Guys bookers were planning on Main Eventing/Winning Titles
I know like a select few on here would know stuff like this, but name some guys in eathier NWA/WCW or WWF(E) that the bookers were planning on having them main event big matches or give them World Title runs, but it never came to be.
Like for example, I know Vince was planning on running (or at least had it in his mind) Zeus/Hogan for WM 6 I believe, but thank god it never happened. And how Luger was suppossed to win at Mania 10, but he opened his big mouth. So name some more "was supposed to happen" situations like that. I'm looking at you Rob. |

Ludvig Borga was supposed to win the WWF belt, then he got injured.
Same with Ahmed. I know Perfect was supposed to win the 90 Rumble, as well. And DiBiase was due like 15 title runs (in between NWA and WWF; I'm exaggerating a little) that he never got. |

Ted DiBiase was promised both the WWF and NWA world championships at one point. Owen Hart was promised a WWF title run if he came back to the WWF after Montreal, Rob Van Dam was planned to be the ECW world champion around the time Mike Awesome left for WCW. Tom Magee was being groomed for the WWF title. Until they realised he could only work with Bret Hart. Vader reckons he was told he was getting the WWF title twice in the summer of 1996 as well as beating Rocky Maivia for the IC title before he was arrested in Kuwait. Vince Russo wanted to put Tank Abbott over for the WCW title when Bret Hart vacated it. I'll add more when I remember them. |

I've heard on a radio interview with Bad News Allen (or was it Brown) that he was suppose to beat Hogan for the belt.

Tommy Dreamer refused to be ECW Champion many times. I heard Brakus was going to be World Champ. I also heard that D-lo was going to be in the world title scene had he not paryalized Droz. I believe Rick Steiner? was going to beat Flair for the World Title in 1988 had Flair left.

Brakus wrestled in Dark Matches for a while. They kept showing promos of him, but he never wrestled on TV. This was in late 96 to early 97.

What a true great Tommy Dreamer is. He was never egocentric or selfish and constantly put the younger talent over instead of taking the belt himself (with the exception of those 34 seconds). I'm relieved that he's got a backstage job with the WWE because he symbolises what is great about wrestling.

What's this about Lex Luger being supposed to take the title at WMX 'but then he opened his mouth'?
Does anyone know if Davey Boy Smith was to be a world champion, or was IC the highest he would ever get? |

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. |

I could see them setting up the Beefcake thing, with him being such great friends with the Hulkster and all, but it's just as easy to see that as a big story, a big pile of horse feces.

I rented out the Olsen twins movie, New York Minute, to Beefcake at the video store I work at. He's kind of intimidating to wait on.
