Real F'n Show's WWE Booking

[Guest Real F'n Show]

With not much going on around here, and me being unable to keep one of these going very long it seems, I'm gonna try and start over, and keep the results shorter so I don't get tired of writing these. BTW, I give major credit to people like Ernie Rowe who spends a lot of his time writing detailed show results, so check his stuff out. Basically in this, I'll just be using the current WWE roster, possibly making a few minor changes here and there. I'll stick with the brand split, but trade superstars every once and awhile, and I'll be keeping all of the titles (plus adding two more) and PPVs. Here are the rosters:

[Guest Real F'n Show]

WWE OBSERVER NOTES from 5/4/04

credit: prowrestlingobserver.com

 

As mentinoned earlier, the WWE has undergone a slightly new direction with the writing crew. Don't expect many on-screen changes right away, but apparently writers are working on some fresh angles.

 

Jon Heidenreich and Gail Kim have both been sent down to OVW as of the present time.

 

Expect Tommy Dreamer to be making his TV return soon.

 

As it has been known for a few weeks, Lance Storm has retired, and will be working alongside other retired ring veterans, such as Dean Malenko, as a road agent.

 

The WWE is apparently very interested in the idea of bringing in a Heat and Velocity title, and the idea is almost confirmed. Expect it to mentioned in the coming weeks.

 

RAW is very near to calling up Alexis Laree. Laree will help fill in the Women's division now that Gail Kim is being sent down to OVW to work on her wrestling skills.

 

Hirohito could debut as early as next week's Raw.

 

Christopher Nowinski and Scott Steiner's injuries are healing well, and they could be back on TV in the coming months.

 

In a related note, Mark Henry has apparently reinjured himself while reabilitating, and could be out for up to another 6-7 months.

 

Many of the women wrestlers backstage at Raw are upset with Lita's sloppy wrestling style, claiming it makes them "look bad." Management has reportedly talked to Lita about toning her skills or being possibly sent down to OVW, although that most likely won't happen now that she is involved in the Kane angle.

 

Grandmaster Sexay will most likely be traded over to Smackdown soon to reform Too Cool with Rikishi and Scotty. It is unknown yet who he will be traded for, but it most likely won't be a major name.

 

Mordecai will be debuting soon, as noted by the video packages.

 

Mike Bucci, also known as Nova to ECW fans, and Carly Colon, son of infamous Carlos Colon of Puerto Rican wrestling fame, will also be debuting soon in the WWE's cruiserweight division. With wrestlers like Tajiri leaving Smackdown for Raw, the cruiserweight division needs some more faces, such as Nova and Colon, as well as Akio and Paul London, who Smackdown fans will possibly be seeing more of.

 

There are talks of turing the Basham Brothers into a face team. Talks have been about giving them a plumber's gimmick, ala the Super Mario Brothers.

 

The WWE is grooming Matt Morgan in OVW, in hopes of him becoming the next "Next Big Thing."

 

Orlando Jordan will be sent down to OVW in the next couple of weeks.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

Also, so this doesn't get confusing, you basically need to ignore all the angles and feuds taking place in real life right now, so don't expect Bradshaw vs. Eddie at Judgment Day. (Yay!) I will continue to use some angles that have already been started to keep a storyline going (heel Dudleys, etc.)

 

SMACKDOWN PREVIEW

 

Scheduled Matches:

 

US Title Number One Contender's Match:

RVD vs. Big Show

 

Smackdown Tag Titles:

Charlie Haas and Rico w/Miss Jackie © vs. Kyo Dai

 

Non-Title Match:

Booker T vs. John Cena

 

Rey Mysterio vs. Rene Dupree

 

PLUS:

 

Smackdown GM Kurt Angle will address a situation that needs to be taken care of involving WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero.

 

Chavo Guerrero and Chavo Sr. will both be in the house.

 

Tag Team Action!

 

All of this and more, this Thursday at 8/7 central, only on UPN.

[SamoaRowe 0]

Hey, thanks for the plug

 

Your stuff looks interesting, I look forward to updates

[Guest Real F'n Show]

Thanks for reading man.

 

WWE SMACKDOWN for May 6, 2004

 

We open with Cole and Tazz welcoming us to the show, but soon being cut off by Kurt Angle's music. The Smackdown GM makes his way out in a neckbrace, as Cole and Tazz inform us that he has undergone neck surgery this past weekend in hopes of being able to wrestle again. Angle gets on the mic as the fans chant "You Suck." He calls out Eddie Guerrero to a big pop.

 

After a few moments, Eddie's music hits as he makes his way to the ring. Angle tells Eddie that John Bradshaw Layfield has left the company to seek out his financial broker career. This leaves Eddie without an opponent for Judgment Day, which is just a little over a week away. He tells Eddie that there will be a battle royal here tonight, with the winner facing off against Eddie for the title at Judgment Day. We then head to a commercial break.

 

We come back with Angle in his office. Suddenly Booker T opens the door and walks in. He says he's second guessing challenging the Undertaker for Judgment Day and he's not sure he wants to go through with the match. Angle assures Booker that everything will be fine. Booker doesn't believe Angle, but he eventually leaves with a worried look on his face. After he closes the door, Angle says to himself, "Boy, do I feel sorry for him!"

 

Rene Dupree's music hits as he comes out with Dawn Marie. He says that Torrie Wilson has gotten on his nerves as of late and challenges her and Rey Mysterio to an intergender tag match at Judgment Day. Rey then comes out with Torrie and they accept the challenge. Rey then slides in the ring to go one on one with Dupree.

 

Rene Dupree w/Dawn Marie def. Rey Mysterio w/Torrie Wilson in 8:24 with his feet on the ropes. *3/4

 

After we return from a break, Paul London and Kidman make their way out for Tag Team Action! Instead of their opponent's music playing, we get Angle's music again. He says at Judgment Day there will be a Tag Team Turmoil match for the number one contendership to the Smackdown Tag Titles. The winner will face the tag champs immediately after that match for the belts. He says Kidman and London are an impressive team, and have been entered into the match. He says they won't be as lucky tonight though, because their opponents are the Dudley Boys.

 

The Duds come out to loud boos. They slide into the ring and the match is underway.

 

The Dudley Boys def. Paul London and Billy Kidman in 6:50 with the 3D on Kidman after he missed the shooting star press. **

 

Booker T vs. John Cena is next!

 

John Cena def. Booker T in a non-title match in 12:01 after Undertaker's gong distracted Booker and Cena got the FU for the win. **1/2

 

Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Sr. are out next. Apparently Chavo will be at Judgment Day, but he doesn't have a match quite yet. He's going to prove he's the best cruiserweight champ this company has ever seen, so he's issuing an open challenge to any cruiserweight in the world to accept at Judgment Day.

 

Meanwhile, Kurt Angle says that the number one contendership to the US Title match between the Big Show and RVD has been canceled, but both men will be competing in the Battle Royal tonight in the main event. Commercial.

 

Charlie Haas and Rico w/Miss Jackie def. Kyo Dai in 10:48 when Rico kissed Sakoda, allowing Haas to get a german suplex for the pin. **1/2

 

Judgment Day card rundown so far:

 

Booker T vs. The Undertaker

 

Eddie Guerrero vs. ? for the WWE Title

 

Rey Mysterio and Torrie Wilson vs. Rene Dupree and Dawn Marie

 

Chavo Guerrero's open challenge

 

Tag Team Turmoil

 

Charlie Haas and Rico vs. the winner of Tag Team Turmoil

 

 

 

The Battle Royal is next!

 

We return with Rikishi, RVD, Orlando Jordan, The Big Show, both Bashams, Hardcore Holly, Johnny Stamboli, John Cena and Billy Gunn in the ring for the Battle Royal. (Smackdown is really lacking main eventers right now...)

 

The Big Show dominates early, eliminating Danny Basham and Billy Gunn.

 

Cena throws Orlando Jordan out.

 

Rikishi knocks Stamboli out with a superkick.

 

The Big Show throws Holly out.

 

Cena throws Doug Basham out as The Big Show dumps Rikishi.

 

We're down to RVD, Cena, and The Big Show left in the battl-

 

Suddenly some new music hits as out comes the debuting Mordecai. He walks to the ring and slides in. RVD charges him but he gets booted in the face. Cena tries to FU Mordecai, but he slips out and clotheslines Cena over the top and to the outside!

 

Mordecai isn't done with Cena though, as he steps over the top rope, eliminating himself to continue going after Cena. He whips Cena into the ringpost and then slams him through the Spanish announce table! Mordecai stares down at Cena before heading to the back.

 

In the ring, RVD and Big Show are battling it out. Big Show goes for the chokeslam but RVD kicks him in the gut and nails rolling thunder. He then heads up top for the 5 Star Frogsplash, but Big Show meets him at the top. Big Show tries to chokeslam RVD off the top and to the outside, but RVD kicks him in the face, and Big Show topples out! RVD vs. Eddie at Judgment Day!

 

Eddie comes out to congratulate RVD as we go off the air.

 

 

I know the show sucked, but it's because SD is really lacking any starpower right now. I'll have to do something about that after Judgment Day. Feedback appreciated.

Since this has been SO popular so far, it's time for...

 

WWE OBSERVER NOTES from 5/7/04

credit: prowrestlingobserver.com

 

Jon Heidenrich, Bradshaw and Mark Henry have both been released by the WWE as of 5/6/04.

 

Alexis Laree is very close to being called up, and could appear on TV as early as the 5/10 Raw in San Jose.

 

Kenzo, formerly called Hirohito is confirmed for the 5/10 Raw.

 

The Mordecai character debuted on last night's Smackdown. It seems he will go into a program with John Cena, possibly leading to a match at Judgment Day.

 

The WWE is planning on bringing in a big name to answer Chavo's challenge at Judgment Day, and he is apparently signed to a contract already, although the WWE is keeping the identity safely underwrap.

 

Deciding on RVD vs. Eddie Guerrero as the Judgment Day main event was a last minute decision, as Bradshaw left the company earlier that day. Many backstage feel that this match will be much better anyway, despite having barely any build.

 

The WWE is planning on moving some big name Raw guys to Smackdown to fill the void. Names that have been mentioned include: Maven, Grandmaster Sexay, Christian and Trish, Tyson Tomko, and even Chris Jericho. The reasons for these superstars are that, WWE wants to team up Maven and Orlando Jordan, reunite Too Cool, have Christian and his entourage as another upper card heel, and have Chris Jericho be another main eventer, possibly going into a program with Eddie Guerrero down the road. Smackdown is desperately in need of starpower at this point, and ratings for the show have dropped significantly since the recent draft.

 

The Basham Brothers will be debuting their "Super Basham Bros." gimmick on the Smackdown after Judgment Day.

 

Rodney Mack is very close to being released as WWE officials have not been impressed with his work recently in OVW.

 

The WWE is also interested in bringing in Psychosis for the cruiserweight division, although he is currently not under contract and will most likely not be Chavo's opponent at Judgment Day.

 

Velocity and Heat titles will be announced on their respected shows this week.

 

The Tag Team Turmoil announced last night on Smackdown by Kurt Angle will include the following teams: Kyo Dai, Billy Gunn and Hardcore Holly, Billy Kidman and Paul London, The Dudley Boys, The Bashams, FBI, and Scotty Too Hotty and Rikishi.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

WWE VELOCITY for May 8, 2004

 

Opening pyro, followed by Josh Mathews and Bill DeMott welcome us to Velocity.

 

Scotty 2 Hotty's music hits, as we're kicking off Velocity with a singles match. Nunzio makes his entrance next, to decent heat.

 

Nunzio def. Scotty 2 Hotty in 7:02 while grabbing the ropes. Scotty went for a bulldog to set up the worm, but Nunzio ducked and rolled Scotty up, grabbing the middle rope for leverage, and got the pin. **

 

Josh says that when we come back, they will show us what Kurt Angle's special announcement on Smackdown was.

 

After coming back from commercial, we are shown Kurt Angle telling Eddie Guerrero about Bradshaw's departure with the company. Kurt makes a battle royal for the main event, with the winner receiving a title shot at Judgment Day. Later on Velocity, we will show you the battle royal.

 

Up next, Orlando Jordan takes on Mark Jindrak.

 

Theodore Long comes out and introduces Mark Jindrak. Jindrak comes out and poses in a mirror as no one cares. Orlando Jordan then comes out, yet still, no one cares.

 

Mark Jindrak def. Orlando Jordan in 5:40 with the "Mark of Excellence". 3/4*

 

We return from another commercial as we join last Thursday's battle royal in progress with John Cena, The Big Show, and RVD left. We see Mordecai's debut, eliminating John Cena and himself. We are shown RVD eliminating Big Show and being congratulated by Eddie Guerrero. The two will meet at Judgment Day for the WWE Title.

 

The Basham Brothers def. Funaki and Spike Dudley in 6:21 when Danny slingshotted Spike into a Doug second rope bulldog for the pin. *1/4

 

A commercial airs stating that next week a tournament begins to crown the first ever Velocity Champion.

 

We come back as Mathews and DeMott run down the Judgment Day card thus far:

 

Booker T vs. The Undertaker

 

Eddie Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam for the WWE Title

 

Rey Mysterio and Torrie Wilson vs. Rene Dupree and Dawn Marie

 

Chavo Guerrero's open challenge

 

Tag Team Turmoil

 

Charlie Haas and Rico vs. the winner of Tag Team Turmoil

 

 

Now it's time for the Velocity main event as Jamie Noble takes on the Ultimo Dragon!

 

Ultimo Dragon def. Jamie Noble in 13:34 with the Asai DDT. Great match here, with Noble bringing the awesome matwork and Dragon busting out the crazy kicks and flying moves. ***3/4

 

That's all for this week's Velocity! Make sure to watch next week as we begin the tournament to crown a Velocity Champion.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

Rhyno vs. Grandmaster Sexay

Up next, we take a look at Kane's actions from last week.

 

We return from break as we see clips of Kane trying to force Lita to tell Matt Hardy that she doesn't love him anymore. Lita gives away Kane's secret and Matt heads to the back to rescue her. He finds Lita, but Kane is nowhere to be seen.

 

Molly Holly def. Nidia with the Molly Go Round in 5:23. After the match, Nidia pulled Molly's wig off and she ran to the back. 3/4*

 

A promo airs for the Heat Title. Apparently a tournament for the title is starting next week, much like over on Velocity.

 

When we return, we take a look back at HBK vs. Benoit from last week's Raw.

 

We see highlights of Benoit vs. Michaels from Raw, ending with Triple H costing Michaels the world title by Pedigreeing him.

WWE OBSERVER NOTES from 5/9/04

credit: prowrestlingobserver.com

 

WWE has contacted Psychosis about signing with the company. No word yet, on if he will sign, or when he will debut.

 

Alexis Laree and Tommy Dreamer will both be wrestling matches for Heat tomorrow night.

 

Rodney Mack has been released by WWE.

 

Scott Steiner could very well be the next one released, as he is not healing as fast as WWE would like.

 

Some Raw superstars will be moved to Smackdown after Judgment Day.

 

Kenzo is still scheduled to appear tomorrow night on Raw. He will be accompanied by his wife and a bodyguard character.

 

As seen on Velocity and Heat, titles for the respected shows were announced and tournaments start next week for each belt.

 

Many fans will be surprised to see who Chavo's opponent is at Judgment Day. We won't spoil it, so you'll have to watch Judgment Day to see who it ends up being.

 

Expect at least two more matches to be announced for Judgment Day this Thursday night on Smackdown.

 

Raw for tomorrow night is a packed show. We've seen the script, and the show looks amazing. Be sure not to miss it.

 

Akio and Sakoda could start using the names Jimmy Yang and Ryan Sakoda on TV as early as this Thursday's Smackdown.

I'm quite interested in seeing if you're able to save Judgment Day with only two shows...

[Guest Real F'n Show]

I'm quite interested in seeing if you're able to save Judgment Day with only two shows...

Thanks for reading man, I'll do my best to save the show, but I may fail miserably with the shitty roster the WWE has given me...

 

Raw up in a few

[Guest Real F'n Show]

If you're having trouble reading any of the shows because of the color, tell me whcih ones and I'll correct the problem.

 

WWE RAW for May 10, 2004

 

Small video to start, showing Bischoff announcing 5 big matches for tonight.

 

Opening video and pyro, followed by JR and King welcoming us to Raw. They go over all 5 matches that will be shown tonight, and are interrupted by Evolution's music as Batista makes his way out for his match with Tajiri.

 

Batista def. Tajiri in 9:11 with the Demon bomb after Ric Flair interfered by distracting Tajiri as he went for the big kick. After the match, Flair attacks, but gets green misted! Tajiri then kicks Batista in the head and leaves to loud cheers. **

 

Up next, we'll hear from The Game-uh.

 

We come back from the break with Triple H making his way to the ring. After not-getting-to-the-point for about 5 minutes, he says that it wasn't a mistake that he attacked Shawn last week instead of Benoit. He's tired of Shawn stealing all of his title shots, and he's gonna put an end to it soon.

 

Backstage, Christian, Trish, and Tyson Tomko are in Bischoff's office. Christian boasts that this will be an easy match for him, because apparently he's the king of the cage. Okay. Bischoff says thats good because he's tired of Christian and Chris Jericho fighting all the time, so whoever loses tonight's cage match, has to leave Raw! Christian and his entourage look a little more scared now, but Christian says thats no problemo, because he has his Problem Solver, and tonight they will make Jericho's last night on Raw a memorable one.

 

Eugene is shown warming up backstage, doing toe-touches as Regal tells him his match is next. We go to our second commercial.

 

We come back with La Resistance in the ring. Conway has a mic and is making fun of Eugene. Suddenly "Real American" hits as Eugene makes his way out with Regal to a huge pop.

 

Eugene w/William Regal def. Rob Conway w/Sylvan Grenier in 5:08 with the Regal Stretch. Conway seemed a little surprised with Eugene's wrestling ability. Eugene nailed some nice armdrags, a body slam, and a suplex during the match. Conway got in some offense, but tapped to Eugene's trainer's favorite hold. **

 

The crowd popped big for Eugene's win. After the match, Eugene started up a USA chant, and the crowd chanted along. Suddenly some Japanese music cut off the USA chants as 2 Japanese males and one Japanese female made their way to the ring. Regal quickly took Eugene to the back as the three individuals got into the ring. The larger Japanese man took a mic and let the audience know his name by shouting "I am KENZO!" 3 or 4 times. He went on to say in a Japanese accent that America was a disgrace, making mentally retarded wrestlers fight for our pleasure. He "come here to teach Americans lesson!" Kenzo, along with the other man and woman headed to the back to some boos.

 

Backstage, Matt Hardy knocks on Lita's dressing room and tells her to hurry up because their match is next. He waits for awhile and eventually decides to go in. He enters her dressing room to find that she isn't there, but there is a note on the table. Hardy reads the note in shock, and quickly leaves the dressing room, screaming Lita's name.

 

Chris Benoit def. Rhyno in 8:19 with the Crippler Crossface to retain the World Title. Same old, same old from these two. **

 

We cut outside as the camera follows Matt Hardy to a bridge where Kane has Lita by the throat. Hardy charges at Kane but Kane starts beating the shit out of him. Kane then picks Hardy up and throws him over the bridge and down about 30 feet into the water as Lita watches on in horror. Kane then grabs the screaming Lita and storms off. We cut to commercial.

 

We return, as JR is disgusted at what we just witnessed.

 

The steel cgae starts to be lowered as Christian's music hits. He comes to the ring with Trish and Tomko and cautiously enters the cage.

 

Countdown, pyro, and Y2J makes his entrance to a big ovation.

 

Chris Jericho def. Christian w/Trish Stratus and Tyson Tomko in 18:44 after escaping the cage. Long and grueling match with Tomko and Trish preventing Jericho from escaping the cage, and Jericho somehow being able to keep Christian from getting out. Eventually, Jericho pulled Trish into the ring and locked hger into the Walls. He then rammed Christian into the cage and dropkicked the door of the cage into Tomko, before escaping for the win. ***3/4

 

After the match, Christian throws a tantrum that he has to leave Raw as the crowd does the "Na-Na-Na-Na" thing. Christian, Trish, and Tomko all head to the back.

 

We are shown a screen that says that Chris Benoit will be appearing on the Highlight Reel next week.

 

Evolution's music plays yet again as Randy Orton makes his way out.

 

Edge's music then plays as he comes out to a big reaction.

 

Randy Orton def. Edge to retain the WWE IC Title in 14:27 with the RKO after interference from Batista and Ric Flair. Beatdown after the match, but Mick Foley and Barbie soon make the save.

 

Promo for the upcoming Sunday Night Heat, which will be live from the site of Smackdown's Judgment Day PPV and will feature a match in the first round of the Heat Title Tournament.

 

Smackdown Rebound with highlights of Booker T vs. Cena with Undertaker's gong ringing, and the Battle Royal for the number one contendership to Eddie Guerrero's title, won by RVD.

 

Our main event is next, with Triple H going one on one with Shelton Benjamin.

 

Shelton Benjamin def. Triple H in 11:22. Benjamin went for the Stinger Splash in the corner but Trips pulled the ref in the way for a ref bump. Trips then hit Benjamin with the Pedigree but there was no ref. Shawn Michaels then ran out and Superkicked Triple H as the ref recovered. Shelton crawled over and pinned Trips for the victory. ***

 

Show ends with HBK raising Benjamin's arm into the air as an extremely angry Triple H looks on.

 

Feedback please.
