[Mr. Nerfect]

This is just a thread where we can discuss ways to get misused talent in the WWE into the limelight. Try and ge them from their current place on the card into the main event, even as far as being World Champion.

This is only semi-serious, as ideas like these will probably never happen in the WWE, but it does allow ourselves to stretch ourselves creatively and sniff out possible storylines for the WWE to use instead of releasing guys because "creative has nothing for them".

First on my agenda is Val Venis:

On RAW, Vince McMahon is backstage when he is approached by Val Venis. Venis says he knows Vince McMahon gets off on manipulation and feeling in control. McMahon agrees with this. Venis says if that is the case, Venis wants to voluntarily join the Vince McMahon "Kiss My Ass" club next week on RAW. Vinnie Mac accepts, and we get little articles on WWE.com about it.

The next week on RAW, Vince McMahon is out and cuts a promo about respecting authority. He talks about how Venis chose the WWE over WCW even when WCW offered him more money. He mentions Venis being a member of his administration for a while early on in the brand split. He then introduces us to Val Venis, who comes out in a nice suit. McMahon drops his trousers and Val Venis gets on one knee before getting up to address the fans who are booing. Venis says that he has been beneath a glass ceiling for the last eight years of his career, and he has only seen the light at the end of the tunnel a few times. Venis says he is sick of being lost, and he wants Vince McMahon to take him out of the labyrinth he is currently in. Venis then kisses Vince McMahon's ass, and McMahon says that what Venis did wasn't embarrassing, it was monumental. McMahon then says that as a reward for realising who the higher power in the WWE is, Venis can expect some benefits coming his way.

We don't see Venis doing anything too special again until Saturday Night Main Event. During the Street Fight he runs out with a steel chair. Venis nails Shawn Michaels, allowing Shane McMahon to get the win. Venis then beats on Michaels and puts him in the Venis Flytrap.

As a reward for helping the McMahons get one over Michaels, Vince McMahon makes Val Venis the Special Guest Referee in his match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania. Vince McMahon also adds the stipulation that if Shawn Michaels loses this match, he will be forced to take a reduced schedule. Over the weeks it becomes apparent Vince McMahon will reward Val Venis with a WWE Title Shot if McMahon wins at WrestleMania. During that match, Venis helps Vince McMahon get control, and ends up working most of the match. Whenever Shawn looks to hit Venis back, Venis reminds Shawn he is the Special Guest Referee. McMahon ends up winning the match, which means HBK has to semi-retire, while Val Venis will receive a title shot in the near future.

That title shot comes the next night on RAW. At WrestleMania, John Cena defeated Triple H to retain the WWE Championship. Have that match end with an F-U off the top rope. The main event is your basic match, as we are reminded constantly that Venis didn't actually wrestle a match to earn his title shot, and he got it by kissing ass (literally) and beating on a man who couldn't fight back. John Cena looks to put Venis awya with a Top Rope F-U, but Triple H is out as the ref is distracted by something, and he hangs Cena up across the top rope. Cena is lying prone on the mat, as Venis adjusts himself on the top turnbuckle. Venis poses before unloading...The Money Shot! 1-2-3! Val Venis is your new WWE Champion.

John Cena goes on to face Triple H in a Street Fight, or something of the like, at Backlash. Also at Backlash, Val Venis defends the WWE Championship against Shawn Michaels, who finally gets the chance to get his hands on Venis.
