Let's say Bruiser Brody doesn't die. Would he get a run in WWF? Could he have been a monster of the month (vs. Hogan or Warrior I mean) or even something greater?

How does Cena convince Rusev to give him a rematch? Could you see it being a situation where Cena ducks out of the way of an attack causing Rusev to injure Lana?

Nah. He's a territory legend and was making his own schedule. WWF wasn't his style.
Nope. I see him going after the flag. They've been making a bigger deal out of the flag coming down.

Watching some WWF 96' at the moment.
It seems like Vader was built really well in 96' going into SummerSlam...and then he lost. Should he have won there? Shawn's run wasn't exactly doing incredibly.
He seemed like a better/bigger option than Sid.
And then surely Shawn winning the belt back at the Rumble would mean more if he took down the unstoppable monster, surely?

From what I've heard, that was a possibility. Mankind was definitely scheduled to get the title at Mind Games but Shawn vetoed it.
Yeah Shawn was always locked in to drop it somewhere and then win it back at the Rumble in San Antonio.

He was never meant to be a serious guy with MITB. I believe the plan was to drop it to Cody but that got changed and they just bailed out on it.
Licensing probably.

Do you think Cena/Reigns will face off in the near future or do you think WWE will keep them apart for a while and build towards a bigger match in a few years time?

Keep them apart.

In the midst of a WrestleMania marathon and just in terms of Mania 25 would Cena/Jeff Hardy have been a viable marquee match?

That was actually a sleeper dream match but I'm not sure how well it would have worked. They could have given it a good effort though.

I recall you writing something about wanting Brock to retain at Mania. IMO that would really brighten up what IMO has been a lackluster transitional reign. What are the odds of that actually happening?

Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
The more I've been thinking about it, the more I think it's possible. I still don't think it happens though.
I'd think it is possible if Brock were to resign with the company, no?
Personally, I think Reigns needs that one major feud where he can connect with the audience before he tackles Lesnar. WM32 has always been the better bet if Reigns is to truly make it big, tho, I'd love to find out that the next "Face of the Company" choice is actually the SHIELD trio and not just one of those guys...

Not necessarily. Not as long as Rollins has that briefcase.
He does. There's nowhere near a reason for Reigns to get the title yet and having him lose would make things better later.

I think at best he defeats Roman Reigns and then gets cashed in on. I seriously don't see Brock leaving Mania champion either way. I've always seen Brock as a transitional champion, and I guess it will go down that way. But looking back through history we can see other transitional champs getting huge one off rubs, like Dick Hutton when he beat Lou Thesz, or Harley Race after he beat Dory Funk, or Ivan Koloff after taking down Bruno, or Stan Stasiak after beating Pedro Morales, or Iron Sheik after he defeated Bob Backlund.

Nope. And it hasn't in years. IMO a win over the Big Show probably means more.
For years, many speculated over When the Undertaker's Streak would end and who would break it... last year, it happened, and it was a huge shock to all who watched it. Now, we can all question whether Brock was the right choice or not, but fact is, by doing the ending so well and sudden, I feel that made it a big accomplishment for Brock when he broke it.
So saying the above, wouldn't it have made sense if WWE made One who Beat the 1 in 21-1, another shock as well? Keep it as unpredictable as possible? Just a thought...

I think starting next year, the likes of Big Show, Kane, Mark Henry, Y2J and RVD should all be on purely 'veteran' part-time schedules and appear for programmes as 'surprises'. It would help from making them seem stale. (I do know 2 of them already are part-time,btw)
Leave Orton and Cena as the 'older, established' veterans on the Main Roster, and keep them both as strong as possible, as they are used right now, so a win over them is treated as a big deal. In Orton's case, he isn't even 35 yet, so he still has a future ahead of him, anyways...

Yeah, and I'm not sure we know who it is yet.
Yeah we probably will. There's no real need to see those guys all the time.
On the face of it, that is true, that we don't know yet... but then I remember the Rumble, and how anyone could see that 'looney tunes' Reigns winning it would be booed, then they also booked it terribly... What makes you think Mania will be any different, especially given the build-up we are having so far?

Just a hunch.
