WWF Brand Extension: Ruthless Agression

Anthony88 · June 3, 2016

Hey there everybody,

So I have been reading a few diaries and I thought it would be fun to contribute one of my own. What I did was took a mod that began set in January of 2002 and booked it exactly as it happened up until Raw & Smackdown split into two separate brands.

This is where the story begins. It is the first Raw after the brand split. The very foundation of the World Wrestling Federation was shaken when it was announced that Raw and Smackdown would be split into two completely separate entities ran by "Nature Boy" Ric Flair & Vince McMahon respectively. Each show is filled with their own unique rosters.

Stay tuned for further information (rosters, champions, etc.)

Thanks!

Anthony88 · June 3, 2016

Just a quick note: You will notice that Hogan will only be appearing at PPV events. This is because when I attempted to sign him he was only willing to work PPV events. So it is going to be tough to include him in storylines with him only working the PPVs.

Thanks!

Ric Flair: "You two may have run roughshod in WCW but this is Monday Night Raw and that will not happen on the Nature Boy's watch."

Kevin Nash: "You don't scare us Flair. You may not want us to run this place but it's what we do and Raw will be no different."

Ric Flair: "Well I guess we will see about that. I told you two that I would draft somebody to keep you two at bay and tonight I use him. So tonight Scott, you will go one-on-one with the Big Red Machine... Kane!"

Scott Hall: "Yo, whatever man. You can put that big red moron in the ring with me and I will carve him up... nWo style!"

Undertaker interview (84 rating)

The Coach is set to interview Raw's #1 draft pick, The Undertaker. The American Bad Ass talks about how he is one goal right now and that is to win the WWF Undisputed Championship and he will have no problem beating Triple H or anybody for that matter to win that title.

Undertaker: "There ain't no one man on Raw or Smackdown! that can beat me. I am bigger, I am stronger, I am smarter... I don't just beat people, I end their career and if Triple H or anybody for that matter is holding MY Undisputed Championship - then their days are numbered."

IC Title Match: Big Boss Man vs. Rob Van Dam © (63 rating)

In a pretty good match for the Intercontinental Championship, the Big Boss Man attempts to resurrect his career by winning the prestigious title from Rob Van Dam.

With RVD writhing in pain on the mat, Goldust grabs a microphone and lays down next to the fallen Intercontinental Champion.

Justin Credible & Steven Richards vs. The Hardy Boyz (65 rating)

In a surprisingly nice back and forth contest, Justin Credible & Steven Richards took on The Hardy Boyz.

HHH: "... However I proved everybody wrong because not only did I come back sooner than predicted but I came back stronger and better than ever before because this WWF Undisputed Championship over my shoulder proves it."

The Undertaker than interrupts the champ and walks out onto the stage. Taker reiterates what he said earlier in the night when he will beat whomever is holding the gold because it is his destiny to become Undisputed Champion.

Undertaker: "Triple H, you may be holding the gold right now but you aren't the real champion... I am the true champion and when I get my chance I will beat your ass and you will respect The Undertaker."

Big Show interview (78 rating)

The Big Show is interviewed by Terri. Big Show shares his disgust for what the nWo did earlier in the night to Kane and that he will not stand for anymore of their antics.

After his victory over Shawn Stasiak, Bubba Ray Dudley is celebrating his victory when out of nowhere he is blindsided by a clothesline to the back of the head from the newcomer - Brock Lesnar!

European Title Match: D'Lo Brown vs. William Regal © (57 rating)

Former European Champion, D'Lo Brown attempted to regain the gold from the current European Champion, William Regal. Before the match Regal was checked for brass knuckles by the referee. The match had some great back and forth action allowing both D'Lo and Regal to get some big moves in. It seemed as though D'Lo was going to once again become European Champion however when the referee was accidentally knocked out by D'Lo, this allowed William Regal to pull a pair of brass knuckles from one of the turnbuckle pads and lay out D'Lo Brown for the 1 2 3.

Winner: William Regal via pinfall at 8:26

nWo backstage segment (80 rating)

Kevin Nash & Scott Hall - the nWo - are shown backstage in their locker room. They gloat and laugh about what has transpired over the course of the night. From their confrontation with Ric Flair, to their attack on Kane, to numerous superstars calling them out, to Scott Hall's main event match against Kane later tonight.

Kevin Nash: "Can you believe everybody getting their panties in a bunch? It's just like the good ol' days in WCW... we are the talk of the town, we run this place and tonight you take care of that big red freak."

Scott Hall: "It doesn't matter whether Flair has an A, B, D, E or Z plan... there is nothing he will be able to do to stop us. And when our friend gets here next week... it's really over. As for Kane tonight... I bet the big fried doofus doesn't even show up. And if he does... we take him out for good!"

Paul Heyman & Brock Lesnar interview (72 rating)

Terri is standing backstage with Paul Heyman. Heyman says that he knew when he saw his new client that he would be the next big thing in the WWF. With those words, the monstrous Brock Lesnar steps in behind Paul and Terri. Heyman goes on to say that it will start with Paul Heyman but that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Paul Heyman: "Just look at this man standing behind me. It is not just a right, not just a privilege but it is his DESTINY to be the WWF Undisputed Champion and in no time at all you will see that gold around the waist of the next big thing... BROCK LESNAR!!"

Scott Hall vs. Kane (70 rating)

The main event was up next which was scheduled to be Scott Hall vs. Kane. The nWo came out first to a chorus of boos. They talked to each other fully expecting Kane not to show up for the main event. Suddenly the pyro goes off and Kane's music hits. After a couple of minutes the music faded out... maybe Kane isn't going to show. Hall & Nash laugh as they now know that Kane is not going to appear. Just when they spoke to soon the pyro goes off again and Kane's music his... and Kane appears!! Kane walks down to the ring with an obvious limp. The match was a decent back and forth between Scott Hall and Kane where Kane does his best to overpower Hall despite being attacked earlier in the night.

It appeared as though Kane was going to put Scott Hall away with a chokeslam when he wrapped his hand out Hall's throat. However, Kevin Nash got up on the apron and distracted the referee which allowed Scott Hall to kick Kane below the belt and deliver an Outsider's Edge for a cheap victory.

Winner: Scott Hall via pinfall at 12:07

nWo attack Kane (85 rating)

Following the cheap win by Scott Hall, the nWo begin to put the boots to the fallen monster. It seems as though all hope is lost until...

WELL IT'S THE BIG SHOW!!!

The crowd erupts as the Big Show runs as fast as he can down the ramp and slides into the ring. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall exit the ring quickly as Big Show yells at the nWo to come on back and then checks on Kane as the show ends.

Final Show Rating: 78

Notes: The show increased the WWF's popularity in 8 regions and lost popularity in 11 regions.

It was time for the Kurt Angle vs. Edge match. There was some hatred between the two after their friendship fell through months ago. The match itself was very good and high paced with great action. Kurt Angle used some underhanded tactics and it seemed as though Angle may be able to steal a victory however when Kurt Angle applied the Ankle Lock, Edge was able to roll through and hit Angle with an Edgecution for the win.

Winner: Edge via pinfall at 13:59

Big Show Down & Out - nWo look on (80 rating)

WWF Tag Team Title Match - Billy & Chuck w/ Rico vs. The Hardy Boyz (64 rating)

The WWF Tag Team Champions, Billy & Chuck make their way to the ring with their stylist Rico. They do not know who is challenging them for the Tag Team titles. They looked shocked and the crowd goes crazy when the theme music of Matt & Jeff, The Hardy Boyz, plays throughout the arena. The Hardy Boyz run down to the ring and the fight is on. The match is fast paced and back and forth throughout. It appears that the Hardyz are set to win the Tag Team titles once again when they begin some great double team maneuvers however with the distraction of Rico, Chuck is able to hit Jeff Hardy with a foreign object and use the ropes for leverage for the 1 2 3.

Winners: Billy & Chuck via pinfall at 10:21

Hollywood Hogan & Vince McMahon backstage segment (84 rating)

Hollywood Hogan is shown backstage getting a cup of coffee when he is approached by Vince McMahon. The two stare each other down before Vince calls Hogan a coward. He tells Hogan that he gets drafted by Smackdown! and doesn't have the decency or respect to show up for work. Hogan tells McMahon that he does not respect him however he does respect the WWF and the WWF fans. Hogan goes on to say that the reason he wasn't on Smackdown! was because of personal family issues at home.

Vince McMahon: "You're a liar Hogan! You are a coward but I will tell you what - I will give you one more chance. You show up this Thursday night on Smackdown! or I will suspend you without pay and give you a reason to not show up!"

Hollywood Hogan: "Oh, I'll be there this Thursday - don't you worry. What you should worry about is the main event tonight because if you do what I think you're going to do and stick your nose in the match then I will just have to come down and take you out of it BROTHER!!"

nWo vs. Kane & Big Show video package (75 rating)

A video package plays showing the recent issues between the Kane, the Big Show & the nWo including the nWo beating up Kane this past week on Raw.

nWo vs. Kane - handicap match (74 rating)

The nWo make their way down to the ring for what is scheduled to be a tag team match but with the Big Show being taken out earlier in the night the match is definitely in jeopardy. The pyro goes off and Kane makes his way to the ring as the ring announcer makes the announcement that the Big Show was taken to a local hospital and this match is now a 2-on-1 handicap match much to the delight of Kevin Nash & Scott Hall.

The match itself was more even than you would expect being a handicap match. Kane was able to hold his own for the majority of the match. The tide swung in the court of the nWo when the referee was taken out and X-PAC made his way down to the ring. X-Pac, clearly the newest member of the nWo low blows Kane which allows Scott Hall to hit Kane with an Outsider's Edge for the cheap win.

Winners: nWo via pinfall at 11:41

The Rock interview (86 rating)

The Rock is interviewed by The Coach. Coach attempts to ask a question however The Rock cuts him off and tells him to go fetch The Rock a coffee. The Rock then conducts a promo saying that The Undertaker thinks he can just intimidate Vince McMahon and Ric Flair into giving him a WWF Undisputed Championship match. He goes on to say that he will beat The Undertaker tonight and become #1 contender for the Undisputed Title.

The Rock: "Undertaker, you big tattooed roody poo candy ass! You think that just because you're 'The American Bad Ass' that you deserve a shot at the WWF Undisputed Title?! Try beating the icon Hollywood Hogan at Wrestlemania and then come talk to The Rock. Tonight I will do what The Rock does best and that's lay the smackdown on your big tattooed candy ass and tonight, just as I said to your face... I will make you The Rock's personal American Bad Ass Bitch!! IF YA SMELLLLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN!!!"

The Undertaker vs. The Rock (79 rating)

In a match made earlier in the night, The Undertaker went one-on-one with The Rock in which the winner of the match would be next in line for a shot at the WWF Undisputed Championship. The match was amazing and the crowd was hot as The Undertaker and The Rock put on a spectacle that you would imagine they would deliver. The fight spilled outside the ring and it looked like The Rock was set to become #1 contender when he set The Undertaker up for the Rock Bottom however the wily veteran Undertaker hit the referee "inadvertently". This allowed Chris Jericho to run to the ring and hit The Rock with a steel chair which set The Undertaker up to Tombstone The Rock for the victory and the #1 contendership to the WWF Undisputed Championship.

Winner: The Undertaker via pinfall at 16:01

Chris Jericho interview (80 rating)

OF THE WORLD! Tonight I right all the wrongs in the WWF when I beat you fair and square and win back MY Undisputed Championship, JUNIOR!!"

A video package plays hyping up the next match which is Triple H defending his WWF Undisputed Championship against Chris Jericho. It highlights Triple H winning the Royal Rumble and the match in which he beat Y2J for the championship at Wrestlemania.

WWF Undisputed Title Match - Chris Jericho vs. Triple H (86 rating)

In a rematch from Wrestlemania X8 where Triple H won the Undisputed Championship from Chris Jericho, The Game defends his title against Y2J. The match was incredible and the crowd as absolutely on fire the whole way through. The match surpassed even what they did at Wrestlemania and it kept everybody on the edge of their seats. On numerous occasions Jericho attempted to use underhanded tactics to win back the title however Triple H was able to thwart off every cheap attempt by Y2J. We even saw Vince McMahon attempt to get involved and cost his son-in-law Triple H the championship. This made Hollywood Hogan make his way down and fight off Vince McMahon. The ending of the match saw Chris Jericho attempt to use a steel chair on The Game however Triple H countered into a spinebuster and followed it up with a Pedigree for a successful title defense.

Winner: Triple H via pinfall at 19:41

The Undertaker attacks The Game (84 rating)

After a successful defense of the WWF Undisputed Championship, Triple H was celebrating when he was blindsided by the new #1 contender to the title - The Undertaker. The Undertaker obliterated the champion with numerous chokeslams and chair shots leaving the Undisputed Champion down and out as the pay-per-view came to a close.

Final Show Rating: 83

Note: The show increased the WWF's popularity in 25 regions.

Hey everybody,

So I have put up Raw, Smackdown! and Backlash following the brand split. Raw and Smackdown! were pretty good and I think the pay-per-view was quite successful.

I am going to take a short break and I hope to hear some feedback if anybody is reading. Please let me know what you like, what you want to see changed or added, etc.

I am already enjoying booking the WWF following the brand split and I hope that it only gets better from here.

Thank you and enjoy!
