WHY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN: TED DIBIASE VIGNETTES

He's got the name.

He's got the Million Dollar Belt.

He's got the attitude.

Now, he needs the vignettes.

WWE, I beg you, please just reshoot these with Ted DiBiase Jr., update the references and you will have yourselves a bona fide superstar. BAHAHAHHA!!!

Seriously.

Imagine how awesome it would be if they just started airing vignettes like these.

Ted DiBiase vignettes. This should happen.

WHY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN: KOFI KINGSTON HEEL TURN

I don't know if I've heard anyone suggest this yet. But to me, it makes all kinds of sense.

KOFI KINGSTON

FIND YOUR INNER BADASS

Kofi blew everyone away with his badass, racecar-demolishing, street-clothes-wearing promo on Randy Orton last year on RAW. It was awesome. The guy we only knew as the dude who came out bouncing and smiling all of a sudden had an attitude and a pair to go along with it.

Since then, aside from the occasional moment in a promo, we have yet to see this Kofi Kingston again. Kofi's been set aside for now, so it seems, to give Randy Orton some breathing room as the resident badass tweenin' babyface. But I want to see the Kofi we saw destroy a Nascar with a crowbar. How can we see that again?

Turn Kofi Kingston heel.

Kofi could run wild with his mean streak, maybe alter his moveset a bit in order to turn those cheers to boos, and maybe we'd see a guy who looked and sounded as tough as he did that one specific time. I really think he could kill it.

Now is the perfect time to do this. Smackdown! is potentially overflowing with midcard and main event faces (Christian, Undertaker, Mysterio, Big Show, Kane, MVP, Matt Hardy) and they could definitely use a fresh new midcard heel to liven things up and add to a pretty solid - yet sparse - heel roster (Ziggler, McIntyre, Punk, Swagger, etc.).

He shouldn't be a cowardly heel. He shouldn't an "evil" heel. He should be the dude who blasted Orton's car with a crowbar and showed no remorse. This dude was a bona fide badass.

All of the greatest faces in wrestling were never truly great until they showed their mean streak to the crowd. The Rock, Randy Orton, John Cena, Shawn Michaels... you could go on and on.

Kofi Kingston needs to turn heel, find his inner badass and take the spotlight he so deserves.

Kofi Kingston turning heel. This should happen.

WHY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN: TEAM ANGLE TO ROH

SHELTON BENJAMIN AND CHARLIE HAAS

IN RING OF HONOR

I was listening to Between The Ropes earlier today (the post-WrestleMania podcast) and Fritz briefly mentioned how Charlie Haas was publicly suggesting Shelton Benjamin to leave WWE when his contract is up. I was like "that's awesome," and thought nothing more of it.

Then I read Fritz's FanHouse interview with Haas and realized just how smack-yourself-in-the-face awesome this could be. Here's what I'm talking about:

Well Charlie, enjoy your freedom right now while it lasts.

I will. Believe me, I will. Everyone calls me and is like 'Charlie, are you OK?'. I've never been happier, trust me. And I've got one thing to say: Shelton, your (WWE) contract is coming up - don't sign! Please don't sign. You can go elsewhere. I'm telling you, there's life outside (WWE). We can go to TNA together. We can go to Ring of Honor together. Don't sign back. I'm going to get him more money that way.

Imagine.

Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas.

Team Angle.

The World's Greatest Tag Team.

In Ring of Honor.

I would mark out so hard that I would probably DDT my laptop.

It's such a long shot, but Charlie Haas openly admits to being very interested in Ring of Honor's wrestling style, right after explaining how he does not fit in with WWE's "Hollywood" direction that is more interested in entertainers than wrestlers.

Ring of Honor, with the Young Bucks leaving, the Wolves wrestling mostly singles, and Steenerico breaking up, has a definite hole in a once UNSTOPPABLE tag team division. Haas and Benjamin would tear shit up, and I think they would get a more than warm welcome from the ROH fans.

These are two guys who have been stuck doing a whole lot of nothing (Haas more notably) lately. If it's true that Shelton's contract is indeed coming up... this could definitely be a possibility.

If not, I would still settle for Charlie Haas in ROH. He is an absolute beast.

Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas, The World's Greatest Tag Team, in Ring of Honor. This should happen.

WHY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN: MONEY IN THE BANK PPV = NEW KING OF THE RING

Or Survival of the Fittest, to be a little more accurate.

MONEY IN THE BANK

AS A ONE NIGHT TOURNAMENT

Having Money In The Bank as it's own event is a great idea. WrestleMania will still do fine without it (er... assuming they don't have two MITBs a year, which would be stupid) and we get another BIG event to look forward to later in the year.

I just hope it works something like this:

You book the event so it will feature your six qualifying matches (3 RAW, 3 SD!) - the winners of which will go on to the MITB Main Event later that night. You could also have a special attraction match of some kind as the semi-Main Event, to give the guys pulling double duty a rest before the ladder match. So, exactly like Survival of the Fittest.

If you wanted, you could also have an 8-man MITB, with two qualifying matches happening on TV - and you could sell those by saying the winners will almost be getting a "bye" since they will only have to wrestle once on the night of the PPV.

The only problem I can see with it is this: the Money in the Bank match has always been for guys on the cusp of the main event. If the MITB PPV is centered entirely around the MITB itself, we either get the main eventers not appearing on the show or main eventers appearing in the match itself.

So instead of having Kofi Kingston, Christian, Shelton Benjamin, John Morrison, Evan Bourne, Jack Swagger, etc... we get a MITB of Triple H, John Cena, Batista... etc.

I can't see that happening though. I hope.

The perfect scenario would be six qualifiers (or just four with two on TV), one (or two if necessary) special attraction/World Title matches, then the MITB match itself.

I've gone on long enough. I'm about to watch Survival of the Fittest 2009 for more inspiration. And to get my hopes up super-high, so when WWE announces that the MITB PPV will be 3 MITB matches, I'll stick my head in the oven.

I miss the idea of one night tournaments, and this seems like the closest we'll get with the WWE.

Money In The Bank PPV as The New King of the Ring Survival of the Fittest. This should happen.

WHY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN: PUNK/REY, BRET AT WRESTLEMANIA

REY MYSTERIO VS. CM PUNK

MASK VS. HAIR AT WRESTLEMANIA 26

At first I was like "wtf guys". But now I'm like, "ohhh that the fuck guys". I get it now. Actually it just took me a sec.

Normally, I would rather have Punk in a headlining-type role for WrestleMania this year, what with him competing in the MITB matches two years in a row. So a match with Mysterio with no real legs as of right now would seem like a downgrade, right?

Maybe not.

Punk's current storyline of building a Straight-Edge Society is crazy good. It was until last week's show that I realized that his Jesus-like beard wasn't just a fashion choice. It's clearly a part of the story, and I feel like a dope for missing it.

Luke (biblical name) Gallows is being referred to as Punk's disciple. Just this past week, Punk seems to have recruited another disciple in James (biblical name, an apostle to be exact), a regular fan from the crowd who he "saved" from the evils of alcohol, cigarettes and prescription medication.

If Punk continues recruiting people from the crowd with biblical names (or even the remaining names for the Twelve Apostles... although it'll be tough to convince people that a dude in the crowd is actually named Thaddeus), I will mark the fuck out. Portraying CM Punk as a Jesus Christ character (and if that's not enough, his real name is Phil, another one of Jesus' Twelve Apostles) without overtly stating so will get him more and more heat (as if he needs anymore) as he goes along.

And if this is built strongly towards WrestleMania, and Punk loses to Mysterio and has his head shaved just like the rest of his disciples (or apostles, followers, recruits, whatevs), it will be awesome.

Like a crucifixion.

Er... I don't mean crucifixions are awesome. But this one will be the best one I've ever dun seen!

PLUS, this match could easily steal the show just based on pure wrestling ability, especially if Jericho/Edge doesn't happen, and if Undertaker doesn't have Shawn Michaels to contend with.

DOUBLE PLUS, this feud could start very easily, with maybe Punk looking to save a fan wearing one of Mysterio's masks. And Mysterio had a publicized wellness policy violation last year that Punk could bring up as well. I'm getting more and more excited about this the more I talk about it OMGGUYS.

Punk vs. Rey, hair vs. mask, WrestleMania 26. This should happen.

BRET HART AND SHAWN MICHAELS

VS. TRIPLE H AND VINCE MCMAHON

My original prediction had Bret teaming with the Hart Dynasty to take on DX and Vince, but that obviously is not going to happen. So I'm taking another shot at it!

Bret and Shawn have reconciled. But Triple H and Bret certainly haven't.

A DX split has been seemingly brewing for some time now.

Vince mentioned to Orton that he had security of his own. What better security than his son-in-law and closest and best brah THEDESTROYERTRIPLEH!

It makes a lot of sense match-wise too. Just having Bret vs. Vince wouldn't really work, I don't think. It'd be too risky. And my earlier-predicted six-man tag would require two tag teams to fully turn, which isn't an easy and believable thing to do with the time given.

But with Shawn teaming with Bret and Vince teaming with Hunter, the bulk of the match could be handled by DX, with Bret and Vince hanging out on the apron until it's their time to shine, and get that big pop for the Sharpshooter.

I don't know how it could happen. Maybe some kind of tension at the Rumble. But DX could split, then one night on RAW, Hunter and Vince could lay a beating on Bret until Shawn makes the glorious save.

And I'll cry.

Bret and Shawn vs. Triple H and Vince at WrestleMania 26. This should happen.
