A New age in Wrestling!

[the_phenomenal1]

I know this would never happen, but it's fantasy right?
(things will be polished up over the week but i'm on an old machine at the moment so i'm limited to what i can do here."



"WWE.com is full of adverts that Vince Mcmahon has a huge announcement on the following week's Raw. "


(Raw's main event/ setting the scene)
After another monotonous main event tag-team match of John Cena & Jeff Hardy V Randy Orton & Umaga finishes a video package airs of everything that has happened in Wrestling since Vince Mcmahon took over. Clips include, pictures of the ratings where WCW beat WWE, Vince buying WCW, Austin's beerbath, One Night Stand 2005, Own Hart Tragedy and even Chris Benoit.


Vince Mcmahon's music hits and he walks to the ring. No cocky strut, no smug smile, just Vince Mcmahon the owner not Mr. Mcmahon the totaltarian dictator. Vince gets in the ring takes the microphone and begins to talk:

Vince: "Ladies and Gentlemen, since i inherited this business from my father i have seen numerous ups and downs within the whole Wrestling business. However, right now the WWE and Sports Entertainment as a whole is in a very weak position in both the media, and amongst the wrestling fans. As many of you may know i'm not getting any younger and therefore i have decided that i shall be passing the baton on to my son and daughter Shane & Stephanie, thus allowing me a steady retirement. This business is no longer a part of my life....it IS my life and i want it to be back where it belongs, as one of the greatest spectacles in the world. It's unquestionnable that the greatest success that Wrestling has had in the past is throughout the mid to late 90s. A time when the WWE and WCW would go head to head. Therefore i have chosen to do what all the Internet Wrestling fans want...(see, i do take notice!) and i am bringing back WCW AND there will be a complete overhaul of ECW!

First of all the plan for ECW is...well perhaps i'm not the correct person to explain, i give to you...."

(turns and points to ramp)

ECW music plays and Paul Heyman walks down the ramp with an almost Mcmahon-esque swagger to himself.

Paul Heyman: Thank you Vince. You see almost two years ago, Vince Mcmahon said to me, he said Paul, i'm considering bringing back ECW, and i said YES!! however ECW never really was ECW it was WWE does ECW in a similar way to Mae Young does Dallas. So when Vince approached me last month and told me if i came back i would have complete control over hiring, firing, the action and everything ECW i said i'd consider it. When he told me how much money he was willing to invest i said Yes!!!! (again!) So ladies and gentlemen ECW is returning bigger, better and brasher than ever.

VM: That's right Paul, ECW will be under 100% control by Paul Heyman. It will see a return of nonstop wrestling as well as high flying and Hardcore action. It will now be shown on Thursday nights to rival that erm...."other" wrestling show on a Thursday and the true ECW will return.

Heyman: That's right Vince. You could actually say that the new show on Thursday nights will be Total Nonstop A...erm....let's stick with ECW. E..C...W, E...C...W, (Heyman walks away up the ramp shouting to himself) E...C...W!!! Sabu!!! ECW......ECW....Sandman...ECW....ECW...ECW....RVD....ECW....ECW....Rhyno!!!! ECW

(cut back to VM in the ring)

VM: (that bemused smile what VM does.) "Now that's cleared up let's move on to WCW. The fact is, i'm a businessman and for so long i have not been able to see what the fans wanted and what was missing from the Wrestling world.I was so caught up in my own Monopoly that i couldn't see what Sports Entertainment needed. That vital ingredient is without doubt competition. So the new WCW will be run by two men who know more about what it means to be WCW than anybody else. Eric Bischoff and Ric Flair. But before i bring them out let me tell you a little about the new WCW. It will rival the WWE. All profits from WCW & ECW are going into the WWE. They will be connected to WWE through ownership only. Aside from that each owner will have their own budgets when it comes to signing talent etc. It will be like the good old days of Wrestling. All the shows will share PPV's. The PPV's will now be 4 hours long with Wrestlemania being extended to 6. So without further ado Ladies and Gentlemen....Eric Bischoff."

(A large WCW icon appears on the screen and Eric Bischoff makes his way to the ring.)

Eric Bischoff (EB): Thats right. I'm back, and so is WCW. WCW is dawning on a new era and unlike before we are starting from the bottom. I can promise you know we have some names already lined up and depite being sued 5 times already for talent breaching contracts elsewhere to come to WCW we will once again beat the WWE in the ratings. But unlike before we will stay on top. I'd like now, to introduce to you a man who would like to explain a little more about the new WCW...

...WOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! (Flairs music hits and to an unbelievable reception Ric Flair enters the ring donned in a trademark Nature Boy Armani suit.

Flair: (looks around waiting for Woo's and cheering to stop)...Wooooooooo!! (crowd massive pop once again) haha, oh yea, WCW is back baby and wooooo the Nature Boy is back too. Did you really think that match against HHH would be the end of the Nature Boy? Well if you did you'd be wrong again woooo! When the time comes, the curtain splits and the Monday Nitro opens for the first time in 7 years i suspect there will be rather a lot of questions to be answered. Well allow me to give you some answers early. So as a sneak preview, i have woooooo comprised a little video for you all to wooooo watch.

(Video airs showing classic moments such as forming of nWo, Bret Hart appearing, and many others such as Steiners, Bagwell, DDP, Randy Savage.)

Bischoff: But the thing is WCW wasn't always about the veterans and the has-beens WCW provided Wrestling with some exceptional talent, such as Chavo Guerrero, Sugar Shane Helms and many more. This shall continue with the new age WCW, but just because that's said don't expect the has-beens to dissappear..

Flair:....Bischoff!!! Who are you calling has-beens? because believe me you won't know what has hit you when you are in that ring with the golden age of wrestling. Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage....woooooooooo.

VM: Ok i think we all get what you're saying but save the drama for Nitro. So this is a new age in professional wrestling. Next week's 3 hour special Raw will be the end of the Vincent Kennedy Mcmahon era and the beggining of the new age.

Raw goes off the air with Vince stood in the ring shaking hands and chatting off-mic with Ric Flair.....



NEXT WEEK!!!!

[the_phenomenal1]

Vince Mcmahons picture appears on the screen, then a video of the previous week's announcement by VM airs. As the video ends, VM's picture is shown once again. As it fades away Raw opens, the pyro goes off and streams of rockets stream throughout the arena.

JR: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Monday Night Raw LIVE from Greensboro, North Carolina. On the back of that huge announcement last week we are set for a night of returns, drama and are all set to say goodbye to WWE owner Vince McMahon has he hands over the WWE.

King: That's right JR, can you believe that Vince will not be here any longer? It won't seem the same without him.

("ARE YOU READY?!?!?!?" D-X music hits and HHH & HBK make their way to the ring)

JR: What's this King?! it seems we could be in for another reunion of DX.

(In the ring HHH & HBK give the X signs and set off the Pyro.)

HHH: "You know, when we heard that Vince was hanging up his hat and opting for a life in the sun it brought back memories for me and Shawn. You see, when we reformed 2 years ago, we had some pretty fun times with old Vinnie and well, we dumped Crap on him!!....We told the world that he liked Cock!....We shoved his head riiiiiiiiiiiight up Big Show's ass......we destroyed his car.....we painted his offices we...

HBK:...ok Hunter i think they get it!

HHH: We spray painted his plain!

HBK: HUNTER!!! i said stop!

HHH: We got his daughter pregnant!

HBK: (slaps HHH comically) Now as i was saying...WE?!?!? got his daughter pregnant?? that was all you that big guy!!! AAAANYWAY! we thought that since DX has humiliated Vince so much and this IS VM appreciation night, we would invite him out to publically apologize. So! (in funny voice) Vince Mcmahon: Come on down!!!!!!

(NO CHANCE, COS THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE GOT.VM's music hits and Vince makes his way to the ring looking rather apprehensive. Vince gets in the ring and is immediately placed in between HHH & HBK)

Vince: er..well

HHH: how IS steph??

HBK: Vince, don't look so scared. We have got you out here because we want to apologize for everything we've put you through over the years and we thought you could perhaps join in with another DX tradition.

(HHH & HBK put a t-shirt and hat in VM and position him in between them facing the camera.)

HHH: For the thousands in attendance, for the millions watching at home...lllllllllllllllllllllllllllets get ready to suck iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!

(as HHH, HBK & VM do the crotch chops the video of Vince dancing that DX parodied him with in 2006 play. After an awkward look the three begin laughing and DX get VM recreating it. HHH hugs VM and the three laugh together.

Commercial!!!

JR: Welcome back folks. We still have a huge night ahead. We will hear about the future of WWE, as well as what to expect from WCW & ECW. But right now it's time for our openin match.

(London & Kendrick's music hits and they run to the ring accompanied by the returning Ashley)

JR: Could Paul London and Brian Kendrick win the tag-team titles tonight?

King: Well JR they do have the experience as a team over Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes but, Holly is much older and wiser than any of the other three superstars in this match.

(Holly's music hits and he comes down the ramp. He stops halfway down, turns around and see's that Rhodes isn't with him. As he gets in the ring Holly looks concerned.)

JR: It appears as though Hardcore Holly could be out here on his own here tonight.

(Ameeeeeeeeeeeeerican Dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam! Cody Rhodes comes to the ring recieving advice from Dusty Rhodes, Holly gives him a sharp look then a smile.)

World Tag-Team Titles
Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes (c) v Brian Kendrick & Paul London

The Finish:
Holly aims a dropkick at London but London ducks and the dropkick hits Rhodes. London turns but Holly catches him and lifts him up for the Alabama Slam. Kendrick is still out on the outside. Alabama Slam on London and 1...2...3

The Aftermath:
Holly takes the titles of referee Chad Paton. As he hands one to Rhodes, Rhodes just shakes his head and walks off without the title belt. Rhodes snr turns and shakes his head at Holly as he accompanies his son up the ramp.

Commercial.

Backstage segment!

(Raw comes back on the air with DH Smith, Jamie Noble and Chuck Palumbo in the ring)

He looks McCool up and down and grabs her, Palumbo gets off the ladder and chases Noble to the outside. Meanwhile, in the ring Kennedy grabs the case thus giving him the number 24 entry into the rumble.

Palumbo chases Noble through the crowd and into the back.

(Wooooooooooo, Flairs music hits and the Nature Boy makes his way to the ring. Huge reaction, with all the crowd on their feet cheering the Nature Boy. As Flair allows the cheers to die down, he's about to do his first woooo when...

....I'm back, and better than ever! Bischoff makes his way to the ring. The two look at each other awkwardly, and Bischoff begins to speak)

Bischoff: "Well, we promised last week that we would tell you who we had signed for the new WCW. The thing is we wanted people to realise that this new WCW would be a mix of old and new. So let me introduce to you a number of the newest WCW wrestlers.

Chavo Guerrero, Chuck Palumbo, Sean O'Haire, Mark Jindrak, Gregory Helms, Charlie Haas, The Highlanders, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Finlay, Shannon Moore, Kenny Dykstra, Torrie Wilson, John Morrison

Bischoff: This ladies and gentlemen is what we were talking about when we said we would mix the old with the new. I give to you...WCW

Flair: Wait right there Bischoff. Over my dead body is this the whole of the new WCW. You seem to be forgetting that i too have been out there trying to bring in people for our WCW. So without further ado i give to you.

The Outsiders!!!, Hollywood Hogan, DDP, Booker-T, Steiner Brothers, Buff Bagwell, Sycho Sid

Flair: This Eric is what WCW was about. The jewell's in the crown. But this isn't it. You see Eric...it's SHOWTIME!!!

(Blackout in the arena........when the lights come back on Sting is stood on top of an entranceway towards the back of the arena.)

JR: Oh my god King, that's Sting!!

King: The one man who Vince McMahon could never sign, is finally about to be stood in a WWE ring.

Flair: Why should we end there? They said this next man would never appear inside a WWE ring again, but tonight on the eve of his WCW return he will once again be on Raw, the man i'm talking about is the best there is....the best there was....and the best there ever will be!!!

(huge pop as Bret Hart appears on the stage. He begins walking to the ring, gets halfway, stops and turns around. He then signals to the ramp and the Hart Foundation v2.0 appear. Teddy Hart, DH Smith, Nattie Niedhart, and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart.)

Flair: Oh and Eric, there's just one more WCW veteran who you may want to get acquainted with......and Eric "You're Next!!!"

(Crowd go mental as we see the knock on the door backstage, and out comes.....GILLBERG!!! as Gillberg gets in the ring, Flair looks horrified, and Bischoff and the new WCW superstars begin laughing but then..... from out of nowhere Goldberg appears in the ring. Spears Gillberg then gives him the jackhammer. He then Signals to Bischoff that he's next!! Bischoff and his crew dive out of the ring and make their way to the back.)

Commercial!

When Raw comes back on the air a replay of what happened before the break shows.

JR: Before the break, we have seen the return of some of the biggest names in the history of Wrestling.

King: and Gillberg!

JR: Yes king, and Gillberg.

JR: and up next we've got another Royal Rumble qualifier.

Royal Rumble Qualifier
Kane v Santino Marella

(Big explosion, and outcomes the Big Red Machine..KANE!!!!, followed by the sound of Opera, and Santino Marella entering the ring.)

The Finish!
Kane had Marella in position and was about to hit the chokeslam, Marella grabbed the referee and while he had hold of him low blowed Kane, so that the ref didn't see. Marella then rolled up Kane for the pin. 1...2..3!

Commercial!

(the ECW music hits and Paul Heyman comes to the ring, accompanied by RVD.)

Heyman: Last week i promised a return of ECW, a TRUE!! return. When, Vince told me to go and get whom ever i could into ECW. That was the easiest job i've ever had to do in my life. The first person i consulted about this was Rob, (points to RVD) and we decided ECW wasn't ECW without the harcore loving maniacs such as (points to the entrances in the crowd)

Sandman, Sabu, Dreamer, Impact Players, bWo, Balls Mahoney & Axl Rotten, FBI, Dudleys!

RVD: But you know, that isn't all. ECW wasn't all high flyers and maniacs, so i'd also like to welcome the rest of ECW..Tazz, Rhino, Shane Douglas, Raven. This is ECW, this is what ECW is all about. But times change, and therefore i'd like to welcome to you the new generation of ECW. CM Punk, Elijah Burke, Shelton Benjamin, Jimmy Yang, Shannon Moore, Jamie Noble

Heyman, "This is ECW and this is the future of Wrestling!!"

(the ECW guys all leave and unlike WCW they are all on good terms, the new & the old.)

Commercial!

JR: Next up, we have a WWE v WCW 6-man tag team match.

6-man tag match
Highlanders & Roddy Piper v Edge & Edge Heads (Kurt Hawkins & Zack Rider)

The Finish!
Robbie rolled up Hawkins to get the win while the other 4 were brawling on the outside.

The Aftermath
Edge then got a chair and attacked Piper and the Highlanders. Edge & The Edgeheads plus 6 chairs delivered 3 one man con-chair-to's to the Highlanders and Piper. Then walked up the ramp smirking and congratulating each other.

(Here Comes the moneeeeeeeeey, Shane O'Mac enters the ring.)

Shane: Welcome to the new age of WWE. First of let's forget the hype and lets get down to business. My first act as leader of WWE is to combine Raw & Smackdown back to one show. Now i have a tough act to follow just like my dad did but i promise that i will be able to do something my dad couldn't. I promise to keep the WWE above WCW. Let the Monday night Wars II begin!! But right now, i'd like to introduce to you the man that transformed Sports Entertainment and created a man made empire....my father VINCE MCMAHON!!!!!!!!

(Vince's music hits and a much more sombre VKM enters the ring, despite his dictator heel persona, cheers all around the arena and people bowing down to VM.)

VM: Thank You. For years now i've come to this ring, told you guys, how great i am, and how much you suck. But now i'm talking to you as Vince McMahon the man. Not Mr. McMahon the chracter and let me tell you, you are without a shadow of a doubt the heart and soul of the Wrestling business. That's why i chose to bring back WCW & ECW because you deserve a reward, and deserve better than the current product. I feel i'm leaving this business in very capable hands with my son Shane and daughter Stephanie. So in essence what i'm trying to say is...

(...glass shatters, Stone Cold comes charging to the ring)

Stone Cold: ahem....It's been a long time, Vince that i've come to the ring and made your life a living hell. You've recieved endless stunners, pedigrees, cheap shots, booyaa!! But Vince i am speaking on behalf of everyone when i say Thank You. Without you Vince there would be no WWE, there would be no Austin 3:16. So there's some people back there that would like to thank you themselves. HEY, GET YOUR SORRY ASSES OUT HERE AND LET'S DRINK SOME BEER!!

(everyone comes out from the back and gets in the ring and once it's full they surround the ring. A few wrestlers take the mic to speak.)

HHH: Vince, you changed me from a nobody into what i am today, if it wasn't for you, i'd be a nothing right now posing on some beach somewhere, thank you Vince.

Kevin Nash: Vince, when you came to me with the idea of Diesel i wasn't so sure but you made me World Champ for over a year, and that's what really put me on the map, rather than just a bodyguard.

(If ya smeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll)

JR: King, IT'S THE ROCK!!!!

King: i can see that JR but what the hell is he doing here?!?!

JR: I dunno King, but i'm taking a closer look. (a thud can be heard as JR & King throw down their headsets and head for the ring)

Rock: Finally........The Rock has come back....to the W......W.....E!! Vince Mcmahon.... The Rock has a lot to owe to you, you see The Rock was a big headed youth trying to follow in the footsteps, but one day you said to The Rock that he had to stop following and begin leading. You told The Rock to start something of his own, and that's exactly what i did. Without you Vince Mcmahon, The Rock would not be a former multiple time World Champion, and a Hollywood Movie Star, so Vince, from the bottom of The ROCK's heart....Thank You!

(Sting is seen taking the microphone)

Sting: MR McMahon, time and time again you spoke to me about joining the WWF..sorry WWE! and i always felt there was a reason no to, but inside i always saw myself eventually working underneath you. Whilst i can't comment like many of these guys what i can do Vince, is applaud everything you have achieved and congratulate you on putting Wrestling on the map.

(Bret Hart has a microphone)

Bret: Vince! I never thought i'd see the day where i would be doing this, and whilst to say we've had differences would be the understatement of the century. I still can't deny that you did a hell of a lot for me in the beggining and throughout the prime of my career and therefore i have to respect you.

Vince: Well Bret, it may be 11 years overdue but i believe it's time for me to apologize.

(an awkward smile across both Hart's & VM's faces.)

Shane: But now Dad, it's time for the main event. A triple threat match featuring a superstar from WWE, WCW and ECW.

Commercial!

(Back from the commercial, with Vince sat at ringside in a comfy seat. Shane, Flair and Paul Heyman in the ring.)

Heyman: My entrant into tonight's main event is a man who personifies ECW, the heart and soul of ECW, and an ECW original. Ladies and Gentlemen Mr Monday night himself...RVD!!!!

(RVD enters to big ovation)

Flair (applauds) Woooooooooo and joining him in that match will be of a similar vain to ECW's entry and it's finally the time for his dream to come true. Appearing in a WWE ring for the first time...wooo this wooo is Sting woooooooooooooooo

(sting enters to the biggest ovation of the night)

Shane: there could be no one else to put into this match, and there's no introduction needed. I give to you the People's Champion, The Rock!!!

(the rock swaggers to the ring, gives an encouraging nod to VM)

Sting v RVD v The Rock

The Finish!
RVD brings a chair into the the ring and gives a Van Daminator to Sting whilst the ref is still down. The Rock gets back to his feet and trades blows with RVD. RVD swings a chair at The Rock who ducks and starts to lay the Smackdown on RVD. The last punch sending RVD over the top rope. The Rock then hits the People's elbow on Sting. Rather than pinning him he locks in the Sharpshooter.....Sting screams in pain but refuses to tap. Sting reaches back and eventually grabs The Rocks leg, trips him and locks in the Scorpion Death Lock.......The Rock taps and Sting lets go.

The Aftermath
As The Rock and Sting regain their composure, The Rock stares down Sting before offering his hand out and the two icons embrace in the middle of the ring. They then invite VM into the ring and shake hands & The Rock gives hima hug. The lockeroom enters and evryone lines the entranceway, surround the ring and fill the ring and all applaud as VM stands with his family. The screen fades to black and Vince's picture reappears on the screen.

[the_phenomenal1]

7th January 2008
From Washington DC

A video airs of various highlights from last week’s Raw including all the major things said by Eric Bischoff, Paul Heyman & Shane McMahon. We also see the huge returns of Bret Hart, and other former stars such as The Outsiders, The Rock & Stone Cold. As the video airs we see Vince McMahon walking up the ramp after the show and as he goes through the curtain the camera zooms in on the curtain giving a black screen. As it zooms back out we see Shane & Stephanie McMahon standing in the darkness ready to begin a new age in Professional Wrestling.

The Raw intro begins and the music hits. As the intro stops pyro lights up the whole arena. 12,000 fans are on their feet for the rebirth of Professional Wrestling.

JR: Ladies and Gentlemen we welcome you to Raw coming at you live from the Washington DC, the home of the President of the United States. But tonight the name on everyone’s lips is the new president of the WWE and his announcement which is due tonight.
King: That’s right JR, Shane is going to kick off his reign as WWE Chairman with what he’s describing as a huge announcement regarding the WWE title.
JR: Yes King, but that’s not the only announcement tonight because tonight we know that The Rock is here tonight and he has also got an announcement, which i can’t wait for.

(Here comes the moneeeeeeeeeeey. Shane’s music hits and he comes to the ring with a slight swagger. Not the regular skipping and dancing about & not a swagger on the level of Vince, but a much more serious and composed Shane McMahon....... as the crows dies down Shane brings the mic up & begins to give his announcement...)

Shane: Welcome, to Monday night Rawwwwww. Last week, there was a lot of discussion about the future of WWE and how things are changing for the long term. But you see, we’re just 4 weeks away from the first PPV of the year and the true beginning of the Road to Wrestlemania. The WWE has received 12 entries into the Royal Rumble and with the majority of those already filled there are the remaining slots to fill in the coming weeks. But; the Royal Rumble is not only about the 30 Man over-the-top rope match itself. There is the small matter of the WWE championship. Now Randy Orton, you WILL be defending that title at the Royal Rumble. Tonight we will be deciding who that title defence will be against. Tonight The Undertaker is going to face Shawn Michaels. The winner of the match will get a title shot at the Royal Rumble.

-Commercial-

(Back from the commercial and Santino Marella’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Santino gets in the ring and grabs a microphone.)


Santino: Last week I won my match and qualified for-a-the Royal Rumble, but I have-a been screwed out of that by the new owner Shane. Well- a – Shane. You have proven that you are nothing but a pushover and....

(Car Crash, Mick Foley’s music hits, and out he comes with his old Commissioner Foley T-shirt on)


Foley: Well actually Santino, it wasn’t Shane that decided Kane deserved a rematch. You see when Shane asked me to be commissioner, he told me to keep a firmer hold on things. No longer would it be a case of the bad guys running everything around here. That’s why I decided that after your actions last week, you would be forced into a rematch against Kane, right here in Washington DC!!! Oh and Santino......Have a nice day!!

(Huge explosion, as Kane makes his way to the ring. He glances at the passing Commissioner and then focuses back on Marella.)

Royal Rumble Qualifier
Kane v Santino Marella

The Finish:

Marella leaning against the ropes. Kane attempted a clothesline, but Marella pulled down the top rope sending Kane over the top and crashing into the announce table. Marella then takes out a petrol can from under the ring and douses Kane in it. The referee rings for the bell and DQ’s Marella. He throws a zippo on Kane setting him alight. Kane screams, gets up stares at Marella. Marella runs away and Kane begins screaming in agony & rolling around on the floor.

Winner by DQ: Kane (advances to the Royal Rumble match)

-Commercial-

(Back from the commercial and a replay shows of Santino Marella’s actions in his match with Kane. Then we see Kane being ‘put out’ and helped to the back after the match.)


JR: Santino Marella’s actions before the break were an absolute disgrace. Kane is being treated in the back as we speak, but it was a very disturbing sight

King: and the smell as he was taken past us. You could smell the burning flesh. This kind of thing never happened under Vince McMahon because Kane would never have gotten his rematch in the first place. It’s like the inmates are running the asylum.

Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes (c) v Deuce & Domino
Non Title Match

(How d’ya like me now!?!?, Hardcore Holly’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Cody Rhodes then enters to the American Dream music, once again accompanied by his father. Not a lot of interaction between Holly & Rhodes to say they are the tag-team champions. Deuce & Domino make their entrance accompanied by Cherry and the match gets started)

The Finish:
Rhodes aims a clothesline at Deuce but misses and takes out the referee. Cherry throws a chair to Domino to take out Holly but Holly hits the chair back in Domino’s face and knocks him out. Rhodes then picks up Deuce and Holly aims a chair shot at him. Deuce ducks and Holly lays out Rhodes for the second week in a row. Deuce then clotheslines Holly and pins the unconscious Rhodes. 1-2-3.

Winners by pin fall Deuce & Domino w/ Cherry

The Aftermath:
Holly & Dusty Rhodes are over Cody trying to bring him round. They help him up and he shrugs them both off. He looks at Holly and for the second week in a row, shakes his head and walks away. Dusty shrugs his shoulders at Hardcore and follows Cody up the ramp.

(Backstage, Mr. Kennedy is talking to Commissioner Foley about his Royal Rumble entry and it’s decided that Kennedy can get the number 30 in the Royal Rumble match. But he has a triple threat match before the Royal Rumble itself. It will be Mr. Kennedy representing WWE, and a representative from WCW and ECW. The winner will get the #30 in the match. The loser will be #1 and whoever isn’t involved in the decision will get the #15. Kennedy accepts the challenge and promises to bring the Royal Rumble victory to WWE because he is....MISTERRRRRRRRRRRRR KEEENNNNNEEDY!!!!...............KKKEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

-Commercial-

JR: We just heard tonight that The Undertaker is going to face off against Shawn Michaels in our main event of the evening with the winner facing WWE champion Randy Orton at the Royal Rumble.


King: That should be a great match JR.

(JBL’s music hits and out comes a white stretch limo. JBL gets out of the car and is surprisingly dressed to compete. He slowly makes his way to the ring surrounded by a chorus of jeers waving to the crowd and smiling.)


JBL: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, it would appear as though Raw is going to once again be graced by a Wrestling...God! You see I was WWE champion for over a year and I beat everyone in that time. Eddie Guerrero, Booker-T, Kurt Angle, The Undertaker. I faced all the greats and beat them all. So I know that I have a divine right for success and I will once again be the number one guy on Raw. I feel I am an icon amongst the Wrestlers in WWE, a role model, a figure to look up to and....

(Behold the King....the king of kings........................time to play the game!! The crowd go wild as HHH appears on the stage with a microphone. He doesn’t go down to the ring, he just marches back and forth on the stage.)


HHH: Everyone? Because the way I remember it you faced all the greats such as....well....Shannon Moore! Ye you managed to beat him on your own, Spike Dudley...big guy! The only reason you beat the likes of The Undertaker and Kurt Angle is because you needed the help. You needed the wardrobe...or whatever they were called.


JBL: It was my damn cabinet


HHH: sorry! But you see, you had one little lucky title run, and you needed those other nine or ten guys so it wouldn’t end, because it was all you ever achieved in your career. Me however, I’m an eleven time WWE Champion, and unlike you I really have beaten all the greats. The Rock, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Scott Steiner, Bill Goldberg, Ric Flair! And unlike you Bradshaw, I beat most of them single handed.

JBL: You’re a damn hypocrite Hunter! You needed Evolution to beat most of them guys. You are nothing HHH, you don’t deserve to lace my boots!
HHH: Hmmm well....you appear as if you’re dressed to compete and I quite frankly can kick your ass whatever I’m dressed like, so.....can we get a referee out here.


(HHH runs down to the ring followed by a referee.)

Impromptu match:


HHH v John Bradshaw Layfield


The match starts officially whilst the two are brawling in the ring. HHH gets JBL in position for a pedigree but JBL gets out of it and low blows HHH with a kick. The referee calls for a disqualification. JBL then stands tall in the ring, going on each turnbuckle only to receive boo’s from the crowd. During this time HHH has slowly gotten out of the ring and grabbed the sledgehammer from under the ring. As JBL gets off the last turnbuckle he turns around only to be clotheslined by the HHH using the sledgehammer. He then picks up JBL and pedigrees him right in the centre of the ring. HHH then walks up the ramp and poses on the stage with the Sledgehammer

Winner by DQ: Triple H

-Commercial-


(If ya smeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!! The crowd go wild as The Rock makes his way to the ring. He gets in the ring with a microphone and has to wait for the chants of “Rocky” to stop.)


The Rock: Finally......The Rock has come back to Washington DC!!!! You see, The Rock has an announcement for the millions.....AND MILLIONS of Rock’s fans. Because it’s been too long, too long since The Rock was in this ring laying the smackdown on someone’s candy ass. You see The Rock, is without a shadow of a doubt the....

(Tick tock...MVP’s music plays and he appears on the stage)


MVP: The thing is R...


Rock: woah woah woah woah WOAH!! Who in the blue hell are you!?!?!

MVP: i’m...


Rock: IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOU ARE!!! The Rock knows who you are, you’re the blue power ranger aren’t you?

MVP: well...


Rock: nah nah shut up! You’re MVP, you’re the WWE’s MVP apparently. Well The Rock has been an actual MVP in the past in everything The Rock has ever done. Miami Dolphins? The Rock was MVP. WWE? The Rock was MVP, Hollywood? The Rock IS MVP. And while The Rock has been doing all them things, you have been getting your ass kicked by The Undertaker & Kane. Well The Rock says. How do you fancy getting your ass kicked again? Because before you interrupted; The Rock was about to announce that he’s making his return to the WWE. So what better way to return than kicking your ass next week?

MVP: Ok Rock, I accept your challenge, & I’ll show you why I have been running this show while you’ve been failing in Hollywood

Rock: Failing? (Rock smiles) Well one thing The Rock never has “failed” in his beating the holy hell out of wannabe’s like you and that’s one thing that will not change when you step into the ring and go one-on-one with the great one...IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLALALALALA!! WHAT THE ROCK.....IS.....COOKIN’

(The camera zooms in on The Rock as we go to a commercial)

-Commercial-

JR: We heard moments ago folks that next week on Raw, there will be the in ring return of The Rock, and he will go toe-to-toe with MVP.

King: That’s gonna be huge JR, but in the short term, it’s main event time,

JR: and what a main event it’s going to be. A Number one contenders match between The Undertaker & Shawn Michaels, and folks...it’s next!!

#1 Contender Match for WWE title at The Royal Rumble

The Undertaker V Shawn Michaels

(woo woo I Think I’m cute....as HBK’s music hits, the crowd get to their feet and HBK makes his way to the ring in his usual flamboyant style..............then...The blackout in the arena, the “Bongs” ring around the arena and The Undertaker slowly enters the ring. As he brings up the lights he stares at Shawn Michaels and the crows goes wild as these two icons are about to go at it. They lock up as the match begins.........)

The Finish: After a long match which has caused both men to bleed heavily, HBK sets up Taker for the Sweet Chin Music, Taker, blocks it and lifts up Michaels for the Last Ride. But Michaels gets out of it and Super Kicks Taker right in the Chin leaving The Undertaker laid out next to the ropes. HBK falls on Taker and just gets a leg hooked as referee Mike Chioda counts the 1....2....3!

Winner by pin fall: Shawn Michaels

The Aftermath:

Replays show that Undertaker’s foot was actually underneath the rope and thus the fall shouldn’t have counted.

Winner by pin fall: Shawn Michaels, the decision was then overturned and declared a non-contest.

(Randy Orton comes out onto the stage)

Orton: You two has been’s are a joke! You can’t even finish a match properly, you don’t deserve to challenge for my title!

(The car crash sound and Foley’s music hits once again, and the WWE Commissioner appears on the stage next to Orton)

Foley: Well actually Randy, they will challenge for your title at the Royal Rumble. But rather than just one of them...it will be a triple threat match.....(begins to walk away but stops and turns to Orton)....oh and Randy.....HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!!

(Raw goes off the air with Randy Orton stood on the stage looking gobsmacked, Undertaker staring him down from in the ring & HBK getting back to his feet in the ring and smiling at Orton.....as Taker turns around HBK nails him with the Sweet Chin Music, shrugs his shoulders and walks away? Orton then poses on the stage as Raw goes off the air.)

7th January 2008
New York


(A video package of the history of Nitro plays as it stops we see a shot of the arena from a blimp. Then an explosion on the screen and the old WCW logo is seen.

Fireworks fill the arena as all the fans are on their feet. Wooooooooooooooooo, The music hits and Ric Flair makes his way to the ring.

He gets in the ring and deafening chants of “Thank you Ric” and endless “woo’s” can be heard around the arena. When the noise eventually dies down Flair is able to talk)


Ric Flair: Wooooooooooooooooooo........(more endless cheers).......Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first Nitro in seven years. Now for all his faults in the past Vince McMahon has finally given the WCW fans something to cheer about. You are the best fans in the world and you deserve to see the greatest Wrestling organisation in the world. Now tonight, I promised you a new WCW champion. The main-event tonight will be a 3-way-dance to determine the new WC......


(Bischoff’s music hits and he appears on the ramp)


Bischoff: You see Ric, you don’t run things around here now do you? Because when Vince McMahon resurrected WCW, he made ME; Eric Bischoff, the General Manager. So Ric, there isn’t going to be a triple threat match to decide the WCW champion tonight.


Flair: Eric, you have been sorely mistaken, because you are the general manager of WCW and by orders of Vince McMahon before he left, I can’t do a thing about that. But you seem to be mistaken when you question my authority. Because Eric, I am the Nature Boy woooooo, and whilst you are the General Manager of WCW I am the woooooo President of WCW Woooooooooooooooooooo! I rule WCW, I am wooo like a non-profitable owner woooo. So Eric I can do whatever the hell I want to woooo! Because of that, I have decided that instead of a 3-way dance for the WCW title, it’s going to be three guys of my chosing wooo and three guys chosen by you in a 6-man elimination match, and the winner will be the new WCW Champion wooooooo!


(Flair drops the mic and makes his way up the ramp to the back leaving Eric Bischoff looking gobsmacked in the ring)


-Commercial-


Schaivone (TS): Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I never thought I would see the day that I was back behind a Nitro desk, but I am and it feels so good, what do you think Bobby?


Heenan (Brain): That’s right Tony, it’s a new era for WCW and I’m already hyped about tonight’s main event, can you believe it? That we’re going to have a 6 man match for the WCW title.


TS: But right now it’s time for our first Nitro match since Ric Flair v Sting back in 2001. I’ve just been told it’s going to be our first title match of the night. It will be for the WCW Tag-Team championship.

WCW Tag-Team Title Match

The Highlanders w/ Roddy Piper v Chuck Palumbo & Sean O’Haire


(The sound of bagpipes plays and The Highlanders come out accompanied by Roddy Piper, still with the bruises from the attack from Edge & the Edgeheads. Piper takes the mic)


Piper: You know, I saw these guys and realised that all they need was a push in the right direction, and that’s what I intend to give them. So this is a warning to every other tag-team in the back...THE HIGHLANDERS ARE HERE TO STAY, AND THIS TIME THEY’RE GETTING ROWDY!!!


(Chuck Palumbo & Sean O’Haire come out; Palumbo has dropped the Biker gimmick and is back to trunks. They enter the ring and the match begins.)

The Finish:

Palumbo super kicked Robbie, but was then clotheslined by Rory. O’Haire then attempted an irish whip on Rory. Rory reverses and as O’Haire gets to the rope, Piper leans in and trips him. As he gets up and turns around to shout at Piper Rory rolls up O’Haire and the referee counts 1.......2.........3. The Highlanders win the vacant WCW Tag-Team Championships.

winners by pinfall: The Highlanders

The Aftermath:

As Piper gets in the ring to celebrate with the Mcallistair’s Mark Jindrak & Shawn Stasiak run down the ramp and attack Piper. By now Palumbo & O’Haire are back on their feet and attack The Highlanders. The four men stand tall in the ring and Sean O’Haire takes a microphone.


O’Haire: We may not have won the WCW Tag Team titles but we have made an impact and that’s what we are here to do. We are the Natural Born Thrillers!


(O’Haire drops the mic and all four men leave the ring)



(Backstage Flair is talking to Booker-T in Flair's office.)

Flair: Book, there's this triple threat match at the Rumble and i would like nothing more than for you to represent WCW. If you don't win the match and end up getting the number 1 entrant which i can't see happening then i guarantee you a shot at the WCW Title the following week on Nitro. What do you say Booker?

Booker-T: Ric...i would be honoured, I've always considered myself WCW and that's why at the Royal Rumble i will beat those other two Sucka's and then win the Rumble.

-Commercial-


TS: Before the break we crowned new Tag-Team champions, but it wasn’t The Highlanders who tried to make a name for themselves.


Bobby: That’s right Tony, and we saw the rebirth of the Natural Born Thrillers, a group who were all trained at the infamous Powerplant and guided by Kevin Nash in the first stint.


(Booker-T’s music begins and he comes out with a smile which parallel’s that of Tommy Dreamer at One Night Stand 2005.)

Royal Rumble Qualifying Match

Booker – T v Fit Finlay


TS: But right now, it would appear we have a WCW original and the last person to hold the WCW World Championship at a WCW event.


(Booker-T enters the ring and acknowledges all the fans, before he has time to speak “Jerusalem” plays and out comes Finlay, William Regal & Drew Mcintyre with An English, Scottish & Irish Flag.


The Finish:


William Regal distracts the referee while Finlay slides a chair into Mcintyre. Booker kicked the chair into Mcintyre’s face. He then knocks Finlay off the apron and hits the Book-End on Mcintyre for the win.

The Winner: Booker-T via pin fall

The Aftermath:

Booker celebrates in the ring and is attacked with the English Flag by William Regal. Mcintyre & Finlay both get their respective flags and continue the beatdown on Booker until DDP heads to the ring and helps Booker. The Brits get back on top once again until Stevie Ray appears from the crowd and clears house. Harlem Heat & DDP celebrate in the ring and salute the crowd.



-Backstage-


Ric Flair is talking to Eric Bischoff and tells Bischoff he has his 3 men ready for tonight and guarantees that a WCW veteran will walk away with the WCW Championship, gives a quick woooo and walks off.


(Cut to Todd Grisham standing with Bret Hart in the locker room)


Grisham: Bret, tonight sees the television debut of the new Hart Foundation, what can we expect to see from the next generation of this notorious group.


Hart: Well, I’m perhaps not the ideal person to be talking about how good these guys are, but there’s someone here tonight who will be able to tell exactly. But I can tell you this. The Hart Foundation is being resurrected tonight and I guarantee that this is just the beginning of perhaps the best faction there ever will be.


(Bret Walks off)

The Hart Foundation v2.0 (Teddy Hart & DH Smith) V John Morrison & Kenny Dykstra w/ Melina



(Morrison & Dykstra are already stood in the ring and receive a reception of boo’s as they are announced; Bret Hart’s music hits and Bret appears he turns around and outcomes Teddy Hart & DH Smith accompanied by Jim Neidhart & “The Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart.” The crowd go wild merely at the sight of Bret but even for the members of The Hart Foundation v2.0)

Bischoff: (Looking horrified) Well Ric my other entrants come as a package.....The Outsiders....Scott Hall & Kevin NASH!!!!!

Flair: Well my next man has a score to settle with you big guy (points to Nash) Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome GOLDBERG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(Goldberg makes his usual entrance complete with security knocking on the door backstage etc, huge pop from the crowd. When Goldberg does get in the ring he goes straight up to Nash and stand toe-to-toe staring him out.)


Flair: And finally, The last entrant, and the man who is my best friend in Wrestling from the day i met him right up to this very day. Everybody raise your voice, because woooooooo THIS IS..........STIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGG!!!!

The Outsiders proceed to shake hands and congratulate Sting on his win along with Ric Flair as Nitro goes off the air.

 

[the_phenomenal1]

Due to the limit of only three shows per week, there will be no Smackdown or Thunder as I had previously planned. Therefore it will be down to

WWE Raw
WCW Nitro
ECW!

Also i will be deciding on set days of the week to put certain shows up, but due to it being a new thing i'm doing it's just a case of getting organised.

Raw: Monday
Nitro: Monday
ECW: Thursday.

For the sake of this week. 6th Jan Raw & Nitro are already up, so ECW will be up Thursday and things will then be set.

I would appreciate some feedback too as I have been putting quite a lot of time into this lately and have thus far only received one reply.

[Hyorinmaru]

I can't wait. the last show was good and I'm pretty sure the next one will be just as good. Don't feel bad that I'm the only one responding. That doesn't mean I'm the only one reading it. I'll even help promote it if you want.

10th January 2008
From Hammerstein Ballroom, New York

A Black screen, and chants of ECW is all that can be heard…the ECW intro video plays.

No pyro, no lit entranceway just the old Brickwork entrance with the steps in the Hammerstein Ballroom.

Joey Styles (JS): Ladies & Gentlemen welcome to the begging of a new era of ECW and we’ve been guaranteed by Paul Heyman that this will be the old ECW. No more damn zombies & vampires. Just the best hardcore action possible.

Foley: That’s right Joe, and we already know that tonight we’re going to have a four-team 8 man tag team free for all for the new ECW Tag-Titles, which should be awesome.

JS: and I’ve got shivers own my spine in the same way I did when we were here for One Night Stand.

(ECW Music starts & Paul Heyman makes his way to the ring, complete in long coat and an ECW hat. Chants of “Thank You Paul, ECW & F**k You Vince&#8221

Heyman: Welcome…to E……C……W!!!! And unlike the crap you’ve had to see disgrace the ECW name for the past year and a half, I personally guarantee that this will be the ECW you crazy bastards cheered for almost a decade. Now tonight, we know about the Tag-Team Title match, but seeing as this is our first proper show back, let’s make it the best damn wrestling event of the year. Now, CM Punk was stripped of his ECW title by Shane McMahon when he refused to join WWE the day before I had control of ECW. So I am bringing back the original ECW championship.

So tonight it’s going to be the man who first resurrected the ECW Championship RVD competing for the vacant ECW title. His opponent will be…..the last true ECW Champion………RHYNO!!!!!!! CM Punk!!! It’s undoubted that not taking the pay rise to join WWE was an admirable thing for you to do and therefore tonight you are going to have the opportunity to challenge for the ECW Television title. That’s not all, no way Jack!!! Because two ECW Originals are going to compete for the brand new ECW Hardcore Championship. It will be like it was in WWE, competed for under the 24 hour ruling and…..that match is up next after the commercial. So sit, back, relax and enjoy E…C…F’n…… W!!!!!!!!!!!! (Huge cheers from the crowd & ECW Chants.)

ECW Hardcore Championship
Raven v The Sandman

(Back from the commercial and eerie music plays into the arena then we hear “Quoth the Raven…Nevermore!!!.....Crowd go wild as Raven appears through the curtain…he stands at the top of the steps and gives no acknowledgement to the crowd just makes his way to the ring.)

The crowd cheer for Raven despite his lack of emotion, as he sits in the corner of the ring. His music stops and chants of Raven can be heard throughout the Ballroom until “Enter Sandman by Metallica plays in the arena. The camera’s whip around looking for the Sandman, until they pick him up on the balcony. Complete with Singapore Cane in hand, and a pocket full of beers. Sandman makes his way towards the ring in the usual way with the crowd singing along.

He gets in the ring with a Singapore cane. By now Raven has a 2x4 in his hand. The two look at each other and shake with their left hand. As they shake they each hit the other one with the weapon from their right hand and the match begins:

The Finish:
With both men bleeding after some vicious shots with just about every object you can imagine Raven sets up Sandman for the Raven-Effect DDT only for Sandman to spin out of it and DDT Raven. Raven gets to his feet first as Sandman is getting up in the corner. Raven attempts to clothesline Sandman in the corner but Sandman ducks, picks up a Singapore Cane, hits Raven with the White Russian leg sweep aided by the use of the Cane. Sandman gets the pin 1…2….3 to become the new hardcore champion.

Winner & New Hardcore Champion: Sandman!!

(We see CM Punk pacing up and down backstage)

-Commercial-

(CM Punk’s music hits and he makes his way down the stairs and towards the ring to a good reception from the crowd.)

JS: Well here’s the former ECW Champion CM Punk and right now he ha the chance to win the Television title but is there any way they can follow up the bloodbath we’ve just seen from Sandman & Raven?

Foley: I dunno Styles, but one thing I do know is after seeing that last match ECW is definitely back. But here’s the next generation of ECW, CM Punk and he has a massive opportunity right now.

(Shane Douglas’ music hits and he comes through the curtain with jeans and a Franchise T-Shirt on.)

Douglas: Hey Punk, Tonight you have been ‘rewarded’ with a shot at the Television title, but Punk, you won’t win that title, because your opponent tonight is my new protégée, I believe you know him quite well…..Colt Cabana!!!

ECW Television Title
CM Punk v ‘Classic’ Colt Cabana w/ Shane Douglas


The Finish:
After a match full of high spots combined with quality mat wrestling and vicious kicks & chair shots by both men, CM Punk hit Cabana with a Springboard Clothesline. He then signalled for the GTS. As he had Cabana on his shoulders, The Franchise came in the ring and clotheslined Punk. Cabana then hit the Colt 45 and pinned Punk to win his debut match in ECW and the Television title. He begins celebrating emphatically and kissing the belt, until Douglas slaps him across the face and orders him to calm down and hand over the belt. Cabana gives Douglas the belt and follows The Franchise back to the locker room.

Winner by pinfall: Colt Cabana

(A replay shows of what has just happened and then cut to the back where Douglas and “Classic Colt are talking.&#8221

Douglas: What did I tell you? I said when you win, you stay calm. If you want people to take you serious, you have to start acting it. You came to me and said Shane, I want to become the ECW Champion and I told you, we could only do it if you listen to me (slaps Cabana again) well?!?! Are you listening?!?! For a start you can get rid of this ridiculous get up. Do you look like a champion with these Smiley faces everywhere? Huh?

Cabana: (mutters) No

Douglas: Exactly, and another thing, you can stop with all this Classic thing. You aren’t classic yet, from now on you are just Colt Cabana!!! You will be classic when you have earned it! Now come on

(Douglas pushed the belt into cabana’s chest and walks off. Cabana follows)

JS: Well, Shane Douglas obviously showing Cabana that he has to take things serious n ECW. But up next, we’ve got the 8 man free for all for the ECW Tag-Team Titles!!

-Commercial-

(Balls to the wall playing and Balls Mahoney makes his way out with a steel chair in hand. He turns around and his partner Axl Rotten enters also with a chair. The two make their way to the ring to a rapturous applause.)

(Next to enter is Lance Storm & Justin Credible being accompanied by Dawn Marie, they get in the ring and do the Impact Player Pose. They receive quite a lot of heat from the crowd.)

This is very good stuff man, I love the recreation of the Monday night wars. I like that you just didnt give the ECW Title to RVD its good to see the favorite not win. Also the WCW storyline is very intriging with bischoff and flair. I will review your next shows more in depth but keep up the good work cant wait for the Rumble!!

Thanks a lot mate.

The ECW title situation i thought was fair because Rhyno was the last ECW champion so i thought that would add a new twist on that.

The storyline in WCW with Flair & Bischoff has even intrigued me. I have got the WCW title picture written right up to Wrestlemania!

So keep reading and ENJOY!!!

I like the storylines,promos and the match outcomes.Although you should try writing full matches and putting quote codes around the matches so people can pinpoint the matches if that's all they want to read.

Overall Grade (B-)

I've put the matches in quotes as you advised, and yes, it does look much better.

As for doing all of the matches. I'm really busy with university and thus don't have as much time as I would like to do the whole matches. But I do try to get enough in to give some meaning to them as opposed to just

Rhyno beat RVD etc...

But thanks for the feedback, and I appreciate the advice
