[Movie] WWE/TNA fanfiction thread

So...I have been away for a week and missed Raw.

So, during this time away, I play some Raw Vs Smackdown! 2008 on my PSP. More specifically, I played Punk Vs Edge for the World title with PUnk winning. I thought to myself, "Now that would be pretty cool but we all know it won't happen. Punk will lose his MITB case to someone else who will cash it in."

Imagine my surprise when I finally got a chance to read up on what happened on Raw.

And I am taking it that by now, a week later, I don't have to spoiler this.

It will be interesting to see where this goes. Raw has a slew of challenges who could easily win the title. I'm interested to see if they will let Punk go through them, thereby enchancing his name and profile. Or if they will have him lose within weeks. So far, they managed to avoid having Punk have a hallow, Tommy Dreamer-like title reign when they had him beat JBL.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I think MVP isn't going to go face. There are already too many faces including Trips, Hardy, and Kennedy, with Undertaker possibly being another choice as well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Of course...we all know that...

Spoiler:

Kane is asking about Paul Bearer. Ooooooooh yes!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That has to be one of the top LOL moments I have seen ina long, long, long time, wrestling-wise.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Spoiler:

So...after roughly three years, I got to FINALLY watch some WWE on television like a 'normal' person. YES!

Anyway, yeah, Cena was kinda MIA after the JBL thing. Whoops. Maybe that will be part of the angle though...with JBL's facial expression being shocked Cena got out of the way. It would also make sense as um, if you have a guy laido ut in front of a car, and ram another car full force into the guy, that would pretty much be it for him. I mean, when Hogan crashed his car into Rock's, there was the POSSIBILITY that The Rock would have been OK. but this time it was totally head-on.

And Beth was defintely going to become the new Chyna. I mean...Glamazon?

Spoiler:

For those wondering, WWE.com confirmed last night that John Cena was able to "escape" the car attack from JBL with only minor scratches. So, he isn't dead and will be wrestling this Sunday at Great American Bash against JBL in the New York City Parking Lot Brawl. On a side note, the latest edition of Wrestling News Live with myself and the Trey Dawg looking at last night's Raw and more is up at this link.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

So, prediction time:

Edge Vs Triple H: I see this scenario. Vickie gets revenge on Edge by allowing...the Dead Man to come back. Taker beats the crap out of Edge, leading to a DQ win for Edge. There will be a confrontation between Taker/Trips that will lead to their match at Summerslam.

Punk Vs Batista: Punk wins it thankst o interference by Kane. Batista will dominate a good bit, but Punk will keep coming back. Punk might even hit a GTS only for him not tocover immediatley and get a two count. Kane though will come in and look like he is giong for Punk but instead goes for Batista for beating him a few weeks back/getting in his way a week ago. This will start a Batista/Kane feud.

Diva title: Natalie will win it. Why is this title replacing the CW title?

Tag title match: Champs retain.

Y2J Vs HBK: Jericho by DQ. HBK will go nuts with, say, a chair, costing himself the match. This iwll lead to a No-DQ match or such later on.

Mark Henry Vs Tommy Dreamer: Henry.

JBL Vs Cena: JBL has lost match after match against Cena. Furthermore, he couldn't even get some heat back with the whole car thing (Cena moved out of the way). JBL gets it here but the feud isn't over as Cena will carry the fight onto the next PPV where the winner gets a shot atthe world title.

Matt Vs Shelton: Mattitude wins it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Quote for truth.

If anything, after Vince/Steph blasts our writing and replaces it with 'masterpieces that will surely keep WWE fans interests for years onward', but before we get fired, we can do the ultimate statement by turning in before, say, a major PPV, our thoughts of what their writing amounts to with a few pages of blank paper and the remains of a candy wrapper.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Rey rey is still recovering. he came back a bit too early I heard.

Thoughts on all but the beginning show segment.

DLo/Kelly/Beth/Santino - Santino/Beth are the 2008 version of Eddie/Chyna. Storyline wise anyway. The match was nothing special and I think they shouldn't have had D-Lo lose in his second match back. Granted, he didn't get pinned, but D-Lo is already back on the track to what he was when he left. Soon, D-Lo will be enhancement talent unless he can really do something to break out. Oh, and the whole storyline between Beth and Santino is boring. It really feels kiddish they way they are handling it (but then again, with the WWE going back to a PG rating, maybe that's why).

I liked Jericho's reasoning with ending the Highlight Reel but it got a bit boring to hear him tell us for the eighth time why he is doing this. His promo was OK...just too repeated. He ended HBK's career, he's mature now, the audience is not, etc. If they were wise, they'd have Brian Kendrick do something with Jericho/Cade, and that way push TWO guys. Even if Jericho punks him, it's more fresh than the same basic promo.

Tag Team Match - Served it's purpose. Granted, the overal purpose for it wasn't that good but it did it's job. Cody is fitting nicely as a heel.

Jamie/Koji - What different roads two former ROH world champions have taken. Jamie is being beaten within a minute, while Punk is world champion. Jamie can do so much more but he can't even get a nice stepping block in the IC title. He would do better in ECW.

Regal/Punk - An excellent match. You can see REgal knows this is his LAST chance. ONe more screwup and he is gone. A great back and forth match, and got a bit bloody too. Punk also showed he has improved with a nice win over Regal.

JBL/Punk/Kane - An interesting segment. Kane is definitely a tweener which is NICE. it fits him well. I would forsee this becoming a triple threat match at Summerslam given that they somehow managed NOT to make it an elimination chamber match (on one hand, I understand, they had two of them about six months ago. However, this situation screams for an EC match-up).


Micke/Jillian - A nice little match with Mickie winning. Good usage of her being blindsided while saying "Hi" to her dad.

Tag Team Main Event - A decent match with Kane only being seen as minorly weak by taking the loss. I would have had Cena/Batista punk the new GM in an act of "we think this guy is a joke" moment, and then had Kane punk both of them to regain his heat but that;s just me.

Oh, and the new GM is reasonable from drawing the fans ire but sucks nonetheless.

FELIPE NO

And here I thought Flair would be like Blassie or Moolah with lifetime employment in the WWE.

Flair and the WWE have parted ways...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well, I thought that now that Flair's career is over, he'd more or less just represent the WWE, especially after the big "good-bye" they had for him a few months back and his latest DVD project.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So "Chris Harris" is already gone. I guess maybe he'll come back and reunite with James Storm to remake AMW....well, if Storm drops 'Beer Money'.

Seems that Holly is basically done. Not with the WWE, but just being on T.V. as his thing with Cody is basically his last run.

Oh and Russo is trying to convince Sting to turn heel. Sting is obviously impressed with Russo's last attempt at this about a decade ago. Such that he isn't wanting to do it. But hey, maybe that's an "internet rumor" to get people to be surprised if Sting does turn fully heel.

Oh, and IS Kane a heel or not? one week he's out beating up Punk, then he's punching out JBL, now he was taking down Matt Stryker. Oh, and wouldn't it actually be interesting if what was in the bag was NOT his mask but biker-Taker's gloves?

When Kane got rid of Biker-Taker all those years ago, he said taker was dead, even having a funeral or whatnot. What if he was worried that Biker-Taker was coming back (although WHY would be a good question).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, prediction time:

Cena-Batista: I hope WWE can really build up this feud all the way to wrestlemania. In truth, this SHOULD have been a mania match but they got scared and did it earlier. Given that Cena lost the tag titles and Batista was the one who originally won em for their team, Cena will get the duke here. Batista will even it up at the next PPV.

Now, I know WWE's long-term programming is well, non-existent (save for Taker-Edge), but I'd have Cena win here, Batista win at the next PPV with Batista turning heel. Batista challenges Punk for the title at No Mercy, in which Cena costs him the title. Cena/Batista go at it at Survivor Series which becomes a no-contest. Cena then challenges Orton for the title at the Dec PPV (Orton beats Punk at SS for the title) in which Batista costs him the title. Both men eliminate each other at the Royal Rumble. Both men are then restrainted until Mania and have their big blow-off.

Punk-JBL - How JBL ever got into the title contension when he has lost nearly every match save for that one out of like three against Cena is beyond me. I am hoping Punk retains because a JBL title reign works only once, and honestly, there are plenty of heels for Punk to defend against (Orton, Jericho, etc) compared to the um...err...how many faces on Raw?

Koji/Mickie Vs Beth/Santino - C'mon, you KNOW the WWE will have a title change with this type of match. My bet is Beth pinning Mickie, and then start some sort of weird feud with Santino because she'll feel SHE should be the IC champion.

Mark Henry Vs Matt Hardy - Henry retains. Oh, and GO Colin Delanley!

Undertaker Vs Edge - So the big blow off to their near year and a half feud. Good for both men. Edge looks great, and Undertaker's return is highly anticipated. Too bad Mic couldn't be apart of this match (he was suppose to be but Vince said to him 'things have changed'). Edge will go beserk, bringing his game to THE level that it should be at, but will ultimately go down to the Deadman. The Deadman will then go on to finally have that long-awaited match with Triple H....

Triple H Vs Khali - How did Khali get into the main event? I mean, Summerslam is THE secnod biggest PPV of the year and he, who has been nowhere near the title pictures gets the duke? Argh. At any rate, Trips is going to beat Khali, then go on to feud with either MVP, Jeff hardy, for perhaps Undertaker.

Jeff Hardy Vs MVP - A toss-up here. Most would immediately think Hardy,b ut the thing is, who WILL Triple H face next? Undertaker is my likely guess, but MVP is also a good option given they are going the 'younger blood' route. I'll pick Hardy on this one, but MVP for going onwards to the title picture after a great showing.

HBK's announcement - He's going to retire. He'll milk it for all it's worth. Jericho will come out and tearf him a new one. HBK will take it...but he'll be back.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hahaha, I know Slash. I was saying that cuz the guy got punked as a face, punked as a heel, then got released.

I don't see HBK retiring. It just seems odd that the guy who retired Ric Flair is retired less than six months later. Just doesn't seem right...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, for HBK, yeah, it has been hard. I really felt his title match with Cena was his last big attempt at the gold. Sure, he had his match with Orton, but we all knew Orton would win.

His feud with Kennedy was an obvious attempt at putting Kennedy on the map, but wasn't anything special. Flair-HBK was very well done. Batista-HBK was OK. It felt like they were wasting time until HBK-Jericho.

Honestly, the thing about HBK is he's still great on the mic, and still great in the ring. It's just that there isn't much that can be done if he isn't going to hold the title for a while. And if they are going with the young guys (man, now I am starting to feel old. I remember when HBK was 'young' compared to an 'old' Hulk Hogan), I think HBK won't have a chance of holding the title ever again. The only other option is for HBK to go heel and obviously that isn't going to happen either as HBK hates being a heel now.

Most amazing jew boots

RIP Kowaski.

And ouch, HBK is injured again. Torn biceps or something and he may be out long-term.

HBK is starting to take more and more time off. Understandably so but yeah, he was out since Julyish, and may not even makei t back for this one match. And Cena is out too. So much for any top faces. Just WHO is left save for Punk and I-am-going-to-turn-heel-if-Cena-doesn't-on-his-return Batista?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ouch, and the ratings plummet to 2.6ish this week.

FELIPE NO

My predictions:

Kane Vs Rey Rey: Vince had Rey put his mask back on despite being taboo in Mexico (as in people booing Mysterio out of the building and rioting). Furthermore, Rey was offered (and turned down) a lucrative contract from AAA that was in the millions. Finally, Rey makes Vince al ot of money with the mask. Hence, Rey wins, sorta like Matt Hardy did against Kane years ago (quick roll up).

Phoenix vs Candice: candice finally makes her return. She though doesn't have the same momentum as before. Phoenix will get the duke here.

Show Vs Undertaker - Taker chokes Show out. Show though will go on to face Triple H (and beat him).

Batista Vs JBL - Batista wins. JBL's return has been a joke. I so forsee him going back to Smackdown! in next years draft to reclaim his former glory.

Hardy Vs Henry - Hardy wins via Twist of Fate on a chair, steel steps or something.

Triple H Vs Hardy - Back and forth, with Triple H getting the duke. Russian guy will cost Hardy the win, and there will be some tension betwen Trips and Hardy but still a handshake.

Jericho Vs HBK - Cade will cost HBK the title.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Jericho goes by the old philosphy of you gotta pretend that what you think is right, no matter how far off it is. You believe it so much that you feel all others are wrong. Of course, some of his comments about HBK are true (faking his knee injury for instance) which adds that more of a twist to his character.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Heh, I was debating whether or not to feel bad for not seeing a local wrestling event. Believe it or not, I have not attended one event even after being a fan for like thirteen or fourteen years. Heh, the worst was at my high school they had Steamboat~Flair advertised but I had just become a fan and it was too late to get tickets/I was too uneducated about wrestling to know that was a darn good match.

Of course, those wrestling included THE FLOCK (it took me a minute to realize they weren't ripping off The Rock and yes it really was the Flock that Raven led ten years ago), and Shannon Moore (who I just can't get into, even after watching the Hardyz Omega and WWE DVDs).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

There are no flaws.

Oh, and

Spoiler:

Sting won it again. Somehow, given the fact he won last year, I had a feeling he'd win the title again. Question is...will he hold it longer than one month (1st reign in TNA) or two weeks (2nd reign).

And how amusing that once again Nash, and a baseball bat play a decisive decision.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

And wow, who'd Lance piss off? Lance Cade, who aided Jericho just two weeks ago in his world title defense...is gone.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Actually, I find it going further from what it was. Before, they had it that they were legitimate, now they are saying it's pure entertainment. That's foolish as this all distinguished the WWE from others.

As for the new stricter rules...when I was maybe 12 or 13...I would have cheered this. Now though, that helps make the match. I guess if Ric was still wrestling, he'd have lost nearly all his matches by DQ....

I was speaking idiomatically.

They should pre-record it, and then one time do something like a title switch that afternoon on a "house show" that they televise instead.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I am quoting you but adding a few of my own personal thoughts.

WWE Diva Halloween Costume Contest - Women's Champion Beth Phoenix, Divas Champion Michelle McCool, Brie Bella, Candice Michelle, Eve, Jillian, Katie Lea Burchill, Kelly Kelly, Layla, Lena Yada, Maria, Maryse, Natalya, Tiffany, Victoria and Mickie James.

I'm still not sure WHAT this match entails. So, I agree. Let's more on.

Winner: Candice Michelle.



Pick the Tag Team Match - World Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase vs. CM Punk & Kofi Kingston / John Morrison & The Miz vs. Cryme Tyme / Jamie Noble & Mickie James vs. William Regal & Layla

This is a tough one. they had dibiase/Rhodes in an angle in which I believe is the lead to them going to the next level. It's amazing though how quickly writers forget past history (Rhones/orton anyone?). I think they are going to have Punk and Kingston squeeze out a win if anything so Punk doesn't look like a complete fool having lost the title and a rematch for it and then suddenly staying clear away from it.

Winner and new Tag Champions: CM Punk and Kofi Kingston.



Intercontinental Championship Match (WWE Universe chooses Santino Marella's opponent) - Santino vs. Piper / Goldust / Honky Tonk Man

Piper hands down is going for the title. I could see Piper actually getting the title...even if for just a short period of time. santino is not exactly a dominant champion so it wouldn't hurt his character. For Piper, well, its' amazing that two years ago he was chosen as Flair's partner to get the tag titles (in which the title reign had to be cut short). I could see Piper getting the title, kinda like a nice moment in his career, then losing it the next night.

Winner and new champion: Piper



Cyber Sunday Preview Match (WWE Universe chooses United States Champion Shelton Benjamin's opponent) - Shelton vs. R-Truth / MVP / Festus

Interestingly enough, I voted for MVP for the match, if anything. MVP was entertaining when he had the title. that being said, save for the "humor vote" regarding Festus, I forsee R-Truth getting a shot and getting the title.

Winner and new champion: R-Truth



ECW Championship Match (WWE Universe chooses Matt Hardy’s opponent) - Hardy vs. Henry / Bourne / Finlay

I don't follow ECW either, so this is just another guess. I think Finlay will be voted in, but Henry will be pissed that he didn't get voted so he'll come in and just destroy people.

Not a bad idea. I actually am going to vote for Bourne though, in which it will be a heavy, back-and-forth match with Hardy coming out on top.
Winner: Mattitude



Kane vs. Rey Mysterio (WWE Universe chooses type of match) - Falls Count Anywhere / No Holds Barred / Best 2-out-of-3 Falls Match

No, this is where I feel Kane will do some damage to Rey. I would love to see it be 2 out of 3 falls so that, if anything, have Rey get a win over kane (presumably). it's a toss up between Falls Count Anywhere and No Holds Barred,but I am leading towards No Holds Barred in which Kane gets the duke.

Winner:Kane



World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho vs. Batista (WWE Universe chooses referee) - Orton / HBK / Stone Cold

Though HBK is liked a lot, Stone Cold will be voted here. After a long battle, Jericho will somehow pull off the upset and get the win. However, he'll end up getting a Stunner because...what's a PPV with Stone Cold without a Stunner?
(Agreed)
Winner and still champion: Chris Jericho



Undertaker vs. Big Show (WWE Universe chooses type of match) - Knockout Match / I Quit Match / Last Man Standing Match

Last Man Standing will be voted here so these two can pretty much tear each other apart. One of two things will happen:
1. Undertaker destroys Big Show
2. Big Show takes out Taker and Taker can't even get up on his own power, so the Creatures of the Night carry him out and he returns at another PPV.

I get the feeling that option #1 will happen here, though it'll take about 30 minutes before the Big Show stays down for the 10 count.
(I agree)
Winner: Undertaker



WWE Championship (WWE Universe chooses challenger) - HHH vs. Hardy / Kozlov / Triple Threat (Hardy and Kozlov)

Hardy will definitely be in, so it's down to either option 1 or 3. I figure the people will want to see option #3 so HHH and Hardy team up to take out Kozlov, then fight it out amongst themselves. HHH will retain after a Pedigree to Hardy or Kozlov.

(I agree)
Winner and still champion: HHH


Phew...there's my picks.[/QUOTE]

Spoiler:

And wow, was I ever off. I got one out of it all. Eesh.

A few notes:
The US title match was on the preview shot. R-Truth surprisingly lost to Shelton again. I guess they are really building Shelton as a solid champ once more.
How the heck did CT face Morrison/Miz over the tag team title match? And why did CT lose AGAIN? It was bad losing once with all that build-up (especially as, in my opinion, Morrison and the Miz tag team lifespan may be coming to an end...they have been together a year but now I think it has about run it's course), but they lost the rematch too?
Honky Tonk Man won? Wow. And this must be like the first match he has had in like twenty years as a "face".
Interestingly, I was just reading Batista's book where he talks about his first and second title reign. Well, he now has a third and FOURTH title reign. Good thing too as it just felt off somehow having Austin count the pinfall for Jericho. Sucks for Jericho though who had, what, a six week reign? I thought Jericho was going to Mania man!

FELIPE NO

Well, looks like another late fall cleaning.

Chuck Palumbo and Paul London were released (again for at least Palumbo if not both).

Super Crazy got tired of going nowhere and quit.

Palumbo was not surprising. He came in sorta like Biker taker but without that aura or the interviews. He feuded with Chris Masters, got beat up, then ended the feud when Masters was suspended/fired. Palumbo floundered afterwards, trading wins and roles with Noble, as well as um, a valet whose name currently escapes me. after that, I can't remember much else.

London did well about two years ago, having the longest title reign both with regards to Smackdown! and overall in the past ten or fifteen years. Problem was that there wasn't too much of a tag division. He and THE Brian Kendrick went to Raw in which they won some matches, lost some matches, but never really won the title save for that brief, few day reign in Africa. As soon as they were split due to the last brand draft, London wasn't really used at all.

Additional Spam:
And what a chance from the past. With wrestling on a downturn complicated by the economy, for once there isn't an "instant, less than two minute" or whatnot sellout for WrestleMania. Tickets are still available although the first four rows are sold out.l
