After spending enormous sums of money to buy up dying territories and expand their business in the wake of the WWF's national expansion, Jim Crockett Promotions found themselves in an insurmountable financial hole, and were forced to sell the company to Turner Broadcasting, who reshaped it into the entity we would come to know as World Championship Wrestling.But what if Turner didn't buy Jim Crockett Promotions in 1988? What if Vince McMahon decided to make a grab for the assets and buy WCW thirteen years before he actually did in 2001? This book imagines that very scenario, absorbing WCW into the WWF as it existed in November of 1988, and integrating its wrestlers into the storylines leading into Wrestlemania 5 at Trump Plaza.

The past thirty years of the wrestling business have been a very tumultuous time, as what was once a regional business grew into a national, and eventually global, entertainment industry. That history is loaded with pivotal moments where one slight change could have had a massive ripple effect that completely changed the landscape of wrestling as we know it today.This collecting of Wrestling History Revisited titles looks at many such pivotal moments in the history of WCW. How would things have been different if Hulk Hogan had never gone to WCW? What if the NWO invasion never happened? What would WCW storylines have looked like if they survived past March of 2001? How might they have tried to recover after the disastrous Hogan-Sting match at Starrcade 1997? What if Sid Vicious had never been fired after his hotel brawl with Arn Anderson? What if the WWF bought the remains of Jim Crockett Promotions in 1988 instead of 2001?This book explores each of these scenarios to determine what might, and very easily could, have been.

Perhaps the most major, industry shifting event of the 90s took place in May of 1996 when Scott Hall and Kevin Nash jumped from the WWF to WCW, presenting themselves as outsiders and invading WCW in an attempt to destroy it from the inside. Eventually, Hulk Hogan turned heel and joined the group in shocking fashion, and the three of them formed the legendary New World Order. The feud between WCW and the NWO changed the way professional wrestling was presented, and became the storyline by which WCW would come to be defined by. The interest it drew caused Monday Nitro to rocket past Monday Night Raw in the ratings, leading the long-standing competition between the WWF and WCW to become an all-out war for supremacy. But what if the NWO never happened? What if Hall & Nash never came to WCW, Hogan never turned heel, and WCW continued on as it had been? All the existing storylines in WCW when Hall and Nash showed up were completely dropped as the focus shifted to WCW vs NWO, and many of them were never resolved. This book explores what might have been if the NWO never existed, and where WCW might have gone had everything continued as it had before May 27, 1996.

After an amazing, decades-long history that included some of the best professional wrestling ever seen anywhere, not to mention beating Vince McMahon at his own game for two years in the 90s, WCW shut down after running the final episode of Monday Nitro in March of 2001. Sting defeated Ric Flair to win the final WCW match before Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon did a 20 minute simulcast working the purchase into existing storylines, and the final Nitro broadcast ended with a commercial for Wrestlemania X-7. WCW went out with a whimper of defeat, but what if that wasn't the end? What if WCW had continued, the WWF had never purchased the company, and instead of Jamie Kellner cancelling Nitro and Thunder, he instead decides to give it one last shot to regain its former glory? This book follows the fortunes of Booker T, Bill Goldberg, Scott Steiner, and Ric Flair as they get the one final chance they never got.

Booking a professional wrestling company is a tough job. It's not easy trying to come up with storylines that would satisfy the three main goals of making sense, making money, and making everyone involved come out looking as strong as possible. Sometimes you get lucky and you hit on something great that draws you a ton of money, and sometimes the ideas you think are absolute genius completely crash and burn the instant they land in front of a paying crowd.This book takes us back in time to some situations that worked better on paper than they did in practice, and lets us take another stab at them with the power of 20/20 hindsight vision. What if Hulk Hogan didn't go to WCW in 1994? How could ROH have been booked differently during the HDNet era? How might WCW have tried to rebuild after the badly-botched Starrcade 1997 Pay Per View?This book not only attempts to answer those questions, it also features the first edition of the Book Like WWE Challenge, where we take a group of talented stars with tons of potential, and...well, book them like WWE would! Nonsensical turns, an evil Commissioner, a glass ceiling, and more gimmick matches than you can shake a stick at are all part of the fun!This book contains the following bonus features:-The Nature Boy Comes Home: Ric Flair's 1993 Return To WCW-The 6 Biggest Failed Attempts To Create The Next Big Superstar

When Hulk Hogan did the unthinkable and signed with WCW in 1994, it changed the face of the company forever. Some would say his signing opened the door to many of the other successes WCW would experience later on, others would say his involvement helped put a bullet in WCW's head, and there were definite merits to both sides of that argument. However you slice it, the WCW we saw at the beginning of 1994 was barely recognizable by the end of the year. Aside from Hulk Hogan elbowing Ric Flair and Sting out of the top spots, the rest of the roster changed radically during the Hulk Transition, as many of the homegrown stars who had been built up over several years were pushed down and replaced with ex-WWF stars who rode Hulk's wake into the company.But what if Hulk Hogan never came to WCW? What would have happened if Ric Flair and Sting remained WCW's franchise stars? How would the homegrown undercard roster have progressed if they weren't dumped in favor of the washed-up WWF castoffs who now wouldn't have had Hulk there to open the door for them? Let's put our fantasy booking hat on and see what WCW might have looked like if Hulk Hogan was never a part of their roster.

Few moments in wrestling history have been as pivotal as the Montreal Screwjob. Expecting his WWF Title defense against Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series 1997 to end in a double DQ, Bret instead found himself on the receiving end of the most notorious shoot in modern wrestling history. Caught in his own Sharpshooter submission hold, the referee unexpectedly called for the bell at the behest of Vince McMahon, who was standing at ringside to make sure his champion didn't walk out the door to WCW with that title around his waist.Quite a lot changed in the WWF in the years after Bret's departure, mainly the company's transition into the Attitude Era, a style of presentation Bret was vehemently against. But what would have been different if Bret hadn't left the WWF that night? Probably quite a lot, since much of what happened during the early part of the Attitude Era was the result of the vacuum that was created when Bret left. This book takes you back in time to late 1997, and shows how different things could have been if Bret Hart stayed in the WWF and remained one of its headline stars.

The WWF did big business during the Attitude Era and, in March of 2001, found itself standing alone as the sole wrestling superpower in the wrestling business when both ECW and WCW folded within weeks of each other. What happened afterward, once there was no longer competition to risk losing audience to, was nothing short of a disaster. Steve Austin was turned heel to form an alliance with Vince McMahon, then the WCW InVasion was completely botched and the entire WCW roster buried. A second InVasion of former ECW stars was similarly botched, and then the aftermath of the feud (which was blown through in six months) saw Chris Jericho unify the two World Titles before losing them at Wrestlemania to Triple H in what really amounted to a feud between Triple H and Stephanie McMahon with Jericho as Stephanie's proxy. By Wrestlemania X-8, most fans came to the stark realization the Attitude Era was over and was never coming back. But could it have been saved? Yes, absolutely. There were a million and one chances over the years since when they could have steered things in a better direction and almost did, but ended up choosing not to and left us with the family action adventure drama we watch on Monday nights. This book takes us back in time to March of 2001 to nip this downward slide in the bud before it gets that far.

ECW had its finest moment in April of 1997 when its first PPV, Barely Legal, was broadcast live from the ECW Arena in Philadelphia. The show hit on all cylinders from a creative and athletic standpoint, and as luck would have it, they narrowly averted a major crisis when the power went out in the ECW Arena only moments after the show went off the air. It would have been a disaster for ECW if that had happened during the PPV, and probably would have spelled the end for them as a company, but luck smiled on them, and ECW lived to fight another day.But what if the power DID go out during the PPV, ECW went out of business in the spring of 1997, and WCW stepped in to acquire the company and its talent roster? This book explores what might have happened if ECW died four years before it was meant to, and how ECW's stars, titles, and existing storylines would have been integrated into the WCW landscape as it built toward its own biggest show of all time: Starrcade 1997.

Imagine going back in time and reliving WWF history as it actually happened. Not as the WWE wants to present it, but as it actually aired. No longer would superstars disappear from the history books or angles be edited out because they're deemed too offensive to WWE's current corporate philosophy. Instead, you'd see the WWF as it aired, as you remembered it if you're old enough, or as it really happened for the first time if you're a younger fan. You'd see the WWF that turned a regional promotion into a global billion dollar powerhouse. You'd see the WWF that the fans who grew up on the product came to know and love. Welcome to a year-by-year account of the WWF. This is the history of the WWF as presented on television. Not Vince McMahon's revisionist history, but the WWF that aired on television. This series follows the weekly shows, PPVs, and major events that made the WWF (and later WWE) the household name that it is. Love it or hate it, the WWF has become part of the world's culture and the events in this book helped define that culture. For those of you who have already been along for the ride, we're filling in the television holes. Due to size constraints, Prime Time Wrestling wasn't included in The History of the WWF main series. This book is a supplement to those books with some of the best of Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon's antics. While the majority of storylines played out on Superstars and Wrestling Challenge, Prime Time Wrestling had its share of memorable moments and is well worth watching for fans of the WWF. Here we'll break down all the action, promos, stories, and great Monsoon/Heenan banter.
