WWE: An Icon Presentation

Theo Mays · Feb 1, 2012

Bearded Review

I'm right with Jammy on this one. Throughout the reading I couldn't get into Stone Cold. I think you really missed the nail on that one and Stone Cold didn't really come across well. If you ever chose to get Stone Cold involved again with your show you might want to work on Austin promos. He is pretty easy to get the hang of, just watch some of his stuff. Sure it is repetitive, but it works. Why mess with it?

The concept in itself is a strong one. It is different and we don't see that here very often. Maybe it is something better suited for the lounge as it is just an interview segment, but many don't venture into the lounge and you clearly put a lot of work into this making it a solid non spam post.

Overall it wasn't terrible, but it needs some work. A lot of it was hit or miss for me, but the concept is unique and maybe with some more showings it could turn into something special and a key aspect to your book this. In the future when you have legends guest on take a look at promos from them and try and get into their character and mimic what they do best.

Preview

In a rematch from Backlash, the new WWE champion John Morrison, in his first title defence takes on his former friend and Backlash opponent, The Miz. With Miz calling Morrison's win a fluke and gaining the upperhand on the champion just 6 days away from Judgment Day, there is no denial that Miz is going to be as hungry to win the title as ever. But John Morrison is no easy deal. This is his first WWE championship and his first title defence and Morrison will be as ready as ever when Miz comes for him with his parkour and his determination. So can John Morrison beat his former partner and prove that he is the HBK of their team? OR will The Miz prove that he is indeed the most must-see champion in the history of the WWE?

The World Heavyweight championship hangs in the balance in a multiple-man match again! This time, four of SmackDown!'s top superstars collide in the same ring, at the same time for the top prize on Friday Nights. With Sheamus picking up two straight victories over the legendary Undertaker and picking up a big win in the mega tag-team match 2 days away from the PPV, he will surely be a force to watch out for. But, for Edge, this is his first title defence in months and he'll be geared up for his challenge and he has proven that he can beat the odds many times in the past. But, this is Christian's first major chance to win the World title and as he says, he won't let this go easily. It sure is going to be a hell of a ride for these three men as they have to go against each-other and the man who has already 7 championships in his pocket, The Phenom, The Undertaker. Can Edge outlast 3 opponents and retain his gold? Will Christian end his 17-year long drought? Will Sheamus prove that he is indeed the next top guy on SmackDown!? OR will The Undertaker walk away with the Holy Grail?

Who is Best In The World? That is the question on everybody's mind as Judgment Day nears. Two of the top, young superstars in the WWE battle it out for the rights to be called "Best In The World". On one side is the never-afraid-of-speaking-his-mind, Straight-Edge, Hardcore superstar CM Punk and on the other is the righteous Commander-in-chief of the CeNation, John Cena. CM Punk has already pushed Cena on the backfoot with his continous taunts of "You Can't Wrestle!". But Cena is not to be thrown around. He did come back with matters of his own. He does it for this business, he does it for the people and he does it day in and day out. With both superstars trying to prove their points, Judgment Day will surely be the deciding night. Will CM Punk silence his critics and prove that he is indeed better than anyone else who stepped foot in the business? OR will John Cena prove why he is the "face" of the WWE?

It's No Holds Barred!! One of the most brutal and barbaric matches in WWE history returns! And this time, it will be contested amongst two veterans of the game. Speaking of the game, one veteran is The King of Kings himself, Triple H and the other is, Chris Jericho. Jericho has not been afraid of saying what he believes, and what he believes is that Triple H is "a leech living off the McMahon family name". But Triple H knows or he thinks he knows that he is far from that and that whatever he has achieved in the WWE, is because of himself. Also, to make things hotter, Triple H's well-wisher and Jericho's fellow-Canadian, WWE Hall Of Famer, Bret "The Hitman" Hart will be present in the American Airlines Center in the corner of The Cerebral Assasin. Can Jericho outlast the odds and make his claim? OR will Triple H use the support of Bret Hart and his own experience to down the former 6-time World champion?

Also, Randy Orton takes on his former mentee and Legacy teammate, Cody Rhodes in one of the most personal battles. The United States championship will be on the line when the current champ Jinder Mahal takes on his arch nemesis Daniel Bryan, The Mexican Sensation Sin Cara and The Epitome of Perfection Dolph Ziggler in a fatal-4-way. Plus, the WWE Tag Team championships will be defended when The Broskis try to extend their winning streak to 6-0 and against the second-generation Uso Brothers. And, 3 of the top divas in the WWE, Trish Stratus, Candice Michelle and Kharma battle it out for the Women's championship.

All this and much more only on Judgment Day in WWE: An Icon Presentation

**End Video**

God Pounds His Nails by Fozzy blares out of the speakers and Michael Cole, Jerry The King Lawler and Booker T welcome us to WWE Judgment Day, the second pay-per-view under the reign of Michael Cooper. The camera pans around the American Airlines Center in Miami, Florida. They put over the main-event matches and also acknowledge Stone Cold Steve Austins verdict. The camera switches to Justin Roberts in the ring who announces the first match of the evening, the United States championship match.

**Perfection**

Dolph Zigglers music hits and he comes out to loud boos with his girlfriend and business associate, the Cougar, Vickie Guerrero. They pose at the ramp and ooze out heat. They walk down the ramp, hand-in-hand and taunt the crowd in the process. Dolph jumps onto the apron and takes off his jacket in his signature style and throws it in the crowd. He gets in the ring and climbs the turnbuckle and poses. He moves his hand around his waist signaling that he will win the U.S title.

**Ancient Spirit**

He runs down the ramp and jumps into the ring, pyros exploding on the stage at the landing. He takes a good look at Dolph and his lady and then climbs to the top rope and poses and the crowd continues to cheer him on.

**Ride Of The Valkyries**

Daniel Bryans music hits and he comes out to the loudest pop of the three. He pounds his heart and then points towards the crowd. He signals that he is going to win the title and moves forward. He raises his finger in the air and swirls it around as he gets down to the ring. He gets in the ring and climbs the turnbuckle and poses which gets him more pops. He gets down and starts warming up for the big opening match.

**Main Yash Hun**

The U.S champion finally walks out in a sherwani (Indian trench-coat) and padgi (Indian turban) with his bodyguard and brother-in-law, Great Khali by his side. He slowly walks down the ramp taunting the crowd and his opponents. Both men get in the ring and Mahal points towards the title around his waist. Khali lifts Mahal on his shoulders and Mahal poses with the title. Khali starts a chant for Mahal in Hindi which no one understands but the crowd still boos the champion.

Mahal wins out of nowhere! Mahal wins out of nowhere!
Winner and still U.S champion: Jinder Mahal

Mahal celebrates empathetically after a grueling and exhilarating match. He shows his retained championship to the world after climbing the turnbuckle and Miami boos as his challengers, Dolph, Bryan and Cara are all down and out. Mahal gets down and goes out of the ring but continues his celebration with the title. He taunts the crowd as he retreats up the ramp. He shows off his belt to the WWE Universe and then lifts the championship high above his head on the stage. He then proceeds to kiss it as the crowd continues to boo him. We go backstage where Todd Grisham has a guest for us.

Todd: Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time, Chris Jericho.

*The crowd boos as Jericho enters the frame*

Todd: Chris, what are your feelings on Bret Hart aligning himself with your opponent Triple H tonight?

Jericho: What are my feelings? I feel betrayed. I feel betrayed by my childhood hero. The man who I grew up watching. My idol, my trainer, my hero, a fellow Canadian who I thought was always with me throughout my career. And he ends up supporting a guy who I despise so much. You would feel the same thing Todd.

*The crowd shows no sympathy for Jericho*

Jericho: But, I dont care anymore. I dont care because Bret Hart is just like one of these parasites in Miami. One of those hypocrite of a legend who comes back for one final run to get that paycheck they cant earn by doing something else because they are too old to.

*Boos at the insult of the legends*

Jericho: I dont care because Bret Hart is a waste of space. He is the worst excuse of a human being. Hes got no class. Hes got no skills. Hes got no self-respect. After being screwed and thrown out of the company, Bret Hart comes back and sides with Shawn Michaels best friend and Vince McMahons son-in-law, Triple H. And he does that not because he believes in what Triple H says, but because he wants a fatter sum of money which hell get only if he licks the son-in-laws butt.

*The crowd boos heavily for that statement*

Jericho: But, I dont want to get affected by a man so boring. My focus right now is my opponent for tonight, Triple H. I know I can beat him and I will beat him. Tonight, right here in the American Airlines Center, I will beat Triple H in a match he hand-picked to punish me, No Holds Barred.

*The crowd cheers for the extreme match*

Jericho: But his plan is going to back-fire when I get into that ring and finish him off, bone by bone, bleed him and continue to beat him till he cant stand on his own two legs. I wont stop my assault until I have done what I am here for, and what I am here for is sending Triple H to hell. And Triple H always says its time to play the game and he loves to play. But Triple H, let me tell you something, I am a better player!

*Jericho walks off to a chorus of boos and we switch scenes to where Edge is talking to the hot Maryse*

Edge: Yeah, I like those curves.

Maryse: And I like those muscles.

Edge: How about meeting tonight after my match?

Maryse: Sure. And Id love to see you with the World Heavyweight championship.

Edge: You can be sure of that too.

*Lita enters the scene which brings huge cheers from the crowd*

Edge: Maryse, well meet soon.

*Edge motions Maryse to leave and she does*

Lita: Hey.

Edge: Hi. How are you doing?

Lita: Im good and by the way, congratulations and good luck.

Edge: Thank you.

*Theres a moment of silence before Edge starts speaking again*

Edge: We havent met in a few years, right?

Lita: Seems like youre too busy. But Ive been watching you, and let me tell you, you are growing rapidly as a good performer.

Edge (to himself): Unlike you.

Lita: Excuse me, I heard that. Anyways, I wished you luck because I strongly believe, unlike your new girlfriend Maryse, that you are going to lose your World Heavyweight championship tonight.

???: And Ill tell you who hes going to lose it to.

*They turn around and see Christian standing there in his ring-gear. He walks to them*

Christian: I am going to beat Edge and become the new World Heavyweight champion. Because Edge you know it, Ive been waiting for too long to let this chance slip out of my hand. Edge, you had the support of Vince McMahon, John Cena and Lita to help propel you to the main-event scene. But I havent been so lucky.

*He gets closer to Edge*

Christian: But every dog has its day. And my day is today. You see 17 years after I began my career, my best chance to become World Heavyweight champion comes to me and I am not letting it go away. I will win the Fatal-4-Way tonight and I will walk out of Miami the new World Heavyweight champion. And you can still be flirting!

*Christian storms off as Lita and Edge look on*

Lita: You seriously need to focus on your match, dear.

*Lita leaves too leaving Edge expressionless as we go back to ringside*

*Candice Michelle comes in bringing in huge cheers*

Candice: How are things going?

Trish: Good. Better than yours are.

Candice: You may have been mistaken, Trish. My things are far better than yours. You see, I am the first diva in the WWE to beat Kharma in one-on-one competition. And I will be the diva to beat Kharma again, this time including you, to become the new Womens champion.

*Mixed reactions*

Trish: Hmm. Candice, when you pinned Kharma one-on-one, I was there. I helped you. Without me, your fate would have been just like the other divas. You wouldve been squashed by Kharma.

*Cheers for the Womens champion*

Trish: And besides, nobody believes you have a chance in our match tonight. Its either me or Kharma. And to be honest, I dont believe Kharma can win either. You see Kharma, shes on fire right now, but she cant take down the diva of the decade and nor can you.

Candice: Trish, you were the diva of the decade because I wasnt there at that time. The truth is, I am a better diva than you are and I am NOT an afterthought in our match tonight. If it wasnt for me, you would have already been battered by Kharma.

*Some boos for Candice*

Candice: And let me tell you one more thing before I leave. Trish, you might be the diva who revolutionized womens wrestling, but I am the one who will carry it in this day and era. Trish, your reign as Womens champion, tonight, comes to an abrupt end. And the only thing youll hear after that, is Justin Roberts announcing me as the new WWE Womens champion!

He goes to hit Chokeslam but Heath Slater, Gabriels partner comes to his rescue.

Slater: Kane, Kane, please. Please, leave him alone. Please.

Kane: WHERE IS HE!!

Slater: I dont know who youre talking about. Nobody knows who youre talking about. Kane, where is who?

Kane: WHERE IS HE!!!?

*Kane lets go off Gabriel and he falls into another table*

Kane moves closer to Slater and then slams his skull into the wall. Slater goes down in a heap holding his head as Kane walks off disrupting the backstage scene, throwing off stuff. The camera fades away as the crowd boos the Big Red Monster. We go to ringside for our tag team match.

*Barrett turns around to leave but sees Michael Cooper standing near the door. The crowd pops loud*

Mike: Wade Barrett. I heard that entire communication. And since you were going to forge your medical certificate, I am going to fine you fifty thousand dollars for doing so. And Stephanie McMahon, since you agreed to the forging, you are going to be fined twenty five thousand dollars.

*The crowd cheers for the decision as both Barrett and Stephanie look pissed off*

Mike: And Barrett, tomorrow night if you dont show up on RAW, Ill make sure you dont show your face on WWE programming ever again. And that is a direct order from the Chief Executive Officer of the company you work for, World Wrestling Entertainment. So show up or get fired. The choice is yours.

*The crowd cheers for the CEO as he walks off leaving Barrett with a bad taste in his mouth as we go to another locker where Miz is taping up*

*Sheamus comes in bringing in loud boos*

Miz: What are you doing here, fella?

Sheamus: I figured you might just need some good luck.

Miz: Luck is for losers. And by the scene of the World Heavyweight championship match, youre certain to lose. I am not. You see you are the one who has just a mere twenty-five percent chance of winning. While I, I am going to win the WWE championship tonight. And that is hundred percent certain.

*The crowd boos Mizs arrogance*

Sheamus: You know what, you might have had the last laugh over Morrison. But everybody knows that you cant do a shit about what you think of him. Everyone knows he can own you with his eyes blindfolded, any and everyday of the week. Everyone knows that he is going to beat you tonight.

*Cheers for Sheamus, for the moment*

Sheamus: And besides, the numbers dont matter. Twenty-five percent or just five, technically, it doesnt matter to me. I know that I have the momentum on my side. I know that I won the mega tag-team match this past Friday on SmackDown!. I know that I have beaten The Undertaker twice in two consecutive matches. I know that I can walk out the World Heavyweight champion and I will, right here tonight.

*The boos start settling on Sheamus*

Sheamus: And then, Im going to prove why I am the most successful youngster in the WWE. Im going to prove why I am the rightful face of the WWE. I am going to prove why I am the best World Heavyweight champion in a long-long time. I am going to prove why I am the future of the WWE!

Miz: Really? Really? The future of the WWE, you? Really? Sheamus, you are by no means the future of the WWE. I AM! You are just a guy from Europe who got his break in the WWE because he worked with a legend who I dont want to name. But I have worked my way through the ashes and now I am on top of my game.

*The crowd continues to boo*

Miz: I am the next true face of the WWE. I am on MTV. I am on TMZ. I am on Nickelodeon. I am on late night shows. I host award shows and I win many of them. I am the perfect role-model for the next generation. I am the man who can carry this company on my shoulders with the utmost respect without ever failing to do what I have to. And now, tonight, after beating that parkour popper, I will prove all of this when I become the new and most-must see WWE champion in the history of the WWE!!

*Boos for the catchphrase*

Miz: And you know why you cant do what I can. Because you are a big, white, in-need-of-a-tan Irish monster. While I, I am The Miz and Im AWESOME!!!

*Miz storms off leaving Sheamus in the room*

Sheamus: Possum.

*The crowd cheers that statement as we go to ringside for our next match*

*CM Punk is walking backstage but stops suddenly*

Punk: Look who it is!

*The camera zooms out and we see John Morrison with the WWE championship*

Punk: How are you Johnny boy?

Morrison: I am good. And I am the WWE champion.

*Cheers from the crowd*

Punk: Well, congratulations. But let me tell you, you wont remain that way. Tonight, after I beat the other John, John Cena that is

*Punk is interrupted by a loud pop for Cena*

Punk: Hahahaha. Let me make myself clear Johnny. After I beat Cena tonight, I will be coming straight for your WWE championship and I wont stop until I have it. So you can cherish this moment, this pleasure because IF you walk out of tonight as the WWE champion, I will beat you and take that title.

*Mixed reactions for Punk*

Morrison: You know what Punk, I am familiar with you ever since our ECW days. Remember, I beat you twice for the ECW championship? I know that you like to talk a lot and you do. But, when it comes to showing it up in the ring, you just fall short of me by an inch. You might be one of the most exciting wrestlers in the world, but I am John Morrison. I am not one of the, but THE most exciting wrestler in the world. And I am the WWE champion.

*Cheers for the champion*

Morrison: And I dont care if you or anybody else is coming after me because I am the champion and I have set a target on my back and I know it. So WHEN and not if I beat The Miz tonight, Ill be ready for you. That is of course, IF you manage to beat the other John. John Cena that is.

*Another huge pop for Cena goes off*

Punk: And so you be ready. Because as I said, I dont stop until I have what I want. Tonight, I want to prove that I am Best In The World. And after I do that, all I would want is the WWE championship.

Morrison: Well, all I can say is good luck and good bye.

*Morrison walks off*

Punk: Good riddance.

*Scott Stanford comes in with a mic*

Scott: Punk, can you lend me a minute?

Punk: I could lend you two.

Scott: Well then, Punk. This past Monday on RAW, you said that tonight, there is going to be war between you and John Cena. Could you please elaborate on that?

Punk: Elaborate, huh? Well then, listen. First off all, let me repeat what I have been saying all this while. I HATE John Cena the character. But, but, I respect John Cena the man. I respect the things he has done for this business but I hate the way he does them.

*More mixed reactions for Punk*

Punk: But, I know that tonight, John Cena the man is going to give it anything and everything to save John Cena the character because that is what he loves the most. And I know that I am in for a tough battle with him. The only thing I dont know is how he is going to come. But, I dont care about that. You see, thats the difference between me and him. Hes John Cena and Im CM Punk.

*Cheers for Punk*

Punk: Cena, hes a planner. He plans things out and executes his plans. And I maybe sounding a lot like Heath Ledger from The Dark Knight, but I am NOT a planner. I am a doer. You see, the advantage is, if Cenas plan fails tonight, he leaves being humiliated. But my plan wont fail. Because I dont have a plan. I dont have a strategy. All I have is a talent that is unmatched and I am going to use it to win!

*A CM Punk! chant goes off in the arena*

Punk: But I know that Cena wont lose so easily. Just like its for me, for him too, everything is at stake. The pride, the plan, the character, those values of Hustle, Loyalty and Respect and the tag of being the face of the WWE. I know, I can see it in his eyes, Cena is not playing tonight. Hes come here to win and hes going to do a lot to get that victory. But I am no pawn. I am no knight. I am the king and I will win tonight.

*The chant continues to fill up the arena*

Punk: So what I am basically saying, is that, Heath Ledger again, John Cena is the immovable object and I am the unstoppable force. And do you know what happens when the unstoppable force hits the immovable object. A war is on the charts.

*Punk walks off to cheers as Scott remains standing and we go to ringside*

*The crowd cheers for that*

Cody: And what if you dont.

Mike: That wont happen Cody. That wont happen. You can be sure of that. I request you to leave for now.

*Cody regains his composure, lets Teddy go and then walks off*

Bourne: Ill give it a shot.

*Bourne and Nikki do a salsa on hip-hop music and the announcers have a laugh*

*Joe Hennig comes in and brings in cheers*

Kozlov: Another guy. Hi Joe.

Hennig: Umm, guys, Im not here to dance. I want to get something off my chest.

Santino: Hair?

*The crowd laughs for that*

Hennig: Umm, Santino, Kozlov and Evan, I wanted to say something.

Santino: The girls are Nikki and Brie.

Bourne: Shut up Santino. Come on Joe, whats wrong?

Hennig: Guys, I am sorry for what happened on RAW this Monday. I didnt mean to lose the match for our side.

Santino: Oh come on, thats okay.

*Mason Ryan comes in to mixed reactions*

Santino: You want to dance too, buddy?

Ryan: First off, I am not your buddy. I am Mason Ryan. And I just wanted to warn those of you who will be participating in tomorrows battle royal, I am in that match.

Ryder: Hey bro.

Cena: Hi. And congratulations for your victory tonight. Six and O, huh?

Ryder: Yeah, six and o. But were not here for that. Did you hear what Punk had to say?

Cena: I did. And I believe he is right in one sense and one sense only. Tonight, its going to be nothing less than a war. World War. Its CM Punks marks or smarks or whatever you want to call them led by Punk himself against me and the entire CeNation. And I hope you two are in the latter.

Hawkins: We are John. No doubt about it. We are here to support you and we know that youre gonna win.

Cena: Thanks bro. And not only you two know that Im gonna win, but the entire WWE Universe and myself, all of us know that I am going to win. Theres only one person I have to prove it to, and that man is my opponent, CM Punk.

*Mixed reactions for Punk*

Cena: Tonight, where nothing else matters I will take on CM Punk in a war and I will win. Not because I want to prove that I am Best In The World because I am not and I admit it. I will win because I want to prove to Punk that he is nowhere near Best In The World. Hes still got a long-long way to go.

*The die-hard Punk fans boo*

Cena: And tonight, I wont stop until I get what I want and what I want is to lead Punk to the road of Hustle, Loyalty and Respect. Tonight, Punk faces the truth. Punk faces the reality. And Punk faces his biggest challenge up to date, John Cena.

*Cheers for the CeNation Commander-in-Chief*

Ryder: And youre gonna win tonight, right?

Cena: Woo Woo Woo. You Know IT!

*Cena leaves to cheers and we go to ringside for the World Heavyweight championship match*

*Drew McIntyre appears and knocks at the back window*

*Del Rio opens the door and gets out*

Alberto: Whats the matter?

Drew: Whats the matter with me? Whats the matter with you? You promised me another million Euros if our team won. And we did.

Alberto: Hmm. Did you pick up the victory? Did you save me from Mason Ryan? No. So what do you want a million Euros for? For being a jerk and playing third fiddle? If thats the case, then you may well take a loan and repay it. With interest.

Drew: So you are hypocrite arent you? Alberto, forget the million Euros, now I am coming for your Intercontinental championship. Tomorrow night on RAW, I will win the battle royal and I will face you for the Intercontinental championship. And guess what, Ill take it from you.

*Cheers for Drew for the first time in his life*

Alberto: Drew, you need to calm down. Because if I want, I could send you back all the way to Scotland where you can try fixing your broken dreams. And maybe, just maybe, youll be successful, because I wont come to that dirty rotten place. And if youre looking to win the battle royal, all I can say is good luck. And if you happen to beat the other lackeys, you wont beat me and that is a given.

*Boos for the arrogant Del Rio*

Alberto: What I did with Kofi Kingston, I can do with you. And theres no denial that I am more powerful than you. In talent and in economy. So, if you happen to win the battle royal, I will have already selected your destiny. And that is to lick my feet after I make you tap out. But you, you already know that.

*Alberto winks at Drew and gets in the car. The car speeds off leaving Drew in rage as we go to another locker where Josh Matthews is standing with a guest*

Josh: Ladies and gentlemen my guest at this time, the United States champion, Jinder Mahal.

*Boos at the sight of Mahal*

Josh: First off all, congratulations on your victory tonight. Now, Jinder, how do you feel after tonights win?

Mahal: Thats easy Josh. Tonight I didnt do something extra-ordinary. I just took a couple of useless Americans and a faceless Mexican and gave them the worst beating of their lives. Tonight, I did what I said I was going to do. I retained MY United States championship.

*More boos for the Indian*

Mahal: Tonight, I just proved that all of the Americans put together are no match for their king, me, the United States champion, Jinder Mahal. And theres no denial that I am not powerful than each and everyone in this building, in this city, in this country. I am here not only to make money and be successful, I am here to lead you fat Americans to the path of morality. To the path of success.

*The crowd cant stop booing Mahal*

Mahal: Tonights victory was just a stepping stone. I still have to climb a lot more steps to reach to the top. To reach the apex of success just so that I can be the perfect role model for the American kids and get them to stop eating and farting to actually doing something useful for their lives, for their careers. I will take all of you senseless Americans and transform you into role models for the others and I will make this country a better place to live in.

*A You Suck! chant begins*

Mahal: I dont suck. You do. But I will work my ass off just to ensure that you dont suck anymore and I will work to ensure that U.S.A will finally be worth of the attention it receives from the rest of the world. And believe me, the one person who will achieve all this is me, the King of the United States of America, Jinder Mahal.

*Mahal walks off to boos as we go to ringside for the final match of the evening*

Bearded Review

-Alright Icon, as promised here is that review. Running short of time at work, so everything won't get a bullet point. However I'll try to get to everything. Lets dance, shall we?

-Mahal winning was the right move. If I recall he just won the championship and it is a strong win by defeating three other opponents here in Sin Cara, Ziggler, and Bryan. Smart move and I look forward to Mahal's run. I'm not hugely fond of him, but this is easy booking and Mahal works as US champ.

-Good promo with Jericho and I really expect Hart to turn more than I did before. Hart hates Triple H in kayfabe (and hell in real life he did as well) so it would make leaps sense. The Edge/Maryse thing, wasn't really feeling it. It was just there and really could have done without honestly.

-Cody and Orton was absolutely fabulous. Nothing wrong at all. Well written and one of my favorite matches of the night. Divas segment, again unsure about it. Trish again comes off heelish with Candice yet I'm under the belief she is the face as she gets cheered later on. Just didn't feel it really. Divas don't get much time on the mic so it is hard to judge them, but Trish just felt off.

-Kane segment was nice, looking forward to who "he" is. I'm wondering if he is actually Kane. Would be an interesting plot twist and would fit his psychotic demeanor. Tag team match was well done. Broskis stay hot, smart move. Wonder what team will be brought in to put an end to their run.

-Again another backstage segment that felt off. Barrett has a sly way about him and while cowardly sometimes, he really comes off more smooth in that matter. This just didn't seem like Barrett. I can't see him portraying a cowardly heel. But here is a backstage segment that worked with Miz and Sheamus. Though the cuss from Sheamus wasn't needed or was Miz mentioning Triple H I'd assume. Everything else worked. Miz's promo sort of reminded me of the one I cut with him before OTL on Kingston. Sheamus also looked strong boasting his growing accomplishments.

-Triple H/Jericho was excellent. And the Hart turned happened, as expected. Lets see where this goes. Wonder if Jericho will stay aligned for Hart or if Hart is just gonna disappear and Jericho and Triple H continue. Wasn't feeling the Punk/Morrison stuff. Wasn't feeling Morrison, but it go better. It was Punk who felt off. After Morrison wished him luck, Punk would have been better off saying something like "I don't need luck, luck is for losers." That fits Punk's motto more than good riddance. The second part of Punk's promo was solid. The referencing of Ledger was solid (though not needed the second time). It really hyped the match up, well done.

-Divas match, well written and Trish came off heelish again. I'm unaware at this point if she is a face or not. I expect something with her and Kharma to continue on. Cody's promo was solid. Cooper should have booked Long in a tag team match playa. Nice GAB poster

.

-Morrison and Miz was fabulous. Well written and beautifully done. However (this is a nitpick) at the end Morrison asked the ref to raise his hand. Faces don't do that really as the ref would just do it. Segment with the party was just uh not really needed, but filler nonetheless. Cena and Broskis segment worked. Could a screwing be in order for Cena?

-Fatal 4 Way was perfecto. Christian winning is a nice touching moment and you just feel his emotions. Well done though it seems everyone is going with the Christian feel good approach. Nothing wrong with that, just saying it will get old soon. ADR/DrewMc was ok. You seem to have ADR down, but Drew felt off. Heel/heel is hard to work sometimes. Jinder Mahal promo was the best backstage segment of the night in my eyes, well done.

-And now the main event. Exceptionally written and the best match of the night, as expected. However the ending wasn't something I was a fan of. The whole ripping the BITW shirt would work if Cena was up against a super heel, but these two are both in that tweener range. Maybe just draping over Punk would have been a better touch or just throwing in the crowd. Either way it doesn't look like Punk/Cena is done so I look forward to seeing how this advances.

-Overall the show was well written. The matches were solid from top to bottom, but the backstage stuff needed some work. Keeping working on that and you'll have a great show throughout with very little to critique. You obviously have match writing down, now just work on promos and backstage stuff. Watch videos of superstars to get their style down in promos and just to relay that in words. Keep up the work though and I look forward to seeing where we go from here.

GCBs FEEDBACK
WWE JUDGEMENT DAY

Right Mr. Icon, time to feedback to you on the Judgement Day I scored worst on the predictions so it is fair to say I probably disagreed with your chosen results; however, Ive read the matches so I get an idea of how and why you decided to go with the results you did. Ill get the praise out of the way now. As I said to Workhorse, you dont want to constantly hear me telling you how great it was. It was a good, solid PPV and I enjoyed it a lot, you can still improve it and hopefully my input here can help you to make the next PPV even better!

Formatting, Presentation and Basics:
I have to say that I like the way you present your show, it is simple and clear and not too cluttered it makes it nice and easy to read and understand. Im not a fan of your choice of colour with the yellow-orange text but thats just a little thing. You use bold and alignment well and your matches are written in a way that makes it detailed enough without being overbearing. Not much more to say on that, youre doing a good job with it. On with the action ...

A nice video package to start the night and then we move onto the first match which will be for the US Championship Jinder Mahal defending against Dolph Ziggler, Sin Cara and Daniel Bryan. Tall order for the new champion here but I suspect that you are building him up more than he has been in real life and he has just won the title recently. You made the right decision as well, Jinder wins and retains the title. By going the anti-American route with him, being US Champion should be entertaining and Mahal should become a good heel rather than the lame one he is in real life. Good start to the show.

Didnt particularly feel the Jericho promo, maybe you need to watch some Jericho clips on YouTube. I felt he said too much Jericho is slow and methodical and as a result he doesnt say much but what he does say means something. I think Jericho wouldnt have been interested in Bret Hart being on Triple Hs side, hed have been much more arrogant about the situation. Edge chatting up Maryse and an awkward moment when Lita arrives hes had Lita and now hes after Maryse, this guy is on a real roll, lucky sod. Anyway, its all a cue for Christian to come in and declare that his dream will come true tonight. Hmmm. Not liking the plucky dreamer getting his big wish at Judgement Day story. Ive got a feeling that this promo here says that Christian could well win the title tonight and were heading for Edge vs. Christian yet again on BT. Take some advice if you decide to try Edge vs. Christian down the line, it better be good because it has been done so often it makes my eyes hurt.

Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes is next and just like the last match I think that the underdog needs the win so thats my prediction. Rhodes is coming off a big win at WrestleMania over Mysterio and he needs to continue the momentum as you take him to the top. OK, the match is a good one, good work with Rhodes mask there at the end, Orton manages to swerve everyone and uses the mask to distract Rhodes for the RKO to win. The lack of a clean finish says this will continue and I urge you to make Cody look stellar in this feud. He doesnt have to win the last one but have him win sometime over Orton and make him a top guy on SMACKDOWN. Next up is Trish Stratus and Candice Michelle here Trish is face yes? Some heelish comments there. Is Candice heel? Bit confusing the Divas Championship match should be cool though. Id have gone with Trish and Kharma and left Candice out but Ill see how it goes. Now, Kane attacks Gabriel and wants to know WHERE IS HE? intriguing! Who is Kane talking about and why would Gabriel know? Slater sounds like a little girl at the end Please, please leave him alone, Kane, or else Ill skweam and skweam and skweam until I make myself sick!

Tag Team Titles on the line now, Broskis and Usos which seems a little ... dull. I like the Broskis and the 6-0 streak thing but the Usos were never a credible threat to them. As expected, the Broskis win and it seemed a little lacklustre. You need to really shake up that Tag Team division to ensure youre not relying on the likes of the Usos IMO. Stephanie and Barrett confrontation, Barrett wants tomorrow night off because he is scared of Big Show. Bless him. Not liking the Michael Cooper thing there, fining them both? $50000 fine for Barrett for asking Steph to bend the rules? Harsh. This was a PPV and you had an encounter on here that didnt need to be on the PPV (unless something happens later on) as it is just to hype up RAW not what a PPV should be about. That could have happened early on RAW tomorrow night rather than taking up room on the PPV.

Miz and Sheamus are two great guys, two great heels and two great microphone talkers. However, a promo with them slating each other is a bit wrong. Miz and Sheamus have no business insulting each other, theyre both heels. Get the faces involved. Also, the comment from Miz about Sheamus mentor (not named but we know its Triple H) a bit too marky for me. Not needed. Right, time for Triple H vs. Jericho, No Holds Barred and this should be a humdinger. What a great match that was and what a surprise at the end there, Bret Hart turns on Triple H. You had me fooled. It explains a lot about Jerichos promo earlier on. Good work, good swerve there. Best match so far by a country mile, my friend. Punk gives the WWE Champion John Morrison some grief and promises to come for him afterwards CM Punk vs. John Morrison could be fun and youre sowing some seeds. Im not sure if theyre red herrings or not but always good to make the reader consider your next move. The good luck and bye comment at the end though for Morrison was a bit of a lame finish. The interview with Punk that followed was well written, I can hear Punk saying those words in my head. Well done, he isnt easy to write for.

The Saturday Night Verdict my verdict is that it was a good idea but I didnt really think it helped move any stories on so I wouldnt have wasted my time. Maybe you could get feuding guys on it next time rather than legends? I cant see Austin being nice about the guys like he was and discussing their chances in so much detail, it doesnt fit his persona. Jury out on that one. Divas Championship time and it will be Trish Stratus, the champion, Candice and the certainly not pregnant Kharma tonight. Good, solid Divas match but the ending was wrong for me (a) Why didnt the referee disqualify Trish for using the belt? And (b) Why was the face Trish using the belt like that in the first place? Very confusing match ending. Cody not happy with the outcome of the Orton match, rematch on SMACKDOWN. Michael Cooper again, now he isnt happy with Teddy Long. Is he trying to sack both his General Managers? Hes coming across as a real p**** at the moment (no offence meant) ...

Miz and Morrison for the WWE Championship I reckon Miz should win this match every time because he is far superior to JoMo in every aspect BUT I think Morrison winning the title only recently means that he will win it and get a big win to validate him as champion. And he does. Nice, solid win and a well written match yet again. Your match writing is excellent, its so clear and the detail is spot on. Santino and Kozlovs party can I ask what the point of it was? Again, you seemed to be hyping up the following RAW rather than making the PPV better. My biggest criticism of this too much focus on TV shows, PPVs shouldnt be about advertising TV! Nice exchange between the Broskis and Cena there though, sets the scene for the Punk-Cena match well. That belonged on the PPV!

World Championship time, Edge is champion, Sheamus and Undertaker are in the match but the winner will be Christian (I think) youre going to do Edge and Christian by the looks of it. And Im right. OK, heres where you could have gotten rid of the unnecessary promos and used the time better. You only gave the Edge and Christian side of things in the build up through the night. Sheamus argued with Miz, Taker not seen. It made it obvious that either (a) Christian won or (b) Edge would win and do the dirty on Christian. Sheamus and Taker were never ever going to win this, it was clear. Excellent match, again, as expected it is Christian who wins and achieves his dream. Like I said earlier, be careful with Edge vs. Christian in the rematch it will get boring if it just like every other version.

More heel vs. heel arguments with Del Rio and Drew. All to set up Drew McIntyre forsaking a million Euros (why would he do that?) and going for the IC Title on RAW instead. More hype for RAW on the PPV not needed! Del Rio was badly written here, you didnt get him right at all, mate. He needs more broken Spanglish, youve got him speaking as if he is an English linguist at times! Small thing as well but $50000 fine for Barrett, $25000 fine for Steph, 1 million Euros for Drew? The numbers are exaggerated too much. Id avoid stating the monetary amounts if I was you! Good interview with Jinder Mahal (although it should have waited for TV next week does nothing to forward tonights storylines) and he is insulting the USA now, good move.

Main event time, Cena vs. Punk who is the best in the world? Well, not Cena, as he told us earlier but he is intent on proving Punk isnt as well. Hmmm. You highlighted this match as being about the title Best in the World but Cena earlier says that he isnt the best in the world anyway. Follow it up, make Cena believe he is or just make the match about Cena proving that Punk isnt. Great match, another stunner and it is John Cena who wins it I didnt think he would to be honest. Like the touch with Cena and the t-shirt afterwards but I agree with Theo that it was a bit heelish he could have just held it up and laughed at it or handed it back to Punk to make his point.

Great PPV, better than last time. Still room for improvement particularly around the promos selecting the right types of promos and using them correctly and at the right time is a big one and some of them (Del Rio in particular) were off and Id suggest watching some YT clips. However, the matches were excellent, there are lots of routes you can go from here with the storylines and I look forward to reading your next batch of TV and PPV.

Well done mate,
GCB

Workhorse Review

Okay, Mr Icon Ive had a look at Judgement Day!

This will probably be as short as I can make it as well.

Kick things off with the Fatal-4-Way. 4 very solid but very different mid card talents here and you pulled off a nice match. Right move giving Mahal the win. Although I dont really care much for him in real life, youre building him up and this win solidifies him as a firm mid-carder, so it looks like youve got that headed in the right direction.

Jerichos backstage promo was okay, but I didnt really feel it 100%. The way he spoke hints a Hart heel turn? You seem to have his vocabulary down pat which is good but I just think it was a little off. Jericho is a pretty tough guy to write and considering he hasnt been around for 18 months, we havent had much exposure from him. Saying that I have faith that you will only get better!

Orton and Rhodes, nothing really wrong with this just a great, well written match. Finish was fitting as we see Rhodes try and cheat but it backfires and Orton hits an RKO. A little generic but hey, you pulled it off! I like the look of these two together so I hope you can build a big feud out of it. I feel in their real life feud, Cody never got one up on Orton by pinning him or whatever, so I expect that youll give Rhodes a few more wins then the WWE did. You started that well with a loss where he doesnt look weak at all.

Okay, onto the tag team action. I love that youre using Ryder and Hawkins as the Broskis. I believe
That had Ryder not of gotten so over; this team could have been pulled off. The match was shortish but both teams got a good amount of exposure and offence. I liked the way the match finished. I look forward to seeing how you book the tag team division because from what I can tell youve built these 2 teams nicely.

Interesting segment with Barrett, Steph and Cooper. Ill see where that one goes on RAW. Solid promo from Miz as well.

Great match between Hunter and Jericho! Awesome match and there is the turn! Hart costs Triple H. Hopefully something big comes from this so I will be waited excitedly.

Divas Match was solid. Youre using the better quality Divas which is always a good thing!

Awesome Great American Bash poster BTW!

Now onto Morrison vs. Miz. Two guys I one day hoped wed see square off for the WWE Championship. (Slim chances at this stage) You pulled it off magnificently. Youve completely put Morrison over as WWE Champ and solidified him. One thing, as Theo mentioned, not sure about him asking to have his hand raised but that is a very minor blemish on an otherwise great segment.

Now onto the Fatal 4 Way. Great match between 4 stars of the WWE! All 4 guys got good offence and all of them looked like they would win at some point. Christian winning was a nice tough and I see a Christian/Edge or Christian/Sheamus feud coming from the match. Great stuff.

Interesting segment between McIntyre and Alberto - Alberto seemed fine but Drew never clicked for me. I will be waiting to see what happens tomorrow night. Jinders promo was terrific! Exceptional vocab and transference, it felt real!

Finally, the last match of the night. The mainevent. Who is the best in the world? Firstly, this match was MOTN by far. An excellent match. The ending, eh Im not 100% sure about. I feel you didnt want to make Punk look weak by getting buried by Cena, but I think that Cena could have looked a little stronger getting the win. This is only a very minor issue because the rest of the match was awesome.

Overall, the matches were outstanding. You wrote them well and were all easy and enjoyable to read. The card was so solid throughout the whole PPV there was no real lull. The backstage segments were not as great but most of them achieved what needed to be achieved while still being solid. So in conclusion, great PPV Mr. Icon, cant wait for the next show!

Top work,
WH

The Fallout from Judgment Day!!!

This week RAW will be live from Tampa, Florida where John Morrison who beat The Miz on Judgment Day to retain his WWE championship will have a few words for the WWE Universe as we head to the patriotic pay-per-view The Great American Bash. He sure will talk about his past and his future challengers but exactly what he will have to say, only one man knows - John Morrison himself!

Speaking of the WWE championship and it's challengers, The Miz, the man who lost to John Morrison for the WWE championship will also be on Monday Night RAW to speak to the WWE championship and it's a given that he has some strong words for the champion John Morrison. But what will he say? Will he challenge Morrison again? Will Morrison accept?

John Cena and CM Punk went to war on Sunday in the main-event of Judgment Day. This week on RAW, both will be present and have some words for each-other. And John Cena will force CM Punk to say those lines of "I am NOT the Best In The World" and that "John Cena is the true hero of the WWE Universe". Will CM Punk say those words? What role will Cena play?

At Judgment Day, it was one of the most booed moments when Bret "The Hitman" Hart turned on Triple H and hit him with a sledgehammer allowing Chris Jericho to walk out with the victory. Though he didn't explain as to why he did that on Sunday, on Monday, just 24 hours later, he will do it live in Tampa and Triple H will be listening for sure. What will Hart have to say? Will Triple H respond? What will Chris Jericho do?

Confirmed matches

GLOBAL ICON · Mar 2, 2012

Live from Tampa Bay Times Forum, Tampa, Florida

A video package airs showing the highlights of the RAW main-events. It begins with Triple H and Chris Jericho battling it out in the No Holds Barred match. The video turns black and white when Bret Hart gets in the ring with a sledgehammer. Video cuts to the WWE championship match. They show the awesome in-ring fight between Morrison and Miz and goes B&W when Morrison sets up for Starship Pain. Then, we cut to the Cena-Punk match. The video goes B&W again when Punk nails Cena with the GTS but Cena kicks out. We cut to Bret Hart hitting Triple H with the sledgehammer in color and Jericho getting the cheap win. Cut to Morrison hitting Starship Pain and retaining his title. Cut to Cena hitting Punk with AA and winning. The video ends with Cena celebrating with the fans after tearing apart Punk’s t-shirt.

The video ends and Jerry “The King” Lawler, Jim Ross and Michael Cole welcome us to the fall-out RAW from Judgment Day as we prepare ourselves for the patriotic night of WWE The Great American Bash. The camera pans around the arena and the crowd goes wild to be on RAW.

**The Time Is Now**

More cheers from the crowd as last night’s show-ender John Cena comes out to open RAW for the second time in two months. He looks at the crowd who are ecstatic to see him. He points towards the loudest section of the crowd as he is in a happy mood. He salutes the crowd before hitting the ring. He bounces off the ropes a couple of times before throwing his hat off into the crowd. He asks for a mic and gets it.

Cena: Tampa, Florida, did you enjoy WWE Judgment Day?!!!

*The crowd chant a “yes!”*

Cena: Now Judgment Day was a great night, well at least for me. Last night, I went to war with CM Punk and with all due respect to Punk, yes, he did give me what he promised, with all due respect to him I beat CM Punk and I proved to him and to the entire WWE Universe that he has got a long way to go to become “Best In The World”.

*Little boos from the Punk fans*

Cena: Tonight, I am here for two reasons. The first is, I beat Punk last night and now I am ready to move on to bigger things. And by bigger things I mean The Great American Bash and the WWE championship!

*The crowd cheers*

Cena: But before I do that, I have to get one thing done from Punk tonight. Last night I beat him fairly and squarely and he owes us something he promised according to the stipulations of the match. Right here tonight, right now, CM Punk has to get his beaten ass down to the ring and accept in front of the WWE Universe right here in Tampa and the millions watching at home that he is not “Best In The World”.

*Mixed reactions for Cena*

Cena: So come on down here buddy. Let’s get done with this.

*Cena and the crowd waits for a while before Punk’s music hits*

**Cult Of Personality**

CM Punk comes out to huge mixed reactions and he is indeed wearing a new t-shirt. He points to his fans as Cena looks on in the ring. He slaps hands with the Punkatics before he stares Cena down from the outside. He gets into the ring and congratulates Cena before climbing the turnbuckle and posing. The older fan-base starts a “CM Punk!” chant. Punk smiles at the chanting people and then asks for a mic.

Punk: Well Johnny, first off all, congratulations.

*Punk extends his hand and Cena shakes it*

Punk: Well done. You won last night. Good for you. But, but, we all saw it. You got lucky. You got lucky that I got distracted. You see there was a beautiful woman sitting in the crowd last night who got my attention when you lifted me for the AA. So, you know, the bottom-line is you got lucky.

Cena: Hmm. Punk, the bottom-line is, you are a hypocrite. I thought you were different. I thought you weren’t the typical heel who goes around mouthing excuses for his obvious loss that the entire world saw. But tonight, you just proved that with being nowhere close to “Best In The World”, you are a hypocrite.

*Boos by the Punkatics*

Punk: John, John, wait a minute. I never said that I won’t give you what I promised. I never said that I will back down from my words because I am not a coward and I am certainly no hypocrite. You want me to say what I have to, guess what, you needn’t tell me that. You see, before you came out here, I was planning to walk out myself and state what I had to. So have some patience and don’t call me that ever again or you might just see my future on your face.

*Cheers for Punk*

Cena: So what are we waiting for, mayday?

Punk: Cena, you are a desperate little girl. Guess what, I’ll give you your Barbie. Look, I even changed my t-shirt. Now it says “In Punk We Trust”. Ladies and gentlemen, Punkatics especially, please hold your hearts. Because I am going to say what I don’t truly believe in. With that being said, I admit that I am nowhere near “Best In The World” and John Cena is the true hero of you people.

*The kids cheer for that as Punk makes a face and acts as if to vomit out*

Punk: I don’t like to fib and that was the biggest lied in my life.

*Cena shoots him a knowing smile*

Cena: So Punk now that you have said what you were here for, it’s time you left.

Punk: Whoa. You can’t tell me to leave John. This is my ring. I am a professional wrestler. I am better than you. And I have the rightful claim to compete for the WWE championship at the next pay-per-view which is The Great American Bash.

Cena: Wait a minute. Did I hear you correctly? You have a rightful claim? I don’t think so. Punk, you lost last night. Get over it. And though you might not want to admit it, but I am in the front of the line to compete for the WWE championship at The Bash. So you can take a back seat and learn how to win championships without boasting of your wrestling skills.

Punk: Of which you have none.

*Huge cheers for that*

Punk: You see John, last night you fluked. The entire world knows that. You know that. So it’d be better if you stepped out of the way and let me go on to better things. Let others have their chance Cena, at least for once in your life. I know I can and I will beat John Morrison for the WWE championship so let me do that, without sticking your nose in between.

**Break The Walls**

Chris Jericho’s music hits and he comes out in a suit breaking the banter limping on one leg clearly showing the effects of last night’s grueling No Holds Barred match. He struts down the ring as the crowd boos him profusely. He continues walking down the ramp ignoring the insults thrown at him. He gets in the ring and taunts the crowd with a Triple H pose and then a Bret Hart pose. He gets hold of a mic and turns his attention to CM Punk and John Cena.

Jericho: Two grown-ups fighting like two little kittens. Hmm, that screams idiotic television to me.

*Boos*

Jericho: However, I do not care. You two can keep fighting all night long as to who is next in line for the WWE championship, after me. Because last night, I beat Triple H and the entire world saw it. Last night, I came out victorious in a match designed for my opponent, a No Holds Barred match. And guess what, that makes me more eligible than you two.

*More boos*

Jericho: And besides, none of you two are Best In The World. I am. I am the first and only man to be Best In The World at what he does and no one can take that moniker away from me. Not a bearded crybaby nor a puked up, righteous cowboy.

*Boos for the insults*

Jericho: I am the best in the world at what I do and I proved it last night when I outsmarted and outlasted Triple H in a No Holds Barred match. And like I said, both of us were going to hell. But there was only one who came back. And that is me. And I have got proof to back it up. I am here tonight, doing what I do best and Triple H is sitting at home in the McMahon home watching me dominate a company his father-in-law built, a company his brother-in-law is running.

*Boos for the insult of Triple H*

Jericho: And that is why I am the rightful No.1 contender to the WWE championship and I am going to become the WWE champion come The Great American Bash. And you two jackals, can take your share after the lion has eaten his.

Cena: Well, let me get this straight. You, Chris Jericho, who needed a 60-plus year old to beat his opponent consider yourself as the rightful No.1 contender? That is what screams idiotic to me.

*Cheers for Cena*

Cena: Jericho, you didn’t win clean. And Punk, you didn’t even win. So, keeping that in mind, I deserve to be the No.1 contender for the WWE championship.

Punk: Wait just a minute John. Instead of bickering, why not call out John Morrison himself and ask who he wants to face for his title?

*The crowd cheers at the mention of Morrison*

**All Grown Up**

Stephanie McMahon’s music hits instead and out comes the general manager whom the crowd boo, as they expected the WWE champion. She stands on the stage and asks for a mic.

Stephanie: Wait a minute folks. Punk is right, stop bickering. But, John Morrison isn’t the GM here. I am. And what I want happens here on RAW. And what I want is the three of you proving your claims to being the No.1 contender. So that means, tonight, the three of you will be in a triple threat elimination match with the winner facing John Morrison for the WWE championship at The Great American Bash!!!

*The crowd explodes at the announcement as we go to a commercial*

Back from the break and the funny duo of Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov, now collectively known as “The Italian Russian Brigade” are already in the ring and are warming up for the tag-team match.

**Radio**

Radio hits the speakers and the crowd goes nuts for the 6 and 0 WWE Tag Team champions Curt Hawkins and the Long Island Iced Z! Zack Ryder. The champs pose on the stage with pyros exploding in the background. They strut their way down to the ring, the titles firmly around their waist, gleaming in the bright lights. They get into the ring and climb the turnbuckles and pose and the crowd starts a “We are Broskis!” chant.

Winners: The Broskis

The now 7 and 0 Broskis celebrate in the ring as their opponents lay down and out on the outside. The ref raises their arms and hands them their titles. They go atop the turnbuckles and pose with the titles and also finger the number ‘7’. They get down the turnbuckles and pose some more in the ring. They finally decide to leave but are interrupted.

**New Foundation**

The Hart Dynasty’s music hits and the crowd boos for a moment thinking it is Bret Hart but then pop on seeing the son of the British Bulldog, David Hart Smith and alongside him, the last graduate of the Hart Dungeon, Tyson Kidd. They are dressed in the signature pink and black and they head for the ring. They get inside the ring, The Broskis closely viewing them. Kidd asks for a mic.

Kidd: First off all, Curt, Zack, congratulations on your victory last night and on your victory tonight. You are now a mega 7 and 0 against the rest of the tag teams in the WWE. You’ll are the top team right now.

*Cheers for The Broskis*

Kidd: And we may admit it, but we are not happy with it. You see everything here in the WWE is about oneself. Right now, it’s about the two of you. But we want to change it. We want to make it about ourselves. You might be 7 and 0 but guys, we are here to end your streak.

*Some boos for Kidd*

Kidd: We are here to take those championships and believe me when I tell you, we will! So all we are here to tell you is that you can enjoy this moment of glory because we will be the new WWE Tag Team champions sooner than later.

*Kidd hands the mic to Smith*

Smith: He’s right. But you see, we do not want anybody to spoon-feed us. We are alright on our own and we will prove to the world that we just don’t get things, we earn them! And just like every time, this time too, we are going to earn it! And so, as per orders from the RAW General Manager Stephanie McMahon and her SmackDown! counterpart, Teddy Long, this week on SmackDown!, we will face the two of you and if we win, we battle it out for the Tag Team titles at The Great American Bash!

*The crowd pops for that announcement*

Kidd: So see you on Friday.

*Kidd and Smith are about to leave but Ryder picks up the mic and stops them*

Ryder: Hold on. Hold on. We’ve got something to say as well. We know that you two don’t get things, you earn them. But that’s just the exact case with me, Curt and all of our fellow Broskis. We too, earn things. We have earned our place here in the WWE, we have earned these people and we have earned this WWE Tag Team championship. And we won’t let anybody take it away from us.

*Cheers for the host of the Z! True Long Island Story*

Hawkins: You’ve got a chance and you want to capitalize on it, we understand. Because we did the same. And I wish the two of you luck, but let me tell you, we won’t go down to you this Friday. We are 7 and 0 for a reason. And the reason is that we are the best team here. We are the men to beat. And you two, you’ll are not going to beat us anytime soon. Not at The Bash, not this Friday, not ever. And though we would like to compete against you with our titles on the line, this ain’t your time.

Ryder: Woo Woo Woo. You Know It!

*The crowd pops for the catchphrase as Ryder and Hawkins leave and we go to a commercial*

**Realeza**

Alberto Del Rio’s music hits after the break and the Intercontinental champion comes out to loud boos in a 1996 Rolls Royce wearing a brown suit and a black shirt with the scarf dangling around his neck. He gets onto the stage and poses with pyros going off in the background. He struts down the ramp showing off the Intercontinental championship that is suspended around his shoulder. He gets in the ring and poses one more time and the crowd continues to boo him. He gets a mic.

Alberto: Amigos, there should be a better way in which you can welcome your favorite and the greatest champion.

*More boos*

Alberto: Anyways, my name, my name is Alberto Del Rio and I am your Intercontinental champion. But you already know that. What you also know is that tonight, eight men will compete in a battle royal to have the rights to face me for my Intercontinental championship.

*Cheers for the match*

Alberto: And I wish all of the eight superstars luck because they need it. And I wish the winner some more luck because he will be facing me for the title, whenever I want. Hahahaha. But whenever he faces me, he’s got no chance to win. Because I am Alberto Del Rio and I will do anything to keep my Intercontinental championship.

*The crowd can’t stop booing*

Alberto: Now, somebody asked me, how would I prepare for such an unexpected challenge considering I have only put my title on the line once, against Kofi Kingston.

*Cheers at the mention of Kofi*

Alberto: And you know what I told him? I said, look amigo, I don’t care who my challenger is. I don’t care against whom I have to defend my championship. I simply don’t give a damn. Because whoever it be, I’ll be ready because I am the most classy and talented superstar in the WWE locker room. And just like I did to Kofi Kingston, I could do to anybody else. Take a look.

*Alberto points to the tron and they show a video wherein Kofi gets attacked during the Intercontinental championship match 2 weeks ago on RAW against Alberto Del Rio*

Alberto: You see, I’ve got money. And that means I have got power. I have got power over the entire WWE locker room and I will walk out the night I defend my championship, still the Intercontinental champion. Because you know what, I am better than anybody else who has held this championship. Be it Pat Patterson, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Triple H, Roddy Piper, Ricky Steamboat or The Honky Tonk Man.

*Boos for insulting the legends*

Alberto: I am the greatest Intercontinental champion of all times and you know what? It’s my destiny to keep it that way.

*Alberto winks at the camera and the crowd boos as we go to a commercial*

*Del Rio throws the mic down and places one leg on Drew’s chest and lifts the IC title high in the air for everyone to see. The crowd boos as Del Rio smirks and we go to a commercial*

**Return The Hitman**

Back from the break and the vintage Hart music hits and out comes WWE Hall of Famer, Bret “The Hitman” Hart in his signature black and pink to loud boos. He looks around the arena as every person boos him. He slowly walks down the ramp with a smug look on his face and a desolate look in his eyes. He gets into the ring and without any pose, without playing the crowd, asks for a mic. Before he can speak, the crowd interrupts him with a “You Suck!” chant. He lets the chants die down and begins to speak.

Bret: I can understand your feelings. But I’ve got some of my own and like it or not, I let them affect the outcome of the No Holds Barred match last night at Judgment Day.

*Bret points to the tron and they air a video showing Bret’s attack on Triple H during the match*

Bret: And there is no denial that Chris Jericho walked out last night with a victory up his sleeves. And that will go down in the history books.

*Another “You Suck!” chant goes up*

Bret: But let me tell you all something, let me tell you all that I am sorry. I am sorry for letting my emotions run through me and I am sorry for disappointing all of you. But I am not sorry for what I did to Triple H! I am not sorry that I helped Chris Jericho beat Triple H! And I am certainly not sorry for doing what I thought was right!

*The crowd boos the hell out of Bret*

Bret: And let me tell you nothing of this was pre-planned. I didn’t screw Triple H. Chris Jericho didn’t tell me to do what I did. It was just a personal opinion. I was right in Triple H’s corner all the way to Sunday morning. Yeah. When I got up on Sunday and I looked into the mirror. I realized something. I realized that I was imposing injustice on my fellow Canadian.

*The crowd can’t stop booing Bret*

Bret: I realized that Chris was indeed right. Triple H IS a parasite living off the McMahon family name.

*The loudest boos of the night for this*

Bret: Chris Jericho was right when he said that Triple H is where he is because he married that chic. Chris Jericho is right when he says that Triple H doesn’t deserve anything that he got in this business because he got it under the influence of Stephanie McMahon. And not only that, but I realized that what Chris Jericho said about me is right as well.

*The crowd quiet down for a moment*

Bret: I said I came here, just to meet you people, just to live my dream one more time but deep down inside, I always knew what Jericho said was right. On Sunday, it just came to my heart and to my mind. I admitted that I was here for a pay because personally, I have never liked Triple H professionally and personally. I’ve always felt that he is a degenerate.

*The crowd starts a “Triple H!” chant*

Bret: But, three weeks ago, I let all that go in the drain. I forgot all my animosity against Triple H, I forgot all the wrongs that he did and sided with him. I agreed to show up on WWE programming and I insulted Chris Jericho, a man whom I trained, on live television. And I did that just for a damn paycheck.

*More boos for The Hitman*

Bret: I couldn’t believe myself. I had become a pawn in a rivalry and sided with an asshole of a guy who happens to be the best friend of the man who screwed me back in 1997, Shawn Michaels.

*The crowd boos the ill-recognition of Michaels*

Bret: On Sunday morning, when I realized all of this, I felt ashamed of myself. I didn’t know what to do. But then, then, something struck my mind. I had the idea to repay my debts to Chris Jericho by helping him get the win at Judgment Day and I did. And after that, I can’t believe what I heard. What I heard was you people booing me just because I did what I felt was right. You know, the thing Jericho is spot-on about is, you all are blood-sucking parasites!

*The boos explode out of the roof as Bret Hart nods his head in disagreement*

Bret: With that, I am going back to Canada to lead a happy life. I am going back and one last time, ladies and gentlemen, Bret Hart has left the building!

*More boos for Bret for copying HBK’s catchphrase as Bret throws the mic down and is about to leave but is interrupted*

**The Game**

Triple H jogs down the ramp with bandages around his forehead and nose in a black jacket, “Cerebral Assassin” t-shirt and jeans as the crowd pops the loudest in the night for him. Bret Hart looks pale in the ring as Hunter aims straight for him. He leaps onto the apron and gets in the ring. He gets in Hart’s face and grabs him by the collar. He says to him that he doesn’t care what he thinks and he is about to receive something that Hunter “pre-planned”.

Hunter lets go off Bret’s collar and takes him down with a leap. He punches away at him until Bret manages to get loose. Hunter grabs him by the jacket and pulls him towards himself and knocks him down with a clothesline. He continues the beatdown until Hart manages to break free again and goes to the outside this time. Hunter follows him out and takes him down with a shot right to the jaw. He picks Bret up and slams his head off the steps. He whips him into the barricade. He picks him up and drives him spine-first into the apron. He picks him up and throws him to the outside. He goes under the ring and takes out a steel chair. He gets in the ring and motions Hart to get up. He swings his chair but Bret ducks and runs out of the ring. Hunter is about to follow him but Hart leaps the barricade and runs through the WWE Universe as Hunter yells at him to get back from near the barricade. Hart reaches the exit door and stares at Hunter in disbelief as Hunter stares back. Hart exits. Hunter is fuming and he smashes the chair off the ring post and then throws it down and stomps on it as we go to a commercial.

Back from the break and I Came To Play by Downstait blares out of the speakers and the former No.1 contender for the WWE championship makes his way out in his wrestling gear.

He asks for a mic and gets it. He lets the boos settle down before beginning to speak.

Miz: Really? Really? Really? Tampa, Florida? Really?

*The crowd chant a REALLY!*

Miz: You people have no idea that you are so lucky you are able to view me, the most must-see superstar in WWE history in person. And what do you do? You boo me! Really?

*Another REALLY! from the crowd*

Miz: Last night, I was wrongly screwed out of my title match because I wasnt even medically cleared to wrestle. I suffered a hairline damage to my leg and Morrison targeted my leg knowing my injury. Tell me how that is fair?

*The crowd chants Stop The Excuses!*

Miz: That isnt an excuse. That is a reality. I deserved to win last night. I deserved to be the WWE champion here tonight and lead the show from the front. Set an example for the others. But what do we get instead? A boring, worn-out, spot monkey of a champion whose taking a backseat and boring the hell out of me and all the others in the back.

*Boos for insulting Morrison*

Miz: He shouldnt even be here in this global phenomenon the WWE is, let alone be the WWE champion. He sucks the energy out of every place he goes to, including Tampa. I even think The Bucs are more charismatic than Old Johnny.

*Boos for the taunt to the local team*

Miz: And instead of showing sympathy for me, you cheer John Morrison and lick his ass just for an autograph. Instead of letting your vote count in giving me another opportunity you talk about how Bret Hart screwed Triple H. You talk about what a great match CM Punk and John Cena had at Judgment Day! Now that seriously annoys the hell out of me!

*The crowd continues to boo Miz*

Miz: And you people who boo me for everything I say, piss me off. I have proven myself over and over and over again. I have given the WWE the publicity of the history. I am on TMZ, I am on MTV, I am on Nickelodeon, I am on BBC, ESPN, I represent this company on a global scale better than Vince McMahon, The Rock, John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin and even Michael Cooper. I am the star every company, every movie-maker, every news channel is after!

*The crowd starts a You Suck! chant*

Miz: And what do I get for doing all that? What do I get for being the most-improved and most must-see superstar in the 21st century, not even a place in the main-event to prove myself all over AGAIN! And I am tired of this. I am tired of being an underdog. I am tired of being neglected. I am tired of being disrespected. And that is why, right here, right now, in front of all you goofs in Tampa, I challenge anyone and everyone on the WWE roster who thinks he is better than me to come out here and face me one-on-one!!!

*The crowd gets pumped up for this as Miz throws the mic down and waits for someone to answer his challenge. We wait for a few moments before going to a commercial*

*Back from the break and Miz is still in the ring and his challenge is not yet answered*

Miz: Hmm. I knew this was happening. I knew nobody dared to come face-to-face with me, the greatest superstar of the 21st century. Because I am The Miz and I am AWE.

**Crank It Up**

Miz is interrupted by Big Show and his music and the crowd pops big-time for that. Show has got an angry look on his face and without being the friendly giant, he walks down the ramp his eyes locked on The Miz whose expression changes from cocky to scared in a second. Miz tries to back-off but there is a ref already in the ring and he stops him. Show gets in the ring and takes off his t-shirt to reveal the signature vest and he asks the ref to ring the bell.

**Aint No Make Believe**

John Morrisons music hits and he comes out to a huge pop, one of the loudest of the night, in jeans and his signature t-shirt with the sunglasses on and his recently retained WWE championship shining around his shoulders in the light. He poses on the stage with pyros going off in the background. He walks down the ramp in slo-mo with the girls going wild for him. He stops at the end of the ramp to take off his glares and gives it to a kid in the front row. Morrison gets in the ring and climbs the turnbuckle. He lifts his championship for everyone to see and the crowd cheers him on. Morrison gets off the turnbuckles and asks for a mic.

Morrison: Thank you Big Show. Finally, Miz goes to where he deserves.

*Loud cheers for that*

Morrison: Now Miz might have been talking about me being boring, which, by the way I am not, but he still said. Miz, Ive got just one thing to say to you. I dont care what you think. You see I am John Morrison, I am the HBK of our team, I have the support of these people and I am the WWE champion!

*More cheers for the champ*

Morrison: And the fact of the matter is, I beat you a month ago to get my first WWE championship and I beat you last night to keep it. And I dont care whether or not you werent cleared to wrestle, because you did, and Miz, face the facts, you lost! Miz, you keep talking about bringing the WWE publicity, bringing the WWE more money but Miz, I bring the WWE fans and I bring them an exciting match every damn week!

*The girls keep cheering for Morrison*

Morrison: And to tell you the truth, weve had enough from you. Ever since your days as a diva-show host, you kept talking and talking and talking and it might have won you some Nickelodeon awards, but it wont win you the WWE championship, ever again! Because to win the WWE championship, youve either got to have a red briefcase or youve got have something youve never had and will never have, the courage to be a man!

*A Morrison! chant echoes in the arena*

Morrison: But let me not waste precious moments on The Miz. Because hes my past. I beat him twice. And now hes at the back of the line. Right now, the three men who are in front of the line and will compete in a No.1 contenders match shortly, are Chris Jericho, CM Punk and John Cena.

*A loud cheer erupts for Cena*

Morrison: And I personally feel, after what happened last night, all three men deserve to be in the spots they are. But when I was coming down to ringside, a guy backstage asked me who I would like to defend my title against at The Great American Bash. Who I would like, it doesnt matter because ultimately, whoever wins the match will get me at the Bash. But still, Im gonna, Im gonna name my pick.

*Cheers*

Morrison: Hmm. On one side, there is Chris Jericho. Now a lot of people including me feel that Jericho doesnt deserve to be here because Bret Hart helped him win last night. But weve got to give credit where it is due. Chris Jericho outlasted The Game in a match designed for the minds of people like Triple H, a No Holds Barred match. And what will go down in the history books, is that Chris Jericho won.

*Boos for acknowledging Jerichos victory*

Morrison: Next, we have CM Punk. The Pipebomb guy. Believe it or not, he indeed debuted a new t-shirt tonight. And that means yeah, he lost last night. But there is no denial that he gave Cena what he promised. He gave Cena a war. Last night, Punk and Cena went to war and though there is only one winner, CM Punk came so close to being in Cenas position here tonight.

*The older males start a CM Punk! chant*

Morrison: And last but not the least, there is John Cena. He is in the best position out of all the three. He didnt lose, he didnt have a Hall of Famer to help him. He did it on his own and he proved CM Punk that being Best In The World is still many a miles away. And many would think that Cena has the mental advantage tonight considering he is in the position he is right now.

*The CeNation starts a Lets Go Cena! chant*

Morrison: And now, who would I want to face? Well, umm, I think itll be CM Punk. Because after what transpired last night, between me and Punk, and after what happened tonight, Punks still blurred about whether or not he is Best In The World. And at The Bash, I would love to prove to him that hes not all the while retaining my WWE championship and showing him that I was the better man all the way since ECW.

*Mixed reactions for that statement*

Morrison: With that being said, ladies and gentlemen, lets move on to the action!

*The crowd cheers and Morrison goes out of the ring and we go to a commercial*

Back from the break and John Morrison has seated himself at the commentary table.
