| #1 Posted on 4.3.03 1748.55 Reposted on: 4.3.10 1754.23 | I think the best idea that's being thrown around for the Smackdown WWE Title Match is a tournament, with the final match at WrestleMania. However, I say keep Brock out of the tournament. The tournament is for the chance to meet Brock at WrestleMania for the title. Brock is already the number one contender, so it would actually make sense to just give him the title. However, nobody wants that, so the tournament is set up. Use every talent on the Smackdown roster in the tournament so that everybody is getting a shot at the title. Use the next three Smackdown shows to run the tournament. Sure, there might be a few matches like Funaki vs. Bill DeMott, but putting EVERYBODY in the tournament gives it credibility. Hell, maybe after announcing the tournament, have a few guys jump from RAW so THEY can get a shot at the title. Just something to make it feel a little more special. Either way, the finals at WrestleMania should be Brock vs. Chris Benoit. Benoit really doesn't have anything to do at WM, and Brock and Benoit have formed a bit of a team in the last few weeks, so this would be like partner vs. partner for the title. If possible, have Kurt appear at WrestleMania and do commentary and present the winner of the match with the belt, that is if surgery can be held off for a few more weeks. That's what I think should happen. What about you?

| #2 Posted on 4.3.03 1756.45 Reposted on: 4.3.10 1758.06 | Sounds like a good idea to me. I just wonder how they'll get the belt off Kurt at tonight's SD taping.
And I know you only used them as an illustration, but Bill DeMott vs. Funaki??? Damn. | MonteCarl

| #3 Posted on 4.3.03 1804.07 Reposted on: 4.3.10 1804.18 | I liked the idea of just telling the truth. Have Angle come out with Stephanie at the beginning of the show. Kurt then gives a great promo in the ring explaining the situation and how heartbroken he is to have to do this, puts over Brock (as was suggested in another thread), then Stephanie announces the tournament. I'm sure Kurt will be feeling some very real emotions and even shed a tear or two, which would add to the promo and the meaning behind what he has to do.
And about the "lower" matches. Maybe even extend some tournament matches to Velocity. It would generate interest in the show to see who'd win the tournament and it would make the tournament seem even more special by overtaking BOTH of the Smackdown brand shows. So get ready for those Crash/Nunzio Velocity main events!

| #4 Posted on 4.3.03 1809.23 Reposted on: 4.3.10 1809.40 | I agree, may as well just be honest. It's not like it will hurt his character at all and let's face it, if they try to do some storyline angle it will never be picked up when he returns. The way the fed starts over every 6 months means that there may not even be 2 brands or whatever else once Angle is recovered. So just be honest with it and let the bookers focus on fixing this WM and vacant title mess. | Ubermonkeys

| #5 Posted on 4.3.03 1812.09 Reposted on: 4.3.10 1816.41 | God damn, this is why you can't always be PLAYA HATIN' on fantasy booking. A well thought out idea, based on including EVERYONE in the picture, adds an element of depth with Raw guys jumping ship, and it gives them something to do with Benoit.
I was going to add a few suggestions but then MonteCarl even covered those in his reply to Frosty's post. Excellent work. | MonteCarl

| #7 Posted on 5.3.03 1448.41 Reposted on: 5.3.10 1449.41 | lets say they bring a few raw guys for tourny. id say bring in booker just as a constalation...have him still on raw but come over to SD to fight in the tournament , saying that hes gona try and be in both title matches at mania. have him on raw building the hhh feud and on SD have him go far in the tourny beating a few crediable ppl along the way in kick ass matches and in semi final get beat by benoit via screwjob, hhh in the crowd, something whatever, and it might give him a little momemtem going into mania's world title matches.
i know it'll never happen but thats what i do if they gave me the booking power now, and i had to try and build booker up quickly. | geemoney

Besides, bringing in Raw guys will make this "Brand Extension" an even bigger farce. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
