In other words, scenarios where someone almost made a mistake that in retrospect turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I read that Francine once upon a time was called up by the WWF for a potentially brutal gimmick called 'Sister Love.' prowrestling.net/artman/publish/InterviewHighlights/article1004414.shtmlConsidering what THAT could have been in a time before WWF had to look in the mirror and make changes, and considering that Francine was a key cog in ECW..... |

Mick Foley having the balls to tell Vince that Mason the Mutilator was an awful idea To give Vince a little credit, the idea itself was sound. It was the name and costume Mick was unhappy with, which, thank god, because he'd have looked weird in the faux-chainmail. Heidenreich's had a rough go of things, but he did at least get a little bit of mileage from his WWE run. That'd have never happened if Vince hadn't walked out of the meeting where a writer tried to pitch the "unfrozen Nazi" gimmick in disgust and shock. He was a poor Road Warrior, but he at least got to be that much. He'd have gotten Hade Vansen'd as the Nazi. |

Jim Cornette convincing the then Tyler Black not to sign with TNA. Jim claims that he locked himself in an office with Black to force him into not signing with TNA and took his cellphone away so he couldn’t make the biggest mistake of his life. Cornette saved Rollins’ life. |

That gimmick sounds brutal but unfortunately Francine lost an opportunity to make more money than ever in her career instead of remaining in ecw and getting bounced checks. |

The Shield having Kassius Ohno instead of Roman Reigns.
Ambrose and Rollins would be nowhere near the big deal they are without Roman.

All three of those guys needed one another at the time. Without one, the other two are significantly less during a main roster call up. |

We were robbed of not getting an incest storyline with the McMahons. I also wish Goldust got a pair of tits.
...wrestling is weird f***ing business, man.

Deaf pro wrestler CM Punk Mighty Mouse Neville Shaved head repackaged Ric Flair Edge as Sexton Hardcastle Incest couple Paul Burchill and Katie Lea That storyline about murdering midgets that Mick Foley pitched Harlem heat as slaves. Gay hairdresser Kalisto 1. Was this newz or was it confirmed? 2. Dates back to Chris Candido in 1995 too. On that note, instead of the Bodydonnas, Chris and Tammy could have been Spirit Squad Mk. 1. 6. What now? I think this was since proven to be exaggeration, but Curt Hennig could have been the Red Rooster if you believe Terry Taylor. Too Cool could have been Billy and Chuck Mk. 1, likewise. The whole Russo-inflicted aftermath of the David/Stacy wedding. Russo being the father of her baby, then it being proven that Stacy was Ric Flair's daughter. Mr. Backlund being the result of a returning Papa Shango's curse. And I think Missy Hyatt was another name rumored for Sister Love. |

Bret jumping to WCW in 1992. He would have flown straight into the Bill Watts fiasco, where he was taking an axe to all big money contracts, removing all health coverage for injured workers and making lives hell.
Konnan remaining as Max Moon in the WWF. He did better in WCW and opened a lot of doors for luchadors there, while in the WWF he would have quickly become a talented jobber to the stars.
Jericho joining the NWO. They wanted him, but if he said yes, you know he'd be the guy who ate the pin for the top guys.
AJ Styles jumping to the WWE in the early 2000s. He would have gone through the developmental system and been shredded, if he made the roster at all he would have been given the same treatment as the likes of Jamie Noble, Paul London, Kendrick and others. TNA paid him well for his work, he got less wear and tear than he would on the indies or WWE and he got to ride out that era to become a talent that was in demand.
