Obviously depending on how things play out, but would TNA ever exist if there's four major companies in the 90s that *hopefully* survive the 2000s?

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

 

[Swamps]

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?

 

[R-Troop]

Would AEW even be a thing?

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

 

[Swamps]

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

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

 

[Santa Hoss]

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.

 

[Santa Hoss]

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.

 

[R-Troop]

this is what I get for not reading the whole thing lol.

 

[Swamps]

We considering Herb Abrams promotion one of the big four? FWA?

 

[R-Troop]

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

 

[Santa Hoss]

We considering Herb Abrams promotion one of the big four? FWA?

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

 

[Santa Hoss]

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

 

[Butters]

No vince, no brock, no views

 

[Santa Hoss]

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

 

[R-Troop]

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
