What if Bradshaw beat Bart Gunn?

[thelonewolf527]

This may sound like a strange topic, but this was something I never thought about until last night after watching the Attitude Era documentary.

Bart Gunn beat Bradshaw in the Brawl For All final to win the tournament and proceeded to get destroyed by Butterbean and then released shortly thereafter. Well Bart Gunn probably wasn't going to do much of anything either way, but what if Bradshaw won?

Bradshaw went on to join the Ministry with Faarooq as the Acolytes, then formed the APA, and finally became JBL and was WWE Champion.

So let's say he beats Bart Gunn. Chances are he'd have gotten destroyed by Butterbean as well. Would he have gotten released too then? And what would the WWE have been like without Bradshaw? I mean he wouldn't have won the WWE Title off of Eddie Guerrero in 2004, which actually also would have prevented that massive bloodfest at Judgement Day. He wouldn't have been a commentator in 2006. The APA would have never existed so Faarooq may not have done much of anything either.

There seems to have been a lot riding on the outcome of this real fight in determining the future of fake fighting.

I never thought of that but ya, Bradshaw probably would have gone on to Japan (and probably would have done really well there).

I don't think the Butterbean thing happens if Bradshaw wins.

IIRC, the Butterbean thing was a sort of "punishment" for Bart winning the Brawl For It All. It was supposed to be a vehicle for pushing Dr. Death, and Bart put the kibosh on that.

Bradshaw could come back from Japan as Tensai.

Would being Bradshaw ruin the Tensai gimmick?

He just switches from drinking beer to saki.

I think had Bradshaw won, he'd have gotten the push meant for Dr. Death. He was liked by most of the guys and wouldn't have been bragging about KO'ing Dr. Death to JR thus causing him to be forgotten and then KTFO.

he never woulda faced Butterbean. by all accounts Vince has always liked Jibbles.
