ScottMulhern Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 <p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">August 29th 2009</span></p><p> </p><p> It had been a tough week building up to Summerslam, WWE had been on an extensive promotion push for the event. Mr. McMahon was exhausted as he drove his rental car along the busy streets of Los Angeles heading for LAX.</p><p> </p><p> "Damn air conditioning!" He shouted, banging his fist hard against the dashboard.</p><p> </p><p> The heat was making Vince feel drowsy, he angrily wound down his window the cool air immediately hitting him revitalising him instantly.</p><p> </p><p> He'd thought the show was a success. Months of build towards the culmination of the drawn out Orton vs McMahon Family feud had, in his mind been a complete success. HHH had made his return at Great American Bash destroying Legacy (Orton, DiBiase, Rhodes and Joe Hennig), single-handed, during Orton's WWE Title defence against MVP causing the match to end with a DQ victory for Orton. Hunter had destroyed Porter on RAW the night after and then in the following weeks took out each member of Legacy, bar Orton, in the weeks leading up to Summerslam. The match itself had been overbooked, and included run-ins from Legacy, a returning Shane and Stephanie, Batista and Vince himself who'd exacted his revenge, eight months in the making, by delivering the punt to the head that left Orton prone to the Pedigree.</p><p> </p><p> In reality the bout left the crowd disappointed. In fact the whole angle had bored them to tears. Randy Orton had been white hot since his return from injury in late 2008 and had remained so until HHH had become involved in the story of Orton's vicious attacks on members of the McMahon family. Their Wrestlemania main event was one of the most underwhelming matches in recent memory at the "Showcase of the Immortals" and the tale had got staler and staler since then. The whole feud had no one's benefit but HHH and the McMahons, Legacy ended up looking like fools at almost every turn, Orton's heat had more or less evaporated, and even MVP's seemingly best chance to hang with the champ and finally cement his place in the upper echelons of the RAW roster, had amounted to nothing but burial at the hands of the now fourteen time World Champion, Triple H.</p><p> </p><p> It probably didn't help that the shows other main event, a ladder match between World Heavyweight Champion Edge and CM Punk, had been almost a legitimate five star encounter. Punk won, much to the fans jubilation, possibly draining them of all enthusiasm towards the ongoing saga of "Hunter The Barbarian".</p><p> </p><p> That's what Vince blamed the heatless crowd in the main event on anyway.</p><p> </p><p> He had been considering giving Mike Knox a title run after an undefeated streak on the blue brand. He was much more his kind of worker; big, strong and monstrous, and after his win against Jeff Hardy earlier in the night Vince felt that the time was right. He started to plan how he was going to get the title off internet darling Punk, Vince hated the internet fans, they illegally stream his shows, criticise every aspect of his work and in generally they're too clever for their own good. "I'll teach them" he uttered to himself just before drifting off to sleep.</p><p> </p><p> -----------------------------------------------------------------</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS:You have a fan here! now this is hilarious! Not sure if that is a typo from Mattitude, but if it isn't, exactly what grounds does he have to suggest the author won't stick with this diary. It's his first diary, so he hasn't got a past of starting diary after diary and not getting past 2 shows (similar to someone who I won't name but is ironically the one making the suggestion). There is absolutely nothing to suggest he won't stick with it. So I'm hoping it is a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottMulhern Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Thanks for the comments so far. It's early days yet but I got some good ideas for this diary that are being worked on, and I don't intend on giving it up just yet. mistaken - Thanks for the advice about the text, I was kind of conscious of it whilst writing, but it's something I'll try to curb. I will be trying to use some images as well though, thanks for the tip. jw_forever - Unfortunately, you snooze you lose I'm afraid. It's kind of an obvious storyline to go with I think, I apologise if I'm stealing someone elses idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottMulhern Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 The Board Meeting (Part One) August 30th, 14:31 <a href="http://s571.photobucket.com/albums/ss154/ScottMulhern/?action=view¤t=wwecopy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss154/ScottMulhern/wwecopy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Shane was an hour and a half late for the meeting, he didn't want to leave his mum alone until her sister had arrived from North Carolina. He straightened himself up in the elevator on the way to the boardrooms on the eleventh floor. As the doors popped open he was greeted with the sight of a distraught Stephanie crying, alone, in the plush reception area. He approached his sister who flung herself into him, she immediately let out a whimper and broke down in his arms. Shane: Hey. Stephanie: ...but Dad... Shane: I know... I know... They stood for a moment as Shane held his sister in complete silence. After a moment Director of World Wrestling Entertainment, David Kenin, step into the room. David Kenin: Ah, Mr. McMahon, so glad you could make it. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Shane: Thanks David, sorry I'm late...I...Well you know? David Kenin: That's no problem at all, I completely understand. Now you will be pleased to hear that I have just received a call from Mr. Laurinaitis and he will be with us shortly. Could I get you a drink Mr. McMahon? Shane: I'll have a whisky on the rocks please David. David Kenin: Excellent, and you Mrs. McMahon-Levesque? Stephanie: No... Thanks. David Kenin: Okay, I will see you shortly. David leaves the room leave Shane and Stephanie alone. Shane: So how're you bearing up? Stephanie: I still can't believe it... I mean... I used to joke with Paul that he would never die. It just seems like a dream. Shane: Yeah, I know. How are the girls? Stephanie: Oh, they're fine. They are too young to understand what's happened. Paul's at home with them now, I just want this out of the way so I can get home to them. Suddenly, the elevator doors opened revealing a rather dishevelled John Laurinaitis. Laurinaitis: I'm so sorry you guys. He greeted both of them with a handshake, and put his arm gently on Stephanies shoulder. Laurinaitis: I just got in from LA. Had to clear some things up there before I left. Have you been in yet? He nodded towards the open board room door. Stephanie: No, they wanted to wait for you before getting started, they say that this greatly concerns you too... She said, a slight annoyance at John's lateness was noted, but she quickly tried to retract those sentiments. Stephanie: ...but, you're here now. The receptionist walked over with a tray bearing Shane's whiskey. He took the drink and as he lifted it to his mouth he was reminded of his father. Shane had been introduced to whiskey by him as a young man, they'd spent many a drunken night on the town together, Shane felt his throat shrink at the thought that he'd never see those times again. Receptionist: Mr. Kenin is ready for you to go through now. Shane took Stephanie by the hand as they headed through into the board room... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottMulhern Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Thanks Thanks for the positive comments so far eveyone. I'm sorry if it's been a little slow moving so far, I've been trying to iron out some cracks behind the scenes. Above is one more little taster for you before we really get moving. The final part of the backstory, The Board Meeting, will be posted tomorrow and I'll be looking to start the diary part straight away coz I'm itching to get this thing started. Oh yeah, and Mattitude, don't worry about anything, I'm not offended at all. I hope you enjoy the diary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottMulhern Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 The Board Meeting (Part Two) Stephanie, Shane and John Laurinaitis enter the room and take seats at the massive table opposite board members David Kenin, Joseph Perkins and Kevin Dunn. Joseph Perkins: Okay. Thanks for coming today. On behalf of the board I would like to start by saying sorry for your loss, Mr. McMahon was great man. Shane McMahon: Thank you Joseph. If you don't mind I would like to get straight to the point me and Stephanie are anxious to get home. Joseph Perkins: Of course Mr. McMahon, I understand. Perkins picks some papers up from the desk in front of him, shuffling them uncomfortably. David Kenin: Obviously we have called you here today to discuss how we move forward from these tragic events, as you know business has been down for a while now... Kenin spoke the truth, ratings have been falling for all of WWE programming for a while now. At first it'd had been assumed this was because of the financial meltdown of the last few years, however rating at TNA and ROH had at worse remained the same with minor increases suggesting that it was something wrong with the WWE's own product that was causing the rot. David Kenin: ...the financial crisis has hit us hard. Our competitors, who we don't regard as a threat to our popularity, are blossoming whilst we seem to have really hit the skids of late. People are not purchasing our PPVs, or buying merchandise, whilst TV ratings have been decreasing since Wrestlemania. The tragedy that has befallen us may be exactly what we need to rejuvinate, not only our own product, but the industry in general. Stephanie McMahon-Levesque: I'm sorry David, how can the death of my father benefit this company? He created this industry, it took this business from a regional pass time to a totally global phenomenon. How could his passing be of any benefit? Stephanie was agitated, she took David's words as a slur on her father's name. Shane sensed her annoyance. Shane McMahon: So what do you propose David? How is THIS going to rejuvenate the company? He spoke with a sarcastic tone. David Kenin: Well, here's what we propose. Mr. McMahon and myself had discussed how he wished for the company to be taken forward upon his retirement on a number of occasions, the three of you are the companies biggest share holders. Mr. McMahon believed that each one of you would be perfect to take the reigns once he'd hung up his boots. He turns to John Laurinaitis. David Kenin: Mr. Laurinaitis he was a great fan of your booking style, you have been of great service to this company for a number of years. Stephanie, he believed that you had the creative ability to push this company forward for years to come, whilst he believed that Shane you possess the market ability and know how to really push this industry into the mainstream again. Kevin Dunn: However on saying that, Mr. McMahon couldn't decide between the three of you on who he wished to take over. So our proposal to you is that each of you take full control of one of our already established brands and run it as a separate entity from the other two brands. You will sign your own contracts, run your own PPVs, TV shows and house shows, hire your own staff and be ultimately responsible for the performance of that brand. Joseph Perkins: We know you are all busy people, and the running of a company the size of the WWE is a large undertaking, so we figured that the splitting of the brands would equal less work for each of you, whilst this would also introduce a sense of competition that we are quite frankly not getting from the companies that are already out there, you'd be competing with each other. This, we believe, will stop the stagnation that we feel in currently infecting the company. John Laurinaitis nodded his head, he seemed to like the idea. Shane and Stephanie sat looking stunned, Stephanie in particular seemed especially uncomfortable. Stephanie McMahon-Levesque: I'm not sure how my dad would have felt about this. Kevin Dunn: With the greatest possible respect Mrs. McMahon-Levesque, your father is no longer with us. We feel that this is the best solution available to push the company forward given the recent sad news. As the three majority shareholders you are each entitled to a share of the company, and the board feels that each of you possess the qualities to run it, so we feel that this is the best way to go. Joseph Perkins: Stephanie we would like you to take control of the RAW brand, John you take ECW and Shane you get Smackdown. Shane turns to Stephanie and John, he nods at them seemingly in agreement with the boards suggestions, the nod is reciprocated by John, but Stephanie still seems somewhat wary of the whole issue. Kevin Dunn: Ah, good. I see that we are in agreement, As you know, programming has been canceled for the following week, so we have until next Monday to arrange the draft. Stephanie we would like for you to take the RAW brand starting then. Stephanie nods her head in anxious agreement. Kevin Dunn: And Mr. Laurinaitis, ECW? John shakes his head enthusiastically. Kevin Dunn: And Mr. McMahon, you get Smackdown. Shane McMahon: To hell with Smackdown... He exclaims, Shane McMahon: I'm bringing back WCW!

ScottMulhern Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Diary Okay, so there's the final bit of backstory for you. This diary was originally supposed to be a three person thing, with one person taking each brand. Showing the Wars from all three (WWE affiliated) perspectives. Unfortunately, two people showed interest in joining, only to let me down. A third man, Stennick, has offered his assistance so it will be a two man thing now, with comprehensive regular updates on the third brand, as compensation for having nobody in charge. Saying that if anyone wants to join as the third brand, let me know. We'll be doing the draft tomorrow (it's difficult as I'm in the UK whilst Stennick is is the US), and we'll have some shows up soon. Each brand gets 12 PPVs for the year (WWE retain theirs, except for GAB which will return to WCW along with their old PPV names, whilst ECW resurrect their old names). Each brand will start with the same popularity, image, money etc, although their product may be altered slightly. This way we can easily gauge how well they are doing. Thanks for reading so far eveyone, and thanks to those that have left comments and advice. I hope you enjoy The New War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottMulhern Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Shane was impressed with what Stephanie had done on her first show in charge of the WWE. He was baffled by the Santino Marella and Big Show vs. Sim Snika, Matt Hardy and Hacksaw Jim Duggan match, but the fans seemed to lap it up. He switched his TV off and sat for a moment contemplating his next move. It had been an extremely long day, and he was exhausted. He'd been up since the crack of dawn for a creative meeting with Arn Anderson and Dean Malenko. Arn and Dean advised him that they'd probably need around 20 or so new wrestlers due to the relatively small roster, they'd also noted that they should probably get contracts out sooner rather than later as Stephanie and Johnny Ace (Laurinatis) would be thinking exactly the same thing. They spent the rest of the day making calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottMulhern Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Ooc Okay, I have decided to go it alone on this diary now. I'll be trying to provide as much detail on WWE and ECW as well as ROH and TNA as I can. ECW will now be on Wednesdays, just to space the week out a bit. I have arranged each of the ECW, WCW and WWE PPVs so that that don't fall on the same weekends for now. I have conveniently placed WCW's first PPV, Fall Brawl, on the forth week of September, giving me a chance to build up some stories (and to sign some more workers). Unfortunately this might mess up WWE and ECW but the AI books at random anyway, so I'm sure they won't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
