You know what happened in real life… so let’s take a look at another reality…

 

What happened if…

 

October 1988…

On the verge of bankruptcy… Jim Crockett Promotions made a deal with multiple benefactors that led to Crockett not only leaving the NWA but also leaving Turner Broadcasting and moving out on its own.

 

Crockett and Head Booker Dust Rhodes are unable to sign major talents Sting, Hawk & Animal the Road Warriors, Jim Cornette, & The Midnight Express. Additionally, Tully Blanchard left the company after a pay dispute from the 1987 Starrcade. In their exit… Rhodes and Crockett made a couple of monumental signings… which helped secure even more funds…

First off was former WWF Champion, Randy Macho Man Savage. Savage has been hindered with an injured elbow but hopes to return to action soon. Also from the WWF… The One Man Gang signed with the tag team of Demolition. Demolition was picking up major momentum as the WWF tag team champions but with the influx of tag teams and the debut of the Road Warriors, the writing was on the wall for Demolition and they took their talents elsewhere. Another big tag team of Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart made the swap after their contracts expired and they wanted a different work schedule. Jimmy Hart negotiated for stars Honkytonk Man, Dino Bravo, and Greg Valentine to come to JCP after Jimmy got a special deal to make all the music for the company. The final piece of the puzzle was Andre the Giant! Andre, at the tail end of his career, has still wanted to be involved in the ring. His size is getting the best of him and the JCP schedule may prove to be a benefit. Bobby Heenan signed an exclusive deal with Crockett but no word on if he will be in the booth or as a manager.

From the AWA… Curt Hennig signed with JCP after flirting with a run in the WWF. Along with Hennig, the Rockers, Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels made the move to help heighten the tag team division. 

129806778_SidVicious0.jpg.dbb4696540d472d0cb8216f39a49018a.jpg595864187_GreatMuta10.jpg.90a57b6859fa00deba21bdd26de687c9.jpg

Some newcomers to JCP… youngsters Sid Vicious and the Great Muta are looking to make a splash in the coming months heading into 1989. These new names join a veteran group of talent. Another youngster made his debut late in the Summer… Scott Steiner joined his brother Rick after  the Varsity Club attacked him. Scott has done some work in the midwest but now called JCP his home and with his brother Rick, the Steiner Brothers appear to be a force in JCP!

Returning to JCP… Big Bubba who now goes by the Big Bossman. He has been serving hard time throughout the summer and now comes with a vengeance. Many think he has got Dusty Rhodes back in his sights. Butch Reed has also returned to JCP and he has been teaming with Ron Simmons as of late. They have had a mysterious Woman with them at ringside… these two monsters spell doom for anyone in their path.

772688214_SteveWilliams0.jpg.46d033ceadfdca799b9935008c112505.jpg544228161_MikeRotundo2.jpg.f2ac9c00357f03abbe2cbc64f755bb0a.jpg1010145284_TerryGordy1.jpg.4880a611e3cf41b7070a811e3149a8bf.jpg808025593_MichaelHayes1.jpg.2f437cb37fcfd271e17d6de25eec9893.jpg

Staying with JCP… tag teams including The Varsity Club, Steve Williams and Mike Rotundo signed with JCP and appear to be the top team in the promotion. Former United States Champion Lex Luger signed and may have claimed him to be the next and perhaps FIRST world champion in JCP. As noted earlier, Rick Steiner has signed on to stay with his brother Scott. Freebirds, Michael Hayes and Terry Gordy have resigned. Head Booker Dusty Rhodes continues to figure himself into the wrestling plans. Lastly, the crown jewel perhaps, Ric Flair. Flair resigned with JCP after turning down lucrative deals from the WWF, NWA, & newly founded WCW. Flair was able to help JCP secure television throughout the country and even get PPV markets. Flair will be joined by his Horsemen counterparts Arn Anderson and Barry windham. No word on who the 4th Horseman will be if they continue down that path.

Out come the Horsemen. They cross glances with Curt Hennig as Ric Flair lets him know he isn’t going to take it light on him in the tournament. Arn and Barry cut quick promos about the possibility of facing one another and they both know that the stakes are high enough that the bond of the Horsemen will keep them together no matter what the outcome as long as the title ends up with one of the three of them. Ric Flair then goes on a tirade about how Jim Crockett and Dusty Rhodes have planned this whole thing to try and break up the Horsemen. They have planned this whole thing to keep the title out of Flair’s hands. Flair says that with Bobby Heenan… the Horsemen will be stronger than ever before and unbeatable inside and outside the ring. Heenan then gets on the mic to make the huge announcement… that the newest member of the Four Horsemen is….Andre the Giant! Andre the Giant is here and the crowd is going wild! The fans can’t believe the size of Andre as he towers over the rest of the Horsemen. Ross says it is a pleasure to see him. Andre then tries to talk before Heenan says that this is a new Andre… one that is more powerful than ever… one that is stronger than ever… one who will destroy anyone I say! Flair says that Andre is going to help him get the world title and take out everyone in his path! Andre then grabs the microphone… 

 

Andre: I am no Horsemen! I am my own man. I am tired of you controlling me. I am my own man! I will do what I want!

Horsemen.thumb.jpg.05bf074cef90ef05dc987263664f5075.jpg

The crowd pops huge as Andre walks away! Heenan grabs his arm but Andre pushes him back into the Horsemen. This couldn’t have gone worse for Heenan and the Horsemen. The crowd is chanting for Andre! What could this mean for the Giant in JCP?

 

*COMMERCIAL*

Hayes and Ross are back putting over the big announcement of the title tournaments. They put over the huge event of Andre the Giant pushing Bobby Heenan away and ot joining the Horsemen. Hayes says that he wanted to fight the Harts tonight but they’ll do it next week with the tag title tournament on the line.

I don't know how I missed this episode. What a solid start happening in JCP. Great stories being told already. I love Andre turning down The Horsemen and next week is stacked! Twin Towers/Demolition plus Flair/Hennig! What an event that will be very excited about where this goes.

Also I am digging the pictures with the figures. I have only seen one other person do this but he only wrote like 2 shows. So I am interested in seeing where this goes. Solid work like always.

  • Scott Steiner is fresh on the scene
  • Rick Steiner is loaded for bear here
  • Dino and Valentine are a dream team if you will and they are actually pretty damn good together
  • This one only gets 10-minute and it serves a couple of purposes
  • The first is to showcase Dino and Valentine as a team
  • The second is to show that Scott Steiner has got the brightest future in JCP

  • Luger has won it and the crowd pops!
  • They can’t believe what they’ve seen! 

 

We finish the show with Luger popping out of the ring while Flair and Windham come out. In order to get to the title… He is going to have to take another step through the Horsemen next week when he faces Barry. Luger makes the signal for the belt… who will walk away from Chi-Town Rumble with the title!?!?
