This idea came about from watching Bumfights. It's pretty long, but picture this scenario: Rob Conway loses everything one week when Raw's in Vegas. He puts up the house, the car, and even his WWE contract in a poker game against Nick Hogan. Which leads us to: Homeless Rob Conway He hitchhikes to Raw every week hoping to get his job back. Coach doesn't want to upset Vince, so he pays Conway per match and books him against monsters every week to hopefully get Conway to quit. Conway takes brutal beatings week after week and even wins the Intercontinental title, even though it was a fluke. Conway should have enough money now to buy a house, but it's revealed that Conway has a bigger opponent that he can't beat: alcoholism. Coach thinks this is hilarious and starts paying Conway to do retarded stunts, like eating Mae Young's vomit and sitting on a thumbtack filled whoopee cushion. It's not until Jake Roberts and Scott Hall make a cameo and talk some sense into Rob. They tell him how good of an athlete he is and how he needs to shape himself together. With a little of their help, Conway can reach the very top and do something that neither of them did - win the WWE championship. After a week or two of montages showing Rob work out and getting his life back together, he wrestles John Cena and loses. The stipulation's that the loser has to cart the winner out of the arena in a rickshaw. Conway carts Cena out and down to a local bar where they have a drinking contest. About 10 minutes later, we see that Conway's totally wasted. Cena demands Conway to head back to the arena so he can take a shower. But on the way back, Conway gets a DUI on a rickshaw. Now ... I think the question here is: why am I not a writer for WWE?

...So even in your booking Cena goes over Conway? Damn, Superman has gone too far when he's been superpushed even in fantasy bookings.

Yeah, but it'd lead to Conway pushing a rickshaw.

Then he goes to rehab, where every week it shows him fighting his demons (turning him face in the process), until they start hyping his return. One RAW he comes out saying he's beaten the toughest opponent ever... addiction. And now there's no one he can't beat. Cue Cena's music, Cena comes out running down Conway's alcoholism and brags about beating him before (turning Cena heel). This leads to a non title match where Conway wins by countering the FU into a roll up in what could be considered an upset, booking Conway vs Cena for the WWE Title at New Years Revolution.
At NYR Cena gains the victory after hitting Conway in the head with a beer bottle (sending a message of irony). Conway then goes into the Royal Rumble but comes runner up after Cena interfears costing him the match.
Conway then enters a tournament where the winner goes to face Cena at Wrestlemania which ofcourse Conway wins making the match. During the build to WM Cena takes many shots at Conways previous demons, and Conway vows to win the title as an inspiration to all those battling addiction.
Wrestlemania is an epic battle, and in the end Conway reverses the FU and throws Cena outside, whilst outside Cena grabs a beer bottle the attempts to smash it on Conway, but Conway ducks it and hits the FU on Cena. He then picks Cena up and hits The 12 Steps (renamed Egotrip) for the 1, 2, 3! The crowd explodes as Conway celebrates in the ring! What a moment!

This reminds me of the gimmick I gave a character in my long-standing wrestling storyline.
The Iron Gladiator is a former World and American champ, and a World and American tag champ. However, the secret of his success is about 25% talent, 25% cheating, and 50% the metal elbow joint he was given after a car crash (like Luger, I guess). However, after years of using this for victories (it's stipulated that he wear an over-padded elbow pad with a mechanism to lock it to his arm, but he has many ways around that) doctors realise that it's causing untold damage to his arm, so it is removed. He now can't buy a win (he tries), and spirals into depression and eventually, alcoholism and homelessness.
However, there are slightly more beneficial side-effects. Whilst drunk, he feels no pain, and therefore wins the No Holds Barred Title. Then, through lack of food, he becomes eligible for the Light Heavyweight Title. However, when he wins it, he can afford to eat out off the win bonus, and gains weight - he has to drop the weight, and thus loses both strength and the belt.
Eventually, he comes out of his spiral of depression to form a Jobber Agency - this means that he employs career-long scrubs to lose to other wrestlers for a fee. He will agree to lose and give someone the rub in addition, as he is now, somehow, a grand-slam champion.

That gimmick would kill!! Especially if he comes to the ring looking drunk and like a bum with his current music playing.

In my Fantasy booking, Cena is jobbing to Mick Foley. Hardcore Matches every single week. Yes, I am that evil.

They've alredy got Charlie Haas. Yeah but for whatever reason I keep thinking that WWE is doing a hybrid gimmick with Hoss. At times they make him "homeless" Charlie Hass and other times they make him "Metrosexual" Charlie Hass. "Metrosexual HOBO" Charlie Hass.

Just the idea of watching Rob Conway attack random people for a 20 spot and a bottle of Thunderbird makes me laugh.
And that Charlie Haas homeless sig...............awesome!

OK, I like your idea a lot, except after the rickshaw thing, they go to the bar to drink, and while Cena is drinking, Conway is either throwing his shots away or he's getting the bartender to switch his drinks. After Cena is completely smashed, Conway challenges him to a title match right there and since the ref was supervising the drinking contests, he is there to count Conway's victory! (If you're asking how Conway got a 2nd title shot he could've won the Money in the Bank and a tournament like Edge did last year or something)

I love this idea!
At some point while Conway is on the streets, Scott Hall needs to walk stumble by for no reason and never be mentioned. But this time, with a beer in each hand

That's a good idea. How about Conway and Jake Roberts do some training on the streets of Chicago and while Conway's running laps, Jake is interrupted by someone asking for change who turns out to be Scott Hall.
