Especially since it doesn't make any sense for Big Show to torment people over their fathers after the whole Bossman angle. I like that it doesn't make any sense in that there's no set up. "f*** your father...because...reasons" It's Big Show though. A lot of his booking has made little sense, like his constant bi-polar heel turns. And as far as Del Rios dad being obscure so was Chavo classic and Cena and Miz's dad.

Not really,that story has been confirmed a LONG time ago.By Punk himself. Didn't Punk claim to have come up with the idea? I know he said he suggested Ambrose, Rollins, and Ohno. I think he did, but not unlikely that he talked with a few writers about it . And that in this case this writer as completely onboard with the lineup

Vince would have been flabergasted if he ever saw the Diva pictures threads during Kaitlyn's run

Honestly, the best idea of that whole list is the one with Stardust and Brandi. The second best? Taking AJ Lee off my television.

Sounds like his AJ/Bryan pairing was successful so he wanted to recreate it by giving Cody and Ambrose on screen girlfriends. Thing is with wrestling couples there's a lot more misses than hits. For every Savage/Liz couple there's a few where the performers don't click together Bryan/Gail Kim, Billy Gunn/Torrie Wilson, Dibiase/Maryse, Ziggler/Lana, pretty much all of Kelly Kelly's and Rosa Mendez's on screen partners and countless TNA couples.

Dean and AJ coming in like that wouldve been awesome.
But The Shield was better.

1) AJ meeting Ambrose in an asylum.
That is an awesome idea! Obviously the Shield worked out wonderful but that doesn't mean this isn't great too. In some ways this would have been a better debut for Ambrose as it would give him so much character and give Ambrose an excuse to get really crazy!
It's better than what they did anyway.
2) Indie stars invade WWE.
Another great idea. A bit too similar to The Radicalz though.
3) Big Show attacking Del Rio's father and stealing his mask.
Yep that might be the best one! Would get amazing heat.
4) Cody and Caitlyn hook up
Yep another interesting angle. Vince's perception of what makes women sexy is infuriating.
5) Cody and Bradi becoming Goldust and Stardust.
Meh. Stardust sucked but this could have been interesting at least.

It scares me that this Eck guy thinks these are all great ideas. Here's the question: How would any of that crap draw money at all? Isn't that the entire point of a wrestling feud or storyline? The only half decent idea of any of that is maybe the stuff with Dreamer leading those guys, but even then I dunno how much the typical WWE fan would care about Dreamer. Am I the only one who thinks all of that AJ Lee stuff in 2012 was utter dreck that seriously hurt a potentially classic Punk/Bryan feud? By creating new stars like Dean Ambrose, Dean Ambrose again, Seth Rollins, Kasius Ohno and making Cody Rhodes into a big babyface, given Damien Sandow another good heel run and giving AJ Lee an awesome angle. Aside from The Shield, which borrowed from his idea, none of the directions they went in instead drew money either.

I'm surprised to see so many saying these ideas sound awful.
I would have been happy to see any of these on TV.

I think the Cody Rhodes and Brandi as the new Goldust and Marlena would've been interesting

I sincerely believe every single member of this forum could come up with far better angles than these.

An AJ Lee and Dean Ambrose pairing could have been pretty cool. During the time of the AJ/Bryan/Kane/Punk shenanigans, I wanted Dean to debut as AJ's crazier new boyfriend and feud with either Punk or Bryan. Probably would have been a darker version of when Ziggler and AJ were a couple minus Big E. Also would be 1000 times better than AJ being a General Manager for literally no reason and saved us from those atrocious segments with Vickie Guerrero of all people demanding her to get fired for having dinner with a Superstar. But then we wouldn't have gotten The Shield which brings me to the Indy Stars faction. Yeah... I'm glad we got the Shield that we got and that Roman Reigns replaced Kassius Ohno. Roman fills the powerhouse spot a lot better and his chemistry with Seth and Dean worked perfectly. Now I'm bummed out cause I miss his silent badass character which actually got over positively. Kaitlyn dumping Cody for Sandow and turning heel because of his beard sounds hilarious though. Also, not shocked at Vince... I mean this is the same man who had to be told by JR that men find Asian women attractive.

Keep in mind Jericho's story.
He's been fired from Raw. Santa Claus is in the ring and asks Big Show what he wants for Christmas. Big Show wishes Jericho gets rehired.
"Ugh. My father is rolling over in his grave" Vince to Jericho.
Story plays out. JeriShow gets attacked by Santa's elves.
Jericho gets to the back. "So Vince, what's your dad doing now?"
"A full on gymnastics routine"
"You're the one who books this shit"

A few of them sound similar to things we've seen plenty of times. Invasions have been done a lot but he seemed to be on the right track as it seemed like a prototype of the Shield. AJ/Ambrose sounds great in a vacuum and could be entertaining. The Cody stuff might have been meh but keep in mind that Cody does a fantastic job of getting various characters over and whatnot. What seems meh on paper might have been brilliant if him, Kaitlyn and Sandow had any chemistry. The thing with Big Show, well it would have gotten him heat. Maybe not as much as he thought, but it wouldn't be hard to play up just how heinous the act was. WCW and WWE both had demasking storylines so the idea isn't completely foreign to us.

I'd rather have these than 99 percent of the stuff we get today.
Cody's mustache was such a failed opportunity. As silly as it sounds, it could've connected with a casual audience.

I'd have loved the insane Asylum story. Especially if as part of his insane gimmick Dean wore underpants on his head, had 2 pencils up his nose and kept saying "wibble".

what does it say about Vince that my main takeaway from this is "Vince thought Kaitlyn was unattractive"?
