The Invasion Storyline - Fantasy RE:Booking
Sunday Aug 15, 2021
Sunday Aug 15, 2021
This year marks the 20th anniversary of what many consider to be the biggest missed booking opportunity of all time; the Invasion storyline. What should have been an easy slam dunk for Vince McMahon, ended up being a watered down attempt at a battle between WWE vs WCW. That is why the Bearhug boys have decided to have a go at pitching an idea for what the Invasion storyline could have been. The guys have a blank match card for a big WWE vs WCW finale event, with each one pitching their ideas and voting on what will make it onto the card. The guys will be selling their matches to one another based on the talent invovled and the storylines they can build around them. How do you think they did? What would your WWE vs WCW PPV look like? Hit them up on the comments or social media to let them know.

Following last month’s Double or Nothing ’21 PPV, AEW officially made it to two years as a company. To celebrate, the boys are looking back over all their favourite memories and matches as well as taking a look at how AEW has had such a meteoric rise. From the revolutionary All In event which helped birth the idea of the promotion to their first event in Double or Nothing ’19. To looking at the history of Dynamite which has already had such iconic moments such as; the birth of The Inner Circle, that epic Parking Lot Brawl and the heart-warming tribute to Brodie Lee. The lads also look at the marketing juggernaut the company has come with its own videogame’s division, champagne and… MJF cryptocurrency? They also keep a keen eye on what is to come by giving their opinions on what they would like to see out of the company moving forward.

Matches You Need To See returns! Now as both a podcast and YouTube show. For this newest installment, Greg takes us down one of his all-time favourite matches and what he believes is one of the best debut matches. Overseas, Nakamura had become one of the biggest stars of New Japan due to his flamboyant style and character that could easily kick your head off in one shot. But how to introduce him to the WWE faithful? After all, “strong style” wasn’t a word found too much in the WWE lexicon at the time and typically most WWE fans might not be too familiar with the NJPW product. The answer was to place him in the rising sister promotion NXT and his first opponent be one of the stars that helped build the brand. Oh, and give him one of the sickest entrances ever. Tune in to find out why this is a Match You Need To See.
