Booking 10 WCW Concepts In Modern-Day WWE
1. WarGames
The wide gap between euphoria and gloom in the life of a WWE fan is often narrowed by the company's choice of champion. With a beloved figurehead, even the darkest tunnel reveals as a ray of light, but a morale-sapping titleholder can have a fatal impact on genuine emotional investment. AJ Styles liberating the WWE Title from Jinder Mahal was the most recent significant shift for fans that felt the 'Modern Day Maharaja's reign strangling their love.
It's perhaps a newfound optimism sprung from 'The Phenomenal One's latest triumph that gives fans hope that NXT's TakeOver topliner is really a dry run for a fully fleshed out WWE reinvention.
Triple H's latest progressive push-through is far from an overnight job. He pushed for bringing back the double-cage blockbuster for years, even inadvertently triggering the invention of the Elimination Chamber after Vince McMahon bluntly declared he'd rather devise something brand new than lean on an idea not remotely his own.
Ironically, WWE's booking has rarely leant itself to the concept so well. '#UnderSiege' and the blue and red gubbins that fuels it would be perfectly paid off in a WarGames clash. As it stands, main roster fans may have to wait a year for next year's inter-brand battle, but if NXT breathes new life into the gimmick, a longstanding fantasy of millions could finally become a reality and a brand new Thanksgiving tradition.
