"Masterpiece" Theatre - Remembering the past

[Sweeter n' even more Sour]

Decided to go ahead and post this part... so that tomorrow post actually has signficance.

So i was finally getting the groove of being GM of Smackdown, and decided that it was finally time to try something big. So after some deep thought... I got an idea and started to subtley build towards it. About a month in I sent out a couple key PMs with my plans and begged them to keep it hush hush. All parties agreed to it and they did just that, didn't say a word(at least as far as I know).

It all started with some typical GM holding back talent. Miz and Morrison were the most decorated team on smackdown, but Arn was not impressed. Even comparing them to his old team... the brainbusters. So every week he began to test them, and they seeked to prove themselves, which they did, making Arn more and more upset, and he would do anything to stop them.

This eventually led to a MizMo defeating Arn/Dean Malenko in a match for a chance at the Tag Team Championships... Which they won the following week(with controversy... which was actually intended).

At his wits end, Arn seeked the help from outside of smackdown. And he made two trades. One was for a guy who had just come off of three world title reigns earlier that year, and the man that ended the Undertakers wrestlemania Streak... Shawn Michaels. The other, as mentioned in the other thread, was for the guy who had been running ripshod on ECW... the bearded one himself... Mike Knox.

Arn paired these two together and immediately set up a match for them to face MizMo for the titles just a week after they had won them... under the stipulation that if Miz and Morrison lost... they would have to disband. But if they won, Arn Anderson would resign as General Manager.

This was the buildup and result of that match...



*to the ring where John Morrison and The Miz sit in directors chairs*

Hi, I'm John Morrison and I'm the only known cure for male hetrosexuality.

Really? You...?

No. We don't swing that way in the Palace of Wisdom. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

And I'm your chick magnet, THE MIZ!

And we wish to remind you all that light has shined through the darkness, clarity has been restored and we are once again your WWE tag team champions.

*the crowd boos*

Yes, it was a great injustice losing these belts in the first place. But everything is now as it should be.

And now we can focus on our next challengers.

And unlike the previous scrubs we've faced, people actually care about these guys. We they care about Shawn Michaels. Well they did about a few months ago. The point is these guys aren't completely useless!

And not only that, but we get to face actual stars. Not stars on our level but stars nonetheless.

What you talking 'bout, John?

Well take a look. First up we have Mike Knox also known as....Captain CAAAAAVEMAAAAAAANNNN!!!!



Unfortunately the nearest he gets to teen angels is when he hangs around his local high school.

Chris Hansen may want to talk to you. That's all we're saying.

As for Shawn Michaels, I especially enjoyed his work as the Crazy Old Man on The Simpsons.



Old Gray Mare just ain't what she used to be.

Neither is the Has Been Kid.

But you see we're actually excited to get a real team. A real thrown together team.

Unfortunately in life there are winners...

Us.

And there are losers.

You two after you fail to defeat the greatest team in ALL of WCWWE.

We will still be tag team champions and you will simply...

Be Jeal...



*Shawn Michaels and Mike Knox walk down and join Miz and Morrison in the ring.*

You guys are so funny. A joke about my age! Goodness gracious why didn't anyone else think of that. And Mike he has a beard! so you use a caveman joke! Do you right your own material? A career in Hollywood may be in your future if so.

Its jokes like me being old that made me quit WCWWE on Raw a few weeks ago. I realized they were right and I was too old for this company.....NAH! I didn't quit WCWWE I just needed an escape clause from Raw so I could come to Smackdown with Mike and we could take the WCWWE Tag Titles from you two.

When Shawn approached me with this idea I didn't know what to say. Him and I haven't got along since he superkicked me at Survivor Series 2006. But then I realized this man is a legend and it would be my honor to assist this man in destroying the two of you and taking your titles.

Mr. Anderson gave us a lucrative sum of money to defect here from our brands and do this and we aint gonna disappoint him guys. We will take your championship and dominate this brand as tag team champions.

So you can make your childish jokes about us but the fact is even just one of us has more talent than you and together we will beat you and we will take those titles.

*HBK and Knox walk away leaving Morrison and Miz standing in the ring looking peeved

WOW… add this with either the tag team of Miz and Morrison splitting up, or Arn Anderson losing his job… this match is really heating up!  

================

It is time for the MAIN EVENT... and it is for the WCWWE Tag Team Champions of WOOOOooooorld.

Ladies and gentlemen… I ask you… are you rrrrready? *some cheers*

I can’t hear you… I asked… ARE… YOU…. RRRRREADY!!!! *Louder cheers*

Then for the thousands in attendance and the millions watching at home….

LLLLLLLLLLETS GET RRREADY TO RUMBALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

First, making thier way to the ring....



Weighing in at a combined weight of 454 pounds...5-time Tag Team champions, and the REIGNING WCWWE Tag Team Champions... John Morrison and the Miz!!

And the ch…



*The announcer looks confused… Arn Anderson makes his way down to the ring and climbs in. He goes over to the ref and they go back and forth a little bit. Finally you can overhear…

Do what you are told or you’ll be looking for a new job.

*Defeated the ref leaves the ring. Arn goes over to the announcer and whispers something in his ear…*

Ladies and gentlemen, you special guest referee for this match… Our very own Smackdown General Manager… Arn Anderson!

*Miz and Morrison are beside themselves as Arn peers over to them smiling*

This is really not fair! Arn Anderson is WAY overstepping his bounds here! He must really hate these guys! He just wants to keep his damn job, no matter what the cost!

And now…the challengers... first making his way to ring...





Weighing in at 293 pounds.... Former Hardcore champion…Mike Knox!


And his partner…





Weighing in at 225 pounds… 3-time WCWWE World Heavyweight champion…The Heatbreak Kid… Shawn Michaels!!!


Together they weigh in at 518 pounds and go by the name… Heart Break Knox!


The four of them stand in the middle of the ring staring each other down, and jabbing back and forth. Arn makes Miz and HBK head to the outside as Knox and Morrison stand nose to nose. After a few moments… both Miz and HBK come back in the ring and also stand nose to nose…



Then all of a sudden…






…







…





All four men shake hands!



HUH? What’s going on here?!?!



These four were suppose to be tearing each other apart! The crowd is in complete shock! They don’t know how to react to this! Arn can’t be happy right about now!

*Camera pans over to Arn, who has a total look of shock on his face as he watches the four shake hands. Then all four turn to Arn and walk over to him. Arn Anderson takes a big gulp and backs up into a corner. They all stand there peering down at Arn, then all of a sudden… Arn’s look of fear turns to a small smile! Then from a small smile to a big one! He sticks his hand out to Miz, who looks at a few moments… then HE SHAKES IT!! Then all four men follow suit shaking Arns hand and patting him on the back!

Arn walks over and asks for a microphone and the ring announcer hands him one. He walks back to the middle of the ring and addresses the crowd. *the crowd boos*

One year ago… the men standing in this ring before you…including myself… we were not part of the Smackdown roster. They each had success in their own right… Mike Knox… was the top superstar on ECW for nearly 3 months… Miz and Morrison… FIVE TIME Tag Team Champions… Shawn Michaels… THREE TIME WCWWE World Heavyweight Champion… These men did great things on their own. But will do much greater things together.

One thing was promised to everyone here tonight… The landscape of Smackdown is drastically changing... And everyone across the world is going to realize that it all started … here… tonight.




With that… I’d like to welcome you to the issuing in of new beginnings here on Smackdown… And the beginning…. of a NEW era….




*Arn Anderson drops the mic… looks right into the camera… lifts his hand…and shows four fingers. The others do the same*

OH MY GOD!!!

*Smackdown fades to a close*

Tomorrow: Their tron...

[El Sparto - MOD! MOD! MOD!]

I'm assuming you're planning to. . . but please say what happened in the New Horsemen storyline. Because the last page said that this would be a failed idea, but I have no clue how this couldn't be awesome.

[Sweeter n' even more Sour]

Riding on the high from last week, the four horsemen come out the following week to their new tron and deliver an impressive promo. Michaels and Knox go up against a team that didn't promo.. and... they lose. Trying to salvage the situation, I made it a DQ.

Then the next week, Michaels promos again and takes on the untaken Mr. Kennedy who does not have a promo... and loses. Miz and Morrison defend their titles againt the Colons, who at least promo, and lose. So, two weeks in, shawn is 0-2 and MizMo have lost the titles that they had already when joining the group.

Two weeks later, in a match to help set up aSurvivor Series 4 on 4 elimination match. It was a 3 on 3 w/managers. Albeit small, the horseman promo'd. The other team did not. Who won? The other team.

Survivor Series. I believe both writers for the horsemen had given up. Neither team had promos for the match. The result? The Horsemen lost, with three members of the other team still remaining.

There were some individual wins sprinkled here and there, but these are the key team matches. All lost.

Shortly thereafter, the group was disolved.


Though I can't find the direct quote, someone did ask why this happened, and was given the response below.

SPOILER: Click to show

When asked why people were so against the horsemen after being floored with their reveal, we were told of a situation over on WCTNA(which i was not a part of at the time and was unaware) where a faction was created with so many writers invovled that they were able to self vote wins they should not have had. It had gotten out of hand. So they were trying to prevent that from happening on smackdown as well(even though only two writers were actually involved), thus always voted against them. I don't know the validity of this, but I still remember reading it.

Edit: Found it.

SnS: Its not that I really care about who wins the matches for smackdown. But it appears as though some are TRYING to keep a storyline from working. Insomuch as they have always voted against a certain group(4 horsemen) reguardless of how much effort gets put in, and who they get matched up against. Its gotten to a point that I have one of the owners about ready to give up.

Response: Honestly I vote against the Horsemen because I fully expect them to win and end up running over everyone like the MEM did in WCTNA at first

Today's video is a promo video for the KOTR PPV main event.

To explain the whole fued would take way too long, as it spanned over four months.

The whole fued(including the video below) can be found here - Sadly, some of the images are no longer available... I may update it with some replacement images after this post.

It ended with Triple H vs. Randy Orton in the first ever Hell in a Cell match in WCWWE.

This was the promo video leading up to it.

Two for one today!

Ok... they were building to the same thing. And since this was a topic in fan edition today, figured now would be a good time to post it...

I decided to give WWCF a try. And in typical SnS fashion... i had to have proper buildup...


WWCF Promo

Three weeks later...

*Scene opens up in a Casino. Several shots are shown of people playing the slots, roulette, blackjack, and craps. The camera then zooms in on a poker table with a pile of chips in the center. A man lays down a flush, much to the dismay of the table. Everyone throws in their cards except for one man dressed in a black business suit, with no tie, and Ray Ban sunglasses. He leans in and turns over a full house, beating the flush. The man looks begins to pull in the chips then looks up at the camera.*

Ah, gambling. Gambling is my life. Although, the term ‘gambling’ means you are risking something for a potential reward. What most people don’t know, is that for me, ‘gambling’ is only truly gambling about 10% of the time. Sure there’s times when you’re back is up against a wall, and you become desperate to get back into the game and you take chances.

That other 90%? It is knowledge, it is cunning, and it is straight up being able to out play your opponent… be it a machine, the house, or any other human being. *gets up and starts walking towards the camera, as the camera pulls back. The man stops at various tables along the way*

It’s about knowing the best time to strike to get the most out of each hand… *lays down some money on a blackjack table* Blackjack! We have a winner!

… out of each throw of the dice… *throws dice* 7!!! A winner!

… out of each pull of a lever… *pulls the handle of a slot machine. 3 Bars. The machine starts going off*

… out of each spin of the wheel… *puts a stack of chips on the Green 0*

You have to stay calm, you have to stay cool, you have to believe that you are already a winner before even starting. And if for some reason something doesn’t go your way…

Red 14!! *Man looks back at some big men in some suits. They rush over and take man running the roulette table away and out the side door. Another man walks over, grabs the ball and places it on the Green 0*

We have a winner!

…make it go your way.

My name is Sweet ‘n Sour. And WWCF is my next stop, and be ready… cause I’m going all in.

Even got a WWCF blog entry complete with moveset and entrance mannerisms -- wwcf-efed.blogspot.com/2009/10/sweet-n-sour.html

Sadly, within a week I was already put off with how the fed ran and lost interest. Never had a match(to my knowledge), and never did another promo. Too bad, I really liked the gimmick.

[Deleted]

Pretty sure you joined at a time when I wasn't booking new people until they told me to. So unless I'm mistaken, you never had a match.

Just in case you were posting that thinking I was blaming anyone, I wasn't.

When I found out that we were to be doing promos against each other all week, and that votes were going to be done before anyone saw what you were doing for the show itself, i knew right away that it was not for me.

Today... I post something I meant to post before the KotR promo... This was Randy Orton's tron leading into the match. I wanted something a little more demonic given what he had been doing at the time.

Fun fact... i created trons for 10-11 different superstars who went on to become WCWWE/Fan Edition World Champion... this was one of them. Not bad considering there have only been 24 total. Nearly half have used my services.

Today's video was for another e-fed that I also believe never got off the ground, WCWCW. Tank shot me a PM to help him set up a tron for his would-be selection.

Coming up... more unlocked from the vault of failed ideas as Smackdown GM!

[Sweeter n' even more Sour]

It had been a while since I had tried to shake things up on smackdown... so I got another hairbrained idea.

Stephanie McMahon(smackdown gm):
And now for my last bit of business to deal with. Last week I got a phone call that a certain tag team was unhappy that I did not place them in the tag team tournament. Though they still have not revealed themselves to me, they are threatening to press legal charges against me, Smackdown, and the entire WCWWE.

They were suppose to meet me here this week, but I have yet to hear anything, and I tire of waiting. So whoever you are… get out here right now so we can settle this!



…


…


…


A man dressed in a very expensive looking business suit walks out, with papers and a mic in hand.

Ms. Stephanie McMahon. We didn’t want to have to do this in public, but we’ll do it your way.

You are correct with one thing… My clients ARE unhappy…

But let me clarify a few other things… they are not threatening of taking legal action… they ARE taking legal action… *he gets booed as he waves the papers in the air* And in doing so, I have advised them not to talk with anyone without myself present, and at a designated point in time. There is a time and place to do this, and here and now is not the time. So no, this will not be settled tonight…things are just getting started, and they are about to get a lot worse for you.

But… tonight is not a complete loss for you Ms. McMahon. You ARE within your legal right to know who is pressing charges against you. And they are here with me… tonight…

The Bella Twins are the ones pressing legal charges!? What are they thinking!?

Few more weeks of buildup, the bellas got added to the now six team match... started off strong eliminating the colons... then were promptly eliminated afterwards.


They were back fighting in the women's division the next week. *Shrugs*

[Sweeter n' even more Sour]

The next video is a bit of an oddity. AA and I were talking about the date 9/9/9 (september 09, 2009), and the fact that there was actually a show that day. AA wanted to do something big and asked for the following video to be made.



9/9/9 came... and it went. 09/16/09 came by, and the day of the show, AA asked me to create another one with the current date in it. I was not able to create the video in time for the show, so there was no mention of it. To this date, I'm not real sure what the plan was... but it definately never happened.

[Sweeter n' even more Sour]

Not much to say with this one. I was trying to make Carlito much more threatening by changing his theme to his updated theme that WWE never pulled the trigger on.


Carlito Titantron WCWWE (Que Soy Yo) August 27, 2009 11:59 AM

Tomorrow(since I wont be here friday), my own personal titantron for my most successful character to date.

On Monday... A tron for an idea I had that I was never able to execute. Eventually someone else "stole" my idea... even though they never knew I had the idea

On Wednesday, another tron for a guy I took... and another idea I had that someone else took later.

[Deleted]

I'm interested to see the two ideas that others did. I also won't be shocked if I'm one of the people who later took one of those ideas. Picking up other people's scraps is kinda my thing. Although after the Magnus fiasco, I've tried to stick with my own ideas.

[Sweeter n' even more Sour]

Today is the one man who I(along with bramah bull/Moderately Mediocre)was able to maintain(at the time) the longest title reign ever in WCWWE. He went on to win the very first Royal Rumble winner to be determined by our first ever pre-ppv voting system. He then went on to Wrestlemania and became World Heavyweight Champion. This also just happened to be my first ever HD video I was able to create.
