WWE Redo - 1994

As you all remember,I did a special called WWE Redo - 1993,where I traveled back in time and changed the course of the WWE in 1993,by mind manipulating Vince McMahon.

Well,I continue my antics in 1994. So here we go:

- We kick things off with the WWE Royal Rumble 1994. Everything's the same except for 2 things: 1 - It's the Steiner Brothers who hold the Tag Titles and not the Quebecers. And 2 - In the Royal Rumble Match,Crush is eliminated by Randy Savage. Pissed,the eliminated Crush eliminates Savage.

- The next night on RAW,Crush explains his actions - an eye for an eye. He then apologises to Savage and asks him to be his tag partner as they challenge the Quebecers for the #1 contender spot for the tag titles. Savage accepts. During the match,Crush betrays Savage and joins Mr.Fuji. 

- The Next Week,Crush explains everything. He's sick of being overlooked and wants to be on top. Crush believes that Mr.Fuji can make his dreams happen. He then treatens Randy Savage and Everyone else who dares get in his way. Savage interferes with Crush's match later that night. This starts the Savage-Crush feud,which ends at Wrestlemania X.

- In February,The Quebecers defeat the Steiners for the Tag Team Gold.

- In March everything goes on as normal.

- In Late April,Randy Savage and Shawn Michaels begin a mini-feud (started over michaels' interference in the razor/diesel intercontenental title match). This leads a Hair v Carrer Match,with Michaels' Hair put on the line against Savage's Wrestling Carrer. Randy Savage loses and remains a Commentator. He does co-host Mania with Todd Pettengill.

In May,everything goes on as normal. Well,except for the short Savage/Michaels feud. The WWF Women's division begins to grow.

In June,everything goes on as normal....except No Underfaker! Instead,Ted Dibiase introduces The Reaper,a grim-reaper themed wrestler,who he claims is the Undertaker's replacement...The "New Undertaker",if you will. Dibiase claims he got The Reaper from the same place that he got The Undertaker way back in 1990. Dibiase claims that The Reaper possesses all of the same powers that the Undertaker had,but that The Reaper is superior in every way. The Reaper is played by Brian Lee. The Reaper makes his debut a week later and is everything Dibiase says he is..except more sadistic.

- In July,everything goes on as normal.

- In August,everything goes on as normal,except at Summerslam. At the event,The Undertaker returns to fight and defeat The Reaper,instead of the Underfaker. Also The Hart Bros. Steel Cage Match is moved to the Main Event. The RAW after Summerslam,Undertaker declairs war on all of those who attempted to end him. The exceptions being The Headshrinkers and Adam Bomb (who he says have repented). The 1st body he wants to bury is Jeff Jarrett and that He'll take care of Yokozuna last. Undertaker and Jarrett have a match next week.

- In September,The Undertaker's crusade against his enemies continues. Other than this,nothing is changed.

- In October,There are only 2 changes: One Minor,One Major. First the minor: Jerry Lawler only brings ONE Mini-King to the WWF,Sleazy. Now the major...

WARNING!! WARNING!! History Changing Event In Effect!! WARNING!! WARNING!!

.....After much convincing and negotiation by (the mind-controlled) Vince McMahon,Randy "Macho Man" Savage decides to renew his contract with the WWF until the Spring of '95.

- November has a small host of changes. First off,as a thank you for resigning,Jack "The Figure-Head President" Tunney grants "Macho Man" Randy Savage One Final Post-Retirement Bonus Match against Bob Backlund. Next change is that Savage is a Color Commentator at the Survivor Series.

- Survivor Series Change #2: The Bad Guys look much stronger against the Teamsters,and they manage to eliminate Owen Hart,Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart,and "Double J" Jeff Jarrett. Shawn Michaels and (mostly) Diesel eliminate the 1-2-3 Kid,The Headshrinkers,and "British Bulldog" Davey Smith. Other that this major change,the match ends as normal.

- Survivor Series Change #3: Doink and Dink battle Jerry "The King" Lawler and his Mini-King Sleasy in a tag match at the Survivor Series. So it's not Clowns R Us v The Royal Family.

- Survivor Series Change #5: Guts N Glory does way better against the Million Dollar Team...with Guts and Glory winning.

- The final change of the month has Bob Backlund keep the WWF Championship for a longer period of time. He loses it to Diesel in early January. Other than these changes,everything goes on as normal.

In December,Bret "Hitman" Hart is granted a WWF title shot at the Royal Rumble.

And with that,the Course of WWE has changed for the better in 1994.

Next Time on WWE Redo: We rescue the WWE from many bad things,including a bad start in the Monday Night Wars. It's WWE Redo - 1995,next time.

Until next time,RetroHeadz,God Bless and Stay Gold.

WWE Redo - 1993

Imagine if you had a time machine and could go back to any point in history. Imagine if you were a person with mind controling powers. You could change history. Change it for the better or for the worse.

If I had those things,I'd change the course of the #1 name in Wrestling: The WWE. I'd go back in time to one of WWE's periods and use my mind controling abilities on Vince McMahon,where I'd make him change the company for the better. With that said,Retro Talk is proud to present: WWE Redo.

Here are the changes I'd have McMahon make in 1993:

- Wrestlemania XI was concidered one of the worst 'Mania's in terms if booking. Well let's change things up shall we. Tatanka defeats Shawn Michaels for the Intercontenental Championship,thus establishing his Wrestlemania Moment (he'll lose it to Michaels at the king of the ring). Crush defeats Doink in a big way,ending their fued. Mr.Perfect defeats The Narcissist Lex Luger. The Undertaker defeats Giant Gonzalez via pinfall,thus ending their feud. Money Inc defeats The Mega Maniacs,via IRS's briefcase. Yokozuna defeats Bret Hart for the title,And Hogan is nowhere in sight.

- Hogan challenges Yokozuna for the title on RAW,but Fuji wants to humiliate Hogan at a bigger venue...namely The King of the Ring. After a big loss at the hands of Crush,Doink desides to target someone else....The Undertaker. Doink and The Undertaker begin their Joker v Batman-esque fued (which ends at summerslam in a casket match). Instead of Crush v Shawn Michaels for the IC Belt at the King of the Ring,it's Tatanka v Michaels for the gold. HBK wins cleanly. Hogan fights and loses to Yokozuna. Soon,Hogan leaves the WWE. Bret Hart still wins the 1993 King of the Ring,so that hasn't changed.

At SummerSlam,The Undertaker fights and defeats Doink in a Casket Match,ending their feud. Jerry "the King Lawler" was in Doinks corner. Speaking of Lawler,earlier in the show he faught Bret Hart (right off the bat,this time) and one by DQ,when Hart refused to release the Sharpshooter. Lex Luger defeats Yokozuna and wins the WWE World Title (though he loses it to Yokozuna at the Survivor Series,thanks to Fuji and Cornette). Giant Gonzalez stays with the WWE until Early December. Gonzalez stays a heel,btw.

- The Headshrinkers,and NOT the Quebecers,defeat the Steiner Brothers for the WWE Tag Titles. Steiners win them back in December. This is one of the most Important changes,as the 1st Dark Era of The WWE Tag Division,won't be as dark. Also Ludvig Borga feuds with Tatanka,Not Lex Luger. And Crush's heel turn is posponed until after The Royal Rumble. Speaking of turns,Doink becomes a Babyface soon after SummerSlam.

- At the Survivor Series,things go as planned,except for a few things: Yokozuna fights Lex Luger and beats him for the title,thanks to Mr.Fuji and Jim Cornette. The Foreign Fanatics v All American's match is NOT the Main Event,Plus each team has different members. The Fanatics have: The Quebecers,Ludvig Borga,and Giant Gonzalez. The All Americans have: The Steiner Bros.,The Undertaker,and Tatanka. Also the teams are renamed to Borga's Brutes and Tatanka's Braves.

- The Doinks v Team Bam Bam is a more serious affair and the show's Only 5-on-5 match. Men on a Mission and The Bushwackers wrestle as themselves,with Doink the only one dressed as...well,Doink. The 5th member of Team Bam Bam is the Brooklyn Brawler. Oh,BTW,Bastian Booger is the first one eliminated from that match. Also,The Doinks are renamed to Team Doink.

- The night after the Surviver Series,it is revealed to Cornette,Fuji,and Yokozuna that the Undertaker has been named the #1 contender for the WWF Championship at the Royal Rumble.

- Yokozuna,fearing the Undertaker,tries to put him on the shelf before the Royal Rumble. The Undertaker-Yokozuna feud begins.

- In December,The Headshrinkers lose the tag titles to The Steiner Bros (who defend them against the Harts at the '94 Royal Rumble,but lose them to the Quebecers in febuary). Feeling that he had been cheated out of his title at Surviver Series,Lex Luger announcess his entry into the 1994 Royal Rumble. Jack "The Figurehead President" Tunney grants him entry,right off the bat.

And with that,the Course of WWE has changed for the better in 1993. An interesting idea,for sure. Expect more like this in the future. Trust me,I have plans for more WWE Redo's.

Until next time,RetroHeadz,God Bless and Stay Gold.
