WWKD has a great idea, but it seems too "indy" for the WWE to really use. It would be great, though.
Watching SmackDown!, I actually got the hope that MVP will beat Flair at the Rumble. It's insane, but I think MVP doing it would do wonders for him. He looked good in the ring against Batista, something only a handful of guys have done. Flair is an old man, so him losing to MVP isn't the biggest leap of faith the WWE has ever required. Part of me just wants to see it happen because it seems obvious that the WWE is going through to WrestleMania with the angle, so having Flair lose before then would be refreshing in a bizarre sort of way.
The reaction MVP would get if he hit The Playmaker on Ric Flair, and then got the 1-2-3 would be so surreal. It'd be more disbelief than anything. You then have MVP celebrate all over the place, flaunting around his WWE United States Title. Ric Flair then gets up to his feet, gets a mic, and cuts a promo about bowing out, and how he's not ashamed to lose in New York City, where he was born, and now his in-ring career dies. Flair says that this is the mecca of sports entertainment, and that MVP has the potential to be the best in the business, obviously. Flair calls MVP "The Man," and says he would be honoured if he could manage MVP. Porter accepts Flair's offer, and the two men shake hands.
Flair's first act is to get MVP into the Royal Rumble Match, where the current stand-out for winner is The Undertaker. Instead, The Edge Heads run in and attack Taker and Batista, which weakens them enough to be tossed. The winner of the Rumble is, in fact, MVP, who has the night of his career.
WrestleMania is in MVP's home state, and MVP is slowly growing in popularity. Have him jump brands and go over Randy Orton, or someone, there. MVP wins the WWE Championship in the main event of WrestleMania, and celebrates with Ric Flair, who has been inducted into the 2008 Hall of Fame.
Just an idea that came to me in a flash. Not sure if it's the absolute best thing the WWE can do, but one thing that irks me (and several other people) about the Flair angle, is how predictable it is going to turn out. There is money in the pay-off, but you can still have Flair involved in money angles, something he might actually do better away from the ring, at this stage in his life.
