After watching a lot on the WWE network and the current product the glaring difference for me other than competition for WWE is that the the mid/lower-card seemed to matter as you didn't want to lose your audience in the Monday night wars. Got me thinking, creative seem to use it as an after thought but majority of posters on here have had plenty of ideas.

So here is the challenge. Pick a mid to lower card act (tag, male or female)and how would you book them?
(For the sake of argument, Rollins, Cena, Orton, Bryan, Reigns, Lesnar & Bryan are headliners, but can be used in the storyline of the mid-carder) I have a few but always like to here ideas from other posters. My example to start it off:

Adam Rose – One week a messenger turns up and gives Rose a letter whilst on his coach. Rose looks upset and tells the messenger “No”. The next Smackdown the same happens and for the following Raw and Smackdown, with the messenger standing on the stage during matches distracting Rose. After the fourth occasion Rose walks up to the messenger after the match and says “OK” and walks off no explanation.

Rose is not seen for two weeks but videos show him back in S.Africa. Rose explains that he has been called back by his family and needs to retake the family dynasty of big game hunting. Rose also admits that his family name is actually Kruger (returning to his NXT name). Rose goes through an initiation/witchcraft of sorts and emerges as a focussed, almost deranged hunter (as per NXT or Kraven the hunter, surely if WWE can dress Cody as Mr Sinister then they can use Kraven!)

Rose returns to RAW and takes out talent after stalking them backstage in videos, taking trophies from each, e.g. Ryders glasses, Rowans mask etc . Rose then goes on a run at the US/ IC holder, and then uses the title to go after the biggest game in WWE “CENA!”.
(And then gets buried at Wrestlemainia like everyone else!)

Why would you waste a big push on a guy who can't wrestle, can't talk, is barley understandable when he does and has the charisma of a wet tea bag . I like the first bit, where he goes back to south Africa right enough lol

I like it. I really liked the Leo Kruger character in NXT and I think it would work a lot better than Adam Rose ever did. The only thing I think WWE would think about is that the Leo Kruger character is very similar to the Luke Harper character.

Dean Ambrose - Ambrose to win mitb, teases cash in on Rollins later that night, at summerslam it's Brock vs Rollins. Rollins wins and earns lesnar respect, but Kevin Owens debuts and assualts Rollins, Ambrose runs down and cashes in.

Noc, beats Rollins

Hiac beats orton

Tlc - beats Rollins and orton

Royal rumble beats reigns
Rumble match Rollins wins

Fast lane beats Owens

Wm32 beats reigns, Rollins and lesnar

You know something I've been watching lots of Attitude era & I think many of the Midcarders are miles better Wrestlers now a days there was just so many Great talents at that time but they had so much more Freedom in ring & on the mic. I'd much Rather watch Cesaro & Kidd or the Usos than the Godwins or the Quebecers. I've skipped so many awful Matches on those Old Raws & PPVs. Some of the Stuff they were throwing at you Inbetween all the Greatness going on on those Old Raws is so bad you wouldn't believe when you watch back. I do agree that there's far to many matches that mean nothing now though even those old Matches had some sort of Story or meaning.

I would push Bo Dallas if I was going for a real Low Carder.

Frandad, I don't have the network but from what I have seen so far Neville has outstanding potential, I also thought rusev could have been a great monster heel until he was fed to supercena, also I really think fandango has great ringwork and is good on the mike when given a chance it's just a shame they weighed him down with a crap gimmick.

The gimmick is sort of what I'm getting at fab1. Rose as Kruger had the fans at nxt not just the entrance like with fandango and rose. It's just not believable that a rich playboy or ballroom dancer would be a world champion wrestling, why would they be bothered! Neville or rusev then how would you push them fab1?
