General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

Nah, I'm very interested. Most of my favorite BTBs have been WCW based so I always welcome the idea.

I’m glad. WCW is still a fascination of mine. 1998 was actually their most profitable year in the business so it seems weird they tumbled so fast.

A lot of people like to go to 1999 to try to stop the fall, but even though I like most of 1998, you gotta stop building the proper roads a year out to get WCW where it needs to be in 1999 and beyond.

be great tv to see Jim lose his shit on Vince

Russo's already gone in my timeline. Eric Bischoff owns the company along with Jeff and Jerry Jarrett who are in charge of booking. Flair is the on screen CEO. So. That would be a no go.

And besides that you still got all the biggest names competing full time plus the killer undercard

Speaking of Vince/Flair, anyone think how interesting it would have been had Flair jumped to WWF in 1998 like he wanted to do irl, and this part is my idea, Vince brought Flair in as the real worlds champ again after Austin refused to be a corporate champion instead of it being Dude Love for reasons?

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

you should build finlay too in your btb

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

solid mid card guy

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

like Regal

Finlay will definitely be in the mix. He's really skilled in the game so he's for sure someone I can use in the midcard to help along the youngsters.

Intriguing. Attitude Era Flair would be something else.

and I can stop a good deal of the defections from my undercard if I act quickly. Jericho and Eddie ain’t going nowhere on my watch.

A quick glance at this 1998 roster and it might be the greatest assembly of talent ever.

Lash LaRoux is a guy who could be Zach Ryderish

WCW is the one place I don’t stab Russo as much as I used to, but I do think hiring him a character writer to develop talent would be ideal.

No matter anyone’s thoughts on his booking of matches, man knows how to build talent.
