RHR 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 Do you folks out there think that maybe a key to turning around the company could lie in a big upset? Maybe take someone who isn't supposed to win, give the guy a HUGE win against an established champ, and build a story around him? Take a talented but mid-card level guy and have him all the sudden come out of nowhere to win a title. Think about a guy like Rob Conway or John Cena(although, Cena's better known now) and do a shock the world kind of win. And make it stick, make it clean. Then, watch the snakes come out of the grass to cozy up to the guy. Like, Conway gets a match with Goldberg on RAW, just for the hell of it, everybody thinks it's just another squash, when suddenly, a la' Jericho vs HHH, Conway wins. He's the new champ. No one expects it, and, no one knows what to do. All the sudden, Bischoff is his buddy. Austin wants to drink beer with him. Stacy wants to manage him. And before the match, nobody knew who he was! I think it would ignite a you-never-know attitude among the fans. I'd watch more often, if I knew anything could happen. Granted, I'm not sure who could pull this off. I thought of Cena and Conway because they both have a good look, and, can walk the line of heel/face...although I'm sure Conway needs more time. Hell, maybe put it on that Big John whathisface on Raw. Then when HHH wants his belt back, they can have a match, and the big OVW hoss will fuck up and put HHH out for a few months. At least that would make me watch more. So, what do you think? LOST DOGS AND MADISON SQUARE GARDEN OUT ON 11-11-03.... BROUGHT TO YOU PEARL JAM. ENJOY!

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted November 8, 2003 Honestly, with any other title but the world title, that would be a damn fun storyline. If the IC title had prestige, I would enjoy seeing something like that where everyone cozies up to the new IC champ trying to hitch their wagon to his train. But not the world title. Fluke wins really don't go well there. But I like the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 Honestly, I love the idea to pieces, but there is no chance that's going to happen right now. The WWE probably should give it a try though, I don't really think it would hurt them at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest OSIcon Report post Posted November 8, 2003 But not the world title. Fluke wins really don't go well there. I agree, but that storyline could work without the win being considered fluke. In real competitions, people or teams that are virtually unknown and not viewed as the cream of the crop, often come out of no where to win a championship. Sometimes it is just a fluke thing, but sometimes those teams or competitors are for real. If the storyline played out where a wrestler won the title out of no where but the victory was clean and treated as an upset rather than a fluke (there is a difference), it wouldn't hurt the stature of the championship. Of course, the wrestler would have to go onto have a fairly successful title reign to further show that he is legit and not a fluke. So if booked right, everyone could come out of it looking good.

Tawren 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 That is actually a pretty good idea. If, like OSIcon said, it was treated as an upset instead of a fluke, that would be a very entertaining storyline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
art_vandelay 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 Isn't this pretty much just a shortened version of all the hoss-pushes? Goldberg, Lesnar... Only difference is that a smaller guy would be winning. I don't like it. The casuals wouldn't accept it, and everyone here would be bitching about how the writers are trying to force us to like somebody. It would be the negative reactions to the Brock push x10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2003 Remember that Rock vs. Rhyno match from the Invasion, where we thought somehow Rhyno would pull the upset and take the belt? That was cool. But yeah, to have somebody come out of absolutely nowhere and get the Raw belt would be cool. And it would have to be someone like Rob Conway, because as The Other Other La Resistance Guy, he's about as low in the pecking order as you can get before you start hitting the OVW guys in the dark matches.

When Stone Cold came out for the contract signing I swear JR orgasmed. It wasn't exactly that dramatic, and given that the signing would take place between Bischoff and Austin it would seem reasonable to assume that Austin WOULD be coming out - but still Coach's whipping boy creams his jeans.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted November 9, 2003 What about when Mike Awesome showed up and won the ECW Title? I like that when a Guy just shows up and wins a title without being announced and shit. WWE Kinda did that with TBS at Series 99 I guess... I still can't believe we got duped...Everyone and their MOTHER had test pegged for the replacement slot. Hell, Test was standing right fucking NEXT to Vince when he learned he had to make a replacement... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
