Book ECW

[Sharpy Snow]

You have taken over the reign's of ECW for 1 - 2 weeks.

You can't hire anyone else or make any trades. Your roster consist's of who is on the roster now. (You could start feud's with other roster's though.

And you still have only an hour of TV time.

But aside from these, you can do whatever the hell you want with it.

So here's the question:

For just 1-2 weeks, how would YOU book ECW in an attempt to gain more attention from the fans?

[EJS]

I'd wonder what kind of idiot hired me to a two week contract, then I'd come up with a bunch of ideas that are tweaked into garbage by Vince and the other bookers.

The same man who used up around 15-30 minutes of air time on Raw for a Rosie V Donald feud which mainly revolved around a Fudge Whale?

easy all matches extreme rules including an 8 man TV title tourney

[Error]

Since we have the PPV, I'll use it to.

ECW on Sci-Fi

Test attacks and destroys Lashley so bad it is decided that Lashley will not be able to defend the belt at the Royal Rumble. Thus Test will face the winner of an Extreme Fatal Four Way at the Rumble to determine the new ECW Champ.

C.M. Punk, Rob Van Dam, Kevin Thorne and Tommy Dreamer wrestle later that night and Dreamer gets the win after RVD hits the 5 Star but, can't make the pin.

Royal Rumble

Tommy brings up all he finds wrong with the brand. About how his blog is edited and how this isn't ECW but, tonight, that all changes.

Test faces Tommy Dreamer in an extreme rules match for the belt. Test dominates until RVD comes out and throws Dreamer a chair. Dreamer hits a chair shot on a distracted Test and one DDT later, Tommy Dreamer is your NEW ECW CHAMP!

RVD then comes in to celebrate with Dreamer but, blindsides him with a Van Daminator and hit a Van Terminator. He then tell Rebbecca that he is sick of being over looked and passed up because of his past mistakes and because he is an ECW original. He wont stop until the Best Wrestler on Earth (his new nickname) get the ECW Title. After he wins the Rumble, he will take the belt from Dreamer or whoever has it at WM.

RVD is in the final four of the Rumble when out of the crowd Dreamer attacks him and he is easy pray to be eliminated.

ECW on Sci FI

Striker, Test and RVD attack Tommy Dreamer and then he is saved by Punk and Sandman. It is announced that at Wrestlemania, the ECW Title will be defended in a Stairway to Hell match. The participants will be decided one every two week until there are 4 men in the match. The matches are shown and it set up

• RVD vs. CM Punk
• Sandman vs. Test
• Dreamer vs. Striker
• Lashley vs. Thorne

Now the new guy can take over and put whoever he wants out of them in the match.

Well...I do have to write a paper for history as well as finish Econ 202 homework so...why not?

EDIT: Crap! I forgot about the Rumble. Let's assume that Lashley retains for the Second show...

Show #1...

Replay of last week, Kelly is saved by Punk, POUNCE, RVD is pinned and Test hits Lashley with the title.

Joey and Tazz announce the Main Event of a triple threat tag team match. RVD & Sabu, Test & Knox, and Lashley & CM Punk.

1st match: Tommy Dreamer Vs. Shannon Moore
Tommy gets in some quick offense and starts to dominate the match. Suddenly, "The Alpha Male" Marquis Cor Van rushes the ring, catching Moore with a Pounce...period. Then he assaults Tommy with some power moves, before hitting another Pounce...period.

1st Interview: Marquis Cor Von
The Alpha Male declares that he is marking his territory and soon he will be in charge of ECW. Tommy Dreamer struggles to his feet, refusing to stay down. Monty snaps on him and locks on the Fujiwara Armbar as the first commercial break occurs.

Back from Break. "During Commercial" footage is shown of Dreamer getting up after his assault and refusing help to the back.

Backstage: The FBI is talking when Kevin Thorn and Ariel walk by. Tony Mamaluke shouts at Thorn and tells him that "The only Kiss of Death can be delivered by an Italian. Haven't you ever seen the Godfather?" Ariel hisses at Trinity, and Guido moves to separate the two, getting a suckerpunch from Thorn for his troubles. Mamaluke smacks Thorn and challenges him to a match next week. Accepted.

Match 2: Terkay and Burke Vs. Jobber McGee & Jobby McJobsalot
Quick squash won by Burke following "The Stroke." Afterwards, Sandman's music hits and everyone's favorite alcoholic comes to the ring. Burke grabs a microphone and says that if Sandman wants a rematch, he has to go through the "Manbear" first.

Match 3: Sylvester Terkay Vs. The Sandman
Terkay dominates most of the match with his size, allowing Sandman a few offensive moves. Sandman rolls out of the ring and decks Burke, causing the fiesty former boxer to complain to the ref. While this occurs, Sandman blasts Terkay with the Singapore Cane and hits the "White Russian Leg Sweep." The referee counts to three and next week Sandman faces Burke.

Interview #2: CM Punk
Punk thanks Lashley for choosing him as his partner and wishes Hardcore Holly well with his injury and tells him to get his arm better, because Punk doesn't want Holly to have an excuse to tapping to the Anaconda Vice.

Kelly Kelly comes out to dance, but stops when Knox comes out to "watch the show." He moves towards her in a threatening way, causing Punk to rush to her aid. Following Punk is Test, following Test is Lashley, and finally RVD & Sabu appear to jumpstart the main event.

Main Event. Sabu/RVD vs. Test/Knox vs. Lashley/Punk
RVD & Sabu do their normal stuff and the match eventually breaks loose into a free for all. Knox throws Punk out and spits at Kelly.

Test doesn't care and celebrates his victory by standing over Lashley, holding the belt.

Show 2...

Recap of last week.

Joey and Tazz announce Main Event of Lashley Vs. CM Punk for the World Title.

Interview #1: CM Punk
Punk announces that he did what he did to Lashley because Lashley is touted as an All-American. A hero. However, he is nothing, because Punk is Straight Edge and he isn't. (Cue heel Straight Edge promo)

Match #1: Marquis Cor Von Vs. Stevie Richards.
Squash. Afterwards, Tommy rushes the ring and the two brawl to the back. Hey, at least Stevie would be on TV.

Backstage: Test tells Knox that he doesn't care who wins between Punk and Lashley, because he knows he can beat either and Lashley's Rumble victory was a fluke.

Knox shrugs and asks him "If you could pick, who would you." Test smiles, laughs, and suddenly "gets a plan." Commercial.

Match 2: Knox vs. Shannon Moore
Knox dominates most for a clean win. (Gets him back in the ring to remind people of his moveset).

Match 3: Kevin Thorn Vs. Tony Mamaluke
Back and forth match. Thorn goes for the "Kiss of Death" but Mamaluke counters with a bulldog. In the end, Thorn wins with the Crucifix Bomb. Guido and Trinity help Tony to the back, Guido says that "This isn't finished."

The soft spoken, Hard hitting Lashley: "You call yourself Straight Edge, well I say...you're a bastard." Wait. No. Let's just go with a regular promo.

Match 4: Sandman Vs. Burke
Match never gets off the ground as Terkay blindsides Sandman and the two men give him a beatdown. Suddenly Sabu arrives to make the save, slinging chairs and bouncing off the ropes. Commercial as Sabu and Sandman strike there respective poses.

Main Event: Punk Vs Lashley
Kelly accompanies Punk to the ring. Near the end, Punk avoids the spear and puts Lashley in the Anaconda Vice. Lashley doesn't tap and drags both men to the ropes to break the move.

"Shockingly" Test rushes the ring with a chair, but Punk stops him and hits Test with the weapon. Punk turns and Lashley hits a spear...directly into the chair.

Both men go down, Punk holding his side in pain...Lashley basically out. Punk finally drags himself over, but Lashley kicks out. Test re-enters, but the ref cuts him off.

Kelly screams as Mike Knox jumps over a barrier, runs past her into the ring and picks up the chair. Lashley and Punk are both slowly getting up. Knox smashes Punk with the chair. And then Lashley. However, he drags and puts Lashley on top of Punk. 1-2-3.

Test grabs the belt and starts to do what he has the past two weeks, gloat over a fallen Lashley, but Lashley suddenly strikes upwards, driving the horse looking Hoss to the mat. The show ends with Lashley cleaning house and standing tall.

[4real]

Three things:

1. Put the title on RVD

2. Fire Test (no not a fire test, fire the wrestler called Test, the guy with the teeth who has no heat)

3. Fire Test

ECW on Sci-Fi Week 1:

The show opens up with Tazz and Test in the ring. Tazz asks the usual questions and announces that his attack last week on Lashley has worked and at the Royal Rumble, Lashley will defend the ECW World Title against Test. Test cuts a promo talking about how he's sick and tired of the lack of respect he's been receiving. Not from the fans mind you, but from the boys in the back. Tazz responds by discussing Test's interruptions in matches and general bad attitude. Test says he's heard what Tazz has been saying about him, mocks him and then levels him with a big boot.

Commercial break, recap, and Armstrong replaces Tazz on commentary.

Burke & Turkay face Sandman and Dreamer in a tag team match. The match quickly escalades quickly into a brawl. Burke enters illegaly, only to be clotheslined out of the ring by Dreamer. Dreamer and Turkay continue to brawl and as Turkay gets the upperhand, Burke pulls Sandman off the apron, allowing Turkay to get the pin. Sandman grabs the cane and begins caning Burke up the entrance ramp as Turkay finally realizes and gives chase.

Suddenly, a mammoth figure is seen through the crowd and it's none other than SNITSKY~! Joey and Armstrong question what a Raw guy is doing here and Snitsky hits the ring as Dreamer pushes himself to his feet, only to scooped and tossed out of the ring. Snitsky gets on the mic and asks the crowd if they're happy. He adds that thanks to dweebies like Dreamer... he doesn't have a spot in the Royal Rumble. He hypes himself up as the type of athlete who excels at throwing people around, when Dreamer hits the ring and begins throwing a flurry of shots at Snitsky, knocking him into the ropes. Dreamer then backs up and Cactus Clotheslines Snitsky over, managing to hold on and pull himself back into the ring. Snitsky lands on his feet and is enraged as Dreamer calls him back into the ring. Unfortunatley, security is there.

Ariel and Kevin Thorn watch from a TV with black roses littered around them. Ariel mentions how a match with the importance of the Royal Rumble makes men's blood boil with rage. Thorn smells the single red rose and says that's where he has the edge and that at the Royal Rumble, their rage will turn into their own bloodbath at his hands.

Commercial Break.

Styles announces that a certain champion from another brand has been talking about the lack of true competition and air time he's been receiving. Styles says he's not sure of the reasoning or even the truth behind it, but ECW has always been about competition so next week... CM Punk will face Gregory Helms in a non-title, 10 minute time limit matchup.

Kelly does her expose with special guest Trinity, only to be interrupted by Matt Striker, who berates the women. Trinity, with that Italian fire, gets in Striker's face, only to be pie-faced out of it. FBI hit the ring, but Striker shows some brains and exits stage left.

ME time: ECW's Last Chance Over The Top Elimination Match. The winner gets ECW's last spot in the Royal Rumble match up. It features FBI, Striker, Balls, Marquis Cor Van, Al Snow, Knox, Dupree, Moore and Richards. FBI quickly take out Striker, who repays the favor by distracting them long enough for Knox to eliminate them. The match quickly breaks down as Balls and Cor Van are left in the ring. After a brief scuffle, Cor Van pounces Balls over the top rope for the win.

Royal Rumble: Tazz is back on commentary and really puts across his hatred of Test's new attitude. Lashley and Test put on a good back and forth brawl. Struggling to put Lashley away, and after a ref bump, Test grabsthe ECW World Title. He swings and misses and a stiff clothesline from Lashley floors Test, who drops the title. The ref is up, but dazed as Test is to his feet. Lashley spears Test and goes for the cover and the bell rings. Confused, the ref points to the belt, as Lashley is DQ'ed for spearing Test onto the title. Test is slow to his feet, but before the ref can raise his hand, Lashley DOMINATES Test right onto the belt.

In the actual Rumble, nothing major to note. Punk eliminates Holly for a bit of payback. RVD and Sabu draw early numbers and after lasting a decent while, eliminate a bit of the fodder and begin brawling with each other, when they meet up with Kane. They try their hardest to eliminate the monster and look to do so when Taker hits the ring and the Brothers of Destruction manage to take out the ECW champs. Marquis is next in and suffers the same fate, as does another or two. Sandman hits the ring and glances down at his Singapore Cane and begins handing out shots to the two big men, who still manage to overpower and eliminate him.

ECW on Sci-Fi Week 2:

CM Punk vs. Helms kicks off the show. The two put on a solid opening match clinic. Punk looks for the win, when time runs up.

Commercial break and a recap of Punk asking Helms if he wants to finish this, but Helms ignores him and leaves arrogantly with his CW title.

Lashley, clutching some papers in his hand is in the back looking for Test.

Marquis makes quick work of Shannon Moore and cuts a promo afterwards saying that despite his Royal Rumble showing, he is still the Alpha Male of ECW.

Hardcore Holly defeats Balls Mahoney in a five-ish minute match.

Lashley still with papers, runs into Kelly Kelly and asks if she's seen Test. She says no, and says but he can see her. Lashley says not now and walks off.

Commercial break.

FBI are in the ring as Striker's music hits. He makes his way to the ring with a mic and stops near the ring, saying that earlier this week he agreed to a face FBI to settle their problem. However, he's not stupid like the fans or some of their precious ECW Originals who would try to fight the odds. Striker says he looked over the locker room for someone with the raw skills to team with him and who could also keep Trinity at bay. Kevin Thorn's music hits as he and Ariel make their way to the ring. FBI begin brawling with Striker, tossing him into the ring, as Striker quickly slides out. Thorn levels Mamaluke as Striker pulls Guido from the ring. Thorn begins mauling Mamaluke, who manages a brief flurry of offense, when he hits the ropes and is tripped up by Ariel, leading to the CATFIGHT~! on the floor. The camera cuts back to the ring as Thorn finishes off Mamaluke with the Dark Kiss for the victory.

Lashley asks Dreamer if he's seen Test, he hasn't. Tazz says it looks like Lashley is heading to the ring.

Commercial break.

Lashley is in the ring with the papers and cuts a promo calling Test out. He says he had Test beat at the Rumble, and all the fans knows it. But he knows Test enough to know that Test will still be breathing down his back. Lashley says that's fine with him, he's not hard to find. Test's music hits and he comes out with a mic. Test says that he doesn't care what Lashley or the fans think, because he could've gotten up from the spear, had it not been for him landing on the title. Test says if Lashley was so sure he had Test beat, then why was Test announced the winner? Lashley says that Test brought the belt into play and that after a meeting with Linda McMahon, and Test can forget about trying to attack Lashley, as a championship match has been booked for next week... also Test and he doesn't have to worry about DQ's, as this piece of paper specifies that next week... anything goes... Styles manages to quickly hype "Test vs. Lashley next week... Extreme Rules!"

[Byakugan]

Hardcore Holly becomes ECW champion and jobs out every last star

[The"threadicidal"bristolspapa]

I'll take a stab at it.

Week 1: 10pm Styles is addressing the rumors of a new GM. ECW will have a new GM. The only thing we know is that he has a penchant for taking small ideas and making them huge. The brass is hoping that he can do the same for ECW. Cut to some commotion in the back.

Test: Nice to meet you sir.
Me: How you doin?
Test: Not sure if you know this. I'm a big deal around here. I used to headline with HHH. Now I'm a top contender for the ECW title, which is why I wanted to talk to you.
Me: Look, I just got here. I saw the bookng sheet. I'm gonna make some changes. Unfortunately your match is next. Win that, and you'll get a title shot tonight.
Test: Tonight?
Me: You got it.

Match 1: 10:06 pm Test defeats Stephen Richards in 3 minutes.

Backstage segment at 10:10pm. RVD, Sabu, Punk and Lashley come to the GM's office.

Me: Hey guys. I wanted to talk to you. I saw the booking sheet, and I appreciate what the brass is trying to do by trying to show off as many stars to me as possible. RVD, Punk, and Lashley were sheduled to take on Holly, Thorne, and Knox. That does nothing for me. In fact it's time to right a wrong. Bear with me here Bobby. Sabu, you earned a spot in the elimination chamber, and you were screwed out that spot. Instead of that six man match, RVD and Punk will take on Holly and Knox. The two of you will face one another ina non-title bout. If Sabu wins, I'll see to it that he gets a title shot at the Rumble.

Lashley: What's in it for me if I win?

Me: You get to keep the ECW title.

Match 2 at 10:15 pm: RVD/Punk defeat Holly/Knox.

Backstage segment at 10:21 pm

Test: What the hell did you say?
Me: WHat?
Test: I won. I get my title shot.
Me: That you do.
Test: I don't want to risk the champ being hurt. You have him booked in the next match.
Me: I'm glad to see your concern for Lashley is genuine I'm a man of my word.

Match 3 at 10:25 pm Lashley defeats Sabu by pinfall when Test pushes Sabu off the turnbuckle while attempting his chair legdrop spot. Sabu is PISSED!

Back from break with a backstage segment at 10:36 pm

Lashley: You've been here less than an hour, and you're pissing off the champ. Not a sound strategy in this business.
Test walks in: You're welcome Bobby.
Me: Everyone cool it. Test go get ready for your title match. You'll need to be ready. You should have trusted me, and now I have the feeling that you'll be reeping what you sew. (Test walks out)
Me to Lashley: Do you trust me?
Lashley: Does it matter?
Me: Possibly not. Only one way to find out.

Match 4 at 10:38 pm Sandman/Dreamer defeat FBI in a no DQ match.

Macth 5 at 10:50 pm Test comes out for his title shot. The GM hits the ring and grabs the mic.

Me: I wanted to make this the best ECW ever. We saw new stars. We saw the originals in action. Now we seek to find out just who the future of ECW is.

Strange music hits. It's not Lashley's.

Me: The challenger. From the Animal Kingdom, Marquis Cor Von.

As I walk out of the ring, Test asks WTF is going on. As I go up the ramp, I announce that, "Oh I almost forgot to leave this briefcase. Inside is the belt you want so bad. This match is for the ECW Television Title!"

The match ends with Sabu lending a helping hand to crown a new TV champ.
