WWE 2010: A New Decade

[auto45]

 

This time is very special to me as it was when I would watch everything WWE put out. I want to take control and put my own spin on what they were doing at the time and fix somethings that I wasn't happy with. I will be doing a lot of things with WWE.com, since they were really pushing it every show back then.

 

A mainpage update will be posted every in-game week with updates around the company.

 

The poll for the first week is "Who will win ECW Homecoming?" which if you aren't familiar with, will be explained on the first ECW show.

Bret: "Well I guess Hell froze over."

 

The crowd continues to cheer for the five time WWE Champion.

 

Bret talks about how long its been since he's been in the WWE and how it feels to be back. He tells the fans that he has been trying to come back but Mr. McMahon wouldn't allow it.

HBK slowly walks down to the ring with an angry look on his face.

 

The two men stare down each other face to face.

 

Bret: "Shawn Michaels. I'll just call you Shawn. I think I'd like to take this opportunity right now to bury the hatchet with you, and call for a truce.

 

HBK: "First of all Hitman, before you come out here and get your closure, there's something I've been waiting twelve years to say to you. The fact is, you deserved what happened twelve years ago in Montreal."

 

The fans boo in disagreement and begin chanting "You screwed Bret!"

 

Shawn goes on to explain himself and how he has changed as a person. He says how he couldn't stand the sight of Bret back in the day. He changes his tone and begins praising Bret for their iron-man match in Anaheim, California and how good of a "sports entertainer" he is.

 

Shawn then says that he is also ready to bury the hatchet and move on.

 

HBK: "I guess all I have to say is: Are you sure? and Are you ready?"

 

Bret then explains that he is ready, and offers his hand out to HBK. After some deliberation, Shawn agrees and shakes his hand.

 

HBK begins to leave the ring, teases a Sweet Chin Music, but turns around and gives Bret a hug before leaving the ring.

 

As Shawn leaves, Bret has more to say.

 

Bret: "There's one more thing I want to ask, and I want one more person to come down. Vince McMahon, I know you're back there, and I want you to come down here and see me face to face too!"

 

He never comes out and the camera cuts away.

RAW comes back from commercial break after the action had begun. During the break, Mark Henry was taken out by Carlito by running him into the steel ring post outside the ring. Now in the ring, Carlito takes control of the match, throwing punches to both MVP and Swagger. Swagger reverses an Irish whip into a big powerslam, but MVP breaks up the pin attempt that comes after it. Swagger then takes the offense to MVP, and Carlito breaks up a pin attempt. The three in the ring take turns having control of the match until Mark Henry reenters and takes out all three competitors. Henry attempts a Bear Hug submission on Carlito, but Swagger breaks it up before Carlito is forced to tap. Henry turns on Swagger and locks him in a submission also, but this time MVP returns from being thrown out of the ring and breaks up the attempt with a huge dropkick. Swagger and Henry are taken out of the equation which gives MVP the opportunity to set Carlito up for the Playmaker and hits it. He covers him and hooks the leg. 1. 2. 3.

Segment Rating: 63

 

Overall Show Rating: 65

Obviously not a great rating, but the mod doesn't start with storylines with any heat and I couldn't generate enough storylines with heat before the end of the show, so that hurt the rating a lot. Next weeks RAW will definitely branch off from real life and start some new storylines. Hopefully I can pull these ratings back because with our popularity so high and the product restrictions it is going to be very hard to not lose popularity.

Schedule

 

So for a rough schedule: I'm going to at least get a few shows up a week. I'm not going to try and force myself to do a show everyday because I will get burnt out fast. Taking my time on shows and also playing some other saves will allow me to do my best work on the storylines.

[ElectricX]

I'm excited to see where you go with this. This is when I started watching wrestling so I have nostalgia for this era.

[Blodyxe]

Nice couple of shows man, really digging it. Started watching around the same time, so have extra interest

[Dawn]

This has the potential to be my favorite diary here, not gonna lie. Keep up the good stuff.

[The Nickman]

<p>This is a great start, well done.</p><p> </p><p>

I’m the opposite of most of you guys, 2010 is about the time I STOPPED watching wrestling.</p><p> </p><p>

This is probably the latest possible start date for a dynasty I’d still be invested in.</p>

ECW Homecoming Preview

Ezekiel Jackson and Vance Archer vs. Evan Bourne and Matt Hardy

 

 

A back and forth match for the most part. Each competitor had their moment to get some offense in. At one point, Bourne went for an Air Bourne but was caught by Vance Archer who flipped him over and hit his Snap Inverted DDT on him. The match ended when Jackson was setting up Hardy for The Book of Ezekiel but Valdimir Kozlov's music hit. Zeke dropped Hardy and looked up the ramp, which gave Matt time to turn him around and hit the Twist of Fate for the pin.

 

Evan Bourne and Matt Hardy defeated Ezekiel Jackson and Vance Archer in 10:44 when Matt Hardy pinned Ezekiel Jackson after a Twist of Fate after a distraction from Vladimir Kozlov.

ECW Homecoming Qualifying Match

Shelton Benjamin vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr.

 

 

This match was a great showing by the two men. Both of them showed their experience in the ring. One big moment in the match was when Shelton ducked a clothesline from Chavo and turned him around into a T-Bone Suplex into the middle turnbuckle. The match ended when Chavo set Shelton up for the Three Amigos. He hit one... then two... and when he picked him up for the third, Shelton flipped out of it and as soon as Chavo turned around, he hit him with the Paydirt for the 1. 2. 3.

 

Shelton Benjamin defeated Chavo Guerrero Jr. in 12:10 by pinfall with a Paydirt.

When ECW returns from commercial break, Tony Atlas is standing at the top of the ramp with a microphone stand.

 

 

Tony: "It's The Abraham Washington Show! Starring: Abraham Washington! Tonight, Abraham welcomes his guest, The Hurricane! And now, heeeeeeeeres Abe!"

 

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/308jIsBd-uA" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

 

 

Abe comes out to a very indifferent crowd, but he acts like its the biggest ovation he has ever seen. He talks up his show and an applause sign comes up on the screen. The crowd boos, but he acts like they are cheering. He then goes on to talk bad about the city they are in Brooklyn.

 

He cracks some jokes and Tony starts laughing.

 

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jNJ-Dj_VGRo?start=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

 

Abe: "But now I'd like to welcome my guest, the Heart and Soul of ECW, The Hurricane!"

 

Tony laughs.

 

 

Hurricane comes out to cheers from the fans. He is handed a mic by Abe and he immediately goes into his Hurricane shtick. Abe claims that the Hurricane isn't a real superhero, and needs to stop lying to the ECW fans. Hurricane gets upset by this, and stands up to defend himself. Abe continues to talk, but Hurricane slaps him across the face. The fans begin to cheer as Abe is almost crying in pain. Through all of this... Tony is still laughing.

ECW comes back from commercial break and it is time for the main event of the evening, CM Punk vs. Mark Henry.

 

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2tdioaQliQI?start=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

 

 

Mark Henry comes out to make his entrance. He makes his way down the ramp, but as he is about to get into the ring, Luke Gallows jumps over the barricade and attacks him.

 

 

CM Punk quickly runs down the ramp to join him.

 

 

They continue to beat up Henry, slamming him into the barricade and steel steps. Eventually, referees and agents rush down to the ring to break up the mess. Henry is unable to compete, so Punk wins the match on a forfeit.

 

Punk walks over and grabs a mic from the timekeepers area. He goes on about how last night he saw Henry at a hotel bar drinking. He says that he would not step into a ring with a possibly intoxicated person and risk injury.

 

Punk: "I am trying to show Mark Henry, and the rest of you people watching, that Straight Edge means that I am better than you."

 

Before Punk can finish up and leave, the General Manager of ECW, Tiffany, comes out to the top of the ramp.

 

 

She says that she will not allow this to happen, and in the opening match of next week, Punk will have to beat a mystery opponent in order to get in the ECW Homecoming main event. Punk and Gallows are furious and ECW ends with the camera on their upset faces.

Overall Show Rating: 61

Going to look at maybe a product change to get better show ratings, but I will test some things out before doing anything. Overall I am happy with the show. I broke off from real life a significant bit here because I had some ideas pop up. Testing out different kind of write up here that takes less time and will be easier to do more often. I will still definitely do the longer write ups on main shows, but let me know on opinions of these write ups.

 

 

Here is the poll from wwe.com. So now we know Shelton is advancing and you can replace Mark Henry with Punk's mystery opponent. Feel free to answer the poll as it gives me a feeling of what direction you all think I am going to go. Whoever gets the most polls correct within a certain time period will get a reward. I am thinking maybe give me a challenge of some sort, haven't quite figured out what I want to do with that yet.

 

Any feedback is always welcomed!

[The Nickman]

Hey man, another good show, and I actually prefer the shorter write ups, particularly for the matches.
