Okay, so for those of you who have been reading my WWF 1985 Re-Booking, you know that Hogan is out after breaking his leg.
If you have not, then please go check it out: http://cotg.proboards12.com/index.cgi?bo....ad=18538&page=1
So, the question is, what should Vince McMahon do, now that his worst nightmare has just happened! The options are:
1. Promote from within: Push someone to the top face position that is already on the roster and who could be a huge star--- It won't be Rusty Brooks..sorry.
2. Bring in an up and comer: Someone like Magnum TA, who was becoming a big star, but was not quite there yet.
3. Bring back a former star/champion: Backlund, Graham, etc.. Bring someone back who has been the top guy. This could include taking Pedro Morales out of a lesser role.
4. Raid another territory: Go into a smaller territory and take the top young talent and try to build that way.
5. Take the top star from another territory: Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, etc... one big star to replace Hogan.
Help me out with any opinions or thoughts...and, of course, your votes!

I voted for bringing in a former star/champion. Someone who can hold the belt proudly until Hulk gets better and wants his title back.

If you're going for what VKM would've done in 85...I'd say you go with a high card wrestler.Say like Sgt Slaughter, The Ultimate Warrior or The Macho Man Randy Savage.

If you're going to really be like VKM, sign the top talents from other promotions and make them go under because they don't have enough talent to keep the asses in the seats.

If I remember correctly, when Hogan was champ and was out in the past, Randy Savage defended the Heavyweight Belt for him. I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I would go with this if I were you.

I'd say bring in Savage. He's proven he's a guy that can lead an organization. Plus, he's one of my all time favorites!
