History of wrestling rumours

Owen Hart was booked to win the IC title the night he died.

Eddie Guerrero was booked to win the World Title on Smackdown. I think there was a Batista-Orton-Guerrero triple threat scheduled for Smackdown.

Chris Benoit was booked to win the ECW Title in his scheduled match against CM Punk at the June 2007 PPV but died a day or two before it.

I think the Owen Hart title win was confirmed by people from WWE, not sure about Benoit and Guerrero.

The original plan for WrestleMania 9 was for Yokozuna to beat Bret Hart, but that would be the end of the show. However, Hogan told Vince he wanted the title or wouldn't show up.

The original plan for WrestleMania 10 was for Luger to walk out as champion but he was caught spoiling the ending at a bar that weekend so the booking was changed. I doubt this one was true. Bret Hart was way more over than Luger at this point.

Lex Luger vs. Ludvig Borga was at one time a plan for the WM 10 main event.

I remember this one: before Kenzo Suzuki debuted, the plan was for him to be immediately put into a World Title program with Benoit. After realizing that Suzuki sucked in the ring, he became a mid carder.

I also remember rumours of Scott Hall debuting at the 2001 Royal Rumble but it never happenned.
