WWE SmackDown! - Beyond The Bash

[Nevermore]

Nice PPV dude! I really like Tatanka as US Champ - good call. I've got to be honest though, if you're planning on a Luger/Batista feud, I'm a bit sceptical. Still, good job man, I think it was a good idea to leave the belt on Booker for now and let him get some heel heat. I'm also wondering where the Rey/Chavo feud will go. Quote The Raven Nevermore

[Rune]

I'm not really sure about the Luger/Batista thing, either. I'm not sure how Luger is skill-wise these days, I only hired him because him and Hall were basically the most over, active guys available for me. I didn't want Batista to win, the Court was too obvious so I mixed things up, hopefully their match will be decent at least. I've already done the next SmackDown! in advance, I could have posted it straight after SummerSlam but I thought I'd wait a little bit, I'll post it in a few.

Look to him to hold on to the belt for a while. [b]Chris Benoit's Return[/b] Chris Benoit looks to make his return in the coming months, the SmackDown! roster is pretty bare at the moment so look for him to make a huge impact upon his return.

[b]Eric Bischoff:[/b] "Let me guess, you want a match against Lex here?" Batista nods. [b]Eric Bischoff:[/b] Well tough luck, you're not getting it. The crowd boo as Bischoff and Luger laugh. [b]Eric Bischoff:[/b] "You see, if I go around granting matches to everyone who asks for them, I'd have no control over [b]my[/b] roster. So, the answer is no."

[b]Scott Hall:[/b] "Right, anyway, it's good to be back. I chose to come back because in my whole career, I never won "the big one". Back in the WWF, I messed up, WCW I messed up, my short stint in ECW I messed up and my most recent return to WWE I messed up. No more. I'm a changed man, and I've come to SmackDown! to win the World Heavyweight Championship." A focused Scott Hall pats Josh Matthews on the back and leaves the area.

The crowd are on their feet, cheering as The Undertaker appears on the titantron. [b]The Undertaker:[/b] "Khali... At No Mercy, there will be no running... There will be no hiding... There will be no escape! The Undertaker is coming for you, Khali! That ring is my yard, and I don't like being caged, but I'm sure it won't be half as bad as the beating you will receive. Khali, at No Mercy, you will rest... In... Peace!" The lights come on as Khali shouts "Undertaker" and signals for him to "bring it".

[b]Eric Bischoff:[/b] "I'm not going to have this "Anima" boss me around. He's not getting what he wants, and that's final. What he [i]is[/i] getting, however, is Sylvester Terkay. And I think I have a special referee in mind..." Luger grins. [b]Lex Luger:[/b] "Don't worry, I think I still have the shirt in my bag from last time." The two men laugh as the camera heads back to ringside.

Batista matches power with Terkay. Luger tries to help Terkay win a few times, but is unsuccessful. Batista, fed up with Luger's cheating, hits him with the Spinebuster after ducking the Bionic Forearm. Terkay drags Batista out of the ring as a referee runs down to replace the fallen Luger. Batista hits Terkay with the Spinebuster on the outside, and makes it back in the ring on time for the referee to count Terkay out. Batista wins in 14:51 by count out. Batista lifts the groggy Luger and hits him with a Batista Bomb to end SmackDown!

[b]Mr. Kennedy:[/b] "Okay, I'm fed up. I've had enough. I shouldn't be losing matches, but I have been. So I've personally selected my next opponent. If I lose this one, I'm done, I quit!" [b]Michael Cole:[/b] "What?! If Kennedy loses, he'll quit?" Finlay's music play as the crowd boo. [b]John "Bradshaw" Layfield:[/b] "Well, I can't say I like Kennedy's chances..." After a few seconds of no Finlay, the Little Bastard appears from under the ring. [b]Michael Cole:[/b] "I-Is that his... His opponent?" Kennedy smiles as the referee rings the bell.

[i]Any[/i] balls, you'll accept my challenge for No Mercy. Run along to your little boss, Eric Bischoff, and ask him if little Lex is allowed to come out and play on that day, because this Animal is ready to unleash himself and give you [b]No Mercy[/b]!" Batista just stares into the camera as we head back to the ring.

Nice ending! I hope the Luger/Batista match gets a good rating. Quote The Raven Nevermore

[Rune]

Thanks. I do too, I was thinking about throwing a "gimmick" into their match, but I already had the cage match with Khali/Taker. Honestly, I'm expecting a B- but ah well, I know Booker/Lashley will be good.

How the hell is this only getting a 3* rating of a diary? Whoever voted this thing under a 4* is an idiot.

[QUOTE=nimo34;134845]How the hell is this only getting a 3* rating of a diary? Whoever voted this thing under a 4* is an idiot.[/QUOTE] They voted it a one, the first vote this got was a 5, I voted a 4 and it has a 3.33 average so it must have received a 1 for it's other vote.

Haha thanks guys, I didn't even know you could rate the thread. I really appreciate it.

[nimo34]

Then rate my ROH, damn it. Oh yeah, great diary again, don't wanna get too off topic.

Haha don't worry I did rate it a big ol' 5, but looks like it didn't need the rating as you were already there ;)
