Are there any fix ups or customs you can do with the BP Mahal or his parts?

Why would Hogan be willing to put over Rock but not Austin? Do u think he would have been cheered that night like he was had he been facing Austin instead of rock?

The problem I would have with the USS Inrepid angle is that, assuming the general WWF fan at the time probably wouldnt know who Sting was, or why he was a big deal, and I dont think it would have went over well. Plus, I highly doubt Vince would play out an angle that no one in WWF could slam his champion, but then the top star in the rival company flies in on a helicpter, slams him, and then probably takes the title from him at SummerSlam.

WM on Preston has E21 Rey, Orton, and one Del Rio. I picked up a Ryback if anyone is intrested in it. They also had some B29 (no warrior, austin, or eddie) and BP Rey/Cara. Kohls on Preston has B29. I picked up a Warrior and the only Eddie, but they have the rest TRU on Outer Loop has a few B29, E21 Rey, and a BAF Christian. I also just returned a B28 Sandow there today, so they should have one right about now.

To me it would have made more sense for Michaels to win KOTR and not the IC title in 95. He was too over for the IC title at the time and didnt really do anything with it (he didnt even give a rub to anyone by dropping it due to the NYC beatdown) Though I do understand the idea of creating a heel for Diesel to feud with by having Mabel win KOTR, despite how terrible it turned out

Interesting, Ive never heard that before. It does make a bit of sense, though. Perhaps Piper was given his IC title run at Rumble to placate him for not being given the WWF Title? As hot shotted as it seemed, I think I would have preferred what we got to this idea though. At the time, Undertaker was undefeated. At least his first loss was to the "Immortal" Hulk Hogan with heavy interfernece. A loss to Piper? Probably would have hurt Taker a lot more as far as his mystique goes. Why not have Hogan regain the title at the Rumble and Flair wins the Rumble as it went, setting up WM8? I know a lot of factors went into the reshuffling of the Rumble and Mania that year though, but if Hogan hadnt decided to bail, I think this would have been a way to go (though I loved the heel Flair winning the title in the Rumble after lasting so long too)

It was basically just used as a vehicle to start up the Hogan/Flair feud that was supposed to culminate at WM8. It was also a way for the WWF at the time to test out using Tuesday nights as a PPV night. Hogan getting a rematch for the title with him as the challenger after being screwed out of the title in the first place would probably theoretically have drawn better than Hogan as champ against Undertaker again.

If only Savage won the WWF Title at Royal Rumble 94 and then lost the belt to Bret Hart at Wrestlemania 10. That would be the true passing to Bret and the real beginning of the "New Generation" era. Rumor has it Savage was penciled in as the winner of the 93 Rumble all the way until the day of the show before it was changed to Yokozuna. This also falls into the category of whether you believe or not that the plan for Bret Hart was to go over Warrior, Savage, and then Hogan in consecutive big PPVs to cement himself as the leader of the "New Generation". Regardless, Savage vs Bret at WM9 would have been awesome! Back to topic, I hadnt heard the Savage's real life drama with Liz might have impacted his run in 92. I too thought the whole retrement/wedding/reinstatement angle was well done and his feud with Roberts and Flair were great. Even if Vince had decided to go a new direction and take Savage out of the ring (which I think was a mistake, especially considering how lean the years of 94 and 95 were) I would have liked to have seen Savage drop the title to Bret himself instead of Flair. Flair was on his way out anyway and only served as a transitional champion to Bret. Maybe a Savage heel turn/tweener role and a proper feud with Bret leading into Survivor Series 92 where he would drop the title, then a handshake after the match, and the torch is passed to Bret. Plus, can we all agree Vince panicked big time in 93 by bringing Hogan back? The story was that he wanted to move away from the "old guard" of guys like Flair and Savage, but then brings Hogan back, lets him take the title after months of building Bret Hart up as the new champ, and then of course we never get the Hogan vs Hart match. He should have trusted his gut and went forward with the New Generation. Hogan was a flop in 93.

The "New Generation" didnt really kick off until 93, and really more so in 94 after Hogan left for good. That wouldnt explain Savage's retirment angle in early 1991.

What was the reason for the Retirement Match at WM7 between Savage and Warrior? Was Savage taking time off to heal his elbow/forearm injury? And how do you think it affected his career? IMO This point in time after WM7 seemed to really hault any momentum Savage had in his career, and to me it seemed Vince lost faith in him as a main eventer for some unknown reason. We had the big face turn moment with Elizabeth, but by the time he returned in the fall of 92, he really only had the feud with Jake Roberts and then Flair before fading into the background. He was used sparingly by late 92/early 93 and was a commentator by the time Mania 9 rolled around. His big "reinstatement" really only lasted about a year before he was relegated to a special attraction.

I always thought the POP could have been more successful than they were if given the opportunity, especially as heels

I think, after KOTR, perhaps a prolonged feud with X-Pac (a former DX mate) and then Road Dogg would have helped to solidify Gunn's heel turn and his stature as an upper mid card/main event type player. I think he was thrust into the main event scene way too fast in a fued he was doomed to fail in with the Rock (as has been covered) and the ball was dropped with him. Maybe after a few months feud with Pac and Dogg where Gunn could really settle in to his heel persona and win those fueds, then he could have moved on to the feud with Rock later in the fall/winter. This way, Rock probably could have been able to put him over at a more minor PPV in the winter before winning the blow off match at the Rumble and then moving into the title picture for Mania. Then at least Gunn has solidified his spot and could move into a proper feud for Mania himself (maybe with someone like Jericho or Tazz)

Not sure if this would count, but supposedly Sid had it in his contract in 1992 that he would headline Mania that year with Hogan. They originally wanted to go with Hogan vs Flair at Mania 8 but Sid held tough to his contract and caused the rewriting of plans. Of course, poor house show draws for Hogan vs Flair and other factors have also been linked to why the Mania 8 card changed so much over the course of time.

Anyone been to the Derby City Comic Con in Louisville? Thinking about going this year. Any feedback from previous conventions? What kinds of vendors are there, etc.

Wasnt Sid meant to feud with Taker? I think the original plan for WM8 called for a Taker/Sid match, along with the blow off to Savage/Jake. So maybe Sid saving Savage was meant to lead into these two semi main events for Mania (with Hogan vs Flair headlining) but for a plethora of reasons that didnt happen. Those reasons including Sids initial injury in the fall, Hogan vs Flair not testing well with audiences, and the rumored clause in Sid's contract that said he would headline Mania with Hogan.
