I think RTC could work today. Before two of the members were fired due to serious allegations made against them during SpeakingOut, IMPACT had a stable called 'Cancel Culture' which was doing a modern Right To Censor style gimmick. They would go after wrestlers in IMPACT who they considered "problematic". But alas Joey Ryan and Dave Crist were fired. Leaving Rob Van Dam and his manager/wife Katie Forbes alone in the company.

By the way, I agree Wrestlemania X7 is the best Mania, but they actually did invite Legends in the Gimmick Battle Royal lol. But I get what you mean that the WWF didn't have to do that because they were loaded with current star power. The gimmick battle royal was just an extra treat. So glad that we got to hear Bobby the Brain Heenan on commentary in the WWF once more.

I was at X7 and it was amazing! Bell to Bell what a show! Jericho vs Regal to start the PPV, The TLC match! HHH vs Taker I, Austin Rock II!!! The Legends battle royal was fun too and also I saw Kientai earlier in the day at the fan axxess arena (it was a ring in the middle of the convention center) and there was a bunch of shit to do! They had a legit ramp area for making your own entrance's that you could get on tape or DVD. Then there was autograph areas and I went on show day which all the legends were there for due to the battle royal but a bunch of WCW guys were around too some just walking around others had tables. This was the first Axxess I think but could be wrong. XV had that nightclub rave thing and 16 had something too but not to this degree. So I saw Kientai wrestle Saturn and Malenko and that was neat. They only had a couple matches but no footage and thats kinda a bummer. I wish they filmed it all like they did 19. X7 was one hell of a show.
