  1. WI: No John Cena?

    I think you would see the likes of Carlito, Chris Masters, Mr Kennedy, Jeff Hardy all given a real shot at the top, as WWE would be looking for that big breakout star c.2006-2008. Again, like those mentioned for leading WWE in 2004-5, they probably struggle, but I definitely think without Cena...
  2. WWE Network

    I mostly agree with you about the current programming being some of the best in recent times, its merely an argument I have seen made elsewhere. Smackdown has became non-essential viewing and isn't even used to give up and coming stars the air time and storylines they need, instead merely...
  3. WWE Network

    New original programming as was originally expected. More history of wrestling documentaries, interviews with the stars, stories from being on the road etc are things I think the hardcore fan base who are paying or the network want to see. Also series of old Monday Night Raw and WCW Monday Nitro...
  4. King Edward IV lives another 15 years

    Sorry I was referring to the figure who Edward III supposedly met and who claimed to be his father, and to the plot of the Earl of Kent supposedly believing his half brother was alive, as evidence that pretenders or claimants existed and the rumour could cause problems. Guess that didn't come...
  5. King Edward IV lives another 15 years

    Because exactly the same horror and suspicion would occur as did in OTL when the Princes were believed to be dead. In hindsight Richard should have came out and said they were dead, removing them as a threat before rebellions could begin in their name(and then adopt Tudor). However, at the time...
  6. WI:USA won against Belgium on 2014 World Cup

    They get beat off Argentina in the following round :p
  7. WI: Richard II defeated Henry Bolingbroke?

    I think Monmouth likely inherits at least a portion of the Lancaster inheritance once he comes of age, although Richard will likely keep/redistribute some of it to his court circle. As for the issue of the succession, I've seen it speculated that the reason Richard accepted such a young...
  8. 2010 US Presidential Election

    This TL is the reason I joined and remain on AH.com. Keep up the good work, cant wait for the election to really get going!:D
  9. Pro-Wrestling PODs

    Providing his relationship with Stephanie goes as it does OTL presumably he becomes more involved in the business side of things earlier on? Wrestling wise the Raw brand would be a lot more interesting without H's long periods of dominance. This may give non-WWE guys like RVD and Booker T a...
  10. Pilgrimage of Grace

    In the autumn of 1536 Henry VIII faced a rebellion in the North of England which sought to remove his evil councillors and reverse the religious reforms which had been implemented. Henry ultimately tricked the rebels with offers of negotiation and pardon, but had the rebels given battle to the...
  11. Real "English" Royalty

    William the Conqueror faced a number of rebellions and potential threats from the likes of Godwine, son of Harold Godwineson and Edgar Aetheling, if the Anglo-Saxons can unite on mass behind a pretender, and perhaps gain foreign support there is a chance the English can be restored to the throne.
  12. WI: Henry VIII killed in 1513

    Thomas Howard had been a loyal Yorkist until Bosworth brought down their house, it would be interesting to see what two proven soldiers like Howard and De la Pole could do together. Also in 1514 the French gave Richard control of a large army and Richard came close to launching an invasion until...
  13. The Rose of Lancaster

    But would Edward make this girl a duchess in her own right, when she is presumably going to become Princess of Wales. It elevates her in her own right instead of in her to-be husbands and highlights the survival of Lancaster which I cant see Edward wanting to do until she has been wed to...
  14. The Rose of Lancaster

    A great read so far! :D Only small issue would be that I can't see Edward making the Lancastrian Princess a Duchess in her own right.
  15. 2010 US Presidential Election

    Congratulations on reaching the 5 year mark. I have enjoyed this since before I even signed up to AH.com. Keep up the good work!
  16. Nixon wins California governorship 1962

    Could butterfly or at least delay the rise of the rightward turn of the Republicans if Nixon runs and wins, as it was Goldwater's candidacy that really laid the grass root foundations for the Conservative swing. Whether Nixon would run against LBJ in '64 on the back of Kennedy's assassination is...
  17. The Kings Name is a Tower of Strength

    Hey everyone. Sorry for the delay, Uni work has been crazy the last few weeks. Hopefully the next proper update will be up shortly but until then here is a little taster of things to come. Our most gracious lord, King Richard and his new Queen having completed their progress, seem at once to...
  18. What if Richard of Gloucester was appointed guardian of Prince Edward

    Military ability and loyalty are valued traits in late medieval England but Richard, has a lot on his plate straight after Barnet. Plus by the time Edward's son is ready to be entrusted to someone (I think IOTL he was 3 when he was established at Ludlow) Richard will be beginning his struggle...
  19. What if Richard of Gloucester was appointed guardian of Prince Edward

    I would imagine that just after Barnet Richard is too young to be entrusted the care of his nephew (Richard is just 20 at this point) which could be the main stumbling block. also if you have Edward V die in 1485 then you get a presumably Woodville influenced Richard of Shrewsbury on the...
