Raven/Jeff/Funk/Foley

[Magus 0]

so this takes place after my AS3 post, where Raven lost the NWA World Title to Jerry Lynn, and Jarrett lost a match to Jeff Hardy in their fued. so here's the fued that continues with them after the show. this is main event stuff that'll go on for a few months, but doesn't completely drag the World Title into the picture...

 

Jarrett, upset over his loss to Hardy, promises that he has some surprises in order. meanwhile, Hardy has a match against Abyss to determine who will be the next challenger to Lynn's world title. during that match, Jarrett comes down to the ring and starts to beat down Hardy. the lights suddenly go off and a strobe light kicks on. Raven is in the center of the ring while Hardy is getting beaten by Abyss and Jarrett. Raven goes nose-to-nose with Jarrett, his hated rival... then they shake hands! Raven joins in on the beatdown to end the show.

 

since Abyss/Hardy went to a no contest, the third person in the rankings gets the shot at Lynn. its Ron Killings. but for this next show, we have Abyss/Jarrett/Raven vs. Hardy/Lynn/Killings. in a promo, Jarrett says that they are the new dominant force in pro wrestling. Raven dubs them "the Unholy Alliance". the Alliance wins their match when Jarrett pins Hardy. the Alliance goes on to defeat many competitors in tag team and singles matches (their first victims are the Extreme Revolution, who felt betrayed by Raven). they are completely dominant, and Jarrett even mentions that now that Hardy is out of his way, he's going to get back his World Title. eventually, the NWA Board of Legends (consisting of Dusty, Larry, and a few others) decides to do something about the Unholy Alliance.

 

Jarrett (with Raven's help, of course) eventually goads Lynn into a World Title match. the week before the match, however, Dusty comes out to announce what the Board plans to do. out comes TERRY FUNK. the World Title match is now a 3 Way between Jarrett, Lynn, and the Funker. in the match, JJ takes a huge beating from Funk, and Lynn picks up the win with a cradle piledriver on him. enraged, the Unholy Alliance declares war on Funk. Funk doesn't back down, and has a match against Abyss where he wins. but that's not all, as Raven declares that the next week Funk will have to go through all three of them, if he can find two partners. Funk gets Dusty and Zbyszko, but they lose to the Unholy Alliance in brutal fashion.

 

next week, Raven and Jeff celebrate their victory over the so-called legends, but Funk shows up on the screen saying that he wants a rematch. this time, he has a new partner, since they injured Larry. JJ and Raven accept, as they'd be happy to destroy Funk again. in the main event that night, Raven is in a no-DQ match against Ron Killings for a position in the World Title rankings. near the end, who should come out but MICK FOLEY! Foley destroys Raven and tells Killings to make the pin. Killings gets the win and Foley raises his arm in victory as the crowd goes wild. the next week, however, Raven is pissed. he and Jarrett change the tag match to just the four of them: Jeff/Raven vs. Foley/Funk. Foley and Funk come out and Foley cuts a great promo on them. they accept the challenge.

 

later, the match happens, and its mainly Foley/Raven and Funk/Jarrett. Abyss watches at ringside. eventually, though, Terry Funk gets the win over Raven and the legends win the match. the next week, the Unholy Alliance is incensed, and Jeff gets them booked against AMW for the Tag Team Titles. its time to remind the people just who they are. Raven and Jeff go after AMW tenaciously and win the titles. with gold around their wastes, they're once again a dominant force to be reckoned with. TNA's tag teams compete for shots at the title, but to little avail, as no one who goes against the Unholy Alliance can really beat them. Foley and Funk can, though, and they challenge them to a steel cage match.

 

the next week, we see Raven vs. Funk and Foley vs. Jarrett to hype the tag title match. Raven pins Funk and Foley pins Jarrett in their respective matches. the next week, we get the big match in the main event, and its a brutal brawl. the match is won when Raven climbs over and gets out of the ring. once that happens, Abyss storms in and cleans house. the Unholy Alliance stands victorious once more. Funk and Foley disappear for a week while the Alliance brags about their win. the next week, Dusty announces that Mick Foley wants one more run in TNA, and he's awarded Mick a chance to win the NWA World Title. but first, he has to go through Raven in a contender's match. the match goes down as the culmination of the Raven/Foley rivalry. Jarrett, Abyss, and Terry Funk all watch the match from ringside as Foley and Raven battle. Foley finally gets the win despite JJ's interference. Funk brawls with JJ and Foley celebrates as the show ends.

 

two weeks later, Foley goes up against Jerry Lynn and wins in an old fashioned southern style brawl. Jerry shakes his hand afterwards in a sign of respect and Mick Foley is the new NWA World Champion. Foley continues to fued with Raven (and thus the Alliance). meanwhile, Jarrett and Funk have a big final battle. eventually, Jarrett would steal the #1 Contendership from Raven, causing the Unholy Alliance to break apart. Jarrett would win the title from Foley and Raven would turn on Jeff to get back what he sees as rightfully his. Abyss would be caught in the middle, but i'm not sure what he'd do exactly. Funk and Foley would have the option to continue in TNA if they wished.

I'm asuming you weren't going for the 'realistic' approach then? I don't really know what this is or where it's from but I'm going to treat it like it was a 'realistic' angle.

Raven doesn't play well with others. Especially when they are supposedly his equal. It only works with Raven if his stable-mates are his bitches. And with JJ involved that aint gonna happen.

Jerry Lynn isn't 'big' title material. He's good in the ring but that's about it.

I can't stand Funk anymore. I appreciate what he has done in the business but I just can't watch a 50-odd year-old man get beaten up anymore. It aint right.

There's only one company Foley would wrestle for. Even then he would only wrestle the odd one-shot match.

hey, a man can dream. these are just random thoughts anyway, and i try to look at it as "here's what i think would be cool", not if it could actually happen. i'd love to book a Raven vs. Austin fued (or something similar), even though it'd never ever happen.
