Edge won the King of the Ring Tournament beating Kurt Angle in the Final Round. In the Main Event "Stone Cold" Steve Austin beat "Crippler" Chris Benoit and "Y2J" Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat match. However, at one point in the match Booker T interfered and sent Stone Cold through the announcers table. After the match Vince McMahon hit ringside with a microphone and a briefcase. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/macjap/WCWvsWWE/VinceMcMahon.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=Red] Vince: [COLOR=Black]It has been brought to my attention that many fans of the WWF and WCW are concerned over the future[/COLOR][/COLOR] of the WCW and WWF... and rightfully so. The World Championship Wrestling provided an alternative to the WWF for many years and were sucessful for only a few. Whenever I purchased WCW a few months back I had a lot of soul-searching to do. The fate of my enemies was in my hands! I had the ability to let them swim or sink to the bottom of the OCEAN! I feel like I have made the right choice. Effective immidiately all of these contracts are null and... *The Music of Linda McMahon hits as she stands the top of the entrance ramp* [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/macjap/WCWvsWWE/LindaMcMahon.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=Blue]Linda: [COLOR=Black]Vince! I am afraid that choice isn't yours. Though you may be the CEO of the WWE you only hold 25% of the stock. I hold another 25% and Shane and Stephanie own 25% of there own... well until about 10 minutes ago. You see Vince the family got together and decided it wouldn't be good business for you to kill off WCW. We could make more money than ever if we kept WCW around with its unique superstars and talen... *cut off by Vince* [/COLOR][/COLOR][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/macjap/WCWvsWWE/VinceMcMahon.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=Red] Vince: [COLOR=Black]Superstars and TALENT?! I own all the talent in the world! Anyone who I feel should be on my roster from WCW will be as soon as I terminate everyone else... I know WCW has some great stars like Buff Bagwell, Booker T and Scott Steiner but this is my show this is the WWF! I and my family made it! [/COLOR][/COLOR][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/macjap/WCWvsWWE/LindaMcMahon.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=Blue]Linda: [COLOR=Black]Exactly Vince! Me, you, Stephanie and Shane have made this company and we are doing this because we love you... We don't have the heart to do what we feel we should so Stephanie and Shane have sold there co-owned 25% stock of the WWE to a man who we feel can help business and control the new WCW better than anyone. Vince whether you like it or not the WWF/WCW will be split into two immidiately after this PPV. You will be sitting in a room with me, Shane and Stephanie with the new WCW Commissioner on the phone picking your talent wisely! Starting this monday the WWF will be two seperate brands. The WWF RAW and the WCW Smackdown. Each brand will have its own titles and superstars and you will only meet together on Pay Per Views! To the fans of WCW and WWF please go to the WWF.com at midnight tonight to see who is on what brand and what titles are going to be featured where. Vince... THATS THE DAMN DEAL!

I have taken who I think are the best talents from the WWF and the WCW and combined them into a fresh new brand WWF RAW!!! Anyone on WCW Smackdown was not sufficient enough to be here. Which brings me to my next point... it has been a whole day and I still do not know who the owner of the WCW is! I would like to know who my business opponent is so that I will know what exactly I am dealing with... I have made calls to Ted Turner, Eric Bischoff, Vince Russo, Robocop, The Shockmaster, David Arquette, Roddy Piper and even Karl Malone and all have denied ownership of the new WCW so I right now would like to demand the new WCW owner come out and face me! *Vince stands still for about a minute and is about to leave when familar music hits* *Voodoo Chile Instrumental hits as Hulk Hogan walks to the ring to an ENORMOUS POP* [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/macjap/WCWvsWWE/HollywoodHogan.jpg[/IMG] Hogan: Vince Vince Vince... I know what your thinking... Hulk Hogan brother in the flesh is the new owner of WCW... Sadly though Vince I am not... I am just here to make my presence known brother. It has been too long since Hogan has been on top in the World Wrestling Federation Brother! So tell your boys Hulk's got a message for them...

Jeff Hardy and Bradshaw both had travel troubles causing the WWF to cancel the Tag Team Scramble. This could make the WWF look bad if WCW can bounce back with a good tag team match Thursday night on Smackdown! Buff Bagwell and Booker T both got good receptions. The WWF Preview will be up after WCW Smackdown this week! [/SIZE][/SIZE]

Great concept, and i like where this could go. It's a shame though that the 3 really big wcw main eventers (DDP, Booker T and Steiner) have all gone to WWF RAW. I would have kept one of them on wCw smackdown. Or is it the plan to have smackdown the B show? Otherwise great diary so far.
