If you could go back in time and change the events in one match, what would you change?
 

People can post or I will... what the effect or backlash it had in the timeline. Grn Rep for everyone who participates.

First thought is Austin/Rock from Mania X7.

I would probably change the Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior eningm, because I jut despise Warrior and him going over clean was stupid.

Owen Hart /godfather at over the edge
Montreal screwjob

Totally thought I was quoting this when I posted, instead of editing lol. Gotta get used to these new settings


Anyways, we wouldn't have gotten the greatness that was heel Austin

That means no evil Vince

I would change Wrestlemania 5 and have Savage go over Hogan. Savage was white hot as a heel.

Rock would still be WWF Champion or Vince and Austin wouldn't align themselves or both?

Ha, no worries. Austin was great as a heel, performance-wise, but business went on its ass. Didn’t feel right to me at the time. It’s better in retrospect when you just accept everything is dead.

Austin doesn’t align with Vince.

This surprises me for some reason.

Yeah Austin's said himself that if it were up to him, he'd have done X7 exactly as it was right up until the handshake, at which point Austin then would've Stunned Vince to a huge ovation and the story would've been that he'd played Vince.

Amazing that for as good as heel Austin was, he's his own worst critic about that run because he regrets it ever happening.

Didnt hogan win all the times before that?

Austin has said that, but he wanted to turn heel for the longest time. Some of the top guys in wrestling just don’t want to live long enough to die as a hero.

Rock would still be WWF Champion and lose it to Austin the next night or The Mummy Returns/The Scorpion King would have been less successful without the help of The Rock and WWF Fans.

I honestly don't know, but I think this was the first time they fought. I don't mean the match when he was in nWo but the earlier one. But Warrior just struck me as a roided up lunatic, so yeah. Fuck him.

I think he wanted to turn heel but sensed in the moment that it wasn't the right time to do it after all, and he regrets not calling an audible.

Given that it was the moment a whole lot of teenagers decided "Austin's teaming with Vince? Eh, guess I've outgrown this" - I can see why it's a moment he wishes he could take back.

My first thoughts when I saw the thread title was Booker T and Triple H, and Sting and Triple H.

Austin/Owen - I'd remove the Piledriver and save Austin's neck and give him another few years in the ring.

If we are allowed to change anything I would probably save Owen from his entrance.

I'd change Sting vs Hogan at Starrcade 97 to a cage match and have Sting go over without the shenanigans.

I agree with Simple Fan!

Hogan would still be the Godfather of wrestling. And Warrior would job till he's like Zack Ryder and everyone would feel sorry for him and give him the title eventually out of pity.

Owen Hart Lives and him and his brother are still hero's of WWF!

God damn it, I almost edited your post again instead of quoting it lol.

Savage was at his peak as a draw when they took the belt off him. I don't think we ever fully saw what Randy could have done as champ.

The first and only time Hogan beat Warrior was at Havoc 98

There would be no backlash cause Hogan and Brutus win the next time.

I wouldn't put that on Austin. Business was trending down prior to the turn. You could argue his heel work in 2001 was his best character work. I much prefer 2001 Austin over 98-2000 Stone Cold.

In case anybody forgot, Gertner is a mod now.

Superstar Graham not losing the title to Backlund and having a face run as champ.

Add a win over The Game Triple H to the 5 time 5 time 5 time 5 time 5 time World Heavyweight champion and the Stinger! Woooooooooo!

I would rather watch old Bob Backlund beat Bret Hart 50 times than see one Superstar Billy Graham title match.
Man alive did he stink.

:y:

I'd say big man Hogan can stand to take the loss. :y:

A fully mobile Austin would have had so much more to give. You could feasibly have seen another decade.

Ric Flair's longevity was based on the believable wins and losses, I think Hogan should have taken a lot more losses. People would love him more.

Tatanka vs Ludvig Borga /thread

Right I think he'd be about where undertaker is. everyone respected Taker for taking his losses how he didnt need to win every time.

He had shockingly good matches as champ

You have seen so much though.

The best thing you introduced me to was Mid South. At least the matches are almost uniformly solid affairs.
I just can't get behind your Dick Murdoch love or this Billy Graham stuff.

Dick Murdoch had the worst legs in the business besides Jay Strongbow.

Admit it.
