... What if... Mankind and Vader won the Tag Titles at WM13 Nope. Interesting guess, though. "Original narrative style," eh? So, it will be like neither your usual stories (which present the storylines like one would normally see them playing out on TV), nor like your ones where you've presented it like in a retrospective wrestling article supplemented by fictional interviews (a la DX Invading Nitro and Montreal)? If so, what does that leave? "Original" would be the common style used in most of my stories ... Angle running over Austin ... Punk kidnapping the ROH Title ... Jericho's title run not being overturned ... that style. The other style would be the column/op-ed style from the D-X/Nitro and Montreal stories. Jed f'n Shaffer ~And no, I'm not going to say no even if you'd guess it. I'm a dumbass, not a douchebag.

1997...
What if.............um.............What If Vader doesn't suck?
I didn't watch WWF '97, so I'm stumped. Can you at least tell us if it'll be super awesome or just regular awesome?

So wait, if we do guess it, we get a pat on the head and a cookie? All right then.
Well, he needed results, so it's either something that subtly changes what happened, turning it into a much more interesting and creative story, OR it relies on timing issues, in terms of debuts, leavings etc.
Hmm...
What if... Cactus Jack debuted instead of Dude Love?
But I assure you, the level of awesomeness that this will contain will be dangerious levels of awesomeness, even if I have to go into denial and get locked up with my constant harping on about it.

What if the Undertaker defeated Bret Hart at Summerslam, when Bret declared he would never wrestle in the US again if he lost?
What if Shawn Michaels had not reffed the match fairly, because he had a similar stip?
What if Owen Hart had not piledriven Steve Austin?
Am I close?

Thing is, all of them are on the list, and Jed has said this is brand new.

I had an idea how to make the Re-writing the book that someone suggested where Austin-Bret at Mania 13 is for the title work.
You just have the refs refuse to overturn their decision, so he remains number one contender.
At Final Four after Shawn vacates the belt Sid takes Austin's place in the match. Bret wins it and then holds the belt till Mania.

WWF...in the summer/fall of 1997.
Well, as mrjl mentioned, that would be right around the time of the ones suggested earlier, with either Bret or Shawn being banished from wrestling in America if the Summerslam title match takes a different turn, or for Austin not being injured. He said it was a brand new story, but I don't know if that necessarily means it hadn't been brought up here before. It could just mean, like Jed said, it's a story that hasn't been posted anywhere else before that we're going to see for the first time.
You don't have to tell us anything more than what you don't want to, Jed, but if it's okay, care to answer that question of whether or not your idea has been brought up in this thread before?
Either of the "being banned from wrestling in America" What Ifs sound like they'd be pretty entertaining, so I'm all for them. Either one of them could've brought an interesting twist to the America vs. Canada angle if the only place where Bret or Shawn could be was at Canadian shows (for different reasons for both of them).

1997... What if.............um.............What If Vader doesn't suck? That implies Vader, at some point, sucked. He just wasn't used right was all. In my humble opinion, it'll be SUPER MEGA DELUXE awesome. More awesome then a Jessica Biel/Elisha Cuthbert lesbian make-out session ... but that's because I've been tossing around the idea for FIVE YEARS, so in my mind, this is huge. Your mileage may vary. Thing is, all of them are on the list, and Jed has said this is brand new. I mean "brand new" as in "never-before-posted on any other website". So stories on the master list count as new. What if the Undertaker defeated Bret Hart at Summerslam, when Bret declared he would never wrestle in the US again if he lost? Close enough. The precise terms of Bret's stipulation were if he failed to win the WWF Championship, and that's exactly what this one is about: him failing, and what happens from there. And before anyone asks, yes, Austin still gets Owen-drivered. Jed f'n Shaffer ~Damn you, you clever readers!

Awesome! So this one will be about Bret not being allowed to wrestle in America after SS. There's a lot of interesting stuff that could flow from that. And the fact that you finally revealed it hopefully means that it's close to fruition.
I can't wait! I'm excited! ;D

So I imagine that pushes Owen and Devey to the top of the Hart FOundation with Bret acting as a manager except in Canada. I've got other ideas but I won't spoil your story.

I think Terry Funk not winning the ECW title at Barely Legal would be cool but was done in another story. *kicks trashcan*

He would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for us meddling kids and nosy, uh, Tank.

What if...
*Stone Cold hadn't walked out from the WWE in 2002?
*Brock Lesnar didn't quit the WWE and join the NFL? As it stands, Lesnar is the David Caruso of pro wrestling (WWE = NYPD Blue, Lesnar's NFL career = Caruso's movie career, UFC = CSI Miami [although it's too soon to call])

I actually thought that a thread like this was free of the "I wanna f*** [insert past or current WWE Diva here]" stuff. You, Mr. Shaffer, have proven me wrong. Kudos.

Alright, Jed-O, serious question here that I KNOW you'll be unable to answer.
Regarding the "What If The InVasion Didn't Suck?" write-up, I just wanted one last thing answered that I forgot to ask last time.
When you turned Chris Jericho into Sting/Matrix Jericho, (Sorta like the He R Serious Chris we're stuck with now) you said that he got new music. Any idea on what that music would've been? (If you even remember?)

Alright, Jed-O, serious question here that I KNOW you'll be unable to answer. "Jed-O"?!? What am I, a gellatenous dessert? "He R Serious Chris". That's funny. I didn't have a definitive idea in mind for the music. I just figured that, with his character shifting, his music should reflect that, and mentioning it in passing would underscore the character's paradigm shift. Jed f'n Shaffer ~Glad I could prove I'm human to ya, Tank. I'd like to eff me plenty o' Divas, matter of fact.
