An idea I've thought about toying around with was a slight twist on #2. What if the Montreal Screwjob was a work and Bret Hart stayed with WWF? That opens the door to many possibilities. Welcome to the forum! |

this is WWE and WCW's biggest 'If'. 
In Japanese pro wrestling, they have completely different 25 'if'.
Like 'What if Rikidozan didn't die due to stabbing incident?'
Btw, I like your 25 'If'. But I would alter No. 23 with
'What if WWE successfully built CM Punk as the next Stonecold Austin rather than keep leaning on Cena?"
It would be more interesting question for me. 
Anyway, thank you for awesome post, Boss! |

Would be a interesting alternative history scenario to fantasy book. I have actually done that once. My first major diary in fact. I'm more interested in the alternate idea though, of what if Vince McMahon has finally gotten fed up with Shawn Michaels and the screwjob turns into a double screwjob, Bret retains and Vince fires HBK? Bret was old school and didn't much care for the way the attitude was coming into WWF wrestling but with Austin at the forefront Hart vs Austin feuding can dominate '98 and they loved working together. Triple H is smart enough to know that he'll get lost in the WCW shuffle even with the backing he'd have there, I could see him staying and Bret could then also feud with Trips, Taker and some others I'm sure and then retire in the early 00's. |

Also how long in jail are we talking for Vince?
Word is that he at least had basic outlines,for major feuds and storylines for maybe a year stored up. If he went to jail of course.
Of course it's doubtful he had plans for everyone and everything and even what he did have would eventually run out but unless he went to jail for a decent while, it could take time for the WWF product to feel much less Vince-ish.

Worst case scenario Vince was facing 11 years in jail and $1,000,000 in fines. He likely wouldn't have served the entire 11 years but I think at least 5 is likely. |
