How did they survive?
 
Woah, I wanna see a spin off thread on how this came about now.
Maybe. I do plan on having some notable wrestling what if's happen in my other timeline "Bolieve"
How did they survive?
WCW: Eric Bischoff and Fusient Media brought the company in 2001. This almost happened IOTL but FM backed out of the deal
ECW: HBO gave them a TV deal result in the creation of ECW IMPACT. IMPACT would later move on to Spike TV in the mid 2000's

Staples Center

FEATURES_150529893_AR_0_TDMXRXWJVCYI.jpg


Nia Volesky is in the dressing room for her boyfriend Travis Russell. Rainbow Rebels have just performed their hit single, "There's No Tomorrow" off of Generation Loss. That album is currently a major frontrunner for several awards that night, having already won Best Alternative Music Album and also having nominations for Best Rock Performance and Album of the Year. Nia hears someone enter the room. It isn't Travis, but instead another familiar, if rather unexpected face that she gotten used to see for the past few years

[REDACTED]: Oh hey, Nia!

Nia Volesky: Uh, hi. What the hell are you doing here?

R: Oh I thought I would swing by here to watch the show and hang around backstage, ya know?

NV: I understand.

R: So it looks like Travis and his band are having a pretty big night today.

NV: Yeah, that performance was really good.

R: I bet it was... Say I want to ask you something. Whenever he is out touring or making music, do you ever feel… lonely?

NV: To be honest, yes. But he just doesn’t want me to distract him while he’s working. Plus, I’m sure he feels the same about me while he’s on the road.

R: You don’t know that, and you just said that he views you as a distraction.

NV: Look, one thing I know for sure is that he loves me and I love him.

R: Maybe he does, but there’s a saying that I heard that I believe you should take to heart. People who want to live like rockstars, want to f*ck like p*rnstars.

NV: Nonsense, he would never cheat on me.

R: That might be true for now, but what about in the future? The more popular he gets, the less like it is that he will find time to be with you. Maybe he might get desperate for some affection and decide to find someone else to satisfy his needs. Meanwhile, we see each other almost everyday. We work together, we bounce ideas off of each other and we make so many great things when we’re together.

NV: What are you trying to imply here?

R: I like your presence, and I just… would hate to see you all alone. Do you trust me?

NV: Y-you’re kinda making me uncomfortable right now. I’m gonna go-

R: No don’t leave, please

NV: What the- let go of me!

Nia and [REDACTED] get into an altercation. Travis ends up hearing this and enters the room to see [REDACTED] holding Nia against the wall

Travis Russell: Babe, you alr- What the F*ck are you doing!

R: None of your damn business!

Travis tries to push [REDACTED] away from Nia leading to [REDACTED] and Travis getting into a fight

TR: Get your hands off of her you b*tch.

Travis knocks [REDACTED] out, then turns to see Nia crying

TR: Are you ok?

NV: Y-yeah. I’m fine.

TR: Come on, let’s go.

Travis and Nia both leave the venue. Unbeknownst to the two of them however, this event would result in something that would greatly effect both of their lives

Off-Topic: I love when authors understand that a "Content Warning" must go BEFORE the story, not after.

It's like put a signal that says "Warning: Cliff" at the bottom of a cliff.

Is this the villain you were talking about before?
 
I know, I'm gonna have to go back and re-read everything because I have no clue what "Rainbow Rebels" and "Travis Russell" are
I'd say there's only four updates so far that you absolutely need to read to understand this particular storyline ("You're Hired", "Light Goes Out", "One Fine Day at Crazy Titan Entertainment" and "Decade of Decay")
Off-Topic: I love when authors understand that a "Content Warning" must go BEFORE the story, not after.

It's like put a signal that says "Warning: Cliff" at the bottom of a cliff.
Thank you for the kind words
Is this the villain you were talking about before?
Yep, [REDACTED]'s back and they are only going to get worse
 
I'd say there's only four updates so far that you absolutely need to read to understand this particular storyline ("You're Hired", "Light Goes Out", "One Fine Day at Crazy Titan Entertainment" and "Decade of Decay")
I'm back after reading the updates, now you have me intrigued as to who this villain might be and how the storyline would unfold
 
Fake News
I'm back after reading the updates, now you have me intrigued as to who this villain might be and how the storyline would unfold
[REDACTED] has a lot of power in the entertainment Industry, for example

THE TRUTH BEHIND TRAVIS RUSSELL EXIT AT THE GRAMMY AWARDS REVEALED?
- TMZ
Travis Russel 1.jpg


"One of the major headlines coming after the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards was the strange disappearance of Travis Russell. After performing There's No Tomorrow, the Rainbow Rebels frontman was reported to have left the ceremony early with no prior warning. The group second performance, originally listed as being for the song Washed Away in early rundowns of the show, was instead replaced with Not The One to Rescue, a song that features guitarist Ace Taylor on vocals. Many people were confused as to why he was absent for the second half of the broadcast and now we might have found a more clear picture as to what happened.

An anonymous source has told us that Travis didn't chose to leave on his accord, but rather was asked by Grammy's staff members to exit the building after he verbally berated and attacked someone backstage during the show.

When asked for comment, management for the band stated that while Russell did leave due to an event that occurred during the ceremony, they vehemently deny that the supposed incident occurred in the way our source described. We at TMZ will continue to update on this story as it progresses."

cars-2-movie-poster-triptych-01.jpg

Distributed by Crazy Titan Entertainment on June 24, 2011

The idea for Cars 2 was actually inspired by a deleted scene from the original movie. The scene featured Lightning and Sally going see a spy movie starring Finn McMissile infiltrating an oil rig owned by a group of lemon cars. While it didn't make it into the final cut of the film, it would stay in the mind of director John Lasseter while he was in Europe promoting the first movie.

In-between the release of Cars 1 and 2, Paul Newman (the voice of Doc Hudson) and George Carlin (the voice of Fillmore) would sadly pass away before they could record their lines. While recasting both characters was considered, it was decided that only Fillmore would get recast, with Doc Hudson being removed from the film.

Cars 2 would be financially successful, grossing 398 million on a budget of 200 million dollars. The movie was critically panned when it first came out, with many reviewers disliking the story and extreme violence.
