Cashing advance for Wrestlemania could work. Also maybe someone wins it and then goes off on hiatus like how Jericho did and then come back as a shock to cash in.

I always had this idea very similar to yours, to re-brand it as a year-long gauntlet type scenario. Going by a WM-WM year over year idea, the briefcase needs to be defended monthly with the stip that if the original winner is still in possession by the next WM he automatically gets a shot.
I'm hoping people bare with me... I have a WWE: Way It Should've Gone booker that began November 2015 as if Rollins never tore his ACL and gave up the world title. It's at SummerSlam 2018 right now, but attempted to move it over here at WrestleMania. That never happened and I just haven't found motivation to write.
That's changing. I'm just moving everything over in one large swoop. I hope people check it out. If not, no biggie. But I just need to get everything over here so (a) I don't lose it and (b) get me back to the point I was and can have the motivation to write SummerSlam.

I have no problems whatsoever with that sort of thing.
I mean in the end BTBs are basically fan-fiction and except for those rebooking-BTBs that are about staying as close to reality as possible, I don't see why it would be "in poor taste".... as long as you aren't doing something like building a storyline around the real life cause of death of the person (like for example Owen accident happens, but he survives and you make a story about how someone tried to kill him, or something like that)
That, of course, is just my two cents about the whole subject though and I'm someone who has the itch and idea about doing a BTB with a roster made entirely out of gone Wrestlers in the back of his head for SO many years now.

That's how it starts!it took a dangerously short amount of time for me to go from “i have an idea”
to “i have a year of supercards and two months of tv booked in a spread sheet”
I caught up to where I was writing my WISG booker. In summer 2018 right before SummerSlam.
I'm really proud of the Edge return angle I booked for that year's card and finally posted that go-home episode of Smackdown.
If BTBs are your thing, go read some of that stuff with Edge/Christian the last few weeks and share if you liked it (or keep it to yourself if you didn't haha).
I'll post an official SummerSlam prediction card this week and start writing as I find some spare time.

Been watching quite a bit of Impact from 2007 and it's got my creative juices flowing again...
Apologies for the fine folks who've been expecting updates for 2019 & Beyond -- the new gig, seven months in, is demanding as it is time-consuming, and I'm only now really learning how to wedge enough time to book. Luckily I've banked a lot of shows and I still have all my desires and imaginations in mind. So here's hoping to more posts and more fun.
