What's The Most Methodical Long Term Plans Performed By A Wrestler?

[Dog Based Gremlin]

This Orton/Wyatt story has been a constant since August. It really is one of the longest running storylines in wrestling history. A complete story like this for so long hasn’t gone down since the 80’s.


I’ve struggled to care about it that much because the nature of the partnership just wasn’t plausible (Orton, one of the faces of the company for over a decade, is really going to be pushed under the umbrella of a still unproven, and largely untrusted person?), but still props to them for going for it and sticking by their guns. We beg for long-term booking all the time, and they actually went for it. If it comes to a finite end at WM, we’ll have just seen an eight month storyline play out.

Yeah I still cant suspend my disbelief that a legend like Randy Orton would surcome to Bray Wyatt all these months just to turn on him. Its clear this was a storyline that would have been good for Luke Harper (a legit minion of Bray's since day1) but i guess Cokeboy has no faith in him to be a big time Main Eventer for the B-show

Wolfpack vs Hollywood leading to the Elite they pretty much took all of WCW top guys including sting and swerved everyone after Nash got the belt off Goldberg. Story was dumb and of course didn't work out but that was a year worth of an angle

 

[DaylitoJames]

The extremely long ass complicated storyline of Bully Ray & The Aces and Eights.... it was so long that TNA had to make video packages to explain the entire storyline

Trips getting payback for taking all the heat for the curtain call. Put the moves on Steph and is poised to run the 'E when Vince steps down.

 

[The Great One]

Kane and Paul Bearer.

They built it up to be a huge fight and a battle...complete with Nash's over the top pyro, only to pull that BS

so "long term and methodical planning" it's decent execution

Just watched the video again and that pyro is so unnecessary. You'd think this was Starrcade and he was coming down for the biggest match of his career. Hogan came out to fight in dress slacks GTFOH

The HHH/Chyna joining the corporation angle was an incredible plan but we don't know when HHH started plotting his turn on DX

As soon as they were no longer the best bandwagon to be attached to, Triple Hov started planning his move.

The shyt don't stop either!!!

 

[ZEB WALTON]

edit: not a plan more like a build to a reaction

 

[Riley Escobar]

Batista's gradual face turn and split from Evolution

As far as I can recall they planted the seeds of that from September 04 onwards culminating in him winning the title from HHH at Mania 21

Probably the night that he locked Shawn out of the building so The Corporation could give him the beats.

MegaPowers Angle. Hogan all in the video's during Machos time of glory
