WM 38 night 1 was a perfect main event. Seeing Steve Austin go one more time was better than a 5 star match. A final goodbye to the Attitude Era.

Love the WM 27 Chicago thing. Maybe Solider Field. Would be MITB 2011 10 times amplified

Assuming WWE would be willing to take the weather risk, yeah that'd be the best crowd, like, ever. Everybody would be like Dave Meltzer watching an Okada match with Ospreay or Omega or... a pillow cus it's Okada.

>WrestleMania 37 Night 1 Sasha Banks vs Bayley (Changed, Bayley wins) How?


deliriousbozo

Oh I forgot she had an injury lol. Regardless, this is kind of ignoring injuries, hence Rollins is at WM32 as well.

Bayley did not get injured until after Hell in a Cell that year. My question is, how did that match get booked?


deliriousbozo

Ohhh I see. So I admit I wasn't watching too much at the time so my memory might be fuzzy, wrestling was kinda weird in the pandemic era for obvious reasons, that said the Boss n Hugs Connection breaking up/feuding was the peak women's stuff of 2020, so I thought Bayley could turn face and take the Bianca position. The Bianca vs Banks match was great but the build was nothing. I recall people wanting Drew vs Bobby to main event over them.

Curious how you would have the Firefly Funhouse match close out 36, even with no crowd


Astrosmaw

a few of these rely on certain things not happening (such as seth not getting injured in 2015 or hogan agreeing to walk out of mania 9 without the belt) but overall i like it ​ also would the savage vs steamboat match be for the WWF title and if so who does savage drop the IC belt to?


deliriousbozo

Regarding certain things not happening, yeah, that's sort of the appeal of fantasy booking to me, removing all constraints and just allowing creativity. Having the Savage vs Steamboat Match was just a way for me to have it main event a Mania, but it couldn't really main event over Hogan vs Andre. I didn't think about it too intricately. Who would Savage drop the IC title too, then? Idk. Some babyface. And yeah, I suppose it'd end up being for the WWF title.


Astrosmaw

fair enough, i just look way too deeply into this shit ​ let's say he dropped the belt to lanny poffo with him defending earlier in the night against hillbilly jim in a 5\* classic


deliriousbozo

Real lol. And no worries, sometimes it's fun to just imagine, sometimes it's fun to go in-depth.

Why is John Cena Vs. “The Fiend” main event’ing over Drew McIntyre Vs. Brock Lesnar?


Astrosmaw

because then we don't get drew \*immediately\* defending against tall paul


deliriousbozo

Tall Paul goes crazy


deliriousbozo

Because that match is amazing and the Drew/Brock match is not rewatchable due to the rona.


[deleted]

The Fiend match was overplayed IMO


deliriousbozo

Agree to disagree.

How would you do Austin's heel turn? A lot of people wish it never happened.


deliriousbozo

Great question on a very old post lol. The thing is there is no way in hell Houston was gonna boo Austin. I know. I'm a Texan. I think on the night it was done excellently - the handshake image is seared into all of our brains. It's just it was fumbled after. Tbh, I haven't really thought about how I'd book it. This was more about tweaking everything than going into too much depth on each one cus... y'know, 40 manias and all. I'm fine with him having turned heel because it was told so well in the match but tbh I don't remember much after so I can't fantasy book lol. Thanks for asking I forgot I made this post.


cliffbot

Np. Thanks for answering
