Ok, this is for RD, but anyone else can answer. What do you think would happen if you went back to when Bischoff was just starting to run WCW, and gave him a copy of The Death of WCW? And you know, some proof that you really are from the future so he'll have to believe you (like some sports scores for the following day).
Personally, I think we'd not only still see WCW today, I think we wouldn't see WWF/E. If Bisch or whoever ended up in charge had the blueprint laid out in that book, there would be no way the WWE braintrust they have now could compete. Furthermore, there would have been no Austin/McMahon as WCW wouldn't be so quick to fire him. There would be no Monday night wars, but we might have a giant wrestling conglamerte that put on better shows than the WWE currently does.

Well, considering that Bisch was so arrogant when WCW was at it's peak that he wouldn't talk to people under a certain spot on the card, I find it hard to believe that he would listen to you no matter what proof you offered.
I also believe that he would be so confident about his way that he would keep on it no matter what.
But I could be inclined to think he'd go out of his way to do whatever it would take to hurt Vince.

First of all, if I had a time machine (DeLorean) Eric Bischoff and WCW would be the last of my worries.
But, since you asked so nicely. I would give te book to Vince around 96-97 when WCW was killing WWF in the ratings and prove to him that in the end he'll win the battle.
Why would I want to try to save WCW for? Erics', Russo's, and others stupid mistakes lead to a great book by RD and Alvarez, and some great moments in the company before closing. (I love the bad things everyone else hates).

If I could take the Death of WCW book back in time, I'd give it to DDP. This way he could be warned that Dave Arquette would be turning on him in the triple cage match.

I'd give the book to Scott Hall, and then he could splash water in his eyes and do the Wayne's World Oscar clip... "I... never... learned to read!"

Well, first of all, before I gave him the book, I'm sure upon seeing the time machine appear he would think what a cool entrance and sign me to a fat contract. Then he'd probably have me beat up by the nWo or some stupid angle like that then they'd steal the time machine and bring back, Atilla the Hun in an nWo shirt because as we all know WCW was just a big nWo angle at the time.

I'm sure Bischoff would just laugh at me, and be convinced that he knows better than some goof from the future. A lot of WCW's problems were evident right before his eyes, and he did nothing to stop them. Trust me, a Nostradumbass from the future wouldn't help him. RD |

If I actually had a time machine that would take me back to the hey day of WCW, I'd reveal to everyone:
In future Dusty Rhodes is not the president of the United States.

I'd say, "Screw Bischoff" and make damn sure Owen Hart never reached the Over the Edge PPV. I'd do whatever it took to keep him alive today.

Well, after I kill the guy who came up with the concept of war, convince Graham Chapman to stop smoking (god rest his soul), and make sure RD Reynolds becomes President of the United States, I'll figure something out.

It's more about who I wouldn't give the book to, really

Another plan would be to "tweak" the book slightly to reveal that Steph becomes the greatest booker in all of wrestling and then use this to flatter her and convince her to marry me. Then, I'd squash Hunter over and over again. ;D

The only problem with that idea is that the concept of war was inevitable due to the natural rising anger and need for dominance in humanity

No, you could still have the natural desire for dominance in humanity. Just replace war with "bra and panties" matches!

I'd convince Vince to keep Stephanie away from the wrestlers.

1. Warn Brian Pillman about his early and sudden demise
2. Warn Owen Hart about the fall at Over The Edge 1999
