If Vader Stayed With WCW

Vader I think left WCW not only because of the fight but I think politically he was shut down. Look at how jobbed out and weak he became once Hogan showed up. You had Hogan "Hulk Out" from the Vader Bomb and stuff like this. Vader had to join Hogan and turn face in the end and this to me showed a cleverness on Hogan's part to bring Vader to his side to avoid having him as a threat.

But here's the thing, it was the Monday Night Wars where the small advantage over the other guys was important. So bringing Leon should have been attractive to WCW, hey they brough Bam Bam Bigolow to be a monster for Goldberg, right. I'm not sure why they didn't go for him. Maybe they did. I count a few key moments where he could have come in and be an interesting factor:

- When Warrior came in to face Hogan. Eventualy that feud ended quickly and Warrior was fired. But imagine if it would have continued. The nWo needed that weapon to even things out against Warrior. And Vader would have been perfect it. We could have had a "Dream Match" between two monsters Warrior vs Vader after that.

- If it were me, after the Finger-Poke, Goldberg would have gone threw the whole nWo and then beat Hogan for the belt, making him the biggest star of that company. Following that in mid 99, you can throw various monsters at Goldberg that WCW would hire for short term. Then it spills out into the mega feud people wanted to see, Goldberg vs Sting. That is when I would have brought in Vader, making it a three-way feud. Vader was the ultimate opponant for Sting. But he's also the greatest monsters WCW ever had before Goldberg. It's a marriage made in heaven. Have Leon finish that feud with the WCW belt even when all the monsters that attacked Goldberg for months join him.

- During the nWo Wolfpac vs nWo Hollywood War, I would have put it up a notch and while the Wolfpac were the popular guys, the Hollywood guys felt like a bunch of old mismatch jobbers sometime. To make it more even, have the Wolfpac being a bunch of cocky charismatic tweeners with Hall, Nash, Syx(if he stayed), Buff, Steiner, Hart, Guererro, Jericho and at the opposite ends nWo Black and White would be devastators with Hogan and Giant. Lose Beefcake. Then bring Vader and the Road Warriors to be with Hogan's group along with maybe Ming joining them. I think it would have made the two groups far different and more interesting.

- Then another option and I briefly touch upon it would be to have Vader come in instead of Bam Bam after Goldberg won the belt. It was a time where WCW lost some steam because the nWo was not there, but having someone more impressive than Bam Bamn in Vader instead it would have made Nitro more watchable.
