Protege / mentor feud with Zbyszko as the mentor?

[horsemen4ever]

Would it have been poetic great if they ever did an old fashion, ungreateful and jealous protege turns on mentor feud with the most famous ungrateful protege Larry Zbyszko as the mentor.

In WCW after Zbyszko retired from full time wrestling to become a commentator. Zbyszko slowly turns face, and takes someone under his wing, than a few months later that person turns on him, that would have been great.

Shane Douglas would have been perfect for that role being from Pittsburgh.

I would have loved to see that happen, Still is possible, too.

Could have happened with Douglas in the early 90's, maybe if he didn't leave WCW after being Steamboat's partner.

Even better scenero, is doing the heat of the WCW / NWO wars, replace Dusty Rhodes with a young wrestler who turns on Larry during his match with Hall at Souled Out. A WCW face keeps getting ganged up by the NWO, Zbyszko one day makes the save from a NWO attack, starts to take him under his wing, they team up a few times against the NWO, than one day this person turns on Zbyszko and joins the NWO.

You are right it could still happen, it would be great way to bring things full circle.

I always thought the scenario could have played out with Paul Orndorff and Shane Douglas. I wanted them to team in 93, and have the ungrateful protege turn.

With Zybszko I'm not sure who would have fit. Scotty Flamingo maybbeeee?

Scott Hall, at one point? They're pretty close in real life.

David Sammartino would've been great for this. Too bad he ended up sucking so bad.

I think David could have been the guest referee for one of the matches between Zbyszko and the ungrateful protege, and he would be a heel referee.
