HBK doesn't hit the casket and isnt forced to retire during the additude era. WCW fire Bishoff after year 1 of NWO and hire Pat Patterson or Jerry Jerritt to run it Jerry Jarrett, well you know!

This might be random, but Bobby Lashley beats Cena at GAB 2007. I loved Lashley, and thought he had the IT factor. He could have been a major draw in WWE.

I would have never hired HBK. It would have saved Owen's life and spared me years of aggravation.

WrestleMania 31
Instead of joining former Intercontinental Champions: Pat Patterson, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, and Bret Hart, in the Daniel Bryan victory / congratulatory promo, Ric Flair should have joined Sting, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, and the Outsiders (Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall), to even up the odds against Triple H, X-Pac, the New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn), and Shawn Michaels. That would have added just one more element to that already spectacular nWo vs. DX spot.
This could have led to a traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team match, with the Nature Boy and the Heart Break Kid in their respective corners, later that year.

I'm torn between two moments:
I don't remember the exact day, but there was a RAW in 2007, I believe, where John Cena lost to Kevin Federline (sp?) via pinfall. I've never been a Cena fan, but one of the most egregious booking errors that a wrestling company can make is having a non-wrestler, especially a non-athlete, beat a main eventer. This undermines the whole product and that moment highlighted Vince's embarrassing desperation to be noticed by mainstream pop culture.
The other moment was the silly, post-match booking of WM9's main event. In mere minutes, Vince erased a year's worth of trying to break away from the family entertainment era by having Hulk Hogan, who was in the worst shape of his career, snag the WWF title in a nonsensical manner. It made everyone on the roster look weak, and 20+ years later, Vince seems to have no problem sacrificing prime talents for nostalgia acts.
I'm not sure which is worse. The Federline moment was more shameful in the moment, but the Hogan win set the company back for months.

Kevin Nash is in no way involved in WWE during 2011 or Punk doesn't lose to HHH.
Obviously stuff like Owen not being the Blue Blazer or stuff that led to somebody's untimely death are more important but just in terms of storylines I'll go with one of them. Not sure if much would have changed but could have made that angle much much better.

have been watching wrestling for over 35 years, so there are so many I can't even begin to know where to start.
Although the fingerpoke of doom never happening and actually doing a legit Hogan vs. Nash feud would be a really interesting one.

If we're talking purely booking decisions, then I would absolutely have to rewrite Brock Lesnar defeating the Undertaker at WrestleMania 30. It didn't really benefit either wrestler in a meaningful way, ended one of the greatest things in WWE history, and was the biggest booking mistake WWE ever made.
However if we were to throw in backstage politics, I'd change WWE not paying Warrior what he was owed through merchandising in 1996, causing Warrior to skip house shows as a result, therefore resulting in Warrior leaving the WWE. During the Attitude Era, the Utimate Warrior character could have evolved into something even more amazing than it already was, and the potential to have him as a main part of it alongside stars like Stone Cold and the Rock not being realised is one of the greatest shames in wrestling for me. Despite how brief his 1996 run was, you could see Warrior evolving the character, and it's such a shame it was over before it really got going.

Here's one that in my opinion, would have made the following feud a lot more interesting:
Survivor Series 2001: The WCW/ECW Alliance wins and takes control.
RAW becomes Nitro, Smackdown becomes ECW.
The next night on Nitro, Flair is introduced as the new GM. Immediately, you can have WWF guys start to invade these shows in the same way WCW had started. You can introduce WCW guys that were missing, such as Steiner, and re-introduce Eddie Guerrero under the WCW banner. A month later, Vince hires the nWo to destroy the whole show. Eventually, Goldberg comes in to fight off everyone, but to everyone's surprise, he's representing the WWF.
Then the WWF could take control back at the Royal Rumble with a Goldberg vs. Austin main event and everything goes back to normal.
Age of Apocalypse, man!

Owen chooses not to use the piledriver vs Austin @ SSlam97.
Jericho turns on Team WWF @ Invasion 2001 also Rock has returned & is part of this team instead of Kane. Jericho goes on to be booked strongly and defeats Austin @ Summerslam 2001.

Vince patiently waits to spring the invasion storyline on us, waiting for the guaranteed contracts to run out. Everyone was in WWE that mattered within a year minus Goldberg. There could have been a legit invasion angle, and not a survivors series match with 8 WWE guys and 2 WCW.

Big cena fan here, but Ryback SHOULD have beat cena for the title at extreme rules 2013. Feed me more chants were as loud as ever and he had the look of a Champion.

Undertaker should have retired 20-0 after the End of an Era Hell in a Cell match.

I would like to see what the Attitude era would have been like without Austin and Rock.
I'm almost certain WCW would be the only company standing today.

I don't know that I could pick one. There are 3 injustices I feel I would like to correct (Aside from not letting anyone die or be injured):
- CM Punk main events WM29 with Rock and/or Cena
- Owen Hart faces Bret at Survivor Series 1994 and wins the WWF Title instead of Bob Backlund
- Roddy Piper wins the WWF Title from Hogan at the Wrestling Classic. Then Piper, not Bundy, faces Hogan inside the cage for the title at WM2.
I would have also booked Raven's entire WWF career differently but that takes more than rewriting one moment in history.

Hogan's ridiculous title victory at WM9 and pretty much everything about the way they handled Punk after his MITB title win.
