Fantasy Booking: World War 3 Re-Imagined With The Forbidden Door
In 1995, WCW came up with a new concept for a pay-per-view called World War 3. The setup for this pay-per-view happened because the WCW World Heavyweight Championship was vacated. What better way to crown a new champion then to have 3-ring Battle Royal with 60 competitors. Fast forward to present day where AEW, Impact Wrestling and New Japan are all doing business together and having talent crossover. To make this as even as possible, I broke the 60 competitors into four groups. There will be twenty competitors from AEW, fifteen from Impact Wrestling, fifteen from New Japan Pro Wrestling and ten wildcards from the independents and other promotions.
ALL ELITE WRESTLING
Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho, Cody Rhodes, Lance Archer, Sammy Guevara, Darby Allin, Eddie Kingston, MJF, Miro, PAC, Jungle Boy, Adam Page, Andrade, Brian Cage, Dustin Rhodes, Ethan Page, Ricky Starks, Colt Cabana, Orange Cassidy, and Powerhouse Hobbs
IMPACT WRESTLING
Josh Alexander, Moose, Trey Miguel, Jake Something, Rohit Raju, Chris Bey, Rhyno, Brian Myers, Matt Cardona, Matthew Rehwoldt, James Storm, Sami Callihan, Rich Swann, Willie Mack, and Eddie Edwards
New Japan Pro Wrestling
Jay White, Kota Ibushi, Tetsuya Naito, Zack Sabre Jr., Will Ospreay, Kazuchika Okada, KENTA, Yuji Nagata, Tomohiro Ishii, Toru Yano, Evil, Sanada, Robbie Eagles, Minoru Suzuki, and Jeff Cobb
Wildcards
Nick Aldis, Nick Gage, Jacob Fatu, Alex Hammerstone, Jay Lethal, Bully Ray, Davey Richards, Mance Warner, Danhausen and Tommy Vendetta(My personal pick)
The only change I would make is that there would be a random drawing to see which competitors end up in each ring. Obviously, there would be twenty spots for each ring. I would also keep the same rules that WCW had with the last 30 men entering one ring to determine the winner of the event. With the forbidden door being wide open, the possibility of an event like this could happen. If an event like this were to happen, who would you like see in a 60-Man Battle Royal from talent across these companies? Please let us know in the comments below.
