if you had the budget for a middle-tier promotion like TNA but you could go apeshit with booking, what show would you book, who would you sign?
Alexander Hammerstone is the only unsigned wrestler I’m familiar with that isn’t from the wwe. So him. And I guess Sheamus and all the Indian guys wwe fired.
>>21434513>and all the Indian guys wwe firedI don't know what Shanky is up to, but one half of Indus Sher, the guy who was originally Veer, went back to India and apparently became a hindu monk
>>21434527I def need the Bollywood boys, they were very over in their aew appearance. And of course former world champion Jinder Mahal.
If we're trying to book All Jeet Wrestling (Jeet means victory) then we need to find a place on the card for Big Bramha Kulfi himself.
>>21434735inaugural tag team champions with Rakesh Kumar Orton
I would sign all the guys from TNA and ROH who would immediately jump ship for a slightly bigger salary. So the likes of Jinder, Heath, Curt Hawkins, Rhino, Gallows and Anderson, Jay Lethal, and old farts who are down to one-time appearances like Scott Steiner, 2 Cold Scorpio, D’Lo BrownAlso a few guys from WWE who were probably affordable if they were released, like Otis, Solo, Corbin, R-TruthThen I would treat it like WWE 2K14 and book the most retarded gimmicks and angles I could come up with
>>21434498>try build a heavyweight division with whatever wwe/nxt casteoffs that are still unsigned>make a hardcore division with all the decent deathmatch shitters cause we all know they aint signed>make a cruiseweight division on the cheap with flippy mexicans
I would go full on weird, 100% over the top characters. No more average guys wearing tiny black shorts doing flippy shit. I want Abdullah the Butcher, I want Cactus Jack, I want Vader I want the repo man I want a tag team made up of fat nerds called Th3 Haxxerz I want women with fake big titties I want midgets that smack people in the balls.
Name value is overrated. ECW was basically local drunkards, foreign guys and people who got fired from the big promotions.
>>21435534same, I would book gimmicks like Mr. Kendo who walks around in a raincoat and pulls out a kendo stick from under it to hit people in the back with it, a powerhouse strongfat guy named Brutus Ragnarok who is mentally handicapped and can only scream ‘Brutuuus’ as a war cry, Konstantin who always paints tiger stripes on his face cause as a kid he fell into the tiger den in the zoo and had to kill the tiger because was already a 7 feet tall genetic freak at age 10, shit like that
>>21434498Wtf were they thinking with this look
>>21436125Max Moon was originally Comet Kid, so I think they went for the same aesthetic that was the basis for Buzz Lightyear three years later
>>21434498I want to see a racial anxiety gimmick. They would wrestle clean and honest when against someone of their own race. However, when their opponent is a different race, they get nervous and anxious. They ask the ref to check them for weapons. Hesitate to lock up with them. Taking constant powders to create distance. Etc
>>21437388>pinning a jewish wrestler clean for the 3 count but victory is retroactively awarded to him because he sues you and the promotion while insisting he is the victim
>>21435609
No more flippy shitters or buff guys with no charisma.
I don't want to run a fed
I would make an underground promotion but British just for lulz
>>21434498I'd be pretty much doing MLW but sort of build it up for a 2 annual big shows. Trying to find some more fresh faces in it would be preferable..
