So, I've been looking back at the older threads and going through old PMs and archived conversations on MSN. And I realized... I had a lot of ideas that I never actually followed through on.  I thought it might be fun to share some of those ideas now. For starters, let's go back to the year 2009. November-ish, to be exact. I was preparing to drop Mickie James, leaving me with free pick on Smackdown. I ended up going with John Morrison, but that wasn't always the plan. Now, I actually had two different ideas at this time. For now, we'll highlight the one I actually did more in depth planning for. Jimmy Wang Yang. Smackdown's resident redneck. I always had a soft spot for JWY. In fact, one of my earliest successes as a GM was building him and Colt Cabana up and them winning Smackdown's Tag Team Titles. But, almost a year later, Colt was flying solo, leaving poor Jimmy in jobbersville. So I was gonna take him and have him face a taken heel, probably MVP, Miz/Morrison, or Henry. And he was gonna lose. Stay with me here. After a few more losses, Jimmy would be the victim of a double/triple team assault. It would look pretty bleak until the arrival of... Sebastian(Heath) Slater. Slater and Jimmy would begin teaming up, still with no success. But they would rescue Gail Kim. So now we have JWY, Heath Slater, and the hottest Asian chick in the world teaming up. The end, right? WRONG. Because they're still losing! Enter one man who can turn things around. A man who has managed many Champions. A man who knows a thing or two about tag team matches... Teddy Long. Yes. See, these four would band together to form a stable of Old West Superstars... "The Asian Redneck" Jimmy Wang Yang. "Crazy Slates" Sebastian Slater. "The Rose of The South Pacific" Gail Kim. And I forget what Teddy's nickname was gonna be. But don't tell me that stable wouldn't have been awesome! Seriously, don't tell me that. It'll hurt my feelings. Tomorrow: The other idea I had for Mickie's replacement! |

So, last night, I reminisced about how I didn't take Jimmy Wang Yang. Tonight's isn't quite as exciting. Basically, Sebastian Slater was a jobber on Smackdown. I had a plan to play off of that losing streak, but not with Slater himself. Oh no. Slater would instead receive... "pep talks" from a most unexpected source. Hornswoggle had last been seen being physically, verbally, and mentally abused by Mark Henry. It was a rough year for the little guy. First he was traded to Raw, away from his father, then his father and European Conquest(more on them later) beat him up the night before WrestleMania. Then he went to Smackdown and became a human loofah for the World's Strongest Man. So, I would have taken Hornswoggle and had him and Slater team up. But instead, Slater was paired with(coincidentally) Mark Henry, and went on to win the Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania. Tomorrow: How AA and I DIDN'T save Smackdown's Women's division! |

Forgot to update yesterday... So, at the same time that I was contemplating the previous two ideas, Above Average was planning on dropping R-Truth. He approached me with an idea... You see, apparently Michael Hayden was having second thoughts about whether or not to stick with Colt Cabana, and one of the picks he was considering was Gail Kim. AA wanted to use this opportunity to revive the women's division on Smackdown, similar to what he, SNS, Hong Kong Phooey, Hayden, and DubH had done on Raw. The plan was if Hayden took Gail, AA would take Brie Bella, while I would take either Beth Phoenix or Eve Torres. That didn't happen. Instead, AA and I ended up with Miz and Morrison(briefly tag-ruling Layla and Mickie, until a certain current Raw GM took Ms. James shortly before WrestleMania), while Hayden stuck it out with Colt. In the end, the best call, since Hayden did awesome work with Colt, and Morrison was fun(albeit not very successful). Next time... How the Fight Club angle was SUPPOSED to happen!! |

At the end of the Christmas Eve 2009 ECW, General Manager Mae Young received a letter that caused her to angrily storm out of the arena. Joey Styles would later reveal that, due to the recent stockpiling of injuries and increased violence, that Mae had been fired! A week later, the final show of the year, we were promised a new GM. The only clue was someone with experience. We were teased all night with appearances by former GMs Rowdy Roddy Piper, Shad Gaspard, Mike Adamle, and Ted DiBiase, but in the end, ECW's new GM was... WILLIAM REGAL!!! Regal then turned ECW upside down by changing the name to The Fight Club, then imposing a brand new set of rules, some of which seemed rather... extreme. Now, while the angle did somewhat play out the way I intended, lack of communication(my fault, since I was hesitant to give too much away) caused a lot of stuff to be lost in translation. So here's a run down of how I wanted it to go. For the first few weeks, the guys who hated the new brand would be very vocal. This did happen, with Lance Hoyt, Low Ki, Rosa Mendes, and Doink attempting to form a revolution. One nice bit to come out of this was a two-week angle between Ki and Ted DiBiase, where Ki stole DiBiase's money, leading to a match that ended with Ki kicking the crap out of DiBiase. At the Royal Rumble, Regal announced an open forum on the next show, which went very well. Santino was established as pro-Regal, along with the Marella Clan, giving the revolution someone to feud with. But then for whatever reason, this wasn't followed up on and the angle started to lose steam, right before the next twist... It was announced that the WWE Board of Directors was to be visiting The Fight Club to evaluate Regal. But the day of the show, Regal was nowhere to be found! Now this is where people got confused and I don't blame them. The show was poorly planned, with me not informing people of what I wanted. TTS and I wrote some promos that were never finished to a power outage on his end. And the ending of the show, with Regal arriving just in time to see Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Board have a beer bash, was lost on... Well, everyone! So, what was supposed to happen was with Regal gone, there would be chaos in and out of the ring. The Board would get caught in a brawl between whoever and whoever, random shit would occur(that kinda DID go down, with the debuts of Wade Barrett and Justin Gabriel being very WTFish) Stone Cold's arrival was to reveal that he was behind all the shenanigans, including Regal being hijacked by Hoyt and Doink. So we trudged on, with Regal targeting Hoyt for ruining his evaluation. This led into one of my favorite shows of all time, as Regal became more and more unhinged as the night wore on, before giving himself a pinfall win over Hoyt, then booking himself against Bryan Danielson for the following week. Another gem from this episode involved Low Ki's 1-800-FUCK-M-UP hotline, as Matt Hardy hired Ki to get revenge on Regal for his suspension. The following week was intended to be another turning point. The show was built around a tournament to decide The Fight Club's final entrant into Money in the Bank. The Regal/Santino alliance was revisited, as Santino was clearly Regal's chosen one going in, receiving "easy" matches in the first two rounds, before meeting Lance Hoyt in the final. The Danielson/Regal match would also be crucial to the story's development. However, the show was a mess. Cageking and I set up the Low Ki/JTG match to become an FTW Championship match as well as a tournament match. Which was fine. But then Ray Geezy won. Which would have been fine, if Geezy wasn't already in Money in the Bank. Understandably, Hayden was pissed. If I were booking this today, here's how I would've handled the situation. Ki would've beat the hell out of Geezy and moved on to face Hoyt in the semifinals. Then we would've gone with Ki/Geezy at Mania for the title. But I didn't do that. And I apologize again to Hayden for that. So back to the show. In addition to that match, there was a promo that played into the main event that I forgot to post. It would've set the Pitbulls up as being in cahoots with Regal. So, Hoyt won the tournament, which worked fine. Going into the main event, here's how things stacked up: Pro-Regal: Santino, Jack Swagger, Ted DiBiase, Jamie Noble, Kidd Kash, Luke Plus, Ray Geezy, and Sheamus Anti-Regal: Lance Hoyt, Matt Hardy, Low Ki, JTG, Doink, Rosa Mendes, Shad Gaspard, and Goldust The main event is a clusterfuck if there ever was one. Interference by the Pitbulls seemingly gave Regal the win but... Actually, I'll just re-post the ending right now... OK, Stone Cold's involvement... It was meant to set the stage for a WrestleMania showdown between Regal's supporters and Mae's supporters. In this case, it likely would've been Ki, Hardy, Gold is the Word, JTG, and Doink vs. Santino, The Pitbulls, The Smooth Criminals, and Sheamus. And Austin would be the ref, with Geezy, Santino, and Regal all eating Stunners at the end. Why did this get nixed? It was too damn confusing. Up until that show, I had it all worked out and had even informed Hayden, Tank, H, TTS, Jono, Armbar, Cageking, and RKTaker of the plan. But it was around this time that tempers began to flair over Mania matches and it got to be too much. So the planned twelve man tag was reduced to Sheamus vs. JTG, in light of their feud being the best built and developed out of anything else in the angle. In the end, I'm glad I at least attempted such an ambitious angle. It did lead to some fun shows, despite the snags along the way. Next time... WHAT IF THE TWO CRAZIEST GIMMICKS OF THE DAY MET UP ONE ON ONE?! |

Holy crap. Now thats a clusterfuck. I don't even think the proposed 14 vs 14 man match would've been that bad. |

This next idea was for a post-SummerSlam 2009 feud.
Since the beginning of WCWWE, Mike Knox was one of the most over guys on the roster. Amigo's style of writing, just embracing the random, worked and the guy was on a roll. Won the Hardcore(Television) Title in January and held it until WrestleMania, then he won the IC Title at One Night Stand.
In July, a new Superstar burst onto the scene. This guy was brash. He was arrogant. He was a...
Sexual deviant?
Yes friends, I'm talking about Lance Hoyt, everyone's favorite nymphomaniac. Hoyt was undoubtedly TTS' greatest creation. Fresh off a great run in TNA, Hoyt was originally supposed to go to Raw. But a last minute change in plans meant that HoytaMania would be running wild on ECW instead.
Hoyt's first angle involved a best of five series with Steve Lewington, with a different Diva being on the line in each match. Meanwhile, Knox was in the midst of an angle where he was forced to undergo weekly therapy sessions.
I was looking to take advantage of the upcoming PPV schedule, which had a tri-brand PPV, an ECW-only PPV, and another tri-brand PPV, to set up a three month feud between the two. Fan Control would see the fans vote on what would be on the line(if Knox was still Champ, the title wouldn't be an option)
Badd Blood would be the second encounter(with the title on the line if Knox still had it) and would be a falls-count-anywhere in [insert wherever the PPV was held] match. Survivor Series would be the final match and contested inside a barbed wire steel cage.
Why would they feud? I don't know.
Because around the time I came up with the plan, Amigo had left to focus on WWCF. Within a month, he'd lost the IC title and been traded to Smackdown. It's too bad, because I think a feud between the two would've been amazing. The promos alone would've been pure (insane) gold.
Next time(tomorrow?): The first ECW One Night Stand or "Why I hated the 2009 draft!"

Would love to hear about 2009 draft, M. Yeah, that's coming. I need to reread the draft so I can figure out what matches fell apart when and who to pin the blame on(I know one of Bull's suggestions screwed things up big time) |

(NOTE: This will be a three-parter)
The WWE Draft. The yearly event where things are shaken up and we get fresh matches and feuds.
The WCWWE Draft. The yearly event where months of planning go down the tube thanks to random.org.
Yes, this post is about the draft, specifically the 2009 edition. Being the first event of it’s kind, obviously there were going to be some snafus. But this…
Yeah.
So here’s what was going on. WrestleMania had come and gone. And even though we had the draft, ECW was rolling towards it’s first PPV. And I was planning on delivering in a big way, with every match on the show being a gimmick match. The planned card:
Shawn Michaels to defend the WWE Championship against the winner of a tournament, to be held on the first post-draft ECW.
Tommy Dreamer and Mike Knox would conclude their Hardcore Championship feud with a Stretcher match.
Chavo Guerrero’s quest for redemption would continue with an I Quit match against Big Show.
Miz and Morrison would face their first serious challenge as ECW Tag Team Champions, defending against The Hollywood Blondes 3.0(Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger for you new guys) in either a cage match or a tables match.
Teresa Matheson and Tiffany would get their chance at the Women’s Championship against “Kerry” Dykstra. The two would meet in a strap match, with the winner then facing Dykstra in whichever match type wasn’t used for the tag titles.
Plus there was to be a blow off for the Hornswoggle/DH Smith/European Conquest feud, with Smith teaming with Goldust and The Boogeyman to face Finlay, DJ Gabriel, and Drew McIntyre in a triple dog collars match, with Swoggle handcuffed to Alicia Fox and Maria on the outside.
And there would have been a battle royal to compensate for anyone not on the card.
But before we could get to this point, we had to get through the draft.
It started early. At WrestleMania, Raw won a match that earned them a manual pick in the draft. Legion, the GM at the time, chose Big Show.
There goes one of the main events.
Our draft is contested on all three shows, with eighteen matches in total. This particular year, Raw went first…
The first draft pick saw Mickie James go to Smackdown, which had no bearing on the PPV, although another angle was in jeopardy(more on that in a future installment)
The next two picks were for ECW, with Tyson Kidd and Kelly Kelly moving to the Land of Extreme.
And nobody cared(a recurring problem with this draft)
The fourth pick was also for ECW, but unlike the first two, this one was actually a game changer.
Hurricane Helms. At the time, he was being written by newcomer Bring Back The Headbangers. And he was doing pretty well. So this was a welcomed addition.
But the theme of crappy picks would soon continue, with Sim Snuka moving to Raw and Lakisha Lin going to Smackdown. Aside from splitting up the comedy team I’d created with them and Ricky Ortiz, nothing of value was lost.
And that was night one.
If it ended there, I might not be making this post.
But as you’ll see in the next installment, it got worse…

So, night one of the draft has come and gone and while it was by no means great, it's not like any of the shows have taken a huge hit. So the second night was set to take place on Smackdown... Smackdown earned the first pick of the night, ECW's Mark Henry. A hit, but not a big one. He was non-taken at the time, so nothing was really messed up by this. ECW got the next pick, Low Ki. Understand that at the time, Low Ki was injured in real life and not expected back until the summer. And we had a rule at the time, that people injured for real were also injured here. And you can understand why he was considered a wasted pick. Smackdown earned the third pick and... It was The Boogeyman. Who had been released in real life. He was only still here by the tag-rule. Meaning when he was drafted, he was no longer tag-ruled. Meaning he was gone. So, we convinced AA to re-do the pick. The new pick was The Miz. So that's two PPV matches killed in one night, and three overall. ECW won the fourth pick. Santino Marella. Newly taken at the time, it was a good pick, but losing one half of my Tag Team Champs stung. Raw won the fifth pick. Tony Chimel. Obviously, this was re-done. Jim Ross. So after a THIRD selection, Raw got Rey Mysterio. The final pick of the night went to Raw. Ricky Ortiz. Cool Connection reunites, minus Lakisha Lin. So that was the second night. EXCEPT... Brahma Bull suggested AA give each brand one more pick, but only randomize the taken characters. The majority agreed. Raw received Natalya. Meh. Smackdown got... RANDY ORTON!!! Meaning all of SNS' picks were on Smackdown. ECW got Shad Gaspard. Not awful on it's own, but it would result in another loss for ECW later in the draft. So night two was a rough one. I was legitimately upset enough to leave at this point, but was talked into staying. And since I did, next time we will conclude our look at the first WCWWE Draft! |

AND NOW... THE EPIC LACKLUSTER CONCLUSION OF... THE 2009 WCWWE DRAFT!!!ECW. Night three. So far, ECW has lost half of their Tag Team Champions and three of it's PPV matches. I've been talked into staying. Let's see what the final night of random picks brings us... ECW wins the first pick... Michelle McCool. Moving on... ECW won the second pick as well... Paul Bearer. Who by the rules would immediately be released. Meaning a do-over... Katie Lea Burchill. Which actually turned out to be a good thing, but at the time, she was non-taken, so it sucked. Raw earned the third pick and received... Alicia Fox. Note the number of women drafted thus far. I must quote Madhack on this one: Thank you Madhack. Back to the draft. Raw won the fourth pick... KUNG FU KHALI!!! Yes, Khali teamed with Funaki as the Kung Fu Thrillas. Smackdown won the fifth pick of the night... Charlie Haas. Smackdown won the final pick of the Draft... Maria. That sucked. HOWEVER... We convinced AA to do a repeat of the previous night, with each brand receiving another pick, out of the taken characters. ECW got... Christian. OK, not bad. Can work with that. Raw got... Elijah Burke. Who was somehow still employed... And would be for another three months. Smackdown got... John Morrison. *Bangs head against wall* Yes folks, the ECW Tag Team Champs drafted on consecutive nights, leaving ECW with no Tag Team Champions, while two sets of titles were now present on Smackdown. So three PPV matches killed. But we ain't done yet kids! Because he had two guys on ECW, TTS requested Tommy Dreamer be moved to Raw. This meant ECW would lose the Hardcore Championship as well. So, Cody Rhodes and Jesse and Festus were moved to ECW to fill the Championship voids. In addition, Rey Mysterio was moved back, and the Hardyz were sent over, to give ECW some star power. So clearly, I was starting from scratch with this PPV. Hurricane Helms won the contenders tournament to face HBK for the WWE Championship. Mike Knox was granted a match with Rhodes for the Intercontinental title. The Hollywood Blondes and Cryme Tyme both challenged Jesse and Festus for the Extreme Tag Team Titles. The Women's Title match became a 4-way cage match, with Kelly Kelly added to the equation, and the rest of the card was two battle royals. But coming off a lackluster start, this roster actually became one of the best we've ever had. Sure, Smackdown had lots of big names(Cena, Triple H, Orton, Miz and Morrison, MVP, Punk, Mickie, Beth) and Raw was loaded with main eventers(Michaels, Undertaker, Jericho, JBL, Show), but ECW was the only brand that utilized everyone available, even the jobbers. I really don't mean to brag, but I'm extremely proud of what I was able to do with what I was given and I give credit where it's due to the writers. Helms and Chavo got main event pushes, Mysterio was reinvented as a SRS Jericho-esque heel. Katie Lea became the top Diva in the entire game. Ziggler and Swagger dominated the tag team scene. Low Ki and Lance Hoyt ended being extremely entertaining. The Smooth Criminals began during this time, Cody got a new lease on life, even perennial jobbers DJ Gabriel and Drew McIntyre got to succeed. I really don't think there's been a better roster since. Next time... What if Evil M HADN'T taken Triple H?! |

Past time to update...
To make up for nearly two weeks of no posting, I'm gonna do five throughout the evening, then one tomorrow and one Sunday.
To start off, following SummerSlam 2010, I was looking to drop Curt Hawkins, who I had only taken to further his feud with Randy Orton. Although I ended up taking William Regal after making Triple H the GM, this was not always the plan.
Some background...
If you've been paying attention, you know that NXT was being run by two GMs, William Regal and Mae Young. I felt that at this point, the show only needed one GM, so I was planning to dump Mae.
Enter Kane.
Kane was a unique case on NXT. He started strong as the number one contender to the WWE Championship, but Double H quickly got bored and moved on to MVP. But I kept Kane in the mix, using him as fodder for the not-quite-yet-Nexus stable, facing them with an assortment of partners. But there was a plan.
After yet another loss to Nexus, Kane would have been approached by William Regal, who would call him a failure.
Another important note: Regal was in a feud with Edge.
The next week, Regal would've been cornered by Edge, when Kane comes out. After teasing that he was there to help Edge, he would Chokeslam him and join forces with Regal. The next week, a match between Kane and Edge would've been set for Fan Control, with the GM job at stake. If Kane won, Regal is the GM, if Edge won, Mae's the GM.
Kane would've won that, ousting Mae, and the feud between Regal and Edge would continue, with Kane as Regal's bodyguard.
But, something else happened. PN was having trouble writing for Undertaker and was thinking about dropping him. But he had one idea. After a quick back and forth PM session, the deal was done: Kane would be sent to Raw for Triple H.
Which will allow us to segue into the alternate plan for the Triple H/McMahon feud, which I'll cover later this evening.

So, didn't get the other four posted last night. No matter.
So PN had expressed his desire to use The Brothers of Destruction. And as soon as I saw Triple H was available, the gears in my head started spinning.
So we arranged the trade and an anonymous GM began making decisions on NXT. At Fan Control, Triple H revealed himself as the new General Manager of NXT.
Now, we all know how he went on to feud with Vince McMahon and took over control of the company at WrestleMania. But originally, the plan was to unfold differently.
At first, Trips would be a very fan-friendly GM, giving deserving people opportunities, while putting the heels in their place. But at the Royal Rumble, things would change. You see, one of NXT's entrants would be kept a secret, with Triple H being the mystery man.
I'm not sure how far he would've made it, since that part of the angle never made it past the conception phase. But Trips would turn heel after this, with the revelation that he only took the GM job for the power and the further his own career. Vince would call him on this and strip him of his GM powers, temporarily taking control of the brand. Hunter would seek revenge and at No Way Out, he and Stephanie would attack Vince, alongside another heel, who was never determined.
Triple H and Stephanie would then explain that they were tired of waiting for Vince to die and that they wanted the company now. Randy Orton would have come to Vince's defense, along with Kelly Kelly, setting up a six person tag team match at WrestleMania, Vince, Orton, and Kelly vs. Triple H, Stephanie, and the heel who aided Triple H at No Way Out(probably still would've been Mahal or Miz)
The reasons it didn't go down this way are, for one, crazy Vince proved to be a fun character to write. Also, Stephanie became Isis' manager, which would've added another complication to the angle. And in the end, I think a face Triple H taking control of the company worked better than the hostile takeover idea I'd been planning at first.
Next time, we're gonna go back to my time as the Smackdown GM and my plans for the brand had I not switched with Bull.

What some of you newer folks may not know is that when WCWWE/WWE:FAN started, I was the Smackdown GM. It wasn't until the start of 2009 that I took over ECW, meaning that seven Smackdown's were held under my rule.
Going into the new year, I had been in contact with people and was attempting to get some stuff happening on the show.
For one thing, I had been building an Undertaker/Edge feud since Survivor Series and on my final show, I'd revealed that The Undertaker was in fact the man who had been attacking Edge and others at the end of every show. Jeff Hardy had also figured in, having been spared a beating at the end of one of the shows.
Another angle had been several people who were feuding with the United States Champion The Brian Kendrick. Colt Cabana had a running feud with TBK since the first show, while R-Truth and MVP became faces because of their rivalry with Kendrick. And The Great Khali attacked Kendrick after their team won the Survivor Series, thanks mostly to Khali. In addition, Kendrick had attacked Triple H at Survivor Series, kicking off their issue.
Kendrick also held the WWE Tag Team Championships with Ezekiel Jackson, and were very much in favor with Vickie Guerrero, the then-GM of the show. Cabana was teaming with Jimmy Wang Yang, while Truth and MVP were a team.
I was also slowly pushing Victoria, before her writer(who had done some awesome stuff with her and Santino) stopped participating.
Plus, there was a brand war going on between Smackdown and ECW, with Raw's Cryme Tyme helping to stir the pot.
I had a 3-month plan going towards WrestleMania.
At the Rumble, the winner of the United States title contenders tournament(Hurricane Helms, as it turned out) would face Kendrick, while Smackdown's nine Rumble entrants would be:
Undertaker
Edge
Hardy
Triple H
MVP
Truth
Khali
Cabana
Big Show
This would've allowed several angles to build for another month. At No Way Out, the following matches would've taken place:
Shawn Michaels(WWE Champion) vs. Winner of a fatal 4-way between Undertaker, Edge, Hardy, and Triple H
Depending on how that 4-way went, we might have seen Edge/Undertaker, Hardy/Edge, or a triple threat
Kendrick and Zeke would have been defending the Tag Team titles against MVP/Truth, YangBana, and Khali and whoever Doley chose to team him with(Had Triple H not won the 4-way, he'd have been Khali's partner)
Victoria would've gotten the Women's Title match to tie up that angle, while Natalya would be pushed as the new challenger(Since I got DanKirby promoing for Chavo, I probably could've gotten him to promo for Nattie too)
Now, keep in mind that at this point, I didn't know what AA had planned for the Vince storyline. Going into Mania, this WOULD have been the plan:
Hardy vs. Edge vs. Undertaker in some sort of match involving ladders, chairs, and caskets
Kendrick defending the US Title against MVP, Truth, Khali, Cabana, and Triple H in the Elimination Chamber(since Triple H ended up in the Vince angle, his spot in the Chamber might have gone to Helms)
Mr. Kennedy and Umaga would've represented Smackdown in Money in the Bank(yes Amigo, I was trying to push Youmanga!)
Natalya would've been Smackdown's rep for the Women's Title 4-way
The Cash in the Vault reps, I guess would've been The Bellas, Kelly, and McCool
And Big Show would've repped for Smackdown in the Battle for Brand Supremacy(although at one point, I'd wanted to make it Miz and Morrison vs. MVP and Truth vs. Cryme Tyme)
Not sure what would've happened afterwards, nor do I know if any of this would've gone over as well as my ECW run did.
And speaking of my ECW run, next time, I'll reveal my initial plans for the brand and for WrestleMania.

Well, I also had the crap idea of trying to have heel Mysterio and Khali as blackmailers and hidden camera people when the whole cult idea I had bombed. I had a lot of "scary" studio idents that Khali kept trying to show Mysterio and most of them got no reaction. Eventually, after Summerslam, I just said "Fuck it" and took Miz instead. Much better.
