Diamonddust 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2007 What if Flair jumped ship in '98 and went back to the WWF like it was rumored? Probably would have come in as McMahon's corporate champion against Austin and had a nice feud with him, which would have meant that we wouldn't have gotten the two Austin/Dude Love main events.

Diamonddust 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2007 What if McMahon couldn't convince Andre to come back at Wrestlemania 3 and face Hogan? Who subs for Andre and does Hulkamania take off as much as it did? Paul Orndorff was the contingency plan if Andre was too injured. IIRC, that's why the had the draw in the cage match at SNME a couple months prior. I think Hulkamania had already taken off, the Andre match only cemented it. They might have attempted another offer at Nikita Koloff. They wanted him to face Hogan at Wrestlemania II, and as it's been said before, Hulk Hogan vs. Nikita Koloff would have sold out any stadium in the country.

Provided it wouldn't have been weird with the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff teaming up at the time, that would have been pretty cool. Do you think Koloff would have been on his own or would he have ended up in the Heenan Family? (Or with someone else?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What if Ahmed Johnson never got injured the 1st time, while he was the IC champion? Considering he was Goldberg-levels of popular at the time, there's a good chance he would've been in the WWF title picture. Ofcourse, knowing him, he would've injured someone or other and blown it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have brought the other two "Russians" - Uncle Ivan and Krusher and have Ivan be the mouthpiece like he was in JCP. Ivan was a former WWWF Champion and the angle could have been him having his nephew Nikita taking down the great American hero, Hulk Hogan, to regain the World Title for the Koloff family and the Soviet Union. You could have also had Volkoff team up with them as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could have still happened... they could have still repackaged Krusher into Smash after his usefulness in the Nikita/Hogan feud ended, or they could have found someone else to play the part.

Guest RyechnaiaSobaka Report post Posted November 24, 2007 Possibly. He would have been more recognizable though. Admittedly, it's kind of hard to tell sometimes in the early SNME matches with Demolition as managed by Luscious Johnny V when Barry Darsow started as Smash and when the other guy ended. You may very well be right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2007 I'm sorry but Hogan Vs Volkoff main eventing WrestleMania III and selling out The Silverdome is just a downright absurd thought. Volkoff was firmly entrenched in the midcard by '87. The guy lost in two minutes to Corporal fucking Kirchner at WM II, they'd have to do a lot of work to build him up to be Hogan's challenger at WrestleMania. Edit: Whoops, never mind. Misread.

majormayhem1 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2007 What if Elvis Presley didn't die in 1977 but took some time off to get healthy and clean? What if Vince McMahon and Tom Parker had arranged for Elvis to sing the national anthem at WrestleMania I? What if Hulk Hogan did win at WrestleMania 9 and accepted the challenge from "The Hitman" for, say, King of the Ring? Would Yokozuna win the tournament? What if Hogan, Hart, and Yokozuna had a triangle match at KOTR? Who would have won the tournament then? What if Sting went to the WWF in the early '90's? Would he have become the star he is? Or, would he have faded into obscurity? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
