Storylines you started, but never finished

[Chris Lionheart]

Slightly different from the "Storylines you planned but never made public...
" thread, I thought it would be interesting for people to share storylines or feuds or bits of character development which they started to use, explain why it ended not happening, and how it was planned to end back then. Maybe even elaborate on how it could be modernized and brought into TNB too.

One storyline I never really got to read about, and I beleive was cut off at the knees at some point, was The Bloodworks. Gimme dat info!







Chris Lionheart - Genetic Scientist, Tommy Rosario & The Nitemare Project
Dotted around my 2009 RPs you might see references to Lionheart having a lot of money, or his 'real' business Lion Enterprises. I was finally planning on making a good-go of an idea that hadn't worked out previously and I'd since then shopped around to a lot of people throughout the efed years, and I think somewhere actually used a variation on this idea when I wasn't around. I know for a fact it was in early 2007 when I remember attempting it with Rock Stone as bodyguard for the staff in either TNB or NEW, but I'm sure it had been planned and even tried long before that.

Basically LH would have private funding and would conduct biological/genealogical experiments on jobbers, turning them into unstoppable killing machines in the ring, almost like super soldiers or his own private police squad. If wrestlers crossed him, they got put against one of these people, and if the A.I. did their part, they got slaughtered, leading to the year-end culmination of the wrestlers rising up and overthrowing Lionheart for his tyranny. The 2009 spin on this was to have "The Nitemare Project" (2008 NEW Jobber Sean Skyfire) abduct Sabrina Lockheart and start a feud with Genesis, but this never came off because around Royal Bash two months into TNB's second era, Gen left. Although there was also plans to bring TNP back once Tommy Rosario came on the scene, T.R. was doing so well for himself (even winning the TNB Gladiators title) and his RPs were as good as I'd ever seen or the best, that I didn't want to pull T.R. down to what would have essentially been a Nitemare vs ''The Nitemare Project'' feud similar, but more twisted than Kane vs Imposter Kane in real life 2006. When I say more twisted, I'm talking that this "Nitemare vs Nitemare" feud would have incorporated some psychological trauma the likes of SPLATTERHOUSE!

Chris Lionheart - 2010 - "Your" Lord Of The Ring
In thinking up different ideas on how I could bring LH back to being where he once was, I played out a few different scenarios in my head. One idea I had which ultimately didn't happen, was to bring LH back to active wrestling as an ego-maniacal heel. With his 'Legend' status he'd return decked out in gold, acting above most of the roster and wearing the 2006 VWE Lord Of The Ring on his left hand as a symbol of his greatness. At the time I was planning to transition his quest for the TNB Undisputed Title over to the TNB Legends title in 2010 (thus leaving the Undisputed Title open for others to go after to quell drama over self-promotion or whatever), but then we all voted for the Legends title to be retconned into a trophy instead (which in retrospect was the better choice).

The thing that just ruined this idea for me, made me keep LH face, and re-debut him in the ring in a different way, was of course ABYSSS-A-MAINIA and the HOF ring that TNA started doing. I'm 'still' waiting for Abyss to snap and turn heel or something like that.


Sean Starr/Shawn Hawk II
Shawn Hawk began as a masked personality for Shawn Youngblood, but the CAW was nothing more than an attire change at first. It was a way to write Shawn Youngblood out of wrestling (or at least USA Wrestling), and to show the split between he and Jason by Shawn adapting a new in-ring name.

Later on I thought I would try to do a non-talking masked wrestler to see how far I could go with such a premise before having to unmask him (it didn't last very long). This was to be a tribute persona to Shawn Hawk, and when I unmasked him and he 'wasn't' Shawn Youngblood I'd have a semi-built up new character to run with instead. Later, I made the new wrestler behind the Shawn Hawk Tribute mask into Shawn Starr, brother of Shayne Starr (the former imposter Shayne Pain from years ago), who'd since married Shawn Youngblood to become Shayne Youngblood, thus making Shawn Starr into Shawn Youngblood's brother-in-law - and ready to debut as himself or indeed become Shawn Hawk II very soon, to avenge Youngblood's attack a the hands of Brendan Maslow, and take TNB's A1 division by storm.

The New SuperStars
Not the LXW tag team of Brent Starr and Shawn Hollywood. Or the tag team of Seth Owens and Shawn Youngblood like I had them on my copy of SVR2007, but a new tag team of Seth Owens and Micheal St. Star.

These two virtual unknowns were first set to debut and get a slow-build from being rookies in 2009. At Royal Brash, two authority figures fought in the ring as part of a backstage power struggle which was triggered when David Cornell gave up his position as the General Manager, and Sylas Styles defeated Chris Lionheart to gain majority control of TNB. After the match Lionheart gave a speech, was given praised by Keith and Bobby Williams in what we now know was false thanks to Keith wrestling control of TNB from Lionheart once and for all at the end of 2010, and then two masked men attacked Lionheart and the Williams'. Those two masked men turned out to be Ryan Blaze and Haven doing the bidding of Sylas Styles, but a mere month later they would turn around and attack Sylas Styles himself, with the help of a masked Brent Starr.

But at Royal Brash, the masked men were on Sylas' side, and Sylas Styles and a steel chair stopped two ring-side students of Chris Lionheart's from hopping the barrier and stopping the onslaught in the ring. Those two students were supposed to debut, and look to getting separate revenge against Sylas Styles, Haven, Ryan Blaze and Brent Starr, but real life got in the way. I became so busy running TNB in the summer of 2009 that after the matches and things were all done, I had no time to RP for literally a couple of months. When I did it was the bare-essentials of what needed to be done to change the efed into how staff wanted it to go (Lionheart feud with Avenger to bring back the Undisputed Title to replace the Gladiator title). By this time I was finally ready to bring back these two extra characters it was Off Season in-between 2009 and 2010 games, and Haven didn't return in the 2010 season, Sylas had gone face again, and Brent Starr was off doing Future Shock tag team. The pair became part of a 3 panel commentary team along with Keith Williams for the 2010 season, but no one really used them in their roleplays.

Bobby Williams and Brent (the Canadian currently without a last name) are my current projects for bringing to life CAWs I have long been creating, but I do want to make Seth Owens and Micheal St. Star a reality some day too.

[Sylas Styles]

Sylas was to be shot, and killed, in the season after the last of VWE.

Yup. At the conclusion of Wrestlefest, Sylas was to be confronted by a women who was one of the more pure C0de virus recipients. Sylas, being crazed with the c0de strand persuit, was to be hunting them all down, eliminating them all until he finished with the very daughter of Gaiden, KITSU.

I had KITSU a hidden character, beneath a charade of stupidity, and innocence. Everything was going great until VWE shut down, and I never got to finish it. So rather then go through with it elsewhere, it was abandoned, and his career extended a few more years now. The female who would be responsible for the death?

Autumn!

The very women Sylas hand picked to take his place on the VWE roster.

September 3rd 2009

Wrestlefest Eight was a big success. For the roster, for the backstage crew, for the entire company and ultimately, the fans.
A familiar face approaches the man in the business suit.
She looked different then she did 2 years prior. Gone was the simple look of her first impression and appearance. What stood before him now was a complete package of talent, looks and intelligence.
Oh how far she had come from that June day back in 07.

Mr Styles. I see your quite happy with the turn of events of Wrestlefest. I assume your wondering, like everyone else, how it is I pulled it all off, aren't you?

No, I know how you did it. I knew from the moment you stepped into the ring what you were all about.
I admit, I did my research. I found out all I needed to know. Everything you've done, everywhere you've gone. I've known about it and tracked your every move.

I see. Sylas, you are wonderous. How is it, you're so sure that, what it is, you think you know, is the truth?

He gets real close to her. Almost nose to nose and with an asseriveness replies.

Because I can smell it on you! Did you honestly think that I, a hunter for your kind, all of my life, could not sense it immediately? For shame! I take that as an insult. But don't fret, your secret is safe with me.

I won't tell a soul.

He turns around from her, his back to her, and proceeds to walk away. A smile on his face, satisfied that he had finally told her what he'd kept from her for 2 years.

She laughs to her self quietly as he walks from her and then goes about doing the one thing she swore to herself, and friends, she wouldn't

BANG

The sound of screams and cries are heard all around after the sound

Someone call 911!!! Someone has shot Mr. Styles!! Get an ambulance or a paramedic here NOW!!

And she walked away from the scene as the crowd surrounded him on the concrete. The body laying in a pool of blood as it stained his white suit.

A smile on his face as his heartbeat slowly dies off.. and comes
to an end

[Jason Youngblood]

^^ Dude... No... Just... No lol Sylas no die. Come up with something else Glad you didn't do that one. Story wise, huge. OOC to me, sad sad day.

A few that I had planned but didn't ever do it were for one, switching Vegas & Sarah Andrews-Cross' face/heel mannerisms. Have Vegas go face...

Yeah I know , I know but I think I would've pulled it off. lol Some kind of way. And then have Sarah begin a slow downward spiral into a depression of some kind. Maybe even an addiction, totally destroying her history as the girl next door who can suplex you out of your shoes and all that. Turning her against all of her friends. Lindsay Corban, Kenisha Williams, Laura De'Icco, Kim Hunter, etc. etc. Making her a complete bitch, which really she was supposed to be from the start back in WTF. She was to be the original Regime Queen. (Fam/Regime/Order trivia question #52)

Another that I had planned for TNB a few years back actually. Around the time of the return when Adrian Kincade( I believe) was crowned Undisputed champion. Was to return with the big man Kasino Royale as my main male character and run with him for a few seasons. I mean there's always a lack of big men being rp'd in feds ala Diesel, Undertaker, those types so I figured I should give it a try and see where i could go with him. Oh and he was gonna be a face this time around lol

I'm probably gonna get the names of the characters wrong, but I'll try to get them right.

APW - Carnage as Dayna's bodyguard(I don't remember her last name. He was possibly my first "more than meets the eye" character in that he was a powerhouse who looked sort of like a rocker, but was a manipulating bastard. If I remember right he sort of started to play both sides being Dayna's bodyguard, spy on Vegas(for Dayna), and possibly an alliance with Warrington Steele all the while using them to advance his place on the ladder. But there was some OOC drama involving Dayna's handler and she dropped out of APW which kinda left me feeling directionless so I phased out and disappeared.

GCW - This one looking back, I'm sort of glad I didn't finish. Manor was gonna become increasingly violent, going so far to attack his teammates, James Hunter and Christian Pryce before moving on to MG(not MG Cage). Eventually, depending on how I liked the direction I'd either stick with it or, have another Manor reveal the current one as a fake. It seems like it wouldn't have done any of the characters involved any favors.

____ - I left this blank, cause I can't remember which fed this was considered for. Anyways, the idea to make Scott Manor a general manager of a place was pitched around. I think there might have been some building to it, but it ended up just not happening. I think it might have been here it was tossed around to make Genesis's life hell, but could have been AWF or a couple other places. I know it was after FCW and Manor's stint as Willow's bodyguard where he totally abused his "power" for his own amusement at times.

Lucy Is Supernatural
I started to do a storyline with Lucy Younblood back in 2006 back when she was just ''Lucy'', and hadn't married Jason yet. She had something supernatural about her, and would black out/have visions. If I remember correctly it involved the Sylas Styles-Jason Youngblood blood feud that was going on at the time, involved a dead family member of hers, and might even have given us Lucy's (now maiden) surname. I believe this was to be one way I planned to indoctrinate my characters into the Ohio "supernatural universe", rather than always forging my own path without taking much note of the rest of things outside of my own feuds and storylines.
