2: Bill Cosby, Dan Schneider, and the Koch brothers? I don't see this channel lasting into the new millennium if viewers were smart about what they were watching.
3: Sweet writing cred!
4: It would take some serious talent to make this work.
5: Not bad.

Does he get exposed as an abusive scumbag sooner than he was IOTL?

Hi Andrew. Long time no see. How do you like this thread so far?

Also, Whedon's days ITTL are numbered. He was outed early in @Geekhis Khan's Henson-At-Disney thread.

Statement from New Line Productions, Inc.
April 3, 1998

"In the past few months, we have received numerous complaints about Joss Whedon's behavior on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. As of today, an outside legal firm will conduct an investigation into the allegations against Mr. Whedon. During this time, production on the third season of Buffy will be put on hold until the investigation is complete. If the allegations of Mr. Whedon's misconduct turn out to be true, his involvement with the series will be terminated immediately."​

Well if Navy doesn't get back to you, how about the use of these characters in the next mainline sonic game: Perfect Chaos.

Can I have the Sega Aurora’s technical specs?

Those specs are on its post, Toby. Just look in the threadmarks.

1. That's good. Hopefully Firefly can still be made if Whedon can control himself better for now on ITTL.
2. Soooooo... I hate to ask this but who is part of the NWA in this timeline? 20 bucks Cornette is part of it but who else is in charge. Actually does the NWA have the territories like they used to have OTL or did that go away like the dodo? As for the wrestler who could help shape the NWA, and I'm gonna be blunt. Please let it be Triple H.
3. Looks like Sky TV 2.0 is ready for an epic fail before it starts.
4. 700 Club on AEG TV. whatever, never cared for the show. So moving on.
5. Sounds pretty good actually. Hope it works out.

1) The Joss Whedon Rehab Tour is already under way.
2) Okay so we'll have both Curt Hennig and Paul Levesque on board. Now we'll have to pick between Shane McMahon, Gave Sapolsky, Jim Cornette, Eric Bischoff or Paul Heyman to actually lead the NWA.
3) and 4) Unfortunately some people don't learn from other people's failures. If AEG does flame out, Anschutz and the Kochs will each have more than enough to pour into it.
5) I think I might need some help with the storylines. DM me if you guys have any ideas.

Why Shane McMahon? Also Jim Cornette and Heyman could work? Maybe? If not then maybe Bischoff and McMahon could work for a while?

3) and 4) Unfortunately some people don't learn from other people's failures. If AEG does flame out, Anschutz and the Kochs will each have more than enough to pour into it.

Then I will be ready to watch their world burn. *goes and make popcorn*
