Thought this would make a good thread/discussion
If you could make ONLY ONE change to wrestling history, what would it be and why?
It can be a title change, a fued, a firing/hiring etc anything, but you can only pick one thing to change.
I'd have Vince buy WCW like he did, but not reveal it and keep it going as a separate brand

ECW on TNN, basically destroyed the company. If they never tried it I think they could have kept building and eventually find a better suited network for them

The Screwjob happens but it's a work and Bret Hart never leaves WWF.
The Screwjob happens in Montreal just as it did and Bret disappears until the DX PPV where he (instead of Owen) attacks HBK at the end of the match.
Hart Foundation feuds with DX throughout 1998.
Austin and Rock still get their pushes. Owen doesn't die. Good things happen.

Shawn not getting injured at the 1998 Royal Rumble/ doesn't get bad into his drug problem. That way he is around for the rest of the attitude era and already there when the other "wrestlers" come over in 99/2000.

The Chris Benoit murder/suicide thing never happens.
It's pretty obvious that once that happened, the WWE changed, and not particularly for the better.

Owen doesn't botch the pildriver on Austin at SummerSlam 1997.
Austin can keep the intense style that he had to change due to the injury. plus, he doesn't have to leave in 1999, altering the course of WWE history when The rock and Triple h took over in his place.

the MSG incident never happens Without that we would have never gotten Austin 3:16. Angle "turning" on Team WWF before Survivor Series. I get it, he was a mole. But still, before that he was over as hell as a face and it was all killed. Automatically a heel and Austin went back to face without any explanation. I care more about that then the other complaints others have about the Invasion angle.

When Vince buys WCW and ECW, he keeps them open as separate companies.

ECW never closes, and becomes the new breeding ground for amazing talent.

It has one of the biggest impacts of any event in wrestling history.

You replace Miz's reign with a JTG reign and it would have achieved the same amount of success.

ECW finds a new television outlet. Might have only kept them around a little while longer, but I think it would be worth it.

I honestly believe that if Vince unabashedly tried saving face with the Canadian crowd following the Screwjob by working Owen into the World Title picture as a reward for sticking it out, the trickle out effect might have saved Owen's life.
