Nice roster. Will you be postin a Smackdown/COLOR] roster as well??

 

[RatedDTM]

As im new to this i want to focus solely on one show to make that the best as i can, as i get more used to it and if future storylines require it i may add SmackDown to my promotion.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out.

The Biggest Royal Rumble in history was held at Madison Square Garden. In front of over 18,000 wild WWE Fans The Miz was victorious claiming a WrestleMania main event spot against the WWE Champion...

Speaking of the WWE Championship, CM Punk defeated holder Alberto Del Rio to win the WWE Championship.

WWE Chairman, Mr. McMahon is expected to open RAW this week with an announcement to be made regarding the future direction of the WWE and will we learn anything more about the WWE Network?

Royal Rumble winner, The Miz will be in attendance this week and he will surely have something to say regarding his historic Rumble win.

With Elimination Chamber just three weeks away will we learn the names of the 5 men who will challenge New WWE Champion, CM Punk inside the feared structure... all this and more on Monday Night RAW.
​

 

[RatedDTM]

Michael Cole: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Monday Night RAW, we are 24 hours removed from an historic Royal Rumble, The Miz is headed to WrestleMania and we have a brand new WWE Champion here on the brand new WWE Network. We are expected to learn tonight the 5 men who will challenge new WWE Champion CM Punk inside the Elimination Chamber, taking place in just three weeks time.

“No Chance in Hell” WWE Chairman Vince McMahon strides down to the ring.

Jerry Lawler: And we are kicking things off tonight with the chairman of the board… Mr. McMahon.



Mr. McMahon: Last night was the biggest Royal Rumble in WWE history, 41 WWE Superstars stepped between the ropes at Madison Square Garden for the opportunity to main event WrestleMania 28 in Miami. But only one man walked away victorious and that man was The Miz.

Not only did he win the biggest Rumble in history but he did so on the first ever programme to air on this, the brand new WWE Network. Good luck to The Miz as he begins his journey on the road to WrestleMania.

I'm out here tonight to announce that my daughter Stephanie, the COO of the WWE is to be given a considerable amount of power relating to the running of the WWE and in particular Monday Night RAW, I will still oversee things and have my own input but it is this decision which will allow me to know that the WWE will be in safe hands when I ultimately leave. Myself and my daughter will run a new supergroup of WWE directors now known as ‘The WWE Network.

So with that being said please welcome my daughter and the COO of the WWE… Stephanie McMahon…

“All Grown Up” Stephanie McMahon makes her way to the ring.

Stephanie McMahon: Thanks Dad. Its such an honour to be entrusted with increased power in the company that belonged to my grandfather and now my father, I will not let you down and I wont let the fans down!

My first action as a member of the WWE Network is to name the five men who, along with CM Punk, will enter the Elimination Chamber to fight for the WWE Championship in three weeks time.

The five superstars are… ‘The Great White’ Sheamus… Wade Barrett… Chris Jericho… the former champion Alberto Del Rio and finally… Daniel Bryan

Mr McMahon interrupts.

Mr. McMahon: Really!? That guy!

Stephanie shrugs off her fathers interruption.

Stephanie McMahon: Along with facing each other at the Elimination Chamber, all six men will be in action in one on one matches tonight including a Royal Rumble rematch when Alberto Del Rio goes one on one with CM Punk for the WWE Championship.

The crowd go wild at the prospect of the WWE title being defended tonight.

Vince interrupts once again.

Mr. McMahon: I think your getting a little ahead of yourself there. We will not be having a WWE Championship match tonight!

Stephanie McMahon: But…

Mr. McMahon: No buts, now come on, we have work to do.

Stephanie looks agitated as the pair leave the ring.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Backstage…
Vince and Stephanie McMahon are in their office.

Stephanie McMahon:
I appreciate that your giving me more responsibility around here but…

Mr. McMahon:
But what!?

Stephanie McMahon:
Well you just completely over-ruled me out there earlier and questioned my decision about Daniel Bryan in the Elimination Chamber!

Mr. McMahon:
I just didn’t want the prestigious WWE title defended in this crappy city. And as for Daniel Bryan I don’t think he is WWE champion material but you made the call so I will leave him in the match.

Stephanie McMahon:
Thank You, I just want you to have a little faith in the decisions I make from now on please.

Vince smiles at Stephanie as she leaves the office.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Match 1
No.1 Contenders Match – Intercontinental Championship.
Zack Ryder vs. Alex Riley

“We Want Ryder” chants fill out the arena as the bell is rung to signal the start of the match. Ryder and Riley lock up in the middle of the ring, the stronger Riley gains the advantage and throws Ryder into the corner of the ring. Riley runs towards Ryder who gets a leg up and hits Riley square in the chin. Riley staggers back and Ryder connects with a standing drop-kick. Riley falls to the floor.

Ryder fists pumps whilst the crowd chants “Woo… Woo… Woo”
Ryder covers Riley but he kicks out at 2. Both men pause as they take a break from the hectic start to the match. The two superstars circle the ring looking for an opportunity. Riley kicks Ryder in the stomach before whipping him against the ropes, Ryder manages to grab hold of the ropes stopping himself. Riley races towards him and clotheslines Ryder out the ring, Riley’s momentum forces himself out the ring also.

The ref starts a count. 1…2…3…4…5…6.
Riley is the first man back in the ring. 7…8. Ryder slides under the bottom rope. Riley picks Ryder up by the head, he tries to lift him onto his shoulder for his finishing move, Ryder scrambles and frees himself, he dropkicks Riley into the corner of the ring, Riley falls into the seated position. Ryder fists pumps with the crowd before connecting with the ‘Broski Boot.’

Ryder lifts up the ‘LI’ sign and waits for Riley to get back to his feet. Riley does so and Ryder charges towards him and attempts the ‘Rough Ryder’ Riley manages to use Ryder’s momentum to lift him up and over his head, Riley attempts with a hard clothesline but Ryder ducks and as both men turn to face each other Ryder connects with the ‘Rough Ryder’ and covers Riley for the 1…2…3

Winner via pinfall and Number One Contender… Zack Ryder.​

Ryder celebrates in the ring as the camera cuts...

Backstage... Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes is stood by a monitor watching the celebrations.

Goldust sneaks up behind him.

Goldust: BOO!

Cody is startled and turns to see the gold covered face of his older brother.

Cody Rhodes: What do you think you are doing!?

Cody doesn’t wait for an answer as he walks away.

Back in the ring, Ryder’s hand is being raised as the winner. He fist pumps with the crowd as they chant “Woo…Woo…Woo”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spoiler

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alberto Del Rio barges into the WWE Network Office to find Stephanie alone.

Alberto Del Rio: What the hell is your problem! I have an automatic rematch clause in my contract which I wanted to use on that gringo Punk tonight but instead I have to face him in a non-title match!

Stephanie McMahon: Firstly, learn to knock and secondly it wasn’t me that changed it to a non-title match, that was my fathers decision. You will get your chance to win back the WWE title inside the Elimination Chamber, now if you’ll excuse me I have work to do.

Del Rio looks annoyed as he leaves the office. He bumps into Wade Barrett and his associate, William Regal, in the corridor.

Wade Barrett: Well Well if it isn’t the former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio. How did it feel to have your 15 minutes of fame! Because that’s the last your going to see of the WWE title because once I'm finished with that little weed Daniel Bryan tonight I'm heading to the chamber to become the first English WWE Champion and I plan on keeping the title a lot longer than 15 minutes.

Barrett pushes past Del Rio and heads towards the ring.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Match 2
Elimination Chamber Warm-Up Match
Daniel Bryan vs. Wade Barrett.

Michael Cole: Earlier tonight COO Stephanie McMahon announced the six men to compete inside the Elimination Chamber in three weeks time would face each other in one on one competition tonight, this is the first of those three matches.

Jerry Lawler: A great decision by the COO and I feel that these two are so evenly matched that we are in for a good match.

Michael Cole: You have to wonder what factor if any William Regal, Barrett’s associate will be during the course of this match.

“Flight of the Valkyries” Daniel Bryan heads to the ring.

Wade Barrett runs through the curtain and hits Bryan from behind, Bryans face clatters with the ramp as he falls forwards. Barrett takes a moment to revel in the hatred from the crowd. Barrett picks Bryan up and throws him into the ring steps, the arena shudders at the sound of the impact of Bryans body and the steel steps.

William Regal casually walks down the ramp, pushing Barrett to go further. Referees race to ringside but Regal stops them from getting near to Bryan or Barrett. Barrett rests Bryan against the steel ring post, he takes a run up and smashes his boot into the side of Bryan’s head. Bryan collapses in a heap.

Referees and WWE officials try to get to Barrett but they struggle to get past William Regal. Barrett heads towards the announce desk, he lifts the cover off and brushes aside the monitors and other bits on the table. Cole and Lawler get out of the way. Barrett grabs Daniel Bryan an drags him over to the announce desk.

“All grown up” Stephanie McMahon heads through the curtain and stands on the stage.

Stephanie McMahon: Wade, That’s enough! Now I'm warning you, if you even think about putting Daniel Bryan through that table then you will forfeit your spot in the Elimination Chamber match.

Barrett puts Bryan on his shoulders, he looks up at Stephanie then back at the announce desk. He lets out a shriek then slams Bryan through the table shattering it.

Stephanie McMahon: Then you have left me no choice... Wade Barrett you are out of the Chamber and you’re suspended indefinitely.

Wade Barrett doesn’t seem bothered by this news as he grabs William Regal and the two leave with the security personnel.​

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Backstage and Wade Barrett is being escorted out of the building by security, Alberto Del Rio walks past and winks at Barrett.

Zack Ryder heads into the WWE Network Office and is greeted by Stephanie McMahon.

Zack Ryder: Hi Steph, you wanted to see me?

Stephanie McMahon: Hi Zack, yes I wanted to congratulate you on becoming the number one contender to the Intercontinental Championship and I wanted to tell you that you will get your match at the Elimination Chamber Pay Per View in three weeks time.

Zack Ryder: Thank you Steph, me and the Zack Pack cannot wait to fish pump Cody Rhodes’ face and become the new Intercontinental Champion, Woo Woo Woo You Know…

Vince McMahon walks in the room.

Mr. McMahon: It! That never gets old!

Listen Zack you wouldn’t have been my first choice to be the Number One Contender but you and Alexy Riley put on a good match out there so… actually that’s given me an idea, at the Elimination Chamber its going to be Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Zack Ryder vs… Alex Riley.

Zack Ryder: Are you serious Bro! I earnt a one on one match you cant take that away from me!

Mr. McMahon: I'm the chairman of the board I can make any match I want, now if you don’t leave you wont be in the match at all!

Zack Ryder leaves the Office looking unhappy.

Stephanie McMahon: What was that! He beat Riley and earnt that match!

Mr.McMahon: You have so much to learn Stephanie!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Match 3
Elimination Chamber Warm-Up Match
Chris Jericho vs. Sheamus

Jericho seems cautious to get the match started and on a number of occasions slips under the ropes when Sheamus attempts to get near him, finally the referee begins to lose patience and orders Jericho in the ring or he will risk disqualification. Jericho enters the ring and the two men lock up in the middle of the ring.

Sheamus gains the early advantage when he grabs Jericho’s leg after an attempted kick to the mid section, Sheamus smiles and Jericho hops on one leg. Sheamus lifts the leg he is holding up which makes Jericho fall to the mat. Sheamus goes to drop an elbow on Jericho’s chest but Y2J rolls out of the way.

Jericho now has control as he stomps on Sheamus’ chest, Jericho does so with such veracity that the referee instigates a 5 count to break up the attack, Jericho does so on 4. Jericho picks Sheamus up an attempts a drop kick but Sheamus swats Y2J away, Jericho again heads for the ropes and puts his head under the top rope, as Sheamus heads towards him the referee puts himself in between both men, as he does so Jericho rakes Sheamus’ eyes.

Sheamus stumbles backwards clutching his face, blinded by the cowardly attack, Jerichio pushes the referee aside and connects with the ‘Code-breaker’, the force of the move knocks Sheamus out of the ring. Jericho is clearly annoyed as he heads out of the ring to pick Sheamus up and roll him back in.

Sheamus slowly gets back to his feet as he is rolled into the ring and as Jericho himself slides under the bottom rope he is met with a ‘Brogue Kick’ Sheamus falls on top of Jericho, still suffering with his eyes and picks up the win.

Winner via pinfall… Sheamus.​

Sheamus heads to the back as Jericho lay motionless in the ring.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Backstage... Matt Striker is with the WWE Tag Team Champions… Air Boom.​

Matt Striker: Air Boom, WWE COO Stephanie McMahon announced via her twitter page that she loves tag team wrestling and will do everything she can to make the tag team division here in the WWE as competitive as she can, and she has proved that already with the acquisition of ‘The Worlds Greatest Tag Team’ Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas, who will soon make their debuts what are your thoughts about this and the competition for your titles?

Evan Bourne: Well Matt we love competition and if that means facing every challenger and defending these titles every week then we will do it.

Kofi Kingston: That’s right Evan, Benjamin and Haas are a great team and we look forward to them debuting but there are tag teams already here that are good enough to be tag champions, the Uso’s are a great team so the tag division is really going to explode soon.

Hunico, Epico and Primo walk into the interview area.

Hunico: That is so typical of you not to mention us when talking about a competitive tag team division eh! Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is eh! Face us next week eh! And if your as competitive as you say your are eh! When we win, you will give us a tag team title match!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Match 4
Brodus Clay vs. John Morrison

Michael Cole: We have heard so much about this monster Brodus Clay and tonight he debuts.

John Morrison looks apprehensive as he enters the ring. The bell is rung and the match is underway. Morrison steams straight in with kicks to Brodus’ knees and the back of his legs. Brodus seems unfazed by the assault as he grabs Morrison by the scruff of the neck and throws him into the corner of the ring.

Brodus charges at Morrison, arms stretched out but Morrison manages to move out of the way, Morrison jumps up using the leverage of the second rope and connects with a kick to the back of Brodus’ head, Brodus staggers out of the corner, not leaving his feet, as Morrison climbs to the top rope.

Brodus turns to face Morrison as he comes flying from the top rope, Brodus catches Morrison in mid-air. He connects with a thunderous Samoan back drop with force. Brodus covers Morrison 1…2…3

Winner via pinfall… Brodus Clay​

Jerry Lawler: What power this behemoth has to catch a grown man in the air. This Brodus Clay is certainly one to watch out for.

Brodus picks Morrison up and throws him onto his shoulders and connects with yet another Samoan back drop. He then pulls himself of the ropes and hits a big splash across the body of a stricken John Morrison.

Brodus again picks Morrison up but this time “Domination” Ezekiel Jackson rushes to the ring, Brodus stands face to face with Ezekiel before smirking and leaving the ring. Brodus walks backwards up the ramp not taking his eyes off Ezekiel Jackson.

Jackson mouths “pick on someone your own size” before helping Morrison back to his feet and helping him to the back.

During a promotional video for WWE Womens Champion Mickie James the screen goes fuzzy and black and white before the following message appears.

Spoiler

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Backstage... in the WWE Network office… Vince McMahon is on the phone.

Mr. McMahon: Listen I know what I said and you did it perfectly. I wasn’t expecting what happened afterwards but turn up for RAW next week and we will sort it all out, trust me.

McMahon puts down the phone and smirks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main Event.
WWE Champion CM Punk vs. Alberto Del Rio
Non-Title - Elimination Chamber Warm-Up Match

Before both men come down to the ring a recap video is shown from the Royal Rumble Pay Per View held the night before when CM Punk defeated Alberto Del Rio to become the new WWE Champion.

Michael Cole: What a match these two had last night at Madison Square Garden with the WWE title on the line, tonight they do it all again but by order of Mr. McMahon this match is not for the championship.

Jerry Lawler: It should have been after COO Stephanie McMahon announced it as a title match but her father and chairman of the WWE over-ruled her.

Michael Cole: Yeah that must have been embarrassing, her first night on the job and her father and boss overrules her decisions.

“CM Punk” “CM Punk” chants fill the arena as the two men are introduced, the bell is rung and the match is underway. Del Rio draws Punk over to the ropes, as Punk goes to punch Del Rio he grabs Punks arm and as he jumps off the apron Punks arm feels the force and burn of the ropes. Del Rio slides back into the ring and rolls Punk up, grabbing a handful of his trunks in the process. Punk gets out at 2.

Punk looks frustrated at Del Rio having the first offence. Punk races towards Del Rio who again slips out of the ring to re-group with Ricardo Rodriguez. Punk chases Del Rio around ring-side before Del Rio rolls back in, Punk does the same and as he does Del Rio drops a hard elbow on Punk’s lower back. Del Rio, rather than capitolising decides to taunt the fans in attendance which allows Punk to get back to his feet.

Del Rio attempts a drop-kick but Punk gets out of the way, Del Rio gets back to his feet and is irish whipped into the corner of the ring. Punk connects with some forearms to the face and then a kick to the back of the head. Punk backs off before racing towards Del Rio and hitting his square in the face with a high knee, Punk keeps hold of Del Rio and runs out of the corner hitting the bulldog.

The crowd begin to liven as Punk takes full control, he lifts Del Rio up and hoists him onto his shoulders, as he does Rodriguez climbs onto the apron, Punk drops Del Rio and punches Rodriguez sending him flying. As punk turns around Del Rio grabs Punks arm and spins him into the cross arm-breaker. Punk writhes in pain before edging towards the ropes breaking the move.

Del Rio sensing victory picks Punk up by pulling his hair, he grabs the sore arm of the champion and attempts to lock the move in again but as he does the lights in the arena turn blue and yellow, smoke emerges from the stage and an explosion of fireworks erupts.

With Del Rio distracted Punk reverses the attempted cross arm breaker and manages, in pain, to hoist Del Rio onto his shoulders and connects with the ‘GTS’ Punk covers Del Rio 1…2…3

Winner via pinfall, WWE Champion… CM Punk.​

CM Punk celebrates and heads up the ramp. Del Rio comes around the ring and he and Rodriguez look bewildered as a name appears on screen…

Jam's Review​

Hey man, you've got a new thread here in the BT section so I thought that I'd stop by for a review.

The bickering between Stephanie and Vince McMahon throughout the show has got me wondering if there's a bigger picture here. Definitely got me interested when I read that.

CM Punk as champion is great as he gets a lot of pop from the fans. Seems like Del Rio and Punk will be feuding so I'm guessing Punk retains at the Elimination Chamber.

I see that you've put spoiler and that's really good. So first we see Brodus Clay, who is an impressive individual. Next up is Kharma for sure and her and Mickie James should put on some great matches. I'm intrigued that you made Sin Cara's vignette show AFTER the main event. Looks like you'll be making Sin Cara a main event player right away.

Overall, I like your show. It's easy to read, to the point. Maybe some more dialogue would've been good. Again, just PM me if you need help with graphics. But anyway, the point of all this is to have fun writing it and to have fun reading it. So I'll be coming back to read your next episode. Good luck with this!

RatedDTM’s ‘WWE: The Network’ – GCB’s RAW REVIEW

Hi mate, thought I’d give your new thread a quick review. Starting from the roster, looks good – you’ve gotten rid of some of the bigger names like Cena and Orton which obviously gives you a chance to build some of the mid carders up into main event players – am looking for Miz, Barrett, Rhodes, Sheamus, Ryder, Kofi and Bryan to make a big move up the rankings. Just a minor thing but I would have preferred you to just post a roster that wasn’t split into faces and heels – your storylines should make it clear who is heel and who is face. I notice it in a lot of new BT’s and I don’t like it! Anyway, like I said, a minor gripe, let’s get on with the first show! It’s RAW and it’s the night after the Royal Rumble where Miz won the Rumble and CM Punk is the WWE Champion. But will we get Punk vs. Miz at WrestleMania?

FORMATTING: Like the use of the images and formatting – nice and clear. Your matches are clear as well and are easy to follow. The matches were written in a simple format but I would like to see a little extra detail for the main event and lots more detail when you reach your first PPV!

Cole introduces the upcoming Elimination Chamber PPV and the expected identification of the five challengers to CM Punk in the Chamber. Here comes Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the chairman. Good to have him back, hope he is going to be back to being a complete and utter bar-steward like he was ten years ago. Stephanie McMahon is the powerful COO according to Vince – I’ll see how it goes. Stephanie introduces Sheamus (lose the ‘Great White’ description, turn him heel!), Barrett, Jericho, Del Rio and Bryan. Already looks as if you are going to build some of the guys I suggested in Barrett, Sheamus and Bryan. Title match tonight, Del Rio vs. Punk. Cool. Vince interrupting Steph already – problem with D-Bryan and the title match. Good start – maybe a little more detail needed for the main promo as I would like to see in the main event match. The important parts need more detail for me! Steph upset with her Dad so I’m expecting you to be going somewhere with this story.

RYDER vs. RILEY: Good, solid win for Zack Ryder. Cody Rhodes vs. Zack Ryder for the IC Title down the line then? I’m a fan of Ryder as much as anybody but don’t push him too fast, it needs to be slow and believable. I am hoping, in real life, that WWE hold back on Ryder and the US Title until WM28 – it would make it a huge feel-good moment when it happens then. Backstage moment between Goldust and Cody – could be interesting!

Alberto Del Rio not impressed with Steph (and Vince), Wade Barrett rubs it in a little more. Like the idea of Barrett having Regal as an associate – Barrett could use a mouthpiece to help push him further. Wade attacks Bryan on the entrance, Regal urging him on against his former protégé. Oh my! Barrett out of the Elimination Chamber and suspended by Steph, interesting. Del Rio gets some revenge with a wink. Ryder to challenge Cody Rhodes at EC but Vince adds in Riley – once again over-ruling his daughter. More tension between the pair!

Heel Jericho, good call. I’d like heel Sheamus as well but you’re going with him as a face. Good win for Sheamus which suggests that he is going to be a big contender come Elimination Chamber. Solid match between them. Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin to return, looks as if they are going to be going straight after Air Boom based on that interview. Hunico and his team-mates also looking to become a big contender as well.

BRODUS CLAY vs. MORRISON: Before I read this one, I am hoping that Brodus knocks over Morrison. He is debuting, he needs to debut as a monster and taking out Jo-Mo would be a good start. And great call, he does just that. Dominating win over an established star. Looking forward to seeing him running rough-shod over the mid-carders over the coming weeks. Continues the assault and Ezekiel Jackson comes to the rescue – does make Morrison look weak. He should have just taken the beating and Brodus could be interrupted again later by Jackson to set up that feud.

Mickie James promo interrupted, clearly Kharma. Look forward to that later.

What is Vince McMahon up to? Hmmm.

CM PUNK vs. ALBERTO DEL RIO: Good, solid win for Punk, would have preferred more detail, like I said before, for the main event. Sin Cara’s name appears on the screen? Hope he won’t be replacing Barrett, that is a backward move for me. The main event didn’t really do much to increase my interest in the WWE Championship match at Elimination Chamber though.

OVERALL: A solid first show, some moments of interest – you need to excite the reader with something unexpected IMO. I like you leaving out Orton and Cena but you need a good build up for the mid-carders. Barrett being ditched for Sin Cara – if that is what you are doing – is a bad move in my opinion. I’d have Vince rehire him – that might be what you are doing with the suspicious call given that Wade wasn’t interested when Steph ‘suspended’ him ... Good start, looking forward to an improvement over the coming shows.

GCB

 

[RatedDTM]

Thanks Jam and GCB for your reviews, makes it all worth while when fellow BT'ers take the time and effort to read and review shows as you will know. I will get around to having an in depth look at both of your's shows as well and giving my feedback.

I would agree that i am a little thin in detail and dialogue in this first show but once i get more shows under my belt i will get more confident and start adding in more each week. PPV's will undoubtedly contain more match detail than weekly shows.

Im glad you both noticed the tension between Vince and Steph, i personally thought i may have done a little too much with that considering it's the first show but i wanted to get the message out straight away that Vince especially is going to have trouble giving up power.

GCB your comment about Zeke making the save too early was a great observation, one i never thought about so thanks for that, that will come in handy in the future.

Thanks again guys, it really is appreciated. i cant wait for you to come back and see how i do in the coming weeks... and like i said i will get onto your shows as soon as possible

 

[Out(ast]

hey man, i really enjoyed reading the first show and cant wait to see what you come up with in the futcher. i especially loved the morrisson\santino tag team.

 

[RatedDTM]

Thanks for posting Out(ast but i think you may have the wrong BT... there is no Santino/Morrison tag team in my promotion...


Sorry for the delay in getting the second show up... it will be posted before the end of the week.
Thanks
