Oh man, SO CLOSE to Natsupoi topping the standings!

I don't know if it's apparent but the real life events started around the time I was writing the shows I'm posting now so their promos are incredibly short and not detailed in the slightest due to how uncomfortable I was (and still am) with that shtick. As for Angle, I fear his contract with TNA is still a ways away. But fear not, that the challengers for Rusev will never get easier and that's the most I can give away

Finally catching one of your diaries from the very start! Very excited for this one

Why is Saraya out of all people taking shots at WWE? Did I miss something? Might be because I read my news on the wrong website but I could swear she was one of the better treated people in there for everything that happened with her and everything she did that could have painted their image negatively.

WWE King of the Ring 2014 June 29th, 2014 TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts OC: Jim Ross, Michael Cole and Booker T Meltzer Rating: A (second highest rated show of the save!) Good Ol' JR, Cole and Booker welcome us to the second straight annual King of the Ring event, where one of eight men will win the prestigious tournament, held this year and all years beyond in honor of the late WWE Hall of Famer Jerry ''The King'' Lawler! The fans are graced with the arrival of Seth Rollins, who has a few words about the earlier events involving his former Shield teammate in Roman Reigns. ''Roman, Roman, Roman...I knew you'd be given preferential treatment as soon as you showed your face around here again. None of us can touch you now, can we? But I know you better than anyone else in this company. I know your strengths, your weaknesses, what drives you, what can bring you out here in front of me, face-to-face, man-to-man on your own in due time. First, I must dissect your protection squad, and I must do that methodically. That's a word that doesn't exist in the dictionary of Dean Ambrose. But that's how Seth Rollins operates. And when you suffer your swift fall from grace at my hands, Roman...you'll be staring at me holding a world championship, at the top of the world...while you are unceremoniously discontinued as Triple H's vanity project. It's the least I can do for you.'' A new theme song for Dean Ambrose sounds off at the TD Garden, and Seth decides not to back down this time and put Ambrose where he belongs, but the lunatic jumps out from behind him, leveling him with fists and bites! Rollins slips out of Dirty Deeds and is just able to make an escape, Ambrose ripping his hair out for missing his chance at getting his hands on Roman Reigns. He says his brothers continue to be very slippery, but neither one of them would be able to run from Dean Ambrose forever! Thank you all for the predictions and for following the diary! I hope you enjoy this show as we head next to my personal favorite WWE PPV, Money in the Bank!

KING OF THE RING 2014 KICKOFF SHOW The analyst panel of Renee Young, JBL and WWE Hall of Famers 'Rowdy'' Roddy Piper and (former wielder of the crown) The Million Dollar Man welcomes the WWE fans to the TD Garden, where the final eight men remaining will vye for the yearly crown, championships will be decided and the undefeated Rusev will be challenged by one of the greatest big men in the history of the business in the Big Show! Renee asks the three who are their picks to win this year's King of the Ring tournament, and Hot Rod has no second thoughts before picking Cesaro. He thinks the kid is ready to hang with the big boys, and tonight will be his coming out party. Both JBL and DiBiase say Drew McIntyre, who will have had enormous backing and preparation heading into this final stretch of the tournament tonight. Renee then sends us off to the ring, for our first action of the night! We return to the panel as Renee sends us to a quick recap of Sunday Night Heat from a few hours prior, where The Wyatt Family defeated a conglomerate of superstars (jobbers) and Christian triumphed over Alberto Del Rio. DiBiase says it's unfortunate that Del Rio can't seem to get his head back in the game, but with the right business partner, he might be back to relevance soon enough. Renee introduces us to the panel's guest for the night, WWE Champion AJ Styles! Renee congratulates AJ on having quite a reign thus far, but mentions how it will be in jeopardy tonight when he squares off against two men with a bone to pick with the other in Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston. AJ says that undoubtedly this will be his toughest challenge yet, but that he doesn't think it has anything to do with the fact that he has no stake in the race between these two. It's more about the fact he doesn't know who will win out between them when they do meet one-on-one during the match, and so he had been forced to prepare for two quite different scenarios. He says that no matter what, he plans on still reigning for a long time, because this is his house now, and he was building real estate in it by the minute. The Phenomenal One embraced the challenge, but both Ziggler and Kingston were going to leave the TD Garden terribly disappointed. With that, Renee signs off from the Kickoff Show, the King of the Ring event is up next! OOC: Let me know if the grey color is too much to read in dark mode, if so I will come back to change it!

Loving the new format! Definitely more dark mode friendly. Curious how Vengeance will fit in DAVE as I always envision him in his E-V diary form and that character would feel VERY weird in an ECW-like environment if I were watching.

You know who would definitely put the balance of the wars on WCW's side for good? That kid Brian Pillman, he's got some talent But I fear I'll go Flexy Lexy American Males - why not? Eddie Guerrero

This is the best timeline for a Natsupoi stan there could ever be.

That's because Natsupoi...is impressive. 😎

''A Generational Stand-Off'' WWE Thursday Night SmackDown June 26th, 2014 Memorial Field in Concord, New Hampshire OC: Josh Mathews, John Bradshaw Layfield and Booker T Rating: A With the help of Hunico and Averno, Chavo is again able to hijack the Cruiserweight title as Shelley is left to check on Moore's condition, Chavo pointing at Shelley and shouting that this Sunday, he would go one on one with a Guerrero and find that the lights were too bright for him to be champion! From the Cosmic Wasteland, the Red Stardust is seen for the first time in a while, its Blue and Green counterparts standing by in the background. He says that the Cosmos are again unhappy with the direction where things are going. Only one man could put them back into balance...by retrieving THE COSMIC KEY! A deep and unknown voice is heard whispering the name of Cody Rhodes, and the three Stardusts start cackling and hissing in unison at the mention of the name. Before we cut from this bizarre intermission, the Red Stardust again notes that the Cosmic Key SHALL be retrieved. Backstage, Renee is set to interview Serena following her loss, but she is jumped by a rabid AJ Lee, who lets out her frustrations on Serena for a moment, before running away in desperation after overhearing the orderlies coming in hot after her! Josh, JBL and Booker all look incredulous at the announce table, how did AJ Lee escape the captivity of Dr. Cortex after just one week and what does this mean for the stakes between the two of them and Stephanie McMahon? As the set is rebuilt, Renee instead interviews Sin Cara, who applauds Rey Mysterio for walking out on Alberto Del Rio even as the Aristocrat offered him a new, independent deal. Cara says there are still shades of the wrestling great in there, and he again promises to bring back the real Rey Mysterio. At The Wyatt Family's compound, Bray talks about how this Sunday, eight men will conclude the King of the Ring tournament to determine who gets the abstract right to wear an illegitimate crown and call themselves king. Bray warns them that ''heavy is the head that wears the crown'', and that no matter how far the winner's belief would take him, that there was only one true ruler in this plan and that was the man who created all; God had NOT created all men as equal. Bray laughs, and says that all the while, his personal project had finally concluded, and he couldn't wait to show it to all his brothers and sisters. The time to do so was quickly nearing. RUN. Barrett, flanked by his advocate and The KoW, promotes the three men as worthy of their self-proclaimed titles as wrestling royalty; the parties recognized one another and all four were true heroes of the crown. They respected the wrestling skills of Daniel Bryan, but he did not possess the pedigree needed to be a worthy champion. Bryan comes out and notes that he's been running a marathon recently, and that he should have realized Barrett would have taken advantage of that at some point. He says that he's certainly got the odds stacked against him at the King of the Ring, but as a true fighting champion does, he'd come in and go out swinging. And even if that meant dropping limp in the middle of the ring, he was not allowing Barrett to walk out of the TD Garden with his World Heavyweight Championship without giving him the fight of his life. The winning team celebrates, but there's certainly trepidation in the air, even moreso between Punk and Cena, who threaten to go to blows with the other; cooler heads prevail in order to mantain full strength headed into Sunday, where one of these eight men will be crowned the 2014 King of the Ring! At the top of the hour, Austin Aries enters the ring in order to receive the surprise promised to him by Sheriff Rock. The Sheriff is the first to join him, going through the usual electrifying spiel before saying that The Rock is a man of his word; The Rock had a major surprise in hand not only for The Greatest Jabroni That Ever Lived, but to the entire world! But first, The Rock couldn't give out that surprise alone; first, another man wanted to set the record straight with Aries! Hulk Hogan comes out, having been seen this past Monday on Raw to support the Big Show, and he says The Hulkster couldn't have passed up on an opportunity to oversee how Rock would handle business against the weasel plaguing this show, dude! He says Rock's first order of business was telling Hogan about this major surprise, and oh brother, this one is for the ages! But first, Hogan wanted to contest Aries' claims that he had defeated him a year ago at Night of Champions, such a claim that Aries kept proudly running through in his speeches. Hogan says that in his heyday, Aries would have found a big boot straight to his kisser by this point, jack, but that the Immortal had admittedly run out of steam in order to properly take Austin to school. Still, there was one man who could still kick his ass and really wanted to do so, brother! IT'S STONE COLD! The Rattlesnake joins Rock and Hogan in the ring, and suddenly Aries finds himself circled by three generational talents and with nowhere to go! Rocky lays down Aries with Rock Bottom, followed by a Big Leg Drop and Stunner! Austin shares a few cold ones with Rock and Hogan, before retrieving a mic and saying it's time Stone Cold just made the damn announcement. He says that at WrestleMania, good ol' Stone Cold had felt something he hadn't in many, many years. Each second that he spent kicking Aries' scrawny rat ass made him feel a joy that hadn't coursed through his veins in a really long time. Sure, he had failed to win, but once again in defeat, people were telling good ol' Stone Cold how he had looked like a damn badass in doing so. He had considered calling it a career for good after being laid down by the SOB, BUT STONE COLD WASN'T CUT OF THAT CLOTH! Laying there in a puddle of his own blood, that just made him realize that Stone Cold had hung with one of them kids until breaking point. And so, much like Rock had done before him, it was time to beep up pager 3:16 for one final run, and Stone Cold had been fixing to prove he could be World champion one more time! This January at the Royal Rumble, Stone Cold Steve Austin would be entering himself into the match and going for win number 4, and he would meet whichever son of a bitch held the title after that at WrestleMania, and that's the bottom line, because Stone Cold said so! WWE Sunday Night Heat June 29th, 2014 (Part of the King of the Ring 2014 Kickoff Show) OC: Josh Mathews, Byron Saxton and ''The Professor'' Matt Striker

I used to do these with my friends back in EWR so it'd be really fun if it gained traction but I don't know how likely that would be.

I second these predictions!

''And Then There Were Eight'' WWE Monday Night Raw June 23rd, 2014 DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts OC: Michael Cole, Renee Young and Joey Styles Rating: A Triple H opens the show alongside Paul Heyman and clients Drew McIntyre and Wade Barrett. Conspicuous by his absence is the newest Paul Heyman Guy in Roman Reigns. Heyman explains that to start us off. ''Ladies and gentlemen...my name is Paul Heyman...and I am the most fortunate man alive. Not only am I the advocate to the Chosen One, the Sinister Scotsman and after this Sunday, your 2014 King of the Ring DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREW MCINTYRE, not only am I the advocate to the Bareknuckle Brawler, the Queen's Finest and after this Sunday, your heavyweight champion of the world WADE BARRETT, not only am I the advocate to the Beast Incarnate BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROCK LESNAR who will leave behind him an unparalleled trail of destruction once he returns to the WWE ring in order to dish out his revenge and impose himself back to world championship contention...'' ''But I am the handpicked, entrusted, blessed by the word of our, your Chief Operating Officer of the WWE, Triple H...newest advocate for the can't miss blue chipper, the powerhouse, the man who will one day rule this yard and all those living in it, the superior third of the destructive force once known as The Shield, a first class individual who, behind my advocacy will untap his true potential as the face of this company. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROMAN REIGNS!'' The crowd boos heavily, anticipating the arrival of Roman Reigns. ''Who is NOT here tonight. You see, this is a very busy week for the contemporaries of Mr. Reigns and we wouldn't want him to be left for the mob to claw at him due to understandable carelessness from the side of my fellow clients who have important matches to prepare for this Sunday, before he feels he's ready to take on that mob all by himself and show them who's the boss around here. Because Roman Reigns isn't here and has never been here to attend to the wishes of the masses, Roman Reigns isn't here to quell the thirst of his inferior Shield brethren to meet him in a fistfight, and most important of all, Roman Reigns isn't here to make any friends. Roman Reigns served his purpose in The Shield, but now it is time for Roman Reigns to show who he truly is and always has been. My client Roman Reigns will be here on Raw next week and not a second sooner. Because my client Roman Reigns does things in his own time, and anyone who has a problem with this will find that they just have to deal with it, the hard way.'' Heyman's speech done, McIntyre and Barrett are immediately met by Dean Ambrose, looking for blood. The two run with their tails between their legs as Ambrose swings a barbed wire bat at them, choosing not to sacrifice for Sunday and in McIntyre's case, both tonight and potentially Sunday. Ambrose says that if Roman can't show his coward ass around, then his merry band of clowns will have to do! He says it's just a matter of time before Roman can't be protected any longer, and that next week, it didn't matter how much security Hunter and Heyman forced onto him, he was gunning for retaliation! After another promo bashing the United States and promoting their motherland of Russia, Rusev and Lana are again confronted by the Big Show, who says he's brought backup this time around! The theme song of WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan plays, and the combined energy of Show and The Hulkster is enough to have Rusev depart the ring in frustration. Hulk says he's heard the two slander this great country every week since he was at WrestleMania, and this made him sick to his stomach, jack! He says that the old guard of American heroes that included the Hulkster was endorsing the Big Show at the King of the Ring to unload his pythons on Rusev, knock him out and send him back to where he belongs! Both Show and Hogan then ask Rusev, WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE LARGEST ATHLETE IN THE WORLD RUNS WILD ON YOU? ''The Professor'' Matt Striker is backstage with Seth Rollins next, who looks calm, cool and composed akin to his interview two weeks ago. Seth deems Dean Ambrose as pathetic and fighting a lost cause by going head on against the regime. He says it would take a well laid plan for him to get his hands on Roman Reigns and see to it that Triple H regrets the decision to take the adrift hound over him for the rest of his life. As Renee asks Seth about Ambrose's words towards him from the previous week, Rollins says that the expectations of Ambrose are simply unrealistic, as if they were ever to get in the ring with one another, Rollins would outclass him in every way and beat some sense back into him. The evolution of Seth Rollins was a process no one could simply stop. It had already begun, and it would only end once he was king...not king of the ring, but king of the world. The New Day cuts one final promo headed into the King of the Ring, promoting Kofi Kingston as their last representative last to make their names heard at the event, and that the years of wait would be worth it as he'd win the WWE Championship against two men who would pay dearly for not perceiving him as a threat. Kaitlyn and an elated Stephanie McMahon run down the easy time the champion would have against eternal runner-up Naomi on Sunday, and how it could all have been so much better for the challenger if she and those who came before her had both simply not overestimated their spot on the food chain. Kaitlyn says she will continue to annihilate the competition until there is no one left to oppose her, and Naomi would be key in helping her get to that point. Cesaro cuts a promo on the King of the Ring, and how he was prepared to go all the way through the three rounds this Sunday and set himself up as a major player in the WWE. As Jericho lets out his frustration on referee Scott Armstrong at ringside, the exhausted Punk is met by his Quarter-Finals opponent, John Cena! The staredown is one for the ages, as the field is set for the Quarter-Finals and this storied rivalry will have another chapter written this Sunday in Boston! NXT June 25th, 2014 Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida OC: Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton and Eric Bischoff Rating: B-

I love this diary so much more with every passing show! Of course Vince had to meddle into the Show-HHH feud. I wonder if there's anyone associated with Triple H who could aid him in that cage match...

Really excited for more DAVE diaries! Though yeah, the formatting is a rough time on dark mode which caught me off guard since the initial post is fine. I'm sure it's easy to fix and keep a medium! Good luck
