perkins tells Porter and Kennedy that he’s alright. Before we cut to the barricade, the camera focuses on Sheamus’ face, watching his opponent for next week, in the ring.


And, we’re backstage, where Jerry Lawler is on rummaging through some paper work at his desk, that is, until Beth Phoenix walks into the room, unannounced. He stops what he’s doing and walks around the desk to stand across from her.

Jerry Lawler:
What can I do for you, Beth?

Beth Phoenix:
Why don’t you explain to me... why Trish Stratus gets a shot at the Women’s Title at SummerSlam?

Lawler is about to respond but...

Beth Phoenix:
I have been the most dominant Diva on this brand over the past month, and I’ve proven why it should be me getting a shot at that title.

Lawler nods but seems to have an answer.

Jerry Lawler:
Despite the great match you and Melina had last night, you’ve faced Maryse before and you lost, Beth. And anyway, I’m sorry, but the match has already been signed, there’s nothing I can do.

Phoenix shakes her head and sighs heavily.

Jerry Lawler:
But, you continue what you’re doing, and after SummerSlam... you’ll be the first Diva to get a shot at that title, whoever the champion may be.

That still doesn’t seem to have pleased Phoenix.

Beth Phoenix:
Fine, but I’m not happy about it, Jerry. And by the way, between now and then... you should choose who you put in the ring with me very carefully, because in the mood I’m in, they won’t be walking out of the match without some broken bones.

Lawler raises his eyebrows as the fans boo. Phoenix swivels around and exits the room.

And we cut backstage, where The Animal, Batista is walking down a hall way! The crowd immediately pop, and it appears that he’s dressed to compete, but he’s stopped by Raw’s Interviewer, Renee Young.

Renee Young:
Batista, I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind giving a quick statement before heading out for your match?

Batista pauses for a moment before speaking.

Batista:
Randy Orton... will regret screwing me out of the WWE Championship.

It’s short and sweet from The Animal as he continues on his path, with the commentators hyping up the WWE Championship match that is next.

In the ring, Lillian Garcia announces that the upcoming match will be for the WWE Championship.

***I WALK ALONE***

And a huge pop greets the image of Batista walking onto the stage, walking to both sides of the stage before walking back to the centre and playing to the crowd, setting off his pyro in the process. The Animal then walks down the ramp, and makes his way towards the steel steps, and slaps one fans hand as he turns and jumps on the spot, and then jogs up the steps. He steps into the ring, and ascends the turnbuckle, flexing in front of the camera.


***VOICES***

The arena turns a dark shade of orange, as the fans rise to their feet once again, but this time with a lot of heat, and after a couple of seconds, the WWE Champion, Randy Orton slowly walks onto the stage. He surveys the arena and then focuses on the ring, and begins to walk down the ramp towards the ring. He finally reaches the ring and climbs into it, ascending the turnbuckle and raising the WWE Title above his head.


MAIN EVENT – WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
Randy Orton © vs. Batista

In the rematch from last night, these two had a little less time, but that didn’t stop them putting on a good and believable match. It was a back and forth contest until the half way mark, when Orton would target the knee that he targeted at Vengeance. He would continue to inflict pain on Batista, getting a few near falls, before going for an RKO, only to be countered into a Spinebuster. The Animal got a near fall and started to get a foothold, eventually setting up for the Batista Bomb... but Orton managed to counter it and hit an RKO from out of nowhere.

WINNER AND STILL WWE CHAMPION – RANDY ORTON @ 13.29

He’s done it! It wasn’t without difficulty, but Randy Orton has retained his WWE Championship! He slowly rolls off The Animal and props his back up against the bottom rope, breathing heavily and shouting at the referee to get his championship. He picks himself up, using the ropes as a helping hands and then kicks Batista out of the ring, and then heads to the second rope to hold his title up.

***THIS FIRE BURNS***

The crowd immediately ERUPT as CM Punk marches onto the stage, holding his briefcase, and watches as Orton drops to the stage. Jerry Lawler is stood beside Punk, and then we suddenly see Legacy members, Alberto Del Rio, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase emerge from the crowd, sliding into the crowd, almost like Orton was expecting this to happen.

Orton points to his head, but Punk’s grin doesn’t disappear from his face. Instead, Lawler gets on the microphone.


Jerry Lawler:
Congratulations, Randy, you successfully defended your championship here tonight.

Orton glances at his title, sweat dripping from his forehead.

Jerry Lawler:
And we need a new challenger for you at SummerSlam... and Randy... you’re looking at him.

Lawler points at Punk, which is greeted by a massive pop from the crowd, and Punk then hands his briefcase to Lawler, not taking his eyes of Orton, his grin now completely gone.

Jerry Lawler:
At SummerSlam, it will be CM Punk... cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase... for a WWE Championship match against you, Randy Orton!

Again, another massive pop as Punk nods his head, and Lawler disappears into the background as all eyes are on Punk and Orton staring at each other from the stage and ring respectively. The commentators hype up this massive announcement, and then we go off the air, with Punk and Orton not taking their eyes off each other.

End of Show

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

RAW Review

Del Rio as the 4th member of Legacy??? I won't argue with this...Del Rio is a 2nd generation superstar the son of Dos Caras, Sr. Mexican legend the nephew of Mexican legends Mil Mascaras and Sicodelico and now that Del Rio has joined Legacy it would make sense that he would considering Orton, Rhodes and DiBiase are also multi-generational wrestlers like him and they come from wrestling families so does Del Rio and with Del Rio aligning himself with them he is bound to be successful here in the WWE

But Batista did bring up a good point, that point being that if it wasn't for Del Rio and Rhodes and DiBiase that he would be the WWE Champion right now and not Orton...Orton got lucky but at the same time Orton is a thinking man's wrestler...I mean look at who he learned from...Orton learned from the 2 dirtiest players in the game that being WWE Hall of Famer The Nature Boy Ric Flair and Triple H so Orton is pretty much becoming like his mentors Flair and Triple H in the sense that Flair he had the Horsemen and Triple H had DX and Evolution, so with Orton having his stable of Legacy they could become a real power group here on RAW

Batista getting a rematch for the WWE Championship, with all Legacy members banned from ringside, could Batista get the job done? I don't think he will because I see Orton somehow beating Batista again for the 2nd straight night in a row

But Batista with that sledgehammer, when he took it out, I honestly thought that meant that Triple H would return but with that sledgehammer coming into play I see that as more foreshadowing that Triple H is set to return and when he does...that Triple H obviously will be gunning for Orton


MVP and Mr. Kennedy the new World Tag Team Champions beating The Colons, definitely the right call because I am sure you want to put over your new champions as much as possible but with The Colons losing I wonder if this is the start of a falling out between the brothers Carlito and Primo? Could we see Carlito turn on Primo? Or see Primo turn on Carlito? Either way MVP and Mr. Kennedy deserved to go over because quite frankly they have much more going for them as a team but to see McIntyre and McGuiness the former World Tag Team Champions come out after the match to put the new champions on notice, I love it, because it sets the stage for a rematch and McIntyre & McGuiness I can definitely see them winning the titles back

Sheamus vs TJ Perkins next week on RAW in a #1 Contender's Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, to see who earns the right to face William Regal for his title, I see TJ winning this match and why? Because not only was TJ robbed of the title but he ended up mentioning those legends that he aspired to be like...names like Bret and The Bulldog and how essentially growing up in that shadow in that family how he aspires to be the best...I just respect that and I see TJ's time coming soon enough with him beating Sheamus to get at Regal and if that happens we could be in line for a new WWE Intercontinental Champion but for Sheamus...he doesn't even deserve to be stuck in the mid-card and Sheamus he should be put into the main event anyway because Sheamus is a main eventer in my book but for now they have to team together to face the team of Regal and Barrett, how is that going to happen? These two will fall apart as a team

The CM Punk/Randy Orton segment if anything was the best segment of the whole show and if anything after that, how can CM Punk not cash in his briefcase against Randy Orton? It is just bound to happen and when it does...we could very well see a new WWE Champion

I love this Miz/Tomko pairing and why? Because Miz as a cocky, brash young superstar he reminds me so much of a young 1990s era Shawn Michaels in the sense of his attitude but the fact that he can back it up too in the ring and not to mention the comparisons help especially if he has a bodyguard with him that bodyguard being Tomko especially when Shawn Michaels had his bodyguard Diesel Kevin Nash and they essentially both became stars out of that union, this is pretty much a recreation of that with Miz as Shawn Michaels and Tomko as Diesel

But The Miz beating JTG by DQ, Miz needs all the momentum he can get right now but after the match I definitely was not counting on Shawn Michaels showing up and then all hell breaking loose right after that with Shawn Michaels leaving Tomko laying like that, you can bet Miz won't be happy that's for sure and this pretty much sets the stage for Shawn Michaels vs. The Miz again but this time at SummerSlam, I know I won't be surprised if that match ends up happening

Regal's backstage interview, he definitely seemed confident, it makes me wonder if he has a plan in place as far as Sheamus and Perkins both go because if he does...you can bet Barrett, McIntyre and McGuiness will all be on hand and if that happens The Monarchy I can definitely see them doing Regal's dirty work softening them both up while Regal being the coward he is just watches

Maryse vs Trish Stratus at SummerSlam for the WWE Undisputed Women's Championship, the present that being Trish Stratus vs. the future of women's wrestling that being Maryse, Trish is perhaps the greatest diva of all time no doubt a future WWE Hall of Famer and Maryse she has proven that she's one of the greatest divas in recent memory and Maryse has been on a great run so far but if she truly wants to legitimize herself in the discussion of being one of the greatest if not the greatest diva of all time then she needs to face Trish and she needs to beat Trish in order to solidify herself in the history books and Maryse vs Trish at SummerSlam is definitely bound to be a classic, one of the most hyped up diva matches in recent memory

Del Rio, the newest member of Legacy, his interview I definitely loved it because he is showing just why he has so much talent, so much charisma I just love Del Rio because he is so arrogant, he is definitely just like his Legacy teammates Orton, Rhodes and DiBiase but he is probably even more arrogant than them and that's an understatement definitely because Del Rio is showing why he is Mexico's greatest export but as soon as Rey Mysterio was mentioned, you can tell Del Rio and Rey are going to end up feuding with one another, it is just bound to happen

TJ Perkins and Sheamus getting the victory beating Regal and Barrett gives Perkins and Sheamus both momentum heading into next week when they have to face each other but I wonder if this is a sign of a heel turn from Sheamus? If it is...then Sheamus definitely deserves to turn heel and here is hoping you bring out Sheamus' vicious, barbaric side and have Sheamus as an ass-kicker who is just a brawler similar to an Attitude-Era version of Triple H but with TJ pinning Barrett, I wonder if that is an omen of things yet to come as far as Regal and the IC Title are concerned?

Beth Phoenix if anything I feel that she should have gotten a title match instead of Trish because Beth Phoenix has been on a roll, she destroys Melina but yet she gets shafted in favor of Trish, are you kidding me? Beth Phoenix is not only way better than any diva past or present but she is perhaps the strongest diva pound for pound and she could definitely beat Trish and or Maryse any day but here is hoping you make that right soon because Beth Phoenix deserves to be the Women's Champion certainly more than some

And Orton in the main event retaining his WWE Championship against Batista, Orton just manages to keep finding ways to win so I can't say that I am surprised though because Orton has been on a roll since becoming champion and Orton has been on an amazing run as WWE Champion but I wonder where this leaves Batista for SummerSlam? And when Punk came out I honestly thought that he was going to cash in but Legacy comes out to save Orton only for the announcement to be made that Orton will be facing Punk at SummerSlam for the WWE Championship with Punk cashing in his briefcase to do it...I say that could be a big mistake on Punk's part and I will tell you why?

Because if Punk cashes in his briefcase by doing it the right way on a pay per view like what RVD did in 2006...it could backfire on Punk because if he does that by cashing in honorably then Orton can just get himself counted out or disqualified which means that Punk would lose on his cash in and then his cash in would have been for absolutely nothing or if Legacy get involved you know Punk is going to lose on his cash in so I still say cashing in honorably is the most stupidest decision Punk could make because to cash in on a champion when he's most vulnerable is definitely the way to go because it adds to the excitement...it adds to that unpredictability

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Big opening here with Legacy. We’ve been talking that you’d bring in Del Rio and I’m excited for it. Bringing in Del Rio this early is actually pretty interesting as he’s a good wrestler. With him in Legacy, this group looks awesome. I gotta commend you on the job you’re doing with your stables though, you’ve done great. Batista interrupting was the right choice but then having him take these guys out with a sledge hammer? I was sort of hoping he brought other guys with him like TJ Perkins or something, could’ve been a good rub for them. What a main event for tonight, no idea what’s gonna go down but it won’t be clean. A good opening, definitely hooked me into this episode of Raw.

Monarchy rematch? Yes please. I didn’t think they’d lose at the PPV. The decision to take the title off of them really intrigues me. Kinda talked about this too and I can only hope it’s as awesome as you made it sound. Glad TJ is still getting a push towards the IC Title, leave him there. I know he’s like a pet project of yours so I hope we see good things from him. Another appearance from Lawler huh? Let’s see less of him please :p

Totally Punk had the briefcase! Oh man, I’m begging for a Punk/Orton feud please. Everything is just so well placed right now. Punk’s got a lot of momentum, Legacy is as strong as ever, this’ll be a good feud if you get this going. Still digging the HBK/Miz stuff but then I hope this feud ends soon. Not sure about Tomko, just seems really random to me but I guess he’s a formidable enforcer. Hmm the Regal interview with Renee makes me think that there may be something going on with TJ and Renee for some reason. Romance angle? I’d go for it, more Renee please! (Y) Trish/Maryse, what more can I say? :mark

I’ll just go straight to the main event. You’re making Punk let Orton know about the cash-in? Wow. Bold move man, very bold move. It works so well with the story for sure. Been begging for a Punk/Orton feud because of the many changes you’ve made and I’ve got it, finally! This is gonna get good (Y)

Overall, you’ve made so many changes to WWE in 2009 and it’s just so good. Not sure which brand I like more at the moment, both brands are really good but Raw might be the one I like more because of this Orton/Punk feud. I’d like to commend you on making every part of this show enjoyable. Every title has been given a fair amount of attention to and each feud involving a particular title is awesome. Just looking at your Summerslam card and it already looks like a good show. You’ve even managed to make the divas division interesting! Kudos dude. Keep going at this man, loving it! (Y)

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

If anything RAW here has the better brand but in terms of star quality as it comes to matches I would have to give the edge to Smackdown but with the World Title scene at least the World Heavyweight Championship is on the same level as the WWE Championship in terms of value which is a good thing

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

But I can't wait to see what you have planned as far as the rest of 2009 goes because September you have your Breaking Point pay per view and then October you have your Hell in a Cell pay per view and then like 3 weeks later in the same month in October you have your Bragging Rights pay per view RAW vs Smackdown

And then November you have your Survivor Series pay per view and then December you have Tables, Ladders and Chairs as a PPV

Building up all the way towards WrestleMania 26

But I hope your PPVs become inter-promotional and we have both RAW and Smackdown on the same PPVs from now on because it creates more ratings in terms of ratings increase

Thanks to everyone that left me feedback, much appreciated. RatedR - You mentioned that Michaels hitting the elbow through the table was a bit much, and I totally agree, looking back that could have been saved for another week especially since this was the night after he got destroyed at the hands of Miz and Tomko. I've been told by a couple of people before that I tend to overbook things which I can totally see, I'll be trying to reign that in in the lead up to SummerSlam.

Also, my reasoning for Punk cashing in for a match at SummerSlam rather than just cashing it when Orton is down will be explained on the next Raw.

Anyway, I figure I should leave something here that actually means something. Thus, Superstars results and SmackDown 5 Point Preview:
