WWE Championship: The Rock vs. John Cena - Part-time wrestler vs Vinnie Mac's meal ticket among babyfaces. This one's going to be easy to predict. Though I hope the rubber match does not take place at WM30. We don't need THRICE in a Lifetime! The Undertaker vs. CM Punk - 20-1. Taker's a sentimental favorite, especially following Paul Bearer's passing, but if there's someone on the active roster worthy to break the streak, it's The Best in the World. Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H - Too early for Triple H to call it a career. The Shield vs. Big Show, Randy Orton and Sheamus - I'm among those predicting an Orton heel turn will take place. He's been begging for a heel turn for quite a while, and he just might get it here. World Heavyweight Championship: Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger - Tough call, but Del Rio vs Ziggler post-cash-in seems like the next logical feud. And I agree there's a chance the WWE is waiting for WM29 to wrap up before punishing Swagger for his DUI. Ryback vs. Mark Henry - Feed him more...momentum. Not a fan of either of them, but I predict Ryback wins the match and the feud and moves on to another one (please, not Cena), while Henry returns to squashing the likes of Zack Ryder, Yoshi Tatsu, Alex Riley, etc. Chris Jericho vs. Fandango - In as much as I've been a Jerichoholic since his WCW days, he's the gatekeeper here. I expect a strong debut for the wrestler formerly known as Johnny Curtis. Tag Team Championship: Hell No vs. Zig-E & AJ - Maybe Team Hell No isn't on the same page after all...perhaps it's also time for either the Big Red Machine or the Goatface to turn heel, but probably not at 'Mania. Tons of Funk vs Rhodes Scholars - This should have been the pre-show, IMHO. Still, I prefer intellectual bromance and Twin Magic to two dancing monsters regardless of who their valets are. Intercontinental Championship: Miz vs. Barrett - This probably won't end Miz's awful face turn, but it's too early for Barrett to drop the title.

Good point. Wonder what creative really has in store for Wade Barrett aside from those short-lived feuds. And what happened to Bo Dallas? He seems to have vanished off the face of RAW since his impressive debut and, at that time, sort-of interesting feud with Barrett.

Worker(s): Richie Pangrazzio Jr. Requested Change(s): I imported him to the Default database for my diary game, and I'm having him return to the SWF in 2013 as Spencer Spade and Lenny Brown's manager. Is it possible to have him look like he's 57, with gray hair and a slightly chubbier build? http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Heych-Gee-Cee/RichiePangrazzioJr_zps3540dc1a.jpg Worker(s): Freddy Huggins, Bulldozer Brandon Smith Requested Change(s): They're Eric Eisen's kayfabe frat brothers from Syracuse in my diary game. No changes to their faces on the default pictures, but if we can have them wearing orange jackets like the one below, that would be nice. http://www.flightclubny.com/p.php?fc=ny&c=non&i=700495 Many thanks! May have more mod requests for CV97 guys soon as part of the diary's "Old School" thing...

Stoopid Cal Sanders ending Alan Pawent win stweak! #PawentWasWobbed

Paradigm vs Canadian Crusher - Canadian squash. The Paratroopers vs Southern Hospitality - Texas-style squash. Stanley Carpenter vs Nomad - User character squash...ed. Cal Sanders vs Alan Parent w/ Kammy Ling - I'd love to see Puwowesu Squash, but this won't be a squash. I pwedict Pawent wins a hard-fought battle, goes on to face Nomad, and goes over as a face, win or lose. Skip Beau vs Davie Renluenn - Tough choice here. Perhaps it's time for Benny from Philly, er...Davie...to do the job.

Fandango - Tonight was the night that you...ALMOST...almost...got to see the debut of... Random fan - JOHNNY CURTIS!!! I LOL'd. Wonder whom the WWE is going to have him feud with...

Thanks! And keep up the good work with both backstage segments and the shows themselves. This. Cal Sanders vs Canadian Crusher Paranoia vs Joffy Laine - Poor Paratroopers. Paradox vs Davie Renluenn - If it's FBI, they've got to be over. Paradigm vs Alan Parent w/ Kammy Ling - Pawent will always go over Pawadigm...or was that Pawadox? Pawanoia?Whatever. Stanley Carpenter vs Tex Tagan - See Paradox vs Renluenn. But this time, the older FBI agent gets the win... Skip Beau vs Nomad © - Florida Bay Heavyweight Championship - Couple more months for Nomad...

Thanks!

I MIGHT also be starting my own HGC diary set in 1997, this time based on the Heidenreich challenge. Either that, or focus on one of the smaller promotions, or go 0/0/0/0. Thinking of the best way to go for my "side project" diary... The idea for the HGC diary: - JK Stallings Jr., nerdy 16-year-old gazillionaire and owner of HGC, hires the school bully of "The Verb", Verbum Dei High School in Los Angeles as his new head booker. Unfortunately, it looks like Roman Heidenseik, the school bully, will not be graduating with the rest of his class at the rate his grades are going. With that in mind, Heidenseik drops out and decides to work for the kid he used to wedgie on a regular basis. - Heidenseik will be wrestling as Rome Strong (tentative name), Sam Strong's kayfabe son. And he'll also be cutting promos that start out with "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, BROTHER!" - At first, Heidenseik and Stallings will definitely not get along well due to their antagonistic relationship in school. But they will learn to work together, and eventually become friends.

Great thread! I strongly suggest this thread be stickied. I also find these PDF versions handy, as it allows me to read TEW diaries while on the road and without any access to the Internet... If I can make a request...how about James Casey's SWF: Who is Richard Eisen?

Paradigm vs Alan Parent - Pawent's puwowesu > high-fwying Pawadigm Paradox vs Tex Tagan - FBI FTW! Stanley Carpenter vs Davie Renluenn - See above. Skip Beau vs Joffy Laine Cal Sanders vs Nomad ©

Just started following this diary and I'm really impressed. Great backstage segments and great idea to focus on the three FBI agents on Richard Eisen's tail. I happen to have Renluenn and Tagan in RIPW - Renluenn is working as Plato Stark since he reminds me of a '50s greaser, while Tagan is himself, a marginal worker with a cowboy gimmick - and they might play a part in my diary game at some point. That said, I hope to join in on the predictions for the next show.

^Hilarious! Vince's "Cena Wins" meme is priceless...

The moment I heard about Cena winning the Royal Rumble (will watch it later or tomorrow), I knew Captain Obvious was doing the booking. Rock vs Cena at WM29, then Rock putting Cena over and returning to his Hollywood commitments. Stuff like that makes me wish I hadn't followed through on my New Year's resolution to watch more WWE and get caught up on the storylines. Then again, I think we may have some interesting stuff for the next RAW. Could we be seeing the end of Team Hell No?

Brilliant...much appreciated! No problem about the lack of a Cage render.

Requesting a couple alts for my diary game to match the workers' crappy starting gimmicks... Worker - Ash Campbell Requested Changes - Something more in the lines of a "Pretentious Artist"...darker hair, hipster-style glasses and shirt, perhaps. Worker - Roger Cage Requested Changes - He's working a "Hippy-Crite" gimmick (switched face and heel attributes for the Hippy gimmick) so I'm thinking of longer hair and a bandanna. Thanks!

Giving serious thought about a second diary. (Will definitely keep on with the SWF 2013 diary, though!) I'd like to think of this potential second diary as my TEW 2013 equivalent of a side project band, as I've always wanted to give 0/0/0/0 a shot. So if I push forward with this, it may not be updated as often as my SWF/KP Avatar diary. Going to run a few more test games for this idea, and if all goes well and I've got free time, Diary #2 should be good to go. Not at home, so can't insert any images. (Reserved for Brandon James' image) NOVEMBER 2012 "You can't quit now, Brandon. You've got three years on your contract. Tell me what you want, Brandon...assistant booker role? North American title shot? Peter and I, we're here to help in any way..." I wasn't born yesterday. He'd told me all that s--- before the last few times I told him I wanted out, which had happened quite often since 2007. And besides, North American title shot? Come on! You just put the strap on Angry Gilmore and now you want me to be the first to put him over in a title defense? And it's a NORTH AMERICAN title shot. A MIDCARD belt. "Go to hell, Eisen. And hope you take your spoiled brat sons with you down there." I gave him the finger then I walked out of Supreme Towers in New York, never to return to the Supreme Wrestling Federation again. No, never again. Not even if the Eisen family lures me back with a $100,000 per month contract. Hell, it was never about the money when I decided to quit the SWF. I mean, negotiating for a good pay and some nice incentives, like creative control, would always come in handy when it comes to joining a large promotion. But when you've got the money, what comes next? I've always wrestled mainly for love of the sport, if you can call it a sport. When Richard Eisen hired me from DaVE some 5-6 years ago, I had "only" turned 30 then. I was still young enough, my knees were good, and I sure as hell didn't need any performance-enhancing drugs in my system to ward off injuries and get any bigger. Because at a shade over 300 pounds, I was the Big Cat, now renamed Big Money. They even rearranged my birth name, but I didn't care. I had creative control, I was going to be managed by a long-time friend and co-worker, I was going to be a franchise player, and my decision to join the SWF, I'd say, was comparable to something that happened a couple years later - LeBron James taking his talents to the South Beach. But most of all, I WAS PROMISED A MAIN EVENT PUSH IN TWO YEARS. Yet it never happened. Started out in the midcards and I lost a lot, man. Christian Faith, Jack Bruce, even Enygma, even Jumbo Jackson, they'd go over me. In 2008, I thought they were going to give me a chance to be the alpha heel. But no, they went with one of their own - the Alpha Dog, Remo, as the next Alpha Heel. Nothing against him, though - I respect him as a wrestler and as a human being. Still, you can't deny that Eisen and Peter Michaels wanted to keep the status quo going for as long as they could, even when the product was getting stale. I mean, how many times can you sit through a Faith vs Vengeance cage match or Bruce vs Remo or Rich Money without raiding the fridge for a beer and some chips or perhaps taking time out to text your girlfriend goodnight or, if you're living together, having a quick one while Eisen and Michaels are insulting the world's intelligence with the same old s---? That's why Michaels, whom I still respect for trying, tried to work things out by having Emma Chase, my manager, have her own stable. First, it was me and Jack Giedroyc, who had turned on Valiant, then Paul Huntingdon joined in. Again, I don't hate those guys, they were just doing what Pete asked them to do and hoping it could give 'em the push they deserve. Did we get the push we deserve over time? Hell no. At the time I submitted my resignation letter and saluted Eisen with my middle finger, I was still an upper midcard heel, same push I've had since 2008. Vengeance, Remo and Rich Money were still the main event bad guys. Oh, and did I miss out on Eric Eisen? Damn prick couldn't wrestle an A-match if his life depended on it, yet here he was, getting rewarded by his dad for his mediocrity by going over everybody even if he hardly looked convincing in the ring. I was thinking of all these things while riding on that cab from Supreme Towers to the JFK Airport. From JFK to HOU just like a certain Taiwanese-American point guard, pardon the second NBA reference. I was going to wait a few hours before my flight would take off, but I didn't give a damn. Another minute in Supreme Towers would have killed me. Speaking of things like that, you may think this is career suicide. You're 36 years old, which is still a good decade younger than Christian Faith or a good few of Sam Strong's USPW lugs. No serious injuries, good-paying contract with creative control, no girlfriend at the present but loving the single life and not having to bust out the Radiohead or Joy Division discography. So why the f--- walk away from that contract? Why go to a city you haven't been to, unless it was to wrestle, and form a new promotion from the ground up? What if it fails? Are you willing to sleep on your mom's couch without a single cent to your name if the promotion fails? And what about that lack of booking experience and the fact that you dropped out (more like flunked out) of college to become a pro wrestler? An ordinary man would say yeah, you're right. F--- it. I'm gonna swallow my pride and tell Eisen I'm sorry, let's forget this whole thing happened, I'm gonna lose another match to Christian or Jack or your game-changing son Eric and you can job me out to Captain Atomic and Jungle Lord the moment I turn 37. But not me. I'm Brandon James, and I've learned a thing or two about a thing or two in this business. No, make that James Brandon, Jimbo to friends and family, Big Cat to the people who have known me in my earliest days in the business up to the DaVE era. I'm going to use whatever money I have in the bank to make this federation work. It's going to be like DaVE times ten, no, make that times a hundred. It's going to be pure hardcore violence with a healthy dose of nearly-naked ladies managing the men. Heck, I might even have a women's division too, but for now, I gotta start small. I gotta be very selective with the guys I hire. They've got to LOVE to fight, LOVE to hurt each other and LOVE to hurt themselves. People are gonna get injured here, that's for sure, but as long as they don't come at me with their lawyers, everything's cool. Speaking of that, perhaps I have to look for a good lawyer in the Houston area to make sure nobody tries suing me when things go wrong, to make sure the contracts are written in the proper legalese. So here I am at JFK, just paid my fare, tipped the cabbie and it's time to wait for my flight. This is it, Big Cat. The first day of the rest of your life. 3RDSTRINGPG PRESENTS - JAMES BRANDON'S FAMILY-STYLE WRESTLING (JBFSW) COMING SOON???

The argument ends with Richard firing Christian Faith from SWF. This leads to the superstar looking to get revenge on the company he feels has turned his back on him after many faithful years of service. How better to get revenge than to join their enemies.
