WWE Raw: Redefining 2004

[i]This is an old diary I wrote last year. I'll post it here while I'm working on my current one.[/i] [QUOTE][IMG]http://www.wrestlingzone.ru/spoiler/card/veng04_card.jpg[/IMG] [color=red][b]WWE Raw Presents: Vengeance 2004[/b][/color] [u]World Heavyweight Championship Match[/u] Triple H def.

Batista Rhyno and Tajiri def. The Coach and Garrison Cade[/QUOTE] This is where I come in. The name is Johnny Dexter. I've been a writer for the Raw brand for a little over eight months now. With ratings going down, the WWE thought they needed to head into a new direction. With Brian Gerwitz taking ill, management decided to start asking us younger writers. It was decided right before Vengeance, that following the pay per view, that three of us, that being Thomas Berry, Doug Holiday will be temporarily taking over the booking team for the next month and a half. It's only a trial basis, though. The first thing handed to me was the complete Raw roster. I decided to organize it so it would be much easier to handle. After about half an hour I came up with a fully organized list. Here it is. [QUOTE][color=red][b]The Raw Roster, as of July 11th, 2004[/b][/color] [b]Main Eventers[/b] [color=blue]Chris Benoit[/color] [color=red]Triple H[/color] [b]Upper Midcarders[/b] [color=red]Batista[/color] [color=blue]Chris Jericho Edge[/color] [color=red]Kane Randy Orton[/color] [b]Midcarders[/b] [color=red]Al Snow[/color] [color=blue]Eugene Dinsmore[/color] [color=red]Gail Kim Jazz[/color] [color=blue]Lita Matt Hardy[/color] [color=red]Molly Holly[/color] [color=blue]Nidia Rhyno Tajiri The Hurricane[/color] [color=blue]Val Venis William Regal[/color] [b]Lower Midcarders[/b] [color=red]Chuck Palumbo Garrison Cade[/color] [color=blue]Maven[/color] [color=red]Rob Conway Rodney Mack[/color] [color=blue]Rosey[/color] [color=green]Steven Richards[/color] [color=red]Sylvain Grenier[/color] [color=blue]Victoria[/color] [b]Openers[/b] [color=red]Tyson Tomko[/color] [b]Managers[/b] [color=red]Ric Flair[/color] [color=blue]Stacy Keibler[/color] [b]Non-Wrestlers[/b] [color=red]Christopher Nowinski Eric Bischoff[/color] [color=blue]Ivory[/color] [color=green]Jerry Lawler[/color] [color=blue]Mick Foley The Rock[/color] [b]Injured List[/b] [color=red]A-Train (Due back in October) Christian (Due back in September) Mark Henry (Due back in November) Test (Due back next July)[/color] [color=blue]Shawn Michaels (Due back in September)[/color] [color=red]Scott Steiner (Due back in August)[/color] [color=blue]Shelton Benjamin (Due back in August)[/color] [color=red]Trish Stratus (Due back in August)[/color] [color=blue]Blue = Face[/color] [color=red]Red = Heel[/color] [color=green]Green = Tweener[/color][/QUOTE] Then I made a quick list of the champions and the pay per views for the rest of the year.

Get Chris Jericho over as the main face on Raw, without making Triple H upset. 2. Make sure the "Victoria's stalker" angle ends without a horrible ending. 3. Continue the pregnancy angle with Lita, Matt Hardy and Kane without it going down in Wrestlecrap. 4. Push Randy Orton as World Championship material. 5. Do the same with Christian. My job begins the 11th, so I better get starting.

[quote][img]http://ourworld.cs.com/FlamingPunk77/Raw.JPG[/img] [color=red][b]Raw Preview for July 12th, 2004[/b][/color] Last night at Vengeance, Triple H defeated Chris Benoit to win the World Heavyweight Championship for the ninth time. But he needed help from honorary Evolution member, Eugene Dinsmore, who won the World Tag Team Titles with Ric Flair last night also. In our main event, Chris Benoit will try to get some revenge, when he teams up with Edge to take on Eugene and Ric Flair in the main event for the World Tag Team Titles! Randy Orton retained his Intercontinental Championship by beating Edge last night. But will he retain his title tonight when he faces Matt Hardy tonight? Will Kane get involved? Who will be the next contender to the World Heavyweight Championship? The Intercontinental Championship? The Tag Team Titles? Is Edge upset over his loss last night? Will The Coach want revenge over Rhyno and Tajiri after they humiliating him and Garrison Cade? Stay tuned for Raw, 9:00 ET / 6:00 PT, only on Spike TV!

A black limo pulls up, and the limo driver opens the back door. Out come Triple H, Ric Flair, Batista, Randy Orton, and Eugene Dinsmore. Triple H has his usual post-PPV bandage over his forehead and his World Title, Randy Orton has a huge gloat on his face, and Eugene seems upset. All four except Batista have titles now. All five start walking through the parking lot. [b]Eugene[/b]: Triple H? [b]Triple H[/b]: Yeah? [b]Eugene[/b]: Triple H, I feel bad. I hurt Chris Benoit last night. [b]Triple H[/b]: Why would that make you feel bad? You helped me get this *points to World Title* last night. You did a good thing. [b]Eugene[/b]: Do you think Chris Benoit is mad at me? Is he still my friend? [b]Triple H[/b]: Haven't you realized it yet? Chris Benoit isn't your friend. He never liked you! *starts yelling* He was just being nice! He was using you! *calms down* Eugene, I'll let Randy and Dave tell you about it all. I need to talk to Ric. Randy Orton and Batista pull Eugene aside and start talking to him. Triple H and Ric Flair keep walking. Ric Flair: What am I supposed to do? I have to defend these tag titles *points at World Tag Team Title* with that kid! I can't even stand to be around him!

Lets go, you two have to fight Benoit and Edge, and Orton has to beat that Hardy kid. *yells* Randy, Dave! Orton, Batista, and Eugene come up to Triple H and Ric Flair. [b]Triple H[/b]: So Eugene, do you understand? Eugene: I understand.. [b]Triple H[/b]: Good, now lets go. [b](84)[/b] "Across the Nation" by Union Underground starts playing, and the Raw intro starts playing. When its over, we're back in the arena, where the usual pyros are going off. [b]J.R.[/b]: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Raw! We've got a full packed show for you tonight! In our main event, its Chris Benoit and Edge taking on Ric Flair and Eugene for the World Tag Team Titles! [b]Jerry Lawler[/b]: Why do Edge and Chris Benoit get title shots? They both lost their title matches last night! [b]J.R.[/b]: They were both screwed out of their titles, and you know it! And right now, we're going to have some tag team action. Rhyno's music hits, and Rhyno and Tajiri run out to the ring, playing to the crowd, they wait for their challengers. All of a sudden, The Coach's music hits and Jonathan Coachman comes out on the stage with a microphone. [b]Coach[/b]: You think you could humiliate me last night? Well since Mr. Bischoff isn't here tonight, the Coach is in charge! And Mr. Bischoff told me about a plan he had. Tonight, we'll start a tournament, a tag team tournament! The winners will face Ric Flair and Eugene for the Tag Team Titles at Summerslam. And your opponents, hand chosen by the Coach are... La Resistance's music starts playing, and they shake hands with the Coach as Coach goes to the announce booth. [b][u]Tag Team Title Contenders Tournament[/u] Rhyno and Tajiri vs. La Resistance[/b] Tajiri and Robert Conway start things off first. The two hook up, Tajiri goes under his arms, and trips him from behind. Tajiri tries to his a standing moonsault, but Conway moves out of the way, and tags in Grenier!

[b]Winners: Rhyno and Tajiri[/b] [b](71,64,78) (**3/4)[/b] [b]J.R.[/b]: These two are on fire! This is their second win in a row as a tag team! [b]Jerry Lawler[/b]: They could even win the tag team titles! [b]Coach[/b]: That was just lucky! Excuse me gentlemen, but I've got some business to take care of. Coach gets up, and starts walking down the ramp, and he stops right before the ring. Rhyno and Tajiri are calling for Coach to get in the ring, but suddenly get attacked by two men with steel chairs, who came from the crowd! It turns out to be Garrison Cade and Chuck Palumbo! [b]J.R.[/b]: This must be Coach's secret weapon that he was talking about! [b]Jerry Lawler[/b]: I think Coach struck gold with Chuck Palumbo here. He's probably the strongest guy on the Raw roster! Coach, Cade, and Palumbo celebrate up the ramp as we cut backstage. Edge is in his locker room watching a tape of his match last night as Chris Benoit comes in. [b]Chris Benoit[/b]: You ready? Edge ignores him. [b]Chris Benoit[/b]: Edge? [b]Edge[/b]: Yeah? [b]Chris Benoit[/b]: Come on, we have to go train for our match. Edge ignores him. [b]Chris Benoit[/b]: What the hell is wrong with you? [b]Edge[/b]: You don't know how pissed off I am. I had Orton in the grasp of my hands last night, but he got away with the belt. That should be my belt Chris, MINE! [b]Chris Benoit[/b]: I know you can beat Orton any day. But maybe last night just wasn't your night? [b]Edge[/b]: Wasn't my night? Every night is my night! I'm Edge, I'm the one who beat Kane in my debut match! [b]Chris Benoit[/b]: You did use a cast... [b]Edge[/b]: SO? Nevermind. Lets just get ready for our match. Edge gets up and the two leave Edge's locker room as we go to a commercial break. [b](78)[/b] [b]---Commercial Break---[/b] "The Game" by Moterhead starts playing, and Triple H walks out by himself, wearing his shirt and tights, and carrying his new World Title on his shoulder. The fans taunt him on his way down, but he just ignores it. He finally gets to the ring after all of the taunting, and waits for his opponent. Val Venis's music then hits, and he taunts the women as he comes down to the ring. [b]J.R.[/b]: Oh, this is just despicable. I guess this is Triple H's open challenge. [b]Jerry Lawler[/b]: What are you talking about? Val Venis is a serious contender! [b]Triple H vs. Val Venis[/b] The two circle around, the hook up. Triple H knees Venis in the gut and sends him crashing into a turnbuckle. Triple H hits a running clothesline on Venis then starts hitting him with some left and rights. He grabs his arm, and goes for a clothesline, but Venis ducks! Venis starts to fight back, and starts punching Triple H on the ropes. He runs back, then forward, goes for a clothesline, but Triple H flips him over his shoulders, crashing into the outside floor! Triple H gets out of the ring and starts beating on Venis as the ref counts. Triple H picks Venis up, and throws him into the steel steps. Several fans start booing Triple H loudly, but he just plays to the taunts. When the ref is at count six, Triple H gets in the ring. Venis finally gets up, and tries to climbs up the apron at count eight, but Triple H runs and hits him with his knee, knocking him off the apron! As the ref gets to nine, Triple H gets out of the ring, resetting the count. Triple H then whips Venis into the steel barricade! He gets back in the ring again, and waits for Venis. Venis finally gets into the ring at count seven. Venis tries to start fighting against Triple H, but gets knee in the gut, then gets a knee to the face! [b]He lifts Venis up, kick to the gut, Pedigree! Triple H pins, 1...2...3![/b] [b]Winner: Triple H[/b] [b](80,82,78) (**3/4)[/b] Triple H then gets his World Heavyweight Championship from the referee and orders a microphone from Lillian Garcia. [b]Triple H[/b]: You see this title? Nine times! Nine times I've held this title! And this time, no one is taking this away from me! Not Chris Benoit, not Shawn Michaels, not anyone! Not even this piece of crap! Val Venis is struggling to get up, and gets kicks in the side as a result! [b]Triple H[/b]: Like I said, not this piece of crap! Its official, I have beaten everyone on this entire roster! And its- Y5J...Y4J...Y3J...Y2J! Break the walls down! Chris Jericho poses, then turns around. [b]Chris Jericho[/b]: Would you please...SHUT THE HELL UP! You say the exact same thing every single week! Well I beat this guy. And this guy. Who the hell cares? [b]Triple H[/b]: Don't you remember, Chris? I beat you too! [b]Chris Jericho[/b]: SHUT THE HELL UP! Stop running your damn mouth and actually prove your talk is as good as your walk! Triple H throws the microphone down and tells Jericho to come down to the ring, only to get low blowed by Val Venis! [b]Chris Jericho[/b]: (laughing) Well Aitch, looks like your not ready to fight. See ya later, assclown! Chris Jericho continues laughing and heads backstage as we go to a commercial break. [b](98)[/b] [b]---Commercial Break---[/b] We're now cut backstage to Matt Hardy and Lita talking. [b]Matt Hardy[/b]: Are you sure about this? [b]Lita[/b]: Yes Matt, I’m sure. Matt hugs and kisses Lita. [b]Matt Hardy[/b]: This is the greatest day of my life! Now stay here, I have to go win the Intercontinental Title from Randy Orton. [b]Lita[/b]: Good luck. You can hear Randy Orton's music, and Hardy and Lita kiss, then Hardy runs off. Lita has an excited expression on her face, but you can see a tall shadow behind her as we cut back to the ring. [b](68)[/b] Randy Orton is in the ring now, gloating to the crowd with his Intercontinental Title. 10%...30%...70%...100%! "Live for the Moment" by Monster Magnet, and out comes Matt Hardy, V1. Mattitude Fact #1: Kane is not as cool as Matt Hardy. Mattitude Fact #2: Matt Hardy trusts his friends and loved ones. (I had to take a shot at it) Matt Hardy gets in the ring, takes off his jacket, and Randy Orton gives the referee his Intercontinental Title. [b]J.R.[/b]: Matt Hardy is coming off a huge win over Kane last night. Maybe he can win tonight too. [b]Jerry Lawler[/b]: You think so? With Kane lurking around this arena? I don't think so! [b][u]Intercontinental Title Match[/u] Randy Orton © vs. Matt Hardy[/b] The two hook up, and neither can gain an advantage until Orton knees Hardy in the gut. Orton picks Hardy up for a suplex, but Hardy slips out of it and hits a neckbreaker on Hardy! Hardy holds up the V1 sign to the crowd, but gets attacked from behind by Orton!

He picks Hardy up, whips him into the ropes, goes for a clothesline, Hardy ducks, comes back, and hits Orton with the Side Effect! Hardy goes for a pin, 1...2...kickout! Out comes Batista. He watches the match closely as we go to a commercial break. [b]---Commercial Break--[/b] As we come back, Randy Orton is in charge of the match. Orton starts punching Matt Hardy, punches him onto the ropes, and clotheslines him out of the ring. Randy Orton starts distracting the referee, as Batista picks up Matt Hardy. He lifts Hardy up on his shoulders, and drops him face first on the steel steps! The ref starts counting. By count seven, Orton signals to Batista to put Hardy back into the ring.

Orton pins, 1...2...3![/b] Batista comes in the ring and celebrates with Randy Orton as we go to a commercial break. [b]Winner: Randy Orton (79,80,78) (***)[/b] [b]---Commercial Break---[/b] [b]J.R.[/b]: Its time for our main event folks, and its sure to be a slobberknocker! [b]Jerry Lawler[/b]: You got that right. On one side you have Edge and Former World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Benoit. On the other you have "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and the man who cost Chris Benoit his World Championship last night, Eugene, the World Tag Team Champions. [b]J.R.[/b]: You know Chris Benoit wants revenge after his own friend, Eugene cost him the World Title. Here we go folks! WOOOO! Ric Flair's music hits and out comes the Nature Boy himself in a green robe. Eugene comes out behind Flair, doing the strut. Flair looks behind him and Eugene stops every time Flair looks at him. The two get to the ring, but Eugene keeps tries to touch Ric Flair, but Flair wont let him. "Whatever" by Our Lady Peace hits and Chris Benoit and Edge come out to a huge fan reaction. Eugene has a worried look on his face, so he "tags" in Ric Fair and hides behind the ropes. Edge decides to start the match, ignoring Chris Benoit.

[quote][img]http://ourworld.cs.com/FlamingPunk77/wrecen.jpg[/img] [b]Chris Benoit Injured?[/b] Rumor has it that Chris Benoit is telling fellow workers backstage that he is feeling numbness in his hands, fearing that someing is going wrong with his neck. He will be taking an MRI next Tuesday. If he does have an injured neck, then he would be gone anywhere from eight months to a year. Lets hope for the best. [b]Trish Stratus Update[/b] With a broken hand, Trish will be out of action until late August. Right now shes recovering at home, taking it easy so she can return to action earlier than expected. She's expected to stay with Tyson Tomko though, not sure about Christian though. [b]TNA Releases Several Workers[/b] In a turn of proffessionalism, TNA released several deadweight wrestlers. To released were: Onyx, Heavy Metal, Monty Brown, April, Eric Young, Andy Douglas, Scott D'Amore, Rick Santel, Slash, D-Ray 3000, Dallas, Traci, Hotstuff Hernandez, David Young, Abismo Negro, Chase Stevens, Kazushi Kiyamoto, Goldylocks, and Bobby Rude. WWE has expressed interest in a few of these wrestlers, notably Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas of The Naturals, and Monty Brown. Scott Steiner and Shelton Benjamin are scheduled to return on Raw next month. At a house show on Friday, Edge was getting a lot of boos from the crowd. So Edge worked as a heel on the Saturday and Sunday house shows. [quote][color=orange][b]Heat Results for July 18th, 2005[/b] Jimmy Snuka Jr. def. Bobby Lashley in a Dark Match Steven Richards def.

[QUOTE][IMG]http://ourworld.cs.com/FlamingPunk77/Raw.JPG[/IMG] [color=red][b]Raw Preview for July 19th, 2004[/b][/color] As we ended Raw last week, Chris Benoit and Edge were arguing over their loss to World Tag Team Champions, Eugene and Ric Flair. This week, the two will take on two other Evolution members, and their Vengeance opponents, Triple H and Randy Orton. Can the two co-exist? Also last week, Coach announced Eric Bischoff's idea for a tournament to determine the number one contenders to the World Tag Team Titles. On Raw, the new team of Rhyno and Tajiri defeated La Resistance. And on Heat, Coach's new team of Chuck Palumbo and Garrison Cade defeated The Hurricane and Rosey. On next weeks Raw, the two teams will face off for the number one contendership, but they will fight in singles competition on Raw. Tajiri will take on Garrison Cade and Rhyno will take on Chuck Palumbo. After his interference last week, Matt Hardy has asked to fight Batista one on one on Raw! With this match, will Lita telling Matt that shes pregnant help his motivation? Or will Kane cost him his match again? Also, Raw will start off with the Highlight Reel, with special guest, William Regal! Stay tuned for Raw, 9:00 ET / 6:00 PT, only on Spike TV!

When its over, we're in the arena, where the usual pyros are going off, and Chris Jericho is in the ring with the Highlight Reel set. [b]Chris Jericho[/b]: Welcome to the Highlight Reel! And my guest has a lot on his mind. His name is...ladies and gentlemen, William Regal! William Regal’s music starts playing and he comes out wearing dress clothes to a decent pop. He gets in the ring and Chris Jericho hands him a microphone. [b] Chris Jericho[/b]: Nice to see ya Willy. Long time no see, eh? [b]William Regal[/b]: No time for chit chat, I’ve come here to address those bloody toe-rags of Evolution! You think you can stop me from seeing Master Eugene? I can’t even call him, or get within one hundred feet of the boy! Now I demand that you come down and give me an explanation! Or I’ll- “Line in the Sand” by Moterhead hits and Randy Orton comes out to the ring with his Intercontinental Title and a microphone. He walks down the ramp, but stop before the ring. [b]Randy Orton[/b]: You want to know why you can’t talk to Master Eugene, old man? [b]William Regal[/b]: See here you little- [b]Randy Orton[/b]: Do you want an explanation or not? (Regal calms down) I thought so. You see, Eugene has finally come to his senses. He realized that you were always against him. We even got some video footage. [b]Chris Jericho[/b]: Well then, show the footage, monkeys! Orton’s video starts playing. It shows from the first time Eugene debuted on Raw, where William Regal was forced to manage Eugene. Then it shows various matches Eugene had from Raw and live events, where William Regal was trying to screw him out of them. [b]Randy Orton[/b]: You see, William, that's why Eugene came to realize that you were against him. That's why as of last week, Eugene ordered a hundred feet restraining order from you! Looks like you wont be anywhere near Master Eugene again! Randy Orton does the Orton Pose, then walks backstage. Both William Regal and Chris Jericho have shocked looks on their faces as we go to a commercial break. [b](80)[/b] [b]---Commercial Break---[/b] [b]J.R.[/b]: How dare Evolution! Now they’re forcing William Regal to stay away from Eugene! [b]Jerry “The King” Lawler[/b]: How do you know they forced him to? Randy Orton have some pretty good evide- [b]J.R.[/b]: You know they forced him to, bah gawd! “Line in the Sand” by Moterhead plays for the second time of the night, as Batista comes down to the ring, surprisingly to a few cheers for being in his hometown. Then “Live for the Moment” by Monster Magnet hits, and Matt Hardy comes down to the ring with Lita. Mattitude Fact #1:Matt loves chocolate pudding. Mattitude Fact #2: Matt was always the best Hardy Boy. Hardy gets in the ring, and the ref starts the first match of the night!
