I just ran a ppv and things went . . . just a bit off the rails. I'm trying to keep a set of minor storylines going until the next HOF set comes out, but I'm kind of stuck.
First the Briscos defended the tag titles against the Vachons. A week ago, Jack and Butcher got into a pre-match brawler, and their one-on-one match got cancelled (Gordon Solie's card). Now Jerry performed a post-match assault on Mad Dog, putting him out of action for 5 cards. So, the babyface beat the tar out of the heel. And since Teddy Long doesn't have a suspension option on his card, a match was set up for next week. Don't know how though since MD is out of action.
Second, rod Fenton won my 30 man Blood Rumble to get a shot at the World Title. Nothing strange there except Fenton was one heck of an underdog going in and he'll be one again when he challenges.
This brings me to the World Title Match, with Jim Londos (who is in a stable with the Briscos) defending against Tursas. For months (yes, months) Tursas has tormented the fans and assaulted Londos from behind, usually as a ringside companion to his buddies, Kobald and the Batiri. Londos beat him by DQ the first time before offering him a rematch, stating he's going to show the fans, especially the children, that they don't have to fear the monsters of the world. Afterwards, it was supposed to be revealed that Londos set this feud up deliberately to pad out his title reign with easy title defenses, thus turning him heel. He even made the match under Vintage Match Rules, which means higher chances of DQ and no outside interference. However, the title can change hands on a count out. This was so Londos could cleanly defeat Tursas and move on.
Instead, the two bonked heads and Londos fell to the floor, getting counted out in the process (though Tursas did control about 60% of the match). This makes tursas the new World Champion.
My question is, where do I go from here? My plan was to turn Londos heel and have him evade opponents until the next HOF set. Then somehow I'd vacate both belts have restart things with a set of tournaments. However now Tursas is the champ and Fenton is the #1 contender. I could see Lond revoking Londos' rematch clause and somehow Londos and the Briscos would spend the next month feuding with The Baron and the Vachons.
But then what about the World Title? Tursas vs. Fenton isn't exactly a main event match. And if I do decide to vacate the belt, how could I do so? I don't like just taking the belt off of someone for strictly storyline purposes, and the two aren't feuding so a post-match brawl won't happen. And even if I have another vintage Rules match, a double count out is unlikely.
Like I said, only in SAGA . . .
