Does anyone know if Davey Boy Smith was to be a world champion, or was IC the highest he would ever get?
Luger was getting the title the day before the show. Plan was for him to beat Yokozuna and then lose to Bret Hart in the main event. He got pissed up the night before though and was telling anyone who would listen the plan including a New York Post (I think) reporter who then printed that story the day of the show. Vince went mental and changed the finish to having Yokozuna work two matches.

As for Davey, I think there were talks more than once about putting the title on him but nothing too serious. He was massively over in 1992 that it had to be considered. I'd imagine they considered it when he had a heel run too. It was definately considered before he joined WCW because they used it as a negociation tactic.
