WWE: Rebirth

[Dubya]

Good first couple of shows, keep it up and you could be well on your way back to the top. ;) WWE Championship Match Edge over Hogan Intercontinental Championship Match Hardy over Conway Tag Team Championships Match MNM over Hooliganz Last Man Standing Big Show over Triple H King of the Ring Finalists Tag Team Match Cena and Taker over Booker and Angle Quick question; is CM Punk signing with WCW a work or was he really signed? Bummer if he was, CM Punk is the man. :(

[G-Prime]

CM Punk signed with WCW on an open contract. As WCW and myself are at war, he had to leave me. And I was going to job him out on RAW to the Big Show (hence me advertising Big Show vs CM Punk) but Nitro is on the same night, and as he was technically signed to both of us, he went with the bigger promotion ie. WCW. I'm quite pissed off about it really, I had a number of storylines planned for him.

In addition to the matches advertised, I'm out here tonight to tell you we'll also be seeing Mr. Tomko facing the Briscoe Brothers in a handicap match." Vince announces. (Rating: B-) "But that's not all. We'll also be seeing Mr Taylor facing the Backseat Boyz." He adds. (Rating: B-) "And last, but certainly not least, we'll be seeing Mr. Grenier facing... ME!!!"

But eventually, the Briscoes double-team him down, and begin laying in the boots, before Mark hits him with a Cut-Throat Suplex and scoring the pin.

(Rating: B-) Backstage we see Trish Stratus, with Spanky and Paul London standing behind her. "Melina. Tonight, your boys are going to lose those titles. Spanky and Paul London here are both accomplished singles wrestlers, but together they're unstoppable. They're the greatest tag team in the world, and they're going to prove it tonight. And I'm going to be there to make sure you don't interfere." Trish says, before all three of them walk away. (Rating: C+) Melina is standing elsewhere, with Nitro and Mercury. "Accomplished? You say those two are accomplished? They've both had their runs in the WWE, and all they've got to show for it is Paul London's Cruiserweight Title reign and his Tag Title reign. Compared to my boys, they're nothing. And tonight, when the HooliganZ meet MNM, they'll go back to the indies." Melina says.

Vince almost looks to be getting the upper hand, when Mr. Tomko runs down the ramp and jumps into the ring, in order to save his boss, giving Vince the DQ victory. (Rating: B-) The Canadian flag waves on the screen. "Tradition, family, honour. These are the three ideals of Canadian wrestling. Ideals upheld by the greatest of legends." Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Jim Neidhart, Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith are shown. "In two weeks, these values will come to the WWE, when RAW comes to Canada."

(Rating: B-) Trish jumps on Melina and starts beating the **** out of her, until Mercury pries her off, but London smacks him in the face. Nitro attacks London, but Spanky hits him with a dropkick. The six brawl around until a bunch of refs and roadies pry them apart.

However, these guys are so evenly matched, it lasted until the 30-minute time-limit, resulting in a draw. (Rating: B) Backstage we see William Regal and his new protege, Mark Belton. "Tomorrow night, live on RAW, you will see my client, Mark Belton, the Five Star Flash in action. And then you'll see what all the hype is about." Regal says, while Belton tries to look menacing.

The ref however, grabs it out of his hands and begins disposing of it. While his back is turned, Edge grabs the first one out from under Hulk and smacks him in the face with it. And your winner, and the NEW! WWE Champion, Edge! (Rating: A) Overall: B Attendance: 300 Buyrate: 155,333

[B]Sunday, April, Week 3 11PM[/B] Vince looked rather pleased with himself. Backlash had gone off without a hitch. The crowd had loved it, the buyrate was great. Not good enough to keep the Carriers happy, but one problem at a time. His phone rang. Right on cue. "Prime? What did you think?" Vince asked. "Oooh, pre-empting my calls now are we? I'm impressed. Speaking of impressed, great show. Everything from the dark matches to the main event was great, except for you and the Reps, but I've seen what can save that, and it's not Giant Singh like I previously thought. The guy that beat him, what was his name? Kurrgan? Him. I want him used in dark matches for a few weeks, lets see what he can do against some smaller opponents. And the other dark match, Ken Anderson facing a masked man... Who was that?" G-Prime replied. "That was CM Punk, he was still contracted to us for tonight, so we thought we'd job him out like we'd intended." "Oh. Damn, I was going to have you push him to the top of the card... Oh well. Matt Hardy and Rob Conway is great, I hope that one lasts a while. And aren't you glad I told you to re-sign Spanky and London? Triple H vs Big Show was great, and so was the King of the Ring tag match, the crowd loved both matches. And of course Hogan vs Edge... That wasn't the best of matches, but the crowd loves the Hulkster, and hates Edge, so it was worthwhile. All in all, at least as good as Wrestlemania, and just a little below Spring Stampede last weekend. But honestly, I don't think WCW are going to last. Not with Vince Russo as their TV Champ... And Randy Savage as World Champ? What is wrong with those guys?" "Hehe, yeah, and Ric Flair and Steve Austin as their Tag Team Champions, there's no order to it all. I hope you're right, because if they go down, that leaves a spot at the top for me. A spot I'd like back." "A spot I'd like you to have Vince, but a spot we're going to have to work for. And before we worry about getting the audience back, we ought to worry about cashflow. How are we doing?" "Well, not including your donation, and paychecks for the regular guys don't go out 'til the end of the month, we're up about 1.2 Million after Backlash." G let out a low whistle. "Not bad. But those pay checks are going to put a dent in the profits for sure." "Well I'd make a lot more money if any decent arena would let me put on a show, but they all know I'm 20 million in the red, and they don't care that I'd be able to pay them with the money I made off tickets." "Well, I'd love to help you, but I can't. Maybe after a couple of years with me we'll be able to get a decent arena. Assuming we have a PPV or TV deal then..." "That's the other thing... The PPV carriers weren't impressed with the buyrate. Perhaps your weekly PPV idea isn't that good." "Maybe. Looks like it's weekly house shows then, unless RAW can draw a decent rating this week..." "Well, Backlash was good..." "But was it [I]that[/I] good?" "I don't know..."

[IMG]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Jeeprhyme/edgerawtitle.jpg[/IMG] Last night at Backlash, Edge scored a huge upset against Hulk Hogan in their WWE Championship match. Will Hulk exercise his rematch clause tonight? Also, we see John Cena take on Booker T in their King of the Ring Semi Final Match, but will either be at their best after the blockbuster match last night? Also, we'll see two men, eliminated in the first round of the King of the Ring tournament go one-on-one tonight, Randy Orton faces Carlito. MNM left Backlash still holding the titles, which means we need a new #1 Contender, so it's time for WWE's up and coming teams to clash, when The Briscoes take on the Backseat Boyz. And of course, William Regal promised that Mark Belton, the Five Star Flash, will be in action tonight.

Lol, thanks for the predictions, but there's only a prize for PPV predictions, but feedback is welcome. I'm a little behind on Raw, it's all booked, but I've got an exam tomorrow, so I might write it up and post it after that. Or, knowing me, I'll just do it later tonight, when I should either be studying or sleeping, lol.

I didn’t mind when you insulted me. You’re not the first to do that. You took that title away from me. I was going to let you get away with that. But now? You threatened my daughter. Now Edge, it’s personal. And what was that about you choosing the time, the place and the type of match it will be when we next meet? What was that you said? You get to choose it? Well that’s where you’re wrong. You see, I’m exercising my rematch clause… TONIGHT!” The crowd goes absolutely nuts, but Edge doesn’t look as enthused. “So tell me something brother.

However, the speed and tenacity of the Backseat Boyz evens the odds. It seems you can’t split them, but then out of nowhere, the Backseat Boyz hit a T Gimmick and Johnny Kashmere gets the pin.

Unfortunately, the crowd just didn’t give a crap. Most of them had never heard of Jimmy Yang, a few notice that he was Akio of Kyo Dai, and there’s the old WCW fans who remember the Jung Dragons, and a few old-school TNA fans who even remember the Flying Elvis’, but not enough for this to be a real success. Still, a rather impressive match.

This is my company you know, I can do whatever I want.” Vince says, looking rather pissed off. “Yeah, well we’re not done with MNM yet. We’re going to go after those two, no matter what you do. They cheated last night, and you know it. We deserve another shot at those titles. And if you give it to us, imagine the ratings. Imagine the money you could make.” London replies. Vince starts to smile. “Tell you what. If you two can… Do my dirty work as… Spanky put it, and beat Mr Tomko and Mr Taylor of the Representatives tonight, then I’ll think about granting you your title shot back.” The HooliganZ look rather happy with that decision, and Vince leads them out of his office.

It’s far from over, and I stand to make a lot of money off your rivalry. Starting tonight.
