This was really fun to book. In storyline, someone has hired a huge bounty on Stone Cold Steve Austin to make sure he doesn't make it to the 1998 Royal Rumble and one of the people who took the hitjob was New Jack who is apart of the Nation of Domination. I'm pretty sure the trash talk during this match was insane. Post match, Austin stunnered Jack off a scaffold. The Nation are not gonna be happy about that.

Context: In this universe, CM Punk is 8 years younger than he is in real life (born 1978 irl) and started wrestling around 1988-1990. He paid his dues training under Terry Funk and learning in Mexico, Europe and Japan and had stints in CMLL, AAA, NJPW, AJPW, SMW and FMW. He also had a brief stint in WCW as an crusierweight before being released as Hogan didn't like his look. In this universe, he had a great ECW run before heading to the WWF. Punk has the straight edge gimmick and will eventually transition to his Straight Edge Society Cult Leader gimmick and feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin in a year or two. I am so looking forward to that. Right now I just signed him to the WWF and he is currently competing for the WWF Junior Heavyweight Championship and is going to fight TAKA at the Rumble for it. Meanwhile he has a feud on Raw and Shotgun Saturday Night with Flash Funk. Punk isn't a fan of Funk's pimp lifestyle and is trying to convert him to be Straight Edge. Punk is a face at the moment who is preaching straight edge and how he's a man of discipline . The crowds boo him all the time and he stays resilient to adversity. In the coming months, he will have a slow burn heel turn. He isn't fully heel yet. I was just wondering if anyone in this sub has done something similar. I just think adding a wrestler in their prime onto a different era is a wicked idea. Punk would fit like a glove in the Attitude Era.

I think this would be a bloody phenomenal feud and have been a lot better than their 2013 feud from real life. The promos would be really good and I can see Heel Rock being a great counter to Punk's face promo rather than the cheesy lines the Rock had against Punk as a face in their real life feud. I feel like the "You're Arms are too Short to Box with God" line from Punk would go even harder with Rock as a heel and the fans cheering for Punk.

I have been watching matches and documentaries of Mr Perfect and the dude is no pun intended perfect. I just think if he was in his prime post 20th century and around either the 2000s, 2010s or 2020s, the potential has no limit. Some oppenents I can think from the top of my head that would’ve fit well with Hennig’s style and selling are Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton, etc.
