World Wrestling Entertainment: The Revolution Era

[Big D]

[B]First there was the Golden Age era, then there was the wrestling boom era, and along came the Attitude era, then came the era of the brands, and now comes the Revolution era. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v151/mrkuruption/wwelogo.jpg[/IMG] [U][I][/I]Backstory[/U][I][/I][/B] After the biggest Wrestlemania in history, Vince McMahon felt it was time for a major change in the world of wrestling. With TNA and ROH revolutionizing the sport, and the E doing the same ole thing, Vince McMahon felt like he had to do something about it. Vince McMahon did the unthinkable, and bought the best unprotected talent from not only both TNA and ROH, but also the best talent in the Indy scene. Top names include, future superstars like Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Davey Richards, Chris Hero just to name a few. This had a big impact on the indy scene and especially on TNA. Just a week after TNA's talented stars left for the E, Christian Cage announced that he will be touring with International Catch Wrestling Alliance. With Vince trying to get away from his big men "fetish", he took on the challenge of a new product. To showcase the true talent of the revolution era with the mix of mainstream entertainment, Vince McMahon scrap the branded PPVs in order to allow for more PPV buys. So will Vince's new product take the promotion back to the glory days? or will it fail? will TNA and ROH find a way to get back on their feet? or will they go down to bankruptcy?

[B][U]History to success[/U][/B] [B]May[/B] May was the month we would not only see the debut's of Samoa Joe, Roderick Strong, and Austin Aries, and Christopher Daniels, but one of the biggest RAW in a long time. Shawn Michaels and John Cena would face eachother for one final time for the World Wrestling Entertainment championship, the match would go back and forth but this time John Cena's luck would come to a end, as HBK would be crown the new champion. On Smackdown!, fans witnessed debuts from Jay Lethal, Chris Sabin, Low-KI, Sonjay Dutt, Davey Richards, and one of the brightest teams in the history of the WWE, The Revolution(AJ Styles and Matt Sydal). Not only did new debuts take a turn for SD!, but thanks to Ken Kennedy Finlay defeated Batista to become the number one contender for The Undertakers World Heavyweight championship. On ECW, Sean O'Haire made his shocking debut by destorying Bobby Lashley after losing his ECW title to recently turned heel CM Punk. The next episode saw the shocking return of Tajiri, as he accepted an open challenge that CM Punk issued, only to be beated down by Punk and the New Breed. [b]June Great American Bash[/b] There were alot of firsts at the Great American Bash, the first GAB to be held at the site of the first Ladder match on PPV, Madison Square Garden, and the first GAB were all three brands took part of. GAB was headlined by Undertaker vs Finlay in a Hell In A Cell, Shawn Michaels vs Johnny Nitro in a Ladder match, and a triple threat match with Randy Orton, Edge, and Cena. In this night fans would see two titles change hands, but only one was shocking. After the Undertaker was victoryious in his title defense against Finlay, Mr. Money In The Bank Ken Kennedy cashed in his contract, and it was pure money as Kennedy took advantage of the beaten up Taker to become the new World Heavyweight champion to close off the show. Two weeks later, there was an announcement by The Coach. The Coach announced that he traded Ric Flair for Chris Benoit, and then there was buzz in the air in Canada. Rumors were going around a day before RAW that Chris Jericho was set to return to the company, once RAW started off live at the Air Canada Centre a old face return to the company, but it wasnt Jericho it was Steve Austin!. Austin announced that he will be taking over as the NEW GM of RAW and had a huge announcement, that live on RAW Rated RKO would team up one last time to face the team of Benoit and...JERICHO, the wrestler who gets pin or submits leaves RAW for good. The main event was wild as Jericho and Benoit would dominate Rated RKO only to have Orton turn on his partner and leave him in the ring alone. Edge would tap out to close the show! It is now the last ECW/SD! taping of the month of June, what will happen to Edge? will he be heading to ECW? or will he head to Smackdown!? What's next for the three world champions of the WWE? will John Cena bounce back to championship glory? will any of the new talent make a major impact? only time will tell!

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v151/mrkuruption/internet.jpg[/IMG] Last night's ECW scored a rating of 17.42, the highest in 8 shows. That was due to the fact that Edge made his first appearance as a ECW wrestler and winning the ECW title. The Sandman has officially returned from his one week suspension. It is being said that if he continues to act up that the next punishment is termination. The Undertakers WWE contract is now up for renewal. He is now able to get in talks with other promotions but its very unlikely to happen. Taker is currently in talks to renew his contract. It was being debated wether to send Edge to SD! or ECW! before last night's ECW. The decision was made an hour before ECW to bring him in to ECW to enhance the brand with a superstar who has their way with the microphone. OOC: Anyone know a good site with wrestling photos?

Chris Benoit. Will Flair appear on Smackdown!? if so what does will he have in mind? Also the brightest tag team in WWE history will be in action as the Revolution take on London & Kendrick...will they get back on track to the tag title picture? or will their losing streak continue? also in action the fastest rising star and World Heavyweight champion Ken Kennedy will take on Kane! dont miss WWE Friday night Smackdown!

[QUOTE=Big D;233259]Any feedback? ideas? opinions? also updated rosters.[/QUOTE] Well I quite liked the idea of Foley bringing in Edge considering their past angle. It's a little had to get into straight away though due to the massive and generally unexplained influx of indy guys. I mean I know you've got Vince wanting to revolutionize his product, but there just seem a ton of guys that are already just 'there' and well up the card. I mean, how did AJ Styles get to the upper midcard on Smackdown? Is he there because the AI ideal roster put him there? Did he defeat anyone significant? How did he debut? Etc. Then you can kinda apply the same question to most of the additions. I'm not being a stickler for realism as to who the WWE would sign or which guys wouldn't leave their promotions to join the WWE, but if you're going to completely overhaul the fed in such a way, you really need to break some of the guys in a bit. I know you posted a little on when they debuted and a couple of switches, but it just feels a bit all over the place. Of course that's just my personal opinion/advice. The actual show you posted was pretty good, it just gives off the impression you've jumped into it a bit too quickly.

As the new GM of RAW, so what will Austin have in store this time around? find out LIVE on the USA Network!

I dig the storylines and the news updates, but you should really try and make the matches themselves a little more detailed. Things like 'the colour commentary gave this match a boost' and the chemistry aren't really relevant in a diary. Try and write a few sentences about the match rather than just using what TEW spits out, and people will get more into the cards.
