Official "Booking Committee" Thread

[FankuKaibutsu]

The current lineup is Rock, D'Lo, Kama/Godfather, Mark Henry, and Owen Hart

 

Wait, that is 5 guys. You say you need a suggestion for a 5th Nation member, but there's already 5 people in the group?

 

Also, just thought about it since my last post: A young Ron Killings should be in that mod, probably in NWA Wildside or something.

With the name World, you have a lot of options for potential names and tournament setups -- I'd personally go with World Tag Crown [PGHW inspired] but the World Tag League and the World Tag Summit both make sense. </p><p> </p><p> I'd actually consider a round-robin format with two team pools. WCW had several main-event level teams, and the World Tag League allow them to participate without relinquishing their Main Event titles -- for example, Sting could still chase and defend the WCW World Heavyweight Championship while competing in the World Tag League. </p><p> </p><p> I'd list my personal setup here:</p><p> </p><p> Sting and Luger</p><p> The Raging Bulls (Manny Fernandez & Rick Rude) [aka Paul Jones Army]</p><p> The Steiner Brothers </p><p> The Skyscrapers (Dan Spivey & Sid Vicious)</p><p> Doom (Butch Reed & Ron Simmons)</p><p> The Von Erichs (Kevin Von Erich & Kerry Von Erich)</p><p> </p><p> The U.S. Express (Barry Windham & Mike Rotunda)</p><p> The Road Warriors (Road Warrior Hawk & Road Warrior Animal)</p><p> The Rock & Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton)</p><p> The Freebirds (Michael Hayes, Jimmy Garvin, Terry Gordy & Diamond Dallas Page)</p><p> Dusty Rhodes & Nikita Koloff</p><p> The Midnight Express (Stan Lane & Bobby Eaton)</p><p> </p><p> Again, not sure how many of these teams are active in 1989 -- this is from 1991 -- or available. Each of these teams contains one man who could main event a TV Taping -- and most of them have good profiles and/or high experience. I'd actually switch your title to Sting and have him defend against Rick Rude in this scenario. </p><p> </p><p> Point being, The World Tag Crown (or Crockett Cup) has significant value in WCW -- more than in the WWF at the time.</p>

[KnowYourEnemy]

<p>One further thing to consider -- put the Fabulous Ones [steve Keirn & Stan Lane] in the tournament against a Horseman Team (???/Eaton). I'm not sure who is currently in your Horseman... I'd recommend the 4th Member. </p><p> </p><p>

Stan Lane could get a measure of revenge on his partner [with Steve Kiern] and further the storyline/breakup feud.</p>

<p>I need ideas for an Undertaker feud heading into WrestleMania 33. I'm close to the Rumble. Top guys on SmackDown alongside Undertaker include Chris Jericho, AJ Styles (the current world champion), Baron Corbin, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Bobby Roode and Cesaro.</p><p> </p><p>

I dunno if I wanna do an interbrand feud involving Undertaker. If so, guys on Raw who could face him include Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins and Rusev. But I think I'll stick with guys on the same brand as Taker.</p>

Cesaro turning heel (?) and taking him on to finally get the recognition he feels he deserves writes itself

 

Might do that myself actually now Ive wrote it

 

TBH my SmackDown main event scene is fairly heel-heavy.

[MattL1222]

<p>In my WWE game I signed some people to NXT and I want to be semi realistic and repackage/rename some but i dont got anything in mind so I figured why not ask on the forum, I got a few thoughts on gimmicks though if that will help</p><p> </p><p>

Tony Nese</p><p>

Christina Von Eerie: A sort of Punk Princess type gimmick, think a punk queen who commands other punks or something</p><p>

Veda Scott: A face who is gonna be under a rich girl gimmick</p><p>

Divina Fly/Rosita</p><p>

Gran Metallik</p><p>

Ho Ho Lun</p><p>

Jessicka Havok: A monster heel that is also crazy, think a female umaga, gimmick wise</p><p>

Lince Dorado</p><p>

Zack Sabre Jr</p><p>

Shaul Guerrerro</p><p>

Su Yung</p><p>

TJ Perkins</p><p> </p><p>

Some people on the roster I wanna repackage are Zack Ryder since I reformed his team with Curt Hawkins and had him turn heel by attacking Mojo Rawley</p>

Sabre and Perkins are in the Cruiserweight classic under those names already too, so changing them would bother me, but if it doesn;t bother you I understand.</p>

[MattL1222]

Makes sense to me, in that case then forget about changing Perkins, Sabre and Gran, the rest are fair game. also I am signing Adam Cole

can you guys think of a good name for a combined Burning Hammer Of The Wrestling Gods and Pride Glory Honor Wrestling?</p>

Looking for a name for my G1 style tournament I plan on doing in my Smackdown save. So far the best option I've come up with is the Champions Cup. Winner will be granted a title shot and more than likely at WrestleMania.
