A New Twist on the Same Old Product

Well I have started a new circuit and at the beginning I have decided to use WWE talent, but there is a new twist. While getting all the paper work from 2004 filed and going over the numbers, Vince McMahon realizes that he lost several million dollars. This set back was worsened when Vince and the WWE were forced to buy back shares of their company when a group of angry shareholders protested against the WWE for certain events (Snitsky/Dead Baby Storyline mainly). Vince was forced to cut back and TNA swooped in and offered Kurt Angle, Edge, Chris Jericho, and others larger contracts. Vince also fired some of the lesser talent and some of the workers sided with the protesters. What Vince was left with was a roster of 30 and not enough capital to cover both January PPVs, so he cancelled New Years Revolution. With Royal Rumble approaching on January 30th Vince declared that the company would shut down until then and would reopen with a new look, and a fresh new product. Vince also said Smackdown! would go on hiatus until they could afford it.

THE TITLES

WWE World Heavyweight Title - will be awarded to the winner of the 2005 Royal Rumble

WWE Intercontinental Title - an 8 man tournament will be held involving the 8 men who finish 3-10 in the Royal Rumble

WWE World Tag Team Titles - at the Royal Rumble there will be a 6 team battle royal for the titles involving Eugene/Regal, Rhyno/Tajiri, The Basham Brothers, The Dudley Boys, La Resistance, and Muscle For Hire (Reigns and Tomko)

The complete card for the Royal Rumble is as follows:

*6-Team Battle Royal For The WWE World Tag Team Titles

*Batista vs. Triple H in a grudge match, Triple H wants to put Batista where he belongs

*Heidenreich vs. The Undertaker - No DQ

*The Big Show vs. John Bradshaw Layfield - The Bashams are banned from ringside

*The Royal Rumble Match involving everyone on the roster. The winner will be crowned the WWE World Heavyweight Champion


As time goes on talent will quit and I won't fight it. I'll work with what TNM gives me in regards to Injuries, Contracts, and the such. I will only book a match if I think it is crucial to the storyline. I will also bring in talent once and a while from TNA, ROH, and various other federations as well as some of the other talent WWE has currently employed. This will be based largely on the "m" key, and each wrestler will go through the probationary period before recieving a long term deal due to the fiscal situations involving the WWE and Vince McMahon.  Feel free to leave and comments, predictions, ideas, etc.

Interesting concept.  I can only assume that since Triple Hauitchaaaaaaaa is going to still be a main player.

The Rock (Who agreed to work at a very reduced fee to give back to the WWE for what it has given him)
Sure he decided to just come back to help out the poor ol' WWE... he must've realized all his movies blew koala ;D
