Trish looked in good form and was odds on for the win until Mickie James hit the ring but in a bizarre twist it wasn’t Trish she went for but Melissa [B]Winner Trish Stratus in 4:49 Rating: B-[/B] [B]Dark Match 2: Road Dogg, X-Pac, Billy Gunn and Melina Vs. Torrie Wilson, Paul Burchill, William Regal and Eugene[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/roaddogg.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/xpac.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/billygunn.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/melina.jpg[/IMG] Vs.

The groups understanding gave them a comfortable victory against the misfit grouping of regal, Eugene and burchill.

[IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/tajiri.jpg[/IMG] CM Punk looked very nervy during this encounter. Tajirir took full advantage of this weakness and pounded the on form grappler with his patented martial arts kicks. I think CM was expecting a visit from the big show in this bout but the 7 foot giant did not show and consequently CM Punk was able to execute the Pepsi plunge for the win [B]Winner CM Punk in 10:19 Rating: B[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/reymysterio.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/cmpunk.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/samoajoe.jpg[/IMG] [I]Rey Mysterio is shown walking backstage when he bumps into CM Punk who is heading back to the locker room following his match. Out of no-where CM Punk lays Rey out with a punch to the face he ties Rey up in a full nelson and then Joe appears from around the corner carrying hair spray. He sprays it in the eyes of Mysterio who screams in agony the two of them hear a noise an hightail it leaving mysterio bruised and battered.[/I] [B]Match 2: Gangrel Vs. D’Von[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/gangrel.jpg[/IMG] Vs. [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/dvon.jpg[/IMG] This match turned into a bit of a farce as vampiro and Bubba ray had accompanied there partners to ringside and interfered at every given opportunity. So much so the ref ruled the bout a non-contest. [B]Winner Draw in 12:46 Rating: C+[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/reymysterio.jpg[/IMG] [I]Rey Mysterio is shown backstage in a doctors office. His eyes are sore and he is clearly in a sorry state after the beating he just took. [B]Rey Mysterio:[/B] "Joe you wanna attack me with cheap shot after cheap shot, well im gonna end your career before its even started this week at genesis I want your career!”[/I] [B]Match 3: Vampiro Vs. Bubba ray Dudley[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/vampiro.jpg[/IMG] Vs. [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/bubba.jpg[/IMG] Due to the shambolic 1st singles encounter stone cold made himself guest referee and banned the partners from ringside – the match turned into a belter with both wrestlers giving it there all before Bubba hit the Bubba cutter for the 3 count. If that happens at Genesis it could mean the end of the cults impressive title reign! [B]Winner Bubba ray Dudley in 13:13 Rating C[/B] [B]Match 4: The Rock Vs. Mick Foley Vs. Kane for entry into the 6 man battle royal number one contender match at Genesis[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/therock.jpg[/IMG] Vs.

[IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/kane.jpg[/IMG] Foley and Kanes recent alliance was evident here as the pair went to work on the Rock, Rocky has been in far too many 2 on 1 situations of late and it is beginning to take its toll. Foley took the rock over the ring apron with a cactus clothesline which backfired as the great one took his opportunity. The Rock managed to reverse Foleys irish whip and send him into the steel stairs kane came at the Rock and attempted to chokeslam but the rock countered with a Rock bottom. The pinfall was inevitably broken up by Randy Orton who belted the Rock with a chair and draped kane over him for the win. [B]Winner Kane in 18:47 Rating: A[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/therock.jpg[/IMG] [I]The Rock is show backstage following his match he looks livid [B]The Rock:[/B] “Randy Orton, you wanna come out here and interfere in the Rocks business, cost the rock his shot at being number 1 contender, well the Rock says this. Why don’t you bring your monkey ass to Genesis? The Rock Vs. Randy Orton and the Rock can show Randy Orton what its like to be killed by a legend!”[/I] [B]Main Event: Brock Lesnar Vs. Shawn Michaels[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/brocklesnar.jpg[/IMG] Vs. [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/shawnmichaels.jpg[/IMG] A classic bout between two really popular workers. No interference just two talented workers giving it there all. Brock Lesnar took the spoils and sent a message to Christian when he finished off HBK with a moonsault. [B]Winner Brock Lsnar in 26:27 Rating: A*[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/stonecold.jpg[/IMG] [I]No sooner had the main event finished then Stone Colds music kicked in. [B]Stone Cold:[/B] “Now I know that everyone here was looking forward to getting home but stone cold Steve Austin has a couple of things need addressing. First of im sorry Rey but there is no way I can put two pink slip matches on my PPV, it just aint happening” crowd boo “So instead were gonna have a pink slip on a pole tag match. That’s right seeing as CM Punk and Riki…..sorry rosi……I mean…..Samoa Joe like to beat people up so much there gonna be fighting for the careers against Rey Mysterio and the 500lb big Show. Secondly, I aint gonna wait for that meely mouth bastard Randy Orton to respond to the Rock, im making the damn match. We are gonna have the Rock Vs. Randy Orton one on one and seeing as retirement is becoming a theme for this pay per view it an I-Quit match. And Finally, RVD and I have been talking about how him facing off with HBK, Shawn Michaels is going to be a classic and we decided to make it an extreme classic. So its gonna be HBK versus RVD in a ladder match and that’s the bottom line ‘cos Stone Cold said so!”[/I] [B]Rating: A Attendance: 8657 Viewers: 585,276[/B] [B]Bookers Notes:[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/panix.jpg[/IMG] I was delighted to get an A for this card, especially with the amount of angles it had in it! Unfortunatly I discovered that bubba and vampire don’t click and neither do gangrel and d’von so my ppv tag match is gonna suck! The Brock Vs. HBK match was particularly good. Im gonna start to experiment and see what lower card peeps brock can drag an A out of. Im looking forward to my PPV debut I have got some relly good matches on the card and an extra hour to fill!

[B]Hulk Hogan:[/B] “welcome to Genesis. Now im sure you all heard what Simon Dean had to say for himself the other night on RAW, so come on Simon get out here and I will prove to you just how hardcore the hulkster gets” after a brief pause Hogan is somewhat surprised to hear Sabu’s music playing. Sabu is dressed in his ring gear and looks ready for a fight, he rushes the ring and starts landing punches on Hogan a bell is rung and it looks like an impromptu match is underway![/I] [B]Dark Match 1: Sabu Vs. Hardcore Hulk Hogan[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/sabu.jpg[/IMG] Vs. [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/hulkhogan.jpg[/IMG] Sabu has not had much air time since ECW’s launch and he really didn’t stand a chance against a fired up hulkster. The bad side to that is that Hogan didn’t get chance to use his hulking up ‘spot’ the bright side is he did have chance to batter Sabu halfway to death with a chair whilst shouting ‘whos hardcore?”, “what does he mean manboobs?” and my personal favourite “I’ll give him protein shakes” [B]Winner in 1:55 Hardcore Hulk Hogan Rating B[/B] [B]Dark Match 2: Mick Foley Vs.

Foley slowly wore Goldberg out with his fired up hardcore offence. Goldberg made a brief spirited comeback but Mick took him by surprise with the mandible claw. [B]Winner Mick Foley in 9:55 Rating: A[/B] [I]The show kicked off with the pay-per-views theme tune “naïve” by the kooks.

All the crowds reaction suggests it was a little too long for what should have been just an eye candy match (as reported to me by road agent Terry Funk) these girls have been fighting for the title for weeks now and didn’t dis-appoint when given the main card opportunity at a ppv. Mickie James got the pin on Trish which was probably harsh on Melissa who looked strong throughout. [B]Winner Mickie James in 11:25 Rating C[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/theundertaker.jpg[/IMG] [I]The titantron comes on and shows images of an enrages undertaker storming around backstage picking up anything he can find and throwing it in temper.

[IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/abyss.jpg[/IMG] Tajiri could well have considered himself unlucky to get caught in the middle of the recent feud between Rhino and Abyss but he actually peformed very well and managed to pick up a surprise victory catching Abyss with his trademark mist to the face and locking in an octopus stretch for the victory. The beatdown that Rhino handed Abyss after the match suggest that this rivalry is in no way through yet. [B]Winner Tajiri in 11:52 Rating B-[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/abyss.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/stonecold.jpg[/IMG] [I]Abyss is seen talking to Steve Austin explaining he is in no fit condition to take part in the 6-way number one contender match.

The high point of the match was bubba ray’s adapted bubba cutter on Vampiro from the top turnbuckle. It looked like that would sew up the match until big Viscera came tearing down the ramp and caught Bubba with a chair shot as he tried to exit the cage. What business does Viscera have with this match? Either way it helped the cult retain there titles as Vampiro finally joined D’von and gangrel outside the cage. [B]Winner The Cult in 5:41 Rating B-[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/stonecold.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/theundertaker.jpg[/IMG] [I]The titantron again turned its attention to the undertaker who had stopped throwing his wait around and was kneeling in prayer by the side of a coffin. Steve Austin approached [B]Stone cold:[/B] “what the hell are you doin taker?” his response came in the form of a chokeslam into the casket. The lid fell shut and undertaker hammered in a few nails for good measure before attacking the camera that was filming his heinous actions.[/I] [B]Match 4: Ladder match for the ECW TV title Rob Van Dam Vs. Shawn Michaels[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/ECWtvtitle.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/robvandam.jpg[/IMG] Vs. [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/shawnmichaels.jpg[/IMG] There was a lot of talk about these competitors putting on a wrestling classic in this sort of enviroment and neither man disappointed Shawn Micahels put on a master class of style and finesse as he tried to best RVD, but Van Dam’s hardcore roots were evident as he made good use of the ladder. He finishe off Michaels with a five star frog splash from the top of the ladder to the outside of the ring! After pulling the title from the rafters RVD celebrated in the ring until Michaels regained consciousness. The two of them squared up to eatch other but Michaels extended his hand and as a mark of respect RVS shook it. HBK then lifted Van Dam’s hand in celebration. [B]Winner Rob Van Dam in 21:45 Rating A[/B] [B]Match 5: Tag team pink slip on a pole match Big Show and Rey Mysterio Vs. Samoa Joe and CM Punk[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/BigShow.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/reymysterio.jpg[/IMG] Vs.

This was mirrored somewhat in the fantastic talent of there opponents Samoa Joe looked like he could be a dominant force in Extreme Championship Wrestling as he took it to the big show unloading on him with chops that nearly split his skin they were so hard. But it was CM Punk who won the match using the ladder that was still at ringside from the earlier ladder match and jumping roughly 9 feet to take hold of the slip that secures there future with ECW. [B]Winner CM Punk and Samoa Joe in 9:33 Rating B-[/B] [I]HBK, Kane, Raven, Benoit and Edge all stood in the ring awaiting the 6th entrant would it be Goldberg? Perhaps Mick Foley? No the music hit and the whole audience went banana it was AJ Styles![/I] [B]Match 6: Number 1 contender match 6 man elimation – Shawn Michaels Vs. Raven Vs. Chris Benoit Vs. Kane Vs. Edge Vs. AJ Styles[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/shawnmichaels.jpg[/IMG] Vs. [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/raven.jpg[/IMG] Vs.

[IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/ajstyles.jpg[/IMG] In a classic if somewhat short bout Chris Benoit and kane were the 1st competitors eliminated both being counted out as they brawled through the audience. Apparently Kane is still resentful that Benoit made him tap out last week. Raven was next to go. Falling foul to the styles clash. Unfortunately for the rookie he turned around after defeating raven only to be caught by a spear by Edge and then there were two! Shawn Michaels appeared to be gathering momentum against the ‘rated R superstar’ until he hit a DDT on edge and jumped into place preparing for the sweet chin music. Out of no-where Mick Foley appeared brandishing the same barbed wire bat that had injured HBK earlier in the month. Apparently Foley hadn’t let sleeping dogs lie after HBK had cost him his TV title shot against RVD and Goldberg. The assult though brief was enough to cost a tiring Michaels the match and crown Edge as the new number one contender. [B]Winner Edge in 12:34 Rating A[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/satcykiebler.jpg[/IMG] [I]Stacy Kiebler made her way to the ring and welcomed the ECW audience she performed a special extended tee-shirt shoot.[/I] [B]Match 7: I Quit match The Rock Vs. Randy Orton[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/therock.jpg[/IMG] Vs. [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/randyorton.jpg[/IMG] After weeks of cheap shots and screw jobs the man had a point to prove against Randy Orton and he was drawing on all of his previous I Quit experience. After 5 or so minutes of back and forth technical wrestling the rock hit a samoan drop on Orton and pulled out a pair of handcuffs, business was about to pick up. The two workers grappled for a couple of minutes trying to cuff each other before in-explicably they handcuffed themselves together. The two workers came up with several innovative spots whilst handcuffed together. One of which saw Orton on the ring apron and the Rock inside the ring, Orton grabbed hold of the cuffs and threw himself to the ground yanking the rock over the top rope and down to the floor. Eventually the Rock managed to get the cuffs off and followed up with a ruthless attack on Orton with a chair. The match was ruled in Rocks favour when the ref stopped it. Orton never said I Quit but was in no state to speak and so the Rock was declared the winner. [B]Winner The Rock in 15:56 Rating: A[/B] [B]Main Event: ECW Heavyweight title Brock Lesnar Vs. Christian[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/ECWworld.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/brocklesnar.jpg[/IMG] Vs. [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/christiancage.jpg[/IMG] It was going to be difficult for this match to exceed the quality in the previous bout but it managed to equal it and exceed it. It wasn’t a bloody battle like the previous match it was just an interesting match up with several twist and turns and several false finishes in the end Brock was just way too much for captain charisma who lost to submission when the brock lock caused him to have his arm raised and dropped 3 times. [B]Winner Brock Lesnar in 19:43 Rating A*[/B] [B]Rating: A Attendance: 21,292 Buy rats: 336,685[/B] [B]Bookers notes:[/B] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g211/panix_uk04/panix.jpg[/IMG] I feel so proud, my first PPV and im really happy with it! Lots of twists and turns. A couple of rivalrys settled and a couple set up for next month and Brock Lesnar as my champ! Its all good! CM punk’s recommended push is now an upper mid-card and he wants main event status which has happened a lot quicker than I’d anticipated! So it may not be too long before he finds himself with a strap. Also due to the heidenreich challenge Panix Storm AKA me will soon be appearing on ECW. [B]Next week (predictions and/or ratings welcome)[/B] Hardcore Hulk Hogan open hardcore challenge – guess who is gonna take on the wrestling icon’s open challenge this week The New age Outlaws Vs. The Cult – on a high from there first PPV win the cult take on the popular degeneration X lads. Mick Foley Vs. Shawn Michaels – HBK has revenge on his mind following Foley costing him a title shot at Genesis Edge Vs. Randy Orton – Fresh off becoming number one contender Edge takes on Randy Orton following Ortons loss to the Rock at Genesis The Rock Vs. Brock Lesnar Vs. AJ Styles – AJ gets welcomed to the big league squaring off against one of wrestlings top drawing stars of all time and the current ECW champ.

Jobbing Sabu in less than 2 minutes? That I just can't agree with. How can that possibly happen under an ECW banner? Other than that, the show was good but, damn, that's just not right. Quote The Raven Nevermore

[panix04]

because Sabu's push is rated as enhancement talent - if you cant squah a jobber who can you squash? In real life i would never let it happen, but then in real life i dont think hulk hogan would be facing sabu in an impromtu hardcore match either! I know people have been critical about my running of ECW but it is the ratings i get that count and at the moment as you will see from the monthly summary post i have been competive!

[/B][SIZE="6"][B]RAW IS COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM THE BANGOR ARENA, IN BANGOR, MAINE!![/B][/SIZE] [I]*This diary will unfortunately be sans pictures, as photobucket seems to be undergoing some sort of maintenence*[/I] [B]HEaT: GENE SNITSKY vs. BILLY KIDMAN[/B] Kidman has looked pretty solid in recent weeks...wrestling some high quality matches against solid opponents. But tonight his opponnent was a pissed off 300 pound monster, who came to take care of business. Kidman simply got overpowered and lost to a massive pumphandle slam from Snitsky. Could this be a message to MNM? [B]WINNER AT 3:44 GENE SNITSKY RATING: C-[/B] [B]HEaT JOHNNY NITRO vs. THE GODFATHER[/B] Snitsky had his match...now MNM's Johnny Nitro gets a match on HEat...his opponent? The Godfather!! Yes, the Godfather dusts off his old wrestling boots here on HEaT...and makes his entrance complete with the finest hos Maine has to offer. The man who is making a solid living for himself as Color Commentator on Uncut looked as good as ever out there against Nitro...but eventually youth got the better of the aging Godfather as Nitro picked up a victory...looks as if Godfather should stick to commentary every Friday night! [B]WINNER AT 6:02 JOHNNY NITRO RATING: B[/B] [I]A vignette is shown of an amatuer wrestling match...then it cuts to a man hoisting the NCAA wrestling championship. Then the man appears and says "You want a true man beast? I'm [B]Sylvester Terkay [/B]and I'm coming to RAW"[/I] HEaT ends with [B]Simon Dean[/B] on the microphone [B]Simon:[/B] Hulk Hogan...impressive show at that PPV beating Sabu, I must say. You've proven me wrong....you ARE Hardcore. No....wait....no you haven't because you still have manboobs...you still used steroids to get where you are...AND on top of that you are a disgrace to Extreme Championship Wrestling. Not many people know this...but prior to my career as a fitness guru and inventor of the finest fitness products worldwide I went by the name of Nova. I was a member of the bWo...a TRUE ECW wrestler. So, you wanna see hardcore, huh? Next week...Simon Dean makes his exit, and Nova returns. [B]The main show starts with Alex Shelley backstage.[/B] [B]Alex:[/B] Ladies and gentlemen tonight is the night that the Light Heavyweight Division makes its first step towards change. After I defeat the "Prince of Poof"...I will march straight into Summerslam in two weeks and take that title off of Gregory Helms. [B]MATCH 1: ALEX SHELLEY vs. SHANNON MOORE[/B] Quite a good match right here between two excellent wrestlers...back and forth action...but throughout it seemed that Alex Shelley seemed a little bit more fired up...and just a little bit stronger all around. Alex caught Shannon witht he shellshock for a hardearned victory. Alex Shelley will have a Light Heavyweight title shot at Summerslam! [B]WINNER AT 12:01 ALEX SHELLEY RATING:C+[/B] After the match [B]Greg Helms[/B] appears on screen. [B]Helms:[/B] Impressive victory, Alex, but you have NEVER faced anybody with the sheer talent I posess. At Summerslam I will kick your ass worse than it has ever been kicked before. You think I'm overrated? Ask the Hardies...they are in hospitals somewhere in North Carolina right now...and I'll see to it that you join them. [I]Paul London comes out and makes an open challenge to anyone in the back, saying that after Summerslam he will be coming for that Light Heavyweight Championship, his call is answered by Kid Kash, who begs to differ.[/I] [B]MATCH 2: PAUL LONDON vs. KID KASH[/B] Another solid match right here...Paul London....motivated to prove that he is better than what his performances have shown in recent weeks looked like a man on a mission...which was most unfortunate for Kid Kash as Paul won the match. Afterwards, Brian Kendrick came out to congratulate him, but london superkicked his head off. What motivated him to do that? [B]WINNER AT 7:09 PAUL LONDON RATING: C+ [/B] [I]Backstage, we see Joey Mercury in his dressing room, when all of the sudden we hear heavy breathing and the lighting of the room becomes Gold...Mercury tries to leave but GOldust appears and does his biting taunt at him...Mercury looks disgusted.[/I] [B]MATCH 3: GOLDUST vs. JOEY MERCURY[/B] Solid math right here...prior to the match we are informed by the announcers that if Goldust is able to take this match....he and Snitsky get a title shot at Summerslam. Mercury tried many times to get DQed in this matchup, but Goldust succeeded in Shattering his Dreams and picking up a win, gaining a title opportunity for his team at Summerslam. [I]Next up we have Matt Striker, who informs us that Carlito would have gotten a sound thrashing if he had behaved as he did last Friday in Matt Striker's class.[/I] [B]MATCH 4: MATT STRIKER vs. AMERICAN DRAGON[/B] Dragon finally makes his televised debut!! And he looked very solid out there, taking the more established Striker to the limit in an excellent match. Striker, however, got the upperhand in the match, and looked as if he would win...until Carlito came out. Next thing Striker knew he fell victim to the Dragon Suplex for a shocking upset for the American Dragon. THe consequences of this match are that Striekr will meet Carlito at Summerslam. [B]WINNER AT 6:06 AMERICAN DRAGON RATING:C+[/B] [I]Mr. Kennedy and Shelton Benjamin are shown in a staredown backstage...until Kennedy says his name for no apparent reason.[/I] [I]*Backstage, Arn Anderson is getting prepared for his singles match when Tyson Tomko busts in and beats the hell out of Anderson...hitting him with a Problem Solver (Spinning DDT Bomb) onto the concrete floor. Anderson will be in no shape to compete later, as he is stretchered out.[/I] [B]MATCH 5: TYSON TOMKO vs. JIMMY YANG[/B] Tomko came to the ring, asd was informed that his opponent for the night would be solid Light Heavweight competitor Jimmy Yang, as a replacement for Arn. But, we all know that Yang was out of his element here as he got absolutely manhandled by the Problem Solver, for won it witha Yakuza kick Knock Out at 0:37. A dominating victory. [B]WINNER AT 0:37 TYSON TOMKO RATING: C+[/B] Next up, we have [B]Armando Alejandro Estrada[/B]. [B]Armando:[/B] Haha! My name es Armando ALLLLLEEEEEJANDRRRRRRRO Estrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaada...and tonight I have some good news para joo. In action es my Samoan Bulldozer...the man who put Chris Jericho out of action...UUUUUUUUUUUUMAGA! [B]MATCH 6: UMAGA vs. "HACKSAW" JIM DUGGAN[/B] Hacksaw's triumphant return to RAW was not so triumphant after all, as Umaga squashed him pretty badly. [B]WINNER AT 1:43 UMAGA RATING:C+[/B] [I]Daivari comes out[/I] [B]Daivari:[/B] Ladies and gentlemen, standing before you is the undefeated, invincible, Great Khali. Not a man on the face of the Earth can stand face to face with this man. Not a man on the face of the Earth can so much as harm this man. At Summerslam, Triple H will learn not to cross the Great Khali....and then, THe Great Khali strive to become World Heavyweight Champion...a title which he will never lose. [B]MATCH 7: GREAT KHALI vs. BATISTA[/B] Batista looked desperate for revenge against Khali, who injured him about a month ago...decent match right here....but Batista was yet again unable to so much as harm Great Khali, who put him away with a monumental flapjack. [B]WINNER AT 5:34 GREAT KHALI RATING:B[/B] [I]Kurt Angle comes out, ready for his tag match.[/I] [B]Angle:[/B] You know? All this commotion has been made over the so-called title situation, but none of it matters, because the gold is right here around the waist of your Olympic hero...Kurt Angle. Two weeks from now I will beat JBL...after that I will beat whoever challenges me. Be it Great Khali, my partner tonight JOhn Cena, Rey Mysterio, Umaga, I don't care...I will beat anybody, anytime. [B]MATCH 8: CENA AND ANGLE vs. DOANE AND FLAIR[/B] Cena and Angle rolled straight over Doane and FLair in this one, gaining momentum for Angle on the road to Summerslam...Cena looked strongest out of anyone however. [B]WINNER AT 6:57 CENA AND ANGLE RATING:A[/B] [B]MAIN EVENT: JBL vs. TRIPLE H[/B] Not much else to say here other than JBL won using the ropes for leverage after an excellent match. Postmatch, JBL celebrated ver ****ily. [B]WINNER AT 10:09 JBL RATING:A[/B] OVERALL SHOW RATING:A [U]NEXT WEEK:[/U] Johnny Nitro vs. Gene Snitsky - Lead in match here. Helms and Moore vs. Shelley and Kidman - This is a leadin match to Summerslam...The two men who'll face each other at Summerslam are on opposite sides here. Matt Striker and Chris Masters vs. Carlito and American Dragon - Striker brings his friend Masters to help him, whilst Carlito, impressed at his performance, chooses Dragon as his partner Great Khali vs. Tyson Tomko - Clash of the Titans here...the man who'll face Triple H at Summerslam faces his Problem Solver on Uncut next Friday. Kurt Angle vs. Ken Doane - BIG opportunity here for Doane, as Angle faces him in a warmup match leading into Summerslam. JBL vs. John Cena - Should be pretty good...leadin to Summerslam. Summerslam Card will be posted in prediction friendly form later tonight.

[U][B]COMPLETE SUMMERSLAM CARD[/B][/U] Alex Shelley vs. Gregory Helms - Light Heavyweight Title - Alex Shelley appeared and went on a tyrade against RAW's L. Heavyweight Division, which he called notalent. The fans are behind Shelley, but can he come home from Summerslam golden against the ruthless and experienced Helms? Tyson Tomko vs. ??? - Someone new will debut at Summerslam to face Tomko, but who'll it be? MNM vs. THe Freak Show- Tag Team Titles - The feud has escalated from mere comedy to a serious feud...and the Tag Team titles will be decided at Summerslam! Shelton Benjamin vs. Ken Kennedy - US Title-Shelton has his toughest test yet as he faces Ken Kennedy, a man on a mission at Summerslam. Matt Striker vs. Carlito - A lot of badblood here...each hates the other's personality, and holds the other responsible for them not being in the US Title match. The feud spills into Summerslam, where we'l finally get an eventual winner. Ric Flair vs. Arn Anderson- A match that many will say looks as if it should be in early 90s WCW...but the two veterans have no love lost and they'll duke it out at Summerslam. Umaga vs. Rey Mysterio- Rey Rey debuts! But his opponent is the seemingly unstoppable Samoan Bulldozer Umaga. Will Rey be able to stop the path of destruction left by Umaga, or will his debut be spoiled? Great Khali vs. Triple H (no holds barred) - The fans have gotten behind Triple H, although he really couldn't care less. The Great Khali has looked invincible throughout his trnure on RAW. But could Triple H's sledgehammer be an equilizer ina no holds barred match? Find out at Summerrlam. John Cena vs. Sylvester Terkay - Terkay will finally make his debut...the man dubbed the "Predator" will have his hands full against the Doctor of Thuganomics at Summerslam. Is Terkay for real? We'll sure find out. Angle vs. JBL - World HEavyweight CHampionship - JBL got # 1 contendership surprisingly and underhandedly, but now can he win when it counts? Against Kurt Angle? Find out at Summerslam.

5-3 to Raw. Gave an extra score to ECW due to an excellent PPV, but docked it after re-reading and realising that Hogan destroyed sabu. Don't get me wrong, Sabu is a terrible wrestler (Just awful) but Hogan is not ECW. Job him to Lesnar of Joe or someone!

[panix04]

i have a plan for Hogan! Please dont rate me down for giving him a push 'cos i have a nice storyline that its leading too! As for Sabu, i just think he's too old to cut it. Not really sure what to do with him, im just keeping him round for nostalgias sake tbh. Im judging this mainly on video clips and his recent stuff but he seems like a one trick pony with his 'diving from the top rope' spot. So nevermore, i dont wanna come accross as lazy, but if you can think of a decent storyline for Sabu - without having to put him over my top guys PM me and i will use it!

[The Humanoid Typhoon]

I don't get how you can call this ECW. Some silly ECW fans might complain about the current WWE version, but it is in no way shape or form anywhere near as off-base as this. Edge, Brock Lesnar (Hello, NJPW!) Eugene, Kane, Goldberg, Hulk Hogan, Undertaker, Viscera (WTF?!), Randy Orton, Sean Waltman (Wellness, anyone?) Shawn Michaels, Stacy Kiebler, The Rock, Torrie Wilson, and Trish Stratus. Are you kidding me? Pal, you got half of the people who'd fit in ECW on RAW. The others, you just didn't sign. I'll even be nice to just list the people who were in ECW and have been added to ECW or were at ONS II that you excluded: Masato Tanaka, Balls Mahoney, Little Guido, Tony Mamaluke, Super Crazy, C.W. Anderson, Roadkill, Danny Doring, Al Snow, Justin Credible, Stevie Richards, Mikey Whipwreck, Jason, Jazz, and Francine. Now, for the active, non-main eventing, former ECW wrestlers who are signed to WWE and weren't added by them or you: Simon Dean, Kid Kash, Joey Mercury, Chris Benoit, Johnny Parisi, Psicosis, Lita, Mick Foley

Did you even realise that im competing against another person? And you want me to choose little guido over Edge? And just incase you didnt read the whole diary its not as if i had my pick of who i wanted it was a draft which means you take it in turns to pick your workers. Your comments just come across as dumb when you list people who neither me or WWE has added to our roster when if you look carefully Mick Foley has been in my main event scene throughout the diary and Chris Benoit is a prominent upper careder for me as well. As for the other people you have listed (highlighted in red) most of them i dont like - Al Snow and Balls Mahoney notwithstanding. And to be honest i am well over the amout of people i should have on my roster and there is no-way i am dropping anybody. I respect Nethermores opinion on my booking because he didnt post on here like some kind of numpty who probably didnt even read the whole thread before going off on one - if you had you may realise that i have the dudleyz, raven, taz, joey styles, terry funk, tommy dreamer, chris benoit, Mick Foley, Rhino, RVD, Sabu, Sandman, Stone cold and Tajiri on my roster.

I do think you are wrong about Hogan though, the guy is pure Charisma, he managed to get over in Japan didnt he? Im not sure he would get over as an ECW face though, if they went for an anti hardcore angle i think he'd be a great heel there, just because he represents the opposite of what ECW allegedly stood for. As for sticking with ECW over smackdown my reasoning is quite simple - i dont like smackdown's logo and the ECW one appealed to me!

[The Ego]

Panix, You enjoy your game mate, Your running ECW YOUR way, no one elses! Your treating it like a business, by not signing certain former/ECW Superstars....after all, those were the guys who couldnt make enuff money to buy Paul Heyman a cup of coffee.

Panix, you did sound like an ass :D LOL, only messing player, but it didn't occur to me to think of it as an actual rivalry (Stupid WWE Brands!!!). In that case, you do exactly what you need to do to WIN! Still by my scores you're losing although I like the look of joe and CM Punk's pushes. Although becareful with Punk, he is not as fantastic as everyone makes out. Well not yet anyway! Joe=Legend Panix=Legend TCP=GOD!
