ATH Knockout Final: Thebostoncrab vs Waltersobchek

Bounty Hunter

Simplified version of the rules:

I will post a topic and you have to post your response including why you made that choice within a given time limit (before the next match is scheduled to begin), take care while making your responses however as the other contestant can counter your arguement i.e pointing out possible flaws in what youve said.

*you can only counter an arguement two times so make sure your point is worth making. If someone's defense of their arguement isnt good it will count against them.

*You can use the same answer as your opponent if you wish i.e you agree with their choice however its hard to win a debate when your making the same points someone has already made

see the OP of the main thread for further details, the 1st match's thread or if any are needed or check out last years competition.

Odds are by the time you have answered this we will have seen the reality and potentially been dissapointed by it so please lads dont dissapoint with your answers afterall im giving you a better chance than the WWE have themselves...

Q. You are Vince McMahon but your actually more powerful than Vinne Mac infact to paraphrase JBL you are a Wrestling Gawwd. You have the power to book whatever you want without having to worry about the repucussions, you want to drop several F bombs on TV go ahead, you want Punk to sign a 20year deal go ahead, you want to buy and book all the ROH/Indie talent go ahead... you might be able to guess where im going with this now.

Fantasy booking and the current CM Punk angle: starting from MITB onwards if you could book it however you wish, what would you do? and why would your plan be better than your opponents?

good luck lads, and my the best boardsie win!

MITB comes and CM Punk finds himself on top. He has beaten John Cena. The crowd are on their feet as they cannot believe it has happened. Cue Vince McMahons music as he comes out with MITB winners Alberto Del Rio and Cody Rhodes.

"Damnit I can't allow this to happen! This is my company and I have worked too hard for you to just walk out with my work! If Bret Hart couldn't do it then neither can you! These two men are cashing in their MITB contracts right now!" At that point Rhodes and Del Rio run straight to the ring with a ref and the bell rings. Both men begin laying straght into Punk and tearing him apart. Nothing preaty, just a beating. Rhodes goes for the pin but Del Rio pulls him off, saying that it is his destiny to win. Rhodes pushes him and goes for the pin again, but Del Rio pulls him off and lays Rhodes out. As they two men fight between themselves it gives Punk time to recover. After Rhodes knocks Del Rio out for the count, Punk gives him the GTS for the pin fall and can leave the company with the belt.

Punk stands in the ring, holding the belt high as Vince walks in on his hands and knees pleading with Punk to stay. He says he will give Punk anything he wants. He spots Colt Cabana in the crowd and says he will hire him on the spot for Punk. Punk looks at Colt and they share a moment, but Punk just walks straight out, without saying a word.

Raw opens with Vince going over the result of the PPV. He has that he is not done with this matter. He says that he will not only get his belt back, but he will make sure CM Punk never gets a job wrestling again. At this point World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton comes out with a mic. He says that he worked hard to win this belt back, and Vince seems to be forgetting about it. This belt has a rich history and the man who holds it means just as much as the WWE Champion, if not more. But Vince can't see past that because it wasn't something he created. Just like how CM Punk never got the chance he deserved because it wasn't something he created. Just like how Zack Ryder doesn't get TV time because it wasn't something he created. Hell even like how he won't release a War Games DVD simply because is wasn't something he created. Orton says that Vince should learn from this and use what is there in front of him, instead of worrying about what he has lost.

Vince tells Orton that he doesn't know what he is talking about and that he knows what is right for business, and when he makes something it instantly becomes the right thing for business. He said that's why he ensured that Orton got onto Smackdown because the brand needed someone like him. Therefore as of right now I am demanding that you perform double duty and defend that belt like a man on both brands until his whole problem is sorted out. Randy looks annoyed at first but says "Hey, if it means a bigger pay check thats fine with me." Vince says that Orton won't recieve a penny extra for it, since he should be offering to do it as a gesture of how much he loves this company. Orton says he cannot do that and simply walks backstage and leaves Vince fuuming.

Backstage, John Cena SNR calls into Vince to talk about John contract. Vince says that he is not entertaining the idea of signing Cena again. He has caused huge embarresment to Vince and his company and he will not stand for it. John SNR says that his son knows that he knows that he has let you down, but he won't rest until the WWE Title is back here on Monday Night Raw. At the end of Raw Vince says that he is going to reverse the decision from last night and declare the belt vacent. Therefore a one night tornument will take place at Summerslam to crown a new WWE Champion. Suddenly CM Punk appears on the titantron in an office somewhere in NY with Cary Silken from Ring of Honor and says that nothing Vince says or does with reverse what the fans saw last night. Just like they will never forget the birth of the NWO or when Brock Lesnar tore the WWE roster apart, just because Vince leaves it alone doesn't mean the fans will forget. Therefore he can claim that last night didn't happen, but the PPV buys and media attention says different. Fans will look at any new belt that Vince brings and say "Oh yeah, that was because CM Punk did this awesome angle and left as the champion. God that was amazing, CM Punk was a brilliant wrestler." Punk tells Vince that he will be defending the WWE Title against ROH World Champion Davey Richards. And when he beats Davey for the belt he will unifie both belts and hold them as the Ring of Honor World Championship, killing the legacy that Vince created stone dead. The feed ends with Punk signing an ROH contract on top of the WWE Title and telling the fans that he will see them on iPPV in two weeks. Vince is livid in the ring as the show ends.

So where do we go from here? Vince is seen broken down in Titan Towers the following week calling a meeting with Cary Silken and CM Punk to try buy out CM Punks contract, but Jim Cornette is along side them also. Throught out the night we keep going back to the negotiations, where both sides go back and forth. Jim says that ROH will only allow Punk back with monthly funding for the company from Vince. They point out the many wrestlers who have joined the roster that made their name in ROH and that they are providing Vince with the future without Vince returning anything to them. Vince says he will do this and goes to sign a contract only for Punk to pull it back. He says that the final contract deal will only happen on ROHs iPPV next Sunday, not on WWE tv.

When the iPPV rolls around and before the main event CM Punk delivers an amazing promo on all his hard times in the WWE and that he was proud to be in a wrestling ring again. He says that Vince McMahon is backstage and he has in his hands the new contract. Vince makes his way out and is taken back by how hostile the crowd are. He says that he wants to get this over and done with. He goes to sign the contract, but Punk says that Vince has to wait until after tonights main event, because he wants him to watch and see what could have been. Punk and Davey have an amazing match up that comes to an aburt end when, as Punk goes to deliver the Pepsi Plunge, John Cena jumps the rails and attacks Punk, ending the match in a DQ. Cena is chased off by the ROH roster for ruining the main event and Vince has a mic. He invites Punk to Raw this monday and they will finish their contract negotions there since it is too hostile here in ROH, and he will give him anything he wants.

On Raw Punk turns up and says that he has been thinking long and hard about what Vince could offer him that noone else can. He says that he will sign a new contract on three new terms added to those he listed a few weeks ago:

1) That Colt Cabana is given a new contract and treated well and given the push he deserves.
2) That John Cena is brought back tonight so he can explain why he ruined Punks night.
3) That Vince gives him the one thing that he has wanted that noone else can give him. To allow him to have the only match in this world that can top Cena-Rock at Wrestlemaina. He wants Stone Cold Steve Austin 1-on-1.

Cenas music hits and John Cena comes out and says that he knew that if he interfered last night then the title would not change hands, therefore keeping it alive. Therefore it ensures that Vince had longer to get the belt back to the WWE. He felt that since he did that it has allowed this whole thing to come to an end and deserves to come back to the WWE. Vince comes out and jumps straight to it and gives Punk his demands and Punk agrees. Vince also says that John is right, and he will allow him to join the roster, but he has to start from the bottom again.

That is the core of my plan and I will go into it more if it is needed:)
