But the mod could have WCW set to be bought out or something if you're playing as another company in the mod depending if they went through that trouble.

I don't think there's any saving WCW if you mean not being sold. The sale procedures in like October of 2000 IIRC.

 

[Hoss]

Interesting

 

[Chris]

The only downside about picking anyone else and playing as owner say Bischoff for example and saying he bought them is we know in real life is that you then wouldn't have the AOL talent or the Turner TV slot

 

[Hoss]

This mod has Bischoff as the owner

 

[Chris]

idk how I feel about that

 

[Hoss]

Yeah....

 

[Hoss]

I guess that's the downside of HAVING to have an owner for the company

 

[Smart Marx]

Which makes sense. The letter of intent Bischoff signed to buy WCW was in January of 2001.

 

[Chris]

I can wrap a headcanon around Bischoff somehow getting all the AOL contracts and keeping the TV deals MAYBE

 

[Smart Marx]

Bischoff's deal included the AOL contracts because the original deal AOL remained minority owners and WCW stayed on TNT.

 

[Hoss]

Hmmmm

 

[Chris]

Oh then this works

 

[Chris]

I do think it would still be fun to play as someone else as the booker with Bischoff as owner tho

 

[Smart Marx]

The fate of Thunder under Bischoff wasn't certain though. The deal only stated TNT couldn't cancel Nitro.
