Perhaps you could do the Armchair Booking in two seperate parts. One would be improving the companies as much as possible, and the other seeing how much worse you can make it. Eh? EH? Part two would consist of: 5-year title reigns for Khali (WHC), Hardcore Holly (WWE) and Mike Knox (ECW). Mike Adamle announces all shows. The end. Jed f'n Shaffer ~What a masterpiece.

Don't worry man, we can wait for "What If... Jed was given the book for real?" for a bit.
But not TOO long.

OK, I haven't seen most of the thread, so I'm sorry if I bring up any repeat ideas, but here's my list of crappy ones:
--What if...TNA didn't hotshot the first Angle/Joe match? --What if...Mike Awesome didn't sign with WCW? --What if...they made Rick Steiner the NWA World Champion at "Starrcade '88"? --What if...Amazing Kong was put in the NWA World title tournament in the summer of 2007? --What if...Stephanie picked Kurt? [This harkens back to "Unforgiven 2000" and the mediocre HHH/Angle match.] --What if...Tazz beat Triple H on the "SmackDown!" after he won the ECW World title from Mike Awesome? --What if...Yokozuna didn't fall out of the ring when Lugar knocked him out at "SummerSlam '93"? --What if...Diesel didn't win the WWF Championship? --What if...Triple H was entered in[, and won,] the 1996 King of the Ring tournament? --What if...Mankind won the WWF Championship at "Mind Games"? --What if...Bret Hart won the WWF title in the Steel Cage match against Sid the week before "WrestleMania 13"? --What if...Owen and Austin didn't do the tombstone spot at "SummerSlam '97"? --What if...Undertaker and Mankind didn't go to the top of the cell at "King of the Ring '98"? --What if...someone besides Vince was the 'Higher Power'? --What if...Vince Russo hired a nanny?
[This one I'm separating because it doesn't have to do with a storyline, but it's something I've always wondered...]
--What if Tony Schiavone was named Executive Vice President instead of Eric Bischoff?

Did the Higher Power story. Just haven't reposted it here cause it sucks butt and needs massive editing.
Sort of included the Tazz/Triple H thing in another RTB (the Jericho/H's saga).
The others are all good ideas ... many of which are on the list already. Tis okay. Hard to find new ones when RTB's been around 5 years.
Jed f'n Shaffer ~The 1st "armchair booker" edition should drop in two weeks. Really.

And now I can confirm, since I finished the column about an hour ago, that the new column drops next Friday, barring any delays by RD.
Whether or not I do TNA next, though ... well, that depends on two things: response from readers, and a bit of my own feelings. I've been kinda throwing around an idea in my head and it feels like it might be fun ... I don't know ... I may give it a test drive, see how far I get with it. I may not. Time will tell.
Jed f'n Shaffer ~No, I'm not telling yet. Don't wanna jinx it.

Hey Jed, did you know you were in TVTropes.org? tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CanonSueAlso I've got a couple of ideas What if Jericho/Triple H at Wrestlemania had stayed mostly about Jericho/Triple H? Maybe have Steph help Jericho a little such as giving him the wrestling robe, but it's mostly about the title and the injury the previous year. What if Jericho won the title over Austin at KoTR I'm thinking when Booker attacks Austin, Benoit attacks him and puts Benoit through the table. Jericho and Austin fight while Benoit is pretty much forgotten outside. However towards the end Benoit comes back just as Austin is about to win. He hits a release German and then Jericho gets the Lionsault for the win. Then we have a big deal about Booker's interference and a week before Invasion on Raw Austin wrestles Booker for the WCW title. Jericho interferes and hits Booker with the title, though no one knows if he was aiming for Booker or Austin. Shane runs off with the title. On Smackdown Austin wants to know where the belt is. Shane says it will be presented to him on Raw in a ceremony. On Raw after his turn at Invasion he gives a speech that basically explains why he hates Vince, and why he always such a jerk. He grew up as an NWA and WCCW fan and Vince destoryed that. He got a job in WCW and Vince's boys ruined that.

*frowny face* Don't you twust us Jwed? I'm not 100% sure I'm doing it. I'm kinda testing it out first, writing a little and seeing if it catches fire. I don't wanna do what I did with the Shane Douglas/NWA Title story, and pimp it, then abandon it. I did not know that. I'd never even heard of the site before. And I love the write-up. Heyman becomes a "benevolent boss", "swoops in" and beats everybody. Obviously, whoever wrote it paid attention. Jericho fan, eh? Not bad ideas.

[quote author=mlsq42 board=rdreynolds thread=8277 post=3259540 time=1210855459 Jericho fan, eh? Not bad ideas. Jed f'n Shaffer ~I am an ECW mark, what of it, TVTropes? Actually not really. About the only move he's got I like is his springboard dropkick. Otherwise he seems to low impact and he grates on me in interviews. But I acknowledge he was in some top storylines that kind of got derailed Honestly, I've got a ton of ideas. For example what if Vince had bought WCW in the storyline. And the point was to tell off all the guys who pissed him off over the years. "I don't need you anymore! I've got new men I can turn into superstars and there's no where you can go to hurt my company now!"

Huh. TVTropes has become kind of passive-aggressive.
Wonder if somewhere from here wrote that entry. And if so, did they really need to be so dickish?

Doesn't really matter, though. I don't do net-wars. This is a hobby; it ain't worth going to war over. Jed f'n Shaffer ~Besides, he gave me free publicity, so the joke's on him.

Oddly enough, apparently the WrestleCrap induction at tvtrope was done by someone at The Onion. I'd take it they mentioned ReWriting the Book.

How about "What if WWE hadn't signed with TNN?" with the basis then being that WCW would have and Bischoff, although with a smaller company, would've had Viacom backing him.

As long as RD does an update tomorrow, yes, a new RTB drops Friday. The first of the "armchair booker" series.
Jed f'n Shaffer ~No, I don't know what's next.

Even if there wasn't a Stevie/Viccy reunion.
