 What's good Josh boros back again with another video so I'm gonna check out another five crazy butterfly effect stories in wrestling we checked out Another video from wrestling flashback he checked out the The crazy butterfly effects in wrestling so he had some more To talk about so this should be a good one. It's crazy. I one thing happens and it changes the course For someone's career someone's career can be made off of just one Incident that's how that's how funny the wrestling world can be man So this should be a good one appreciate all the love and support you guys shown on channel Subscribe to wrestling flashback if you haven't already linked to the original video is down below Is this song in wrestling so much can change as a result of one incident injuries and suspensions can derail a Restless push while a backstage moment can create a push a match and a single tweet can help spawn a promotion These are examples of the butterfly effect which suggests that a change in one small event can have a big impact leading to a much Larger event taking place down the line in our last video We saw how John Cena's freestyle at the back of the bus on a European tour was seen by the right person and ended up Spawning a gimmick that helps seen her reach the main event We also saw how one tweet set up a chain reaction of events that change the resting world forever leading to the creation of AEW and in one of the most emotional moments in recent history We saw how an unfortunate injury to Mustafa Ali ultimately led to the rise of Kofi mania So join us as in this video We look at five more crazy butterfly effect stories in wrestling before we get into the list this video is Contracts with WCW diesel and razor Ramon bowed out of the WWF in May 1996 with both of their final matches taking place on a Madison Square Garden house show following the main event diesel and Razor said farewell to the WWF fans alongside fellow members of the clique Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hurst Helmsley With all four men sharing a moment in the ring together in what would become known as the curtain call It was a rare sight to see baby faces and heels being friendly with each other like this So upon seeing this the fans in the building reacted in a big way while also saying goodbye to diesel and Ramon Despite the click getting permission from Vince McMahon the kayfey breaking nature of the curtain call caused a fraught backstage This forced McMahon's hand into punishing at least one person from the group and since razor and diesel were gone And Michaels was a top-star and current WWE Champion The person that ended up being punished was Hunter Hurst Helmsley They caused such an uproar that Vince had to do something about it and the next day He did something to me about it Helmsley had been penciled into in that year's King of the Ring tournament where Helmsley would have received a push off the back Of his victory, but following the curtain call this plan was a raise Helmsley was instead moved down the card for several months the King of the Ring crown and subsequent push was instead given to stone cold Because of that even though he got a approval from Vince people were like yo, what the fuck breaking kayfey around this time People were still buying into wrestling as real real storylines real beef for the most part so Triple H was not the odd man out to get punished and because of that We got stone cold being the guy to give push that King of Ring Who upon winning the tournament delivered one of wrestling's most iconic promos When it came to creative Austin wasn't an overnight success following King of the Ring But he continued to make waves before kicking into high gear at the end of 1996 Resting an exceptional match against Bret Hart the Survivor Series and then winning the 1997 Royal Rumble after Austin last eliminated the hitman this set up another match picking the two against each other at WrestleMania 13 The plan had initially been for Brett to face Shawn Michaels at mania in a rematch from the previous year's show However, Michael's apparent injury resulted in the heartbreak kid being replaced with Austin making this the second time in less than a Year that Austin stepped into a big role despite not being the original first choice Many have speculated that Michael's feigned the severity of his injury so that he didn't have to lose to Brett I was told in August that it was me and Shawn of WrestleMania 13 You know, he was gonna retire because of his knee. It just seemed so Bait up at the time Austin was put in a career defining performance games, bro And if it wasn't already clear that Austin was a force to be reckoned with then this match more than proved it One year later the office era officially began as he captured his first WWF championship Defeating Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 14 the very man that Austin took the place of at the previous year's WrestleMania Stone Cold benefited from Hunter Hertzhounds 1996 and then legitimately Became a mega star because of one situation and everything falling into the place for it was it's one of those things Some people just destined to do great things It was it was just destined for Stone Cold to be one of the biggest draws in Wrestling history, bro took advantage of Shawn Michaels injury 1997 Austin's King of the Ring triumph and more specifically his WrestleMania 13 performance Served as launching pads that rocket to the rattlesnake to the very top of the industry Alondra blazes firing influences the screw job and mr. McMahon in 1995 when financial trouble and as a result were forced to cut back on numerous expenses This included the talent roster with Vince McMahon making a business call to strip back the women's division Allowing the women's champion Alondra Blaze contract to expire in the process This angered blaze who left the company with a title belt still in her possession due to the company Forgetting to ask her to give it back her release acted as the beginning of a series of events that ended up affecting the resting world in a big way Although Alondra eventually came to terms with Vince's decision to let her go it still left us our taste in her mouth So upon signing for WCW and re-adopting the name Medusa She made it known to WCW president Eric Bischoff that she still had the WWF women's title Eric wasted little time in debuting Medusa booking her to appear on the December 18 1995 Where she opened the show by taking the WWF women's title and throwing it into the trash can creating one of WCW's most shocking moments Medusa's trashing of the title proved to be a massive shot fired in the Monday night wars and her appearance on nitro also Influenced Vince McMahon's decision two years later to orchestrate wrestling's biggest screw job that set off a chain of events behind the scenes As well as what you saw play out on camera WWF champion Bret Hart was unwilling to drop the title to arch rivals Shawn Michaels since Michaels had previously That makes sense because they forgot to ask her You know saying they didn't care that much. They forgot to get the titles from her So when she went to WCW and did that live on television and through the trash I mean through the trash through the title in the trash Vince probably was worried that That uh, Bret was going to do the same thing even though he said he was going to drop it that night or that Monday night before he left or what not and Vince wasn't sure he thought you know saying it's crazy It's crazy that Vince didn't trust him to you know go with the plans like so he double crossed him and and Was gonna screw him over to make sure that the title was not Going to you know go to WCW and I don't think Bret would have did that I don't think he would have just been spiteful like that or what not Even though they already agreed to for him to drop the title on Monday night I don't you know I'm saying it was one of those things where it's like it's a different situation because you know he's gonna drop the title the next night that was the plan I believe and He was like nah screw that Said he wouldn't do the same for brett magman believed brett was the one being unreasonable So vince instead agreed to screw brett out of the title calling for the bell when michael's had brett in the sharpshooter Despite heart never submitting brett had been booked to retain the championship as a result of disqualification Only for him to be screwed instead But had brett retained many have said magman was afraid of brett heart showing up on wcw with the wwf title Just like medusa did with the women's belt in 1995 the medusa incident had proved bischoff couldn't be trusted and eric's subsequent acts of giving away finishes to wwf's tape shows live on nitro proved even further that bischoff would do whatever it took to get one over the wwf to maintain Ultimately backfired on him. We have to survive a series vince was interviewed on raw where he doubled down on the screw job Staying he was left with no choice But to do what he did pinning the blame fully on brett heart with the famous line brett screwed brett brett screwed brett i have no sympathy whatsoever for brett The implications of this interview were massive magman had just made himself the biggest heel in the business. Yep the ww audience was At mr. McMahon for what it happened. I know i'll be who they want me to be Sure, the wwf and it worked in his favor because He definitely bro People hated him Because that was a real thing. He screwed him over It was a real thing. I wasn't that wasn't a work He legitimately screwed him over because they had agreements on what they were gonna do when it came to the title And it just if he fed into it it worked He became one of the greater greater the greatest heel character because of it You know it just propelled him even more for people to hate him lost arguably their biggest star But in the process they had gained perhaps their greatest villain as the man character was born And it was just one month later that vince would introduce the attitude A move to an edgier and risqué product that ultimately defeated wcw once and for all with mcmann's feud vs Stonkolstein being one of the key ingredients that made fans switch over to This brings us back to when Alondra blaze was told her wwf contract wasn't going to be renewed It sparked an incredible chain reaction of events from Alondra showing up on nitro and throwing the wwf women's title In the trash to fire one of the first major shots at the wwf in the ratings war to the Wwf screwing brethor in fears of eric bischoff once again Sticking it to the company on tv as he did with medusa to the creation of the mr McMahon character as a result of screwing bret all the way to the austin vs McMahon feud that helped the ww Yeah, I don't know why he's doing that glitching stuff again. I'm sorry y'all. I do not know why It's doing that hold on. Let me uh, let me try to fix that real quick All right, I'm back, man. Hopefully it's fixed. Hopefully he's not doing that still. Let's get right back into this one This this is pretty good video Yeah, what's not trying to do that wf defeat and conquer wcw in the monday night wars jeff jerrit being owed money leads to the launch of tna Next we have another example of a wrestler nearly leaving the wwf while still one of the company's champions But to understand this case we first have to go back to 1998 and the start of 1999 When jeff jerrit felt he had been short-changed in terms of pay on multiple house show loops and pay-per-views As his pay had been disproportionate compared to the rest as he'd been working with at the time then towards the end of 1999 The wwf were unwilling to give jerry a raise on his current contract, which was set to expire I thought I was gonna get a big bump in pay. Why the hell he going rogue on these women, man I'll say that diplomatically and that just wasn't coming This meant jeff had leverage over the wwf since he was going into his final night with the company at no mercy As intercontinental champion made worse by the fact that jerry chose to sign with wcw the next day Comparisons can be drawn to our previous example with medusa and the women's championship And especially bret hart and the wwf championship as vince was once again put in an unenviable situation McMahon either had to pay up or risk the consequences head of talent relations jim ross believed $150,000 Was a suitable compromise between the wwf and jerry however jeff wanted that number doubled To make up for the money he lost when the company made him take a pay cut in 1998 Due to missing a large number of live events in 97 and 98 as a result of jeff staying home to take care of his wife who was recovering from cancer The wwf had no choice but to agree to jerry's terms or risk him not working the show Jeff didn't unpack his bags from his car until a deal was reached Once the two parties came to an agreement and jerry brought his stuff into the building It was the job of mark karano to follow jeff and the intercontinental title just in case jerry left with the bell On the paper, jeff defended the title against china That's crazy. There's like no you gotta follow him just to make sure he don't fucking leave Hey, and back then 300 k is probably maybe you know, maybe when inflation and stuff like that possibly maybe 500 k but let's do the math on it because I you know, that's what google's for Let's say 300 k in like the the mid 90s, you know what i'm saying just 300 000 we're gonna do this lie 90s Let's say i'm looking at it right now if it's like 1990. Let me do i'ma do 1995 or something like that Just do 1995 see what it says doing this rive Yeah, I was right 300 k and 95 would be Almost 600 000 dollars is actually Roughly around 594 000 dollars. So I was in that ballpark 500 000 That would be half a million with inflation today So I can understand him won 300 k back then a good housekeeping math Double j ended up losing meaning china was the new intercontinental champion The next night jerry appeared on wcw nitro attacking buff bagwell with a signature guitar shot Oh, wait a minute jerry was brought up on the next followed jeff and the intercontinental title Just in case jaret left with the bell on the pay-per-view jeff defended the title against china in a good housekeeping match Double j ended up losing me china was the new intercontinental champion. I forgot. Yeah, she's definitely what she did become the Intercontinental champion crazy cw nitro attacking buff bagwell with a signature guitar shot the next time jaret was brought up on wwf television was when vince vick man fired double j on the night of the raw nitro simulcast in 2001 after vince had bought Wcw the public firing was mcman's way of getting back at jaret for holding him for money two years prior There was no chance of jaret returning to the wwf who now had no competition following the acquisition of wcw Jaret instead started up a new promotion total non-stop action jaret used the money He received from holding up vince in 99 to partially fund tna The company emerged as a challenger brand to the wwe where we would see plenty of familiar faces tna Allows new up and coming talents to apply their trade and make a name for themselves all in all wwf's decision to shortchange jaret and then reduce his salary Ultimately had a much bigger impact than anyone would have thought jaret's decision to hold up the wwf for the pretty much helped create tna Kind of some of the same similarities to With codian the creation of aew money He was owed meant that there was no hope of the company bringing him back after wcw folded But from there jaret started his own promotion to slot in as the number two resting company in an example of one of resting's most Unique butterfly effects matt hardy's injury results in edges rise in late 2003 matt hardy made the jump to walk In order to be on the same brand Leta who had recently returned from injury over the next number of months The two appeared on television together featuring in a storyline with kane However, things began to stall for matt after he suffered a torn acl in the summer of 2004 This ruled him out indefinitely while leta continued her storyline with kane The injury alone will have already been a big blow for hardy But it would end up having much bigger implications as the months progressed to save herself from going on the road Alone leta began traveling with edge a good friend of hers and matt's Leta and edge gradually became closer and closer leading to the two having an affair that matt eventually found out about This caused trouble behind the scenes between the three that affected things at work And came to a head when matt hardy was released from his wwe contract on april 11 2005 This came after edge had his tire stash following the house show in the carolinas They thought that automatically either did it. I didn't the office I think that was the final straw and like saying that there was gonna be too much trouble One that I was gonna end up being released loud use of my chance to wrang out during it And it's just one of those things bro This is this was a real thing that they ultimately turned into a storyline that ultimately catapulted edge to the main event scene like Think about that my man's Got edge Got with his friends girl while they on the road while matt is hurt and Because of that they used this real life story this real life situation and it ultimately catapulted edge Because now he had become one of the biggest heels in the company. Everyone thought he was a piece of garbage That's crazy an in-ring segment involving leta You screw matt you screw matt leta would then become romantically involved with edge of television Which only added further fuel to the real-life fire while also enraging fans even more to the point Where the demand for hardy to come back couldn't be ignored This return came to fruition With matt returning to attack edge whilst being restrained by oh, this is so good Hardy edge and leta's real-life drama began to play out on screen With the infamous bite this interview that gave fans a peek behind the curtain Which put even more heat on leta and edge when I was out hurt you stupid bastard The one man coward what did you do you did everything you could do to get inside my girl's head And inside her pants the feud spawned a series of memory. Oh my god Our unforgiving Town ladder match on the raw homecoming show the ladder match acted as the culmination of the love triangle storyline But for edge this was only the beginning of his rice the top with leta by his side He became the rated r super star a character built on sex and violence But it wouldn't have been as effective without leta who added another dimension to edge's character If there was such a thing as a missing ingredient to edge's character I think it brought them both To the next level a missing piece that finally propelled him to the main event where he won the wwe championship for the first time in his career Edge and leta continued to feature in risque segments cementing themselves as one of the wwe's greatest ever couples And even after leta's retirement and the couple's real-life split edge remained a major player racking up more and more world titles Matt Hardy's injury in 2004 put a strain on he and leta's relationship that edge took advantage of Then when reality blurred into storyline edge embraced the heat becoming one of wwe's most hated heels along with leta A pairing that proved to be a key component in edge's rise to the main event And that's how you do it And I want to make a comparison here the real-life situation with seam punk and the evp's and The young bucks and adam page and kenny omega Use it Make a storyline out of it That's what makes some of the best wrestling stories the greatest if there's some truth behind it People buy into it use it I hear rumors. They're trying to split the roster now Uh to make another show For aw on saturday nights that seam punk can be a part of so they're gonna split the roster What are y'all doing? Do this use the the you ain't gotta be best friends But use that tension that real-life tension turn into a storyline make the company and everybody's some money It's the simplest thing bro My the fact that matt was in a real relationship with leta for all those years For edge his friend To stab him in the back And for him to legitimately Be able to still be a professional even though it probably wasn't like that But when he got hired back for him to be a professional and to watch his real life x beyond camera Tonguing down edge And to still have those matches and those feuds Come on bro Come on man. That's all i'm saying make it work aw Roman Reigns illness leads to a title unification and wrestlemania problem WWE's day one event in 2022 was to have two massive title encounters big e was WWE championship in a fatal four way while roman reigns would defend his universal championship versus brock lesnar However on the day of the event it was revealed that roman reigns had to pull out the show due to illness To counteract this the wwe instead added lesnar to the wwe title match making it a five way Lesnar would go on to win the match becoming the new wwe champion brock and roman was still to have their big match against one another Though and this took place in the main event of wrestlemania 38 given that both men went into the bow each holding a world championship Their clash was dubbed as winner take all meaning the victor on the night would be declared the undisputed wwe universal champion roman reigned earned this honor by defeating lesnar reigns would now defend both belts as one title It was reported that the titles were unified in order to allow reigns to appear on both raw and smacked down more often Reigns was now on both shows But his appearances on television as a whole became less and less frequent while his matches were almost exclusively saved for pay-per-view As this was happening. Cody rose had just returned to wwe to much fanfare Cody made it his mission to capture the wwe championship in order to succeed where his father failed Although a torn peck halted these plans back over on smackdown The bloodline storyline was heating up with sammy zane attempting to join the group This story was played out over several months getting better and better each week in no small part thanks to sammy It was just brilliant to see the slow burn of zane trying to become a member of the bloodline And then being made an honor reused So only to fail his final test because he didn't want to hurt his best friend sammy had been a great babyface in his first years in wwe But his work with the bloodline had taken him to the next level. Yeah, hasn't been Uzi very uzi This made his official face turn at the world rumble so much sweeter Oh my god, goose bumps Goose bumps fans were now clamoring to see zane receive a title shot against roman reyne And they wanted it to happen in the main event of wrestlemania The problem with this was that cody rose had made his triumphant return from injury by winning the 2023 mens royal rumble Meaning the american nightmare would be the one closing out wrestlemania to challenge roman great mania match Oh my god So this created an interesting situation fans were overjoyed to see cody return and absolutely wanted him to capture the world championship But the amazing story that had been told with roman reynes sammy zane and the bloodline Deserved to culminate in the main event of the grandest stage of them all This brings us back to reynes falling ill and missing the day one event We're a scheduled opponent on that show brock lesnar ended up winning the wwe championship setting up a unification bout at wrestlemania 38 Had the titles not been unified then it's very possible We could have seen roman reynes and sammy zane main event night one of wrestlemania for the universal title While cody rose could have closed out the other night challenging for the wwe championship We would have made sense for rose to challenge the wwe title holder Since cody made it clear in his first return promo back in 2022 that it was his mission to become wwe champion sammy zane got his singles match versus roman reynes at the elimination chamber pay-per-view sammy received the perfect hometown reception for the montille crowd Such a fantastic atmosphere Oh my god The zane ultimately came up short on the night sammy was in the right place at the wrong time And while he could still get his big win against roman down the line It won't be at wrestlemania be in a one-on-one match or a three-way as the wwe would be going ahead with their original plan For the wrestlemania main event with cody rose resting roman reynes in a singles match for the undisputed universal championship reynes illness set off the butterfly effect that led us to the point where romans eventually had two viable challenges for wrestlemania 39 But only one championship to defend and that brings us to the end of this video as always if you this was great Man go ahead give this a like i'm doing this gotta give this a like that was fantastic That was that was truly fantastic, man yo These are some of the great stories in wrestling that One thing happened a butterfly effect just Occurs and now you have a completely different scenario completely different outcomes completely different people and i think that's ultimately Fantastic, man.
