What are your ideas for storylines that would improve the product?

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:
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:

R-Truth promo:
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!
Abe slaps up Truth and grabs the mic:
Some 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 3: Abe reunites with the Primetime Players
Week 4: Truth, Primetime Players (with) Abe vs 3 random people

A masked man in all black comes to the ring and helps Abe's team wins. The masked man takes off his mask................................it's MVP!!! He grabs the mic.

MVP 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!
Week 5: Abe, MVP, Truth, Primetime Players are in the ring. Vince McMahon comes to the ring and cuts a promo:

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.
Abe: You really want to know......................*points at the titantron*

Long pause............long pause.........

HERE COMES THE MONEY!!!!

It's Shane McMahon! Vince looks traumatized and confused as Shane comes to the ramp to cut this promo:
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.
*Shane drops the mic, walks away as Vince McMahon still looks traumatized and speechless.

Boom. You can call them Most Valuable Players, Primetime Money, etc.

Orton turns heel based on the idea that WWE suspended him for violating the wellness policy (again). He starts going on a massive rampage attacking all of the clean cut do gooder babyfaces on the roster, his motivation being about how the WWE used to be a place where rock stars worked, but now the 'E is just a haven for politically correct muppets who do what they're told. Obviously him being a pro-drugs heel would make sense in WWE's current climate. Orton could also work in that whole 'no fucks given' middle finger to the crowd which would obviously lead to some sort of suspension in the angle, highlighting the overt political correctness that he's fighting against. Some new up and coming babyface would finally stop him, leading to a potential new star being created.

If that happened in the 90's he would probably be a face with RTC against him as heels. It's weird how perspectives change with time.

The MISSING THIRD HOUR

They have this story line about the 9 o clock to 10 o clock hour missing. Hornswoggle stole it, that silly little Mick gimp fuck!
Back to Two Hour RAW

THE MISSING RECAPS
RAW doesn't recap anything that it aired that night. Hornswoggle stole all the recaps! That little paddy wagon midget cunt!

Those are basically the only ways I'm going to watch RAW live on t.v. again.

I will accept the following 3 alternatives:

DEBUT AMBROSE
DEBUT AMBROSE

1. Del Rio versus Ricardo Rodriguez and Memo Montenegro : fratricidal feud for honor and redemption.

If WWE creatives were at least a little creative, they would use the fact that Alberto Del Rio, Ricardo Rodriguez and Memo Montenegro are related.

I can easily imagine one story about family's legacy, honor, brotherhood, treason, greed, dishonor, fear of failure, masks and their symbolics in lucha and finally redemption.


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)


We can even use a story prologue with one mysterious masked Chimaera randomly attacking luchadores (Sin Cara, Rey Mysterio, Hunico, Epico and even Del Rio) showing that RR sought recognition from Del Rio and introducing this character.

It's possible to use Hunico and Epico and to create one new tag team if they act as hitmen for Del Rio. At the end of the story (redemption), one short feud between them and the Rodriguez family would be awesome to finish the story.

But I am not a WWE creative ...



2. Antonio Cesaro versus Santino : a struggle for recognition versus a former friend and xenophobia.



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).

3. Vince gets old and sells WWE to one chinese-based businessman (secretly Shane). This storyline would need a lot of asian wrestlers and the creation of one WWE sponsored chinese pro-wrestling company. It's probably too costly, but it would help WWE to frankly enter into the chinese market and why not to get new wrestling styles (modern wushu oriented) and many asian prospects.

Hong Kong has already one pro-wrestling federation : http://www.youtube.com/user/HKWFofficalChannel and there are a lot of smaller ones in Mainland China.

Imagine if those guys (not wrestlers) become wrestlers ...

Some random diva gets called up from NXT to play a devious Punk-like character that provokes Daniel Bryan to break up team Hell No and address the problem that started this whole mess in the first place - AJ. Therefore, setting up an AJ vs. Bryan match that ends in a draw.

(if anybody is interested, I'll post details per request and request only)

Kane goes totally insane and reveals that putting the mask back on was all a ploy to make him marketable again. He takes his anger out on the entire roster and management, and embraces who he truly is over the course of several months, being driven more insane to the point that all human qualities he ever had are totally gone. Finally, after a long path of destruction only one person stands in his way - The Undertaker. They agree that they will have a match at Wrestlemania, on the condition that no matter what happens, it will be the last match either of them ever competes in. Kane wins, finally having proper revenge on Undertaker after all these years, and they disappear into urban legend.
 
#19 · (Edited)
I quite possibly would shed a tear or two there knowing that they were completely gone, I can stop watching WWE and never come back wouldn't bother me if they were gone or not but seeing them battle it out for the last time, KNOWING it was the last time or chance they will be wrestling on television would suck right in the feels. It would be more emotional than the "end of an era" match at WM.

On another possible storyline angle i would kill to see this (posted in rocky champ discussion on ppv board):
It was just running through my head tonight about Rocky at the Rumble, If CM Punk is still holding championship it would be smart money to put Austin as a guest referee just have it worked in there, with rocks historic rivalry with Austin and CM Punks remarks about Austin it would set up a nice "who's gonna win" for the casual fans as well as sell a shit ton of tickets. On top of that rock goes over ergo Austin "screwed" Punk Wrestlemania set up.

Overall I think it is a good time for the WWE to do some development on some of the superstars. I believe they should push some who is will to get into CM PUNK's face. Punk is really one of the main ones who have attitude about them, however thou every time I watch RAW I am waiting for Stone Cold or the Rock to walk out lol.

Punk maybe the heel, however someone or WWE in general should be using someone who can get under Punk's skin. They don't need a catch or an character image, it just needs to be some who has that look about them. Just get in the ring loss a few, win a few, however is of a strong character and presents.

I believe the story of Ryback should been along the lines of how Goldberg story unfolded. But my main annoyance is that his finisher is not that devastating. We know he is strong and explosive, but it is like putting a pistol on a tank. It doesnt look that great, but it is impressive how he can lift 3 guys on his back.

The main reason why I am talking about the bigger stars is because most of them are involved in story lines, so that is why I think it would be a good time for a lesser known star to step up to plate and give back some of the attitude. I think Tyson Kidd if given the opportunity could do this. Unfortantly with Punk out of the survivor series match, that could of been the best do this. Kidd in the match and wins by pinning Punk and that could give off a storyline. But that is what I think
 
#14 ·
Agree with this entirely apart from Tyson Kidd. Whilst he's fantastic in the ring, he doesn't have the mic skills to work a main event feud with Punk.

Punk needs a natural nemesis. He had one when he was doing his best in the world character as a face, when he was against Cena. Ryback was being built up perfectly for that role.
 
#17 ·
A - Properly capitalize on opportunities. Examples like Nexus and Summer of Punk could have been far bigger.

B - Use talent better. AKA actual storylines for people not feuding with John Cena.
 
#20 ·
Orton turns heel and Kofi gets a big face push similar to 2009. These two have a feud over world title leading up to WM, where Kofi finally wins the big one. During the feud they bring in some real-life stuff, like Orton causing Kofi's push to stop, etc.

Triple-H vs Vince feud for power that concludes in a 5 on 5 survivor series match.
 
#21 ·
Punk vs Triple H - this should have been the modern day Austin/McMahon, it should be an 'ongoing' feud always in the background and in fact theirs nothing wrong with turning the tables on it with 'The Boss' being the face and Punk being the 'Heel' you could always flip flop it IMO and it would work but with both always being at each others throats.

Does John Cena still have it? - Should have been an ongoing storyline for the 'Wrestling Calender year' with all his feuds keeping this theme and calls for 'embracing the hate' and so on with a 'will he wont' turn type deal.

Ryback's Rise - They've done this well, only thing I would have changed was not having him get his hands on Punk so much.

Midcard Faction for Dolph or Miz - helps get one of them over.

Unification Feuds/PPV - this is 1 or even 2 months worth of storyline that would be interesting, all the Champions unify.

I think that's atleast somethings they could have and should have had.
 
#23 ·
1. Bring in some of those indy guys in FCW to join a stable with Punk, Bryan, and Cesaro to try to take over the WWE and start a "Revolution" against the WWE made guys.

CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Antonio Cesaro, Kassuis Ohno, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose feud with John Cena, Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, The Miz(face turn), Rey Mysterio, Mick Foley, and The Rock making appearances.

2. Turn Randy Orton heel and give him the World title, turn Ziggler face to feud with him over it.

3. Give Alberto Del Rio the Intercontinental title and have him use his money that he supposedly has in order to pay people off to win matches, coming out in expensive cars is not enough of a gimmick. He needs to buy his way to his destiny, so you can build him up this way until people care enough about him for him to go after main titles.

4. Give AJ Lee the Diva's championship and focus the diva's division around her. AJ Lee and Eve are the only divas the fans actually care about.

5. Make a new Nation of Domination type stable, with Mark Henry, Primetime Players, R-Truth, and a heel Theodore Long.

6. Give Swagger back the eagle suit.
 
#25 ·
Unify the World Heavyweight and WWE Championships. CM Punk is the new unified Champion declaring himself The Best in the World. Since the World Heavyweight Championship no longer exists, the SmackDown Money in the Bank can now go towards the WWE Championship. Dolph Ziggler turns face by cashing in the briefcase and challenging Punk to a match for the WWE Championship. Ziggler wins the title in a hard fought match.

John Cena wins the Intercontinental Championship. He successfully defends it for a few months, boosting its prestige back to pre-Attitude level before dropping the belt to Daniel Bryan.

  • Alberto Del Rio/JBL money alliance. ADR paying off camera men and fans to interfere on his behalf and hiring PTP (millions of dollars) as his hencemen.
  • Leo Kruger arrives to feud with Justin Gabriel. He knows a secret... (that Gabriel is really a woman, only joking!
  • Kofi Kingston/The Miz double turn.
  • Return of the Hall of Pain - with Henry targetting The Ryback, who is given a slightly different look upon return.
  • Dolph Ziggler (still a heel) and AJ (still a face) romance.
  • The MITB briefcase/contract is stolen.
  • Michael McGillicutty repacked as comedy character Joe Average.
  • R-Truth suffers amnesia; he believes he is the president of the USA.
  • Carlito returns to manage Primo and Epico.

Get sandow the fuck away from the bland cody rhodes before it ruins any momentum/heat that he had and get him the ic belt or even one of the two main belts, mark henry comes back to wreak havoc on all of wwe, taking the hall of pain to a new level and holding the whc for half a year at least. Id have john cena go on a swagger like run of defeats jobbing to the likes of the 3mbbaaaaaaaaby. And last but not least id have r truth back on his heel turn coz that shit was funny and in this pg world truth throwing juice over that dad was actually quite good and got him alot of heat. You're welcome!!!
