If you change one thing in wresling history...

[Johnny Vegas]

What would it be? Would you have fired HHH? Put the title on RVD in 2001 in the WWE? Never sold WCW?

:?:

[addy2hotty]

Never split the brands

[Disturbed316]

Owen's death.

[Bad Company]

WCW Invasion

[Fox]

Stephanie McMahon found Paul Levesque (aka Triple H) quite unattractive.

[Y3J]

Made Booker T champion in 2002.

[Xero]

I would have done the Screwjob backwards. Bret screwing Shawn in Texas.

[The Show Off]

Aside from the obvious answer of saving someone's life here are a few things I would have done...

--Have Tully Blanchard turn on Ric Flair and win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship
--Have Mr. Perfect win the 1991 Royal Rumble and take the Championship at Wrestlemania VII
--Have Raven never leave ECW
--Have Chris Jericho beat Triple H, Hell in a Cell, Judgment Day 2002
--Have Chris Jericho beat Shawn Michaels, Wrestlemania XIX
--Have Christopher Daniels beat AJ Styles at Against All Odds rather then at Destination X
--Have Raven lose the NWA World Championship at an actual TNA Pay Per View
--Have Chris Jericho beat John Cena, Summerslam 2005
--Have Eddie Guerrero beat Batista, No Mercy 2005, so Eddie Could have died a World Champion
--Have Edge beat John Cena, Royal Rumble 2006

He said one thing. ;)

[Xero]

I would have had Paul Heyman get a respectable rich partner to fund him in the latter years of ECW.

[PullMyFinger]

Make sure WCW doesn't die.

[LK]

Have Paul Heyman acknowledge that he can't run ECW by himself and needs real help, not just from the wrestlers.

[Skippord]

I would've had RVD win the Royal Rumble and then at WM22 have him beat Cena and throw the WWE spinner title in the trash and light a joint and throw it in and burn it and start using the ECW title for the WWE title

[Fryza]

Just wouldn't have wrestler's have so much backstage pull. That alone ends quite a lot of shit.

As for wrestler's dying. There's a point when even thinking about playing God goes too far. Not my place to make or take those calls.

[Johnny Vegas]

That is kinda what i thought. Sure we would want to bring people back to life as a humane act, but i honestly couldn't pick just one.

[Pinnacle Charisma]

Not treat Jericho like a tool after the won the undisputed title

[redoneja]

I wouldn't have necessarily changed the Screwjob, but I would have prevented Hart from getting his career ending concussion.

[Avenger]

WCW

[Xero]

I wouldn't have necessarily changed the Screwjob, but I would have prevented Hart from getting his career ending concussion.
Well, it was bound to happen someday anyway, as his concussions were built up, and that was the blow to end it all, if you will. He would have had to retire for the same reason (barring other injuries, etc), whether in one big hit or over a few more anyway.

[The Show Off]

He said one thing. ;)

Okay fair is fair, I'll pick just one...

--Have Chris Jericho beat Triple H, Hell in a Cell, Judgment Day 2002

Basically because Jericho beating Triple H in that Hell in a Cell would have finally gotten him over to the point where the WWE really couldn't bury him. Plus he deserved it after how they mishandled the whole Wrestlemania XVIII story ling with Jericho and Triple H. The reason I wouldn't change the lead up to Wrestlemania XVIII is becuase even though the story line sucked, it succeeded in giving Jericho the Undisputed Championship, finally breaking up Triple H and Stephnie (storyline wise), and Triple H deserved to win the title at that Wrestlemania. If Jericho just won that Hell in a Cell he would have become a legit Main Event player. Which would have led to him probably beating Shawn at Wrestlemania XIX, and another Championship run.

[mrslackalack]

Storyline wise throughout the years that WCW was as good as they were is 96 and WWF in 98 and ECW in 97.

[Skippord]

I'd also have pushed Benoit and such higher in WCW

[FourFifty]

I would have ended the nWo YEARS sooner. They were good, but they weren't meant to be a huge multi-factioned long lasting group. First and foremost, splitting the nWo into the nWo, The Wolf Pack, the lWo, and nWo Japan was just stupid. I also wouldn't of had Hogan become the leader of the nWo, no Scott Hall handing over the title bullshit. Put WCW on the right track!

Now I was never a big fan of WCW. So here I am, wanting to change history to make WCW last longer? Why?
Because I believe the WWF was at its best during the Monday Night Wars. If coke was the only soft drink on the market the coke compnay would be able to totally fuck up coke and people would still drink it because there isn't any other big name cola on the market to keep it in check, to make sure they live up to their standards.

[Innovator]

Have Bill Gates financially back ECW

[Dorkchop]

* Christian having a long lasting feud with Cena resulting in Captain Charisma winning the title and holding it for a while. Everyone wanted that.

Either that or Mr. Perfect winning the Royal Rumble when he returned.

[Blitz]

Have Bill Gates financially back <s>ECW</s> ROH

[Skippord]

Have Chris Sabin beat Jeff Jarrett on Impact that one time

[Nowhere Man]

Planted Chris Benoit's workrate and professionalism into Hulk Hogan's body.

[Pinnacle Charisma]

Actually I want to change my answer. Not many people know this but when Vince McMahon was a child he was attacked by a Canadian midget. This has affected resulting in him punishing anyone under six foot and/or Canadian for the rest of this life. So I would go back to that day and stop that midget attacking young Vincent.

[Shadow]

The treatment of Jeff Hardy by the WWE.

[Xero]

The treatment of Jeff Hardy by the WWE.
Firing him because he was/is a pot head and showed up late at a shit load of shows?

[yknits god]

wcw and ecw would still be here.

[Shadow]

Firing him because he was/is a pot head and showed up late at a shit load of shows?

If you don't understand by now...you never will.

[Joey Slugs]

Have Andre beat Hogan @ WM3

[loopydate]

I would have given David Arquette creative control so that when he said "No, Vince, I don't want to be the World Champion. This is a terrible idea," Russo would have been forced to listen to him.

[McLegend]

Arquette didn't really want to win the title?

[loopydate]

During a production meeting prior to Nitro, commentator Tony Schiavone joked that with all this publicity he was receiving, perhaps they should even make Arquette champion. Everyone laughed. How funny would that be - a 150-pound weakling actor as champion. Har har!

But one man at the table wasn't laughing: Vince Russo. In fact, he thought that it was a great idea. He was alone in this thinking. Even Arquette, himself a lifelong wrestling fan, knew people would hate the idea, and tried to talk him out of it. Russo would have none of it, convinced that this was just the thing WCW needed.

[McLegend]

Never knew that.

[loopydate]

I didn't either until I read that book.

Just another reason to hate Tony Schiavone, I guess. :)

[Cool King]

Have The British Bulldog win the 1995 Royal Rumble instead of Shawn Michaels.

[Savio]

Aside from the obvious answer of saving someone's life...
Stopped the London terrorist attacks so hassan keeps his job

[dablackguy]

Surprised no one said some of these....

non wrestling death related changes

No debilitating neck injury for Steve Austin
Same for Kurt Angle
Keeping the Rock around instead of having him make movies

Killing the following people (Wrestling related changes)
J.J. Dillon
whomever ok'd the NWO coming back 3 times, and the person who decided it should be half the WCW roster
David Arquette

getting ECW a real time slot
getting ECW soeone to back it with money

[Just John]

Saved owen, easily.

[Chavo Classic]

It's got to be the whole WCW still alive thing for me too

[Johnny Vegas]

WCW or ECW?

[Corndad]

Have Andre beat Hogan @ WM3

What would the point of that be, not saying it would be dumb, just curious how you look at that.

For my one I would say David Arquette winning the World Title, that is what drove the nail in the coffin for WCW. That way WWE still atleast had some competition (Sorry TNA fans, not to that level just yet) and would be trying alot harder with some of these lame storylines.

[starfox8500]

I would've had RVD win the Royal Rumble and then at WM22 have him beat Cena and throw the WWE spinner title in the trash and light a joint and throw it in and burn it and start using the ECW title for the WWE title

:shifty: didn't that kinda happen in Smackdown vs. Raw 2006's smackdown storyline?

[weather vane]

WCW and ECW

[Vastardikai]

I'm gonna go with something obscure:

Keep Bam Bam Bigelow from EVER doing a Cartwheel inside of a wrestling ring.

[Evolution]

Make WWF/E nWo work. Keep Hall, and let the group evolve from there.

[John la Rock]

John Cena vs Christian - WWE Title Summerslam 2005

Christian would still be in the WWE and would be a credible World Champ

[Skippord]

Bitchslapped Hogan into letting Sting win right at Starrcade

[tucsonspeed6]

I honestly believe that Bischoff had internally sabotaged WCW from inside to take the company for himself. It's something that happens in the business world all the time, but rarely seen in the entertainment business. If I could change anything, I'd love to see him be successful with that, just for curiosity's sake.

[BlackDawn2024]

Tony: Maybe you should make David Arquette world champion. It'd be the greatest night in the history of our sport!

But seriously, I'd probably go with keeping WCW alive.
