I would have loved to have had a Bret Hart v Kurt Angle match if Bret kept going, I think he would have retired around the same time as HBK, maybe have HBK and Bret go out together, who knows.
Kurt did face Owen, but it was at a house show and there is no known footage.
Kurt vs Bret could have been a 5 star wrestlemania classic. Like an all-time great feud
First of all I am so happy that my question got the thumbnail but the reason I suggested HBK is because Brett would get his win back from Survivor series
What if Finn Balor didn't get hurt immediately after winning the Universal Championship?
I believe they covered that at one point. He'd have just dropped it to Lesnar a couple of months later.
Nothing would have changed.
@@reddragon0624 a couple months reign vs a 1 day reign due to injury is a major change.
Shawn went on for 8 years . Bret would've been 44/45 in 2002. I reckon he definitely could still have had amazing matches considering some of the greats still going to late 40s
Styles is nearly 50 and just had one of the best matches of the decade so I’m sure Bret would’ve been fine
HBK came back at Summerslam 02, won the title at Survivor Series 02
Bret in the Attitude Era could have been interesting. Of course the Angle program was ther, but him and Stone Cold running it back could have been fun and seeing main event level Rock vs Bret could have been dope.
2:33 Bret Hart as "special timekeeper" so he could ring the bell
1:36 Shawn wrestled until 2010
Shawn’s first match back was Summerslam 2002
Okada joining Chase U as a foreign exchange student would have popped me for all the wrong reasons
4:44 I need this to be clipped and posted on everything Goldberg is on
I needed this video tonight _ and this was vintage S and L . . .
♡
luv it
What if…The Final Boss went to Chase U?
Let’s kick this off 😂 Steve Here being the top tier meme master 😂
I would argue that pairing Okada with Chase U right away isn’t all that different than pairing him with Jack Perry right away.
Jack Perry joined The Elite after Okada
Dude does an amazing HHH impression.
Bret Hart v Kurt Angle is my idea
What if….Jeff Hardy didn’t get suspended in 2008 prior to Wrestlemania 24?
If Okada went to NXT he would take over Chase U and rename it OU and have a competitive Pokemon gimmick
Larson giving in 6 minutes into the video... hahahahh Steve you broke him. Snake tribe will have to come for vengeance
What if Giselle Shaw won the TNA Knockouts Championship?
Why did we never get CM Punk vs Shawn Michaels?
I believe bret would be with sting in tna
What if Dustin Rhodes didn't develop all those demons that led to him leaving companies and burning bridges all throughout his athletic prime? Seeing what he's been able to do since seemingly getting clean and healthy later in life, how far up the card would he have gone in WWF or WCW? Obviously Hogan held plenty of people back, but presuming he wasn't being artificially held down what would his ceiling have been, as himself or as Goldust?
Also, I would have really liked to see Okada in WWE. Will Ospreay is a good fit for AEW despite how bloated their roster is, but The Raimaker with WWE's level of presentation and with writers who treat him like the big deal he'd deserve to be could absolutely have created magic. Would have been shades of Ric Flair's initial run to the world title except with no Hogan in the way.
I think a good Wrestlemania main event could’ve been Punk & Hart vs HBK & HHH maybe at Wrestlemania 28 or 29. Would’ve been perfect.
Also Okada joining Chase U could’ve worked, they could’ve done something like Andre Chase teaching philosophies and teachings are based off of Okada but that’s if they leaned into the U aspect of the gimmick more.
What if….
The REAL Worlds Champ Steve
If Bret Hart wasn’t concussed by Goldberg, I feel like we wouldn’t have gotten the angry old man Bret Hart we have nowadays
CM Punk would have lost and still never main evented WWE until 2025.
If Vince McMahon was still in charge I don't think much would change aside from Logan Paul being World Heavyweight Champion instead of Damian Priest because he would have won MITB. Also Ricochet, Bronson Reed, and Ivar would not be on Raw every week, matter of fact The Viking Raiders wouldn't be in WWE and neither would anyone else Triple H rehired, CM Punk included. We would have gotten The Rock vs Roman Reigns, that's damn near a guarantee.
a part two for Goldberg
.... What if
he actually went AWAY right after his super hero moment with his son & family
... and literally went away.
no podcasts, no appearances, etc
I think you mean Bill Goldberg
I don't think Cody would have gotten big if Vince was around. I'm pretty sure that Roman would have still gotten the title around his waist still; and try to break Bruno sammartino's record. I also don't think the TNA women's champion would have ever been in the women's Royal rumble at all. He would treat her as like some scrub if they would have done it.
Mickie James returned as Knockout's champion years ago, with her TNA music.
According to Cody, Vince actually came to his home to sign him back to Dub. Vince is a Despicable human being, no doubt, but he's always been willing to bury the hatchet and squash beef with anyone he had problems with if it made him money and he knew even back in 2022 that Cody was money.
What would have been the difference is that I don't think the Mania Pivot happens if Vince is in charge. The pivot happened because of fan backlash and if history has taught us anything it's that the one thing Vince does not care about is what the fans want. So I think the Rock Vs Roman match would have still been the main event of Mania 40 and Cody's story would have concluded sometime around Summerslam or something.
You say that like Cody wasn’t a Vince guy when he absolutely was. He didn’t sign him to a multi-million dollar contract and beat Seth Rollins thrice for no reason
Bret wrestled multi hardcore matches after that kick.
It makes me so eternally sad how Bret’s career ended and how his WCW run went. He had so much left to give the business and it was taken from him by a no talent hack. The fact that Bret is still bummed about it is so depressing. I can’t even watch this video because of how worked up I would get
I know "CHASE UUUUU~" is the throwaway jokey answer, but imagine if MJF was in Chase U as the male counterpart to Jacy Jayne. imagine a wild series of mixed tags where MJF & Jacy keep beating Thea and whoever, from Riley to Mr. Chase to Duke, which slowly builds MJF up to be a North American or even top title contender.
If Bret never gets concussed bad enough to end his career, hot take Kurt Angle should have been the one to retire him
Bret could of came back 2004/5 and probably would stayed until about 2009/10 would definitely be retired by 2012
If you've seen Bret's match highlights from 2010, you'll see that the masterful artist is still inside him. Had he been 100%, all of Shawn's matches from 2002-2010 would have been Sunday Night Heat dark matches compared to Bret's library. I mean, that's already the case, but Bret would have been added more to it.
Bret retired himself. Bret wrestled multiple matches after the Goldberg kick despite knowing he was concussed. He even willingly took a chair shot to the head from Terry Funk! Bret was a big enough star that he could have demanded time off to recover from the concussion, but he made the conscious decision not to
At the time that was the done thing.
Concussions weren't taken as seriously, blaming Bret for what was an expectation isn't fair.
Meanwhile Goldberg just said hurting people didn't matter because he never intended it.
Fuck that guy.
first of all Bret heart did not retire himself second of all I think he would’ve stayed wrestle if it wasn’t for freaking assberg injured him he would’ve had a longer career so the fact that you just wanna type in this comment and act like Goldberg wasn’t a problem and that it was Brett Hart fault that was the whole reason why he had to retire that just sounds stupid Hell, who knows? I wouldn’t be surprised if Goldberg decided to do it on purpose because Brent was the better wrestler than him and he hate him so much for how much of a good person he was. He decides to freaking end his career because he knows that everybody came to see him and WCW instead of him because you know how these inner invaders are do you want to act like they’re a bunch of ass? And they are worried that the talented one could take their spot so they decided to freaking camper somebody else’s legacy for whatever reason I don’t think it was any thing about that for what you just said, but in my opinion, I think he would’ve been OK but you just seeing all that just sounds childish to me
If goldberg never kicked bret, bret would have just been bitching about someone and something else for the last 20 years.
Or he would have been happy and not bitched because he didn't lose his dream job early.
Bill Goldberg*
@@patrickstar8177 that just killed me. 🤣🤣
@@chrissalem3747 lmao it might be the best thing Bret has ever done
@@patrickstar8177 I actually just rewatched that promo last night where he's US champ and says "bill Goldberg" about a dozen times every time he says his name. It was absolutely hilarious.
I’m going to sound like a hater but Brett Hart was a diet version of Kurt Angle.
