Ivory
I've had my sights set on Ivory specifically because of the work she did with Stevie Richards and others in Tight to Consor. Right to Censor was in my opinion one of the best midcard acts the WWE has ever produced. They were genuinely hated by the fans, Ivory and Richards in particular. Ivory played her part as the stern, antagonistic feminist brilliant, especially considering the character was so far removed from her real life persona. Ivory had promo skills that were the equal of any other female that stepped foot in the WWF/E ring, and had the phsique and the physicality to mix it up with the men when required.
Although obviously credit must be given to both women, in my opinion Ivory's best matches in terms of wrestling skill were against Molly Holly. The two competed on an almost weekly basis on HEAT, with the popular Ivory getting the win more often than not. Here's a clip of the two going at it at Armageddon:
An expose on why RTC were just so good:
Of course any look at Ivory's in ring career would not be complete without including her work with Jacqueline which helped elevate the Women's Division above anything seen previously. The following video is from later in their respective careers:
Finally, a clip of Ivory helping to launch the career of Trish Stratus:

Dick Murdoch
I'm picking Dick Murdoch because I believe that he's one of the very best wrestlers left who haven't been picked, as well as being a lot better than many who have been picked. He also fits in nicely with some guys on my roster for various reasons, which I will explain later
Although Murdoch is mainly known for being a heel, I think that he was at his best when he was a face, but wrestled in a style bordering on heel. He was a no-nonsense kind of wrestler and he always had little variations in his matches, doing something a little differently every time
Ted DiBiase once said that the only reason that Murdoch was never a world champion was because promoters didn't think they could trust him because he was such a big practical joker outside of the ring. I think it was Dusty Rhodes who said that JBL is the new Dick Murdoch. While Dick was a better in-ring worker, they are similar in a few ways. Especially their promos:
Here's a clip from a match between Murdoch and Terry Funk (also on my roster). They just don't do it like this anymore
:
Some notable achievements:
WWF Tag Team champion
Mid-South North American champion
Mid-South tag team champion
NWA Florida Southern Heavyweight champion
NWA Florida Tag Team champion
NWA Tri-State Brass Knuckles champion
WWC Heavyweight champion
PWI's Most Inspirational Wrestler of 1974
And I'll wrap things up with one more video:

Rd1: Hulk Hogan
Rd2: John Cena
Rd3: Yokozuna
Rd4: Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka,
Rd5: Tazz & Raven
Rd6: Don Muraco & Cowboy Bob Orton
Rd7: Mr Fuji
Rd8: Ron Simmons
Rd9: Alundra Blayze/Madusa
For my 10th and final pick I decided to got with someone who could feud with Alundra Blayze/Madusa but yet could mix it up with the Men and could prehaps be a good heel foil for one man in particular (Yoko) therefore my 10th pick is...
Aja Kong -
Kong may not be that well known to people who dont know their Japanise wrestling, but that can argueably be blamed on Aluindra blayze for ending the WWF womens division with her defection to WCW with the title just when Aja had arrived and was being built up. She has won several championships in both singles and tag team divisions throughout her career, primarily while with All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling aswell as being the founder of the ARSION all-women professional wrestling promotion. She previously feuded with Alundra in Japan and was brought in to the WWF to set up a Blayze/Kong feud but Blayze left before the bout could occur, even though it had been advertised by WWF Magazine as one of the matches at the 1996 Royal Rumble.
below is the first time Alundra and Kong faced off in the ring, its a survivor series style match where Kong is the sole survivor, Mr Perfect adds colour commentary with JR
She had much better matches including a number of 5-star matches but they are all around the 30min mark and i wouldent expect people to watch them...but they are worth it for instance vs Manami Toyota (should be on youtube) below is one of her finishers she deliverd four times during one of those matches that illustrate just what a destructive force she could be.Championships and accomplishments

"Oooooh yes!"
I am very happy with how my roster has developed and I felt I needed this man to form the final piece of my jigsaw. Oooooh yes my final pick will be one of the greatest managers of all time, the hideous demon that is...Paul Bearer!
When I earlier picked Kane you may have noticed in the videos I provided that Paul Bearer featured prominently and I always felt Kane was more menacing when he had Bearer to act as his mouthpiece. Paul Bearer had perhaps the scariest voice in wrestling and was great at delivering creepy and sinister promos as this short clip shows...
He was named PWI Illustrated's manager of the year in 1998 when he was in the corner of Kane and he also featured in the WWE's recent World's Greatest Managers DVD. You can hear the likes of Vince McMahon, Jerry Lawler and Bobby Heenan speak on his character here (about 3 minutes and 30 seconds in):
And here is one of my favourite moments when he returned at Wrestlemania 20 in the corner of The Undertaker to face Kane. Notice the massive pop from the fans when they hear his voice. I also love what he says to Kane..."You're no son of mine!"
I think putting Paul Bearer in the corner of Kane will make The Big Red Machine an even bigger force on my roster which is important for me as the big man is very much in my plans.
My final roster...
Singles guys:
Bret 'The Hitman' Hart
Rowdy Roddy Piper
Kane w/Paul Bearer
CM Punk
Bad News Brown
'Dr Death' Steve Williams
Tag teams
The Rock 'N' Roll Express
The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers
Diva/Valet:
Maria Kanellis'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'

Okays, so here is my tenth, and final pick.
A former Lightheavyweight Champion, and a well-travelled performer, capable of igniting the fans...
ESSA RIOS
Rios was a great mid-card act for the WWE throughout the attitude era, and particularly in 2000, as accompanied by Lita. A cool, cocky heel, with swagger and the high-spots to back up his attitude, he'd be a good foil to the more high-flying faces on my roster.
Rios was always capable of more than he achieved in the WWE, and would be a neat way to round out my roster.
Here's a couple vids for those who missed him...

I'm gonna go with..
As i have Muhammad Hassan on my roster already. I think it'd be nice to have them both together. Lets face it, both together are 100 times better than one on their own.
Daivari is a pretty cool cruiserweight wrestler, plays an excellent heel (was also brilliant with Kurt Angle i thought) and is comfortable on the mic.
I know it doesnt make any shocking changes or huge additions to my roster, but i think its a great benefit to one of my wrestlers.0 -
So far my selections have been: The Dynamite Kid, Davey Boy Smith, Vader, Jerry Lawler, Bruiser Brody, Billy Kidman, Ultimo Dragon, Nigel McGuinness and Buddy Rogers.
My final pick will Jerry Lawlers valet. So I thought I'd give him someone he gave a very special mention to in his book, as his favorite diva of all time.
Introducing: Terri Runnells

My last pick is probably the best heel GM and Manager around. He's also cut one of the best promos in WWE history.
Boardsies I give you Paul Heyman!

For my last pick, I'm going for a wrestler who was truly ahead of his time. Had he burst onto the scene ten years later he would have been huge. Former 2 time NWA and a multiple UFC champion
Dan "The Beast" Severn
A man with a prestigious history in amateur wrestling who held various titles in MMA before it exploded in popularity. He held the NWA title for 4 years, the third longest reign in the belts history.He's the man who forced D-LO to wear his legendary chest protector .He effectively cemented his position as the best cross-sport competitor by beating Ken Shamrock at UFC 9. He never even lost his second NWA championship, after being stripped of it due to his unavailabilty to wrestle for TNA. If Severn could have focused on just wrestling with his history in MMA, he couls and should have gone further.
He holds a proud record of 84-17-7 in MMA.He is a UFC hall of famer as well as their 1995 champion and the winner of UFC 5 and 9.
An example of his UFC prowess, notable for it's real life suplexes

Hulk Hogan,John Cena,Yokozuna, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka,Tazz,Raven,Don Muraco,Cowboy Bob Orton,Ron Simmons,Mr Fuji,Alundra Blayze,Aja KongMr.Nice Guy wrote: »a big PPV event is about two months away and that we each have to put forward three+ matches for this event.
ill go with (as id assume most would) The 2months to Wrestlemania including No Way Out.
No Way Out: Augusta Georgia
Main event) Heavyweight Title match: Hogan (c) vs Yokozuna w/Mr Fuji
Match
Fatal Four way IC Title Match: Don Muraco vs Coyboy Bob Orton vs Tazz vs Raven
Match C) Intercontinental No.1 Contenders match: Ron Simmons vs Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka
Promo) Madusa (alundra Blaze) cuts a promo only to be interupted by the debuting Aja Kong
A) After interferance by Mr Fuji and his tag-team of Don Muraco/Cowboy Bob it looks bleak for Hogan until John Cena (who had been taken out 2weeks earlier by Fuji's faction during a No.1 contender no DQ match) makes his truimphant return FU-ing both tag-members and taking Yokozuna's attention for just that slight moment Hulk Hogan needed to get to his feet and prepare to hit the Big Boot, Leg drop and 1-2-3, Hogan retains the title in his hometown and a three way feud has begun between Cena, Yokozuna & the Hulkster.
Winner: Hulk Hogan The rosters two tag-teams are ingulfed in a long running feud, when its announced that at the next PPV a new championship will be unvield to the new federation. In the hope that it will be tag-titles all four wrestlers demand they are involved in the championship decider. However it turns out to be for the new IC title and pits tag partners against each other in a fatal four way. This match leads to the break up of Tazz & Raven who blame each other for their non-victory and begin to feud.
Winner: Don Muraco
C) Snuka is annoyed that he wasnt included in the match for the IC championship and cuts a Promo about how he was the perfect choice to be the 1st IC champion and that it wouldent even have been the first time he would be an inaugural champion having previously been the first ever ECW champion. Therefore he chalenges whoever wins the IC to their first defence, however he is interrupted by Ron Simmons. Simmons has one word to sum up how he feels about Snuka's "Rant" and that of course is "DAMN" if anyone should have been the first IC title holder then he, the first ever african american heavyweight champion would be the perfect choice. So its decided at NWO Simmons vs Snuka no1 contenders match.
Winner: Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka
Wrestlemania: Madison Square Garden
Main event) Triple Threat Title match: Hulk Hogan(c) vs John Cena vs Yokozuna w/Mr Fuji
Match IC title Cage Match: Don Muraco vs Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka
Match C) Extreme rules match: Tazz vs Raven
Match D) Madusa (Alundra Blaze) vs Aja Kong
Dark Match: Ron Simmons vs Bob Orton
Heavyweight division: Hogan, Yokozuna, Cena to a lesser extent Simmons
IC division: Tazz, Raven, Simmons
in between: Snuka & Muraco (lend significance to the IC division title with a feud over it to begin with and occasionally drop down from normal main event status)
Allies: Yoko, Kong, Muraco & Orton w/Fuji (Heels normally)
Hogan, Cena, Alundra, Simmons (Face normally)
Tazz, Raven (Tweeners)
Valets/Love interests: Yoko & Kong, Alundra & multiple people (could lead to feuds between males)
Management: Mr Fuji w/ Muraco/Orton & Yokozuna and Alundra w/ different male singles wrestlers
intergender tags: i.e Yoko/Kong vs Hogan/Alundra ... both the women have fought men before, Alundra being a former CW champ
a few examples of other possibles match ups:
The Money Match
It would obviously have to be built right but despite the fact that it would most likely be a face vs face match (atleast at their first encounter) John Cena vs Hulk Hogan going against each other main eventing any PPV would be money in the bank.
ECW Champion
The first ever ECW against the last ever ECW champion (wwe version doesent count) Jimmy Superfly Snuka vs Tazz in the Hammerstein Ballroom, which could but wouldent have to be for the IC belt.
Similarily a long running feud including numerous Extreme rules matches between all the former ECW champions on the roster Tazz, Raven, Snuka and even Muraco. the fact that technically Snuka & muraco were only champions in Eastern Championship Wrestling could be used in promo's suggesting they arent Extreme.
Pacific Pride
A feud between Jimmy Superfly snuka and Yokozuna, with Snuka playing off the fact that Yokozuna shuns his Samoan heritage by carrying around the Japanese flag unlike himself a proud fijian. wouldn't neccesarily dilute the Yokozuna character instead be used down the line to flesh out the character i.e Japan is his adopted homeland were he attained the rank/honour of being a Yokozuna. Their contrasting styles would make for an Interesting match-up
Rundown
Argueably the biggest draw of all time (Hulk Hogan)and the biggest draw of right now (John Cena) both who are all American babyfaces but can play heels extremely well (Hollywood/Rapper). A Monster foreign heel in Yokozuna who has a comical mouthpiece in Mr Fuji. The man acredited with introducing the high-flyer style of wrestling to the WWF and the first ever ECW champion Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. The man Snuka had an infamous Cage match against the magnificant Don "The Rock" Muraco and his tag team parter Randy's daddy "Cowboy" Bob Orton. The Extreme legends last ever ECW champion Tazz and 20 time hardcore champion Raven. The First ever African-American heavyweight champion Ron "Farrooq" Simmons. A 3 time Womens champion who killed the womens division for 3 years Alundra Blayze/Madusa and the women who the WWE wanted to feud with her but never got the chance to put it into action AJA Kong.0 -
The MNG Show - Monday Night Grappling!
My Draft picks:
1. Bret 'The Hitman' Hart
2. 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper
3. Kane
4. CM Punk
5. The Rock 'N' Roll Express
6. The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers
7. Maria
8. Bad News Brown
9. 'Dr Death' Steve Williams
10. Paul Bearer
World Champion: Bret 'The Hitman' Hart
Intercontinental Champion: Rowdy Roddy Piper
World Tag Team Champions: The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers
Each week my show would kick off with the 'HotRod' Roddy Piper - also my Intercontinental Champion - interviewing a guest on his segment, Piper's Pit. I would use Piper as my all-round general mouthpiece to get over my various storylines and to initiate my feuds. I would place Piper into a feud with CM Punk and have Piper mock his 'Straight Edge' lifestyle. Both men are strong on the mic and could offer an entertaining feud.
Bret Hart would be the main babyface of my brand. He would main event every show and be positioned very strongly. I would have him be put into a feud with Kane (managed by Paul Bearer). I'd have Bearer antagonise Bret and warn him of how Kane would destroy him at the upcoming PPV. I would push Kane strongly and have him interrupt matches (mainly my tag matches) and beat down the R 'N' R Expess, intimidate my valet Maria, and generally leave fear in his wake. Bearer would mock Bret frequently and warn him that there is no way he could ever get The Big Red Machine to tap out.
My tag team feud would involve the heel tag champs The Rougeau Brothers mocking the Rock 'N' Roll Express and their rock music lifestyle. I feel they would be a great comedic duo and would have them play up their taste in cheesy music. The R 'N' R Express would meanwhile be focused on shutting them up by winning the gold.
Bad News Brown would be my tweener and I'd have him as the distant loner out for himself. I'd have him engage in a feud with Dr Death Steve Williams who'd be pissed with him for walking out on a tag match with Williams' old foes the R 'N' R Express a month previously causing them to lose. I'd play up Bad News as the anti-hero in this feud in the hope of getting him over with the audience.
Maria would be very much a part of my show. She would be my backstage interviewer and I'd have Piper crack jokes at her ditzy ways. Occasionally I'd involve her in feuds. She's a likeable personality who younger fans could get behind and who older fans would be attracted to.
Some possible TV match-ups in the weeks leading up to the PPV
Bret Hart and the R 'N' R Express vs Kane and The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers
Bret Hart vs 'Dr Death' Steve Williams
Kane vs Robert Gibson w/Ricky Morton
CM Punk vs Jacques Rougeau (Special ref: Roddy Piper)
CM Punk & Bad News Brown vs Roddy Piper & 'Dr Death' Steve Williams
Maria vs Paul Bearer (Special ref: Bret Hart)
Bret Hart, CM Punk vs Kane and Roddy Piper
Bad News Brown vs Ricky Morton vs Raymond Rougeau
Bret Hart, CM Punk & R 'N' R Express vs Kane, Piper & Rougeau Brothers
The PPV - Wrestlemania (Toronto, Canada)
Main Event: Bret Hart vs Kane (World Championship)
The legendary Hitman Bret Hart goes into his native country with his title in serious jeopardy. Can The Excellence of Execution overcome his most difficult challenge yet? Can he put a stop to the undefeated Kane? Or was Paul Bearer right - is it impossible to make the ruthless monster quit?
Rowdy Roddy Piper vs CM Punk (IC Championship) - NO DQ
The Rowdy One has made fun of the straight-edge superstar in recent times but the young upstart has vowed to make the veteran Piper respect him by Wrestlemania's end. Will the young challenger prevail or will Punk be made to pay the Piper?
'Dr Death' Steve Williams vs Bad News Brown (Last Man Standing)
Two of the toughest men in wrestling go head to head on the grandest stage of them all. 'Dr Death' has vowed to make Bad News pay for his selfish actions of late but he'll have to keep his opponent down for at least ten seconds to fulfil his promise. Will these two fearless competitors destroy one another?
The Rock 'N' Roll Express vs The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (World Tag Team Titles)
The ultimate clash of styles, The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers have derided the lifestyles of Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson in recent weeks but can the two young high-flying wrestlers make the men from Montreal eat their words and take home their belts?
Plus a special guest appearance from Maria!
Possible future feuds
Down the line I think a feud between Bret Hart and CM Punk would do very good business as Bret could elevate Punk and take him to some great matches. Piper can interchange between face and heel and still be a major draw. A feud with Dr Death Steve Williams or a return to a feud with Bad News or Bret could do very well. Kane has plenty of big guys he could work with in future like Williams and Bad News. There's also the option of him turning on Bearer and becoming a babyface. With regards to my tag teams, I feel the likes of Ricky Morton and Jacques Rougeau could be set into singles feuds and carry themselves well. Similarly the likes of a heel tag team involving Williams and Punk is another option. I feel there's plenty of mileage in this roster.
Summary:
Overall I think I've got a very nice balance to my roster. I have babyfaces that my younger demographic can get behind - Bret, CM Punk, Rock 'N' Roll Express. I also have more edgy heels and tweener figures that my older audience can be entertained by - Piper, Kane, Rougeau Brothers, Bad News. I also have the eye candy that a roster ought to possess in the lovely Maria.
To wrap up, if you want a show that can entertain you, excite you, make you laugh, get you pissed, and provide you with hard-hitting wrestling in and out of the the ring, you are well catered for with my roster!'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'

Ok, I might as well give mine a bash now. I was never the creative writer in school so mine will be a bit more factually based than MNG's!
The Roster
1. Dynamite Kid
2. Davey Boy Smith
3. Jerry Lawler
4. Tiger Mask
5. Billy Kidman
6. Ultimo Dragon
7. Terri Runnells
8. Bruiser Brody
9. Buddy Rogers
10. Nigel McGuiness
11. Jim Cornette
12. Vader
Here's an analysis of my roster:
Strength's
1. Drawing power- My roster has it. Not the post 1985 exclusive WWE kind maybe but top to bottom my roster is loaded with draws. Buddy Roger's was arguably the wrestling draw of the '50s.
Vader drew all over the world as did Bruiser Brody. Tiger Mask was an immense figure in Japanesse wrestling while few drew more consistently over a greater span of time than Jerry Lawler.
2. In the ring- My roster comprises of some of the greatest talent wrestling has ever seen. In the Dynamite Kid (a guy Bret Hart has called the best ever) and Tiger Mask I’ve got 2 of the greatest pure wrestlers ever.
In Vader and Brody, I’ve got 2 of the greatest brawlers ever. And in Jerry the King Lawler, I’ve got one of the greatest in ring story tellers.
Combine all that with very good/excellent workers at their peaks in Bulldog, Ultimo Dragon, Billy Kidman and Nigel McGuinness and you’ve got yourself a talented roster. Every wrestler at their peak on my roster can work. There is no weak link.
3. Talkers- When you have Jim Cornette (10 time best manager of the year winner according to the observer) and Jerry Lawler on your roster, you’re not short. And from what I saw of Buddy Rogers, he was pretty dam good on the mic aswell.
4. Hall of Famers- Of the 10 picks I made, 8 of them feature Wrestling Observer newsletter Hall of Fame Inductees which is seen as the legit wrestling Hall of Fame for wrestling.
Weaknesses
1. Needs more woman- If I had 2 more picks I would have loved to have booked a woman's match.
2. Obscure picks- Some of my picks mightn't be very well known to people who started watching wrestling in the '90s. Hopefully, people can get an idea about what the guys I picked are like from the videos and stats I put up.
My Card explained
The philosophy of this show is simple: to put on great, contrasting wrestling matches with the card essentially having 1 major “storyline angle” and that’s it. I won’t be going into too much detail. I just feel the card explains itself really.
Top to bottom each match has something different to offer, putting each guy in my roster in a match with someone that really accentuates their strengths. There is no weak match on my card and everyone on my roster has a spot.
Here it is, affectionately known as:The Card
Jerry "The King" Lawler w. Terri versus "Playboy" Buddy Rogers (champion) for the Heavy weight title
Lawler/Rogers analysis- This would be the 1 match where storyline would play a major role. Not that these 2 weren’t great in the ring but when you have Rogers and Lawler at their peaks on the mic, you got to use them.
The mixture of Lawler as the hero who won’t die with his innocent valet Elizabeth and Buddy Rogers the cocky playboy champion is guaranteed wrestling drama. A perfect main event where Lawler would go over.
2. Dynamite Kid versus Tiger Mask (champion) for the Junior Heavy weight title
Dynamite/Tiger Mask analysis- I'll just let them wrestle.
3. Bruiser Brody versus Big Van Vader w. Jim Cornette in a no DQ match
]Vader/Bruiser analysis- Again it writes itself. To of the greatest big man brawlers going head to head. Vader would go over here setting up a feud with Lawler.
4. Davey Boy Smith versus Nigel McGuinness
Analysis:I booked it because at their respective peaks it would have been a hell of a match. And the fact that their 2 of the most gifted wrestlers to come from England adds another dimension to it.
5. Billy Kidman (the WCW version) versus Ultimo Dragon (the WCW version)
Analysis: A perfect opening match with 2 cruiserweights that put on consistently good matches in WCW.
Finally, thanks to MNG for the idea and for generally keeping things ticking along.0 -
OK, Before i start:
1. Yes, I am shamelessly stealing Vince's layout (and it could probably have been the universal layout for the whole round in my opinion) except it wont be as much 'fact based' and instead, more opinion based.
2. Yes, this is half-hearted/half-assed. My computer decided to shut down as i was about 70%-80% done, and i hate that i have to re-write it all again .:mad:
Anyway..
The Roster
1. Ariel
2. Big Boss Man
3. Bull Buchanan
4. Daivari
5. Earthquake
6. Eric Bischoff
7. Honky Tonk Man
8. Melina
9. Mr. Perfect
10. Muhammad Hassan
11. Typhoon
12. Undertaker
Strength's
1. Drawing power: Whilst my roster does not have John Cena, Hulk Hogan or The Rock, it does have one of the most recognizable names in the history of Pro-wrestling, the Undertaker. Undertaker is obviously my main star and 'face' wrestler. My top heel draw would obviously be Muhammad Hassan and his manager/tag team partner Daivari. Muhammad probably hits number one in the "best heel of the last decade" category in wrestling, garnering media attention all across the US, and i feel that people would come to shows/tune in as he is the person they would absolutely hate. The rest of my roster is filled with some recognizable talent that wrestling fans would likely watch (Boss Man, Mr. Perfect, etc.) but, I'll admit, aside from Muhammad Hassan, the average Joe probably won't recognise many of the names on my roster.
2. In the ring: I feel my roster does very well in this area. Undertaker is a guy who is obviously very skilled in the ring and whose style has switched from 'Big Man' to 'Technical' over the course of his career. Mr. Perfect is another amazingly gifted technical grappler. I feel both Big Boss Man and Buchanan were very underrated in what they were capable of doing once in the ring. I feel Boss Man in particular was an excellent brawler, and had fantastic matches with many different styles of wrestler (from Al Snow to Big Show to Kane and Ken Shamrock). Both Earthquake and Typhoon are very agile for their size, and would obviously cater to the fans of big man wrestling. Daivari is an excellent cruiserweight, but I don't really think that his abilities would be displayed much on my roster, which lacks another cruiserweight for Daivari to battle (Although I'm sure Perfect could give him a good show). Both of my women are more than capable of putting on a good match.
3. Talkers: Eric Bischoff is obviously my main voice box. He would be my major non-wrestling star. Along side him I'd give Boss Man and Honky Tonk Man a lot of mic time, as they are both very comfortable on the mic in my view. Honky is a fantastic entertainer and would be great to watch, im sure (as he has been in the past). Melina has proved excellent on the mic, but i don't know if the same can be said for Ariel (because we never really seen her use it).
Weaknesses
1. Lack of smaller/cruiserweight wrestlers: Obviously my roster doesn't really have many Rey Mysterio or Paul London types on it. I reckon i could get by with what i have, but having some smaller grapplers would do no harm.
2. Longevity: How many times can you watch the Undertaker die and come back? OK, In fairness, I wouldn't book him like that, but i think my roster has the potential to only offer a limited amount of viewing before it would seem like a re-run. You could probably get about two years of long, thought-out, programming, but after that, it would likely need a heavy shake-up.
The Card:
WWE Championship
The Undertaker VS Mr Perfect
Main event is pretty self-explanatory. Both are excellent wrestlers, worthy of their main event status, and together could have a fantastic match i believe.
Big Boss Man VS Muhammad Hassan
Big Boss Man has always been an awesome wrestler as far as I'm concerned, and Muhammad Hassan, for the short time he wrestled, did a damn good job, too. This would be a build up of the Anti-American and the Proud American clashing in a 'heated' match. Daivari would star at ringside, which could lead to the also pro-american Bull Buchanan making a second appearance to stir things up.
Women's Championship
Melina VS Ariel
Women's championship is straight forward (and painfully obvious from the minute i chose Ariel). Two great "divas" that can actually rassle (and look good whilst doing it) fighting it out for the belt.
Bull Buchanan VS Honky Tonk Man
Buchanan VS Honky would be interesting to me. I've always thought Buchanan was a solid wrestler, but was never really all that great on the "entertaining" side of things, whereas Honky has it pretty much well covered. I know it probably wouldn't be the most amazing match of all time, but it'd be interesting, if mixed up with some comedy patches by Honky (which would obviously upset the no-nonsense Buchanan).
"Battle Of The Giants"
Earthquake VS Typhoon
Earthquake VS Typhoon is my novelty act really. It'd never be a great match, but its a match people would be curious to see, even though they wouldn't admit it. Just like Big Show VS Akebono, it'd generate interest, but probably wouldn't do the show any real favours. The back story would be the usual tag-team-splits-up angle. They could then go on to mingle in the lower to mid card, or go on to be a serious threat to the undertaker (as every big man has at some point).
Eric Bischoff would be used for segments during the show, and to screw the finish on the main event, to give the feud a little more life and drag on a little longer than it would already have.
Well.. thats pretty much all i have to offer. I'm after sitting her much longer than expected, too
ah well.
As Vince said: Cheers for the game MNG (I know its not over, but this is essentially the last round, so...) 0 -
Roster
1.Shawn Michaels. He will be my heavyweight champion. He’ll be his usual cocky self not caring what he says or does or who it upsets.
2.Kevin Nash. He’ll be Shawn Michaels bodyguard who will do most of Shawn’s dirty work and help out in a few matches to ensure the belt stays with Shawn. He will also tag with Shawn at various times.
3.Road Dogg. He will be one half of the tag team champions, The New Age Outlaws. He’ll be the main voice of the champs who has the ability to excite the crowd with his promos. I also see him as a host of his own segment called the Dogg Pound where he will interview various stars (potential to create new feuds)
4.Billy Gunn. He is the other half of the tag team champs. The New Age Outlaws will be full of attitude and along with Michaels will say and do what they like, no matter how extreme.
5.Lex Luger. He’ll be by main challenger for the Heavyweight title. His character will show good morals who will be against any foul language and foul behaviour.
6.Pedro Morales. He’ll be another straight laced wrestler who is more interested in settling things in the ring instead of on the mic. His latin temper will also see him lose his temper on various occasions.
7.Rikishi. He’ll be a laid back character who will team up with Scotty 2 Hotty as well as trying to carve out a singles career.
8.Scotty 2 Hotty. He’ll mainly be used as a tag team with Rikishi who will also offer some light relief with his dance promos with Rikishi
9.John Morrison. He’ll be my Intercontinental Champion and will have Debra as his valet. They will use the gimmick of being the sexiest people on the roster and everybody else should be jealous of their bodies
10.King Kong Bundy. He’ll be my monster heel who will use his size and strength to wreak havoc against any wrestler that he comes across.
11.The Godfather. He’ll be my initial challenger for the Intercontinental championship. He’ll use his extremely popular Pimp gimmick along with his Ho stable.
12.Debra. She will be John Morrisons valet who will use her body as a distraction whenever Morrison is in trouble

Welcome to Boards Mania IX
World Heavyweight Championship Match
Shawn Michaels (Champion) (w/Kevin Nash) vs The All-American Lex Luger in a steel cage match.
Build up
This follows on from a match at the last PPV (The Great Boards Shindig) where Luger was kicked in the head by Kevin Nash behind the refs back to hand the victory to Michaels. In the following weeks after this match, Luger insisted that the public were not interested in Michaels foul language and tactics and he was here to bring back some respectability to the premier title in the wrestling industry. In a recent tag team match between Michaels & Nash vs Luger & Pedro Morales, Michaels and Nash inflicted further anguish on Luger by beating him to a pulp after Luger had sneaked a roll-up victory over Michaels. Morales had been unable to back up Luger after he was assaulted by the returning King Kong Bundy and they had continued their fight backstage. In another match luger faced Nash one on one and after he knocked Nash out cold with his bionic elbow and ready to pin him, Michaels came into the ring to knock Luger out with the title belt. A disqualification victory was no consolation for being laid out on the mat with a bloody face. Luger finally challenged Michaels to a steel cage match to ensure no outside interference by Nash and so he could repay Michaels for all the anguish he has endured over the last couple of months. Can Luger survive this gruelling test to fulfil his lifetime ambition by becoming World Heavyweight Champion or will Michaels continue his reign filled with attitude and disrespect?
Intercontinental Championship Match
John Morrison (Champion) (w/Debra) vs The Godfather (w/Ho’s)
Build up
This feud started only five weeks ago when, in a non title match between the two, Debra stepped on to the apron to give The Godfather a good view of her puppies. This was ample distraction for Morrison to grab the victory. The following week The Godfather came out to the ring with his customary Ho Train, grabbed the mic and insisted that Debra would make a fine addition to his Ho stable. Morrison came out with Debra and was very angry at the comments made by The Godfather. This continued the following week as during a non title match between Morrison and Morales, The Godfather came out to ringside to proposition Debra. This provided Morales with enough distraction to pick up the pin and leave Morrison angry. Then just two weeks ago the match was made that The Godfather would challenge Morrison for the Intercontinental match. The Godfather wanted to add more spice to the match so he proposed a further stipulation that if he won then Debra would have to join the Ho train as Queen Ho. Morrison quickly accepted much to the dismay of Debra. Is there trouble in the Morrison camp? Will The Godfather get a new addition to his Ho stable and become new Intercontinental champion?
No Disqualification Match
Pedro Morales vs King Kong Bundy
Build up
The tension between these two goes back five months when Pedro Morales was World Heavyweight Champion. In a title match between Pedro Morales and Shawn Michaels, King Kong Bundy, feeling that it should have been him getting the title shot, interfered and resulted in Michaels scoring the pin and winning the belt. This infuriated Morales and just two weeks later he had Bundy in his signature Boston Crab and would not let go. This incapacitated Bundy and Morales continued his assault with steel chairs to the knee of Bundy. Bundy would then go on to miss three months of action until he returned to interfere in a tag match between Morales & Luger vs Michaels & Nash. This reignited the bad blood between the two and for the following few weeks resulted in Bundy assaulting Morales behind his back and inflicting more damage to the former world heavyweight champion. It seemed as if Bundy was more happy to continue with these sneak attacks than face Morales in the ring. Eventually the two faced each other in the ring but resulted in Bundy getting himself counted out. However this match did not settle anything. Finally Morales has got his chance with a No disqualification match against King Kong Bundy. Will the score be settled once and for all?
Tag Team Championship Match
The New Age Outlaws (champions) vs Rikishi & Scotty 2 Hotty
Build up
The New Age Outlaws have been tag team champions for almost a year. Two months ago that streak almost came to an end when Scotty and his partner at the time were threatening to take the belts with some high flying wrestling. Seeing this threat, the New Age Outlaws ambushed Scotty and his partner and inflicted a terrible injury on Scotty’s partner. The following week Road Dogg and Billy Gunn ambushed Scotty and would have inflicted the same sort of injury but for the timely appearance of Rikishi coming to the rescue and that was the beginning of a beautiful and entertaining friendship. No matter how much the Outlaws tried to get their hands on Scotty, Rikishi was there to prevent it. There followed some entertaining promos with Scotty teaching Rikishi to dance and the Outlaws interrupting their dancing with some witty & spiteful comments. The Outlaws also targetted Scotty in their matches against the new team, often picking up victories by distracting Rikishi and pinning Scotty. Finally Rikishi and Scotty picked up the win they needed to challenge for the belts when Scotty pinned Road Dogg after Rikishi stink faced both Road Dogg and Billy Gunn and Scotty gave Road Dogg the dreaded W-O-R-M to grab the pin. Can Rikishi & Scotty pull off a second victory over the tag champs and finally end one of the longest title reigns in history?
Boards Hall of Fame Induction
Spongey is prowd to induct MNG into the Boards Hall of Fame for his tireless work in the set up and maintaining of this thoroughly enjoyable game. Congratulations.
Results of PPV (Please note spoilers contained within)
Michaels retains the belt by escaping the cage. Luger was close to winning but had the door slammed shut in his face by Kevin Nash
The Godfather pinned Morrison after Debra accidentally hit him with the IC belt. Debra was now to become Queen Ho. This will bring up some hilarious promos involving The Godfather trying to show Debra the ropes.
King Kong Bundy pins Pedro Morales after several chair shots. Earlier in the match Pedro forced Bundy to tap out with the Boston Crab but the ref was incapacitated.
Rikishi & Scotty 2 Hotty beat the New Age Outlaws by disqualification after Billy Gunn hit Rikishi with a steel chair as he was about to stink face Road Dogg
Future Feuds
After this PPV, the above feuds will continue but in the future I can see the following feuds develop
-Michaels to feud with Nash after Nash costs Michaels the belt to Luger. This will turn Nash face with the possibility to feud with Bundy & Morrison
-Luger to feud with Bundy for the title
-Luger to feud with Morrison over who has the best body
-Morales to feud with Michaels, Morrison, The Godfather over their attitude and their life choices.
-Michaels to team with Morrison after his split from Nash to feud with the Outlaws and Rikishi & Scotty
-Billy Gunn & Road Dogg to split and feud with each other. This opens up opportunities for both wrestlers to feud with The Godfather, Morrison, Scotty in the IC title mix.
-Rikishi to feud with Bundy over who’s the strongest and biggest of the roster
-Debra will be able to link up with the likes of Michaels, Luger as heel, The Outlaws
-Overall i can see title pushes for Michaels, Nash, Luger, Morales, Rikishi & Morrison
Summary
Ok I think somehow I’ve written too much and hope ye did not get bored reading this. Overall the roster has great ability when it comes to the mic and this will keep the crowds thoroughly entertained with their humorous promos. There is also great wrestling ability which should provide some great matches. On the downside I could probably use a manager and another female wrestler to be able to utilise Debra better. I also believe I don’t have too many combinations of tag teams out there.
OK guys feel free to rip this card to shreds.0 -
My roster:
Kerry Von Erich
Terry Funk
Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson
Mike Rotunda (IRS) & Barry Windham
Jushin Liger
Bryan Danielson
Junkyard Dog
Sable
Stan Hansen
Dick Murdoch
• There were three criteria that I used when picking my roster:
1 - Who is the biggest star left
2 - Who do I like the most out of who's available
3 - Will they fit in with my roster (just used for the last few picks)
I don't think that I could have satisfied that criteria any better. The big thing that's clear at first glance is that the majority of my roster are mainly 80s stars. A lot of them also didn't reach the top of the WWF, which is probably why I was able to get them, as others may have overlooked them. There are also no real "cartoon" gimmicks on my roster (I don't plan on using Rotunda as IRS, at least not initially)
Just because they didn't reach the peak of the WWF doesn't mean that they weren't top wrestlers though. I've got numerous NWA, AWA and WCCW world champions on my roster. I've got guys who reached the top of the business in Japan (Funk, Hansen and Liger). I've got the man who is widely regarded as the best indy wrestler currently, as well as being considered by many to be the best wrestler in the world, full stop
Another key element to my roster is the amount of quality promo-cutters. The art of promos has deteriorated so much in wrestling today, but not on my roster. There are very few who are better than Funk at his best. Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard, along with Barry Windham, all did excellent promos as part of the Four Horsemen. Stan Hansen was really great as I pointed out in a Youtube video. Junkyard Dog and Kerry Von Erich could both cut the sort of babyface promo that's missing today. Bryan Danielson can turn a crowd who are giving him a standing ovation into a crowd who are booing him after a short time on the mic
One other interesting, although not really relevant, piece of information is that there are five second-generation wrestlers on my roster
Heels:
Terry Funk
Arn Anderson
Tully Blanchard
Sable
Bryan Danielson
Stan Hansen
Faces:
Kerry Von Erich
Mike Rotunda
Junkyard Dog
Jushin Liger
Barry Windham
Dick Murdoch
Card:
World Title Match: Terry Funk (c) vs Kerry Von Erich
Tag Team Title Match: Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard (c) w/ Sable vs Mike Rotunda & Junkyard Dog w/ Dick Murdoch
Bryan Danielson vs Jushin Liger
Barry Windham vs Stan Hansen
• Terry Funk would be the long-running heel champion in the buildup to this event. It would be the 80s Terry Funk, the toughest brawler around who's also the best promo man on my roster. He would be defending his title against the most popular face on the roster, the young Kerry Von Erich
Funk would be the dominant champion in the months before this match. He was never the type of guy who would duck a fight, but he would sometimes bend the rules to get an advantage. Kerry is the wholesome babyface, which complements Funk. Two complete opposites in looks, styles, attitudes and fan support
The questions that would be asked in the lead-up to this world title match would be whether Kerry can survive in Funk's world, if he can prevent Funk from stretching the rules to beat him, if Kerry is too nice for his own good, and if Funk can truly withstand what Kerry has to offer. I can just imagine the sort of promos that Terry would cut before this match
• Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard would be the tag champs coming into this event. They would have Sable as their valet, much in the same way that Blanchard had Baby Doll as his valet for some memorable feuds. I've always liked the idea of the heel tag team with the female valet
Mike Rotunda and Junkyard Dog wouldn't be a full-on tag team, but they would be portrayed as good friends who will give it their all to win the tag titles. Dick Murdoch would also be a good friend of theirs who would lend his support at ringside for them, knowing how Sable can sometimes have some influence on the outcome of matches
While Arn and Tully are an accomplished tag team, Rotunda and JYD is a new pairing. Rotunda is a better tag team wrestler I feel, and JYD is an amazing face as well as a great tag team wrestler, so they would fit well together
• Bryan Danielson vs Jushin Liger is the only match on my card which has actually taken place as a big match (I'm sure Funk and Kerry wrestled, but it wasn't for a title). However, when they wrestled it was a past-his-prime Liger against a before-his-prime Danielson. To witness the two of them wrestle at their peaks would be something else and it would be the match that would intrigue and interest me the most, as well as most current fans I would imagine, seeing as they're the two youngest guys on my roster
The thing with these guys is that you could have them go out and wrestle 20 times and you would get 20 very different matches, all of them good. I mentioned in my Liger pick about how he's had to evolve and adapt his style due to age and injuries, yet he's still as good as ever, but in a different way. Danielson is constantly learning new things and he usually has widely varying types of matches anyway. He, more than any other wrestler I know of, also plays off of previous encounters with opponents in his matches a lot. That's why I could always rely on these two guys to deliver for me, although I do have other plans for them as well
• Barry Windham vs Stan Hansen would be seen as both a number one contenders match and a grudge match. Windham is the younger man looking to make his mark and Hansen is the veteran who wants to prove that he still rules the yard
They're both Texas born and bred and I can picture the sort of promos that Hansen would cut, saying that Barry is a disgrace to the state and that he's embarrassed to be from the same place as him, along with all of Barry's fans
This would be a great match I think, Hansen had awesome matches in Japan with guys who were sort of similar to Windham
Results:
I would have Kerry Von Erich win the World title from Terry Funk after a long and tough match
Arn and Tully would retain their titles, leading to Dick Murdoch questioning the ability of his friends. This would lead into a somewhat friendly feud between Murdoch and Junkyard Dog (former tag team partners). I mentioned during my Murdoch pick that I found him at his most interesting when he was a face with heelish tendencies. This is what I'm aiming for here. In the end he would turn full blown heel
The result of Danielson and Liger wouldn't matter so much here, but I would have Liger win and Danielson shake hands with him afterwards, leading to the two of them teaming up to become the next challengers for the tag titles
Finally, Windham would beat Hansen, setting up Windham turning heel on Kerry Von Erich now that he has got his title match
Funk would take out his frustration on Hansen, only to find out that Hansen can take a beating and give one back just as good. That would lead to a No DQ match between the two of them in the future
• The reason that I decided to use tag titles and no secondary singles title is that there are many natural fits for tag teams on my roster. Two real-life examples are Windham & Rotunda and JYD & Murdoch. Other potential teams for the future would be Von Erich & Windham, Funk & Hansen, JYD & Von Erich and Liger & Hansen. And of course there's also the Windham/Anderson/Blanchard Four Horsemen connection
So with all these strong tag teams I don't really see the need to have another singles title. I would rather make the tag titles really mean something and put all the focus on them and the world title0 -

First Match
Bitch-Fight
Trish Stratus (C) (Heel) vs Molly Holly (Face) For the Womens Championship with the Miz as the Special Guest Referee.
Two of the best women wrestlers ever to wrestle in the WWE . Trish as the Heel with Molly Holly acting the Face . I have always personally considered Trish Stratus a great Heel Manger/Wrestler. I would also have her pull double duty as mangers of the Nasty Boys . Trish to retain with a long feud easily achievable as wrestlers or have them mange single stars.
World War 3 !
Sergeant Slaughter vs The Iron Sheik vs Nikolai Volkoff
This match writes it self. From Volkoff Singing the Russian National Anthem , to the promo's Slaughter will hit. perhaps even have him go to a school and make a cobra camp for a day , to train the next generation of solider. To the Sheik proclaiming Iran's (Persia's greatness ! )
Sergearnt to win as a Face after being teamed on by Sheik and Volkoff. With the two of them turning on each other before losing .
Who's going to break !
Dudley Boyz(C) (Molly Holly) vs The Nasty Boys in a Tables Match !
For the World Wrestling Tag Team Championship
This is almost a Heel vs Heel Match , However i would have the Dudley Boyz as the Heels, and The Nasty Boys as Faces. Any feud containing the two teams could have them interchanging Roles. The Nasty Boys to win after Molly holly interferes and accidentally gets knocked threw a table by Bubba Ray.
Beauty and the Beast !
Y2J (C) (Heel) With Trish Stratus vs The Animal Batista ! (Face) for the World Wrestling Championship.
The Cocky Arrogant champion vs The Batista Unleashed ! . Batista has run riot my company dispatching all other contenders for the Belt . Y2J has tried everything to prevent a title match with Y2J getting Trish Stratus to make advances towards Batista , to try and slowdown the Animal .
However he not be will distracted ! . During the match i would have Trish distract the referee , with Y2J hitting Batista in the face with the WWE title ! Y2J eventually goes for the pin , he's still Reeling after being hit by a spinebuster before he took out Batista ! . The Referee Counts the Fall but its only a 2 Count ! . The match continues with animal busted open. Trish tries to interfere but Batista Pushes her off the apron . He hits the batista Bomb ! 1-2-3 . We have a New World Champion .
Strength's
Drawing Power- I have numerous wreslters that can all hold the belt and feud with one another Slaughter/Sheik/Batista/ Y2J
Tag Team Division - I have 3 recognised tag teams in my brand. The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff could have excellent feuds with Both the nasty boys and the dudleyz .
Womens Division- I have made both my women do double duty and this would be a common occurence for future PPV's . Both would manage and wreslte the majority of the time.
The Miz can Mid -Card with every one of my wrestlers on this roster.
Weakness
Lack of Light Heavy Weight Division- Its non exsistent with a demand for it out there thats not good.
Leaderless - I have no GM/Owner of my brand to have as a focal point for Rage from the Fans . ( Seargarnt Slaughter could fill this role, that would take him out of his prime as a wrestler so i wouldnt do that)
P.S I would just like to Thank MNG for putting on this fabulous Event for the last few months. If there was ever a Thread of the year on boards, this should be it ! 0 -

PPV Matches:
Three-way, No DQ: Cruiserweight title match
Jerry Lynn (c) vs. Juventud Guerrera vs. Joey Mercury w/ Christy Hemme
Build-up
Jerry Lynn puts his Cruiserweight title on the line when he faces Juventud Guerrera and Joey Mercury. These three competitors know each other oh too well having all been involved in some memorable matches over the past few years. But now these three men compete in a three-way, no DQ match for the Cruiserweight title, for the first time ever. Can Jerry Lynn come out of this match with the Cruiserweight title intact or will we see a new champion of Guerrera or Mercury?
Tag team championship match:
Demolition (c) vs. The Fabulous Freebirds
Build-up
Tag team champions Demolition take on the team of Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy better known as The Fabulous Freebirds in a match for the tag team titles. After months of speculation this match finally gets the go ahead. It all started when an altercation broke out backstage between Hayes of the Fabulous Freebirds and Smash of Demolition. The two teams have fought in single matches as well as non-title matches but at the upcoming PPV, Demolition with put their tag titles on the line for the first time against Hayes and Gordy. Who will leave the match at the World Tag Team champions, tune in to find out.
Superstar Billy Graham vs. Jesse ’The Body’ Ventura
Build-up:
It is a known fact that Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura modelled his wrestling persona on Superstar Billy Graham. Now it’s a case of original vs. copy as Graham and Ventura face off in a match to determine who really is the most flamboyant wrestler. Who will have to sacrifice the lifeblood of being an in-ring superstar - their image. The careers of these competitors are on the line, but who will be victorious?
World title match:
Ric Flair (c) vs. Dusty Rhodes
Build-up:
Dusty Rhodes challenged Champion, Ric Flair, to this match after Dusty turned his back on his former friend & tag partner just three months ago after Flair had won the World title. Flair and Rhodes had been the top team in the business, having won tag team champions three times and holding onto them for eight months in their last reign, only for Dusty to cut all ties with Flair as he believed he was holding him back in his career. The two legends of wrestling battle it out in a match for the World title at the upcoming PPV, which is sure to keep you on the edge of your seats.
Backstage:
As well as being Joey Mercury’s valet and competing in few wrestling matches, Christy Hemme conducts interviews backstage. Expect to see Christy interviewing most of the competitors before they enter the ring in what should be a night of great match-ups.
Strengths:
-Big draw for the likes of Flair & Rhodes
-Good number of cruiserweights on the roster
-Promos- Flair, Rhodes, Graham and Ventura all of which have been known to cut great promos
-Good enough mixture of faces and heels
Weaknesses
-Lack of females on the roster. If I had more picks I would have certainly added another female to build a women’s division.
Summary
A roster that has a mixture of big names and cruiserweights, big talkers, big teams and spectacular matches. It mixes some of the greats of yesteryear and well known names around today. Never before has a PPV brought these superstars together under the same roof. Much in on stake, from titles to gimmicks, from pride to respect. All in all it is sure to be an entertaining show.
