Ya'll do realize that if WCW never existed in the 90s...

Hoegan vs Bret in 93 if hoegan went over its curtains. WCW was shytting on WWF as far as quality pre hoegan they got burned by sid playing with scissors and Rude back going out but WCW was still better product.


Warrior was stale when he returned Piper was washed up too but Piper and flair did put Bret over on way out Hoegan didn't wanna do business with anyone he was a piece of shyt by 93 as far as ego went.

Hogan was gone from the WWF after King of the Ring 1993, Piper was semi-retired, and Savage was reduced to being a commentator by Vince by summer of 1994. I don't see any major differences in the WWF in 94, 95, 96, etc compared to a world without WCW.

I don't think the WWF/WWE would have went out of business but definitely wouldn't be anywhere near as popular. No Wrestlemania's at stadiums, no three hour Raw's, no Smackdown, etc.

Hogan was already losing drawing power. Warrior was a failure on top and had fukked off already to go be weird in the desert. Savage didn't like being on the road and went into semi-retirement. Piper had gone into semi-retirement. DiBiase was slowing down as well.

I think Coke Boy would've continued on like he had for the most part trying to push a "New Generation", although without the invention of Nitro, Coke Boy probably would've never changed his booking style and format of the shows and would have driven himself out of business.

I think if Hogan had stayed in WWE and never gone to WCW that eventually he would have decided to do the Hollywood gimmick to extend his career because the same situation would have happened where fans would have started booing face Hogan.
And Hogan being the egomaniac he is would have told Vince that he was going to turn heel so that he could lean into the hatred despite Vince likely refusing to want to do it.

Not sure who Hogan would have picked to be part of his heel stable though. Maybe a heel manager/valet and whatever hel tag team were most over at the time.

If there was no WCW to go to you woulda seen them dudes back within a year or two... meaning Hogan is "gone" after KOTR 93 but comes back for Mania, Savage "retires" but comes back for Mania, etc. Basically the same shyt they do now with the part-timers.
