Vince Russo came up with Mae Young and the hand.
Jimmy Snuka won the match where he splashed Muraco from the top of the cage. Think someone Mandelad him as holding the I-C title too.
A darker one, but they kept Owen Hart's blood on the mat throughout Over the Edge. No, it came from a Brood bloodbath.

WWF Magazine hinting at Disco Inferno coming in to be managed by Honky Tonk Man in 1997 instead of Billy Gunn is one. That actually didn't happen until a few months into the Rockabilly/HTM partnership. According to HTM, the guy that was actually considered for the role before Gunn was Savio Vega.

The Flair/Kerry match from Christmas 1982. History remembers it as this diabolical Hayes/Gordy heel turn, with the cage slamming on Kerry and Flair covering to get a cheap win. In reality the match went on...and on for several minutes after that until the ref just called for the bell saying Von Erich couldn't continue.

One of my earliest wrestling memories from Stampede Wrestling TV was seeing "Honky Tonk" Wayne Ferris and Leo Burke attack a visiting wrestler and try to cripple him (One had him in a Boston Crab and the other was doing knee drops from the second rope in the corner), and the guy was saved by bodybuilder Tom Magee himself. For years I thought it was Lawler... but it may have been Bockwinkel.

I’ve seen people swear that Savage/Steamboat at Mania 3 was anywhere from 30-45 minutes.

The summer of Punk was WWE's hottest big summer storyline in years. In reality 2010 (Nexus/Cena) and 2012 (Lesnar/HHH) had higher ratings and buyrates.
The Hurricane beat The Rock clean then lost to Triple H the next week. Neither happened. Hurricane won via Austin help and the following week Rock destroyed Hurricane.
Shawn Michaels and John Cena had an ironman match. It was just a regular match that happened to go an hour.

Shawn Michaels superkicking Jannetty through the window has to be the top one.
DX having a tank.
Angle supposedly not being over as a face in 2001.
Rick Martel IC champion.

And that one mixes into another one - Snuka leaping from the top onto Backlund. Backlund moved and he missed. The two events get jammed together a lot in people's memories. |

That was a rumor of something the might possibly happen, not something people misremember as actually happening (aka the Mandela Effect). There are people who still swear they saw green-clad Kane in DX. |

Of course Angle was over as a face, it’s just that they screwed the pooch by having him turn heel a month after WINNING THE BELT IN HIS HOMETOWN TWO WEEKS AFTER 9/11 |

I spent years being certain that Maven had never been eliminated from the 2002 Rumble.

people always say Rico beat Ric Flair clean as a sheet
it's closer to Flair being distracted by kicking out a chair Rico bought into the ring and plus Flair was touching the rope when the pin was counted
Big victory for Rico but not entirely clean

I spent years being certain that Maven had never been eliminated from the 2002 Rumble. Technically, he wasn't. Maven was eliminated by Undertaker after Taker was already eliminated, so it shouldn't have counted. |
