Ring Rust Radio's WWE, TNA and ROH PG Era 2006-10 Draft Results & Fantasy Cards

The time period from 2006 through 2010 was a transitional period in wrestling, but the landscape was stacked with the talent, which makes it a perfect fit for Ring Rust Radio's latest fantasy draft.

RRR has held several drafts over the past few years, but this one focuses on what has been dubbed the PG Era. The show's three panelists and a special guest recently held a 26-round, serpentine draft in which only wrestlers active from 2006 through 2010 could be selected. Since the conclusion of the draft, the four participants have constructed their best possible fantasy cards.

Bleacher Report readers and Ring Rust Radio listeners will have four cards to choose from, and a winner will ultimately be determined by popular vote. It is important to remember, though, that the cards should be judged based upon the wrestlers' statuses from 2006 through 2010 rather than what they accomplished afterward.

Tag Team Title No. 1 Contender Match: World’s Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas) vs. Trevor Murdoch and Lance Cade

Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin have been on the hunt for the tag team titles but have been consistently hounded by Trevor Murdoch and Lance Cade, who are looking to make a name for themselves in the division by knocking off the World’s Greatest Tag Team.

They finally settle their differences in this physical contest, with the WGTT picking up the win and the No. 1 contendership.

Technical Wrestling Showdown: Mike Quackenbush vs. Norman Smiley

For weeks, Mike Quackenbush and Norman Smiley had been ribbing each other about who was the better technical wrestler. Eventually the good-natured joking turned serious, and now two of the best technical wrestlers ever face off for the first time.

Both well versed in chain wrestling and lucha libre, Smiley and Quack put on a fast-paced clinic, ending with Quack setting up for the Quackendriver, but Smiley wiggled out of it and locked in the cross face chicken wing for the win.

United States Championship Gauntlet Match: Jerry Lynn (c) vs. Brodie Lee vs. Nigel McGuiness vs. Masato Tanaka vs. Umaga

Several Superstars have been gunning for Jerry Lynn’s United States Championship. The decision was made for him to defend it against five others—but in a gauntlet match where he was forced to start at No. 1. Lynn surprised Brodie Lee early with a roll up but took punishment from Lee after the quick defeat.

His bout against Nigel McGuinness was a much tougher contest, but Lynn managed to win with a cradle piledriver. Having to face a bruiser like Masato Tanaka next, Lynn was on the defense for most of the contest, kicking out of many near falls but ultimately surprising Tanaka with a cradle piledriver for the win.

His final opponent, Umaga, was too much for Lynn to overcome after three grueling bouts, and Umaga became the new United States Champion.

Necro Butcher and Sheamus vs. Mitsuhara Misawa and KENTA

These teams were originally in the hunt for the tag team titles but became more invested in finding out who are the toughest guys in WWE. Necro Butcher and Sheamus, known for their toughness and love of a good fight, found the same attitude in KENTA and Misawa’s strong-style wrestling. They have been beating the hell out of each other for weeks.

With Misawa and Sheamus trading blows on the outside, KENTA uses his expertly placed kicks to pick apart Necro Butcher in the ring, ultimately knocking him out with a head kick for the pin. After the match, Necro and Sheamus get into an argument and start brawling, needing several refs to separate them.

Goldust vs. Delirious

Goldust and Delirious are two of the most outlandish and weird personalities on Smackdown. Bringing the mood back up after the all-out war in the previous bout, this match starts with the two trying to out-do the other with who can act more strangely before engaging in an actual wrestling match.

Goldust distracts the ref, hitting Delirious with the Shattered Dreams to win.

Rey Mysterio vs. PAC

When PAC came into the WWE, he looked up to Rey Mysterio as a mentor, and the two quickly became friends. But as time went on, Rey saw the potential PAC had to replace him as the premier high-flyer in WWE and began to sabotage his career. T

he match between these former friends starts quickly and never slows down. It seemed that PAC might pick up the win, but Mysterio avoided the Red Arrow and grabbed the tights as he rolled up PAC for the win.

Tag Team Championship Match: Triple H and Batista (c) vs The Kings of Wrestling (Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero)

The Kings of Wrestling, Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli, began making waves as soon as they entered the WWE. With their sights set on tag team gold, they quickly established themselves as top contenders. But the former members of Evolution and current champs Triple H and Batista weren’t about to give up the gold to the upstarts so easily.

Triple H and Batista attack Claudio before the match starts, forcing Hero to fight the champs on his own for the early stages of the match. But once Claudio returns, the Kings begin to mount a comeback. Feeling the momentum shift, Triple H grabs a chair on the outside but is booted in the face by Hero, dazing him.

In the ring, Claudio nails Batista with several European uppercuts, and Hero delivers a final roaring elbow, knocking out Batista and allowing the Kings of Wrestling to become the new tag team champions.

Grudge Match: JBL vs. El Generico

As soon as El Generico entered the WWE, he was an instant fan favorite. His upbeat charisma and never-give-up attitude endeared him to the WWE Universe.

But Generico’s sudden success rubbed some people the wrong way—none more so than JBL, who began attacking Generico in the locker room and distracting him during matches causing several losses.

Now that Generico could finally get his hands on JBL in the ring, his attitude was much more serious. But JBL’s size and strength was too much for the generic luchadore. Generico was almost able to hit the top-rope brainbuster, but JBL freed himself. When Generico turned around, JBL leveled him with a Clothesline From Hell for the win.

World Heavyweight Championship Triple Threat: Chris Benoit (c) vs. CM Punk vs. Tyler Black

Despite his workmanlike style and stoic demeanor, no one had been able to unseat Chris Benoit for the championship. With CM Punk’s longstanding claims of being “the best in the world” and several impressive wins, he’s earned a shot at the champ.

Tyler Black, on the other hand, only recently hit the scene and immediately began hounding CM Punk and Chris Benoit, being made a part of this match if only so Benoit and Punk could get their hands on him. After Black hit Benoit with a bucklebomb followed by a super kick, Punk surprised Black, picking him up for the GTS and pinning him to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.

Brandon Galvin—ROH

ROH World Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contendership	Tag Team Match	Finlay and Wade Barrett vs. Mark Henry and R-Truth	Finlay & Barrett

ROH Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contendership: Finlay and Wade Barrett vs. Mark Henry and R-Truth

Each match at the ROH Anniversary show has much at stake, and the opener kicks things off with a shot at the ROH Tag Team Championship on the line. All four men here are some of the more underrated and overlooked performers at one point in time, so they have much to prove. This would certainly be a hard-hitting contest with R-Truth adding some flair with a few high-risk spots as well.

In the end, Finlay and Barrett win after Finlay hits Truth with his shillelagh.

ROH Pure Championship: MVP vs. Mr. Kennedy

During this time period, it would be difficult to find many more wrestlers in the world with more upside than MVP and Kennedy. Both had great gimmicks, were able to go in the ring and on the mic. This rivalry would provide entertaining promos, but the in-ring work would have he chance to rival most matches on any card. Fans already know they have great chemistry, and their styles would mix well.

MVP ultimately wins to capture the vacant ROH Pure Championship.

ROH World Television Championship Ladder Match: Christian vs. Matt Hardy

Christian and Matt Hardy are synonymous with ladder matches and daredevil stunts, so it only makes sense their rivalry would culminate in a ladder match.

These veterans always know how to push the envelope, which would be no different in this match. They already know each other's skill sets, which would provide for an interesting dynamic as each man would have to try to catch the other off guard.

Christian knocks out Hardy after a one-man conchairto before climbing to the top.  

ROH World Tag Team Championship: The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) (c) vs. Latin American Xchange (Hernandez and Homicide)

Easily two of the top tag teams in the world during this time period, but also two of the most no-nonsense tag teams as well.

The Briscoes, however, have possibly better chemistry than any other tag team in the world right now. They would squeeze by in an even matchup to retain their championship but are attacked after the match by LAX. Finlay and Barrett come out to attack LAX and end the segment by further beating down The Briscoes to set up an intense three-way feud for the Tag Team Championships at the next show. 

10-Man Tag Team Elimination Match: ECW (Raven, Rhino, Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman and Brother Runt) vs. Ring of Honor (Austin Aries, Christopher Daniels, Kazarian, Jon Moxley and Colt Cabana)

A major rivalry heading into the ROH Anniversary Show is that of ECW's invasion of ROH. Ideologies are on the line in this matchup as each group looks to reign supreme. Will it be hardcore or pure wrestling that rules ROH moving forward?

This is just the first match to determine the true answer to that question.

Unfortunately for ECW, this match is by Team ROH's rules, meaning weapons are not allowed. The ROH squad not only has improved stamina compared to their ROH foes, but their fight to keep the sanctity of ROH proved to be too great for ECW. ROH wins this matchup under their own rules when Aries outlasts Raven.

However, they have not yet secured the rights to contain the ECW invasion, as that match is up next.

Fight Without Honor for the Control of ROH: Rob Van Dam vs. Shane McMahon

The first of three main event matches on the card, this match will prove to be the true answer to the above question. McMahon had gained control of Ring of Honor and despite his reputation for high-risk spots, was looking to provide fans with a true alternative.

That was until Rob Van Dam led an ECW invasion of the company and looked to changed everything ROH stood for. Not only did this create a divide within ROH's fan base, but it set up this dream match between two of the most insane performers in mainstream wrestling. 

After a brutal match that featured blood, barbed wire, thumbtacks and glass, Rob Van Dam destroyed McMahon through a glass table to pick up the victory and control of ROH. Despite losing earlier, RVD's ECW teammates came out to congratulate him, while the ROH team carried their fallen leader to the back for medical attention.

ROH World Championship No. 1 Contendership: Chris Jericho vs. John Cena

Jericho and Cena have a storied past, and their rivalry continues in ROH. Both men are looking to race to the top of the ROH mountain, and the winner will have an opportunity to wrestle the winner of the main event at the next event.

These two always had great chemistry in the ring and on the mic, which made for many heated personal exchanges leading up to the match. Both viciously attacked each other on the mic heading into the match but had yet to be physical, so fans were patiently waiting.

As many would expect, this turned out to be a great back-and-forth match, which Jericho wins after Cena taps out to the Walls of Jericho. 

ROH World Championship vs. Career Submission Match: Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Ric Flair

A dream match for many fans, Bryan and Flair represent two of the best pure wrestlers of their respective eras. Flair came to Ring of Honor for the sole purpose to prove that he is still the man and set his sights on beating Bryan, who had now been perceived as being "the man" by fans across the world.

In order to persuade Bryan to give him a shot at the championship, he decided to put his career on the line. However, Bryan would take it one step further by demanding it also be a submission match so that nothing "funny" could happen, given Flair's reputation for being the dirtiest player in the game.

Although Flair would have his opportunity late in the match by locking Bryan in the Figure Four, Bryan managed to reach the ropes to break the hold. As Flair attempts to drag Bryan toward the ring post to lock in the Figure Four on the post, Bryan caught Flair in the LeBell Lock and forced the living legend to tap out.

After a handshake and hug, Bryan left Flair crying in the middle of the ring to a standing ovation to close the show.

Fatal 4-Way Ultimate-X X-Division Championship Match: Low Ki (c) vs. Ricochet vs. John Morrison with Melina vs. Adam Cole

One of TNA’s main hallmarks since its inception has been the X-Division, which is why it is only fitting for Bound For Glory to begin with an exciting Fatal 4-Way Ultimate-X match for the X-Division Championship.

TNA stalwart Low Ki enters the match as the incumbent champion, but he has no shortage of competition to contend with in the form of Ricochet, John Morrison and Adam Cole, who were all viewed as fast-rising stars during this time period.

Every successful pay-per-view needs a strong opener to get the crowd riled up, and this bout certainly succeeds in that regard. After Low Ki and Ricochet hit Cole with double stomps from the top rope simultaneously, Morrison opportunistically cleans up the scraps by taking out Low Ki and Ricochet with a double knee before scaling the wire and retrieving the X-Division title.

No. 1 Contender’s Tag Team Match: The American Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) vs. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey) with Tamina

TNA’s tag team division is as stacked as they come, and that is clear based on the strength of the second match on the card. In this encounter, The American Wolves and The Usos will do battle in a tag tilt to determine which team will vie for the TNA Tag Team Championships at a later date.

This is a true dream match featuring two duos that have never crossed paths before. It may seem as though Jimmy and Jey Uso have the advantage since they’re brothers, but Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards work as well together as any siblings ever could.

Due to a great combination of aerial maneuvers as well as savvy double-team tactics, the fans can’t help but show their respect for both teams. In the end, though, The American Wolves come out on top after Jey misses a top-rope splash. Richards and Edwards capitalize with the Force of Nature powerbomb into a backstabber, which establishes them as the top contenders for the tag straps.

Fatal 4-Way Knockouts Championship Match: Awesome Kong (c) vs. Michelle McCool with Teacher’s Pets (Idol Stevens and KC James) vs. Melina vs. Tamina

Aside from the X-Division, another factor that made TNA a strong alternative during this time period was its focus on women’s wrestling. Because of that, the ladies receive a chance to shine on this card in the form of a Fatal 4-Way match for the Knockouts Championship.

Awesome Kong enters the bout as the seemingly unstoppable titleholder, but the odds are stacked against her due to a pact made between Michelle McCool, Melina and Tamina to prevent her from retaining. The early portion of the match plays up to that angle as Kong struggles to overcome the numbers game. Inevitably, the other three Knockouts have conflicts of their own, though, which allows Kong to get back into it.

As Kong starts to dominate, McCool summons Idol Stevens and KC James of The Teacher’s Pets, but Kong incredibly lays them out with a double chokeslam. After tossing both Melina and Tamina out of the ring, Kong then finishes McCool off with the Implant Buster to retain the title despite the chips clearly being stacked against her.

Basic Tag Team Match: The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) wit Sean Waltman vs. Legacy (Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase)

One of the main, overarching storylines of Bound For Glory is the rivalry between the reformed New World Order and Legacy. While Hulk Hogan and Randy Orton will do battle for supremacy later in the night, this match will pit the veteran tag team of Kevin Nash and Scott Hall against up-and-comers Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase.

The Outsiders are supposed to be escorted by Sean Waltman, but he is nowhere to be found. Nash and Hall cut a promo about Waltman’s absence prior to the match and claim they have no idea where he went. The match goes on as scheduled, and The Outsiders are largely dominant due to their advantage in terms of both size and experience.

Just when it looks like Nash and Hall are on the verge of victory, Orton appears on the big screen. He tells The Outsiders that he has a gift for them and then proceeds to punt Waltman in the skull backstage. With Nash and Hall distracted and shocked by Orton’s actions, Legacy takes advantage as Rhodes rolls up Hall to win the match and strike the first blow against the nWo.

I Quit Match: Kevin Steen vs. Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe claims to be the baddest wrestler in TNA, and while that had always been the case previously, newcomer Kevin Steen steps up to prove that he can be beaten. Joe accepts his challenge on the condition that they lock horns in an I Quit match.

As The Samoan Submission Machine, Joe feels as though he has the advantage entering the contest. Steen is adept at submission maneuvers in his own right, though, which makes for a match that is equal parts technical and vicious.

Steen surprises both Joe and the crowd with his grappling by locking in both a Crossface and the Sharpshooter over the course of the match. Samoa Joe is seemingly on the verge of giving up on a couple occasions, but he resists the urge and finds a way out of the holds.

With Steen getting the better of him, Joe decides to get creative. Rather than applying the normal version of the Coquina Clutch, he modifies it by using a kendo stick to pull back on Steen’s face. The big Canadian holds on for as long as he can, but as he is on the verge of passing out, he finally gives up and succumbs to The Samoan Submission Machine.

Triple Threat TLC Tag Team Championship Match: Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) (c) vs. Paul London & Brian Kendrick vs. Beer Money (Robert Roode and James Storm)

In what could arguably be the most exciting match of the night, the Motor City Machine Guns put their TNA World Tag Team Championships on the line against the team of Paul London and Brian Kendrick as well as Beer Money in a Triple Threat TLC match.

TLC was made famous by the Hardys, Dudleys and Edge and Christian. While this particular match may not boast equal star power, all three teams have been hugely successful, and they would undoubtedly thrive in this type of environment.

Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, London and Kendrick bring the high-flying excitement, while the likes of Robert Roode and James Storm are adept at making use of weaponry such as tables, ladders and chairs.

The three teams throw everything they have at each other throughout the match, and it comes down to an extremely memorable spot at the end. With the Motor City Machine Guns, London and Kendrick battling on two ladders positioned side-by-side in the middle of the ring, Roode and Storm proceed to push them over, which sends the opposition through a tower of tables constructed outside the ring.

That allows Beer Money to scale the ladder unopposed and grab the titles to become the new TNA World Tag Team champions.

Career-Threatening No Holds Barred Match: “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Orton

Following Orton’s actions earlier in the night, emotions are running high when “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan and The Viper meet in what could be the final match of The Hulkster’s illustrious career.

In order to get a No Holds Barred stipulation for the bout, Hogan agreed to put his career on the line. Legacy have made it their mission to drive the New World Order out of TNA, and that opportunity is very much on the table for Orton in the first of three main events.

Hogan comes out firing early as he looks to avenge Waltman’s fate at the hands of Orton. With the leader of Legacy getting beaten from pillar to post, Rhodes and DiBiase make their way to the ring. They are able to triple-team Hogan for a short period of time, but Nash and Hall eventually run out to even the odds.

After Rhodes and DiBiase are given the Jackknife Powerbomb and Outsiders’ Edge in stereo onto some tacks, the nWo have Orton right where they want him.

With Nash and Hall holding Orton down on a table, Hogan shockingly ascends to the send rope and delivers the coup de grace in the form of a leg drop through the table. That gives Hulkster the victory, preserves his career and proves that the New World Order is still the dominant force in professional wrestling.

Television Championship Match: AJ Styles (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler

As the unquestioned face of TNA during this time period, it is certainly fitting for AJ Styles to be placed high up on the card. The Phenomenal One has locked horns with many of the world’s best in-ring performers over the years, but that list did not include Dolph Ziggler until now.

With the Television Championship and one of the top spots in the company on the line, both Styles and Ziggler throw everything they have at one another in this battle. While there have been plenty of hardcore slugfests throughout the card, this match is all about determining who is the best pure wrestler on the roster.

The two stars match Super Kick for Pele Kick and Figure Four Leglock for Sleeper Hold, but they can’t figure out how to put the opposition away.

That leads Styles to take drastic measures as he attempts to hit the Styles Clash on Ziggler from the second rope. Just when it looks like he is about to retain his title, though, Ziggler reverses it into a Hurricanrana.

Just when Styles staggers to his feet, Ziggler strikes with the Zig-Zag and pins Styles to win the TV title despite entering the contest as a decided underdog.

Hell in a Cell TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match: Kurt Angle (c) vs. The Undertaker

In the main event of Bound For Glory, Kurt Angle defends both the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and the honor of the company against The Undertaker. Angle quickly became the face of TNA when he made the leap from WWE, but Taker has been sent to punish Angle for jumping ship.

The Undertaker is perhaps the greatest challenge of the Olympic gold medalist’s professional wrestling career, and that is enhanced by the fact that this contest will take place within the confines of Hell in a Cell.

The Phenom is very much at home inside the steel structure, and that allows him to gain the early advantage over the champion. Taker uses the cage to his advantage on several occasions by throwing Angle into it and weakening the titleholder in the process. With The Undertaker in firm control of the match, things start to look dire for Angle.

As he has so often done over the years, though, he finds a way to get back in the match through resourcefulness. As The Undertaker scales the ropes and prepares for a flying clothesline, Angle cuts him off at the pass and hits him with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex off the ropes and onto a pile of steel chairs.

Taker eventually recovers and goes for a Tombstone on the steel steps, but Angle slips away and nails an Angle Slam on the stairs instead. The Undertaker is unable to kick out, and Angle proves his worth by retaining the title and defeating The Deadman to close one of the biggest events of all time.

Eddie Guerrero Memorial Elimination Chamber Pre-Show Match: Kane vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Scott Steiner vs. Sabu vs. The Miz vs. Bobby Lashley

My pre-show match is not a throwaway like many other PPVs.

With six competitors entering the Eddie Guerrero Memorial Elimination Chamber, the WWE Universe will be treated to an incredible event. The winner of the match would earn a future title shot of his choosing. The bout would be filled with entertaining spots and hardcore elements, but it comes down to the final two: Bobby Lashley and Alberto Del Rio.

After reversing one of Del Rio’s armbreaker submission moves, Lashley would gain momentum and hit his challenger with the spear through a chamber, collecting the pin in one of the pods. What a way to build excitement before the PPV even begins.

Cruiserweight Championship Match: William Regal (c) vs. Jushin Thunder Liger

My card needed an incredible opening match that would instantly capture the attention of the rowdy fans in attendance. With William Regal and Jushin Thunder Liger considered two of the best technical wrestlers in the world, the in-ring competition would be incredible. Regal would be acting as the heel champion in this match, but it would be Liger who steals the show and the Cruiserweight Championship with a Liger Bomb.

45-Minute Iron Man Match: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi

This match is for true wrestling fans. Shinsuke Nakamura and Hiroshi Tanahashi are two of the biggest stars in New Japan Pro Wrestling history, and they would go to battle in a special one-off match for the American fans.

The bout would start off with a sign of respect, but the notoriously stiff Nakamura would begin to anger Tanahashi with his heavy strikes. The animosity would grow throughout the 45-minute time period, but it would be Nakamura that capitalizes on an error made by the overly aggressive Tanahashi in the waning moments of the match.

The two would shake hands at the conclusion of the match, but the situation would be much tenser than it was at the start.

Women's Championship Triple Threat (with Joey Ryan as special guest referee) Lita (c) vs. Natalya vs. Torrie Wilson w/ Carlito

My promotion definitely #GivesDivasAChance. This is a two-part elimination match that consists of a funny segment and an ultra-serious showdown between great athletes. With the creepy Joey Ryan as special guest referee, the bout would start off lighthearted.

After getting too close to Torrie Wilson, her manager, Carlito, would attack Ryan, forcing a new referee to disqualify Wilson and take over for Ryan for the remainder of the bout. That would leave Lita and Natalya to fight for the Women's Championship.

With both women showcasing just how skilled they are in the ring, the less experienced Natalya would make an error and the champion Lita would successfully retain the title. After a post-match show of respect, Natalya hits Lita from behind and sets up the one-on-one feud moving forward.

WWE Tag Team Championship Gauntlet Match

The tag team division in my company is stacked. With so many viable teams vying for the championships, the only solution is a gauntlet match.

The defending champions, Team 3D (Brother Devon and Brother Ray), would first square off against Air Boom (Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne). After disposing of Air Boom, Team 3D would then beat the Hart Dynasty (Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith), followed by the Voodoo Kin Mafia (Kip James and BG James).

Just as it looks like Team 3D is on its way to a successful title defense, the young duo of Generation Me (Jeremy & Max Buck) hit the ring. With the champions tired from a long match, the Bucks would throw a Super kick Party and amass a clean pin over the Dudleys to win the titles.

Hardcore Retirement Match: Mick Foley vs. Terry Funk

In what will undoubtedly be the most violent match of the night, Mick Foley would take on the man who helped teach him about the wrestling business, Terry Funk, in a hardcore retirement match. Foley has been pleading with Funk to hang it up for years, but Funk attacks Foley and sets the retirement stipulation.

With the loser of the match being forced to walk away from wrestling, Foley agrees with the hope of ending his friend’s career once and for all. The two hardcore icons go to battle in a bloodbath, but Foley eventually hits his DDT on Funk to mercifully end the match and his career. The two men share a tearful embrace and Foley leaves the ring. Funk is given a standing ovation, and he walks out of the ring for the last time.

Intercontinental Championship Match: Jeff Hardy (c) vs. Booker T with Sharmell

Wrestling fans are always complaining about the legitimacy of secondary titles, and my company takes that very serious. Hardy is the defending intercontinental champion and one of the biggest stars in the sport. He has been reigning champion for months and has helped bring prestige back to the belt.

One wrestler looking to get his hands on the IC title is Booker T. As a veteran and a former world champion himself, the battle between Booker T and Hardy would be one of the most anticipated on the card. Even with interference from his wife, Sharmell, it’s not enough for Booker T to gain the victory, and Hardy’s run as champion would continue.

Sting vs. Vince McMahon

The current WWE storyline between Sting and Triple H is the exact same angle my company would use as well. Instead of Triple H representing The Authority, it would be the true owner of WWE, Vince McMahon.

Sting was outspoken about signing with the WWE after the mistreatment of several top WCW talents, including in this interview with the Daily Star, and now he would get the chance to come face-to-face with the man who put WCW out of business. Sting is finally ready to sign with WWE, but McMahon doesn’t want him on the roster.

Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and the board of directors want Sting to sign, but Vince would not allow it unless Sting beats him in a street fight. As a throwback to the Attitude Era, McMahon and Sting would square off for a contract with the company.

After a brutal battle, Sting would finally hit the Scorpion Death Drop on the Chairman of the WWE and earn his way onto the roster. McMahon and The Authority would be a consistent rival of Sting’s for the entirety of his run with my company.

WWE Championship Match: Shawn Michaels (c) vs. Edge

As one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, Shawn Michaels has been the face of the franchise for more than a decade. His current run with the title has been one of his longest, but he would take on Royal Rumble winner Edge for the WWE Championship. Both men are faces coming into the battle, but it is clear that neither man would accept a loss in the main event.

The tension between the two builds fast, and they are constantly being separated by referees and officials during the build to the match. With Edge being deemed one of the cornerstones of the company moving forward, the two men would put on a five-star match. In the ultimate show of respect, HBK would take the spear and the loss, cementing Edge’s spot as one of Raw's most valuable stars.

The two men shake hands following the match, and Michaels raises Edge’s hand as a way to pass the torch to the next generation. The two men would go on to feud throughout the next year as well.
