[QUOTE][CENTER]This is based purely off the TEW game, this in no way represents real life[/CENTER][/QUOTE] [CENTER][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/SmackDownBanner.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] ------------------------ ------------------------ I stepped into my office a new man, for the first time in a long while I finally felt like I could accomplish something at my job. After having been retired from wrestling for 5 years already I had gone into property investment, after failing there I moved onto several small businesses but could never focus due to the sheer amount of wrestling there was for me to visit. Linda McMahon was there to greet me that morning and she had informed me that she had a bright future planned for SmackDown! And hoped that I would be able to match her ambitions, I promised her I would, and after a brief encounter with my new rival, Raw's Shane McMahon, I was soon on my way to getting on with my days duties. Sorry, excuse me, I forgot to mention, my names Davide Simeone, one of the best workers to ever come out of Italy, I am the only man to ever hold all the European Main Event titles, and I retired at 31 due to injury, oh yeah, and I’m the new head booker for WWE's SmackDown! Brand! ------------------------ ------------------------ [B]March[/B] ECW was confirmed as returning, the McMahon's stepped into gear for arranging all the workers needed to move from the two brands onto the third in order to restart-up ECW. SmackDown! Was still along way behind Raw in terms of popularity and amount of workers available. Seeing this, Vince finally decided to look into improving SmackDown! To try and make it look a competitor to Raw. [B]April[/B] As April rolled along, SmackDown! Had started to improve in popularity, with Angle as their champion, Randy Orton and Rey feuding, and undertaker returning to put Mark Henry into a casket, Vince was starting to get a little excited at the potential he could untap from SmackDown! However, after giving the SmackDown! Main Event at WrestleMania less time than John Cena and Triple H's entrances, SmackDown! Again descended into the wilderness they were in before. [B]May[/B] When May came along, fans were delighted to hear that Batista would be on his way back to their screens real soon, as soon as The Great American Bash, and would be facing off against the man that injured him Mark Henry! Raw and SmackDown! Were at an all time high in terms of fan difference, WWE were having to bring in small time actors and actresses and some people off the streets to help fill the venues up, Vince was getting desperate. [B]June[/B] ECW started up and really bombed, Vince was distraught, and his idea of a third brand hadn't worked, SmackDown! Was now at an all time low, Raw still riding high, The McMahon's knew something drastic had to be done. With Shane on TV on Raw, Vince opted to "turn" on Jonathan Coachman, and finally do what every fan had wanted for so long, and make Shane-O-Mac the General Manager (and Head Booker) of Raw! On the following SmackDown! Linda appeared and informed the (non-existent at this point) fans that ECW, Raw and SmackDown! Would be breaking away from each other and would no longer be a part of any brand split. The fans were told that Vince and Shane would be running Raw, Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer would run ECW, and Linda had SmackDown! but she had no one along side her, or at least not yet anyways. [B]July[/B] With the three separate "Promotions" active, interest in WWE had gotten a bit stronger, fans wanted to see which promotion would be in the lead come the New Year. Linda had in all actuality not got herself a head booker, and was therefore leaving it up to the booking team, with it being only Steve Keirn and David 'Fit' Finlay, Linda wasn't too confident on staying in the top two promotions. She actively searched for a head booker, talking to TNA's Jim Cornette, BCW's Scott D'Amore, and even ROH's Gabe Sapolsky! But after being shot down by them all, she opted to do an Interview style appointment. Over the next two weeks she interviewed nearly 50 "ideal" candidates, but she settled on 3 possible new people, Former Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff, former Freebird Michael Hayes, and former Euro Heavyweight Champion Davide Simeone. After a final round of interviews, Linda finally unveiled her SmackDown! Head booker. [B]August[/B] Davide Simeone was revealed as the new head booker on WWE.com, and got straight to work with the new look SmackDown! ------------------------ ------------------------ OOC: I'll be posting the current roster, champions, etc in the next post

[CENTER][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/WrestlingNews2.gif[/IMG] [B][U]Latest SmackDown! News[/U][/B] Well, SmackDown! was well under way this week with alot of roster changes! With Simeone joining the team as Head Booker, WWEWrestlingNews.com is able to tell you that Roddy piper has officially left the WWE, not only did Shane McMahon release him from his Raw contract, but Simeone released him from his SmackDown! contract too! Following Piper out of the door was Brian Gewirtz, the former Raw Creative Team member was moved to SmackDown! in July, but it seems that was to his disadvantage, and he has been released too. Torrie Wilson was released from her Raw contract this past week, however, Davide Simeone quickly made a move for her and took her from under TNA's noses! Expect her to stay within her current gimmick, however, she may now just be portrayed as a manager rather than active wrestler. There are reports circulating that SmackDown! creative are thinking of making a Stable with Daivari managing it, with the Great Khali/Undertaker fued expected to move beyond SummerSlam, this rumour could infact be true! We can tell you that Davide Simeone has brought two workers from British promotion 3CW to SmackDown! in the hope they can help fill out the depleated Cruiserweight section. Dale "Kid Richie" Richie is a former 3CW Young Lions champion, and has wrestled all over the UK, he was held within high regard in England, and looks to have a bright future ahead of him. Nico "NDP" Dal Pozzo has been brought in due to his relationship to Simeone, both are from the same town in Italy, and simeone actually trained NDP whilst visiting in England, NDP is a little heavier than Richie, and therefor may not be applicable to the Cruiser division, however, he can still offer a good alternative style of wrestling to the fans. Simeone went on a talent accuiring run, bringing in a couple of future prospects. Cade Sydal, currently unemployed due to his recent releases, has been assigned to SmackDown! development, he is joined by Canadian Technical wrestler Greg Pawluk, following him was fellow Canadian Marc DuBois (Yes, the CornellVerse guy :D), The Amazing Red, recently released from TNA, has been signed to a contract, he too is expected to be sent to development, and finally, Sedrick Strong has been signed, and is expected to report to development soon too. The news on Sedrick Strong's signing is that it will lead to Roderick joining SmackDown! aswell, many fans want to see Roderick in WWE, and believe he could be moulded into the new Dean Malenko, only as the "Man of 1000 Backbreakers" Our final news report this week is that Simeone has allowed former WWE talent to use Deep South and Generic Wrestling as training grounds. Mark Copani, who has recently found some film work, is in training for his movie, Sean O'Haire is trainign to get back into shape, and possibly win himself a WWE contract, and Travis "Tyson" Tomko has been allowed to train with the SmackDown! crew due to finding no work in Japan as of late.[/CENTER]

WWEWrestlingNews.com - WWE: Raw News [CENTER][CENTER][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/WrestlingNews2.gif[/IMG][/CENTER] [B][CENTER]All the latest going ons from Raw.[/CENTER][/B] Well, WWE went on their usual roster cull this past week, and the majority of the casualties were from Raw. Raw axed an amazing 10 workers out of the 12 released from 'The E' this past week. As previously reports, Roddy Piper was released from the World Wrestling Entertainment full stop, losing both his Raw and SmackDown! contracts, however, he was followed out of the Raw door by several others. Backstage staff Bruce Pritchard, Michael Hayes, Dave Lagana, Gene Okerlund and Sgt. Slaughter were cut, McMahon loyalist Gerald brisco was also cut. Long time announcer Lillian Garcia was cut, many believe that her informing the fans the following Raw after the Haas incident, and the subsequent prolonged wearing of a cast resulted in her release, however, many backstage have noted that Garcia had wanted out of her contract to pursue her singing career. Finally, Jonathan Coachman, yes, "The Coach" was released aswell, his transition from backstage announcer to part time wrestler, to full time Raw commentator, to Vince McMahon's right hand man on Raw seemingly didn't go too well, and he was finally released, our insiders believe this release was long planned. Raw did however make up for some of these releases by signing some new talent, well, we say new, but it is infact old talent! Matt Wiese, better known to fans as Luther Reigns was resigned to a contract, he will re-appear on TV screens within the month, and will roll right back into the Luther Reigns gimmick. Rikishi was the other return, a shock? Yes, very, given that he was apparently on a life time contract in Italy, anyways, it appears Raw needed another "Big Man" for a possible fued with Umaga, i wouldn't rule that out neither! [QUOTE][B][U]WWE Raw[/U][/B] Kenny and Murdoch defeated A.A.Estrada and Johnny Haas and Big Vis went to a double DQ with Cade and Masters Sonny Siaki defeated Chuck Palumbo Mickie James defeated beth phoenix to retain the WWE Women's Title HBK and Cena defeated Edge and Triple H Trish Stratus defeated Lita[/QUOTE] [QUOTE][B][U]WWE Sunday Night heat[/U][/B] Cade & Murdoch went to a double count out with Austin and Siaki Masters and Umaga defeated Mitch and Hogan Haas and Big Vis defeated Johnny and Mikey for the WWE World Tag Team Titles Cena and Stratus against Orton and HBK ended in a no contest[/QUOTE][/CENTER]

ECWrestlingNews.com - ECW News [CENTER][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/ECWNews2.gif[/IMG] [B][U]All the latest going ons from ECW.[/U][/B] ECW were not involved at all with the roster cuts, they did however sign a lot of new talent! Paul heyman sticking to his roots by bringing in alot of former ECW talent this past week. The Dudley Boyz returned, however, it is not a full reunion in ECW, Brother Runt has not been resigned, and therefore only Buh Buh and D Von have signed contracts. Another former ECW talent that joined was Raven, after growing frustrated in TNa he opted to follow the Dudleyz and rejoin his former employer. Rhino's promos about ECW were definately fantastic, and it appears that they were not actually wrote by him, that's right, Paul heyman actually wrote them, and the title belt that was thrown in the trash can and lighted? That's right, Rhino's NWA World Heavyweight title! Rhino revealed he had agreed a deal to rejoin ECW a month ago, but finally decided to make the jump along with the Dudleyz and Raven. The final person to jump from TNA to ECW was a surprise accuisition, Jerry Lynn perhaps? or how about Shane Douglas, James Mitchell maybe? nope, none of them ,it was in fact former NWA World heavyweight champion Jay Reso, better known as Christian, yep, he jumped onto the new ECW, no word on why he jumped or even how he came to the decision to join ECW, more news as/if we get it. ECW got themselves some new officials, Paul Heyman going against Vince's better judgement brought in Earl Hebner, the senoir official left WWE with his brother Dave after being found selling WWE Merchandise without permission, however has said his business is now closed, and wishes to just get on with his new job. Heyman also brought by "The Serial Suicider" Tim White aswell, apparently as an offical, although he could just be used as a road agent in the near future. Speaking of Road Agents, Pat Patterson returned to the WWE by joining ECW as road agent, he was soon joined by Dory Funk Jr and Harley Race.

TNAWrestlingNews.com - TNA News [CENTER][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/TNAWrestlingNews.gif[/IMG] [B]All the latest going ons from TNA.[/B] TNA really did have to beat WWE at something didn't they! They well and truly out did them by releasing 19 workers! Jerrelle Clark, A-1, Johnny Devine, Eric Young, Andy Douglas, David Young, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Petey Williams, Alex Shelley, Bobby Roode, Lance Hoyt, Traci, Sting, Jeremy Borash, Andrew Thomas, Don West, Bill Banks, Moody Jack Melendez There are a few ironic releases there, Eric Young for one, the whole Don't Fire Eric storyline has been a fantastic running story, however, with Jim Cornette "Firing" Eric at the Monday night tapings, it would appear that TNA higher ups finally decided to make it a legitimate firing. Alex Shelley with his Shelley cam could well be on there way to WWE, news is that both Raw and SmackDown! are battling for the man with "Talent on loan from God", there has been no details given for his release from TNA, especially as he was entering a long run alongside kevin Nash. Sting is another, the huge money contract he was given seems to have been his downfall, as TNA will have seen his demands a little too much for a promotion like them, the current word is that they did not intend on keeping Sting around this long, and that the release s just waiting to happen. We are sure however that Sting will NOT be joining WWE in any form, he has said time and time again that he might consider it, but never actually act upon it, and he has said he will stick by this statement. Don West has apparently been in talks with SmackDown! following his release, however, we are told that Raw are more advanced with talks, and he could be appearing on their TV show next week! In some lighter news, Diamond Dallas page has returned to TNA, and has been given control of the companies booking duties, wether this will mean the end for Jarrett's domination of TNA's top talent is still unsure, however DDP has said he will be reconsidering everyones position within the company. As sen on the recent TNA iMPACT! tapings, Brother Runt became the new X Division champion, word backstage is that this was done as a sign of thanks to Runt for rejecting a contract from ECW, after seeing his "brotehrs" leave, and Rhino in actuality join ECW when ripping up his "Contract" offer, and "burning" the ECW title, TNA felt like rewarding Runt for his dedication to the company.

Man, I've read both shows, both the recap version and the second written out one and I have to say your doing a good job and I hope you keep things up. On the first show even though it was a recap show you got your point across. And actually, the only thing missing was the pictures as you basically covered about as much as you do in the entire show in the first place, so good job. I thought on the second show that you'd go to continue the "Fake" Undertaker Angle, but it seems it may have only been a one night thing. I like the Naturals on Smackdown! as its a chance for the tag team roster to get deeper. Also, Shane Helms over Batista clean? OMG, thats awesome! Does reality show this in the future? I THINK NOT, but still I loved it.

[That Crazy Guy]

Ahh the second Undertaker returns or what? So soon after the Fake Kane thing that I heard only happened a month or two ago? I'm not sure about it. Another thing I'm not sure about is the massive new signings, you may want to take time, do hype videos and hype their debuts unless they're quick fodder, of course. Other then that, this diary makes me want to be the Raw to your Smackdown! :wub: - I really like it. Very clean and the matches are greatly booked. Helms beating Batista reminded me of him beating The Rock. It was clean, to! Oh yeah, push Finalay. :)

[hurricanendp]

cheer sfor the comments guys, the Fake Taker thing isn't a long running thing, just to help out with the Khali/Taker fued. I liked how the Helms vs Batista match came across, and will definately do another (well, check the next show whenver it's wrote up) and i hope i can use this to push Helms out of the Cruser division and into the US scene as it were. The infulux of new signings are primarily to boost the Development territories (i now have 3 lol!) but a few are brought in as fillers for the gaps the SmackDown! roster has after dropping those that are inactive in real life to development. One last point, i tried to go without signing the usuals such as Styles, Daniels, Danielson Collyer etc, but it hasn't lasted long, some have been signed wont tel you who simply ebcause those that do debut, come in at a later period, and they were only brought in due to the severely rubbish card ratings i've been getting

ECWrestlingNews.com - ECW News [CENTER][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/ECWNews2.gif[/IMG] ECW were deep in negotiations with new workers this past week, signing 14 new workers to help boost the ECW roster. ECW once again raided TNA, bringing in 5 of their more important workers. Jim Cornette, their on screen authority and member of their Booking Team opted to jump to WWE, after being released whilst Head Booker of OVW a ouple of years ago, it would appear Heyman once again opted to take it to Vince by hiring another ex employee. Following Cornette was TNA's senior official Mark "Slick" Johnson, with Mickie Henson opting to stay on Raw, Heyman had to bring in someone to replace him, and many backstage feel that Heyman definately made a great signing with Johnson, and he should improve the match quality down in ECW. The final three workers are all former WWE workers, the first being Sean Waltman, yep, that's right, X-Pac is back in WWE! Well, ECW, after just returning to TNA, Waltman opted to jump ship to WWE, although many believed he would link up with DX once again, it would seem Heyman managed to bring him in to possibly challenge Al Snow for the ECW TV Title. Next up is Ron Killings, formerly known as K-Kwik, and widely expected to return as K-Kwik. Killings is expected to just be used as midcard fodder, however, should Heyman opt to, he could push him into a fued with CM Punk. The final member of the TNA Jump Squad is Scott Steiner, many ECW fans are really dissapointed by Heymans addition here, believing that Steiner will not fit into ECW in any way other than help push younger non established workers up the ECW card. Others to join ECW this week are: Marcus Bagwell, Buff The Stuff is in ECW, and expected to be used briefly. Brian Hebner, Earl's son joins ECW to help bolster their Referee's department. Bobby Heenan joins as part of the commentary team Jonathan Coachman also joins the announce team Glen Gilberti, formerly known as Disco Inferno in WCW joins and is expected to help bolster the midcard region of the shows The Messiah joins, and is also expectdd to be pushed in the midcard role Gerald Brisco and Sgt. Slaughter are brought in to be Road Agents for the company And finally, after months of speculation, Jonny Fairplay joins as a manager, but of who is unknown as of yet.

TNAWrestlingNews.com - TNA News [CENTER][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/TNAWrestlingNews.gif[/IMG] First off, we start off with some good news for TNA fans, with their recent rise in popularity TNA have brought in a few new workers and have tied them to written deals to prevent WWE/ECW from raiding them anymore. Jimmy Hart finally makes his return to TNA, and is expected to be unvieled as the new manager of Jarrett's group. Jesse Ventura joins as a replacement for Don West. Tony Schiavone also joins the announce team, no doubt as a replacement for Jeremy Borash as the face of TNA XPlosion Percy Pringle III (Paul Bearer) has been brought in and is expected to be Abyss' new manager, with Abyss and James Mitchell having problems backstage recently, it would appear that TNA higher ups have opted to split the pair up. Robert Brisco has been brought into a road agent position. On the active workers additions TNA brought in Savio Vega, Orlando Jordan and Road Warrior Animal, all are expected to debut soon. Finally, some upsetting news for all you male fans out there, Jackie and Christy have opted to go to Japan and join All Japan Pro Wrestling rather than stay with TNA.

NDP enjoyed spells of offense, and really looked like the one going over here, however, Shelley came out at the last second with a low blow, and then managed to take the victory by using the ropes when pinning NDP [B]Winner:[/B] Alex Shelley after using the ropes [B]Match Rating:[/B] C+ [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/SmackDown/newpitbullsgymini.jpg[/IMG] The New Pitbulls vs The Gymini The New Pitbulls made their return tonight, and many of the fans are speculating that they are infact the mystery challengers for the Tag Titles. The two teams both went at each other, brawling for around 5 minutes, before the New Pitbulls took advantage, the finish came when Jesse was delivering a Ten punch in the corner to Noble, only for Kash to hit him in the head and allow Noble to stumble into a Powerbomb whilst Kash jumped off and delivered the clothesline.

PPV as the referee in this 4 way Bra and Panties match. Kristal was eliminated first, all 4 girls (including Torrie!) stripped her down, next to go was Jillian, which left a half dressed Ashley against the fully clothed Michelle, Ashley managed to take Michelles top off, but that infuriated the "Teacher" and she imediately took Ashely's skirt off for the victory.

Too Cool's music hits, and they come out to a good reception, both members ask Naturals what warrents them to be the number one contenders, Too Cool were here winning titles long before The naturals stepped foot in a ring, if anyone accepts, it should be Too Cool! With that, Matt Hardy comes out, he says he's a Tag Team specialist, he's battled Too Cool many times, and doesn't think they have what it takes to be the champs again, he says he'll accept the challenge, but his partner won't be Tatanka, it won't be Animal, it won't even be good friend Shannon oore, no, it'll be....*Old Hardyz Music Plays to a HUGE pop from the crowd* JEFF.....HARDY!

The 9 challengers enter the ring at once, and just go after Helms, coming within seconds of being the first eliminated. First to go was Idol Stevens, then Kasey James, Michelle McCool obviously looking upset that her two Teachers pets were eliminated so soon. The final four were Helms, Billy Kidman, Chris Sabin and Psicosis. Kidman went first out of the four, Sabin hit a Cradle Shock for the elimination, Helms then hit a Shining Wizard on Psicosis to eliminate him, and we were down to the final two. Good chemistry between the two, but they couldn't carry the match well, helms looked set to win, only to be caught by Sabin when going for a Cross body attempt, Sabin lifted Helms up onto his shoulders and hit the Cradle Shock!!! Sabin wins, and ends Helms' record run!

All teams were surrounding the ring, Chase Stevens and Brian kendrick started the match, good back and forth kind of start to the match, Kendrick tagged in Grand Master and things picked up pace. Hardyz were still stood on the outaside, not having entered at all when The naturals were both eliminated, Hooliganz hitting Dropsaults on both for the eliminations. Too Cool battled away against the Hooliganz, only to have Matt Hardy tagged in and hit a Twist of Fate for the elimination of Scotty, he then hit a ToF on Brian kendrick, tagged in Jeff to a massive cheer, and then Jeff delivered a Swanton bomb for the elimination, hardyz looking strong as we head to commercial. Back from commercial and we see that Grand master is waling to the back, aparently he was disqualified for hitting a Low Blow, replays show it happened :( Matt Hardy in the ring with London, the two can really go at each other, both hit a clothesline on each other, London crawls to his corner to tag in Kendrick, but he's not there! Matt tags Jeff in, who goes over to London, hits an Extreme Twist of Fate, then goes up top to deliver another Swanton for the victory! Hardyz win the tag titles!

Underfaker opts not to lie down for Khali, he goes at him with everything he's got, much to the disgust of Daivari, however, after a few breif words from him, Faker goes in the ring, says something to Khali, goes to pick up a mic, seemingly ready to say "I Quit when Khali hits a huge Chop of Doom~! and Faker yells he quits before Khali can hit that dreaded move again!

The match itself was nothing special, and the fans let the workers know their dissapointment in it. Rey did hit the 619, however Chavo had hold of the Ref, and the two got knocked by it, Chavo opted to use underhand tactics and managed to sneak in a fair few befroe the ref came to. The finish came after Rey missed a Frog Splash, Chavo went up top and hit one of his own.

After locking in the Regal Stretch, Finlay used his sheleighly to gain the advantage for the remainder of the match. Finlay did his usual unique offense of moves, and then finaly hit his Celtic Cross for the victory.

Batista came out locked on beating Vito, and Vito came out looking ready for a fight. Very brawl based match up, fans weren't too bothered by the match, and it seemed batista didn't want this to go too long and hit the Batista Bomb ratehr quickly, after not getting the 3, Batista just continued to hit his huge (:rolleyes:) arsenal of moves, and then hit another batista Bomb for the win.

Fans didn't care for Booker at all, booed him throughout, cheered the heel Kennedy and tried to push him to victory, but Bookers only had the title a month, and you can't expect him to lose it that quickly. Booker hit a Royal Bookend, then waited for Mr Kennedy to struggle to his feet, only to hit a Scissor Kick for the win.
