Fantasy Wrestling Booking: The Kliq Edition

Now that Triple H vs. Kevin Nash is a forgone conclusion for Survivor Series, I've decided to brainstorm a little (okay, a lot). Here's how I'd play this whole thing out. At some point between now and Survivor Series, Shawn Michaels will come out, denounce Nash's actions, and show support for HHH. He says he'll be watching the match from home, but Shawn makes a surprise appearance at the PPV when it appears Nash will cheat to win. HHH wins with Shawn's help.

The following night on RAW, Nash calls out Shawn for being a liar and a bad Christian. Shawn specifies that a WWE ring will ALWAYS be his home away from home. Nash is not impressed and challenges DX to a TLC tag match at the TLC PPV in December. He says he'll announce his partner the following week.

NOW...Most people will think it's Scott Hall for obvious reasons, but unfortunately Hall is Mostly Dead in real life. Another possibility is Sean Waltman, but I have other ideas for him (more on that later).

Nash comes back the following week, and calls out his partner at TLC. The lights go out... GONG!!!.... GONG!!!.... Yep, it's the Undertaker!! Taker agrees to team up, NOT because he supports Nash, but because he has a beef with both HBK & HHH. HBK made a promise to Taker that he would stay retired, and how DARE he agree to wrestle again?!? As for HHH, he wants to finish the job he started at WrestleMania.

The TLC match happens. Taker ends up going rogue at the end, tombstoning everyone and leaving the match. Nash is outnumbered and loses. Nash comes out the following night, battered and bruised, and promises DX they haven't seen the last of him. HBK is all 'TTFN, Hunter.' They both stay off TV UNTIL...

Royal Rumble 2012 - Shawn is at home for real, thinking his help is no longer needed. HHH clears the ring at some point in the match. The buzzer goes off and it's Nash, back for one last showdown. HOWEVER, X-Pac bursts out with two baseball bats. He and Nash beat the ever-loving piss out of HHH and toss anyone who dares come down. Finally, the Undertaker comes out to clean house. He picks up a limp Triple H, does the throat slash taunt, and then leaves.

You still with me?...

So now, we're at the RAW following Royal Rumble. Triple H is in the hospital in critical condition. Shawn returns and challenges Nash/X-Pac to a Kliq Elimination Chamber match for the February PPV of the same name. Six combatants: Shawn, Nash, X-Pac, HHH (who will make his big return from the ICU). That leaves 2 spots. Taker comes out the following week to take one spot and remind Shawn that he still doesn't like him. The last spot is a mystery wrestler.

Chamber Match - the mystery guy is the last one to enter. His bubble is covered with a large black cloth, so his identity won't be revealed until the chamber opens. Sadly, it's not Scott Hall because he's still Mostly Dead. The match starts. Crowd chants for "Razor", "Hogan" and "Chyna". Nope! The final chamber breaks, and it's... Marty Jannetty! No, really. He and Shawn take out Nash & X-Pac, Rockers-style, while Taker and HHH battle. HHH eventually pins Taker to win the match. (BTW, Marty's appearance is also a nod to the "smarks" because of his involvement at Royal Rumble 1994. He was the "Undertaker" who rose from the video screen and ascended to the heavens after Yokozuna beat him.)

We're now in the home stretch on the Road To WrestleMania. Marty convinces Shawn that he can't go out a loser and must end his career the way he started, rockin' and rollin', struttin' and strollin', slammin' and jammin', etc. Thus, Rockers vs. Nash/X-Pac is set for Mania. HHH-Taker is also signed as a Career Ending Match. But first, it's a 6-Man Tag on RAW, two weeks before the big one: DX/Marty vs. Nash/X-Pac/Taker. All 6 men go at it, when suddenly a familiar voice is heard over the PA. It's none other than Mostly Dead Scott Hall! Hall cuts a VERY emotional promo saying how he doesn't want to die with his best friends hating each other. If they insist on being enemies, then he'll die alone. Hall drops the mic and walks off. The match ends in a no-contest with everyone staring at each other, then blaming each other for turning Scott against them.

Mania has arrived. HHH pledges to end Taker's career in Scott's honor. Nash/X-Pac don't care what Scott says and promise to whip the Rockers. Shawn is torn. Marty tries to fire him up. The Rockers match happens. Marty does most of the work because Shawn is emotionally out of it. Finally, God tells Shawn to kick some ass. He tags in and goes through his arsenal like the HBK of old. He superkicks Nash but doesn't cover him. He stops and stares as if to say 'What am I doing? I can't do this to my friend.' Marty is furious, spins HBK around, and superkicks HIM. Nash is all 'You can't do that to my friend!' and destroys Marty with a powerbomb to win the match. The three Kliqsters embrace and Shawn is a "winner" after all.

As for HHH-Taker, it's no-DQ. The finish is lifted from the HHH-Austin match at No Way Out 2001. Taker's chair meets HHH's sledgehammer. Both guys are out cold and Taker falls on top of HHH for the pin (Ironic since HHH beat Austin that way). Taker is 20-0. He lifts up The Game, hugs him, and leaves. The three Kliqsters come down and hug HHH. Then, they wave for Scott Hall to come in from the crowd. Hall hops the barricade, and the entire Kliq does one last Curtain Call together to close the show.

See, it CAN be Shakespeare after all! What do you think?
