Hello. Its funny because I was just thinking about this event. No matter what it was going to be a hostile crowd with the departure of Ric Flair. The show must go on so I think I would of gone with an 8 man tournament to determine the new world champion. I would hope this would at least keep the fans interested and invested.
Round 1- Arn Anderson def. Dustin Rhodes
Lex Luger def. Dan Spivey
Sting and Nikita Koloff go to a wild double countout
Barry Windham def. Rick Steiner
Semi Finals- Lex Luger def. Arn Anderson
Barry Windham advances due to Sting/Nikita double c.o.
Finals- Lex Luger def. Barry Windham to win vacated title.
I would keep Luger as a face and Windham as a heel. Arn tries to interfere in finals but Luger fights him off and still comes up victorious. I would try to get the fans behind Luger all night by stacking the odds against him. Luger was over and I think he deserved his moment to celebrate with the fans. It would of been a hard fought way for him to win the title and really get the fans behind him.
Also on the card,
Steve Austin would win the TV title on this card against Bobby Eaton.
Ricky Morton/Terry Taylor def. Robert Gibson/Z-Man
Ron Simmons wins a Bunkhouse Battle Royal
I know the fans would still be upset over Flair leaving but I hope they would at least walk away feeling they got their money's worth.
