10 Days That Almost Ended WWE’s Reign

The wrestling world was almost a very different place...

At the start of each week when Monday night rolls around, after being exhausted from a hard day at our jobs and classes, we plop down in front of the television to unwind. If you€™re reading this article, there€™s a good chance that your TV dial would be set on the USA Network come 8:00 PM for €œthe longest running weekly episodic television show in history.€ But what if that wasn€™t an option? If we lived in a world where the WWE €“ and by extension the business of professional wrestling as we know it €“ no longer existed? No Monday Night Wars, no WrestleMania moments being made inside monolithic stadiums, nothing. Except TNA. TNA will somehow never die; clinging to life long after the rest of humanity has ceased to exist. The WWE isn€™t always the most compelling or well-written TV - and the downward trend in the ratings suggest that the audience is falling off in droves - but it€™s still wrestling and we€™re still wrestling fans. What would we do with those precious three hours if WWE didn€™t exist? Thankfully we don€™t have to answer that question. But we could have, if several things would have turned out slightly different. Let€™s take a look at some of those moments now.
