Scott's Blog of Doom

Scott,

     May I get a "cheap plug" for my latest column?  

I hypothetically asked:  What if Vince McMahon Jr. NEVER existed?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter and the column.

Thanks,

-Mr. Tito

I'd agree with most of the major points here. Crockett was definitely on the verge of a breakthrough before Jim Herd fucked it all up, and Dusty has often contended that without Vince, he could have taken WCW national a lot sooner.  We'll give him the benefit of the doubt, I guess, and without Vince he's got a clear shot at Hulk Hogan.  Really, whoever got Hulk (except for Verne) was going to ride the money train to the top.  However, without someone like Vince to take the chance on Wrestlemania and the PPV market, things would otherwise likely be segmented and territorial.  Maybe it would be better that way in some ways, although dozens of backstabbing promoters fighting each other for small pieces of the pie could end up a disaster just as easily. 

An interesting column!
