What if's

[Deezy]

Would Austin's heel turn in 01 gone over better if he would've gone full corporate?

Nah not really, I just think the alliance angle in general was what made it fall flat, and this is coming from a 2001 Austin fan. It was just some eh booking after the HHH injury IMO, was going so great that first month or so

I think the Invasion/Alliance angle is put on ice until Tripe H and Austin as the Two Man Powertrip implodes and turns Trips babyface against chickenshit heel Austin....and giving an actual good reason for Austin to join the Alliance instead of that goofy paranoid shit we got over that summer.

Probs not even put on ice tbh it had a rough and later start that year than i always remember (compared to when the WCW purchase was announced), HHH going down fucked up so many plans I'm betting

Could play out Trips/Austin long enough for some AOL Time/Warner contracts to expire too,

Rasslins always been cursed it would seem, we are only destined for mediocrity.

The plan was for HHH turn face and start feuding with Austin.

Just gonna put it on here since there is already a title about what if.

It's going to be a multiple part question.

The first should Spike Dudley won ECW Championship? If so when? If not why?

I tend to think Spike could of won against either Awesome or Tazz at the time. I mean It wouldn't have to be a long ruin but I think deserve he could of gotten a surprise win.

Spike should've went over Mike Awesome after he knocked out Spikes gf's front teethe.

Wouldn't this have been rehashing Mikey Whipwreck?

Pretty much.

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

Pretty much.

Spike > Mikey

So... I'm sure people have done this "What if..." (probably multiple times) but I never saw it discussed or planned out and wonder what you guys think.

TNA started in June 2002. Cena's main roster call up was in the same month. Famously, the whole Cena experiment might have died an early death (including him maybe getting booted, according to him), before they struck gold with the Doctor of Thuganomics stuff. He started doing that bit at the very end of October 2002.

Now. What if Cena gets the boot in July 2002 and he shows up in TNA around October 2002 with the Doctor of Thuganomics gimmick? Would he have been a fit in the company? How different would his in-ring style become, with the likes of AJ Styles around? Could he have risen to the top in TNA?

Cena had great work ethic and would've been popular with any locker room. So he could get a push.

But they still had Russo there and his size and build may have made him one of those generic big guys with adjective names like "malice".

Or he could've been Sonny Siaki.

Possible outcome with Russo, yea... but also Cena would've shown up during Ron Killing's first NWA World Title run and like 6-9 months before Killings, Konnan and James formed 3 Live Kru. Cena in that formation instead of James maybe? It probably would've fitted like a glove.

Of course, I'm no TNA expert, so I'm not sure how feasible it would've been.
