Bonk posted:Sean O'Haire's "devil's advocate" gimmick. This loving ruled E: for actual content I do often wonder what would have happened if they had waited until they had had the guys they wanted in order to do the invasion properly. Instead of just going 'wcw and ecw are both dead and we own them and their guys are all complete loving geeks, here's ecw legend Stephanie McMahon' taking 5 minutes to set up a proper invasion with flair, hogan, steiner, goldberg etc, hell even just continue running WCW as a separate brand with a little bit of oversight and get two lots of money. Like millions of people just stopped watching wrestling forever when WCW closed and WWE demonstrated they had no interest in doing anything with most of their guys and they never got them back

That's JPW was the most adorable show (studio based english language joshi wrestling in bite size chunks using the TJPW roster with Chris Brookes and Baliyan Akki). It was lovely and enjoyable and they should still be doing it to this day.

A world where Regal didn’t have substance problems and had a run as the top heel in the company would have been nice. He could have had the run JBL had, except a hundred times more entertaining and deserving.

Invasion With Full Star Power still probably would've been bad because so many of the WCW guys people actually wanted to see were ancient, so I'll do a slightly different version and say the version of the Invasion where Trips doesn't tear his quad and Benoit doesn't destroy his neck right beforehand.

I'll append the cancellation of Mr. Haku's official WU translation Twitter to this post.

Along the lines of alternate timelines I guess - other than like fantasy time machine stuff what's the best match that could have happened but we never got to see? I know rock never wrestled hbk because they fell out over something and thats the big one I think of especially atm since I'm working my way through 2002. Any other big omissions that just never happened for whatever reason

the sex ghost posted:This loving ruled I think the WCW Invasion was doomed to fail because the only person worth picking up who could have improved the lineup who historically sat out their contract was Ric Flair and MAYBE POSSIBLY Hogan. I believe there is no possible universe in which the WCW invasion works unless Vince is thrown out of the company before hand and creative is turned over to someone who isn't a giant manchild, because the Talent[ 3 Count, Kanyon, Norman Smiley*] and Starpower[DDP/Booker T] where there for the using. *Cannot believe WWF didn't sign this dude.

I'd like it if Daniel Bryan remained healthy after his win at Wrestlemania 30 and the company didn't immediately put him in a slog of an angle with Kane. What's the most dangerous move that looks the weakest?

I kinda want to see what WCW would have been like had the Fusient deal gone through and they’d stayed on TV. There’s every chance it still would have been bad but I’m curious what the rebranding would be.

I think I might have misread the question as most dangerous (kayfabe) as opposed to most likely to cause injury.

Any other big omissions that just never happened for whatever reason We got some Four Pillars matches vs Three Musketeers, mostly in the 2000s because Baba was pretty isolationist on the whole when it came to working with other Japanese wrestling companies. But we never got Shinya Hashimoto vs Kenta Kobashi and if we'd gotten that in say 1995 it'd have been swell.

ThatBasqueGuy posted:whats the deal with touching ropes and submissions iirc if you're touching the rope you're officially out of the ring and in the old days all the action had to be in the ring. It's the magic circle that turns assault into sport now it's just a convenient way to make sure submissions end and something else happens

Also that having your opponent in/against the ropes is illegal in general. The referee always yells to get out of the corner, out of the ropes, off the ropes, etc. So if someone is touching the ropes during a submission hold, the rules override the action.

Any other big omissions that just never happened for whatever reason Vince Russo wanted to make Warrior vs. Goldberg happen and I am absolutely fascinated by that concept. Not just the match, but the build and aftermath. I'm also disappointed that we never got Angle vs. Shamrock. That would have been fun to see. I remember reading how had Eddie Guerrero not died, the plan was for him to do a program with Shawn Michaels. That would have been great.
