I could have sworn I saw The Undertaker vs The Berserker on a PPV after the sword incident but it never actually happened.

I don’t really think there’s any Mandela effects, at least to the extent of what Brian Kendrick described in the New Day podcast. Everything’s been documented pretty well and replayed enough that the only way something really feels like it changed is because of revisionist history. Only thing I can think of that comes close to a Mandela effect is Hogan calling NWO “New World Organization” in the promo where he turned heel, but I’ve never seen people argue if he said Organization or Order first.

Also, the fact that it was the first in a series of segments that have mostly been forgotten, but the "tank" happened to air on the episode of Raw that broke the Nitro streak, which was actually the result of an Austin vs. McMahon match that led to Dude Love's heel turn. I doubt WWE will be in any hurry to bring up the DX segment where they “blow up” the CNN building with a cheap CG explosion. You're just jealous that you didn't get to take a ride with Triple H in the COCKpit

I disagree. There’s been a few examples here. Not to toot my own horn, though if I could, I certainly would, my example and Shawn kicking Marty through the Barber Shop window.

I feel like the Shawn throwing Marty is the prime example. I can’t speak for the majority, but that clip has been shown and talked about so many times, it’s embedded in my brain that Marty got thrown, not super kicked. So far, the best example I read on this thread, and one of the only ones I can say clearly got me, was X-Pac never being IC champ.

That there were multiple Ultimate Warriors and Undertakers, well aside from the actual Undertfaker. Suppose that's more urban myth though.

The DX Tank has to be the most overpushed revisionist history WWE peddles to its fans When it happened DX was a middle card act and it was just a comedy segment. Nobody really even gave a shit, but they herald it as "A TURNING POINT IN THE MONDAY NIGHT WARS" and it' ridiculous, lol. Also, the fact that it was the first in a series of segments that have mostly been forgotten, but the "tank" happened to air on the episode of Raw that broke the Nitro streak, which was actually the result of an Austin vs. McMahon match that led to Dude Love's heel turn. It was actually the result of Nitro being pre-empted by the NBA Playoffs, meaning a one hour show aired after midnight.

I thought Bobby Heenan had a few champions in his stable before 1989 (his first official championship was the IC belt with 'Ravishing' Rick Rude). I thought he had Big John Studd win the IC belt, but am wrong. BTW, I'm only referring to his WWF run, not his championship runs with Nick Bockwinkle, etc.

I’m not sure if this counts, but for most of 1997 (and again in 2000-01), Raw and Nitro weren’t actually fully head-to-head. Nitro was from 8-10pm ET and Raw was from 9-11pm ET. Unless you really wanted to see all those great Tom Brandi vs Marc Mero and DOA vs Truth Commission matches, you could watch all of Nitro and still catch the important parts of Raw. And in the Fall, you could watch all of Nitro, the good hour of Raw, and then the 3rd and 4th Quarters of Monday Night Football without having to use your VCR.

In Australia at the time they weren't even in direct competition. Raw aired (on two weeks delay!) on a Tuesday night and Nitro aired on delay on Friday nights.

Chris Jericho won the WWF title in 2000 over Triple H. People say it happened on Raw, but it's not in the record books and Triple H says it never happened.

Mark Jindrak originally being part of Evolution and getting replaced by Batista. What really happened was that Evolution was formed in early 2003 consisting of HHH, Flair, Orton, and Batista. Both Orton and Batista get hurt soon afterwards, with Orton returning in May of 2003. During this time, vignettes of Evolution were filmed with HHH, Flair, Orton and Jindrak. These vignettes were also filmed without Jindrak, with the non Jindrak ones airing. Batista eventually rejoined Evolution in late 2003 after recovering from injury. Jindrak was never an original member of Evolution, while Batista was.

A lot of people to this day that don't really follow wrestling anymore still swear that Ultimate Warrior died sometime after Summerslam 1991 and the returning Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania was someone else. I was able to convince some of the truth, but not all.

That fans were chanting “Die Rocky Die”.
In fact it was just one sign and the crowd just didn’t care about him.

JR's line "As God as my witness, he is broken in half!" seems to be what people attach to Foley being chucked off the Cell, but that line actually came about 10 seconds later, with less emphasis. The freaked-out line when he hits is "Good God almighty! Good God almighty! They've killed him!" Which is a really interesting call, now that I think about it. Who's "they"? McMahon and Russo?
George Wells "vomiting" at WM2 is a pretty good Mandela example. He was just spitting/foaming to sell the snake, but the story sometimes gets twisted that he was barfing.

A lot of people seem to remember the crowd chanting "Let's go Ziggler" at No Way Out 2012, they were actually chanting "Lets go Sheamus"
