Victator Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Here is some fantasy booking bullshit that will never happen. Kevin Sullivan gets brought in as Grampa Wyatt. Nah. Kev's BAHSTIN accent would ruin the gimmick. I was considering that. It would be like the Varsity Club, the whole gag is none of them are related. It is a cult lead by Sullivan.

Newb82 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 All I've gotten from this past few pages is that wrestling fans will argue inanely with other wrestling fans about ANYTHING. No matter what: TIME TO ARGUE. It's really fucking tiresome. I remember the days when we would sit and admire pro wrestling. People on the internet in general will argue about anything.

JonnyLaw Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I think the Sting-Hogan double turn would have been interesting, if only to see how they tied it into the original Fake Sting, and Sting getting pissed that everyone thought he was aligned with the nWo. There would probably be a semi-believable way to pull off Sting being the behind the scenes leader of the nWo from the beginning, and the whole thing was a set up to discredit/destroy Hogan. Of course, it would also lead to Hogan destroying the nWo single-handedly, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I think it would work as how many of the key WCW players at the time were only defacto faces (Horsemen, DOD), or had spent a large amount of time as a heel (Luger, Giant, DDP). Eventually you have da numbers game turn against the NWO, and bring up how many of the lower card guys only joined the NWO as they were threatened into doing so, and see them jump ship at the first sign of the tide turning, and being real cowardly heels. You could even do the NWO split based on the true believers of the "for life" mantra vs. those who jumped ship. From there, you essentially do the Flair abuse of power angle from a year later, but without as many top guys on the injured list. I reckon it'd be kinda cool to continue the dynamic of Sting appearing from the rafters or under the ring and attacking guys as a heel, I don't think it's ever really been done before during the time of Monday nights to see the show end with this Jaws-like scene where the faces have no idea where this heel threat is going to come from. Of course, it'd be difficult to build up guys like Goldberg and Booker T as they did, but as heels, I'm sure they'd manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Speaking of wrestling fan perception: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/christopherlcooper/the-professional-wrestling-fan-a-documentary-film The Professional Wrestling Fan A Documentary Film by Christopher Cooper. Millions of people around the world watch professional wrestling every week. The common misconception is that professional wrestling fans are dumb, uneducated and immature. This simply isn't true and as far from the truth as you can get. They may look at you like YOU ARE dumb and CLEARLY uneducated when you repeatedly ask them if they know its FAKE but this film will help you understand why they have dedicated the bulk their lives to this particular form of entertainment. The Professional Wrestling Fan, A Documentary Film by Christopher L. Cooper in Association with The Nose Bleed Seats Entertainment is set to be released in January 2015.

Log Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 When will people learn that a camera and some editing software don't make you a fucking documentary filmmaker? That's a terrible idea for a documentary. Who gives a shit? All sorts of people oppressed in this world and some dude is worried about how wrestling fans are perceived? Fucking ridiculous. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Dave Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Now may not be the best time to bring this up, but for my advanced video projects class, I'm required to shoot a half hour to hour long pilot for a quiz show style game show. Is there anyone here in the Atlanta area who'd be up for a "Stump the Schwab" style wrestling quiz show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buy Me a Burrito Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I am about 2 or three hours outside of Atlanta. Might be able to make to make the drive down if you're in a bind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 There are a few where the slogans work perfectly for someone fighting cancer (with the Rise Above Cancer on the back) Henry's, Ziggler's, Sandow's and even The Miz's work really really well But yeah - there should be like a zillion Mark Henry shirts sold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Blue Sam Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 That's a really cool thing to do. I'm glad there is a PTP shirt there, I remember on NXT Titus wore special trunks in honour of Cancer Awareness Month, so its clearly a cause close to him. PWS just tweeted that Cody Rhodes will make his debut for them when his "no-compete" expires, which Cody acknowledged, so looks like he's being allowed to work a date to sell the angle.

cool arrow Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Isn't the standard WWE no-compete 90 days? Does anyone honestly think he won't be "back" in the company long before then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 As great as is it that WWE is doing this to help awareness for Breast Cancer, I hate that they work with the Susan G. Komen foundation as they are basically a big scam. Hardly any of the money they make goes to actual research for finding a cure, with a majority of the money going to their own internal branding. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Still feels weird to me that heels participate in the Breast Cancer stuff, but that's jut nitpicking. The good outweighs the bad for doing this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuttsy Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Chris Kanyon does the Mortis gimmick in the WWE on a handful of house shows and dark matches in August 2003. I don't believe he ever wrestled as Mortis on television but I could've sworn there is a picture of him in a new purple Mortis costume in the 2nd edition of the WWE Encylopedia. Can someone who has the book check on this and confirm or deny it? And if it is in fact there could you maybe snap a picture of it so I can see it? I'm interviewing one of the authors Brian Shields tomorrow and I want to cite it as an example for determining criteria of who gets in and who does it but I only have the first edition. Thanks! EDIT: Nevermind, found it. It wasn't in the book it's from an issue of Smackdown magazine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Casey Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Here is some fantasy booking bullshit that will never happen. Kevin Sullivan gets brought in as Grampa Wyatt. My fantasy booking for that is kinda similar. Bray Wyatt was taught the ways of the world by Sister Abigail. But who taught Sister Abigail? Jake "The Snake" Roberts, that's who. He's been talking about how he wants to be in the Rumble next year. This would be the perfect way to bring him back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 That'd be pretty great. The crowd wants to cheer for the Wyatts anyway, so why not give them Jake as their King Curtis Iaukea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
