Option A or B

Hi Scott

Thought I'd do one of these again because I've always enjoyed your responses and I enjoy writing these as well. They always seem to stimulate conversation on the blog as well.

For those of you new to the game, I give Scott two options, A or B, and ask him to pick his favourite. It's crisp and clean with no caffeine!

Number 1

Which Abandoned Storyline would have had the best chance of getting over?

Option A

Jeff Jarrett proclaims to be a great country singer, but all his vocals are actually performed by his Roadie. Roadie gets jealous and we have a feud

Or

Option B

David Flair and Stacy Keibler are engaged and Stacy is pregnant. However, David isn't the father. It eventually comes to light that the father is Vince Russo!

Jesus, did that second one really happen?  Option A by default.

Number 2

What would have made a better ending to Wrestlemania IX?

Option A

Bret slays the monster clean with the Sharpshooter

Or

Option B

The Bret Vs Yokozuna match goes at it did but it happens earlier in the card. Hogan and Beefcake take on Money Inc in the final match and go over clean to send the fans home happy.

Bret beats Yokozuna, loses the title on a later show since it was apparently so fucking important to them to get the belt off Bret. 

Number 3

Who had the better "Boss and Lackey" chemistry?

Option A

Ted Dibiase and Virgil

Or

Raven and Stevie Richards

Well Raven and Richards was more of a co-dependant deal, so we’ll go with the classic Dibiase.

Number 4

What would have been a better progression during and after Starcade 98?

Option A

Nash wins at Starcade but does a strong heel turn while doing so, to try and get some sympathy on Goldberg. Fingerpoke never happens and Hogan turns face and puts Nash over at Super Brawl. Goldberg has to chase until Spring Stampede where he finally wins the title back from Nash and they do the rubber match at Bash at the Beach

Or

Option B

Goldberg goes over Nash clean and continues his title reign. Meanwhile, Wrath beats Bret Hart on the same show for the US Title. You have neither guy do a job and then have them face each other at Bash at the Beach and have Wrath end the streak (Goldberg would have had the belt for a year at this point, so fans would probably be ready for it)

I don’t get why the streak HAD to end.  We’ll go Option B, I guess, but I would kept the belt on Goldberg until he stopped drawing. 

Number 5

As a winner of the 1999 King of the Ring instead of Mr Ass

Option A

Hardcore Holly

Or

Option B

Big Show

Big Show should not have done a job in the promotion until he got to Austin on PPV, so Show. 

Number 6

Instead of Big Show winning the WWF Title at the 1999 Survivor Series, the title is won by

Option A

Mick Foley

Or

Option B

Test

Either way it’s a placeholder for HHH by Royal Rumble, so we’ll go with Foley to really twist the knife when he loses at Rumble. 

Number 7

Triple H Victim from 2002 that could have benefitted business the most by winning the big match

Option A

Booker T

Or

Option B

Rob Van Dam

 

Well Booker was a victim from 2003, but RVD was the guy who they unified all the titles to set up his win and then HHH changed his mind, so we’ll go with Rob.

Number 8

Who would have made a better WWF World Champion at their peak overness

Option A

Razor Ramon

Or

Option B

Mr. Perfect

At his peak overness Ramon was gone to WCW, so Perfect. 

Number 9

Which wrestler and manager pairing would have had the most success in a major league promotion in 2000?

Option A

CW Anderson managed by Arn Anderson

Or

Steve Corino managed by Jim Cornette

AA as a manager = NO BUYS.

And finally

Number 10

Which do you think was the better match from 1998?

Option A

Masato Tanaka Vs Mike Awesome - ECW Heatwave 98

Or

Option B

DDP Vs Goldberg - Halloween Havoc 98

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e57hdaTv0sA

I like almost all of the Awesome-Tanaka matches, so we’ll go with that.
