Did you find Jesus?
Also, throw in Jakked/Metal. It will come in handy putting in unused WWF superstars.

This is going to be awesome, duan. I'm really interested to see how you build up WM X7 and if you can make it as good as it was! Good luck, sir.

I'd love to see Raven get used better, to how he was in reality.

I expect big things here. Considering the roster is amazingly deep, I think you'll have no problem booking some good stuff.
good luck!

DARK MATCH: Big Bossman def. Crash Holly with a Bossman Slam (4:43)
WWF Monday Night Raw
January 1st, 2001
Arena in San Jose, CA
HAPPY NEW YEAR: The usual World Wrestling Federation logo appears then we go directly into the Monday Night Raw opening video package. The crowd is going wild in the sold out arena in San Jose, as Raw kicks off the new year with a bang! Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler welcome the folks at home watching on TNN and run down the card for the night, which includes a WWF Championship match between the champion Kurt Angle and the man who rightfully won a shot on Thursday's edition of Smackdown, Stone Cold Steve Austin! Also to come tonight; The Rock meets Kane, six man tag action featuring Chris Jericho & the WWF Intercontinental Champion Chris Benoit and a WWF Hardcore title bout! But first, we kick off Raw and the new year like the WWF does, with a huge BANG!
CAGE IS LOOMING: Ross explains to the fans at home that we will start the new year with a steel cage match between Billy Gunn & Val Venis. Val Venis & the Right to Censor have been out to get Gunn since his tactics are usually not 'standard' according to RTC leader Steven Richards. This cage match may be the breaking point between Gunn and the Right to Censor. The steel cage has been lowered and we are ready to kick off the action!
STEEL CAGE MATCH; BILLY GUNN VS. VAL VENIS: This one wasn't for the weak at heart as these two started fast. Venis didn't come down to the ring with any of his fellow Right to Censor members and that may have cost him dearly. Gunn was in no mood for playing tonight and used the cage as a weapon multiple times. Venis eventually caught up to the match and regained advantage, but it was no match for a Fame-asser from Gunn. Billy then climbed the cage and gave Venis a 'suck-it' sign from the top before climbing down for the victory. BILLY GUNN DEF. VAL VENIS BY ESCAPING THE CAGE (9:26)
RIGHT TO SUCK IT: Billy Gunn taunted Venis from the outside of the cage and celebrated with the crowd as Jim Ross hypes that we will hear from WWF Champion Kurt Angle after the break!
AN UNDERSTANDING: When returning from commercial, the camera is in the locker room of Chris Jericho. Jericho seems to be getting prepared for his six man tag match when his partners for the night, the Hardy Boyz, who are accompanied by Lita, walk into the picture. Jericho shakes hands with both and the Hardys tell him that they will cut to the chase and they know the history between Jericho & Benoit. They agree to have Jericho's back until Benoit & the Radicalz get off his tail. Jericho thanks both men and gets back to getting dressed for later on.
WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED: Some highlights featuring how Steve Austin got the WWF Championship match tonight are shown as Jim Ross explains to the crowd at home. Austin defeated both Undertaker & Kane in a triple threat match last Thursday on Smackdown and the second referee in the match, Vince McMahon, reluctantly counted the three count that gave Austin the shot. Ross then sent it to Michael Cole backstage, who was standing by with the WWF Champion, Kurt Angle!
OLYMPIC WORDS: Before Cole could get a word in, Angle stole the microphone away from him. He told the fans that the fact that he has to defend his championship mere weeks away from the Royal Rumble is preposterous! But, Angle adds that he never backs down from a challenge and he just has to show Austin the three I's of wrestling tonight in San Jose! Cole then sends things back to ringside after Angle leaves the interview area muttering to himself.
TAG TEAM MATCH: ALBERT (W/TRISH STRATUS) & WWF EUROPEAN CHAMPION WILLIAM REGAL VS. TEST & STEVE BLACKMAN A tag match that has a lot between the competitors as the European Champion, William Regal, and Test have been at each others throats for weeks. Test, who is looking to gain some revenge on Regal for attacks, teams up with the Lethal Weapon to face off against Regal and his former tag team partner. Wasn't a terribly long match, but it had the crowd going. The end saw Regal and Test in the ring together. After Regal ducked out of the way of a big boot, he rolled Test up and used the tights to make sure he secured the victory over the big man. WILLIAM REGAL & ALBERT DEF. TEST & STEVE BLACKMAN FROM A ROLL-UP WITH TIGHTS BY REGAL ON TEST (5:36)
THIS HYPE VIDEO REEKS OF AWESOMENESS: A little promo video that put over the WWF Tag Team Champions, Edge & Christian aired. After the video finished, Edge & Christian were shown in their locker room watching said video. Both seem pretty satisfied with how they were portrayed with this video.
HARDCORE SOUL: The camera quickly cuts to pre-taped words from the WWF Hardcore Champion, Raven. Raven is sitting in the corner of his locker room with the lights off and the championship lying on his waist. He talks about how his match with Hardcore Holly won't come close to the encounters he has faced in his life. His tortured soul will come out in this match tonight and Holly better be ready to feel the power of the Raven.
SINGLES MATCH; THE ROCK VS. KANE: An epic encounter and so early on the show, but the WWF is giving away a free pay-per-view quality match. You expect nothing less than stellar quality from these two and that's what they delivered to the fans. Kane spent a good part of the match wearing the Rock down and making sure he would stay down. As usual, the Rock wouldn't go down without a fight and worked his way back to the top. He delivered a huge spinebuster and seemed to be setting the Big Red Machine up for the People's Elbow when Rikishi walked down to the ringside area to distract the Rock. Rock stopped what he was doing and stared him down, allowing Kane to get to his feet and deliver a chokeslam to gain the victory. KANE DEF. THE ROCK WITH A CHOKESLAM (7:33)
ADDING INSULT: Kane delivered his pyro and walked to the back as Rikishi stalked his prey in the ring. Rikishi picked the Rock up and delivered the Rikishi Driver and then a Superkick for good measure. Rikishi seems to have a vendetta out on the Rock and this isn't shaping up too well for the People's Champ.
RUMBLE HISTORY: A hype video showcasing the history of the historic Royal Rumble Match aired. The 2001 Royal Rumble is live on pay-per-view in less than a month!
FIRST ROYAL COMPETITOR: Following the Rumble video, we go back to ringside where Vince McMahon is standing in the ring and the crowd is giving him the business. McMahon tells the crowd to quiet down as he has a big announcement regarding the Royal Rumble. He announces that Rumble qualifying matches will start this Thursday on Smackdown! He is also proud to announce that the first competitor announced to compete in the Royal Rumble will be the returning BIG SHOW! The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Vince wishes Steve Austin luck in his WWF Championship match later tonight. As of now, Austin has still not arrived in the arena.
WWF HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP SINGLES MATCH; RAVEN (C) VS. HARDCORE HOLLY Well, this match certainly did bring Holly to hell and back, as Raven pulled out the stops tonight...literally. He used a stop sign multiple times in the match by hitting Holly over the head with it. Holly brought an great deal of weapons to the ring as well, including a 2x4, a family photo in a large picture frame and even bug spray, which he used on him eventually. Raven finished the deed and retained the championship after he delivered an Evenflow DDT onto the Stop Sign and covered Holly for the win. RAVEN DEF. HARDCORE HOLLY WITH AN EVENFLOW DDT ON A STOP SIGN; RAVEN RETAINS THE WWF HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP. (6:35)
A RIGHTFUL CHALLENGE: The members of Right to Censor as backstage in the interview area as Stevie Richards is at the helm. Val Venis is being tended to by his fellow members as Richards yells that Gunn has taken this fight too far. He challenges Gunn to bring a partner to Smackdown this Thursday to face himself and The Goodfather! Richards ends the promo by saying that sooner or later, they will censor Billy Gunn, whether he likes it or not!
SIX MAN UP NEXT!: The camera shows the WWF Intercontinental Champion Chris Benoit discussing last minute match tactics with his partners, Perry Saturn and WWF Light Heavyweight Champion Dean Malenko as they walk to the ring. This explosive six man tag match is NEXT!
SIX MAN TAG MATCH; CHRIS JERICHO, MATT HARDY, & JEFF HARDY (W/LITA) VS. WWF INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION CHRIS BENOIT, PERRY SATURN, & WWF LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DEAN MALENKO Definitely what the crowd was expecting and these six men really got at each other tonight. Jericho & Benoit have plenty of history between themselves and this match just added fuel to the fire. The Hardys took turns in the ring really and Jericho & Benoit didn't find themselves in the ring together until the end of the match. Saturn & Malenko ended up brawling on the outside with the Hardy Boys and that left Jericho and Benoit alone in the ring. Jericho got the best of Benoit as he was able to nail a takedown from behind and lock Benoit in the Walls of Jericho. Benoit had no chance but to submit as his partners were too preoccupied to save him. CHRIS JERICHO, MATT HARDY, & JEFF HARDY DEF. CHRIS BENOIT, PERRY SATURN, & DEAN MALENKO AFTER BENOIT SUBMITTED TO THE WALLS OF JERICHO (7:55)
WALLS OF CELEBRATION: Happy with themselves and the victory, the Hardys and Jericho celebrated on the ramp as Benoit was tended to by his teammates. This war is clearly far from over between Jericho & Benoit!
THE PEOPLE'S CHALLENGE: Before leaving the arena, Michael Cole caught up with the Rock in the parking lot. The Rock tells Cole and the fans that the steaming pile of monkey crap that Rikishi is will get what he has coming to him at the Royal Rumble, as Vince McMahon just made the match official! Cole then re-assures what the Rock just said and announces that the Rock will face Rikishi in singles action in less than a month!
MAIN EVENT; WWF CHAMPIONSHIP SINGLES MATCH; KURT ANGLE (C) VS. STEVE AUSTIN Finally, Steve Austin showed up to the arena just in time and was ready to go automatically as he traded shots with the champion to start things off. As the match went on, Angle used mat techniques to keep Austin grounded and from moving around so he couldn't gain any kind of momentum, until the crowd got him going again. Austin seemed to really be heating up and even nailed the Lou Thesz Press and was jaw-jacking as he prepared to deliver a Stunner. But, before he could, Triple H came running down to the ring and attacked Austin with a Sledgehammer. Triple H didn't stop at Austin as he nailed Angle in the gut as well. The referee through the match out on double disqualification. KURT ANGLE AND STEVE AUSTIN FOUGHT TO A DRAW DUE TO INTERFERENCE. KURT ANGLE RETAINS THE WWF CHAMPIONSHIP (11:31)
A GLITCH: Triple H gave each man a pedigree for good measure and stood tall as he just took out both champion and challenger. What does this make of the WWF Championship situation and the Royal Rumble situation?! Raw comes to a close as Triple H poses over the fallen superstars. |

-Gunn has more relevance than Venis so him winning was the better call. An amazing start to the show.
-Regal and Albert going over was fine. Like I said, my experience on old diaries is pretty bad.
-Kane going over Rocky is the best way to go. I hope that Kane goes over here.
-Looking forward to Show's return. Raven retaining the gold is good.
-Please, please push Jericho in this diary. A nice win for him in this 6 Man Tag Match.
-A great main event. I'm looking forward to who he faces Angle for the WWF Title at Royal Rumble. But I'm predicting it's HHH now.
-Good show.

WRESTLE REPORT
The #1 source for all your wrestling news!
Last night, the wrestling world kicked off another year with a boom as WWF, WCW, and CZW all held events for their respective companies last night. The weekly ratings war continued as Raw slaughtered Nitro yet again and it seems like the year will be the last for World Championship Wrestling. WWF's Monday Night Raw scored over 2 million more viewers than WCW's Nitro and the downfall continues for WCW. Raw featured 2 championship matches, one being the WWF Championship, but no title changes. A seemingly ordinary edition of Nitro was put out on this new year.
This morning, World Championship Wrestling responded with a huge move by dumping over 40 contracts in order to salvage the company. The names that follow are the superstars that were released or fired from the company; Ron Harris, MI Smooth, Don Harris, Jamie Knoble, Yang, Reno, Paisley, Scott Norton, Kwee-Wee, Shannon Moore, Big Vito, Sergeant A-WALL, Crowbar, Chris Candido, AJ Styles, Mark Jindrak, Evan Karagias, Corporal Cajun, Johnny the Bull, Chris Kanyon, Sean O'Haire, Jim Duggan, Shawn Stasiak, Meng, Air Pairs, Major Stash, Wayne DeBruce, Kaz Hayashi, Alex Wright, Bryan Clarke, Terry Funk, David Finlay, Larry Zbysko, Gene Okerlund, Johnny Ace, Kevin Sullivan, Tony Schiavone, Bam Bam Bigelow, Brian Knobs, Miss Elizabeth, Stevie Ray, Midjah, Tammy Sytch, Leia Meow, Tygress and Daffney.
We can also confirmed that Road Dogg has been let go from the World Wrestling Federation, as announced on their website yesterday. Apparently, Road Dogg has been suffering from substance abuse and while friends in the company didn't want to see him go, everyone thought it was time since Road Dogg has refused to go to rehab, which the WWF offered to pay for. Friends Billy Gunn and Triple H will be keeping in touch supposedly.

Hopefully a lot of those guys get signed like Chavo, Styles, Moore, Hayashi, Jindrak, etc. It just seems to nice that so many good names were released at once. Maybe this means WCW wont crash and burn. That's good news for WWF as it keeps up some competition. |

WWF RAW is WAR: Monday 1st January 2001...The Big Bossman beating Crash Holly...I really hope that we can expect more out of Holly. As for Bossman, I don't know how else you could expand his career if I'm honest. I'm not a fan however of that opening contest. In the new year, I believe that a promo would have really helped. Not a lower midcard feud involving the quickly expiring Right to Censor and the past-his-prime Billy Gunn. Nice try and a decent steel cage match stipulation, but opening contest it did very little. I'm looking forward to this six-man tag team action later tonight. Good little backstory, I see you made the end of 2000 original too; Stone Cold wouldn't beat Kane and Undertaker until this week on SmackDown!; good choice for the New Year edition of RAW with the WWF Championship on the line. Kurt Angle should have had an in-ring promo rather than an interview I feel. Angle seemed too serious in this, he played the more comical likeable heel in this time. We need some main event in-ring promos, so far it's been a lacklustre beginning to 2001. William Regal and Albert facing Test and Steve Blackman would have gotten us somewhere, but it's not a massive upgrade from the opening contest storyline. Regal rolling up Test is fine but I feel more emphasis on the T&A split should have been shown. A solid opening hour main event with Kane beating The Rock, surprised to see Kane with the win though. The Rock and Rikishi's feud should have ended at either Survivor Series or Armageddon: as much as I like Rikishi, and how much they've built him in this time period, he's not going to get much more out of the Rock feud. Thank goodness for an in-ring promo from Mr McMahon, but it was incredibly generic and I feel Big Show should have remained a surprise rather than announced...four weeks in advance. McMahon giving Austin luck tonight is also baffling. This should have been focused on an actual storyline, rather than straight-forward uncharacteristic interview-appropriate promo. Raven beating Hardcore Holly was a good defense of the WWF Hardcore Championship, hopefully Raven remains a credible champion and gives the title some prestige, if any. I feel the six-man tag team match should have opened the show in this case, honestly. Expected to see the Hardy Boyz and Chris Jericho with the win, good way to set up the Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit feud once again. I don't think Rock and Rikishi should be on pay-per-view. Should have been booked for SmackDown!; it's a TV-worthy match. We had this on pay-per-view at the Survivor Series, that'd do. Triple H still destroying Stone Cold in his WWF Championship opportunity is a great close to RAW is WAR. Overall, it was a pretty weak show. I feel you need to brush up on how things in 2001 actually went, you seemed to just be throwing stuff out there. I like that you're giving it your own twist (some original storylines), but I'm going to say this won't pick my interest until your own storylines come out after the Royal Rumble. Many improvements to make.
Oh, and WCW basically just released everybody the WWF mutilated in the Invasion Angle minus a few obvious top names.

I actually liked the cage match as that feud was actually still quite popular with the fans since Chyna broke her neck and whatnot. I love Kane going over the Rock. I hope you build him up as a beast and wins over the Rock is a great way to start that crap. The six man tag match should’ve opened the show in my opinion. Such a high energy match could take away a little from the Angle/Austin match. Not surprised to see Angle/Austin end up in a draw. As Dan said, this should really pick up once you get your own storylines in place. Good luck, Duan
