Where does Umaga go after Wrestlemania?

[redriverjack]

Its pretty obvious that Lashley is going to win the match a Wrestlemania, thus, Vince having his head shaved. BUt what happens to Umaga after the loss? His whole gimmick is that he is an unstoppable machine. This plus the loss to Cena is going to hurt him big time.

I see him over time becoming more "human", ala Kane. A few months ago I would have said he would be shipped off to OVW and repackaged, but they seem to be commited to the character.

fights KHALIIIIIIIIII

goes back to the jungle

I'm Sorry Khali! But you had Three minutes!.........

Estrada tells him that he's going to get him a friend, who happens to be Khali. The two wipe out the tag team division, all the while fighting for Estrada's approval (think Starr, Shelley, Nash), until they damn near kill each other after a loss. Sets up a bunch of matches, blows off at Wrestlemania next year.

Okay, here goes: Vince gets his head shaved. On RAW the next night, Vince blames Umaga and has the Great Khali take him out.

Khali goes on a Vince-fueled rampage until the next PPV where he faces Cena for the WWE title. As it looks like Khali is about to wipe out Cena, Umaga emerges from the dead and takes out Khali. Waking up and seeing Khali down, Cena shrugs and covers him for the win.

Goals achieved: Cena keeps his "just barely wins" streak going. Khali's still an unstoppable monster heel, but gets diverted away from the WWE title without losing steam. Umaga is a monster face. I'd cheer for him.

I don't know if Umaga would work as a face.

I see what you're saying, but bear in mind I've thought the same thing about a lot of people and it turned out okay.

I assumed that he would feud with Jeff Hardy over the IC title. He has dominated Jeff in every single televised match they have shown and even though Umaga is no longer the "Undefeated" monster, he still has a great dominance over Hardy.

Therefore, Hardy most overcome his Samoan demon in order to get back on track.

They could have a couple month long feud with Hardy coming back for more and more, slowly getting more offense in before the inevitable loss.

Hardy gets more and more discouraged. Vince, or Coach if Vince is busy torturing Cena/Lashley/whoever, taunts Jeff's failure and will not grant him another title match. He has to earn it.

Hardy wins a number one contenders match, but is still doubtful about his chances. He gets a pep talk from another wrestler (perhaps Flair if they have him take a "Wise Man" type gimmick) and finally beats Umaga on a pay per view for the title.

Hardy not only gets back his IC title, but also his confidence.

It would at least allow Umaga as a powerful monster for a few months, stalling the "What do we do with him now" syndrome.

True good point. Who thought Kane would become a face.

Umaga will prob be sent to ECW to continue his feud with Lashley. it makes sense and makes khali raws no 1 monster.

and with Snitsky now there it gives ECW 2 stiffer samoan trained hosses(Snitsky trained by AFA) that get heat.

Every time Vince tries to do something evil, a crazed out-of-control Samoan shows up and hunts him like a dog. The crowds would go nuts.

Plus, Umaga's high impact moveset is tailor-made to crowd-please.

[willywonka666]

he should go to ECW

[Doctor Tull-eus S. Venture]

Where does Umaga go after Wrestlemania?

I think he'll hit up the nearest IHOP. He'll prbably be really hungry after wrestling in front of 60,000 people.

Umaga loses.
Lou Bega and Vince turn on him, he turns "face" and good Umaga reigns supreme...till he gets into a feud with Khali, now managed by Lou Bega, loses his belt to him and they battle up until Summerslam.

This stuff writes itself...

[Loki]

Whatever happens, I hope we don't get treated to another "unstoppable monster" who's on the losing end of matches more often than not...

Send him to ECW and let him stay around the main-event scene. On RAW or even on SD! he can't last much more without starting winning "real" belts or getting jobbed to every new Golden Boy

Why does this make me think of the "Jimminy Lummox" episode of "Red and Stimpy?"

You could have Umaga extract revenge for Vince's evils until it degrads into things like Vince trying to jaywalk... BAM, Samoan Spike out of nowhere. Vince doesn't tip well at a restaurant... BAM, that butt-face move in the corner. Vince shuts the door on some Girl Scouts... BAM, samoan drop.

I hope he goes away for about three minutes!
