Watching the Undertaker documentaries, I honestly have no recollection of some of the matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeronimoJacksBeard Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) What examples are there of wrestlers coming up with stuff for other wrestlers - gimmicks, looks, moves, angles, matches, finishes? I've got: Pat Patterson with the Royal Rumble concept Scott Hall with the Sting 'Crow' look + transformation Hawk with Heel Doink for Matt Borne DDP suggesting Scott Hall shave the mo and grow out some stubble as the Diamond Studd Bruce Hart with the Hart Brothers feud, only for Bret to suggest Owen in the spot rather than Bruce Sure there was urban legend that Bret Hart got the sharpshooter from Konnan, not sure that's true mind Similarly Michael Hayes coming up with the Stunner for Stone Cold Bret Hart needing a neat pinning finish for a match and Chris Jericho suggesting and showing him the La Magistral Cradle Edited May 21, 2020 by GeronimoJacksBeard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some truth yes, at least according to an interview he did a few years back with Coach: Quote  According to Jericho, many wrestlers had nothing penciled in for the upcoming WrestleMania 21 pay-per-view, so the writing team came up with the idea of throwing them all together in a big ladder match. A unique idea, right? The primary concern that arose from this though was that there was nothing for them to battle for. Fortunately, Y2J had the solution to the problem. âIt was for WrestleMania, and there were a bunch of guys with nothing to do, and some pretty big names, Kane, Edge, Christian, [Chris] Benoit, Shelton Benjamin, who was getting a push at the time,â Jericho explained. â[WWE] didnât know what to do with us so they were trying to come up with a bunch of ideas. Then they said, âWell, maybe a multi [person] ladder match!â Brian said, âWell, thereâs nothing to go for.â And I said, âWhat if we went for a piece of paper, like a contract, where you would get a title match the next night?'â Vince McMahon was entirely on board and loved the concept, but he had only one demand. The original idea Jericho came up with was to have the victor be given a title shot the following night on Monday Night Raw. The CEO of WWE Vince McMahon was entirely on board and loved the concept of a ladder match where competitors fought for a contract leading to a future championship match, but he was insistent on only one demand. âThe contract for the world title shot must be kept inside of a briefcase, damn it!â Vince would later also revise Jerichoâs original idea stating that the winner would have a full year to make their move and cash in rather than have to cash in their contract the following night on Raw.  https://prowrestlingstories.com/pro-wrestling-stories/wwe-money-in-the-bank-history/  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
