Johnny Sorrow Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I've never bought the "humiliate Dusty" stuff. Tons of mic time, awesome entrance music, decent push for a 40+ year old guy. If Vince wanted to bury him, he would have. Or he would have never brought him in in the first place.Dusty himself has said that Vince told him to have fun, and leave behind all the stress of running a company. And that he did at first feel that the polka dots were intended to be a rib , but he said "Have you seen the shit I wore in the Seventies? I'll get the polka dots over." And he did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I always figured ECW just wanted to bring Angle in to give Taz another win over a "legit" guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Dusty had more charisma per pound than basically all but a few wrestlers in history, so he could get just about anything over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenalysis Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 One what if- what if Kerry,Kevin, and David Von Erich all got caught by the Texas Cops with enough drugs to land them each in prison for 5 years? I assume their careers could recover, but World Class wouldn't, and might save some lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume their careers could recover, but World Class wouldn't, and might save some lives. We would have had Lance, Klaus and Rick Von Erich a lot sooner. Fritz would have pinned the Freebirds with planting the contraband on his boys, and take up mail in donations from fans in order to fund the boys appeal and attorneys fees. This would have initiated the genesis of what Kickstarter would later become. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Bugg Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 What if Lex Luger would've been booked to pin Yoko at Summerslam '93 for the WWF title instead of the shitty countout finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlk23 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Bruce Pritchard had an interesting what if during his Guest Book interview on a big star coming to WWF in late 1997, early 1998 that I had never heard before. He says talks were serious, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 RVD was supposed to turn eventually right? Probably hurts Edge's push, he really benefitted from that feud. He doesn't main event SummerSlam, though he still seemed destined to ascend to the main event scene. I think the arrest hurt Sabu more, he wasn't sticking around out of usefulness as much as he was because he was an ECW guy. Sabu only intended to stay long enough to work one Mania and get his uncle in the HOF. The arrest helped him with Vince because Sabu took full responsibility and Vince respected that.

tlk23 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 He says Hogan's contract was up and there was talk of bringing him back at the end of '97, start of '98. I'd like to know when his contract was up and if it was up before Starrcade '97. Do you run Hogan vs. Austin with Tyson at WM? Where does Shawn Michaels fit in? Who has the title?

Spontaneous Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Well let's assume he comes back for the start of 1998, you still do Michaels retiring after the Austin match and maybe have Hogan return at Wrestlemania, with plans for either SummerSlam 1998 or Wrestlemania XV to run that match. WMXV could have used something to make it interesting if not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlk23 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 JYD would have been 45 in 1997 and hadn't regularly wrestled in 5 or 6 years. He was finished by the time 1990 came around. Out of shape. He would have been of no use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
