fantasy character development

[KillerWolf]

this is just stuff i would like to see happen with some wrestlers, because there are ALOT of wrestlers, like RVD for example who have just had no direction for YEARS now.

i must say that i am biased for heels. that is to say i usally find the heel characters more interesting, and for me anyway, its easier to come up with ideas for heel characters than face characters.

anyway i have a lot of ideas for directions some wrestlers can take in order to make the shows more entertaining, to me anyway.

shelton benjamen
face
defeats randy orton cleanly for IC title. becomes great fighting IC champion, bringing honor and prestige back to the IC title. has a painful looking submission hold as his finisher of choice.

RVD
heel
kinda like...cocky and arrogant. antagonizes the crowd and other wrestlers by saying that theyre jealous of his abilities or his looks, ect. goes to the announce table to do commentary during rivals' matches. makes comments like "that was a pretty good dropkick by wrestler x, but it wasnt a 'FIVE-STAR' dropkick.

booker t
face
ya know...like came from the streets and overcame the odds to become a wrestling superstar. oh, and just because he's black doesnt mean he has to do stupid shit...like the SPIN-A-ROONIE. and i think he should use the 'book end' as his finisher of choice. that set-up for the 'scissors kick' is just way to contrived ( you know, a light kick to the stomach rendering a man buckled over and paralized for like ten seconds).

Have to admit the scissor kick in general does look pretty weak. When he actually goes to ground with them it looks like a far stronger move but the way he usually does it, its like a lame kick to the shoulder more often than not.

Meh, that feels a little too generic. The "cocky, arrogant" heel only works if you're really awesome at it, and since Jericho is neither Ric Flair nor Chris Jericho, I'd give him something a little more suited for him.

Besides, I highly doubt people would buy him as a heel. That's been tried quite a few times, actually. He was supposed to be a heel in ECW, and ended up being the top face in the company. He was supposed to be a heel in the InVasion (the beginning of it, anyways) and ended up getting bigger pops than the Rock. RVD is one of those guys who's going to be permanently stuck on one side. Like how Goldberg and Austin's heel runs flopped. And how you will probably never see Christian as a face. People just won't go for it.

Maven
Heel
I would like to see Maven come back and possibly join Orton and become heel. Maven has made it clear on his website that him and Orton are good friends so why not bring that out of the lockerroom and into the ring. Maven has also stated that he would love to become a heel. So that would all work for him.

<font color=goldenrod>Paul London
Face
Eventually starts winning matches on Velocity over fellow Velocity jobber Cruiserweights like Akio and Shannon Moore before eventually becoming a Smackdown regular. Could use the shooting star press as a finisher and possible even team with Kidman (and their tag team finisher is that they both deliver SSPs at the exact same time). London is the one to finally end Chavo's reign as champ and he brings prestige to the title.</font>

Gail Kim

Bring her to Smackdown to manage Akio and Sakoda, who will from now on be referred to as the Jung Dragons. (She'll basically be taking on the Leia Meow role.)

well it'd be a lot more colorful than whatever he has going on right now.

what i hate though is the set-up, where he kicks them in the stomach and they buckle over and wait for the scissors kick.

HHH
heel
basically embraces the nepitism that exists in reallity. shit like, "well i had a talk with my father-in-law, and i get my belt back". he's always the 30th entrant in the Royal Rumble. refs get fired for calling fair matches where HHH loses.

i dunno. i might wanna re-think this one.

jericho

bring back the 'cowardly smart-ass'.

Jericho was a great heel

undertaker
heel
bring back the 'Red Devil' character-disgruntled verteran who demands respect, but never feels that he's getting enough of it.

Good point. Whether or not it'd be successful, that's debatable, but you're right in the fact that it'd be something different.

Undertaker
Retired
Maybe has a hand in booking, but keeps his stupid Undead Cowboy gimmick the hell off my TV.

people never retire when everyone else thinks they should. i agree that the undertaker should retire. the last entertaining match i saw him in was at wrestlemania 18. but he's not gonna retire until HE wants to retire, so in the meantime it would be better IMO for his character to take the direction i stated or some other direction, but i hate undertaker as a babyface.

ya know, i once read an interview with the undertaker where he stated that he 'doesn't want to be in the ring as a shell of his former self'. if thats the case, then he should have retired two years ago. it hurts to say it because i started watching wrestling because of undertaker. but he is a shell of his former self; and reverting to the deadman character magnafies that fact- which is why you have 'deadman 2004' wrestling the same style as 'biker 2003'. i'm suprised he isnt 'shadowboxing' in the ring again already. :rant:
