[CENTER][B][SIZE="5"][COLOR="DarkOrange"]PWM Magazine Weekly [/COLOR][COLOR="Red"]Monday Night RAW[/COLOR] WWE DRAFT RESULTS![/SIZE][/B][/CENTER] [QUOTE]We start out with clips from the Drafts of the past. It's done, then [B]BOOM BOOM BOOM![/B] Lillian Garcia is standing in the middle of the ring, then DING DING DING! [B]Kane vs. John Cena (1 Pick)[/B] Lillian: This match is scheduled for one fall, and it is the first match of the 2007 WWE Draft! John Cena's music hits, and he comes to the ring hyped up with the WWE Championship. He gets in, and goes to the top rope and raises the belt. All of a sudden, Kane's old music hits, his fire goes off and he comes out with the World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder, and his father, Paul Bearer following him. When he gets to the ring, he gives the belt to his father, and does his thing. The bell rings and the two lock up, we're hearing SmackDown! vs. RAW commentary as well, as Joey Styles is teaming up with JBL for the night. JBL: Our World Heavyweight Champion is gonna destroy the worthless punk that your champion, John Cena is. Joey: John, the last time I checked, Cena beat you for that gold at WrestleMania 21, in the same arena we are in right now! JBL: I am the longest reigning WWE Champion in SmackDown! history, watch your mouth. Joey: Yeah John, that's SmackDown!, not RAW. Kane gets the opening advantage by throwing Cena across the ring, and Cena gets back up, and Kane no-sells a Cena hit. Kane goes for a big boot and connects. Kane picks up Cena by the hair and hits a powerbomb and goes for the cover... 1....... 2....... SHOULDER UP! Joey: Close call... JBL: So far, so SmackDown! Kane kicks Cena in the head, to a scounding by referee, Jack Doan. Kane then picks Cena up by the throat, but Cena elbows Kane. Cena then climbs the top rope, and does that legdrop. Cover... 1.... KICKOUT! Joey: Only a 1 count there! JBL: Yeah Joey, SmackDown!'s gonna win, bank on it! We're at the 15 minute mark, and Kane does that flying clothesline. Cover.... 1..... 2...... SHOULDER UP! Joey: Cena just won't give here. JBL: SmackDown!, I'm tellin' ya. Kane then picks up Cena by the hair. Tombstone Piledriver! JBL: It's over... 1....... 2....... SHOULDER UP! Joey: No, Cena got a shoulder up! Oh my God! Kane gets frusterated and picks Cena up by the throat, and looks at him in the air, saying, "Not much of a champion now, huh John?", then dropping him with a thunderous Chokeslam. Cover... 1...... 2........ 3! [B]Lillian: Here is your winner, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Kane![/B] Kane grabs his belt, and looks at the TitanTron. [B]Lillian: SmackDown get's the first draft pick![/B] The guitar riff plays and it goes through numerous faces on the RAW roster, it goes through the bodys and then it finally stops. The screen says... [B]JOHN CENA IS GOING TO SMACKDOWN![/B] Joey: OH MY GOD!!!! JOHN CENA! THAT'S OUR WWE CHAMPION!!! JBL laughs hard. Ted DiBiase is shown going bizzerk in his office. Cena looks up and sees himself on the screen and hits the mat. Kane looks shocked. Joey: NO!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! We then see Bob Sapp face off with Brock Lesnar. Sapp: Yo, Brock, I wanna face you in the ring next for a draft pick, battle of the #1 Contender's! Brock: Fine...frickin' last minute, but fine. King (now at the desk for RAW): We'll see that match next I guess. [B]*Commercial Break* Bob Sapp vs. Brock Lesnar for a draft pick (SIMMED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT SANCTIONED[/B] They had an awesome match, lot of fist fighting. In about 18 minutes, it got out of control, and they both got counted out. Lillian: [B]This match has been ruled a no contest, there for, both RAW and SmackDown! get draft picks. SmackDown! is first![/B] Brock and Bob stop fighting, and look up at the TitanTron where the guitar riff is plated, RAW superstars faces are shown, then bodys, then it finally stops saying... [B]SHAWN MICHAELS IS GOING TO SMACKDOWN![/B] Cole: YES! HBK! King: God damn it, two future Hall of Famers lost for RAW... Ted DiBiase is shown throwing things in his office. The guitar riff is once again played, SmackDown! superstar's faces, then bodys, then it stops, and says... [B]THEODORE LONG IS GOING TO RAW![/B] Cole: WHAT?!?!?! That's our General Manager!!! King: You take two of our best superstars, we take your GM! Beat that! Cole: Edge vs. Shawn Michaels is next...I guess SmackDown! gets a win-win in this match! King: Damn it! [B]Edge vs. Shawn Michaels for a draft pick (Simmed)[/B] All out war, but Edge connects with a Spear at around 18 min. for the W. Lillian: [B]Here is your winner, EDGE! SmackDown! gets a draft pick, even though both were apart of SmackDown![/B] RAW Superstar's faces appear on the screen following the guitar riff. It then shows the bodys, and then it stops and says... [B]CARLITO IS GOING TO SMACKDOWN![/B] Joey: Meh...not a bad loss, but it is a loss. JBL: Uh...can we trade him back? We go backstage where Kristal approachs Mickie James. Kristal demands their match for a draft pick be for the WWE Women's Championship, which Mickie grants, even though it is a RAW belt, for now. [B]Mickie James (c) vs. Kristal for the WWE Women's Championship and a Draft Pick (Simmed)[/B] Mickie totally dominates Kristal, showing her why RAW is the A Brand. Mickie finishes her off with a Mick Kick, lights out. Pin at about 8 minutes. Lillian: [B]Here is your winner and STILL the WWE Women's Champion, MICKIE JAMES! RAW wins a draft pick![/B] The draft process hits, riff, faces, bodys. It finally stops and says... [B]EDGE IS GOING TO RAW![/B] Joey: Oh my God! JBL: ARGH!!! Edge is going crazy in his locker room! Joey: The Hardy Boyz vs. Blue Blood is next! [B]Hardy Boyz vs. Blue Blood for 2 Draft Picks! (SIMMED!)[/B] It was a great match for a tag team match, Matt pinned Dave Taylor with a Twist of Fate at 12:48 to give RAW two picks! Lillian: [B]Here our your winners, the WWE World Tag Team Champions, The Hardy Boyz! RAW wins 2 Draft Picks![/B] The process goes, then it finally stops and says... [B]WILLIAM REGAL IS GOING TO RAW![/B] Regal looks up the screen and throws a fit. JBL: What's going to happen to out Tag Gold? The process goes and again, it stops and says... [B]BOB SAPP IS GOING TO RAW![/B] JBL: Our #1 Contender? Jeez! Joey: Paul London vs. Test is next! [B]Paul London vs. Test for a Draft Pick (SIMMED)[/B] Test vs. London did very well, but Test got himself DQ'd by whacking London with a chair. Lillian: [B]Here is your winner, the WWE United States Champion, Paul London! SmackDown! wins a draft pick![/B] The process, stops and says... [B]UMAGA IS GOING TO SMACKDOWN![/B] Joey: The Samoan Bulldozer...eh...you can have him. JBL: A monster is coming to SmackDown!, and the 10-Man Over-The-Top Battle Royal is next!

[CENTER][SIZE="5"][COLOR="Red"]WRESTLINGRUMORS.COM[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]Friday Night SmackDown! Taping Results[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER] We start out the show as John Cena comes out and hypes up the crowd, saying that he is proud to be back on the "Blue Brand" and that he will bring back the WWE Championship to SmackDown! after Backlash. He is interrupted by Kane and his father, Paul Bearer. Kane says that after Backlash, his next target will be Cena, and says he will destroy him, like he will destroy Bob Sapp at Backlash to boos from the crowd. Cena says prove it, and gets laid out with a Chokeslam from Hell, to major heat. We had our opening bout, where [B]Domino beat Deuce[/B] in a hard-fought bout. After the match you could read Domino's lips as he said, "Good-Bye Buddy...", Domino offered Deuce a handshake, and Deuce puts his hand down to little heat, but then they hug. Deuce then starts to walk away as Domino clotheslines Deuce, and stomps him out. Domino hits his finisher on Deuce and grabs a mic and says, "Sorry "partner" but, YOU'RE FIRED!!!". Deuce is now on the unemployment line because Vince said himself, these matches are non-kayfabe. Our next match was of the same caliber, as people think Finlay's career is running out, he put up the fight of his life at the tapings. [B]But at around 18 minutes, MVP pinned Finlay with a Playmaker.[/B] After the match, MVP put his hands around his waist, signalling he wants a championship, grabbed a mic and said Finlay has been FIREDDD!. After the match, Mr. McMahon's music hit and he came out to the ring. [B]He said, since Theodore Long has been drafted to RAW, he has handpicked a replacement, actually he said he picked two replacements! As the two will battle it out at Backlash,[/B] not really. [B]They will pick two representives from the SmackDown! brand to represent them as they battle it out for the General Manager position.[/B] He announced who they were, the first participant made his return to the WWE Universe...as the [B]"Only Hardvard Graduate In WWE History" Christopher Nowinski[/B] (to heat) will be one of the participants. Vince smirked and said, "Last but not least, making his return to the WWE Universe as well...", [B]"The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart's[/B] music hits to a standing ovation. The two face off for a second, as we go to the next match. In the Farewell match, [B]Edge beat William Regal[/B]. Mr. McMahon was at ringside for the whole match and said that the WWE Tag Team Championship held by William Regal and Dave Taylor will be declared vacant, and that we will hold a WWE Tag Team Championship Tournament, starting at Backlash! In the 5-Man Elimination Match to detirmine the #1 Contender for the United States Champion was a good one, as Umaga literally destroyed everyone. He pinned almost everyone. [B]But there was still one man, and he hit the POOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUNCEEEEEEEEEEEE! Marcus Cor Von pinned Umaga to face the winner out of Paul London and Brian Kendrick at Backlash![/B] Speaking of that match, according to our fans, Paul London and Brian Kendrick topped themselves in the Ladder Match. [B]But only one man stood tall on top of the ladder, his name is Paul London.[/B] Although London has a match, will Kendrick & London be apart of the WWE Tag Team Title Tournament? In the first of the Pick Your Poison Matches, [B]John Cena beat Randy Orton by DQ when Brock Lesnar interfered and gave Cena a F-5![/B] Cena retains the WWE Championship, and Mr. McMahon made Randy Orton face Shawn Michaels at Backlash if HBK doesn't beat Kane! In the last, [B]Shawn Michaels beat Kane![/B] I bet you guys were all "OH MY GOD! THAT CHANGED BACKLASH!", well, it didn't. HBK beat Kane....by DQ....Kane wouldn't stop striking Shawn, the ref declared it a DQ. Kane gave the ref a Chokeslam, then HBK...and then HBK again....and again! Okay.....three Chokeslams to HBK! Bob Sapp comes out and gives Kane a Beast Bomb and raises the belt to end the show. [CENTER]SmackDown! Taping Results: Domino def. Deuce (Deuce Fired) MVP def.

[CENTER][SIZE="5"][B][COLOR="DarkOrange"]PWM Magazine Weekly[/COLOR][/SIZE] By John Ryan BREAKING NEWS: WWE VS. TNA OFFICIALLY BEGINS![/B][/CENTER] Alert bells are ringing at the Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling Headquarters today, as World Wrestling Entertainment has officially declared war on TNA. TNA seems killed, as WWE has stepped it up. More action, less talking is WWE's new motto it seems like. So TNA has its hands full to try and compete with the WWE. On more WWE-related news, they have started a working agreement with NJPW, WWE seemingly wants to send some of their wrestlers to Japan to shine, and NJPW will do the same. Expect to see some of NJPW's finest in apart of a Talent Trade with WWE's finest. Imagine current WWE Champion, John Cena and World Heavyweight Champion, Kane possibly competing in Japan as apart of a talent trade! WWE-NJPW BUISNESS UPDATE: Reports indicate that Bobby Lashley has been talent traded to NJPW for three shows for Shinsuke Nakamura, and Chris Benoit has been talent traded for three shows for Jushin "Thunder" Lyger!

[B]NOTES:[/B] RVD's first win under the RAW brand just happened. [B]Burke's RAW debut is thumbs down, hopefully he'll rebound, because in my eyes, he's a future Intercontinental Champion.[/B] I'll say he'll win his first belt in early '08. Ryan's Rating: 7/10 MATCH 7: Kevin Nash def. Eugene in 0:48 with a Big Boot. [B]NOTES:[/B] [B]My guesses are the following: after a 48 second defeat to Big Sexy, Eugene's gimmick is getting axed, Eugene will be the next to be released, or this is to enhance Nash's character.[/B] Eric Bischoff got on the mic, told off Eugene, and then said that Nash and DDP are just getting started, and Eric demanded Ted DiBiase to give Nash a #1 Contender Match next week on RAW. Mr. DiBiase said that Nash was granted, but he will face an opponent of the champion's choice. Ryan's Rating: 7.5/10 MATCH 8: Brock Lesnar def. Bobby Lashley @ 17:43 with a F-5. [B]NOTES:[/B] [B]Lesnar vs. Lashley rematch may happen at Judgment Day, I can see it. But, I suppose both men have other plans.[/B] Ryan's Rating: 8.5/10 ANGLE: Great Khali jumps Goldberg backstage, and leaves him battered and bloody.

[CENTER][B][SIZE="5"][COLOR="DarkOrange"]PWM Magazine Weekly[/COLOR] by John Ryan[/SIZE] ROH Partnership With WWE? TNA iMPACT! Results![/B][/CENTER] Yup, you read the title right. Ring of Honor marks, this is a dark day....not! You should see the big name WWE stars that have been talent traded to ROH! Plus, after seeing Shinsuke Nakamura & Jushin "Thunder" Liger win the WWE World Tag Team Championship from the Hardy Boyz, ROH wrestlers might add a few WWE accomplishments to their resumes! Apparently, the deal was offered to ROH by the WWE before Monday Night RAW. After RAW, ROH contacted the WWE's head booker and Mr. Vince McMahon and accepted the working agreement. WWE started off by having the head booker start talent trading here is the following trades that were made: Trade 1: CM Punk to ROH for 3-Bryan Danielson to WWE! CM Punk is a former ROH World Champion, and returning to ROH for three appearances should be good news for ROH fans. Bryan Danielson to the WWE however, will be good for the SmackDown! brand, I can see him holding the WWE United States Championship in his three appearances with the 'E. Trade 2: Jeff Hardy to ROH for 3-Nigel McGuiness to WWE! Jeff Hardy did only one match for ROH, and it was poor. But, it was in 2003 when Jeff was released from WWE. I bet Jeff will do well in ROH, and possibly will have a title match. Nigel, however, I see as WWE Intercontinental Champion! Now the big daddy "THANK YOU!" for ROH!: Trade 3: Roderick Strong to WWE for 3............."THE HEARTBREAK KID" SHAWN MICHAELS TO ROH!!!!!!!!! ROH better kiss the head booker and Vince's feet for this! Shawn Michaels....whoa...I can NEVER imagine HBK in ROH because of his WWE thing...but WHOA! 3 apperances in ROH...HBK to ROH! Now for TNA iMPACT! Results: Senshi def. Martyr (probably because Martyr is going to FCW) Tomko def. Shark Boy (Shark Boy to FCW) Alex Shelley def. Brother Runt to retain the TNA X Division Championship. Kurt Angle def. Sting to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. EH! WWE and ROH equals AMAZING!

[B]IN OTHER TV SHOW NEWS...:[/B]TNA iMPACT lost their contract with RDS, and WWE has considered either moving SmackDown! back to Thursday Nights, or create a new television show. Rumors say that it'll be called either WWE Show No Respect or WWE Ulitmate Attitude. They have also said that they might broadcast it Thursday Nights on these four companies (in possibility chances): 4. FOX (it'd probably screw up WWE's deals with NBC's affiliates, which RAW is airing on, it's USA Network) 3. ESPN (reasonable, but ESPN's hate with WWE might be a factor) 2. TNT (I could see it, just because WWE bought WCW) 1. NBC (screw Saturday Night's, this is the most possible channel that will beat iMPACT! every week on Thursday Nights!) I could see WWE airing on all 4 of the channels, but with Sci-Fi's end with WWE might drop NBC's chances a bit.

[CENTER][SIZE="5"][B][COLOR="Red"]QUICK RAW RESULTS:[/COLOR][/SIZE] by John Ryan (from PWM Magazine)[/B][/CENTER] MATCH 1: "Valilicious" Val Venis def. Matt Hardy @ 12:32 with a Money Shot. [B]NOTES:[/B] Val Venis came out and showed who's boss. [B]Quite possibly he's best match since switching back to Venis in '03.[/B] Ryan's Rating: 7/10 MATCH 2: Jeff Hardy def. Santino Marella @ 12:51 with a Swanton Bomb. NOTES: [B]Jeff Hardy squashes Marella in Hardy's first squash match, where's he's the squasher![/B] Ryan's Rating: 6/10 MATCH 3: Eric Bischoff def. Michael Cole @ 2:42 with a High Spin Kick. NOTES: Eric Bischoff destroys Cole. Cole takes a lot of punishment.

Michelle McCool @ 12:49 with a Mick Kick. Mickie James makes defense #5 of her Women's Title reign. NOTES: [B]Mickie James=Best Diva Alive Today[/B], nuff said. Ryan's Rating: 6/10 MATCH 5: Nakamura & Lyger def. Cryme Tyme. Their 1st defense of the Tag Titles. NOTES: [B]Shocker of the night![/B] I seriously thought Nakamura & Lyger were going to lose because Shinsuke Namaura is a jobber in the WWE, and he made the pin! Ryan's Rating: 6.5/10 MATCH 6: RVD & Dreamer def. Elijah Burke & Test @ 16:46 with a Five Star Frog Splash on Test. NOTES: [B]RVD got laid out by Mick Foley after the match[/B]. RVD turns face, it got a bad reaction. Foley turns heel. Ryan's Rating: 7/10 MATCH 7: Goldberg def. Bob Sapp by DQ. NOTES: Alright. [B]Khali vs. Goldberg has been set up for Judgement Day.[/B] Khali once again costs Goldberg the title. Match was completly bland. Ryan's Rating: 6/10 MATCH 8: Kevin Nash def. DDP @ 12:31 with a Big Boot. NOTES: Earlier in the night, Nash ordered DDP to lay down for him. DDP said he'd think about it, nadas, and got beat anyways. Pfft.
