What if during the DX invasion in 1998, Bischoff opened the doors and let DX onto Monday Nitro?

I got my own 10 what if scenarios. 1: What if Magnum TA never had that career ending accident? 2: What if WCW never closed down? 3: What if Vince Russo stayed in WWE during the Monday Night War? 4: What if Steve Austin never got fired from WCW? 5: What if Goldberg never had that cut arm injury in 1999? 6: What if the Finger Poke of Doom never happened? 7: What if Lex Luger never left WWE for WCW? 8: What if Bret Hart never had that career ending concussion? 9: What if JCP was still in business? 10: What if Stone Cold never had that neck injury?

What If Triple H stayed with Chyna and never dated Stephanie?

What if the Benoit tragedy hadn’t occurred should be on this list Had Benoit not died, then WWE likely would not have gone PG as quickly as it did. Concussions would not have been a focal point for WWE. Chairshots to the head likely would not have been banned. The locker room would have been different, as Chris was one of the leaders. So WWE may have been a completely different company today had that not happened. Benoit’s death was the most impactful death in WWE history, and helped kick start the concussion movement in all of sports

What if sting had a match with taker

WhatCulture Job interview: Interviewer: Why do you think your perfect for the job? Applicant: My names Adam. Interviewer: You're hired!

What if Chyna won the world heavyweight championship?

What if Scott Hall & Kevin Nash hadn't left the WWF? That means no MSG Curtain Call, Hunter Hearst Helmsley wins KOTR 1996, and therefore no Austin 3:16. IMO their departure was as critical to the success of the Attitude Era as Bret Hart's exit and the Montreal Screwjob. Ironic that WWF's biggest stars going to WCW was pivotal to their eventual success in the MNW.

What if WWE bought UFC a decade ago? (My two cents: they would've messed it up. They're good at messing stuff up)

What if...The good adams didn't leave Whatculture.

What if Owen hadn't fallen

What if cm punk never left

What if Cole kept his blond hair lights

WHAT IF JBL NEVER BEAT UP THE BLUE MEANIE???

What if the graphics department knew how to spell "Alliance"?

What If CM Punk hadn’t made that Pipebomb that got him the 434 day WWE Title reign

What if Benoit hadn't used the headbutt?

What if james ellsworth won the wwe title imagine the 5 star matches he would have

What if Triple H and Stephanie never gotten married? I thought for sure that one was gonna be in the list, I mean think about it, if that doesn’t happen, then this also doesn’t happen: 1. Maybe Chyna and Hunter would still be together and she will be alive and healthy 2. The reign of terror doesn’t happen and RAW from 2002-2005 is actually watchable 3. Tripps maybe wins the world title, but not as much as he has and is not treated as the guy like they like to tell you 4. NXT, the Takeovers, Bálor, Owens, Asuka, Nakamura, Sami, Black etc... would probably never happen if Triple H wasn’t part of the family

What if Brock LESNAR landed the shooting star press

WWE didn't beat WCW, AOL beat WCW

What if Stone Cold never competed again following his 1997 neck injury?

What if the curtain call didn’t happen? Would Steve Austin ever become the guy in the WWF?

WhatCulture Wrestling ECW never had a Monday spot on TNN, ECW was aired on Fridays. TNN just used ECW as a experiment to see if wrestling would fly on their network, in fact after the first Raw on TNN aired on Monday September 25, 2000, the final episode of ECW on TNN was aired October 6, 2000 the next Friday after.

What if chris benoit didn't pass away? Would there be a pg era?

if bret never left the wwf. the attitiude era would have still happened. in 1997, the wwf was on a collision course with attitude with or without bret. he would have probably been wwf commissioner or the in ring leader of the corporation vs austin.

I could think of three other "What if" that could have been on here. What if Andre The Giant beat Hulk Hogan for the championship at Wrestlemania 3? What if Benoit hadn't "killed" his family? And finally, What if Owen hadn't fallen with the accident during WWF Over the Edge?

Shawn Michaels vs The Rock has got to be the biggest dream match ever. But i second the thought of HBK vs Eddie Guerrero as well!

What if brock never left in 2004

What if Brock lesnar was pregnant.

You could say "what if" about several wrestler deaths. Eddie, benoit, owen.......but, what about Pillman? That character was way before its time and never even came close to its potential. Imagine what he could've done during the following 4-5 years.

I agree that its a good thing Shawn got hurt he needed a break. Everything happens for a reason he finally got his life together in that time period.

What if WCW was still around?

Shawn Michaels was already heading down a bad road while he was with the WWE. Had he jumped to WCW, that would've been the end of him. Look at what it did to Bret Hart ? Came over from the WWE off of getting screwed by Vince McMahon at Survivor Series 1997, which they could've easily capitalized on as The Montreal Screwjob was the biggest wrestling storyline at that time but they did nothing with him, then Owen Hart dies in 1999, Hart gets kicked in the head by Goldberg and then his career was over. In hindsight, I'm glad HBK stuck with the WWE.

What if Tommy Dreamer never muttered “please sir, can I have another?”?

What If the streak wasn't broken?

What if Sting had joined WWE while he was still on his prime? What if Vince Russo stood in WWE? What if Seth Rollins never hurt his knee? What if Hornswaggle never was in WWE and they hadn't a goto guy for ending all the storylines they ended by putting him onto them? And what if Mojo Rawley never split with Zack Ryder?

What if Adam didn't talk to underage girls?

What if ..... Kane never removed mask? Brock never left ? The American badass never was? Triple h was in the invasion angle ? Stone cold never took his ball home ? Owen Hart .....R.I.P Stone cold and the rock never talked in 3rd person? Kurt angles signed in 1996? John Cena stayed rapping? They never gave cm punk commentary time ? Aj lee doesn’t call out Stephanie McMahon &/or never leaves ? Stone cold doesn’t get fired from WCW? Booker T had won at WM19? Vince accepted Eric’s challenge ? Pleeeeeease do more of these!!!!!

Two things: First, if Hall & Nash hadn't left the WWF there would have been no curtain call, which means HHH wouldn't have been "punished" which means he would have won KOTR 96, which means no "Austin 3:16" Also, if Bret hadn't left I'm pretty sure the attitude era would have happened. WWF was already going that way and Bret was on board. Remember the obscenity laced "shoot" promo he did on Vince and the fans "If you don't like it tough shit!" Plus, Vince still would have been involved in some way. They were obviously building to something, perhaps babyface Vince vs Bret (which obviously would not have been great) but they were going somewhere. Bret & Vince kept having physical altercations. Most importantly though, if Bret's there Owen's not doing the Blue Blazer gimmick.

I don’t think ECW would still be alive today. I think around the time it went out of business Paul Heyman was exhausted and ready to give up. He only came back and did it the second time because WWE was handling all the business decisions and all he had to do was book matches.

What if Nails beat boss man

What if sunny actually did playboy back then?

So early it wasn't even in my subscription feed yet

What if Chris Benoit would've never murder/suicide? What if Daniel Bryan never "had to" retire? We could've had Benoit/Bryan matches What if Edge never had to retire?

3:56 You spelt alliance incorrectly.

Great video bro

Yeah I'm going to need you guys to continue doing these "What if" videos! 👍

What if Shawn Michaels jobbed to Bret Hart at Wrestlemania 13?

What if Bret screwed Vince

What if Big Bossman didn’t steal Big Show’s dad’s casket?

I like to think that, at least for Hall, he would have had a better legacy past the year 2000. Nash fit well in WCW but I always felt Hall should have been Razor forever. Maybe he wouldn’t have lasted long (since he did get fired for his antics), but maybe he would have had a better support system in dealing with his personal troubles.

The Alliance should have been NWO, Sting, Goldberg, Booker & Jericho leading the way.

What if the pie wasn't thrown at Kevin Owens' face?!?!?!

What If Eric Bischoff found a buyer for WCW.

Every mention of the running gag that is the JBL-Blue Meanie debacle, is an instant like from me.

Wrestling probably wouldn’t have existed on a big scale if WCW would have won the Monday Night Wars yeah it wasn’t drawing the same numbers but it was still doing well, the reason it ceased to exist was because of the merger of Time Warner and AOL in which AOL didn’t want to be associate with wrestling. If WWE didn’t win wrestling would be a total different landscape today

Yeh honestly without Shawn Michaels hurting his back, he would have died due to the life he was leading at that time and we still wouldn't have gotten a Eddie Guerrero vs Shawn Michaels match

NFL films made an exact same video. As a HUGE fan of pro football and WWE, I loved the NFL's version of this video so much, I kept thinking to myself, what if a video like that was made for WWE? Now I know what it was like, thank you whatculture, I loved this video, my faith in you has risen only slightly but great job.

What if NWO and DX were switched and NWO were in wwe and DX were in WCW

Ecw would have still gone out of business in another year or two knowing there past history with money problem

You fail to mentioned how the Shield wouldn't have been more over or pushed if Ohno was there. Reigns was the powerhouse of the group, a needed addiction to the group that complemented the vastly different styles of Ambrose and Rollins

Great video

top 10 masked luchadores in history? u can guess why by my avatar

What if AJ Styles joined WWE before the 2010s?

what if the fingerpoke of doom didnt happen?

You discussed what might have happened if Eddie Guerrero hadn't died but didn't even _suggest_ the possibility that Chris Benoit wouldn't have gone off the deep end? At Eddie's memorial show, Benoit got to talk about what his best friend meant to him and said _"He was the one friend that I had that I could go to and pour my heart out to if I was going through something, a personal issue, a personal problem. He was the one guy that I could call and talk to, and know that he'd understand and... he would talk me out of it."_ Achingly sad words at the time, positively _haunting_ in hindsight. If Eddie had lived, not only would Chris, Nancy and Daniel Benoit most likely still be alive, Benoit would have continued to be one of WWE's biggest stars, and WWE would never have received the nasty shock that compelled it to go PG in the wake of the scrutiny the Benoit case brought on them. Somewhat perversely, that may not even have been a completely good thing, as it was Benoit's tragic case more than anything else that finally kicked the company in the ass and made them start to really look out for the health and welfare of their performers.

New Drinking Game: Drink 1 shot of Tequila everytime Adam says "Wrestling History"

Why did wwe get rid of hulk hogan he could have been 17 time world champion

Wonder what would happen with the Vince McMahon storyline when he supposley had died in that limousine when it blew up if it wasn't for the Benoit incident. Who knows if Vince McMahon would of showed up months or a couple of years later in which he managed to survive or stay dead and never be seen again afterwards.

Awesome video

good video brother 👍👍👍

What if the dynamite kid was in the hall fame

What if ken shamrock never happened

What If John Cena lost to Edge at Unforgiven 2006, went to Smackdown, and turned heel like he originally wanted to?

This is very interesting, you’ll probably have to do a second list about this topic. There’s so many things that have a huge butterfly effect to them. Example: no Montreal screwjob, no evil Vince, no feud between him and Austin. Or with the Hall and Nash walking out: Austin doesn’t win King of the Ring, we don’t get the 3:16 promo and he might’ve not been the guy like we all know him today. (Both had to do with stone cold but it wasn’t intentional)

What if beniott hadn't gone mental

My guess is if Hart never went to WCW then he might have been one of the many heels feuding with Stone Cold over the WWF Championship and he might have just been there and still winning titles but not really winning the WWF Title as much

I liked the invasion thing! Maybe it is just because I was quite young, but I thought it was cool!

"The sound of a million smarks" hahaha

no simon

What if WCW never fired Steve Austin

Omg that invasion angle kinda broke my heart with all the dream matches that never happend. But eddie i miss you 😭😭

*What if Stasiak never blabbed about WCW being in WM17*

What if this channel actually did some research

The attitude era was already taking place by the time Bret left.

#1: What is Wrestlemania 1 wasn't a success? The entire company was gambled on this one event #2: What is the WWE Network failed? Another huge gamble that easily could have bankrupted the company #3: What if the Chris Benoit tragedy hadn't occurred? This is the permanent black eye on the company that nearly brought down the industry and made the WWE permanently switch to PG. Also, CTE likely wouldn't have been viewed as seriously in wrestling or pro sports as a whole leading to many more people suffering from it. #4: What if Vince lost the steroid trial? Company likely never would have went public, future could have been in doubt, external regulations would likely be implemented on wrestling #5: What if Stone Cold never broke his neck OR What if Stone Cold never returned after breaking his neck? WWE could have had their biggest star of all time for much longer or they might not have had him at all. It is unlikely the WWE could have survived the Monday Night Wars without Austin #6: What if Hulk Hogan never went to WCW? It is unlikely we would have seen the Attitude era if WWE wasn't desperate and playing from behind after WCW signed the biggest wrestling star in the world at the time. Hogan staying in WWE would have prevented the NWO from forming and thus crippling WCW in the monday night wars. #7: What if Eddie Guerrero didn't die? Potential storylines/booking aside, the WWE drug policy would likely never have been implemented meaning many more wrestler deaths could have happened and the locker room would likely still be "dirty". #8: What if Bret dropped the belt willingly and the Montreal Screwjob didn't happen? WWE couldn't have afforded Bret's contract so he needed to go to WCW. If he left on regular terms though (which he should have), the WWE wouldn't have come up with the Mr. Mcmahon character which was the #1 antagonist in WWE history and necessary for turning the tide against WCW. #9: What if The Rock never went to Hollywood? Ratings likely wouldn't have dropped as far as they did after the attitude era if one of the 2 biggest stars in the company hadn't left. Future stars like Cena, Brock, Orton, Punk, etc would have had a longer, harder road to the top if they reached it at all with The Rock still on top. #10: What if Brock Lesnar didn't leave the company to play football in 2004? Brock was already on top of the industry after only 2 years in WWE... the company missed out on many prime years at someone who could have potentially been one of the biggest stars of all time and him being there would have taken pressure off of the WWE to shove John Cena down fans' throats meaning Cena likely would have been better received during the span of his career

I sadly agree but at times I wouldn't say sadly cause I do miss wcw a lot and I wish it would come back

What if wrestlemania failed

What if kharma hadn't got pregnant

great video

I honestly don't think The Shield would have been as big as it was if Chris Hero was in the group instead of Reigns. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of Ohno but Reigns added something menacing to the Shield.

I still miss Eddie. I can just imagine Eddie feuding with Bret for the title.

We want Simeone !

You just said iconic.... Its iiiiiconic!!!!

I started watching just before the match in January 1984, i might never have kept watching

What if John Cena was fired back in 2002.

What if i was first?

Eddie vs Shawn at wrestlemania would have been the single greatest wrestling match in the history of professional wrestling and we all know it

the "allaince" lol
