The Grappler was really off his game tonight.
Final Rating: D
I completely botched the booking on two angles (only about 4 minutes total, though). I'll redo those next week.
I created a storyline involving Sting and his main nemesis will be Top Gun. The "Sting's Hero Quest" storyline.
Barry Windham has the title now and is going to get a big sexy push. I also gave Brian Pillman the TV title, but he'll probably just hold it for a week or two before I give it over to someone else.
The Grappler kinda sucks. He's really only got Midcarder-Upper Midcard level talent. The only thing he's got going for him over the rest of the roster is popularity. And if I push the other workers like I want to, that advantage will go away soon. He's got D+ Pop in NW. Barry Windham just passed him (he's now C-, and started off at D a few months ago). Sting started off at F+ and is at E+ now. Shawn Michaels is up a step already. These guys are gaining pop and then I can phase out The Grappler.
It's a bit of a twist, though. I came in with too little in way of Faces. Now, Rip Oliver is trying to get himself fired, I'm not crazy about The Grappler, and none of the other heels really stand out. At some point, I may turn Windham and have him fight Sting unless I can bring in a big name heel down the road.
