You're the GM!

[The Real Macho Man]

I would take over RAW and these are some of the fueds i would set up. I am using my own personal roster.

World Heavyweight Champ : John Cena(as a Heel)
Intercontinental Champ : Shelton Benjamin(as a Face)
Womens Champ : Beth Phoenix
Tag Champs : Priceless (unified titles)

Cena would fued with Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, CM Punk and Undertaker over the title. He would eventually drop it to Orton.

Shelton would have a long fued with a heel MVP over the IC strap. It would change hands several times between them with Shelton coming out on top. He would then lose the belt to Morrison in his next fued.

Womens Champ Beth would fued with Melina and Mickie James over the title and I'd have her drop it to Gail Kim eventually.

The Tag Champs would have a long reign so they held the titles in conjunction with Orton so all Legacy has gold.

Other fueds would include Undertaker vs. Umaga, CM Punk vs. MVP, John Morrison vs. Chris Jericho(Y2J as the face), Taker vs. Orton, Jericho vs. Orton, Brothers of Destruction vs Legacy

 

[Savage1]

I'd take RAW...

I would start by giving John Morrison a big push and building on his character. I would build a fued between him and HBK based on a pass that Morrison would make on HBK's wife. Work this angle for 3-4 months, have some great matches, and give Morrison the rub he deserves.

Next I would have Mr. Kennedy fued with Christian for the IC title. Christian as the heel Kennedy as the face. These guys would have some great back and forth banter on the mic every week. Lots of talking and insults cuz they are both great on the mic. Another 3month fued with the final match an I quit match at a big ppv like Suvivor Series. Kennedy wins the title from Christian.

I would Relight the fires of hell underneath Kane and have him reborn with the mask and a better look...more like old school Kane and have him and Taker in a bitter, intense fued that would last the better part of the year and culminate at WM 26 in Takers last WM match. Hell In A Cell or A Casket Match for old times sake. I don't know that I would end the streak but I would definitely make Kane look like the monster he used to be. And Kane would be the guy to beat Taker in his last match for sure, just not at Mania.

Priceless vs The New Hart Foundation (Tyson Kidd and DH Smith) for the tag team championship. I am gonna sound repetitive but I gotta keep with the 3 month fued here and prob will with most of my fueds cuz I think it makes them more effective if done correctly and gives the titles more meaning when you chase them and they dont change hands as often. So these teams go at it to see who are the better of thier respective families' legacy. Priceless hold onto the gold.

Orton vs Jericho vs Kurt Angle...yes I said Kurt Angle...his contract is up soon so in my perfect world I would sign him to RAW and have him in the title match at Mania and only show up 2 months prior to the Grandaddy of them all to get into the fued and win the WHC at Mania! Thats what I would do with my time as GM. There is plenty more but I cant write for hours...I have other shit to do...like watch wrestling!

 

[muzzerman]

I would be GM of RAW.

WWE Champ - Triple H (face)
IC Champ - Jeff Hardy (face)
Tag Champs - MVP & Mr Kennedy (face)
Women's Champ - Mickie James (heel)

Randy Orton challenges for the WWE Title but loses after Stephanie Mcmahon low blows him.
Then Y2J turns face by calling Orton a suck up after he begs me for a title shot. It's a triple threat match and Jericho wins when Orton punts HHH, taunts him and Y2J hits the Codebreaker for the win.

Jeff Hardy beats Shelton Benjamin, Santino Marella and Rey Mysterio in a Fatal 4-way. The next night Matt Hardy says Jeff was lucky and Jeff would once again lose to Matt like he did in the Extreme Rules and the Stretcher match. At the PPV, Jeff retains against Matt.

MVP and Mr Kennedy win the tag titles against The Colons and Priceless. Then MVP gets jealous that Kennedy gets the win every time the compete. They lose to Priceless and engage in a huge fued with each other which in the next year becomes over the IC Title as well.

Mickie James is the Womens Champ and dominates until a returning Trish Stratus beats her in a Hardcore open challenge.

So here's the point of this thread:
Which show would you want to be General Manager of?
Who would you set as champions?
What feuds would you set up?

I would choose RAW as this is my favourite brand.

The champions on my show would be:

World Heavyweight Champion: KANE (simply because Kane is my fav but also because I've never been given a proper chance to see him as a dominant champion. The WWE always drop the ball with him. So whether he wants the belt or not, I would put it on him and let him run with it. I would also turn him into the dominating monster heel he once was and this is how his character is most effective imo)

IC Champion: CODY RHODES (I like Rhodes and I think a young talent with his ability could restore some faith to this forgotton great belt. Not to mention it could possibly help in propelling Cody to greater things)


Tag Team Champions: PRICELESS (RHODES AND DIBIASE) (I would establish Priceless as a main aspect of the brand and allow them to run with the tag titles. Again, I would allow Rhodes to hold two belts in order to establish him as a solid contender before moving him onto bigger things)

Womens Champion: MARYSE (I would draft Maryse to Raw and put the woman's belt on her. She is cocky, confident, good looking and has tons of potential to be a great heel. imo she could def restore some life into Raw's division)

Feuds

Kane v Undertaker (revisit a fav feud of mine and add new twists, culminating in a final showdown at a big event)

Cody Rhodes v Randy Orton (I would ultimately split up Legacy and allow Rhodes and Orton to feud, possibly over the IC Title. I would allow Cody to go over and retain. It's simple, Cody could do with a valuable win over someone like Orton who is already well over as a star. Meanwhile Dibiase would stay with Orton until inevitably they would split as well before commencing a feud between those two). Before all this, I would maybe try and run an angle were Orton attempts to take over Raw by recruiting loads of young second/third generation wrestlers etc....

Batista v Cena (only this time I would do it right, make Batista a full on heel and have the match culminate after a proper build up)

Shawn Michaels v Cody Rhodes (Perhaps have this over the IC title again. I would also really like to see these two go at it. I think working with a guy like Shawn could really help young talent like Rhodes and Dibiase. Also if Michaels was involved with this divison, there is a chance more credibility would be added to the IC belt once more.)

 

[ThePeoplesChampion]

Ok i would be GM of Smackdown....want a challenge but dont want to be hopeless with ECW....

Ok my roster would consist of Edge, Big Show, Christan, The Hardys, Umaga, Shelton Benjamin, Undertaker, Chris Jericho, John Morrison, Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly, Mickie James, nedia (idk how to spell it),layla, William Regal, The Brian Kendrick, Jimmy Wang Yang (to lost all the time), Kofi Kingston.

WHC- Edge (stay a heel, thats where he's best at) feud with Big Show till Judgement Day. Then have jeff beat him hold it till summerslam where he loses it to his brother Matt hardy. He loses it to jeff the next pay per view. Jericho wins it at the rumble. holds it till he loses it to edge in the elimination chamber...jericho eliminated by Taker creating a feud for Wrestlemania.....Which sets up the epic Fatal Four TLC match for the WHC between Edge vs. Matt hardy vs. Christan vs. Jeff hardy....Christan wins his first world title ( in WWE)

US Title- William Regal until till Great American Bash Big Show beats him he dominates until he is faced up against Umaga in a epic battle at Armageddon he holds till No Way Out Kofi wins it....the rest go into the money in the bank match at mani

Divas title- Mickie James which has easy matches until she faces someone as good as her in hart at summerslam where she loses...hart dominates till a fluke at rumble and kelly kelly wins holds till wrestlemania where we have a dream match.....kelly kelly vs. Michelle McCool in a bra and panties match at mania....every mans dream match .

OK....I'm not posting in response to the question at hand. I'm posting to find out why everyone thinks DH Smith is some credible player in the WWE. I know we all heard rumors of his possible involvement with the Legacy angle, the possibility of teaming up with Tyson Kidd and Natalya to form a new Hart Foundation, etc., etc. etc. Here's the problem: DH SMITH DOES NOT WRESTLE ON ANY OF THE 3 MAIN ROSTERS!!!!!! He will never be half of what his father was, and he'll never be a quarter of what his Uncles were. Give it up. It's obvious that the WWE isn't planning on making everyone's wet dreams come true. Drop the thoughts on DH Smith being an impact star anytime soon. It's annoying.

By the way: in response to the posted thread, I understand this is a fantasy type question, but the problem I read in every thread is this: these ideas lack long-term stability. I am the first to agree with many of the posters on what feuds (FEUD is spelled this way, not fued) they would like to see, but the reason none of us work for WWE is because of posts like these. There is no long term vision. This is why HHH beat Orton at WM25. There is a long term view of where this all will go. With all of the posted ideas, WWE would be awfully stale within a year.

 

[tnasuxs]

Many consider the product stale. Have you read some of the people's thoughts before and after WrestleMania? I don't necessarily, but not everyone is throroughly entertained by the current product.

This wasn't meant to be treated as some serious thread. It was interesting and I have enjoyed some of the ideas. Some of them, I thought lacked thought but oh well. It's been one of the threads where people have voiced their opinons without insulting each other.

Did you want a 5 year plan? Some people pitching short-term ideas. Some of them are interesting and some of them will end up on TV.

As for the "fued" or "feud," it is a message board. Really, don't feel like doing a full-blown spell check for something as trivial as this. But thanks for the correction.

 

[ratedRKO17]

id choose raw.

make randy orton champ

make batista turn on hhh and become heel
and fight hhh

have shawn michaels and john cena face off


well thts juss a lil bit..i have a lot of ideas..

 

[jarose24]

I'm going to take this a little bit farther and predict the draft picks of this upcoming Raw and run with what I'll have.

Raw will lose:
John Cena (WH champ) to Smackdown
(the WWE will continue to deemphasize the brand extension anyways so expect to see him on Raw anyways)
Rey Mysterio (IC Champ) to Smackdown
Chris Jericho to Smackdown
CM Punk to Smackdown

Raw will gain:
Triple H
Jeff Hardy
M.V.P
Umaga
R-Truth
Mr. Kennedy
Hurricane Helms

Off the top of my head those are the big names I could think of. I didn't wanna just take who I wanted althought that would be so much easier.



I'd have Randy Orton as my running heel on Raw holding the WWE Championship he will beat Triple H shortly for it. Randy will and The Legacy will beat Triple H Shane and Batista at Backlash. But not before taking Batista out of the match beforehand. This saves Batista's comeback steam as well as gives Orton more heat.

Essentially Triple Orton will be the money program involving the WWE Championship. Triple H will finally lose the belt to Orton at Judgement Day. This will set up a rematch at "Extreme Rules" Orton will go over Triple H again essentially ending the feud.

For the rest of the summer Triple H will do battle with Kane. Orton will turn his focus to Batista but before he can do that CM Punk will cash in his MITB at Summerslam with advanced warning. Here's how the big matches at Summerslam play out on the Raw side:

For the WWE Championship:
Randy Orton (c) vs. CM Punk

Shawn Micheals vs. Undertaker
(I want to capitalize on their great showing from WM XXV, start the build at or before GAB. Giving both guys ample time off before hand.)

Triple H vs. Kane inferno match

Cena-Batista II
For the World Heavyweight Championship

For the United States Championship
M.V.P (now heel again) vs. Mr. Kennedy (returning)

Women's Championship Triple Threat Santino Marella as special guest ref
Melina vs. Michelle Mcool vs. Beth Phoenix

Jeff Hardy, Hurricane Helms, and R-Truth vs. Matt Hardy and Priceless

To keep this short, what else to cover and build for overall for Wrestlemania XXVI

Get one more HBK/Undertaker match in, either at Survivor Series but preferably the Royal Rumble

Pick away at Hogan and work a deal to find a spot for him on the card at Wrestlemania

Stay in touch with pop culture to successfully lure in top celebs for Wrestlemaina

Also get the rubber match in for Cena-Batista III at the Royal Rumble so it can........set wheels in motion for: Wrestlemania XXVI

WWE Championship match
Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena vs. Batista
Cena will go over

Announced: Farewell match
HBK vs. HHH
Normally I wouldn't do this but Micheals will go over on his way out

Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho

World Heavyweight Title Match
CM Punk (c) vs. Edge
(Edge costs Punk WWE Championship at Summerslam in his return to the ring, Punk wins championship scramble match for World Heavyweight title)

Big Show vs. Hulk Hogan
Havin Hogan return at The Royal Rumble as a friend of the Big Show and give Big Show a face rub. The two will team together in conflict against 2 others that will feel right at the time. After No Way Out Big Show will turn on Hogan setting up their match at Wrestlemania
Hogan wins and gets what could be a farewell match

Wtih the deemphasis of the brand split these are the big matches that will see time on Raw heading into Wrestlemania that I have loosley planned for at this point today

 

[Scott Free]

So by some weird chance, Vince McMahon calls you up and says, "Hey, I want you to be a new GM in my company, and you will be given some major creative control, except that I have the final say."

I'd tell him to take a hike.
Why would I waste my time in coming up with creative storylines, work my butt off in getting the talent to agree to pull them off, and then get Vince telling me how he thinks that's the wrong "direction" and how he sees the show playing out ? Seriously, do you actually think the WWE doesn't have creative and talented people working in their staff ? They sure as hell do, but guess what ? Every time those kind of people try and come up with new, different and actually good ideas, they get shot down and Vince gets to do things his way. Freddie Prince Jr. was heralded by the WWE as a major acquisition, how long did he last ? He couldn't wait to get the hell out of there, why ? Vince micromanages EVERYTHING !

This comment isn't to try to insult you or be an a**whole towards you for your opinion but can you honestly say, from the perspective of a true wrestling fan, that you would turn down the opportunity to work for the biggest wrestling franchise on the face of the earth??? I know this thread was purely an opinion based thread but I think I speak for a hell of alot of wrestling fans when I say that most of us would give nearly anything to be in there working with the people and legends of this business who are associated with WWE!

The question was about becoming a major player directly under Vince, hence the response, I don't know if you follow the latest news, but he's not easy to work with, Taz is the latest casualty of Vince's charming personality. You must understand that working for the WWE is another story, I'd rather be working in their video production facilities of course. I've been involved in "creative" meetings, and let me tell you, it's no fun to begin with, but when you have a control freak with final say, it's not worth doing at all. Watch a realistic portrait of a creative meeting in the first few minutes of the movie "The Majestic" it's pretty much spot on.

 

[joedaman69]

I would take Raw and let go of all them and bring TNA in.. then I would have a love triangle with Kurt and Sting Since TNA is the only real wrestling there is.
