It would have delayed the inevitable. WCW was destined to screw up and Tyson really just enhanced the obvious at Wrestlemania.

Practically in line with Nate's question...

Would you have had John Cena end the Streak at WrestleMania 31 instead of Brock Lesnar?

If yes:
1) How do you think the "WWE Universe" would have reacted?
2) Would it have been better for Roman Reigns had Cena been the One in 21-1?

 

[klunderbunker]

Hated it completely.

No. Now 22-1 is a different story.

Cena or not, anyone who would have beaten the Undertaker's streak, even almighty Jesus himself, would have been booed out of the stadium and been showered universal hate on. Much like Lesnar was that night. Well for the next 24 hours at least until Heyman cut the promo on the post WM Raw.

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh absolutely. The best comparison is Ivan Koloff beating Bruno in 1971. Bruno had to stay in the ring and Ivan was never announced as the new champion for legitimate fear of his life. I was in the Superdome and saw grown men crying and people running out of the building and not coming back for the main event. THat's emotion you don't get out of wrestling very often.

Hogan hulking up against Rock at Wrestlemania 18.

On a scale of awesomeness, just how awesome is that moment according to you. If I ever had to pick or pin-point a moment in time that defines pure unadulterated nostalgia trip for me, its this one. Well that and Han Solo saying "We're home" in the newest Star Wars trailer.

I loved it. I grew up a Hulkamaniac and can never live that down.

Was this years Mania the first without a Canadian? On the main-show obviously.

Also, why was Ole Anderson not inducted into the HoF and does it really matter?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm sure there's been a show without one before.

Ole is LOATHED in wrestling and is never going in. No it doesn't.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

Ole is LOATHED in wrestling and is never going in. No it doesn't.

Why is he so loathed? What has he done to make himself so hated?

 

[klunderbunker]

Basically just a big jerk who treated a lot of wrestlers like dirt when he was in charge and has said some really bad things about Vince and Linda over the years.

I remember Hollywood Hulk Hogan hulking up in a match against Ric Flair on WCW one time. Can't remember the year, but I do remember getting out of my seat in excitement remembering his face days. It might've been in the early NWO days.

 

[klunderbunker]

That was at Clash of the Champions XXXIII in Denver, Colorado in Hogan's first title defense.

Jim Crockett is a little wiser than IRL and doesn't get forced to sell off to Ted Turner in 1989. How does JCP/WCW fare from 1989 - 1992 compared to IRL, and would there be any differences in stars produced?

 

[klunderbunker]

It actually would have been quite different as one of his biggest problems was buying the UWF, which gave him Rick (and later Scott) Steiner and Sting. Other than that though, Crockett eventually goes under no matter what due to finances and over expansion.

Favourite midcarder of the Attitude Era?

Mine is Steve Blackman, the Lethal Weapon. How they never tagged him with Shamrock to go for the tag titles is beyond me. How they never put the WWE Championship on him and had him kill everyone is also beyond me.

As you might note, I'm a little biased when it comes to Steve Fucking Blackman.

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably Shamrock. Kurrgan is a huge guilty pleasure.

Have you seen The Iron Sheik documentary, The Sheik?

December 14, 2014- April 26, 2015. That is how long this Reigns/Big Show feud lasted (assuming that it's over. Dear God, please let it be over.)

Overall, would you say this feud helped Roman Reigns in any way?

Not that I've seen.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

I always found it weird that no more than a month or so of beating The Giant for the WCW Title, that Giant ended up joining the NWO. Can you recall any sort of storyline explanation that was given as to why he joined so soon after dropping the title to Hogan?

 

[klunderbunker]

Money/power.

 

[Alex]

What are your views on Billy Corgan in TNA??

 

[klunderbunker]

That they need a bigger network audience, not another writer.

 

[Alex]

Do you think his presence with the company may help with that though?
