WWE: Rebirth

[QUOTE=chris caulfield;307606]Great show and wow Shawn is back. But on which brand?[/QUOTE] He was Vince McMahon's special #30... So SmackDown. [QUOTE=Mtm2k6;307685]Great show, think you did the right thing with the Rumble, athough I could have swore Azreal or Gabriel would have won ;) Kendrick should definitely get a Mania shot now! :) Best part of the night though has gotta be the Angle is convinced Edge is #30 angles, really funny![/QUOTE] Thanks for the kind words, and yeah, there's always a bunch of tag team guys who never stand a chance in the Rumble, and the Lost Boyz haven't won a match yet, why start now? Good to see the people still love Kendrick... And yeah, the Angle thing was fun to write, didn't quite come out as funny on paper as it did in my head when I thought of it though... You've gotta remember, I planned this PPV out weeks ago... But didn't write anything down. So I kind of forgot some stuff, as far as details go. Hell, I had to use the big 'X' in the corner a couple of times while my show was running, because I'd forgotten angles (Yeah, I'm a cheat... But it's for the good of the company :D) Thanks for the feedback, and Lexa, I got your PM, thanks for the quick response. EDIT: And for those of you who haven't, get over to the DOTM thread and Vote for Rebirth, I'm only down by one vote!

[QUOTE]He was Vince McMahon's special #30... So SmackDown.[/QUOTE] Oh yeah completely forgot as I was just so surprised he was back. I'm just thinking about his possible matches for wrestlemania. Origional Heartbreak Kid vs. The New Heartbreak Kid or even HHH vs. HBK for the title. Wrestlemania is going to be great.

[QUOTE=chris caulfield;308229]Wrestlemania is going to be great.[/QUOTE] I sure hope so!

[G-Prime]

Don't forget to vote in DOTM! I'm soooo close to winning it this month. I know I should post RAW, but I was hoping to get a new cut of Ken Anderson with both his shiny title belts first, but if nothing comes up in the Cut Request thread, I'll just post the show tomorrow morning.

[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/rawlogo.jpg[/IMG] Monday, February, Week 1[/CENTER][/B] Styles: Ladies and gentlemen, we're coming to you LIVE from Alumni Hall in New York, only on America One! I'm Joey Styles... Corny: And I'm Jim Cornette, and boy, wasn't the Royal Rumble really something Joey? Styles: Sure was Jim, and it was amazing, just being there. Corny: Every match was huge, but you've gotta think, if the Royal Rumble was that great, then WrestleMania is going to have to be the greatest card in the history of the world. Styles: And it just might be. But WrestleMania is 55 days away, and we've got a lot of ground to cover before then. Corny: Starting with tonight's main event, a Royal Rumble Rematch, The Undertaker is invoking his rematch clause, so our main event will be Ken Anderson defending his newly won Intercontinental Championship against The Undertaker. A graphic appears onscreen. Styles: And if last night was any indication, it's going to be... dare I say... a slobberknocker. (Rating: A) 'My Spirit Will Go On' by Dragonforce hits... (From 0:38, cutting the intro) The crowd pops when they see the winner of the Royal Rumble, Paul London standing in the entranceway. He makes his way down to the ring, grabbing a mic from ringside on his way. He brings the mic up to speak, but the crowd continues to cheer, so he pauses, soaking it in. "Thank you..." He begins, but the crowd just keeps cheering, a 'LON-DON' chant starts up. He waits until they die down... "Thank you... I couldn't have done it without all your support." The crowd cheers again. "Last night, I did what no-one else believed I could do... I won the Royal Rumble... I went from bell to bell, and I like to think I put on one hell of a show doing it!" *LON-DON!!! LON-DON!!!* "So all last night, I had a decision to make... While I was out partying, celebrating the win... At WrestleMania, I'm in the main event... But I've still gotta choose who I'm facing... Will it be the WWE Champion Ken Anderson here on RAW... Or the World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H on SmackDown?... Well, I put a lot of thought into it, and spoke to both chairmen all day today... And I've made my decision... Ladies and gentlemen, at WrestleMania 23: Rebirth, it's going to be Paul London facing... TRIPLE H!!! I'm going to SmackDown!" The crowd seems confused by this decision. "I know, you're all thinking 'Why face the veteran, when you can face the rookie?'... It's simple. On RAW, I'm all alone... But on SmackDown, as we found out last night... There's someone who's got my back... The Main Event, The Icon, The Showstoppa! The REAL HeartBreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!" The crowd pops. (Rating: B+) "But I felt kinda guilty, abandoning the Lightweight Division like I am... So I spoke to Vince McMahon and arranged a replacement... Ladies and gentlemen, the latest addition to the Lightweight Division... from Nagoya, Japan... Ultimo Dragon!" London announces, and the crowd pops a little. Ultimo joins London in the ring. "And I'd hate to go out without giving you guys one last match on RAW, and I'd be honoured if Ultimo Dragon would be my opponent." London says, to a bigger pop, which only increases when Ultimo nods and shakes London's hand. (Rating: B) John Bradshaw Layfield appears on the TitanTron. "As much as I'd like to see Paul London beat the only Lightweight on my show that he hasn't already, I've got plans for both of you tonight... Starting with a match after the break, between Ultimo Dragon, Jimmy Yang and 'Five Star Flash' Mark Belton... And it's for the #1 Contendership to Billy the Kid's Lightweight Championship!" JBL says. (Rating: B-) *Break* [B][CENTER]#1 Contender's Match [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/UltimoDragon.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/JimmyYang.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR="White"](w/[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/blank.jpg[/IMG])[/COLOR][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/fivestarflashkyky.jpg[/IMG](w/[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/WilliamRegal2.jpg[/IMG]) Ultimo Dragon vs Mark Belton (w/Regal) vs Jimmy Yang[/CENTER][/B] All three wrestlers look good out there, but the debuting Ultimo Dragon picks up the win, scoring the pinfall on Belton, following an Asai DDT. (Rating: B) *Break* 'MIS-TER!!! AN-DER-SON!!! ANDERSON!' Ken Anderson makes his way to the ring, with both of his title belts and, surprise surprise, a microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the reigning WWE Champion, and NEW Intercontinental Champion, the only double-champion in the WWE today!... MIS-TER!!! AN-DER-SON!!!" He climbs the turnbuckle, and the crowd joins him... "ANDERSON!" "Tonight, you are all lucky enough to see a rematch of the greatest match in the history of the WWE... The Fastest Rising Star in Sports Entertainment history... The man who is single handedly changing Monday Nights... The man with all the gold... Ken Anderson... Defending his Intercontinental Championship against The Phenom... The Deadman... The Undertaker. But don't think that tonight's going to be any different to last night... Because when all is said and done, I will still hold both belts, and I'll be adding one more victory over the Undertaker to my record." (Rating: A) The Big Show is walking backstage. Styles: Well, up next he'll be taking on Mr Grenier of the Representa- What? Randy Orton has just blindsided The Big Show with a steel chair, which he bashes into the giant's skull repeatedly. "You shouldn't have eliminated me from the Royal Rumble." Orton says, throwing the chair onto the giant's limp form. (Rating: A*) *Break* [B][CENTER] [COLOR="White"](w/[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/blank.jpg[/IMG])[/COLOR][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/BigShow.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/Sylvain.jpg[/IMG](w/[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/Scotty2Hotty.jpg[/IMG]) Big Show vs Mr Grenier (w/Taylor)[/CENTER][/B] Big Show has had his head hastily bandaged, and looks somewhat groggy, but still puts up a decent fight against the leader of the Representatives, that is until Taylor distracts the referee long enough for Hernandez to enter the ring with a chair and knock the Big Show senseless, before bailing. Taylor leaves the ref, allowing him to make the count as Grenier pins Show... 1...2...3 (Rating: B+) Angel Williams is backstage with Teddy Hart and Nattie Neidhart. "Teddy, last night your match against Billy the Kid had to be removed from the PPV, due to time constraints, but we did see the replay, and Billy the Kid pinned you, what are your thoughts?" Angel asks. "My thoughts Angel? I was screwed out of that Lightweight Championship. Plain and simple. Billy, you think this is over, just because there's a new #1 Contender? I'm just getting started... I will get another title shot, so you'd better watch your back." Teddy says. "Billy should've known better than to mess with the New Hart Foundation." Nattie adds. (Rating: B-) JBL is in his office when Kurt Angle bursts in. "Damnit Bradshaw! You screwed me out of my title shot!" Angle says. "Calm down Kurt, I didn't screw you out of anything." JBL replies. "Were you even watching last night? I didn't win the Royal Rumble, and you guaranteed that I would." Angle is pretty p*ssed off. "I didn't guarantee you anything. It's not my fault you didn't win." "But it is your fault I didn't get my rematch at the Royal Rumble... So here's how it's going to work... You're going to give me the WrestleMania title shot, or I'm going to break your freakin' ankle!" "Kurt, I don't respond well to threats... But you're right, you deserve the chance to get your title back... But if you want the shot at WrestleMania, you've got to prove you're good enough... If the SmackDown main event is going to have the winner of the Royal Rumble, then we're going to have to go one better... We're going to have someone who has beaten the winner of the Royal Rumble." "What the hell are you talking about?" "Tonight, it's Kurt Angle vs Paul London, and if you win, you're the #1 Contender at WrestleMania." "That's what I wanted to hear... Paul London's not even going to make it to WrestleMania." "You'd better head out there, that match is up next." (Rating: A) *Break* [B][CENTER] [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/KAngle4_ndp.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/PaulLondon4.jpg[/IMG] Kurt Angle vs Paul London[/CENTER][/B] Words don't describe this match... It's breathtaking... Kurt Angle's great all-round game is countered perfectly by London's high-flying technique, but the youngster also gets a chance to show off his ground game against the greatest technician in the sport. London proves just how far he's come this past year, scoring the upset victory following the London Star Press. (Rating: A*) *Break* Rene Dupree is standing in the ring, mic in hand. "Randy Orton! You put the Big Show in the hospital tonight... Well the saying goes 'If they put one of yours in the hospital, you put one of theirs in the morgue...' So I'm calling you out! You and me, in this ring, next week on RAW!" He says. (Rating: C+) 'Hey... Nothing you can say...' Randy Orton steps out onto the stage and heads into the ring, standing toe-to-toe with Dupree. "You think you're worth my time?" Orton sneers. "I've got the clause in my contract saying I don't have to compete on free TV, but I'm going to make an exception, to teach you a lesson... You're on!" (Rating: A) Orton cheap-shots Dupree with the mic, before laying the boots in, but it's not long before Rob Conway hits the ring and chases him out. Conway helps his partner to his feet, as the Resistance stand tall. (Rating: B+) *Break* [B][CENTER][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/WWEIntercontinental-1.jpg[/IMG] WWE Intercontinental Championship [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/KenAnderson2.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/TheUndertaker3.jpg[/IMG] Ken Anderson vs The Undertaker[/CENTER][/B] This match is exactly what we've come to expect from these two, perfection. The crowd are going nuts from bell to bell... The Undertaker wins via DQ, following a blatant shot to the head with the IC title belt. (Rating: A*) JBL appears on the TitanTron. "Congratulations Anderson. You managed to hang on to that title belt until No Way Out... Because you'll be defending it. Next week, there's going to be a fatal four-way between Lance Storm, William Regal, Rodney Mack and Chris Masters, and the winner will face you, Ken Anderson, for that Intercontinental Championship!" JBL announces, to a decent pop. (Rating: B) "But that's not all I'm announcing tonight... I've got another match booked for No Way Out... It's to decide the #1 Contender to your WWE Championship at WrestleMania... It's going to be Kurt Angle facing... The UNDERTAKER!!!" JBL finishes.

Sorry buddy, I meant to post after the Rumble and completely forgot! :o I like London winning, I thought it was a bit of a shock and it demonstrates how good you are at creating new stars. And the chance of HBK vs Kendrick makes me a very happy young man... Out of interest, did you add the Kendrick - London match at the end to boost the overall show rating?

[G-Prime]

[QUOTE=keefmoon;309160]Out of interest, did you add the Kendrick - London match at the end to boost the overall show rating?[/QUOTE] The purpose was two-fold... First of all, the ending to the Rumble (which I thought was necessary, as London's not quite on Kendrick's level, let alone the other major stars) doesn't fit with London's character, he's a face, and he wants to earn the other's respect, so he'd want to feel as though he deserved the win. Second, battle royals tend to have horrible ratings, and (as Adam mentioned in Anubis' last debacle of a thread) a bad main event brings the whole card down, so I had to put something after it, and London vs Kendrick always delivers. It was mostly to build London's character though.

[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/smackdownlogo.jpg[/IMG] Friday, February, Week 1[/CENTER][/B] 'Are you ready?' Brian Kendrick walks down to the ring alone. "Cut the music!" He yells into the mic. "Last week, we booked this mic time to celebrate D-X's domination of the Royal Rumble..." *BOO!* "But let's see... Garrison Cade isn't European Champion," *YAY!* "Triple H barely held onto his title..." *BOO!* "And then there's me... I was in the Royal Rumble match... I lasted from the 4th entry! Number 4! I outlasted 27 other men! I would've had the Royal Rumble match won... If not for my former best friend, Paul London. And not to mention the old HeartBreak Kid, Shawn Michaels... Roll the footage." [quote=Royal Rumble] - Michaels shakes Kendrick's hand in a show of respect, then moves to shake London's, but instead hits Kendrick with Sweet Chin Music, before throwing the New HeartBreak Kid over the top rope.[/quote] *H-B-K! H-B-K! H-B-K!* "I shook his hand! I wanted a fair fight... And then he blindsided me! And then, it wasn't enough for Paul London to win the match... Oh no... They had to go a step further..." [quote=Royal Rumble]Paul London grabs a mic. "I'm not going to win the match like that. Brian, get your ass in here. We'll have a singles match, and the winner gets the WrestleMania title shot!" WrestleMania Title Shot Paul London vs Brian Kendrick These two are worn out, as can be expected, so the match is a little slow. Kendrick makes a pin attempt, but Shawn Michaels is up on the apron, distracting the ref. Kendrick gets up and complains, and Paul London scores a roll-up 1...2...3! London wins the Royal Rumble... Again. [/quote] "I'm holding the two of you personally responsible for me not getting that title shot at WrestleMania! So I don't care if it's you Paul, or if it's the Has-Been Kid, someone's getting their ass kicked tonight, so who's it gonna be?" Kendrick challenges. (Rating: B+) 'No Chance! That's what you've got!' Cole: Well, I highly doubt it's going to be this man... "Brian, I'm afraid I can't let you call them out tonight... You see, Shawn Michaels is making his return to WWE network television, and I thought it should be something special... So in tonight's main event, it's going to be Shawn Michaels facing... John Cena!" *YAY!!!* "And that match is the first time those two have been in the ring as opponents!" Vince says. (Rating: A) "What about London then? Can I kick his ass instead?" Kendrick asks. "After Sunday's performance? I doubt you could kick Paul London's ass." Vince jokes. "Were you even watching that match?" Kendrick splutters. "Yes. He pinned you, one... two... three." "I can make up for it. Give me a match with him tonight." "Paul London wrestled two nights in a row. He went the full hour at the Pay Per View, and then faced the Olympic Gold Medallist, Kurt Angle on RAW. You only want to fight him because he's tired." "I want to make up for Sunday's travesty." "Well that's too bad, I'm not letting Paul London wrestle tonight, he needs the rest." "Are you kidding? What about next week?" "We'll see." (Rating: A) "But seeing as you want some action this week, I've got an idea... You can face another man who was in the Royal Rumble." Vince says. "Fine. Who is it?" Kendrick asks. "KANE!" Vince shouts, and Kendrick looks mortified. (Rating: A) *Break* [B][CENTER] #1 Contender's Match [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/hardyz.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/briscoes.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/mnm.jpg[/IMG] The Hardys vs MNM vs Briscoe Brothers[/CENTER][/B] Well, now that the Backseat Boyz had their rematch, it's time to find who the next challengers are going to be... As the only heels in the match, with face champions, it's no surprise when Melina interferes, allowing MNM to score a Snapshot on Matt Hardy, Johnny Nitro scoring the pin. (Rating: B) Cole: Well, at No Way Out it's going to be MNM facing the monsters, Bob Inc! Coach: Bob Inc might be unstoppable, but MNM have the lovely Melina in their corner. A graphic for No Way Out appears, with the match on it. (Rating: B) *Break* Jeremy Borash is standing by with the European Champion, Sean O'Haire, and his psychiatrist, Dr Bayless. "Mr O'Haire, Garrison Cade attacked you pretty badly Sunday night... Do you have any comments?" JB asks. Bayless grabs the microphone. "Cade's attack at the Royal Rumble was heinous, with a blatant disregard for the rules, and for Mr O'Haire's well-being." She says. O'Haire puts his hand on her shoulder, calming her... "If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain? Listen! I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again. Out there is a fortune waiting to be had... You think I'll let it go? You're mad... You got another thing comin'." O'Haire says, before laughing his evil laugh. (Rating: B-) In Degeneration X's locker room, Cade and Kendrick are watching the show on a monitor, Cade looks like he's just crapped himself. "O'Haire's going to come after me?" Cade says. "What did you expect? You kicked him in the nuts. You don't forget crap like that." Kendrick replies. "But... He'll kill me." Cade says. "Dude, you showed on Sunday, you can handle him. It's all good... But my problems are a little more than that..." "Kane?" "No. Shawn Michaels. He cost me the Royal Rumble... Twice. He'll pay for that. He might have taught us everything he knows, but I've got a new mentor now... Speak of the devil..." Triple H walks in. "Does that punk London have a death wish?" Trips asks. "I know right? I mean, who the hell would challenge you?" Kendrick replies. "Uhhh, weren't you going to if you'd won Sunday?" Cade asks. "That's different. I'm waaaaay above Paul's level." Kendrick argues. "Which is why he beat yo-" "Shawn Michaels did it." Kendrick cuts him off. "I'm glad he did... Looks like my old buddy came through for me one last time... I'm gonna have the easiest WrestleMania of my career." Triple H smiles. "And at this rate, I'm going to miss my first WrestleMania opportunity." Kendrick says. "Well, I'll be European Champion by then." Cade says. "Wow, that was a quick turn around... Guess I'm quite the motivational speaker." Kendrick says. "No, I just figured you'd help me out, seeing as you've got nothing better to do." "Yeah... I don't do the lackey thing." Kendrick says. "But I helped you with O'Haire." "Yeah... And?" Trips and Kendrick both look down at Cade, which is no mean feat, seeing as he's taller than both of them... "Oh... Right... Lackey." Cade says. "Trips, help me out... What am I gonna do about Michaels? I know you'll punish London for me..." "Michaels isn't gonna be a problem... I've beaten him dozens of times." "Yeah, but you're The Game." Cade interrupts. "Yeah, you're that damn good." Kendrick adds. "You two are idiots." Trips shakes his head. "We try." Kendrick says. (Rating: B+) Elsewhere, Carlito confronts Booker T. "Are you gonna run away Booker?" Carlito asks. "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Carlito?" Booker asks. "At the Royal Rumble, you ran away from Carlito like a little girl." Carlito says. "Like a girl? You a sexist too?" Booker asks. "Carlito isn't sexist. He's not even a racist! Get over it!" Carlito says. "I only left that match so I wouldn't be enabling a bigot's hate-crime." Booker says. "You only left because you knew Carlito was going to beat you 1...2...3. So you ran away. That's not cool. But this isn't over." Carlito walks away in disgust. (Rating: A) Back in the interview area. "JB here... I'm here with the Tag Team Champions, Bobby Lashley and Bob Sapp... Guys, we just found out who you'll be facing at No Way Out... Got any thoughts?" Borash asks. "Apparently our little feud with the Backseat Boyz wasn't enough... You still need to be told." Lashley says. "We don't care who we have to face... Anyone who challenges us will be broken!" Sapp says. "MNM are former multiple-time tag team champions... Aren't you a little worried?" JB asks. "MNM are little men... They don't stand a chance against us." Lashley says. "We'll eat them for breakfast!" Sapp finishes. (Rating: C+) *Break* [B][CENTER] [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/thBrianKendrickAAF3.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/KaneMask3.jpg[/IMG] Brian Kendrick vs Kane[/CENTER][/B] Kendrick's speed and technique are enough to successfully counter Kane's size and power, allowing the two to put on a good, even match... Right up until the Chokeslam. Kane makes the pin, but Kendrick reverses with a small package and a handful of tights to score the upset. (Rating: B) Kendrick runs out of the ring before Kane can get revenge, stopping only when he reaches the safety of the stage, before raising his hands in victory. (Rating: B+) *Break* "This is Jeremy Borash, and I'm standing by with the HeartBreak Kid, Shawn Michaels... Shawn, welcome back." JB says, and the crowd pops. "It's good to be back JB." Shawn replies. "Shawn, tonight you're in the main event against a former two-time WWE Champion, John Cena... Can I get your thoughts?" JB asks. "My thoughts? I think the John Cena is one of the top stars in this industry today, and it's gonna be great to go toe-to-toe with him." Shawn says. "Really? I'm not used to an interview without someone threatening someone... It's weird." "Well, I've got nothing against Cena. He's a great competitor... We're gonna have a good match out there... To quote a great philosopher... 'I'm gonna give you match the likes of which you've never, ever seen. Why? Because I can.'" "Great philosopher... That was you." "I know." "Right... Anyway, nothing else to say about Cena?" "Just this... John, if Triple H wasn't such a dirtbag, you'd be the WWE Champion right now, and I would have been honoured to face you for that title some day." (Rating: B) "You mentioned Triple H... What do you think about his reformation of D-X using your former students?" JB asks. "Triple H was my best friend for years... We started D-X together, along with Rick Rude, and some other guy... We always had each other's backs... Then when I came back last time, in 2002, it had all changed... And ever since, we've been rivals. Brian Kendrick and Garrison Cade... I trained them alongside Paul London and another guy who works mainly indy shows..." *DANIELSON! DANIELSON! (South East crowds...)* "They've got the potential to be huge stars, all of them, but I don't think Triple H will show them the right path." "Speaking of Brian Kendrick... He challenged you earlier tonight, and he's been using your name for months... Any comment?" "Brian, I'll have that match any time, any place you want. Believe that. And as for him using my name? He can knock himself out, because the fans know there's only one Main Event... One Icon... One ShowStoppa!!! Only one HeartBreak Kid... And that's Shawn Michaels." (Rating: B+) Elsewhere, we see Paul London and Vince McMahon talking, but the camera is too far away to hear it... Probably just business... They shake hands and London walks away, leaving Vince looking thoughtful. (Rating: A) *Break* [B][CENTER] [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/ShawnMichaels.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/JohnCena-1.jpg[/IMG] Shawn Michaels vs John Cena[/CENTER][/B] The match begins with a handshake, Cena acknowledging the legend, HBK acknowledging the star. They lock-up and from then it's an even, fair matchup, and the crowd are pumped (as expected). But after 19 minutes, Brian Kendrick is in the ring, and hits HBK with a SuperKick, as Cade and Triple H hit the ring, beating down HBK, before turning on Cena... (Rating: A) The crowd pops as Paul London charges down the ramp and takes out Triple H with a springboard hurracanrana. They pop again as Sean O'Haire charges down and waffles Cade with the European Championship belt, before hitting an O'Hairebomb on him. Kendrick rolls out of the ring, knowing when to quit... (Rating: B+) "Damnit! Stop the fighting!" Vince McMahon is on the stage. "O'Haire, if you want Cade so badly, then at No Way Out, you can defend your European Championship against him!" The crowd pops, and O'Haire nods his approval. (Rating: B+) "And as for the rest of you... Brian Kendrick wanted Paul London and Shawn Michaels in the ring? Well, he's getting his wish... At No Way Out, it's going to be Paul London and Shawn Michaels taking on Brian Kendrick... And TRIPLE H!!!" Vince announces, and everyone looks ok with the decision, especially the crowd, who all mark out. (Rating: A) Overall: A Attendance: 5000 Rating: 265,520 (TLC), 282,744 (CTV), 548,264(Total)

[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/rawlogo.jpg[/IMG] Monday, February, Week 2[/CENTER][/B] The show opens with Ken Anderson standing in the ring, microphone in his hand... "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight there is a match taking place... A Fatal Four-Way match, to determine which RAW Superstar has the privelege of being in the ring with the Fastest Rising Star in Sports Entertainment... Which RAW Superstar has the honour of becoming yet another of my victims... Tonight, four of RAW's biggest stars will beat each other until they can't stand anymore, just for the chance to face MIS-TER!!! AN-DER-SON!!!" He climbs the turnbuckle... *ANDERSON!* "But you see, it doesn't matter which one it is... I don't care if at No Way Out, I defend the Intercontinental Championship (only one of my TWO titles, by the way)... I don't care if I have to defend it against that idiot, the 'Masterpiece' Chris Masters... I don't care if Mr 'I'm lucky to have a match once a month' Rodney Mack... Or how about Mr Charisma himself, Lance Storm? And then there's the tea-drinking, Queen-loving Brit... William Regal. You see, ladies and gentlemen, there's one hell of a difference between 'four of RAW's biggest stars' and the man who is single-handedly changing Monday Nights... The only double-champion in the industry... Ken Anderson! Anderson." (Rating: B) "And at No Way Out, while I'll be facing one of those unlucky bastards for this belt right here, the one with all the blue... There's two even bigger stars who're going to be fighting, that's bigger than my opponent, not yours truly, of course. I'm talking about the 'Olympic Gold Medallist', multiple-time World Champion, two-time King of the Ring, and the man I pinned at Armageddon to become WWE Champion, Kurt Angle... And 'The Phenom'... 'The Deadman'... A multiple-time World Champion in his own right... The man I defeated at the Royal Rumble to become the Intercontinental Champion once more... The Undertaker!" The crowd pops at the mention of the Undertaker. "Those two are also going to be fighting for the right to face me for one of my belts... But that's for this one over on this shoulder..." He pauses to pose for a moment. "And that match is going to be on the biggest stage of them all, WrestleMania... An event so huge, it almost eclipses my greatness... A match against me, at WrestleMania, win, lose or draw, is enough to catapult any star to greatness... And I've proven at the last two Pay Per Views, that when it comes to the big title matches, there's only one sure thing... When the referee has rung the bell... While the crowd cheers... You'll hear one voice over it all, and it will be saying... 'HERE IS YOUR WINNER... KEN AN-DER-SON!!! ANDERSON!" (Rating: A) The sound of clapping can be heard as Kurt Angle steps out from gorilla position, continuing to clap as he walks down the ramp and climbs into the ring. "Wow Ken, you sure told us, didn't you? But let me ask you something Champ... How many times have you been to WrestleMania? How many times have you held that belt?" Angle asks. "It doesn't matter how many times I've held it... What matters is how many times you've lost it! And I've been to WrestleMania... I was in the crowd at WrestleMania 20, and I saw you lose to Eddie Guerrero!" *EDD-IE! EDD-IE! EDD-IE!* "So what you're trying to tell me is that while I was in the main event at Wrestle-freakin'-Mania, you were in the crowd... You were just a fan... Sure, you worked a couple of indy shows, but I was main-eventing in the biggest company in the world, at the biggest event in the history of sports entertainment! You know you only beat me at Armageddon because of the Undertaker's help, but I'm promising you now, it won't happen again at WrestleMania... I [i]will[/i] take my title back! It's true! It's DAMN true!" (Rating: A*) *DONG!* The lights go out... *DONG!* *DONG!* They come back on and The Undertaker is standing in the centre of the ring, the crowd goes wild. Ken Anderson is already halfway up the ramp, but Angle is a little slower on the uptake, barely sliding out of the ring, before escaping into the crowd... The Undertaker points at Ken Anderson, before making the belt gesture around his waist... He then turns to Kurt Angle, points, and does his throat-slit, eyes roll back in his head thing. (Rating: A*) *Break* [B][CENTER][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/BKidmanLH_ndp.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/MikeyBatts.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/UltimoDragon-1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/JushinThunderLyger.jpg[/IMG] Billy the Kid and Mikey Batts vs Ultimo Dragon and Jushin 'Thunder' Lyger[/CENTER][/B] This match was announced on WWE.com at the last minute, as a mystery-partner match between Billy the Kid and Ultimo Dragon, so Joey Styles was excited about both men's partners, explaining to the fans at home that Mikey Batts is Billy's cousin. The four of them put on a great match, and the crowd are already pumped from earlier, so it all goes down well... Ultimo Dragon scores the victory, making Mikey pass out with a Dragon Sleeper. (Rating: B+) In the interview area, Angel Williams is standing by with Rodney Mack. "Later tonight, you'll be facing William Regal, Lance Storm and Chris Masters in a match to determine who will face Ken Anderson at No Way Out for the Intercontinental Championship... What are your thoughts?" Angel asks. "Woah woah woah, hold up." The camera pans to see Antonio Banks walking over. "Uhhh, who are you?" Angel asks. "Who am I? I'm Antonio Banks, but more importantly, I'm Rodney Mack's trainer, tag team partner and manager, and I'm here to let you know that Rodney won't be doing any interviews... You'll just have to wait for the press conference after he wins the title at No Way Out." Banks says. "Right... So you're confident in your client's chances tonight?" Angel asks. "Confident? Of course I'm confident! He's got me in his corner!" Banks says. "Actually, Mr Layfield ordered that no-one be allowed at ringside." "It doesn't matter! Rodney Mack is the toughest wrestler on the roster, and none of those sissy white-boys stand a chance... Come on champ." Banks grabs Mack and they walk off, leaving Angel looking on in disbelief. (Rating: C+) Elsewhere, it seems William Regal and Lance Storm have run into each other. "Lance, I'm glad I found you." Regal says. "You are? What the hell do you want?" Storm asks, looking over his shoulder. "Don't worry Lance, Mark took the night off, he's not going to attack you... Quite frankly, I don't need him to." "Oh yeah? We'll see about that." "Lance, tonight it's going to come down to you and I, we both know those... Americans... don't have what it takes to fight at our level. And I fully intend for it to be me taking that Intercontinental Championship at No Way Out." "Good luck with that Regal, you'll need it." Storm pushes past the Englishman, leaving him with quite the annoyed look on his face. (Rating: B) *Break* [B][CENTER] [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/reps.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/bulldogs.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/Conquistador2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/Conquistador1.jpg[/IMG] The Representatives vs Los Conqustadors vs The Stampede Bulldogs [/CENTER][/B] Why? Because I can. Three of the top teams on RAW put on a decent mid-card matchup, right up until Mr Grenier and Mr Taylor hit Conquistador... Uno I think, with a dropkick/clothesline combination (Taylor going low with the dropkick from behind, Grenier hitting the clothesline from in front), before Grenier scores the pin. (Rating: B) Backstage in John Bradshaw Layfield's office, Randy Orton looks ready for his match tonight. "Well, you're up next... Don't disappoint me." JBL says. "Against Dupree? You're kidding, right? There's no way I can lose." Orton replies. "You said that about the Royal Rumble too." JBL says. "Well, this time Big Show is at home, resting after the beating I gave him last week." Orton smirks. "Good, go out there and prove you can win a match for once." JBL says. "Dupree is barely worth my time... I hope this is a lesson to any other morons on this roster who think they can beat me." Orton says. (Rating: A) Meanwhile, in the Resistance's locker-room, Rene Dupree is warming up, as Rob Conway walks over. "JBL's banned me from ringside, so I'll just have to wish you luck." Conway says. "Thank you Rob." Dupree says, stopping his warm-up. "Go out there and kick his arrogant ass, not just for us, but for Show." Conway adds. "I fully intend to." Dupree smiles. (Rating: B-) *Break* [B][CENTER] [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/ROrton2_ndp.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/thReneDupree4.jpg[/IMG] Randy Orton vs Rene Dupree[/CENTER][/B] Orton might be one of the biggest stars in the world, but Rene manages to take it to him, almost matching the LegendKiller hold for rest-hold, in fact, Orton has to resort to whipping Dupree into Nick Patrick, the referee, taking him out, before hitting a low-blow on the Frenchman, followed by an RKO. Apparently the ref wasn't quite as down and out as we thought, the shaking of the ring brought him round just in time to make the three-count. (Rating: A* (Wow)) Orton waits for Dupree to stand, hoping to hit another RKO, but the crowd pops as Rob Conway runs down the ramp, leaving Orton to get out of there, rather than face both members of the Resistance. (Rating: B) *Break* Corny: Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to interview the 'Olympic Gold Medallist', Kurt Angle... We covered a lot of topics, but here's the highlights... "Ken Anderson? I'll admit, the kid's got something. It takes a certain kind of person to win that WWE Championship, and he's got it. Regardless of how he got there, he's on top of the world right now, but I'm the one who's going to bring him crashing down." "The Undertaker? One of the only guys in this industry that I would almost consider to be my equal. Almost. You see, all the magic, voodoo, or whatever the hell he uses, doesn't have anything on the skill it takes to win a Gold Medal. His size has nothing on my speed and technique. At No Way Out, The Undertaker's going down, and that WrestleMania title shot is mine!" "The Royal Rumble... There's not much to say about it... Because of that clown John Cena, I didn't take the opportunity to eliminate those dumb kids London and Kendrick, and as a result, I lost the damn match when Shawn Michaels and his little buddies teamed up against me. If John Cena hadn't lied to me, I'd have that title shot at WrestleMania already... At No Way Out, I'm going to right that wrong, and get into the RAW main event at WrestleMania." "After WrestleMania? It's a whole new year... I'm going to be champion once more, and I don't care who I have to defend against, because I've beaten everyone there is to beat in this industry. Ken Anderson will get his rematch I suppose, then The Undertaker will want his shot... After that, who knows? Who cares? There's no-one who can take that title away from me again." "Well Kurt, thank you for your time." Cornette finishes. "You're welcome." Kurt replies. Styles: Certainly an insight into the mind of one of the industry's top stars. Corny: And a real gentleman. (Rating: A) *Break* [B][CENTER]#1 Contender's Match [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/LanceStorm.jpg[/IMG][COLOR="White"]vs[/COLOR][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/ChrisMasters2.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/RodneyMack.jpg[/IMG][COLOR="White"]vs[/COLOR][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/WilliamRegal2.jpg[/IMG] Lance Storm vs Rodney Mack vs Chris Masters vs William Regal[/CENTER][/B] Storm and Regal manage to pull a decent match out of Mack and Masters, which is surprising... Storm manages to hit a dropkick on Regal and Mack, sending them out of the ring, before locking in the Straightshooter on Chris Masters, forcing him to submit. (Rating: B) Styles: Well, at No Way Out, RAW's main event is going to be Ken Anderson defending his Intercontinental Championship against Lance Storm! Corny: And if Storm's performance is anything like that, it's going to be great! A graphic appears onscreen for that match. (Rating: B+) *Break* JBL's music hits, and the chairman rides down to the ring in his limo. "Folks, I've got an announcement to make... It not only affects RAW... Heck, it doesn't just affect the WWE... And best of all, it further proves that I am downright better than Vince McMahon..." *BOOOOO!* "QUIET!" *BOOOOOOOOOOOO!* "You see, back in April, under Vince McMahon's leadership, RAW lost it's timeslot... For the first time in over a decade, RAW was off the air... The Monday Night Wars were just too much for Vinnie Mac, and USA Network pulled the show... One month later, the folks over at America One took a chance, and boy did they pick a winning horse! They gave Vince the hour-and-a-half slot at 11PM, and also set in motion the events that would lead to RAW being in the hands of a WRESTLING GOD!!! And under my leadership, RAW has come full circle!" *WHAT?* "Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce, as of 10PM Monday, March 1st, the night after No Way Out, RAW will be coming from you LIVE on USA NETWORK!!! And that's not all... Not only do we get our old network... RAW's going back to it's full, 2 hour time!" The crowd pops. (Rating: A) The crowd pops again as Big Show appears on the TitanTron. "That was it? That was your huge announcement?" Show asks. "You're damn right it was!" JBL replies. "You bumped Tough Enough off TV this week, just to come out here and gloat about how you're better than Vince?" "I'm allowed to do that, you know why? Because I'm the boss. It's my show, my rules. I could stand out here for a full hour and a half and just talk about the weather if I wanted to..." "And I don't doubt that you would, if you honestly thought it could make money." "Now Show, I know I'm popular, but even I couldn't hold these rednecks' attention for more than twenty minutes." "Yet you try, every week." (Rating: A) "That's it!" JBL shouts. "I've had enough of your insubordination... You might not be fit to wrestle tonight, or even next week, but you'll be fine by No Way Out! And you'll be facing... 'The LegendKiller', Randy Orton!" (Rating: A*) Rob Conway and Rene Dupree have stepped out onto the stage, apparently also sick of JBL's crap. "And I'm sick of you two as well! Next week, I'm going to shut you both up for good... Because you'll be facing The Representatives in a handicap match!" JBL says, closing the show with the crowd booing at him... (Rating: C+ (Maybe the crowd was booing the entire segment...)) Overall: 255,041 Attendance: 4,658 Rating: B+ (JBL was used too much... Guess Show was right :D)

Ok, just one thing... I know there's some graphics buffs that read this, so I'll get a quick request in... Y'all know my how I do my tag teams? With the little team pics and all... Well, I need one for Los Conquistadors and Shawn Michaels and Paul London (The New Rockers)... Los Conquistadors doesn't actually have to be them, because there's no decent pics, so long as they're lightweights in matching masks (yes, I'm ok with them both being the same guy in different positions). I'm not sure on the exact dimensions of the pics, but what I do is take the standard, black title background (as used in the titles in this dynasty), and over the top (with some transparency) add an appropriate background, and then put the team on top, with the team's name written on there in an appropriate font. I'm giving y'all creative license on these, just so long as they look good, I just really don't want to do anymore cuts as long as I live... Doing the D-X one last week was enough to remind me why I just request my kyky cuts :D

[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/smackdownlogo.jpg[/IMG] Friday, February, Week 2[/CENTER][/B] Cole: Ladies and gentlemen, we are coming to you LIVE from the Golden State, in LA's Grand Olympic Auditorium, I'm Michael Cole and this is my broadcast colleague, Jonathan Coachman. Coach: Thank you Michael... It's going to be a hell of a show, as always. Cole: We have a huge double main event for you tonight. First up, we'll be seeing Shawn Michaels and Paul London, taking on the #1 Contenders to the Tag Team Championships, MNM. Coach: I've gotta put my money on the contenders, they've got more experience together. A graphic appears onscreen for the match later... (Rating: B+) Cole: But in a match that could possibly be bigger than that, we'll be seeing Bob Inc defending their Tag Team Championships against Degeneration X's own, Triple H and Brian Kendrick. Coach: This could affect two matches at No Way Out, so this is definitely going to be interesting. Cole: It certainly is... A graphic appears for that match too. (Rating: B+) 'I spit in the face of people who don't want to be cool...' Carlito heads down to the ring. "Carlito has been trying to find Booker T all week, but Booker T has been avoiding Carlito like the coward he is. So that's why Carlito's out here tonight, I'm calling Booker out! But I know he's too scared to face me like a man, so instead, Carlito wants someone else to come out here... Someone who can make Booker face me, instead of running like a child." Carlito says. (Rating: B+) 'No chance...' Vince McMahon struts out. "Carlito, you've made me think... And you're right. You deserve a chance to make up for the things Booker T has said about you... So I'm making the match right now... Next week, on SmackDown, it's going to be Carlito, facing Booker T... In a fifteen foot high steel cage! Let's see him escape from that!" Vince says. "Now that... That's cool!" Carlito says, to a good pop. (Rating: A) Backstage, in the interview area, Jeremy Borash is standing by with Bob Inc. "JB here, and I'm interviewing the WWE Tag Team Champions, Bobby Lashley and Bob Sapp... Guys, this could be your biggest match ever... What are your thoughts?" Borash asks. "We said it last week Jeremy, we don't care who we have to face, we'll defend these titles against anyone, anytime, any place. Degeneration X might be the top dogs around here, but you're forgetting, we already beat Cade and Kendrick a couple of weeks ago... We can beat Kendrick again, even if he is with Triple H this time." Sapp says. "And once Kendrick's out of the way, Triple H will fall victim to the most dominant force in professional wrestling... Bob Inc." Lashley finishes. (Rating: C+) *Break* [B][CENTER][COLOR="White"] (w/[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/blank.jpg[/IMG])[/COLOR][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/TrentAcid.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/SOHaireE_ndp.jpg[/IMG](w/[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/Becky2.jpg[/IMG]) Trent Acid vs Sean O'Haire (w/Dr Bayless)[/CENTER][/B] The European Champion and former Tag Team Champion put on a decent opening match. The match is pretty even from start to finish, until O'Haire hits a stiff lariat on Acid, followed by an O'HaireBomb. The pin is academic at this point. (Rating: B) Paul London and Shawn Michaels are in their locker room. "This is Paul London, and I'm here with the HeartBreak Kid, Shawn Michaels... Shawn, at No Way Out, you'll be teaming with the hottest prospect in sports entertainment, the winner of the Royal Rumble, and a damn good-looking guy, Paul London. And you'll be taking on your former best friend, Triple H, and the protege he stole from you, Brian Kendrick. Can I get your thoughts?" London asks. "Hehe, I love the interview bit... Anyway, my thoughts? You're right, Paul London is the hottest prospect in sports entertainment. People are already calling him the second coming of Shawn Michaels... They're already saying that this could be the best tag team I've been in since the Rockers... And you know something? They're wrong... This isn't the best team I've been in since the Rockers... This is the best team I've been in, period. Because, let's face it, there's a hell of a difference between Marty Jannety's career, and my own... But in this team, there isn't a Shawn Michaels/Marty Jannety distinction... There's just two Shawn Michaels'... Two huge stars, teaming up... We're the New Rockers... And not like when Marty Janetty teamed up with Al Snow... Who takes Al Snow seriously anyway?" Michaels says. "Uhh... He's the champ down south." "No way! Which one, there's two of them now, isn't there?" "WCW. He beat Lex Luger a couple of weeks ago." "Wow. Glad I'm here then." "Amen." "Anyway, I'll admit, my time in Degeneration X was good, we had some laughs, I won some titles, but let's face it, it was exactly the same as when I was in the Rockers... There's a serious distinction between ol' HBK and The Game, Triple H. I'm in a league of my own. And Triple H, his ****iness aside, any day now, there's going to be one hell of a distinction between the New HBK and The King of Kings, because Brian Kendrick and Paul London are the next generation of this industry, whether we like it or not. You can either hold them down, like you will Brian, or you can help them get there, like us." (Rating: A) "Wow... Now, on to your match tonight, against MNM." London continues. "That rapper guy? I don't want a handicap match... Can't he team with Cena?" Shawn asks. London smacks himself in the forehead. "No... 1. John Cena hasn't rapped in years... 2. MNM are former Tag Team Champions, Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro." "But, that's just MN... Or NM." "And their valet, Melina." "Oh, I remember her." "I'm sure you do... Any thoughts?" "I'm a married man." "I meant about the match." "Oh... They're the #1 Contenders right?" "Right." "See, I do my research... Look, the Tag Team Championships are nice and all, but honestly, we're a little beyond that now, wouldn't you say? The New Rockers are main event, World Championship material, we're just a bit out of their league." "Well, I'm getting word that Jeremy Borash is standing by, over to you JB." "Hehe, I still love the interviewer thing... Next time it's my turn." (Rating: A) In the interview area... "Thanks Paul, I'm standing by with... Booker T." JB doesn't sound too enthused... "Does your bigotry know no bounds? You don't even want to stand near a black man? Get out of my sight." Booker orders, and JB makes a run for it. "It seems that once again, Vince McMahon and Carlito have teamed up against me. They think that I belong in a cage, in jail, because I'm black? And before any of you punk-ass suckas points out that Carlito will be in there too, I know that. But he does deserve to be locked in a prison cell with me. Then there will be no escape for him, when I whup his punk-ass from wall to wall, and make him bleed all over that ring. We'd better be the last match on the show, because that ring will be a biohazard by the time I get through with it... Can you dig that? SUCKAS!?!"

(Rating: B+) Backstage, in the D-X locker room, Brian Kendrick and Triple H are preparing for their match. "Are you ready?" Trips asks. Kendrick laughs. "Did you just ask if I'm ready." "I said: Are... You... Ready?" "Yeah." "Then, for the two in attendance, for the thousands watching at home... Let's get ready to take those titles." "That was kind of lame... Maybe you should leave the comedy to me and Cade." "Speaking of Cade, are we gonna get a repeat performance of the other week?" "That loss was all Cade, don't worry, I've got your back." "You'd better, I think the Tag Team Championship Belt would really complement this one." Trips points at his World Heavyweight Championship. "Damn straight it would, and my waist's been feeling lonely since I lost to O'Haire." (Rating: A) Cade walks in. "Hey, did y'all see that?" Cade asks. "Nope, they didn't pack our TV into the trucks, we left it in Florida... Did you win one?" Kendrick asks. "Why must you hurt me with your words?" Cade asks. "Because it's fun." "Fair enough. Yeah, I beat Kashmere." "Nice work... Let's hope you can do the same thing at No Way Out against O'Haire." "No big... Speaking of No Way Out... Did you see what your opponents were up to?" "Paul and Shawn? Nope, no TV." "Oh... They stole your bit." "What bit?" "The interview bit." "Are you kidding?" "Nope." "Son of a..." "Uhh, you should be the last person worrying about someone stealing your bit... [i]HBK[/i]..." Trips cuts in. "That's completely different." Kendrick objects. "No, it really isn't." Cade argues. "Shouldn't you go shower or something? You're starting to smell." Kendrick orders Cade. "Yes boss." Cade walks out. "Did he just... Never mind. Let's stay focused, tonight, the Tag Titles... No Way Out... Shawn Michaels and Paul London are going down." Trips says. "And if you're not down with that, we've got just TWO WORDS FOR YA!!!" *SUCK IT!!!* (Rating: A) And now for something completely different... Not really, just JB in the interview area with MNM. "Guys, in just a few minutes, you'll be facing possibly the best team in the company, The New Rockers, Shawn Michaels and Paul London... Can I get a word?" JB asks. "Best team in the company? You've got to be kidding. Those two have never teamed together." Nitro says. "Not to mention, you're talking to the best team in the company right now." Mercury adds. "Simply put Jeremy, for all of their accolades, World Titles, Lightweight Titles, they can't match the experience MNM have together." Melina says. "But both men have been tag team specialists in the past, and Shawn did train London, they've got to have some chemistry." JB argues. "Chemistry or not, they're no match for the team who will be Tag Team Champions at No Way Out... M..." Melina says. "...N..." Nitro adds. "...M!" Mercury finishes. (Rating: B-) *Break* [B][CENTER][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/rockers.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/mnm.jpg[/IMG] The New Rockers vs MNM[/CENTER][/B] London and Michaels look great in this match, Shawn was right, they are in a league of their own. MNM put up a decent fight, with Melina's help, but in the end they're no match for the New Rockers, who finish the match with a RockerPlex, London scoring the pin. (Rating: B) London and Michaels celebrate in the ring, playing the crowd. (Rating: A) *Break* John Cena is waiting in the ring... "I was sitting in the back, twiddling my thumbs... You know how boring it is back there? I had nothing to do... So I decided to come out here and make you guys happy... With a surprise Diva Fashion Show!" The male portion of the crowd pops. "So who's back there?" 'Misery Business' by Paramore hits, and Dr Rebecca Bayless heads down to the ring, wearing pretty much what she was wearing earlier... [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/l_0ffb855f86d85fe3b4273735f78af7a5.jpg[/IMG] After she poses for a minute, MNM's music hits, and Melina heads down to the ring... Also dressed like she was earlier... [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/25.jpg[/IMG] She poses for a sec, but Cena looks disappointed... "Man, we've all seen this... Isn't there anyone else back there?" He asks, after a few seconds he turns to the crowd... "Hang on... What about you?" He points at a pretty girl in the front row, who looks surprised, mouthing the word 'Me?' "Yeah, you... Get up here!" Cena says. The girl is shocked, but she climbs the barrier with help from the security guard, and heads up to the ring. "What's your name girl?" Cena asks, pointing the mic at her. "Alexis Laree." She replies. "And where are you from?" "I'm on vacation, I'm from Virginia." "Hey, I've got an uncle in Virginia... Anyway, would you like to pose for the crowd?" The crowd cheers. "Umm... Sure." Alexis says, as she poses for the crowd. [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/mickiejames.jpg[/IMG] "So folks who do you think should win?" Cena asks. *BEC-KY! BEC-KY! BEC-KY!* "Wow, sounds pretty unanimous... Sorry girls... The winner is the good doctor, Becky Bayless!" Cena announces. Melina looks pretty p*ssed off about it, but Alexis congratulates Becky, and just generally looks happy to be out there. (Rating: B-) Backstage, Carlito seems to have finally found Booker T.

[B][CENTER][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/PrimeReb.jpg[/IMG] Presents [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/rawlogo.jpg[/IMG] Monday, February, Week 3[/CENTER][/B] The Chairman, John Bradshaw Layfield is standing in the ring, with the 'LegendKiller' Randy Orton. "In just under two weeks, at No Way Out, the last Pay Per View before WrestleMania, this man, Randy Orton, is going to add another legend to his list. Big Show might not be a legend of [i]my[/i] caliber, but he is the largest athlete in the world, and that counts for something." JBL says. "Big Show, I hope you're comfortable at home, because after No Way Out, you're gonna be spending a lot more time there. You messed with the wrong guy." Orton says. "This is just a punishment Show. This is what happens when you try to bring down the Boss. This is what happens when you try to stop the man who owns the most powerful brand in sports entertainment, the brand which will be going home to the USA Network because of one man, the wrestling GOD! J B L!" JBL says. "Wait wait wait... Because of you? What about me? I'm the biggest star in the world, the youngest World Champion in WWE history. The people are tuning in to see me!" "You? You don't even wrestle on TV." "The fans tune in on the off chance I have a lapse in judgement, and decide to kick someone's ass, like Rene Dupree last week." "Of course they do. But I can tell you right now, the result had better be the same come No Way Out, or I'm taking that clause out of your contract." "Trust me, I'll beat Big Show. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. And they don't get any bigger." (Rating: A*) "Speaking of this little 'Resistance' in my brand, I'd just like to remind you all, that the other members of that Resistance, Rene Dupree and Rob Conway, are going to be quelled tonight, by my allies, the Representatives. Mr Grenier's got quite the well-oiled machine working for him, Taylor's one hell of a flier, and they don't come much stronger than Hernandez. If I was still wrestling, I know I wouldn't want to take them all on. Maybe two at a time, but not three. Even I'm not that good." JBL says. (Rating: C+) 'MIS-TER!!! AN-DER-SON!!! ANDERSON!' The chairman looks at the stage and sees... Well, who do you think? "Bradshaw, that's two weeks in a row that you've wasted my time with your crap. Last week, you come out here and take credit for RAW's ratings... You think it's because of you? Tell me, when did RAW lose it's slot? April? May? You know who wasn't in the company then? You know who showed up later, who has since risen to the pinnacle of the industry? The ONLY double champion in the WWE... The Fastest Rising Star in Sports Entertainment... MIS-TER!!! AN-DER-SON!!!" *ANDERSON!* "That's right, RAW regaining its spot on USA, has nothing to do with you. [i]I[/i] am the man who is single-handedly changing Monday nights. [i]I[/i] am the reason the fans tune in every week. [i]I[/i] am the greatest wrestler in the world today, and you all know it." Anderson says. (Rating: A*) "I don't care if you hold every championship in this god damned company, no-one interrupts me!" JBL shouts... "In fact, you need to be taught some respect... So tonight, you'll be teaming up with a man you might be facing at WrestleMania..." "No way Bradshaw, not again." Anderson cuts him off. Angle appears on the TitanTron. "Are you freakin' kidding me? I'm not teaming with him again." Angle says. "Your choices are him, or The Undertaker!" JBL says. "Angle." Anderson says, almost as quickly as Angle says "Anderson." "That's what I thought. In tonight's main event, it's going to be Kurt Angle and the champ here, facing their No Way Out opponents... Lance Storm and The Undertaker!" JBL says. We go into the break with Ken Anderson and Kurt Angle looking quite disgruntled. (Rating: A) *Break* [B][CENTER] [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/UltimoDragon-1.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/MasatoTanaka.jpg[/IMG] Ultimo Dragon vs Masato Tanaka[/CENTER][/B] Not a bad match really, the two Japanese superstars put on a good show, but Billy the Kid ruins it, interfering at the eight minute mark, distracting Ultimo as he's springboarding off the ropes, allowing Tanaka to catch him and hit a Powerslam, before making the pinfall. (Rating: B-) Mikey Batts hits the ring, and joins his cousin in beating down Ultimo Dragon. It doesn't last long, as Ultimo is quickly saved by... Teddy Hart? The Kids clear out of the ring, as Teddy helps the #1 Contender to his feet. (Rating: C+) *Break* "This is Angel Williams, and I'm here with Rodney Mack and his manager, Antonio Banks... Mr Banks, your client is facing Chris Masters tonight... Can I get a comment?" Angel asks. "Last week, if Chris Masters hadn't tapped out, my client would have defeated all three other men, and become the #1 Contender to the Intercontinental Championship... But instead, he has to work his way back up... And we're starting this week, by punishing Masters for his weakness." Banks says. "Masters won't know what hit him." Mack adds. (Rating: B-) Elsewhere, Teddy Hart is talking to Ultimo Dragon... "Hey Hart!" Billy the Kid shouts, as he and Mikey Batts walk over. "What?" Teddy asks. "What the hell were you trying to pull?" Billy asks. "I told you, we're not done. I want you to have a fair fight at No Way Out. I want you to lose that title." Teddy explains. "Well, fair fight or not, this title's still mine. In fact..." Billy trails off, before hauling off and slapping Teddy across the face. The two start brawling, as do Ultimo and Mikey, and before long, the entire Lightweight Division is in there, trying to pull them apart, and getting involved in the brawl, Jushin Lyger's there, as is Mark Belton, Shannon Moore and Jimmy Yang. It's pandemonium, as the camera changes to... (Rating: C+) Another argument... Ken Anderson and Kurt Angle are in a locker room. "Damnit, why'd you have to go and piss JBL off?" Angle demands. "What's your problem? You have to face 'Taker anyway, and if you do your job at No Way Out, then I won't have to face him at all." Anderson says. "[i]If[/i] I do my job? Do you have any idea who you're talking to? The Undertaker's not your biggest problem at No Way Out... You should be more worried about me being your #1 Contender." "Are you kidding? I already pinned you at Armageddon Kurt. And I'll have had a warm-up, against another world-class technician." "Lance Storm? Don't make me laugh. Lance Storm isn't fit to hold my jock-strap." "If that's what you want to believe, then there's no problem. Tonight, The Undertaker's going to be partnered with Storm... You just said it then, we're out of his league... So if you're as good as you think you are, and I [i]know[/i] I'm as good as I think I am... This'll be easy." "Hey, you're right." "It's true. It's DAMN true!" Anderson mocks. "TRUE!" Angle retorts. "Was that supposed to be my repeating the last word thing?" "Thing!" "Shut up." (Rating: A) *Break* [B][CENTER] [COLOR="White"](w/[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/blank.jpg[/IMG])[/COLOR][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/ChrisMasters2.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/RodneyMack.jpg[/IMG](w/[IMG]http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/M%20Images/MVP.jpg[/IMG]) Chris Masters vs Rodney Mack (w/Banks)[/CENTER][/B] Argh, no chemistry... Because Masters didn't suck enough as is... Mack hits a Tiger Bomb at 6.37 and scores the pinfall. (Rating: C) Backstage, Lance Storm and William Regal are both looking at the show on a monitor. "There. You bloody see it now? Anyone could've beaten Masters last week. You were just lucky." Regal says. "You haven't stopped whining about it since last week. Shut up. I'm facing Ken Anderson at No Way Out, and that's that." Storm says. "There's a difference... You don't stand a chance against Ken Anderson... At least I'd have been able to win the title." Regal argues. "We'll see about that." Storm says. "Always the man of few words, ey Lance. Guess we'll find out how you match up against him tonight. I'd wish you luck, but I'm trying to make a point... You won't beat him tonight either." Regal laughs, before leaving Storm fuming. (Rating: B+) In the interview area, Angel Williams is standing by with the Resistance. "Guys, later tonight you'll be in [i]another[/i] handicap match, against The Government's Representatives... What are your thoughts?" Angel asks. "John Bradshaw Layfield thinks that by putting us up against difficult odds, he'll make us give up. He thinks that he can break our spirits." Dupree says. "He's wrong. Last week, Rene proved that we're willing to go up against anybody. We're gonna free RAW from JBL's control if it kills us, and tonight's the beginning of the end... We're gonna take out the Representatives, then Show's going to take out Orton at No Way Out, and that just leaves the three of us... And JBL." Conway finishes. (Rating: B) *Break* "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for your favourite part of the show... The part that I host." Chris Nowinski is backstage with the remaining Tough Enough contestants. "Tonight, I'm going to give these guys the chance to tell you why you should keep each of them in the competition." David Babylon steps forward. "Ladies, look at me! I'm exactly what you all want to be looking at week in, week out. If anyone can sell a Pay Per View, it's me. You know you want me to be the #1 Contender to the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania." *BEEP!* Tony Ward steps forward. "You think you can appeal to the ladies...? Really? Delusional much? Look, all of these guys think they're Tough Enough, but I'm the only real choice, because if you vote for me, I'll repay you every week in that ring." *BEEP!* Adam Booker's turn. "I've been working my way up through the indies for years... I've worked all across the country, in bingo halls and high school gyms. It's taken me this long to get my opportunity in the WWE. I deserve your votes." *BEEP!* We finish up with... Matt Striker. "I used to tune in to WWE, and I saw that they were missing a star with class... Someone who's better than the rest... Someone like Chris Nowinski... Someone like me... I'm a former teacher. I'm educated. Chris Now-" *BEEP!* (Rating: D) "Sucking up to me won't help..." Nowinski says. "And it's time for this week's elimination... It's time to go... David Babylon. Guess you were wrong." Nowinski says, and Babylon looks ready to knock him out, before storming off. (Rating: C) *Break* [B][CENTER]Handicap Match [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/resistance.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/reps.jpg[/IMG] The Resistance vs The Representatives[/CENTER][/B] A good match, between five solid stars, in a continuation of a long-running feud. The Resistance put up a good fight, but the numbers game is too much, Grenier hits a Running Powerslam on Dupree for the pin, whilst Taylor and Hernandez keep Conway away. (Rating: B-) *Break* 'MIS-TER!!! AN-DER-SON!!! ANDERSON!' Ken Anderson heads down to the ring, with his microphone in hand... Of course. "Ladies and gentlemen... Standing before you is the current reigning WWE Champion... AND the current reigning Intercontinental Champion... I weigh in tonight at an outstanding two hundred and forty five pounds... I hail from GREEN BAY, WIS-CON-SIN!!! I AM MIS-TER!!! KEN!!! AN-DER-SON!!!" He climbs the turnbuckle... *ANDERSON!* "At No Way Out, Kurt Angle and The Undertaker will be fighting for the right to face me at WrestleMania... Tonight, I have to team up with a guy who wants to fight me... And we have to face two guys who also want to fight me... These two title belts make me the biggest target in the WWE... Everyone is after me... And I'm here to say... I don't care! Kurt Angle, you're an Olympic Gold Medallist... You're a two time King of the Ring... You're a six time World Champion... But that all means nothing... The Undertaker... You're undefeated at WrestleMania... But this is No Way Out... You're a four time World Champion... But I'm the current WWE Champion... I've already beaten you in a one-on-one fight... And Lance Storm... You're the best technician out of Canada since Bret Hart? You were trained by the Harts, Canada's first family of wrestling? Well, speaking of wrestling families... I was trained by a famous wrestling family too... But, unlike you, it was [i]my[/i] family... You might have heard of them... My father's cousin Arn, his cousins Ole and Gene... Need another hint? Listen to my entrance..." [quote=...] AN-DER-SON!!! ANDERSON! [/quote] "But my cousins don't all share the last name... There's one Anderson, who uses another name... He's kind of a big deal... Unfortunately, he owns the copyright to his name, and we're not allowed to say it here... But suffice to say... WOOOOOOO!" "But the point I'm trying to make here is... At No Way Out, Lance Storm doesn't stand a chance... And it doesn't matter who wins that #1 Contender's Match, Kurt Angle... The Undertaker... I've beaten you both, and at WrestleMania, I'll do it again."

Coach: We sure do Cole, starting with our huge main event. Vince McMahon made the match last week, it's Carlito vs Booker T, in a 15-foot high steel cage! Cole: Let's see Booker run away this week. A graphic appears for the match. (Rating: B+) Coach: Last week, there were a series of events that have jeapordised SmackDown's No Way Out matches... [quote=In Recent Weeks] A video plays, beginning with the announcement of Bob Inc vs MNM for the Tag Team Championships, which is then followed by the announcement of Degeneration X vs The Rockers. We then see Brian Kendrick pin Bob Sapp, winning the Tag Team Championships, as Michael Cole is in the background, wondering what happens to MNM's title shot at No Way Out... [/quote] (Rating: B+) Cole: Well, Bob Inc have the chance to make it all better, exercising their rematch clause tonight. Coach: That's right, just one week after their defeat at the hands of the greatest team in the world, Degeneration X, they're going back for more. A graphic appears for this match. (Rating: B+) Cole: And the chairman, Vince McMahon, decided it wouldn't be fair for D-X to have a match, but their No Way Out opponents to have the night off. Coach: Which is fair enough... So tonight, they're facing one of the most decorated tag teams in WWE history! The Hardys! A graphic appears for that match. Cole: And the two teams met earlier tonight... (Rating: B+) [quote=Earlier Tonight] Shawn Michaels and Paul London enter the arena, and the crowd cheers. Matt and Jeff Hardy walk over to them. "Hey Shawn, Paul." Jeff says. "Yeah?" Paul asks. "We just wanted to say, it's going to be an honour to face you guys out there tonight." Matt says. "Yeah, I mean, Shawn, you're a legend in this industry." Jeff adds. "And Paul, you've done nothing but earn our respect, you're one hell of a competitor kid." Matt finishes. "Thanks guys... But you're not without your own accomplishments... You guys are six-time Tag Team Champions." London says. "Ok, we could just stand here and stroke each other's egos... Which I'm a huge fan of by the way... Or, we could head to our locker rooms, and prepare to... Paul?" Michaels trails off. "Give the fans a match like they have never, ever seen before. Why? Because we can." London finishes. The Hardys laugh, and nod their heads in agreement. "We'll see you out there." Matt says, as the Hardys shake hands with their opponents. [/quote] (Rating: B) 'Are you ready?' Triple H and Brian Kendrick head down to the ring, doing their standard entrance, complete with crotch-chops and pyros. "Are you ready?" Trips asks *BOOOOOOOO!!!* "NO! I said: ARE! YOU! READY!?!" *More BOOOOOOOOO!* "Then... For the thousands in attendance... For the half-million watching at home... And for that homo love-fest that we just witnessed... Let's get ready to SUCK IT!!!" "Uhh... Trips..." Kendrick says. "What?" "You followed up the words 'homo love-fest' with 'Let's get ready to suck it'." "Oh... But you know what I meant, right?" "Of course..." Kendrick looks away, hiding his laughter from Trips, but not the camera. "Anyway, seriously, could they have been any more pathetic?" Trips asks. "I'm sure they could have... I mean, look who we're talking about." "This is true... 'Oooh, look at us. We're the good guys. We respect our opponents. We do it for the fans.' What a bunch of jack-offs." "Wow, you managed to sum up four guys in one imitation... I'm not worthy of standing in the ring with the master." "Damn straight... But now, onto more pressing matters... Apparently it wasn't enough for us to beat the crap out of Bobby Lashley and Bob Sapp last week, and take their Tag Team Championships... No, they want a rematch? They want us to hand their asses to them again. They don't seem to understand that nothing has changed since last week... I'm still Triple H... The Game... The King of Kings... And I am STILL that damn GOOD!" "And, in case you haven't noticed, I am the real Main Event... The real Icon... The real ShowStopper! I am the NEW HeartBreak Kid... Brian Kendrick... That's right... I'm HBK BK... Kinda confusing right?" "You're going off topic again... Hey, where's Cade?" "Oh, he said something about a man and a dog." "What?" "I don't know." "Right... Anyway, tonight, Degeneration X is going to once again beat the holy hell out of Bob Inc, and then, at No Way Out, we don't care if it's Bob Inc, MNM or The Rockers, we'll destroy every last one of them, and leave still the Tag Team Champions." "And if you're not down with that, D-X has got just TWO WORDS FOR YA!" *SUCK IT!* (Rating: A) Alexis Laree and Dr Bayless are talking backstage, about Alexis' new contract, Melina attacks them both, for beating her last week. Backstage, we see Dr Bayless talking with the girl John Cena pulled out of the crowd last week, Alexis Laree. "So Mr McMahon just gave you a contract?" Bayless asks. "Yep. Said he saw something in me." Alexis replies. "Wow, you're lucky- Oh my god!" Bayless shouts, as Melina kicks Alexis in the face. "And as for you..." Melina says, jumping on Bayless and laying in the fists. When she's done, Melina stands up, dusts herself off and says "That's for beating me last week Becky." Before walking off. (Rating: C+) *Break* [B][CENTER] [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/rockers.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/hardyz.jpg[/IMG] The Rockers vs The Hardys[/CENTER][/B] Good highflying matchup to get the show started, the Hardys might be one of the WWE's greatest tag teams, but up against two of WWE's biggest stars, they don't stand a chance. They manage to last over 13 minutes though, until London hits the London Calling on Matt Hardy and scores the pinfall. (Rating: B) Jeremy Borash is in the interview area, with Carlito. "Carlito, tonight you're hoping to end this whole war between you and Booker T, in a steel cage... Can I get a word?" Borash asks. "A word? Carlito's got plenty. Booker T, you're a fool. You come on TV and slander Carlito, and just think Carlito's going to take it? Tonight, Carlito's going to show you what happens to people who talk smack to him. And you can't just run away tonight Booker, you're locked in that cage with Carlito... And that... That's cool." Carlito says. "Well Carl- What?" Borash turns to see... (Rating: B) Sean O'Haire is flung through the interview area, Garrison Cade in pursuit with a steel chair in hand, which he then wraps around O'Haire's head, leaving him down on the ground. "Not so tough when I attack you from behind, are you?" Cade asks. (Rating: B) Booker T is in another interview area, all alone. "Tonight, Jeremy Borash has, in his bigotry, declined to interview me... His time will come. But tonight, it's not about him. It's about you, Carlito. For too long you have been allowed to be a racist, without punishment. Tonight, we're in a steel cage, and I am gonna whup your punk ass all over that ring, into the cage walls. You're gonna bleed... You're gonna beg for mercy... But I'm not gonna give it to you. Can you dig that... SUCKA!?!" (Rating: A) In their locker room, Bobby Lashley and Bob Sapp are warming up. Cole: WWE Tag Team Championships are on the line, next! (Rating: B+) *Break* [B][CENTER][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/WorldTagTeam.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/WorldTagTeam.jpg[/IMG] WWE Tag Team Championships [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/dx.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/bobinc.jpg[/IMG] Degeneration X vs Bob Inc[/CENTER][/B] The rematch isn't quite as good as the first time, but D-X still manage to make a great team look bad. However, MNM head down to ringside, Melina distracts the ref whilst MNM hit Kendrick with a Snapshot, leaving Triple H in the match alone. Eventually he gets worn down, before Lashley hits the Dominator, pinning the World Heavyweight Champion to win back the Tag Titles. (Rating: B) MNM aren't done, they attack the exhausted Bob Inc, hitting both men with a Snapshot. (Rating: B) *Break* MNM are back in their locker room. "And that's how we get our Tag Team Championship shot back." Nitro says. "That was a great plan baby, come here..." Melina says, before making out with him. Mercury looks on, seeming somewhat jealous. (Rating: B) Paul London and Shawn Michaels are in their locker room. "Awww... I was kind of looking forward to getting a Tag Team Championship shot against Degeneration X..." Shawn says. "I know, would've been nice to have some gold." London says. "Oh well, I'm sure we'll survive... Can't believe they lost to Bob Inc though... Guess our shot at gold just went out the window." "[i]That[/i] opportunity at least... There will be more. But first, we'll have to beat Degeneration X at No Way Out." "You're right... You've already got a shot at the gold, don't you?" "Yeah... I won some little match... What's it called again?... Oh yeah, the Royal Rumble. And as a result, I'm in SmackDown's main event at WrestleMania, fighting Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship!" "That's right... And me... I've got... Hmmm..." "You don't have a match at WrestleMania yet." "Well, I'm Mr WrestleMania... I'm sure Vince is just trying to think of a match good enough for me." "Right." "Hey, it's possible. But there's two members of D-X without WrestleMania matches, so at least we're beating them." "Of course we are... We beat them in everything." "But why is that?" "Because we can." "Was the set up on that too obvious?" Shawn asks. "Nah, it was perfect." London replies. (Rating: A*) 'No Chance... That's what you've got!' Vince McMahon struts/power-walks down to the ring. "MNM, you've managed to get your title shot back, congratulations... Unfortunately for you, you've managed to p*ss off Triple H... And trust me, that's not something you want to do... But I've thought of a way that D-X can work out their frustrations, and make me some money at the same time... Next week, right here on RAW... Triple H and Brian Kendrick will be facing MNM in a No Disqualification match!" He announces, to a good pop. (Rating: A) "But it wouldn't be fair for Degeneration X to have a match a couple of nights before No Way Out, unless their No Way Out opponents had a match too... So I'm happy to announce the team of Paul London and Shawn Michaels will be facing... The Backseat Boyz! And that will also be a No Disqualification match!" Vince finishes, to a bigger pop. (Rating: A*) *Break* [B][CENTER] Steel Cage Match [IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/CarlyColon.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/BookerT2.jpg[/IMG] Carlito vs Booker T[/CENTER][/B] The crowd should've been hot. This match should've been awesome. However, I seem to be having one of those nights... It was an above-average match, and the crowd were pretty into it, but there was just something missing... Both men battle each other for a good 17 minutes, until Booker manages to put Carlito down with a Book-End, and begins climbing the cage. Carlito comes to as Booker reaches the halfway point, scrambling up the cage after him. Both men reach the top at the same time, and begin trading punches. Eventually, Carlito grabs onto Booker and leaps off the cage, slamming Booker to the mat, and resulting in a draw, as both men hit at the same time.

I'm here with my broadcast partner, Jim Cornette on this historic evening. Corny: Thank you Joey... This might be the last show on America One, but we're going out with a bang... Look at the main event Bradshaw's got lined up for us... A graphic appears, depicting Ken Anderson and William Regal vs Kurt Angle and Lance Storm. Styles: I'm not too sure how well either team is going to work together, but I guess we'll find out tonight... (Rating: A) 'Longhorn' hits, and the chairman, John Bradshaw Layfield rides to the ring in his limousine. "Ladies and gentlemen, if I could just have your attention for a moment... In just six days time, at No Way Out, Randy Orton is going to deal with The Big Show once and for all... He is going to show that giant freak what happens when you cross a Wrestling GOD!" *BOOOOO!* "QUIET!" *More BOOOOOOO!* "You idiots have no idea what I'm capable of... Or Randy Orton for that matter, because you're all just too poor to buy the PPV's, you had to save up all your money just to get your tickets here..." JBL says. (Rating: A*) *YOU SUCK!* "Calm down peasants... You shouldn't talk to your betters like that." *YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!* "Especially when I've aligned myself with the most powerful force in the world, the United States Government, and got myself a personal army in the process. And in case you weren't watching last week... But I know you were... In case you weren't watching, if your power got cut, or you lost your cable because you got laid off from your job at the crap factory... My personal army, Mr Grenier, Mr Taylor and Mr Hernandez, took care of another one of my problems, the Resistance..." (Rating: C+) "In fact... They did such a good job, I'm going to put them in a match tonight... A little warm up match for the Big Show... A two-on-one handicap match, The Big Show vs Mr Grenier and Taylor... But that's not until later... Enjoy."

Both Hart and Dragon come close to pinning the champ a couple of times, and Billy gets a couple of near-falls to his name too, but the match doesn't end until Teddy hits Mikey the Kid with a Hart Attack and scores the pinfall in 7.39. (Rating: B+) In the interview area... "This is Angel Williams and I'm here with the team of Antonio Banks and Rodney Mack... Guys, tonight you'll be facing the Stampede Bulldogs... What are your thoughts?" Angel asks. "M-Rod doesn't have any thoughts... It's not his job. That's what I'm here for. You see, I'm the brains of this outfit, and he's the muscle." Banks says. "M-Rod?" Angel asks, and Mack looks just as confused. "Mack, Rodney... M, Rod. M-Rod. It's not exactly rocket science. Now, as I was saying, tonight, Harry Smith and TJ Wilson don't stand a chance. They're about to face the team who is taking the world by storm, one match at a time. Tonight, it's the in-ring debut of Banks and Mack. Stay tuned." (Rating: B) Ken Anderson looks like he's just arrived in his locker room, removing his jacket and loosening his tie, both title belts laying on the bench beside him. William Regal walks in, still dressed in his suit. "Regal, you ready for tonight?" Anderson asks. "I was born ready Ken." Regal replies. Anderson glares at him. "Ken? Who do you think you are? It's Mr Anderson to you." "Of course... My apologies... But if that's how you're going to play it, then I should remind you that it's Mr Regal." "You a wiseguy now? Tell me, when was the last time you were WWE Champion?" Regal looks at his feet. "Uh huh. I thought so. So when you manage to get this belt, then I'll think about calling you Mr Regal. But until then, I'm in charge around here." "Of course you are." "Good... Tonight we're up against Kurt Angle and Lance Storm... Two of the top technical wrestlers in the world... But that's why I chose you as my partner." "You chose me?" "JBL asked who I wanted... I chose the only guy who can go hold-for-hold with those guys... RAW's other technical master..." "I'm honoured." "Damn right you are. Last week you were running your mouth about how you're better than Storm... And how you think you can beat me... It's time to put your money where your mouth is." Anderson heads into the next room, apparently to get changed... "Of course... Ken." Regal mutters, before walking out.

Wonder how this one's going to end. It's a good, open match, but Mack... Sorry, M-Rod, hits a Tiger Bomb on Wilson and scores the pinfall. (Rating: B) Backstage, in the Tough Enough locker room, Chris Nowinski is with the three remaining contestants... "It's been a long road, but it's time to trim the roster down to the final two... Which means one of you guys has to go..." Nowinski says. He looks at each of them, as if inspecting them... "I'm sorry... It's time to go... Matt Striker." Nowinski says. Striker looks devastated, as he picks up his bags and leaves the room. (Rating: C) "Now, as for you two... I've spoken to JBL, and he's agreed... Next week, on RAW's return to USA Network, in the opening match, regardless of which one of you wins the contest, you're going to be in a match... Adam Booker vs Tony Ward, and I'll be the referee." Nowinski says, both remaining competitors looking pretty happy about being in action. (Rating: C-) *Break* "This is Angel Williams, and I'm standing by with The Big Show... Show, tonight you're facing The-" Angel gets cut off. "Let me stop you there. I don't care about Grenier and Taylor... I only care about two things right now... First, I want to stop Bradshaw. He's running RAW like it's his own private kingdom. He thinks this is a dictatorship... If he doesn't like someone, he just keeps stacking the odds until they finally get defeated... Well no more... And the other thing... I care about beating that c*cky b*stard Randy Orton this weekend at No Way Out. He thinks he's untouchable, because he's working directly for JBL, and I'm going to show him that no-one's untouchable... Especially to a 7-foot tall, 500 pound giant!" (Rating: B+) Elsewhere, Kurt Angle and Lance Storm run into each other backstage. "Kurt... I was looking for you... Did you want to go over a strategy?" Storm asks. "A strategy? I don't need no freakin' strategy. I'm an Olympic Gold Medallist, I don't need you to win this match, I could take on both of them on my own." Angle replies. "Are you sure? Ken Anderson's a double-champion for a reason... And personal feelings aside, William Regal is also one hell of a competitor." "Listen you pansy, just stay out of my way, and I'll take care of both of them. If you're scared, just say so, I'll find another partner." "Scared? You must be kidding. I'm not scared of Regal... I'm not scared of Anderson... And I'm definitely not scared of you." Storm storms off. (OOC: Couldn't help it :D) "Stupid punk... Looks like I'll have to take care of this..." Angle says.

Hernandez takes this as an invitation to get into the ring and start brawling with the giant, but Big Show even manages to fight him off... But it's a good enough distraction for Randy Orton to sneak in with a steel chair, wrapping it around the skull of Show, before hitting an RKO. He slides back out of the ring, as Taylor revives the referee, allowing Grenier to score the pinfall. (Rating: B) *Break* Corny: We're just six days away from No Way Out, and RAW's got a hell of a card lined up for you... Styles: Before the break, we saw just how deep this feud between the LegendKiller Randy Orton and The Big Show goes... But will Show be in any condition to compete after that attack? A graphic appears for the match. (Rating: A*) Styles: And of course, the Lightweight Championship will be on the line, as Billy the Kid defends the title against Ultimo Dragon. Corny: Let's hope that punk Teddy Hart doesn't show his face. The graphic changes to that match. (Rating: C+) Styles: A couple of weeks ago, Lance Storm won a Fatal Four-Way to win the right to face Ken Anderson for the Intercontinental Championship... Can Storm score the upset of the century? Corny: No he can't. Styles: Never say never, this is Monday Night RAW... Corny: I didn't say 'never', I said 'he can't' The graphic changes again. (Rating: A) Before changing again, to The Undertaker vs Kurt Angle for the #1 Contendership at WrestleMania. Corny: And of course, the fight for the #1 Contendership to the WWE Championship at WrestleMania... I'm looking forward to calling this one. Styles: It's going to be a great match, when The Undertaker meets this man... Kurt Angle's music hits...

Neither team looks particularly happy to be together, but they manage... Storm locks Regal in the Straightshooter at 16.32 and forces the Brit to submit. (Rating: A) There's no time to celebrate, as the lights go out. *DONG!* *DONG!* The lights come back, and we find The Undertaker standing in the ring. He clotheslines Storm over the ropes and onto the outside, before hitting a Big Boot on Anderson and sending him over too. Kurt Angle gets a Chokeslam for his efforts, but the Olympic Gold Medallist rolls out before The Deadman can do any more damage. Regal finds his way to his feet, but soon realises his mistake, as he recieves a number of stiff shots to the jaw and body. Taker lifts him up... Tombstone Piledriver. He folds Regal's arms over his chest and does his eye-roll, tongue out thing. (Rating: A*) Undertaker stands tall, as Kurt Angle and Ken Anderson look on in fear. Taker points at Angle, and makes his throat slit gesture, before turning his attention to Anderson, pointing at the champion, or more specifically, his WWE Championship... The Undertaker makes the title-belt gesture around his waist. Corny: I'll give the Undertaker this much: He knows how to make a statement. Styles: But will it be enough this Sunday? Corny: I don't know. Styles: Well, that's it, we'd like to thank America One for having us these past few seasons, and as always, we'd like to thank the fans for welcoming us into their homes. Corny: Tune in next week, 10 o'clock on the USA Network. (Rating: A*) Overall: B+ Attendance: 4895 Rating: 259,378 (America One)

Just a quick update guys... I'm still here, and this will continue (like I'd let it die just over a month away from WrestleMania), it's just I've started working, and 10-25 hours a week at a checkout, talking to morons kind of kills my brain... So it's getting kinda hard, but I've got storylines leading up past Summerslam half-planned, and I'd hate to let them go to waste. So after I finish up with the Year-End awards, I'll bring this back full time... I want the last month on the Road to Wrestlemania to go on, without any long gaps, so it builds up right, and I'm not sure I can do that with my current posting schedule. Don't forget to do your Nominations for the Year End Awards, and don't forget to vote for Rebirth :D
