davidEFC Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I came across this on another wrestling forum I am on. It's the official raw script from the 2nd March episode and contains a few things that didn't make it on to the show. One of the segment/matches may contain a future spoiler http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h51/wg5516/WWERAWScript03022009page1.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h51/wg5516/WWERAWScript03022009page2.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h51/wg5516/WWERAWScript03022009page3.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h51/wg5516/WWERAWScript03022009page4.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h51/wg5516/WWERAWScript03022009page5.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h51/wg5516/WWERAWScript03022009page6.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h51/wg5516/WWERAWScript03022009page7.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h51/wg5516/WWERAWScript03022009page8.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h51/wg5516/WWERAWScript03022009page9.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h51/wg5516/WWERAWScript03022009page10.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h51/wg5516/WWERAWScript03022009page11.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h51/wg5516/WWERAWScript03022009page12.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 JBL/Punk? Interesting... That's pretty close to what happened, of course, barring a few changes. Fascinating to see how closely some of the promos are scripted. Jericho's was almost word for word, so was HHH/Orton. Michaels' segment seemed to be suggestive rather than presciptive... Even so, not much room for spontaneity. The side notes are fascinating - the story of the match and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQI13 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Wow, this is pretty awesome, especially the last couple of pages with the talent usage, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsmeister Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Weird how the roster section is set out similar to how obsessed with wrestling website has there roster page. Very cool though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsiddus2 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 most wrestlers promo's are scripted. personally I don't need a script. all I need are bullet points then I'm good..... that's if my heart was good enough to wrestle lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Cool read, just like that leaked TNA script from a ways back. I love learning how these things are formatted. Interesting order they put the names in on the talent page too, seems to be in order of popularity, but if this is a company thing, perhaps it's percieved "Importance" by the office. Beard strokingly interesting. Wait... Screamin' Norman Smiley is a trainer? Kick Ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsiddus2 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 you'd think they'd put the main guys's real names up on the roster sheet lol nice read though thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Why? From what I hear everyone backstage refer to people as their stage name, why would the call sheets be any different? I've never heard Michael Higginbottom being referred to as anything but "Shawn" or Mark Calloway called anything but "'Taker" Using a wrestler's real name is such a smarky concept. They're stage names, like magicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alden Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 once they step foot in the arena most wrestlers are "in gimmick". ALot of vets are not like taker and so forth but the young guys mostly stay in gimmick. They don't want to be calling each outher there real names then on camera a few seconds later have to use the "stage name" and slip up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alden Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 one thing i did not notice is dh smith is on the smackdown roster......intresting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Yeah, I noticed that as well - I thought he was under consideration for a fourth Legacy member... Although I've also heard him linked with ECW to go with TJ Wilson, so *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorBait19 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Yeah was with Wilson until he pitched an idea to join Legacy and left Wilson behind Funny because Wilson now is on ECW and DH still really hasn't done anything. plus a lot of wrestlers weren't to happy how he did that to his friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candyman Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Why? From what I hear everyone backstage refer to people as their stage name, why would the call sheets be any different? I've never heard Michael Higginbottom being referred to as anything but "Shawn" or Mark Calloway called anything but "'Taker" Using a wrestler's real name is such a smarky concept. They're stage names, like magicians. Michael Hickenbottom has been called "Shawn" his whole life anyway, but yeah. No matter what guys call each other backstage, it'd just be weird if they were listed by their real name on the roster sheet. Perhaps the biggest thing on there is that Batista's apparently expected back in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Given that Smith's father died from complications seemingly arising from steroid abuse, and that DH subsequently got caught for... using steroids, any idea that anyone might have that his brain operates on the same level as other peoples' can probably be cast aside.

AfRoMaN36 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Wait... Screamin' Norman Smiley is a trainer? Kick Ass! I know, I was a total mark for the Big Wiggle back in ECW. In fact if the E wanted, he can probably still go in the ring too these days. Make a very useful ring general, that's fer sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Hunter Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I think this is a solid argument for the return of the "Quick Roster" screen to TEW. WWE's roster page is laid out exactly like it - faces to the left, heels to the right. Sorted by card position. Filterable by brand and usage. Oh, how I miss the Quick Roster screen...

Yeah... DH is apparently a piece of **** like his dad... abandoning his partner and such... lets not forget everything Davey Boy pulled on Dynamite.

Make a very useful ring general, that's fer sure. He does, on dark matches. An event that I went to down here (day after WM last year) he fought Kozlov in a short dark match. He looks OK (no worse than he did in TNA a few years ago). I figured he lived in town so they called him up as one of those hometown bits. He got a HUGE pop still.

alden Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 an intrestling little note about part of the "script" from rajah.com -- In an interesting note, the roster sheet for this past Monday's edition of Raw (which has leaked online) featured what looks to be the pecking order for talent in World Wrestling Entertainment. All of the performers in the company were divided by brand, as well as sides (babyface and heel). It would appear that the performers were listed in order of importance/usefulness at the moment, from the company's view. For instance, Randy Orton and Chris Jericho were listed as the top heel wrestlers on Raw, with seldom-used wrestlers Sim Snuka and Dolph Ziggler listed at the bottom. Wrestlers such as Batista and Mr. Kennedy were listed below the likes of Charlie Haas and Kizarny on the list, but they're inactive, so they're not really below them on the WWE pecking order. Due to their inactivity, Batista and Kennedy are of no use to WWE for the week's set of TV tapings, which explains why they're listed at the bottom. Technically, Haas and Kizarny would be of greater use to WWE for the week's tapings than Batista and Kennedy because they're both active, unlike them. According to the roster sheet, here is the pecking order for the WWE Divas: Babyface Raw Divas: Melina, Kelly Kelly, Mickie James, Candice Michelle Heel Raw Divas: Beth Phoenix, Layla, Rosa Mendes, Jillian Hall Babyface SmackDown Divas: Maria, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Eve, Gail Kim Heel SmackDown Divas: Maryse, Michelle McCool, Natalya Babyface ECW Divas: Alicia Fox, Tiffany Heel ECW Divas: Katie Lea Burchill -- The roster sheet also features a recent transactions list. The recent releases of Manu and Scotty Goldman were noted. A "roster move" was also noted, reading "Natalya is still SmackDown." In recent weeks, Natalya has primarily appeared on ECW, seconding newcomer Tyson Kidd. The roster sheet clarified her status, so it's not a mere oversight on the part of the WWE website, who are listing her on SmackDown instead of ECW. -- Tickets for WWE's much anticipated return to the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. went on sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
