(Roman Reigns has been amazing, Drew McIntyre was a breath of fresh air, the Mysterios as champs was cool, Edge is back, and SmackDown has kicked ass!)
"I was born sour, then I became a wrestling fan, and it's been worse since then"
Same Adam, same.
It is quite refreshing that Fred Jones took a break from mystery solving and started rebooking wrestling storylines.
That would be funny if it wasn't for the fact that Freddie Prinze Jr was a writer for Smackdown for a year lol
@@kangoftherang7468 actually, that makes it even funnier😅
No neckerchief. We must pull off his face to reveal another face.
What are you talking about?
That's Daphne Blake!
@@arthurzonatto4447 Been watching NRB? Me too 😀😀
My goodness, FTR and Danielson in a faction would rule so much!
It could happen. Maybe if Danielson beats MJF and takes the Pinnacle apart.
That would legit be amazing
This needs to happen in aew
Not in WWE environment.
I liked the part where Kofi was made to look like the main eventer he deserved to be.
Kofi never deserved to be one though. He's an average mid-carder or a decent tag team wrestler, but that's about it really.
He’s a better wrestler than miz, yet miz has had title reigns. He’s a better wrestler then reigns, yet reigns has been in the main even almost his entire tenure at WWE. Kofi is charismatic, incredibly athletic, and has worked hard throughout his career. He definitely deserves to be a main eventer
@@ZombieaidZ Miz was an awful choice for a world champion as well. Roman had the worst booking of any main eventer in WWE since Rey Mysterio and still managed to bounce back and be the best full time singles male/female performer in pro wrestling today. Kofi is athletic, but so are 90% of indie wrestlers today. As for him being charismatic, we definitely have different definitions of charisma. He barely has any personality whatsoever and he's the worst promo in the new day by a country mile.
@@AliSubhi-xs4rn Not that I’m judging your personal preferences, but I don’t watch wrestling to watch big, sweaty men rub on each other.
@@chrisbartolini1508 funny I too dont watch wrestling to see big, sweaty man to rub on each other, even tho thats basicaly Wrestling but I get what you mean, still i agree with Ali Mohamed . I'm not saying Kofi wasn't diserving of a Championshiprun and the End of his Run sucked but imo he is not a constant Maineventer.
As a extension to Adam's booking, I would give Kofi a silver lining ending at Mania 36 with a grudge match with Bryan. Even in a empty room setting of the pandemic, I can see them doing lots in a all out empty arena brawl.
Why though because Bryan turns babyface Royal Rumble time what's the point in making him heel again Mania time.
@@zaina9262 Who said Bryan would be babyface by 2020 in this timeline?
@@RedoubtProductions1754 it is just that Adam usually makes his bookings end up in the same way as real life
@@zaina9262 true, true. fair enough.
@@RedoubtProductions1754 Wow you took that much nicer than usual people
I agree that Ali should of been Kofi's first heel opponent and not Kevin which derailed his Face push
I'm sorry man but it really bothers me so much... should have, or otherwise should've. For future reference, I'll leave you alone now
@@yosoyflips thank you my former middle school grammar teacher
Could you book an Andre the Giant WWE title reign? He never got a proper run and I think it’s be fun to see one.
I actually really enjoyed how you did all of this, even Lesnar winning at the end because 1, Lesnar’s awesome, and 2, it helps so more of that “conquerer” mystique defeating Kofi for the title before putting over Drew at WM 36.
An idea for another video like you said is to rebook Cesaro’s rise in 2014
Here's how I would have done it:
"Coming off of his huge win in the Andre the Giant battle royale, Cesaro (without Paul Heyman) gets a shot to face Big E for the intercontinental championship, which he wins. We're going to use Cesaro to rebuild that title.
On that same night, Rusev (Under orders from the Authority) SQUASHES Dean Ambrose to become the knew US champion. This is important.
At Payback, Cesaro retains against Big E, while Rusev squashes Jericho to keep his US title almost IMMEDIATELY after.
At Money in the Bank, he retains in a fourway against Ryback, Curtis Axel, AND Big E. While Rusev gains another squash victory over RVD.
At Battleground he retains over his old partner Jack Swagger, and again over the Big Show at Summerslam. He is on a solid unbeaten streak at this point.
On Night of Champions, Sheamus falls to him and at this point, the Authority start taking notice. So they send Randy Orton to try and get the belt off of him and derail his momentum, but not even Randy Orton can stop him. Cesaro is powering his way through TWO former world champions.
Hell in a Cell and Wade Barrett falls to Cesaro.
At Royal Rumble, both Cesaro AND Rusev have been undefeated and they both eliminate each other from the royal rumble setting up a champion vs champion, streak vs streak match at Wrestlemania 31.
Lesner is a big lump and past his prime, looking uninterested half the time.
Lesnar isn't awesome. He's boring af these days.
@@schizzo8959 More like 90% of the time.
@@Lunacorva I like it
Not sure if anyone's done this but, Adam has gotta book Shawn Michaels vs Eddie Guerrero at WM 22 (it would've been one of the greatest matches in wrestlemania history)
Normally Adam doesn't book around certain circumstances, so I don't know if he'd do that since Eddie had died months before mania 22. But it would be cool if he did
@@speedy932key4 he could book it for summerslam 2005 though which would successfully avoid “Hogan/Michaels and Custody of Dominick Ladder Match”
It would probably be the best wrestling match in the history of everything and i wish we could have it so bad
There is NO WAY Oli will stand a chance against Adam for their Fantasy Booking Warfare Final Match. This man is the King of Booking
A six pack challenge for the WWE championship at Clash of Champions would've made that night bearable. Apart from car troubles, the audience popped at exactly ONE POINT: The Fiend attacking Seth at the end of the night.
"Hey Kofi, we appreciate your loyalty to the company for over a decade and we've rewarded you with a lackluster title reign and a Squash by brock lesnar. After that we want you wobble back out there and smile like nothing happened. Sound like a plan? Thanks idio- oh I mean Kofi" - Vince Probably
He was dominant during his reign before the Brock stuff. Stop it.
@@abrahamfarraj84 lol
They just capitalized ob the moment and moved on to the usual....
@@royshaheer Facts
@@abrahamfarraj84 dominant sure, but the only one where they really let him go crazy was the samoa joe feud.
I will say Kofi's Wrestlemania celebration with his New Day members, his family, and Byron Saxton beyond happy on commentary was such a great feel-good moment. Easily in the Top 10 Wrestlemania feel-good babyface ending celebrations.
Adam used what I thought they should’ve done by giving Ali “It Should have been me.”
One of your best videos Adam and that is SAYING something
Also I just searched “How Adam Would Book” and as I was scrolling I got the notification
Loved the puppy backstory, really fleshed out Adam’s backstory
That's Bingley!
“I was born sour, then I became a wrestling fan and it’s gotten worse since then.”
it is perfectly applied for me also for being an Arsenal fan.....
Ha! Yeah, that is ……. Accurate
That Ali-Kofi storyline would’ve been so great
Adam is just the best thing in the youtube wrestling community by far
Yes he is
*Wrestletalk
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!
What about Simon?
@@luislima3476 Simon is also great
As far as new things to book, how about "The Reign of the Four Horsewomen," which got teased a few times as a stable but now is practically an impossibility? Talk about WWE missing boats full of money.
Adam: Now known as FTR the revival
Me: (BLEEP) THE REVIVAL
Crowd: BOOOOOO
Me: WHY ARE YOU BOOING ME I'M RIGHT
Technically yes
Honestly miss the inclusion of Ziggler. Cause there was a story there. The Two Men seemed to circle eachother in the mid card and Kofi finally won the big one but Dolph never really did.
Yeah dolph was basically the orton to kofi's cena. The wrestled like 15 times, often for mid card belts.
I don’t think Adam could’ve explained what I was feeling during that first gauntlet match any better. I was in tears by the time it was over.
I was a sobbing mess by the end of EC
I don’t need to tell you how Mania went
Adam could try re-booking the Queen's Crown Tournament. There's a idea. This dude has done a lot of these videos bruh what's even left lol
I hope you kept the "It should've been me" quote from Ziggler cause that feud was fun tbh.
Nice to see Adam in his cricket whites.
I've been waiting for this, I love Kofi but his reign really wasn't all that great and I can't wait to hear it done better
Agree but I did think his storyline becoming WWE from beating Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania 35 was good.
It was a decent reign overshadowed by a terrible ending and aftermath
Here's a booking idea for ya Adam. Book a decent pre and post championship run for Asuka set after Mania 34 and into the Pandemic Era.
How WWE should’ve booked Sami Zayn’s and Finn Balor’s early runs with the presumption that they did not get injured in their big moments (Zayn v Cena US Title Open Challenge shoulder injury, Finn Balor Summerslam Universal win shoulder injury).
Adam's booking makes me so excited for what WWE can give us.....and then reality settles back in and scoffs at me for wanting nice things.
Not gonna lie... in the build to Kofi's win, having the Usos forfeit their match with the New Day... that was one of the coolest things I've ever seen two men do in a wrestling ring, and I've watched Edge make me believe a man could fly.
Was watching Adam's Jinder Mahal video again when this came out and then started watching this. I swear I ain't obsessed with Adam.... I think....
Heyy, he finally did it!! I’ve been hoping for this one for a while, glad to see it happen.
WWE elevated a guy to main event status, who everyone loved, who people wanted to see there, who fit in that top slot in the fans' eyes, who everyone agreed had demonstrably earned it...
And then they chucked it down the drain... because who needs people who can draw? Right?
And then, sure, why not release Braun and Bray and stick your fingers in your ears whenever anyone points out that your ratings are in the toilet, and that the big Networks aren't going to be desperate to renew your contract if they realise they'll get higher views from repeats of 'Cops On Camera,' or some other trash...
Trust me, Lesnar will always draw way more than Kofi. As much as I like Kofi and absolutely loved his moment at Mania 35, he just never looked like a top guy. Him still being all New Day and not his own character definitely ruined things and he just never had an interesting feud even against guys like Owens, Joe, Orton so you know who's the problem.
@@apocrypha5363 except that's not true... RAW and Smackdown are nearly always #1 on TV during the week lol
@@apocrypha5363 Kofi doesn't Draw... New Day draws. But Kofi himself doesn't.
I was expecting "How about Cain Valesquez? He's a pretty big puppy."
Excellent booking as normal, Blampied! Going to throw in the idea of rebooking EC3's NXT run as I think there was a lot of potential in him that ultimately didn't get used!
"In one sense i understand, ryanair doesnt do refunds; but also..." i s c r e a m e d
That's some big JC energy
Here's an idea for a booking video:
How Adam Would Book The Forbidden Door
Maybe down the line, since it still is kind of happening, but not to the extent that everyone thought it would be (especially with the recent news of IMPACT and AEW ending their partnership). That ending to Dynamite where Omega and Callis excaped the arena to tell everyone to tune in on IMPACT was insane. KENTA showing up on Dynamite was mindblowing. But really, while the few crossovers were great, there weren't that much world shattering stuff that we would expect from this huge thing. At least not yet. (Admittedly, things are very limited due to the pandemic that has been going on, but still.)
Or maybe, since that is still technically going on, why not do Kenny Omega: Belt Collector? More fitting with the IMPACT news I mentioned. That just kind of fizzled away quietly with Cage winning the IMPACT title on Rampage, and then everyone just talke about Punk, thenCole and Danielson. They did alright, but there could have been sooooo much more to it. Rich Swann didn't even appear on AEW once.
Two suggestions, a bit of a change of pace since you won't have to turn absolute garbage into gold. You just have to take something that is somehow just alright, but could have been legendary.
This booking was epic, Adam! Great work! Also, I have a bit of a challenging booking for you.. how would you book the return of Shawn Michaels at Crown Jewel? I know the realistic answer...don't let him do it, but if it absolutely HAD to happen, is there a way to do it that wouldn't leave such a bad taste in our gobs?
The worst parts of Kofi-Mania were how it ended. 1. It was a mediocre title reign. Fine, many superstars have had "not as good as they could have been" title reigns. 2. One move in 8 seconds. If they had a good (Brock playing with his food but gets surprised when they actually put up a fight but wins in the end) match I don't think people would have minded as much. 3. He never showed interest in the championship again... Like, why? Why wouldn't someone want to be the top champion? Why wouldn't he want to have another crowning moment like at Mania?
It should've been similar to Daniel Bryan vs Brock Lesnar cause Brock can make a underdog baby face look like a legit threat even when Brock goes over.
And this is why if I ever had a wrestling promotion, you would be on the booking committee OR the head booker. Well done sir.
Why was this privated?
I was in attendance at that Toledo Smackdown that heralded the start of Kofimania. It was amazing seeing Kofi just hang in there superstar after superstar. The crowd was popped
best part about Adam on PFK? Half an hour of How He'd book
Kofimani was so great Kofi was the wrestler that really got me into wresting when I was younger
The kofi ziggler cage match was a baller and i wont let anyone tell me otherwise.
My biggest problem with the Kofi losing to Brock was the aftermath of it, he didn't get a rematch for the WWE Title, he didn't even try to get another opportunity for it. He basically reverted back to what he was doing before Kofimania even happened and to this day I'd never gotten over that.
Not even more singles runs, a mean streak or the slightest character progression
@@MrGanjie Yes, I would have accepted that as well, but nothing happened. No character change, no heel turn, nothing.
Great video, how about The Awesome Truth next 🤣🤣
Orr… re-book an entire card like WrestleMania 27?
The New Day vs Daniel Bryan & FTR is something I never knew I needed
this should have been the shortest "booking" video ever. kofimania was built perfectly.
Start of video: Don't let your Champion get squashed!
End of video
I was watching this when it just came out and then it got put on Private. It's here now again. Anyone know what happened or what differences are there?
Suggestion: Vader's WWE run. Might need to keep the whole aborted trilogy with Shawn in place, but given his AJPW run, you know he had enough in the tank to do more than they used him for after that.
I know hindsight's 20/20, but man it bewilders me that this isn't how kofi was booked for real. Every storyline you presented MADE SENSE. I especially loved the randy orton bit.
I got a better idea. Don’t give Lesnar the belt at all.
I have a small list of things I would like too see maybe give old Adam a challenge
1.The end of WCW
2. AJ's TNA departure
3. Hot Rod in WCW
4. The Re-Birth of ROH
I know number hasn't happened yet but.....
Wwe takes the stars we love
Uses them properly a few times
Forgets they exist
The end
Would love your take on RVD duel WWE/ECW title run that wasnt cut short
In fairness to Ziggles, his "Angel of Death" status is a result of booking. Perhaps he should take "Angel of Death" on as a nickname. It'd go well with his look.
Speaking of which, you could still slot him in the Saudi Match. You still get Kingston Vs. Ziggler, but it's a one-and-done in this case.
Few ideas:
- How Adam Would Have Booked Eddie Guerrero's WWE Championship Reign.
- How Adam Would Have Booked Cesaro after Andre Battle Royal.
- How Adam Would Have Booked I'm Your Papi (Dominik Mysterio as Eddie's son).
- How Adam Would Have Booked Triple H's Undisputed Championship Reign in 2002.
AWESOME booking! Kofi should've been booked way better throughout 2019 in general, and this made me sad that this wasn't the route they went with.
Oli: I'm the Fantasy Booking Champion
Adam: Hold my BOLLOCKS!
The original NWO. I need that booking. You can do it better that WCW. Pleaseeeeee
2 suggestions for future booking ideas:
- how WWE should've booked the debut of Demon Finn Balor
- how AEW should book their version of a royal rumble
People can say WWE never wanted this. They started KofiMania with that gauntlet
I'm just relieved it happened Kofi deserved to run with the WWE championship and I'm glad he got one
Suggestion: How Adam Would Book Undertaker’s Streak
Just rebook almost the entirety of Undertaker’s streak and take out the bad and replace it with who SHOULD have faced Taker that Mania, and how the stories would play out.
we need to appriciate koffi's work a little more i think
I have a weird idea.
Imagine your only instruction is as follows:
Create a storyline for a MANAGER. Starting in NXT and moving on to the Main Roster. Remember, the goal would be to get over the manager predominantly.
Adam, i still remember that you didn't really book RETRIBUTION. You just booked an NXT invasion. We demand a proper RETRIBUTION booking, which means you must use all the RETRIBUTION members and not use other NXT or former wrestlers as a cop out.
My one takeaway from this is that we should all absolutely go on holiday with Cain Valasquez
A 30-minute Adam Blampied extravaganza.
"No! No!"(Rolls up newspaper)
"Off the sofa!
What are yo-? Oh, no, put that down, now!
Let go! Let go, Velazquez!"
Giving Lesnar the win is not a shame, he is the most legitimate superstar in the roster ! Great job Adam that was fantastic
Damn I was surprised Adam did this one. Plus I didn’t realize Kofi didn’t headline as the champ on one PPV despite his face all over the posters. Wow.
Please rebook the ascension's main roster run. It's all I ask.
I heard the Paul Heyman promo in his voice. It’s the perfect choice of dialogue that Heyman would actually say. Bravo.
"and many gauntlet matches later..."
And tell us Adam, how many tournaments have you fantasy booked
I kid of course 😂
Can't wait to see Adam vs Davis in the next fantasy booking warfare. Adam for the win but it's gonna be close.
WAIT!
ADAM!
Why would Ali attempt to give Kofi a concussion when doing so would take Kofi out of competition therefore preventing Ali from reaching his goal?
How about this one. Re book gregory helms cruiserweight title reign. Its a good run with good matches that ends on a super flat note. He held the belt for a year and came the closest to making it mean somthing
I thought holding off KO until Summerslam would have been the money play. He’s taking Big E’s spot because of injury, even sell merch with Owens with Kofi and Woods, with Big E pushed to the back (limited run, make them rare). Ali feud absolutely should have happened. Daniel Bryan lashing out and staying heel was the right move, Orton match is a 1 match, definitive finish.
The Royal Rumble was the right change too
10:53 Yes! The fact that there are people… actual “PEOPLE” who enjoyed Jinder’s title run make me embarrassed to be a wrestling fan. It’s the equivalent of saying the Katie Vick segment was a genius idea. 🤦🏻♂️
Welp, Adam. The time has come. Now more than ever, we need "How Adam would have booked Keith Lee in the main roster".
Kofi was the headliner for the lowest drawing MSG tv taping of all time even with the Undertaker added last min to try and help.
A new Fantasy Booking video AND a new Blood On The Clocktower on you No Rolls Barred channel? Love ya, Adam 😀👍❤
That last match's end was gut wrenchingly great
Kofi Kingston and Brock should of face off in a Last Man Standing Match. Kofi keeps getting up atill he just falls down. The New Day help him to the back. For a whole month we don't see Kofi then he comes back does all The New Day stuff. Then at TLC he wins a number 1 contender ship ladder match against KO Sami and Finn and Seth. Kofi goes on to face Brock Lesnar wins setting up the third match at wrestlemania which is a false count anywhere matcg which Kofi wins. The Smackdown following WrestleMania Samoa Joe challenges Kofi for his title Kofi excepts and Samoa Joe wins the belt.
Video Idea: How Billy Gunn eventually "retires" in AEW and the Gunn Club move from Dark into the mid-card
Tone down the worst New Day comedic excesses and do not have your WWE champion squashed in three seconds on TV, Lesnar beating Kofi is more than viable but at least give him a grain of credibility on the way out.
adam I have some booking ideas maybe:
- Jeff Hardy final run
- re book undertaker post wrestlemania 30
- triple h retirement
- Chris Jericho undisputed championship
- John Cena as a heel (you always book the hell turn but not the run)
- ddp run in wwe
- edge return
- jon moxley return to wwe
How Adam should book:
-The club vs Undisputed ERA
-A Brock Lesnar face run
-WCW winning the Monday night war
-The Shield Breakup with Dean or Roman being the betrayer
Was literally in the middle of watching this video when it disappeared. Glad it's back
Book The Bucks vs FTR in AEW. That's the one huge feud that AEW did badly.
This!!
Remember how New Day, for one episode, was like "Kofi wtf is wrong with you?" after he lost the title, and that entire storyline disappeared?
What happened, there?
Booking a card of all those fired over the last year or so I would call it Nevermore. Everyone as they were when they were fired
11:45 is when the booking starts just in case everyone wants to see that urgently like I did.
Kofimania is my personal favorite mania moment, and maybe live wrestling moment overall, so thank you for this
First off amazing booking as always and suggestion: even tho WWE clearly didn’t care about it I was actually kinda hype for it, so could you please book a proper Queen of the Ring tournament
You know what I’ve always wanted to see Adam book? Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Heel run. Not the turn itself but the run itself. I get why it didn’t happen. The Invasion was in full swing but if they were to hold off on that for a year they could have got something new and interesting on a heel Stone Cold. Plus we wouldn’t get a weeping Stone Cold with an Adam booking.
Id love to see a rebooking of some older stuff like Macho Man vs Dusty Rhodes, or Hogan vs Flair at Mania 8, but im sure there isnt enough content to book them with haha.
Soooooo how about rebooking Smackdown during JBL's championship reign time period, but without jbl as champion? Might be a better way to word that.
Hey Adam, I think you should just book the next year of the WWE Tag scene. Just give us something to pretend that these talents might get to do
