Wyld Samurai Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 What if Shawn didn't lose his smile leading up to WM13? We'd get the WM12 rematch... but what about Austin? Or even The Undertaker? I doubt we'd even have had The Hart Foundation angle without that double turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gets the WCW World Title? Would Vince even bother with an Invasion angle at that point? A far-fetched what if but what if the XFL is able to compete with the NFL or at least very successful? Does Vince turn all of his attention to that and let someone else run the WWF? The XFL was never going to compete with the NFL. At best it would be like the AFL (arena) where it fits that spring/summer dead zone of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never felt like they were trying to replace the NFL, just fill in the gap during the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we still get to Hart/Austin because there were only so many options at the top of the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gets the WCW World Title? Would Vince even bother with an Invasion angle at that point? For potential World Champions for the WCW InVasion (since it would likely happen anyway)- Lance Storm was a big name upper midcarder who seemed to be on the rise in 2000 (and likely in 2001), and he was the biggest name in the WCW 24 and the only one who you could say "Yeah, I could see him possibly getting a WCW World Title reign in the next 2 years if WCW had lived", so he would have been most likely to win the WCW Title for the InVasion. Likewise, if Vince was planning to bring ECW into the InVasion from the beginning, having Mike Awesome win the title would have been a "WTF?" move for WCW at the time- but would make perfect sense for him to lead the inVasion and debut "yes, Rhyno was the ECW World Champion when they died" to start that off and get at least one PPV match out of it.

Happ Hazzard Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 If the WWWF had had a Ali vs Bruno match at Shea Stadium, with CCTV coverage throughout all the territories, how would it have done compared to the Ali vs Inoki match that happened in reality?

Wyld Samurai Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 It would have smoked Ali vs Inoki. Bruno was a pretty big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
