I'll try to keep this brief - seems like all my posts/threads are essays.
WWE currently has several superstars of the past appearing on a part time basis. They're usually used for dream matches, boosting PPV buys, or picking up the slack when the ratings are slipping.
If you could control how each of these stars are booked, how would you do it?
For the sake of organisation, please list who you'd put them against (and why), when you'd do it, and a brief overview of the feud.
The past superstars I can think of are:
Brock Lesnar
The Rock
Stone Cold Steve Austin (under contract and feels he's got two years in the tank - I suppose that qualifies)
Triple H
Booker T
Undertaker
Feel free to add any more!
Eg:
The Rock: I'd put him against John Cena again. I thought they had good chemistry on the mic and in the ring, and there's so many more places they could go with it ie getting titles involved, heel turns etc.
In my story, I'd have Cena lose his next few high profile matches and blame The Rock. Say he's not demeaning The Rock's victory at WrestleMania, just that Rock's disappearance straight after meant Cena couldn't get any closure and it's been throwing him off his game ever since. Cena calls out Rock for a while, maybe wins the WWE Title to lure Rock out - Rock finally shows up to win the Rumble and answer Cena's challenge. Cena wants Rock again, Rock wants Cena's title - it writes itself. The only risk is, if Cena wins then Rock hasn't kept his promise to be champion, but if Rock wins, Cena's lost to him at two straight Mania's - and you've got to get the belt off Rock in time for his next movie.
But the angle would be good at least!
Now your stories!
