If the WWF Lost the Monday Night Wars How Would WCW Revise H

[hassanchop]

If that all happens, WWF loses and TNT pulls the plug on WCW, ECW becomes the sole wrestling company that emerges and goes mainstream. And Paul Heyman just brags how they defeated the big two and he thanks the audience for their support as a big ECW chant fills their premiere.

Triple H and many others would have been picked up by WCW. Gimmicks like Triple H would more than likely have been main eventing on WCW anyway even if WWE went out of business as WCW couldn't rely on the likes of Hogan, Nash etc forever even if they wanted to. Also wrestling wouldn't be as big today as it is if WCW came out on top.

well HHH would have ended up ok. after all- Kliq.

Ric Flair, Jean Paul Levesque, Batista, Mark Jindrak and Randy Orton as Horseman 2000

Booker T, Ron Simmons, Big T, Mark Henry and The Rock as the new Harlem Heat 2000

Bob Sapp and Edge feud on who gets to guest star in a Japanese drama show

And for some reason, Buff Bagwell gets himself fired on the July 9, 2001 edition of Nitro

Plans to keep a WWF show running are cancelled when a Stone Cold/Grand Master Sexay match doesn't turn out as well as planned.

In this parallel universe, would WCW pick up any WWF guys?

I would've loved to see Rock get turned into a caricature and ripped on by Booker T.

[JCBaggee]

I imagine WCW goes under eventually, but I would also imagine Vince bides his time and buys the remnants cheap, then revives the WWE stronger than before.

Remember, Vince is a billionaire. Even if WWE went under, he's still loaded, and he's crazy enough to just sit in his home office and wait patiently.

Terra Ryzing would have married Garet Bischoff.

Undertaker, Chuck Palumbo, Kronik and Sean O'Haire will be a dark biker stable, a combination the Ministry of Darkness and American Bad Ass, each will have dark personas while riding their hogs

Scott Steiner and David Otunga form a tag team called Higher Ejcated University, both have ripped bodies and went to a Higher Ejcated University

And there will be a feud with Triple H and Double J where Triple H accuses Jarrett of sleeping with his wife

So, how does this work, exactly? Is this a Mephisto "One More Day" type deal? Where everything you remember happened, but One Moment in Time was changed?


The WWF had been winning the ratings war for over a year. WCW was floundering. PPV buys were in the toilet. David Arquette had been champion. Viewers were leaving in droves. And multiple all-but incomprehensible storylines that were started and then dropped had made for must-skip-TV. Rumors began swirling that AOL/Time Warner were going to sell WCW and the the WWF was the likely buyer.

And then, it happened. WCW Nitro opened with Vincent Kennedy McMahon's smiling face.

Vince: Hello, WCW. I am Vince McMahon and tonight, I have a historic announcement to make. Addressing some rumors. And I'll do it tonight, as both RAW and NITRO have their first ever simulcast.

Later that night, during the Simulcast, Vince walks to the ring carrying a steel briefcase accompanied by all of the WWF's A-listers. Steve Austin, the Rock, Mick Foley, the Undertaker, HHH. Vince explains that he had in fact completed final negotiations in regards to putting the company under new ownership. He met personally with Ted Turner and terms were discussed. It had been Vince's intention to offer Billionaire Ted 20 million dollars to take ownership of WCW. But Ted, he made a counter offer. 500 million dollars. I grudgingly accepted. *motions to the case*

Out comes Eric Bischoff along with WCW's Champions and A-Listers. Hogan, Flair, Sting, Goldberg, DDP, Booker T, and Jeff Jarret. Bischoff and McMahon stare at each other for a moment, then shake hands. Vince hands over the case. Bischoff opens the case to reveal the WWF Championship Belt. The WWF Superstars are stunned.

Bischoff: You thought we were going to lose? To sell the company? We're owned by AOL/Time Warner and backed personally by TED TURNER HIMSELF. Yeah, we've had a bit of speed bump recently, but it's nothing that FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS can't fix! Once we got Vince into a room with Ted Turner, the deal was sealed. Hey, WWF? WE. OWN. YOU!

*Huge brawl erupts with the WCW guys coming out on top. Goldberg snaps the WWF Championship belt in half over his knee. Show fades to black.

JR and Dr. Death patch things up and get together. During a tag match between the Thrillers and Totally Buff JR and Dr. Death join the announce team and JR tells Schiovane to let the real announcers take over and in the middle of the match, Dr. Death, Lance Storm, Kurt Angle and Rick Steiner interfere and beat the crap out of both teams and JR reveals that they have formed a new stable called Stampede. Real wrestlers, real deal!

I'm surprised no one's brought up WWF's TV-14 rating yet. Since WCW never took that approach, it'd be easy to spin that as one final desperate attempt by Vince McMahon to use puerile shock value to try and overcome WCW's superior product.

And of course, Stone Cold, Foley, and HHH would all be labeled WCW-made guys who WWF needed to poach to stand a fighting chance.

And Jim Ross today, while sucking up to Ted Turner or whoever at WCW writes his paychecks, would declare without a hint of irony that WWF was incapable of making stars, with the sole exception of the Rock.

Eh, I don't think they'd be revising things like Foley winning the belt or Jericho debuting with the company, because honestly, by 1999, it was a foregone conclusion what would happen within 2 years, IMO. If Attitude turned out to be a bust, however, and the WWF continued the downward spiral of the mid-90s, I can actually see them being out of business no later than the end of 1998. When WCW inevitably released the Rise and Fall of the WWF 10 years later, they'd talk about the WWF's attempt at outrageous, Jerry Springer style programming filled with over-the-top profanity, sexuality, and violence, and how it was the sad and desperate final act of a once proud and profitable company that knew their time was up. Basically, they'd equate Attitude to what the Team Challenge series was for the AWA. At least that's how I see them spinning it.

the hardy boys were a 3 count ripoff

[Lancers]

Eric Bischoff is already insufferable enough, if he actually was able to drive the stake through the WWE's heart, his ego would require its own separate plane tickets for flights.

Ah, my mistake.

[hassanchop]

I'm pretty sure they will go on about the Brawl 4 All, and say how the WWF never cared about their own talent hurting themselves and how they ruined Dr. Death.
