Getting Noticed By Management
Ok, I know that Bound For Glory is only a few short months away. More than likely it will be completely different but this is how I would build it up. I am expecting criticism since it would be a huge build in only a few short months and would be difficult to book. Here it goes:
Angle and Anderson are scheduled to be the next World Title match but Sting has a rematch clause and comes out saying he would like to exercise that clause and make it a triple threat at Destination X.
Hulk Hogan comes out... with Gunner. "Now wait just a minute, Stinger. You want your little rematch, you've got it but don't think it will just be a triple threat. Gunner has been mightily impressive brother. You beat you and Anderson two Thursdays in a row. I don't see why that shouldn't warrant a title shot."
In truth, while Gunner has beaten Sting and Anderson, Hogan cannot resist feeding his massive ego. It has to be about him. It has to be about Immortal. It isn't enough he controls the company, he wants to relive the glory days of Immortal when they really did run the show and their guy was champion. Hogan will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He absolutely cannot wait for Bound For Glory. He has to have it and he has to have it now.
Gunner continues to impress in the Bound For Glory series, winning a few matches. Anderson continues his heelish persona but doesn't need anybody and is timid of defending his title, in a four way no less.
Meanwhile, Sting also is concentrating on defeating Immortal and Kurt Angle also wants to make sure that that belt never gets near anything that has to do with Jeff Jarrett and that he never could stand Anderson the Asshole.
Hogan is extremely confident that Gunner will become champion and that his secret plan will come true at Destination X. Gunner comes oh so close as the fatal four way match is rated quite well but just as Gunner hits the F5 like move on the man who has to beat Immortal but as Angle is out like a light, Anderson comes out of no where and gets Gunner off of Sting and throws Gunner out of the ring and steals the victory to retain the title. Hogan's plan backfired.
He really thought he had it. But oh well, he called Anderson into his office that Thursday to congratulate him on his victory. He really liked how Anderson has changed. He's still an asshole but now he likes this kind of asshole that Anderson is. He then invites him to join Immortal once again. Anderson once again declines, saying he doesn't need anybody. He then exits Hogan's office. Offended, Hogan calls up Bully Ray: "Get ready brother, you've got a title match tonight."
Though not a fan of Anderson, A.J. Styles cannot fathom Bully Ray becoming World Heavyweight Champion. With the referee knocked down, Styles hits the Styles Clash on Bully Ray and then Styles exits via barricade with Anderson retaining.
Hogan is furious A.J. got in his way. So he sets up a handicap match against Bully Ray and Matt Hardy the next week. That taught A.J. for sure.
Anderson cut a promo at the end of the show about he is the greatest total nonstop champion in history and that nobody is taking his title.
Hogan then came out. "You think nobody is going to take that title from you? I know somebody who will gladly do so at Hardcore Justice. He is the Freak, Rob Terry." The show ended with Terry, Gunner, Murphy, Bully Ray, Abyss and Matt Hardy all beating down the champion.
Bookers note: There is no way Rob Terry is title material and I absolutely hope he never gets near the belt; but from a KAYFABE perspective, Hogan is enamored with Terry's physique and is almost certain he'll crush Anderson in no time.
The beatdown is a common theme for the next few weeks leading up to the PPV. Hogan is almost certain that Terry is taking the belt that night. Anderson is not 100%. Terry is. Despite this awful match (Neither are very good wrestlers, this is only for storyline purposes) Terry tries each and every time to Anderson away but just cannot pull the trigger. A low blow and a mic check to retain as Anderson slithers away with the belt.
Hogan is furious, AGAIN, that Immortal failed to capture the belt. So the PPV ended with members of Immortal surrounding the ring ala Nexus style and beat Anderson into his own pool of blood.
"You see Ken, this is going to keep on happening week after week after week. The only way this stops is Immortal will take the belt from you or you will join Immortal. Immortal WILL have control of that World Heavyweight Championship belt, brother. What's it gonna be?"
Anderson, barely conscious at all, give a faintful "yes" due to the fact that he's in it for himself and that he'll do anything to keep the belt on him. It was too much for him not to give in. Hogan smiles and starts clapping. Anderson is passed out and he is carried out of the Impact Zone like a sacrificial lamb. Hogan triumps holding the belt up high amidst crowd boos.
A kayfabe injury to Devon takes him out of the Bound For Glory series. Knowing that the fans love Sting, Hogan decides to name Sting his replacement but he knows Sting has no chance because Devon is last in the Bound For Glory series and way behind the leader, the still undefeated Crimson.
As the series points increases, Sting pulls out all the stops, going on fire the next month or so. Anderson retained with Immortal's help at Unbreakable against Rob Van Dam and again against A.J. Styles at No Surrender.
The main event of No Surrender was, however, the finals. During this time, Sting caught up to Crimson in points, who had not been on TV in a couple of weeks since it seemed like he had it locked up. Sting and Crimson is a battle of respect, both vowing to defeat Immortal. Remember, Crimson led the Fortune raid earlier in the year.
The undefeated Crimson goes over the legendary Sting at No Surrender.
That Thursday, Hogan is more than confident Anderson will retain. Hogan ran the company. His guys had Anderson's back. Then all of a sudden, he is interrupted by Sting and Crimson, who come on down, saying they have each had enough of Immortal's games.
"You know something, I'm sick of you two on MY SHOW, thinking you can defeat us. There is no way you will beat us and you have been a thorn in my side for the very last time. WHEN Anderson beats Crimson at Bound For Glory, you two will be gone from this company forever. But good luck thinking you can beat Immortal. I am so confident you won't that I'll disband Immortal if you do! This will be a no disqualification match."
That idea excited Sting and Crimson, with the #1 contender agreeing to the stipulation. Numerous segments and vignettes air over the next few weeks hyping Bound For Glory. The whole (face) lockeroom is rooting for Crimson because they don't like Immortal but they warn him how all the pressure is on him. It's all up to him. If Sting and he could not defeat Immortal, then Immortal could be just as such.
However, it's not an easy road as Crimson has had to face the likes of Gunner, Bully Ray, Rob Terry and Abyss on the road to Bound For Glory. Each and every one of them fell to Crimson but after each match, Immortal ganged up on Crimson before Sting cleared the ring with a baseball bat.
Sting is attacked backstage by Immortal at Bound For Glory before the match. They knew he would get involved. Stinger is taken out on a stretcher.
The main event of the match is actually not a bad match and Immortal doesn't get involved until later on. It was a back and forth battle between the Asshole and the Undefeated Crimson. About 30 minutes into the match, Immortal came out, beating down Crimson and holding him for Anderson to take jabs. It looked like Anderson was going to retain.
Just then, "FORTUNE FOUR!!!!!" The crowd goes absolutely INSANE as Fortune- Styles, Daniels, Kaz and Beer Money, who managed to stay together afterall gun for the ring and take out Immortal. Crimson and Anderson are both laid all over. The two factions brawl into the crowd with TNA chants throughout the arena. But wait, Anderson has the belt and is ready to nail Crimson with it but Crimson ducks and manages to attack Anderson from behind, hitting his finisher. The crowd is hot like crazy.
The whole arena. "ONE.....TWO.....THREE" Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding
"Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner and NEW Heavyweight Champion of the World, Crimson."
Fans rejoice that Immortal is gone and a crying Hulk Hogan is on the titantron, on both of his knees, crying out "WHY!!!! WHY!!!!"
Good always trumphs evil.
I know it was a lot of reading and that it would be hard to book but I would love to see this happen. It's only an idea.
