BoD Ideas
By Scott Keith on October 21, 2013
Bound for Glory is making for a DEAD Sunday here on the blog, so hopefully some reader questions can perk it up. TNA YOU LET ME DOWN IN EVERY WAY.
Scott,
On the BoD, we have a tendency to retcon booking decisions and beat up WWE when angles don't play out a certain way. I pose the following questions as a sort of "before it happens" brainstorming session. Not as much a set of predictions as a simple collection of BoD ideas before WWE even starts down a given road.
1. There is some grassroots support for Sami Zayn's promotion to the main roster. BoDers, what do you do with him when he gets promoted?
2. When and how do you break up the Shield?
3. What is the best use of Sheamus when he returns?
4. If the tag team division is supposedly getting another collective push, what are some tag team ideas and what guys do you combine?
1. Personally, I think he's gonna be the next Daniel Bryan in that he's a guy who doesn't exude obvious star power, but fans already buy into him as a pure babyface and if they find a spark to get the general fanbase behind him he could take off. A good start is playing Ricky Morton as half of a tag team, because he sells a beating EXTRAORDINARILY well and makes people want to see him come back. He'd work really well in the role they were prepping Zack Ryder for: John Cena's setup guy and little buddy, the never-say-die dude who the heels have to get through in tough matches to get to Cena. Would have been perfect for Ryder if they hadn't changed their minds and made him into a bizarre example instead. Hell, move Cena out of the main event for a while and put HIM in a team with Zayn as the hot tag guy and you'd have something pretty awesome.
2. Still lots of juice there. I'd go next Summerslam and try Rollins as the babyface victim, maybe replace him with someone else in the group like Ohno to keep things fresh.
3. HHH's ass-kissing stooge and muscle. IT WORKS ON SO MANY LEVELS.
4. I already mentioned Cena/Zayn. I'd turn Miz again and take another shot with Awesome Truth because that's as close as he ever got to being a legit main event threat before Rock and Cena cut them off at the knees. Air Boom still had lots of potential before Bourne's pot smoking and injuries derailed it. Is he even around still? Big E is a guy who DESPERATELY needs something to do, and putting him back with Ziggler as babyfaces wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Dolph is the logical face in peril and Big E does the hot tag.
