TNA absolutely not. ECW, yes. AEW, probably also yes.

Yes. Jarrett would have eventually left WCW and then started TNA. Would it have grown to any level of national prominence? Probably not

If WCW was up and running, then no TNA as long as Double J was still getting pushed heavily. If not, he may still go form another promotion. Was he partial owner of WWA?

This I would 100% disagree with. AEW would never happen because I'd expect TK to purchase ECW.

If I remember correctly AJ Styles was starting to get time in WCW before closing, so the big TNA face would still be in WCW too

Should be considered that Grim's scenario begins in 1992, I believe. Jarrett is, I'm assuming, in USWA. And ECW still hasn't become ECW.

Also ECW isn't one of the four big promotions he's referencing. Personally I would imagine ECW would be set up in the game in a way that they'll struggle financially and maybe end up dying, as in real life, or at most remain an indie company.

So the 4 companies would be WWE, WCW, and who else? Cause I ain't gon lie don't think there were any other big companies at that point. Hence why I thought ECW was one of them

WWF, WCW, AWA and USWA (basically a super union of the southern territories)

The scenario is Vince dies so WWF doesn't get the same stranglehold and talent is more evenly divided among those four major companies

I don't know the specifics of how AWA and USWA are supposed to become on par with the other two

I knew the Vince thing, but I can't ever imagine the last 2 ever being even close to the level of WCW, yet alone WWE
