Haven't had time to keep on top of the replies how I usually like but have read when I've got the chance.
Still enjoying the Kofi push the next time he faces Sheamus could actually be a PPV Main Event you are pushing both that well.
Scramble matches for all 3 brands is interesting I maybe would have let Bryan defend against Barrett especially after having a four way at SummerSlam. Bryan/Barrett would have come across bigger too then instead of possibly being lost in the crowd on a future PPV.
Tyler Black winning the US title to me just seems like a holding pattern until you put the belt on Rhodes. Swagger losing the title was an afterthought by the end of the night. Christian still needs wins.
Breaking Point is coming along nicely but expect all 4 champs to retain or at least should retain at the minute. Good week of TV.

WWE SummerSlam: Sunday 15th August 2010...If I'm honest, it's been so long since I actively read this diary last and I found it difficult trying to get back into it - hence why I instead decided to keep replying to the WWE 2014 diary. Let's see what we have. The Airbourne Angels? I'm not too fond of the "Angels" being a part of that name, sounds maybe too flamboyant. That consists of Justin Gabriel and Evan Bourne, right? A fair win against the Usos, who were rookies around this time, I think. A strong opening contest to SummerSlam, with Sheamus managing to defeat Edge. It's so interesting to review this, given the year and how much is different to how real life went down. I wonder if you end up going down the route of Edge getting forced into retirement in the near future. Sheamus continues to pick up momentum with consequtive big wins as demonstrated here. I would have maybe opened with the ECW Championship match, though. A solid defense made by Bryan Danielson against John Morrison, Wade Barrett and Ezekiel Jackson - who I would love to see all join the main two rosters very soon. At this point, ECW's existence is slightly unnecessary given the RAW and SmackDown rosters, in my opinion. I think it's slowing down the overall progress of stars like Morrison, Barrett and Danielson in particular. A table spot this early into the show, too. Hmm. Up next, Randy Orton defeating Shelton Benjamin was fine in a decent mid-card Street Fight. Maybe too much gimmick spots so early into the show, I would have paced them throughout the three hours. I also think that this one would have sufficed with more time. Next, a weird tag team match between Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio & Jeff Hardy and Kofi Kingston. Kofi and Jeff is a fun tag team, but not sure about Swagger and Del Rio. I assume that this is the result of combining two feuds with not much space on the SummerSlam card? Not really fond of this match, however. Christian defeating the Miz was fine, another defense of the WWE Championship for Christian. It's strange to see this though, in the year 2014 - with such prestige with the WWE Championship involved. Additionally I'm weirded out by the fact that the WWE Championship isn't in the main event position on the second biggest show of the year. And it went less than fifteen minutes!? Man you are really strict with your match times. AJ Lee is already WWE Divas Championship, huh that's strange to read. Lee with the win against Gail Kim was fine. No doubt that this would have been a solid match if given the time. I'm sure Kurt Angle and CM Punk would have been an awesome match, and Angle winning in his return to a WWE ring makes sense too. I would love to see more of this rivalry. I'm curious as to how he got out of his TNA contract early, though. And finally, Chris Jericho with a win against John Cena was a big, strange conclusion to the show. I expected Cena to win the World Heavyweight Championship here, but nevertheless it's refreshing to see him lose cleanly. I also like that Drew McIntyre is Jericho's protegé. Overall, not a bad show overall - some decisions I wasn't keen on however. The show may have benefitted with one or two excemptions from the card in order to allow matches to ruin longer and be more fluid. Nevertheless, good stuff coming out of this show.

It seems your Breaking Point pay per view is setting up quite nicely with there being not 1, not 2 but 3 championship Scramble Matches with there being a WWE Championship Scramble Match on the Smackdown side of things, a World Heavyweight Championship Scramble on the RAW side of things and an ECW Championship Scramble on the ECW side of things
Then the Submission Match everyone wants to see, the dream match of Angle vs Punk, Ankle Lock vs The Anaconda Vice
But I can definitely see more matches being added to the Breaking Point card, perhaps even the WWE Women's Championship being defended at Breaking Point or even the WWE Tag Team Championships being defended
And then there's Batista's return which I am sure Batista will probably have a match at Breaking Point and if he does then I see him facing the man who put him on the shelf nearly ending his career, that being Batista vs Sheamus but in what type of a stipulation match? Batista vs Sheamus Last Man Standing or a Street Fight or a No Holds Barred Match or a 3 Stages of Hell Match or an I Quit Match, either way I see these 2 going at it
Whereas for The Undertaker I see Taker's return happening either at Breaking Point itself or Taker returning at Hell in a Cell your other October pay per view or at Bragging Rights in November or Taker returning at Survivor Series your other November pay per view but if he doesn't return at any of those then I see him returning at the 2011 Royal Rumble that being the latest he returns
But for the 2011 Royal Rumble Match I hope it is 40 men, instead of 30 considering in 2011 in real life it actually was 40 men in there and with a 40-man Rumble especially here in this diary it just not only adds to the excitement but to the unpredictability too
But as for Triple H, I wonder if he will return? And if he does then Triple H's return I can either see it happening by Survivor Series or by Royal Rumble as well

8/22/2010 Edition- There is talk of the ECW brand shutting down sometime soon. With Wade Barrett's talk of destroying and taking over ECW, it's possible. If it happens, the ECW roster would be free to "sign" with either Raw or Smackdown.
- The Undertaker is expected to make a return to the ring sometime this Fall and he would work until WrestleMania XXVII. Undertaker has not competed since losing to Sheamus at Extreme Rules in May.
- Some people within the WWE want to see Kofi Kingston get a run as World Champion. When he won Money in the Bank, the plan was to always have him lose his cash in to help put over The Best in the World, but fans have really started to rally behind him. His recent crowd reactions have been rivaling the company's top two faces, Jeff Hardy and John Cena, in some cities.
- CM Punk might be turning face in 2011. Despite the Straight Edge Society being a pretty impressive faction, there are some that want to see CM Punk run as a face again after a year as a heel.

- I hope ECW ends as a brand because realistically it is starting to lose its steam as a brand and every ECW superstar would be better off being on RAW or Smackdown anyway
- As for The Undertaker if he is returning in fall, then most likely he will be back by Survivor Series at the latest especially since it is the PPV that it all began for The Undertaker considering he made his debut at Survivor Series 1990 so I can see him returning at Survivor Series 2010 but as for who Taker feuds with is anyone's guess
- So if Kofi Kingston is Mr. Money in the Bank still then I can still see Kofi cashing in his briefcase on Jericho or on whoever the World Heavyweight Champion is, so I can expect his cash-in to happen pretty soon
- And I really do hope CM Punk turns face and he becomes the pipe-bomb throwing disrespecting authority revolutionary Punk and he ends up becoming The Best in the World, I sure hope so

He tried to cash in on Jericho but Del Rio thwarted him, leading to their feud.

Time for some catch-up again. At least this time, it's two shows instead of three.
ECW on Sci-Fi Interesting way to open the show. Instead of focusing on the Championship Scramble Match for the ECW Championship from the start, you focus on one of the brand's minor feuds. I'm digging this Johnny Curtis/Derrick Bateman program and the Abraham Washington Show was a good way to help move that along. I guess Curtis has a new gimmick as being "the sexiest man in ECW." But now, onto the Championship Scramble. Drew McIntyre over Zack Ryder was the right call. I like Ryder but he's just not at that level yet. McIntyre provides a strong threat to ECW Champion Bryan Danielson's reign. Another right call with John Morrison over Paul Burchill. Burchill is in the same boat as Ryder at this point. I'm not saying that he'll never get there, but he needs to be built back up again. Now I enjoy seeing Kaval qualify for the Scramble Match by defeating Chris Masters. He'll certainly make the match more interesting. Interesting backstage segment featuring Courtney and Alex Riley. Nice to see you dragging it out a bit by having Courtney want nothing to do with "The Varsity Villain" at first, but I'm sure we'll see her come around somewhere down the road. Much like with the previous qualifiers, this was another right call. Wade Barrett is easily the top heel in ECW and he deserved to go over Ezekiel Jackson. He gets another opportunity to defeat Danielson. I'm going with either Barrett or Danielson with Morrison being a wild card. But the action after the match really blew me away. The Big Show has returned to ECW! I did not expect that to happen as I figured he would most likely return to SmackDown as Vickie Guerrero's lackey. But this is great as it gives the ECW roster a big name. But more importantly, he's going to align himself with John Cena, Jeff Hardy, Kofi Kingston and Bryan Danielson to take on Best in the World at RAW 900. What a way to end the show. Great job!
Friday Night SmackDown Fun way to open up the show with WWE Champion Christian talking about finally defeating the Miz at SummerSlam to retain his title. But now he's going to have to deal with four challengers at Breaking Point as SmackDown will be hosting its own Championship Scramble Match. Interesting to have Cody Rhodes show up and interrupt Christian. He certainly talks a big game about qualifying for the match, but he has to deal with Shelton Benjamin first. Unfortunately for "The Prince of Pro Wrestling," tonight was not his night. This was the right call as Benjamin certainly provides a bigger threat to Christian. Not to mention, Benjamin came off looking strong even after losing to Randy Orton as SummerSlam. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you've done a tremendous job of building Benjamin up to be a main event guy. Interesting backstage segment with the Miz getting a qualifying match against CM Punk. I figured the Airbourne Angels would win over the Straight Edge Society to become #1 contenders to the Unified WWE Tag Team Champion Dudebusters. That should be a fun match and I wouldn't be surprised if the Angels come out of it as the new tag team champions. Now, we have Miz and Punk duke it out for a spot in the Championship Scramble Match. I figured Miz would win, but I didn't expect Punk to deliberately lose the match via count out. In his post match promo, Punk said it best that he still has issues with Kurt Angle following their SummerSlam encounter. But now they'll face each other again at Breaking Point in a Submission Match. The Anaconda Vice vs. the Ankle Lock. Sweet! Next up, we have Tyler Black defeat Jack Swagger to once again become the United States Champion. I had a feeling Black would finally reclaim the title here. Like I said in previous posts, I expect Black to eventually feud with Rhodes now. I also enjoyed seeing Women's Champion AJ Lee and Gail Kim mixing it up during the match. Looks like Best in the World is losing steam with Swagger and Kim losing their respective championships. Be interesting to see how the faction bounces back. Not surprised to see Orton qualify over Rey Mysterio. Orton came off a huge win at SumemrSlam while Mysterio has been irrelevant in recent memory. Finally, the main event. In this case, a battle royal for the final spot in the Championship Scramble Match. Nice final four with Black, Mysterio, Swagger and Rhodes. Even though he lost in his match against Orton, it seemed like Mysterio might have come out victorious. Unfortunately, Swagger wins this one. Even though he lost the United States Title, the night ended pretty damn good for Swagger as now he has the chance to become WWE Champion as Breaking Point. He's certainly looking strong going in, especially after attacking Christian and laying him out with a Gutwrench Powerbomb to end the show. Another great show! Well done!
I just wanted to comment on some miscellaneous items. RAW 900 is shaping up to be an excellent show. With Batista returning, the Punk/Angle contract signing, Edge and Christian reuniting, three championship matches at this point and the 10-man tag team match, I certainly expect a lot to go down on that evening. Even though I've enjoyed how you've booked ECW in this diary, I can certainly understand the idea of shutting the brand down. It does seem like it would lose steam eventually. With Wade Barrett talking about destroying ECW, it could work out by having him eventually become the final ECW Champion and pretty much kill the brand. That would allow the ECW superstars to go to either RAW or SmackDown and strengthen those rosters. But it's up to you. It will be interesting to see what the Undertaker does once he returns to action now that he's on RAW. I wonder who'll he go after leading up to WrestleMania XXVII. I've enjoyed how you've built up Kofi Kingston. He's certainly done a lot within a year to go from a mid-carder to a main event contender. I expect 2011 to be a big year for him. As for CM Punk, I would be intrigued to see him turn face again. But I would save it for some time after WrestleMania XXVII. He's doing too excellent of job playing a heel right now on SmackDown. But those are thoughts on those subjects. Keep up the great work!

First off, if 2010 WWE had a Pay-Per-View that looked half as good as Breaking Point currently does, I wouldn't have hated that year as much as I do. RAW 900 is also looking more stacked that a lot of Pay-Per-Views as well.
That said, let's talk about SmackDown. Gonna give thoughts as I read. Good promo with Christian and Cody, what really made it fun was that Cody's cockiness failed to pay off in the opening match as Shelton put him away to gain entrance into the Scramble match. Interesting that you're keeping those around, those were fun matches. I wish they still did them now. Miz busts into the office and gets a match with CM Punk for his efforts. Great. Bourne and Gabriel, eh? That's a good tag team on paper. Glad to see them get the win. Not sure that I like the finish for Punk vs. Miz but the post-match ties it all together and makes sense. Angle vs. Punk should be rad. Not wild about the booking to Black/Swagger but it seems the kind of finish that leads to an immediate rematch, as it should. AJ promo, nothing of note really but it seems like she and Gail Kim aren't done with each other. Orton over Rey, good stuff. As noted, RAW 900 looks huge and keeps getting bigger. Swagger wins the battle royal, okay. I guess the finish to that earlier match makes a bit more sense in hindsight. Swagger puts Christian through the table and from that, it seems like he might be on the path to taking the WWE Championship from Christian.
Very well written and well booked show overall. Keep up the good work, bud.
