TPWW Forums - View Single Post - With the draft due up in 4 weeks...where SHOULD talent be placed

Now that I really think about it, I'm absolutely of the belief that Funaki should be drafted to RAW. Dare I say it, I would go with the shocking upset of having him defeat Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Championship. The WWE has not announced an Intercontinental Championship match for Night of Champions yet. I wonder why this is, with the PPV approaching pretty rapidly, especially considering it was the logical outcome of Jericho turning Shawn Michaels last week.

The draft is held in San Antonio, Texas. Shawn Michaels will be there in some capacity. He'll have some sort of impact on the show. It is also the town in which Funaki claims residence, I think. He is a massive Shawn Michaels fan. It all sort of adds up to something that could be used:

Chris Jericho is defending the IC Title against the next draftee to RAW. Funaki comes out, is announced as "residing in San Antonio, Texas," and Jericho can taunt Funaki before the match, saying that he is a big Shawn Michaels fan, and he gets to embarrass him in front of his family and neighbours. Funaki has a Roderick Strong to Kurt Angle moment, where he says that he's not sure he can beat Jericho, but he can do this. He proceeds to slap Jericho across the face, and we get right into the match, with Funaki embarrassing Jericho with his advantage at the start of the match, but then Jericho takes over, in predictable fashion.

Jericho hits The Codebreaker on Funaki, and does his cocky pin when Shawn Michaels enters the arena from the other side of the arena from Lance Cade, who has been distracting the referee allowing Jericho to abuse Funaki more than is necessary. HBK slides into the ring, and hits the Sweet Chin Music on Jericho while the referee is distracted. Cade freaks out, and Funaki crawls into the pin, 1-2-3. Funaki is your new Intercontinental Champion! He celebrates with Shawn Michaels on the ramp, who is still playing up the eye injury, and Jericho is of course pissed off.

From there, you can either do Funaki vs. Lance Cade at Night of Champions, or Chris Jericho can cash in his rematch. It wouldn't be a long run for Funaki, but it'd add a notable moment to his career.
