Yesterday I read a report that the WWE is hiring new members for its creative team from other mediums (such as Hollywood writers and soap opera writers) and they have absolutely no wrestling knowledge at all. Which, is nothing new really. WWE has been making an effort to get into movies, even with The Marine and Kane's film. So, I have an idea that could exploit this weakness and turn it into something positive.
Picture this: A few weeks before Jericho returns from his leave of absence, they announce that he's going to have a special guest on the Highlight Reel who's going to make a blockbuster announcement. They hype it up big-time until the magical night finally arrives. Jericho returns to a respectable ovation and announces that since he debuted the face of Raw has changed, and just as he promised, RAW has never been the same. But, after tonight, the product is going to be revolutionized in a way no one could have ever imagined as he's going to interview a man who's an even bigger star than he is. So, he introduces his guest at long last--Tom Cruise! Cruise comes out with his manager, Howard Dean to a stunned live crowd.
Cruise announces that he's done everything there is to be done in Hollywood. He's made hits all around the world and now he wants to bring hits to the ring. He says that no mission is impossible when you're Tom Cruise. Vince McMahon showed him the money and now he's ready to spread the gospel of Scientology. There's no better platform than WWE's weekly global programming. Howard Dean then gets on the mic and says they're going to spread the word in Florida, Washington, Seattle, and even the biggest stage of them all, Madison Square Garden in New York---YEEEEAAAAAH!
And Tom Cruise proceeds to flippin' nuts and jump all over Jericho's furniture, accidentally destroying the super expensive Jeritron 5000 in the process.
Of course, Jericho gets pissed which will start a feud between the two. He'll say that he's going to put Jericho on "Cruise Control." He'll say a modified line from Jerry Mcguire "I'm taking everyone to hell, and Jericho you're coming with me!" The mic work and promos between the two will be electrifying. Cruise could even get into a program with Viscera announcing that no one is a bigger lady's man that himself and his "Cruise Missle."
When he's getting beat up in the ring, he could even "Hulk up" by jumping around like a maniac and giving that crazy stare he did as Vincent from "Collateral." The best part of this gimmick is that he'll be himself--an absolute lunatic. He'll believe that his movies were real. He'll tell the Big Show that he's nothing to him having taken on aliens. Tajiri is no match for The Last Samurai.
What do you guys think?
