What are your ideas for storylines that would improve the product?
This past year, I have been a damn corporate sell out. Vince McMahon tells me that he wants to put Lil Jimmy on a shirt, and in order for that to happen, I have to be a good R-Truth. I have to be kid friendly. I have to tap dance and kiss ass. The truth is, my continuous call out of Lil Jimmy and the conspiracies in this company against me was too controversial because Linda McMahon was running for office. So I was forced to change my behavior or else I would be terminated from the company. A company that can't give me a raise, but can pour 90 million dollars into a failed election. Guess what Linda, guess what Vince? I voted Democrat. That's right, I voted against you. And as far as I'm concerned, the entire McMahon family can kiss my ass.
The next week (week 2) they replay R-Truth's promo. Truth comes out after and grabs the mic:They would never do/say some of the things I'm going to mention, but here it goes:
R-Truth heel turn:
R-Truth fails to win the US title, so he challenges Joey for the IC title. After losing clean, he loses his temper, but he doesn't turn on him. He asks for a rematch, he loses clean again. Truth snaps and beats the hell out of him, smoking another cigarette in the process (gotta calm his nerves ya'll).
Truth grabs the mic and cuts this promo:

Abe slaps up Truth and grabs the mic:The truth hurts doesn't it? And guess what? I'm not the only person that feels this way. I was able to pull some strings and I want to introduce everyone to my new manager......................Abraham Washington!
Week 3: Abe reunites with the Primetime PlayersSome of you may know this. Some of you may not. I was fired from WWE. In the Primetime Players match, I said that Titus O Neil was like Kobe Bryant at a hotel in Colorado. He's unstoppable. They fired me for that comment. The same company that exploits deaths, practices necrophilia and satanic sacrifices fired me for this? You know why I was fired? Because Linda McMahon was running for office so they didn't want anybody to say anything that might bring negative publicity to her precious campaign. Just like R-Truth, I voted against Linda to make sure she lost, and now that I'm back in WWE, I want to say this to the McMahons. You may have heard this last week from Truth......kiss my ass!
Week 5: Abe, MVP, Truth, Primetime Players are in the ring. Vince McMahon comes to the ring and cuts a promo:It's been two years since I've been away from this dump. Being away from this company was the best thing to happen in my life. Do you know why I left? They told me that they wanted me to change my image so that families who watch WWE can be encouraged by my story, and it would boost the company image. I was forced to be this corny overly joyful good guy that preached about being in prison and how I changed my life for the better. All for the sake of Linda McMahon's campaign. It disgusted me! I am a natural cocky son of a bitch. I am Montel Vontavious Porter. All I care about is money, women and cars. Oh, and you can best believe I style and profile harder than anyone in wrestling history. Including Ric Flair! Just like Truth, just like Abe. I voted against Linda in hopes she lost. Now that I'm back in WWE, Me, Truth, Abe, and the person that pulled the strings for myself and Abe to return are taking over!
Abe: You really want to know......................*points at the titantron*You want my attention? You got my attention god damn it. Who the hell brought you two morons back to my company? It wasn't me. It wasn't Triple H. It wasn't Stephanie. Tell me damn it. I will fire that person and then kick their ass.
*Shane drops the mic, walks away as Vince McMahon still looks traumatized and speechless.You look surprised Dad. You see, I stepped down as Executive Vice President of Global Media a couple years ago. I told you that I wanted to move on to bigger and better things. Which I did. But the truth is, I knew this company was going to become the biggest hypocrite in the world once my mother decided to run for office. And it did. Abe gets fired for a lighthearted comment. MVP and Truth were forced to be sellouts, you start a BE A STAR campaign when people are bullied all the time on WWE TV. The list goes on. So I stood up for what is right. You see, I may not be an executive officer in WWE anymore, but the name McMahon still carries weight around here and it was easy for me to convince the Board of Directors to re-instate these men. Oh, and one last thing dad. Even though I was on the podium with you, Stephanie and Hunter when Linda was making her concede speech, just like Abe, just like Truth, and just like MVP, I voted against her as well.
Turn the light on and imagine (of course the dialogue would have more spanish words on TV)
Del Rio is beating Ricardo in the ring for one cheating failure during one match. The poor guy is crying and betting his master to stop surprisingly calling him hermano (brother).
We suddendly hear Del Rio's music but with somebody else's pictures on the screen. One unknown man goes down the ramp and up into the ring. He took a microphone and speaks to Alberto ...
My brother, I thought you would change. I thought you would finally become one honorable man and stop deceiving our family. Stop this senseless beating and this senseless joke of your life.
Del Rio stops to beat Ricardo and looks at him surprised, almost afraid and in shock while Ricardo hides behind the new comer. The new comer looks at Ricardo and asks him to stop worrying.
Don't worry Ricardo your second brother is here.
He turns to Alberto
Alberto you are a shame for the family. You were supposed to protect and to help our younger brother and I see that you turned him into your own chihuaha ...
Del Rio tries to answer in spanish, he speaks quickly we can't understand anything. The new comer suddendly takes a lucha mask out of his pocket and holds it to him before to speak.
Older brother do you remember this mask ? Do you remember your own family ? Do you remember your honor ? You were La Escencia De La Excelencia. As good as our uncle, El Grande Mil Máscaras, and now you are just one angry dog hungry about wealth.
...
You were a member of our familly, you were a Rodriguez and you chose to change your name. You gave up your mask and you gave up your name. You are a shame for your blood and for all luchardores del Mexico.
...
I was sent here by our uncle, you lost your name and you lost your money. You are now disinherited and deprived from the family wealth.
Del Rio is confused and seems to begin to cry. He can't articulate a word and falls on his knees. The new comer throws down the mask in front of him and goes out of the ring with Ricardo, but stops at the entrance of the ramp and turns again to one crying Alberto left alone in the ring
Remember who you were my brother. You were a technicos, a good guy, one honest man.
The unknown wrestler and Ricardo leave the arena and begin one tag team career while Del Rio disappears in obscurity.
Five weeks later : we see Alberto Del Rio coming into the ring after one long absence. He holds a mask in his hand and begins to speak about his familly, his dreams about wrestling and about honor. He tells us that he wishes to avenge his honor and goes with his two brothers in one fratricidal feud.
...
This feud will last approximately twenty weeks full of great matches and finishes in one happy end when Del Rio's decides to save his brothers from another wrestler and to wear his mask again. The Rodriguez are now well established on WWE.
Alberto Rodriguez : tweener individual masked wrestler
Guillermo and Ricardo : tag team (unmasked or not)
If you wish to promote him the cheap way as a dominant and vicious hell, you can simply use Santino and Italy.
Let's turn the TV on
Cesaro enters the ring (with a swiss entrance, alphorns are mandatory) and begins a typical "swiss promo" about his greatness and his aim in WWE :
- "My family name is Cesaro and I will, like the great Caius Julius Ceasar, my ancestor, conquer WWE and be proud to tell triumphally Veni, Vidi, Vici. I saw, I went and I won. As you probably know I am not only European, but swiss. Yes Switzerland the best country in Europe. The perfect mix between France, Germany and Italy".
Santino arrives :
- "Oh you are Italian. Santa Madonna di Parma, I am Italian too. We are perhaps relatives ?".
Cesaro :
- I am not Italian (insert italian insult). I am swiss."
Santino :
- But your name is Italian and you speak italian.
Cesaro :
"insults Santino in italian, french, german, english and slowly gets mad".
...
Santino continues to annoy him about Italy and the link between Italy and Ticino (the italian part of Switzerland) until Cesaro suddendly jumps on him and begins to destroy the poor Santino. A few faces (let's say 8 wrestlers) quickly rush out of the locker room to stop him. Cesaro beat each other cleanly in a row and finish by one handicap situation fighting two wrestlers alone.
At the end, he finishes Santino with both the UFO and the awesome giant swing.
Next week and later
He decides to explain his action (pride, honor, shame of comedian wrestlers insulting pro-wrestling) and challenges any wrestler in the locker room to confront him. Ryback comes out and the match finished as a draw (yes a draw means no winner). Weeks after weeks Cesaro continues to challenge random wrestlers (faces and heels) and to win matches until a new challenger appears. Kassius "The king of KO" Ohno who comes out from the public and asks for one contract to make this arrogant *insult* shut up.
They begin a short feud (4 weeks) until one pivotal point when they have to ally against two jealous wrestlers trying to interfere (Ryback and Damien Sandow). We now have one tag team feud during 10 weeks : Cesaro and Kassius VS Sandow and Ryback with locker room vicious attacks and brainwashing (Sandow is a genius remember that), violence and blood (Ryback).
At the end of the feud we have two face well established wrestlers (Kassius and Cesaro) and two new heels (Ryback and Sandow) ready to begin a solo careers alongside mandatory tag team actions for KOW.
Cesaro should basically be one neutral selfish tweener, Kassius Ohno one face and Sandow, Ryback heels.
Gimmick
- Cesaro : Proud swiss wrestler, considering himself as the "crème de la crème", multilingual and highly intelligent. Fight for himself, for pleasure or for money (money addicted Swiss), selfish but always ready to help his new friend Kassius Ohno. His main motivations are glory and the need to prove that his tiny country isn't rubbish. He often acts as a mercenary for heels or faces (tweener). He is highly serious (Regeln sind Regeln) and can play face (high sense of justice and hates cheaters) or as a heel (selfish).
