If you could go back in time and change one thing that happened in wrestling...

What would you do?</font></b>

[Emeye]

I would tell Owen not to do the stunt.

[GARAGExBANDxGEEK]

I would tell Owen not to do the stunt.
Y :-\ ou took mine so geting rid of the hardcore belt i wish they kept it.

[Volchok]

tell vince that in the year 2003 wwe will be bankrupt because vince was a ****in moron for buying it out... maybe he would change his mind about it if he thought he would become bankrupt...?

[Volchok]

for buying " it " i mean WCW sorry about that im watchin NYPD Blue and sombody just got shot i was typing and writing at the same time...

[MVP]

Not have Goldberg win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship until Starracde 98. Since it's specualted that that was one of the factors which caused the demise of WCW.

[BasicThuganomics]

I know it says one thing, but whatever...

Warn Owen
Lock Vince in a closet during Survivor Series 97 (Imagine how different things would be if that never happened?)
Find a way to keep Moolah and Mae Young off of TV for the last few years
Tell Brock to make sure Kurt is close enough to the corner during their WM match (that would have been an awesome way to end WM19 if he had hit the SSP!)
Stop HHH from gaining power backstage

and many other things but thats all off of the top of my head....

[Normal Is Me]

I would tell Owen not to do the stunt.

[Corkscrewed]

I would tell Owen not to do the stunt... or have them use a different cable that wouldn't break. Heck, have them check the damn thing... do a few test drops before the show started with weights.

[Boondock Saint]

Owen is the first thing that comes to mind.

[BasicThuganomics]

Also, maybe I would just show Vince a list of how much money he lost and how the ratings went down over the last couple of years so he would do things differently.

And I would stop Bret from riding his motorcycle the day he got in an accident.

[sexymanalive]

for me it would be Vince making tthe XFL that suck or it would be him bring back Hulk Hogan

[thebitch]

-WCW going under
-Owen
-SS 97
-HHH

[Azriel]

Def. Owen and SS97

[Volchok]

have hhh only go as high as the IC title.... he he mean but hey... or have him win it once...

[Supermark101]

I would tell Jim Crocket not to waste so much money. He wouldn't have to sell to Turner. Turner then couldn't kill what used to be the NWA.

[loopydate]

Definitely the Owen thing, but since that's been named many times...

I would have interrupted whoever it was that first told JR that he was the best announcer in the business.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I wouldn't stop Bret, he's stronger because of that and he's a better person...sucked that it happened but that's one of those battles through adversity we have to get through in life.

I would certainly warn Owen, and stop Vince from purchasing the WCW, because frankly, it gave Vince an even bigger ego if possible and has shot his company down the toilet.

[Darwin Henderson]

Stop Vince from buying WCW. Stop Heyman wasting so much money.

[diamondcutter]

Either prevent the AOL/Time Warner merger from happening, or not have Jamie Kellner in charge of programming for the Turner Networks. Because as bad as WCW became at times, in terms of show quality, they were still the top-rated shows on TNT and TBS. If not for Kellner's decision to cancel WCW because they didn't like wrestling, Nitro and Thunder would be on right now.

[Sephiroth]

Tell Owen to not do the stunt, and keep Goldberg away from wrestling.

[KayfabeMan]

I would've had Bret take the WWF Title to WCW :y:

[Chyno]

Obviously I'd stop Owen but other than that I would stop HHH from ever entering the WWE (I'd tell him he would end up wrestling bums for money) not only ould he be stopped from ruling the WWE with his backstage politics but wouldn't have harmed us ith his American Blueblood gimmick he had when he first entered.

[ColdwaVer]

Just to mane something that hasn't been brought up yet...

I'd stop Vince Russo from going to WCW.

[Mikey]

Go back to SS 97 and convince Vince to trust Bret (just to see how things played out)
Stop Owen from doing the stunt
No XFL
have someone else buy WCW before Vince

[Innovator]

-stopped Owen
-given ECW more money so they wouldn't go bankrupt
-go back to summerslam 97 and warned Austin to not take the tombstone from Owen, so his neck wouldn't be so messed up

[Tornado]

-go back to summerslam 97 and warned Austin to not take the tombstone from Owen, so his neck wouldn't be so messed up:y: :y:

<font color=#33ffff>Also, i'd have told Bret to duck when Goldberg threw that kick..</font>

[FlashyT01]

warn Owen
stop HHH and Stephine getting married

[FakeLaser]

Owen. No contest.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Owen is a given.

Something else though would be to stop WWE from leaving the USA network. ECW would have lasted longer that way probably (with the time slot on TNN rather than getting kicked off.) I just think had WWE never switched stations WCW and ECW would have last longer.

[Crash Bang wrestling4u.com]

Owen of corse,
but sending Undertaker over to smackdown,
or warn/tell Austin about the neck injury he would get from owen with the piledriver

[The Naitch]

During the WCW buyout, I would've kept Nitro on it's own but I guess a Nitro booked by WWE bookers and writers. Every Nitro, Shane would be the man in charge taking on Vince who ran the then WWF at the time. Have a few WWE stars switch over to Nitro, and when they feel that the angle was going nowhere, they should've reunited the two brands.

[Heyman]

<font color=8307ff><b>I might keep Triple H and Stephanie from getting together.

What would you do?</font></b>


2 things:

1)I would've continued to have pushed Austin as a heel after Survivor Series 2001. I would've had him keep the title until Wrestlemania. Between SS and Wrestlemania, I would have had him get a victory over The Rock, and another top face.

2)I would've pushed Triple H a lot differently upon his return in 2002. Stephanie McMahon would have NOT appeared on TV alongside Hunter (since she was a heel who was associated with Triple H [who was WAY over with the fans], the fans started not cheering as loudly for Triple H.......since Stephanie kept "bragging" to the fans about how Triple H was the best, etc. It kind of divided the fans against Triple H.

3)I wouldn't have had Triple H job to Angle at the February PPV. Triple H should have gone over.

4)Triple H (face) vs. Austin (heel) then could've been the main-event at Wrestlemania 18 (where Triple H would have gone over to become the newest and biggest face mega star in the company). The problem with what ACTUALLY happened, was that Jericho was not pushed properly during his title run. He was made to look like a weak transitional champ. The real feud ended up looking like Triple H vs. Stephanie. In the end, the fans didn't really care about the main-event........since it was the equivalent of 'cuddling after sex' in light of the prior Rock/Hogan match. The fans would have still been interested had it been Steve Austin........since he was an established star.

Triple H going over Jericho did nothing for him........since he was expected to win. Triple H going clean over Austin would've meant something.


Lastly - I think it was stupid for the WWE to pit Triple H against Hulk Hogan a month later (and JOB the friggin title). That ruined Triple H's credibility as a face. Triple H then also jobbed to Taker.

Basically - the WWE did many things wrong with Triple H's face run. Based on the huge pops he was getting when he came back in January 2002, Triple H could've been just as huge as The Rock and Austin (as a face) in my opinion.

</B></marquee>

[diamondcutter]

I forgot a few more things that I would change (WCW-related):

Never have David Arquette or Vince Russo as champion.

Not have Booker T. become The Rock during his first reign as champion.

Prevent The Radicalz, Jericho, and Paul Wight from leaving WCW.

A poster said that he would've stopped Russo from going to WCW. If this had happened, would Benoit have been used properly during the end of '99 anyway? Since Russo did push Benoit toward the end of '99 until he was replaced by Kevin Sullivan.

[RGWhat316]

Alot of things I would've said have already been mentioned, ie. Owen, Owen/Austin piledriver. But one thing I would like to say is, even though it was entertaining, to have The Rock not do SNL. Since it was that show that has caused him to be away now.

Also, not just giving HHH the World Title September '02.

[Fryza]

I don't mind the basic buying out WCW/ECW ordeal...

HOWEVER, I would go back and change the WWE's usage of the WCW/ECW workers (Ultimo, Rhyno, Kanyon, DDP, Dreamer, Raven, etc).

Everything else, IMO has been mentioned for me...

[Innovator]

Also, not just giving HHH the World Title September '02.

yeah, i would've had a tournament to determine the new champion, probably having RVD or a returning Kane winning the title.

[Draven]

I would tell Owen not to do the stunt.

[The One]

FYI...Owen never wanted to do the stunt. He was more or less forced to by the admin staff...just incase you didn't hate the WWE enough already.

Mine would be warn Jerry Lynn about...well...his career :(

[Vastardikai]

One thing.... Shit, I can think of quite a few... I won't mention Owen or Survivor Series '97 because they're both obvious. I'll do an unconve

Have Vader go over HBK at Summerslam '96: (again, the exact year is kind of fuzzy, sorry) You have Vader, one of the best big men in the history of pro wrestling, with the look, the attitude, and the ability to be a big star in the WWF. He's fighting Shawn Micheals, the young man who's living the dream of being WWF Champion. A Title Run with Jim Cornette being the mouthpiece, is Can't MISS. WCW in '93 understood this, why couldn't McMahon?

:nono: I really try to...well not hate you...but i just can't, dude your nuts, you really gotta let someone take a look at you. Bret Hart one of the best wrestlers there is. Undertaker he is a bit old and is not as fast as he was but still a great wrestler. Ultimo is a good talented wrestler he just don't get much chance to show it.
