The Amazing Rando

I was hoping somebody would do it... as I don't have the time. Use the rosters I have listed up there...they make the most sense and provide good opportunities... my big ideas were Matt Hardy, A-Train, and the WGTT as faces and Kidman & Tommy Dreamer as heels. Bring in a few OVWers as well for the weekend show... Dinsmore & Nova as starters and others can follow...

When he's having trouble with WWE (or Raw/SD if you want to think of it that way), he doesn't need WCW and ECW to deal with as well That would be 3 (or 4) brands to deal with at once... I don't care if the rosters are basically the same and just shuffled around...Fix what is broken FIRST...then expand on it. *sigh* will he ever learn...

You stayed in the realm of my first post... and alot of my ideas changed between then and now... The point system problems were adressed in there somewhere... I always liked the idea of a completely unknown Rumble...but that'll never happen. Hence why i'd like the SurSer to help choose 1 & 30. As for the "multiple guys at the same place in the standings" - yeah, if the Number 4 spot is many guys...then there could be a match... but after that... the team captains pick their partners... anyone they want.

Benoit vs. Angle - RR03

Okay...the Rumble concept was just a top of the head thing, nothing that I really care to see ... but just an idea. Again, nothing important. The women...yeah...I saw that there wasn't a very big group of females...I think they need to bring some in. If not, then just do one feud on the A Show and leave the others around to fill in spaces or put them on the house show circuit. About the "draw" thing... I saw it more as a way to punish the guy that made the draw happen... again... not a big deal with the draw thing, but it needs to have some affect on the rankings so that (scenario) if a guy was wrestling to move up in the ranks, he wouldn't want his friends to interfere and cost him that chance to move up, but at the same time the OTHER person wouldn't want a run-in or a draw because it would cost him points as well. Another thing I thought of...just now...would be talent that was exclusive to house shows. By this I mean that they put guys on the road and tell the viewing audience that these guys are wrestling on the tours and working there way onto TV. Give them promo time on the shows to say that they hope to be able to perform in front of the world soon, but enjoy the touring and see the fans and etc. This could be a good way to introduce some OVW guys to the masses, put them on little TV vignettes, and even (in the little house show reports that I mentioned) show them winning a few matches and getting some pops and showing themselves off and put them as a "new upcoming star" and if the GMs are still around, have them talk about 'giving the wrestler a shot' to get onto TV full time. The match wouldn't be for points, it would be for a spot. Fans may tune in to see if he makes it and if he doesn't... then he goes back to the house-show circuit to get another chance in a few weeks or whatever. If the GMs seem impressed with a wrestler and the wrestler shows it, then the fans are more apt to care. There are exceptions (Nathan Jones/Matt Morgan), but for the most part they could get "cult support" for these lower rung talents through the house show reports and through the little fan interview segments and then put them on TV full-time. If they flop...then put them back down on the circuit and use the flop as an angle for the character. Have the character say that he thought he was ready but now is more motivated to try even harder to gain the fan's respect. Always keep the fans in mind and mention them. It might be a cheap pop...but it helps.

i'm glad i was the first one here to mention an Eddie one... though I wouldn't want to see "Viva La Raza" ... People would hurt if I saw that.

I'm beginning to dislike the current state of the WWE... but anything can change with time... whether the change is for good or bad...well...

Another thing that just popped into my head... Vince & Co. need to turn this downward trend into a marketing campaign... Guys like Austin, HHH, Flair, even Vince himself need to get themselves onto talk shows and speak about the ratings drop and talk about what WCW vs. WWE was really like. Not the bastardized spin version of it...the TRUTH. They need to admit where wrongs happened and take blame and tell the world OUT OF CHARACTER that changes can be made and will be to bring the viewers back. The Viewers are the most important thing. PERIOD. It's not about making certain guys look better than others... These guys need to look at the whole picture and be a REAL team player... politicking needs to die and they need to concentrate on getting back the fan base... by going out and actually admitting they failed and showing that they know why and that they know how to fix it... and then ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING instead of faking it...it could bring people back... To have a guy like Vince or even Austin to come out and say "it's true, we aren't where we were 4 years ago and ________ is why, but we know we can correct the problems and we hope the fans that have left in that time can give us another chance..." ...it's almost begging... but I don't think they are above that right now if they actually fix things. They just need to admit failure. Acceptance is a key step to recovery.

I feel like i'm the only one that doesn't care it got moved. I'll just be pleased that people do care. *walks off whistling*

well they did say APPROX. 1675... and i'm sure she had a little bit of REAL cash on her...

As for feuds ending and beginning at the same time... that doesn't necessarily have to happen... as there would be enough people not in feuds at any given time to be pushed into one if need be. I figured there are 64 or so people that can wrestle (give or take retirements and the like) ...and not all of them would be used by 20 total feuds. As for the point system/title shot thing... I have two basic principles that can be used... 1. If Wrestler A's total points are ABOVE a given champions...then he can challenge. 1. There would be seperate rankings for Heavyweights (and Cruisers for SD), Women, and Tag Teams. 2. The 30 day rule would come back into play...with the champion having to do it at least once every 4 weeks (to the person whose right below them in points, unless that person is a champion himself). Also...PPVs would not count in the 30 days (unless it's something storyline-related) ...that way some TV title matches could occur as well.

I use an electric...i don't let it get very thick... This is a thread that Shaved Bear needs to appear in...

I would mark out for "Smackdown: Lyin', Cheatin', Stealin'"

Another small thing I had with the rankings would be if say... somebody like Hurricane went on a nice win streak... the announcers could recognize it and maybe somebody could come out to try and put an end to it... making a small angle out of it... I wish the matches meant something more than filling time until Wrestler A fought Wrestler B at PPV....which is a big reason I came up with some of this stuff.

sorry about whomever having to move this. *dives back behind bulletproof glass*

I read Nicholson Baker & Daniel Quinn... and various other things that I just pick up out of boredom... especially books dealing with music or Disney.

WATCH IN AWE~ as CWM dresses his new baby up as a garden gnome for Halloween every year until the kid is 26.

Mr. Plow Homer: There's a $10,000 bill in it for you. Barney: Oh yeah? Which president's on it? Homer: Uh... All of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch. Barney: Wow!

You know what they REALLY need... RATINGS. ...Yeah...that's the ticket.

Joy Division released most of their albums after the death of their lead singer, but everything they released with vocals was recorded before Ian Curtis died, so I wouldn't say they got better, but they were certainly more well known after his death than before (at least in the United States). EDIT: There is a webpage called ElvisPelvis.com that contains the Dead Musician Directory...and has a very complete and accurate collection of news stories surrounding just about EVERY music-related death going back since the 50s it would seem.

HST is 5 hours less than EST which is 5 hours less than GMT... meaning that the new deadline is 6 PM HST, 11 PM EST, 4 AM GMT

I was just saying...Orton is going to get pushed no matter what...so might as well put him where he is needed.

I'm not saying SD should be "The Orton Show" ... but he could be there as one of the top guys... Angle, Eddie, Cena, Show, Taker, Rhyno(?), Orton, and RVD. that's four faces and four heels that could sit and rotate around, and when Taker leaves, bring over Booker or put Edge back (or maybe even Jericho). I don't know... I don't want to see "The Orton Show" either...but i might be able to make people give a shit about him. MIGHT.

I thought about this today... and my idea is quite crazy...but could really work if they did it PROPERLY. For starters, this Evolution shit needs to stop. Keep Flair with Batista if you have to...or whatever... but I have a somewhat good idea for Orton. Make Orton a silent guy, put him on SD with a mouthpiece (i don't care who) and turn his running RKO thingie into either a completely new finisher or remove the running part. The thing that made DDPs so good was that it was literally BANG! and the match was over... Get rid of his silly posing and all that shit, and just make him walk to the ring, kick the shit out of the guy, pin him, and leave. Give him no reaction toward the fans, no reaction toward the opponents or the ref, no reaction at all. That keeps his acting down to a minimum and could possibly get him over as one of those guys who just has "no concern for anyone else" and is only out there to win (and this could easily be put over through promos w/ the mouthpiece and even by the announcers in matches. They are so fucking crazy about getting him over, and sadly...sadly...this Foley thing may help him as he has been getting minimal boos. He's like 2002 Brock... nobody here liked him and then we realized that he could be good once he gets out of the green stage. If he tones down the restholds (or uses them for actual psychology or something) and keep the RKO as a BOOM finish and maybe throw in a submission so that the restholds might make sense - I wouldn't mind seeing him using a Dragon Clutch Sleeper or something that just screams pain when it's locked on)... He could go to SD and feud with Cena. Let Cena talk and rap his ass off and just let Orton answer it in a silent but deadly way. I say Cena because it would give the gimmick a test run and see if it would get popped and then Orton can build to go after another face... the sad thing is that there aren't many top tier faces on SD to begin with... so that is another problem that the WWE needs to address.

I don't see why Brock would care THAT MUCH about having to put over the Deadman... Earth to Brock... You would still be in the business five years from now... Taker wouldn't... You wouldn't be remembered as the guy that laid down to him, I'm 99.9% certain he would be remembered for the great matches you had and that crazy fucking SSP.
