Real World July 2007 || Wrestling in Dissaray ||

The backstory was great, must have taken ages. To be honest, though, I'd be surprised if RVD wasn't at TNA in July. Maybe Benoit too. The shows are okay, but is there any chance of putting up the letter grades with each segment? You've got a reader in me, simply because anyone who puts in this much effort deserves attention in my book.

[QUOTE=keefmoon;177669]The backstory was great, must have taken ages. To be honest, though, I'd be surprised if RVD wasn't at TNA in July. Maybe Benoit too. [/QUOTE] The reason behind Benoit not going to TNA was due to Ted Turner, i missed a fair bit out in my backstory because i wanted to start upthe game so quickly, but basically, Benoit didn't want to work for Turner, as he was offered less money to jump ship. RVD was due to Sabu, the two weren't getting along, and RVD was being groomed for an ECW title run after Heyman was gone as Lagana wanted the belt on him. [QUOTE=keefmoon;177669]The shows are okay, but is there any chance of putting up the letter grades with each segment? [/QUOTE] Can do yeah, although they are pretty dyer, hence why i haven't been putting them in lol [QUOTE=keefmoon;177669]You've got a reader in me, simply because anyone who puts in this much effort deserves attention in my book.[/QUOTE] Thanks, i'll definately make sure i add in the grades for you :) Cheers for your comments

By no means a good match, Torrie hit the Nose Job on Victoria for the win.

[B]C+[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/MichaelShane.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/SuperCrazy3.jpg[/IMG] Matt Bentley made his WWE debut today, which is quite a surprise to alot of people, as they didn't even know he'd signed! Super Crazy came out to a decent ovation from the crowd as he makes his return here tonight. Solid match up, some good high flying moves, Bentley got the win with a Picture Perfect Elbow Drop. [B]B[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/DavideSimeone.jpg[/IMG] Davide Simeone, an Italian wrestling legend that was in WWE Development for a while, comes out to address the crowd, he lets everybody know that at Bash at the Beach, we'll see Umaga take on Val Venis.

Conway got the win with a Belly to Belly Suplex. [B]C+[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/MarkMagnus.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/cmpunk_ndp.jpg[/IMG] Mark Copani took on DX's CM Punk in a very entertaining match. Alot of twists and turns throughout, and could really have gone either way. Copani got the win with a Finishing Touch. [B]B[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/DiegoDigou-1.jpg[/IMG] Diego Digou comes out and informs the crowd that he is accepting Ken Shamrock, Tank Abbott and Tito Ortiz's challenge to take on Hulk Hogan, The Rock and Steve Austin!

The match was a fantastic technical battle, and we could see a fued come out of this! [B]B-[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/ChrisJericho.jpg[/IMG] We see Jericho backstage on the phone, we have no idea on who it is.

Anyways, with Edge at ringside, Dinsmore was very, very cautious of what he was doing, Rosey nearly got the victory when Edge and Dinsmore exchanged words, Dinsmore managed to lock in an STF for the win.

Crazy takes an early lead in this, and doesn't really let up once, Crazy wins with a Crazy Bomb [B]B-[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/umaga_ndp.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/ValVenis2.jpg[/IMG] A video plays hyping Umaga vs. Val Venis. [B]D[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/thJohnnyNitro3.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/JohnnyJeter.jpg[/IMG] Johnny Nitro, who doesn't really seem to be getting used correctly up on Raw, took on Johnny Jeter, an up and comer that really should be getting a decent push on the "A" show. Anyways, Nitro dominates the match barring a few moves, Nitro wins with a Standing Shooting Star. [B]C-[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/ToddGrisham.jpg[/IMG] Todd Grisham hypes the upcoming match between Shawn Michaels and John Cena from the comfort of his announcers table. Did i just hear that right? HBK and Cena... on Heat!? [B]C-[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/NickDinsmore.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/ChrisJericho.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/RicFlair.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/wregal_ndp.jpg[/IMG] Up next was an Intercontinental title match,Champion Nick Dinsmore had 3 challengers, Ric Flair, William Regal and Chris Jericho. A decent technical matchup, only use however is to get the Regal/Flair fued some exposure, and to let people know that the IC title is still active! Dinsmore wins by hitting a German Suplex on Ric Flair [B]C-[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/wregal_ndp.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/RicFlair.jpg[/IMG] William Regal sees his opening, and beats down Flair, applying the Regal Streth until Flair passes out [B]D+[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/smichaels2_ndp.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/JohnCena.jpg[/IMG] Main Event time, and what a Heat main Event this is going to be! Michaels makes his way to the ring, Cena follows close behind and attacks, and the match is on! Good back and forth match, definatley PPV quality, and it's on the Second show! Cena went for the F-U, but HBK slipped out, and managed to hit a Sweet Chin Music to the back of Cena's head for the win [B]C+[/B][/CENTER]

[IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/MvH.gif[/IMG] Chris Masters and Rob Conway defeated The Highlanders in a far from impressive match. Rob Conway defeated Rory McAllistair with a Piledriver (Could have sworn that move was banned by the E?). [B]- D+[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/SOvJJ.gif[/IMG] Sean O'Haire defeated Johnny Jeter with a Reverse DVD. Exactly the same as their match on Heat a couple weeks ago. [B]- C+[/B] [B]Onto the PPV![/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/CTvCM.gif[/IMG] We kicked it off with the Tag titles match, Cade & Murdoch came out first, with Cryme Tyme's tag titles, we see a video showing how they stole them from Cryme Tyme's locker! Out came the champions to a pretty shabby crowd response. Lance Cade picked up the victory for his team when he beat Shad Gaspard with a Top Rope Legdrop. Cade & Murdoch win the WWE World Tag Team titles, and surprisingly, get a boo from the crowd!. [B]E+[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/DavideSimeone.jpg[/IMG] Davide Simeone, making his PPV debut in the WWE, brags about how he is the dominant Italian in the company, and that we'll see that tonight, not sure where they're going with this, but i hope it's not a "Legends" fued! Simeone mentions that tonight, Flair and Regal will face each other in a 30 Minute Ultimate Submission match! [B]C-[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/MvV.gif[/IMG] Champion Mickie james made her way to the ring first, and Victoria followed. Victoria managed to get Mickie out of the ring before the match started, and proceeded to beat down the Womens champion, and even hit her across the head with a brutal chairshot! The match gets officially underway, and the crowd seem into this match! Victoria drops Mickie on her head (by accident) but Mickie's obviously hurt, and this ruins the final minutes of the match, Victoria helps Mickie hit the Mickie-T for the win. [B]D-[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/umaga_ndp.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/ValVenis2.jpg[/IMG] A video plays hyping the Umaga vs. Val Venis rivalry [B]D[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/VvsU.gif[/IMG] Umaga defeated Val Venis by count out thanks to an Interferance from Rosey. Rosey, unintentionally knocked Venis out of the ring after charging at Umaga, Rosey was quickly seen to with a Samoan Spike, as the referee counted out Val. [B]C[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/TvC.gif[/IMG] A Beach Bikini contest between Torrie and Candice, nothing fancy, and the crowd used this match as an opportunity for a toilet break. Torrie won. [B]E+[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/Jazz.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/BethPhoenix.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/thJillianHall.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/Melina.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/Traciffx.jpg[/IMG] Jazz is in the ring with Beth Phoenix, Jillian Hall, Melina and Tracy Brooks. She leads them through a standard bikini contest - taking turns to wow the audience - before letting the crowd decide who wins. Before we get the "Official" answer, Jazz beats down the 4 contestants, screaming maniacly at them that she is the most dominant diva! [B]E+[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/RFvWR.gif[/IMG] Quite possibly one of the best matches between these two competitors, and was by far the match of the night! Regal managed to get the first fall, after about 12 miutes, but Flair kept pushing and pushing at Regal, and finally got the equalising Submission at the 23 minute mark, it was a thorough back and forth final 7 minutes, with Regal locking in Several Regal Stretches, and Flair getting the Figure 4 several times aswell, however, Flairs final attempt at 29 minutes got Regal to tap, Flair managed to win! [B]B-[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/DDvJN.gif[/IMG] Diego Digou made his PPV wrestling debut against Johnny Nitro, not a very impressive match, as these two have no chemistry, and don't work well together, however, Digou did manage to carry the match, and it should be said that Nitro was very off his game tonight. Anyways, Digou won with a Digou Driver. [B]D+[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/DiegoDigou-1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/DavideSimeone.jpg[/IMG] Whilst Diego Digou was celebrating his victory in the ring. Davide Simeone ran in and attacked him, beating him down, and leaving him a bloody mess! [B]C[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/WWEvMMA.gif[/IMG] Time for the Legends of WWE vs the MMA Artists as they are now going by. Heavy boos for the MMA guys, despite all of them, at some point, getting face pops during their early TV appearances. Very one sided match in favour of the MMA guys, The Rock was the star of the Legens team, Austin barely made an appearance, but understandabley as he doesnt want to be full time, but Hogan was just poor. Legends get the win after Tank was DQ'd for using too many "Open Handed Punches" yes, such a weak ending. [B]D+[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/kshamrock_ndp.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/tabbott_ndp.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/tortiz_ndp.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/hhogan_ndp.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/SteveAustin.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/TRock_ndp.jpg[/IMG] The bell has sounded, yet Ken Shamrock, Tank Abbott, Tito Ortiz, Hulk Hogan, The Rock and Steve Austin continue to do battle with each other all the way to the backstage area. [B]C[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/NGvDX.gif[/IMG] Next Generation got an upset victory over D Generation X (minus Ric Flair at ringside) in this brutal 4 v 4 matchup. John Cena managed to get the victory for his team after an F-U on Edge. [B]C[/B] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/Brock_Lesnar.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/cmpunk_ndp.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/EdgeDX.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/smichaels2_ndp.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/hurricanendp/Raw/tripleH_ndp.jpg[/IMG] Next Generation leave the ring after beating down DX, paramedics come down to help them as they are obviously incapable of getting to the back ok. All of a sudden, one of the paramedics picks up Shawn Michaels, and hits a devastating F-5 on him, surely it can't be? Can it? The paramedic removes his gear, and sure enough, it's BROCK LESNAR! Brock hits an F-5 of Punk, and damn near takes Edge's head off with a Clothesline, HHH is the only man left, and h's hit with a brutal Double Powerbomb! Lesnars back in WWE, and it seems he's alligned himself with Next Generation!. [B]C C[/B][/CENTER]
