The thought that came to mind was "as soon as someone proves that wrong they are going to use it to try and discredit everything he said in a 'if he was wrong about that, what else was he wrong about?' kind of way."

The science behind it is rather later than 1851, but it is possible to tell (at least to some degree) someone's race from their skeleton isn't it?

IIRC he got pretty close a few times.

And in relation to something called "the Sunrise War", which is a suitably ominous name.

Nice :D /filler.

Not bad, I agree that England would probably have struggled to beat Bulgaria though.

Maybe not in the past, but I don't know so much now days.

The most obvious recent incident was when David Cameron shouted "Calm down dear!" at Angela Eagle at PMQs a bit back. I think if instead of that he'd said something that could have been construed as homophobic then Bercow probably wouldn't have had much choice but to name him. As to what would...

I can't think of a specific POD, but having some kind of scandal hit the NHL at the time when the WHA is at it's strongest. An obvious example would be to have someone get involved in match fixing or something.

This. By some distance.

Indeed. I could imagine him becoming a recluse for a few years, perhaps playing tiny, secret, acoustic shows here and there. I also like the idea of him releasing an album of blues covers at some point.

It would make sense as a choice, but it comes back to the same question as with Powell, would she want it?

Would Powell even want the job though? The "obvious" choice would seem to be Hilary Clinton, especially if it were to happen pre-2012. Another interesting one is who Cheney would pick if Bush was assassinated c. 2005.

Kane is the only other one that comes to mind there, and has obvious history with Taker.

Only thing I know about this is that a friend of mine would have creamed her pants if that happened :D She's a huge fan of The Shield and hated that Lesnar ended the streak.

Agreed, without Beyonce there might be more chance for her solo career to get going.

There would certainly be some effects outside music. As has been said, with her dying in 2001 it probably butterflys away Rhianna's career, which then has effects for, among other people, Eminem and Chris Brown.

WCW was really badly managed, financially, so I think even without the Monday Night Wars it would have imploded eventually anyway. And WCW had Vince Russo writing for them, which is not a good way of getting good storylines.

I'm tempted to agree. Without the huge falling out that Owen's death caused between the Hart family and Vince MacMahon though, I can see them coming back sooner than Bret did in OTL (as part of a slightly different Invasion storyline maybe?)

The very obvious wrestling PoD is Owen Hart surviving.
