So let us preface this entry by saying that this is simply a "what if" situation. Something that you will see here a lot.
With that being said, what if Ike never really beat Tina? Now a days we have all types of gimmicks and stories and fake relationships to sell albums, so what if they had a really good PR person back then and said this would make for a great story, win you over a bunch of new fans and make us all a lot of money. If this was the case and they were looking to pull off a huge publicity stunt, then it worked. We are all running around calling abusive husbands "Ike" and looking at him like he is the man that was beating Tina's ass. A few times we had to check ourselves from looking at Lawrence Fishburne sideways, because he played that role so well in the hit movie "Whats Love Got to do with it."
We sincerely send our condolences out to the family and to the legendary Tina Turner, but what if...
