After a bit of an argument, Warrior and Vince made an agreement, and the Warrior ultimately decided to take a small sabbatical to try and hone his skills more, for a later, much better run in the near future. He is expected to return sometime at the beginning of next year, somewhere in January 2011.</div></blockquote>

Sorry for the slight inactivity recently, but I'll get some more stuff up sooner or later.

Did a standard test for everybody on my roster. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="37892" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>WWE Wellness Policy results for October On the afternoon on the Monday after Hell in a Cell, the roster was tested for various types of drugs. The results came out with several workers, such as Afa Anoa'i Jr., Rainbow Dash, Chris Benoit, Ezekiel Jackson and Lance Cade, testing positive. Benoit, Jackson and Cade understood the fatherly approaches taken to them, but Afa and Dash were a bit irritated.</div></blockquote>

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/ZxgDgQq.jpg Monday, October Week 2 Pre-Show <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="37892" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> MVP won a battle royal. C+ Rainbow Dash defeated Trish Stratus. B Kane defeated Dean Ambrose. C- Kings of the Ring defeated Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Dam. B </div></blockquote> Main Show At the beginning of the show, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler promoted that they were in the recently-opened SmackDown Arena tonight, to promote that the rest of this month will be dedicated to the yearly brand war between Raw and SmackDown known as Bragging Rights. There was also mention that the WWE Draft will occur the night after Bragging Rights, in November. Rating: B+ In a segment starting off with Edge in the middle of the ring thanking Orton for the help at Hell in a Cell, Shawn Michaels interrupted him when Edge proclaimed himself as the better brand's world champion, which HBK obviously denied, which led to an agreement to a match later tonight. Rating: B+ John Morrison vs. Mascarita Sagrada vs. Chavo Guerrero In a bout that featured great action but not much in the way of heat, John Morrison defeated Mascarita Sagrada and Chavo Guerrero in 7:38 when John Morrison defeated Chavo Guerrero by pinfall with a Starship Pain. Morrison liked working with people of his weight, so it seemed like an advantage for these guys. Rating: B The Rotunda Brothers vs. Cryme Tyme In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, Cryme Tyme defeated Rotunda Brothers in 7:46 when JTG defeated Bo Rotunda by pinfall with a Spinning Headlock Drop. This match was mainly a showcase of the midcard, with focus on Cryme Tyme. Rating: C Mike Rotunda, the road agent behind this match, and Mike Chioda, the referee for the match, slightly helped the match work out okay. Backstage, Santino Marella comedically bragged to several other friends about probably being a future star on Raw, and said he wanted to prove he was going to be tough enough to push the brand to the top this time around at Bragging Rights. However, he was soon intimidated by SmackDown's monster Kane, who belittled the Italian-Canadian superstar, and threatened to tear him apart. Rating: C+ Santino's little drinking habit pulled down this segment, even though it came out well. The Miz and the Dudebusters vs. The Motor City Machine Guns and Ultimo Dragon In a match that had some good action but non-existent crowd heat, Ultimo Dragon and Motor City Machine Guns defeated The Miz and The Dudebusters in 7:38 when Alex Shelley defeated Trent Barreta by submission with a Crossface. Rating: C+ Both six-man teams had experience altogether, but Ultimo Dragon was clearly slowly declining in skill, despite the potential. I see a world title push in the future for the international star. Chris Jericho held another edition of the Highlight Reel, this time with the newly-turned Ted DiBiase, who along with his father, came out to a bit of a positive reaction. In the interview segment, Jericho ranted about DiBiase's betrayal against Cody Rhodes, which provoked Ted Jr. enough to attack the former world champion. Rating: B Ted DiBiase Jr. was a great entertainer in this segment, alongside his Million Dollar Manager. The drinking habits of both DiBiase and Jericho oddly enough did little effect with this segment. The Rock, Booker T and Evan Bourne vs. Carlito and The Hart Dynasty In a bout that featured great action but not much in the way of heat, The Rock, Booker T and Evan Bourne defeated Carlito and The Hart Dynasty in 9:12 when The Rock defeated David Hart Smith by pinfall with a People's Elbow. Rating: B- The Rock asked to be somewhere in the card where he could go for a quick victory that he could share with other stars to build momentum between the three of them. However, a midcard match didn't seem to fit well for him, as it brought down the rating. Backstage, Brock Lesnar ranted about how Randy Orton cost him the WWE Championship at Hell in a Cell, promising pain in the Viper's future. Rating: B+ Sara Del Rey vs. Twilight Sparkle In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Sara Del Rey defeated Twilight Sparkle in 7:32 by pinfall with a Double Underhook Suplex following interference from Rarity, who slammed Twilight with a steel chair to the back when the referee's back was turned. Rating: B- Twilight Sparkle was walking back down the aisle, having just suffered a defeat. At the same time, Rainbow Dash was passing by, carrying her undisputed Diva's Division title belts in tow. As they passed by, Rainbow Dash clearly taunted Twilight Sparkle about the loss, which she responded to with a shove. Soon enough, a brawl broke out between the two of them. Rating: B- Rainbow Dash's various habits seem to be dragging her down a little. Batman and Sting vs. Batista and The Joker In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, The Joker and Batista defeated Batman and Sting in 11:05 when Batista defeated Sting by pinfall with a Batista Bomb. Rating: C+ Batman and Sting don't seem to work together well, despite having similar gimmicks. Sting and Batista's declining ability damaged the match heavily. Chris Jericho vs. Ted DiBiase In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Ted DiBiase defeated Chris Jericho in 13:07 by pinfall with a Dream Street, which surprised Jericho more than it did the fans. Rating: B- Ted and Jericho do not click. Let's hope the same doesn't happen between DiBiase and other people in the future. Cody Rhodes came out and attacked Ted after the match, beating him down with a springboard kick and the Cross Rhodes. Rating: B- Stone Cold Steve Austin II vs. Chris Benoit In a match that had excellent in-ring action and great heat from the audience, Stone Cold Steve Austin II defeated Chris Benoit in 10:23 by pinfall with a Stone Cold Stunner, after a failed Diving Headbutt from Benoit. Rating: B Benoit clearly worked well with Stone Cold II, considering they both have great star quality. Stone Cold II also looked a tiny bit drunk, but it didn't seem to matter anyway. Edge vs. Shawn Michaels In a superb bout that had great wrestling and a sizzling crowd, Shawn Michaels defeated Edge in 13:55 by pinfall with a Sweet Chin Music. The match itself seemed to be fitting for a four-star, if not five star, candidate, especially due to being a bit short and sweet. Rating: A* These guys wowed me out there. Even though Shawn might fall into a bit of a decline in the future, and the fact that Edge had some form of inconsistency in there, this match seems to be a Match of the Year Candidate, scoring a 98 on the Ryland scale.

C John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton in a triple threat. C </div></blockquote> Overall Rating: A Just so you know, at this point, I have discovered the Dirt Sheet notes, and they are really helping me out with what to do and what not to do, or whether the worker had inconsistency/bad motivation/habits when it came to segments. Applause for Ryland and GDS for coming up with these features. </div>

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/iBE8pOM.jpg Tuesday, October Week 2 * Like always, there was some alcohol brought in at some point. The person behind the delivery this time was Paul Heyman, to bring more good vibes for the locker room. Pre-Show <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="37892" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> The Hart Dynasty defeated Irish Airborne. C- Wade Barrett defeated Colt Cabana. C+ Kings of the Ring defeated Motor City Machine Guns, Charlie Haas/Dr. Wagner Jr. and The Dudebusters. C+ Batman defeated Batista by stoppage. B </div></blockquote> Main Show Austin Aries and The Shadow vs. Goldust and Yoshi Tatsu In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, Austin Aries and The Shadow defeated Yoshi Tatsu and Goldust in 8:08 when The Shadow defeated Yoshi Tatsu by pinfall, illegally using the ropes for leverage. The Shadow and Goldust might possibly have a feud in the future, most likely for the Face of No Mercy Championship if Rey Mysterio drops the title to either one of them in the future. Rating: C+ Austin Aries and The Shadow showed support for each other as a team, which is a good thing to say. The Miz is shown backstage flirting with Rainbow Dash and Rarity, but he fails when he finds that Dash and Rarity are a couple. Rating: C+ Twilight Sparkle/Lita/Trish Stratus vs. Rarity/Rainbow Dash/Maryse In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Twilight Sparkle, Lita and Trish Stratus defeated Maryse and Rainbow Dash & Rarity in 6:40 when Twilight Sparkle defeated Rarity by pinfall with a Busaiku Knee following interference from Applejack, who attacked both Rainbow Dash and Rarity to help Twilight win, with the Sweet Chin Music on both of them. Rating: B Almost all the divas in this match happened to help engage the crowd. Impressive. The Hardyz vs. Jack Swagger and Afa Anoa'i Jr. In a bout that featured great action but not much in the way of heat, The Hardyz defeated Jack Swagger and Afa Anoa'i Jr. in 7:29 when Jeff Hardy defeated Jack Swagger by pinfall with a Swanton Bomb after Matt Hardy's Twist of Fate. Rating: C+ Oddly enough, Afa Jr. had enough charisma to qualify for a positive bonus. Didn't do much, though. Intercontinental Championship Chris Benoit © vs. Rey Mysterio Benoit demonstrated what he had as an Intercontinental Champion in this match against Face of No Mercy Champion Rey Mysterio. In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Chris Benoit defeated Rey Mysterio in 8:55 by pinfall after a diving headbutt. Chris Benoit makes defence number 1 of his WWE Intercontinental title. Rating: B- Apparently, the chemistry/motivation from Benoit is being overwhelmed by Paul Heyman. The Miz vs. Booker T In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, The Miz defeated Booker T in 6:44 by pinfall with a Skull Crushing Finale. Rating: C In the ring, Ted DiBiase calls out Cody Rhodes and challenges him to a match. Rhodes responds, and accepts the challenge by brawling with Ted DiBiase. Rating: C+ Ted DiBiase vs. Cody Rhodes In a bout that featured great action but not much in the way of heat, Ted DiBiase defeated Cody Rhodes in 9:48 by submission from the Million Dollar Dream. During the match we also had Ted Dibiase Sr. distract Rhodes. Rating: B- Shawn Michaels had an interview hyping his upcoming singles match with Ted DiBiase, which he said was announced to happen at Bragging Rights in three weeks. Rating: B- The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin II cut a backstage promo, in which they both said they were currently undecided on which brand to be a part of at Bragging Rights, whether they go ahead and make a home on SmackDown, or become a part of Monday Night Raw. Rating: B+ I guess screw drinking habits when it comes to Stone Cold II. Television Championship The Joker © vs. Rob Van Dam In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Rob Van Dam defeated The Joker in 8:40 by pinfall with a Five Star Frog Splash following interference from Batman. Rob Van Dam wins the WWE Television title. Rating: C+ I don't think the crowd was anticipating a hardcore match at this point, although the match was intended to build a Batman/Joker feud. Shawn Michaels vs. John Morrison In a superb bout that had great wrestling and a sizzling crowd, Shawn Michaels defeated John Morrison in 12:08 by pinfall with a Sweet Chin Music. Rating: B- Note to self: never book Michaels and Morrison against each other in a singles match ever again.

-----------

WWE has decided to call up FCW main eventer Colin Delaney, who originally had a run as an reoccurring enhancement talent on ECW, as a lower midcarder heel who will work with a troublemaker gimmick, a bit similar to his previous heel run.

LordryuTJ · April 28, 2014

* Before the show, Joe Hennig did impressions. I swear, about a fourth of the roster can do spot-on impersonations.

Chavo Guerrero was found to be a steroid user, but was given a fatherly approach, which was enough for him to understand completely without problems.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/ZxgDgQq.jpg Monday, October Week 3 * Afa Anoa'i pulled a prank on Jerry Lawler and was given a slap on the wrist for the recklessness. * Evan Bourne and Christian have bonded over classical music. * Heath Slater is now Sting's protege. * The locker room is definitely going out of its way to be the most unique due to the delivery of alcohol at least once or twice every two weeks, and the great impressionists inside, the pranks, and the new formations of mentors and proteges. Pre-Show <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="37892" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> Montel Vontavious Porter defeated Extreme Tiger.

B Booker T won a 10-man battle royal. B- Sting defeated Big Show. C </div></blockquote> Main Show Evan Bourne vs. Zack Ryder In an extremely short match, Evan Bourne defeated Zack Ryder in 5:13 by pinfall with a Shooting Star Press. Rating: C+ I think the best average a midcard should have is around the C's. Never get below the D's unless it's just ONE flub-up down there. Alberto Del Rio vs. Dean Ambrose In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, Alberto Del Rio defeated Dean Ambrose in 6:05 by pinfall. Rating: C+ Del Rio is pushed as a "main eventer", but I'm not ready to get him up to that level just yet. Unlike in real life, he needs to build up to a main event feud. Face of No Mercy Championship Rey Mysterio © vs. The Shadow vs. Goldust In a bout that featured great action but not much in the way of heat, Rey Mysterio defeated The Shadow and Goldust in 7:01 when Rey Mysterio defeated The Shadow by pinfall with a West Coast Pop. Rey Mysterio makes defence number 6 of his WWE Face of No Mercy title. Rating: B- I remembered what I said about The Shadow and Goldust probably having a good feud in the future. Amidst a chaotic in-ring scene, Batman and The Joker finally come face to face on opposite sides of the ring. They both pause, psyche themselves up, and charge. The ring gets flooded by numerous other wrestlers, and the two are pulled away before they can make contact by various referees, low-carders, road agents and personalities from both Raw and SmackDown. Rating: B+ No Dirt Sheet factors affected any part of this. Ted DiBiase vs. Sheamus In a bout that featured great action but not much in the way of heat, Ted DiBiase defeated Sheamus in 7:43 by submission. Rating: C+ Clearly Sheamus may need to build up. Or Ted. Maybe both/ Chris Masters and Christian vs. Lance Cade and Shawn Spears In a match that had some good action but non-existent crowd heat, Christian and Chris Masters defeated Lance Cade and Shawn Spears in 6:08 when Christian defeated Lance Cade by pinfall with a Killswitch. Rating: C Brock Lesnar hyped the six-man tag team main event he's in, focusing mainly on Edge and Randy Orton. Rating: B+ Television Championship Rob Van Dam © vs. Cody Rhodes In a bout that featured great action but not much in the way of heat, Rob Van Dam defeated Cody Rhodes in 7:52 by pinfall with a Five Star Frog Splash. Rob Van Dam makes defence number 1 of his WWE Television title. Rating: B Cody Rhodes and RVD could probably be world champions soon, and for RVD, it's to get back on top to where he was in mid-2006 for a short time. Edge arrives in the arena with the WWE Championship. Rating: B- The Rock had an interview hyping his upcoming singles match with The Joker, calling Joker a poor man's excuse for a comic book villain. Rating: B+ The Rock vs. The Joker In a bout that featured great action and great heat from the audience, The Rock defeated The Joker in 7:46 by pinfall with a People's Elbow. Rating: C+ The Joker probably needs to work on his craft as well. However, it's obvious he's too good for FCW or NXT... erm, not that I was thinking of sending him down to developmental, of course! Diva's/Women's Championship Match @ Bragging Rights on the line! Twilight Sparkle vs. Applejack vs. Rarity In a bout that featured great action but not much in the way of heat, Twilight Sparkle defeated Rarity and Applejack in 11:14 when Twilight Sparkle retrieved the contract for the match while Applejack elbow dropped Rarity through the commentary table, leaving them both reeling. Rating: B I didn't really need to see better, since these divas are quite impressive in their own right. Stone Cold Steve Austin II vs. Batista In a bout that featured great action and great heat from the audience, Stone Cold Steve Austin II defeated Batista in 10:51 by pinfall with a Stone Cold Stunner. Rating: B Batista may probably be on his way out by next year, since he's really starting to stink up the matches he works some of the time, but I don't want to let him go just yet. He's got time to fight through the decline. Rated RKO/John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar/Chris Benoit/Shawn Michaels In a superb bout that had great wrestling and a sizzling crowd, Shawn Michaels, Brock Lesnar and Chris Benoit defeated John Cena and Rated-RKO in 12:25 when Brock Lesnar defeated Edge by pinfall with a F-5 after Paul Heyman interfered to distract Edge and his team. Rating: A The fans were eagerly anticipating it, as the match card reminders leading up for this match increased in rating. Also, Edge, Orton and Cena clearly have six-man tag team chemistry, which can be transferred into matches between the three of them if needed.

I highly doubt. You don't look like a true champion at all. Cody is then interrupted by one of SmackDown's top superstars in Triple H, who didn't have a lot to say before he broke Hell loose tonight. HHH: Cody, if looks are the factor, then it seems I outrank by a hell of a lot! With that single sentence, Triple H caught Rhodes off guard when he kicked him in the gut and slammed him face first with the Pedigree. However, Shawn Michaels came down to try and come face to face with Triple H, but then Ted DiBiase made it a handicap situation upon his arrival, until... You know it's da MacMillant, kid! The SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long came out to halt the action, and to lay down the imminent main event of tonight. Teddy Long: Just a minute, playa!

In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, Seth Rollins defeated The Shadow in 5:48 by pinfall. Rating: C+ Motor City Machine Guns vs. Evan Bourne and Rey Mysterio vs. Wade Barrett and Vance Archer This match was made to determine who would face off against the Hardyz in a tag team match for the titles. In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, Evan Bourne and Rey Mysterio defeated Wade Barrett and Vance Archer and Motor City Machine Guns in 6:45 when Evan Bourne defeated Vance Archer by pinfall with a Shooting Star Press that followed Rey Mysterio's 619 kick from the ropes.

Sparkle: I mean, don't get me wrong; I see potential in her, but she's clearly quite out of her mind after getting with that crazy clown criminal, who still hasn't explained how they got together like this. The whole Divas Division is clearly being used by the two of them for Rainbow and Rarity to be the dirtiest Divas they can be. Not in my world. Not in the world of wrestling, which should at least be dominated by the purest of souls. Rating: B</div></blockquote> Twilight Sparkle and Trish Stratus vs. LayCool Twilight Sparkle had a lot on her mind tonight, mainly about the reign of terror that Rainbow Dash has just begun, but she was still not wanting to stand down, and she was willing to stand her ground tonight. In an extremely short match, Twilight Sparkle and Trish Stratus defeated Michelle McCool and Layla in 5:08 when Twilight Sparkle defeated Michelle McCool by pinfall with a Busaiku Knee Kick.

Getting bored with herself as of late about the situation she's getting herself into, Rainbow went to cling onto her 10+ pound title belts, when the room went dark, and Dash was pounced by a pitch black figure, which is obviously who we all think it was. Sounds of strikes being thrown down, and the electrical crash of the TV in the locker room, sounded out loud, getting a few gasps from the crowd.</div> When the lights came back up, Batman stood over Dash's body, which was underneath the now-shattered TV screen, and kicked her away from view, before coming towards the screen and forcing the camera in witness to cut. Rating: B- Meanwhile, CM Punk and Chris Jericho were talking backstage. Punk: Chris, what I'm hoping for the two of us, when SmackDown is triumphant again at Bragging Rights, is for the two of us to dominate on Friday nights, and it won't be some old farts who just happen to come around again to punish those who clearly don't deserve what they earned. Jericho: I am with you on that, Punk. Stone Cold clearly has something out for the two of us. I mean, we are the next faces of the WWE, and we don't even get enough recognition to be champions here. We need to fight harder, before the man holds us down. I should know, because the last few months, I clearly have been tossed around a little too much, and I can see the same for you. Punk: We will be the survivors to help protect the innocent, when they need it most! However, their plotting seemed to fade when Stone Cold Steve Austin II happened to be over-hearing them, and they turned around in some surprise. Austin II: Ya better watch your back before you get a boot up yer ass, ya know that? ...Besides, you're not the faces of the WWE. You're far from at this point. Rating: B+</div></blockquote> Intercontinental Championship - No Disqualification Chris Benoit vs. Colt Cabana vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Michael Tarver vs. MVP vs. Mark Henry The point of this match at this point was, as said by Raw General Manager Steve Austin in the SmackDown pre-show, to try and get Raw to claim titles from SmackDown, and what better way than with this six-way match for the Intercontinental Championship. In a bout that featured great action but not much in the way of heat, Chris Benoit defeated Colt Cabana, Drew McIntyre, Michael Tarver, Mark Henry and Montel Vontavious Porter in a No DQ match in 7:11 when Chris Benoit defeated Michael Tarver by pinfall with a diving headbutt through a table. Chris Benoit makes defence number 2 of his WWE Intercontinental title. Rating: C+ Everybody engaged the crowd quite impressively.

Way below me, but Ted here isn't staying in the bottom for long. DiBiase: It's all about who's the best, and I don't think Cody or Shawn Michaels know that enough. Rating: B+</div></blockquote> Alberto Del Rio vs. Dean Ambrose A regular SmackDown vs. Raw match, in which the commentators talked about a battle royal at Bragging Rights that will have the Television Championship of Rob Van Dam on the line. In an extremely short match, Alberto Del Rio defeated Dean Ambrose in 4:57 by pinfall. Rating: C- <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="37892" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">In Chris Jericho's interview segment, the Highlight Reel, the guests tonight were again The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin II. Throughout the interview, Jericho tried to convince the two that it wouldn't be worth it to be on Raw for much longer, and that SmackDown needs another win, but he also insulted them for even considering Raw. The Rock soon took the mic from him.</div> The Rock: So you really want a decision from Austin and The Rock, huh? You want to know what Stone Cold and The Rock think of you and your little SmackDown team? Jericho: That's right! The Rock: (beat) The Rock thinks it's crap! The Rock then Rock Bottomed Jericho, letting the world know that he and Stone Cold Steve Austin II have made their decisions. The Rock: Because The Rock and Stone Cold here are going to be the co-captains for Team Raw! Stone Cold II: And that's the bottom line, because Stone Cold... The Rock: And The Rock!... Stone Cold II: ...say so! Rating: B+</div></blockquote> The Hardyz vs. Kings of the Ring In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, The Hardyz defeated Kings of the Ring in 8:18 when Jeff Hardy defeated Daniel Bryan by pinfall with a Poetry in Motion. Rating: B Daniel Bryan is somehow losing the crowd a bit whenever he's in a match. Shelton Benjamin vs. John Morrison This was once again a match to build up John Morrison's momentum, to keep him in the main event for now. In a match that had excellent in-ring action and a good crowd, John Morrison defeated Shelton Benjamin in 8:20 by pinfall with a Moonlight Drive. Rating: B Triple H/Ted DiBiase vs. Cody Rhodes/Shawn Michaels In a bout that featured great action and great heat from the audience, Triple H and Ted DiBiase defeated Cody Rhodes and Shawn Michaels in 10:29 when Ted DiBiase defeated Cody Rhodes by pinfall with a fast roll up, out of a failed Cross Rhodes attempt, while Shawn Michaels super-kicked Triple H on the outside, distracted from the match for the moment, to the point where he couldn't make it.. Rating: B There wasn't much to go with in terms of chemistry between the teams.

At least it got a B+, so it was an accident gone right for that moment.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/ZxgDgQq.jpg Monday, October Week 4 Venue: CA Oracle Arena Attendance: 19,596 Pre-Show <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="37892" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> Batman defeated Epico.

B Evan Bourne, Vladimir Kozlov and Goldust defeated The Shadow, Michael Tarver and Shawn Spears. C+ Rob Van Dam © defeated Leo Kruger to retain the Television Championship. C </div></blockquote> Main Show To start off the show, Vince McMahon was host to the first ever contract signing for a Divas/Women's Championship match, between Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. The two rivals sat down on opposite sides of the table and laid down some harsh words to each other, not really wishing the best of luck to each other, before Dash was provoked into a brawl that erupts between the two rising star, ending with Rainbow Dash putting Twilight through the contract-signing table with a powerbomb. Rating: B- Sting vs. Jack Swagger - BRAGGING RIGHTS TEAM QUALIFYING MATCH Even though 3 spots were left for grabs for Team Raw, there were only two matches confirmed to be qualifying rounds, as Stone Cold Steve Austin II and The Rock promised that they know a guy who will be a part of Team Raw for sure. In a bout that featured great action but not much in the way of heat, Sting defeated Jack Swagger in 7:40 by submission with a Scorpion Deathlock. Rating: B- I think this was Sting's best WWE singles match so far, legitimately. Chavo Guerrero and Dean Ambrose vs. Motor City Machine Guns So I'm kinda preparing to try and find more tag team chemistry for the future that's yet to come, but for some reason I didn't find chemistry between Ambrose and Chavo here. In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, Chavo Guerrero and Dean Ambrose defeated Motor City Machine Guns in 5:49 when Chavo Guerrero defeated Chris Sabin by pinfall with a Gory Bomb. Rating: C- Steve Austin was backstage, in the Raw General Manager office, in which Cody Rhodes barged in, demanding a match to prove himself worthy of being a contender for the WWE Championship. Austin, however, believes he may be right, but he needs to be proven so. Austin: Tell ya what; tonight, you'll go one on one tonight... against Randy Orton. Good luck. Austin then showed Cody the door, and had him leave. On the other hand, Rhodes didn't really mind that he was put into a match with another former Legacy member. Rating: B- Batista vs. Montel Vontavious Porter - BRAGGING RIGHTS TEAM QUALIFYING MATCH During the match, Stone Cold Steve Austin II and The Rock were shown to be watching the match on TV, scouting both Batista and MVP closely. They were joined by their new teammate Sting as well. In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Batista defeated Montel Vontavious Porter in 8:22 by pinfall with a Batista Bomb. Stone Cold II, Sting and The Rock applauded Batista's effort, despite him being on the opposite side of the Raw roster, since at Bragging Rights, alignments wouldn't matter when it came to grade-A brand warfare. Rating: B- Chris Benoit vs. Alberto Del Rio (non-title match) Chris Benoit didn't have the risk of putting his championship on the line, as this match was more of a regular exhibition match. In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Chris Benoit defeated Alberto Del Rio in 6:10 by pinfall after a diving headbutt, to the relief of Paul Heyman. Del Rio was a tiny bit sluggish, as he was a bit off his game. Rating: B John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan Like Benoit's match, this match was a warm-up for the United States Champion. In a match that had excellent in-ring action and great heat from the audience, John Cena defeated Daniel Bryan in 8:28 by pinfall with an Attitude Adjustment. Rating: B- Backstage, Cody Rhodes had some choice words for Randy Orton in an old-school interview. Rhodes: Orton, before WrestleMania earlier this year, Legacy was the only thing keeping me away from kicking your ass. However, times change, and friends become enemies. I'll see you in the ring... Viper. Rating: B- Right afterwards, Orton gave out his rebuttal to Rhodes, in the next scene. Orton: You think you are not afraid of getting bitten by a viper? Cody, the Orton bloodline has been running for generations, and trust me when I say that you will never live up to your father's success, not that he actually had any. Rating: B- Brock Lesnar vs. Rey Mysterio In a match that had excellent in-ring action and a good crowd, Brock Lesnar defeated Rey Mysterio in 7:38 by pinfall with a F-5. Lesnar made Rey Mysterio look like his b***h in this match. Rating: B- So many B-'s in this show. Weird. Edge vs. Bad Bones - STEEL CAGE A month ago, Bad Bones suffered an injury (in kayfabe) that kept him out of action until now, where he gets his revenge towards Edge for the title he lost due to Rated RKO. What it also seemed was that Bones was slightly better than he was then, as he worked pretty damn well with Edge inside an isolating steel cage. However, he didn't try hard enough, as he ended up on the short end of the spear (no pun intended) and lost the match, even with Paul Heyman at his side. In a match that had excellent in-ring action and great heat from the audience, Edge defeated Bad Bones in a 1 vs 1 Cage Escape match in 7:36 when Edge escaped the cage. Rating: B Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton The match started off and ended strong, as Orton dominated Cody during some of it, but like other matches in the past, the ending was where it was at. Just as Randy Orton was pounding on the ground, preparing for the match-ending RKO, Paul Heyman came down to the ring, distracting Orton for a brief moment. The referee, Mike Chioda, was also distracted by Heyman's appearance, which allowed Paul to slide in a steel pipe that cody used to clock Orton with before slamming him with the Cross Rhodes, pinning him for the one-two-three, proving Raw GM Steve Austin wrong with his efforts. In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Cody Rhodes defeated Randy Orton in 9:45 by pinfall with a Cross Rhodes following interference from Paul Heyman. After the match, Paul Heyman announced Cody Rhodes as his "newest Paul Heyman Guy!", joining Benoit, Lesnar and Bad Bones in the increasing line of stars under Paul Heyman's wing. Rating: B- I need to figure out what "(motivation)" means most of the time, because it's almost always a negative factor in the Dirt Sheet tab of the matches. Stone Cold Steve Austin II and The Rock vs. CM Punk and Chris Jericho Stone Cold Steve Austin II and The Rock, being the co-captains of Monday Night Raw's star powered team, alongside Batista and Sting, are the top stars of the weekly episodic prime-time Wrestling show (for over 10 years), and their opposites obviously are the egotistial CM Punk and SmackDown team captain Chris Jericho, who has been given the responsibility of captain for the second time in a row, but this time, he's going solo. In a match that had excellent in-ring action and great heat from the audience, Stone Cold Steve Austin II and The Rock defeated CM Punk and Chris Jericho in 11:55 when Stone Cold Steve Austin II defeated Chris Jericho by pinfall with a Stone Cold Stunner. Rating: B Stone Cold II may have been a bit drunk tonight.

It seems like you're going all out with Superstars with title defenses and big matches, I wouldn't do that personally, not for a B show that's only drawing 0.4's. A few good shows there though, nice to see Cody and DiBiase getting a push, I was a fan of both before their momentum was killed off.

And yeah, I am truly trying to make Superstars a bit of a more important show, albeit more of the lower-card talent will be featured alongside top talent. DiBiase, I think, might be getting the bigger push than Cody, with possibly a world title reign soon, but Rhodes I also see becoming a champ. Others I have in the wings for a main event push are Christian, Ambrose, Daniel Bryan (who I should try to help work the crowd because in this mod, he kinda sucks) and maybe Colt Cabana or Shelton Benjamin, maybe more if people like Shawn Michaels and HHH decide to retire soon.

C </div></blockquote> Main Show To start off SmackDown, Joey Styles and Todd Grisham talked about the main event matches for tonight. Rating: B+ The matches revealed were: Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho vs. Sting and John Cena, B Undertaker vs. Batista B- and CM Punk in a handicap match against The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin II. B- The Joker vs. Seth Rollins In an extremely short match, The Joker defeated Seth Rollins in 4:32 by pinfall with The Last Laugh. Rating: C+ Shawn Michaels vs. Kaval Before the match, Shawn Michaels bragged that he was extremely confident that he will beat Ted DiBiase at Bragging Rights this Sunday, just as easily as he'll deal with the former Intercontinental Champion in Kaval right now. However, Kaval had much of a fight in him, as he smacked Michaels in the head a couple of times with some hard kicks in the corner, but Michaels caught Kaval in the end with a Sweet Chin Music after rolling out of a Warrior's Way attempt. In an extremely short match, Shawn Michaels defeated Kaval in 4:55 by pinfall with a Sweet Chin Music. Rating: B Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler vs. Charlie Haas and Dr. Wagner Jr. Just note, I won't usually be talking much about the matches scheduled that aren't involving a storyline. In an extremely short match, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre defeated Dr. Wagner Jr. and Charlie Haas in 5:05 when Drew McIntyre defeated Dr. Wagner Jr. by pinfall with a Snap Double Underhook DDT. Rating: C+ Backstage, Josh Matthews was with Stone Cold Steve Austin II, who pushed Matthews aside as he talked towards the camera. Austin II: Jericho, Punk, you know that I know that I hate both yer guts, and I will not hesitate to stomp a mudhole in the both of ya and stomp it dry, 'cause I'm one of two that will be leading Raw into a war this Sunday, and SmackDown can just go to Hell, and that's the bottom line 'cause Stone Cold said so! Rating: B+ Ted DiBiase vs. Shelton Benjamin Ted DiBiase has to build up his confidence, and his momentum, as he heads into Bragging Rights challenging the World Heavyweight Champion in the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels. Tonight, he has to deal with the Gold Standard Shelton Benjamin, who wants the World Heavyweight Championship just as much as the Fortunate Son does. In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Ted DiBiase defeated Shelton Benjamin in 7:15 by submission with the Million Dollar Dream. Rating: B- The Bragging Rights match between Undisputed Women's Champion Rainbow Dash and challenger Twilight Sparkle was hyped, with a stipulation of No Holds Barred added, meaning no disqualifications or count-outs. Rating: B- Rainbow Dash vs. Kelly Kelly vs. Angel Williams Dash was especially charismatic tonight, as she acted like a total show-off throughout the whole match, taking down both opposing divas with ease. In a bout that featured great action but not much in the way of heat, Rainbow Dash defeated Kelly Kelly and Angel Williams in 5:37 when Rainbow Dash defeated Angel Williams by pinfall with a Swanton Bomb. Rating: B+ Just so you know, this match was Eye Candy based. That should explain it. Bragging Rights's World Heavyweight Championship match between Shawn Michaels and Ted DiBiase was hyped again. Rating: B- The Hardyz vs. Dean Ambrose and Jack Swagger The tag team champions have been on quite a roll as of late, despite having had a lack of defenses for the title. Bragging Rights may possibly be an opportunity from some teams to try and take the titles off Team eXtreme. In a bout that featured great action but not much in the way of heat, The Hardyz defeated Jack Swagger and Dean Ambrose in 6:33 when Jeff Hardy defeated Dean Ambrose by pinfall with a Poetry in Motion. Rating: B- The Undertaker vs. Batista The first of three Bragging Rights preview matches, Undertaker and Batista collide, representing Team SmackDown and Raw respectively. In a superb bout that had great wrestling and a sizzling crowd, The Undertaker defeated Batista in 9:54 by pinfall with a Choke Slam. Rating: B+ Confirmation has concluded that Cody Rhodes, the newest Paul Heyman Guy, has been handed a spot in the WWE Championship title match at Bragging Rights, which also involves Edge, Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar, making him the darkhorse candidate for the upcoming match at Bragging Rights. Rating: B- Speaking of Edge, the Rated-R Champion was backstage, clearly unfazed by the latest news on his match at Bragging Rights. Edge: Really? Cody Rhodes is in the match now? The same guy who acts like a total pretty boy who wants to make his father proud? The same guy who is being backed by Paul Heyman of all people now? Look, Cody, you can act like you have some kind of power with that penguin at ringside, but just know you're looking at a guy who's dominated the ring several times in the past as WWE and World Heavyweight Champion, a guy who's a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match pioneer, and aside from you, you got another Heyman guy in Brock Lesnar, and a viper in Randy Orton, who helped me get the WWE Championship back after Night of Champions. At Bragging Rights, Raw will win, and you, Cody, and Brock Lesnar, will lose! Rating: B+ Sting and John Cena vs. Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit The second of the matches that may effect the Team Raw and Team SmackDown match at Bragging Rights and also the Champion vs. Champion match with John Cena and Chris Benoit in the mix. This time, it's a tag team match that is split between brands like usual during Bragging Rights season. In a bout that featured great action and great heat from the audience, Sting and John Cena defeated Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho in 11:09 when John Cena defeated Chris Jericho by pinfall with an Attitude Adjustment. Rating: B+ Scratch that. THIS is Sting's best match so far. Almost as if his declining ability did nothing to hurt this match. Stone Cold Steve Austin II and The Rock vs. CM Punk The odds are stacked against CM Punk in this inter-brand showdown with two Attitude Era superstars, and it clearly showed to be a disadvantage tonight, since Punk can only withstand so much punishment from the People's Champion and the 3:16 Second Coming (due to being the second Stone Cold in the world, third if you count Shark Boy's SCSA gimmick). In a match that had excellent in-ring action and great heat from the audience, Stone Cold Steve Austin II and The Rock defeated CM Punk in 11:11 when Stone Cold Steve Austin II defeated CM Punk by pinfall with a Stone Cold Stunner. Rating: B A little decline from the last match, but this needed to be the closing match for the evening. Overall Rating: B</div>

After much thought, I have ultimately decided that I will end my diary with Bragging Rights due to some mixed feedback. However, I will continue the game from then on, despite no longer having a diary.
