>>11983455Tony has like, half of the right idea when it comes to booking monsters. Squashes are good, but it's a lot more effective if they get a very surprising squash against an upper card guy -- like Hobbes squashing Jericho last week.
I think your monsters should pretty much all be heels, geared towards being a tough obstacle that eventually puts someone over big.
But the main thing is, they need to win significant matches -- at least one in a back-and-forth feud. And it definitely helps if they can actually go in the ring, so the babyface gets a really good "overcoming the obstacle" match to pay off the feud (like a Vader, Mike Awesome, a Takayama, a Dr Death, a Stan Hansen, etc)
Now, Wardlow is a different case because he's a babyface monster. How the fuck do you book that?
Goldberg is really the only thing that comes to mind and even WCW didn't know how to handle that, where it was going, how to end it, how to keep the guy relevant in the aftermath of the streak.
Wardlow doesn't have the goods to be pushed to the main event, that's obvious, so you can't follow the Goldberg pattern. I don't know wtf you do with a guy who can only do the same move over and over, as well as occasionally doing a whisper in the wind spot in the corner.
