I am going to go ahead and count that sometimes people present Triple H's main event push as only happening once he'd been romantically involved with Stephanie, which is untrue. He did get pushed after that more, yes, but he'd already won the world title by then and had been a major player for a good portion of 1999 before that. Additionally, they began dating because of the angle, the angle did not come into being because they were dating, which is also an important distinction.

Yeah, I remember an interview with HHH saying Stephanie had a boyfriend in December 1999 when they were paired together.

The Giant doing a moonsault. People swear they saw him do it on Nitro once. He supposedly did do it in the Power Plant and was told not to do it on TV, and he never did despite claims to the contrary.

Not just that, HHH being promised a title run was THE dirtsheet rumor back in the day. Looking back, the IWC couldn't conceptualize an actual heel with the title

The Golden Girls did have a boxing episode though, it was the one where Sophia invested the girls money in a prize fighter whom wanted to quit boxing and become a concert violinist.

Regarding the Mandela Effect in general.... before YouTube was a place that likeminded idiots could compare their idiot notes, what is now known as "The Mandela Effect" was previously called "having a terrible memory." "I DON'T HAVD A BAD MEMORY! THEY CHANGED HISTORY ON ME!!!"

Not an exact example but re:Maven I always thought he eliminated Undertaker, got a nice pop, and then continued the match normally. I thought the beatdown Taker gave him was on RAW the following night, not immediately after.
Which looking back ... why not let him have that moment?

I always thought Tugboat turned heel on Hogan, then years later saw his turn came against the Bushwhackers.

He also attacked Hogan during the 1991 Royal Rumble, which led to Hogan being able to fight him off and throw him out.

The weirdest thing about Hulkamania was that it seems like, sometimes, the very idea of someone wanting a shot at Hogan’s belt made them a heel, I guess all the other baby faces were just supposed to cheer him on and not want the glory?

Not exactly the Mandela effect, but more a case of bad memory/being young. I swear I watched a wrestling show back in the day where the Ultimate Warrior wrestled. I was a humongous Warrior fan as a kid, & was desperate to see him kick this guys ass. And I waited & waited... & the comeback never happened. Warrior was squashed, & I was inconsolable.
It was a long time later that I discovered this was actually the Renegade.

"I DON'T HAVD A BAD MEMORY! THEY CHANGED HISTORY ON ME!!!" not related to the thread at all, but this is something my dad would have said. if he was singing along to a song and *he* got the lyrics wrong, he would say "they must've changed the words."

A personal one for me is Joey Styles being the lead announcer for MLW and calling a Homicide match in the early 2000s. I remember watching this on the old ECW timeslot on the sunshine network but never found evidence of it occurring

Am I the only one who lived most of my life thinking Gangrel was a European Champion at some point? Because that seed was in my head for the longest time.
