What If WWE Had Gone Out Of Business?

4. The Undertaker As WCW Champion

The Undertaker may have become WCW World Champion.

WCW was notorious for taking top stars built by WWE, adjusting them to their needs and booking landscape, and putting them on top. The process worked reasonably well with talents including Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Outsiders, with relatively few real failures like the company’s usage of Bret Hart.

The Undertaker stands alongside Shawn Michaels as the biggest stars WWE had to offer in that era who never crossed enemy lines to work for WCW. While Michaels thought his career was over due to back issues, The Undertaker was still at around his prime and clearly had a lot of wrestling left in his tank (given he’s still working part-time seventeen years later). Had he made his way to WCW, there’s little question he would have been on top, and it might have been interesting to see how he—particularly in his Biker persona—night have done in the company at the time. Lkely as not, he’d have won at least one world title.
