I can't be the only one who misses these and thinks one'd be great to have about now. Can we, like, have Jinder Mahal show up at a DiBiase Posse get-together and kidnap Ted's pregnant wife or something? Maybe have Ted get back at Mahal by spraying him down with Red Bull and then hitting Dream Street into a dumpster?
Tell me that wouldn't improve that storyline.

The NXT love triangle (Bateman/Maxine/Curtis) has pretty much been a soap opera storyline.

They should do a storyline where Vince discovers that his father had another kid, a son or a daughter who arrives in WWE claiming control of it, with his/her father's secret will as proof.
Vince Russo wasted his time watching sleazy crap like Jerry Springer, Melrose Place, 90210 etc...
WWE bookers should watch old episodes of Dallas and Dynasty, since both are suitable for WWE in that they deal with power struggles within huge corporations and powerful families.

Because it is. ;D Seriously, why not take things over the top? Mahal and DiBiase have to have one of the most boring, uninteresting, skippable feuds in WWE history. Silliness is better than nothingness. |

Is there anyway to assure me that this will go better than when Edge kidnapped Paul Bearer? That was def the low point of Edge's career. Also, as a person who has seen every episode of Dallas, WWE can't do a better homage than the 2011 storyline between Vince/Hunter/Ace as to who controls the company. The big difference is that Dallas never would have left the question of Who sabotaged Hunter's reign of COO? go unanswered. |

If something like this ends up with DiBiase's wife giving birth to a vaguely Indian looking baby, with his wife giving his reason why she was with Mahal (never really kidnapped), then yes, I can get behind a soap opera storyline.

I've missed the OTT soap opera storylines for a while. There was a period of time a few years ago were literally every storyline was "You have the title, I want the title; let's fight" then repeat with another superstar. God that needed a long lost son or a cheating wife or an evil twin.

There should always be a place on any wrestling show for at least one crazy soap opera angle.

Let's go full-blown Twin Peaks here: it is discovered that Kane is a demonic presence that possesses different folks and was never a real person. The current Kane is John Cena, but in the past he has possessed Stone Cold, The Rock, Triple H, Brock Lesnar, Scotty 2 Hotty, and Hardcore Holly.
Meanwhile The Miz has just been deputized and now has to find out the mystery-man behind GTV and the Anonymous RAW GM, and the answers come to him in dreams featuring a backwards-moving Hornswoggle and Kelly Kelly, as well as The Great Khali.

We just need another multi-layered, love triangle angle like Trips-Steph-Angle - but with a pay-off

Ryder nearly being dragged to hell was a pretty good (fun) soap like story!

It's amusing how this thread happens, and then we get the remake of Drag Me To Hell starring Zack Ryder and Kane the exact same day.
