WWE Manual: Greg Bush's Idea Of How To Run A Successful Raw, Episode Four

(Note: If you didn't read my WWE Manual NWO article, you will be lost.)

Fireworks go off and we are ready to go.

Cole: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Monday Night Raw.

King: Cole, where's the excitement in your voice? I'm still pumped from the PPV! We have two new champions!

Cole: In case you didn't watch last night folks, Melina was decimated by the Masked Woman, who was in fact Candice Michelle. Candice is the new Woman's Champion

King: It's great to see that beautiful woman back in the ring holding the title.

Cole: Next, the World Heavyweight Championship changed hands as the Heart Break Kid defeated all five superstars in the Hellish structure last night.

(HBK's music starts to play)

King: Speak of the devil—

Shawn: Last night, I went through hell against a rapper, a masked man, a man from hell, a straight-edge superstar, and the newly charismatic Y2J to become World Heavyweight Champion! I have never felt more on top of the world than right now.

The question is, who will I face for the title at Wrestlemania 25? If Randy isn't too hurt from getting his ass whupd' all over the ring last night (crowd explodes), then maybe I'll face him. But what happens if the Legend Killer can't make it?

(Vince McMahon returns and comes out to cheers from the crowd)

Vince: Shawn, congratulations on your win. Now let's get down to business. Randy looks severely injured and might not be able to compete at Wrestlemania. What a shame...So what I've decided to do is have a battle royal tonight to determine your opponent at The Grandest Stage Of Them All.

Shawn: Sounds good to me Vince. But who's in it?

Vince: Good question. I actually brought down a list. Here they are:

John Cena

Bradshaw

Farooq

Ted Dibiase

Cody Rhodes

Tyson Kidd

CM Punk

Kane

Chris Jericho

JTG

Shad

Rey Mysterio

and the return of Christian Cage (Crowd Explodes and the stadium starts to shake)

Good luck Shawn

Back from commercial

Goldust is in the ring with his father.

Dusty: Cody!! Get out here now!!!

Cody Rhodes enters nonchalantly.

Cody: Yes father?

Dusty: Cody, what the hell is wrong with you? You hit your brother with a chair and tried to do the same to me! We are a family damn it!! We should be working with each other to take over the business!

Cody: Haha, I don't need either of you. Face it, you're a has been, and Dustin is a never was.

Goldust: Well you got your ass beat by a never was last night before you hit me with a chair!

Cody: It doesn't matter what you say boys, the fact is is that I am the future. You two are the past.

Dusty: Well, I can see into your future Cody.

Cody turns around. BAM! He is speared by...by...Goldberg!!!

Dusty: I tried to save you son. Now, it's War!!! Legacy vs the whole damn business!!!

King: I don't believe it Cole!! Goldberg is back with authority!

Cole: What a move made by Dusty bringing back Goldberg.

Diva's Triple Threat Match for No. 1 contendorship

King: Last night the beautiful Candice Michelle, who is joining us at ringside won the title. Who will she face for it though Cole?

Cole: Well, we have three challengers.

Jillian Hall makes her way down to the ring, followed by Mickie James, followed by Melina.

The match begins and Melina comes out with a bang. She takes out both Mickie and Jillian. She is fired up as she looks at the champion.

King: Boy, I can't blame anyone for looking at Candice Cole.

Cole: Keep it in your pants, King.

Melina turns around to a double clothesline. Mickie then turns on Jillian with a side kick to the stomach, followed by a Mickie T. 1..2..Melina breaks it up. Melina then tosses Mickie outside and picks up Jillian, but Jillian rolls her up and uses the ropes. 1...2...Melina kicks out and spears Jillian followed by the LDRDDT. 1...2...3

Melina turns around but Candice hits her with the belt. She turns around and poses, then walks off.

NWO Smackdown rebound

The Chamber comes up as we see Edge still holding the title. As Vickie raises her husbands hand The Big Show comes out and complains about how this is an outrage. Stephanie McMahon walks out and fires Vickie as GM. But who will replace Vickie?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Ric Flair has just been named the GM of Smackdown.

Dolph Zigler vs ???

We're back and Dolph Zigler is in the ring.

Dolph: In case you don't know me. My name is Dolph Zigler. I am an athlete who has no competition. Whoever I'm facing tonight has no chance. Dolph Zigler can't be beaten. Dolph Zigler is unstoppable. Dolph Zigler is........

Kizarny attacks Dolph. He has Dolph on the ground and applies some type of inverted Dragon Sleeper. He then picks him up and tosses him into the turnbuckle followed by a jumping knee to the throat. Dolph walks out and Kizarny grabs him and hits the Tallulah Belle. 1...2...3. Kizarny defeats Dolph Zigler.

Kizarny leaves and the arena goes dark. Then, there is red mist surrounding the ring. Dolph is still down when the Boogeyman comes out with a bag of worms. Wait, those aren't worms!! Those are Cockroaches!!!!!!!!!!!! Boogey stuffs the roaches down Dolph's throat and walks away.

Backstage, we see Shane talking to APA.

Shane: Boys, I know you both got cheated out of your match last night. I don't know what to tell you. Natalya is the reason you two lost.

Bradshaw: Don't worry about that little bitch. I've got a surprise for her next week. Right now, let's just celebrate the destruction of Randy Orton.

All three men drink beer.

King: How is APA not angry about what happened?

Cole: King, they lost the battle, but as for right now their winning the war.

Cryme Tyme enters the ring

Cryme Tyme vs The Colons

Shad: Okay, we are supposed to be fighting the other tag team champions, so let's get started.

The Colons enter the ring. Primo is jumping around while Carlito chews on an apple. The match begins. Carlito starts off against JTG. They grab each other but Carlito wins the test of strenght, tossing JTG into the corner. He then grabs his arm and tosses him to the other side of the ring. JTG gets up only to get knocked up by a dropkick. Carlito tosses JTG into the corner and tags his brother in. Primo knocks JTG into the middle of the ring and goes up top. He tries to missile dropkick JTG but he rolls out the way and tags in Shad

Shad boots Primo on his back and knocks Carlito of the ropes. He then sets up for G9 but Primo gets out and knocks the champions into each other. Primo runs at them and tries a cross body on Shad, but the big man catches Primo and slams him on the mat. They go for G9 again but while the ref is checking on Carlito, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder run in and hit the champs with two-by-fours.

Shad is knocked out. JTG is helping his partner up to his feet when Carlito comes in and hits the Backstabber. He tosses JTG out and Primo pins for the 1...2...3!

Return from commercial

Mike Knox is in the ring waiting for his opponent.

Mike Knox vs Ryan Braddock

Braddock enters the ring and attacks Knox. Knox is on the ground as Braddock starts to taunt. He then picks up Knox and tosses him into the ropes, but Knox boots him. Knox goes for the win quick with the Reverse STO (which I've dubbed the Knox driver) but Braddock gets out and hits a reverse DDT. He then gets up and waits for Knox.

When Knox gets up Braddock runs and hits him with a lariat. He goes for the pin but Knox kicks out. He picks him up but Knox bites his arm and then hits him with the Knox Driver. 1..2..3. Knox wins but Braddock gave him a run for his money. Knox walks off and Braddock leaves as we are watching Shawn Michaels in his locker room

Shawn is watching the NWO PPV again and as it shows him hitting Sweet Chin Music on Kane he laughs.

Battle Royal

All men except one is in the ring. They are waiting for the last man and he finally enters. Christian comes in to an arena of Captain Charisma/Instant Classic chants. Christian greets some fans and then enters the ring.

John Cena is with Cryme Tyme who just had a bad match as they size up Legacy. All three members are looking at them but APA takes them down to the ground. CM Punk is fighting Chris Jericho as Kane is all over Cryme Tyme.  John Cena is fighting off Rey Mysterio. Hi picks up Rey but Rey slips out and knocks him into the ropes. Farooq tosses Tyson Kidd outside as Bradshaw runs to clothesline Rey.

Rey ducks and Bradshaw takes out John Cena. Christian is on Dibiase but Cody tries to help him. That is, until Cryme Tyme picks up Rhodes and tosses him outside. Dibiase is all alone. Dibiase gets back up and ducks a Clothesline from Hell from Bradshaw and he eliminates himself.

Kane takes out CM Punk with a chokeslam over the rope, but the straight-edge superstar holds on. He hangs Kane's neck on the ropes and all the wrestlers try to toss the big man out, but he powers back and starts throwing punches.

We come back from commercial

Only Farooq, Kane, Rey, Jericho, and Christian are left.

Kane is fighting Rey and just manhandles the underdog. Rey almost gets tossed out but he catches Kane's head with his legs and they both get eliminated by Farooq.

Christian has Jericho set up for a Frog Splash. He attempts it but Jericho rolls out the way followed by a lionsault. He gets back up and sees Farooq running at him, but he ducks and Farooq is caught up on the ropes. Christian and Jericho get up and take out Farooq. It's just Y2J and Capt. Charisma left. Christian and Jericho are brawling but Jericho gets the better of it.

Jericho sets up for the Walls of Jericho but Christian reverses into a rollup. There's no pins in the Battle Royal, so that's pointless.

Christian runs at Jericho but Jericho hits the Codebreaker. He tries to toss out Christian but Christian reverses. Both men are on the outside of the ropes as they are fighting for their lives. Chris Jericho low blows Christian and knocks him off for the win

The new No. 1 Contender...Chris Jericho!!!

Shawn sneaks up on the winner and kicks his teeth down his throat. The image we last see is Christian getting back in the ring and hitting the Unprettier on Jericho as we close the show.

This has been a Bushboy Inc. Production.
