Pick two faces and two heels

[Guest Cataclysm911]

~bump~

 

I think this is a good topic, and I don't wanna see it drop off the first page. Seeing as how this is the Smarks board, I'm interested to see if anyone else chooses non established wrestlers like I did.

[Guest Tim Cooke]

I would pick Austin and Rock as the faces.  Austin is more valuable than the WWF knows.  Rock, when used right, is a huge draw and even if I think he lacks some wrestling skills, he is still very valuable at the top.

 

As for heels, I would establish Angle and Jericho as the top heels, but doing so slowly.  They need to both be rebuilt.  If I were to start the promotion again, I would go with Austin v Rock as my lead feud and totally build around Angle and Jericho as being strong heels.  

 

When Benoit comes back, I would bring him back as a face as well.  Those would be my five guys to build around.  With them at the top and a Cruiserweight Undercard, things would at least be interesting.

Faces

 

~ Tommy Dreamer

 

~ RVD

 

Heels

 

~ Raven

 

~ Jerry "The New F'N Show" Lynn

 

Reasons: The whole crew has great history and past. Good way too mix shiz up. The rest of my card would look like this:

 

ME's

 

~ Rock (popular)

 

~ SCSA (same as above)

 

~ Benoit (greatness)

 

~ Jericho (need someone to wrestle w/Beoit!)

 

~ HHH (yes yes!)

 

Under Card

 

~ Angle (good wrestler)

 

~ Edge (potential)

 

~ All of CMLL

 

Also, Flair would be the onscreen commish.

[Guest tazmission86]

What happened to Austin and Angle? Good question. Angle was feuding with a former WWF Champion until recently, and now he's been in verbal feuds with Triple H (WWF Champ), Ric Flair, and The Rock, while having a feud with Edge, a respectable up-and-comer. Austin was feuding with one of the top heels until he disappeared and returned, and is now the main focus of WWF Raw.

 

So what happened to them? Nothing. There's no way to depush Steve Austin without him throwing a fit, and Angle is one of Vince's golden boys. Neither of the two will be forgotten long. The only reason they're not on TV as much as they is because Vince wanted to get higher ratings by bringing in the nWo. Since when does Vince trying to get more money = Triple H holding down everyone and my grandpappy, too?

Under Card

 

~ Angle (good wrestler)

 

Damn you.

 

Angle was feuding with a former WWF Champion until recently, and now he's been in verbal feuds with Triple H (WWF Champ), Ric Flair, and The Rock, while having a feud with Edge, a respectable up-and-comer.

 

All main event story lines for Angle were dropped. And for what? EDGE?

 

Austin was feuding with one of the top heels until he disappeared and returned,

 

SCOTT HALL?

[Guest Zack Malibu]

For current stars:

 

Babyfaces: Rob Van Dam and Chris Benoit

 

RVD would be the showman, a la Shawn Michaels.  Never afraid to put his body on the line in order to win a match either.

 

Benoit would be the "everyman", the guy who always tries so hard yet gets shafted by forces beyond his control.  I'd make him half inspirational wrestler, half badass, as the years of getting dicked around have taken a toll on him.

 

Heels: Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero

 

Angle is great on the mic as a heel, and the "dorkiness" factor gives him a "You didn't think I'd do this, but I can!" kind of edge when he cheats, injures someone, etc.

 

Eddie is just naturally obnoxious, and his rudo heel gimmick would be huge.  He'd be like the evil version of my RVD.

 

Old School:

Babyfaces Ricky Steamboat and Barry Windham

 

Steamboat is the consumate babyface, enough said.  He doesn't have a heel look, is a known family man, etc.  Would be the perfect rep. for my fed in any media exposure.

 

Windham would be the youngster who can take it to the mat or brawl with the best of 'em.  It would take lots of cheating, sneak attacks, etc. to keep him down.

 

Heels:

 

Ric Flair and Bruiser Brody

 

Flair would have the same gimmick as always, the jet setting pretty boy who loves the gold because it adds to his glory.

 

Brody would be the unstoppable monster heel, not afraid of any man or causing chaos in order to gain a victory over his opponent.

 

"All Time"

 

Babyfaces: Ricky Steamboat and Shawn Michaels

 

Same thing with Steamboat, being the "family man who can kick ass".  Michaels would be the "kid living out his dream".

 

Heels: Roddy Piper and Brian Pillman

 

For this, it doesn't get any better than WWF '85 era Piper and Loose Cannon Pillman.  Imagine the promos!

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

Faces:

The Rock. Obvious.

Chris Jericho. I like it when he makes fun of people.

 

Heels:

Chris Benoit. Nothing cooler than this dewd.

Kurt Angle. Except Angle.

 

HHH's Hitlist:

Kurt Angle: Already beaten.

Chris Jericho: Already beaten.

The Rock: The Rock is beyond mortal levels of heat.

Chris Benoit: Look out buddy!

[Guest nl5xsk1]

Faces:

Benoit (even though I don't think he has more than 3-4 good years left)

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Faces:

Chris Benoit

The Rock

 

Heels:

Steve Austin

Kurt Angle

[Guest nl5xsk1]

Faces:

Benoit (even though I don't think he has more than 3-4 good years left)

Kane (well, technically Glen Jacobs with a new gimmick ... the best big man around right now)

 

Heels:

Angle (MVP in wrestling right now, and has been for an awful long time)

Lesnar (w/Raven as his manager)

 

Face Tag Team:

Hardy Boys (the girls will always pop for these two ... oh, and no more Boyz, there's no stupid 'z' allowed in my federation)

 

Heel Tag Team

Thrillseekers (reunite Jerico and Storm & feud them with the Hardys)

 

Why I left off various people:

Austin, Taker, Hogan: too old ... if I'm starting a federation, I want Main Eventers with more than a year or two left)

Rock: and watch him go to Hollywood 4,5,6 months a year?

HHH: I just don't think he'll stay healthy long enough ... the steroids can't be too good for you, can they? (Scotty Steiner, I'm looking at you)

[Guest]

Faces:

Rock

Austin

 

Heels:

HHH

Angle

 

I based my fed almost totally on t-shirt and merchandice sales (Honorable mention to Jericho as he can rake in the cash as well)

[Guest Risk]

Screw faces...

 

I agree with this.  Faces are boring.  Heels can be too.  Besides, who the fuck wants to be called a babyface?  If you called Austin(the character) that he would beat the hell out of you.  Likewise, if you called Taker(the character) a heel, he would put a heel to your head.

 

If you called Raven(the character) a heel, he would discuss the perceptions of "good" and "evil" for a few minutes.  You can't call someone a "good guy" or a "bad guy".  It's not realistic and it is kind of dumb.  Why can't the fans boo or cheer whoever THEY want WITHOUT BEING INFLUENCED BY PROMOTERS IN ANY WAY.  

 

Heels and faces are too black and white for me, I like total shades of grey.  GOOD AND EVIL IS ALL IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.

[Guest Anglesault]

You're just one ball of fed up bitter hostile energy, aint you?

[Guest Flyboy]

Too easy...

 

Faces:  RVD, Benoit... and Hall (RAZOR, BABY!)

 

Heels:  Storm, Jericho, Angle, Rock, Rhyno

 

I know you said two... but well.... yeah.
