great show mate

[QUOTE=Joshua;512201]I loved the show. It is honestly the best show I have read of yours so far. I love the Revolution angle and those four guys fit together so well (Is Kennedy in Revolution? I haven't paid attention to anyone outside of Trips, Kenny and the Dogs). I really hope this angle leads to a 4 vs 4 or 5 vs 5 War Games, Hell In A Cell or Elim. Chamber match at Survivor Series. Burchill winning the belt was great. I hope him and Regal re-christen it the European Title. Cody deserves the IC Belt and hope the Carlito vs. Cody fued continues with maybe Cody getting some good back-up. MVP retaining makes me smile.[/QUOTE] Wow thanks man. To answer your question, yeah Kennedy is in Revolution. I try and group the five of them (Trips, Kennedy, Dykstra and Bulldogs) together with Shane when they have their group promos. We are leading to something like what you said at Survivor Series, but there are a few twists and turns to come at No Mercy and Cyber Sunday. ;) Sadly the US Title will still be called that (at least officially) but Burchill is one of the guys who has slowly gained a ton of overness on ECW. I put him on a monster tear for months. He debuted the Tuesday after Wrestlemania and he's only lost like 5 or so matches since then. He is in line for a good push on Smackdown. I'm afraid we won't be seeing too much more of Cody and Carlito. The reason is that Carlito is so over now he was complaining about being pushed as a upper midcard guy, so I had to push him to main eventer, and it's time I started using him as such. I have plans laid out for him to be invovled in feuds with some of the bigger names on Raw, so it was time for him to let the IC Belt go. And finally, MVP. What can I say... I think he's awesome. I hate the way he's being treated in real life. I mean, I can't believe a guy like Koslov is getting this push, when it should be MVP. It might be a case of pushing my favourtie in the game, but I'd like to think I've brought MVP across as a credible champion. Thanks so much for those comments. Awesome to see people actually getting into my storys like that. [QUOTE=pauls07;512242]great show mate[/QUOTE] Thanks man. :) Also, I am going away for the weekend, so this is my last post until Monday night. But again, any other comments would be sweet to see!

Hello everyone, welcome to Raw, I’m Jim Ross alongside Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler, and King, last night was a hell of a night, but it didn’t turn out quite how we hoped it would. [B]King:[/B] Well we hoped The Undertaker, Batista and Chris Jericho would all score victories last night against Revolution members. Only Batista got it done, and we’re not even sure if Chris Jericho is here tonight. [B]JR:[/B] Chris Jericho was badly injured in last night’s main event, Jeff Hardy was also injured last night. We’ll try and get updates for both men... but right now... here comes the Animal! Batista, who beat both Mr Kennedy and Shane McMahon last night, is making his way out here to the ring. [B]King:[/B] Well I bet Batista has a lot to say after what happened last night... [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Batista7.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Batista:[/B] I’m not out here to make a big speech, I’m not out here to claim I’m some kind of saviour... I’m out here to say Triple H... drag your ass out here right now! I am calling you out Hunter, I’m calling out the WWE Champion... because I want a title shot! I beat Shane’s ass, I beat Kennedy’s ass... hell I even took out the junior squad too. Now... I want the Game! And I want the championship!

Last night was not only a big night for you, it was a pretty big night for me. I mean... I don’t like Chris Jericho, but when he said that me beating him in a cage match would prove just what kind of champion I was... he was right. I once again proved, that I am ruthless, that I do whatever it takes, that I am... the cerebral assassin. And you want to call me out? You want to challenge me? Well Dave... unfortunately Shane McMahon isn’t here tonight... and that means I’m in charge. And... I don’t really feel like giving you a title shot. I honestly don’t think you deserve it Dave. However... I will give you a match tonight. I know Kennedy right here is dying for another shot at you. So I figured he’d get his rematch tonight... in a no disqualification match! [B]JR:[/B] And let me guess, the rest of Revolution will be all over that match. [B]King:[/B] Triple H really knows how to twist the knife doesn’t he/ [B]JR:[/B] No doubt about... wait... that’s... that’s Teddy Long! Teddy Long is out on the stage. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TheodoreLong.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Teddy:[/B] Hold on a second playa... Shane McMahon may not be here tonight... but that doesn’t mean you’re in charge. As the assistant general manager... I am in charge tonight! And that means I have the power to make any title match I see fit. So... Batista... you will get your title shot... but not tonight. At No Mercy... it’s going to be Triple H and Batista one on one for the WWE Championship! [B]King:[/B] Wow! [B]JR:[/B] What a huge title match that’s going to be! [B]Teddy:[/B] As for tonight... it will be Batista one on one with Kennedy. However... it will not be a no disqualification match. It will be a regular one on one match... but if I see any other members of Revolution get involved in the match... I will suspend their asses! Have a great night champ... and holla if you need me. [B]JR:[/B] Teddy Long is in charge tonight, and he has made the title match for No Mercy! [B]King:[/B] Yeah but what about when Shane McMahon returns? What’s going to happen to Batista and Teddy Long then? [B]JR:[/B] Well... I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. ------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/CodyRhodes21.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/RoryMcAllister.jpg[/IMG] [B]Cody Rhodes v Rory McAllister[/B] The new Intercontinental Champion makes his first appearance as champ, as Cody takes on Rory McAllister of the Highlanders. As always, Rory has his cousin Robbie at ringside, with the other McAllister trying to make his presence felt early on, looking to distract Cody as the bell rings. Cody sends Robbie to the floor with a right hand, and as Rory tries to jump him from behind, Cody dodges and Rory goes into the turnbuckle. Cody then looks to show his dominance, nailing Rory with right hands before sending him off the ropes... big back body drop! Cody looks to quicken the pace, hitting a dropkick followed by a side Russian leg sweep. Cody looks in complete control, until Rory reverses an Irish whip and Robbie grabs his foot, leading to Rory catching Cody in a backbreaker. Rory then scores some solid offense, hitting Cody with a headbutt then going for a cover after a vertical suplex. Rory then looks to go to the second rope and hit a legdrop... but Cody avoids the contact. The Intercontinental Champion wastes no time, hitting a bulldog out of the corner for a 2 count and then lining Rory up... DDT! Cody hits the DDT, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3. A dominant performance from Cody Rhodes, and he continues to rack up the victories on Raw.

John Cena! And John, last night at Unforgiven, we saw the rivalry between yourself and Randy Orton one again boil over as your were attacked by Orton backstage. John... what’s it going to take to end this thing between the two of you? [B]Cena:[/B] What’s it going to take? I think Randy Orton made that pretty clear. It’s going to take another match. So what do you say Orton? One more time, so I can beat your ass. One more time... at No Mercy. What do you say Orton? Enough of the sneak attacks, enough of costing each other matches. Let’s end this at No Mercy. I just made you a challenge Orton... you man enough to accept it? --------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TEW%20Titles/WWEWomens.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Melina5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Michelle_McCool20.jpg[/IMG] [B]Women’s Championship Match Melina (C) v Michelle McCool[/B] After defending the title last Monday night against Candice Michelle, Melina again defends the title tonight as she takes on Raw newcomer Michelle McCool. Michelle hasn’t had the best of starts to life on Monday nights, and it looked like continuing early on in this match, with the champion showing her dominance, grabbing the challengers hair and throwing her face first off the mat. Michelle tries to score some offence by going for a belly to belly suplex, only for the champion to counter and hit a split legged neckbreaker. Michelle manages to kick out at 2, but the champion is looking dominant so far. Melina then sends Michelle to the corner, but as she charges in, Michelle makes her miss. McCool sees an opening, and she sends Melina across and hits the handspring back elbow. Michelle then hits a bulldog out of the corner, and she goes for a cover... 1... 2... Melina kicks out! The champion is looking in trouble now, and Michelle looks to punch home her advantage by going for the double underhook facebuster... but the champion counters with a roll up, grabbing a handful of tights... 1... 2... 3. Melina retains her title, but Michelle will feel hard done by in her first title opportunity.

Tonight, it’s Domino’s turn to step into the ring, and once again Cherry is there with Deuce, while little Hornswoggle is ready to make a nuisance of himself. As soon as the ref calls for the bell, Deuce begins making his way towards Hornswoggle, looking for revenge after last week’s defeat. Finlay moves to stop anything happening, and Domino takes advantage, kneeing Finlay in the back and then driving the shoulder into the spine. Domino looks to work the back, hitting a backbreaker and several forearms to the small of the back. Domino then locks on a body scissors, as Finlay begins to fade. Hornswoggle bangs his hands and encourages the crowd to get behind Finlay, and he starts to fight his way back into the match, breaking the hold with elbows to the face, and then hitting a legdrop. Finlay then starts nailing uppercuts, before he gets a near fall after the Finlay roll. Domino scores a cheap shot with a thumb to the eye, and he goes for an Irish whip, but Finlay reverses... and Domino goes crashing into Deuce who was on the apron looking to interfere. Deuce goes into the barricade, and when Domino turns around, he turns right into... the Celtic cross! Finlay hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! [B]Finlay beat Domino (B-)[/B][/CENTER] [I]As usual, the arena turns a misty green, and the faint Celtic tune can be heard. As Finlay and Hornswoggle ready themselves, they stare at the tron to see...[/I] [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TEW%20Promo/IrishCurse6.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]King:[/B] He’s here?

[B]King:[/B] He really is a curse! [CENTER]The menacing, imposing mystery man makes his way down the ramp, walking with a slow, purposeful stride. He steps into the ring, and turns his hands towards the heavens. Finlay stands by, shillelagh in hand, as Hornswoggle hides behind him. The music stops and the arena lights return, as the mystery man shoots an evil stare at Finlay. Finlay attacks with a shillelagh shot... but it has no effect. This monster just stares back at Finlay, and then...[/CENTER] [B]JR:[/B] Oh... what the... oh! [B]King:[/B] My God... [B]JR:[/B] This damn Irish Curse, whoever the hell he is, has just laid out Finlay! [B]King:[/B] And now... now he’s staring down Hornswoggle. [B]JR:[/B] Now c’mon... enough’s enough. You’ve made your point, leave the little guy alone. [B]King:[/B] Well... thankfully here come some officials and trainers to check on Finlay but... who is this guy? ---------------------- [I]Todd Grisham is ready for an interview with the legend killer...[/I] [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ToddGrisham.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/RandyOrton-1.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Todd:[/B] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time... Randy Orton. And Randy, earlier tonight we heard John Cena conduct an interview where he challenged you to a match at No Mercy. Randy... what is your response to Cena’s challenge? [B]Orton:[/B] My response? Cena... I’ll see you at No Mercy. And when I do... I will finish what I started all those months ago. You remember last year’s No Mercy don’t you Cena? I was meant to face you for the WWE Championship that night. I was finally going to beat you for the title. But instead... I attacked. I put you on the shelf... and I was handed the title. This year though... I want you to be healthy going into No Mercy Cena. I want you to be ready to go... so when I beat you... there’ll be no excuses. I accept your challenge Cena... I just hope you realise what you’re getting yourself into. -------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/HardcoreHolly.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Mark_Henry.jpg[/IMG] [B]Hardcore Holly v Mark Henry[/B] Both these men haven’t exactly had the best run of results recently, so both men viewed tonight’s match as a chance to finally get some momentum going and maybe start moving up the card. Holly takes the fight to Henry right from the bell, hitting hard right hands and kicks across the thighs, but Henry just tosses Holly across the ring. Holly doesn’t stay down for long though, and he once again charges at Henry... only to be caught in a belly to belly suplex. With Holly down, Henry comes off the ropes looking for the big splash... but he misses! Holly again goes on the attack, hitting a dropkick as Henry gets back to one knee and then going to the second rope and connecting with a legdrop. Henry struggles to get back on his feet, but once he makes it back up, Holly jumps on his back and manages to apply a sleeper hold. Henry tries to fight it, but Holly has it locked on tight. Just as it looks like Holly might be getting somewhere, Henry has the presence of mind to collapse back into the corner, breaking the hold and crushing Holly behind him. Henry barely manages to keep his feet, while Holly slumps in the corner. Eventually Henry gets his head sorted, and he drags Holly to his feet and he again nails Holly with a belly to belly suplex before coming off the ropes... world’s strongest splash! Henry engulfs Holly, and he doesn’t even bother to hook his leg... 1... 2... 3. Mark Henry destroys Holly, and he could be about to establish himself as a dominant force on Raw.

Carlito was screwed out of the Intercontinental Championship! Last night... the referee distracted Carlito by kicking Apolo and Primo away from the ringside. Carlito had Cody Rhodes beat! Carlito was going to retain his Intercontinental Championship, until the referee got involved. Carlito wants a rematch for the Intercontinental Title. Cody Rhodes is not in Carlito’s... [B]JR:[/B] Wait a minute... it’s... [B]King:[/B] It’s Shawn Michaels!

I guess this is his return tonight. [B]Michaels:[/B] Wait a minute... wait a minute. Carlito... I’m sorry man. I know this is your show, but I got a little announcement to make... I’m back baby! That’s right, the showstopper, the icon... [B]Carlito:[/B] Whoa, whoa... what the hell are you doing? This is Carlito’s show. This is Carlito’s Cabana! You can’t just come out here and... [B]Michaels:[/B] Wait, wait... hold on. Let’s be honest now Carlito... all you were out here to do was bitch and moan, and say how you got screwed, and how you deserve another shot, and blah, blah, blah! And you know what they are Carlito... lies! Because I contacted my local pay per view supplier, and I ordered Unforgiven... and I saw your match with Cody Rhodes. And you got beat fair and square buddy. So you’ve got nothing to be out here complaining about. Me on the other hand... [B]Carlito:[/B] What? Did the doctors tell you to retire, but once again you’re going to defy the odds and make a run at the WWE Title? Face it Shawn, nobody cares anymore. Nobody cares that you’re back. People care about Carlito though. People... [B]JR:[/B] Oh! Sweet chin music! Sweet chin music! [B]King:[/B] Shawn just nailed Carlito on the set of his own show! [B]Michaels:[/B] Now... where was I? Oh yeah... I’m back! And I am here to stay! And I am out here to say that I am going to raise as much hell as I can! And if anybody... like my Caribbean friend here... wants to get in my way, then I will gladly run right through them! ----------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TEW%20Titles/WorldTagTeam.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/DHSmith.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TJ_Wilson6.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Lance_Cade2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TrevorMurdoch2.jpg[/IMG] [B]World Tag Team Championship Match Canadian Bulldogs (C) v Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch[/B] After the Bulldogs were in his corner last night, Kenny Dykstra returns the favour tonight, accompanying Smith and Wilson to the ring for their title defence against Cade and Murdoch. Wilson and Murdoch start the match, and it’s clear the Revolution members are still suffering from last night, as Murdoch quickly gains the advantage after he sends TJ off the ropes and catches him with a powerslam. Murdoch keeps TJ grounded with an armbar, before tagging Cade into the ring, and he continues to work the arm with a shoulderbreaker. Cade goes for an Irish whip, only for TJ to reverse it. This gives Dykstra a chance to interfere, as he grabs Cade by the ankle... and TJ follows it up with a knee to the back, sending Cade through the ropes. TJ then uses Murdoch to distract the ref, as Kenny and Harry double team Cade on the floor, driving him into the barricade and then sending him into the ringpost. Back in the ring, the champions make plenty of quick tags, and they start to focus on Cade’s left knee, with kicks and chop blocks working well for them. At one point TJ goes for a sharpshooter, but as he tries to lock it on, Cade reverses for a roll up... 1... 2... TJ kicks out, but Cade dives for the corner and tags in Murdoch. Trevor comes in a cleans house, taking down both Harry and TJ, before grabbing Harry and setting him up for the ace of spades... only for Kenny to again cause a distraction. As Murdoch chases him off the apron, Harry and TJ strike, with Harry hoisting Murdoch up and TJ coming off the ropes... hart attack! TJ goes for the cover, as Kenny stops Cade breaking it up... 1... 2... 3.

Tonight though, there is no Shane McMahon, and from the looks of things, we won’t be seeing Dykstra or the Bulldogs either. Batista attacks straight from the bell, charging at Kennedy and driving him to the corner. Batista then drives his shoulder into the midsection, before a hard Irish whip sends Kennedy crashing off the turnbuckle. The Animal continues to pummel Kennedy, as the hard hands and boots rain down. Eventually Kennedy manages to roll to the outside, but when Kennedy calls for a timeout to regroup, the Animal follows him out, taking Kennedy down with a clothesline. Batista then looks to Irish whip Kennedy into the steel steps, but Kennedy reverses, and it’s the Animal who tastes the steel. Back in the ring, Kennedy now goes on the attack, taking Batista down with a neckbreaker and then applying several boots of his own. Kennedy then looks to target the knee of Batista, hitting a dropkick to take him down before hitting elbowdrops and legdrops across the left knee. Kennedy then applies pressure, looking to wear the Animal down. After doing some considerable damage, Kennedy then locks on a figure four leglock, drawing boos from the fans for the use of a legend’s finisher. As Batista cries out in pain, Kennedy increases the pressure. The Animal tries desperately to reach the ropes, crawling his way over and reaching out, but coming up just short. Batista then looks to reverse the move, and eventually he manages to turn Kennedy over. Eventually the hold is broking, and as both men limp back to their feet, Kennedy swings with a right hand, but Batista ducks... spinebuster! Batista hits the spinebuster, and when he drags Kennedy back to his feet, he gives the thumbs up... thumbs down. Batista gets Kennedy up... Batista-bomb! Batista drives Kennedy to the mat, makes the cover... 1... 2... 3! [B]Batista beat Mr Kennedy (A)[/B][/CENTER] [I]As soon as the referee calls for the bell, the Game storms the ring. With The Undertaker taking out the Bulldogs and Dykstra earlier, the Game has to do his own dirty work...[/I] [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Triple_H33.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]JR: [/B]Oh!

Hello everyone, I’m Joey Styles alongside Tazz, and Unforgiven may not have gone to plan for Mick Foley, but you have to think our GM has something in mind tonight. [B]Tazz:[/B] Well I hope he does. Since Umaga won the title, we’ve seen Shelton Benjamin, Kurt Angle and John Morrison all try and take that title away from him. You gotta believe there’s somebody out there who can stop the Samoan bulldozer. [B]Styles:[/B] Hopefully we’ll find out who that person is... but we’re going to kick things off with 6 man tag team action. Dreamer, Mahoney and Richards team up to take on Thorn, Knox and Miz... [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TommyDreamer.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Balls_Mahoney.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Stevie_Richards3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/KevinThorn101.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Mike_Knox2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/themiz.jpg[/IMG] [B]Tommy Dreamer, Balls Mahoney and Stevie Richards v Kevin Thorn, Mike Knox and The Miz[/B] We kick things off tonight with a six man match as ECW Originals Dreamer, Mahoney and Richards take on Thorn, Knox and Miz. Stevie and Mike Knox get things started, and it doesn’t take long for Knox to overpower Richards and drive him to the mat with a bicycle kick. Knox tags in Miz, who causes further damage with by throwing Richards shoulder first into the ringpost. Thorn now enters, but Richards catches him with a single arm DDT, before diving for his corner and tagging in Mahoney. Balls comes into the ring and knocks down Thorn and Miz with right hands, but as he sends Miz off the ropes, Knox blindsides him with a big boot. Several quick tags follow, as Miz, Knox and Thorn pile on the punishment to Mahoney. Balls is repeatedly driven to the mat, before Miz then locks on a headlock, looking to tire the big guy out. Mahoney battles back to his feet, breaking the hold and sending Miz off the ropes before sending him through the air with a back body drop. Mahoney manages to drag himself to his corner to tag in Tommy Dreamer, and he takes Knox and Thorn down with right hands. Richards then charges in, with all six men going at it. A clothesline sees Thorn and Mahoney go over the top rope, and Richards nails Knox with the Stevie kick. Miz is the last man standing, and he turns right into a DDT from Dreamer. Tommy hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3!

He took on Angle and Morrison and he won. [B]Estrada:[/B] Just like I said he would my friend! [B]Foley:[/B] Yeah you did. But... that doesn’t mean it’s over Estrada. I just want you to know... that there will always be someone waiting in the wings to go after Umaga and the title. [B]Estrada:[/B] Oh really? [B]Foley:[/B] Yeah. And eventually... Umaga will lose that belt. [B]Estrada:[/B] As far as I can see amigo... you’ve got nobody left to face Umaga.

Straight from the bell, Cabana goes after Nunzio, but the Italian dives through the ropes to the floor, looking to slow down Cabana’s momentum. Nunzio waits until the referee’s count hits 9 to finally get back into the ring, but when he does, Cabana goes straight after him, grabbing the little Italian and tossing him around the ring. Cabana then hits several right hands, before sending Nunzio off the ropes... flying *******! Cabana takes Nunzio down, goes for the cover... 1... 2... Nunzio gets the shoulder up. Colt stays on the attack though, going to the top rope and looking for a missile dropkick... but Nunzio makes Cabana miss. The little Italian now tries to mount some offence, hitting boots and right hands before locking on a single leg Boston crab. Nunzio wrenches back on the knee, while Cabana strains to make it to the ropes. Eventually Colt manages to crawl his way there and Nunzio releases the hold. Nunzio tries to continue to work the knee, but when he tries to deliver a kick, Cabana catches his foot... stepover heel kick! Nunzio goes down, and Cabana signals to end it... he drags Nunzio up... Colt .45! Cabana drops Nunzio, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3. Another win for Colt Cabana here on Sci-Fi!

[B]Angle:[/B] Yeah there is something I want to say. I want to say that if it was just me, one on one with Umaga... I would’ve had him beat. John Morrison just got in my way on Sunday night. And you know... we never did have a winner in our match a couple of weeks ago did we Morrison? So right here... right now... I am challenging you Morrison. I want you in a match. I want to settle this thing between us.

Striker as always has Big Daddy V in his corner, and Kendrick looks like he will do whatever necessary to keep away from the monster at ringside. Striker looks to tie up with Kendrick early on, but Kendrick uses his speed and elusiveness to stay away from the contact and hit several moves of his own, sending Striker down with a dropkick and then getting a 2 count with a hurricanrana. Kendrick then looks to go for a springboard back elbow, but Striker ducks and Kendrick crashes to the mat. Striker now looks to punish Kendrick, taking him down with a swinging neckbreaker and then locking on an armbar. Kendrick battles back to his feet, but when he tries to break the hold, Striker tries to send Kendrick through the ropes to the waiting Big Daddy V. Kendrick manages to skin the cat and come back into the ring, where he catches Striker from behind with a bulldog. Striker staggers back to his feet, and Kendrick catches him in a headlock, runs him to the corner... sliced bread! Kendrick hits his finishing move, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! Brian Kendrick scores the win, and the Cruiserweight Champion manages to escape the ring before Big Daddy V can get a hold of him.

This match also sees Burke and Benjamin going at it, and with the hostile tension between the two reaching breaking point in recent weeks, it won’t be long before we see the two of them going at it in singles competition. Burke and Morrison kick things of, with both men looking to send messages to the men standing on the apron. Burke gains an early advantage with a belly to back suplex, and when he has Morrison grounded, he locks on a waistlock. Morrison counters with an armbar, and once both men make it back to their feet, he drops Burke with a spinning wheel kick. Benjamin practically begs Morrison to tag him in, and when he does, Shelton enters the ring and goes straight to work, taking Burke down with a clothesline and then dropping him with a tornado DDT. Benjamin and Morrison make quick tags to work on Burke, but when Morrison goes for a Russian leg sweep, Burke manages to counter with a jawbreaker. Umaga then gets the tag, and he locks on a nerve hold, before hanging Morrison up in the corner and hitting a diving headbutt. Umaga and Burke then show some teamwork as they hit several double team moves, before Umaga has Morrison set up on the bottom turnbuckle. Umaga backs away to the opposite corner, and he charges in... but Morrison avoids the contact and dives to his corner and tags in Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin goes straight to the top rope and waits for Umaga to stagger into position... crossbody! 1... 2... Burke makes the save. Morrison is back up, and he and Benjamin quickly get rid of Burke, leaving them two on one with the champion. Benjamin tries to go for paydirt... but Umaga blocks it. Morrison now attacks, looking for the moonlight drive... but Umaga counters that... Samoan drop! Umaga drives Morrison to the mat, and Benjamin is back up... but he runs into... Samoan spike! Umaga nails Shelton, goes for the cover... 1... 2... 3. [B]Umaga and Elijah Burke beat John Morrison and Shelton Benjamin (B)[/B][/CENTER] [B]Styles:[/B] Well once again Umaga shows his dominance. [B]Tazz:[/B] I’m really getting sick and tired of Umaga... oh! What the hell? [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Kane5.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Styles:[/B] It’s Kane!

Welcome to Friday Night Smackdown! Hello everyone, I’m Michael Cole, alongside Jonathan Coachman, and last Sunday night at Unforgiven, MVP saw off the challenge of Rey Mysterio to retain the World Heavyweight Championship, but already we know who will be the next man to take on MVP for the gold. [B]Coach:[/B] Well Bobby Lashley beat the Big Show at Unforgiven to become the new number one contender, but for me Lashley is way out of his depth trying to take on a guy like MVP. MVP has been a dominant champion so far, and I expect that to continue when Lashley and MVP meet. [B]Cole:[/B] Well we’ve heard Coach’s opinion on the matter... [I]NO CHANCE[/I] [B]Cole:[/B] But right now, we’re being joined by the interim general manager of Smackdown, the chairman of the board, Mr McMahon. [B]Coach:[/B] What do you think Cole? Is tonight the night Mr McMahon finally announces me as the new general manager? [B]Cole:[/B] If it is your first act will be to find a new announcer, as I won’t be here anymore. [B]Coach:[/B] Shouldn’t be hard to fill your shoes... [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/VinceMcMahon.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Vince:[/B] As you all know... for the last month or so, I have been the interim general manager of Smackdown. This was only meant to be a temporary measure, until a suitable replacement was found. And after weeks of searching... I believe I have found a suitable replacement. So... without further ado... the new general manager of Smackdown... [B]Coach:[/B] It’s me! [B]Cole:[/B] Will you shut up! [B]Coach:[/B] I’m honoured to do it... [B]Vince:[/B] John... Bradshaw... Layfield! [B]Cole:[/B] Oh c’mon! [B]Coach:[/B] What? [B]Cole:[/B] JBL... is our new boss? [B]Coach:[/B] I... I’m shocked. [B]Cole:[/B] This is unbelievable... [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/JohnLayfield.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]JBL:[/B] Thank you Mr McMahon. Once again, may I praise your vision in appointing me the new general manager of Smackdown. I would like to give you all a little history lesson right now. I am the longest reigning champion in the history of Smackdown. I took on everybody this brand had to offer... and I beat them. I elevated this brand to a level of greatness it had never seen before. And then... I sat at that announce desk and I watched Teddy Long drag this once great show down to nothing more than a second rate show. But now I am back in charge... I intend to return this show to greatness. MVP and Bobby Lashley will have their title match at No Mercy... and it better impress me, or heads will roll. For now... enjoy the show... for the new era of Smackdown is about to begin! [B]Cole:[/B] So this is what Mr McMahon and JBL were discussing last week. JBL is our new general manager. [B]Coach:[/B] Well after hearing what JBL had to say, I have to admit, I’m pretty excited to see how this all turns out. --------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Funaki.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Gregory_Helms8.jpg[/IMG] [B]Funaki v Gregory Helms[/B] Funaki makes a rare appearance as he takes on Gregory Helms. Both men are former Cruiserweight champions, and a win could see either man put themselves back in contention for Brian Kendrick’s Cruiserweight Title. The match starts at a fast pace, with both men running to ropes, until Funaki ducks a clothesline and gets a 2 count with a crossbody. Helms quickly gets back on his feet and starts stomping away, and he then punishes Funaki with a swinging neckbreaker. The match swings back and forth, as Funaki hits a enziguri only for Helms to eventually hit a dropkick. Helms now takes control, attacking with boots and right hands, before almost getting the win with a shinning wizard. Funaki looks like he may be done, but when Helms sends him to the corner, Funaki gets the boot up and then drops Helms with a bulldog. Funaki now grabs hold of Helms and goes for a tornado DDT... but Helms counters... nightmare on Helms street! Helms drives Funaki to the mat, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3. A brave effort from Funaki, but Helms had just too much for him, and Helms is looking good for another shot at Kendrick and the Cruiserweight Championship.

[B]JBL:[/B] That’s right MVP I did. I figured now I’m in charge, you and me needed to have a little chat. [B]MVP:[/B] Alright. What’s on your mind? [B]JBL:[/B] I don’t know if you heard me talking earlier tonight, but I am determined to make this brand great again. And since this brand was at it’s best when I was it’s champion... I need a champion in my image to lead my brand. [B]MVP:[/B] A champ in your image? And you want that to be me do you? [B]JBL:[/B] That’s right I do. [B]MVP:[/B] Well uh... I don’t know if when you hurt your neck your head suffered some damage too, but let me explain something. I am the highest paid member of your brand. I am you number one commodity... and I am your World Heavyweight Champion. I don’t model myself on anyone. [B]JBL:[/B] Oh really? [B]MVP:[/B] Yeah. [B]JBL:[/B] Well life could be a whole lot easier for you if you do things my way. [B]MVP:[/B] Oh don’t worry... I’ll play by your rules. But I’ll do it my way. ---------------------- [I]In the ring, the new United States Champion and the man who handed him the title are in the ring...[/I] [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/PaulBurchill.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/WilliamRegalAAF2.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Regal:[/B] Ladies and gentlemen... allow me to welcome to you all... your new United States Champion... Paul Burchill! Many of you may be wondering why I came to the aid of Mr Burchill in his United States Championship match against Matt Hardy at Unforgiven. Mr Burchill came to me, and asked me for my help. He asked me for my assistance in this matter. And I was more than happy to help my fellow countryman. Paul Burchill... is the future of Smackdown. And I will be in his corner every step of the way. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/PaulBurchill.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/SuperCrazy.jpg[/IMG] [B]Paul Burchill v Super Crazy[/B] With Regal at ringside, it looks like a tall order for Super Crazy to pull off an upset win here tonight. As always though, the crazy Mexican goes straight for his opponent, using speed to avoid Burchill’s power moves and then hitting offence of his own, as Crazy ducks a clothesline and then hits a headscissor takedown. Crazy then quickly runs the ropes... and hits a springboard moonsault. 1... 2... almost an upset! Regal is not impressed, and Burchill finally manages to get things going as he nails Crazy with a tilt a whirl backbreaker. Burchill then goes to work with the boots, before driving Crazy into the corner. Burchill looks to charge in with the boot, but Crazy ducks. Burchill untangles himself from the ropes, but Crazy climbs to the second rope and starts raining down with right hands, and the crowd join him in a count all the way to 10. Burchill staggers out of the corner, and Crazy jumps on his shoulders... victory roll... no! Burchill grabs hold of Crazy, and he has him in his new torture rack submission finisher. Burchill wrenches back on Crazy’s neck and legs, as the Mexican screams out in anguish. Burchill continues to apply the pressure, and eventually Crazy has to submit. The referee calls for the bell, and instead of simply dropping Crazy, Burchill drives him face first into the top turnbuckle, with Regal smiling on at the actions of his protégé. [B]Paul Burchill beat Super Crazy (C)[/B][/CENTER] [B]Cole:[/B] Well... an absolutely dominant performance from Paul Burchill. [B]Coach:[/B] The new United States Champion just decimated Super Crazy.

[B]Cole:[/B] He’s got every right. He was screwed out of the United States Championship!

Bobby... how are you feeling right now? [B]Lashley:[/B] I feel ready to be World Heavyweight Champion! I feel like the draft brought me back to Smackdown to finally fulfil my destiny and become the kind of champion I know I can be.

I’m going to destroy you! ---------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/PaulLondon.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Spanky.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/AndyDouglas.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Chase_Stevens2.jpg[/IMG] [B]Paul London and Brian Kendrick v Andy Douglas and Chase Stevens[/B] Kendrick continues his recently reunited partnership with Paul London tonight in a match against Douglas and Stevens. Kendrick grabbed a win over Matt Striker on Tuesday night, and when he starts the match with Stevens, Kendrick looks tired in the early goings. As such it was Stevens and Douglas who enjoyed much of the match early on, focusing in on Kendrick by keeping him away from his corner and using kick tags to wear him down. Douglas and Stevens also show some great double moves, such as a Douglas hitting a bulldog right onto Stevens’ knee. Kendrick is clearly struggling, but when Douglas goes for a DDT, Kendrick blocks it and then takes him down with a hurricanrana and then dives to the corner to tag in London. London comes in swinging right hands, taking both Douglas and Stevens down, before sending Douglas off the ropes... roundhouse kick! Douglas looks out cold, as Stevens hits London from behind. Stevens looks to send London off the ropes, but London reverses... and Stevens runs right into a dropkick from Kendrick. It’s two on one as Douglas still isn’t back up, and Kendrick grabs Stevens by the head and runs him to the corner... sliced bread! But wait, here comes London... standing shooting star press! London has the cover... 1... 2... 3! London and Kendrick grab another win, and if Kendrick can handle the pressures of appearing on both ECW and Smackdown, this team will surely be in line for a shot against Hawkins and Ryder.

Santino was not impressed however. Santino thought... that match did not = ratings. Only Santino = ratings! Roy Mastereo... how does this little man get a World Heavyweight Championship match? Santino is at least 1 feet taller than him. That means Santino is 12 times as good! If Roy Mastereo is... [B]Cole:[/B] Well finally someone has shut this guy up. Here comes Jimmy Wang Yang down to the ring. [B]Coach:[/B] I think Santino had a point. He is 12 times better than Rey Mysterio... [B]Cole:[/B] Spare me... [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Jimmy_Yang.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/SantinoMarella.jpg[/IMG] [B]Jimmy Wang Yang v Santino Marella[/B] After disappointment in the tag ranks, Jimmy returns to singles action, albeit with Shannon Moore in his corner. After being interrupted mid rant, Santino is in a foul mood, but when he tries to intimidate Jimmy, Smackdown’s resident redneck just laughs him off and hits a hard right hand that sends Santino scurrying to the corner to regroup. Eventually Santino returns to the fight and the match kicks off, and it’s the Italian who gains the early advantage, using a belly to back takedown to lock on a waistlock and keep the high flying Jimmy grounded. A series of chain wrestling takes place between the two, before Jimmy makes it back to his feet and nails Santino with an enziguri. Jimmy goes for the cover... 1... 2... Santino barely gets the shoulder up. Jimmy now looks to keep the pressure on, going to the top rope... missile dropkick! Jimmy connects, hooks the leg... 1... 2... again Santino barely kicks out. Jimmy now has victory in his sights, and he looks to send Santino to the corner... but Santino reverses... Jimmy to the top rope... moonsault... no! Santino managed to avoid the contact, and he quickly goes for a bridging pin... 1... 2... Santino has his feet on the ropes... 3. The ever opportunistic Santino steals a win from Jimmy Wang Yang.

After losing to MVP at Summerslam, Punk suffered defeats to Bobby Lashley and then Rey Mysterio and MVP in tag team action. Tonight, Punk is determined to get back on track against Chuck Palumbo. From the start of the match, Punk targets the legs of Palumbo, aiming stiff kicks to the thighs and then taking Palumbo down and dropping a legdrop across his knee. With Palumbo weakened, Punk tries to inject some speed into the match by coming off the ropes... but he runs right into a big boot. Palumbo now punishes Punk, delivering clubbing forearms to the back and then driving Punk into the turnbuckle. A hard Irish whip sends crashing off the opposite corner, and as Punk crumples to the mat, it doesn’t look good for him. Palumbo starts to drag Punk back to his feet, but Punk counters with a roll up... 1... 2... Palumbo kicks out. Both men are back up quickly, and Punk ducks a clothesline... enziguri! Palumbo slumps to the mat, but Punk drgas him back up and sends him to the corner, before charging in and nailing a knee to the face. Punk comes out of the corner... bulldog! Here’s the cover... 1... 2... no! Palumbo gets the shoulder up, but Punk has him lined up... GTS... no... Palumbo counters... he has Punk lined up... full throttle... no! Punk blocks it, ducks a right hand... and he has Palumbo on his shoulder... GTS! Punk connects, goes for the cover... 1... 2... 3! CM Punk gets the win that could see him get things back on track.

Big Show however refuses to acknowledge their presence, and he quickly focuses in on Edge, gaining the early advantage by tossing Edge from pillar to post before hitting a series of right hands in the corner. Big Show then sends Edge off the ropes... big boot! Edge’s return is not going as planned, and he slips to the outside to regroup with Hawkins and Ryder. Big Show steps over the top rope and comes after Edge on the outside, and as Hawkins and Ryder try to attack, Show nails Ryder with a boot before tossing Hawkins into the barricade. However, Edge takes advantage of this by hitting a chopblock, taking Show down at the knee. It takes all three men to roll Show back into the ring, where Edge goes to work, attacking the knee before distracting the referee, allowing Hawkins and Ryder the chance to score a few cheap shots behind the ref’s back. Edge now shows his vicious side, dragging Show towards the ringpost... and slamming his knee of it. The referee admonishes him, but Edge doesn’t care. Instead, he crouches in the corner, stalking his prey, waiting for Big Show to get back on his feet. Because of his damamged knee, it takes Show a long time to finally get back up, but when he eventually does, Edge charges in... and misses the spear! Edge goes crashing shoulder first into the turnbuckle, and now Big Show goes on the attack, holding Edge in the corner... and delivering a huge chop across his chest. Big Show then hits a headbutt, before scooping Edge up... and dropping him with a sidewalk slam. Edge is in trouble, and now it’s Big Show who waits for Edge to get back on his feet.

Right, I've finally managed to catch up so I can leave feedback. Firstly, the constructive criticism... Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angle at Summerslam. Obviously a great pairing, as we've seen, but I didn't like the way it was thrown together. When I started reading the promo I was salivating at the idea- Michaels refusing to go along with it, Angle trying to force him, maybe dragging London and Bentley in to it, all that sort of stuff, Michaels then wanting a rematch perhaps only to be denied medical permission... all for a blow off match a few months down the line to be signed. It looked fantastic, but in the end it was just sort of a throwaway match without any real feud to build it up when those two should have been a huge event. It shouldn't have been as easy as Angle basically saying "oh, come on..." and Michaels giving in. In my opinion. Hope you don't mind me being upfront and honest about how I see it. Apart from that one negative, I love this. I really do. You've got a problem that you're posting in a low feedback forum for real world WWE diaries (even though most the people here probably firstly got introduced to wrestling via WWF, but that's by the by) but don't let that dishearten you. This really is good stuff. I especially like this Revolution stable. The others will benefit from working with Trips and he'll work well as a champ with a posse to support and a GM to sway things. It does work well and I think Jericho is a perfect person to be the hero trying to fight back at them (with Batista and 'Taker, of course). But all in all this is great stuff, and your pushing of the younger talent is always a good read too, of course. Basically, I love this. I still don't have regular internet access but I'll try to keep up with it as much as possible. It is great so keep your spirits up when you don't get feedback (and you won't from time to time, it's more the nature of the beast than a reflection on you) and know that you have got a really cracking diary on your hands.

Hey man don't for a second think I can't take criticism. I realise what you're saying about Shawn and Angle being more than it was, but I never really saw it as something I could carry for a long feud. I've very carefully planed everything out for the rest of the year, and a long Shawn v Angle feud just didn't figure into it. I'm sorry that you didn't get the feud you were hoping for, but hopefully what I have in store for Michaels and Angle (and remember, think long term in this) while make up for it. As fo Revolution, it's a joy to write stuff for them. I have so many twists and turns lined up (one of which is to come in the Raw I'm just about to post) that it'll stay fresh. As for the hero who will eventually save the day, it will be hero by committee for a bit longer, but eventually we will see the true hero emerge. And thank you so much for the last part. I know how respected you are on these forums, and a comment like that is awesome to read. Right, onto the Raw I just talked about...

We are sold out in Minneapolis, MN, as we continue the countdown to No Mercy. Hello everyone, I’m good ol’ JR, alongside Jerry Lawler, and King, last week we found out it will be Batista and Triple H one on one at No Mercy for the WWE Championship. King: Right and we also found out Shawn Michaels is back and he’s out to cause as much mayhem as he can. And what about this Irish curse who came out and assaulted Finlay? I don’t have a clue who this guy is. JR: Hopefully we’ll get some answers tonight...

[B]King:[/B] When we went off the air last week, Triple H had left Batista a bloody mess. [B]JR:[/B] The Game certainly sent the Animal a message last week... and I notice Shane McMahon is back. Shane wasn’t here last week, and Teddy Long was in charge, making the championship match at No Mercy. [B]King:[/B] I uh... I’m not sure how much longer Teddy’s going to have a job. [B]JR:[/B] Well let’s hear what Shane has to say...

He made title matches involving both Triple H and the Bulldogs. Well Teddy... you may be the assistant general manager... but that means you are my assistant. That means you do as I say... and I never gave you permission to make any of those matches. As far as I’m aware... the WWE Championship match between Triple H and Batista will still go ahead... but it will go ahead under protest from me. As for Teddy... I have decided to suspend him for one month without pay. [B]JR:[/B] What? [B]King:[/B] Can he do that? [B]JR:[/B] I guess he can... [B]Shane:[/B] And Teddy, if anything like this happened again... I will fire you. Now... I got a little bit of business that I need to take care of. First of all... tonight’s main event, will be the Canadian Bulldogs and Kenny Dykstra... in a handicap match against Batista! If you can find a partner Dave, then fine... but I don’t think anybody is going to want to mess with Revolution. [B]King:[/B] A handicap match? [B]JR:[/B] Now how the hell is that fair? [B]King:[/B] It’s obviously not... but will Batista have enough time to find a partner? [B]Shane:[/B] Now... I also have another bit of business I need to take care of. Last week when I sat at home recovering from the injuries I suffered at Unforgiven at the hands of Batista... I noticed that there is one man who always seems to fail to get the job done for Revolution. There is one man who when either myself or Triple H call on him to get the job done... he doesn’t. And that man is you Kennedy. [B]King:[/B] What? [B]JR:[/B] What does he mean by that? [B]Shane:[/B] Let’s take a look at tron shall we? [QUOTE][B]Raw two weeks before Revolution[/B] King: JR look! JR: Batista and The Undertaker are coming down the ramp! King: And they’re here for Revolution! Triple H goes to meet Undertaker and Batista as they come down the ramp, but he runs into a boot from the Deadman. Dykstra runs up the ramp to help Triple H, and a four man brawl ensures. Dykstra is caught in a spinebuster on the ramp, as Kennedy watch on in the ring. While officials and road agents try to separate the fight happening outside the ring, back in the ring... JR: All hell has broken loose! We’ve got a brawl happening on the entrance way, we’ve still got a handicap match... King: JR... Jericho’s back up! JR: And Kennedy hasn’t seen him!

During the match, JR and King announce that the winner of this match will get a title shot against Melina next week on Raw. Maria has put down her microphone for this week, but being in the ring against three former Women’s Champions make her a big underdog. As such, Maria shows a lot of nerves earlier on, and it’s Mickie James who takes the fight to Phoenix and Victoria, sending Victoria through the ropes to the floor with a series of right hands and then taking down the glamazon with a Thesz press. Much of the early going is between Phoenix and James, with James missing with a missile dropkick and Phoenix hurting her with a vertical suplex. With Victoria back in the ring, she and Phoenix now turn their attentions to Maria, who has spent most of the match hiding in the corner. Victoria charges at Maria, but Maria ducks and Victoria crashes into the corner. A clothesline to Phoenix barely phases her, but when Beth swings for Maria, again she ducks... and Phoenix nails Victoria! A push sends Phoenix through the ropes, and Maria has Victoria lined up... for a bronco buster! Victoria stagers back to her feet, and Maria goes for a roll up... 1... 2... Mickie makes the save! Mickie now focuses on Victoria, grabbing her by the hair... long kiss goodnight! Victoria goes down, and Mickie goes for the cover... but Phoenix grabs her and they start brawling on the floor. Maria is back up, and she goes to the top rope... flying clothesline! Maria takes Victoria down, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! Maria grabs a huge upset win, and next week she will take on Melina for the Women’s Championship!

He was a ruthless brawler, he was the man who loved to fight. But now... now he’s the man who loves to dance around the ring with a leprechaun. This is the image of my homeland that fans are seeing week after week. Well I refuse to stand for this anymore. I came to the WWE... to repair the damage Finlay has done in recent months. I will show the world just how ruthless we Irish can be.

As the bell rings, Henry slowly manages to back Harris into a corner, and while Harris tries to fight his way out of it, Henry is just too strong, tossing Harris back in and then pummelling him with right hands to the midsection. Henry then sends Harris across with a hard Irish whip, before charging at him... but Harris avoids the splash in the corner. Harris drives his shoulder into the midsection several times, before trying to send Henry across... but the big man grabs the top rope, before firing Harris towards him and nailing a clothesline. Henry then sends Harris off the ropes, before catching him in what turned out to be a long bearhug. Harris tries to fight it, but Henry only tightens his grip, and it takes Harris biting Henry on the head to finally break free. Again Harris looks to attack, coming off the ropes for a crossbody... but Henry catches him... world’s strongest slam! Henry drives Harris to the mat, but he’s not finished there.Henry bounces off the ropes... huge splash! Harris cries out in pain, as Henry hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3.

Sheamus looked very impressive in his beatdown of Finlay last week, but Holly is a wrestler with a notorious reputation for being stiff with newcomers, but it doesn’t look like he has much hope in this match. As the match starts, Sheamus takes several right hands from Holly without even moving, and when the veteran tries to come off the ropes, his clothesline has little effect. Holly again comes off the ropes, but this time he runs right into a big boot. Sheamus then looks to punish Holly, throwing Holly shoulder first into the ringpost before using a blatant choke in the corner, forcing the referee to admonish him severely. Sheamus backs off, and while Holly tries singing with right hands, they have little effect, and soon Holly is again driven to the mat, this time after a running powerslam. Sheamus decides he’s seen enough, and he drags an almost lifeless Holly back to his feet, and sets him up for his finisher... a death valley driver which he calls... the Celtic slam! Sheamus again sends Holly down, and as he goes for the cover, he doesn’t even bother hooking the leg... 1... 2... 3. As the referee calls for the bell, Sheamus falls to his knees and turns his hands towards the heavens, while JR and King marvel at the unrelenting dominance of this man.

Rights and lefts and hard boots follow, before Cody is sent off the ropes and taken down with a dropkick. Deuce then stomps a mudhole in Cody in the corner, before an Irish whip sends him across. Deuce then has Cody lined up and charges in... but Cody ducks and he just shoulder first into the corner. Cody now starts to build some offense, hitting a bulldog out of the corner before climbing to the top rope... and connecting with a moonsault! Cody has the cover... 1... 2... Deuce gets the shoulder up. Cody looks to continue his attacks, coming off the ropes... but Domino grabs his foot, before again getting up on the apron. A right hand sends Domino down, but again Deuce takes advantage with a neckbreaker. Cody goes down, and Deuce gets back on his feet, lining Cody up for the crack ‘em in the mouth. Cody struggles to his knees, Deuce comes off the ropes... but misses with the kick. Cody quickly gets back on his feet, spins Deuce around... DDT! Cody plants Deuce, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! The Intercontinental Champion grabs the win and continues his recent impressive win streak.

As the match starts, Snitsky appears to be not intimidated by Taker, and the two start trading heavy right hands. Neither man looks like giving an inch, but eventually Taker starts to wear Snitsky down. Undertaker goes to sends Snitsky off the ropes, but Snitsky reverses... and catches Taker with a big boot to the face. The deranged one then looks to build some offense, using a short arm clothesline and a powerslam to cause damage. Snitsky then drives Undertaker to the corner and hits several right hands, but Taker blocks one and then turns things around, nailing Snitsky with rapid rights and lefts to the gut. Taker then grabs Snitsky by the arm, and he begins his walk across the top rope, before hitting... old school! Snitsky goes down, but as Taker comes off the ropes looking for a big legdrop, Snitsky rolls out of harm’s way. Now it’s Snitsky who attacks again, hitting a sidewalk slam for a 2 count. As Taker appears to be weakening, Snitsky allows him to stagger back to his feet, before scooping him up for the pumphandle slam... but Taker counters, using his weight to go down the back, and now he has Snitsky up... tombstone! A tombstone out of nowhere... 1... 2... 3! The Undertaker gets the win, while Snitsky rests in peace.

Batista and Harry Smith kick things off, with Harry looking to take the fight to the Animal early, only for Batista’s power game to come into it, as he grabs Harry by the throat and drives him to the corner. There, the Animal drives his shoulder into the midsection three or four times, before sending Harry off the ropes... spinebuster! Batista drives Harry to the mat, but as the Animal poses for the crowd, Harry scurries to his corner and tags in Kenny... who runs right into a back body drop. Batista now tags in Shawn Michaels, and he starts teeing off on Kenny, before sending him off the ropes... flying forearm smash! Michaels then kips up, which draws TJ and Harry into the ring... right hand to TJ, right hand to Harry... but Dykstra hits a knee to the spine from behind. With Michaels now caught in the Revolution corner, Kenny starts raining down with right hands, before tagging TJ. Wilson takes Michaels down with a suplex, before coming off the ropes with a springboard elbow drop. A series of quick tags see the youngsters come in and out, with each hitting a list of impressive moves, such as Kenny with a swinging neckbreaker and Harry with a running powerslam the looks like it could get a 3 count before Batista made the save. More quick tags follow, and with Harry in the ring, he drops Michaels with a powerslam before tagging in Kenny who climbs to the top rope. Kenny steadies himself, and goes for the legdrop... but misses! Michaels avoids the contact, and both men try to crawl towards their corners. Here comes TJ... but here comes Batista! The Animal comes charging in... spear! Spear to TJ, but here comes Harry... spinebuster! Now Kenny is back up... a clothesline sends him down. Revolution are reeling, and the Animal has Kenny in his grasp... he hoist him up... Batista-bomb... no! Harry drops Batista from behind with a dropkick to the knee, and as Harry and Kenny attack the knee, TJ gets to his feet... and locks on a sharpshooter! Batista cries out in agony, and it looks like he might tap... sweet chin music! Michaels nails TJ with the kick, and now he takes the fight to Kenny and Harry, but the numbers game is too much as Kenny and Harry eventually take him down. Harry then sends Kenny to the top rope, as again Harry has Michaels up... running powerslam... legdrop off the top! A great double team move, and with Batista still writhing in agony holding his knee, Harry makes the cover on Shawn... 1... 2... 3! Kenny and the Bulldogs somehow grab the win.

Tonight, as ECW on Sci-Fi comes to Green Bay, WI, what will be the outcome of last week’s actions by Kane? Hello everyone, I’m Joey Styles alongside Tazz, and we had a wild week last week partner. [B]Tazz:[/B] And it could get even wilder tonight. What’s going to happen between Umaga and Kane? Or how about Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke? And what about the challenge Kurt Angle made to John Morrison? So many question, we need the answers tonight! [B]Styles:[/B] No Mercy is less than two weeks away... and maybe this man can give us the answers we need. Here comes the ECW general manager Mick Foley! [B]Tazz:[/B] Well if anybody can clear all this up, I guess it’s going to be Mick... [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/MickFoley.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Foley:[/B] Well... first of all let me say how great it is to be here, tonight in Green Bay, WI! Now last week... Umaga and Armando Estrada stormed into my office, and declared that there was nobody left for Umaga to beat here on ECW. But... I don’t think Kane and Umaga have ever faced each other for the ECW Championship. So that’s why at No Mercy... it will be Umaga and Kane one on one for the ECW Title! [B]Tazz:[/B] Wow! What a match that could be! [B]Styles:[/B] If anybody can counter the physical aspect of Umaga, it’s going to be Kane. [B]Foley:[/B] However... that’s not the end of ECW’s participation at No Mercy. You see... I spent all day on the phone to Vince McMahon... and I managed to secure another ECW match on the card. At No Mercy... it will be Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke one on one! [B]Styles:[/B] What a huge announcement that is! [B]Tazz:[/B] Shelton and Elijah have been going at each other for weeks now. Finally we’ll get to see them settle it on pay per view. [B]Foley:[/B] Thanks for listening... and have a nice day! [B]Styles:[/B] Mick Foley has pulled a few strings, and it looks like we’ve got two ECW match at No Mercy. [B]Tazz:[/B] Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke followed by Umaga and Kane for the championship. I can’t wait! --------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/elijahburke3tr31.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Kane5.jpg[/IMG] [B]Elijah Burke v Kane[/B] After Kane ran through Elijah on his route to Umaga after last week’s main event, the two meet once again in the opening match of this week’s show. Burke is out for some revenge after being discarded so easily last week, while Kane seems on a destructive path right now that looks like leading him all the way to No Mercy. Burke comes out aggressive, but Kane rocks him with a hard uppercut, before sending Burke off the ropes and nailing him with a big boot. Burke manages to make it back to a seated position, but that only lets Kane deliver a stiff dropkick right to Burke’s face. Kane now starts to climb to the top rope, and he perches himself up there, waiting for Burke to get to his feet. Burke eventually staggers back up, and Kane launches himself... flying clothesline... but Burke counters with a dropkick! Kane crashes off the mat, and Elijah is quick to try take advantage, laying in with boots before sending Kane to the corner. Burke then lines Kane up and charges in... splash in the corner connects. Kane crumples to the ground, and Burke lines him up and charges in again... outer limits elbow drop! Burke finds the mark, hooks the leg... 1... 2... Kane has a foot on the rope. Burke is not happy, and he sets Kane up in the corner, before hitting a few stiff forearms to the spine before again lining Kane up. This time Burke charges in looking for the Elijah express... but he misses! Burke gets hung up in the corner, and Kane now scoops Burke up... sidewalk slam! Kane has the cover... 1... 2... Burke gets the shoulder up. Kane is quickly back on his feet, and he lines Burke up... chokeslam... no! Burke counters... Elijah experience... but Kane reverses that... and this time he has him up... chokeslam! Kane drives Burke to the mat, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! Kane picks up another win, and continues to build momentum towards No Mercy.

After weeks of upset and surprising victories, Cabana now has a sense of confidence about him, and he attacks straight away, as when the two lock up, Cabana quickly takes Knox down with an armdrag, before dropping a knee across the arm and then coming off the ropes with a legdrop. Know gets back up, but when he goes for the bicycle kick, Cabana shows his elusiveness and ducks, following that up with a roll up for a 2 count. Both men quickly get back up, where Knox shows his power by hitting a huge clothesline. Cabana crashes off the mat, and Knox continues to show off his power by scooping Colt up and dropping him with a backbreaker. Know fires away with boots and right hands, before sending Colt off the ropes and again going for the bicycle kick... but again Cabana ducks, and this time he launches himself onto Knox’s shoulders... victory roll! 1... 2... 3! Cabana hangs on for the win, and the Cabanarama roll carries on for another week.

I mean, every week you just burst in here like my doors not even there. [B]Estrada:[/B] Whatever Foley. Listen my friend... you think Kane is the answer? You think the big red machine will be the one to take the title away from Umaga? [B]Foley:[/B] Yeah Estrada... I do. [B]Estrada:[/B] Haha! You gotta be kiddin’ me Foley! Kane? There’s no way he can compete with the Samoan bulldozer. [B]Foley:[/B] Well... I guess we’ll find out at No Mercy won’t we Estrada? [B]Estrada:[/B] I guess we will amigo... [B]Foley:[/B] Oh wait. I almost forgot. Umaga... has a match tonight. [B]Estrada:[/B] A match tonight? [B]Foley:[/B] Not only that... it’s an ECW Title match! [B]Estrada:[/B] What? Against who? [B]Foley:[/B] Well... I was thinking, wouldn’t it be great to see champion versus champion for once? Wouldn’t that be a sight. So... I figured that tonight... Umaga would defend the ECW Championship... against the Cruiserweight Champion, Brian Kendrick. [B]Estrada:[/B] Brian Kendrick? [B]Foley:[/B] And since Umaga is way too big to be a Cruiserweight... I figured Kendrick’s title wouldn’t be on the line. You could say... Brian Kendrick... has nothing to lose tonight.

A handshake between the two occurs, before they start going at each other. After spending so much time with each other, the early stages inevitably involve a series of chain wrestling, with counter after counter and several moves being reversed. After Hass blocks Shelton’s German suplex attempt, he takes him down with a snap suplex before delivering stiff kick to the spine. Hass now works on the back with a series of suplexes, taking Benjamin down with a overhead belly to belly before getting a long 2 count with a bridging German. After sending Benjamin off the ropes with an Irish whip, Hass goes for a spinebuster, only for Benjamin to counter it into a tornado DDT. Benjamin goes for the cover... 1... 2... Hass gets the shoulder up, but Benjamin stays on the attack, ducking a Hass right hand and hitting a roundhouse kick for another 2 count. Hass is reeling now, and as he staggers to his feet, Benjamin charges in... paydirt... no! Hass counters, bridging northern lights suplex... 1... 2... Benjamin kicks out! These two know each other so well, they continue to counter each other’s moves. The battle rages on, as Hass hits right hands, before sending Benjamin off the ropes. Hass looks for a back body drop, but Benjamin sees it coming, and he kicks Hass in the chest... before jumping up... paydirt! This time Benjamin connects, and he hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! Shelton Benjamin earns a hard fought win over his former partner Charlie Hass, and he builds some momentum before his showdown with Elijah Burke at No Mercy.

Kendrick is obviously intimidated but the presence of Umaga, but as the bell rings, Kendrick takes the fight to Umaga, charging straight at him... only to run into a shoulder block. Kendrick crashes off the mat, and it doesn’t look good for him. Umaga now start to pummel Kendrick with right hands and chops, before sending Kendrick to the corner, lining him up and charging in... big splash... no! Kendrick managed to avoid it, and Umaga goes crashing into the corner. Kendrick now strikes with kicks across the thighs, before coming off the ropes... flying forearm, before it only dazes Umaga, and Kendrick comes off the ropes again... and runs into a heel kick! Again Kendrick crashes off the mat, and Umaga scoops him up and drags him to the corner, before hanging Kendrick up in a tree of woe position. Kendrick is left hanging, while Umaga backs away to the opposite corner. He lines Kendrick up, and rumbles towards him... flying headbutt... no! Again Kendrick uses his quickness to avoid the contact, and as Umaga goes head first into the bottom turnbuckle, Kendrick climbs to the top rope... missile dropkick! Kendrick goes for the cover, could we have a new champion? 1... 2... Umaga powers out! Almost an upset, and with Kendrick now in charge, he looks to keep the pressure on, coming off the ropes for a hurricanrana... but Umaga blocks it, and he hoists Kendrick up... powerbomb! Umaga drives Kendrick to the mat, and that’s gotta be it... 1... 2... Kendrick gets the shoulder up! Kendrick somehow survives, but he’s clearly hurt, and now Umaga drags him towards the corner. Umaga places Kendrick’s head on the bottom turnbuckle, and Umaga retreats to the opposite corner and lines him up... oh! The wrecking ball connects as Kendrick’s head snaps back, and that should be it... but Estrada wants more. He orders Umaga to go to the top rope. Once there, Umaga readies himself... Samoan splash... no! Again Kendrick makes Umaga miss, and he looks to make him pay for it. Kendrick grabs Umaga by the head, runs him to the corner... sliced bread... no! Umaga catches Kendrick on his shoulder... Samoan drop! Kendrick goes down, and Umaga quickly goes for the cover... 1... 2... 3. Umaga retains the title, but he was taken to the limit by the Cruiserweight Champion. [B]Umaga beat Brian Kendrick to retain the ECW Championship (B)[/B][/CENTER] [B]Styles:[/B] Well... one hell of an effort from Brian Kendrick. So many times I thought he had Umaga beat.

Hello everyone, I’m Michael Cole, with me as always is Jonathan Coachman, and last week saw the start of the JBL era of Friday nights. JBL is in charge, and I know you couldn’t be happier Coach. [B]Coach:[/B] Well I think it was a great decision from Mr McMahon to appoint JBL as general manager. He’s a former champion, a former commentator, he knows this brand inside and out, and he’ll do a damn better job than Teddy Long ever could. [B]Cole:[/B] Well it remains to be seen what kind of general manager JBL turns out to be... [I]YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME[/I] [B]Cole:[/B] But here comes a man who already has had his problems with the new general manager. Here comes Edge! [B]Coach:[/B] Well last week JBL put Edge in a match with the Big Show, and while Edge lost the match by DQ, he showed that the old, ruthless Edge is back. [B]Cole:[/B] Edge as always accompanied by his girlfriend Torrie Wilson... [B]Coach:[/B] Who looks great, I might add. [B]Cole:[/B] Hawkins and Ryder are conspicuous by their absence, they have a big match against London and Kendrick tonight. [B]Coach:[/B] Shut up Cole! Edge is ready to talk... [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/AdamCopeland.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Edge:[/B] Last week our new general manager forced me into a match with the Big Show. A match that I didn’t want, a match that I shouldn’t have been in. I was making my return after some time off, and I have to face the Big Show? I’m not happy with that. I do not deserve that kind of treatment. So right now... I am calling out JBL! I don’t care if you have a bad neck, I don’t care if you are the general manager... you don’t screw with me and get away with it. JBL... get out here right now! [B]Cole:[/B] What is this? I mean Edge is calling out JBL and... [B]Coach:[/B] Well obviously Edge is still upset after last week, but I hope he doesn’t do anything stupid. [B]Cole:[/B] Well here comes JBL now. I... I can’t see this ending well... [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/JohnLayfield.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]JBL:[/B] Edge... you don’t get it do you? I mean you really don’t get it. I want to position this brand as the A show again. For months I watched you have this feud with Rey Mysterio, and I felt nothing but disappointment. That wasn’t the Edge I know. Where was the psychotic Edge? Where was the Edge that didn’t give a damn about anything?! Where was he, huh? If I’m going to take this brand back to the top, I need the old Edge. I gave you a challenge last week... and you passed... to a certain extent. But I need to see more Edge. I need to see more... and I want to see it tonight. Tonight, I want to see you go one on one with Bobby Lashley... and I want to see that old Edge. You understand me? [B]Edge:[/B] The old Edge? The Edge that would end careers with a single chair shot? The Edge that would go to the limit every night? You want that Edge? You got him.

The two attitudes of each man could not be more different, with Shad and his street style offering a stark contrast to Palumbo’s hard man biker image. The match starts with neither man gaining the advantage, as they both hit power moves such as shoulder blocks and clothesline to take the other man down. Shad gains a small advantage with a slam, but as he bounces off the ropes, Palumbo is back up... and he takes Shad down with a belly to belly suplex. Palumbo then comes off the ropes and drops an elbow, before hooking the leg... 1... 2... Shad gets the shoulder up. Palumbo then looks to add to his offence, clubbing Shad with forearms to the face and then locking on a half Boston crab. Shad struggles to make it to the ropes, but he eventually gets there, but Palumbo takes every second of the referee’s 5 count before releasing the hold. Palumbo continues to work on Shad’s knee, before sending him off the ropes... big boot to the face! Shad goes down, and it looks like Palumbo is ready to finish him off. Palumbo drags Shad back up, and hooks him up for the full throttle... but he let’s go. As Shad drops to the mat, Cole and Coach start to question why. The answer is revealed, as we see JTG sitting on Palumbo’s motorbike... taking offers from the crowd on it! The fans at ringside, clamber to make their bids, with one fan offering a whole $50! Palumbo is furious, but as he shouts at JTG, Shad comes up from behind and rolls him up... 1... 2... 3! Shad pins Chuck, and Cryme Tyme have literally stolen a victory!

MVP! MVP, in just over one weeks time you face Bobby Lashley at No Mercy for your World Heavyweight Championship, but tonight you’re involved in a tag team match against the two men you previously defended your title against, CM Punk and Rey Mysterio. MVP, are you expecting another victory tonight and then again at No Mercy? [B]MVP:[/B] First of all, you didn’t tell all the people who my partner is tonight. Santino Marella? What is JBL trying to pull here? Anyway, it doesn’t matter. I’ll just do what I do in every tag team match I’m in. I will carry my team to victory. As for Bobby Lashley, at No Mercy, he’s going to be nothing but another name on my list of people I have knocked off during my title reign. I keep saying this because it’s true... No Mercy ain’t gonna turn out the way you want it to Lashley. --------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Gregory_Helms8.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Shannon_Moore21.jpg[/IMG] [B]Gregory Helms v Shannon Moore[/B] Last week Shannon Moore accompanied Jimmy Wang Yang to the ring in Jimmy’s losing effort against Santino Marella. Tonight, Jimmy returns the favour as Moore takes on Gregory Helms. Moore looks to attack early on with a lot of faced paced moves, going after Helms with a crossbody and a spinning heel kick. Helms, being a more grounded style of Cruiserweight, dives to the outside to try and regroup. He doesn’t get long though, as Moore grabs the ropes... summersault plancha! Moore hits it perfectly, and when he rolls Helms back into the ring, he goes for the cover... 1... 2... Helms kicks out. Moore looks to continue the offense, running the ropes and going for a springboard crossbody... only for Helms to counter with a dropkick. Moore crashes off the mat, and now Helms looks to slow things down, attacking Moore’s shoulder with a shoulderbreaker before locking on an armbar. A series of counters happens, as Moore flips over for a bridging pin, which sees Helms reverse that into a backslide, only for Moore to kick out and nail Helms with a dropkick. Moore then tries a kick, which Helms blocks... but he can’t block the enziguri that follows. Moore again hooks the leg... 1... 2... no! Helms again gets the shoulder up, but the end could be near. Moore climbs to the top rope, looking to end it with a moonsault... but Helms rolls out the way! Moore crashes off the mat, and it doesn’t take Helms long to hit... the nightmare on Helms street! Helms goes for the cover... 1... 2... 3. A solid victory for Gregory Helms, and once again he start to climb back up the Cruiserweight rankings.

I had to take on Umaga on Tuesday night. My ribs are killing me, my head hurts... maybe we should skip this one. [B]London:[/B] What? C’mon man, this is what we talked about.

[B]Kendrick:[/B] Alright... alright. [B]London:[/B] Yes! Alright man, let’s go, we’re up next... ----------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Curt_Hawkins2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Zach_Ryder2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/PaulLondon.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Spanky.jpg[/IMG] [B]Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder v Paul London and Brian Kendrick[/B] As we heard earlier, Kendrick is still hurting from his great effort in the ECW Championship match against Umaga on Tuesday night, so it’s Paul London who starts the match off against Zack Ryder. Although this is a non title match, both teams know what’s at stake, with the chance of a shot at titles firmly in the minds of London and Kendrick. The match starts at a quick pace, as London hits a series of armdrags and drop toe holds, much to the frustration of Ryder, who quickly tags in Hawkins. London though continues to have the upper hand though, taking Hawkins down with an enziguri then hitting a tornado DDT. London then brings Kendrick into the match, and he nails Hawkins with a missile dropkick. Kendrick is clearly favouring his ribs though, and a blind tag from Hawkins t Ryder allows Ryder to drive his knee into the midsection of Kendrick. Quick tags follow as the champions cause further damage to the ribs with a series of stiff boots, before sending Kendrick off the ropes and dropping him with a flapjack. Again the champions attack with the boots, before a hard Irish whip sends Kendrick crashing off the turnbuckle. Just as it looks like Kendrick is down and out, Hawkins starts to taunt him, allowing Kendrick to take him down with a hurricanrana and dive for the corner to tag in London. London comes in swinging rights and lefts, taking down both Hawkins and Ryder, before sending Ryder off the ropes... headscissor takedown! Hawkins is back up... but he takes an atomic drop, before a clothesline from Kendrick takes both men out. Ryder staggers back to his feet, and as he turns around, London nails him with an enziguri before... standing shooting star press! London hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! London and Kendrick win, and next week they get their shot at Hawkins and Ryder for the gold.

Bobby Lashley! And Bobby, tonight you take on Edge in a match were JBL has called for Edge to bring back the ruthlessness that he once showed. Are you worried at how the actions of Edge might affect you, especially since we’re so close to your big match with MVP at No Mercy? [B]Lashley:[/B] Edge and JBL can talk all they want about ruthlessness... cause when I get Edge in the ring... I’ll show him how ruthless I can be! And when I do... I hope MVP is watching... and I hope he takes notice... because it’s exactly what he’s going to get at No Mercy! ---------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Matt_Hardy22.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/WilliamRegalAAF2.jpg[/IMG] [B]Matt Hardy v William Regal[/B] After actions of last week where Matt Hardy game after Paul Burchill and William Regal for revenge after what happened at Unforgiven, tonight’s match sees Hardy gets his hands on the man who cost him the United States Championship. The champion Burchill is at ringside for this one, and as the match gets underway, Michael Cole tells us all that next week Matt Hardy will get his rematch with Paul Burchill, much to the annoyance of Coach. The heavy hitting from Regal starts early on, as hit hits stiff uppercuts and knees to the gut, before getting a 2 count after a hard knee to the face of Matt. Regal then looks to show off his submission skills, first locking Hardy into a surfboard for a long time, before locking on... the Regal stretch! Regal wrenches back with all he has, and Hardy is in a fight to reach the ropes. Matt slowly inches his way there, but the first time he gets his hands on the ropes, Burchill quickly knocks it back off before the referee can see it. Hardy eventually does make it, and the referee calls for the break. As Regal backs away, Burchill nails Hardy with a cheap shot, again without the referee seeing it. However, all this does is spark Hardy to life, and he takes it out on Regal, taking him down and then raining down with rights and lefts. Regal does his best to cover up, but Hardy stays on the attack, sending Regal to the corner... clothesline followed by... a bulldog! Hardy goes for the cover, 1... 2... Regal kicks out. Hardy has the momentum and he again attacks, hitting Regal with the side effect for a 2 count. Matt then goes to the second rope before coming off it... legdrop! Hardy has the crowd fully behind him , as he drags Regal to his feet, and sets him up for... [/CENTER] [B]Cole:[/B] Hardy, he has Regal set up... [B]Coach:[/B] C’mon Regal! [B]Cole:[/B] Twist of... dammit! Paul Burchill just nailed Matt form behind with the title. [B][CENTER]Matt Hardy beat William Regal by DQ (B)[/CENTER][/B] [B]Cole:[/B] And now Burchill attacking with the boots. This is out of line. [B]Coach:[/B] How is it out of line? Matt Hardy attacked Burchill last week, now Burchill is returning the favour. [B]Cole:[/B] Look at Regal nailing Hardy with the brass knucks... and now... what is Burchill doing? [B]Coach:[/B] He’s going to rack him! [B]Cole:[/B] Paul Burchill locking on that torture rack submission we’ve seen out of him lately. Burchill wrenching back on Matt Hardy. Finally we’ve got some officials out here to stop this. [B]Coach:[/B] Matt Hardy wants to come after Paul Burchill, he’s going to learn exactly what Burchill is all about. --------------------- [I]As we return from commercial, Santino Marella is already in the ring...[/I] [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/SantinoMarella.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Santino:[/B] Tonight, Santino teams up with MVP to take on Roy Mastereo and PM Chunk. Now tonight, Santino can see that this will be an easy match. For you see, Santino is much more of a man than either of his opponents tonight. Santino is easily over 6 feet tall, and Santino could drink all the beer in Wisconsin if he wanted to! Roy Mastereo and PM Chunk are nothing but a midget and a boring loser! They don’t = ratings. But Santino... Santino = ratings! ---------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/MVP.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/SantinoMarella.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/CMPunk.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ReyMysterio.jpg[/IMG] [B]Montel Vontavious Porter and Santino Marella v CM Punk and Rey Mysterio[/B] As the captain of this team, MVP graciously allows Santino to kick things off with CM Punk, and it doesn’t take long for Punk to gain the advantage, as Punk hammers Santino with kicks to the side of the head. Punk then tags in Mysterio, who after listening to Santino insult him for weeks is dying to get his hands on the Italian. Mysterio comes in with stiff kicks to the thigh, forcing Santino to scurry to his corner... but MVP doesn’t want to tag in. Santino is forced to continue to fight, and Rey takes him down with his wheelbarrow counter into a bulldog. Santino is in real trouble, but catches a break when Rey goes for a springboard crossbody, but Santino manages to duck. Now that his team has the advantage, MVP is more than happy to tag in, and he attacks Rey with hard shots before repeatedly driving his knee into Rey’s head. Mysterio is then sent shoulder first into the turnbuckle, before MVP charges in with a big boot to the face. As Rey crumples out of the corner, MVP feels confident enough to come off the ropes with the ballin’ elbow... but he takes too long and Rey avoids the move. Mysterio now dives to his corner and tags in CM Punk, who comes flying into the ring with a diving clothesline. MVP is then sent flying after a back body drop, and when he lands, he tags in Santino and then leaves the ring...[/CENTER] [B]Cole:[/B] What the... where is MVP going? [B]Coach:[/B] Uh... well... [B]Cole:[/B] MVP is walking out on this match! [B]Coach:[/B] No! He’s just... [B]Cole:[/B] MVP has just left Santino alone in the ring... and now I think Santino realises what’s in store for him now. [B]Coach:[/B] Well... uh... [B]Cole:[/B] Oh! Roundhouse kick from Punk, and Santino collapses onto the second rope, here comes Mysterio... [B]Coach:[/B] Not this... [B]Cole:[/B] 619! 619... Punk has Santino up... GTS! Punk hits the GTS, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! Mysterio and Punk win! [B]Coach:[/B] Yeah but they didn’t beat MVP. I’m sure MVP had a legitimate injury that forced him... [B]Cole:[/B] What?! [B]Coach:[/B] He was injured and had to leave the match. [B]Cole:[/B] Your defence of MVP never ceases to amaze me.

As such, Lashley is initially hesitant, as when the bell rings Edge makes no moves to attack, he simply stays crouched in the corner. Eventually Edge makes his move, but he runs right into a big clothesline from Lashley. Lashley then looks to his power game, scooping Edge up and driving him to the mat with a running powerslam. Lashley goes for an early cover... 1... 2... Edge kicks out, but Lashley is still in control, this time sending Edge off the ropes and hitting a spinning spinebuster. Lashley then grabs Edge and looks for an overhead belly to belly suplex, but Edge manages to grab hold of Lashley’s head and rives him down with a DDT. This is the opening Edge needs, as he now goes on the attack with vicious fists and boots. Edge then throws Lashley to the outside, before sending him shoulder first into the steel steps and driving him spine first into the apron. Back in the ring, Edge continues his assault of Lashley’s spine by driving his knee and then using a body scissors to apply pressure. Lashley manages to break the hold with a series of elbows, but as he tries to mount some offense, Edge delivers another stiff forearm to the spine. As Lashley cries out in pain, Edge strikes... Edgecution! Edge drives Lashley to the mat, and he hooks the leg... 1... 2... Lashley kicks out! Lashley barely hangs on... but the end could be near. Edge goes to the corner and again crouches down, as he waits for Lashley to get back on his feet... oh! Edge spears Lashley, but he takes out the referee too! Both men are down, and Edge can’t believe it. The shocked look on his face it’s interrupted by...

[QUOTE=iMac;518067]Hey man don't for a second think I can't take criticism. I realise what you're saying about Shawn and Angle being more than it was, but I never really saw it as something I could carry for a long feud. I've very carefully planed everything out for the rest of the year, and a long Shawn v Angle feud just didn't figure into it. I'm sorry that you didn't get the feud you were hoping for, but hopefully what I have in store for Michaels and Angle (and remember, think long term in this) while make up for it. As fo Revolution, it's a joy to write stuff for them. I have so many twists and turns lined up (one of which is to come in the Raw I'm just about to post) that it'll stay fresh. As for the hero who will eventually save the day, it will be hero by committee for a bit longer, but eventually we will see the true hero emerge. And thank you so much for the last part. I know how respected you are on these forums, and a comment like that is awesome to read. Right, onto the Raw I just talked about...[/QUOTE] Hey man no worries. I like this, so I'm nice about it! If I didn't think it was a good read I wouldn't compliment it, so there's no reason to thank me. Oh by the way, I forgot to mention two things- a) I think I know where you're going with Revolution and your "long term plans" and b) I love JBL as GM. I did it on my TEW 07 WWE game. He fits the role so perfectly in my opinion it's guaranteed to work out for you.

Hello everyone, I’m Jim Ross, alongside Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler, we are live and we are sold out tonight, for what promises to be another eventual episode of Raw. [B]King:[/B] Well tonight’s main event has been confirmed as Triple H and Randy Orton, two guys who don’t exactly like each other, teaming to take on Batista and John Cena. I can’t wait for that one. [B]JR:[/B] We also have been told Chris Jericho is back after the injuries he suffered at Unforgiven, he gets his hands on Kenny Dykstra tonight... but it looks like we’re going to kick things off with the man who will face Randy Orton this Sunday, John Cena! [B]King:[/B] JR, this Sunday, it’s Cena and Orton in a parking lot brawl. What a war that’s going to be. [B]JR:[/B] It certainly looks like one hell of a fight. Let’s hear what Cena has to say...

Let me tell you this right now... this ain’t going to be a classic wrestling match. This is going to be nothing but a war! This is going to be a fight, a fight to the death you might say. And it’s a fight... that I ain’t gonna lose! I will take Orton to the limit, I will go the extra mile... and I will leave No Mercy victorious. And if... [I]I HEAR VOICES IN MY HEAD...[/I] [B]King:[/B] Well you knew it wouldn’t be long until we heard from him. [B]JR:[/B] Randy Orton is stepping out onto the stage.

Déjà vu, anybody? We were here this time last year as well John. You were the WWE Champion... and I was the challenger. We were all set to go into battle... until I attacked you, giving you a RKO on the announce desk... and putting you on the shelf for 10 months. IN that time, I embarked on one of the greatest title reigns this company has ever seen. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Jeff Hardy, even... Ric Flair. They all fell at the hands of the legend killer. And now here we are, one year later, and once again, you Cena... you are proving to be a huge pain in my ass! And this Sunday... I’m going to do what I was denied the chance to do last year. I’m going to beat you at No Mercy... and then... [B]Cena:[/B] What? Then you’ll go on and challenge for the title? When are you going to realise that me getting hurt was the greatest thing that ever happened to you. You didn’t have a hope in hell of beating me last year, and you damn sure don’t have a chance this year! I beat you at Summerslam, but it’s going to be at No Mercy that I finally get my revenge for what you did to me. This Sunday... I will beat you Orton... and when I do... you’re going to be the one who winds up on the shelf! ---------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Finlay5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/RobbieMcAllister.jpg[/IMG] [B]Finlay v Robbie McAllister[/B] Finlay and Hornswoggle kick things off this week, as the veteran Irishman takes on Robbie McAllister. Robbie is accompanied by Rory, who early on is more concerned with the actions of Hornswoggle than the match. It’s the attention that Rory is paying Hornswoggle that winds up giving Robbie the better of the early goings, as Finlay is distracted and Robbie takes advantage. Headbutts, right hands and boots to the midsection follow, before Finlay is sent off the ropes and taken down with a knee to the gut. Robbie then slams Finlay to the mat, before coming off the ropes and dropping a knee across Finlay’s head. Robbie then tosses Finlay through the ropes to the floor, and as he distracts the referee, Rory looks to score a few cheap shots. However, as Rory ahs Finlay lined up, Hornswoggle comes leaping off the apron and lands on Rory, covering his eyes with his hands. As Rory and Hornswoggle continue to struggle on the outside, Finlay rolls back into the ring and grabs his shillelagh. With the referee distracted, Finlay turns Robbie around... and nails him with the shillelagh! Robbie goes down, and Finlay quickly removes the evidence before going for the cover... 1... 2... 3.

I’m here in the WWE to repair the damage you’ve caused. And I’m making you my first victim.

Call it a little warm up match. [B]Michaels:[/B] You won’t get away with this for much longer Shane. One of these days somebody is going to take out Revolution, one member at a time. [B]Shane:[/B] I don’t think so.

It would be an even bigger upset if she managed to pull out a win tonight and become the new Women’s Champion. Melina is clearly the favourite, and she acts as such, taunting Maria early on and showing her very little respect. When the two finally lock up, Melina just tosses Maria around, and it looks like this could be a walkover for the champion. She grabs Maria by the hair and slams her face first off the mat, before delivering a series of boots and then scooping Maria and placing her in a backbreaker submission. Maria cries out in pain, but she refuses to submit, causing Melina to drop her to the mat in frustration. Maria barely makes it back to her feet before Melina drops her again with a split legged neckbreaker. It doesn’t look good for Maria, and it could get worse as Melina sends her to the corner... but the challenger manages to get a boot up. As Melina charges in again, Maria uses the ropes to lock on a headscissors before taking the champion down. Maria now looks to build some offence, hitting a forearm before coming off the ropes... handstand heel kick! Maria has some momentum now, and she goes for the cover... 1... 2... Melina kicks out. Maria has the title in her sights now, and she again comes off the ropes... crossbody! 1... 2... again Melina kicks out. Maria attacks from behind... bulldog... no! Melina hangs onto the top rope, and now she has Maria on her feet... split legged bulldog! Melina drives Maria to the mat, and that should do it... 1... 2... 3. A brave effort from Maria, but the champion just had too much for her tonight.

Eventually it’s Primo who goes first, but he runs right into a right hand from Michaels. Apolo suffers the same fate when he has a go, as so far HBK is able to fight both men off. Apolo is sent over the top rope crashing to the floor, as Michaels then starts to focus in on Primo. Michaels rocks Primo with a series of rights and lefts, before sending the youngster off the ropes... back body drop! Apolo is back up on the apron, but another right hands sends back him down. Primo is back up and swings with a right hand... Michaels ducks... atomic drop! HBK off the ropes... flying forearm! Michaels then kips up, before climbing to the top rope... elbow drop! Michaels connects, 1... 2... Apolo makes the save. Apolo rains down with clubbing blows across the back, and he sends Michaels to the corner... no reversal... Apolo crashes off the turnbuckle... sweet chin music! Michaels nails Apolo with the kick, but here comes Primo again... thesz press from Michaels! Now it’s HBK that rains down with right hands, and he goes to the corner. Michaels starts tuning up the band... but Carlito’s on the apron... right hand to Carlito!

Henry has been tearing it up lately though, and he just shoves Cody across the ring. Cody is quickly back to his feet, swinging rights and lefts, but again Henry gives him a push that sends him flying. Cody uses the corner to prop himself back up, and when Henry charges in, Cody ducks him and then starts aiming kicks to the midsection. However, the kicks have little effect, as Henry rocks Cody with a headbutt, before scooping Cody up and slamming him to the mat. Henry now lines Cody up, comes off the ropes... big splash... no! Cody rolls out of the way, and as Henry gets back to his knees... Cody locks on a sleeper! Cody is all over Henry’s back, and the big man tries his best to shake Cody off of him. Cody holds on with all he’s got, but Henry grabs him by the head and slams him to the mat. Henry is staggering though, so Cody looks to continue his attack by coming off the ropes... and running right into a bearhug. Henry squeezes Cody’s ribs, and the champion cries out in anguish. Eventually Cody manages to fight his way out of the hold, using elbows and right hands to break Henry’s grip. Cody again tries to attack, going for a Russian legsweep... but Henry grabs the top ropes and Cody goes down, but not for long, as he quickly gets back up and charges in... only for Henry to lift him up in the air... gorilla press slam... no! Cody counters... DDT! Cody nails the DDT, and he goes for the cover... 1... 2... 3! Cody Rhodes pins Mark Henry and successfully retains the Intercontinental Championship!

Now that your shot finally happens this Sunday, how are you feeling right now? [B]Batista:[/B] I feel like I’m going to be the one who puts an end to this Revolution once and for all. At Unforgiven, I gave Shane McMahon a beating he’s never going to forget. This Sunday at No Mercy... I’m going to give Triple H exactly the same! ----------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Chris_Jericho35.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Kenny_Dykstra3.jpg[/IMG] [B]Chris Jericho v Kenny Dykstra[/B] After Dykstra not only cost Jericho the championship on Raw and then cost him the rematch at Unforgiven, tonight Jericho looks like he wants to kill Dykstra, and after his attack of Triple H earlier, Jericho is looking for a fight. As such, as soon as the bell rings, Jericho charges at Dykstra, taking him down and striking with rights and lefts, before sending Dykstra off the ropes... dropkick. Jericho is quickly back up... one-handed bulldog! Dykstra quickly rolls to the floor, trying to slow down Jericho’s momentum, but Jericho follows him right out. As the battle continues on the outside, Jericho drives Dykstra into the barricade before sending him shoulder first into the steel steps. Back in the ring, Jericho continues the punishment, as Jericho hits a double underhook backbreaker, before going for the cover... 1... 2... Dykstra barely kicks out. With Dykstra still suffering, Jericho bounces off the ropes... lionsault... no! Dykstra got his knees up, and Jericho goes crashing into them. As Jericho writhes in agony, Dykstra now goes on the attack, hitting Jericho with boots before driving his knee into Jericho’s face. Dykstra then sends Jericho off the ropes, before taking him down with a diving back elbow. As Jericho goes down, Dykstra starts to climb to the top rope. Once he steadies himself, Dykstra launches himself for the leg drop off the top... but he misses! Dykstra feels the full force of his mistake, and Jericho moves quickly to take advantage... walls of Jericho! Jericho has is locked in! Dykstra strains for the ropes, but he can’t quite reach it... so he grabs the ref and pulls him into Jericho, breaking the hold. The referee goes down, but Dykstra has at least managed to save himself. Jericho turns to see the referee down, and as he tries to revive him, Dykstra sneaks up from behind... reverse neckbreaker. Dykstra takes control again, but as he takes a moment to regroup and recover from the walls...[/CENTER] [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/KenAnderson.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]JR:[/B] It’s Kennedy!

Tonight though, they are involved in tag team action. Orton and Batista kick things off, with Batista getting the better of things early on thanks to using power moves such as clotheslines and shoulder blocks. Orton is then sent off the ropes... back body drop! Orton crashes to the mat, and almost immediately tags in the Game. Triple H is tentative to step into the ring with the Animal, but he slowly gets in there. Batista then starts to taunt the Game, calling for him to attack. Triple H takes the bait, charging at Batista... spinebuster! Batista takes the Game down... and here comes Cena. Cena gets the tag, and now he goes to work on Triple H, rocking the champion with right hands before sending the Game off the ropes and taking him down with a hiptoss. Now it’s Cena who comes off the ropes... but Orton drives a knee into Cena’s back. Cena turns and nails Orton with a right hand... but Triple H takes advantage from behind by sending Cena through the ropes to the floor. Cena lands at the feet of Orton, and the legend killer immediately starts laying into Cena with boots, before sending Cena back into the ring. Triple H and Orton now go to work on Cena, punishing him with an abdominal stretch and a chinlock. Cena eventually battles back to his feet, breaking the chinlock of Orton and hitting elbows to the gut, before coming off the ropes... flying shoulder block! Cena crawls towards his corner... and tags in the Animal! Batista charges into the ring... spear! Spear to Orton, but here comes Triple H... spinebuster! The Animal is cleaning house, and he turns and starts shaking the ropes... thumbs up... thumbs down! Batista had hold of Orton... Batista-bo... no! Triple H nails Batista in the gut, but here comes Cena... Triple H swings with the right hand... STFU! Cena has it locked in... oh! Orton boots him in the head! Cena is out, but Batista is back up... spinebuster to Orton! Again Batista takes Orton down, but as Batista turns... pedigree! Pedigree! Triple H hits the pedigree... 1... 2... 3!

Hello everyone, I’m Joey Styles, alongside former ECW Champion Tazz, and tonight Tazz, a match that could be a classic. John Morrison and Kurt Angle one on one. [B]Tazz:[/B] Well I can’t wait for that. But also, with No Mercy this Sunday, I can’t wait to see what happens between Kane and Umaga tonight. These two are on a collision course, and it could get worse tonight. [B]Styles:[/B] Also this Sunday at No Mercy, the battle between two former friends, as Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke go at it... [I]AIN’T NO STOPPIN’ ME NOW[/I] [B]Styles:[/B] And speaking of Shelton Benjamin, here he comes. Shelton Benjamin one on one with The Miz will kick things off tonight.

Both men have proven themselves as great athletes in the past, so it was no surprise at the quick pace the match started at. Benjamin takes Miz down with several armdrags and hiptosses, before sending Miz to the corner... and hitting a big splash. Shelton then goes for a tornado DDT, but Miz manages to counter to a side slam. Miz then stomps away at Benjamin, before locking on an armbar. Miz wrenches back on Benjamin’s arm, even throwing in a couple of kicks to the face as he puts on the pressure. Both men eventually wind up back on their feet, and Benjamin breaks the hold, before ducking a Miz right hand... bridging German suplex! 1... 2... Miz kicks out, but Shelton stays on the attack... roundhouse kick! Shelton again goes for the cover... 1... 2... again Miz hangs on. Benjamin starts to wonder what it’s going to take to end this, but he slams Miz to the mat and then climbs to the top rope. Benjamin steadies himself, as Miz gets back to his feet... but he misses the missile dropkick! Now Miz looks to end it, coming off the ropes... reality check... no! Benjamin counters... paydirt! Benjamin connects, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! Shelton Benjamin grabs the win ahead of his match at No Mercy. [B]Shelton Benjamin beat The Miz (B-)[/B][/CENTER] [B]Styles:[/B] An impressive victory for Shelton Benjamin. [B]Tazz:[/B] This Sunday at No Mercy, I really hope Shelton gives Elijah Burke the beating he deserves. I’m sick and tired of listening to Burke whining and...

[CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/elijahburke3tr31.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Burke:[/B] Shelton... great win man. I guess you can win a match without me getting involved after all. I mean, that’s how things used to be wasn’t it Shelton? You put the title on the line, me come out and save your ass. Well those days are over Shelton. This Sunday... I’m going to prove that I’m better than you, that I’ve always been better than you! I should’ve been the champion at Wrestlemania, I should’ve won that triple threat! But no... you caught me from behind, and you were the champion. And when you lost the title... did you help me? Did you get in my corner and help me become champion? No... of course you didn’t. Well you know what Shelton? I don’t need you! And this Sunday... I’ll prove it to you... and the world. [B]Styles:[/B] Well... an intense promo from Elijah Burke. [B]Tazz:[/B] This match at No Mercy between these two is really starting to heat up.

Kendrick has been feeling the effects of his recent schedule, with him honouring his ECW commitments as well as teaming with Paul London and chasing tag team gold on Smackdown. Consequently, it’s Cabana who starts the match with Noble, and Colt’s goofy style soon has Noble off balance, as Cabana takes him down with the flying ******* before hitting a release belly to back suplex. Noble quickly tags in Kidman, who charges at Cabana, only to be taken down with a drop toe hold before Colt drops the leg across the back of Kidman’s head. Kendrick is tagged into the match, and he starts to wear down Kidman with kicks to the gut and then a headscissor takedown. Kendrick then goes for a flying forearm smash, but Kidman dives for the mat and Kendrick crashes off it. Kidman and Noble now use quick tags to focus in on Kendrick, paying particular attention to the damaged ribs Kendrick has been suffering from. Noble drives his shoulder into the midsection in the corner, while Kidman gets a 2 count after a painful gutbuster. Noble looks like he is about to hit a sitout suplex, but Kendrick counters down the back and nails an enziguri. Kendrick manages to crawl to his corner and tag in Cabana, who charges into the ring and takes down both Noble and Kidman. Eventually Noble is left alone with Cabana and Kendrick, and it’s the Cruiserweight Champion who finishes him off, running him to the corner and nailing sliced bread. Cabana makes the cover... 1... 2... 3. The streak continues, but once again Kendrick is hurt and he needs help getting to the back. Will he able to compete in the tag team title match he and Paul London are meant to have this Friday night?

Hass clearly can’t match Kane for power, however he does use his technical skills early on to gain an advantage, using a waistlock to wrestle Kane to the mat before delivering stiff kicks to the spine. Hass then looks to come off the ropes, but he runs right into a big boot to the face. After this, it doesn’t take Kane long to dominate the match, as first he hits a dropkick to the face as Hass sits up on the mat, before slowly climbing to the top rope, steadying himself... flying clothesline! Hass goes down, and Kane has the cover... 1... 2... Hass gets the shoulder up, but the end is surely near. Hass can barely get back on his feet, but when he does Kane is waiting for him... he has Hass by the throat... chokeslam... no! Hass battles his way out of it and takes Kane down with a great belly to belly suplex. Hass has found a resurgence from somewhere, and he now attacks with boots and right hands. Hass drags Kane towards the corner and starts climbing to the top rope for a moonsault... but Kane sits up. Hass is still positioning himself, but Kane is already up... and now he has him by the throat... chokeslam off the top rope! Hass goes crashing to the mat, and that’s gotta do it... 1... 2... 3. An emphatic win for Kane. [B]Kane beat Charlie Hass (B-)[/B][/CENTER] [B]Styles:[/B] Another absolutely dominant win for Kane. [B]Tazz:[/B] Man Kane is looking great going into No Mercy.

[B]Tazz:[/B] Is he gonna chokeslam him on the ramp? [B]Styles:[/B] Kane... oh! Estrada from behind with a chair! Down goes Kane. [B]Tazz:[/B] God look at this. Now we’ve got Umaga and Estrada putting the boots to Kane. [B]Styles:[/B] And now... what are they doing? [B]Tazz:[/B] They’re dragging Kane up the ramp. Where they taking him? [B]Styles:[/B] What the... oh no. No! Umaga... he’s going to... no! [B]Tazz:[/B] Oh my God! [B]Styles:[/B] Umaga just threw Kane off the stage! [B]Tazz:[/B] Holly... whoa. Was that a spark? [B]Styles:[/B] Kane went crashing into a electrical board of sorts and... oh my God! Kane... [B]Tazz:[/B] He’s out cold and the area around him is going up in flames! We need some help out here! [B]Styles:[/B] Kane could be in serious trouble here. We... we need some help out here! -------------------- [B]Styles:[/B] Welcome back folks. Just before we went to commercial, there was a brutal attack of Kane by Umaga, where the ECW Champion sent the Big Red Machine flying off the stage. Kane went crashing into an electrical circuit box of some sorts, the whole area went up in flames... [B]Tazz:[/B] You can still see the smoke out there. [B]Styles:[/B] And we believe Kane was seriously injured in that attack from Umaga. EMTs and trainers were out here, Kane was taken away on a stretcher... he may or may not have been badly burned by what happened, we couldn’t get a good look at it but... [B]Tazz:[/B] It doesn’t look good for Kane. Will Kane even make it to No Mercy? [B]Styles:[/B] I don’t know... I honestly don’t know. [B]Tazz: [/B]And we’ve still got another match to call! [B]Styles:[/B] Right. Here comes John Morrison right now. Remember the stipulation added earlier in the night. The winner of this match gets a shot at the ECW Champion, whoever that may be, next Tuesday night on Sci-Fi. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/JohnMorrison.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Kurt_Angle7.jpg[/IMG] [B]John Morrison v Kurt Angle[/B] The last battle between these two ended in a no contest when Umaga made his presence felt and all three men started brawling at ringside. Tonight, with the prize of a title shot next week for the winner, both men are determined to make themselves the outright victor this time around. The early goings are very much back and forth, as off the initial tie up, Angle takes Morrison down with a waistlock, only for Morrison to counter with an armlock, only for Angle to counter that into an armbar. Angle tries to apply pressure, but Morrison breaks free with a kick to the face, before driving Angle to the corner. An irish whip is reversed by Angle, and he takes Morrison over with a hiptoss. The pace of the match begins to quicken, as Morrison goes flying off a back body drop, before Angle again sends him off the ropes and takes him down a drop toe hold... ankle lock! Angle has it locked in... but Morrison quickly makes it to the ropes. Angle stays on the attack with forearms to the face, but Morrison now starts to make his move after hitting a spinning wheel kick and following it up with an enziguri. Angle is down near the corner, and Morrison charges in... split legged corkscrew moonsault! Morrison goes for the cover... 1... 2... Angle barely gets the shoulder up. Morrison is now in control, and he stays on the attack... Russian leg sweep... standing shooting star press! Another cover... 1... 2... again Angle barely kicks out. Angle struggles back to his feet, and Morrison looks to end things... kick to the midsection... moonlight... no! Angle counters... Angle slam! Angle slam! Kurt Angle nails it, and no he hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! Kurt Angle wins! [B]Kurt Angle beat John Morrison (A)[/B][/CENTER] [B]Styles:[/B] He did it! Angle did it! Kurt Angle has beaten John Morrison! [B]Tazz:[/B] Well Kurt gets himself a shot at the winner of the title match this Sunday but... will Kane make it to No Mercy? [B]Styles:[/B] Well... I don’t know. But there’s only one way to find out. Join us this Sunday, live on pay per view for No Mercy!

Welcome to Smackdown! Hello everyone, I’m Michael Cole alongside Jonathan Coachman, we are sold out in Spokane, WA. No Mercy is just 48 hours away, and it could be the last night we see MVP as the World Heavyweight Champion. [B]Coach:[/B] It could, but it won’t. I’m sorry to tell you this Cole, but Bobby Lashley doesn’t have a chance in hell of winning this Sunday. MVP is on his way to being one of the greatest champions in Smackdown history, and he’ll continue down that path at No Mercy. [B]Cole:[/B] Well speaking of the World Heavyweight Champion, he’s in the ring right now, as we step into the VIP lounge with MVP... [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/MVP.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]MVP:[/B] Once again, MVP is in the ring, and that can only mean one thing. Big things are poppin’, little things are stoppin’. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the view, cause the VIP lounge is for people better than you. As you know, this Sunday at No Mercy, I will defend my World Heavyweight Championship. So... I’d like to bring out my guest tonight, the man I’m going to beat this Sunday... Bobby Lashley. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/BobbyLashley.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Cole:[/B] Well here comes the number one contender. Bobby Lashley, a man who has been on a roll since the draft brought him back to Smackdown. [B]Coach:[/B] Well Bobby Lashley may have been on fire lately, but MVP is going to put that fire our this Sunday. [B]Cole:[/B] Do you have to talk about fire after what happened to Kane on Tuesday night? [B]Coach:[/B] Uh... well... [B]MVP:[/B] Bobby... welcome to the VIP lounge. Now... this Sunday, you and me are going to go one on one for the World Heavyweight Championship. I bet you’re feeling pretty good about yourself aren’t you? I mean, you beat the Big Show to earn this chance, you beat Edge last week... things are going good for you right now. But this Sunday... all of that comes to an end. This Sunday... I will retain my championship. This Sunday... I’m going to embarrass you Lashley. This Sunday I’m... [B]Lashley:[/B] This Sunday... you’re going to lose that championship! [B]MVP:[/B] Hey... hey! Where you going? You can’t just walk into my VIP lounge, say something like that and leave. Hey! What’s the matter Lashley? You know what, forget it... you ain’t good enough for my VIP lounge anyway. You just like all these idiots in the crowd... second rate! [B]Cole:[/B] Oh! Lashley just nailed MVP! [B]Coach:[/B] How disrespectful! Attacking a guy in the VIP lounge! [B]Cole:[/B] MVP and Lashley brawling in the ring... and MVP’s running up the ramp! Lashley has just kicked MVP out of the VIP lounge! [B]Coach:[/B] Well that’s not going to happen this Sunday. MVP is going to embarrass Lashley, I guarantee it! ------------------------ [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TEW%20Titles/WWEUnitedStates.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/PaulBurchill.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Matt_Hardy22.jpg[/IMG] [B]United States Championship Match Paul Burchill (C) v Matt Hardy[/B] After the shock interference of William Regal at No Mercy and the beatdown Regal and Burchill delivered to Hardy last week, the challenger for the United States Championship is understandably wary going into this match. However, when the bell rings, Hardy goes straight on the attack, charging at Burchill and taking him down with a tackle. Hardy then starts to drop rights and lefts, while Burchill can only try and cover up. Both men make it back to their feet, but Hardy is still in control, taking Burchill down with a Russian legsweep before coming off the ropes and dropping an elbow. Hardy again looks to come off the ropes, but Regal grabs Hardy’s foot. The distraction is enough for Burchill to take control, dropping Hardy with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Burchill then turns to a series of power moves, scooping Hardy up and hitting a shoulderbeaker before again sending Hardy to the mat with a backbreaker. Hardy is suffering, but he catches a break when Burchill goes for a legdrop and misses. Hardy now goes on the attack, waiting for Burchill to get back on his feet... side effect! Hardy goes for the cover... 1... 2... Burchill gets the shoulder up. Hardy looks to press home his advantage, going to the second rope... legdrop... no. Regal drags Burchill out of the ring, and it looks like Burchill and Regal have had enough and they want to keep the title by a countout...[/CENTER] [B]Cole:[/B] Burchill and Regal are just walking away! [B]Coach:[/B] What a smart move from William Regal. This is why he’s now advising Paul Burchill. He knew it wasn’t looking good, so he got Burchill out... [B]Cole:[/B] Wait... here comes Hardy! Matt Hardy chasing Burchill and Regal up the ramp... right hand to Regal! Hardy has Burchill... and he tosses him back into the ring. [B]Coach:[/B] How dare he! How dare he put his hands on William Regal like that! [B]Cole:[/B] I’m sure Regal deserved it... and now Matt has Burchill... twist of fate! [B]Coach:[/B] No! [B]Cole:[/B] Oh! From behind, Regal with the brass knucks! Hardy wins the match but he doesn’t win the title. [B][CENTER]Matt Hardy beat Paul Burchill by DQ (B-)[/CENTER][/B] [B]Cole:[/B] Dammit! Again William Regal attacking Matt Hardy! [B]Coach:[/B] Well he shouldn’t have besmirched Regal at ringside like that. [B]Cole:[/B] Regal and Burchill are doing a number on Matt Hardy... oh! A shot right between the eyes with the knucks. [B]Coach:[/B] Well Matt Hardy brought it on by himself. He should’ve never put his hands on William Regal. ---------------------- [I]In the locker room, Edge is giving his boys a pep talk...[/I] [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/AdamCopeland.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Curt_Hawkins2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Zach_Ryder2.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Edge:[/B] So... tonight’s the night huh? You two against London and Kendrick, the guys who beat you last week. [B]Hawkins:[/B] Yeah but that’s not going to happen tonight. [B]Ryder:[/B] Exactly. Tonight’s for the gold, and there’s no way we’re giving that up. [B]Edge:[/B] Well... I hope you’re right. Otherwise... I might need to end this little arrangement we’ve got going on. [B]Ryder:[/B] What? [B]Hawkins:[/B] You’ll ditch us if we lose the titles? [B]Edge:[/B] Listen... I know you guys have helped me in the past. I’m grateful, I really am. But I got you those titles... and if you guys are going to just throw all my hard work away... then I don’t really want to be associated with you anymore. [B]Hawkins:[/B] Uh... [B]Ryder:[/B] Yeah but... [B]Edge:[/B] Best of luck guys. I’ll be watching. ---------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Gregory_Helms8.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/SuperCrazy.jpg[/IMG] [B]Gregory Helms v Super Crazy[/B] Helms has been picking up his fair share of victories lately, and his stock is once again rising in the Cruiserweight division. Tonight, he goes one on one with Super Crazy, who hasn’t had much luck since the draft brought him back to Smackdown. Helms dominates early on, after driving Crazy to the corner from the initial tie up before hitting a series of right hands and then dropping Crazy with a sidewalk slam. Helms then comes off the ropes and hits a legdrop, before trying to wear Crazy down with a reverse chinlock. Helms continues to drive the knee while he has the hold locked on, but eventually Crazy manages to fight back to his feet. Elbows to the midsection breaks the hold, before Crazy sends Helms off the ropes and nails him with a dropkick. Helms backs off to the corner, but Crazy keeps the pressure on, climbing to the second rope and raining down with right hands. Crazy looks like being on his way to 10, but at 7, Helms grabs Crazy by the feet and drops him face first onto the top turnbuckle. Crazy is down and in pain, and Helms wastes no time in taking advantage, dragging Crazy back to his feet... nightmare on Helms street! Helms connects, goes for the cover... 1... 2... 3. Another win for Gregory Helms.

Tonight, we get back the tag team titles! [B]Kendrick:[/B] Yeah... uh... [B]London:[/B] What? [B]Kendrick:[/B] I don’t know man. I mean, I’m still hurt, I got to wrestle two a weeks, defend the Cruiserweight Championship... I don’t know if this is a good idea. [B]London:[/B] What?! This is what we talked about man. You and me, getting the band back together, winning the titles! [B]Kendrick:[/B] I know but... can we postpone to next week or something? I could really use another week off to... [B]London:[/B] C’mon Brian! Look, just suck it up for one more match and we’re there. We know we can beat these guys. In about 15 minutes, we could be tag team champions again! [B]Kendrick:[/B] 15 minutes? [B]London:[/B] Yeah. [B]Kendrick:[/B] You mean we’re next? [B]London:[/B] Yeah! Infact... we better get to the ring. Let’s go.

London starts the match with Hawkins, and the challengers take control early, with London hitting a dropkick which sends Hawkins to the floor before hitting a plancha to the outside. Back in the ring, London continues to attack, but when he sends Hawkins off the ropes, a blind tag is made to Ryder, and while London drops Hawkins, Ryder nails him from behind with a neckbreaker. Hawkins and Ryder make quick tags to inflict more damage, but London nails Ryder with a crossbody before diving for his corner to tag in Kendrick. Despite his injuries, Kendrick comes flying into the ring, taking down both Hawkins and Ryder with flying forearms. Kendrick then looks to finish things off by going for sliced bread on Ryder... but Hawkins drops him with a chopblock. The champions now focus on Kendrick’s knee, using legdrops and legdrags to cause damage, before Hawkins locks on a half Boston crab. Kendrck cries out in pain, and he struggles to reach the ropes. Instead of breaking the hold, Kendrick battles back to his feet... and nails Hawkins with an enziguri. Both men go down, and the race is on to see who will tag their partner first. Hawkins tags in Ryder... but here comes London! Ryder charges at London... back body drop! Ryder is back up... but he goes down again from a dropkick. London runs at Ryder... running shooting star press... no! Ryder got his knees up to block it. Kendrick is really struggling with his knee injury to get back to his feet in the corner, but he pulls himself back up...[/CENTER] [B]Cole:[/B] London now crawling to the corner... here comes Kendrick! What...? [B]Coach:[/B] He’s not tagging in. [B]Cole:[/B] What is this? [B]Coach:[/B] I don’t believe it. Brian Kendrick is refusing to tag Paul London! [B]Cole:[/B] London pleading with Kendrick to make the tag but... and Kendrick... Kendrick’s leaving! [B]Coach:[/B] What in the... [B]Cole:[/B] Brian Kendrick is walking out on Paul London! [B]Coach:[/B] I don’t understand this. I mean... [B]Cole:[/B] Spear! Spear from Hawkins! Curt Hawkins just nailed Paul London... 1... 2... 3. [B][CENTER]Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder beat Paul London and Brian Kendrick to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship (B)[/CENTER][/B] [B]Cole:[/B] I... I’m speechless! I can’t believe Brian Kendrick just turned his back on Paul London like that. [B]Coach:[/B] What does this mean for Brian Kendrick though?

I’ll respect you if you give me a match this Sunday. [B]JBL:[/B] You want a match this Sunday? Who against? [B]Edge:[/B] I want the Big Show! [B]JBL:[/B] Well... I like the sounds of that.

I want a match with Burchill, without that ******* Regal sticking his nose in! [B]JBL:[/B] Does my office have a revolving door I don’t know about or something? And when would you like this match Hardy? [B]Matt:[/B] This Sunday at No Mercy! [B]Edge:[/B] Back of the line junior. I already asked for a match at No Mercy. [B]Matt:[/B] So what? Just cause you asked first you get... [B]JBL:[/B] Enough! You want Big Show, you want Burchill... hell I had Mysterio in here earlier asking for a match with Santino! [B]Edge:[/B] Rey and Santino? [B]JBL:[/B] There isn’t enough spots on the card to go around! Not since Foley started kissing Mr McMahon’s ass and got Benjamin and Burke on the card. But... I tell you what I’ll do. This Sunday... it’s going to be Edge... Paul Burchill... and Santino Marella... in a six man tag team match against Big Show, Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio. Now that’s the best I can do for guys right now. [B]Hardy:[/B] Fine. But I want my rematch. [B]Edge:[/B] You know... you said you wanted to put Smackdown back on top. Well for my money... maybe you oughta start with Foley and ECW. [B]JBL:[/B] Great minds think alike Edge... --------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ChuckPalumbo-2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Ron_Killings.jpg[/IMG] [B]Chuck Palumbo v Ron Killings[/B] Neither of these men have scored many victories lately, so tonight could be a chance for both to put themselves back on the map with the fans. Killings starts strongest, using quick moves such as forearm smashes and German suplexes to gain the advantage, Killings then looks to come off the ropes, but Palumbo nails him with a big boot to the face. Palumbo then turns on the power, scooping Killings up and dropping him with a shoulderbreaker before tossing him halfway across the ring with a belly to belly overhead. Palumbo waits for Killings to get back on his feet, and when he does, Palumbo charges in for a shoulder block... but misses. Palumbo goes shoulder first into the turnbuckle, and Killings rolls him up from behind... 1... 2... Palumbo gets the shoulder up, but Killings stays on the attack, hitting a great corkscrew elbow smash and following it up with another cover for a 2 count. Palumbo is hanging on, but the end seems near as Killings has him lined up... axe kick... no! Palumbo ducks... full throttle... no! Killings breaks free with elbows... kick to the midsection... axe kick connects! Killings hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! Ron Killings grabs the win.

[B]Kendrick:[/B] Why? I’ll tell you why... because during that match, everything started to fall into place for me. During that match, I realised something. Paul London doesn’t give a damn about me. He just wants to ride my coattails as Cruiserweight Champion to get himself a title. Well I am sick and tired of carrying Paul London. I’m hurt right now, and I still did all the work in that team. Paul London... screw you! ---------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Big_Show5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/SantinoMarella.jpg[/IMG] [B]Big Show v Santino Marella[/B] After weeks of taunting Rey Mysterio and bragging about being taller than him, Santino gets a taste of his own medicine tonight as he takes on the Big Show. As they square off when the bell rings, the size of the task ahead of the Italian finally becomes clear to him. Santino throws right hands at Show, but they have very little effect. Big Show eventually decides to stop playing, blocking a right hand before nailing Santino with a huge headbutt. Santino tries to crawl to the corner and hide, but Big Show is in no mood to let Santino recover, dragging him back to his feet, propping him up in the corner... and slapping Santino across the chest! Another pair of chest slaps rain down, and as Santino cries out in agony, Show sends him off the ropes... and nails him with a big boot. Show then stand on Santino’s chest, and again the little Italian cries out in pain. The end appears to be near, as when Santino finally staggers back to his feet, Big Show is already waiting for him with his hand in the air... he has him by the throat... chokeslam! Big Show drives Santino to the mat, and he doesn’t even bother to hook the leg... 1... 2... 3. Big Show dominates Santino, and with the two both set to be part of the six man tag at No Mercy, it doesn’t look good for Santino and the rest of his team.

Edge and Lashley kick things off, with Lashley quickly overpowering Edge and driving him to the corner. As the referee calls for a break, Edge gives Lashley a quick slap across the face, enraging the number one contender. Edge pays the price for this as Lashley hits a spinning spinebuster out of the corner, before tagging in Mysterio. Rey climbs to the top rope, as Edge gets back on his feet... hurricanrana off the top! 1... 2... MVP makes the save, but Mysterio stays in control, coming off the ropes... wheelbarrow bulldog... no... Edge counters... oh! He tosses Rey into the turnbuckle, before staggering to his corner and tagging in MVP. The champion now goes to work on Rey, hitting vicious right hands before locking him in a facelock and driving the knee into the skull. Quick tags soon follow, as Edge and MVP work together to wear down Rey, hitting moves like Russian legsweeps and overhead belly to belly suplex. MVP then looks to come off the ropes with the ballin’ elbow... but he showboats too long and Mysterio rolls out of the way. Mysterio dives for the corner and tags in Lashley, who immediately starts unloading on the champion, scooping him up and taking him down with a running powerslam. Lashley goes for the cover... 1... 2... Edge makes the save, but Mysterio is back up, and now all four men are going at it. Lashley sends Edge off the ropes, but when Edge ducks a clothesline, he comes back off the ropes... spear... to MVP! Edge spears MVP by accident, and a dropkick from Rey hangs Edge up on the ropes... 619... right into... dominator! Lashley nails Edge, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3!

Good few shows there buddy. Especially a fan of the Kane thing, I hope he doesn't make it to No Mercy to add a bit of legitimacy to the whole thing. I loved the little reference to it on Smackdown, it's little touches like that which make diaries great, I think. Mr Kennedy v [B]Kenny Dykstra[/B] [I]I don't think it would make sense for Dykstra to lose so soon after the formation of Revolution. They need a load of momentum and Dykstra needs to benefit from being part of a stable like that[/I] [B]Shelton Benjamin[/B] v Elijah Burke [I]I like both and think they could be a big deal for you long term, but I think Shelton has more to offer right now as a former ECW Champion[/I] [B]Big Show, Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio[/B] v Edge, Paul Burchill and Santino Marella [I]Burchill is having his way with Matt, I hope Edge goes over Show in their feud, all in all I think the heels will probably have a better time of it long term so the faces should get a nice PPV win. Besides, as entertaining as Santino supposedly is, he doesn't have the talented to go over Rey in anything other than a horrific screwjob.[/I] [B]Shawn Michaels[/B] v Carlito [I]I think Carlito is in line to be a star for you, but even so, I just think overall this feud gets the most out of having HBK go over.[/I] [B]Umaga[/B] v Kane [I]I'm hoping Kane doesn't make it to the event due to his injuries so Umaga to win by forfeit. If there is a replacement for Kane Umaga will still win. However, what I think will happen is Kane does make it there but Umaga wins as Kane is in no shape to wrestle, so either way the champ retains[/I] [B]John Cena[/B] v Randy Orton [I]No idea. The parking lot brawl is an interesting idea and is a difficult match to pull off in my opinion, but I love that you are taking their feud in to big matches without going through the "Cage, I Quit, Last Man Standing, Hell in a Cell" route that The Undertaker seems to do every year. The scrappy element to the match will definitely further their feud[/I] [B]Montel Vontavious Porter[/B] v Bobby Lashley [I]MVP is making a good champion and I don't see Lashley really adding anything to the brand as champion. I still don't see MVP as the main man on the brand yet, but I'm sure you'll bring me around quickly enough[/I] [B]Triple H[/B] v Batista [I]Revolution has just begun and righfully you are making it THE storyline on Raw. Nothing is gained by having Batista win this early on and ruining Revolution's credibility, unless it's a Jericho-Batista one day double switchy thing.[/I]

Thanks keef, very insightful predictions. Are there anymore? 1 prediction doesn't bode well for when Cyber Sunday comes around and I need votes for the matches. :(

Mr Kennedy v [B]Kenny Dykstra[/B] [B]Shelton Benjamin[/B] v Elijah Burke [B]Big Show, Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio[/B] v Edge, Paul Burchill and Santino Marella [B]Shawn Michaels[/B] v Carlito Umaga v [B]Kane[/B] John Cena v [B]Randy Orton[/B] [B]Montel Vontavious Porter[/B] v Bobby Lashley [B]Triple H[/B] v Batista

[Sarcasm]

Mr Kennedy v [B]Kenny Dykstra[/B] I smell interfernce [B]Shelton Benjamin[/B] v Elijah Burke I like both guys but I like Benjamin better. Big Show, Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio v [B]Edge, Paul Burchill and Santino Marella[/B] Any team that has the Greatness of Edge and Burchill together must equal win. [B]Shawn Michaels[/B] v Carlito Shawn Micheals wins the battle but I hope Carlito wins the war. [B]Umaga[/B] v Kane I think I know where your going with this. Like how Keefy said, I hope Kane doesn't show up because of Injuries to add realism to your diary. [B]John Cena[/B] v Randy Orton It would make sense for cena to win. But it can go ether way. [B]Montel Vontavious Porter[/B] v Bobby Lashley I don't see the gain by having Lashely as your champion. [B]Triple H[/B] v Batista There is no way that Triple H will lose to Batista. Save it for your "hero". All in all KUTGW.

Welcome to No Mercy! Hello everyone, I’m Michael Cole, joining me at the Smackdown table as always is Jonathan Coachman, and Coach, we’re in for a heck of a night tonight! [B]Coach:[/B] We are, but not for the reasons you want it to be Cole. MVP will defend the World Heavyweight Championship tonight, I guarantee it. [B]Cole:[/B] Also tonight, a huge six man tag, as Big Show, Rey Mysterio and Matt Hardy take on Edge, the United States Champion Paul Burchill and Santino Marella. Right now though, let’s throw it over to our ECW colleagues, Joey Styles and Tazz. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/JoeyStyles.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Tazz.jpg[/IMG] [B]Styles:[/B] Thanks guys. Tonight, the ECW Championship is scheduled to be defended by Umaga against Kane, but after Kane was carried out on a stretcher last Tuesday night, we don’t know if the big red machine is going to be here tonight. [B]Tazz:[/B] Well that is true. I hope Kane makes it tonight, I want to see Kane get his shot at the championship, but he may not be 100% going into tonight. [B]Styles:[/B] Also tonight, a very bitter and personal rivalry comes to a head, as Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke go one on one. Right now let’s hand it over to the hall of fame Raw desk, good ol’ JR Jim Ross and Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/JimRoss.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/JerryLawler.jpg[/IMG] [B]JR:[/B] Our thanks to the guys at ECW. King, we’ve got a big night ahead of us too. The Revolution could end tonight if Batista gets his way. [B]King:[/B] Well it certainly could, but you’ve always got to watch out for Kenny Dykstra and the Canadian Bulldogs. You know they love to make their presence felt in Triple H’s matches. [B]JR:[/B] We’ll also see John Cena and Randy Orton in a parking lot brawl, Shawn Michaels and Carlito... [I]KENNEDY[/I] [B]JR:[/B] But it looks like we’re going to kick things off with Mr Kennedy and Kenny Dykstra. [B]King:[/B] Well ever since Kennedy was kicked out of Revolution, he’s been dying to get his hands on Dykstra. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Ken_Kennedy3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Kenny_Dykstra3.jpg[/IMG] [B]Mr Kennedy v Kenny Dykstra[/B] Since being kicked out of Revolution, Kennedy and Dykstra have both been wanting this match, Kennedy out for revenge, while Dykstra is out to prove he will get the job done while Kennedy failed in the past. Kennedy and Dykstra don’t even bother waiting for the bell to ring, as the war starts the second Dykstra gets into the ring, with both men trading hard rights and lefts. Dykstra looks like getting the advantage by sending Kennedy off the ropes, but Kennedy counters Dykstra’s back body drop attempt with a snap DDT. Kennedy continues to apply pressure, hitting a Russian legsweep and following it up with a legdrop. Although the crowd now cheer for him, Kennedy shows he still has a vicious side, as he nails Kenny with a straight kick to the head against the ropes. Kennedy goes for the cover... 1... 2... Dykstra gets his foot on the ropes. Dykstra rolls to the floor, trying to regroup, but Kennedy stays on the attack, driving Dykstra into the barricade. Kennedy then looks to send Dykstra into the steel steps, but Dykstra reverses and it’s Kennedy who crashes into the steel. Back in the ring, Dykstra is now in control, hitting a neckbreaker before driving Kennedy to the corner and hitting him with a series of elbows to the head. Kennedy is then sent to the opposite corner, but when Dykstra charges in, he runs straight into Kennedy’s boot, before Kennedy nails him with a hard clothesline. The match swings back and forth, with Dykstra locking on a chinlock but Kennedy eventually breaking it with a jawbreaker. Kennedy then nails Dykstra with a roundhouse enziguri, and as Dykstra slumps to the mat, Kennedy hooks the leg... 1... 2... no! Dykstra gets the shoulder up, but Kennedy stays on the attack, dragging Dykstra to his feet and propping him up on his shoulders. Kennedy then goes to the top rope... Green Bay plunge... no! Dykstra is trying to fight it, holding on to the top rope... and eventually Kennedy crashes to the mat. Kenny quickly steadies himself on the top rope... legdrop off the top! Dykstra connects, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! Kenny Dykstra pulls out a victory, and this could yet be another great night for Revolution.

[B]Matt:[/B] Well maybe it didn’t, but we’re still going out there tonight looking for one thing... a victory.

Kenny makes his way through the backstage area, before turning down a corridor. As he does, he is blindsided by a man wearing a black hoddie, with it pulled down over his face so we can’t see who it is. This mystery man proceeds to destroy Dykstra, bouncing him off the walls and trash cans before the camera man falls over and we lose picture...[/I] -------------------- [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/SBenjamin2_ndp.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/elijahburke3tr31.jpg[/IMG] [B]Shelton Benjamin v Elijah Burke[/B] Two former friends who split over jealousy and engaged in a bitter, personal feud, and it all ends tonight as former ECW Champion Shelton Benjamin goes one on one with the man who brought him to ECW in the first place, Elijah Burke. Having been friends for so long, these two know each other well, so it’s no surprise that the early goings of the match are dominated by counters and chain wrestling. A waistlock takedown is reversed, only for that to be countered to a headscissors, only for that to be countered to a bridging pin, only for both men to get back on their feet before Benjamin hits a German suplex. The faced paced nature of the match continues when Burke is sent off the ropes and then dropped with a roundhouse kick. Benjamin goes for a quick cover... 1... 2... Burke kicks out. Benjamin then sends Burke to the corner, but when Benjamin charges in for a splash, Burke moves and Benjamin crashes off the turnbuckle. Burke looks to take advantage quickly, coming off the ropes... outer limitz elbow! Burke now attacks with stiff boots, as he looks to press home his advantage. Burke then nails a spinning sit-out spinebuster, and he has Benjamin’s shoulders down... 1... 2... Benjamin kicks out. Burke is still in control though, and he drags Benjamin to his feet... Elijah experience... no! Benjamin fights it off with elbows, sends Burke off the ropes... Burke ducks a clothesline... kick to Benjamin’s gut... vertical suplex... no! Benjamin counters that... falling neckbreaker! Benjamin has the cover... 1... 2... Burke gets the shoulder up! Neither man is able to hit the big move to end the match, but it looks like Benjamin may have it mind... t-bone suplex! 1... 2... again Burke kicks out! Benjamin can’t believe it, but he stays on the attack, sending Burke to the corner... Burke reverses... oh! Benjamin crashes chest first off the turnbuckle, and here comes Burke... Elijah express... no! Burke goes crashing into the turnbuckle... paydirt! Benjamin nails the paydirt, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! Shelton Benjamin gets the win, and he finally sees off Elijah Burke.

Even though this is a tag match, the tension between Big Show and Edge, Hardy and Burchill and Mysterio and Santino is evident. Mysterio and Burchill kick things off, with Rey using his speed and small size to his advantage, avoiding much off Burchill’s offense and scoring some of his own. Mysterio comes off the ropes and hits a wheelbarrow DDT, before going to his corner and tagging in Matt. Hardy nails Burchill with right hands, before driving him to the corner. Hardy hits rights and lefts to the gut, but when he goes for a clothesline in the corner he runs right into a stiff boot from Burchill. Santino now gets the tag, and the goofy Italian goes to work with kicks to the leg. Santino then sends Matt off the ropes, but Hardy ducks his clothesline before hitting a flying forearm. Rey comes back into the ring, and he strikes with kicks before hitting a great head scissors takedown. Mysterio then looks to come off the ropes, but Edge knees him in the back and Santino takes advantage with a forearm to the spine. Quick tags follow as Edge and Burchill cause much of the damage to Rey, with Burchill hitting a overhead belly to belly suplex and Edge nailing a spinebuster for a 2 count. Mysterio is hurt, and Edge crouches in the corner ready for the spear... but Santino tags himself in. Edge and Burchill can’t believe it, but Marella claims he will be the one to pin Rey. After arguing his case with his team mates, Santino finally turns round... right into a dropkick from Rey. Mysterio crawls towards his corner... and tags in Big Show. Show steps over the top rope and nails Santino with a clothesline... then Burchill runs into a boot... while Edge is hesitant to get involved. Big Show taunts Edge to charge at him, but here comes Burchill... no! Hardy and Mysterio hit the ring, and now we’ve got 5 men brawling. Hardy hits a clothesline that sees both men go over the top rope, while Rey and Santino battle it out... spear! Edge spears Big Show out of nowhere! Edge goes for the cover... 1... 2... droppin’ da dime! Mysterio connects on the back of Edge’s head for the save, and Edge rolls to the outside. Santino is now left alone with Rey and Big Show... and there’s nowhere for the Italian to run. Big Show whips him in... drop toe hold from Rey... off the ropes... 619! Right into... chokeslam! Chokeslam! Big Show has the cover as Hardy and Mysterio watch for interference... 1... 2... 3!

Primo and Apolo are as always at ringside, and Primo tries to distract Michaels by jumping on the apron. As Michaels gets in Primo’s face, Carlito charges in... but he runs right into Primo, as Michaels shows his experience by not falling for the distraction. Michaels starts teeing off on Carlito, before hitting an atomic drop then coming off the ropes with a flying forearm. Michaels again comes off the ropes, but Apolo grabs him by the ankle... and Carlito hits a clothesline that sends Michaels over the top rope to the floor. In the ring Carlito distracts the referee, while on the floor, Apolo drives Michaels spine first into the ringpost and Primo sends him crashing into the barricade. By the time the referee turns around, Primo and Apolo have vacated the area, and it’s Carlito who goes outside to throw Michaels back in. In the ring, Carlito locks on a chinlock, looking to wear down HBK. Eventually both men fight back to their feet, but when Michaels sends Carlito off the ropes, Carlito ducks his clothesline... victory roll... 1... 2... Michaels kicks out... both men quickly back up... oh! Huge back hand chop from Michaels... and another one... and a third backs Carlito into the corner. Michaels sends Carlito across... Carlito staggers out of the corner... big back body drop! Carlito is down, and Michaels climbs to the top rope... Apolo is on the apron... a kick to the face sends Apolo down. Here comes Michaels... elbow off the top! Michaels hooks the leg... 1... 2... Apolo barely kicks out. Michaels can’t believe it, but he now goes to the corner and starts tuning up the band...[/CENTER] [B]King:[/B] Here he comes... [B]JR:[/B] Sweet... oh wait, Primo has Michaels by the ankle... right hand to Primo... backstabber! [B]King:[/B] Wow! [B]JR:[/B] Carlito hits the backstabber, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3.

[I]A commotion can be heard from behind the door of Shane McMahon’s office. As Shane and Triple H run towards the door, they get there only to find it’s locked! The Game starts pulling away at the handle, but it won’t budge. Screams can be heard from inside, while Shane shouts at Triple H to get them inside. Eventually the Game starts kicking away at the door, eventually breaking it down. As Shane and Triple H burst inside, they see...[/I] [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/DHSmith.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TJ_Wilson6.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Shane:[/B] What the...

God dammit! --------------------- [B]Styles:[/B] Well uh... it seems like Revolution is being taken apart one by one. [B]Tazz:[/B] Yeah but who is it that’s doing it? I mean is it Batista? [B]Styles:[/B] Well we heard a series of names being mentioned earlier. I mean, Chris Jericho? The Undertaker maybe? [B]Tazz:[/B] Wait a minute... did you say “Revolution is being taken apart one by one” just now? [B]Styles:[/B] Yeah. [B]Tazz:[/B] Didn’t Shawn Michaels say something like that last Monday night? [B]Styles:[/B] I think he did yeah but... it couldn’t be Shawn could it? [B]Tazz:[/B] Why not? [B]Styles:[/B] Well... we’ve got our own stuff to deal with right now. Here comes the ECW Champion Umaga. Is Kane even going to be here tonight? I mean, we thought that... [B]Tazz:[/B] Wait a minute. That’s... that’s Mick Foley’s music! Mick Foley’s coming out here. [B]Styles:[/B] Well maybe our general manager has an update on Kane... [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/MickFoley.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Foley:[/B] Uh... unfortunately... tonight, I’m the bearer of bad news. Uh... as you all know, Umaga here was set to take on Kane for the ECW Championship tonight. Let me just take you all back to Tuesday night... [QUOTE][B]ECW on Sci-Fi last Tuesday[/B] Styles: And now... what are they doing? Tazz: They’re dragging Kane up the ramp. Where are they taking him? Styles: What the... oh no. No! Umaga... he’s going to... no! Tazz: Oh my God! Styles: Umaga just threw Kane off the stage! Tazz: Holly... whoa. Was that a spark? Styles: Kane went crashing into an electrical board of sorts and... oh my God! Kane... Tazz: He’s out cold and the area around him is going up in flames! We need some help out here! Styles: Kane could be in serious trouble here. We... we need some help out here! [/QUOTE] [B]Foley:[/B] Sadly Kane suffered serious burns on Tuesday night... and he has not been medically cleared to compete tonight. Infact... he’s not even left the hospital yet. So... it seems we have no-one to take on Umaga tonight. However... also on Tuesday night, we had a match between Kurt Angle and John Morrison. The winner of that match was set to face Umaga this Tuesday on Sci-Fi. So... since Kane is out of action... I figured the man who won that match on Tuesday... could take his place tonight. Umaga... you will defend that ECW Championship... against Kurt Angle! [B]Tazz:[/B] Alright! We can’t have Kane, but now we’ve got Kurt Angle. [B]Styles:[/B] Will Kurt Angle be the man to wrestle the title away from Umaga?

Umaga charges straight from the bell, but Angle uses quick feet to avoid any contact, hitting and running, before another miss from Umaga sees the champion hit the corner. Angle now starts to swing with rights and lefts to the gut. Umaga reverses Angle’s Irish whip, but again the challenger makes the champion miss, ducking a clothesline before sending Umaga over the top rope to the floor. Umaga is enraged, and Estrada tries to calm him down and get the champion focused again. Angle isn’t prepared to wait though, as he takes the fight to Umaga on the floor. Angle nails right hands, but Umaga shows a huge turn of power by driving Angle spine first into the ringpost. Angle is then sent crashing over the barricade into the crowd, as the match looks like it could spiral out of control. Angle is dragged back over the barricade an sent back into the ring, but any advantage he once had is long gone, as Umaga now takes control, sending Angle crashing to the corner. Umaga then retreats to the other side, before charging in... oh! Umaga squashes Angle in the corner, and the challenger slumps down. Angle’s head is now resting on the bottom turnbuckle, and again Umaga has him lined up... oh! Angle’s head snaps back from the force of Umaga, and the champion goes for the cover... 1... 2... no! Angle kicks out, but how much longer can he hold on for? Umaga continues to attack, slamming Angle to the mat before climbing to the top rope. Umaga steadies himself, lines Angle up... oh! A huge splash off the top rope, that’s got to be it... 1... 2... no! Angle somehow gets the shoulder up, and Umaga and Estrada are furious! Umaga starts raining down on Angle with clubbing blows to the spine, before sending him off the ropes... Samoan drop... no! Angle counters with a roll up... 1... 2... Umaga kicks out. Angle now looks to mount some offense, ducking Umaga’s clothesline... release German suplex! Umaga staggers back to his feet, and Angle comes up from behind... Angle slam! Angle slam! Could we have a new champion... 1... 2... no! Umaga somehow gets the shoulder up! Angle can’t believe it, but he moves quickly to inflict more punishment, as he climbs to the top rope... but Estrada is there too... right hand to Estrada! Angle steadies himself... moonsault off the top! Angle connects... 1... 2... again Umaga kicks out! What’s it going to take to end this? Angle again has Umaga lined up... Angle slam... no! Umaga stays on his feet... oh! And he nails Angle with a heel kick. Angle took a hard shot there, and Umaga now senses the end could be near. He drags Angle back to his feet and holds aloft his thumb... Samoan spike... no! Angle ducks, counters... [/CENTER] [B]Styles:[/B] Ankle lock! Ankle lock! He’s got it locked in! [B]Tazz:[/B] Umaga... he’s trying to fight it, he’s trying to get to the ropes... [B]Styles:[/B] Umaga is trying to reach the ropes... [B]Tazz:[/B] Angle’s got the grapevine locked in!

What did you expect? [B]JBL:[/B] I expected to still have a career! I expected to still be able to wrestle! But no... I can’t do that anymore. But what I can do... is I can make Smackdown great once again. And it starts with you and ECW. [B]Foley:[/B] Me and ECW? [B]JBL:[/B] That’s right. This Tuesday night...

We see the referee, and standing next to him is Randy Orton, awaiting the arrival of Cena. After a few moments of silence, Orton turns to referee and asks where Cena is. The referee admits he doesn’t know, leading Orton to start calling Cena out. As Orton begins looking through windows, the revs of a car are heard. Cena comes flying into the parking lot in a humvee, heading straight for Orton. Orton manages to avoid the contact, and as Cena goes crashing into another car, the fight is on. Cena bursts out and goes straight for Orton, unloading with a steel pipe. Orton takes shots to the midsection and across the back, before Orton’s face is bounced off several hoods. Orton is again sent into a hood, but this time Cena climbs up onto the car with him. After a couple of right hands, Cena looks to suplex Orton... onto the concrete! Cena gets Orton up, but Orton struggles out of it... before suplexing Cena onto the roof! Both men feel the effects of that move, and it takes a while for them to get back to their feet. When they do, Orton drives Cena spine first into a grille, before charging in... but Cena counters... flapjack on the hood! Cena then drags Orton towards the side of the car... oh! The door crashes of Orton’s face, and now Cena... is choking him with a seatbelt! Cena grips with all he has, all the while taunting Orton. Eventually Cena uses the seatbelt to slam Orton head first off the door, before hitting straight knees to the head. Cena again grabs the steel pipe, and he takes aim at Orton’s head... and misses. Orton hits a low blow out of desperation, and the legend killer tries to regroup after taking a beating for much of the early going. With Cena still down, Orton pops open the trunk, before tossing Cena into it. The sound of Cena banging away, trying to get out can be heard, but Orton simply ignores them and climbs into the front of the car. Orton turns the keys in the ignition, slams the car into reverse... and backs the car trunk first into a concrete wall! Cries of pain can be heard from inside, and when Orton opens the trunk, he drags Cena to the floor... 1... 2... Cena kicks out! Orton is now in control, and he wastes little time, sending Cena crashing into a windshield before again getting a 2 count. Orton continues to add punishment, nailing right hands... before slamming Cena head first through a window! Cena is almost immediately busted open, but Orton shows little concern. He drags Cena back to the front of the car... hiptoss on the hood! Orton again goes for a cover... 1... 2... Cena gets the shoulder up! Orton is enraged, and he turns to the shout abuse at the referee. While he does, Cena manages to make it back to his feet... Orton turns around... back body drop onto the hood! Orton screams out in pain, and now the bloody Cena looks to mount some offense. He grabs hold of Orton, hoists him up... FU on the hood... no! Orton counters... RKO across the hood! Cena goes down, but Orton... doesn’t go for the cover. He stagers his way across the lot... and into the front seat of another car. Orton turns on the ignition, revs the car up... and drives straight for Cena! Cena sees him coming... and jumps up on the hood, but Orton’s still driving! Cena holds onto the hood, but Orton continues to gain speed. Eventually Orton slams on the breaks... oh! Cena goes flying spine first into the production truck! Orton staggers out of the car to see Cena lying motionless on the ground, a pool of blood trickling from the back of his head. Orton flashes a maniacal grin across his face, and when the referee finally catches up with them, Orton rolls Cena over and slumps on top of him... 1... 2... 3.

MVP becomes frustrated and charges at Lashley... only to run into a spinebuster. Lashley begins raining down with rights and lefts, while MVP does his best to cover up. The referee finally manages to separate the two, and when MVP finally makes it back to his feet... overhead belly to belly! Lashley has the cover... 1... 2... MVP kicks out. Lashley looks to continue the punishment, driving MVP to the corner, before sending him across... Lashley charges in... oh! MVP moved and Lashley went shoulder first into the turnbuckle. MVP is quick to take advantage, locking on a facelock and driving his knees into the side of Lashley’s head. MVP then proceeds to start kicking away at Lashley’s gut eventually forcing him down to the mat. Lashley tries to prop himself up with the ring ropes, but MVP already has him lined up and charges in... but he misses with the boot! MVP hangs himself up on the top rope, and Lashley goes back on the attack, nailing right hands before a hard Irish whip sends the champion crashing off the turnbuckle. Lashley then uses powerslams and suplexes to cause damage, before going for a cover... 1... 2... MVP kicks out. Lashley again turns to his power, scooping MVP up... running powerslam... no. MVP goes down the back and uses Lashley’s momentum to push him into the turnbuckle. MVP quickly lines Lashley up, and charges in... and this time he nails the big boot in the corner. Lashley slumps to the ground, and MVP goes for the cover... 1... 2... Lashley has his foot on the rope. MVP starts raining down with right hand and hard kicks, before going back to work on the shoulder Lashley injured earlier. MVP uses an armbar to cause damage, and when Lashley fights back to his feet, the champion sends him shoulder first into the ringpost. Again MVP works the arm, but when he locks on an arm scissors, Lashley uses his strength to life MVP in the air one handed... before slamming him to the mat. Now Lashley starts to build momentum, taking MVP down with a shoulder charge before scooping him up... and nailing the running powerslam! 1... 2... MVP barely gets the shoulder up. Lashley continues to build offense, getting MVP up... pumphandle slam! Another cover... 1... 2... another kick out from MVP. The crowd are right behind the challenger, and Lashley crouches in the corner, lining MVP up, readying himself... spear... no! Avoids the contact and Lashley bounces off the ropes... drive by kick! MVP nails Lashley, hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3! MVP retains the title.

A cagey start from both men sees them circle the ring several times, until eventually Batista charges at the Game, but the champion ducks and starts swinging right hands. Triple H then hits more right hands in the corner, before Batista reverses, and now it’s the challenger who’s dropping the fists. Batista then sends Triple H across with a hard Irish whip, and the Game bounces out of the corner... big back body drop! Batista comes off the ropes... kick from Triple H... pedigree... no! Batista blocks it... and another back body drop sends the Game over the top rope to the floor. Not wanting a count out, Batista takes the fight to the outside, charging at Triple H... but the Game spinebusters him into the barricade! Batista is then driven over the barricade into the crowd, before the Game suplexes him over the barricade onto the floor. Back in the ring, the champion is in control, focusing on the back with boots, knees and elbow drops. Batista then gets driven to the corner, before the Game starts driving his shoulder into Batista’s lower back. The Animal cries out in pain as Triple H repeatedly focuses on the spine, before throwing the Animal through the ropes to the floor. Triple H backs off, and it looks like he is more than happy with a count out win. The referee starts his count, and Batista struggles to get back to his feet. The referee is at 6... 7... 8... 9... Batista makes it back in and the match continues. The Game continues his focused attack, hitting more right hands to the spine before sending Batista off the ropes... spinebuster! Triple H goes for the cover... 1... 2... Batista gets the shoulder up. Triple H now locks on an abdominal stretch, looking to apply the pressure to the Animal. Batista tries to fight it, and with the crowd urging him on, eventually he breaks the hold with a hiptoss. Batista now swings with right hands, before sending the Game off the ropes... back body drop. Triple H staggers back to his feet, but Batista is ready for him... spear! Spear! Batista hits the spear, goes for the cover...[/CENTER] [B]JR:[/B] Cover him! Cover him! [B]King:[/B] Here it is... [B]JR:[/B] 1... 2... 3! We’ve got a new champion! [B]King:[/B] No! Triple H had a foot on the ropes! [B]JR:[/B] I thought that was 3! [CENTER]Batista thought it was over, but the referee calls out to him that it was only a 2 count. Determined to finish things off, Batista drags Triple H to his feet... Batista-bomb... he has him up... but the pain in Batista’s back is too much as he collapses to the mat. Batista tries to summon up a second effort, as he again gets Triple H in for position for the Batista-bomb... but the Game counters, pushing Batista off the ropes. Batista goes for a clothesline, but the champion ducks... kick to the midsection... pedigree... no! Batista counters... slingshot into the corner! Triple H staggers out... kick to the gut... Batista-bomb! Batista-bomb... but Batista is too hurt to make the cover straight away. Eventually he crawls over... 1... 2... Triple H gets the shoulder up! Batista took too long to make the cover, and once again the Game hangs on. The was continues, as both men struggle back to their feet, Batista again had Triple H set up... Batista-bomb... he has him up... no! Triple H counters, kick to the gut... pedigree! Pedigree! The Game strikes, and he quickly makes the cover... 1... 2... 3!
