Guest One Bad Apple Report post Posted March 6, 2002 It's, okay, but mine is better. I feel the stability of the WWF is a big problem, so my ideas reflect that. Week 1: Raw - Every match from the pay-per-view is done again. Pay-per-views shouldn't end feuds any more, they'll end on RAW. Crash and Funaki have a "state of the union" where they address everything going on in the company. This'll never evolve into a feud or angle or anything, but it'd be a wise use of 20 minutes because it'd build a new WWF tradition. Other guys do stuff. Smackdown - Cage match with HHH and Flair, Shane or Vince on even-numbered months. On odd-numbered months, HHH will talk about how he's just about had it with Flair, Shane or Vince's crap and says that if they keep it up ... he might end up doing something he'll regret (like a cage match). Random guy who lost in Tough Enough comes out and claims that they're the "Madman of the Badlands" and want to rip apart any WWF superstar with the guts ... to face them on Raw ... in a retirement match. Two outta three times, it'll be Darryl. Other guys do stuff. Week 2: Raw - Face and heel lines should be established with strap matches across the board. The heel will always choke his or her opponent in the beginning so the fans know whom they should boo. In the only non-strap match of the evening, someone like ... Edge defeats the Tough Enough jerk in a retirement match at 0:43 by making 'em tap out to the Edge-O-Matic. If it's a girl, match time is 0:13 and they cry afterwards. If it's Darryl, match time is 0:56 and he taps to an actual submission move. And kicks a stop sign. Lillian will conduct a sit-down interview with someone that I'm interested in, like D-Von or Mr. Perfect or Test. She'll end the interview by calling them a jobber for eating those worms and they'll put her through a table or Perfect-Plex her or hit on her. Other very interesting developments. Smackdown - Booker T. announces how they'll decide the number-one contender. There'll be a tag match, and the winner and the guy he pins get to go on and have a match to decide the top contender. To put the loser of the tag at a disadvantage (since he's a loser and all), it'll be a three-on-one handicap match. The winner gets to choose any two woman wrestlers on the roster to team with. If the handicapped jobber wins, he still has to defeat Rikishi in a Stinkface Match. If the other guy wins, he has to test his mettle against Christian, the new "hired gun" or the Corporate Team. If Christian or Rikishi win, a Casket Match between the champion and an opponent of his choosing will headline the pay-per-view. This whole deal will take up most of the show. Actors from a random UPN show or Mario Lopez will hang out with the APA. Booker will be upset about his not being offered a lead role in the series. Bradshaw will exclaim that he's from Texas and that Booker that needs a haircut. Booker will become infuriated and challenge the APA to take on the Dudley Boyz. The APA will accept! Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler will join the "Women of Roswell" fan club. No time for any other interesting developments, since the explanation for what will happen in order to determine who gets a shot at the belt will eat up a lot of the two hours. And then there's the matches that will actually determine who gets a shot at the belt, the Booker and APA skit and the APA's battle with Bubba and D-Von! Week 3: Raw - Like you said, the midcard should be largely secured ... into contracts for a Whatever City Street Fight! They'll all be split up and have to have a match with a wrestler who's also appearing on the pay-per-view. The pairings will be decided randomly, by way of the WWF's gold hopper. All the matches will involve interference by the bad guy the good guy's feuding with. Crash and Funaki will confront Raven or Hugh Morrus about a disagreement they had on Jakked. The Rock will sing a song for us, the fans! He'll do "Rocky Around the Clock"! Jericho will attack him, and Ross will remind us that Jericho is a threat to disqualify himself the next time he and The Rock meet in the ring. Roddy Piper will hold a "Piper's Pit" segment with a fan. He will brutalize the fan. A hush falls over the arena, as they realize Piper's finally gone too far. Other guys do stuff. Smackdown - Six-man tags between the heels and faces in the matches for the Hardcore, European and Women's Titles. During the bout, the face female will dare one of the male nasties to mat wrestle with her. Once the nasty manages to get the upper hand, he'll cop a feel on either her hoo-ha or her uh-ohs. The fans will boo, so she'll kick him the jumble. Tazz will bump into Albert in the back, initiating a stare-down. The fans will catch on that a "respect" match may be needed to sort out this all out. Two tag partners will have a disagreement about either videogames or where they're going for dinner. They'll vow to never speak to each other again and to rape one another's sisters. Later, one is attacked by a duo of baddies who feel the time is right to put the team out of circulation by assaulting each man at separate times. The attackee's cries of, "Ouch! I wish me and my partner were still cool," will be heard by his partner and he will send the attackers running. They will kiss (not literally, fag) and make up. The announcers will push that these two guys have a bond that cannot be broken by either dinner or videogames! This will push the idea that tag teams have a very deep friendship and that they love each other (not like that, homo). Other guys do stuff. Week Four: Raw - The main eventers will be mad at each other because the pay-per-view is coming. So they don't fight each other before the big event, Flair will have off-duty cops come and escort them all to separate jail cells. The fans will boo, so Ric will come out and say this is for the better, and though those in attendance won't be able to see the top guys tonight, the jail time will allow them to cool down a bit so the fans at Smackdown will get to see them! Ross will tell us they are chanting for Ric in support of his smart decision. In reality, though, they will be chanting for him because his decision has assured that, in only three days, they'll be seeing a star-studded Smackdown on their televisions! Perry Saturn will come out and the fans will be confused that he's not friendly and strange anymore because they don't watch Jakked. Next month, he'll come out friendly and strange again so the fans will wonder why he's not mean and vicious anymore. In spite of his alternating viciousness and strangeness, he'll lose a strap match to The Hurricane or the Bossman or somebody else that I enjoy watching. The reason for this strap match will be that the fans will feel that they didn't get enough two weeks ago. Roddy will host another edition of "Piper's Pit." He tells the crowd that his wife recently divorced him, so he's going to find a pretty young lady to ask intimate questions to on stage. He finds a woman he likes, but she's fearful because of what Piper did last week. The Rowdy One is enraged at this, so he pulls her into the ring and smashes her face in with a bowling ball! Who will stop Piper? Over the course of the show, the main eventers will cut promos from their cells. Some convicts will be badgering Austin during his comments, which pisses off the Bionic Redneck. Austin laments that he's unable get his hands on them, but a guard offers to let them loose to slug it out if him and the off-duty cops can place bets on it. Austin agrees and the fight is on! Austin beats everyone up real bad and finishes them all off with a Stunner, saving the biggest, blackest guy for last. Then he goes to the prison refrigerator and grabs some beer. He pretends to drink it like he usually does and pours a few cans over all the assholes! Take that assholes! "Looks like this packa rabid dogs ... just got stung ... by the Texas Rattlesnake, by Gawd! Tazz and Albert have their "respect" match. Who will have to respect who? The announcers should always put this over the as a "first ever." Other very interesting developments. Smackdown - The Big Show will be walking around like he owns the place and Kane will ask him why he's walking around like he owns the place? Big Show will be like, "Yeah? Well I own you, burned boy." Kane will snap back with, "Yeah? I will own you either tonight or at the pay-per-view, where I challenge you to a match." This'll only occur at a pay-per-view if neither man has been previously scheduled for a match. If at least one of them has one, it'll occur after the commercial break. All of the current feuds will be hyped up ... but since this is a special Smackdown, the one right before the big show, it'd be done with more than run-ins and machete ambushes. See, Slick Ric would give all the midcard and undercard wrestlers with feuds the night off to relax and party! That's the second part of his "cool down, daddy, and stop thinkin' 'bout that guy you hate!" plan. He didn't send them to jail because those guys tend to be more mellow and easygoing, though they get wound a little tight at feud time. So while the top stars wrestle the night away, much more calm due to their stay in the slammer, the midcarders and undercarders hang out. Ric Flair doesn't want to send them all to the same place, so he arranges for them to go places in random groups to be determined by the gold hopper. But Vince and the nWo, who want to destroy the company, rig the hopper to send feuding wrestlers to same places! Periodically, the WWF team will be forced by Vince and his nWo to cut to fights between superstars going on in post offices, diners, deserts, chat room, etc.! Vince will do this to undermine Nature Boy Flair. Tazz will come out and declare that before his "respect" match with Albert he already had so much respect for the man he didn't think he could have any more. But after they went to a five-minute draw, Tazz said that his respect grew that much more. Albert emerges and goes face-to-face to Tazz in the ring. Albert says he'd slap Tazz, but it looked like God beat him to it. Tazz is shocked. He will tell Tazz to hit him, but after a few tense moments, Tazz will hug him (not in that way, queer). They will raise each other's arms and go, "I RESPECT THIS MAN!!" to each other. Other very interesting developments. At the pay-per-view, it will be stressed that all of these matches will happen again on Raw to persuade the fans to watch that, too. Before anyone gets up in my BUTT, this booking template would just go on for around six months. The point of the repetition would be the fans would expect certain things to happen. When things finally start to change (except the monthly Crash-Funaki state of the union, which is a tradition), it will make the WWF look very unpredictable. At the same time, it is not so repetitive that fans would be bored. Notice the week-to-week shift between "other guys do stuff" and "other very interesting developments." With that element of unpredictability, the fans will spread the word about the excitement of the product. Then, sooner than later, everyone and their grandsister will be watching WWF television. Good, eh? Oh, and as for who will stop Piper? No one stops Piper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
