Would you be stanning Magnum T.A.?

[El Cocodrilo]

Was just listening to Stone Cold's podcast when he talks about Magnum TA, and we've all heard the story with this dude. He was a good talent with a great look and unlimited potential.

My question to tsc is... what do you guys think woulda happened if Magnum hadnt gotten crippled in that car accident? Would dude be hosting Wrestlemania XXX right now instead of Hogan? Would he have joined the nWo? Had a run with the belt on WCW versus the nWo? Become a player during the attitude era? Would this dude being around displace another star that got to be WCW or WWE champ instead?

Would this dude be Ric Flair status, Dusty Rhodes status? William Regal? Or would his career been over in the early 90's anyway?

What are your thoughts my good brehs?

I'm trying to think of a lesser HOGAN role...like STING but better in every way...?

That just makes me think of Magnum TA with the Crow Sting look/makeup. White face but he still has the Magnum mustache.

he wouldve had razor ramons spot...

Would he though? Hall has that greasy bad guy look, this guy really looks like a good guy. Maybe he woulda been the perfect rival for Razor.

I honestly don't know. It's hard to picture where his place would be in the attitude era or the 90's in general. How would his look have changed? Would the belly to belly still be his finisher?

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

his stache would have been in all Hall of Fames

i wonder the same thing about Pillman, though he didnt have the upside that T.A. seemed to have

 

[KevCo]

I think he would have been the guy Flair dropped the title too bfore coming to the E the first time, thus changing the course of history.

 

[El Cocodrilo]

Would the belly to belly still be his finisher?

Hopefully.

I'm assuming he'd do some kind of Powerbomb or Piledriver variation

razors doppleganger?

 

[El Cocodrilo]

razors doppleganger?

Hey... Ya'll.

 

[3Rivers]

razors doppleganger?

He's like some sort of "Big" Scott Hall/Jake Roberts hybrid

 

[KevCo]

this thread got me watching that match from Starcade 85, I aint seen it since I was a kid and had to rent it....

shame on WWE for giving Bo Dallas his belly to belly suplex

 

[Nintendough]

He would have been one of the biggest stars of the 80's, then during the 90's the hair mustache would have got cut shorter and he would have been one of the main guys fighting against NWO along side Flair, Piper, DDP, Stink etc.

Bo doesn't take moves. You simply keep the move warm until Bo decides to claim what is his...
