    Pt 2) Wrestlemania 27 --> Wrestlemania 28

    Click for Spoiler:
    After Slater's loss at Wrestlemania, he began a feud with former Nexus Stablemate Justin Gabriel. This would lead to an Extreme Rules match at Extreme Rules. Gabriel and Slater both bled hard in the match, but Slater went over with a Playmaker onto a Chair.

    Title Changes/Defences @ Extreme Rules:

    TT
    Cryme Time def. Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlof (c)

    US
    Kane def. CM Punk (c)

    WWE
    Miz (c) def. Wade Barrett and Randy Orton

    IC
    Kofi Kingston (c) def. Darren Young

    World
    Christian def. Alberto Del Rio for the Vacant Title

    Throughout the next few weeks, Slater and Gabriel traded wins, before Over The Limit rolled around. Slater would go over in the blowoff to the feud.

    Title Changes:
    Daniel Bryan def. Kane for the US Title (Raw)
    Skip Sheffield def. Daniel Bryan for the US Title (Over The Limit)
    John Cena def. The Miz for the WWE Title (Over The Limit)
    Big Show and Ezekiel Jackson def. Cryme Time for the TT titles (Smackdown)
    Layla def. Brie Bella for the Divas Championship (Smackdown)
    Sheamus def. Kofi Kingston for the IC Title (Over The Limit)
    Randy Orton def. Christian for the World Title (Smackdown)

    Slater and Gabriel's grudge feud ended, and Slater mainly stayed to the Midcard. At Capitol Punishment, he won a Dark Match against Dolph Ziggler with a Roll-Up. And at MITB, he qualified for the Raw MITB, which he would replace Del Rio, who would face Skip Sheffield for the US Title. Slater would go on to Lose the MITB, but Evan Bourne won instead. Bourne would attempt to cash in against Punk after the Main Event, but Punk managed to knock Bourne out with a GTS. Slater would then come out and steal the MITB from Bourne, which would lead to a match at Summerslam. Slater would defeat Bourne to win the MITB.

    At Night Of Champions, Briefcase v Briefcase insued as Bryan and Slater faced off against each other. Bryan would pull a victory out from under Slater, seemingly ending his night.

    In the main event of Punk v HHH v Cena, Slater cashed in the MITB. He would cover Cena for the victory, stunning the world. Heath Slater was WWE Champion.

    In the weeks coming up to HIAC, Ryder had formed an Alliance with Slater, and the two joined forces with John Cena. This would lead to 2 3v3 matches against CM Punk, Alberto Del Rio, and Triple H. And in HIAC, it would be Slater, Cena, Punk, Del Rio, and HHH all in a HIAC Match. Slater would pin Del Rio after 34 minutes of action to retain.

    In the weeks coming to HIAC, Ryder and Slater began to feud with Air Boom for the TT Titles, which lead to Slater having two matches at Vengence. HHH would take on Punk in a Loser Leaves WWE Match, which Punk won. Ryder and Slater beat Air Boom for the TT Titles, but he still had one more match to go. He would go 1 on 1 with John Cena in the Main Event. Slater would pull a win out from under Cena.

    At Survivor Series, we were given Team Slater (Heath Slater, Zack Ryder, John Morrison, Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, and Jinder Mahal) vs Team Punk (Wade Barrett, CM Punk, Ryback, Mason Ryan, Randy Orton, Sin Cara)

    Team Punk would end up winning the match, with Punk last pinning Slater. This would set up for TLC. In the weeks leading up to TLC, Ryder suffered an injury, forcing Slater to 'Relinquish the TT Titles' Slater would instead grant the TT Titles to fellow 3MB Mates McIntyre and Mahal. At TLC, Punk would pin Slater to gain the WWE Title Again.

    At the RR, Slater would fail to regain the WWE Championship, but entered the RR. He would make his way to the final 4, eliminating Randy Orton before Chris Jericho eliminated him.

    At Elimination Chamber, Slater entered the World Heavyweight Championship EC. The competitors were

    Daniel Bryan (c), Heath Slater, Randy Orton, Wade Barrett, Santino Marella, and Cody Rhodes.

    Slater and Bryan kicked off the match, with Slater eliminating Marella and Rhodes. Bryan would eliminate Orton and Barrett eliminated Slater. Bryan would go on to pin Barrett to retain his title.

    At Wrestlemania, Slater took on Santino Marella, Justin Gabriel, The Great Khali, and Ryback for Marella's US Championship. Slater would go on to lose the match after Marella pinned Khali. After the match when Slater was walking up the ramp, you could hear a Gong Hit. And then Silence

    We were all there on that fateful day, slightly excited but mostly bewildered.

    The WWF announced that they were establishing the Brawl for All tournament, without much in the way of explanation.

    As I remember it, I was 15 and thought to myself "Okay, so, they're doing a separate King of the Ring?". I started to wonder and came to the conclusion that the WWF was trying to leach off of the success of the now mainstream UFC tournaments, by showing off their cast of shoot fighter gimmicks in scripted bouts. We all know the inspiration and circumstances these days, Vince Russo basically just wanted to prove to JBL that he wasn't as tough as he claimed to be. Apparently Vince Russo still had a shred of credibility to his name, so the WWF took his ridiculous proposal and turned it into a full blown toughman contest with the hope that maybe some guy that the higher ups favored could break through the pack and get favorable booking as a reward.

    Jim Ross apparently had full faith that his good friend Steven Williams would annihilate the competition, with discussions taking place prior to the tournament of a feud between Dr. Death Steve Williams and perennial favorite Stone Cold Steve Austin if Dr. Death could stomp his way to a victory.

    So, yeah, you get my drift.

    What if Dr. Death Steve Williams had won the Brawl for All Tournament?

    Click for Spoiler:
    Who really knows what the WWF would have done in that situation? Maybe they would have gone big as Jim Ross had likely hoped they would, or maybe they would have let the memory of the tournament mutate into the caricature of terrible decision making that it exists as today.

    I'm branching out pretty far into eyebrow raising lunacy here, but bear with me.

    So, prior to the tournament, Jim meets with Steve and rightfully predicts that the rules of the tournament will change as the tournament progresses to a more "stand up and fight" style of combat. Steve trains hard in kick-boxing with a focus on endurance, and in doing so he exercises his joints and cardio to a point where he can easily endure 5 rounds of fighting without breaking a sweat.

    Dr. Death easily obliterates Pierre in Dr. Death's first match of the tournament, knocking out his opponent in 15 seconds. In doing so, Jim has another epiphany. Jim calls up Terry Gordy and Stan Hansen, and asks them simply to be Dr. Death's cornermen in the next rounds of the tournament.

    Dr. Death cuts documentary style promos indicating that he's a regular family man, until he enters the ring. He explains that something bad takes over, and that Steve Williams truly becomes Dr. Death. Steve is shown sparring and training with Terry and Stan. At one point Terry says "Miracle Violence baby, Miracle Violence." while encouraging Steve to show no mercy against an unfortunate unnamed sparring partner. Stan explains that Steve is the toughest son of a bitch he's ever seen, and that he says a prayer for Steve's opponents before every match.

    Steve enters his match with Bart Gunn, and it's one for the ages. Bart throws precise haymakers, with a few connecting which results in a first round knockdown of Steve just before the bell. Steve is in his corner, and Stan (on camera) screams at him "YOU'RE GOING TO LET A GREENHORN GEEK BEAT YOU UP!?" before slapping his face hard. Terry massages Steve's shoulders saying "Miracle Violence baby!" repeatedly. Steve focuses, and begins to fight more carefully and defensively. The entire second round consists of Steve baiting Bart into gassing himself by dodging and blocking everything that's thrown, with ten seconds left in the round Steve is able to grab Bart by the waist and slam him down to the mat hard on his ribs. The round ends, and Stan gets back in Steve's face to scream more motivational ideas at him. In the third round, Steve rightfully expects a flurry of wild punches from Bart and backtracks strategically before throwing a wild but precise punch of his own, landing an overhead right that makes direct contact with Bart's head and knocks his lifeless body to the mat. Bart is able to recover as Dr. Death is being celebrated for his impressive performance and big win, and he hugs his opponent to show good sportsmanship. During the celebration, Terry Gordy takes the mic and shouts "WE ARE THE BEST IN THIS ENTIRE BUSINESS, US THREE RIGHT HERE! WE ARE THE MIRACLE VIOLENCE CONNECTION!"

    Promos are run hyping up the reimagined Miracle Violence Connection in the WWF, with clips of matches from Japan depicting the former tag team. Godfather is treated by the bookers as a sacrificial lamb of sorts. He's not allowed the same level of hype going into his tournament match with Dr. Death. Prior to the match, Godfather cuts a promo (at the encouragement of Vince Russo and Jim Ross) where he'd be willing to let Dr. Death forfeit the match and take one of his lovely "hoes" for a good time. Steve looks enraged, and he takes a mic before saying "My wife and six year old son are at home watching this, they look me in the eyes knowing that I'm a good husband and father. You want to exploit women? I'm going to love every second that I get to beat your ass!". The match starts, and Dr. Death fakes a hook and throws a hard uppercut that has Godfather wobble backward into the ropes. Dr. Death pursues Godfather, and knocks him senseless with hard rights and lefts until Godfather is unable to respond while lying on the mat with a dazed look. Stan and Terry calm Dr. Death down, and Stan cuts a promo in the ring. Stan says "Do you see now what we mean? This man is a man who loves his country, his profession, but most importantly he loves his family. He doesn't spend a dime on himself, and if you get between this man and his morals by acting like a damn fool then you're going to find out what the Miracle Violence Connection is all about!" Terry then leans over the mic saying "We got some bad bad boys in our way, and Bradshaw, this man is going to take you to the damn woodshed!"

    Backstage, Vince and Jim meet with Bradshaw to encourage him to stay in the tournament. Bradshaw is noticibly shaken, but agrees to remain in the tournament so that it won't be undermined by a forfeit from a finals participant. Both men are promised a huge pay day simply for participating, and the match is held on the main card of Summerslam 1998. Documentary promos are granted to both men, with interviews from wrestlers indicating why they support either man. Undertaker talks up Bradshaw's toughness and tenacity, while Stan Hansen tells stories of how Dr. Death ruled Japan during his time wrestling overseas. Judges are introduced, consisting of Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, and Bas Rutten. The two men are introduced with large pageantry, Marc Mero, Bart Gunn, and Dan Severn are now in Bradshaw's corner to even the star power of the cornermen. When the match begins, Dr. Death and Bradshaw put on an absolute clinic. Both men display strong cardio and defensive skills. Dr. Death is unable to take down Bradshaw, as Bradshaw had made it a point of learning good take down defenses. Bradshaw is unable to score a knock-out punch as Dr. Death has become very elusive and extremely tough even if a punch does land. Five rounds are fought, and in the end both men are standing. The judges decision is announced, that the match is considered a draw as both men have been found by all three judges to have earned a draw. Vince McMahon comes out and congradulates both men, to very loud boos from the audience. Vince, still holding the mic, spontaneously announces "This tournament will have a clear and decisive winner! This is the Brawl for All, and if you really want it all, you've got to take it! These two men will fight one more round under sudden death rules! That round doesn't end, until only one man is conscious!"

    Bradshaw fights wildly, falsely assuming that Dr. Death is gassed. Dr. Death manages to snatch Bradshaw in a keylock submission, and snaps Bradshaw's arm as Bradshaw fights hard to escape the hold. Dr. Death is declared the winner, and welcome controversy follows due to the grizzly nature of Bradshaw's injury.

    Dr. Death is now regarded as the absolute most dangerous man in professional wrestling, and Bradshaw is granted a huge payoff for his part which motivates him to remain in professional wrestling.

    Dr. Death is granted an angle where he and his stable feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin, where Dr. Death and Steve Austin wrestle in the climax of that angle in the main event of Wrestlemania 15.
