You have the power to alter history by keeping five people from ever being involved in the wrestling business. All five go on to live comfortable lives, but never so much as get a passing mention in the industry. Who do you choose, and if you’d care to share, why?

Comfortable lives? Then the Von Erich boys. This is a good one outside of the obvious murderers and such (and most of those people probably would've been trouble wrestling or not). I wouldn't want to remove a life of potential excitement and luxury from someone who I just don't like creatively or otherwise. The Von Erich sons didn't get much from wrestling except a momentary high. Three of them were dead by 25, Kerry by 33, and Kevin had to live the rest of his live dealing with it all.

I feel like the others (except maybe Del Rio) would of been good people if they weren’t exposed to chairshots and too much fame. But if moolah goes then all those women wouldn’t be pimped out

For the protection of those in wrestling I would say Benoit, Bradshaw, Sunny, Vince, New Jack. Though I do hope they wouldn't lead happy lives. But it would eliminate backstage bullying, attempted murders, assaults and really untouchable subjects.
But with others taking a different approach which seems like a good idea, for their protection I would say Owen, Nancy (Woman), Sweet Georgia Brown, Elizabeth, Scott Hall. I would say Jake but his later life has been pretty nice I think.

People in that much power are most likely gonna be terrible money hungry people. Hell even if someone like DDP got power like Vince I’m sure he might lose a bit of morals

Tenryu was apparently quite a nice promoter, and Paul Boesch and Sam Muchnick are regarded as decent too, although that may only be in relation to other promoters, so…

Wrestling would have been just fine without him trying to run everyone out of business for decades, protecting pedophiles, and booking 20 year old women to make out with him for storyline reasons. I'll add Fritz Von Erich, Mel Phillips, JBL and Owen Hart.

But if moolah goes then all those women wouldn’t be pimped out Oh yeah, if it was true, then screw Lillian Ellison for sure, like I said. But there's people on both sides of the argument so it gets complicated for me. Then again it's true for EVERYTHING these days, even common sense stuff is totally tribal. I made reference to this YouTube commenter, "A Little Reality," dunno who he is and how much weight his views have. Get ready, this will be a long one...

Anyway I think the idea was, people whose lives would be better without wrestling. Not having to face the "sickness" as Roddy put it of becoming famous. Am I right?

After recently watching the entire run of WWF shows from 1997-2001 i'm going to say Test, The Headbangers, Dlo Brown and Big Show.
If those 5 were ever a Survivor Series team they should be called "The Black Hole of Entertainment"
