Alternative History: Van Hammer Edition!
"Van Hammer" Mark Hildreth had the look, size, decent moveset, and reasonable "main event style" work rate to have become a bigger star if the WCW bookers had given him more promo time and a more logical booking sequence. Although I have not heard enough Van Hammer promos to get a coherent idea of what his character would say other than, "Make war, not love!" I have taken upon myself the task of booking Van Hammer after his Great American Bash '99 victory over Mikey Whipwreck. Here goes!
Bash at the Beach '99 Beats Jerry Flynn Road Wild '99 Beats Ernest Miller Fall Brawl '99 Beats Rick Steiner for TV Title Halloween Havoc '99 Defends title against Meng Mayhem '99 Defends title against "MVP" Dale Torborg Starrcade '99 Defends title against Jerry Flynn in a "Block" match Souled Out '00 Defends title against Bam Bam Bigelow Super Brawl '00 Loses title to Jeff Jarrett Uncensored '00 Wins four-way against Hugh Morrus, Barbarian, and Meng Spring Stampede '00 Defeats "Demon" Dale Torborg Slamboree '00 Tags with Sid Vicious as "The New Skycrapers" and defeats The Mamalukes Great American Bash '00 The New Skycrapers defeat Crowbar and David Flair Bash at the Beach '00 The New Skycrapers defeat Konnan and Rey Mysterio Jr. New Blood Rising '00 The New Skycrapers defeat Disqo and Alex Wright; Vicious turns against Hammer Halloween Havoc '00 Sid Vicious defeats Van Hammer Mayhem '00 Van Hammer defeats Sid Vicious in a strap match Starrcade '00 Van Hammer teams with Bam Bam Bigelow as "Bam Hammer" to defeat Sid Vicious and Shane Douglas Sin '01 Bam Hammer defeat Totally Buff for the Tag Titles Superbrawl Revenge '01 Bam Hammer defend their titles against The Harris Bros. Greed '01 Bam Hammer defend their titles against Kronik I presume that McMahon would not include Van Hammer of Bam Bam Bigelow as part of The Invasion or The Alliance, and so I stop here. Post your love, hate, and everything in between! |

I wanna do one of these too. Maybe about Roadblock. If booked properly he coulda been slightly above average.

I don't think I would have wanted to see a single one of those matches, but I appreciate your efforts here.

The biggest fault in this fantasy booking scenario is the part which features Van Hammer.

pffft! Van Hammer was going nowhere.
Now, as Pvt. Stash, he had a chance at the big time... til he got all butthurt about his rank. Mjr. Stash wasn't as funny, and as such, he crippled his own million dollar gimmick! Besides, the only Major they needed in MIA was Guns. |

I remember Van Hammer but honestly can't remember a single thing he did, pretended to play guitar? Want to say he was in the Flock at one point too.

Any one happen to see the Van Hammer shoot video?
He basically spends a good portion of the video apologizing to other wrestlers and the fans for stepping into the ring with no wrestling knowledge or skills and just getting a job cause of his heights and body mass. It was so bad at one point, the offcamera interviewer says something along the lines of " you never hear The Warrior or Hogan ever apologizing for their lack of technical knowledge. " To which Hammer looks off in a daze and says ... "Hmmm." |

You are correct. Hammer was in the Flock from November 1997 through May 1998, although he stilled dressed as if in the Flock when he feuded with the Flock the rest of the summer of '98, sometimes tagging with Juventud Guerrera.
