luckily we have certain resources and that topic was about to lock anyway and everybody has predictions in so we are waiting on me at this point
Welcome to the TEW topic! I'm running WWE, so you get to sit back and enjoy the show, although there's also a prediction contest running if you wanna jump in and try to make my booking even MORE derpy. Lopen, eddv, and War also have TEW diaries going in case you want to see some actual good booking.
I'll have STORY SO FAR and whatnot up sometime today. Maybe SD as well but that involves putting down Pokemon Conquest :(

Also on the offchance that we get new readers with the new topic, it's a pretty decent time to get into things! My diary is gearing up for Wrestlemania, and you can jump into the prediction contest only one show down!
PREDICT IT! SD 3/1/12
MitB Qualifier: Show v. Barrett Ryder v. Clay #1 Contender: Gail v. Layla v. Rosa v. Natalya MitB Qualifier: DDP v. Carlito Cara v. Henry MitB Qualifier Ladder: Yoshi v. Zeke v. Mordecai v. Young v. Hunico v. Husky Non-title: Harts v. Chavo/Cody Sheamus/Bryan v. Awesome Truth Bonus (2): ME is pretty obviously going to be MotN...but what's the SECOND best match? NXT Bonus (2): Show/Cabana v. Cryme Tyme
HAHAHAHAHAhahaha You thought you escaped? You thought you had seen the last of me. Well I am the MASTER and the RULER of the WORLD.....and I am back!
Welcome to NWA FROM HOLLYWOOD, LIVE FROM ALABAMA
The show opens with Sid demanding a title shot, seeing as hes put most of the roster in the hospital and he demands recognition for his POWER. Because Hes THE MAN. Suddenly Vaders music hits and Vader says nothing, he just comes down and starts beating on Sid. They go back and forth before Russo comes out announces that clearly Sid hasnt hospitalized EVERYONE and he'll get Vader ONE on ONE tonight in a STRETCHER MATCH (63)
Colt Cabana vs. Adam Pearce in a NO HOLDS BARRED match.
Johnny Fairplay tells us this match was made by Pearce, who still has the booking powers Russo granted him, to allow himself the opportunity to wear down Cabana before their title match next week.
Colt comes out all smiles, looking to take a psychological advantage, while Pearce takes advantage of the rules and cheats, pretty much in every way imaginable. Cabana eventually throws his arms and walks out on the match, claiming "he doesnt need this, he'll get what he wants next week." (55, Pearce off his game)
Next Eddie Edwards is seen speaking with Vince Russo backstage. Eddie claims that since he has wrestled the TV champ, Monty Brown, to a time limit draw twice in one month, he deserves a chance at Monty with NO time limit to settle things. Russo says he'll think about it, but in the meantime, hes got a tag match against Monty and Shaun Spears NEXT. (43)
Monty Brown and Shaun Spears vs. Jack Evans and Eddie Edwards. (58)
And in a surprisingly fast match, Eddie proves he may be entitled to be TV champ, as he makes quick work of Brown, forcing him to tap out to the Achilles Lock!
Gail Kim vs. Allison Danger Gail squashes Allison(50), and begins to celebrate, when Melina appears at the top of the stage flanked by the Canadian Ninja, and reads off some poetry about GAIL THE FAIL. (72!)
While this is going on, Ayako Hamada and Apple Miyuki are jumped by MsChif and Sara Del Ray. Once again the mysterious blonde woman,wearing a shirt that says "Not Michelle McCool", comes out to save the day, and chases off the SHIMMER member (27...yeesh)
Sid vs. Vader
Vader and Sid have a fast paced brutal brawl, showing once again that Vader knows Sid's weaknesses. However, this proves to be irrelevent, as Daffney and Lord Humongous show up with an ambulance and run into Vader, allowing Sid to pick up the pieces for a big win. (65)
The Asylum then grabs Paul Bearer and yells at him incoherently to end the show (57)

- I finally got my mod back and figured out how to license everything so Sid RULES TWO is BACK baby.
- I unfortunately, even as a cult rated show, cant get even the crappiest ippv deal because my popularity is so localized. Between that and my failure to get more than an hour of TV time, my only option appears to be more non-canon house shows to try and raise interest in the show in other regions. This is gonna suck.
- That said, Im booking Sid, so its all good.
- I am in december and I believe Tom just hit April? I was so close to catching up before I swear.

My diary's in early March 2012, having started in Oct. '11, which means we're gearing up for WRESTLEMANIA! :O
CURRENT CHAMPIONS
WWE: CM Punk Thanks in part to some shady assistance from new recruit Andy Leavine, the leader of the nWo claimed the belt from Del Rio in the Elimination Chamber. He'll be defending against Daniel Bryan, who stuck to his word about using MitB for Wrestlemania!
US: Heath Slater Slater won the title from Dolph Ziggler in a triple threat on Raw that also featured his perennial rival, Justin Gabriel. The slow-burning feud will finally erupt into a one-on-one title match at Wrestlemania, but in the meantime, Slater's adopted realverse Bryan's YES gimmick.
Raw GM and CoO: Triple H Despite an attempted coup from Laurinitis, HHH has maintained control of the company. He's got his hands full running Raw, though- Cena's doing his best to start a brand war, and Punk and the nWo are subverting HHH's authority at every turn!
-
WHC: Sheamus Sheamus finally ended the reign of Mark Henry at the Royal Rumble, and will be re-igniting his old feud with Rumble winner Christian. Sheamus has foiled Christian and his lackey Brodus Clay on multiple occasions, but will ONE MORE MATCH give us a different outcome?
IC: Cody Rhodes Cody is doing his darnedest to bring legitimacy and prestige back to the IC title, which he is close to having for a record amount of time. He is currently without a challenger for WM, but if the past is any indicator, he'll be happy to pick a fight just to get the belt some exposure.
SD GM: The Rock Rock has been brought back full time, and HHH has delegated control of the blue brand to him. Rock's done a solid job so far, despite his personal issues with Cena getting in the way.
-
Tag Team Titles: The Hart Dynasty The tag division has really heated up of late, and the Harts have been on fire, recently taking the belts off Nash and X-Pac.
Divas' Title: Beth Phoenix Beth is looking virtually unstoppable, especially when Natalya is around for backup.
NXT GM: Vince McMahon Because I needed somebody to do it and he's not doing much these days.
-
OTHER ANGLES
nWo: Punk has brought back the nWo and filled it out with Nash, X-Pac, Masters, Serena, and most recently Leavine. They're running rampant and spreading anarchy and unrest on Raw!
ONCE IN A LIFETIME: Cena and Rock's yearlong feud is reaching a boiling point, or at least a simmer. Cena's re-united Cryme Tyme to use as his pawns, and seems to be trying to wreck Smackdown to get in the Great One's head.
MONEY IN THE BANK: It's coming back for this Wrestlemania as a single-brand affair. So far the only confirmed entrants are Masters and Chavo.
WAR CAN SUCK IT: Andy Leavine seems to have some sort of beef with Chris Jericho, and veterans in general. Jericho didn't so much care until Leavine forced himself into the Elimination Chamber with the sole extent of spoiling Jericho's chances and selling out to the nWo to aid Punk.
Not Yo' Momma's Yoga: DDP has come back to spread the magic of DDPYOGA. He's taken Khali under his wing as his first disciple.
--
~Tommeri Uranius Bombaldi the Fourth, esq. If you can read this, I'm probably posting from my phone or something!
Colt Cabana w/Big Show: Colt's original Pro was CM Punk, who turned on him when he turned down an offer to join the nWo. Cabana's arguably better off with a fellow entertainer in Show.
Seth Rollins w/Randy Orton: Rollins was originally with Show, but friction quickly developed when Rollins' no-frills approach clashed with Show's goofiness. Orton has taken quite a shine to the youngster, and they've earned tag title opportunities in the past.
"Clean Cut" Sonjay Dutt w/La Parka: Dutt and Parka get along quite well, despite Parka's love of chairshots and Dutt's love of adamantly following the rules.
Eddie Edwards w/Mordecai: It's apparent to everybody except Edwards that he is above Mordecai's instruction. On his own, Edwards' indy background shines, but he is freakishly devoted to Mordecai's preaching and the WWE style.
Cap'n Petey Williams w/Heath Slater: He's a heel jobber pirate. Yup.
Shawn Daivari w/Wade Barrett: One of the most accomplished pairings on this season. Their threat is amplified by Barrett's determination to stop at nothing to get them the prestige and wins he feels they deserve.

we can now stop pretending anybody else is going to randomly wander in
WWE NXT 3/1/12
Pre-show: Gail/SDR d. Bellas (51); Slater taunts Smith (67); Vince announces the MitB Qualifier (50)
-MitB Qualifier Ladder: Parka/Dutt v. Edwards/Mordecai As with most such matches, it’s the team competing for the Rookie to get a spot. Dutt dives onto the heels, allowing Parka to claim the contract! Rating: 52
-Parka and Dutt are mid-celebration when Barrett and Daivari come out and insult them! It’s a laughable match, because Daivari deserved this opportunity over either of those Rookies! Rating: 55
-Match: Kidd v. Williams Cap’n Petey puts up a good match for once, but not enough to stop one half of the tag champs. Rating: 71
-Slater and Williams are doing the YES bit in the ring, and Orton’s had enough! He RKO’s them both! Rating: 74
-Match: Show/Cabana v. Cryme Tyme Cabana’s a bit out of his league here, but manages a ROLLUP to win! Rating: 62
-Cryme Tyme are incensed at the loss, and attack Colt until Show drives them away. Rating: 64
Post-show: Yoshi/Estrada promo (56); Yoshi d. Estrada (50)
Overall: 62 Dutt overused, Colt slightly overused
FROM THE BOOKERMAN
-....what possessed me to put Cryme Tyme in the ME over Kidd
-Slater and Rollins with good chem...I feel like that could be a fun feud a few months down the line.
-DUTT PUSH IS GO
NEWSWIRE
-Impact scored a stellar 82, thanks in no small part to Angle and Sting tearing down the house for the title. Devon and Pope went over Styles and Daniels in an excellent midcard match, as well.
-I guess TNA has dropped Xplosion
-Next wave of retirements: Duggan, Pat Tanaka, Demolition Smash
WWE SMACKDOWN 3/1/12
Pre-show: Divas of Doom promo (76); Haas/Dibiase d. Khali/Whitmer (60, Khali/DDP awful chem); Show/Colt and Barrett/Daivari squabble over the upcoming match (61)
-THE ROCK SAYS that he is looking forward to his usual boot/ass shenanigans with Cena because the Rock is ready to be done with this jabroni! Anyway, we have MITB QUALIFIERS tonight! Who will join Chavo, Masters, and Dutt? Rating: 88
-MitB Qualifier: Show v. Barrett Pretty ugly match. Barrett gets a mercifully quick win. Rating: 69
-Match: Ryder v. Clay Pretty even match, but when Sheamus comes to ringside to hang out, the resultant distraction gives Ryder the win. Rating: 62
-Sheamus says that his win over Christian is a foregone conclusion! Christian is nothing but a coward who lucked into his Rumble win, and Sheamus has beaten him t'ree times recently! He's not afraid of Christian, and looks forward to continuing to be champion after Mania. Rating: 83
-#1 Contender: Gail v. Layla v. Rosa v. Natalya Unsurprisingly, Gail gets the win. Rating: 67
-Carlito says this is his big chance, and that DDP isn't cool. DDP comes out and pitches his yoga, and Carlito says that's not cool either. What is cool is Carlito winning Money in the Bank! Rating: 68
-MitB Qualifier: DDP v. Carlito Geesh. DIAMOND CUTTER OUT OF NOWHERE for the win. Rating: 57
--
~Tommeri Uranius Bombaldi the Fourth, esq. If you can read this, I'm probably posting from my phone or something!
-Match: Cara v. Henry An unusually serviceable match from these two. Cara is a couple of flippy doos short. Rating: 78
-Henry says that tonight is his first step on the road to reclaiming his title. Orton interrupts and says Henry had his chance at EC and needs to get in the back of the line. Orton didn't even get into the Chamber! Rating: 85
-MitB Qualifier Ladder: Yoshi v. Zeke v. Mordecai v. Young v. Hunico v. Husky The less said, the better. Yoshi gets the win after bumping Young off the ladder. Rating: 50
-Chavo is very excited, because he already knows what he's doing at WM, and when he wins MitB, it will finally be his time to shine! For tonight, though, he gets a chance to make a statement alongside his buddy, IC Champ Cody Rhodes. Rating: 81
-Non-title: Harts v. Chavo and Cody They do indeed make a statement. Neither team is willing to give up the win, and in fact the finish comes when Chavo hits a suicide dive, taking himself and both Harts out long enough for the match to be ruled a double countout. Rating: 74
-Match: Sheamus/Bryan v. Awesome Truth The champ and Mr. MitB have their opponents on the ropes, but the ref bumps, and Christian runs in to destroy Sheamus with a chair! Bryan's not quite up to dealing with the double team, and Awesome Truth get the win. Rating: 86 Poor psychology
-Awesome Truth and Laurinitis have an idea. Taker has no opponent for Wrestlemania! Awesome Truth think they can take him, if he's man enough to roll with both of them at once! Taker 'ports in to blow them both off and leave. Rating: 95
Post-show: Orton talks Taker into a tag match (83); Taker/Orton d. Awesome Truth (75)
Overall: 78 FAILURE lol angles
FROM THE BOOKERMAN
-Man, what was up with those undercard ratings? I expected the ladder match to suck, but the rest of those....geesh. And then Cara/Henry randomly does quite well. I expected a lot more out of the Harts/Chavo/Cody, too.
-man that Daniel Bryan fella is just so green he needs to learn some storytelling
-Wow, Truth only has a 71 in Psych. That could explain things, although I thought it was possible for one good psych score to carry something like that.
-I hate when TV networks and stuff take so long to get back to you that they miss the deadline. *sends request mid-month* *two and a half weeks later* "yeah we only negotiate in february you noob"
-My franchise players list is all heels again
NEWSWIRE
-Dusty Rhodes, Dory Funk Jr., and Jimmy Hart have all retired. Dusty's retirement means that FCW is now on the hunt for a new booker! I hope they get somebody who stops putting the belt on people like Mahal and Leavine.
-NWA got a fairly dismal 36. Watts/Scarceti in the ME was seen as a disappointment.
-No such luck with FCW, as Mahal retaining over Barreta led the way to a lackluster 43. The show also featured the debut of Kenneth Cameron and Leo Kruger as Team Chance.
-FCW's other show did even worse at 40. Mahal/Barreta had a slightly improved rematch, but the diva-centric undercard was pretty weak.
-Who will take up the book and bring FCW out of the slump? TULLY BLANCHARD.
-RoH "only" managed a 73 this week, despite a decent double main event of Yang/Strong and Lethal/Rhino for the TV title.
-Daniels is going to tour with NJPW.
-Homicide blew his ear drum in a match with one of the Maximos in ICW.
-Gargano and Kizarny have teamed up as the Demolition Crew, defeating the Spectral Envoy for the vacant Campeonatos de Parejas titles in their debut outing.

Rough show for just about everybody, although NXT helped several people. Lots of tossup matches. CPU holds onto his lead as Football recedes into the pack, but War surges into second. Things are starting to open up a bit, but there's still a lot of ground to cover.
I never revealed the prize for this leg, did I? You get to pick three people who will jump brands in the post-mania draft! I have two people I am already planning on drafting, so if you pick either of them, I'll let you know and you can pick somebody else.

-- Boko United - Geriatric Titanium Mustache Guru Taken Miraculously by SuperNiceDog
Pre-show: Riley/Ryan attempt to work up the crowd (59); Dreamer d. Raven in a hardcore match (48); Serena runs over Morrison backstage and they have words (67)
-Punk is out to start the show, and he's got a bone to pick with this whole Daniel Bryan thing. He points out that Bryan is a SD wrestler, and the contract is only good to challenge for the SD belt. HHH comes out to acknowledge Punk's point, but says he's allowing it anyway because Punk and the nWo piss him off. Punk complains, but HHH pulls rank, suggesting that maybe Punk shouldn't have gone out of his way to be a thorn in the company's side the last few months! Also Punk and Bryan will both be in action tonight...and HHH is thinking about keeping the rust off, himself! Rating: 88
-Match: Air Boom v. Cryme Tyme Cryme Tyme are getting something remotely resembling a push, and therefore eke out a win. Rating: 66
-Cena comes out to put over his boys and their war with Rock. Rock interrupts LIVE VIA SATELLITE to mention he's glad Cena's given up on the Smackdown thing, as the Rock's show has nothing to do with this. Cena corrects that he's still on a crusade against Smackdown, and the Rock's happy to hear that too, because he had a couple of friends come over to "talk." Rating: 82
-WELLLLLLLLL! Show and Ryder step out from behind the curtain and rush the ring! Cena looks ready for a fight, but when they easily dispatch his tired lackeys, he decides to escape and fight another day. Mic still in hand as he escapes up the ramp, he complains about Rock sending others to do his dirty work...until he backs into Rock on the stage! Cena gets a Rock Bottom, and the closest approximation of a People's Elbow Rock can pull off from a rope-less stage. Rating: 76
-Match: Otungacutty v. Del Rio/Estrada The heels seem focused, and capture another big win. Rating: 81
-Del Rio is still pretty upset that he had to defend his title in an Elimination chamber, and still considers it his. However, he's started to realize his new destiny....going after the tag belts! They've gelled well as a team, so Hart Dynasty BETTER WATCH OUT. Rating: 83
-Match: Morrison/Dutt/Parka v. Masters/Nash/X-Pac Kinda-sorta a MitB preview! Masters and friends are mainly focused on working over Dutt, but ignoring Morrison and Parka is a dangerous plan. Morrison takes out just about everybody with a suicide plancha, and then Parka steals Masters' chair and the win. Rating: 71
-Match: Hurritino v. ZigSwag Straightforward win for the heels. Rating: 58
-Match: HHH v. Sheffield Mr. CoO is attempting to get back into ring shape for some reason, ignoring the fact that he wrestles almost every week, whether or not it's televised. Anyway he actually gets a good win here. Rating: 85 Poor selling
-Match: Trish/Melissa/Kelly v. Beth/Bellas Beth almost solos this. Rating: 69
-Jericho is still mad at Leavine for not only being full of himself, but for squandering his EC opportunity to become a sidekick. Leavine comes out to point at the WM sign, and then just says "Watch." Rating: 81
-Match: Kane v. Leavine Not even Kane can salvage this match. Leavine rolls out every heel trick in the book and manages to somehow piece together a win as a result. Rating: 71
-Kane is back up in the ring, but here come AWESOME TRUTH! They attack Kane in the ring, getting the upper hand and taunting Undertaker as they deliver a beatdown. Rating: 89
-Match: Bryan/Gabriel v. Punk/Slater The vanilla midgets put on a grand show. The challengers win the day today! Rating: 91
-It's not over, though, as Punk and Bryan brawl into the stands and backstage to close the show. Rating: 85
Post-show: Gabriel rips off the "YES" bit and Slater gets pissed (67); Jericho/Primo d. Cena/Drew (61)
Overall: 79 lol angles
FROM THE BOOKERMAN
-I don't know why I'm surprised that HHH pulled an 85 with an upper midcarder, but for some reason I am.
-....Just when I thought Leavine was getting watchable, Kane can't carry him to the mid-70's. Ah well, at least he's decent fodder now.
-Fairly impressed by Slater and Gabriel stepping up in the ME. Part of me wanted an even better rating there, but part of me is pleasantly surprised that they could keep up. We'll be seeing more of them in the uppercard, I think.
Harder card than expected. Almost everybody went with the nWo understandably, and the ME was a tossup. Nobody got the bonus, either....Harts were a logical choice but we JUST had them feuding with Cryme Tyme. eddv takes a big tumble as the battle for first starts to heat up.

-Match: Bourne v. Williams Williams isn’t entirely lost out there, but he can’t handle Bourne, either. Rating: 61
-Barrett and Daivari cut a promo saying that Daivari should’ve been the one to get the MitB opportunity instead of Dutt! Dutt and Parka object to that, but we’ll see. Rating: 46

-Darren Young thinks this season of NXT is STUPID and he or any of his season 1 buddies could beat ANY OF THESE PUNKS and if he can’t then he QUITS. Colt Cabana of all people takes him up on the challenge. Rating: 56

-Match: Dutt v. Barrett Dutt fights well, but secretly Barrett is a bit more credible as a Pro than Parka. Rating: 67
-Barrett keeps up the assault after the bell’s rung, and Daivari runs in to help out! Parka makes the save with a chair, but not before Dutt’s been seriously hurt. Rating: 50

FROM THE BOOKERMAN
-HOLY CRAP I ACTUALLY LET SOMEBODY GO. I just didn’t see the upside to Young. He’s pretty mediocre, getting too old to improve a whole lot over time, not buddies with anybody, and taking up undercard space I very much don’t have.
-La Parka push is go?
-I am getting tired of this show. >_> Realizing it was never gonna air in the US and get my guys over kinda tanked my interest. It might revert to superstars after this season, because I am up to my ears in talented young jobbers anyway.

-Laurinitis is starting the show by calling out Taker. He asks Taker to reconsider his decision about Wrestlemania, and insinuates Taker is afraid of putting his streak on the line in a handicap match. Taker comes out to stare at Laurinitis, but remains stoic. Laurinitis shows the clip of the attack on Kane, and asks if that makes Taker mad. Taker doesn’t respond. Rating: 69
-Laurinitis has one more thing up his sleeve, and the tron shows a bedraggled Teddy backstage! Awesome Truth are beating him down! Taker starts to stir a bit, but still doesn’t seem like he’s going to give in. Laurinitis heaps insult upon insult onto Taker, again calling him a coward who knows he’d lose to these two upstarts. Taker finally snaps, and Tombstones Laurinitis into the ground! Rating: 82

-Match: Gail v. Natalya #1 Contender lookin’ good as she gets the win. Rating: 71 Great chemistry
-Henry’s still pretty mad at Orton. He says he’s the previous champ, and he’s entitled to an opportunity without all the stupid Chamber stuff. Orton shows up and says that kind of mentality is why Henry’s stuck in the midcard, and Orton’s in the main event. Henry’s five minutes of fame are over. Rating: 88
-Match: Zeke v. Henry Henry is INFURIATED by such comments, and takes it out on Zeke. Rating: 69
-Match: Ryder v. Carlito Pretty solid match, but CENA and CRYME TYME run in and take out Ryder, causing a DQ. They smack Carlito around a bit as well. Rating: 72
-Cena attempts to drop a PIPEBOMB on Smackdown, but Rock cuts him off. The Rock knew this was going to happen, just like everybody knows everything Cena’s boring candyass does, so he came prepared tonight! Cena and Cryme Tyme will face Show and the Hart Dynasty! Rating: 91
-Match: Khali/Whitmer v. Haas/Dibiase The YOGA continues to pay off for Khali in the form of a win. Rating: 50
-Match: Cena/Cryme Tyme v. Show/Harts Tough match, but Cena pulls it out in the end. Rating: 81
-Christian KNOWS he can beat Sheamus this time. There will be no stopping him. He just needs one more match, and he needs the title. He can do it. Rating: 88
-Match: Sheamus/Orton v. Christian/Brodus Christian may need this, but that doesn’t mean he can do it. He comes up just a bit short once more. Rating: 86
-...but he CAN jump Sheamus after the match! Christian and Brodus lay a frenzied beating on the champ once Orton wanders off. Rating: 80
Post-show: Awesome Truth promo (96); Rock/Taker d. Truth/Miz (72)
Overall: 80 lol angles
FROM THE BOOKERMAN
-....man, 80 isn’t a success? That’s rough.
-Teddy wasn’t cutting it, and to an extent neither was Laurinitis. I’m not sure what they’re doing after this, but they will probably be offscreen until at least Mania. I didn’t really want manager shenanigans in the streak match, anyway.
-Ryder/Carlito went better than expected! Was hoping for better from the MitB tag, but not that surprised, either.

Easy show was apparently easy. That was a YES on Taker accepting, in case it wasn't clear. I am saddened by how many people think I'd cut Mordecai, even if it would make a bit of sense. ;_; Football ties the lead back up, but the real story is eddv ROCKETING into third.
