What if WCW and ECW were still going?
Imagine it. It would be good cos then there's some competiton for vinnie mac. They'd be no booker t, no rvd, no goldberg working for vinnie mac, then maybe RVD would be a world champ, booker would get the push he deserves and goldberg wouldn't have to job to triple h.

If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas.

Without getting into a major discussion:
If WCW & ECW were still open,the business would be doing 100% better. Competition is what made/makes the wrestling business,and without it,it isn't as exciting.ALOT of diehard WCW fans tuned into WWF programming to see what the competitor was doing, but when WCW closed they tuned out of wrestling altogether; same with ECW. |

WCW show came on at 9:05 am, followed by WWF Livewire at 10 pm. Then I'd play with my little wrestling figures for about an hour and another WWF show came on at noon. At 6:05 WCW Saturday Night came on until about 8:05, and late at night, I think it was midnight another WWF show was on. Then later on at about 1:00 am the AWF was on. I got to see people like Tito, Slaughter, LOD, and 2 Cold Scorpio on that show. It was cool. Then Sunday night I woke up to WWF Superstars. My God were those the days. The WWE really needs some competition big enough to have a few shows a week on basic cable. Unfortunately it would be VERY, VERY hard because of all the wrestling critics, and the fact that the WWE has all the stars that the WWF and WCW made with the exception of Sting. I think they'd have a shot though. |

The one segment that stands out on eathier of those shows to me, was the barber shop segment with the Rockers. I was like eight years old and totally shocked after that. |

That seems to be one of the things old school fans remember most, when HBK kicked Marty through the glass. That was pretty hardcore for those times. I'm not sure how old I was at the time but that definitely sticks out when I think about Superstars on saturday mornings. That... and...... I was watching one morning and HHH was going against some jobber. When HHH went for the pedigree the jobber didn't keep his body horizontal and ended up landing straight down on his head. I was amazed he was not hurt.

Well that might be why I remember his one segment so much cause the fat little bastard called me about 3 times during the segment. Remember the Hulk Hogan funeral parlor segment? Where Flair was the guest and he and Taker set Hogan up? That was cool to me. I also remember when Heat was good and had guys like The Rock, Stone Cold, The Undertaker, and Kane appear. |

I really enjoyed WWF All-American,where you'd get hilarious (often
Kayfabe breaking,but not realizing at the time) comments from two great hosts: Raven (then Johnny Polo) & legendary Gorilla Monsoon. Later you'd also see Todd Pettengill and Ted DiBiase hosting; they too did a good job,and had a nice chemistry on the television set. You'd see The Smokin' Gunns,The Quebecers,Men On A Mission,The Headshrinkers,Yokozuna,Bret and Owen Hart,and a whole bunch of others.Plus you'd get to see the top enhancement talents,some of which would become future stars. |

Instead, they would be getting better pushes in WCW or ECW. WWE isn't everything. |
