What if Fake Diesel & Razor didn’t flop and were a major act all the way til Hall & Nash came back. Then who would’ve been Kane?

What if Jeff Jarrett hadn't been banned by Vince McMahon: No TNA - no AEW

Nah forget that. What if Mike Knox wasn't Mike Knox but Braun Strowman played him. Unbelievably different Universe right now.

This topic is so open, it's not even funny. :lol I mean there are an endless amount of especially "little" moments which could've led to such a different situation we would've right now.

What if Magnum TA didn't lose control of his Porsche? What if Brian Pillman didn't fall asleep while driving his Hummer? What if Warrior in WCW would've worked? What if WWE dropped Miz right after his first appearances on the main roster? What if Ron Simmons doesn't join WWE in 1996 and becomes Faarooq? Heck... what if WWE doesn't hold One Night Stand, which led to the ECW revival, what led to Punk getting his break in the WWE Main Roster?

Mine is Mick Foley getting his first break (as admitted by him) due to being hyped in the Observer....bc there were no pictures lol
Great shout. Foley was so important for a lot of big careers. Without him, the landscape would look extremely different.

it did spiral haha. Was meant to be what actually happened and the massive ramifications of that action. (Cody Leaves-Japan-Bullet Club-Meltzer Bet-AEW). Funny seeing some of the ideas and responses though.

What if Vince McMahon never met Dick Ebersole? Would WWF get on MTV and most importantly on NBC?

Sure. I think that started with Danielson not getting the push initially, that the fans wanted to see him getting though. Then came the years in which the NXT (and former Indy guys) weren't treated in the main roster how fans would've liked them to be treated plus the overall downward spiral WWE creative were going, while Cody and Jericho making a splash in New Japan in 16-17.

What if Vince McMahon’s parents never met and Vince was never born? Would WWE have ever gotten this big? What the fuck would we all be doing right now?

I know it's not small and it's still super recent but given all the changes he's made already, ever wonder what the fuck would be happening on Raw & SmackDown right now if Vince never stepped down

Cena probably doesn’t become the face of WWE. I’m sure he probably gets a few WWE Championships runs, but he wouldn’t be a 16 time world champion.

Definitely not 16.

But he was definitely on the rise. I’m thinking maybe Batista doesn’t become as big of a deal as he did
