My Dream Match for Survivor Series 08

[NeanderCarl]

Surprised you didn't bring in Doug Basham in there somewhere. Not a bad idea but it won't happen. Jericho forming a stable is a good plan, though. Just having Lance Cade wandering around with him like a sheep isn't helping anyone really. Doesn't add to the feud, and doesn't get Cade over.

That's what I dislike about Cade's current alliance with Jericho. It just seems like he's a shadow, and he's not adding much to Jericho's run as a heel. He seems more a distraction than anything.

In my scenario, I gave Lance Cade his own streak of heelish behaviour to run off (trying to sleep with Rebecca Michaels; holding a deep enough resentment for Shawn Michaels to want to see him hurt, retired and destroyed on every level), and I have him actually out-last Jericho in their Survivor Series match, and actually scoring the win for his team. Hopefully some of this would add up to making Cade a credible heel with his own motivations.

The turns are a bit messy, but there's really only two of them. Brian Kendrick seems to turn face, but it wouldn't be a change of his character. More the fans just getting behind Kendrick because he and his hired muscle were fighting alongside Shawn fucking Michaels. When he abandons Shawn Michaels, it is more him trying to take the spotlight for himself, and just do something drastic rather than joining Chris Jericho's group. He remains a part of SmackDown!, and does his own thing, and makes fun of HBK for trusting him when Kendrick has evolved beyond the master. Kendrick would have his own shit going on for most of it. It's just a re-affirmation of his heel status.

Paul London turning heel is something I'm not too big on, but for the purposes of a Shawn Michaels stable, I think it could be cool. Especially if he was all about transforming Shawn Michaels into someone he could again idolise. There seem to be a few Joker-like characters floating around in the WWE today (I've seen Chris Jericho and Edge compared to him, and Kane is pretty nuts, too), but London taking the sadistic and seemingly idealistic qualities of The Joker could be pretty fun stuff. I meant to include a line he could drop after turning on Shawn Michaels in regard to the secretly filming Lance Cade with Rebecca Michaels stuff, "Who do you think was holding the camera?" He was in on it the whole time.

Shawn Michaels changing his look is something that of course would be controversial, but it's recently really started to bother me how bald Shawn Michaels looks. If he just accepted it, and went with it, it'd be far less bothersome. It'd also add to the irony of the story: Both Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho have changed their images and attitudes, and one could even make the proposition that this was what Jericho wanted all along: To have some form of influence over Shawn Michaels.

Im not sure this program can now go to a Ladder Match. It seems logical because both guys are good at them, but there's something about a Ladder Match that doesnt scream blood fued to me. I almost think this should just end in a Cage Match. HBK could bloody Jericho and beat him. They could do a bunch of eye spots with the cage.

Problem with a Ladder Match is that they come across more as spot fests, rather than a brutal match.
