He lost it at the end of January to Raven, to give him his first ECW World Title run

Oh yeah that was the Tyler feud huh

 

[Loochblade]

So we could have a Raven/Austin feud throughout the first half of 96

 

[Loochblade]

Oh yeah that was the Tyler feud huh

I guess it was

 

[Chris]

Just stretch it out longer without the belt while Austin has his reign then move the belt to them when he leaves

 

[Loochblade]

Or that, yea

 

[Chris]

Or yeah Austin could be involved with Raven too, that would probs be better lol

 

[Chris]

Austin was still married to Lady Blossom then, maybe she could have been corrupted by Raven too lmao

 

[Loochblade]

I also only just now learned that Austin got a lot of inspiration for how he did his ECW promos from guys like Mick Foley... who had his Cane Dewey promo only a couple of weeks before Austin showed up to tape his

 

[Loochblade]

And it shows

 

[Chris]

Yeah those anti hardcore ECW promos from Mick are the best

 

[Chris]

I'm just imagining Austin being the cartoony chicken shit heel he was in 2001 while Sting is pointing a bat at him and it's so much better than Hogan already

Yea... and then he shows up as the third man at Bash at the Beach and gets to work with all those guys he wanted to work with (Sting, Savage, Hogan), but got denied because he wasn't "marketable"

... and Sting/Austin as the Starrcade 97 Main Event.

 

[Chris]

I think a major flaw in this scenario would be realistically even if they booked this, they still wouldn't have as much faith in Austin after as they did Hogan and might still fuck up the angle to try and compensate
