I still have a weird fantasy where Triple H gets the blessing from Vince McMahon to spend a few million and expand the WWE's developmental territory system, and they send Jerry Lawler to Memphis to head up a new promotion (of sorts) down there. They'd have Jerry Lawler, Bill Dundee, Dr. Tom, Tracy Smothers, Brian Kendrick and maybe a Cheerleader Melissa or Victoria head up training down there. Lance Russell would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on the first episode.
-The first big angle would be Jerry Lawler vs. Dolph Ziggler. "You gave me a heart attack!" "I'll only fight you under the condition that if I win, I'm your Heavyweight Champion, Lawler. And you have to hire my brother."
-They do a sit-down between Lance Russell and Jerry Lawler, where King questions how badly he wants Ziggler, because he's an older man now and may have just handed Ziggler the Heavyweight Title -- but he needs to fight him.
-Ziggler wins and Ryan Ziggler, or whatever they fucking call him, ends up with a developmental contract down there. Lana is also there looking fine. Maybe Tommy Dreamer helps out Ziggler (if they can get him from TNA), because he still hates Lawler for hitting him in the balls with a kendo stick so hard his testicles swelled up to the size of grapefruits.
-Kendrick brings in Eva Marie to showcase her talents more. Jessie Belle Smothers attacks her, because she's a real woman. Eva Marie and Jessie feud, with Kendrick and Smothers working with each other as well.
-Lawler gives contracts to Too Cool, and offers them the Memphis Tag Team Championship. They decline, because they want to earn it, so The Mechanics come out and say they'll gladly take the belts. The two teams brawl and a feud is started.
-The tournament originally declared to decide the Heavyweight Champion becomes a #1 Contender tournament.
That sort of shit.
