“What if…”

Greetings BoD,

Ive been giving the keys to the castle!  I now know how HHH feels.

Taking some mandatory time off from the E.R., so have some time to contribute around here.  Full disclosure…a few weeks ago, Fuj had mentioned running with a regular “what if” type of thread, an idea I really liked. Since wrestling is a world where success and opportunities are often dictated by numerous factors (in ring ability, mic work, politics, others ability to help put you over, injury, etc.), I find “what ifs” fascinating.  Since Fuj is to lazy, you know protecting our country and stuff to write this, I’d figure I would give it a go.

We will start with a basic one, with huge repercussions…what if Rock never goes away from the WWE?  He started taking major time off around 02…does he stay “the unquestioned guy” from 02ish – present day, giving him a Hoganesque run on top?

– Does Vince push him aside in favor of Cena?

– Does he clearly supplant Hogan and Austin in terms of historical “A+ ness?”

– Would WWE have done better business  than they did during HHHs 03-04 reign?

– The most fascinating to me, whats the political dynamic between HHH, who was really coming into power at the time, and Rock, who’d be the unquestioned top guy?  Would they begrudgingly play nice?  Would Rock eventually get run out by HHH?  Would a Bret/HBK dynamic eventually emerge, splitting the locker room?

Lets hear your thoughts.  If you have a “what if”, email it to me and Ill post it.
