We would have gotten 2 years of Hogan vs Dungeon of Doom

[darknightbegins]

They made way more money in WCW and worked way fewer days. Only in Vince and his lackeys mind would one think it could be a “big mistake”’

[lalomontoyajr.]

I only see 2 things that would of happened. Both companies would of been out of business by 99 or both companies would still be around today.

[FAITHandLOGIC]

Hall and Nash joining WCW changed everything and for the better.

[jamesbyersmusic]

Can we lay to rest this myth that there is only guaranteed money because of Scott Hall and Kevin Nash!?
When Crockett/Mid-Atlantic was bought out by Ted Turner, EVERYONE who worked there was on a guaranteed contract, and that was in 1988!
Without Hall and Nash leaving, there would have been no heel turn for Hogan, which means no nWo, so therefore no DX.
There would have been no 'Curtain Call' so Helmsley wouldn't have gotten punished, which means that Austin wouldn't have won the King Of The Ring and therefore wouldn't have said his 'Austin 3 16' line, and, most likely, wouldn't have become the mega star that he became.
Which means, that without Hall & Nash leaving, there also wouldn't have been an 'Attitude Era' so we wouldn't have got the Wrestling 'Boom' that we did in the late 90's!

Kevin and Scott are just plain legends

If anyone is watching Wrestling Bios Reliving the War series, you can see from week to week, just how terrible both the WWF and WCW were in 1995 and 1996. It needed a shake up which happened with the move of Hall and Nash to WCW. You can almost instantly see the huge change and improvement in WCW Nitro after this while WWF stays very stale. WWF doesn’t really respond until 1997 and even then it struggles up until late 98/early 99 when the wheels start falling off in WCW.

So I think without the move of Hall and Nash, we could have had two very poor wrestling products for a long time.

Had "THEY" not left for WCW; Diesel would have depleted all his title shots. Therefore at Survivor Series 1996; WWF Champion HBK vs Razor Ramon in their third finale ladder match.

Diesel shows up to "cost" HBK the title therefore making Razor Ramon the new WWF Champion.

Diesel and Razor Ramon join forces to become
THE BIG & THE BAD

[TheKevinNewsom]

I don't see any other way it could have happened. The WWF was so stale by 96, something had to break.

[blackbartthepoet]

There is nothing like wrestling nostalgia. You just had to be there

[Dakatari]

Nash and Hall were their own worst enemy

[joshuasteward]

Shawn v Bret was still the WM main event in 1996. I don't think the main event scene changes much. Vince did not see Razor as a main eventer. Diesel still main eventing wouldn't stop Rock and Steve from rising.

[HelosWorldRailroadReseller]

What if Eric doesn’t fire Steve Austin and him and Randy Savage has a feud?? Lots of what ifs.

[blazedyasa]

I love this channel and im now a casual wrestling fan.

[QuentinDude]

I always wondered what would of happened if they stayed. I'm sure Razor was destined to hold the world title sometime in 96 or early 97 if he had stayed. Probably would of held it instead of Sid. Diesel could of feuded with Vader. Razor and Diesel could of turned heel and feuded with Austin, hatch and Rock in 98/99

[GeoGuy]

I've always wondered what it might have been like if Razor would have had a program with Steve Austin. Seems like kind of a natural fit. They could have had some great matches. Would have been way better than their Mania 18 match - by then Austin's health issues and Hall's demons prevented them from coming even close to their potential.

[jakelang]

Then the rock may never had gotten a chance since Shawn and paul tried to keep him down.

[ssnadera]

Nash had nothing left to do, he had already faced sid, hbk, bret, taker all the guys who ran 96 and some of 97, my guess is he would had been given the kane gimmick if he had stayed and glen jacobs would had been released.

[fuji]

Those two stay ECW would grow and become a legitimate player.

[NameLess-ksfi]

Steve Austin and The Rock wouldn’t have happened.
