Oh how different the world of professional wrestling could have been. The art of decision making is a lot more intense than many people may think - every single person on this planet makes literally thousands of decisions every day, from tiny choices that don't really matter, to more important selections which shape the entire world around you. It's been theorised that for every decision made, there's an alternate universe playing out where the other direction was taken, which is a truly deep and thought-provoking idea. In essence, such a theory may be far too expansive for an article looking at decisions made in the world of wrestling, but fans often enjoy wondering what might have been had things panned out a different way entirely. After all, isn't that the beauty of decision making? It's almost a gamble, because there are consequences waiting on either side, and not all of them can always be good. Life, just like pro wrestling, is an adventure of sorts, and the grappling bubble has been witness to several choices that have changed the game incredibly. That's what this article is all about, decisions that helped change the course of wrestling history. There are many more than those contained here, for sure, but the ones listed are largely considered some of the most important.
