I see three possibilities:

1) two dudes throw stairs at each other until one of them falls over

2) stairlift race across the arena

3) stairclimber machine competition, first guy to pass out loses

How many spots can you do with stairs? Nothing with stairs is a definitive end like breaking a table and there's endless things you can do with ladders and chairs, but stairs? You chuck them at a dude, you chuck a dude into them, you slam a head or limb on them, you drop them on someone...?

Legit would rather watch that than a Big Show/Rowan match. Just two huge dudes getting blown the gently caress up and their cardio exposed, crying and turning red and sweating and trying to just last one...step...longer than their opponent. With some music and truck-monkey magic you could probably make that great.

I think Bray's problem is that he's a poorly booked 90s Undertaker. He could come out and promo every match if he was booked like the killer Taker was.

If Bray was used as a more dominant monster of a character it would absolutely help. That promo style can be foreboding/powerful if there's any actual sense of danger for whoever he's feuding with. Of course as soon as he's trading losses and failing in key angles and feuds, like the rest of the midcard, it starts to feel pointless.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

He's been dead since Wrestlemania, and the lovely thing is *that* was their big chance to make a megastar out of him. Everything from the promo package to the entrance to the reaction set it up so pretty much anything except a clean Cena win would have set that dude for life.

Then it was a clean Cena win. And another one. And a match where Bray technically won but it was after ten minutes of Cena kicking his rear end all over a cage. Then another one.

His catchphrase these days is literally saying to his opponent they're going "face to face with the man who runs this place," so I think he's firmly ensconced as The Man to beat, everyone who helped him on his journey be damned.

Maybe a stairs match is a match where you can only pin/submit your opponent on the stairs? That could lead to some interesting spots and sequences ahahahah who am I kidding it's going to be a milquetoast "hardcore" match where the only weapon allowed is a set of loving stairs.

For the longest time, one guy used to erase the article for each numbered UFC event because he doesn't like MMA so it's not important information. It made finding information about cards quickly and easily a pain.

"Zach Ryder and Curt Hawkins" was a single shared article long after the team broke up and Ryder's stuff started gaining traction. I don't edit but I imagine all sections of wiki have their weirdos who are passively tolerated as long as they do grunt work.
