Earlier this week I had a thought come in my head – “You know, if you put Orange Cassidy in an angle with The Rock, having Cassidy do his usual ‘ignore-you-because-I-have-no-fucks-to-give’ schtick would probably work to have The Rock get angrier than he’s ever been – like white-hot-I-will-brutalize-you-in-the-middle-of-the-ring rage.” Not that I want Cassidy to jump ship to WWE, though I think the Triple H regime would handle him well. However, arguably, AEW and WWE is truly the last forbidden door – people go one way or the other but you never have them truly acknowledge the other, and have cross-programming material. So, I thought, if that Forbidden Door was to open, with The Rock on the table – how would I do it? As someone who, like Tony Kahn, has spent a fair amount of time playing not only Total Extreme Wrestling, but also Total Extreme Warfare and Extreme Warfare Revenge, I feel like I can put some good ideas out there.

Tony, Triple H, in the event you decide to read this, you have my permission to use these.
