Everyone knows how the storyline panned out. The following week Ventura brings Andre and Heenan to the Pit and they challenge Hogan. But let's say it took a different turn and the fight that ALMOST happened this week wound up turning into an actual feud. Contrary to popular belief, Jesse Ventura did not completely retire from wrestling following his trip to the hospital in September of 1984. He actually wrestled semi-regularly well into 1986 before hanging up the boots for good just prior to Wrestlemania II. So having one more match with Piper wasn't completely out of the realm of possibility. How would you have booked the follow up? How would you have tied up the Piper/Adonis feud so this could happen? And would it have been better or worse than what really went down?
