Joey: Hello and welcome to ECW...
Taz: ...F' The Mainstream.
Joey: I'm Joey Styles: the only man unlucky enough to share an announce table with Taz and Paul Heyman.
Heyman: laughs Oh that's cold.
Joey: 9,990 fans have packed the Cricket Arena.
Taz: Oh yeah, we're full to bursting baby and it looks like our first match is set to kick off.
Bob Artese: This evening's opening match is one fall. On my left, the Sidekick Saviour, Chris Hero. And on my right, tipping the scales at an amazing 485lbs, Goliath.

Kurt Angle is in the ring for a shoot promo
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpg
Angle: When I got to the arena tonight I discovered I was booked into a handicap match against the Hardy Boys. You may think I'm apprehensive about facing two guys at once but, in fact, I relish the opportunity to prove my wrestling superiority. You see, Matt and Jeff, this isn't World Wrestling Egomania, where musclebound brawlers with no skill for true wrestling succeed. This is ECW, I'm Kurt Angle and you... will tap out!
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JeffHardy.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MattHardy.jpg

Paul Heyman takes off his headset and enters the ring
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg
Heyman: Now I have a little surprise for all of you...
Unknown music plays and, to the audience's surprise, Brock Lesnar emerges from the entrance-way wearing an ECW shirt. He recieves a strong positive reaction.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrockLesnar.jpg
He shakes hands with Paul Heyman. He then takes a step back... and clotheslines him! He the rips his ECW shirt to shreds. Huge jeers are heard.
He picks up Heyman's mic...
Lesnar: Did you honestly think I would come to ECW and embrace it? I detest everything you stand for. Hardcore brawling over wrestling, unnecessary violence and rudeness... this promotion is a disgrace. A "Get the f**k out!" chant begins. Why? Because I'm better than you? Because you feel threatened?
The Dudley Boys come running out to a huge ovasion and attack Lesnar.
John Finnegan enters the ring as Heyman stumbles back to the announce table
Joey: Well, it looks like we have an unscheduled match.
Taz: Oh man, this is huge! You okay Paul?
Heyman: clearly in pain Just about. I'll feel a lot better when the Dudleys destroy Lesnar.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrockLesnar.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpg
Lesnar wins with an F-5 at 12:54.
Match Rating: A
Joey: Damn it!
Taz: Who does this guy think he is?
Heyman picks up a microphone but is wise enough to stay at the announce table this time.
Heyman: You know what Brock? If you're so convinced that ECW places no emphasis on technical excellence, at Wrestlepalooza you can face a man who thinks slightly differently to you. T^he other man to win a handicap match tonight... Kurt Angle!
Lesnar looks shocked
Taz: Yeah, Paul, yeah.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisBenoit.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpg
Chris Benoit wins with a Crossface at 13:04.
Match Rating: A
Raven enters the ring for a shoot promo
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Raven3.jpg
Raven: How many men does it take to challenge for the ECW World Title? Apparently, four because none of them are good enough to beat me single-handed. What about me? What about Raven? I could destroy RVD, Sabu, Dreamer or Sandman but the problem lies in the fact that I have to watch my back for fear of armed two-on-one assaults. Moreover, I have to remember who I'm supposed to be opposing on which show - it's more difficult than you might think when four men are screaming for your blood.
But it stops here!
RVD, you took me out from behind with a singapore cane last week. So why don't you come down here right now and prove you can do it face-to-face.
RVD's music hits and the crowd goes nuts.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpg
RVD walks out with chair in hand taunting Raven.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu.jpg
But as if from nowhere Sabu attacks RVD from behind, takes his chair and blasts him in the head with it.
A limp RVD falls to the floor. Sabu picks him up and throws him through the entrance-way caging and into electrical equipment.
Joey: Oh my God!
Taz: That is absolutely brutal!
Sabu turns to face Raven and the two men stare each other down from opposite sides of the arena before Sabu walks off, leaving RVD to be helped backstage by Hogan and Funk.
Bob Artese: Tonight's main event is one fall and for the ECW World Television Championship. To my left, from the United Kingdom, the Anarchist Doug Williams. And to my right, the ECW World Television Champion, the Lionheart Chris Jericho.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldTVTitle.jpg

Don Callis: Hello and welcome to ECW Revolution, I'm Don Callis.
JR: And I'm Jim Ross
Scott Hudson: We're live in front of 10,000 fans in the Pan-American Stadium and we have a great card lined up!
Don Callis: Shawn Michaels will be in action despite suffering broken ribs last Sunday at Barely Legal. He will square off against Psicosis.
Scott Hudson: And continuing on the theme of luchadores we have two high-flying battles set for tonight.
JR: First off, two japanese greats faceoff as Lyger takes on Ultimo Dragon
Don Callis: Then, the main event. Rey Mysterio vs. Juventud Guerrera. I can't wait guys.
Bob Artese: Tonight's opening contest is one fall. To my left, from D'loville, D'lo. And to my right, residing in Pennsylvania, Nate Hatred.

Match Rating: B+
Tommy Dreamer appears at the entrane way to give a shoot promo
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg
Dreamer: Last Sunday, Barely Legal marked a two year anniversary. It was exactly two years since I last had a title shot. Well guess what? Raven, I've beaten you before and I'll beat you again. Put quite simply...
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheSandman.jpg
The Sandman emerges from the entrance and attacks Tommy Dreamer with a singapore cane from behind
Sandman: I've heard RVD challenge Raven, I've seen Sabu challenge Raven and now Tommy Dreamer joins the list but the list ends here! If anyone's gonna challenge Raven it's gonna be me!
Don Callis: Wow, in the space of a week Raven has been issued with four seperate challenges: RVD, Sabu, Dreamer and Sandman.
Scott Hudson: Yeah, and you've got to believe that both Steph Mcintosh and Paul E. will be plugging one of the guys from their show to get the next title shot.
Don Callis: That's true. I don't know how this will be settled.
JR: Well if this was WWE...
Don Callis: ...Well it's not WWE Jim. This is ECW, where we give a fair go to all challengers regardless of whether they marry the boss' daughter or not.
Scott Hudson: Calm down guys, I'm sure Steph and Paul will think of something.
Don Callis: True. Anyway, it's now time for Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Jerry Lynn.
JR: Your old client I believe, Don.
Don Callis: Yeah, a few years back.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Tajiri.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg
Tajiri wins with a Buzzsaw Kick at 12:43
Match Rating: B+
Steve Austin enters the ring for a shoot promo.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/StunningSteve.jpg
Austin: It seems like an awful lot of people have their sights set on the same goal. That, of course, being the ECW World Title. Personally, I'm happy just kicking ass and getting paid for it! (Huge pop). Anyway, as you may have noticed I've been out with a neck injury thanks to a chair shot from Goldberg two months ago. But hey, we're on different shows I've got no vendetta. There's enough people to kick his ass on F' The Mainstream without my intervention (F**k you Goldberg chant begins - Austin laughs). Having said that, I make my official in-ring return next week (another huge pop) and a very good friend of mine has agreed to be my opponent... none other than Cactus Jack!
He leaves as the crowd go crazy at the prospect of Austin vs. Cactus Jack
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PsicosisMask.jpg

Lyger wins with a 450 splash at 13:40.
Match Rating: A* - they have great chemistry.
Raven enters the ring, for a shoot promo, to a hugely negative reaction
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Raven3.jpg
Raven: The Bible states "There is hope, faith and love but the greatest of these is love." In ECW, there is F' The Mainstream, there is Revolution and there is the ECW World Chamionship. The greatest of these is the Championship.
What about me? What about Raven? I am the ECW World Champion and I am the greatest force hardcore wrestling has ever seen.
As far as I'm concerned, it does not matter if it is RVD, Sabu, Dreamer or Sandman. They are all inferior to me.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheSandman.jpg
The Sandman crashes the ring with a singapore cane in hand but Raven is able to escape through the audience just before he gets nailed.
Sandman raises his hand to jeers from the sellout crowd.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg
However, Tommy Dreamer runs in and the jeers turn to cheers.
Sandman also escapes through the crowd before Dreamer can get his revenge.
Scott Hudson: Dreamer wants blood.
Jim Ross: I think they all do.
Don Callis: No doubt but, now, let's go to Bob Artese in the ring.
Bob Artese: Tonight's main event is one fall. To my left, hailing from Mexico, Rey Mysterio Jr. And to my right, also from Mexico, Juventud Guerrera.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterioWCW.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpg
Rey Mysterio wins with a Huracanrana from the top rope at 14:16.
Match Rating: A*
After the match Juventud shook Rey's hand as a sign of respect. the crowd applauded this act.
Show Rating: A*
Counterpart Raw Rating: B+
-
will the two shows be competing for ratings?
They shall be competing for ratings, yes, but in the form of a friendly rivalry.
Any crossbrand matches at PPVs (all PPVs cover both brands) have to be agreed by both authorities (except for those booked by me but you'll notice I very rarely pop up - I'm not Vince Mcmahon and therefore prefer to leave the crowd interaction to Paul E. and Steph on the whole).
Basically, they compete as far as it is healthy for the product. They try and hype their matches above the competition's but don't degrade each other.
-
woah,...Hogan had to find work then eh? after WWE was gone
He came to ECW as a heel Main Eventer back in 2000 when WCW went out of business... he refused to work for Vince.
After about a year or two of being the most hated man on the roster, he was too old to carry on wrestling so Roadie it is.

Joey: Welcome to ECW...
Taz: ...F' The Mainstream.
Heyman: We let him have that line.
Taz: Hey bossman, it's 'cos of me that you call the show that.
Heyman: (laughing) Well someone was always gonna come up with it.
Taz: (laughing) Yeah, whatever Paul.
Joey: I'll just call the show myself shall I?
Taz: (still laughing) Sorry Joe.
Heyman: Floor's all yours.
Joey gives a jokingly scornful look
Joey: We're sold out in front of 10,000 fans here in Albequerqe
Taz: The Tingley Colliseum to be precise
Heyman: Yeah, whatever Taz
Joey: Let's go to Bob Artese
Bob Artese: The following contest is one fall. To my left the Sidekick Saviour Chris Hero. And to my right, from El Paso, Texas the second generation mexican mauler. This is Eddie Guerrero Resounding boos are heard which Eddie merely taunts.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/EddieGuerrero.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg
Eddie wins with a Frog Splash after 11:43.
Match Rating: B+. A very solid opener.
The camera follows Eddie to the back where he collides with Christ Benoit
Eddie: What do you think you're looking at Holmes?
Benoit: I'm looking at you Eddie. A sellout piece of crap.
Eddie: Them fighting words Me Vito Loco. You should put you're money where you're mouth is.
Benoit: Sure thing Eddie, just don't look for sympathy in the fans you soldout when I make you tap out!
Benoit walks off leaving Eddie looking pissed.
Camera cuts back to ringside.
Joey: What do ya say Paul E. - is it official?
Heyman: Oh it's official. On June 28th at Wrestlepalooza you, Eddie Guerrero, will feel the wrath of these fans behind me and the Crippler Chris Benoit.
Taz: Hey, aren't you supposed to be objective in your commentary?
Heyman: Oh believe me I am. Eddie's days are numbered.

RVD appears by the entrance-way
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpg
RVD: Straight to the point, no BS. I'm issuing a challenge right here, right now to Raven. You may have beaten Shawn Michaels last night but you can't beat me. So say hello to your new ECW World Champion - Rob Van Dam.
Back in the ring...
Bob Artese: The following match is one fall and for the ECW Tag Team Titles. On my left, the Hardy Boys. "Vince sucks c**k" chants sound around the arena And on my right from Dudleyville the Dudley Boys. Loud cheers
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldTagTitle.jpg

Dudley Boys win with a 3D at 11:24
Match Rating: B+.
Raven enters the ring
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Raven3.jpg
Raven: Throughout history it has been the inaction of those who should have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most that has made it possible for evil to triumph. What about me? What about Raven? I am that evil!
Consider, if you will, that you feckless, fickle parasites revere Shawn Michaels as a god. Last night, I beat that god, I bled that god, I buried the career of that god six feet under. Who kills a god if not a god? I'm on the same, no a higher, existential level than the "Immortal" Shawn Michaels. Yet still you chant his name rather than mine.
So, now, RVD wants a title shot and Raven has to prove himself once more. Furthermore, I have to do it with an injured arm. Nevertheless, prove myself I shall whoever the challenger may be.
So it is written, so it shall come to pass.
Quote The Ra...
The lights go out
They come on again to reveal Sabu, who merely signals at his waist, indicating that he wants Raven's title.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Raven3.jpg
The two men stare each other down and Raven slaps Sabu.
A Brawl begins and then RVD comes running out.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpg
He goes to kick Raven but misses and decks Sabu. He then unloads rights and lefts on Raven, who manages to escape the ring.
Sabu then attacks RVD from behind, picks up a chair and beats him down, leaving him bloodied.
Joey: Well that was...
Heyman: ...interesting?
Joey: Pretty much
Taz: Man, that was violent
Joey: Very true but now it's Goliath vs. Christian
Heyman: What kind of name is Christian anyway?
Taz: What do you mean?
Heyman: Well my parents had nine months to decide on a name, the same as his, but they didn't call me "Jew".
Joey and Taz try and restrain their laughter
Joey: We apologise for that
Heyman: laughing What?
All three announcers are laughing as the camera cuts to the ring

Raven is walking down a corridor backstage and sees Sabu.
The two approach each other and look set to brawl.

Joey: This looks like it's getting serious.

Announce Team
Don Callis
Scott Hudson
Jim Ross (Signed after he shockingly left WWF. Is little more than a comedic heel figure)
(It is a joke on this brand that Don Callis has to contend with an ex-WWF guy and an ex-WCW guy. He often resorts to calling the matches single handed and ignoring the pro-WWF ramblings of Ross. Hudson at least makes an effort; Ross doesn't).

*Some of the workers in the list are surprising. They are included, in the main, simply for their name value as ECW tries to rise in size. Throughout the course of the diary, the roster will be moulded into a more constant and talent-oriented form*
-
So you started playing this on TEW 2004 and you used the data converter to convert it into TEW 05 files?
Actually, because I'm crap with all that kinda stuff, a painful amount of the TEW 2005 database was done from scratch based of the 2004 stats. Hence why I'm hoping that this diary goes well.

PDF of this diary (story related posts only) from start to November To Remember XV (2007): http://rg.to/file/e146d6dc22d44c7411c511f03cfaa98c/ECW_Worldwide.pdf.html
This is a fictional game world! This game began using TEW 2004 with 1994 data. As such, events in the game world are concurrent with all real world events up until July 1994. From this point on, however, all events that are referenced will be events that occurred within the world. Here are a few quick examples:
- Many talent defections took place in the 90's.
- WCW were bought out by WWF in 2000. Many workers joined the WWE roster, while others tried their luck in a slightly more hardcore environment.
- ECW are an internationally known company (currently just inside the International game parameters). Whilst appealling to a wider audience they remain true to many of their original ideals and the ECW roster still includes many of the original pioneers.
- Some major workers including Steve Austin, Chris Jericho and Rey Mysterio Jr (you may spot others) never left ECW in the 1990's and remain as a part of the promotion. However, since the diary has begun Austin has defected to the WWF.
- I am the owner of ECW after I took over from Heyman in '99 and I am an occasional on-screen authority (Heyman remains as an authority figure and booker under a lifetime contract).
- Kurt Angle joined ECW in '97 not WWE (the "Crucifiction Incident" never happened).
- "Sophie Mcintosh" joined the gameworld in TEW 2004. In TEW 2005 I changed her name and picture and she's an on-screen authority with the same stats.

The Franchise Players
http://alanwojcik.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/shane_douglas.jpg
"The Franchise" Shane Douglas
No list of ECW's franchise players could possibly be compiled without The Franchise himself, Shane Douglas. The sacrifices this man has made for and the effort he has given to this great company are well documented and cause for much respect. In fact, he arguably carried the promotion (with support from Sabu) from 1994-1997 and boasts the longest ever world title reign of over two years (a remarkable 736 days from January 15 1995 - January 21 1997)!
His feud with Sabu throughout 1995 helped propel ECW to new heights and culminated in a Barbed Wire Deathmatch at "F**k The Big Two" in November 1995, which he narrowly won thanks to assistance from Chris Benoit. His next rivalry with Raven was one of the greatest in the promotion's history, spanning over a year and showcasing many cutting-edge title matches. This led to what many believe was the best hardcore match of all time at ECW's first pay-per-view, Barely Legal, on January 21 1997. Raven, a babyface at the time, with assistance from Douglas' old nemesis Sabu, was finally able to end the legendary reign of The Franchise.
After this defeat, Douglas took a hiatus from wrestling due to "personal issues" that never were discussed with the media. In 2001, after a four year absence, he returned as a face to challenge Raven in a one-off title match at Hardcore Heaven - he was unsuccesful. He then headed to Japan, achieving moderate success with both WMF and AJPW, only to return in 2006 at Anarchy Rules to defeat Rhino for the World Television Championship.
Now seemingly retired from active competition (but not before revisiting his feud with Raven one last time), Douglas has become the manager and mentor of "The New Franchise" Paul Burchill. Under Douglas' guidance, Burchill seems destined for greatness.
http://www.firetank.com/smashwrestling/databasepics/sabu.jpgSabu
One of the craziest bastards in the history of the sport. There is seemingly nothing that the Human Highlight Reel will not do to entertain an ECW crowd. His time with the company has not exactly been the smoothest, though, his fallings out with both Paul Heyman and current ECW owner, Charlie Pag, are well documented. However, regardless of his relations and actions outside of the ring, he remains nothing short of a legend inside it.
His afore-mentioned feud with "The Franchise" Shane Douglas lasted from the end of 1993 right up until his nemesis' departure from the promotion in 1997 and is universally regarded as a classic.
Although his run in the promotion has since become less iconic, he is commonly described as the backbone of the roster. Indeed, whenever a transitional champion is required, it's Sabu; whenever an incumbent talent needs "the rub", it's the Human Highlight Reel who provides it yet always seems to come back stronger.
The question is how much longer this seemingly ageless wonder can really go on. It's no secret that his ring-work has become far more sloppy over the years but the fans evidently still adore him. Whatever his future holds it will be with ECW!
http://slam.canoe.ca/WrestlingImagesR/raven_ecw1.jpgRaven
Douglas' arch nemesis is the next logical icon to discuss. What Douglas achieved in the '90s as the figurehead of ECW, Raven continued to the new millenium and beyond. He holds the record for the most amount of World Title reigns at six (narrowly beating Douglas and Sabu who both hold five).
His heel turn at 1997's November To Remember, when he betrayed his tag partner Sabu (they faced Cactus Jack and Chris Jericho) is often seen as a pivotal moment in the promotion's history and has been compared to Hulk Hogan's heel turn in WCW. Since changing his alignment, Raven has never looked back, clearly playing the bad guy role with ease.
Since his days feuding with Douglas, he has formed a cult following and has clocked up rivalries with Sabu, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio Jr, The Sandman, Shawn Michaels and Owen Hart. However, all of these could be eclipsed in the wake of his bad blood with former protege, Paul Burchill. More recently, he was the main attraction in the New Age Enterprise stable that dominated the promotion for a few months and has since reformed Raven's Nest.
http://www.thewrestlingpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/chrisjericho.jpg"Lionheart" Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho had what was perhaps the most meteoric rise to fame in the history of the sport. His feud with Steve Austin surpassed all expectations and pushed both men into the upper reaches of the card. When he was victorious in their final match at Barely Legal '97, he earned his place in the main event.
After entering a tag feud with Cactus Jack against the babyface team of Raven and Sabu, Chris Jericho turned a week after Raven, leading to him challenging for the title at Anarch Rules '97. He was victorious and held the title for five months before being dethroned by Goliath in 1998.
Since then, he has held the TV Title a record four times, the tag titles once (with Rob Van Dam) and formed the elite stable of The Canadian Connection with Christian and Chris Benoit.
http://www.nndb.com/people/808/000108484/shawn-michaels-2-sized.jpg"The Showstopper" Shawn Michaels
In one of the most shocking events of the '90s era, Shawn Michaels defected to ECW amidst a sea of misunderstandings and betrayals. Vince Mcmahon was unwilling to give Shawn Michaels a title run in the WWF, claiming that Bret Hart was still the most marketable man on the roster. Meanwhile, Kevin Nash, Michaels' old friend, convinced the Heart Break Kid to jump to WCW when his contract ran out in a mere matter of weeks. Michaels indeed saw his contract out and entered negotiations with Eric Bischoff. However, in one of the biggest backstabs in wrestling history, it was revealed that Vince and Nash had engineered the whole thing, freeing up a heel main-event on the WWF roster and a fat paycheck for Big Daddy Cool, who rejoined the Federation. Despite Bischoff's pleas, Michaels' sour experience led to him taking a hiatus. But then, after only a month, Paul Heyman called him up, offering a the best paycheck ECW could muster, a main event push and a the opportunity to air his grievances to the world... he accepted.
Michaels' debut was at Anarchy Rulz '98, when he appeared as a surprise attraction and faced Goliath for the World Title. He was victorious and, as a result, went by the name "Giant Killer" for the next few years. However, he lost the title to Raven shortly after, sparking a feud between the two men in which Michaels never really gained the upper-hand.
More recently, he battled the New Age Enterprise alongside the bWo, Rob Van Dam and Taz, winning the title for a second time in the process. The mutual enemies of him and RVD led to their forming one of the most exciting tag teams in ECW: The Whole F**kin' Show. After one tag title reign that ended in a massive argument between the two and RVD abandoning Michaels in the ring, the team seems to have got its sh*t together. The two men are as good friends as ever and are, once again, World Tag Team Champions.
- Many talent defections took place in the 90's.
