Occasional Pre-Show
This is my first thread, so if this has been done before, please forgive me and do what ever is necessary.
So here goes, now I was watching some old Raw videos from late '97 and all throughout '98. I got to thinking just how much different things would have been if the Montreal Screwjob hadn't happened; and if Bret would have been allowed to beat Shawn Michaels in Montreal. I, personally, don't think it would have been all that bad. I honestly think that Shawn Michaels could have beaten Bret on another day, another time, possibly at IYH-DX or the Royal Rumble in 1998. Now I know Bret was on his way to WCW at that time. BUT...here goes the real cause of this thread. I believe Vince could have gotten a little more out of Bret before letting him go to WCW. Picture this, Bret beats Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series 1997, Bret/Shawn Feud continues to In Your House - DX, Where Shawn defeats him for the WWF Title (Undertaker Runs in and screws Bret - Revenge for Bret winning at Summerslam). Could set up a casket match between Taker/Bret at Royal Rumble where Kane then comes and screws Taker, lights him on fire, etc..just like it happened with Shawn/Taker. Austin wins the royal rumble. Next night Bret comes out claiming he should get the title shot at mania against Shawn, blah blah...Austin comes out and says no, he won the rumble so the shot's his. These 2 brawl, Shawn's laughin his ass off at both of them. Slaughter would then come out and announce a triple threat match at Wrestlemania 14 for the WWF Title..Shawn/Bret/Austin.
These 3, at the time, were the absolute biggest names in the WWF. Imagine Austin going over both Shawn and Bret at Wrestlemania. No need for the lisp talking Tyson, just 3 of the biggest names in WWF. I definitely think this could have been better then what actually happened at WM 14.
So what do you think??? Am I completely dillusional? does any of this make sense?? could this have been good?
