I'm back at it again...Unknown presents WWE Smackdown 7/1

[Unknown]

I haven’t done this in a while. Last time I have done this was over at IOW about a year ago. I stopped doing it because I didn’t get real criticisms other than people saying that they loved it. This caused me to loose my desire for it because I wouldn’t know where I should improve or what I was doing right. I thought I would give it another try and see what kind of response I get. Then I will see if I will continue if I still have the desire to and the time. Well, lets get right into it. I didn’t feel like booking this week’s SD coming up or booking any last second feuds to stack up the card. I only added one match which wouldn’t need to be built as a feud. I am going to take it from the SD following the Bash and see if I can take on the impossible task of fixing the Smackdown brand. I am different from many people who write in that I only use current superstars causing my bookings to be more realistic and more of something that you would see happening on actual WWE TV. That way, I can compare mines to theirs seeing if I did a better job then the WWE did. Well, lets get to it!

From last weeks SD…

The Dudley’s end up retaining the tag team championships by pinning Rico once again.

JBL says that he will quit wrestling if he can’t defeat Eddie Guerrero for the WWE Championship.

Rey announces a cruiserweight battle royal for the Bash where the last two men left in the ring would fight it out for the title

Angle continues to try and stack the deck against John Cena heading into the PPV by booking him in a three on one match where he gets annihilated by all of his PPV opponents.

The Great American Bash results

Eddie Guerrero retains the WWE championship causing JBL to quit wrestling

The Dudley Boyz defeat the Undertaker. The Undertaker tries to fight back regardless of what Heyman says he’ll do calling his bluff but Paul Heyman ends up burying Bearer with the cement anyways. Taker then tries to viciously assault the Dudley’s to get his aggressions out but they end up defeating him anyways. Post match sees Heyman giving them the order to put Taker to a table which the Dudley’s do proudly by 3Ding Taker through one.

John Cena retains the WWE United States Championship after pinning Booker T to win. Order of elimination: Rene Dupree, RVD, then Booker.

Rey retains the Cruiserweight Championship in the battle royal match. Last two men left in the match were Rey and Chavo. Paul London ends up distracting Chavo causing him to lose the match because of Chavo cheating to eliminate him by low blowing him causing him to be the last person to be thrown over the top rope.

Paul Heyman makes his way down to the ring along with the WWE Tag Team Champions The Dudley’s

Paul Heyman: “The Great American Bash, what an event huh? Thanks to the Undertaker showing just how loyal he is to Paul Bearer, he is no more. The Undertaker dared to cross me and his conscience payed the ultimate price. Undertaker, did you actually think you would defeat the Dudley Boyz? They are the WWE Tag Team Champions and the greatest tag team in the history of this business. You tried to fight back and they crushed you. Don’t you see what following Paul Bearer all of your career has gotten you? Absolutely nothing at all. I am not going to try and get you to join us again. If you want to be great again, you know where to find me Undertaker. Show me that you’re worthy of being guided by Paul Heyman. Make an impact Undertaker and I will consider giving you a second chance. Paul Bearer is no more maybe now you’ll realize that you need me.”

We go backstage to see Charlie Haas, Rico, and Miss Jackie in their locker room.

Rico: “Charles…”

Charlie Haas: “Rico, don’t say a damn thing to me. We lost the tag team titles two weeks ago and our rematch all because of you. You were the one pinned both times.”

Rico: “I didn’t see you trying to help the situation. You seemed to be more concerned with Miss Jackie.”

Charlie Haas: “I don’t have time to deal with this crap right now. I have a match next against Hardcore Holly. Take notes on this one because maybe then you’ll learn how to get the job done.”

Haas leaves the locker room as both Rico and Miss Jackie seem baffled by his change in attitude.

Match 1: Charlie Haas vs. Hardcore Holly

The match starts off with both men tying up in the middle of the ring. Charlie Haas quickly ducks under grabbing him from behind then taking him down. Haas then stands over Holly smiling. Holly gets up and runs at Charlie Haas but Charlie once again telegraphs it with a standing switch into a German Suplex with a bridge but only gets a two count. Holly then gets up and gets in Haas’s face causing Haas to slap him in the face. Holly then slaps Haas back harder then begins to deliver hard rights to the face of Charlie Haas. Holly then goes for an irish whip but Haas reverses it sending him into the ropes but Holly comes back with a hard clothesline laying him out on the mat. Holly then begins to stomp away on Haas. He goes for the pin but Haas kicks out at two. Holly then locks Haas into a sleeper hold but Haas quickly makes it to his feet with Holly on his back and falls into the corner making Holly fall off of his back. Haas then starts to deliver hard chops to Holly in the corner but Holly ends up throwing him into the corner and starts delivering hard knife edge chops of his own. He then waits for Haas to come out of the corner and plants him hard with a powerslam. Holly then goes for the pin but only gets a two count. Holly signals for the end and picks Haas up and goes for the Alabama Slam but Haas realizes how close to the ropes he is and hangs onto them making it so that Holly can’t deliver the slam. Holly then begins to slam and grabs Haas by his legs and does his signature kick to the groin to Haas. Holly then gets on the top rope and waits for Haas to get up but as soon as Haas gets to his feet, he quickly jumps on the top and gives Holly a belly to belly suplex off the top rope. Haas then locks in the Haas of Pain. Holly gets close to grabbing the ropes but Haas ends up pulling him back to the middle of the ring causing Holly to tap out.

Winner: Charlie Haas

After the match, Miss Jackie and Rico come in the ring. Haas hugs Miss Jackie and she and Rico hold his hands up in the air but Haas slaps Rico’s hand away and walks off with Miss Jackie. Rico stands in the middle of the ring with a confused look on his face.

Vince McMahon is seen backstage walking towards the ring as he is stopped by Josh Matthews

Josh Matthews: “Mr McMahon, what exactly are you doing here tonight?”

Vince McMahon: “I have an announcement to make regarding the SD brand. If I were you, I’d pay close attention.”

(Commercial Break)

Vince McMahon makes his way down to the ring with a mic in hand

Vince McMahon: “Ladies and gentleman, I have a major announcement to make regarding the Smackdown brand but before I start I am asking, no demanding that Kurt Angle come out right now.”

Medal hits as Kurt Angle makes his way down to the ring along with Luther.

Vince McMahon: “Kurt I’m going to get straight to the point. You suck as general manager. You can’t even keep control of this show. When I hired you, I expected you to bring SD to a whole new level of greatness. All you have done so far is show me what a bitter man you are. You come out here every week and complain about not being able to wrestle anymore. These people don’t want to hear that Kurt. You abuse your power like there is no tomorrow. You are using your power to punish people instead of using it to make Smackdown a better show. You are fixated on John Cena. You make it your life’s mission to try and stick it to him and look at what it has gotten you? He is still our US Champion. I don’t like Cena anymore than you do. He’s disrespectful and lives his life like a thug. He also had the nerve to verbally embarrass me a few months on this very show. The fact of the matter is that John Cena equals ratings. People like him especially these people. Let’s face it Kurt, we both would like to see a Kurt Angle and John Cena rivalry but you will never be able to stop John Cena in your current state. I have to make a decision in the better interest of the Smackdown brand and that decision is that I am relieving you of your duties as the Smackdown General Manager. In fact, the new Smackdown General Manager is here tonight. This is a man who I have known his whole life. We haven’t always agreed on everything but I know that this man will make an excellent General Manager because he knows how to run a show. You can even go as far as to say that this man has a little, no a lot of me in him. I’d like to introduce you to your new Smackdown General manager, my son Shane McMahon.”

Here comes the money hits as Shane makes his way down to the ring.

Shane McMahon: “Na, na, na, na. Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye. Luther, you have a job as my enforcer waiting for you if you want it.”

Luther looks at Kurt Angle then at Shane and smiles at Shane and shakes his hand.

Shane McMahon: “Now lets get down to business. After last night’s Great American Bash, Eddie Guerrero is now a champion without a number one contender…not for long. Tonight’s main event for Smackdown will see a number one contender’s match take place which will put the Undertaker against Rob Van Dam and Booker T. A triple threat match with the winner becoming the number one contender for Eddie Guerrero’s WWE Championship at Summerslam. I will make SD the number one brand in the WWE no matter what it takes. I will be the best GM in WWE history or I’ll die trying.”

(Commercial Break)

Rey Mysterio makes his way to the ring

Rey Mysterio: “At the Great American Bash, real cruiserweight action returned to the Smackdown brand. That battle royal was off the charts. Matches like those that entertain you people are what makes me proud to be the cruiserweight champion. This is why I am going to issue an open challenge to anyone in the back who wants a shot at the cruiserweight championship.”

Shane is seen on the titantron backstage in his office

Shane McMahon: “Rey, I like the idea but that’s not what is going to go down. To me no one has proven themselves worthy of a shot yet. So what I am going to do is first ask you to take a seat at the announcer’s table because I have booked a match with the winner getting a shot at your cruiserweight championship next week on Smackdown. So right now, it is going to be Chavo Guerrero against Billy Kidman.

Chavo makes his way to the ring followed by Kidman

Match 2: Billy Kidman vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr.

Chavo tries to take the early advantage by going to clothesline Kidman as soon as he hits the ring but Kidman ducks his clothesline and knocks Chavo to the floor with a dropkick. Kidman then irish whips Chavo into the ropes and ducks down waiting for him to come back but Chavo telegraphs it and gives Kidman a hard kick in the face. Chavo then runs at Kidman but he moves out of the way and throws him over the top rope and out to the arena floor. Chavo then gets up and turns around and begins to have a shouting match with Rey. He then turns around to a Billy Kidman who lays him out with a springboard shooting star press. Kidman then picks up Chavo and begins to strike him with right hands but Chavo picks him up and shoves him into the corner turnbuckle. Chavo then throws him into the ring and begins to stomp away at Kidman. Chavo goes for the cover but only gets a two count. He then picks Kidman up and goes for a vertical suplexbut Kidman flips out and delievers a bulldog to Chavo. Kidman goes for the cover but only gets a two count. Kidman then grabs him in a side headlock and goes for his signature bulldog off of the turnbuckle but Chavo pushes Kidman down on the mat. Chavo then rolls up Kidman holding the tights and gets the three count for the victory.

Winner: Chavo Guerrero

We go backstage to see Renee Dupree being interviewed by Funaki

Funaki: “This is Funaki, Smackdown number 1 announcer. I am here with Rene Dupree and I just want to know your thoughts after losing your match at the Great American Bash last night and being the first one to be eliminated. How does it feel to not even come close to winning the US Championship?”

Rene Dupree: “Funaki who the hell do you think you are? Do you think you’re funny standing here laughing over me not becoming the United States Champion? How about I show you what I do to people like you in the ring. I’ll make you sorry that you ever decided to make fun of the French Phenom Rene Dupree.

(Commercial Break)

We come back to see John Cena making his way down to the ring with the US Championship over his shoulder

John Cena: “Yo, yo, yo! At the Bash I went through three of Smackdown’s best and I’m still US Champ. Not even Kurt Angle’s best could turn me off cuz I’m on fire like a lava lamp. It’s too bad you’re not the SD General Manager anymore lumpy now you gotta watch me raise hell from home. I remember you sayin you can’t even have sex with ya wife anymore that’s why ya wife got you sleepin on the couch alone. Ima go down as the greatest US Champion in WWE history because ain’t nobody can see me. Shane we’ll be ok as long as you don’t make me mad. Just don’t mess up or else I’ll embarrass you the same way I embarrassed your dad. You may be the GM of Smackdown but I’m the franchise of Smackdown. Don’t even think of stoppin’ me from runnin this biatch because I’ll make ya ass look like a clown. Anyone who got a problem with me I’ll smack them around like a hockey puck. Because I eat, sleep, and breathe Thuganomics and I just don’t give a ****.”

Josh Matthews is seen backstage in Shane McMahon’s office

Josh Matthews: “Shane McMahon…”

Shane McMahon: “That’s Mr. McMahon”

Josh Matthews: “Well, Mr. McMahon, you’ve been the general manager of Smackdown for hour and already you’ve got made an impact on the Smackdown brand. You booked a #1 Contender’s match which is sure to be a classic and most recently you have John Cena basically saying to you to stay out his way or else.”

Shane McMahon: “John Cena is a tremendous talent but the one problem I have always had with him was that he does at times have a big mouth. Honestly, I applaud him for what he just did. I have a challenge ahead of myself dealing with John Cena but I guarantee that I am in charge and will never allow John Cena to run the Smackdown brand. As for the main event, you’ve got three of the biggest superstars who are all hungry for a WWE title shot. Booker T, the five time WCW Champion and probably one of the greatest champions in WCW history. He has yet to hold the WWE Championship since coming to the WWE though so I am sure that he will go to any lengths to win this match tonight therefore securing a shot to become the champion. RVD, one of the best pure athletes in the WWE today. He too has yet to hold the WWE Championship. RVD is a guy who just like Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero who people see as a great superstar who will never win the big one. RVD is sure to try and prove his naysayer’s wrong just the way Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero have. Then you have the Undertaker. One of the greatest WWE champions of all time. The phenom is one of the most dominant superstars in WWE history and if he surely will be looking to become the top dog in the yard once again. All three men are looking to gain a shot at the WWE title and achieve supremacy on the Smackdown brand. I won’t be surprised if you see all three men bloodied and bruised before a new number one contender is crowned tonight.”

We come back to see Rene Dupree making his way to the ring with new music, no Fifi or French flag. Funaki is already in the ring.

Match 3: Funaki vs. Rene Dupree

Funaki runs at Dupree and begins to deliver shots to the face. Funaki then goes to irish whip Dupree but Dupree sends him into the ropes instead but he comes back with a crossbody. Funaki then dropkicks Dupree as he makes it to his feet. Funaki goes for the cover but Dupree powers out. Dupree picks Funaki up and goes for a back suplex but Funaki flips out and dropkicks Dupree into the corner. Funaki runs at Dupree but he shoves Funaki to the mat. Funaki gets back up and runs at Dupree again but Dupree comes out of the corner and clotheslines Funaki hard. Dupree throws Funaki out of the ring. Dupree continues the assault on Funaki kicking him hard to the stomach numerous times. Dupree then picks Funaki up and slams him face first into the steel post. Dupree then picks up a steel chair and waits for Funaki to get up then levels him with it busting him open. The ref rings the bell calling for a DQ

Winner: Funaki by Disqualification

Dupree continues the assault after the bell rings by hitting Funaki numerous times with a steel chair while he’s on the ground. Dupree picks Funaki up and clears the announce table. Dupree then powerbombs Funaki through the table. Dupree picks up a mic.

Rene Dupree: “This is a prime example of what happens to anyone who dares to disrespect Rene Dupree the French Phenom. Rene Dupree is not someone you want to cross.”

(Commercial Break)

The WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero makes his way to the ring in a lowrider and a mic in hand.

Eddie Guerrero: “This past Sunday at the Great American Bash, I destroyed JBL. He is no longer a WWE superstar as a result of him saying that he would quit if he could not win the WWE Championship from me. Looks like the worst week in his life will be every week because he’ll have to wake up every morning knowing that he is no longer a WWE superstar and that the person he hates the most is the reason for that. Anyways, I am out here right now to scout my opponent for Summerslam. Whoever wins this match better be ready for the fight of their life because I will not give the WWE Championship up without a war. Odea lee, viva mi rasa.”

Match 4: #1 Contender’s Match for the WWE Championship at Summerslam – Booker T vs. Rob Van Dam vs. the Undertaker

The match starts off with Booker and RVD attacking the Undertaker. The two men work the Undertaker into the corner. Taker tries to come out of the corner with a clothesline for both men but they duck under the clothesline and throw Taker out of the ring. Booker and RVD start to argue and then begin to exchange right hands. RVD gets the advantage and throws Booker T into the corner and runs at him but Undetaker grabs Booker by the legs causing RVD to stop in his tracks as the Undertaker trips Booker sending him face first into the mat. Taker then drags Booker out of the ring and begins to strike Booker with elbows to the face. Booker begins to fight back and the two start exchanging shots until RVD springboards himself outside into both Booker and Taker. RVD then picks Taker up and tries to throw him into the steel steps but Taker reverses it and sends RVD into the step but RVD jumps on top of the steps and flips over planting Taker with a moonsault as Booker begins to make it to his feet towards the time keeper’s table. RVD does his thumb salute but turns around to a devastating chair shot from Booker T. Booker then stalks the Undertaker waiting for him to get to his feet and levels him with the chair. Booker then slides the chair in the ring and throws RVD into the ring. Booker plants RVD on the steel chair with a vertical suplex. Booker goes for the cover on RVD but RVD gets his shoulder up at the last second. Booker then picks RVD up and puts him on the top turnbuckle. Booker then picks up the chair and levels RVD with it causing RVD to nearly fall off of the turnbuckle. Booker then climbs to the top and goes for a superplex but Undertaker comes into the ring and hits Booker in the back. Taker then puts Booker on his shoulders and RVD smiles as he begins to become conscious once again. RVD does his thumb salute and jumps off the top rope and kicks Booker off of the Undertaker’s shoulders. RVD then goes to shake the Undertaker’s hand but the Undertaker stares him down. He then goes to clothesline RVD but RVD ducks the clothesline and runs into the ropes but the Undertaker ends up leveling him with a big boot. Taker goes for the cover but Booker breaks up the pin. Booker starts to deliver hard shots to the Undertaker and then grabs Taker and tries to lock in a bare hug but the Undertaker begins to fight out of being locked in which causes Booker to power Taker into the corner. Booker then starts to deliver his signature punch/chop combo to the Undertaker. Booker then irish whips Taker into the opposite corner then runs at him but the Undertaker telegraphs it and throws him into the corner. Taker then begins to viciously deliver body shots to Booker followed by hard elbows. He then irish whips Booker into the opposite corner and clotheslines him. He then runs into the ropes as Booker comes out of the corner and goes for a big boot but Booker ducks the boot causing Taker to get his legs cought between the ropes. Meanwhile, RVD climbs the opposite turnbuckle with the steel chair and jumps at Booker but Booker ducks it causing RVD to level Taker with a Van Terminator sending him out of the ring. Booker then waits for RVD to get up and clotheslines RVD hard to the mat. Booker picks RVD up and holds him up for a vertical suplex for upwards of about 15 seconds then plants him hard to the mat. Booker then goes to the top rope and signals for the end. Book then goes for the Houston Hangover and connects. Booker goes for the cover but RVD kicks out at two. Booker ends up getting frustrated and picks the steel chair up and stalks RVD. Booker swings the chair at RVD but RVD ducks the chairshot and kicks the chair back into Booker’s face.

Winner and the #1 contender for Eddie Guerrero’s championship at Summerslam: The Undertaker

The Undertaker stares Eddie Guerrero down who stands on the announce table with the WWE championship held over his head while Taker gestures that the belt is his. The two men engage in a vicious staredown as Smackdown goes off the air.

[The Great One]

Awesome show, i read all the way through and see nothing wrong. I like how you made Shane the new GM and starting a little feud with Cena like Angle had. And The Undertaker the new #1 contender for the main belt. That should be good to read. Good show. :winkok:

[Peoples King]

Good to see that you are at it again, sounded for a moment that you were doing heroin or something. Anyway my first dislike is in your lay out. You didnt make it reader friendly by having something to seperate segments. Minor bad point but people wont read a show over something like that. Anyway onto the Kings Hits....... and Misses

Hits:

1) Setting up of problems with Rico and Haas. Very well thought out and you squeezed it into the show nicely. I enjoyed seeing Charlie playing the heel in his match with Holly plus the return of the Haas of Pain.

2) Angle out of the GM job. Good call and bringing in Shane O Mac was very interesting and another good call. He or Long should be the GM on the reel show.

3) Paul Heyman coming out at the start of the show was a nice touch. I like how you had him ask Taker to make an impact and Taker did just that.

4) The Number One Contender match was very solid and I think it capped the show off nicely. Undertaker as the number one contender is very interesting and Im gonna enjoy seeing his feud with Eddie I think.

5) Dupree getting rid of his pansy gimmick, French steriotype gimmick. You have mentioned this before and I like that you gave him that mean streak.

6) Cena/Shane thing looks interesting. Enjoyed Cena's segment in this show.

Misses:

1) Where were the tag champions? I think you dropped the ball big time by not including the Dudleys in the show. Just having Heyman mention them wasnt enough. Bad booking on your part and the tag titles are just starting to fade away it seems.

2) Vince telling Kurt that he is abusing his power. Nothing big I just couldnt take this seriously. I think this is hoping people forget about Austin/McMahon. IMO Vince can never be a face ever.

3) Number of matches. I think Smackdown! should have a minimum of five matches and really you only had three proper length matches.

4) Rey's segment was something I just couldnt get into. It would have been better if you just had Shane announce it rather then Mysterio.

5) Eddie has very little time on the show and this is a bad thing IMO. Eddie should have at least two segments as the champion. Maybe if you had him do a backstage interview on JBL and then had him come out and address the Number One Contender match.

Overall I wasnt all that blown away by this show. It was good but I just wasnt feeling it as much as I thought I would. You are definately taking this is the right direction BUT the show was nothing special. Lack of matches was a big downer and the fact that the tag champions got no airtime was a very bad move. I'd give the show a 5 or a 6.

[Mac Daddy]

- I liked the idea for Rene Dupree. Now, we've gotten into stripping Dupree of the French gimmick, and I disagreed. I still disagree and I think the French thing could work, but the way you've began to handle it, I don't feel as strongly as I did before. I'm looking forward to seeing Dupree in some feuds outside of the US title realm, so he can establish himself as a force.


- I'm not to interested in the Undertaker/Guerrero. In fact, I'm not thrilled with it at all. I have a feeling Guerrero will ultimately beat Taker, but this could have been a chance for RVD to shine. Of course, RVD didn't have to win but something like a Ladder Match against Guerrero at The Slam in August, would have made RVD a main-eventer. Unfortunately, now I have to wait to a later date to see this happen.


- I'm interested in the Rico/Charlie Haas situation. I like the fact that the eventual split could lead to a Charlie Haas & Jackie heel turn, because Haas has mad potential. I'd be lying if I said I weren't confident in the way you're going to handle Rico during this story. This means, Unknown, no boring, stale, gay antics. If Charle takes Jackie, Rico needs to get serious.


- I agree with PK about the Dudleyz. Albeit their staleness, they are Tag Team Champions and they're with Paul Heyman for ****'s sake. I may end up being wrong, but after SD I'm beginning to think you haven't a clue what to do with the Dudleyz since they've faced just about everyone a million times.


- I had absolutely no problem with Kurt Angle being GM first of all. Yes, he did have a couple of problems, but it didn't call for writing him out of the GM thing. But I remain intrigued by Shane being GM. The question that pops in my head is will Shane live out the dreams of fans by being a babyface GM, or will he solidfy John Cena's potential to be a next Austin and feud with the Docta. Though I'm not sure, I'm predicting that he'll feud with Cena. But I do have a little problem with that: why does Cena have to be the next Austin and not the first John Cena?


- I'd take this time to assure PK of something: Unknown will build Eddie Guerrero has a credible champion. I'm sure of it. Now, I just went out on a limb for ya Unknown, don't disappoint me, please.



I can't think of nothing else, but if something else comes to mind, you'll know about it.

[Mac Daddy]

I knew there was something else I had to say, and here it is.


WHY did you get rid of John Bradshaw Layfield?! Unknown, I thought you knew potential when you saw it. Granted, JBL's ring work was ****ty in real life and undeserving of a main-event push, but you could have fixed that through your scripting. You could have built JBL up from the ground after his disappointing lost to Guerrero at the Bash, and eventually made him a main-eventer and maybe even WWE champion, the right way. I didn't think you disliked Layfield that much, and you knew that through proper building, he was worth something.

[Chazz]

I will add my hit and miss as well.

Hit:

1. Haas/Rico/Jackie: good to see Haas is developing a mean streak. My only problem here is that the tag division needs all the help it can get, and Rico/Haas are a good tag team. Should be interesting where you take this angle.

2. Shane: Like this idea. Face GM's don't work in most cases, but Shane could be a different story.

3. Cena: you are doing just like me in my season, which is giving Cena back his "bad-boy" face gimmick. Good call here.

4. Heyman's promo was very good. Just don't know if I would have opened the show with him.

5. Renee: like the mean streak you have given him, and should be interesting to see where you take him.

6. Vince: To me, he served his purpose, which was to unseat Kurt as GM and bring in his own son. I thought it fit well with the show.


Miss:

1. Eddie: needs more time and should have kicked things off for your show. He is your main star, and should be showcased as such. Personally, I know how hard it is to write for Eddie, as I am going through the same thing with my show.

2. Dudley Boys: Where were they? They needed to be on the show, at least should have been with Heyman during his promo.

3. Rey vs. Chavo is nothing new, and we have seen it many times. But I like that you are putting effort into the cruiserweights.

4. Taker: I don't understand why he is the number one contender, but I will see how this plays out. I would've opted for Booker or Rob.

Overall, good show that can get better. I'd give it a 5.5/10. Great to see you back writing your shows. :winkok:

I knew there was something else I had to say, and here it is.

I didn't think you disliked Layfield that much, and you knew that through proper building, he was worth something.
I'm sorry to disappoint you on that one. What I had planned for Bradshaw would have overshadowed many others. I just felt that the WWE shouldn't have used him in the way that they did at all. I usually base my bookings on real life happenings and realistically, I couldn't build credibility for Bradshaw without casuing others who had more to lose it. Ya never know, Bradshaw may come back. If you noticed, I said that he would quit wrestling but I never said for how long or for good. He could use it as a way to piss the fans off even more if I do bring him back. I've gotta get real creative to build Bradshaw while giving other guys monster pushes. I might be up for it. :D

Also with the Taker/Eddie thing, don't worry. I don't wanna give too much of my plans away. You read my posts anyways so that will give away what I have planned for both men.

As for the Kurt GM thing, I've got bigger things planned for him. Remember I base my bookings on real life. (Hint, hint)

I think my next booking is better. I'm just writin' and writin now because I have the time to this week and next week. That way when I don't have the time I can just post one every week that I wrote. I assure you that this one is a step above my last one as this is the first time I've done this in nearly a year.

[Peoples King]

Yeah Im going to pick up on the Bradshaw point as well. Mac is correct in what he says about you getting rid of JBL. Whiel JBL shouldnt be where he is now his character can intime be a money making machine. It has the Million Dollar Man like appeal and I hate to say this but JBL is beginning to play it well.

Chazz has done the best job out of anyone with JBL. Straight off the bat he put JBL going after the Undertaker which IMO was a great idea. JBL needed a feud against Taker to solidify his character and Chazz is doing that. JBL has lost nothing the eay Chaz is using and as a matter of fact looks all the more stronger.

I think you should have had JBL come out, bitch and moan and then used Vince to be his drive. McMahon could have played more of a role in this show the more I think about it. Just thought that maybe you could have linked Paul Heyman with JBL. Perfect oppertunity for Heyman to get someone else to make an impact.

Anyway what Im saying is that you should never have gotten rid of Bradshaw in the first place. It was a bad call on your part and if you do bring him back then I dont think I could take it seriously.

As for the tag division. You could have used this show to do something, anything with it. Right now your set up has no real credible tag champions or contenders. A short appearence from the FBI, Akio/Sakado would have been good. I still cant believe the Dudleys werent on the show. I hate to say it Unknown but you hurt the tag division.

Akio and Sakoda/FBI is the exact match I wrote for the next show. :D

As for JBL, I don't know what else to say. I didn't completely write him out. I had a plan to bring him back in a month or two in the first place. This way I could have built cred for other superstars while bringing him back with a new focus so to speak. Maybe it was my fault for trying to use time constraints to make it seem more like something on TV.

Well either way it'll be interesting to see what you do with JBL when you bring him back. Cant wait to see your write up for FBI vs Akio/Sakado. Its a shame these two teams arent utilised more on Raw. Nunzio is gold.

Next show should be interesting.
