Guest Sykotic2002 Report post Posted April 7, 2002 Another good piece of work. Can't wait to read what you have for April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 7, 2002 Really enjoyed March. The only thing i'd say i didn't like was the lack of build up to the Intercontinental match up at Wrestlemania. I also like the way your not changing the tiitles too often. It makes the titles seem so muck more important. I like the booking of the Midcard. HHH and Stone Cold in particular are being booked superbly. Nice angle with Fatu. Enjoyed that one. A good way to start off feuds with HHH, Razor. Undertaker, Mankind and Diesel and Micheals. Intresting to see who Warriors feud will be with. Vader maybe? Your booking the Tag Titles very well also. Glad that the Donnas regained the Gold. All in All a great March!!!!!!!! Look 4ward to April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted April 13, 2002 Fantastic build up to all the matches at the In Your House. Diesel being booked as a killer heel and the whole injury angel with Michaels really set up the title match well. HHH finally beat Razor to remain undefeated and add the Intercontinental Title to his arsenal. Will be interesting to see who he feuds with, me thinks maybe newcomer Mero? How's about that I called the Warrior/Vader feud. I like that the whole Vader/Yoko feud isn't over as it really puts heat on the rivalry of feuds. I'd like to see more of a push to Ahmed (thinking about it he could end HHH's undeafeated streak.He is ideal with big wins over Vader and Davey Boy Smith) I think it's Time for The Gunns to reclaim the belts of off a successful reign for The Donna's. Nice upset for Aldo on The Kid Great booking of Mankind and Undertaker.With the intrugue of Paul Bearer's involvment. BTW Where's Sable? and Whats happened to the Soman Gangsta Party? And by far your hardest working superstar is none other than Bob Holly, he fights every week:) Look 4ward to May. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Sykotic2002 Report post Posted April 20, 2002 Hey, this was great. I think it may be the best you've done so far for '96. Surprised HHH kept the IC Title over Warrior. Can't wait to read what you have fo June. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 20, 2002 Good stuff. I really like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 21, 2002 I really enjoying this serise and hope you continue right up to the current day. Thoughts for May. Once again a splendid job of building to the Hart Of A Champion PPV. All the right people went over in my opinion. Great story with Michaels and his injury, nice that Bret Hart was thrown into the mix to add a lot of intrigue. Nice to see you are extending this Owen Hart and Michaels rivalry and It's a pleasent suprise that Stone Cold has already been put into a main event storyline just 6 months after his debut. The seeds are already sown for a Bret/Steve showdown and I expect Austin to winn The KOTR and go on to face Michaels at Summerslam. Bob Holly with Two victories !!!!!! Good on you , he deserves them. Totally right thing to do that HHH regained the gold over the Ultimate Warrior, what a huge feather in his cap. Undefeated for nearly a year. Not bad going. Ahmed is getting more airtime which I like. I would like to see him in an angle though. Maybe with Vader, Bulldog or Goldust (who hasn't done anything notworthy) Paul Bearer joining Manking early was a suprise as well, I knew it was coming but I didn't expect it so soon. Braking up the Headshrinkers was also a suprise. Looks like Fatu is back to jobbing duty. I think Mero has a bright future in your Federation and I look forward to see how you bring in Sid to the Federation. (Will he be a Face or Heel) Good move at jobbing the 123 Kid out of the company as well. Look 4ward to KOTR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All four of the Quarterfinal matches will take place on the Raw Six Days before KOTR. WWF tag team champions The Smoking Gunns def Mark Kyle and Tracey Smothers after the Sidewinder on Kyle in 5:32 -Sucessful tag team title defense for the Gunns. Billy Gunn is in the KOTR tournament because only one member of the regular tag teams(New Rockers, Body Donnas, Godwinns, and Gunns) were allowed. Tracey Smothers got sidewinded and pinned. Creepy music leads to Austin's rampage of last week:Mad that he got snubbed off of the IYH card, Austin stunned Bret Hart for no reason and then attacked Shawn Michaels with a stunner at the end of Raw. Austin has made a name from himself with those attacks on the two top names in the WWF. Austin will be in the KOTR tournament and is one of the odds on favorite to win. Vader def "The Great" Barry Horowitz after the Power Bomb in 3:21 -Barry jobs. Barry goes splat. Per usual for Barry Horowitz. Vader power bombs Barry for the pin. Vader gets on the microphone and says that he has the best Power Bomb in wrestling and if anybody thinks differently they can try to prove him wrong.

Justin Bradshaw pinned Bob Holly after the Lariat in 5:32 -Speaking of Good ol' Sparky their he is with your weekly superstars fill of him either getting squashed or winning a squash. This time it was option A. Holly went hit a dropkick but went for the Overhead Cam. That move only hits on Jobbers sadly and Holly crashes. Holly gets up and walks right into the Lariat. Bradshaw pins Holly. Bradshaw wins. Both men are in the KOTR tournament BTW. A weird bit of footage ends Superstars.

Taylor makes it to the ropes and Owen picks up Taylor and calmly hits an Enzugiri to him. Taylor drops and Owen covers him:One, Two, Three. Owen takes the HBK shades and he says he is going to finish HBK off and this will be what the sound of the boot going off of HBK's skull sounds like. Owen sets down the glasses and stomps them viciously. Owen then says the last thought that enters your mind before you drop is that you should have retired after I kicked you the first time on November 20, 1995. Bob Holly vs Justin Bradshaw from superstars is shown. Davey Boy Smith def Jake Roberts after a rollup with feet on the ropes 7:32 -I think this is the most high profile Action Zone exclusive in a while.

Guest Report post Posted April 28, 2002 Another solid month. I'd really rather see Austin dominate the upper-mid card first before you stick him in the main event. But, I want to see where you go. Again, good stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WWF4Life Report post Posted April 28, 2002 Pretty good, but I think Vader needs a much larger role. The World title scene is getting a bit stagnant with just HBK and Owen...I'd introduce Vader pretty soon. Maybe after his feud with Sid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Haku Report post Posted April 28, 2002 I can't tell how much I love the Undertaker Mankind feud. I loved the first one and the second is even better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 28, 2002 Another Solid Month of booking. It didn't take long for Stone Cold to reach the Main Event feuding with the top two faces in the company, being Hart and Michaels. I don't think he will win the title off of Michaels as I don't think he is ready, but who knows??? The Mankind/Undertaker feud is a WAR!!!! Great booking with this one. Triple H now has Sid in his cap. A great way to introduce Sid back, and a logical feud for him with Vader. Who can stop Triple H?????? The Tag division is very stale, but you ain't got much to work with, I like the Ahmed and Yoko pairing, wouldn't be a bad idea as a team for the foreseable future. Interesting where Brian Pillman will fit into the federation? 8/10 Enjoyed as Ever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sykotic2002 Report post Posted April 28, 2002 This was a good show, but something needs to be done with the tag division. I know there isn't much to be done, but maybe you'll figure something out. Have the Guuns fued with the New Rockers or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 8, 2002 Dude, more!

Peace! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 9, 2002 This was a great month mate. Brilliant Booking. Stone Cold Steve Austin a mere 6 months after his debut is now a MAJOR threat to Shawn Michaels Title. I love the way you have booked this angle, after I thought you had elevated him too soon. Nonsense. You've made him out as a serious threat. I don't think he will win the title though as there is the Bret Hart Feud just screaming out to be elaborated on. However don't rush the angle. What was everyone (me included saying about the Tag Division). WELL DONE!!!! I didn't see the The Underdogs winning the title at all, I think they deserve it just as much as The Godwins or any other teams for that matter, as they are two of the hardest workers in your Federation. A two week reign was long enough for the titles to be on them, and now you have the team of Hart and Davey Boy as the Champs who don't get along. Should make for some intriging booking. Both Goldust and Ahmed are gettin into Angles which I've been hopping for a long time. Mr Perfect and HHH - Great Booking. Really not sure if Perfect will win though???? Again the Undertaker is having his best feud EVER with Mankind. Will be interesting to see how much longer this will continue and where they will head to after. Who, Hooper, Sincre, Poutre (Don't remember Him) and Freddie Joe Floyd all made debuts but unlike Farroq I don't think they have anything to offer the Federation but are important as they will be able to put over deserving guys like Holl, Vega and Bradshaw!!!! I'm liking the Sid and Vader Feud. I think Vader will come out on top and go onto face Michaels for the Title. All In All 9/10!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 13, 2002 Excellent booking. I'm glad you introduced some new superstars. A few minor complaints though. First of all, I don't like the idea of T.L. Hopper jobbing every night. Second of all, I don't like the idea of Who jobbing either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
