Harmony 2nd best question in this thread yet. Okay, here it is: My Dream World Wrestling Entertainment PPV Featuring Starts Past & Presents In Their Prime "Stone Cold" Steve Austin Vs. The Rock Hulk Hogan Vs. The Undertaker Shawn Michaels Vs. Triple H Ric Flair Vs. Mr. Perfect The Brainbusters w/Bobby Heenan Vs. The Redneck Wrecking Crew John Bradshaw Layfield & Ron Simmons Vs. Money, Inc (Ted DiBiasie & I.R.S.) Booker T. Vs. Scott Steiner "Rowdy" Roddy Piper Vs. Mr. Kennedy Brock Lesnar Vs. Batista Y2J Chris Jericho Vs. Bill Goldberg Eddie Guerrero Vs. Chris Benoit There's so many more matches I could name but I think THAT would make my dream card, impossible to happen no matter what era of wrestling you're in. TAPS Five Things To Make WWE A Better Product: 1.) Take Away Some of Triple H's Power. His Backstage Influence has gotten so much worse the past few months. It's back to where it was in 2003. 2.) Give Ken Kennedy a legit program and a legit push. Other people have been punished because of steroids and scandals, but not the way Kennedy has. He went from near certified Main Eventer to Shawn Michaels' bitch. He's the next big thing. 3.) Cancel ECW. Bring back just two shows. Send half the talent to RAW, half the talent to SD. I could see this happening at the Draft Lottery this June. 4.) Brand Differentiality. Have Vince McMahon appear on all three brands equally and not just RAW. Either make the General Managers seem important so it seems like we have different "choices" to watch in wrestling. All these crossovers are ridiculous. 5.) Make Dusty Rhodes & Michael Hayes the head writers of the WWE, working only under Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon. I know they head up respective brands, but let them write for all of WWE. Five Things To Make TNA A Better Product: 1.) Fire Vince Russo 2.) Fire Dutch Mantel 3.) Sit Kurt Angle down and take away his influence. 4.) Release Sting. Use the money they're paying him to do nothing and spend it on legitimate advertisement. 5.) Stop worrying about trying to bury the WWE and hire ex-WWE employes and "flavor of the month" pop culture stars and worry about promoting yourself. Whore yourself out like WCW did. A monthly commercial on local cable providers wont do shit to make people buy Against All Odds. I guarantee you half of wrestling fans dont even realize TNA has a PPV this weekend. And I bet you another portion of wrestling fans have NO clue TNA even exsists. |

I know you don't want to answer this, but I think it'd be interesting. You're told that Undertaker will lose at WrestleMania 25 and Undertaker says that if he doesn't lose he will kill himself. You get to book how it happens, who it happens against, and the entire buildup starting anytime after WrestleMania 24. Book it. |

DM/SS I would not, could not bring back the Cruiserweight Title. Not in the WWE. There's no point. No mater how great of talent they have in the WWE, they never get used right, and quite frankly, I don't the WWE is the place to have Crusierweights. The only "Crusier" to ever get pushed and make a legit run in the WWE is Rey Mysterio and that back fired because he's slowly starting to get X-Pac heat. N-Zone Well, if I was in charge, I would've done a little bit more to make ECW a legit brand, so I would give them tag titles and a secondary title, as well as a little bit more feasiable of a roster than the joke of a roster they have now. (What's it down to now, 12 including the divas?) The rest of the situation, I like. It's even on Raw & SD! with a World Title, a midcard title and a tag title. The women's title belongs on RAW and it's ashame Victoria, perhaps the 2nd best Women's Wrestler in the WWE, isn't on RAW, for some unknown, odd, odd reason. I'd put her back on RAW. But other than that, I think things are fine with the way the titles are right now. CM Pyro I'd have it start out after WrestleMania. Kane finally snaps after facing big guy after big guy and saving the little guy, because we all know thats not Kane. He starts to go back to a split personality ordeal like he had during the May 19th deal, only no red lights and voice overs of MAY 19TH MAY 19TH MAY 19TH ITS HAPPENING AGAIN ITS HAPPENING AGAIN. I'd try and re-do the Fake Kane angle. Right around SummerSlam, give him a few months off after perhaps Paul Bearer sets Kane on fire again. Not in a corny effect type way. But like Kane's locker room blows up backstage one night and he's not seen for months on end. At the Royal Rumble, around entrant number 15 or so, have Kane's OLD music play, lights go out and everything. PYROS GO OFF and out comes the masked demonic Kane with a slightly new look, updated and more bad ass than his original red body suit and not as corny as the shit he wore right before he demasked. He runs through everyone in the Royal Rumble and wins, earning a title shot at WrestleMania. It doesn't matter what face he faces in the Main Event at Mania, but it has to be a face, and a big name face to really get the angle over. Make it a sick angle. Sort of like the shit Taker did in '98/'99. Really demonic, really satanic, really demented and twisted type shit with Paul Bearer has his mouth piece. But let Kane speak, still. He can speak, he's got that voice about him, I'm telling you. The angle shows Kane playing all the parlor tricks and mind games in the world to fuck with the champion, but no matter how fucked the champ gets, he keeps coming back. Cena could work for this. In the end, at Mania, Kane's power is just too much for Cena to over come and Kane is your new WWE Champion at WrestleMania XXV. Expo Because this is such a difficult topic for me to discuss, I will NOT book it, but if it had to happen, here's what I would want as a fan: From Backlash to No Way Out, on TV and on PPV, Taker faces his past WrestleMania opponents, those who are alive/can still wrestle. The object? Vince McMahon's ended the career of Flair, now he wants to end the streak of Taker. He starts bringing back people from Taker's WrestleMania past to end him before WrestleMania even comes. Let's just say it's a perfect world. If not matches, he has showdowns/promo time. The ones that cant wrestle get someone to wrestle for them as they manage. Jimmy Snuka and Jake Roberts can get someone to manage. Instead of Giant Gonzales, Harvey Whimpleman comes out and says theres another giant he's got who wants to give Taker another go around, he brings out Great Khali. Ted DiBiasie comes out with either King Kong Bundy OR cuts a promo on Taker and then brings out Matt Striker and Big Daddy V. If it were possible, get Kevin Nash to come back to wrestle Taker, or at least cut a promo on him. Sid would kill for this oppurtunity and have Sid take on Taker. The Big Show comes in does battle with Taker, same goes for Mark Henry, they can definietely be TV matches instead of PPV. Ric Flair manages Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista to confront Undertaker in an Evolution type ordeal, once again, its a perfect world in this scenario, and Evolution reunited. This happens at a PPV. Now, mind you, throughout this time, you also bring back some of the other people in Taker's past that he didn't neccesarily face at Mania. These people can, once again perfect world, allign with him, help him out, or at least show support by rallying against Vince. Bring in Hogan, Austin, Foley, etc. At No Way Out, Kane and Undertaker would battle each other for one last time. Now, here's the catch. Taker loses most of those above mentioned matches. He loses very few of those matches. Make it shocking when he does lose. Two definites: He should lose against Evolution, he should win against Kane. The rest are toss up. After No WaY Out, Taker tells Vince he's beaten everyone once, and he's beaten them all again. The first time was fun, this time was to prove a point. He's been dead two times before and no matter what Vince does, it's not going to happen again. Vince says how the 3rd time's the charm at WrestleMania, the Undertaker will go one on one against an opponent that the Undertaker has NEVER BEATEN BEFORE IN HIS CAREER...AND THAT OPPONENT IS VINCENT KENNEDY MACMAHON IN A CASKET MATCH. At WrestleMania, Taker dominates the entire match, whops McMahon's ass, much like every WrestleMania McMahon opponent. However, McMahon's goons, heels Taker's faced at previous WrestleManis all come to McMahon's aid. Mark Henry, Big Daddy V, Kane, Great Khali, etc., they all come out and put an end to the Undertaker, letting Vince McMahon get the win by putting Undertaker in the casket that got into the middle of the ring during the match. After Vince is carried out by his minions, the lights flash and lighting and thunder rolls. It "rains" in the entire arena. It's an awe striking scene. The Undertaker's voice is heard over the loud speakers of the arena, apparently speaking from beyond the grave. He addresses the fans in character for one final time. The lights go out and finally the casket dissapears. After the lights are back on for a little bit, the gong rings three final times. And that is the end. |

Alright Big!! My turn! 1- Superpowers vs The Horsemen- Smart move to push Nakita Koloff as a face or did it sink his career? 2- Howabout an opinion on the following deceased stars Eddie Gilbert Curt Hennig Rick Rude Kerry Von Erich Chris Adams 3- It's 1980's and Hulk goes down with an injury from attempting an actual wrestling hold, who do you make Champ in his place out of Orndorff, Piper, Rude, Hennig, DiBiase. Steamboat, or Kerry Von Erich? 4- Could Shane Douglas have made it in the WWF if given an opportunity. (Not the Dean The F-ing Franchise!) 5- Eliminators, RVD/Sabu, Dudleys, Sandman/Dreamer, Pitbulls, Gangstas- who was ECW's best Tag Team? |

We've seen MMA guys come into the WWE and do somewhat well and it seems now that we're seeing more WWE guys go to MMA and do fairly well. In your opinion, does the WWE need to cash in on the growing MMA trend by either A: Bringing in a former UFC/Pride fighter and train him to become the next big WWE superstar? Or B: Create a MMA type gimmick that could go over very well with the fans? You know, Blackman Style. |

Midnite Raven Great, great questions here. The type of stuff I'm talking about. 1.) Horrible move. Horrible, horrible move. With Ivan playing the mentor role and part-time tag team partner, Nikita Koloff was a great heel. He was green, but he was a great heel. He started to progress in all aspects. He WANTED to learn and he was learning. And then BAM. They think "oh we team him with the Road Warriors and Dusty Rhodes and Sting" and whomever else, and that's going to get him over as a face. No. You're taking a man who was still a Soviet sympathsizer and making him face? in the south? Come on. Nikkolai Volkoff was walking around with the AMERICAN FLAG at one point and was still getting booed. It was an era where you couldn't get a Russian over as a face, and quite frankly, it's rare to get any country gimmicks over as faces. Overall, horrid move. 2.) Being a loyal ECW fan, I'm torn on Eddie Gilbert. For being one of the original visionaries of Eastern Championship Wrestling, I respect him. As a human being, not his biggest fan. I wasn't thrilled with what he did to Tod Gordon and eventually Paul Heyman, but I guess that's just business in the world of wrestling. He was a decent wrestler with an overplayed gimmick, he wasn't a hall of famer, but I guess he was okay. Curt Henning was one of my all-time, top ten favorites in wrestling history. HE, not Honkytonk Man, was the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all-time. He came back in 2002 and put on the best performance in the Royal Rumble and damnit he was OOOOOVER and they shoulda ran with it and didn't. The day he died was one of the saddest, saddest days in wrestling history for me as the wrestling world lost one of it's best and one of my favorites. I was always a Rick Rude mark. If he wasn't such a prick irl (as I've heard stories about), he would be the precursor to the Undertaker (not the gimmick). He was a backstage leader, he was a ring general. He could tell a fucking story before the match even got under way. He was good on the mic, for being roided up he was great in the ring. He was one of the top I'd say 5 heels in the WWE in the late 80's early 90's. Another great man lost way before his time. Once again, his screwing over ECW then WWF to go back to WCW in '97 while epic in timing was horrible in my opinion as a fan. Never a big fan of the Von Erichs or Kerry. It's a damn shame about that family's history and legacy and what's happened to them. He was a great talent and he had a long career ahead of him in the WWF. They had pushed him to the IC belt in no time and then he offed himself. I really don't have that much to say about him to be honest with you. I don't know much about "Gentlemen" Chris Adams aside from what I've read about him in Steve Austin's book, so I can't really comment on him either. Man :(. 3.) Henning wasn't too big in WWF in the 80's and I don't even think Kerry was in the WWF til 1990. If you want to make a great business move, you give it to Piper with Piper being heel. Of course, you have to be more specific. If this was 1984 - 1986, then I'd say give it to Piper because he was the hottest heel the wrestling business has ever, ever seen. If it was around 88, 89, I'd say give it to DiBiasie or Rick Rude. Having one of those uberly over heels win the WWF Title and then having Hogan chase for it when he returned is a simple logic and formula but would be epic. If they wanted to keep it on a big time face, have Steamboat win a battle royal or tournament. I'll answer the rest when I get home I gotta jet! |

I'm going to hit the sticky wicket option as it were. I realise most of you with penises hate women's wrestling, BUT if you had your pick of the crop of today's female wrestlers from ANY promotion, be it WWE, TNA or the indies, who would you have to create the perfect Women's division? |

Midnite Raven cont'd 4.) Could Shane Douglas have made it in the WWE? Well, let me ask you a question in return, does a bear shit in the woods? ABSOLUTELY. Shane Douglas is one of the most underrated talents of all-time. He was Triple H and Jeff Jarrett before they were big, and he did it better than they ever have in my opinion. He was a part of the glue that held ECW together for so long and he feuded with EVERYBODY from New Jack and Mikey Whipwreck to Sandman and Tommy Dreamer. Never had a dull feud. He had what he calls "White Heat". He was such a hot heel in the 90's, it was ridiculous. WWE dropped the ball with him big time. Grant it, his attitude problems mixed with the backstage politics of the KLIQ didn't help his cause one bit. BUT, in a perfect world (seems to be a recurring theme in my answers), he would've been one of the top 3 heels in wrestling and WWE history and would probably still be headlining in the WWE today. 5.) The Dudley Boys. Is that even a serious question, bobo? Honestly. I'll go out on a limb and say the Dudley's are the third greatest tag team of all-time behind the Andersons (Ole & Arn) and The Road Warriors. No tag team in ECW ever came close to comparing to the Dudleys. Public Enemy was a joke, and all the rest were barely around or barely made an impact. SoCal They've tried the Ultimate Fighting gimmick so many times. Dan Severn, fail. Steve Blackman, fail. Sylvester Terkay, ultimate fail. The only one that came even remotely close to being successful was Ken Shamrock and he only reached mild success if that, albeit being a great star who transitioned awesomely into a pro wrestler. Nobody will buy into an MMA gimmick because it's so similiar yet different, just for the fact that MMA is real, wrestling isn't, that's why the fans usually shit all over MMA type gimmicks. Not because they're against MMA, but because it's not REAL MMA. Am I saying it'll never work? No. WWE have gotten stranger things over. Hell, Paul Birchall was MEGA OVER as a fucking pirate. I could see a few UFC/MMA guys being GOOD superstars in wrestling, but nobody really wants to make that jump anymore because unlike the late 90's when the crossover was tried last time, this time it's reverse. MMA is way more popular than wrestling is right now. Chuck Lidell in a WWE ring would be amazing. Randy Couture would be awesome. Shit, Frank Mir vs. Chris Benoit could have been a DREAM match. But it'll never happen. Most MMA stars look down on wrestling, much like they've done to Brock. Harmony Let's say I pick FIFTEEN Women's Wrestlers, currently active within the past five years, to create the perfect, well balanced women's division. 1. Trish Stratus 2. Lita 3. Beth Pheonix 4. Mickie James 5. Awesome Kong 6. Gail Kim 7. ODB 8. Melina 9. Cheerleader Melissa 10. Candice Michelle 11. Jazz 12. Victoria 13. Maria Kanellis 14. Talia Madison 15. Jackie Moore Sorry for the delay in answers. Keep 'em coming! |

1. Everyone including WWE feels that Edge is undefeated at Wrestlemania yet it was in a match in which he did not win. How on earth is this possible? 2. Should WWE build Kane back up into a monster and give him a title run before he retires. If yes how would you book it. |

Chain 1. It's simple, really it is. He hasn't been PINNED or made to SUBMIT or COUNTED OUT or DQ'ed EVER at WrestleMania. Last year at the MITB, he was carted off before the match was over, so technically, he didn't lose. Infact, in a match like that, the record book will never say that Edge, Orton, CM Punk, Jeff & Matt, Booker T. or Finlay lost, it'll just say that Mr. Kennedy won because that's the way those type of matches work. 2. I booked a Kane angle a few posts back, Pyro asked the question. Nadvo As I explained back in the beginning of the topic, my time in WWE was absolutely great. My best story involved Dusty Rhodes and Arn Anderson, look back at I think the first page to see that story, it was absolutely epic. Some other cool stuff was just getting to meet so many of the people. I didn't get to directly work with too many "names", but getting to meet them and then, hey, on that off chance I got to work with them, it was a blessing. I was telling TAPS a story the other night. When Kennedy was coming back from injury in the summer, our production team was working on hype videos for him to be put on Dot Com. Well, needless to say, we were being rushed, we were just hit with the Benoit thing, and we weren't in the best of moods to work let alone do a video package where we kept having to hear "KENNNNEDY" 100000 times. So we submitted it to our supervisor who tweaked it a bit then submitted it to Jim Johnston who seemed to like it, or at least be ok with it. Jim has his meeting with Vince, he shows him the video and claimed to have "seen better things by 12 year olds on YouTube.". Now, how many people can say they've been put down by Vince McMahon? I was honored, to be honest. There was great communication there and it really WAS a great place to work and a dream job, it just wasn't the right time for me to be there for me personally which is why I opted not to stay when my internship was up in October. They said the door was always open for me to return there when I was ready, but I'd be surprised if they even remembered my name. Harmony I'd actually bring back the ECW Television Championship and put it on Elijah Burke. I'd have a tournament for it, a tournament that actually made it mean something, a tournament that featured stars from all three brands trying to get it because of it's history and since most all ECW TV Champs went on to be the greatest ECW Champs ever. Saint Simon That is a great question. Personally, I think Chris would've kept on the path he was going. I believe he was going to win the ECW Championship and feud with CM Punk over it for a few months. I think he would've gotten so much out of Punk, Elijah and Morrison just like he did with MVP. MVP is now a star because of Chris Benoit, and there's no denying that. Benoit MADE MVP. I think eventually, Benoit would've been brought back up to either RAW or SmackDown and stuck in the upper mid-card to Main Event. Wouldn't be surprised to have seen Benoit in one of the two Elimination Chamber matches this past Sunday, probably SmackDown's. Eddie would have won the World Championship that faithful night and went on to WrestleMania 22 to defend it against either Rey Rey or Randy Orton. I think the rest of '06 he would have dwindled in the upper midcard and in 2007 make a serious case for being a Main Eventer again, possibly even taking the Money in the Bank that went to Mr. Kennedy. Eddie could've gotten into some sort of storyline where he would cash in his MITB, lose the match, and keep stealing it back. That could've meant some ratings. Just like Benoit, I would've fully expected to see Eddie in one of the Elimination Chamber's this past Sunday, probably RAW's. |
