Directions For Seemingly Directionalless Wrestlers

[ChrisMWaters 0]

OK...here's just a fun thread.

 

Pick a wrestler on the WWE roster that doesn't seem at the moment to have any major direction in the near future, and find something for him/her.

 

I'll start with Christian. Now that he's lost cleanly to Batista both on Raw and Smackdown, he's going to need something to do. So, I was thinking he goes on a quest: to become the first man to hold every major title recognized by WWE between his debut and now. He's already most of the way there with the Light-Heavyweight, Hardcore, European, World Tag, and Intercontinental titles. Now, he just needs the Cruiserweight, WWE Tag, and the two top belts. So, he starts his quest with (and some people may hate this, but) a feud with Paul London for the Cruiserweight Title.

 

Opinions on this, as well as your own choices?

Hurricane and Rosey need to shed the masks and have Helms play the 'boy toy singer' again, with Rosey as his bodygaurd keeping people at bay as he sings his "hit" song. Sure, it wasn't the biggest hit for Double J, but it got him the IC Title a few times.

 

Call him "Sugacane" Helms, and give Rosey dreads.

[Guest Just Looking]

Technically, the LH belt merged with the Cruiser belt, so you can scratch that one off the list

If they change Rosey's name, sure.

 

Rosey, like Albert, is just not a good wrestler's name.

Um, no it hasn't.

 

X-Pac was the final Light Heavyweight Champion. He was injured while having the belt.

 

Tajiri was the Cruiserweight Champion when it went from a WCW title to a WWF/E title.

 

While the Cruiserweight Championship continued on (sort of), the Light-Heavyweight Championship just died.

 

I believe the WWE.com title histories page even recognizes them as two belts.

 

Where you may have been confused about that is the brief period where X-Pac held both titles at once.

Turn Val Venis into a terrorist. Oh wait, they already did that one.

did 3 Minute Warning have an alternate name in OVW or anything where they went by different names? I can't remember? Maybe the answer lies in there.

Call him Big R.

 

It's not much, but it's slightly tougher sounding than Rosey.

Christian has never held the United States Championship, either. (I won't even mention the Women's.... oops, I just did.)

Thought I put US title there...ah well.

 

And yes, forget about the Women's title. We don't need another Harvina on our hands.

[The Amazing Rando 0]

I know damn well he went by a different name in the Island Boyz... as Jamal was known as "Ekmo". Does anyone have an old version of EWR lying around?

 

 

Edit: It was KIMO. YnA helped me out.

[Guest JMA]

Let's see...

 

Hurricane: He'd become a Scientologist under his real name--Gregory Helms. He'd manipulate Stacy (who is taller than him) into buying into the crap. I guess Rosey could revert to being Helms' bodyguard--Kimo.

 

Val Venis: Val needs to replace Orlando Jordan as JBL's Chief of Staff when he turns. He'd of course become Chief (of Staff) Morley once again.

 

Lita: Lita needs to be even more of a slut. I'm talking about randomly fucking heels, faces, announcers, referees, other divas, ect.

Turn them into the Fantastic 4!

 

Hurricane = Reed Richards, the dumbest smart guy on earth who never notices that Stacy is hitting on him.

 

Rosey = The Thing, well he is fat what else can he do?!?!?!

 

Stacy = Invisible Woman, she will only wear pasteys and g-string.

 

CM Punk = Human Torch, the guy that always wants to be the center of attention.

 

Kane = Dr. Doom, he always looked good in a mask and has the ability to ignite pyro at command.

Val Venis: Val needs to replace Orlando Jordan as JBL's Chief of Staff when he turns. He'd of course become Chief (of Staff) Morley once again.

 

 

If JBL turns face and Morley joins him...

 

Orlando Jordan would create his own empire, and try to profit off the Jordan name. He'll be racist to other blacks and try to use them to his own gain. JBL, playing face, will hire EL GRAN LUCHADORE to destroy Orlando Jordan and his lackeys, Viscera and the Godfather, who will only be in it for the hoes and high-tail it the second they start to take a beating.

 

 

If JBL stays heel and Morley joins him...

 

Orlando Jordan will turn face, and the race card will be played from the black perspective once more. Jordan will eventually triumph and afterwards both Jordan and Morley will be fired. JBL will never make mention of the angle and instead go on to feud with anybody else on the roster over the fact that he is better than them cause he is rich.

[Guest Brian]

God, most of the roster is dircetionless. Who's motivated? Why? What drives them? There are so many guys that just have no edge or depth to their characters. Just look at some of the top guy even, for instance:

 

Kurt Angle: Why does this guy do what he does? Why does he put his medals up every week when he really doesn't have anything to prove?

[ChrisMWaters 0]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

He wants to prove he's the best actual wrestler in the world.

 

Either that or he gets a kick out of beating up people way less skilled than he is.

[Guest Brian]

Well, he's not proving that he's the best in the world by beating up jobbers. Adn why does he need to prove it, since he already has the gold medals and has won the title?

Lazy booking?

 

and btw, the link in your sig doesn't work. At least for me anyway.

Too much lazy booking is shitty booking.

 

The link works now, I switched where I'm hosting things.

Too bad Mason ended up roadkill.

 

My directionless wrestlers from Raw:

Big Show- meaningless feud with Carlito

Carlito- feuds with Big Show, becomes Honky Tonk Man 2005 for a couple of months until (thankfully) losing the title around Survivor Series

Masters- wins feud with Big Vis cleanly

Snitsky- Heat fodder. Seriously, this man doesn't need a direction.

Kane- turns heel and is jobbed out to Cena in the fall

Angle- begins feud with Shelton Benjamin immediately

Maria- continue her stupidity while playing up a romance angle with Cena, then have her dumb ass accidentally lure Cena into a heel trap. Could begin some sort of angle.

Dupree- romances Lillian Garcia

Conway- form a heel tag team with Val Venis

Benjamin- see Angle

Tajiri- jobs for Carlito

HHH- takes a well-deserved TV break until the fall when he's needed for the Cena program that he ends up winning

Tomko- becomes problem solver for hire

Venis- see Conway

Vis- see Masters

Heartthrobs- Diva Search fixtures

Hurricane/Rosey/Stacy- feud with Conway/Venis

Victoria- acts like a psychotic bitch and manages Basham

Danny Basham- starts wearing bondage again and is managed by Victoria

Flair- possibly returns as manager of CM Punk. Seriously, Punk doesn't need OVW fine-tuning and should be rushed out ASAP. Or, in a more realistic/safer scenario, takes a break until Triple H's return

-and my personal favourite

Kerwin- series of stupid vignettes ultimately ending with the debut of La Parka

[Masked Man of Mystery 0]

I wouldn't call him Kimo because some might confuse him with the MMA fighter, who used to be pretty good from what I understand, but he got KO'ed by Shamrock with knee blows while on the juice at UFC 48 or so, so I don't think you want the association

I like the way all of these ideas invole trades between shows.

 

Id make Regal Foreign Secretary, since he needs to improve relations with his fanbase all over the world and I would have said make Matt Morgan his War Secretary, since America is at War but just insert BIG SIZED RELATIVELY UNKNOWN WRESTLER here.

 

WWE could have resurrected Venis as Chief of Staff but f it.

[Garth 0]

I would have loved to have seen Venis in the place of Jordan. He would be more over than Jordan is in the position and would have made an excellent US champion.

I like that, he could be like the new APA. Hell, have him buy the old APA office from JBL.

My two favourites. Both would be brilliant, although Punk doesn't necessarily need a manager, more someone to give him that first rub.

Exactly. Lazy booking (as has been said) to confirm that Angle is an asshole.
