I'm personally a Jeff Hardy mark, his 2002-2003 record not withstanding. His ladder match with UT for the Undisputed title was a fucking awesome match, something you'd be hard pressed to get out of either man at that point in time. I'm hoping that this angle does lead to Jeff coming back, if only to reunite the Hardy Boyz as a tag team. RAW needs new teams and it'll give Matt something to do besides job on HeAT. Hey... a reunion worked for the Dudleyz. Why not the Hardyz?

That would have ruined the importance of the Guerrero/Benoit love fest post match. The focus was on the two men, mostly Benoit, just as it should have been. The greatest WrestleMania of all time, leaving the air with two of the greatest and in my opinion, most deserving, World Champions of all time.

But is it technically a bait and switch if I make the change BEFORE the show? Just wondering.

One quick note, it won't affect this week's RAW... I'm making a trade between RAW and SmackDown! RAW talent Rico will be traded for SmackDown! talent and nWo member X-Pac. He belongs on RAW with the other members of the nWo. As for Rico... well, he'll be entered into the ranks for the Cruiserweight title. The actual roster itself, posted above, has been updated with the change. EDIT: One change made to the RAW preview... after remembering that Ric Flair is the owner of RAW, I removed him (and subsequently HBK) from the Street Fight and replaced them with Big Valbowski and Mark Henry. LOL... THAT should be a good match.

Which is exactly why I'm not making real wrestlers into CAWs. That and the whole no slots open thing. RAW preview for 4/26 still coming up momentarily.

Alright. First off, I'm going to openly admit that I am totally stealing Man Of 1,004 Modes' idea. Now that I have that guilt trip out of the way... Ahem. Almost a year and a half ago, in December of 2002, myself and a friend began an e-fed based on SD:SYM. It was played out just like Man Of 1,004 Modes' diary fed, where the matches were determined via computer matches. Finally, in July of 2003, the fed closed due to lack of interest. After all that, in November 2003, when SD:HCTP debuted, I got all the old crew back together and we started a new fed from scratch. There was something wrong with this, though... HCTP wasn't as much fun as the SYM fed was. After thinking for a while, I finally realized why. SYM was based on attribute points for four catagories; strength, speed, technical and roughneck. This led to varied superstars and a versatile gaming environment where, just like the WWE itself, anything could happen. Seriously. Goldust pinned Triple H clean once. It was mindblowing. Now, when it comes to HCTP, the game is based on stat points ranging from 10-100. Build up your character, get them more points, and they'll be able to win more matches. However, when simming cpu matches, the results will always be the same. If you sim Goldberg vs. The Hurricane 100 times in exhibition mode, Goldberg will leave 100-0, and we all know the last thing the world needs is another Goldberg winning streak. So, when I saw Man Of 1,004 Modes' diary, I decided that I wanted to do my own. But not with HCTP... it wouldn't be any fun. Besides, Man Of 1,004 Modes was already doing it. So, I decided I would start a new one, but I would base it on my favorite game in the SD! series, Shut Your Mouth. And there's all the history that's fit for knowing. NOW... into the actual diary. Like Man Of 1,004 Modes, I split the roster randomly into two parts. I'm not going to create any CAWs, mostly because all my CAW slots are filled up after making all my friends. So, without further adieu... I present to you the official RAW and SmackDown! rosters! RAW Roster - Owner: Ric Flair - Al Snow - Big Show - Bradshaw - Bubba Ray Dudley - D-Von Dudley - Faarooq - Hollywood Hulk Hogan - Ivory - Jazz - Jeff Hardy - Kevin Nash - Lita - Mark Henry - Matt Hardy - Molly Holly - Randy Orton - Rikishi - Scotty 2 Hotty - Shawn Michaels - Stacy Keibler - Stephanie McMahon - Stone Cold - Test - The Big Valbowski - The Rock - Torrie Wilson - Triple H - Trish Stratus - X-Pac SmackDown! Roster - Owner: Vince McMahon - Albert - Billy - Billy Kidman - Booker T - Brock Lesnar - Chris Benoit - Chris Jericho - Christian - Chuck - DDP - Eddie Guerrero - Edge - Goldust - Hardcore Holly - Kane - Kurt Angle - Lance Storm - Maven - Raven - Rhyno - Rico - Rob Van Dam - Shawn Stasiak - Spike Dudley - Tajiri - Tazz - The Hurricane - Undertaker - William Regal And there you go. I'll start running shows this Monday night with the first RAW. The first PPV, WWE Judgment Day, will air on May 16, 2004. The preview for the first RAW will be up momentarily. Also, allow me to quickly present you with the Championship lists for each show. Cross-Brand Championships - WWE Undisputed Championship - WWE Tag Team Championships RAW-Exclusive Championships - WWE Intercontinental Championship - WWE Hardcore Championship - WWE Women's Championship SmackDown!-Exclusive Championships - WWE United States Championship (I know, not in the game, but it balances out the title count for each show, plus it's my favorite belt, so it's in now.) - WWE European Championship - WWE Cruiserweight Championship Also, one note, since there is no Velocity in SYM (only HeAT), Sunday Night HeAT, starting next Sunday, will feature talent from both RAW and SmackDown!, but only fighting each other rather than being in meaningless interpromotional matches. We'll save those for PPVs. That's about it... let The WWE Experience begin!

Awesome, thanks very much. I would have never figured that out on my own.

Alright, so I'm playing through the World title scenario. I've come to a match where it's myself and The Rock fighting the champion and X-Pac. It says that to win, I have to put the opponent through the announcer's table. My question is... HOW? I tried for over a half an hour, nothing I did got him up onto the table and none of my moves put him through standing next to it. I don't have the manual, I bought the game at Blockbuster used. Anyhow... anyone got help for me? I'm going nuts trying to figure this out!

Fuck yeah! Halloween Havoc (or whatever it ends up being called) comes to Milwaukee! It's about damn time Milwaukee gets another PPV (last was NWO 02, a month or so before I became a WWE fan)... I've been to a live RAW, a live SD! and a RAW House Show... I just need to see a PPV now to say I've been to 'em all (and a SD! House show too, I guess, but whatever, lol)... I'm getting front row seats too, dammit! *Happy*

It is, lol, but all I have to make images with is MS paint, so I get by. The fedders don't seem to mind the horrible logos. Alright, cool. See, I assumed that everything else was deleted. I forgot that threads get covered up after 30 days if they're not pinned. My bad. Ha ha ha ha... glad to see I'm still remembered. Maybe I should consider a comeback to SWF (well, not a comeback, I never made it to SWF... ah well, you get it). ........................................................ Nah. I wouldn't last a week.

Um, alright, so I KNOW I'm probably going to catch some flak for posting here, as I know I'm not well-liked among the SWF'ers and former SJL'ers. Ahem. Anyhow, I was wondering... are the old SJL shows available for viewing anywhere? I went to the board and saw the old PPVs posted, but I'm looking for some of the old Wraths, Metals, etc. that were from when I was an active member of the JL. Specifically, I'd like to find the DB vs. Crow Glass Ceiling match and my final SJL tag team match I participated in. If they're available somewhere for viewing, please let me know. I'm trying to archive DB's match history in every federation I've been in (and damn, it's not easy... I've been in a lot, lol) but anyhow, so yeah. Any help here would be much appreciated. - DB

There's a lot of stuff that's done in the South that shouldn't necessarily be done. Like mating. LOL! Sorry, I have family in the South, and they're all hicks (I'm from Wisconsin myself)... I just couldn't resist this one. Can you really blame me?

I like it. I was never a fan of the old IC belt, to be honest. It just looked so average, run of the mill, IMO.

Just for the record, I'm pretty sure Nash got a kick in on Booker T before he blew his quad in that match. Yeah, the kick WAS what blew his quad. He kicked Book in the side and tripped, blowing his quad in the process.

I do this all the time with HCTP. Being the uber-geek that I am, I filled up all 32 CAW slots with my friends (and one with me), all with 100 OVR. Then, I book two RAWs and two SmackDowns, then follow up with the monthly PPV, complete with Sunday Night HeAT match! This is crucial, as I videotape the entire PPV and Heat match. RAW and SmackDown are each four matches long, and each PPV is eight matches long (one Heat match, seven PPV matches). I decided early on to use only CAWs, since using real wrestlers would be pointless (each one of my 100 ovr CAWS can kill Goldberg in about 4 minutes), so CAWs only. When they win a title match, I put them into season mode and win them that title so it is represented when they come out. This may sound stupid, but in actuality, it's a hell of a lot of fun to watch each match unfold, and all my friends are always genuinely interested in how their wrestler does at any given event. I actually had one friend mad at me for a week because he didn't get booked on the PPV! It's exciting whenever MY CAW comes out, because of course you always want yourself to win. I was the first WWE Champion (my guy actually did earn it, I didn't just give it to him, lol) and I remember feeling really sad when he lost it in a triple-threat match where the other guy got pinned. It's kinda sad, really, when a video game can create more emotion in a person than the actual WWE.

I'm with you. Forget any reports on the 'net. Until I see Brock Lesnar back on my TV, I refuse to believe this is a work. And just to be clear: I hope I don't see Lesnar on my TV again anytime soon, unless he gets a better gimmick, like his original. The whiny ass titty baby scaredy cat gimmick wasn't working for me.

Am I the only person on planet earth that LIKED RAW 2? I'll admit it, RAW 1 sucks ass, but I thought #2 was really good, once you spend ten minutes to learn the controls. My two friends and I spent over eight hours on a sleepover playing season mode continously. It was good fun.

Hell yeah! That's what I'm saying. What about Milwaukee? We've gotten ONE PPV since 2002 (NWO '02) and Cali has gotten like 6. WHASSUPWITDAT?!

If you do that, you'd also have to have the WWE willing to promote Goldberg as bad ass monster like Lesnar. Please excuse me while I have no faith in that whatsoever, since Lesnar didn't get that when he needed the build into this match against Goldberg. WWE needs to start having the famous WCW 60 second Goldberg squash matches. Against Cruiserweights. Hey... at least they'd get on TV.

Screw them. Old school Undertaker > anybody on SD not named Angle or Guerrero (not including Chavo)

Why not have Edge go to RAW and have Goldberg go to SmackDown! and announce it as an official trade? It would make sense from the Goldberg standpoint anyhow... actually... Bischoff hates Goldberg storyline wise, so he can announce the night after WM that he traded Goldberg to SD for an unnamed "free agent", due to the fact that he hates Goldberg and Heyman would want Goldberg on SD!. Heyman thinks he traded away some no-name talent until the "free agent" is revealed as none other than Edge!

LOL... Mideon can dig UT out during the middle of a basketball game! He'll be striking the hardwood with a shovel and eventually get nailed in the head with a ball when someone botches a pass. Now THAT'S entertainment! [/sarcasm]
