Bump
Here's my angle to create a fresh direction for the WWE while using their growing popularity and incresing tours in Asia. Thsi angle incorporates Japanese talent into the WWE believably and in a way I feel the fans would respond to, if for the only reason that it would be something completely different.
Wrestlemania - HHH defeats Booker T (probably will happen anyway) by screwjob from all members of Evolution, and then goes on tour throughout Asia, including Japan.
Next Raw: Opens with Booker T doing a promo about being screwed out off the world title, and then HHH running off to Asia to avoid the consequences. HHH comes on live via satellite from Asia to run down Booker aand taalk about how great he is, as usual, and how he's a joke and now he's showing all of Asia that he truly is THE GAME, just like he showed Booker at Wrestlemania. Booker is then jumped by Orton, and after being beaten for a short while Hilks up and runs Orton to the back.
HHH says that he'll be popping in live via Satellite next week to talk aabout how great he is, and what a chump Booker is.
Following Raw: Show opens with a match and then cuts to Pat Patterson in the back talking to Vince McMahon. He talks about HHH being scheduled for a Satellite appearance but not having heard from him. McMahon says not to worry, and that HHH is probably just a little tired from the previous night's match in Japan.
Show continues with other angles and matches.
Cut to the back - Batista stares down Booker talking about that if he was tough enough to beat down Orton, maybe he thiks he's man enough to beat him. Booker accepts, saying he'll just imagine Batista is HHH and thats all the motivation he needs.
Camera moves back to McMahon. Patterson runs into the frame breathing heavily. Vince asks him whats happening. Patterson says he just got word that something huge happened in Japan the previous night, but he doesn't know exactly what happened. He says there's a tape coming from Japan and it should be there by the end of the show. Mcmahon looks a little worried, but too much. he tells Patterson not to worry about it, and says "whats the worst that could have happened?"
Booker T vs. Batista - The main event. A long grueling match, with multiple interference on the behalf of Flair and Orton, but Booker comee out on top and runs the rest to the back. Booker gets on the mic and starts yelling aat the Titan Tron, asking where HHH is with his smart comments now?
Hit Vinnie Macs music. Vince comes out to the ring with Bischoff telling Booer that they have just recieved the tape, and have heard that it explains why HHH hasn't been available to be contacted. He then says that they'll view the tape after the show, as the crowd doesn't need to see the footage until he's seen it first, nor do they deserve to.
Booker t asks why he doesn't show the tape now, so that all the fans can see it to. Mcmahon says the fans don't deserve to see it unless he thinks they should.
*crowd starts getting on him, calling him an "a**hole" as ususal"
McMahon gets irate and says he'll sshow the taape as long it'll shut everyone up.
ROLL TAPE:
HHH just pins Tajiri by cheating unecessarily (he gets a lot of main events in Asia, for obvious reasons) and then gets on the mic and starts running down Japan and the Japanese people. The crowd is booing him and he just rips into them more.
Out comes All Japan Triple Crown Champion Keiji Mutoh (aka The Great Muta) to a MASSIVE pop (mainly "oooohs" in Japan), with full robe and wrestling gear on. he is accompanied by a small entorage including a translator.
Cut to Vince in the ring with a slightly worried look on his face. Booker is smiling.
Mutoh gets nose to nose with HHH (perfect dramatic moment and time for Japanese picture taking) and then grabs the mic. Mutoh starts screaming at him in Japanese (which sounds incredibly cool, by the way). The jist of which is Mutoh defending the honor of his people and country. He asks if HHH is The Game, why does he have to cheat to beat a man half his size. If HHH is the game, why did he run away to Asia to get away from Booker T. If HHH is the game, why won't he defend his title against a non-WWE opponent?
HHH grabs the mic back and says he is the game, and that he'll defend his title against anyone at anytime, as long as he thinks they're worthy.
Mutoh says that he's the Champion of the greatest wrestling organization in Japan, so why doesn't he prove he's the gaame and play him, or does he have to run it through his girlfriend first so she can ask her daddy?
HHH flips out and says he'll wrestle Mutoh anytime, anywhere. Mutoh says to wrestle him now, with both titles on the line, and starts motioning towards both their belts. HHH says "you're on", and jumps Mutoh, hitting him with the title bell and motions for the ref to ring the bell. Mutoh blades huge and is bleeding all over the place.
Cut to Vince, who is flipping out a little. Patterson and Brisco run out along with the rest of the agents. They are all asking what the hell is going on.
HHH is beating down Mutoh, the crowd is going nuts, in their own Japanese way, and HHH continually taunts the crowd asking if this is the best Japan has to offer. This goes on for about 5 minutes.
Then when HHH turns back from the crowd after berating them, Mutoh pops up and hits him with the Shining Wizard (Mutohs finisher, much stiffer than Helms' one) and then collapses. Both men down.
Cut to the back, wrestlers are crowding around the monitor to watch.
Now the match is back and forth, with Mutoh slowly getting the upper hand. Mutoh rib breaker and then hits his signature moonsault. Close 2 count. Mutoh goes for another shining wizard, HHH ducks and hits him with a pedigree. 2 count. HHH a little pissed, hits Mutoh with another pedigree... 1...2... kick out just before 3. HHH is flipping out now, and grabbing the ref, throwing him aroundkicking the ring ropes, etc, giving Mutoh valuable time.
Cut to the ring, Vince and the rest are obvious very worried. Cut to the back, the other wrestlers are going nuts.
HHH comes back and sets Mutoh up for a third pedigree, but Mutoh back drops out of it, and nails HHH with a Shining Wizard as he gets up, waits, and then hits HHH with another. Cover... 1...2... KICK OUT! Mutoh, exhausted rolls off and slowly gets up, waiting for HHH to get to one knee... Mutoh hits ANOTHER Shing Wizard. 1........2........3!!! You have a new WWE World Champion!.
The wrestlers in the back are dumbfounded, muttering to each other about whats going to happen now. Funaki is there going crazy, until all the other wrestlers stare at him, and he slowly leaves. The crowd is going nuts and Vince and the rst are going nuts in the ring, freaking out completely. End of show.
I'll be back with the next episode of Raw and the reasons for why I think this angle would go over huge even with non-japanese wrestling fans.
