Re-booking of the New Generation: 1995 and Beyond.

[auph10imitated]

This has always been one of my favourite years to rebook as I think it had major potential, but they just booked everyone incorrectly, in the wrong spots with awful gimmicks. The talent was there, the booking decisions were mind-blowingly bad. The guys doing the blogs on RAW which has now reached 1995 has inspired me to have another go at doing so as a time filler.

I will be keeping it as realistic as possible, working with what the WWF had to work with. ie: I cant have people jumping from WCW when they were under contract, or having random people showing up if they were tied to other companies. Also if a wrestler's contract ends, they have to leave my booking too. But bear in mind, sometimes in reality just because a wrestler left the quit promotion, it doesnt mean they were not under contract. IE: Jeff Jarrett quit the WWF in July 1995 but in reality he was under contract until October 1996 so I am free to continue using him.

I wont have the time to write RAW by RAW, week by week, so I will write it up month by month in the form of being written like a journalist, ie: an Observer Newsletter and it will give you all of actions, gossip, comings & goings on a month by month with a write up of the monthly PPV.

Feel free to comment, pick out any mistakes made or even join and do your own if you like and have the time.

I am going to start exactly how the WWF started with everything in place as it was as of the 1st January however he only minor change is scrapping the Tag Team Tournament, instead the Smoking Gunns are the current Tag Team Champions after defeating Shawn Michaels & Diesel to win the titles and put the final nail in the teams coffin in the weeks following Survivor Series.

[The Dark Order Inferno]

1995 has such fundamental problems that getting a good year without a cavalcade of abrupt character changes and out of nowhere pushes would require rebooking to start in 1994. The talent is there to have absolutely amazing matches but the booking and characters... yikes.

Vince really should have taken The kliq aside and played them footage of Steve Austin's Fall Brawl match with Jim Duggan and said 'If you dislike the booking so much you're going to fight me on everything, you're free to go to WCW. Good luck jobbing to Duggan, Kevin Sullivan and the Guardian Angel because there's no way in hell you're getting near the world title there.'

[auph10imitated]

I agree with you there, I would have done that. But it would have made the task easy so I am going to work with what they had starting in January

January 1995

Current Champions:
WWF World Heavyweight Champion: Diesel
(November 26th 1994 - defeated Bob Backlund at Madison Square Garden)

WWF Intercontinental Champion: Razor Ramon
(August 29th 1994 - defeated Diesel at Summerslam 1994)

WWF Tag Team Champions: The Smoking Gunns
(December 12th 1994 - defeated Shawn Michaels & Diesel on RAW)

WWF Womens Champion: Bull Nakano
(November 20th 1994 - defeated Alundra Blayze at the Tokyo Dome)

The set up towards the Royal Rumble is pretty much the same as in reality, with Bret Hart being given the WWF Championship Title shot against Diesel after losing to Bob Backlund at the Survivor Series, Davey Boy Smith's involvement (or lack of after getting knocked out) at Survivor Series is coming into play more with the announcers, particularly Jim Cornette (whom is filling in as guest commentator on RAW in the lead up to the Royal Rumble, who is pretty much left without a charge since Yokozuna was last seen at the Survivor Series) alluding to friction between Hart & Bulldog.

Diesel meanwhile has had an eventful month of December, after a massive bust up with Michael's at Survivor Series he won the WWF Championship from Bob Backlund, in mid December both Michaels and Diesel were forced to defend the tag titles against their will against the Smoking Gunns on the December 12th episode of RAW, again Michael's levelled Diesel with a super kick, this time seemingly intentionally resulting in The Gunns winning their first championship and Diesel chasing Shawn Michaels out of the building in his wrestling gear on a cold December night, Michaels does an in ring promo the following week saying he is sick of carrying Diesel and he is coming for the WWF Title, which brings Diesel out for a pull apart brawl with mainly Michaels playing the chicken shit heel doing all of the goading and then hiding behind a host of referee's as Diesel is hot.

Other programs set up in December & January include The Undertaker running through members of the $$$ Corporation in matches on TV such as Volkoff & IRS, Dibiase plans on sending the bigger guns after Taker such as Bundy & Bigelow. Meanwhile an angle is set up between IC Champion Razor Ramon & Owen Hart when Owen pins Ramon in a tag match that also involved Jim Niedhart & 1-2-3 Kid. Owen is named the No.1 Contender and will get a shot at the title at the Royal Rumble.

The Smoking Gunns on the heels of their tag championship victory take on all comers at the following TV tapings including victories over the Heavenly Bodies, Well Dunn  & The Headshrinkers, in an angle on RAW where Ted Dibiase looks as if hes about to offer them cash for thier contracts they are attacked from behind and laid out by Bam Bam and Tatanka setting up a tag title match at the Rumble. 

Through the month of December a huge deal is made in vignettes and talking segments of a huge star from Japan coming to the WWF, Hakushi. They hype him up as a big deal in Japan. Hakushi debuts on the January 9th episode of RAW with an impressive victory over Bob Holly, with a really cool entrance they announcers hype him big time as International signing and will make a big impression in 1995. In the run up to the Rumble it is announced he will make his PPV debut teaming with fellow countryman and WWF Womens Champion Bull Nakano to take on 1-2-3 Kid and Alundra Blayze.

30 Man Over the Top Royal Rumble

^now this is a Rumble I'd watch

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

Only thing with that is I think one of the Smoking Gunns got injured because they were replaced in the tournament by Bob Holly/123 Kid.

I'm using Alyce: Old Media Enthusiast's blog to help out, since it's right around this timeframe.

So, the only change to that card I'd make is swapping out The Smoking Gunns with The Allied Powers who formed before the Rumble, aren't elsewhere on your card, and it condenses a couple of things. You can have this as the final blowoff to Luger v Tatanka, the Powers win the titles, establishing a new team, and you can keep LT getting involved with Bam Bam, one part I would keep for realism's sake.

I'm assuming Vince would want the deal anyway, and it worked out well IRL so might as well keep it for WM 11.

I've never understood this because both Gunns are in the Rumble.

Possibly an injury that looked bad but turned out to not be that serious? Weird.

[auph10imitated]

According to the Observer the injury was kayfabe, which is why they used the weak excuse of one of the Gunns falling off a horse, Vince had a last minute idea to push Holly & Kid as an upstart team, but then they just dropped the belts after the PPV anyways, all a bit pointless really.

Also when it comes to the booking, unless its a serious injury that kept them out a long time, like Austins' neck. I would pretty much ingore it, because minor injuries may not have happened in a rebooked scenario. But yeah I get what you mean, I am going to try and keep it as realistic as possible.

[mauled]

Now I appreciate this would have involved him not getting fired again (a tough ask) but giving Marty Jeneatty a heel turn would have worked with Shawns face turn at the time.
He could have really let loose at the fans for rejecting him in favour of the guy who threw him through a window etc.

The Royal Rumble results:

The 1995 Royal Rumble took place in front of a packed 10,000 + fans in the Sun Dome in Tampa Florida, there was smattering of celebrity appearances as we started the road to Wrestlemania. The show opened with Baywatch's Pamela Anderson arriving at the arena as the wrestlers attempted too woo her, she will be the guest timekeeper for the Royal Rumble and will escort the winner to the ring at Wrestlemania for his WWF Championship shot. We then headed over to Vince McMahon and Jerry The King Lawler to open the show....

Owen Hart defeated WWF Intercontinenal Champion Razor Ramon in 15:11 to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship in a hot opener with Owen taking some crazy bumps at the hands of Ramon, Jim Cornette came to ringside mid way through the match to watch the action, he stayed quiet until the final moments when Ramon signaled for the Razor's Edge, Cornette got on the apron to distract the referee, Ramon grabbed Cornette by the throat and as the ref tried to break it up Cornette chucked his tennis racket to Owen, who nailed Ramon, before getting the three count. Owen did a typical over the top Owen celebration with the IC Championship before leaving with Jim Cornette as referee's helped up Ramon from what was obviously a shot from a loaded racket.

WWF Womens Champion Bull Nakano and Hakushi defeated Alundra Blayze and 1-2-3 Kid at 12.36 in a Mixed Tag Team Match when Nakano pinned Blayze with a legdrop from the top rope, another hot match which Hakushi impressed in his PPV debut with an array of fantastic sequences with The Kid. McMahon and Lawler really put Hakushi over as a big deal.

The Smoking Gunns defeated Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka in 8:19 when Billy pinned Tatanka with the sidewinder after Bam Bam Bigelow had become distracted by NFL star Lawrence Taylor in the front row, the ending came as Bigelow had gotten into an argument with LT, after the match Bigelow returned to continue the argument which resulted in a shoving match and a pull apart with Tatanka, The Gunns and referee's breaking it up.

Shawn Michaels won the 30 Man Royal Rumble in 56:01 by lastly eliminating Davey Boy Smith with a blow to the back as Smith stood on the middle turnbuckle, celebrating his apparent win; it was assumed Michaels had been eliminated via a clothesline, however, only one of Michaels' feet touched the floor, Michaels celebrated with Pamela Anderson. The Rumble was given 2 minute entrances unlike in reality which was given 60 seconds, purely based on the fact it was heavier on star power by including the wrestlers that had matches on the undercard like Owen, Razor, Hakushi, Kid, Tatanka as well as no Undertaker singles match which freed him up for the Rumble match. This helps further Razor and Owen who brawl out of the ring with Razor chasing him off and also it is announced at the to of the match that Bam Bam has been removed from the match following his actions in the previous match

WWF Champion Diesel pinned Bret The Hitman Hart at 27:20 with a jacknife powerbomb, about 2/3 into the match Shawn Michaels came to ringside which caused Diesel a distraction on numerous occasions until Davey Boy Smith who had already cut an angry promo backstage following his earlier loss had seen enough and he came to ringside to chase Michaels, the referee is bumped as Diesel collides into him in the corner, Bulldog then chased Michaels (whilst Michaels was holding the WWF Title belt) into the ring Micahels drops the belt and Smith retrieves it, he then takes a wild swing at Michaels with the belt however Michaels ducked and Smith levels Hart with the championship, with Bret down Bulldog chases off Shawn Micahels, The referee then slowly recovers as Diesel nails Bret with a jacknife to pick up the win as he celebrates as the show goes off the air.

February and March 1995

After the fallout from the Royal Rumble we now on the Road to Wrestlemania and the main event has been established, WWF Champion Diesel will defend the WWF Championship againt the winner of the Royal Rumble, Shawn Michaels and Shawn will be accompanied to the ring by Pamela Anderson.

On the RAW following Royal Rumble Jim Cornette announces that he is the manager of the new Intercontinental Champion Owen Hart, not only will he be managing Hart but he has every intention of expanding his stable, Camp Cornette.

One of the biggest stories to come out of the Royal Rumble was the altercation between LT and Bam Bam Bigelow, on the RAW following the PPV Bigelow is suspended by president Jack Tunney.Ted Dibiase tries to appeal the decision, in the process he runs down LT and his representatives. When Bigelow returns to TV in the subsequent weeks he throws out an open challenge to LT, which at first seemingly falls on deaf ears, LT later responds in a press conference where he accepts Bam Bam's challenge, any place, anytime. Bigelow eventually invites LT to RAW, a face to face confrontation between the pair results in a sneak attack from Tatanka, Lex Luger eventually makes the save and a tag team match is announced for Wrestlemania, Lex Luger then trains Taylor in a series of vignettes in the lead up to the PPV. It is later announced that the match will be a tag team Lumberjack Match where the Million Dollar Corporation and LT's All Star Team will surround the ring.

Another person who is continuing their feud with Dibiase's crew is The Undertaker, as Taker is running through the Corporation, Dibiase promises a big surprise, his crown jewel who will take out The Undertaker once and for all. During a match between Taker and Bundy on the February 20th RAW, Sid Justice returns to the WWF after a 3 year absence. Attacking Taker after the match. He later goes on to challenge The Undertaker to a match at Wrestlemania.

The tension between Bret Hart and the British Bulldog following the Royal Rumble begins to heighten, built up over the next few weeks a face to face interview is scheduled between the two in the ring on RAW, Smith apologies to Hart for his recent screw ups and wants to put things behind them, they shake hands. They then agree to team up the following week against the team of Owen Hart and Shawn Michaels, after a really strong match the Bulldog turns heel on Bret and leaves with Owen hart and Jim Cornette. In an interview the next week Cornette reveals Bulldog as his latest acquisition, claiming he was right about the issues all along so he approached the Bulldog with an offer he couldnt refuse. Bulldog then expains he was sick and tired of it always being about Bret and he was not getting the recognition he deserved, claiming whether it was in tag action with the Bulldogs vs Hart Foundation or in front of 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium, Bulldog was always the better of the two. Bret challenges Bulldog to a match at Wrestlemania, and promises to outdo thier match at Wembley Stadium and take back his win, lots of clips of the Summerslam match are shown in the following weeks to build anticipation for the match at Mania.

As Wrestlemania draws closer we have Diesel vs Michaels on top and big hype for the Bulldog/Bret match, both they are counting on to be show stealers. The celebrity heavy match in Luger & LT vs Bam Bam and Tatanka and the big man match between Sid & Taker. Meanwhile Rowdy Roddy Piper makes his return on an episode of RAW and is announced as the Guest Host of the show, and a slew of other celebrities are added such as Salt-N-Pepa singing the National Anthem, Jenny McCarthy, Nicholas Turturo and Jonathan Taylor Thomas will join Pamela Anderson on the show.

Over the weeks other matches added to the card at The Smoking Gunns defending the Tag Team Championship against Jeff Jarrett and The Roadie, Razor Ramon and Alundra Blayze are given rematches against Owen Hart and Bull Nakano respectively, and 1-2-3 Kid will meet Hakushi.

As Wrestlemania approaches Men on a Mission turn heel after losing a tag Title Match to the Smoking Gunn's, Diana Hart Smith is interviewed and gives her thoughts on the Bret/Bulldog match, showing her disgust at her husband's actions over the past few weeks. Shawn Michaels, Bam Bam and Tatanka and filmed in a segment at Times Square in New York where they run down thier respective opponents until Luger and Diesel show up, introduce L.T and there is a confrontation. Roddy Piper films several segments on his picks for each match to build the PPV and lots of new superstars are promised after Wrestlemania.

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

Just wondering, any place for Crazy Bob Backlund?

[auph10imitated]

I was never a fan of Bob Backlund, I didnt mind crazy Bob, but by this point he was being phased out, I cant even recall the Bret-Backlund WM match having much build on TV, he then went on to do his Presidential campaign after Mania, which was dropped in a few weeks and I dont think he appeared much on TV again until he managed the Sultan, so in this scenario I have phased him out folling the loss to Diesel.

[Hit Girl]

1995 King of the Ring.

Shawn Michaels wins it, and is then joined in the ring by Diesel, Razor Ramon, and the 123 Kid (HHH would join them a few months later).

HBK says "We are sick and tired of this New Generation shit! We've had enough of garbage men, hockey players and clowns. We're taking over this company and saving it from becoming like WCW, with the same old, and I do mean OLD, shit they are serving up every week with the likes of Hogan, Savage, and all the other fossils that couldn't hack it here anymore, and to those ECW loving assholes living in their grandmother's attics or basements who think they are the cutting edge, you ain't seen nothing yet!"

Then he drops the mic and flips off the crowd.

The PPV ends with Vince on commentary screaming "god dammit, cut the transmission!"

WRESTLEMANIA 11 Results

Wrestlemania X1 kicked off with a performance of America The Beautiful by Grammy Award Winning Rap Group, Salt N Pepa to a massive ovation as Vince McMahon and Jerry The King Lawler opened the show from ringside with a sea of photographers surroundingthe ring, as Rowdy Roddy Pipers music hit and he came to the ring to open Wrestlemania for the New Generation, he talked about being part of Wrestlemania 1, 10 years ago in 1985 and hoped tonight they would carry on the tradition.

Hakushi defeated 1-2-3 Kid at 14.30 in a fantastic opening match that had the crowd going, towards the end Kid has clearly injured himself, it wasn’t clear as to whether it was a work, or it was a stinger but he was struggling to even stand, Hakushi was then relentless as they went into the finish, Kid fought back but missed a spinning kick, Hakushi lifted him and drilled him with a stiff Northern Lights Bomb for the three. Jim Ross tried to catch up with Hakushi as he left but he shrugged him off, referees attended to Kid in the ring before helping him out to what was a high impact start to Wrestlemania

Backstage Nicholas Turturo hung out with the wrestlers and celebrities trying to find pam Anderson to interview, he was unable to locate her which became a running angle through the night as Anderson had apparently had words with Shawn Michaels and left the building

The Undertaker defeated Sid Justice via DQ at 4:12 when The Undertaker dragged Ted Dibiase into the ring and set him up for a chokeslam as Dibiase was attempting to attack Paul Bearer, Justice made the save with a shot to the back with a steel chair, the referee called for the bell as Justice nailed him a few more times until it put him down, Taker rose up and then stalked Justice & Dibiase to the back as the lights went down. The weakest match on the card quality wise was kept short and the fans dug the end.

Alundra Blayze defeated WWF Womens Champion Bull Nakano at 10.10 to regain the championship after hitting three German Suplexes, the title celebration was cut short as a women dressed in black hit the ring and attacked Blayze, press slamming her and kicking her in the face as officials dragged her off.

WWF IC Champion Owen Hart defeated Razor Ramon to retain the title at 13.01 when Owen had his feet on the ropes and supported by Jim Cornette, Razor has been screwed again for second pay per view straight. Fans were not happy with the result as Razor was over big.

Lawrence Taylor and Lex Luger defeated Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka at 8.12 when Taylor pinned Tatanka with a diamond cutter, Tatanka had collided with Bigelow sending him flying off the apron landing on his own stable members including Ted Dibiase knocking him down, Salt N Pepa returned at the start of the match to sing Taylor to the ring and both the Corporation and the NFL Players repeatedly got into fights around the ring. After the match Dibiase scolded Bigelow and Tatanka as Taylor and Luger celebrated with Taylors son and the All Star Team.

Bret Hart pinned Davey Boy Smith (w/ Jim Cornette) at 25:09 with an Oklahoma side roll after kicking the challenger in the face as he ran towards the corner, this match was the same as the match they would eventually have in reality at In Your House in December and Bret was busted open big time with blood all over the ring, easily a show stealer, Rowdy Roddy Piper came out and did commentary as a nod to the bloody battle he had with Bret 3 years earlier at Wrestlemania 8.

Jeff Jarrett and The Roadie defeated WWF Tag Team Champions The Smoking Gunns at 6.12 when Jarrett pinned Billy, this was the buffer match as the crowd needed a breather between Hart/Smith and the main event. They played up the fact Billy had bruised ribs at the hands of an attack by Mabel prior to the PPV when MOM turned heel and Jarrett/Roadie took advantage.

WWF World Champion Diesel (w/ Pamela Anderson) pinned Shawn Michaels (w/Jenny McCarthy) at 20:37 with a boot to the face and the powerbomb; Jonathan Taylor Thomas was the guest time keeper for the bout; Nicholas Tuturro was the guest ring announcer; McCarthy replaced Anderson who was AWOL, but she then came out with Diesel after the bout, Diesel invited Anderson, McCarthy, Thomas, & Tuturro come into the ring to celebrate, Lawrence Taylor also came out to join in the celebration as pyro exploded as the show went off the air.

A really strong card with Hart/Bulldog bloodbath stealing the show, great matches in Diesel/Michaels & Hakushi/Kid, the Womens Title and IC Title were both really hot matches also and the Sid/Taker, Lumberjack and Tag Title matches all played their part as well and kept short. As well as all the celebs interacting with wrestlers through the show gave it a big show feel.

April 1995

Coming off Wrestlemania the fued between Shawn Michaels and Diesel is still not over, Shawn claims he is not through with Diesel yet and in interviews following the PPV he begins to adopt a more serious heel approach as opposed to the gyrating chicken shit playboy gimmick he has played for many years.

Also following the loss to LT and Lex Luger at Wrestlemania, the Million Dollar Corporation is in need of regrouping, in an angle on the subsequent RAW Dibiase scolds Tatanka and Bigelow for the embarrassing loss. Eventually he forgives Bigelow, but fires Tatanka for the snafu at Mania and taking the 3 count in the last two PPV matches. As Tatanka stands up for himself and goes after Dibiase he is assualted by Bam Bam, as a beatdown occurs until an unlikely ally in the man whom he stabbed in the back runs out to make the save, Lex Luger. Luger cautiously helps Tatanka to his feet, who nods on to show appreciation for his help. In the following weeks Tatanka begins to show remorse and repents his sins of joining the Million Dollar Coporation, while everyone warn's Luger that he cant trust Tatanka, Luger extends the hand of friendship. The two then decade to form a new tag team called "American Made" (Made in the USA & The Native Amaerican) as Tatanka adopts stars and stripes on his tights and revisits using the war paint on his face in red, white & blue. They aim to not only put an end to the Corporation but eventually win the WWF Tag Team Championship.

The Corporation itself begins to slim down as IRS & Nikolai Volkoff depart the WWF in April. Leaving Bam Bam, Sid & Bundy. Ted Dibiase also reveals that he was behind the attack on Alundra Blayze at Wrestlemania when he introduces his the Monster Ripper into his stable. Blayze suffered a broken nose at the hands of Ripper at Mania and she now plans to take the Womens Championship the Corporation.

Hakushi continues his dominance over the competition and it is revealed that 1-2-3 Kid suffered a serious neck injury at Wrestlemania.

Vignettes for some new stars coming to the WWF are also aired through April, one of the most notable is Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

A new team called The Blonde Bombshell's will also debut, consisting of Chris Candido, Louie Spicolli and thier manager Sunny. A trio of flashy, arrogant, ego driven, good looking blondes who promise to take the Tag Team Division by storm.
