Gayda was called up too soon, and it showed in that mixed tag match with Trish. I know Kenny King still wrestles, but what happened to Jake? I'm guessing he went back to being a fireman full-time. Looks like he works in real restate in Bakersfield and seems to be fairly successful at it. Good for him. So many wrestlers end up in real estate. Porn stars too. What's that about?

Too often Real Estate is basically "a carny with a sense of fashion". So people that had to sell themselves transitioning to real estate seems natural.

It can be really good money, you can do it anywhere, takes some showmanship, there's always a market for it. I'm talking about real estate, not porn.

I can't speak for the adult film industry, but for wrestlers I'd imagine real estate scratches the performance niche, the "selling," the having an audience and the flexible hours/schedule. Not to mention the thrill of being recognized and chance to make some money off of it.

After seeing a 1985 weekly show, here's a possible one:
The best-remembered '80s and '90s I-C title design debuted RIGHT AFTER Tito won for the second time and Hammer destroyed the green belt.
Tito had the green belt with him, and commentary mentioned that he "fixed" it but the WWF was about to present him in the coming weeks with a new I-C title.

Bryan winning the title at WM 30 felt like the first time for him winning the the big one, despite him being a two time champ prior.

The story most wrestlers tell is that The Sandman wasn't meant to be in the ring until the end of the Vinces illegitimate son reveal and they had to scramble to find a way to get him out of the ring. While that may have been the case everyone forgets that JBL was also in the ring too. JBL and Sandman long lost twins who were sons of Vince... Where is my time machine I must get this booked

Plus, the entire point was that they were hinting at Kennedy (who everyone knew was supposed to get the push) while teasing Sandman because he was over as f*** at this point.

I don’t remember the segment exactly but shouldn’t one of the hints got rid of Sandman? Like “He’s NOT Extreme”?

If I remember correctly, though, Sandman wasn’t on the ECW roster, I think he was on Raw.

As I said I don’t recall really, just have a vague memory of something should have sent Sandman away but didn’t. Kind of like Grandpa Simpson standing up, sitting down and then standing back up when they were looking for Springfield’s oldest man.

The Higher Power revealed himself to Austin and Austin alone before this. Either Vince is a master of disguise, Austin is an idiot or they had no ending for this angle. Austin tipped off Linda during the week, and they basically undid Vince's power in the same show as the higher power reveal. This itself is a big Mandela Effect in its own right. It seems like everyone remembers this moment as a triumph for the Mr. McMahon character, where he fooled the entire company, including Austin and his own family. Who can stop Vince McMahon and the combined power of the Ministry and the Corporation, the Corporate Ministry? In reality, his gambit resulted in his arch nemesis becoming the CEO of his own company because he decided to piss off half of his family which included half the ownership of the company and the then CEO of the company. Vince ended up revealing himself as the Higher Power and it went so badly he didn't exit the segment to his own music.

Because “Oh by the way, Austin is the CEO now” happened in literally the same promo segment.

Offhand a couple of personal ones I can think of is I pretty often caught myself thinking of Jericho as a former US champion well before he actually won it, and I remember at one point being super surprised Rikishi was alive (I think in the runup to Raw 1000) because I could've sworn I'd heard otherwise.

Non wrestling, I'm surprised don King is still Alive. I thought for sure he died.
Back to wrestling, wrestle mania 8, I always pictuted Harvey wippleman breaking up the pin at the end but when I saw it recently-ish where he just jumped on the apron.

i can't remember Dr Death fighting anyone else other than Bart Gunn in the WWE, and not just in the Brawl for All, he was in an angle with Bart Gunn when JR turned heel, but i can't remember him having a match on RAW or Superstars against anyone else over than Bart.
people also seem to forget Godfather was in the nation, and he was called Karma Mustafa, so "The Godfather" was just his nickname, so the character of Karma the ultimate fighting machine and the Godfather are the same guy.

Kama Mustafa, yeah. And IIRC he didn't turn into The Godfather as we knew him in the Attitude Era until after the DX parody.

He was just called "The Godfather of the Nation" before the dx parody, he dropped it to just Godfather when the Nation split up.
