In my attempt to expand the Book This! section beyond the norm, I'm trying to include more interactive and fun threads to the mix, which don't require any more time than the normal post, or can be expanded into mini BT's themselves. This is my first attempt at such, and I ask you now: are there any angles you would've booked differently?
My first choice would be the Kane/Undertaker feud of last year. I liked the way it was pulled off through Night of Champions. After that pay-per-view. I would have them keep feuding through Hell in a Cell, but without the Paul Bearer return. At HiaC, I would've had the match between the two in the Cell. At some point in a long, epic match including much use of the cell I would have both men, out. And then, reminiscent of Kane's debuts, another wrestler debut. His name: Abel. He would be portrayed by one of three men, that I'd try to get in this order:
1. Brimstone
An independent wrestler in charge of an indy school/company in NYC that has sort of a cult following.
2. Ricky Banderas:
The man who was a champion in WSX and portrayed Judas Mesias in TNA.
3. Abyss:
The TNA wrestler.
The debut would be slightly different than Kane's, though. I'd have the wrestler walk either through the crowd or down the ramp and rip the cell door off, like Kane did upon debut. He would then attack Kane and allow Taker to win. The two confront after the match before Abel attacks Taker. The PPV ends with eerie red, black, and/or purple lights going through the arena as Paul Bearer returns and kneels on stage to Abel. The next Smackdown! features Abel being revealed as the estranged brother of Taker and Kane, who was given away by their parents before the fire. Bearer claims Abel is here for revenge. He goes after Kain later that night as Undertaker is unsure where Abel stands. Abel challenges Kane to an Inferno match at Bragging Rights, which Abel wins by engulfing Kane's body in flames. This leads to a Kane absence. Undertaker defends his title later that night, and wins. After this match the lights go out and when they come back on, Taker is laid out, the urn is laying in a corner on it's side, opened, with smoke pouring out, and a Casket is at ringside. The next week, Abel reveals he was the attacker and challenges Taker to a Casket match at Survivor Series. Teddy Long says he won't allow Abel to compete for the title, as he has not earned it, and Abel says he doesn't want the title, he wants Taker. The match takes place, non-title, and Abel wins. He deadbolts the casket and a hearse rolls into the arena, driven by Paul Bearer. The casket is locked in the hearse and the two drive away. After the final match later that night (probably for the WWE Title) the camera goes static right before the PPV ends. We see an unmarked tombstone at a gravesite, and the grave being covered in dirt with a casket inside. The camera pans to reveal Bearer, Abel, and the hearse, as the PPV ends.
Kane and Undertaker both disappear for awhile to give them time off, and Del Rio, Edge, Ziggler and others take over Smackdown as happened, only with Abel in the mix. The title is held up and Edge wins a tourney for it to continue storylines as they happened in 2011. So that's mine, what are yours?
