ive been thinking theres a lot of 'dark' gimmicks in WWE that seem to use 'mind games' so i was tihnking why not form a dungeon of doom/ minitry of darkness style faction
it would feature:
Kevin Thorne (vampire gimmick)
Elijah Burke (leader and also vampire)
Kizarny
The Boogeyman
Katie Lea (gothic style gimmick)
Paul 'The Ripper' Birchall (Jack The ripper gimmick)
also as a strength advantage and enforcer
Vladimir Kozlov
They would feus with Undertaker on SD! leading to a ppv match of Burke vs Taker . then form an alliance with Kozlov to help him win the WWE title. They will also have min-feuds with any SD/ECW face who seemed to be happy with themselves eg Jesse and Festus, Kung Fu Naki, Matt Hardy (Burke's ECW title chase), R-Truth (Kizarny US title chase), and then move to Raw and feud with kane (face) aswell as HBk wetc. Then turn face and feud with Priceless in a DX/Nation style feud

I'm not feeling it, man, I think it sounds good on paper but could never happen in WWE. Not enough star power to lead them. If you look at the major stables of the last few years, (Leader fighting for main titles, main feud in the company,) as in DX, Corperation, Ministry etc they've always had HBK, HHH, Undertaker, Vince & others to carry it for them. Even The Nation was led by a former WCW champion and someone they were pushing pretty heavily at the start, even spawning the rock to an extent. These wrestlers fit in gimmicks but not much else. Elijah is a great wrestler, as is Burchill and I hear Synn is decent, too, but to have them all together seems like it would never get that far. Plus, "dark" factions in wrestling have been done a lot before, and a hell of a lot better than this would probably be.

Here's how I would see a faction like that:
James Mitchell: leader and faction manager
Kizarny
Ricky Banderas (in his Judas Mesias character, only with his real name)
Kevin Thorn
Boogeyman
Redrum (Johnny "Rellik" Stamboli reprising his character, with his cool indy name rather than his lame TNA name)

They could bring back Kevin Sullivan to be the leader of the faction.

I think it would work with Jim Mitchell definitely, but more a tag team rather than a stable. Kizarny and Rellik or something, creating a clustersnork of wrestlers demonishes any credibility if there isnt a stand along leader who the others would work for, and I can't see anyone in WWE now who could do that apart from Undertaker, and he's already been there.
Thinking back, though, the old ministry was only 'Taker and a few lackys who didnt have ANY star power apart from a previous KOTR winner in one of the most ridiculous occurances in wrestling and said former WCW champion who had fallen down to just basically being in a tag team as the acolytes of the undertaker, and they managed to spin off numerous tag champs and future world champions, so I guess it could actually happen given the right tools and storylines

They could have Edge lead a stable of "damned"* wrestlers entertainers that he encountered on his way out of hell. *under some definitions, "damned" means excluded, exempt. So I'm thinking guys like Kevin Thorn and Elijah Burke who haven't been seen in yonks. |

The Boogeyman? The goofy, comic relief character who chases midgets, eats worms and giant moles, destroy clocks, and sings Harry Chapin songs? I guess they could try to make him a serious dark character, but I don't know how well that would go over.

I'm all for Kevin Thorn going goth again and I'd back anything that would get Burke back on TV. I still have a hard time accepting Boogeyman as anything other than a goofy, comedy character though. |
