Can't say I blame ya, dude. My first break from the business was after Benoit died and lasted until WM31, then another break during the Reigns of Boredom, and after watching the whole Retribution storyline crash and burn faster than the Hindenburg, I'll probably come back around the Royal Rumble.
Tonight, In This Very Ring: A Collection of Wrestling Timelines
- Thread starter Megafighter3
- Start date
Have you considered giving AEW, NJPW, or even ROH a shot? They're all putting out good stuff right now.
As for a timeline, how about one where All Out only draws 7,000 or so, and Tony Khan decides not to do AEW, followed by NJPW dropping the Bucks?
Since you're going to be out, i'm gonna give you some suggestions for when you come back.
-What if The Rock stays with the WWE?
-What if CM Punk dies from the staph infection during 2013-14?
-A timeline where Undertaker loses The Streak way earlier, maybe with Giant Gonzales or Diesel
-What if ¨The Plane Ride From Hell¨ crashed in the ocean and killed everyone aboard?
Those are my suggestions, hope you come back soon, good luck.

Have you listened to the Burgundian Lullaby? It sounds nice...in a macabre way.
It seems morbid, but I've thought of trying to rebook WWE after the Plane Ride from Hell takes the lives of everyone... All that's stopping me is not knowing everyone who was on it
(does a quick Google search)
The names I found include Curt Hennig, Brock Lesnar, Dave Finlay, Triple H, Paul Heyman, Michael P.S. Hayes, Ric Flair, Goldust, Terri Runnels, Jim Ross, Bradshaw, X-Pac, Scott Hall, and Vince McMahon.
If that plane had crashed, I think it would’ve killed the company.
I started a TL about this awhile ago. Shane McMahon would have reconstituted WWE with Jerry Jarret and Pat Patterson in senior positions. The first new show would have been a Memorial with the likes of Jeff Jarrett, AJ Styles etc wrestling the likes of the Rock with no politics or rivalry.
Like the idea but hate to do a timeline over something that dark. Also, Jeff Jarrett and AJ Style in WWE and no TNA would be a cool timeline, to be honest.
Was thinking about my storyline idea above: had the following ideas
Omega: would spend most of the year feuding with Jay White, gets into the Double Gold dash for NJPW. Omega, Ryu Lee, Chase Owens, KES, TJP, Juice, Finlay, R3K, Goto, LA Dojo, El Phantasmo, GoD, Chuck, Trent, Page, Marty, and Henare form the core of NJPW-USA, which does a weekly show on the West Coast. New Japan creates a US Tag title in 2020 during the lockdown. It gets good reviews, but never really becomes big- NJPW USA stays about the size of ROH, and lots of talent exchanges happen.
Moxley: signs an ROH/NJPW dual contract , becomes their champion and enters G1 and also gets IWGP US belt , defeating Jay White. Juice and Finlay shunt down to tag ranks.
Trent is the mole, joins Jay in Bullet Club.
Bucks never get to go heavyweight, eventually stop working NJPW. Eventually sign with Impact.
Hangman Page does a program with Tanahashi, Ibushi, and Yoshi-Hashi.
A lot of AEW's young talent doesn't get noticed- Ricky Starks being the notable exception. Ricky gets picked up by WWE
Cody ends up feuding with Nick Aldis over the NWA Championship. Drops it to Jay White at WK.

We need to pull all of this discussion into another post or a pm so we don't derail the topic. Get yourself some rest @Megafighter3, you deserve it.
Not to mention we don't want to attract any more attention from a certain animal from a certain state armed with a certain weapon who can and will send you to a certain city.
Just for the record here's the TL I started. Yes its dark but if anyone wants to carry on then by all means do so.
The Day Wrestling Died
POD. The WWE Plane Ride from Hell crashes into the Atlantic Ocean killing everyone on board. When bodies are recovered and given post mortems alcohol and drugs are found in their systems. The analysis of the plane finds that one of the doors had been smashed from the inside. What would the...
