*Start Video*​

The show begins with a video package showcasing Monday Night Raw's talent. The crowd is in a frenzy as they learned earlier today that Vince McMahon is no longer incharge of the WWE. They await what becomes of this night as the explosive fireworks blaze the stage. The show is about to begin!

Michael Cole: Hello everybody, and welcome to Monday Night Raw! We are coming to you live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Tonight, will be different as we see the new management in action tonight.

Josh Matthews: You're right Cole. Earlier today, we learned the news that everyone is talking about. The Chairman, Vince McMahon has taken a leave of absence indefinitely.

Jerry Lawler: Well you know what they say Josh, the show must go on.

Michael Cole: If only the show were to go on without you King, that would've been better news.

Jerry Lawler: Shut up Cole! No one wants to hear your voice tonight. I wish you had a mute button.

Michael Cole: That's real mature Lawler. You-

*This Fire Burns*​

Michael Cole is cut off as CM Punk makes his way to the ring to the address the WWE Universe. Punk is all smiles as he approaches the ring. Boos can be heard from all around the Staples Center.

CM Punk: Well well well, looks like the boss isn't around anymore just like Phil Jackson isn't around for the Lakers. *Crowd boos Punk at his snarky comment.*

CM Punk: As you all know, I'm the most talented Superstar in the WWE right now. Not only am I talented, I am disciplined and a good role model. I don't know why you idiots cheer for the superstars in the back that are fake, like John Cena. *Crowd roars as they hear Cena's name.* I am better than John Cena. I'm better than anyone else in that locker room. Therefore, I name myself the #1 contender for Cena's WWE Championship.

*Booyaka 619*​

Rey Mysterio's entrance is met with a roar of cheers as the crowd is pleased to see Mysterio. Mysterio goes to each side of the entrance to activate his pyro. The longer Mysterio's entrance goes on, the louder the crowd gets. Mysterio makes his way down the ramp and gives away one of his armbands to a kid in a mask followed by a head bump. He enters the ring and has something to say to Punk.

Rey Mysterio: Punk, you're definitely a talented superstar but you're not the best. Do I need to remind you how many times I beat you Punk?

CM Punk: *Gives a menacing smile* Rey, don't even get me started on how many times I beat YOU. Hell, I even got your family involved. So, I don't think you want to mess with me since you know what I'm capable of.

Rey Mysterio: How about we settle this in a match right here, right now. Winner is the #1 Contender to the title.

*I Came To Play*​

Michael Cole: Finally, someone worth listening to. Look at The Miz guys. He has all the charisma, the swagger, and the class of a champion.

Jerry Lawler: All I see is a reality star who thinks he's all that.

The Miz comes out with microphone on hand to major heat as he makes his first appearance of the night. He has a disgusted look in his face as he sees Punk and Mysterio in the ring.

Miz: Really? *Crowd chants "Really!"* Really? *Crowd chants "Really!"* Really?! *Crowd chants "Really!"* Who do you guys think you are declaring yourselves the #1 Contender? If anyone deserves to be #1 Contender, it's me. Punk, you claim that you're all straight edge but look at yourself. You think anyone will say you look straight edge, you look like an addict to me. And what's with the Pepsi tattoo? Rey, you look like a fat, Mexican Twinkie. You think you have what it takes to be at the top? Think again. As for me, I was the most must-see WWE Champion ever. Better than both of you. So, sorry guys but I'll be the #1 Contender because I'm The Miz and I'm Aweso-.

*Light flickers, as the Anonymous GM chimes in.*​

Michael Cole: Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, I have received an E-mail from the Anonymous General Manager. And I quote, "First, I'd like to welcome everyone to the new WWE. Many surprises will be in store for the WWE Universe. As for this situation, I'd like to propose a match since we need a new #1 Contender for Cena's championship. So tonight, it'll be CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz in a Triple Threat Cage match to determine the new #1 Contender. And if you're not down with that, we got two words for you." *Crowd erupts as they hear a familiar phrase and yell "Suck It!"

Josh Matthews: What a main event for tonight. We sure are in for a treat with that Triple Threat Cage match to determine the new #1 Contender to Cena's championship. And it seems the Anonymous General Manager isn't so anonymous anymore.

Jerry Lawler: I know, it's shaping up to be a great night.

*Commercial*​

Raw comes back live on the USA network. A match will be taking place next.​

*Get On Your Knees*​

Lillian Garcia: This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Perry, Oklahoma weighing in at 263 pounds, the United States Champion, The All-American American, Jack Swagger!

Swagger makes his way to the ring with a large amount of boos coming his way. Swagger with his big smile and large frame, carries the United States Championship proudly on his shoulders. He stops at his usual spot, puts his championship on the ground, and does 3 push ups as the pyro goes off. Swagger is on a roll as he enters the ring with his championship. He paces around the ring as he waits for his opponent.

*SOS*​

Lillian Garcia: And next, from Ghana, West Africa. Weighing in at 221 pounds, Kofi Kingston.

Kofi comes out to a huge ovation from the crowd. He does his Boom Boom signature and the crowd loves it. Kofi is jumpy and ready for action as he hi-fives the crowd on his way to the ring.

Match #1
Jack Swagger (c) vs. Kofi Kingston​

Swagger and Kofi stare each other down as the referee calls for the bell. Kofi gets into his unique stance with his hands in front of his face. The two engage in a lock. Swagger gets the advantage as he gets Kofi in a headlock. Kofi powers out with punches to Swagger's mid-section. With Swagger dazed, Kofi bounces off the ropes to connect with a clothesline. He goes for the cover, 1, 2, but Swagger kicks out. Swagger gets a rake in the eyes and takes down Kofi. Swagger, showing his wrestling background, goes for the technical moves as he works on Kingston's left leg. Kofi screams in pain each time Swagger stomps on Kofi's left leg. Swagger gets Kofi up and Irish Whips him hard to the turnbuckle which causes Kofi to hit his torso and fall to the ground. Swagger runs over Kofi, unto the top rope and completes the splash. Swagger covers Kofi, 1,2, kickout. A nearfall by Swagger. Jack again goes for Kofi's left leg as he delivers elbows consecutively. Swagger gets Kofi up, setting him up for the Gutwrench Powerbomb, but Kofi reverses is for a pin. 1, 2, kickout by Swagger. Kofi delivers a picture perfect dropkick. And another one as Swagger gets up but holds on to his left leg as it's clearly hurting. Both men get up at the count of 6. They trade blows but Kofi gets the upperhands when he delivers a hard kick to Swagger's mid-section. He bounces of the ropes to connect with a Axe Punch but Swagger reverses it into a spinebuster. Swagger then locks in the Ankle Lock on Kofi's left ankle. Kofi screams in pain as he tries to reach the ropes. He does, but Swagger doesn't let go until the count of 3. Swagger then sets up Kofi near the turnbuckle to get a splash on him. Swagger runs and jumps over Kofi, but as he gets down to perform the splash, Kofi had his knees up and connected on Swagger's abdomen. With Swagger catching his breath, Kofi set him up for Trouble in Paradise and connected. He goes for the cover, 1, 2, 3! *Bell Rings*

Spoiler

Kofi Kingston wins by pinfall (At the 9:37 mark)​

*Commercial*​

Raw comes back with Lillian Garcia announcing the next match.
​

*Perfection*​

Lillian Garcia: This match is scheduled for one fall-

Vickie Guerrero: Excuse me! *Crowd groans and boos.* Excuse me! Allow me to introduce to you perfection, my business associate and future World Champion, Dolph Ziggler.

Michael Cole: What a fine lady Vickie Guerrero is. Look at her. She's beautiful.

Jerry Lawler: What are you talking about Cole? Do you see the same Vickie Guerrero I see? Her clothes look like they're ready to explode!

Josh Matthews: Well you gotta admit King, Vickie has contributed a lot to Dolph Ziggler's success.

Michael Cole: Finally, a nice comment about Vickie Guerrero. I think I have new-found respect for you Josh.

*Ain't No Make Believe*​

Lillian Garcia: Making his way to the ring from Los Angeles, California. *Crowd goes nuts* Weighing in at 221 pounds, John Morrison.

Morrison comes out and does his usual slow motion entrance and it causes his hometown crowd to cheer even louder, the biggest pop of the night. He makes his way down the ring with his feathery jacket. Morrison takes it off and gives it to some attractive lady in the first row. Morrison enters the ring and eyes his opponent, Dolph Ziggler.

Match #2
Dolph Ziggler vs. John Morrison​

The referee calls for the bell and the match begins. The two competitors lock up in the center of the ring. Ziggler gets a headlock on Morrison. Morrison pushes off Ziggler who bounces off the ropes. Morrison ducks down and Ziggler jumps over him, Morrison then jumps above the charging Ziggler. Meeting Ziggler is Morrison's boot as he connects with a dropkick. Ziggler rolls out of the ring to regroup and is met by Vickie Guerrero who shows her support as we go to commercial.

.....back on Monday Night Raw, Ziggler is in control of Morrison as we see the replay when Vickie interferes which causes Ziggler to ram Morrison to the steel steps. Ziggler begins working on the right arm of Morrison. Morrison gets up and is irish whipped and comes back to Ziggler who delivers a Big Back Body Drop. Ziggler tries this again but this time Morrison lands on his feet. Dolph tries to clothesline Morrison over the ropes but gets thrown out instead. Morrison regroups. As Dolph stands up, Morrison performs a Corkscrew over the ropes unto Dolph. The referee then begins the count. Morrison brings Dolph back in by the count of 8. He goes for the pin, 1, 2, kickout by Dolph. He delivers 3 consecutive dropkicks that dazed Dolph. Vickie Guerrero distracts the ref and this allowed some time for Dolph to regroup. The ref throws out Vickie from ringside to the delight of the crowd. As Morrison goes back to Dolph, Dolph playing possum, locks the SleeperHold on Morrison. Morrison fights and almost reaches the ropes but is out of it. The referee calls the bell and declares Dolph the winner. We see Vickie Guerrero come back out to congratulate Dolph as the crowd lets them hear the boos.

Spoiler

Dolph Ziggler wins by submission (At the 8:43 mark)​

As Morrison starts heading up the ramp, R-Truth comes out of nowhere to pummel Morrison. R-Truth shows his furious side as he throws Morrison unto the steel steps. He brings Morrison to the ring and hits the Truth or Consequence. Truth has a crazy look in his eyes as he performs his finisher again. Officials came out to stop Truth. Truth walked away after many failed attempts at getting back at Morrison.

*Commercial*​

Raw is back on air where we are introduced to a video. A video showcasing a new talent coming to Monday Nights. The video is full of high risk moves and power moves. But it plays too fast for everyone to recognize who this is. The video closes with the man saying "I'm Phenomenal".

*Essence of Excellence*​

Ricardo Rodriguez is in the ring to introduce Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio comes out in a 2011 Dodge Viper priced at $240,000. The crowd hates Del Rio as we hear "You Suck Del Rio" chants. The biggest heat of the night. But he only honks the horn to pretend that he doesn't hear them. Del Rio makes his way of the car unto the ramp where his golden pyro comes down as he is being introduced. He is all smiles as he gets a mic to address the crowd.

Alberto Del Rio:My name is Alberto Del Rio. And it is my Destiny to be WWE Champion. Now, there's something I don't get. How can I not be in the main event tonight when I am more deserving than all of those back in the locker room? It's not their destiny to be champion, it's mine. We have CM Punk, that's just what he is, a punk. He is a hypocritical maniac. The Miz, oh Miz. Really? Really? (Mocks Miz) Then we have Rey Mysterio *The crowd cheers loudly*, a fellow Mexican. Actually, I am ashamed that he is Mexican. He is a disgrace to my race and should be released as all he does he "flies" around and gets beat. I should be the #1 Contender because it is my destiny and my destiny is soon to come.

*Light flickers, as the Anonymous GM chimes in.*​

Michael Cole: Excuse me, I just received an E-Mail from the Anonymous General Manager. And I quote,"Del Rio, since you want to prove yourself so much, I'll give you a match I'm sure you'll enjoy. Your match is right now. Against the Champ, John Cena. Let's see your destiny now. And that's the bottom line because...*Crowd again hears a familiar phrase and completes it, "Stone Cold said so."*

*The Time Is Now*​

John Cena comes out to the biggest ovation of the night. He looks at the crowd and salutes them as he runs down the ramp into the ring. Del Rio clears the ring as Cena enters. Cena does his patented sign to the crowd and throws his hat as the crowd roars.

Match #3
John Cena (c) vs. Alberto Del Rio​

The referee calls for the bell. The two meet in the center in a stare down. Del Rio then pushes Cena. Cena answers back with a few punches. Cena whips Del Rio off the rope ready to give him a Big Back Body Drop, but Del Rio expects this and kicks Cena in the chest. He then throws Cena outof the ring as we head for commercial.

.....Raw is back live with Del Rio manhandling the champion. He works on Cena's back giving Cena a Cobra Clutch submission. This goes on for a while as Del Rio applies the pressure. The crowd gets into it with some "Let's go Cena!" "Cena sucks!" chants back and forth. Cena slowly feeds off the crowd and gets to his feet and slams Del Rio to the turnbuckle. Cena catches his breath. All the while, Del Rio exposes the turnbuckle and slams Cena's head to it. The referee realized this, and started to cover the turnbuckle. Meanwhile, Ricardo Rodriguez hands Del Rio the Championship Belt. Del Rio knocks Cena out cold. Rodriguez signals the ref to make the count. The referee then started counting, 1, 2, kickout by Cena! Del Rio couldn't believe it. He stomps on Cena all over due to frustration. Del Rio gets Cena up on the turnbuckle to perform a superplex and is successful. Del Rio covers Cena, 1, 2, 3, but before the ref counted to 3, he saw Cena's leg on the ropes. Rodriguez then pushed Cena's leg off the ropes and this caused the referee to ban him from ringside. Del Rio complained, but that was a mistake as it allowed Cena a second wind. Cena got re-energized and hit Del Rio with the Spinning Out Suplex. Followed by the "You Can't See Me" Five-Knuckle Shuffle. Cena sets up for the AA but Del Rio slides out of the ring. Del Rio makes his way up the ramp and into the locker room as the referee's count reaches 10.*Referee calls for the bell* But Del Rio comes back out with Mysterio forcing him back in. Cena hit the AA much to the crowd's satisfaction. Cena pointed at Mysterio and now realized he was the reason Del Rio came back in.

Spoiler

Cena wins by Count-Out (At the 12:18 mark)​

*Commercial*​

We return to Monday Night Raw and see the Bella Twins in the ring while Eve Torres makes her way to the ring. The bout will be Brie Bella against the Divas Champion, Eve.

Jerry Lawler: Divas Josh, Divas!

Josh Matthews:Yeah King, and we're probably in for a good match as it features the Divas champ Eve.

Match #4
Brie Bella (w/Nikki Bella) vs. Eve Torres (c)​

Eve and Brie are ready to battle as the ref calls for the bell. Eve was looking for a lock up but Brie kicks Eve in the mid section. Brie begins pulling Eve's hair while the referee starts his count. He gets up to 4 before Brie stops. The referee warns Brie while Eve is perched on the bottom ropes where Nikki Bella gets a slap in on Eve. Brie goes for the pin, 1, 2, kickout by Eve. Brie Irish Whips Eve to the turnbuckle where she misses Eve. Brie gets to the outside. Eve tries to go after her but the ref tells her to wait and let Brie come in. In that scuffle, Nikki then enters for Brie and gets on top of Eve and starts punching her. Nikki hits a DDT on Eve. But feels like it isn't enough and goes for a higher impact DDT and connects. She goes for the pin on Eve, 1, 2, 3. *Bell rings.*

Spoiler

Brie Bella by pinfall (At the 4:53 mark)​

Michael Cole: Up next is the main event. The Triple-Threat Cage match to determine the new

#1 Contender to Cena's title.​

*Commercial*​

*I Came To Play*​

The Miz is out first and boy does he look confident. He has that cocky strut and that sinister smile on his face. As he approaches the Cage, he examines it before finally entering the cage.

*This Fire Burns*​

CM Punk is out next and is looking calm but focused. He runs in places and pops his hands before entering the cage. Seeing Miz already in the cage, he eyeballs him. Both men look focused and are ready to start the match.

*Booyaka 619*​

Rey Mysterio is last to enter the cage. He gets a pretty good ovation. As he is looking to be the fan favorite to win this match. He hi-fives the kids who are in the first row with masks and gives them a head bump for good luck. Rey enters the cage as both Punk and Miz are ready to gang up on him.

Match #5
Determines #1 Contender For The WWE Championship
Triple-Threat Steel Cage Match
CM Punk vs. The Miz vs. Rey Mysterio​

The referee calls for the bell and the match begins. Punk and Miz go after Mysterio. Rey takes a beating from the two. Punk and Miz work together for a while getting rid of Mysterio. Mysterio gets his head banged up against the cage. Punk presses Mysterio's face against the steel cage. Meanwhile, while Punk does the damage to Mysterio, Miz tries his escape out of the cage. Punk immediately spots this and punches Miz breaking the teamwork they had earlier. Punk is in control of the match right now. He has Miz in the corner where he connects with a knee to the face followed by a bulldog. Punk again Irish Whips Miz into the turnbuckle and connects again with another knee to the face followed by a bulldog. Punk goes for the cover but it is broken up by Mysterio. Mustering no offense in the match yet, PUnk goes to work on Mysterio. Punk sends out an all out kick assault on Rey. Finally hitting with a kick to the side of Mysterio's head. With both Rey and Miz down, Punk climbs the cage. Punk is at the top and is seconds away from winning but Miz catches up to him and hey brawl it out at the top of the cage. Both men are on the ground as we go to a commercial break..

...We're back with Mysterio finally getting some offense in. He hit a hurricanrana on Punk which led him to the unforgiving steel of the cage. Mysterio caught Miz in the corner and did a monkey flip which made Miz fly across the ring. Mysterio asks for the cage door to be open. The cage door was open and Mysterio was on the way to becoming the new #1 contender until Drew McIntyre made his way down to the ring and close the cage door on Mysterio's face. Miz was looking to capitalize by covering Rey, 1, 2, kickout by Rey. Miz tries to get some offense on Rey but backfires on him when Rey hit a leg sweep that left Miz dazed on the second rope. Rey then connected on kicks to Miz's midsection. Rey saw Punk gaining consciousness so he hit a dropkick on Punk that made his head bounce against the steel cage. Rey went down after taking punishment much of the match. All three men were down. Since Miz was closest to the door, he called for it to be open, that's when Alex Riley came and closed the door on Miz and knocked him out. While all this was happening both Rey and Punk were on opposite sides of the cage and were almost out. Rey looked down on Miz and did something he may live to regret. He did a splash on top of the cage unto Miz. The referee started to count, 1, 2, 3! The bell had rung. And the winner was CM Punk! Punk got out before the referee could count Rey's pinfall as it was shown many times on the TitanTron. Rey was disappointed in himself and we could all see it. Punk made his way up the ramp and was celebrating. While backstage, Cena was watching on the monitor and found out who his opponent will be. Cena shook his head in approval and raised the WWE Title as Raw went off the air.

Spoiler

CM Punk wins by escaping the cage (At the 16:07 mark)​

So guys, hope you enjoyed my show. I'm hoping for some feedback and will be giving feedback too ofcourse. I wanna know..

Who was the MVP for Raw this week?
What grade would you give Raw this week?

P.S. Smackdown! will be up in a matter of days. Watch out for it! :]

 

[TSG]

Here, I'll toss you a small review. First off, for how quick you decided to do one, I wasn't expecting the best, quality, but it was a pretty good first show. I only have a couple problems. Firstly, the formatting is pretty good, but it would look better centered in the middle of the page. That's a pretty small thing though, and it's not a huge issue. The second thing is, when a person is talking, and the crowd chants along with them, or you want to detail the crowd reaction, it would help to separate the crowd reaction from the person speaking, instead of putting it in the same sentence. Like, have the person speaking, then start a new paragraph for the crowd reaction, then a new one when the person begins speaking again. It makes it look cleaner.

You are pretty good at match writing for a beginner, and you'll get even better with more experience. The only thing I had a problem with were the promos, I was looking for a bit more detail so we can get better looks at the characters you are presenting. Of course, that will come with time as well, but it's just another thing to consider while writing.

I like the Push for Punk he is seemingly getting, but storylines seem to be the same as WWE's. But that will happen starting out with the current project and I will give it time. I'm interested to see how you book the show, and I thought it was very good for a first attempt. You might want to wait a few days, like 5-7 days, before posting Smackdown, so more people have time to read and review the show. But it was a good first effort and there really isn't a lot of stuff to complain about. Good job on the first effort, and I'll be reading again.

 

[GCB]

Hi Jam. Good to see a new thread.

A few comments for you with your new show - RAW. First up, it looks great. Formatting is spot on and it is a nice, clear, easy-to-read BT - kudos for that. A couple of formatting errors which you might want to edit but other than that, it is great. Onto the actual show. Show starts with Miz, Mysterio and Punk arguing over the #1 contendership which is a solid move but I think with a new show with new direction, I would have preferred to see the actual champion, Cena, out first. Interruptions from the other three could have followed but I think we needed to hear from him. Triple threat steel cage match - good main event but don't go overboard with things like cages and such. Very rarely should they be used on TV IMO.

Teasing the GM being one of DX or Stone Cold? I'm guessing that we'll get 'If you smell what the GM is cooking' soon as well? This could be interesting but there needs to be a good reasoning behind it. Why is the GM imitating folk? Hope you've got something and someone big in mind.

You have solid match writing skills for a beginner. They're clear and well written. I like them. I'll be wanting more for the PPV and I'd consider more detail in the main event matches as well. Kofi over Swagger is fine with me, Dolph forcing JoMo to tap is interesting (and makes Ziggles my MVP to answer your question). Del Rio against Cena on TV in the middle of the show? Hmm. That's a big match to give away so cheaply. The Divas match I didn't read - you need something huge there to make it interesting - and the main event - whilst short - was done well. Punk sneaks out for the win.

Advice:

- Promos are needed. You had two. The opening one which was decent and then a short Del Rio one. Both of them featured the GM. We never heard from the WWE Champion and the show only really featured 2 storylines - the WWE Title #1 contender and the annoyance of Del Rio. I suppose you also had the Divas too. But I want more information on backstage stuff, I wanted you to extend the tension at the end ... String it out, have Cole and Lawler argue over whether it was Punk or Mysterio etc ...

- Longer matches, more detailed for the main event. It's the important one. Make it important.

- Build the undercard as well. I need to think more about this in my BT but your undercard is important as well. Not every feud needs to be building to the PPV, you need some filler in the TV show (particularly, I find, on SMACKDOWN in a current day BT) so I hope you can consider that.

I'm not going to rate it, I don't like that, but I think it was a decent start, there is stuff for you to work at and improve but it will happen. I'll be watching out for SMACKDOWN.

GCB

EDIT: Sign Guy was with me on the promos now I've read his review. So there you have the biggest issue to improve on!

 

[JamJam]

Yeah, I agree with you both TSG and GCB. This was kind of a hurried script. But its not that bad right? Lol. Well if you look at my roster, there aren't that much lower cards. You don't see Trent Barreta or Curt Hawkins, not even Ryder, sorry broskis! Only undercard is Christ Masters. But I change something up. Maybe I can get someone from FCW or sign Barreta and those guys. What you think about that mate?

Well for the promos, yeah. I knew I should've worked on those more. And as far as the big matches happening like Cena/Del Rio & Steel Cage match, I thought that I should make this a pretty good Raw since it's the first episode.

Glad you'll read Smackdown! Maybe if I can get one or two more reviews, I'll start on Smackdown. Cheers mate!

 

[The Best]

The Best Review:

Alright, I'll give you a (hopefully) short little review for your first show.

Alright promo to start the match, it's not excellent, but it's your first show, and as well as I do, we both have to work on our promos. The "anonymous GM" says that there's a huge triple threat in a cage to determine Cena's next challenger, that will be good.

Jack Swagger vs. Kofi Kingston: I suggest that if the match is pretty long, like that one that you separate it into paragraphs, and also add in some commentary during the match(s), just give some opinions, remember that's why that there's commentators, to commentate (the match). Overall, I was kind of surprised to see Kofi win, unless you're pursuing him to chase after the title, well we'll see if you do that or not, but it's your call; remember it's your show.

Dolph Ziggler vs. John Morrison: IMO these guys have great chemistry together in real life, so let's see how they do here, I like how you have Ziggler win here, and then Truth come out of nowhere, and wreck Morrison, we see there;s a feud boiling there, and we'll see where Dolph goes on from here. I also suggest, that when you do your commercial breaks, you make them stand out, I put stars next to them, bold them, and increase the font size to 5, and I suggest you do something like that too, because it could throw someone off.

ADR comes out with a promo, personally, I love writing promos with him, I only like writing with Punk more, but back on topic, I like how the anonymous GM does the phrases, and he announces John Cena as ADR's opponent. Again, try to separate the matches into paragraphs, because some people might just skip to the end to see who wins, and not read the actual match, which is basically a waste of time with writing the match. Cena wins by count-out which was fine, and then we see Rey Mysterio go out and force ADR back into the ring, isn't Rey chasing after John's title? I know they're both super faces, but I wouldn't see that happening in real life. Sorry.

Brie Bella vs. Eve: The champion gets a jobbed out? Well if that was anything besides the divas I would question it, but hopefully Brie will go for the title, but we'll see.

CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz: This is clearly your best match of the night, and it's CM Punk escaping the cage. I liked the match writing here, but again with the commercial breaks, and spacing, but besides that, I liked this match.

Overall Grade: C, your formatting was good, except for the really small details. You need more promos, and as GCB said you only had 2, try to make your commercial breaks clearer, and separate the matches into paragraphs, and try to get some commentary in with the matches. I like where this is going, and I'll keep reading, don't take the harsh grade too hard, your match writing was great, but besides the triple threat steel cage match, there was really no story behind the matches, yet this is/was your first episode of this thread, so I expect you to excel well. Good luck.

I'm writing this for the second time as I hit a button so it will not be as full. Promo stuff is needed to make the show work. Don't go over board but find that line of an equal amount of segments and matches. Probably 6 or 7 matches with 1 or 2 segments in between each of them. From what I could see the show didn't have many, maybe one or two. Something you need to change when writing Smackdown as the segments are the main way you push angles and feuds.

Now onto the matches, they were solid but you could add more into it. Adding the times is great and really makes the show seem real. It also gives us a feel on how long the match would have been for TV. The better projects use time and what not to keep track of PPV. Really useful tool for writers. I would add a little more onto the main event but still it was good. Maybe you might want to do the lower card matches in a summary and leave the big matches with the real detail. Just a thought.

The show began angles and with Punk winning I can sense something good is going to happen. Punk is gold to write for and is loads of fun. You can go in different directions with Punk and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us. Punk vs Cena = ratings. Nice job with having Punk go over.

Since this was your first show I don't have much to say. I can't comment on direction at the moment until the next couple of shows. Keep going and taking the advice of the other bookers around these parts. People like GCB and Peep understand how to make a successful thread. Continue and you'll get better. Probably a C- or something.

|June 17, 2011 San Antonio, Texas|​

*Start Video*​

The show begins with a video package showcasing Friday Night Smackdown's talent. Judging from Raw, the crowd is pumped up as they cheer their hearts out as the pyro goes off.

Josh Matthews: Welcome to Friday Night Smackdown! I'm Josh Matthews, alongside my colleagues, Michael Cole and Booker T. It sure will be a rollercoaster night as we see the pilot episode of Smackdown since the new management took over.

Michael Cole: For once, I agree with you Josh. The new management has really brought in something new. And with Raw being spectacular a few days ago, you can only imagine what will happen here tonight.

Booker T: Oooooh men. I can't wait! It's gonna be an exciting night. Let's get this started!

*MacMalitant*​

Theodore makes his way down to the ring. He is greeted with a pretty good ovation like he always gets. He seems excited as ever as he has a bounce to his step. He also hi-fives the people in the crowd. He finally enters the ring.

Theodore Long: Holla! Holla! Holla! Welcome San Antonio, Texas to Friday Night Smackdown!

Crowd gives him a big ovation.

Theodore Long: Now now, I know you guys know that the WWE is under new management so that means there will be some changes around here. Friday Nights will provide you with some of the best talent that we have to offer. Tonight is going to be an exciting night playa'!

Booker T: Looks like Long is just as pumped as we are!

Michael Cole: Nah. I wish Teddy would just get on to the point he is trying to make!

Theodore Long: Tonight, we will have #1 Contenders match to determine who will face the World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton!

Crowd goes wild as they hear Orton's name. Chants of RKO break out.

Theodore Long: Competing at the chance for a title match is...Sheamus!

*Written In Your Face*​

Sheamus comes out with a serious face. Looking as pale as ever. His strong stature is present as he makes his way down the ring. A perfect heel character.

Sheamus: Teddy, it's about damn time you gave me a #1 contenders match. You see fella, I'm the first Irish-born WWE Champion. And, I ended the career of one of the greatest WWE superstars, Triple H.

Crowd boos and some slight chants as they hear Triple H's name.

Sheamus: ....And that was only in my rookie year. You see, it doesn't matter whether you're new to the roster, everyone is just looking to make an impact. That's what I'm going to do, make an impact by being the #1 Contender tonight. And you best believe this fella.

Theodore Long: Hold on, hold on playa'! You sound like you're already the #1 contender, but you'll have to face this man...CHRISTIAN!

*Just Close Your Eyes*​

Christian comes from behind the curtains with a big smirk on his face. That smirk seems to say that "ofcourse he'd be in this match, I'm the best." Christian's classic smirk gets him even more heat from the crowd. His recent heel turn has really gotten under the skin of the WWE Universe.

Christian: Teddy Teddy Teddy. You made the right decision putting me in this match. Not only did you give me an opportunity, you basically handed me the #1 Contender's spot on a silver platter. Sheamus? That's my challenge? Piece of cake.

Crowd groans as we see Sheamus get all worked up and confronts Christian.

Sheamus: Listen up fella, I don't know who you think you are, but the #1 Contender spot is gonna be mine by the end of the night. Why are you even on this show? Isn't the last championship you won, the ECW Championship? Last time I checked, ECW is long gone fella.

Sheamus surprisingly gets a slight cheer as Christian looks angrier than ever. Just as it looks like the two will come to blows, an unexpected superstar came out.

*Smoke and Darkness*​

Booker T: What the hell? What is Cody Rhodes doing out here?

Michael Cole: What does it look like Booker? He's here to voice his opinion. Let the man speak.

Cody Rhodes is met by huge heat from the crowd. The biggest heat of the night so far. He comes out without his baggers for once. But in his hand, he carries one bag. He stands on the entrance with a mic on hand.

Cody Rhodes: You people disgust me. Especially you people in the ring. Teddy, these two are the ugliest, most despicable, most uninteresting duo for a championship match. We have Sheamus, who is bland, and LOOKS bland. Basically, a shadow in the ring with you right now. Then we have Christian. Christian, you, me, and everyone else knows that the only reason you are relevant right now is because you've been riding your buddy's tail, and then he "worked so hard for these people" that he was forced into an early retirement. How pathetic. Not only was Edge a moron for wrestling for these people's approval, he was even more of a moron for having YOU as his partner. Now don---

Christian cuts off Rhodes.

Christian: Cody, you think you're funny don't you. Well I see you have a bag over there. Thanks for saving each and every one of us the trouble of giving yourself a bag.

Crowd actually cheers Christian a bit for this comment as Rhodes looks furious.

Theodore Long: Now hold on playas'! Well, I told you tonight that Smackdown will be showcasing the best talent possible right? So tonight, we'll have a #1 Contender's match in a Triple-Threat match. It'll be Sheamus vs. Christian vs. Cody Rhodes.

Rhodes is seen nodding in approval of Long's decision.

*MacMalitant plays as we go to commercial*

We're back on Friday Night Smackdown! as we hear Ted Bibiase's music in the background. In the ring, Ted has something to say.

Ted Dibiase: Lately, I've been on a losing streak. Match after match, I keep losing.

Ted sounding sad, but later smiles.

Ted Dibiase: Who cares, I'm rich!

You suck chants begin swarming the AT&T Center.

Ted Dibiase: That's right, chant all you want. I'm still richer than all of you. Not only am I rich, tonight I will be going back to my winning ways. You just wait and see.

*Royalty*​

William Regal is greeted with a warm welcome as he hasn't been on TV in a while. Regal dressed in his royalty outfit makes his way down the ring as he is focused on making an impact.

Match 1
Ted Dibiase vs. William Regal​

Referee calls for the bell and the match is under way. The two lock up in the center of the ring as Regal gets the advantage with a side headlock. He applies more pressure but Dibiase gets out of it with punches to the mid section. Dibiase whips Regal into the turnbuckle and connects with a clothesline leaving Regal unconscious. He whips Regal to another corner, but this time gives a running drop kick right to Regal's face.

Josh Matthews: It looks like Dibiase is making quite the impact pummeling the English Brawler.

Michael Cole: This is just what you want to do, make an impact, go on a winning streak, and earn money! How much simpler can that be Josh?!

Dibiase looks to end the match but Regal catches Ted with a kick to the abdomen. Regal musters in a few clothesline and has Dibiase dazed. Regal tries to get in a back suplex, but out nowhere, Dibiase hits Dream Street and gets the pinfall.

After the match, Dibiase continues his attack on Regal showing his aggresive side coming at Regal with lefts and rights. Evan Bourne comes to make the save to the crowd's delight. Dibiase escapes before Bourne can get any attacks in. Ted is up the ramp furious that Bourne interrupted him. Bourne's music plays as Ted and Bourne
engage in a staredown.

Josh Matthews: Welcome back to Smackdown! Let's send it over to our other colleague in the back, Todd Grisham.

Todd Grisham: Thank you Josh. Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing my guest at this time, he is the newest member of the WWE and will be debuting tonight, Mason Ryan.

Crowd moans as they don't know how to react to this guy.

Todd Grisham: Mason, you're the new guy in the WWE and yet your first challenger is Kane, the former World Champion? Are you nervous or anything?

Mason Ryan: No, not at all. I'm not afraid of anyone in the WWE, and especially not Kane. In fact, it should be Kane who should be worrying about me as he hasn't seen me wrestle and can't do his scouting. I'll rip Kane into pieces, then go on with the rest of ya.

Mason then pretends to charge at Todd, as Todd shrieks back in fear. Mason gives a small laugh as he exists. But before he can exit, he is greeted by someone.

.....Randy Orton comes out of nowhere and shows the new guy his World Heavyweight Championship. Crowd gives Orton the biggest pop of the night so far. Mason exits and Todd asks Randy a question.

Todd Grisham: Randy, tonight there are 3 competitor vying to be the #1 contender to your championship. My question is, who do you want to face?

Randy Orton: Todd, it really doesn't matter who I face because I've beaten them all. There is no one in the locker room right now who can come close to taking this championship away from me. The time I won't be champion will be a very...(short pause) very long time from now.

Crowd roars as Randy exits and we go to our next match.

We see Trent Baretta making his way down the ramp as we see that JTG is already in the ring. The crowd seems interested as the two competitors haven't seen much TV time and is awaiting to see who comes out on top.

Match 2
JTG vs. Trent Baretta​

The bell is rung and this signals the beginning of the match. JTG goes for a quick clothesline but Baretta ducks and gets behind JTG. Baretta follows this up with a german suplex. He goes for the pin, 1,2, kickout by JTG.

Booker T: Pretty quick roll-up in the match.

Josh Matthews: Well, that's actually a smart thing as the opponent wouldn't think you'd go for a quick pin. You might actually surprise him with the pinfall.

Michael Cole: Well what do you know about wrestling in matches Josh? You're not Mr. Wrestlemania like I am.

Josh and Booker look puzzled at this comment by Cole.

Back in the ring, Baretta connects with a dropkick to JTG. Baretta tries another one, but JTG avoids it this time and hits with a neckbreaker. JTG whips Baretta to the corner and gives him a boot to the face. JTG tries to go for the Shout Out but is reversed into a an arm drag. After 2 successful arm drags, Baretta sets JTG up in the corner for a tornado DDT which he connects with.

Booker T: Ooooooh, that was a heavy impact DDT.

Baretta goes for the pin, 1, 2, 3.

Tony Chimel: And the winner of this match, Trent Baretta.

The two lock up and Kane gets the early advantage on the rookie as he connects with his throat thrusts. He follows that up by whipping Ryan to the ropes and gets a boot to Ryan's face.

Backstage scene where we see Daniel Bryan talking to AJ Lee and welcomes her to the Smackdown brand. Wade Barrett passes by with the Intercontinental Championship on his shoulder. He has a smirk on his face. He told AJ that she shouldn't be hanging around with Bryan because she'll be reeking of mediocrity. He continues to say that Bryan has done nothing since NXT and that he wasn't Nexus-worthy. Bryan excuses himself from AJ as she leaves, then says that at least he didn't need a group of henchmen to become United States Champion at one point in his career. That wipes the smirk off Barrett's face as he delivers a boot to Bryan. He pummels Bryan delivering lefts and rights proving what a brawler he is.

Alright Jammy, I owe you a review here. I'll be focusing mainly on SD as Raw got you plenty of feedback and I'd just be repeating their words. So onto SD shall we?

-Overall I like the format. It is nicely set and very easy on the eyes and not a force to read. I like that and it keeps me more interested in the show, as I don't have to force myself to concentrate and read it. Love the different font, it really works.

-I wish the matches would be a bit longer, but I understand the reasoning behind that. Complete match writing is a hassle (trust me I go full out). Plus sometimes it is nice to take a break and read shorter matches as it just isn't a drag. Though I'd go a little more in full with detail. Even in a shorter form, your match writing is good so that is definitely a plus.

-I like that the beginning of SD is focusing on some risers in the ranks like Trenty, Dibiase, Bourne, the Usos, Londrick (great team, good to see them back), and Mason Ryan. SD is obviously the weaker crop of talent, but showcasing what they have will definitely build them up.

-Loved that Cody Rhodes won. I'm a huge Rhodes mark and I would love to see what I could stir up with him, but Peep is hogging him . Rhodes and Orton have history and I really can't wait to see what comes from that.

-Promos need some work. They are difficult to begin with and it is definitely the weakest part of my writing. Promos can be hit or miss, I've missed plenty of times. Promos come with time. Can't just pick up it up right away. Keep working on them and they'll start to come around.

-Wrapping it up, it is good to see more talent around these parts. We need stuff like this to keep this section going, no matter what the scenario is in the BT. You will keep improving with each show and I trust that each show will continue to get better. Keep up the great work Jimmy Jam Jam.

Orlov has Baretta in a sleeperhold but is broken up when Baretta lands a few elbows on Orlov. Baretta bounces off the ropes and greets Orlov with a leg lariat.

Todd Grisham: Wow, that was a heavy impact move. Evan Bourne sure has a lot of moves in his arsenal.

Matt Striker: That's the kind of wrestler Evan Bourne is Todd. He's fast but can perform heavy impact moves like that at anytime during the match.

Bourne delivers a dropkick to Curt as he gets up. Bourne goes for a clothesline on Hawkins but is met with an elbow. This drops Bourne. Hawkins begins stomping on Bourne as he adds a fisherman suplex to that. Hawkins gets Bourne up and sets him up for his facebuster and connects. Instead of going for the pin, Hawkins goes up top for an elbow drop. Bourne rolls out of the way and delivers a Hurricanarana on Hawkins as Bourne this time goes up the turnbuckle. Bourne points to the crowd and hits his Shooting Star Press for the pinfall.

Matt Striker: He should've went for the pin on Bourne when he hit his facebuster.

Todd Grisham: Well you know how it goes Matt, you perform out there for the fans. And Hawkins thought he could connect from up top.

Matt Striker: That's true Todd, but sometimes you just gotta be smart.

Jey bounces off the ropes and tries for a clothesline but misses as Kendrick delivers a spinning heel kick. Before anyone could do anything else. Unified Tag Team Champions Gabriel & Slater make their way down the ring as they clock Brian and Jey in the temple with their titles. Paul and Jimmy come into the match but meet the same fate as their partners. The tag champs throw out each person clearing the ring. The taunt the crowd and hold up their championship as WWE Superstars goes off the air.

First, like to say I like the format. It's very easy on the eyes and I like to read it.

Now, for the show. I'd like to see matches go a little bit longer. It seems that a guy hits a couple of moves and then they get the pin, which never really happens in real life except in squash matches, and I am assuming your matches aren't all squashes. Next, I like the push of younger talent such as T-Locks, The Usos, Londrick, and DiBiase. Not a big fan of Mason Ryan, I think he sucks, but maybe you can change my opinion on him.

I loved the opening promo, I thought you nailed all three guys perfectly. Cody Rhodes is just amazing on the mic and I love hearing him talk. The heel vs. heel vs. heel in different, but Smackdown is heel heavy and it will do until more faces get developed. The DiBiase promo was weird, but it worked for what it was. The Orton promo was good as well, and I liked it.

I loved Rhodes picking up the win in the main event, I like seeing him pushed and it will be interesting to see where it goes. He and Orton have history which could make for a good story in the feud. I can't wait to see the promos between the two, it will make for some interesting interactions. The feud has huge potential and I am excited for it.

Overall it was a pretty good show. Nothing to write home about, but solid show. Your match writing is the main focus point I would want to work on if I were you. The promos aren't the best, but they work for your experience level and will come along well. Overall it was a solid show, good luck in writing the show and I can't wait to see more.

Also, I like the idea of Superstars, it is always a good little show, but you definitely need to write more in your matches if you are doing a show like that.

#1Peep's Smackdown Review​

Here we go jam, time to review your second ever show. I have read through RAW but I'll only give my thoughts on Smackdown. Standard way to open the show with the GM and he announces a triple threat for the number one contender. A little too similar to RAW but we will see where it goes. The promos were a little bland; they didn't mean anything. That is the biggest problem I see with some BTs, the promos have no meaning. Most, pratically every, segment on a show should have a purpose behind it, this is something you can work on. Again, this promo was a little lame but it gave Ted a victory and a feud with Evan Borune is set up.

Ryan has a nice promo, Barreta goes over - probably a push coming for him on Smackdown. Nice win for Londrick, looking good on their return, hopefully you rebuild the tag division. BIG win for Mason and I see you pushing him to far places, in the BT world there are no botches or buggered promos so it could work. Barrett feuding with Bryan could be a great thing - try and keep Bryan off the mic and let him do his talking in the mic. Unusual to have three heels in a triple threat but at least it keeps it unexpected - each man has an equal chance of winning unlike if a face was in there. Overall, allright show jam but you are still learning. You need to put more thought into each show and plan the promos and matches before you write them. Just keep taking on advice and you will improve.
