There's also the option that he decides to go back to the WWF around 1996 or so so he can wrestle Austin and Vader again (as well as matches against Owen, Bulldog, or even Shawn Michaels).

I don't see that happening, for a couple of reasons:

1. Vince McMahon was clearly never really a Steamboat fan - at least not to the same degree.

2. Vince Russo definitely wouldn't have been.

Yeah, Steamboat in the WWF in 1996 wouldn't have ended happily. His retirement basically coincided with the end of his style of wrestling. He may have been able to extend things in 1995, but honestly, he would have been better in the indies post 1994, similar to how the Rock 'n' Roll Express were better whenever they popped up in the indies than in the big two. If Smokey Mountain had continued that may have been an option. Heyman would have surely brought him into ECW. They basically used everyone in the Monday Night Wars, so there's a chance he would have featured alongside Luger & Co. as the defender of WCW, but we all know how that was booked. If he made it to the Invasion, he probably would have fared better in 2000s WWE than mid-90s WWF.

Steamboat on late 90s WCW syndicated shows being put in random matches with Finlay and Kaz Hayashi and Villano IV would have ruled.

You know, I was actually thinking Steamboat in ECW could have been a possibility but yeah SMW seems more likely in terms of finding some success. I definitely like the idea of him working WWF with Vader & Owen. It probably would have been short lived. And him working Saturday Night and Thunder here and there with those guys would have ruled. It makes me think of the Larry Z vs Regal stuff in '94. He comes out of semi-retirement to teach some guy a lesson for a summer program 🙂

It would be a definite styles clash, but I'd like to see what Steamboat could have done with Raven (either in ECW or WCW).

I think Raven would have been smart enough to put something together that would have been pretty great.

So recently one of the holy grails of wrestling media has surfaced, a full episode of WWF Radio:

Richard’s channel actually got flagged for copyright violations a few days ago and they shut his channel down. 
however, he announced on fb tonight that he successfully appealed the suspension and he got his channel back.

im happy it’s back and surprised as hell he won his appeal. I doubt that happens often.

I think Landy's channel was actually flagged as being a scam for some reason, so maybe it was an AI screw up and YT actually made right

[khawk20]

I believe you are correct. 
 

I do wonder now that it caught attention if it will be flagged for copyright now?
