Undertaker vs Lesnar at WM30.
Old Man Taker feels completely pointless now without The Streak and Lesnar destroying Cena did way more for Lesnar's super monster persona than beating Undertaker did. The Streak probably shouldn't have ended at all, but if it did end it should have been a rub to a younger guy instead of another part timer who's ditched the company once.
Honorable mentions:
HHH/Sting at WM31
HBK vs Bret at Survivor Series (alternate timeline where Vince picks Bret over HBK)

You still can't let Lesnar/Taker go. God dammit.
lol
I've accepted it happened and I'm happy with what they did with Lesnar afterwards. I still think ending The Streak was a bad move, though.

30 is probably the only match I undo. Brock didn't need it at all. And WM WAS the streak. Now, it's nothing.

Booker over HHH. I think if anyone was going to convince the management that a black champion could draw, it'd be Booker. Plus it would have been one hell of a story finish.
Alternate answer: Bork over Taker at Sumerslam. Cheating or not, the old man shouldn't have won over a goddamn UFC champ and legit monster.
Alternate, alternate answer: Wyatts over Kane/Taker at Survivor Series. See above.
Alternate, alternate, alternate answer (that redoes an entire match): Roman over Taker at WM30, make Roman the new Taker.

Booker vs HHH would be nice to reverse.
I'd like to see Hogan/Andre go the other way. Andre wins! Gets in better shape, lives forever. Okay, well, we can't have it all.

I don't know if it's the singular one, but I've thought that Punk vs Rock at the Royal Rumble shouldn't have ended with Rocky going over. Wouldn't twice in a lifetime have been a lot more interesting if it's a triple threat? Punk gets his Mania main event, you can take the title off him without him actually losing, I just think it's a real squandered opportunity.

So you would undercut the storyline in order to satisfy some plebs in Pittsburgh for a night?

Worked shoot bollocks aside, I legit believe that somewhere in the last 6+ months, Grado turned into a legit good straight promo guy.

At least we got the Cena/Punk "what if?" main event on that one episode of raw.
I still remember how the thread was in the usual understandable state of lol Raw at the time but then gradually got engrossed in the match after noticing that it wasn't the bog standard Raw main event and in the end we all marked for a piledriver.
Gooood times....sometimes.

I can't agree - Cena vs Rock is WAY different than adding Punk, who honestly didn't belong. Rock vs Cena was made for daytime TV showcases, not showing a third, scrappy looking dude with "different" tattoos.

Maybe it's just me but I hate 3 Way WM main events. WM 20 was straight but WM 2000 really tainted that feeling. Your biggest show of the year should've involve more than one men.

Yeah, I never really got the point in giving Rock a title run at that point. He didn't need it. They can say that Punk got something out of working with Rock, but he lost to a part timer. It's everything he hated about the company and Vince's booking.
Depressing answer: Perro Aguayo & Manik vs Mysterio & Extreme Tiger so Perro doesn't die
Not depressing answer:Atlantis/Ultimo Guerrero
Ultimo needs that mask. God damn.

I was never too fond that after WM20 they just kept throwing out Triple Threat matches for one of the main titles with a middle of the show placement on the card, while they were all fun enough matches it just felt lacking in inpsoration and mania spectacle so to speak.
Especially in the case where bitter rivals Edge and Cena are joined by Big Show due to a messed up love triangle storyline involving Vickie Guerrero.
WM30 got it right though.

People still upset that Rock upped the prestige of Punk, who couldn't main event to save his life with the title, for a month to give him a graceful loss against a real WWE legend. smh guys.
Well, Aguayo would have died soon afterwards in any other match. I dunno. If you could keep him alive, for sure.
Atlantis has won something like 20 mask matches? It's insane.

Let's be honest. That gif should never have happened, and Britain should be ashamed that they let it happen.

Both us and you colonies have a tradition of slapstick and toilet humour. Wrestling is basically that.

That reminds me, I have a question about Britain. There was some thing on the "telly" that had a grown man who was breastfeeding and it was popular, and I can't remember the name of it, but he'd say "Bitty" whenever he wanted to suck some titty milk. Do you remember the name of what it was? I remember this "bitty" shit.

wtf? Little Britain? Isn't that supposed to be held in some reverence over there? That was...mainstream?
Oh boy. Hang on, I think I recognize that guy from this absolute TRASH show I watched one episode of called Pompidou. He didn't speak. He just made noises. All episode long. It was so bad.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Wouldn't that have built up some kind of expectation of a confrontation that couldn't actually happen though?
