American Magic: The Sequel (2005-present)

[TheMatthew25]

JIM CORNETTE:
"As if it weren't bad enough that the combined talents of Ian Rotten, Vince Russo and Dixie Carter somehow convinced Warner Bros to put IWA-Mid South on their channel, they kept running their idiotic bi-weekly program while all the other networks preempted their programming to report on the murder of Harvey Weinstein. Those unlucky enough to be watchin' the Dubya Bee when IWA was on got to see Ian Rotten defecate on Mickie Knuckles in the middle of the ring for his finishing move. That wasn't kayfabe rubber dog poop, folks. That was LITERAL SHIT from the asshole of John Benson Williams, aka Ian Rotten. Oh yeah, and after that, he had a shoot match with some guy named Mike Levy."​

Question, how is IWA-Mid South even this big to be on the WB on this timeline. Doubt they would be even as successful as TNA was on Spike TV in OTL. Who are the wrestlers in their company?

Question 2: Where Paul Heyman in this timeline anyways? I know ECW doesn't exist in this timeline but how is he doing? Hate to also ask where Hulk Hogan after the Battle Dome failed?

Question 3: I know this isn't a wrestling timeline but wow I still have more questions than answers. Sorry to bother on this but my last comment on Wrestling didn't go anywhere, so I thought I ask again.

Vinny Roo pretty much pitched IWA to the WB as the "next greatest thing." Either that, or maybe the WB's brass were desperate for ratings, I dunno. Besides Rotten there's Tommy Dreamer, New Jack, Raven, Billy Kidman, Disco Inferno, Shane O'Mac, Sandman, Sabu, Nick Gage, Necrobutcher and Mickie Knuckles.

Heyman is now at WCW.

 

[Igeo654]

Also, ECW DOES exist and still exists actually. It's just that it's moved away from its old Hardcore style towards something akin to UFC.

Heyman is now at WCW.

Wow, that honestly doesn't surprise me that much. Why is Shane O'Mac there? Also there some names like Nick Gage and Necrobutcher that I forgot about.. It been years since I watch old CZW stuff…

Also, ECW DOES exist and still exists actually. It's just that it's moved away from its old Hardcore style towards something akin to UFC.

So it does exist. But what is it history and why did it move toward UFC instead of being what Ring of Honor is in OTL? I like the idea of ECW being more like UFC, but it kinda weird to be honest.

Third thing, how did Battle Dome ended? Think i glance over it but I don't remember. Also, how is WCW doing in this timeline since WWF closure?

WCW is doing okay.

Battle Dome folded along with the Trump Manhattan movie studio.

Vince McMahon still owns Titan Sports, which has been focusing on Arena Football, Roller Hockey and the Harlem Globetrotters.

If I may ask a few things...

1: Were there any plans to include Casper into the Haunted Mansion?
2: What has Fox Kids amounted to recently?
3: Has a Crash Bandicoot cartoon happened yet? If not, how likely would it be?
4: Are people more forgiving of Cars being a Dreamworks property, due to their more contemporary jokes? For that matter, what is Dreamworks of ITTL like as of now?

 

[Kara0616]

What has Fox Kids amounted to recently?

I don't think Fox Kids even exists ITTL.
