Batista defeated his former mentor and friend Triple H to become the World Heavyweight Champion for the first time in his career. Meanwhile, John Cena defeated JBL to live his dream and become the WWE Champion. Instantly, two new stars were made. Cena and Batista would go on to become the faces of there respective brands and would go on to be the most popular wrestlers in the promotion after there title wins. Allthough it was a small difference, ratings began to rise as fans tuned into to see the new stars of WWE. One year later at Wrestlemania 22, Kurt Angle would defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio. Two established stars in there own right. Meanwhile John Cena would defend his WWE Championship against another established star in Triple H. Despite the fact there was a new champion in Rey Mysterio the following night, it seemed like barely anything had changed. Where was that break out star bursting into the main event scene for the first time ?. There wasn't one. And with that, ratings stayed the same. The slump in the industry continuing. WWE finally came to there senses as they rolled into Boston for the 2006 edition of Summerslam with the new WWE Champion Edge defending his title against John Cena in his hometown. The card was filled with big time matches but one thing stood out ... Only TWO people on the Summerslam card were under 30. Wasn't it about time that WWE made sure they had a future ?. Wasn't it about time that WWE started to develop some more younger talent to take the wrestling industry into the next era ?. WWE finally started to think so and immediately after Summerslam, WWE started to pay attention to there younger talent. Enough with relying on Nostalgia like DX and Hogan. It was time for WWE to make there future. It was time for the next boom period.

The following week on RAW, it seemed that Cena and Edge's tense rivarly was far from over. Edge opened the show introducing the new WWE Championship, a slightly altered version of Cena's Spinner belt when he was interuppted by none other than Jeff Hardy. The two faced off in a singles match later that night when Cena appeared. It looked like Edge was in more trouble than he thought! Cena and Edge fought out to the pier where Cena chucked the champion and his new championship into the river. It wasn't a good night for the Rated R Superstar ... Meanwhile another heated rivalry was heating up even more. At the end of the night Vince McMahon seemed to of had enough of DX and there antics. Throughout RAW, DX vandalised the McMahons private jet and even the offices of the WWE! DX wasn't Vince's only worries though as Mick Foley joined the 'Kiss My Ass' club at the end of the night and was then fired courtesy of former friend Melina. In other parts of the show, tempers flared between Randy Orton and Carlito and the Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga got revenge on Kane after the Big Red Monster foiled Umaga's plans at Summerslam. On the last RAW of August, Edge opened the show with Lita by his side. But she wasn't the only one at the Rated R Superstars side. Edge said that he would never be embarassed like he was last week when he was thrown into the river by John Cena, why ?. Because Edge had hired a bodyguard, he then introduced a new name to the WWE in Braddock. In the mainevent, Edge & Randy Orton defeated the pair of Carlito and John Cena with the help of Lita and Braddock at ringside. At the end of RAW, Cena was left for dead after Braddock showed how impressive he really is by completely knocking out the Doctor Of Thuganomics. It was advantage Edge going into September. Last week Vince McMahon and Melina fired a Hardcore legend in Mick Foley but the problems with Mick Foley weren't over. Early in the night, Ric Flair of all people approached Vince McMahon and demandd he rehire Mick Foley. Vince explained that he had other things to worry about and that his problems with Foley were over but Flair made it his job to get Foley back and so he requested that Foley come out to the ring next week on RAW. Meanwhile D-Generation X were causing havoc again, this time DX were at the second home of the WWE, Madison Square Garden. DX announced that WWE RAW would be in the MSG on September 11th. They said that this was an important show for Vince .... and that they were going to ruin it. Throughout the night various segments showed DX sparying DX across the ring canvas and the seats and even the backstage setup. Mr. McMahon was only able to look on as the real home of the WWE was vandalised by DX. The Intercontinental Champion, Johnny Nitro made an appearance on RAW with Melina by his side. They bragged about what happened last week between Mick Foley and Melina but before they could really rip into Mick Foley, Jeff Hardy made an apperance and challenged Nitro to a match with the Intercontinental Championship on the line tonight! Johnny Nitro refused the offer and backed off out of the ring, Hardy meanwhile was given a sneaky low blow from behind thanks to Melina. Was Nitro scared of losing his title to Jeff Hardy ?. Speaking of Titles, the Tag Team Titles were on the line on RAW with the Spirit Squad picking up the win over the Highlanders to retain. The Highlanders were on there way to there first title win when Jim Duggan interfered with his partner Eugene but made a critical mistake. Duggan slashed his 2 by 4 plank of wood in the air attempting to hit Kenny but he ducked and Duggan flogged Rory in the head. Kenny then headed up top and hit his Legdrop for the 3 count. Eugene and Duggan tried to apologise to the Highlanders but they ignored them and walked off somewhat annoyed at what happened. WWE was looking good going into September with compelling undercard fueds and some much needed refereshments in the main event fueds. Would WWE be able to keep some sort of momentum going into there next PPV Unforgiven ?. [i]----------------------------------------------------------------------[/center] Ok. Well the other recaps will probably be in a different style, it depends. Anyway, comments on each recap and the booking is appreciated. Thanks for reading. [/i]

On the first RAW of September it was announced that Unforgiven would take place in Edge's hometown. Was it time for payback ?. Was it time that Edge in his hometown, lost to Cena just like Cena did to Edge at Summerslam ?. The hometown scenario wasn't the only thing going into Unforgiven. Edge made it a lot more interesting. Coming into September he was on top of the world, his hiring of a bodyguard proved to be a smart decision as Braddock knocked Cena out cold on the last RAW of August. With that, he was more ****ier than ever and he challenged Cena to a match at Unforgiven that he knew Cena couldn't win. Jeff Hardy's return reminded him of somethng. Tables, Ladders and Chairs. And with that Edge challenged Cena to a TLC match in Edge's hometown. Later that night, a contract signing was announced for the next week in Madison Square Garden. That next week in the MSG, John Cena knew that if he signed the contract for Unforgiven he had the odds stacked against him. He had never participated in a TLC matchup, Edge however had participated in many. Another advantage Edge had over Cena was the fact that he had newcomer, Braddock on his side, not to mention Lita who has allways been a thorn in Cena's side ever since he and Edge became enemies. Never the less, Cena had overcome the odds before and he signed the contract for the match at Unforgiven. Could he prove Edge wrong ?. Could he work in a TLC enviroment ?. DX continued to humiliate The McMahons going into September and on the first show of the month, DX reminded Vince that next week at the MSG, it would be DX country. HBK and Triple H then showed photos of the whole arena being vandalised with DX grafiti. But despite DX's attempts, Vince didn't snap. Vince left the building after announcing that he has had enough and that he will be taking leave for the whole month and giving full control to his son, Shane who wasn't so keen on doing the job his father was. That next week at the MSG, from the very start it looked like it was going to be DX's night. Madison Square Garden was draped in DX grafiti from the seats to the squared circle as the show went live and it stayed there until the very end. But Shane gave DX a warning that they weren't expecting. As DX opened the show, Shane interuppted and told them that if they did anything stupid from now on they would be joining the 'Kiss My Ass club' ... SHANE'S Kiss My Ass Club. Despite there differences, Ric Flair was desperate to get Mick Foley back in the WWE after he was fired post Summerslam. On the September 4th edition of Monday Night RAW, Flair called Foley out to face him in the ring, he had beaten him in a 2 out of 3 falls match and he had beaten him in an I Quit match, he just wanted Foley to come back and tell him that he was the better man, he was the better wrestler and that he beat Foley at his own game proving that he was just as Hardcore as Foley. Unfortunately for Flair, Foley did not come out. The following week on RAW, Flair was scheduled to face Rob Conway but suprisingly Flair would lose the match to Conway after Mick Foley's music played during the match distracting Flair. Allthough the Hardcore Legends music played he never came out to face Flair. Post match, Ric Flair said that at Unforgiven he would call out Mick Foley one last time and if he doesn't come out he is going to track him down, come to his house and drag him down to the ring. Randy Orton and Carlito would spend the majority of September training after it was announced on WWE.com that they would take each other on at Unforgiven. Randy Orton seemed to have the advantage over Carlito as the two headed into Unforgiven when Orton hit the RKO on Carlito after a match with Matt Striker. The next week, Carlito's Cabana returned for one night only and Carlito's guest was ofcourse, Randy Orton. 'The Legend Killer' explained that after Hogan beat him at Summerslam he planned to continue with Hogan unitl Orton could beat him but Hogan's body broke and so Orton decided to take a break from killing Hulkamania. Orton explained that Carlito was never in Orton's list of people to beat but when Carlito attacked Orton after Summerslam, he was on top of that list all of a sudden. Before Randy could continue, Carlito spat an apple directly at Orton and then hit him with the Backcracker. Carlito said that Orton proved that he could kill legends, but he never proved to anybody that he could beat the Coolest wrestler in the WWE. Was Carlito right ?. Or Would Orton come out of Unforgiven on top ? The week after Summerslam, Umaga showed Kane how dangerous he really is by crushing his throat. Kane would not be well enough to show up until Unforgiven. The match was announced but without Kane showing up until then, there was no interaction between the two and little hype. The week before Unforgiven Armando Allejandro Estrada suggested that Kane should not show up at Unforgiven because after Umaga is finished with him he would be out of action forever. After Duggan accidentally hit Rory over the head with his 2 by 4 on the last RAW in August, Rory would be out of action thus the team of The Highlanders were out for the September 4th edition of RAW ... or were they ?. Duggan and Eugene would take the Highlanders place in a Tag Team Title matchup against the Spirit Squad. While having problems of there own, Spirit Squad were clearly dominating the matchup until Duggan and his teamate gained some momentum, it looked like they were about to win the match when the Highlanders ran down to the ring and 'accidentally' caused Duggan and Eugene to lose to the Spirit Squad. The next week on RAW a No.1 Contenders match was made with the Highlanders taking on Eugene & Duggan. The winner going on to face the Tag Team champs at Unforgiven. The two teams started the match fairly bitter at each other but after a suprisingly solid bout which the Highlanders won the two teams shook hands in respect for one another. The Highlanders were going to face the Tag Champs at Unforgiven and Duggan and Eugene were happy for them ... The Tag Team Tiltes weren't the only other titles on the line at Unforgiven. It was announced on the last RAW before the PPV that Johnny Nitro would defend his Intercontinental Title against Jeff Hardy where the title can change hands over DQ or countout. This came into effect after Hardy was cheated out of the IC Title over the past 2 weeks, on the September 4th edition of RAW, Hardy won a match with Nitro's IC Title on the line but by Countout after Nitro walked out on the match. Then, the next week, Hardy yet again won the match with the IC Title on the line but this time, Nitro layed Hardy out with a steel chair giving Hardy the win but only over DQ. Both times, the title didn't change hands with the normal match rules. At Unforgiven, Nitro will have to obey the rules to keep his title around his waist ....

Yet again, comments on anything in the diary are appreciated. Thanks for reading[/i]

[juggaloninjalee]

I am enjoying this recap and I like how you are carrying out the feuds. Who is Braddock? Does he go by another name in OVW or what? Is he a made up guy by you? This is getting interesting and I can't wait to see how you build this up to Wrestlemania in Detroit at Ford Field.

[totti]

Its a great read so far. It will be interesting to find our where your going with the fueds heading into Unforgiven.

[QUOTE=juggaloninjalee;139826]Who is Braddock? Does he go by another name in OVW or what?[/QUOTE] New name of Amish Roadkill. The backstory seems interesting, but as it's only at Unforgiven, it might take a while to get to the start point in 07.

[Maxi]

Thanks for the feedback guys! It is much appreciated and im glad your enjoying it. And yes, its Roadkill from ECW who teamed with Danny Doring. He was set for a big push in WWE in real life so i thought i would do the same and here he is as Edge's bodyguard. I think i made a good use of him as he has worked well so far.

The only match that was marketable was the Main Event, a TLC matchup between two of the biggest enemies of 2006. This was advertised as the blowoff to there almost 8 month long rivalry and what a blowoff it was. The question everyone was asking before Unforgiven was 'Could John Cena overcome the odds again ?'. Cena was going into ths PPV a huge underdog, despite his size and ability he was heading into a match he had never been in and the man he was facing was accompanied to the ring by two dangerous enemies in Lita and Braddock who were certain to play a part in the match. Before the match, Edge said that this would be John Cena's last chance, if he couldn't win this time he would never face Edge again. It turned out that hiring Braddock was Edge's best decision yet as he single handedly got the victory for Edge, ruining John Cena's chance to have WWE gold around his waist once again. If Edge was down and Cena was climbing the ladder, Braddock would knock that ladder down. If Edge and Cena were both on the ladder Braddock would throw Cena off. It was unfair all the way through and no matter how much Cena fought, Braddock would take him down. At the end of the day, Cena could not claim the WWE Championship and Edge would. All thanks to Braddock. But despite the loss, John Cena would end up on top smashing Braddock with a chair after the match. Cena seemed to have a new buzz about him after the TLC match, a more intense look on his face. Was there going to be a new John Cena coming out of Unforgiven ?. The next night on RAW, John Cena answered that question with a big yes, violently pounding away on Braddock after a match but luckily for Braddock, security rushed to the ring to take Cena away. Later on in the night Lita suggested Braddock make a run for it to get away from Cena and a suprisingly scared Braddock agreed. As Braddock headed for a Taxi outside the arena John Cena attacked again and threw Braddock's head through the car window and shouted 'Theres your F*cking Taxi!' before security yet again pulled Cena away. Had 'The Doctor of Thuganomics' gone insane ?. Meanwhile, the WWE Champion Edge was strolling into RAW happy, finally his life seemed to be going in the right direction and his rivalry with John Cena seemed to be over for the timebeing and therefore he felt the need for a celebration ... a celebration for a new era in the WWE, the Rated R Era. Near the end of the show the party started with confetti dropping down from the ceiling and Edge and Lita bragging about how great of a year 2006 has been for them. Finally, Lita presented a video package that she had made for her champion, Edge. As the video package stopped cameras caught Edge crying as RAW ended he proclaimed that this was a perfect start to the Era of the Rated R Superstar. Vince McMahon was still recuperating at home after DX almost drove him insane. Shane was taking temporary control of the WWE while Vince was gone and he was doing a suprisingly good job keeping DX off of the Unforgiven card and keeping them restricted as much as possible and the RAW after Unforgiven was another good day for Shane in office. At the start of the show Shane announced that he had hired a bunch of security guards and if DX step one foot in the ring from now on, they will be arrested. Shane continued by saying that once they had been arrested they would be forced to join SHANE's Kiss My Ass Club. With that said, DX never stepped foot in the ring the whole night. It looked like Shane had done everything his father couldn't ... At Unforgiven, Randy Orton and Carlito took each other on in an exciting fast paced bout where both men felt the need to prove to the world who the real future star was. After almost 15 minutes in the ring the match looked to be Carlito's but that all changed when none other than Mr. Kennedy walked down the ramp! Carlito was majorly confused at what he was doing but before he could think of an answer he was swept off his feet from behind by Orton with a rollup for the 3 count! Orton had won the match but just like Carlito he too was confused to see Mr. Kennedy but even more confused to see he wasn't on the ramp anymore. Orton turned around and was smashed to the ground with a brutal chairshot by Mr. Kennedy, Carlito would get the same punishment. The following night, Mr. Kennedy would make his RAW debut. After introducing himself to the crowd the only way he can he asked 'the monkeys backstage' to roll the footage. This footage ofcourse was that of him intruding in the Orton v Carlito matchup and knocking them both down with a chairshot. Kenedy then explained that he has signed a contract with WWE RAW at Unforgiven and he was backtage watching the event on the tv. He explained that he was disgusted that there was a match dubbed the 'battle of the future stars' between Randy Orton and Carlito. Kennedy continued, saying that he intruded because if there was a battle of future stars it should include him. Carlito interuppted Kennedy's speech and took exception to his comments telling Kennedy that he and Orton would of put on an amazing match if he hadn't interfered. Carlito and Mr. Kenneddy's war of words continued until Randy Orton rushed into the ring and hit the RKO on both of them in a shocking turn of events. Ric Flair promised the fans that he was going to be at Unforgiven to ask Mick Foley to come out and after cutting a long promo on the two's history ... nothing happened. Flair reminded Foley that if he didn't come out at Unforgiven, the Nature Boy would come to his house and drag him down to the ring. Foley still didn't come out at Unforgiven and with that, Flair left frustrated and annoyed that Foley wouldn't come out. On RAW the following night, Ric Flair broke down in the ring proclaiming that he couldn't track down Foley's exact whereabouts but he does know what city he lives in and next week, RAW is in Foley's hometown. Flair tells the fans that he is going to do everything in his power to get Foley in the ring with him in his hometown and if he can't do it next week he is going to do something extreme .... Speaking of extreme, that is the definition of Kane and Umaga's match at Unforgiven. Umaga was at Unforgiven to continue his undefeated streak but Kane didn't care about winning, he just wanted to hurt Umaga. And both got what they wanted. Kane came to the ring wtih a garbage can full of weapons and left 5 minutes later with blood all over his chest. The actual match between the two lasted all of 5 seconds before Kane hit Umaga with a garbage lid for the DQ loss. After hitting Umaga with the garbage lid, Kane continued with a kendo stick and even chucked powder into the Samoan Bulldozer's face. And to finish it off he tombstoned Umaga through the Spanish Announce Table. A day later and Kane returned to defeat Rob Conway and after the match he gave an almost identical beating to Conway that he did to Umaga. Were we seeing a new, more extreme Kane in the WWE ?. [b]-----------------------------------------------------------------[/b][/center] [i]Look, i will be honest with you. This update was all over the place.
