If that hadn't happened Crystal Maze could have gone to anybody else for hosting really, though I don't really know who was in the running for it besides O'Brien.I may be looking back on this with Maze tinted glasses as I've no idea how big a phenomenon Rocky Horror was when it was released but I'd argue that it was Crystal Maze which made him more of a household name and as such helped ensure the legacy of Rocky Horror too.
