Official 'Playing With Figures' Thread

This thread should be pinned

The three major stories I'm doing right now are all circa Attitude Era.

Backdrop: It's the end of 1998. The WWF has secured its place at the top of the American wrestling promotions. Seeing the futures of their respective companies dwindling, many ECW and WCW talent has jumped ship and joined the WWF.

Feud #1: Shawn Michaels has returned from his back injury and now is feuding with Triple H over control of DX. HBK feels that he is the rightful leader, being that he created the stable, while Hunter feels he should lead because the group has reached new heights since Shawn left.

Future: Once Elite 27 comes out, the feud will culminate with DX turning on Shawn at a PPV match for control of DX. Shawn will bring back Rick Rude and try to beat Hunter, but continuously come up short. This will lead Shawn to super kick the retired legend, making him go full-blown heel. HHH will also turn heel later by aligning with Vince. The rest of DX will eventually follow.

Feud #2: First off, haha, I said "number 2." Second, this isn't entirely a feud. With ECW making their presence felt in the WWF, Vince has tried to conceal the problem by giving the Hardcore Championship it's own separate commissioner, who strips the belt from reigning champion Al Snow to hold a tournament for the title. The final four consist Mike Awesome, Terry Funk, Al Snow, and Spike Dudley. The semi-final and final brackets will take place at the upcoming PPV.

Future: Terry Funk will win the tournament against Mike Awesome after Paul Heyman reveals himself as the GM and hits Awesome with a chair, placing him on a table, giving Funk the opportunity to hit a moonsault off the stage. Upon winning, Funk will continue on his winning streak, and, ultimately, challnging his close friend Mick Foley to a Hell in a Cell match. Funk, stating he's done almost everything in the business, plans on retiring but first wants to challenge his friend to a match in the match that made him famous.

Feud #3: This one is a much more straight forward feud. Stone Cold, Undertaker, and The Rock are caught in a three-way feud for the WWF title. Stone Cold is reigning champ, and wreaking havoc on the WWF. Undertaker has long-been hungry for another championship reign and has started to "turn to the darkness" to achieve his goals. The Rock is with Vince McMahon and willing to step on anyone to get the title around his waist.

Future: After a series of battles, the feud will culminate with The Undertaker winning the belt in a triple threat elimination casket match (that was a mouthful; I ran out of breathe just typing it). His reign will be short, however, losing the title back to Stone Cold who will engage in a feud with Triple H before losing the title to Mankind.

Mankind will be challenged to the Hell in a Cell by Funk during this time, and the match will be title for title. After winning the match, Mankind celebrates with Funk, saying Funk is the true hardcore champion, regardless of who holds the belt. During the celebration, The Rock will attack both of them. The next night on Raw, Mankind will defend the WWF Championship against The Undertaker. After the match, The Rock runs to the ring and give Mankind a Rock Bottom. He forces the ref to count to three. Vince McMahon comes out and states that the match was official due to the 24/7 hardcore rule, and was for both titles, making The Rock the new WWF champion. This will lead to a long feud between Mankind and The Rock that will end in mutual respect.

Other future plans: Stone Cold will regain his title and feud with Triple H. Triple H is part of the new Corperation consisting of himself, Vince, Chyna, The Outsiders, Trish Stratus, and Big Bossman. With the help from interference, HHH wins the title. After kicking out and humiliating Trish, she aligns herself with Stone Cold against the Coperation, culminating in a mixed-tag match for both Trish's Women's title and HHH's WWF title. Trish pins Chyna after Stone Cold gives her a stunner, thus making Stone Cold champ again.

With newfound respect for one another, The Rock and Mankind will embark on a comedic storyline where The Rock is hunger for a title shot. Mankind will set up title shot after title shot for his friend, but always for the wrong title. Eventually, Mankind will face Vince in a hardcore match with the stipulation being if Vince wins, Mick Foley must quit the WWF, but if Mankind wins, he can book the next PPV. Mankind eventually wins and, finally, gives Rock his WWF title shot. During the period where Mankind gets to book the next PPV, all the superstars start sucking up to him to try to get their title shots, including rubbing his feet, getting him things like coffee and magazines to read, fanning him with palm fronds, and feeding him grapes.

Finally, one I haven't figured out exactly how to present yet is Al Snow vs. Kane, which will be called Crazy vs. Crazier.

I have a lot of ideas to put in my matches, but I have no time and I always discourage when I remember I need to prepare the arena, the camera, edit pics...
