I have an idea for an angle the WWE can do at Mania 25 to bring the ratings back up a bit and get the people's interest back into the product. It is a little controversial, but I think it would work well to get the people interested.
Wrestlemania 25, you get your normal buildup of Undertaker Vs Shawn Michaels for a few months leading up to it. Can HBK break the streak, same thing as usual...
However on Mania 25, instead of Taker coming in his character clothes, he walks out in a hoodie and street clothes. Taker gets on the mic and says, in a normal voice,
"You know, I really felt like not showing up today. The WWE has dressed me up and paraded me like a fool all these years. I've had to be in some of the dumbest storylines you can imagine and had to play some really ridiculous characters. Well you know what? I'm sick of it. That's right, i'm sick of it because I got a call a few weeks ago and Vince wanted to know if I was gonna lay down for Shawn Michaels because they decided that my Mania streak should be over. Well you know what, after putting up with all the crap that I've put up with over the years, I decided that I'm not gonna do it and Shawn... *mic cuts off"
WWE officials and referees run out and so does HBK. They hold the two men apart as HBK tries to attack Taker and Taker tries to attack HBK. Suddenly Vince's music hits.
Vince comes out and says,
"MARK...you think you a tough guy, well I'm sorry but you're working for me and you do what I SAY YOU'RE GOING TO DO. If I said LAY DOWN that's what you DO but since you don't wanna play nice...screw you! I don't need you! YOU'REEEEEEEEEEE FIIIIIIREEEEEEEEEED! And as for your streak? I'm declaring this match OVER with a victory for HBK! So kiss that goodbye too!"
The referee rings the bell and Undertaker rushes at Vince to punch him but Shawn hits him on the back of the head really hard (for real!) and Taker is tied up by the referees and security and escorted out of the building.
This can be called the Wrestlemania 25 screwjob and I think can usher in a new era just like The Montreal Screwjob did.
I also think it would get people TALKING about wrestling and the WWE again. (Which is a good thing because another Can Big Hoss break the streak angle would be boring and predictable but this would be shocking and fresh enough to get everyone talking)
They can even follow it up later with an MMA style match between Taker and HBK.
What do you guys think?
