Bad ideas for a wrestling fed

[Twisted Intestine 0]

I only have one example for now, but I'll add more later if people are responding to this thread..

 

Give the wrestlers health bars, video game style. When the health gets to red, they can be pinned but might kick out, dark red they won't kick out and can also be submitted, no health left is a KO.

 

Come on, it'd be fun to watch. Everyone knows wrestling's fake anyways, right? I'd like watching how much damage different moves did.

I can't imagine that being enjoyable at all.

 

I'd like to see some company in the US do a total comedy fed, ala HUSTLE. Just have a bunch of weird characters in pointless matches (no, TNA doesn't count, har har). Make it really violent, though, with lots of blading and such.

How about an animated wrestling show? I know there was Celebrity Deathmatch, but this would use fictional characters. There would be more detailed storylines than regular wrestling and no unexpected injuries/arrests/failed drug tests/ego clashes/deaths to screw them up.

Have the fed have amazing production values and insanely horrible gimmicks. Have a guy dressed as a killer whale and make his entrance so that the aisle is set up as a giant body of water and have swim out and pretend to be a shark in the water, eating smaller "fish" in the water and having him bite his opponents as a finisher and making them bleed to death. Put the companies world title on him.

I was thinking before of a fed that the matches are filmed movie style. They could put together some insanely good looking wrestling matches. They would also be able to do more outlandish stuff that way... like having a while bite someone as his finisher.

 

Or sticking with that idea, how about a super hero wrestling fed, with everyone having their own powers.

Isn't that basically what the anime "Ultimate Muscle" was?

Two words:

 

Sound effects.

WCW:The Next Generation starring the younger relatives of the stars of WCW. Cause who wouldn't want to see a triple threat match between Horace Hogan, David Flair and Blade Hart?

isn't this CHIKARA?

Wasn't that WMAC Masters?

remember when heel announcers like Bobby Heenan and Jerry Lawler would say the heel is "ahead on points"? How odd would it be if there really was a point system?

[Dandy 0]

I have been calling for a division to be judged by points and/or rounds for years. I think it would be a good midcard division.

[King Kamala 0]

Guys have you forgotten the AWF, the somewhat short lived wrestling league from '95/'96ish? It used the British round system for matches. Its roster was almost entirely comprised of WWF mid carders from the 80s (Tito Santana and Bob Orton traded the heavyweight titles). Heck, they even had Lord Alfred Hayes on commentary! It's a wonder why they didn't make it.....

 

They have some of it on NetFlix if you're curious.

Didn't some Japanese shooto style fed use a point system?

 

I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head.

Remember the old Batman show when the big "POW," "WHAM," "ZAP" screens would flash after every punch, etc? I'd like to see something like that, except listing the names of each move.

 

Not really a gimmick for a fed, but I'd still like to see a wrestler that could freeze time in the middle of the match.

[Mr. S£im Citrus 0]

Sort of stop time and then give in-match commentary, a la Zack from Saved by the Bell?

[Papacita 0]

That's exactly what I had in mind.

[PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0]

How about a comedy-troupe type deal with the same five guys playing numerous roles (including drag roles for the women's division)? Those Royal Rumbles would be interesting.

Sounds like a job for the Whitest Kids.

There are a few like that already, most notably CHIKARA, except for your bizarra idea of loading a comedy show with bloody violence.

Three words: Kaiju Big Battel. (Or my old indy fed, where the goofy TV editor once put a "boing!" sound in every time one guy bumped in a particular match.)

UWFI is probably what you're thinking of, but I believe there were a couple others.

I remember the AWF, circa '96. I actually hate to admit, but I enjoyed watching it. I was really psyched when they brought in the Road Warriors, and was looking forward to the inevitable Road Warriors/Texas Hangmen feud. They had a pretty laughable roster, looking back...Santana, Orton, Slaughter, Scott Putski, NAILZ...

 

As far as judges for matches, didn't TNA have that for a while, most notably when they were on FSN?

 

Oh and I know KamalaMilk's comment about WCW: Next Generation was mostly in gest, but I've always wondered if some promoter could get away with just showing really young indy guys on a regular series and presenting it as like "Wrestling's Stars of Tomorrow" or something.

It's called Florida Championship Wrestling... but seriously, it would be kind of cool if WWE did something where they attached their name to it, kind of like Tough Enough but with more depth.

How about a company that was part of the NWA for years, and then in 1991 broke free, and turned a great promotion, into one full of rules like you can't jump off the top rope. Plus they create gimmicks like a guy being from the Wizard of Oz, and create matches where the way you defeat your opponent is throwing them in an electric chair and turning the switch. Oh wait, nevermind.

Everyone on the show (wrestlers, announcers, backstage interviewers, extras backstage etc..) dresses like Doink the Clown. No one mentions it on camera, business as usual.

If there are plants in the audience, they should dress like Doink as well.

1. Me as champion.

2. A company that parodies other wrestling shows.

3. Every match ends with a non finish or count out.

4. Every wrestler is a champion of something.

5. Each wrestlers theme music sounds the same.

That's kind of what TNA has been doing for years with Dale Oliver doing the music isn't it?

I had an idea for animated wrestling show, except it had all the intrege of backstage politics, booking, ect. during the Monday Night Wars. Basically it would follow an up and coming wrestler on his way to the top having to deal w/ politics and an over zealous booker who pushed redicolous spots that risked the wrestlers health to beat the competor in the ratings.

I want a promotion that just rips off other promotions. I would call it Total Nonstop World Extreme Championship Wrestling Action. A name like TNWECWA rolls right off the tounge. But the name isn't the only thing they combine, they also combine gimmicks on matches, like the Six Sides of Judy Bagwell on a Pole Deathmatch.

Ah, I remember the days when WCW used to air over here in England and because it was on in the evening they actually did cover up weapon shots with Batman effects.

 

And CHIKARA, it's moved away from character stuff a little more recently. You've still got plenty of it, like The Colony, Hydra, Los Ice Creams, but it's much more resembling of a 'straight' indy than it used to be say two years ago. Definately not on HUSTLE levels.
