- Good opening promo from Edge. But I don't expect him to win the Rumble. - Sheamus beating Kofi is meh to me. Just hope Kofi doesn't suddenly drop. - London beating Baretta is the right call there as London is a tag team champ. - Big Show and Jericho, eh? Like that it went to a count out to make Jericho cowardly. - Black and Kim winning is nice. Kim getting the pin made it what it was though. - Edge winning is good, gives him something at the Royal Rumble. - Hardy and Punk winning is nice to see; Orton hitting the RKOs after was nice.
Good Smackdown as usual.

SmackDown, love the opening segment with Edge and the presence of The Undertaker. A good victory for Sheamus, but I hope Kofi Kingston isn't just dropped. Interesting promo from Diva's Champion, Maryse. Glad that Paul London won this one, but I hope to see The Dudebusters in contention soon. A Countout was interesting, and it gave Big Show the victory. Shelton Benjamin with the Open Challenges is good, I don't expect him to lose the title any time soon though. I am glad that Gail Kim and Tyler Black won here, makes sense after Maryse's bragging earlier on. Obvious victory for Edge here, he needs to be in the Rumble. I was surprised to see CM Punk and Jeff Hardy win here actually, I was expecting Orton and Benjamin. A great finish to the show, and the Punt! Is Hardy out now? I look forward to reading the Rumble.

1/08/10 Edition-Eric Bischoff will be leaving the WWE as of today. He is unhappy with his current role as he hasn't been involved in any storylines. Creative has been discussing several candidates to take over the position of Raw General Manager. Candidates include Vince McMahon, John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Shane McMahon, Theodore Long or even Vickie Guerrero. A decision should be made by Monday, in time for Raw. -Expect a push for Carlito on ECW, depending on the outcome of his feud with his brother. WWE doesn't really have big plans for Primo, but they feel that they can finally tap into the potential of Carlito. -The WWE will be bringing up some FCW talent in the near future, most likely after the WWE Draft. Expect most of them to go to ECW to enhance the New Superstar Initiative. -Ezekiel Jackson should be returning in the upcoming months, most likely by the beginning of March. He was injured back at Unforgiven and when he returns, he should vault towards the top of ECW.

January 11th, 2010 Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota Attendance: 18,507
Raw’s opening video package highlights Triple H retaining the WWE Title against MVP in last week’s main event. Following the match, Triple H and Kane beat down on Batista and MVP, leading to tonight’s main event.The opening fireworks shoot off; followed by Michael Cole and Jerry “The King” Lawler welcomes us to another exciting edition of the longest running weekly episodic show in television history. They promote tonight’s huge tag team main event, as well as John Cena going one on one with “The Silver Tongued Pugilist” Elijah Burke. Plus, we will witness an Intercontinental Title match and much more action.“A New Day” hits as Ted Dibiase Jr. comes down to the ring, without his Legacy buddies. He gets on the microphone and starts talking about the last few weeks. He says that he took John Cena to the limit at Armageddon, then qualified for the Royal Rumble and then defeated Cena in the middle of the ring, all in the course of three weeks. He admits that he had a setback against Batista two weeks ago, because nobody can win them all. But last week and tonight, he’s left off the show all of a sudden. He calls it a travesty that Eric Bischoff didn’t book him over the past two weeks, but he has solved that problem. He’s proved what his father always used to say, which is “everybody’s got a price.” Ted announces that he bought out the contract of Eric Bischoff and a new General Manager will soon be placed here on Raw. Until then though, with nobody in charge, it might as well be him so he issues an open challenge. R-Truth’s theme hits as he answers the challenge. Singles Match R-Truth vs. Ted Dibiase Jr. [/b] Much like their Royal Rumble qualifying match, this wasn’t given much time but it was still pretty good. They have some good chemistry together and it showed here. Truth actually made it look like he was going to get the win, but Ted dodged out of the way of the Scissors Kick and connected with Dream Street to end it. Winner: Ted Dibiase Jr. (7:16) **½
Commercial Break.Josh Matthews is shown standing by backstage with Elijah Burke. He asks Burke about facing John Cena tonight in a huge match. Burke says that he feels no pressure tonight and will go out and do what he does best, which is win. When he defeats Cena it will launch his career into the next level and will push him to become the face of Raw. He guarantees that it will happen.Women’s Tag Team Match Katie Lea Burchill & Serena Mancini w/ Layla London vs. Maria Kanellis & Women’s Champion Mickie JamesThis was your basic women’s tag match. It was rather short and mainly featured in ring action between Mancini and James. Katie Lea dominated Maria for the most part when they got in, but they weren’t involved in the finish. Mancini managed to pin James after a roll up and a handful of tights. Winners: Katie Lea Burchill & Serena Mancini (5:29) **After the match, Serena grabbed a microphone. She told James that she’s been on a roll since losing at Armageddon and even pinned her tonight, which puts her in line for a rematch. She says that since we have no GM, it’s up to Mickie to give her the shot at the Royal Rumble, if she’s woman enough to. James looks around and nods her head yes as the crowd cheers.Commercial Break.
Singles Match Elijah Burke vs. John Cena[/b] For a first time ever match, these two showed some very good chemistry. Burke was in control early on, and he really impressed the WWE Universe. Cena, of course, made his usual heroic comeback and nailed his signature moves. He hooked Burke for the FU, but he elbowed his way out of it and tossed Cena into the corner. Burke ran in for the Elijah Express, but Cena moved and hit him with the FU anyway for the win. Winner: John Cena (13:36) ***¼Cole and Lawler put over how great Elijah Burke looked in this contest, and say that he has future star written all over him.Commercial Break.The long haired man who attacked Evan Bourne last week makes his way down the ramp in a button downed shirt and slacks. He enters the ring and gets on the microphone. He introduces himself as Drew McIntyre, Raw’s newest and brightest Superstar. He says that the entire world will one day know his name as he becomes the first Scottish WWE Champion in history. But before he gets to that part of his career, he has to start somewhere. He starts with Evan Bourne. A popular and successful superstar, which is exactly the kind of person McIntyre wants to target on his way to the top. He plans on becoming a mega star without the help of the WWE Universe and he’ll be ruthless on his way there. Drew then goes to the outside and joins the commentary team for the following match. Intercontinental Championship Kaval (c) w/ Paul Bearer vs. Evan BourneBourne seemed distracted by McIntyre on commentary, but that didn’t hurt the match. As usual, these two put on a great showing. Kaval was the aggressor thanks to Bourne being distracted at times. Eventually, Bourne gained the upper hand and hit his signature moves. He climbed to the top for the Airbourne, but McIntyre stood up at the announce table. Bourne looked over and paused, which allowed Kaval to get up. He leapt up kicked Bourne in the head, causing him to hit the mat. He climbed up himself, and nailed the Warrior’s Way to end it. Winner and Still Intercontinental Champion: Kaval (10:03) ***½Drew McIntyre smirked at Bourne’s failure as he left the announce table.Commercial Break.Angela Fong is now backstage standing by with Batista. She asks him about stepping into the ring with Triple H tonight. Batista says that he’s been in there with Triple H plenty of times before and he’s never been afraid because he knows that he’s better than him. He admits that Triple H taught him a lot during their Evolution days, but since then, the student has surpassed the teacher. He promises to prove it once and for all at the Royal Rumble.Singles Match JTG w/ Shad vs. World Tag Team Champion William Regal w/ The British AllianceThis stemmed from last week’s tag match involving The British Alliance and Cryme Tyme, which the Alliance won. Regal carried most of the match, as he is by far the better worker. JTG still managed to hold his own though. In the end, he gained the victory after hitting Da Shout Out [spinning headlock lariat] Winner: JTG (6:11) **½In the ring, Cryme Tyme motioned that the belts will soon be theirs, while the Champions left up the ramp.Commercial Break.
Tag Team Match Batista & MVP vs. Kane & WWE Champion Triple H w/ Paul BearerFor some reason, these guys weren’t as on their game as usual tonight. Things in this contest just didn’t seem to click at times. The crowd was still very into it but the match quality was lower than it should be. The heels did work over MVP for most of the match before he made the tag to Batista. “The Animal” came in on fire and dropped both of his opponents with spine busters. The finish came when Batista dropped Kane with the Batista Bomb and got the win. Winners: Batista & MVP (9:52) **½The winners celebrated in the ring as Kane slowly retreated up the ramp with Paul Bearer. Triple H attempted to attack Batista from behind, but he saw it coming on the titantron and dropped him with another spine buster. He raised the WWE Title in the air to close the show.© WWE 2010 [/center] [/font]

-Good opening promo by DiBiase; look forward to new GM. -DiBiase winning was the right call. -Glad Cena won. But I'd like him to get back into main-event contention. -Kaval retaining was good. Glad the way he retained it. -JTG beating Regal is meh. Would've preferred for Regal to win. -Good main event. Happy the faces won for momentum. I can see Kane vs. MVP at Mania'

Raw, a good opening segment from Ted DiBiase, and his victory over R-Truth was pretty obvious following it. I am pleased to see Katie Lea and Serena take the victory, I see Serena taking the gold soon. Glad that Cena won here as it would have hurt him to lose to Burke, even if he is on a push, but I am definitely glad he looked good in the match, puts him over even after the loss. As expected, the attacker was Drew McIntyre. Good to see KAval with the victory, didn't expect Bourne to win, especially with McIntyre by ringside. JTG with a victory is good, I hope to see Cryme Tyme take the World Tag Team Championships soon, tbh. I was surprised to see Batista and MVP win here, but pleased at the same time. Batista standing tall is great, but I hope Triple H retains at the Royal Rumble. Great Raw as usual.

WWE SmackDown: Friday 8th January 2010...Decent promo to start things off with Edge, basically promoting the Royal Rumble, but to be honest was expecting an interruption or something; the promo just seemed to lack. It was like when Mr Kennedy cut a promo on the Royal Rumble match a few weeks ago on ECW on SyFy; it was a waste of time. And with Edge being a bigger star than Kennedy, I dislike something about that. Sheamus beating Kofi Kingston is best; not a bad decision and I am glad that you are building Sheamus; but the only thing is what about Kofi now? Where will he go from here I wonder. Paul London beating Trent Barreta is acceptable; not that bad a match and hopefully we see The Dudebusters getting built up properly in months to come. They are very potential future WWE Tag Team Champions. Big Show beating Chris Jericho by count out is an acceptable first-hour main event, weird how Jericho cowered away from the fight. Shelton Benjamin's promo was nice, but relly once again forgot the purpose; it wasn't really important enough for the World Heavyweight Champion to show up to. Chris Jericho definitely should have appeared anyway; otherwise, this should have been nothing more than an interview. Gail Kim and Tyler Black are becoming a regular combination whenever you have a mixed tag bout. Them beating Maryse and John Morrison is good; looking forward to the finale of the Best of Seven Series over the WWE United States Championship. Edge beating Brian Kendrick was definitely predictable; but this would have gone well immediately following Edge's show-starting promo if you think about it. Not here; it was an odd decision for Edge to come back out an hour after a useless promo just to have him win a qualifying match for the Rumble. CM Punk and Jeff Hardy beating Randy Orton and Shelton Benjamin is good; again with the promos though; Shelton should have cut his promo before this match. Anyways, decent show but some things were pretty weird for my liking this week.
WWE RAW: Monday 11th January 2010...Decent promo to start things up with Ted Dibiase and The Legacy in the ring; definitely a good set up for an opening challenge which is intriguing. R-Truth is a decent opposition, but best decision for Dibiase to win here. Those two are pretty good in the ring together. Katie Lea Burchill and Serena Mancini beating Maria and Mickie James again sets up for Mickie defending the WWE Womens Championship against Serena; hoping that Serena will win this time. Wow, great first-hour main event with a big opportunity for Elijah Burke, though John Cena winning doesn't bother me too much. Wow, Drew McIntyre debuting was great, very nice decision to have him debut and Evan Bourne losing to Kaval is fine; a great WWE Intercontinental Championship rematch from SummerSlam here. JTG beating William Regal is a little unfortunate, but the British Alliance can't win all of the time. Cryme Tyme could be good World Tag Team Champions; but Regal and Paul Burchill's reign is still young. Batista and MVP beating Kane and Triple H was the best way to go; decent main event to close off the show. Overall, a fine edition of RAW; nothing too good but not bad.

HAVEN'T REPLIED SINCE ARMAGEDDON!? catch up time.
RAWDec1409: Nice opening with Cena and Ted, The Royal Rumble Qualifying starts, always a fun thing to watch and Legacy joining the 30-Man match is greatness. I'd like to see Bourne regain contendership. Ah no contest, Morley interfering is cool but I still kinda see him as a GM sidekick. Ted quailfying is cool, it works but I'd like to see Truth in aswell though your rosters are stacked you need to let some people go. I wonder how MVP will stay in the main event now he's lost his title? Glad yo see Serena win and I hope she wins the Women's Title sooner or later. The Game is in the building. Great to see The British Alliance advance in the tag team tourney, they deserve it. Happy with the double countout although you've already had a no contest. Batista and Triple H is a great fued and I'm sure we'll have a great match at the Rumble. nice RAW.
ECWDec1509: Did I not reply to this, I remember doing so but I didn't. I know who the surprise is but I'm just going to say I'm intrigued to make it more suspensful. Great win for Ryder, loving his push. Ryder vs. Hurricane is great I hope it ends with Ryder gaining the title (I know it does). Danielson vs. Miz is cool, seems as if this is happening in every diary. Kennedy in the rumble is good, I hope he makes an elimination. Vintage hanging microphone. Carlito and Primo better prove something. Danielson beating the Miz evens the playing feild I'd like to see a rubber match. Dreamer eliminated is a good decision, Thorn is a nice choice and I'm glad he returned. Twist of Fate to Rey ending the show is a nice touch.
SMDDec1809: Shelton Benjamin, WHC, I like what I see. Benjamin standing tall is great and I like the main event stakes. The Hart Foundation in the Rumble is cool, another tag team addition. 1-0 to Morrison, I can see Black scoring a point next. As a debut match, Lee should've won, to be honest. Black winning is fine despite me being a huge Morrison mark. Orton has a decent excuse to be honest but I stil want to see the fued and the near attack is always a good segment. Shocked to see the DudeBusters go over Londrick, I'm not sure what I think. Edge vs. Kofi with a cage or ladders would be good. Sheamus' victory was well done, but Finlay gave up his spot which is annoying. Surprised to see a clean finish but it's fine, I don't see the same clean finish for the World Title bout on X-Mas though. Good show.
RAWDec2109: The Slammy's! A little heat between partner's in the opening segment is a nice set-up. Swagger coming out is pretty funny. I like the six-man tag and I wonder who'll get the last spot. Black taking the lead is ok as long as Morrison gets some back. Four matches left. Swagger winning Breakout Star is a good choice. Meh, Divas tag. Natalya as Diva of the year was also the right decision. Bryan Danielson vs. Jeff Hardy is a dream match of mine and Jeff going over was the correct desicion. The Viper strikes twice, good booking. Burke vs. Kofi sounds good and Edge attacking continues the fued. Benjamin cashing in was the most shocking of all those listed. Glad Ted won, a little revange. The Foundation winning the Tag award is now surprise, they've had the title's for so long. Bold move by Perfectly Awesome, expecting a Triple Threat Tag. CM Punk vs. Orton was so long, so the award is in the right place. CM Punk is once again a good choice for Superstar of the Year. All really correct choices on this show. Mysterio is a good partner. Wow, the contenders beat the champions, surprising to me.
ECWDec2209: Straight forward promo to open the show, which I usually like. The Colons need to do something usefull, split them of push them, please. Wow, Carlito is agrrovaited. YES! Ryder beats the Hurricane, Zack should be in position for a title match now. Wow, really surprised to see Dreamer/Danielson go over, I don't know it I like that. Oh right, I understand now and I can see new champions for RAW. More heat between the brothers. Good decision to see Hardy out of the running, I predict Mysterio to beat Thorn nexttime on ECW.
SMDXMASDay09: Merry Christmas! Glad Orton qualified for the rumble, I guess that means that we don't get a best of seven match tonight. A Steel Cage match sounds perfect. Glad AJ won since she lost in her debut which still was a bad decision. Belfast Brawl Loser Leaves Match, I sense a win for Sheamus. Finaly will retire soon anyway. Edge vs. Hardy is always great and Edge going over with the distraction is fitting. Wow, Londrick end NHF's valiant reign, what a shocker, great move. Don't like Kofi over the US Champion but since it's a rumble qualifier and I'm expecting Black vs. Morrison at the rumble, I don't mind. Shelton retaining is great and Punk cashing in his re-match is also good. I can't wait for the rumble now. I'ts shaping up really well. Great Show.
RAWDec2809: Lol, Morley vs. Cena, are you kidding? Glad Cena actually qualified for the Rumble. Nice promo from the WWE Champion, I expect Triple H to beat Batista at the Rumble. Mancini is dominating she needs to be takn down a peg, she hasn't lost many matches and I feel like she's coming off a bit too strong. A triple threat match sounds cool, nice way to get Bourne involved. Once again we don't see a pinfall or submission finish to Kane vs. MVP, will we ever? Wow, In the space of 4 days, the tag team championships have changed hands, I love it. Ziggler and Miz need to split now and persue singles careers. Glad Burke won, I'd release the Second City Saints or send them to developemental. Great win for Batista, I really see DiBiase as a main eventer in this diary which is hard when you don't see it on TV. The Game getting some retribution is always nice.
ECWDec2909: Almost to the end of 2009, your doing well. Obvious move to put Swagger over a win for Bryan just would'nt have been right. Ryder for TV Champion, Woo Woo Woo, You Know It. Another, KENNEDY, promo. Hardy qualifying was a no-brainer in that one. Nice to see Mizigler qualify. Break-up, the brothers are no more, push Carlito please. Great to see Rey win the Elimination Chase, Jack Swagger vs. Rey Mysterio sounds like a gooden.
SMDJan0110: 2010 is here, congratulations, Great promo from The Champ to open the show, I love his honesty in the promo. Yep, hardy qualifys, pretty much as expected. Masters needs something, desperatley. Orton vs. Jeff Hardy is bound for 'Mania right now. Maryse going over was good, makes her look strong. Jericho in the rumble, good. Londrick as champions again is great, your diary is so original. Morrison even's up the score good, I'd like to see him win the BOS and then Black to win a last chance match, just to mix things up. Can't wait for the Steel Cager Match. Belfast Brawl, this card is stacked, Sheamus ending his uncle's career is cool, it works. McCool vs. Maryse is hot. Big Show beating Hawkins is no surprise. Punk is down, it could only have been Shelton, nice storyline. Edge wins, what a great match, Kofi better get a proper championship push after this. Awesome show.
RAWJan0410: This was the big one this year, TNA vs. WWE. not so much here though, lol. Yay, a WWE Title match, nice segment to open the show. Evan Bourne gaining contendership is just lovely, a second reign would be class. Joey Mercury? I'm guessing. The new tag champions retain against the confused Cryme Tyme, seriously they don't seem useful anymore. Typical win for Cena, it'll do. Kaval qualifying for the rumble was the right way to go, Bourne needs in now. Serena beating Maria is fine. Not shocked to see Trips retain in that one, it was nice to see a distraction too. Awesome end to RAW. ECWJan0510: New Television Champion! Woo Woo Woo You Know It. uh oh, Ryder has to face The Hurricane again, I sense bad things. Thank good, Ryder keeps the title, lOve him as a Champion. Reall Realistic promo from Carlito a nice read. Primo vs. Carlito is a good booking. Dreamer qualifying is fine, I expect him to be a quick elimination. Decent tag team match, it works for an ECW Main Event. Oh so that guy was Drew McIntyre, sounds cool, forgot about him. SMDJan0810: Undertaker vs. Edge fued? I hope so, still a while to wait though. Sheamus beating Kofi is ok, not sure on it though, Kofi just lost last week. Maryse and John Morrison are a super awesome team. London beating Baretta is fine, atleast the dudebusters are getting a sort of push. Jericho's cowardly act pouts him over as a heel, therefore I like it. I like that Bejamin is defending his belt in open challenges, a great champion. Black and Kim winning is fine, Gail needed a victory. Jeff's promo was good and I liked the fact that you noted he was applying face paint. Edge getting in the rumble was a no-brainer. Great tag match to end the show, Nice win for the faces. Oh poop, the punt. Vicious end to the show.
RAWJan1110: Finally I'm here, the last episode in the reply, the thirteenth, can you beilieve that. Ted buying out Bischoff's contract is just amazing. Great win for DiBiase there. Serena wins again, does she ever lose, I get it your pushing her, lol. Cena wins for the third week in a row, I'm glad he's on the lower card, it's a refreshing change. McIntyre vs. Bourne is a good fued. Glas Kaval retained and that it was McIntyre's fault. Batista's promo on Triple H was nice. JTG winning was nice, good decision. Decent main event, the ending to the show always seems similar though. Nice show, I'm getting tired.
you owe me, lol.

I love the opening segment and this was a solid way to write off Eric. I wonder who the new GM will be - I'm sure it will be someone good. Ted defeating R-Truth was smart booking; I'm so over Truth and I really think there isn't much left for him to do. I like that you were able to put Burke over like a star without him defeating Cena. I have to say it's very refreshing to see Cena not in the main event. I like the way you've brought in Drew and his feud with Bourne should be solid. JTG winning is fine and I like Batista and MVP picking up the win to end the show.

Great opening segment from Dibiase, I'm loving him, and nice plan with him buying out Bischoff's contract. Good win over R-Truth for him. McIntyre debuting is meh, hopefully you use him well or make him interesting. Decent main event, glad MVP and Batista won

January 12th, 2010 Kohl Center [University of Wisconsin-Madison] in Madison, Wisconsin Attendance: 14,142
ECW opens with a video package focusing on Carlito turning his back on his brother, Primo. Then, it cuts to the events of last week involving Rey Mysterio and Jack Swagger.After the opening fireworks, the announce team of Todd Grisham and Byron Saxton welcome us to another great episode of ECW. They hype up the main event, featuring a battle between brothers, as Carlito takes on Primo. Plus, we will see the official contract signing for the ECW Championship match at the Royal Rumble between Jack Swagger and Rey Mysterio.Tag Team Match Perfectly Awesome w/ Alicia Fox vs. Goldust & Yoshi TatsuTatsu and Goldust have really impressed as a team so far, which is a surprise considering they’re an odd pairing. They went toe to toe with the former World Tag Team Champions, and nearly escaped with a victory a few times. In the end though, Ziggler ducked Tatsu’s Buzzsaw Kick, ducked behind him and nailed the Zig Zag for the win. Winners: Perfectly Awesome (8:21) **¾Perfectly Awesome manages to get back in the win column after losing the World Tag Team Titles. The cameras cut to the back where Mr. Kennedy is heading towards the arena.Commercial Break. [/color] Mr. Kennedy makes his way out to the ring and has the microphone drop down from the ceiling. He begins by talking about the Royal Rumble. He reminds us that he discussed being the winner a few weeks ago, which is a fact he wanted to keep fresh in the crowd’s mind. He says that the best time of his career was his time as ECW Champion and he’ll do whatever it takes to be ECW, WWE or World Champion at WrestleMania XXVI. He is cut off by Television Champion Zack Ryder, who comes to the ring with the lovely Courtney by his side. Ryder says “You win the Royal Rumble? Are you serious bro?” Ryder claims that by winning the Television Title he’s proven that he’s the top rising star in ECW and Kennedy is quickly becoming an afterthought. There’s no way an afterthought will win the Rumble over a rising star. Before Kennedy can say something back, Matt Hardy makes his way to the stage. He tells both of them that they are severely mistaken if they expect to win the Royal Rumble. He says that winning the Rumble is his destiny. He’s going to prove once and for all that he is not just the best in ECW, he’s not just the best Hardy, but that he’s the best the WWE has to offer. At this point, Ryder attempted to nail Kennedy with the TV Title but he ducked it and connected with the Mic Check. Kennedy stared up the ramp right at Matt, who stared back and smirked. The Rumble participants are starting to get rowdy. Commercial Break.
Singles Match [Royal Rumble Qualifier] Bryan Danielson vs. Eric Escobar w/ Chavo Guerrero[/color] Escobar used his power advantage early in this contest. He hit a few slams and a back breaker and was in control. Danielson took back control by targeting the right arm of Escobar. That led to him nailing a top rope belly to back suplex and he finished it off by making Escobar submit to the Cattle Mutilation. Winner: Bryan Danielson (6:02) **½[/color] Danielson becomes the 26th Superstar to qualify for the Royal Rumble. The cameras now go back to Angela Fong, who is standing by with the ECW Original, Tommy Dreamer. She asks Dreamer about Kevin Thorn challenging him to a match tonight after Dreamer beat Hade Vansen last week. Dreamer says that he’s dealt with Thorn before and he’ll be glad to do it again tonight. Dreamer promises to show him once again that ECW is not Thorn’s to take.Commercial Break.
Singles Match Kevin Thorn w/ The Brood vs. Tommy Dreamer[/color] This wasn’t anything special, but it was still decent. Dreamer nearly picked up the win a few times, but the Brood got involved each time. He finally managed to drill Thorn with the DDT, but Vansen got on the apron to distract the referee. Paradox snuck in and spit the green mist in Dreamer’s eyes. Thorn connected with the Original Sin to gain victory. Winner: Kevin Thorn (8:03) **½[/color] Josh Matthews is now standing by with Primo. He asks him how he feels about his brother’s betrayal. Primo says that it hurt him and his family when Carlito nailed him with the Back Stabber. But he promised his father that he would make Carlito pay for disgracing the family name.Commercial Break.
Singles Match Carlito vs. Primo[/color] It was obvious that this was just the first in a line of matches involving these two. They didn’t go all out and it wasn’t as good as it could’ve been. Carlito used some rest holds to wear down his brother. Primo used his high flying ability to rally back. He hit a springboard back elbow and missile dropkick. He climbed to the top and went for a flying headbutt, but Carlito moved. He waited for his brother to get up and went for the Back Stabber, but Primo held onto the ropes, sending Carlito crashing on his own. He then grabbed Carlito’s legs and flipped over into a pin for the surprise win. Winner: Primo (9:57) **¾[/color] After the match, Primo offered a handshake to his brother. Carlito looked around and slapped his brother’s hand away, before rolling out of the ring and backing up the ramp. He was saying “this isn’t over” as he left.Commercial Break.[/color] When we return, there is a table set up in the ring, and Teddy Long is there as well. He introduces the challenger at the Royal Rumble, Rey Mysterio, who enters to a lot of cheers. He then introduced the ECW Champion; Jack Swagger to a loud ovation of boos. They go over the contract and Rey goes to sign first. Swagger stops him and gets the microphone. He begins to talk about the danger Rey could be putting himself in. He says that Rey is putting his career on the line and risking his well being by stepping into the ring with the “All-American American.” He takes the pen and signs, telling Rey that he’ll understand if he backs out. Rey smirks, snatches the pen and signs while staring right at Swagger. Swagger laughs and tells Rey that he’s going to write a letter to Rey’s children, apologizing for what he’s going to do to their daddy at the Rumble. Rey dislikes this and leaps from his chair right onto Swagger. He fires away with right hands until he picks him up. He places Swagger in 619 position and moves the table out of the way. He runs off the ropes to nail it, but Swagger quickly got out of dodge and escaped up the ramp. © WWE 2010 [/center] [/font]

Alright, I'm giving this a shot. I don't follow WWE so bear with me.
I'm glad Bryan Danielson got the win, and I'm glad you're not calling him Daniel Bryan too. Nice. Hoping Dreamer would've got the win, but younger talent needs pushing so thats cool. I honestly have no idea who anyone else is, save Goldust for example, so I can't really comment on much. What I have noticed as a went back a couple pages is that you're format is solid and easy to read. That's pretty cool.
Overall, nice job. It flows together, and it seems like you are doing well. Keep up the good work.

-Perfectly Awesome is...awesome. They are my favorite tag team on here. Glad they won. -Good promo by Ryder, Kennedy, and Hardy. Like them all wanting to win the Rumble. I can see a shocker! -Danielson winning is fine. -Thorn winning is the right call here. -Primo winning seems like a good decision. It's a good result either way. -Good ECW. Reply to WWE 2010?

ECWJan1210: Glad that Perfectly Awesome regained Momentum after they have lost their tag team championship, I split would be nice though. I liked the Rumble participants segment and the ending with the Mic Check on Ryder, goos job. Glad Danielson qualified over Escobar, Eric could be released he's just holding back Chavo. Nice to see Thorn back on winning terms in ECW, I hope he engages in a nice fued. Wow, Primo wins, actually a good decision to keep this going. Awesome end segment, makes it a little more personal and Swagger escaping is a perfect heel finish. Good Show.

ECW, I love that you're having Carlito and Primo Main Event, really helps their image. I was hoping to see YoshiDust win this one, but I guess you're keeping Perfectly Awesome together. A great segment with Mr. Kennedy, Zack Ryder and Matt Hardy, I could genuinely see Mr. Kennedy winning the Rumble, which would not only be huge for him, but for ECW. I'm glad that Bryan Danielson qualified for the Rumble over Eric Escobar. Pleased to see Kevin Thorn take a victory here, I hope he regains contention to the ECW Championship soon. I was shocked to see Primo go over, but surprisingly pleased, tbh. I'm hoping Carlito comes out victorious in the feud, but I like this Primo victory, really shows he isn't the inferior brother. Ah, the classic contract signing. Rey Mysterio's children seem to come into most Mysterio segments, haha. Great way to end ECW with Swagger escaping the 619, I hope he retains at the Royal Rumble. Great ECW.

ECW on SyFy: Tuesday 12th January 2010...Decent opening contest to keep the former World Tag Team Champions, Dolph Ziggler and The Miz still relevent, Yoshi Tatsu and Goldust are really mainly a team for others to get wins over. I wouldn't mind them with an occasional victory, here and there though. Mr Kennedy's promo was a solid one, but wow, Zack Ryder's involvement. And Matt Hardy's? ECW superstars getting hyped up as we get closer to the Royal Rumble. I foresee a triple threat match for the WWE Television Championship. Bryan Danielson beating Eric Escobar is fine; not too bad a match but Escobar and Chavo Guerrero have been forgotten about in recent weeks on the show. Decent bout between Kevin Thorn and Tommy Dreamer as the feud between Dreamer and The Brood seems to continue. Thorn winning is good. Decent main event with Primo and Carlito competing in not a bad match, only complaint is that I hope Carlito manages to get a main event push on ECW one day soon. Finally, decent promo to close down the show with Jack Swagger and Rey Mysterio; a decent show preparing for the Royal Rumble.

I like Perfectly Awesome taking on Goldust and Yoshi to kick off the action for ECW. Obviously, Perfectly Awesome is the better take team and their victory is just. I liked the Kennedy promo getting interrupted by Zack Ryder. I can actually accept Kennedy winning the Rumble. Matt Hardy winning the Rumble, ha – like that would ever happen. Danielson picking up a victory over Eric is solid and a fine way to keep Danielson on a roll. I would mark if he won the Rumble, but that would also be poor booking. Thorn defeating Dreamer is a perfectly acceptable wrestling. Primo winning the first battle against Carlito seems good to me, but I am interested to see where you take them. Swagger-Rey was a fine segment to end the show; I am just not that interested as I hate Rey in the title picture.
