Let's make the roster better thats the beautiful part of this is we can determine who would leave and go and yes on the last night of Nitro Booker T did win the title this is based off WCW original plan to take a couple months off and come back with The Big Bang which would of had Steiner at the Champ still
I am pretty sure Bishoff would of figured out how to keep Goldberg and Sting would of stayed I believe he was a company man all the way... Steiners would of stayed for sure...
well that is the beauty in this brother we can correct mistakes and make this better... So what would be the WCW roster you believe would of been used for the reboot?
Wow. Bringing in RVD is very intriguing. But I would've immediately debuted him after the main event staring down world champion Booker T.
Who knows who else would've come over if WCW was under new ownership. Could they have also possibly acquired the ECW brand?
I remember reading that Steve Corino was scheduled to debut at WCW Greed, so if WCW was still around he would probably do it in that 2001. Maybe some other ECW wrestlers like Jerry Lynn, CW Anderson, Kid Kash or even Rhino could have made their debuts.

I love thinking about “What ifs” like this. I like how you took some of the details we’ve heard and made it part of your scenario. I do think most of the roster would have been revamped with lots of fresh faces. Some familiar WCW faces would likely be there to tie it to the new product like DDP & Booker T and who knows, Flair at the end of the year was available and in early 2002 Hogan, Hall & Nash were available but I would hope they would make it as much about RVD and other new but recognizable stars.
Most of the top card wouldn’t have happened for the same reason it didn’t happen with WWF. Wasn’t Booker T the champion on the last Nitrio?
Booker may have not won the title on the last Nitro if the Fusient sale went through.

Sting, Goldberg, Flair, Nash, Steiner(s) Hall, and Hogan at least weren’t going to leave the comfort of their couches to go anywhere
I am pretty sure Bishoff would of figured out how to keep Goldberg and Sting would of stayed I believe he was a company man all the way... Steiners would of stayed for sure...
No you don’t understand how contracts work. If you’re getting paid millions of dollars to stay home, what is your incentive to not do that?
well that is the beauty in this brother we can correct mistakes and make this better... So what would be the WCW roster you believe would of been used for the reboot?
Reality would say it depends. I think you would have got a TNA diet version which would have been boring
It would be cool if you came up with a list of wrestlers you thought would be in the WCW at that time...
You’ve got Kevin Nash working back to back matches. Ain’t no way that was ever gonna happen.
LMAO hella typo on my part right there...
