BREAKING: PAUL HEYMAN OPENS MONDAY NIGHT RAW ON MTV WITH A SHOCKING MESSAGE A cold open sees Paul Heyman, the new creative leader of the WWF, come on screen to deliver a message to the crowd in attendance and the people watching at home. The message is as follows:
"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and tonight I stand before you as the voice of a revolution – a revolution that is about to take the World Wrestling Federation by storm. You see, change is inevitable in this business, and change is what keeps the blood pumping through the veins of sports entertainment. And tonight, my friends, I'm here to tell you that change is on the horizon, and it's a change that will redefine the very essence of what the World Wrestling Federation stands for. Over the course of over 50 years the World Wrestling Federation has been the marquee symbol of excellence of Sports Entertainment, we came off a fantastic WrestleMania headlined by two of the best wrestlers in this entire industry, Shawn Michaels toppled the Hitman Bret Hart in what was a 60 minute war. This is something that I've been working on with the former owner of the WWF Jim Crockett Jr., he wanted a change, and I'm giving him one. He might not like it, hell, our sponsors or the corporate suits above me on the food chain might not like it, but with the times changing, we must change as well. Tonight is the first night of an era that is defined by several things. We have officially closed the chapter of the New Generation, and have turned the page on the chapter of the WWF's new era, the new initiative. Gone are the days of black and white good versus evil that you see in Saturday morning cartoons. This era will be defined by many things...violence, determination, edge, anticipation, excitement, and last but not least...Attitude."

BREAKING: WWF WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP DEFENDED IN DEATHMATCH On FMW's 7th Anniversary Show on May 5th in Kawasaki Stadium, Shark Tsuchiya would defend the WWF Women's World Championship against former champ Megumi Kudo in a No Ropes Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch. This would gain a lot of notable buzz across the wrestling world, as this brutal match would see a bloody and battered Megumi Kudo win the championship back, defeating Shark Tsuchiya.

I really enjoy this timeline. The only complaint is the erratic amount of updates. Thanks, I appreciate it. I was at Dynamite last night and I got Christmas obligations coming up, so the updates are a little all over the place right now. |
