Booking 10 WCW Concepts In Modern-Day WWE

8. Monster Truck Sumo

Kevin Nash Giant

The Giant returning less than two hours removed from getting pushed off a building without a mark on him was arguably the stupidest thing WCW ever committed to screen. It begged the viewer to ask questions of his descent, his landing and the point of even having a wrestling match with the seven-footer if he was impervious to death itself.

But massive cars with muscly arms and skulls on them? Fighting on a rooftop? Yes please!

As with many outlandish 1990s ideas from WCW's insanity factory, there's a good chance they could be repurposed into something broadly credible by 2017 WWE.

The House Of Horrors was the most miserable gimmick match of the year, but it's an exception that proves the rule for contemporary company silliness. As Vince McMahon gets older, his visions seem to get even more ludicrous, not least when viewed through a restrictive PG prism.

Braun Strowman's path of rage this year has been on the right side of farcical every time, including his own death-defying re-emergence from a trash compactor.

'The Monster Truck Among Men' vs 'The Big Red Monster Truck' would be a perfect way to pay off Strowman's current feud with Kane. Maybe a trip similar to The Giant's would have the requisite impact.
