ARMDRAGON Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I had no idea Brad Garrett voiced Hogan in the Rock 'n' Wrestling cartoon. And Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince was JYD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 So last night I had a dream in which I was interviewing Vince, and the question I asked him was if there had been a War Games match during the Monday Night Wars pitting WCW against WWF, who would Vince have put on the WWF team? I woke up and decided this question was awesome, so I pose it to the board. I eagerly await Ben's post telling me how the Stud Stable will be involved. Also I should note that in my dream, after I asked this question, Vince punched me in the mouth for "asking a fucking hypothetical". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 What did their roster look like? I'm looking at a list that looks like this: http://renardo6.tripod.com/WWF.com/id12.html Al Snow Faarooq - WCW World Tag Team Champion Bradshaw - WCW World Tag Team Champion Big Boss Man - Out "The One" Billy Gunn Bull Buchanan Chris Benoit - WWF Champion Chris Jericho Chyna Crash Holly Dean Malenko Debra D-Von Dudley Bubba Ray Dudley Eddy Guerrero Edge Christian Essa Rios Gangrel - Out Goodfather Hardcore Holly Matt Hardy Jeff Hardy Haku Ivory Jacqueline Jerry Lynn Jim Ross - WWF Announcer Taka Michinoku Kane K-Kwik Kurt Angle - WWF Tag Team Champion Lilian Garcia - Ring Announcer Linda McMahon - CEO of WWFE Lita Mick Foley Molly Holly Paul Heyman - CEO of ECW Perry Saturn Raven Rhyno Rikishi Scotty 2 Hotty Shane McMahon - WCW Chairman Shawn Michaels -(Visiting) Spike Dudley Stephanie McMahon - ECW Chairman, WWF Women Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin - WWF Tag Team Champion Steve Blackman Steven Richards Tajiri Tazz Terri Runnels Test The Big Show The Rock - suspended The Undertaker Tori Triple H- Out with an injuried Trish Stratus Val Venis Vince McMahon - WWF Chairman William Regal - Commissioner of the WWF Albert Justin Credible X-Pac R.J. - out So Austin, Foley, Undertaker, and Angle. And with the guys they brought in from WCW they'd have to switch some dudes over to make it interesting, like Big Show and Jericho w/ Booker T and DDP. Or are you talking about pre-buyout? Because that's way more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I can't decide how I'd rather it be booked. If we mix up the faces and the heels on each team, you get this kind of drama as to who can work together with who. I feel like I'd rather have like a pure Face vs. Heel match. Like if the NWO jumped over and fucked with Austin, who are the faces he'd choose to have his back? Or if Heel Rock started calling out Sting on Nitro, who'd be cool to see with the Rock. He wrote "during the Monday Night Wars" so I think that answers your question. BLOCKED 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buy Me a Burrito Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I just read Bret Hart's book. It reminded me a lot of Bret's matches: technically sound, decent psychology and boring as fuck during the parts that are just about Bret. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 You could replace Nash with Bret, I can't imagine Nash not getting himself in a match like that. Nash was pretty good when properly motivated. I saw him take big bumps for guys like Rey and the Sandman in 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Austin has Hogan down with a stunner, DDP sneaks in and hits him with a cutter, Hogan drapes his arm over for the 1-2-3. Then we get the Diamond Cutter vs. Stunner feud that every 15 year old boy wanted at the time, before Austin gets his win back from Hogan in a one on one match at Wrestlemania.

You would need to have Rock in the Scorpion Deathlock to appease WCW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Beefcake still looks in pretty decent shape, and yet he's the one wrestling wearing a shirt. Austin has Hogan down with a stunner, DDP sneaks in and hits him with a cutter, Hogan drapes his arm over for the 1-2-3. Then we get the Diamond Cutter vs. Stunner feud that every 15 year old boy wanted at the time, before Austin gets his win back from Hogan in a one on one match at Wrestlemania. Vince masturbates furiously. No pins in War Games, it is submit or surrender. Well, there were in '98 but that was hands-down the worst War Games ever.

MORELOCK Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I love how Nash is the one that was called into question when Booker was a midcarder for the duration of the Monday Night Wars. Uh, Flair? Piper? Luger? Giant? You could assemble an entirely new team of people that belong there more than Booker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLaw Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 If this were to ever happen, you need to have the craziness it deserves. First, around August at Fall Brawl, you do a War Games match with Hogan, the Outsiders, Flair and Sting vs. Austin, Rock, HHH, and the New Age Outlaws. Goldberg, DDP or Bret interfere at the end, and Hogan pins Austin. Locker rooms empty out, massive chaos ensues, Austin is injured and put on the shelf. Then, instead of the Royal Rumble, you go with World War 3 in January. Three rings, 30 men from each company, every two minutes, another guy from each company enters the ring (we have separate locker rooms of course). Austin makes his return from injury and wins, eliminating whoever cost him the War Games match. He gets jumped at the end, locker rooms clear out, etc... At Wrestlemania, you debut a brand new match on the heels of War Games and World War 3: Armageddon. A War Games match spread out over three rings, World War 3 style. (If you want to get really crazy, you add the triple tower of doom or whatever it was to the cage). Same War Games teams as before, but you add Goldberg, DDP, and Bret to Team WCW and Foley, Big Show and Taker to Team WWF. Hall and Nash turn on Team WCW, revealing they were WWF sleeper agents all this time. Austin pins Hogan for the win. Following the match, Austin is again jumped, this time by the combined forces of the Outsiders and DX, who proceed to lay waste to everyone. Your story lines for the next year are the Kilq vs the World., eventually leading to next year's Wrestlemania, where you have Austin, Rock. Hogan, Flair, Sting, and Bret vs. HHH, Outsiders, NAO, and XPac. (Or Austin calls up an old friend and tells him to get their band back together, leading to a Stud Stable vs. the Kliq blowoff at Wrestlemania.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piper? Luger? Giant? You could assemble an entirely new team of people that belong there more than Booker. Someone has to bump and lose. The team I would want is Sting, Lex, Rey and Goldberg. I was looking at it from what WCW would put together. My WWF team would be Austin, Taker, Kane and Foley. A team of guys not likely to tap out ever.

MORELOCK Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I don't remember "assume 9 guys will refuse to submit" being part of the hypothetical situation. Booker never reached the level of most of the WCW main eventers, and he certainly was nowhere near it during the MNW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I said that was the I would want. If I were putting together a WWF team, those would be my guys. That or Blue Meanie, Taka Michinoku, Funaki and Big Show. Booker would be there to job. Or you could use Scott Hall, since he was a good sport about these things. But WCW did not seem to trust him at that point.And Booker was super over, don't kid yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I'm fantasy booking this at Fall Brawl '98 (september). This was during WWF's height as well as WCW's period of doing weird shitty things to try to get the audience back. Team WWF: Austin, Undertaker, Kane, Mankind Team WCW: Luger, Sting, Giant, DDP Giant gets taken out early, maybe a stretcher job or something. This acts as his last match in WCW before jumping ship to the WWF. Team WCW are outnumbered but valiantly fight a losing battle, until the WWF team turns on Austin at the end, leaving him to the mercy of team WCW. We end with Austin in the Scorpion Deathlock and he passes out ala the Bret match. the special guest referee, Eric Bischoff, calls for the bell, once again using the Montreal Screwjob as a finish.
