The Reverend Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Due to this Lockdown lark, I've been going through the monthly WWF review shows from the 80's on Youtube. As we all know wrestling is pretty much recycled ideas, and watching these videos it had me thinking which ideas could be re-used these days. Considering most fans these days haven't been watching for very long, and probably don't have any inclination to watch older stuff, there's plenty of scope for a few old ideas to make a comeback. To kick things off I'll go with a heel ref like Danny Davis. This angle had a great build with Davis constantly helping the heels before finally aligning himself with the Hart Foundation. So which ideas would you like to see bought back?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I’d like to see MVP form a New Nation with Lashley, the Street Profits, Crews, Ricochet and Cedric Alexander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrasslin Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 There’s no way they’re doing a nation gimmick in the current climate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicazze Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Recycle the Marty Janetty, Shawn Michaels, Diesel story. Okay I know Diesel wasn't in it initially, but you get a popular tag team then have the turn. Whilst one is chasing the other, heel gets big massive bodyguard/enforcer. Keeps this for a year or 2, then Royal Rumble the year before the enforcer does really well sparking jealousy from the boss. By Survivor Series it implodes, Enforcer wins Royal Rumble to face the champ (his boss) at mania. So its a hybrid of Rockers, Evolution & Shawn Diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it Bobby Lashley's Mafia. Get the crowd too every time the ring announcer says BLM.  Hire me, Vince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briefcase Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I quite liked the Raw Roulette Bischoff used to do on Monday Night Raw. Wouldn't mind seeing that back when wrestling returns to normal, even if it's Bischoff himself spinning the wheel every now and then, could add things on there like 'Championship' match to give fresh/random opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regal as a showgirl! TLC! Triple H vs. D’Lo in a Blindfold match! Super. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 The Terry Funk vs Jerry Lawler Empty Arena match from Memphis in the early 80's would be a good one to revisit now with there being now crowd. Have it as a unsanctioned, grudge match. One challenges the other to a time and place. Don't care about a ref or camera, they just want to beat the shit out of each other until one man is left standing. Like with the Funk/Lawler match, they can have a camera crew there just hanging around on the off chance that they manage to capture some of it as the "match" is technically off the books and nothing to do with WWE.
