Chicago Mades' WWE 12' Universe Updates

**I restarted my universe because I wanted to do things differently than I had initially planned. So with that said here is what I have going on so far only in the second week of the first year of the Universe.**

I decided to make it one big roster, however Smackdown has the Intercontinental title, while Raw has the United States Title.

Undisputed Champion - CM Punk
United States Champion (Raw) - Jack Swagger
Intercontinental Champion (Smackdown) - Cody Rhodes
Divas Champion - Kelly Kelly
Tag Team Champion - Otunga & McGillicutty

~Smackdown Super Show~

Sheamus v. Christian

In what was a see saw battle with both men taking an upper hand on one another throughout the match. Sheamus would hit the Celtic Cross on Christian to get the 1-2-3.

Sheamus wins via Pinfall.

Otunga & McGillicutty v. SanYoshi (Santino Marella & Yoshi Tatsu)

The newly formed tag team of SanYoshi, started the match out pretty flat. With Otunga and McGillicutty working the match to perfection until Yoshi Tatsu came in like a house on fire destroying both competitors. Yoshi then tagged in Santino whom hit McGillicutty with the Cobra and scored the pinfall.

SanYoshi wins via Pinfall.

Kelly Kelly vs. Kharma

Kharma dominated Kelly Kelly in this match as to say to her that she should be the number 1 diva on the WWE roster. After the match however, Kharma helped Kelly Kelly up and shook her hand. (SOOOOOO NOT WHAT I WANTED FROM THIS)

Kharma wins via Pinfall.

?? vs. Mason Ryan

In what was the biggest shocker of the night Mason Ryan found out that his opponent for tonights matchup was non other than BILL GOLDBERG!!!!. Mason Ryan didn't back down not one single bit. Ryan went toe-to-toe with Goldberg using his strength to HIS advantage. Goldberg showed tons of ring rust, which would lead to a Mason Ryan win which may go down as the biggest upset since 1-2-3 Kid defeated Razor Ramon years ago.

Cutscene: Showed Bill Goldberg carted off

Mason Ryan wins via Pinfall.

[Chicago Made]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Undisputed WWE Championship - CM PUNK

#1 Contender Jack Swagger
#2 Contender Dolph Ziggler
#3 Contender Mason Ryan
#4 Contender Yoshi Tatsu (LOL)
5. Macho Man
6. John Cena
7. Santino Marella
8. Zack Ryder
9. Kevin Nash
10. Booker T

United States Championship - Jack Swagger

#1 Contender Dolph Ziggler
#2 Contender Kofi Kingston
#3 Contender Mason Ryan
#4 Contender Evan Bourne

Intercontinental Championship - Cody Rhodes

#1 Contender Booker T
#2 Contender Yoshi Tatsu
#3 Contender Big Show
#4 Contender Sheamus

Tag Team Titles - Otunga & McGillicutty

#1 Contender The Road Warriors
#2 Contender Demolition
#3 Contender SanYoshi
#4 Contender Air Boom

**Smackdown turned out to be a pretty decent show and Mason Ryan had a really big upset win and wound up putting the Debuting Bill Goldberg on the shelf for a while. Vaulting himself high up on the contender list for CM Punks title.**

Monday Night Raw

Dolph Ziggler vs. Edge

Ziggler would take control early, but a reversal and the match going to the outside would shift the momentum back towards Edge. As the match continued on Edge made a costly mistake which Dolph capitalized on but hitting the zig zag and escaping with the win.

Dolph Ziggler wins via Pinfall.

Ted DiBiase vs. Sin Cara

Match was going in favor of Sin Cara until Dibiase hit him with a Chop Block. He the began to work on Sin Cara knees which later led to a Dream Street and the win for Ted Dibiase.

Ted Dibiase wins via Pinfall

CM Punk vs. Alberto Del Rio w/ Ricardo Rodriguez

Match went on for what seemed like an eternity, Ricardo Rodriguez interfered at every gaping moment he could. Punk hit 4 GTS's and Del Rio had the arm bar locked in twice on punk but, as it turned out that 4th GTS was too much for Del Rio to endure in this match.

Cutscene saw Del Rio laid out and the Ref waving for help from the back.

CM Punk wins via Pinfall

Edit: Dr's are saying this could be the end of Del Rios career.

Todays Remarkable Matchup
Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler vs. Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel

**Figured Id just let this ish play out otherwise it'll only keep showing up**

Cutscene: Heath Slater would come out but Justin Gabriel was a no show for his partner.

Ross and Lawler would do a number on Slater, with Lawler making Slater tap via the Camel Clutch.

Ross & Lawler wins via Submission

Cutscene: Gabriel and Husky Harris come out and attack Lawler and Ross and give them a good beat down to end the show. Is the Nexus reforming.?

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Don't ya just love when you type up a big Universe review and something happens....GRRR...

Quick results for my cards before Hardcore Heaven, then.

- RAW -

Extreme Rules: Kofi vs. Kozlov. Santino replaced Kofi from entrance ramp and handed the payback the Russian deserved. Winner: Santino. Cutscene: Santino offers handshake and recieves a blow where the sun don't shine.

Ziggler w/ Nash vs. Punk. Winner: Ziggler via small package after Nash distractions. No cutscenes.

ADR vs. JBL. Revenge match between a would-be tag-team. Winner: JBL by countout.

Main Event: Big Show vs. Triple H. Cutscene: Trips is attacked by Sandman! When Show fails to pin HHH after the attack, another cutscene: Sabu attacks both HHH and Show! Highlights: HHH wins by Pedigree. Winner: HHH. Cutscene: D-X (X-Pac & Road Dawg) arrive to beat down Show while HHH gives him a couple chair shots. Guess he's to blame for ECW's invasion! GREAT cutscenes.


- Smackdown -

Tommy Dreamer & RVD vs. Sheamus & Orton. Winners: Shea & RKO by DQ.

Cena vs. Angle. Ol' school matchup. Winner: Cena. No cutscenes.

Main Event - Extreme Rules Tornado Tag - Pinfalls Count Anywhere: Rhodes & Eddie vs. New Latino Heat (Chavo & Mysterio). Match pretty much turned into a Fatal 4Way when Eddie and Rhodes started battling. Winner: Eddie got the frogsplash on his nephew.


- TNA/Impact -

Deleted Abyss, which allowed the aimless 1 on 3 match to go away. He'll be back later.

Morgan vs. Mr. Perfect. Cutscene: Samoa Joe sits ringside for this one. My Hennig lured Morgan over towards the annouce table for a heated confrontation with Joe. Hennig would nail MM with a few surprise attacks, but it wasn't enough for Morgan's in-ring strength: Winner: Morgan. Cutscene: Joe and Morgan battle on the ramp. Great rivalry we have going here!

Raven vs. McIntyre. Cutscene: Pretending to be a fan, Taz nails Raven before the match. McIntyre took care of business with the Future Shock thereafter. Winner: Drew. Cutscene: Taz beats them both down!

Sting announces a bi-weekly 8-Team Tournament for the #1 Contender's spot to battle Joe & Mason Ryan at next month's PPV "Souled Out."

Round 1, Match 1: Green N' Gold (AJ Styles & Chris Sabin) vs. Angels of Death (Christopher Daniels & Matt Hardy). Since Sabin saved AJ from being attacked by Hardy a couple weeks ago, Sting thought this would make a great opening contest for the tourney. And if you give Daniels and Hardy the "Brothers of Destruction" entrance w/ Daniels' music, it goes together pretty well. Of course, both Sabin and AJ were partners and have matching entrance hoods if you pick the right attires. Highlights: Great great match with 4 technically-sound wrestlers, as you could imagine. Close finishers at the end, with Daniels nailing the Angel's Wings on AJ before the hot tag led to Sabin applying a double-hammerlock piledriver for the close win. Winners and moving on to Round 2: Green N' Gold!

Main Event - Nontitle: Daniel Bryan vs. Jeff Hardy (TNA Champ). Interesting booking by the computer and with the Orton feud all over and Hardy having a few weeks off without much doing, I can respect this technical affair. Highlights: Pretty good match, but Hardy's so much on a role that even when I dominated with Bryan, they offered me a "comeback" Winner: Hardy.


Up next, Hardcore Heaven!!!!!

[LOOSECANNON]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Welcome everybody...the deal had been struck between Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman, and ECW has been INVADING the WWE and TNA!!! Tonight, the feds get their shot at revenge, but it won't be easy...as the environment is pretty EXTREME and to these fellas with no conscious, it will just be another night of...





6-Man Elimination, Extreme Rules, Pinfalls Count Anywhere!! Team Extreme: Rob Van Damn, Sabu, & Sandman vs. Degeneration-X: Triple H, X-Pac, & Road Dawg. Highlights: WOWWW. if this match is an inch of what's to come...then I promise you the bloodiest, goriest more hardcore wrestling extravaganza of them all!!! Sandman put in a hell of a lot of damage on X-Pac with a sledgehammer, but was soon pinned by Triple H after being smashed over the head with a chair near the guardrail. RVD finished off Road Dawg with a chair-kick to the face before getting X-Pac'd. Triple H would pin him after the use of his sledgehammer. There were chairs everywhere. Blood all over. But HHH would feel the signature piledriver from Sabu on the concrete and would get pinned after being smashed over the head with a chair outside. It was then down to X-Pac and Sabu, with the "Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal, Death Defying Maniac" just escaping a finish on Pac with a slingshot clothesline followed by a wishbone that made Pac tap.


Sole Winner:


Cutscene: The referee called for help for X-Pac who suffered one too many chairshots throughout the night. Sabu may have also broken his back!


Due to Scott Steiner's recent defection from the nWo and certain breakup with fellow Battle Royal winner Mr. Perfect, it was declared a new team was needed for this match...and, to no surprise, Heyman stepped in with a suggestion...

Unified Tag-Team Championship - Extreme Rules!! Wild Card: Samoa Joe & Mason Ryan (Champs) vs.... the Dudley Boyz: D-Von & Bully Ray... and it's also been announced this will also be a TABLES match!! No surprise that the Dudleyz were the first to GET THE TABLES!!! And my Samoa Joe missed a plancha on D-Von to go through a table...luckily, that's not within the rules. I also missed a shoulder tackle at Bully just moments later on to go through a table as well! You MUST put your opponent through! Whew! And, oh no.. just when Mason Ryan recieved a facebuster from D-Von, Bully Ray launched on top of Joe after giving him some bionic elbows....SPLAT!!! We have NEEEWWWWW Unified Tag Team Champions!!!!

Winners:

And doesn't this throw a curveball to Sting's Tag-Team Tournament plans!


Raven’s Rules – Parking Lot Brawl: Taz vs. Raven vs. Randy Orton. Raven first appeared on the scene quietly watching two of RKO's matches against Daniel Bryan. Taz appearaed to be on the same side until turning on the former Scotty Polo and beating him down rellentlesly with a chair. Three's a crowd, and certainly in the parking lot, that's plenty enough. I haven't played the "free brawls" enough to know that there's WWE character voices in it? Anyone else notice this? After Taz german release suplexed Raven against one of the vehicles Orton fought back up and smashed Taz through a windshield.

Winner:


This part of the game definitely needs some more work. They go by way too fast. They should watch the old Kevin Sullivan/Chris Benoit backstage brawls and learn from the best. It should just be an extension of the backstage (i.e. No Way Out). Also, there should be plenty of storyline interference and cutscenes...ambulances...people, etc. WWE 13 I'm sure.

Elimination Chamber 6-Man Tornado Match!! nWo: Nash, Hall, Ziggler vs. UK Invasion: Regal, Barrett, & McIntyre. Regal stuck his nose in Nash's nWo business during his affairs with Dolph Ziggler, and the nWo made pretty short work out of the suited blokes. Yes, I put them all in suits for them to give off that 007 vibe. Nonetheless, Scott Hall eliminated all 3 wrestlers, with Ziggler raising both Outsiders' arms at the end in approval. While tonight may be ECW's night, the New World Order is coming soon.....

Winners:

DEBUT BELT! Hardcore Championship Scramble!! Tommy Dreamer vs. CM Punk vs. Justin Credible vs. Chris Jericho vs. ????????? Ohhh....20 Minute Time Limit, every 5-minutes a new wrestler enters the match, winner with the belt at the end wins, NO DQ!!!! This is basically old school WWECW Hardcore Rules--the one cool thing we missed about the "Extreme" side of the WWE. Jericho enters first and has the loudest boos of the night. There's no question this man's extremely over, and check out that red jacket!!! He'll be up against.. Justin Credible!!! While the belt is debut, so is this guy!! Back from the dungeons of ol' ECW Lore, Credible battles Y2J first. The former impact player got the first fall with a That's Incredible Spinning Tombstone. For whatever reason, CM Punk's theme was running throughout the match...I guess it's old school style like New Jack did... At least it's a cool song until my Dreamer enters. No surprise, Justin's the first to bring a chair in the ring, and clams Punk over the head just as Punk pinned Jericho with a GTS...poor Y2J is catching a beatdown. Music finally ends. There's tons of chairs in the ring now. Still waiting to jump in on this!! Jericho German suplexes justin on a chair. THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! Tommy Dreamer! After I nailed Punk with a chair and missed on a 2 count, Justin nails his finisher again, this time on Punk to gain back the title! We're all still waiting to see who the mystery opponent at #5 will be!!! Dreamer backsuplexes Y2J on the concrete for the fall! New champ again! Jericho is about to set the record for most times pinned in a scramble. Just as Dreamer reaffirms his title with a submission on Credible, that familiar music hurls.... Yes! Yes! It's Mick Foley!! He even applies Mr. Socko to Y2J after Punk breaks up the Walls of Jericho!! What an excited match! I wish there was no time limit!!! But with 10 seconds left CM Punk reverses the Dreamer Driver, but it's just not enough, as Y2J breaks up the pinfall.

Winner and NEWWW Hardcore Champion:


Main Event - WWE Championship – Inferno Match!! Kane (Champ) vs. The Rock. After winning the championship against Big Show at Wrestlemania, Kane thought it was a good idea to beat the living daylights out of The Rock following his victory over Ryder, who replaced John Cena due to injury. With the Cena/Rock match now postponed until Summerslam, Dwayne Johnson has now set his sights against the WWE Champion. This type of match is only fitting for an event so EXTREME... Highlights: Never had this type of match before, and wow is it exhilarating!!!! Going back 'n forth, both wrestlers escaped near danger of being thrown into the towering conflagration! Late into the match Kane escapes near disaster after being caught in a Rock Bottom! After escaping, the champ would go on to dominate for a while before getting caught up... The Rock was nearly tossed into the flames after receiving a timely sidesuplex. Kane has run through Cena, Ryder, Jericho, Big Show, and even his own brother the Undertaker. Will he run the full gauntlet and make it 6? Not if the boots go to asses.. and that's exactly what happens as Kane is torched when the temperatures hit the high 500 celsius!!! I can't believe it, but we have a new WWE Champion....AGAIN!!!

Winner and NEWWWWWWWWWWW:


Goodbye from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We will see you tomorrow night on RAW, friends!

[Grumpykore]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

I going to rework my top50. With CC having some awesome creations of the dudley's, I plan on DL ol'school to make a reunite!..Bully is fun, but I need a fun tag team to run with!...

My Hardcore title has been changing constantly every week for the last month. New to the Hardcore Division is THE JOKER - hospital attire and insane make him a force to be recon with right now! BUT

Justin Credible is one of my all time fav ECW so he is a now in the top50!...lets see what happens.

*Loose did you replace your SD with ECW show!...

One more thing, I about to bust out Brock and Golbergggggggg!..WHO's NEXT Look out!.

[LOOSECANNON]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Yo! Last night's show was the best! I def. reworked my top 50...I hate that we have to do that...I feel like e-mailing THQ everyday to remind them we need at least 150 CAW slots...it can't be that difficult, man. I'm tired of deleting guys and sitting on the hour-long wait servers to get someone else. Also, I upgraded some original CAWS I had to better ones. And I'm keeping Bully Ray for TNA purposes, although I wish whoever made him added the 3 other alt-attires. I've actually taken steps into editing some of the CAWS, such as Raven, who was missing his jean shorts, t-shirt, jacket, and curly long hair...

What did you think of my Hardcore Heaven? I actually used Kane, hoping he'd win, but The Rock was insanely tough! I was on the edge of my seat. It was so much fun, though. At least now Cena/Rock @ Summerslam will probably be for the belt. I do hate that the WWE title has changed hands FIVE times in 4 months!! But, hell, it's happened before And since I ran out of ideas for CM Punk, having him @ his original WWE home of ECW makes tons of sense. Ziggler with the nWo has been stellar.

I can't wait to begin my X-Division tournament is well since that belt is now vacant (with Aires injury, and yes, the CPU def. booked Aires last night, hence why I replaced the belt with the Hardcore One)...

and you've taken an awesome guess, as many guys defecting to ECW (wait 'til you see Raven's "Flock II" stable, among some of the guys...), it only makes sense to make that my new Thursday program......

It definitely sucks we can't ADD nights to the schedule. I know there's a hack out there that does it, but it doesn't show the program icon on the calender, so there's no point... It would also be sweet if we could alternate weekly shows if not then, like if I wanted a RAW then Smackdown then RAW then Smackdown, or ECW then WCW Nitro then ECW then WCW Nitro. Cool, right? It's too bad they just change every single Monday, etc. At least give us the option of ADDING a PPV on one other Sunday? It's pretty crappy I have to make my TNA PPV's on a Thursday, too.

Still hate that the Thursday show has to involve all brands, too. They could have fixed that with the patch, me thinks.

In all, an exciting New Era with The People's Champ returning to his glory...

What are your pay per views? Have you edited them?

Here's my schedule:

May - nWo Souled Out (changed from Over the Limit)

June - Fatal 4Way

July - TLC (changed from MITB just like the WWE did)

August - Summer Slam

September - CLASH of Champions (changed from Night of Champions)

October - Halloween Havoc & Hell in a Cell (changed from Hell in a Cell & Bragging Rights---placed HIAC on the correct date, and there's no more BR in the WWE)

November - Survivor Series (though, it's really stupid we can't do traditional 4 on 4 or 5 on 5 S.S. matches. Better have it next year, yo!)

December - Starcade (changed from TLC)..... There will also be no ECW the first week of December, as I'll be having my Tribute to the Troops.

January - Royal Rumble

February - Elimination Chamber

March - Wrestlemania 28..... Have you noticed they have the icon for 28, but not the ring or matchup screen? Pretty lame.

[Grumpykore]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Loose, I agree with many of your thoughts. I remember back on 22nd of Nov 2011 the day of release, i tried rotating shows for purposes each week too of keeping the roster fresh with new stars but the only way i say it was thought it was possible was to switch back and fourth. That turns into a pain in the arase and to much work....LOW had ways of getting 100+ caws..come on people-:.

I sure hope CC gest fixed quick, they said last week they would have all the server patches installed and ready for smooth DL...ummm ok.

On belt talk: I defiantly think my HaRdKore title is going to be one in my belt ranks. US Title changes monthly so i need a fresh attitude replacement and what better way to do then set it up. i seem to have alot of ECW roster from the past so i should be fun-even if only 10 were up for grabs would be a nice addition.

(I enjoy the diva match this year for WWE12 but we should have a way to remove the belts and put new ones in replacing the Divas Title. No need to have 2 belts . Wowen's title works just fine and I don't mind having Beth Phoenix my #1 one holder with challenges.)

On Universe topic:,-CM Punk days of being baby face might be on its way out...his momentum bar is depleted!!!
DX is back for one last run - I'm going to run wild with them...I was thinking about Saturn, Kidman & Lodi today to go with Raven!...The CC raven I have looks good and does have 3 nice attires. (Loose what one do you have).

I'll post my new update tomorrow night, just wanted to vent some frustration I'm having too.

I have been watching a lot of old school wrassling this weekend due to my kids being sick. I miss those attitude days in WWF. Stone Cold and UT matches were insane..and mankind too..The Rock years and HHH are some of the best!...UT and Kane first ever Inferno Match was fun to watch again after all these years and then play on WWE12 plus the HIAC with UT and Mankind!..OMG sick match (Top 5 of all time)

When I rey rey coming back!...maybe WM...?

[Grumpykore]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Loose,

A couple quick thoughts, what diff are you playing and what settings you play with to make your matches?

I play on HARD - SLOW momentum for normal matches and tag FAST!>..TNA DQ off cuz i like the ECW feel, but that might change with time. They do have Classic ECW belt and current. That would be nice to have!...

What is the key on revising ALLIES and RIVALS! for story matches?...

I reworking my PPV too, adding some new ones..well see I'll update my universe tomorrow nite!

I posted another request for you on XBOX LIVE-take a look at your massages!...peace!

[LOOSECANNON]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Loose,

A couple quick thoughts, what diff are you playing and what settings you play with to make your matches?

Normal, I posted the settings under the "game sliders" thread..it's too much to type out now LOL...

What is the key on revising ALLIES and RIVALS! for story matches?...

There's a new post in this forum by BenGerman and another "Ultimate Slider Explanation" that has tips on how to revising Allies. I just try to mess with the Allies and Rivals, and it works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. Luck of the draw for me.

I reworking my PPV too, adding some new ones..well see I'll update my universe tomorrow nite!

Yeah when you update your PPV's, let me know what you have!

I posted another request for you on XBOX LIVE-take a look at your massages!...peace!

I finally responded, sorry. I forget to check those

[LOOSECANNON]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Quick results...Same RAW as last night, just without all the brash humor


- RAW -

Kingston vs. Jericho. Highlights: Codebreaker, Walls of Jericho. Goodnight. Winner: Y2J.

Ziggler w/ Vickie vs. Truth. Highlights: I like Ziggler's theme so much, I kept it from the nWo. Hey, he's here to show the world why they chose him! Changed Truth's entrance back to his original since he's going on this little streak here...I didn't realize he would be rapping in the crowd and ****... Just irish-whipped Zig into Vickie who was hanging on the apron!! haha...and then she got me back the second time, dumping me over. Great back n' forth match! Ziggler nails a german suplex bridge for the victory. Winner: Zig. No jobbing here.

I hate that they advertise the PPV's between matches that you went and edited. I'm not doing Over The Limit, stupids!

Orton vs. Kane. Highlights: CPU booked this! And Big Show is out of commish from the D-X bumrush he recieved the RAW before Hardcore Heaven. Love the Render here for Masked Kane too, almost making me forget that the untrackable Attitude Era Kane was a waste. Almost. (This new one is still using up a CAW space...grr.) This was good! A little too easy with the Recovery down to 1 now. May have to bump up normal to hard. Orton lured Kane back into the ring and hit the RKO as soon as he entered! Bang. Winner: RKO. Cutscene: Kane attacks Orton after the match, leaving him wounded! This will make a great rivalry--despite the fact they had several feuds in the past 3 years--3 years that I was NOT following wrestling

Main Event (Non-Title): The Miz vs. The Rock. Highlights: Since The Rock is the WWE Champion in my U, it makes no sense to have CM Punk here in the Main Event since he hasn't done ****. That, and there'd be no way in hell a cutscene. Pretty much domination from Rocky this side of a few drives from Mr. Awesome. Signature flip DDT followed by "People's Elbow" and Rock Bottom after Miz escaped out of the ring. Winner: Rock. Cutscene: The New World Order's Nash & McGillicutty come out to the entrance ramp, with Nash motioning around his waste that he wants the title! With nWo Souled Out in 3 weeks, we couldn't kick off a better RAW!!!!!

[BenGerman]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Loose, I love reading your updates. I'm excited to get mine back up and running tomorrow (I was on a mini-vacation).

[LOOSECANNON]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Thanks pal, heavily appreciated!!! Keep 'em rolling as well!

Following the typical Green Day-led Smackdown opening segment....a loud screetch halters, and that music most wrestling diehards know so well explodes onto the scene with a lavender red logo sprawling across the screen--smashing into the Smackdown logo, bursting it into pieces. Tonight, Smackdown is no more. No, tonight is all about...


- -


Thursday card from now on will be ECW...as Teddy Long has been taken off the air effective immediately. The ratings were said to have been low, despite using TNA in addition to WWE talent, and the stats rolled out from Vince McMahon have last week's Hardcore Heaven the highest PPV buyout in 3 years, including the past 3 Wrestlemanias!!! "People just want EXTREME back in their lives," he rants just before introducing Paul Heyman once again to the world of wrestling. "We're not just here to present Extreme Championship Wrestling. We're here -- as we ALL saw just a few days ago in Milwaukee -- for brand domination," Heyman stamps to a rumbling Philladelphia crowd. "Sorry, but we'rrrrrree baaaaaaaack."


After the exciting announcement that ECW would be appearing weekly instead of Smackdown, we're instantly hit with music from... the NWO? And it's....wait...who? David Otunga?!!? He claims he's always vouched for Teddy to be replaced, after not consoling with him on backstage issues unlike that of John Laurinaitis...so he's abandoned all brands and joined an extended New World Order branch after receiving a call from his good friend McGillicutty. Despite that, his appearance @ ECW isn't be taken so well that Heyman immediately has another announcement of his own....Canadian Wrestling Legend, Lance Storm!!!! And he put on one hell of a show. Highlights: Although Otunga kicked out of the "Deep Impact "spike piledriver, Storm caught Otunga in the Superkick for the debut victory finish. Winner: Storm! Cutscene: None, despite the CPU booking the match. But I'm cool with it.


Extreme Rules - Triple Threat: Sabu vs. Raven vs. Taz. As soon as Sabu's music hit, the former Asylum Arena known better as ECW Arena went ape****... But... ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!! After Raven entered the ring with his scpeil, (Cutscene) Taz is attacked from behing by Justin Credible!!!!!! He was smashed into the entrance steps and thrown back into the ring. It didn't take too long before both Sabu (kendo stick) and Raven (crutches) threw weapons into the ring. My Taz set up a table outside and strong-whipped Raven right on top of it!!! ECW! ECW! ECW!! As soon as Taz nailed a top rope back splash that demolished both he and Raven, Sabu took advantage with the pinfall. Brilliant on his part...and just a taste of what's to come from this program!!!! Winner: Sabu!

The UK Invasion (Wade Barrett & Drew McIntyre), in full business attire, are here from Smackdown, commisioned by the powers that be to address their brand situation. But before these lads have a chance to assess their nightmares, the ECW music cranks up with none other than the new Hardcore Champion, Tommy Dreamer in the house!!! He announces that the boys better be ready because Heyman's made this the Main Event tonight, and yet another match in the Unified Tag Team Tournament, and that that's not the only surprise he has in store. Nope: The Franchise is back baby! Shane Douglas!!! Highlights: The UK Invasion actually look great and making the most of some pretty intense double teams, even with extreme rules going on...the rules still called for tagging in and out. Dreamer took things outside and made it interesting with the use of a sledgehammer and chair, but UK had the edge. Once Douglas recieved the hot tag he exploded on both the Brit and Scot, but shockingly enough Barrett gets the Winds of Change after Dreamer argued with the referee. Onto the 2nd round they go!!! Winners: UK Invasion. Guess Smackdown let these guys they aren't going anywhere!!!

[BenGerman]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

• The Miz and John Cena have been back and forth for a few weeks. Tonight, on Monday Night Raw, we'll see those two right back in the ring as they go one on one!

Monday Night Raw

John Cena v The Miz: Man, the Miz is finding all kinds of ways to get in Cena's head. Before the match took place, The Miz came from out of the crowd and put a pre-match beating on Cena. For the second week in a row, the matched ended before it could even really begin. Will Cena see some kind of retribution in the near future, by resorting to similar tactics as the Miz, or will he continue to take the high-road Cena style, and get his *** whooped?

Rating: **, Miz wins via pinfall.

Iron Senator (c) vs Kozlov: Its safe to say that Kozlov has not had the best last couple of weeks. First, his partner Santino blows a chance at the Tag Team title belts, then, he gets screwed out of a title match at Over the Limit for the United States belt, and then loses out on yet another chance at the Title Belts. Tonight, he looked to change his fortune with an Iron Curtain or two. Unfortunately for Kozlov, the Iron Curain was reversed no matter how many times he attempted it (twice). It was over as soon as Senator gave him a signature DDT followed up with Shock Drop into a pin.

Rating: **1/2, Santor wins via pinfall.

Jack Swagger v Rey Mysterio: Both guys are looking for their shot to face Trips for the Belt, but little did they know what was in store for them tonight on Raw. The ref gets knocked out as Swagger went in for a clothesline, and out comes Batista! As Swagger stares in aw at the surprise visit, he's hit with a Batista Bomb! Batista wake up the ref, and Mysterio makes the cover. What does this mean for Monday Night Raw?

Rating: *** (just because I love surprise entries), Mysterio wins via pinfall.

Morrison/Kingston v Otunga/Riley (#1 Contenders match): The Tag division has sucked recently, so I decided to main even a contenders match and see how it worked out. I was tempted to give Riley Big Show as a parter, but with Raw having kind of a depleted roster at the moment, I'm saving Big Show as a possible contender for the WWE/US belts. So I decided to give an underused Otunga a chance. Morrison and Kingston were allies a while back, so I decided to team them up and see what happens. I was not disappointed! Morrison had a finisher reversed as he attempted a jump from the Turnbuckle, and as crawled desperately to Kofi to make the tag, Riley did the same. Kofi was tagged in at the same time as Otunga, and boy did sparks fly. Before I knew it, Kingston landed a TiP as Morrison leveled Riley, leaving way for the pin.

Rating: ***1/2, Kingston wins via pinfall

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Figured I had to post this since I can't get over what just happened. At Armageddon, Second City Saints and the Kings of Wrestling continue their fued in a 2 out of 3 falls, Hell in a Cell match. I controlled CM Punk. So about 10-12 minutes in Punk and Hero made their way to the top of the cell while Cesaro and Cabana battled in the ring. After a couple minutes, Cesaro hit a Riccola Bomb in the ring to score the first fall on Cabana. Less than a minute later I hit a GTS on Hero to score the second fall. After a little longer exchange, Hero got a finisher and hit Hero's Welcome on me. He would have had the match won, but we went through the top of the cage. Luckily Cabana was able to stop a pin attempt. Now around 20-25 minutes I ended up with a finisher. Locked Cesaro in the Anaconda Vice, Hero was on his way to break it up. Cabana hits a flying elbow to stop it and Cesaro taps out. The Second City Saints retain!
