Bit of fantasy booking time. Except rather than booking your own promotion or what have you let's see what the UKFF has ideas for in rebooking a certain time frame (a year of PPV's, the run up to a Wrestlemania etc).

 

You can use any time frame you wish. 80's NWA, TNA, WCW, WWF/E, the Territories, (Rock 'n' Wrestling/Attitude era) for example.

 

Thread is inspired by watching my TNA comp tapes of TNA 2007 and thinking what a downturn the year was compared to 2006 in terms of quality. So I have decided to rebook the PPV's from Genesis 2006 up to Bound for Glory 2007 (still working on it though and will post later).

 

Go nuts muvvafuckurs.

I'm sure I'll do a lengthier one tomorrow or Thursday, but for now, here's the one that immediately comes to mind.

 

WWF, February-April 2000

 

Mick Foley stays retired, and WrestleMania is HHH vs The Rock, one on one. Big Show goes on holiday or something. Rock wins the title.

Wrestlemania XIX - Triple H doesn't take forever to pin Booker T, who kicks out and gives him a scissor kick. He follows this with three spin-a-roonies and a reading of the infamous "I have a dream" speech, before pinning Triple H with one finger to win the title.

 

After Wrestlemania, Booker steps onto the coach heading back to the hotel, spotting Hunter taking the last empty seat.

"Tell me you didn't just sit there," enquires the Bookman.

"What?"

"Tell me...you didn't just sit there?!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. T," says Hunter.

"Mr. T?! Are you being derogative, sucka?!" fumes Booker.

"N-n-no!"

"N-n-no what?!"

"N-n-no sir!" cries Triple H.

"Now that's what I thought!" says Booker, putting himself into Hunter's seat and making him stand for the entire coach journey.

Easy-2001-Vince pays Goldberg out of his Time Warner deal and begs him to sign, Austin v Goldberg=$$$$$$$

 

At most it would cost $1,000,000 to pay Goldbergs contract up? Would make double that on Goldberg being involved in the Invasion and finally squaring off against Austin

 

KERCHING!

With what finish?

 

Who cares? Would you have ordered the PPV with that main event in 2001?!

Yes, but if both of them are saying "I'm not losing to that bald cunt" it wouldn't get booked anyway. Plus, all the WCW big name contracts had the sort of perks and wages that would've upset the likes of Austin, Undertaker and Angle (main eventers of the company that didn't die) if WWF had honoured them. The only reason they had DDP is because he was a big enough fan that he took a massive pay cut just to get the opportunity to wrestle in the WWF -- if it wasn't for him wanting to be a WWF superstar, he'd have sat at home making stupid money for nothing like Goldberg and Nash did.

Fair point but it could have been resolved, otherwise how do you book Rock v Hogan the following year? Run in? Heel Turn? Epic where both men go all the way before eventually Austin/Goldberg passes out but never officially taps/loses? It was THE money match and with money thrown at it could have happened

If WWF had took on Goldberg's mental WCW contract, Austin would've probably had his big strop a lot sooner. Goldberg wasn't Floyd Mayweather coming in for a one off. If Vince had taken Goldberg on on his WCW wages, he'd have had to give comparable contracts (with the included raises and -- more importantly -- creative control etc) to Austin, Rock, Undertaker, Triple H, Angle, etc. The WWF didn't want to get into stupid contracts like WCW had. Those sort of contracts didn't turn out too well for WCW in the end.

I hear what your saying but if Vince wanted it enough then both Austin & Goldberg are smart enough to know that this match is money and has to happen, it was the match of the time, face of the brand v face of the brand, such a waste

But it's a match that was only ever feasible as a fantasy. It's not like Hogan vs Flair in 1992, where the dream match wrestlers were on the same roster. Austin vs Goldberg was never remotely possible as a real world match because of the stupid contracts WCW gave. The WWF could never take those contracts on, and Goldberg would've been stupid to wrestle for the WWF for less money than he'd make just sitting at home and getting paid the rest of his WCW deal.

But WWE could have just paid him up? Say he had $1,000,000 tops to sit and earn on that deal, they could have said here is the money we will pay this up and give you x amount then put you on a contract that reflects the top earners here in WWE, Austin earns x amount so heres the 1,000,000 it takes to get you out of that deal and heres another contract, there are always ways and means, the money that match could have earnt at that point would outway the outlay

ill re-book the whole John Cena- Wade Barrett feud, ill pick up at Survivor Series (the booking leading up to Hell in a Cell was good as was the Hell in a Cell PPV match and rest leading to Survivor Series) so...

 

Survivor Series 2010 Main Event

Randy Orton vs Wade Barrett- WWE Title Match- if Orton wins Cena is Fired form WWE, if Barrett wins Cena is Free from Nexus

match ends when Cena counts Barrett down and Orton retains

Winner- Randy Orton...therefore John Cena is Fired from the WWE, afterwards John Cena destroys the Nexus with a steel chair and smashes Barrett through the announce table with an AA, he signs off to the fans and waves goodbye to them as the show goes off the air

 

Raw the Next Night

Barrett complians that he got screwed at SS and demands a fair title shot vs Orton tonight, it is granted by the mystery GM but he ays it will be Barretts last title shot vs Orton.........later on John Cena comes out and gives his farewell speech, usual, he thanks the fans who love him and even those who hate him because its what made him the man he is today, he had to do the right thing at SS and even if it meant him giving up what he loves then so be it because he is a man of honour and nobodys puppet etc etc. he waves goodbye to the fans and as hes leaving he bumps into Wade Barrett who has security guards with him, Barrett says he hopes he can watch him become champion tonight and he will do one thing Cena loved to do and thats perfrom at Wrestlemania and Cena wont be able to anymore!.........Wade Barrett vs Randy Orton for the WWE title ends with Barrett becoming the new WWE champion and the show ends with him doing the Cena 'you cant see me' into the camera holding the WWE title!

 

over the next few weeks Barrett taunts the fans saying he has eliminated Cena for good and he will never be seen again etc, in several different angles he burns Cena T-Shirts, Hats, Wristbands, he brings out a mock John Cena and beats him up, several more angles to give him more Heat in the meantime the GM has given Randy Orton his rematch at the TLC PPV in a Chairs match which leads us to the Raw before the TLC PPV......

 

Raw Week before the TLC PPV

throughout the night the Nexus members are show unconscious in different parts of the building so Wade Barrett has to go to the ring alone for his contract signing with Randy Orton, the signing takes place but then on the Titan Tron Justin Gabriel is shown in the parking lot out cold and a John Cena T-Shirt covering his face, A Car is then shown speeding off out of the parking lot, Barrett flips and turns right into an RKO as the show ends

 

TLC PPV

Randy Orton vs Wade Barrett- WWE Title Chairs Match

match end when CM Punk helps Barrett retain title(leads into Punk-Orton feud), afterwards as Barrett is celebrating John Cena comes in from the crowd and attacks him, beats him up badly and hits an AA through 6 open chiars set up in the ring, Cena leaves, Miz then comes out and cashes in his Money and the Bank Briefcase and wins the WWE Title

 

Raw the next night

Wade Barrett is fuming about what John Cena did at the PPV but as much as he is devestated at losing the WWE title he knows he will have other chances and he says that he knows what Cena is trying to do by goading him into bringing him back so he can get 'revenge', Barrett says he will never bring him back no matter what Cena says or does!

 

over the next few weeks Cena turns up now and again and does such actions as Destroying Barretts Car, Trashing his Locker Room anything to goad him into bringing him back then the 2 weeks before the Royal Rumble Cena kidnaps Barrett and drives off with him, he takes him to a location and threatens him(trying to keep it PG but i need a good reason for him to bring him back) until Barrett gives in and says he will reinstate John Cena!.........the next week John Cena returns to Raw but Barrett comes out and says Cena is reinstated ONLY if he wins the 30 Man Royal Rumble Match as the Number One entrant!!

 

Royal Rumble PPV

Wade Barrett recaptures the WWE title in A Fatal 4 Way Match vs Punk, Orton and The Miz....

 

John Cena wins the 30 Man Royal Rumble Match as the Number One entrant, despite the Nexus' best attempts etc etc

 

Raw the Next Night

Wade Barrett says that he owns John Cenas Contract as he was the one who had power to bring him back etc and he owns him until he beats him to say otherwise so even tho hes pencilled in to face him at Wrestlemania, Cena will have to defned his Mania Title Shot in an Elimination Chamber match at the PPV!

 

over the next few weeks Barrett puts Cena in several matches in order to try and wear him down such as vs Kane, Mark Henry, Handicap Matches

 

Elimination Chamber PPV

Wade Barrett retains the WWE Title vs The Miz

 

John Cena defeats Randy Orton, CM Punk, Sheamus, John Morrison and Justin Gabriel in an Elimination Chamber Match

 

over the next few weeks Cena takes out all the Nexus Members and so its left One on One by the time Mania rolls around, the week before they have a Face to Face Interview going through the entire feud and get in eaqch others faces but no violence

 

Wrestlemania 27

John Cena vs Wade Barrett- WWE Title Match- if Cena wins he is free from Barrett for good once and for all

John Cena wins the title and celebrates as it goes off the air

 

 

so i know it mightnt be a popular choice as main event for Wrestlemania and we wouldnt have got Miz's BIG push and had Jerry Lawler involved in the WWE title scene( you could obviously fit the Rock in somehwere else as the guest host etc) but i really think WWE was onto something in that feud and could of extended it right through till Mania, Barrett was hated so much in this feud, Cena was getting fairly good Face reactions too, you created a new main eventer in Wade, Cena was the ultimate babyface with the odds stacked againt him, i dont like Cena at all but if the booking was right for him having to overcome the odds so many people wouldnt hate him as much.
