Hey, how's it going? This is my second attempt at a rebooking. As for the first, I honestly just lost interest. Anyway, like it says on the tin, this is gonna be a rebooking of the WWF starting in 1984 and ending, hopefully, in 2025. To give you an idea of how different things are gonna be compared to real life, here's the first two changes:
--1): Andre the Giant takes time off in the early 70s in order to undergo all the surgeries necessary to correct his acromegaly. Therefore, he lives to at least the year 2000.
--2): The WWF actually holds a tournament in Rio to crown Pat Patterson the inaugural International Champion. I might make some brackets for that (and other tournaments) later.
Anyway, the first proper post will grace your eyeballs very very soon. And feedback is encouraged. That's all for now!

Sticks that your starting over but I'm still here to help so don't worry Good for Andre. You know Dave knows wrestling on youtube actually did a video about what if the Intercontinental Championship to actually happened and it looks great. It has guys like tiger mask, tatsumi Fujinami, Dynamite Kid, mil Mascaras, ivan putski, Andre the giant, Nikolai volkoff, mr fuji, Antonio inoki, Ted DiBiase and others.. maybe you could incorporate that into this thread. |

Next time, the journey begins. They have a junior AND a light heavyweight title? Seems redundant. Maybe you can do a match where the titles are Unified. Also shouldn't there be an international Heavyweight Championship held by tatsumi fujinami? What do you think of Jess Ventura managing the north-south Connection when he's not on commentary? He was actually apart of the similarly named east-west Connection with Adrian Adonis so they have to have chemistry together. And how about on black Saturday they cut a promo deriding the southern fanbase that tuned in to what they thought was wcw only for the debuting Brisco Brothers to come to the rescue and challenge them for the gold and win? They actually did have a match The tag titles would get great prestige by having former multi time nwa Tag champs and a former nwa World champion as their holders, for a while anyway they would off course drop them after a few months to either fellow gcw alumni the road warriors starting a feud that would culminate at Wrestlemania where they would lose a retirement match, giving the brothers a fond farewell in honor before they go work full time backstage while the warriors get major heat for retiring legendary wrestlers and looking more dangerous then before. |

And the next event is the War to Settle the Score. Okay. Well, what are Fujinami or inoki gonna do at Wrestlemania? Here's an idea, have a story where fujinami becomes Ricky Steamboat's sensei. He'd train him in the martial arts and help him with his feud with Mr fuji and Muraco and on Wrestlemania 2 Ricky has one final test, defeat his mentor to inherit the title of Dragon! |
