Jackass Booking: The Legacy

So Randy Orton's putting together a faction called The Legacy. In story, it is to be a group of second (or third)-generation wrestlers who feel that they are entitled to...something. Booking-wise, it would seem that the intention is to use Orton to elevate some of the young roster members to close to Main Event status. OK. Got it.

Over the last few weeks, he has been putting the candidates through a bit of a "rush" period. If they win, they get to stay in consideration. If they lose, they're out. Pretty easy stuff. As of this writing, both Manu and Sim Snuka have been eliminated and Cody Rhodes remains as the only contender.

This is pretty clearly headed one of two ways:

Option 1: Rhodes will lose on Monday, and Orton will have no more potential Legacy members. How much of a SWERVE would that be? Nobody would see that coming!

Option 2: Rhodes will lose on Monday, and Orton will reveal his Grand Scheme. Out will come the REAL Legacy members--Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Goldust. Goldust will reveal himself to be Dustin Runnells, the son of Dusty Rhodes. I know! SWERVE CITY!! This will elevate Chavo and Goldust and also sets up a natural Cody vs. Dustin feud for Wrestlemania. Chavo will move to Raw and continue his role as "third wheel" in a main event angle.

Jackass Booking: What's it Take?

So Wrestler A (let's call him Shane Douglas) is working against Wrestler B (let's say, oh, I dunno...Pitbull #2). They have about a 20 minute match, possibly a 4-way, against Wrestler C (Hmm...Chris Candido?...no, Chris Jericho) and Wrestler D (Too Cold Scorpio). Pitbull has a partner (maybe Pitbull #1 or #1) and a manager/valet at ringside (possibly Beulah or Francine).

We join this Jackass Finish just after Jericho and Scorpio have been eliminated:


--Ref bump
--Pitbull 2 presses Douglas
--Francine comes in the ring and throws powder in Pitbull 2's eyes
--Douglas lowblows Pitbull 2
--Francine takes off her skirt, revealing that the powder was a "turn" on Pitbull 2
--Douglas and Francine make out
--Pitbull 2Hulks Up
--Pitbull 2 Clotheslines Douglas outside the ring
--Pitbull #1 finally notices something is up and grabs Francine
--Pitbull 2 sets up a table, basically right on top of the still-unconscious ref
--Pitbull 2 realizes that the ref is right under the table, and rolls him harshly outside
--The Pitbulls give Francine a superbomb through the table
--ECW! ECW!
--Douglas returns from the dead and DDTs Pitbull #1 (possibly breaking Pitbull's neck)
--Douglas hits Pitbull 2 with a belt shot
--Nearfall
--Douglas hits Pitbull 2 with a chunk of the table
--Nearfall
--Um, brass knuckles?
--Nearfall
--Shit. How about a chain?
--Nearfall
--Crap.
--Pitbull 2 Hulks Up
--Uh oh.
--Pitbull 2 whips Douglas into the corner
--Pitbull 2 misses a leg lariat and (perhaps unintentionally) flies over the top rope
--Howzabout a Belly To Belly maybe? That can't be more effective than powder, a lowblow, brass knuckles, a table or a chain? Guess it's worth a shot.
--1-2-3...Pin
--Hey! That somehow worked!!

OK...I'll admit it. This was a REAL jackass finish. In the future, we'll invent them. We promise.
