- Zero improvements for Shawn Stasiak. Everyone else in the main event had 80+ ratings and he had 35. He autopushes to main eventer and gets mad for losing. I will be releasing him after few shows.</p><p>

- 5-match series will come to end next show. Not decided yet who will be winning.</p><p>

- Sean Waltman & Jerry Lynn had strong friendship in the game and Sean was released from WCW. So I had to get him to be Lynn's partner.</p>

It's cool to see the show ratings creep up week on week, despite the production penalty. X-Pac is a great addition to the roster too. There's definitely a lot you can do with him going forward.

I do have enough money for production upgrades but I am waiting for a tv deal before that. Hopefully, I get one soon.

Notes:

- Three great matches in the show. Sabu & Jerry Lynn has never had bad match in this series. They and Lance Storm are the MVPs.

- I am thinking of getting another title for lower card guys. Maybe a lightweight title.

Week 2, September 1998</p><p> </p><p>

- Preshow: William Regal defeated Justin Credible in 8 mins. <strong>66</strong></p><p> </p><p>

(Last show, Sabu was given a chance to earn back his #1 contendership in a match against William Regal. But the match ended when Tommy Dreamer accidentally hit Regal while he was attacking Shane and Lance Storm. That meant Tommy Dreamer cost Sabu his #1 contendership for the NXT World Championship.)</p><p> </p><p>

- Sabu is in the ring with a mic. Sabu cuts a promo on the last show's incident. He says Tommy is a good friend who he has known for a long time.

Right now, he is here to ask Shane to stop playing games & give him his contractually obligated rematch. Shane comes out with William Regal and Lance Storm. Shane says Sabu did get screwed by Tommy Dreamer last show. So, he will give him another chance. Sabu will face Tommy Dreamer for #1 contendership. Shane says they'll see if Tommy does the right thing and let Sabu get the win. <strong>78</strong></p><p> </p><p>

- The Suicide Blondes defeated Mistico & Spike in 10 mins. <strong>73</strong></p><p> </p><p>

- Beulah interviews the former NXT Tag Team Champions, The Dudley Boyz. She asks them about their loss last show. They say that they were caught off guard by Lynn and Waltman.

(Main Event)</p><p> </p><p>

- <strong>#1 contender:</strong> Sabu drew with Tommy Dreamer in 20 mins when Shane, Regal and Lance attacked both of them. <strong>79</strong></p><p> </p><p>

- In the beginning of the match, Tommy laid down for Sabu. When Sabu pinned him, Tommy kicked out at the very last moment. Then, both of them went for the win as both of them wanted the NXT World Championship. Shane's plan worked as Sabu and Tommy hit each other with every move they knew. In the end, Shane, Regal & Lance come out and attacked both Sabu and Tommy to end the match in a double DQ. Shane stand tall with Regal and Lance as the show ends. <strong>75</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Show Rating - 66</strong> (production penalty)</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Notes: </p><p>

- Next few shows will have less storylines as almost all of our feuds ended or are going to end. </p><p>

- The Island Boys are good for angles but not much for matches. Exactly opposite to Noble/Hayashi.</p>
