We often hear about rumours of booking that was canned for one reason or another, whether it be injury, being shoved in the doghouse or drug policy violations.
So based on all these murmurs and 'loldirtsheets' reports, what moments do you hear about and think 'oh my god, I wish that had happened' ?
For me it is Regal's megapush after winning KOTR. I love me some William and, while I was not actually watcing at the time, I have often heard that he was due to win the WHC and be elevated too the main event until his push was derailed after a wellness policy violation.
Back when the WHC meant something, it would have been great to have Regal hold it as a swansong for his career. Greatest wrestler never to win a major title in my view.

Re: What is your biggest 'I wish that had happened' moment
to start off, i would have really really liked to see James Storm win the title back from Roode to end up their feud. unfortunately for him Austin Aries came by.
talking about Austin Aries, i would have wanted for him to keep the x division title this year and go and face Bully Ray at Destination X. Regardless if he won or not, that would have been better than a month long Sabin reign

Mine is the Beniot v. Punk match that was spose to determine the new ECW champ in 2007. I was mega excited and MEGA devastated by what actually went down....

Another side effect being that we missed out on Vince McMahon's Hobo Army... :ymsigh:badnewzxl wrote:Mine is the Beniot v. Punk match that was spose to determine the new ECW champ in 2007. I was mega excited and MEGA devastated by what actually went down....
Good topic! I could go on for a while, but the first two things that come to mind...
1. The Ambrose vs Foley angle that never took off.
2. I'm often alone on this, but I was such a huge Mr Kennedy mark. Rumor had it they were gonna strap him. I would have loved to have seen where that went.
Re: What is your biggest 'I wish that had happened' moment
I forgot about both of those. I, too, am a big Kennedy/Anderson fan and I felt the WWE kinda made a rash decision getting rid of him. And I was PUMPED about the rumored Foley/Ambrose feud; sad that it didn't come to fruition, but the Shield has been pretty damn good for ten whole months....Bob-O wrote:Another side effect being that we missed out on Vince McMahon's Hobo Army... :ymsigh:badnewzxl wrote:Mine is the Beniot v.

- his MITB run that was supposed to end at WM.
- he being McMahon's son after the 'who killed McMahon' story that never took off
Re: What is your biggest 'I wish that had happened' moment
I'm good on that one. I've never been big on Kayfabe Paternity in angles. Even Kane/Paul Bearer missed me completely. I don't like to think about Paul Bearer having sex with a woman that would result in Kane. I mean, I don't like to think about Paul Bearer having sex at all, but especially in this case.cero2k wrote:he being McMahon's son after the 'who killed McMahon' story that never took off
Indeed. The YouTube videos from Foley/Ambrose were GOOD STUFF, but The Shield is a nice consolation prize.badnewzxl wrote:And I was PUMPED about the rumored Foley/Ambrose feud; sad that it didn't come to fruition, but the Shield has been pretty damn good for ten whole months....

Re: What is your biggest 'I wish that had happened' moment
The Foley-Ambrose feud is a big one for me, but I think my top one is Gabe's intended finish for the Jacobs-Aries I Quit blowoff match (which I used in my ROH fantasy booking [giving Gabe full credit for it)].
Two others that I don't know for sure if they were actually every really planned would be Brock vs. Taker at Mania and turning the second Rock vs. Cena match into a Triple Threat with Punk.

Re: What is your biggest 'I wish that had happened' moment
Remember when Edge came back? Shoved the then Edgeheads Hawkins and Ryder around? Seemed to turn heel further by having words with Christian? Then the people just wouldn't have it, cheered h still, and his thought to be sheepish actions were explained, and voila, still face. I'd just've liked another huge dominant heel run from him....
That reminded me of another one....remember when Matt was the one revealed to be Jeff's attacker, and Christian was returning facing Swagger on new ECW? That was supposed to be reversed, with Christian reuniting with Edge...
DAMM the dirtsheets causing the rewrite!

This! So what if the finish to the rumble match got out? People are still going to buy the show for the Royal Rumble, and Edge & Christian vs. Matt & Jeff would have done TONS more buys than Matt vs. Jeff and whatever the hell Edge & Christian did on that show.KILLdozer wrote:Remember when Edge came back?

Re: What is your biggest 'I wish that had happened' moment
I'm tellin you...plus it would've given young folk of today a glimpse of yesterday's TLC greatness, and Lord knows the promos...Matt and Jeff somewhat flopped, and would pale in comparison to what you'd get out of ...E and C V Hardys....ONE...MORE...TIME!Big Red Machine wrote:This!
