Genadi Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Friday, 12 April 2002 Sitting at the airport waiting to board the plane at the moment. Off to San Diego for this weeks show, the first RAW since the brand splt. Dad voiced his concern that Taker is on Nitro, he's close with him and he was considered a lockeroom leader. I still think Dad has the better roster on RAW for talent but Eric has convinced me to make some big signings for his show. Eric is a convinving dude, he has a charismatic smugness that I don't mind. He gets the job done that's all that's important. Some notes from this week.... I called up Jami Noble to Nitro, he was getting rid of some ring rust in HWA. Signed CM Punk, a young indy wrestler from Chicago. From what I've seen and heard about this guy he's one to watch for the future. Hopefuly he can learn alot in OVW. Ratings: RAW on Spike 4.72 RAW on TSN 1.82 RAW on Sky Sports 1.49 Nitro on UPN 3.58 Nitro on Sky Sports 1.19 Nitro on The Score 1.11 RAW on all networks were down slightly this week, Nitro on the otherhand was up around the same amount over all channels. This won't please Dad. Matches planned for RAW Monday night are... Chris Jericho vs Kurt Angle vs Steve Austin vs The Rock #1 Contenders Match World Title Christian vs Kane #1 Contenders Match IC Title D'Lo Brown vs Ken Shamrock Albert vs Brock Lesnar Chris Candido vs Funaki RVD© vs Tommy Dreamer - IC Title Ron Killings vs K-1 And for Nitro..... Hogan vs Scott Hall #Round 1 WCW World Title Tournament ***Rest TBA*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Countdown Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Signed CM Punk, a young indy wrestler from Chicago. From what I've seen and heard about this guy he's one to watch for the future. Hopefuly he can learn alot in OVW. I hope you sign Colt Cabana to go along with him. The SCS could be a great addition to your tag division. I like having Nitro instead of Smackdown. I think it creates a bigger distinction between the two shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR puts over the fact Smackdown! is now called Nitro and the fact that Bischoff has resurrected the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Lawler questions the future of the WWF World Heavyweight Title, he's interupted by Chris Jericho's theme music. Y2J goes on a rant about being cheated out of his rematch with HHH. He demands another match citing the fact the rematch they had two weeks ago on RAW ended in a Double DQ. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/Costnaza9/SteveAustin-1.jpg Stone Cold Steve Austin's music interupts Jericho just as he's starting to go nuts. Austin tells Jericho to stop wining and get a haircut, he gives him the number of a good barber he knows. Austin tells Jericho if he wants anither title shot he'll have to get in line. Angle's music now hits and he joins the two in the ring. Angle tells Jericho he should break his ankle right now for costing him his match with The Rock last week on Smackdown! Jericho tells them both they need to stay out of his business and let him have the title shot he's owed. Jericho complains that the two are jealous of his fame and keep meddling in his affairs along with that other wannabe "Rock Jock"... http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/Costnaza9/TheRock-1.jpg The Rock's music hits and the three way cross promo now becomes four. Rock reminds them all who defeated the legendary Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania X8, he asserts he should be next in line for a shot at HHH and the title. The four start to get out of control and talk over the top of one another... http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/Costnaza9/VinceMcMahon-1.jpg Vince's music hits and he struts to the ring looking angry. McMahon growls, asking them if they think he isn't in charge anymore. Reminds them he is and tells them all to shut up and listen. He stresses that Eric is starting a war with the WWF and resurrected the WCW World Title is just the start of it. He shows his anger over the fact Bischoff drafted The Undertaker and claims he was trying to come to an agreement to trade him to RAW all week but Eric wouldn't even return his phone calls. Vince announces if it's a war Eric wants it's a war he'll get. He asks Austin, Kurt, Jericho and The Rock to respect eachother and remember they're WWF guys. In an attempt to appease all four men, Vince announces a Four Way Match for tonight to determine the #1 Contender for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. He adds the match will take place this Sunday, April 21 on PPV at WWF Backlash and that he won't tolerate any interference like the past few weeks have seen. He orders for the match to take place in a Steel Cage to ensure this, the only way to victory though will be "Via Pinfall or Submission". Vince reminds the men to focus all their energy on the real enemy, Eric Bischoff and Nitro. McMahon then shouts at them to start preparing for tonights main event.

Big Show bursts into the room and turns over Vince's desk, he asks why he was left out of tonight's main event. Vince responds by telling the giant he has bigger better plans for him. McMahon thinking on his feet, tells Big Show he will get his own #1 Contender's match but not in a "silly 4 way match". Vince informs Big Show he will get his #1 Contenders match on PPV like a real superstar, this coming Sunday at Backlash! McMahon asks him who he'd like to face and Big Show replies with a smirk..."I've got someone in mind". Show looks pleased with Vince and pats him on the back. He appologises for the mess before walking out, as he closes the door a few pictures fall from the walls and shatter.

They let Heyman know either one of them are willing to fight Lesnar at Backlash this Sunday and to take his pick. After a moment of consideration Heyman offers them both a match, one right after the other. Heyman mentions he would ask for a 2vs1 match but he doesn't want to humiliate Matt and Jeff. He tells them either one can fight first but as soon as "Lesnar is finished destroying one of you, the other can't run away". Heyman lets out an evil laugh and tells Jeff and Matt to bring their doctors to Backlash this Sunday.

Christian is tripped before he can make the pin, Goldust is out from under the ring and trips him from the outside. Christian turns around and goes for Goldust but Kane has sat up.

Angle is the first to gain an advantage delivering an Olympic Slam to Jericho. He goes for the quick cover but Austin breaks it up and nails Kurt with a Stunner. Rock goes for a Rock Bottom on Austin but he reverses, Jericho is back up and connects with a Lionsault on Angle who's still out from The Stunner. Jericho goes to the top rope now and prepares for a moonsault on Angle, Rock irish whips Austin to Jericho's corner though. Y2J goes crashing to the outside bouncing off the guard rail and to the floor. Rock and Austin now left alone go back and forth, Rock with another Rock Bottom... but it's reversed, Austin with a Stunner... but Rock counters now. Both men take a step back and assess eachother showing great respect and garnering a roar from the crowd. Just as they look to go at it again Angle staggers to his feet. Austin and Rock pause to look at eachother then look back at Angle. Austin delivers another Stunner on Angle sending him bouncing off the ropes this time... he bounces back into The Rock for a Rock Bottom! Angle rolls out of the ring reeling, Earl Hebner follows to check on him. Big Show is running out... Austin and The Rock are oblivious though and look to go one on one once again. Just as they begin exchanging punches Show is in the ring and charges. Big Show picks up The Rock and throws him to the outside. Jericho is back up now and sees what's taking place in the ring. Y2J hobbles to Kurt Angle being tended to by Hebner and keeps the referee distracted as Big Show goes to work on Stone Cold. Show hits Austin with an Alley-Oop and a second rope leg drop to the neck. The big man steps over the ropes and leaves the carnage in his wake looking like he's made his point. Jericho times his recovery with Show's exit and drags Hebner back into the ring with him. Jericho makes the cover on Austin, 1,2.... Stone Cold kicks out and JR sells it like China just dropped the next A Bomb! Jericho is in disbelief, he grabs Austin and locks in the Walls of Jericho.

Genadi Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Monday 15 April, 2002 RAW was a great show tonight, I might give Ron Killings a new name before his TV debut. I'll have to bounce it off creative. Chris Candido's debut didn't go too bad considering he's not popular at all right now. Paul Heyman is doing wonders for Brock Lesnar, he's really helping his monster gimmick get over. Their great chemistry together is really showing. Their was an incident tonight involving Christian and Stone Cold, alot of people have told me Austin's been in a strange mood lately and not the happiest person to be around. I know there's tension between him and Dad because of the nWo being brought in but I put those guys on another show so they wouldn't be a problem. He didn't seemed to pleased when I told him he wasn't facing HHH at Backlash but I assured him he's in my title plans. Anyways back to the incident with Christian, it was nothing really. Enough that I'm sure Meltzer and the rest will run it as headline newz though. I wasn't there but Hennig told me Austin was ribbing on Christian about his current feud with Goldust. Stone Cold somehow got ahold of the rubber chicken Goldust had as a prop tonight and was taunting him. Christian didn't take it too badly I think he's just a little on his toes at the moment like alot of other guys because of the big shake-ups of late. I took the fatherly approach with Steve and he replied "Yeah, OK, won't happen again". I didn't really know how to take it but it seemed remorse enough. I gave the guys a lil pep speech afterwards to let them know all of their jobs are safe and we value all of them. I hate to lie but Dad is right, in this business it's not an option.

Eric makes it clear he isn't happy about The Undertaker's interference in last weeks main event between Booker T and Flair. Bischoff tells Taker his motorbike may have been allowed in a RAW building but unlike Vince he treats safety seriously. He bans The Undertaker's bike and tells him if he interfers in anymore Nitro matches there'll be dire consequences. Bischoff again goes on a WCW rant and claims the only time Taker beat any of his "WCW guys" was on WWF turf, Eric adds.... "This is where the big boys play Undertaker!"... http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/Costnaza9/TheUndertaker.jpg "Rollin" by Limp Bizkit hits and Undertaker rides down the entrance ramp on his motorbike, he pulls up outside the ring and revs the clutch at Bischoff.

I told you we'd get stronger. last week we brought back the most dominate tag team this business has ever seen, The outsiders! We beat the best the WWF had to offer in less then ten minutes last week. There isn't a team that can beat us.... Nash is interupted by Eric Bischoff who's out on the entrance ramp. Eric: Kevin, I hope that's true. I know The Outsiders are the greatest tag team in history to but you're going to have to prove it. Bischoff holds up a large envelope with a WWF letterhead on it Eric: The WWF Board of Directors received an appeal from Vince McMahon. Vince has requested that a Tournament consisting of 16 Tag Teams, 8 being nominated from each brand to determine the champions and the Board of Directors has agreed. The tournament will commence next week on RAW and all of the teams competing must be nominated by their respective brands by this Monday. Bischoff scrunches up the paper and throws it to the ground Eric: Pfft, it's nothing right guys. We've got the best tag teams right here on Nitro and you two destroyed one of them just last week. I can't wait to see what tag teams Vince can put together, he can't even keep his guys from killing eachother right now. I'm sure at the end of this tournament The Outsiders... Kevin Nash and Scott Hall will still be the WWF World Tag Team Champions! The nWo music hits, Eric smirks and disappears behind the curtain.

Genadi Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Tuesday 16 April, 2002 My worst show yet tonight, it was only a B- overall but still with all the talent at my disposal that's still pretty lame. I need to build these storylines properly though, I don't want to rush it at the expense of a short ratings boost. I have long term plans all the way to Wrestlemania and it doesn't involve giving away all of our dream matches every other week on Nitro. Mike Tenay and Taz have great chemistry together. They're combination on Nitro could help Taz develop alot. Lance Storm has gone from C- popularity in the States to C+ in three weeks! His superstar quality is rated at D and he's only been involved in two tag team wins. He must just be clicking all of a sudden with the fans. Whatever it is it'll be interesting to watch how he goes over the next few months. I signed Colt Cabana after surfing on some credible internet wrestling forums. The forum I found a guy was raving about him, he reminded me he has been taeaming with CM Punk lately. The two will have some time in OVW to prepare for a debut together. I'm exhausted, excited and nervous all at once, my first PPV this Sunday! Most of the matches are booked for Backlash, all of the main ones at least. PR has made a poster advertising the show so I'll paste it in here as a scrapbook like I've been doing when I get a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Final Countdown Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I signed Colt Cabana after surfing on some credible internet wrestling forums. The forum I found a guy was raving about him, he reminded me he has been taeaming with CM Punk lately. The two will have some time in OVW to prepare for a debut together. *Pats self on back* Was Hall concussed...or was he just wasted? Well, at least he didn't pull up the referee's shirt and start playing with his belly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least he didn't pull up the referee's shirt and start playing with his belly That will be adressed in a journal entry shortly, I wanted it to come of as it not being clear if he was kayfabe injured, drunk or what? You'll see why soon, hopefully it will play out well. Thanks again for the Cabana reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genadi Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Saturday19 April, 2002 Well I just came from Dads hotel room, we watched a Nitro replay together and I wanted to see his reaction to the Hall vs Hogan match. He thought for sure Hall was drunk but I assured him it was part of an angle and he was just acting great. Scott hasn't caused one problem backstage yet, apart from our night out that got a little out of hand. Dad seems happy enough with my booking so far but he keeps hinting to make sure I emphasise RAW as being the dominant brand. I think it's hard not to due to the fans perception at the moment. The ratings for this week again show that to.....

It's his undoing though as his offense lasts about ten secnonds before Bradshaw connects with a stiff clothesline.

Storm outmoves Bradshaw, he delivers a suplex and follows up with an Inverted clover leaf. Bradhsaw recovers but Storm dodges a shoulder charge and send him crashing into the ringpost.

Lesnar toys with Hardy delivering power moves at leisure, Heyman screams at him to finish it. Brock picks up Hardy and delivers three standing power bombs. He doesn't make the cover though, he picks up Jeff again and delivers a powerbomb onto the ropes this time. This is just turning brutal, Lesnar taunts Jeffs lifeless body. Matt Hardy is running out, Heyman alerts Lesnar and he meets Matt with a spinning spinebuster landing on top of his brother. Heyman goes purple demanding Lesnar make the pin on Jeff, Brock follows his orders and Jeff is pinned. Medics come to the ring and roll Jeff out who's bleeding from the mouth now.

Mr. Perfect comes out with new ring gear for the match, he has MMA looking gloves and only short tights. A special UFC referee has been brought in for the fight and he goes over the rules for the match with the wrestlers. The match will consist of 5 X 3 minute rounds. If no winner has been decided in 5 rounds three appointed judges will determine the winner. The match will take place in the usual WWF ring but the "rope break" rule does not apply. The UFC ref goes onto explain a few more minor MMA rules as Shamrock and Mr. Perfect stare eachother down. The bell sounds and both attempt take downs early, Perfect is the first to get the upperhand. JR explains that Shamrock is used to fighting in his weight class and that Perfect is using that to his advantage. The end of round 1 and Perfect seems to be on top. Round 2 goes very much the same with Shamrock struggling to counter Perfects weight advantage and conservative approach. Round 3 looks to be headed the same when out of nowhere Shamrock lands a huge right! It leaves Perfect dazed and on the ropes as Shamrock unleashes, Perfect covers up but has no answer as the bell sounds saving him from the round. Round four opens up very evenly with both going toe to toe now and Perfect visibly still rattled from the right hook. Shamrock goes low and takes him down, he mounts and unloads with lefts and rights. Perfect manages to turn him and mounts Shamrock, he locks in a rear naked choke. Shamrock reverses though and turns Perfect into a Guillotine Choke, he taps and the UFC ref calls for the bell.

Van Dam puts the steel chair on Kanes face and hits the Rolling Thunder. Kane somehow sits up but RVD fights back with a dropkick to Kane's face with the chair. Time White warns RVD he'll throw the match out if he continues with a weapon as he throws the chair out of the ring. RVD jumps to the top rope and launches into a Five Star Frog Splash. Kane sits up again though and RVD misses the Splash. Kane goes on the attack and sets up Van Dam for a Tombstone Piledriver. RVD slips out and bounces off the ropes, he rolls Kane up for a flash pinfall out of nowehere. Kane kicks out right after three, it's just enough for RVD to retain.

Big Show looks at the crowd soaking up the jeers, Austin doesn't waste anytime and rushes the big man unloading with some right and lefts. They have no effect on Big Show and he palms Austin sending him rolling back into his corner. Austin looks at the crowd and smiles, he points to his texas brain indicating he has to play this one smart.

Triple H hits a suplex of the steel mesh and goes for the cover, a two count. The Game goes for The Pedigree but Rock flips him over and makes a comeback. Rock goes for The Rock Bottom but Triple H breaks free and hits a low blow, JR reminds everyone low blows are legal in this match, the only way to victory being pinfall or submission.

Genadi Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Sunday 20 April, 2002 My first PPV and it was a success on all accounts. The buyrates that are in look strong for our first RAW brand only event this big. Regal had one of the best matches on the show and it was in a dark match with The Godfather. The guy might be getting on but I think he deserves a solid spot for the future given his ability. Shamrock and Lesnar both continued their unbeaten streaks. Lesnar has shot up to C+ in popularity in the States after tonight his merch was selling like hotcakes. I have to be careful who I book him against, he's ready for stardom it looks but he's still so sketchy in the ring. He needs to improve his C- safety before I can trust him handling the money players. Triple H's slow heel turn is going well, he took the heel role in the main event tonight and he and The Rock were great. Goldbergs debut went great I think it may have added to the match rating. He's going to be working on Nitro but I wanted him to debut at Backlash to push the start of the new big storyline a little further ahead. The storyline is rating at an A the moment and I'm sure will help to keep viewers tuned into RAW and Nitro. I've brought in some old names for the Tag Team Tournament also, I want it to be a tournament to remember and one that's taken seriously. It will definitely have strong credentials when the other 8 teams are announced on RAW. After the show Hunter was at it again. It was just us and Dad backstage and he suggested we bring back the WWF Women's Title. He went on to say we should push a female like we did Moolah and Mae Young back in the day. Dad shot him down and did a good job of not creating and awkward situation. Still Hunter was looking at me the whole time to see my reaction as he mentioned my Mother's name. I don't know if he knows anything but he's still snooping and prodding. The RAW card for tomorrow night is...... Chris Jericho vs Ron Kingston (This is the only name I've come up with for Ron Killings. Creative has had nothing, they spend most their time playing foosball and making Steph coffee) Chris Candido & Mr Perfect vs The Hardy Boyz Al Snow vs Christian Albert vs William Regal Kurt Angle vs Stone Cold Oh yeah Hall has been missing since Friday, just when he was looking good to. He sent me a text late tonight saying he was safe and sound in Canada. He's there for something called 4/20 day? I'll have to ask around to see what he's talking about. I thought his birthday was in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were one of the few unfortunate WWF fans who didn't witness history being made at Backlash last night let us take you for a quick recap. King: History is right JR. Last night at Backlash I couldn't believe my eyes watching Goldberg step into a WWF ring. It was surreal! JR: Step into a WWF ring he did King, and more! Stills from the previous nights PPV appear on the Titantron showing Goldberg's debut in several pictures including his spear on The Rock. King: Well he certainly made his debut one to remember, I don't think HHH or The Rock will forget it anytime soon. JR: The Rock came out on top last night but the bigger question now is what happens from here King? The WWF brand split doesn't seem to be working, these Nitro guys can't keep their noses out of our business. What Goldberg did last night can't be considered acceptable, I hope it'll be addressed soon or we could see chaos here on RAW... http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/Costnaza9/VinceMcMahon-1.jpg Vince McMahons music hits and he power struts into the ring King: I think we're going to see it addressed sooner rather then later JR. Vince does not look happy tonight. Vince: Last night was an abomination. Last night one of Eric Bischoff's men again interefed in a RAW match. I've met with the WWF Board of Directors and received a court order concerning this. I won't have Bischoff's wannabes trying to steal my superstars thunder again! Bischoff! This court order states that if any contracted Nitro worker steps foot in a RAW arena their WWF contract will be terminated. That includes you Eric, and believe me I'd like nothing else then to be the one to tell you...... You're FIRED!!!

Vince reminds Hunter that it was Rock who received the Spear but does admit the Goldberg run in was a major distraction. Vince grants HHH his rematch and announces it will take place next week on RAW for the WWF Undisputed Title. Vince takes the oppurtunity to hype the RAW title and claims even with "That other silly shiny belt Nitro thinks is a real title" the WWF Undisputed Title is the only legitimate crown in the WWF. Vince finishes by adding HHH and The Rock both deserve a night off tonight and that the other two most impressive superstars from last night were Kurt Angle and Stone Cold Steve Austin who will face off one on one in tonights main event.

Jericho recovers around the 7:00 mark and locks in the Walls of Jericho, it looks to be over but Gee turns him over and makes an electric comeback. RP Gee hits a Hurricanrana followed by a sitout hip toss and has Jericho on the backfoot. Gee still on the attack nails Jericho with an elevated cradle neckbreaker, JR and King put the move over calling it a "Bunker Buster". Gee makes the cover but Jericho kicks out at a close two count. Jericho reverses a dragon suplex and hits a nasty looking russian legsweep on Gee. Y2J hits a running bulldog and follows with a Lionsault. He goes for another Lionsault on the opposite ropes and nails it. He makes the cover 1,2... RP Gee kicks out! Jericho shoves referee Tim White calling his two count slow. RP Gee rolls up Jericho from behind, 1,2... Jericho kicks out! Both men are back on their feet and Jericho has his hands pulled up in guard position. JR points out Jericho's new found respect for the debuting RP Gee and his change in wrestling stance from the start of the matchup. Both men lock up again and Jericho takes it to the mat, he turns RP Gee and locks in a figure four leglock. Y2J grabs the bottom rope for leverage and Gee looks like he has to tap! JR again does a great job on commentary pointing out Jericho's experience in positioning himself so that the referee can't see his clutching of the bottom rope. RP Gee struggles but has no choice but to tap or risk injury to the leg. Tim White calls for the bell while JR and King put over RP Gee's debut on RAW dispite his loss.

Genadi Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 Monday 21 April, 2002 Another solid RAW, it's really thanks to the roster. There is alot of talent at my disposal my biggest problem I've been finding week to week is to squeeze them all on to get air time. Spike Dudley needs a new character, by the reactions he had tonight it's obvious the fans are over his Underdog schtick. William Regal and Albert had pretty good chemistry which was suprising but welcomed. I'm happy with the way the Tag Team Tournament segment went also, this is a tournament that has to be respected. Alot of guys were suprised to see a few of those names up there. Ron Killings debut went better than I expected. His name was decided about ten minutes before he ran out after he suggested it. He got the gimmick over well and I've already got a storyline for him I think will be perfect. It should help a few other young guys at the same time. There's another young guy with loads of potential in OVW called The Prototype who has been pushing to use a Rapper gimmick like Killings has for his debut. Cena is his real name but he still looks a little green, Killings seems like a safer bet for now but we'll have to see who catches on once they've both established themselves a little. This John Cena is set to be called up any week now, I'm eagerly awaiting Dusty Rhode's training report on him and a few others who should be ready for the main roster sooner rather than later.

Genadi Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Tuesday 22 April, 2002 Another lackluster Nitro tonight, the roster just doesn't seem to be clicking at the moment. I'll have to address this and soon it seems to hurting the company a little bit having the show rate below a B. Raven and Samoa Joe don't click at all. It's lucky I tested them in a dark match because I had plans to debut Joe in a storyline with Raven. I'm not sure the name"Samoa Joe" will catch on either, seriously considering a name change before his TV debut. I heard there's a cousin combination tag team of pacific heritage making a name for themselves in the independent scene. I'll send some scouts to have a look at them if they're any good a stable involving all 3 could be an option. Right now is the perfect time to get young guys over, or at least mildly known. We've got a lot of older guys who are still popular that are at the ends of their careers. Our developmental territories, HWA and OVW are full of potential at the moment. The best trainer we have down there is Fit Finlay, a veteran we signed in the WCW takeover. I asked him to do me up a report at the end of each month with notes on guys who have stood out in development and he was all too happy to. He made me a quick report for this month which has me weighing up who I should call up...

Genadi Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/Costnaza9/internet.jpg April 2002 Monthly Roundup WWF A new head booker was named, "Genadi GooniGoohoo". Many insiders are already pointing out the similarities between Genadi's rise to power within the WWF and ex-emplyee Vince Russo. Reports are coming from the WWF that McMahon is forming a "Russo type bond" with the young virtualy unknown Aussie and has given him almost complete control over creative. The WWF had their first brand split and draft splitting the roster in two with half appearing exclusively on RAW and the other half on Nitro. With an influx of ex-WCW stars the Nitro roster looks to be getting stronger but was obviously not the quality of RAW from the get go. The Rock defeated HHH in only his second defense of the WWF World Heavyweight Title at Backlash becoming a 7 time Champion in the process. The PPV main event also saw the debut of Goldberg, although signed to appear on only Nitro Goldberg interfered before his contract had begun with the WWF Spearing The Rock. A new star seems to have been born in the WWF this month with Brock Lesnar seeing his popularity soar pushing him into the uppermidcard only months after his debut. North America Two promotions are being rumoured to open tomorrow and press conferences have are taking place in the morning. Mike Quackenbush is set to open CHIKARA and Jeff Jarrett Total Nonstop Action. A group of new workers debuted, Hallowicked, Grim Reefer, Kafu, Melina Perez and Don West a colour commentator. The Ring Of Honor promotion continued to turn heads. Only running one show all month the company drew 278 fans to the event and few walked away unimpressed. Christopher Daniels & American Dragon def CW Anderson & Steve Corino in what many are calling the best indy match this year. The main event saw Super Dragon def The Amazing Red to claim the ROH World Title. Japan Pro Wrestling NOAH have risen to Cult size following their recent string of great shows. In NJPW Shinya Hashimoto became the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion defeating Tadao Yasuda to start his 4th reign with the Title. Kaz Hayashi became the AJPW World Junior Heavyweight Champion defeating Gran Naniwa in front of a sold out Kashima Sports Center in an opening match. Rest of the World AAA Lucha Libre lost their TV deal due too low ratings. The WWA promotion continued to bleed money, with their biggest star Jeff Jarrett looking to start his own company back in the U.S the future doesn't look good for this new company.

Comin' at you live in my brand new set, featuring this very expensive plasma tv screen the Jeritron 5000. People this little unit cost more than your houses did and it's all mine! But hey this show isn't about me, I don't like talking about myself. What I want to talk about is my very first guest on The Highlight Reel... Christian! Christian why don't you come out here and introduce yourself to these people. Come on buddy, I know you're shy but they won't bite.... well maybe this chick here in the front row will she looks wily. Christian's new music hits, "Sweet oblivion" by Screaming Trees and he makes his way to the Highlight Reel set. Christian: What is it with you and glitter? This set is very pretty Chris I can see what Vince has been doing with the Diva's since Wrestlemania now. Jericho: Hey! You're a guest on my show! That means I ask the questions and make the humourous observations not you! Now I asked you to be my first guest because last week you said you wanted the same thing I do.... recognition around here! Now granted I obviously deserve much more then you I can still see where you're coming from. Vince told us to earn our recognition, dammit just 2 months ago I was the first WWF Undisputed Champion! I beat Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock on the same night! Christian: And now here you are competing with Geraldo and Maury. Jericho: What did I say before? I told you the rules, this is my show! What have you done lately Christian? You beat some freak with a crush on you at Backlash and you think you can play with the big boys now? You're the Marty Jannety of Edge & Christian, you're the spare wheel, that anchor that weighs a team down. Why don't you go back to Canada before you embarrass us any further. Christian unloads on Jericho with left and rights, he sends Jericho off the ropes and sets up for a crossbody but Jericho slips out of the ring and retreats up the ramp.

So help me, you'll both be out of a job quicker then I can look at you! What the hell is going on? Austin! I put out a restraining order on ever Nitro wrestler preventing them from causing this kind of crap and you once again defy me! This isn't an Eric Bischoff show, it won't end each week via some screwy run in leaving this audience feeling cheated. This is WWF RAW! I put Hunter and The Rock in a match tonight because I and the WWF fans want to see who comes out on top. By God we're gonna see it, if I have to fire you and your Olympic friend here to do so than so be it. This ends here, Kurt, Austin you two want a title shot so bad you've both got it! I declare you both the #1 Contender and you'll both face the WWF Undisputed Champion at RAW's King of The Ring PPV on June 9th! If however either of you try this crap again you will forfeit your title shot, that means interfering in any matches or jeopardizing any of RAW's matches. Do I make myself clear? Austin rolls out of the ring and makes his way back up the ramp content with his earnt title shot. Angle does the same a few paces behind. Vince: Now that still leaves us with an unresolved main event, HHH, Rock, next week on RAW we will determine the WWF Undisputed Champion once and for all. It will be you Triple H vs The Rock for the title in a 3 Stages of Hell match! The first will be a Normal singles bout , the second match will be a Street Fight and the last if needed match, Last Man Standing.
