What if Sting won at Starcade 1997? he DID win the title, the ending was just WAAAAAAYYYY too smurfing horrible! Which is why I qualified it on my list as "cleanly". Jed Shaffer ~Honestly, I bet he woulda still lost it a couple months later ... but that doesn't make for an exciting RTB, so I'll think of something.

What if Vince McMahon Sr. gave the company to Pat Patterson instead of Vincent K?

FYI, my friends ...
Tomorrow, there will actually, honestly, no joke, be a new Re-Writing The Book! Not a reprint! I know, the shock!

I still say, just write a what if Hulk Hogan slammed Andre at WM III...NAKED! I mean come on if it has to be based on something, which would have made the events possible than you could use that quote of Hogan saying he ripped some muscles in his arms when he slammed him, only in this scenario, he would rip his pants

Another great entry this week.
BTW, how do you decide whether to make a story a multi-part one or a complete done in one story?

Another great entry this week. BTW, how do you decide whether to make a story a multi-part one or a complete done in one story? I don't really decide per se ... it's kind of determined by my story outline and how ... um ... wordy I get during the writing of it. Sometimes I find myself able to get what I want on the page in only a few words ... sometimes, I need a library. And the older single-shot stories (Hogan/DiBiase, Sting/Flair, Dreamer/Raven/Funk) were written on a site that has strict space limitations, so for those classic RTB's, sometimes, available space determined length. Jed Shaffer ~Man, I can't even give a short answer to a simple question.

I still want to see a sequel to your Montreal story ("What If Bret Hadn't Been Screwed"), although you touched on several elements we discussed way back when in your recent What If DX Had Gotten Into the Scope RWTB. I remember emailing you about this when you first started doing RWTB. BTW, if you can seek out a copy of Jed's Montreal story, DO IT. It's amazing.
Hey, since you actually swept up the Invasion mess, here's another one:
What If...Hulk Hogan had wrestled Ric Flair at WrestleMania XIII.
This was a huge missed opportunity. Flair. Hogan. WrestleMania. No brainer. Please clean up this mess for me.
Here's another wacky idea, but it may be a little...out of format...for RWTB:
What if...Hunter never left Chyna for Stephanie?

Great story this week. I also really enjoyed that Tommy Dreamer story from last week.

First isn't a suggestion, but you accidentally said Andre would wrestle Andre in this week's story.
Second, how about:
What if Terry Taylor dumped the Red Rooster character when Heenan took the name from him?

Well, have I got a deal for you. After Orndorff/Hogan, the next story to be posted is Montreal. But, I'm re-writing it from front to back. New narrative (in the D-X/Nitro style), expanded text, and what will more or less amount to a sequel, as there will be two more full-length chapters (making it a trilogy) added to it!

I'd love to see an April Fool's column next year. Something like "What if Blade & RD were Fake Razor & Deisel?" and they go on to win the WWF, IC and Tag Team belts... with Razor Blade marrying Stephanie McMahon and Big Daddy Deal bodyslamming Mabel in the first ever match on the moon. Another good idea for an April Fool's RWTB: What if CM Punk WASN'T better than you?

For WWF/E:
17. … Steve Austin had lost the “First Blood-End Of An Era” match to The Undertaker?
23. … Hall, Nash, Hogan and the rest were WWF plants to kill the company? 24. … Vince adhered to the stipulations of the End Of An Era match and never appeared on WWF programming again?
38. … Bret had submitted to Austin in the Submission match?
44. … Vince hadn’t vacated the World Title after he won it?
46. … HHH hadn’t joined forces with Austin & McMahon after WM 17
49. … Stephanie had chosen Kurt over HHH in 2000? 50. … Kane had lost the First Blood match at KOTR ’98 and had to set himself on fire? 51. … Flair had beaten Vince for total ownership of the WWF? 52. … Mick Foley had won at WrestleMania 2000?
57. … HHH didn’t turn on DX at WM15?
For WCW:
2. … Bret Hart had been the third man at Bash At The Beach ’96
8. … Bischoff had bought WCW in 2001?
17. … Baby Doll revealed what was in the envelope?
21. … Benoit had lost to Kevin Sullivan in their “loser-must-retire” match? 22. … Bischoff wasn’t removed as President in 1999? 23. … The Apocalypse storyline had gone ahead?
26. … the Millionaire’s Club/New Blood storyline had worked out?
29. … Raven hadn’t walked out?
For ECW:
2. … Douglas kept the NWA Title? 3. … TNN had supported and promoted ECW to the fullest extent?
5. … Tommy Dreamer followed Cactus Jack and gave up being hardcore?
9. … Kurt Angle had signed with ECW during his very brief stint?
12. … the Dudleyz left ECW with the Tag Titles? 14. … it had been Stevie Richards’ baby?
17. … Raven didn’t leave in 1997?
I took Ideas from your list and selected the ones that looked very interesting. I really hope you get to them all. The First blood-End of an era ones and the first blood set yourself on fire match with kane sound really cool.

The Tommy/Cactus story is on the docket for one of the next two or three editions. I've been wanting to do that one for a while.

Any chance the "What if the Alliance had won?" scenario will be posted in the near future?
Also, I'm enjoying the current story.
