Story Line / Angles / Feuds in your feds

[mdale2k]

Hey all....I thought it would be interesting or fun to post some story lines / angles you did in feds that you don't post or anything.

I'll post one

It's a Smackdown! only fed.
Roman Reigns was the World Champion and turned heel creating a stable called triumvirate with AOP (then later one left and Drew M came in).
Beat AJ Styles at wrestlemania and eventually entered into a program with Johnny Gargano who won a #1 contenders tournament.
He lost the first time due to outside interference.
Got a rematch but had to beat Akam and Drew on the same night as a PPV.
He lost again to Roman.
Got one last chance in a Iron Man Steel Cage Match. He won at the end.
After the match, Andrade cashed in the MITB ladder match to win the title. (Originally was to be Adam Cole but he got hurt)

Going back to my old TNA fed I posted here years ago, I started the story but never got to finish it. Actually, I don't think my posts even got to the beginning, but it was started in my sim.

It involved the Motor City Machine Guns and played off the reallife relationship at the time between Velvet Sky and Chris Sabin. With no history whatsoever, Sabin a face saves a heel/tweener Sky from getting squashed by Awesome Kong. The next week, somebody's in a falls count anywhere match, they're brawling in the back and break through a closet where Sabin and Sky are making out. This leads Alex Shelley, Sabin's partner, asking to get set up with Velvet's partner Madison Rayne. During the course of this, Sabin wins the X title, and soon after, Rayne convinces Shelley he would be a better X champ.

That's as far as I got simmed, but here were the plans:

Shelley and Rayne turn on Sabin and Sky and ends up winning the X title. They have a short feud with Shelley coming out on top. They go their separate ways for a while, but once Shelley loses the title, Rayne turns on him only for Sky to come for the save. This leads to Shelley having a change of heart. He calls Sabin to the ring during an interview and makes an impassioned speech, apologizing for the past and making a plea to team back up and go after the world titles they never won. Sabin accepts, they get back together and go on to win the world tag titles.

If anyone remembers the old SMWA from 20 years ago the star was a guy named Jack Slade. His backstory, IIRC, was that he'd been orphaned and grew up on the streets in Detroit. He attended a wrestling show and was mercilessly heckling a particular heel. The wrestler confronted Slade outside the arena and got his ass kicked, which drew the promoter's attention to Slade who then trained to become a wrestle an found a surrogate family.

The angle was going to go like this: Slade gets the championship and is seemingly on the top of the world. Then a masked guy calling himself Jack Slater shows up. He's got his eyes set on a title shot against Slade and does whatever it takes to get it. The match happens and Slater is just constantly one step ahead of Slade. He finally has the match seemingly won, but sadistically beats Slade within an inch of his life before finally getting the anti-climatic win. The crowd is stunned by what they've seen.

Slade is gone for awhile, while Slater gloats in his absence, claiming he studied Slade's matches intricately to ensure his victory. Slater is clearly obsessed. Finally, Slade returns and wants to know one thing: who is the man who gave him the worst beating of his entire life? Slater can't resist the chance to twist the knife and voluntarily unmasks. Slade looks as if he's seen a ghost and Slater reveals his identity: Rodney Tannin, the wrestler Slade beat up outside the arena years ago. The beating ruined Tannin's career - a career, he's convinced, would have seen him become a world champion. He's spent all these years waiting to get his revenge and now he has it.

Slade wants a rematch, Slater/Tannin tells him to pack sand. Slade starts training, working his way back up to get to the point where he can't be denied a rematch, whether Tannin wants to give him one or not. To play mindgames with Slade, Tannin brings in two lackeys: Mad Jack, a jobber Slade beat in his first ever match, and Bryan Slade. Bryan claims to be Jack's half-brother who was loved and spoiled by his biological parents, given all the material and emotional things as a child Jack never was. He was the child that was wanted; Jack was the child that was unwanted. Despite all the general assholery, Jack Slade beats Mad Jack then Bryan Slade. Then makes a well-timed distraction that causes Tannin to lose the championship on a fluke rollup. Tannin is livid and gives Slade a rematch. The big blowoff is an epic last man standing match, a vicious brawl all over the arena in which Slade emerges victorious.

I don't think I'll ever pick up where I left off with my WCW 1997 circuit (I do intend to continue my WCW 1993 circuit though) so I'll cover how the major angle there would have played out through 1998. After Hogan lost the tiled to Sting at Starrcade '97 and failed to regain it, his leadership was questioned by Savage leading to a match where Savage wins and the rest of the nWo abandons Hogan, who drops off TV for awhile. Savage also abandons the nWo, becoming a lone wolf heel. Bret Hart (leading The Hart Foundation with Neidhart and Davey Boy) teams up with Ric Flair (who has reformed The Horsemen with Benoit, Malenko, and Mongo) to take on the nWo. Sting shows up unannounced to warn Bret that he can't trust Flair. Bret tells Sting to mind his own business, so Sting (who had finally galvanized WCW to stand up to the nWo in a semi-organized manner) resumes being standoffish from everyone else.

The combined Horsemen/Harts team successfully defeats the nWo in a big PPV match, causing it to disband (although The Wolfpac remains as a three-man faction; Hogan eventually returns in red-and-yellow to feud with Hall and Nash). Bret then beats Sting for the WCW World Title. Flair wants a title shot and gets it. During their match, Flair keeps cheating more and more, finally beating Hart with his feet on the ropes. Hart confronts Flair about the cheating who admits to it without hesitation and resulting on Bret getting beaten down by the Horsemen. Flair declares the founding principle of the Horsemen is that there is nothing more important that Ric Flair being World Champion.

Horsemen vs Harts for War Games. Bret needs a 4th man and is approached by Chris Adams, who has quietly been having a solid midcard run all year, mostly on WCW Saturday Night. He admits his career is approaching its end and makes an impassioned plea to Bret for one last hurrah. The Hart Foundation wins War Games, but the Horsemen subsequently attack Chris Adams as revenge and kayfabe end his career.

Bret vs Flair in their final showdown at Starrcade '98 in a cage (to keep the Horsemen from interfering, like they have in the past). Bret wins.

The next night on Nitro, Benoit turns on Flair. This would lead to the formation of The Canadian Violence Connection (Benoit, Jericho, and Lance Storm) which would break up the Horsemen for the final time then feud with the Hart Foundation, resulting in Benoit or Jericho beating Bret for the World Title in 1999.

By the end of 1999 you would have Hogan and Flair retired (or at least done in WCW) and Bret winding down his career as well.

P.S. In the circuit Goldberg had been legitimately injured when his streak was only at I think 12-0. He was going to miss most of a year, massively setting his career back or perhaps derailing it entirely.

Man, SMWA and all of its offshoots were the best.

I had an offline fed that was a mix of SMWA guys and my own fantasy creations that picked up a little while after Kirk's fed ended. Jack Slade ended up being a monster heel and the first champion.
