Enjoying Wrestling
In 2001, two of the largest American wrestling promotions died, and the WWE finally became the most dominant promotion in the USA. With that came a glut of talented veterans and rising talents from ECW & WCW, combined with their own wrestlers and veterans and developmental talent. Some home-grown talent were released, such as K-kwik (R-truth). Developmental wrestlers were cut loose (Spanky, American Dragon, etc...). And a large amount of ex-WCW and ECW wrestlers were released over the years.
My question to you is this: Say WCW never collapsed. Say ECW stayed in its tertiary position despite serious financial problems, or collapsed at a later date. What would the WWE roster have looked like, from 2001-06? What would it look like with the WCW talents like Booker T, the Radicalz, Scott Steiner, the cruiserweights, the Natural Born Thrillers, etc... still in WCW?
Would the Hardyz, Edge & Christian split to anchor the mid-card/upper-card? Would talents raided from ECW like Rob Van Dam, Super Crazy, Yoshihiro Taijiri be the answer? Would we have seen a Brand Extension? Would developmental wrestlers and indie talent get called up earlier?
