  1. WI: Cliff Burton lives

    Let's say Metallica's bus driver is able to avoid hitting the patch of black ice and Cliff Burton survives. Do Metallica still change their sound in the 90s and gain their commercial success?

  2. Comics WI: No X-Men revival in the 70s

    Let's say Marvel decides not to bring back the X-Men after all and it becomes a forgotten book, one of their rare 60s failures. How does this affect Marvel and future storylines (remember that all the characters up into the book going dormant are still around in the MU, and so is Woverine).

  3. 80s pop culture if Carter wins in 80, and Mondale wins in 84 and 88?

    Let's say that Jimmy Carter wins re-election in 1980, then Mondale wins in 1984 and again in 1988. How would pop culture be affected? One that may seem minor but would be a huge change may be that Carter doesnt de-regulate Children's Television, meaning a lot of the toy-based shows of the 80s...

  4. WI: No "score bug"?

    For those who dont know, the score bug is the graphic on screen during sporting events that displays the current score at all times (as opposed to when the team scores). What if this never caught on, would it have a major effect on sports or not?

  5. WI: Mick Foley died at King of the Ring 98?

    I was going to do a TL of this (I still might), but I thought that a What If thread might be better. What would happen if Mick Foley died in his Hell in the Cell match with the Undertaker (we'll say it was the bump where he fell from through the roof of the cell into the ring)? Would WWF even...

  6. Pop Culture with no Challenger Disaster?

    What if the Challenger disaster never happened, what would be the result for pop culture? I can see more "realistic" space-themed sci-fi taking the place of the more cosmic, star wars/star trek style space sci-fi.

  7. OT: No Angry Video Game Nerd

    Kind of piggybacking off of the No Channel Awesome thread, what if James Rolfe never made those reviews back in 2004? How is video game fandom and youtube content affected? We still had Seanbaby of course, but he was, ironically, more brash than AVGN (and I dont recall him making video versions...

  8. WI: Michael Jackson dies in 1984?

    I did this thread years earlier, but enough time has passed that I can do it again and get new responses. Lets say that the Pepsi commercial incident is more serious and leads to Michael dying soon after. What would be the effects on the music and entertainment industry? This comes after...

  9. AHC: President Frank Sinatra

    With a POD no later than 1984, how would you make Frank Sinatra POTUS?

  10. WI: Indiana Jones 4 made earlier?

    What do you think the reaction to Indiana Jones 4 would have been if it were made earlier, say sometime between 1995-2000?

  11. DBWI: President Bill Clinton?

    This may sound far-fetched, but what if the Jazz Saxophonist Bill Clinton decided to go into politics? Reportedly he did have an interest when he was younger, but the saxophone took over most of his time, which made Jazz fans happy.

  12. AHC/WI: President Dolly Parton

    How would you make Dolly Parton President of the US, and how would she do as POTUS?

  13. The comic industry without World War 2

    Lets say WW2 doesnt happen for a number of reasons (ie, Hitler dies in WW1 or something). How would the comic industry be changed? Would we still have patriotic characters like The Shield and Captain America? Would war comics be less popular? Would Crime and Horror overtake the popularity of...

  14. Owen Lives: a collaborative wrestling TL

    Decided to post my first TL, and I'm making it a collaborative one so some fans can join in too, though I'm mainly going to focus on the Owen Hart-related stuff. This TL is what would have happened if Owen Hart had lived. May 23, 1999: The afternoon of Over the Edge, Owen Hart comes to the...

  15. Reagan's children as presidential candidates?

    Was there ever any possibility of any of Ronald Reagan's children running for President? How successful could they potentially be? I know that some have very different political philosophies from their father.

  16. AHC: Make Archie comics the top comic company

    With a POD no later than 1975, make Archie comics the top comics company, outselling Marvel, DC, and others by a wide margin.

  17. WI: Vince McMahon goes to jail in 1994

    Lets say Vince is found guilty of steroid distribution and is put in jail in 1994, what would be the effects on pro wrestling as a whole?

  18. WI: The Super NES had backwards compatibility?

    What if the Super NES had a function (either in the hardware itself or via a converter) that allowed play of NES games on the system? Now granted, the SNES was already huge, but would this have prolonged the lifespan of the NES, or just caused it to die out sooner? One consequence is no Super...

  19. If certain tv shows aired on different networks

    If certain shows aired on other tv networks, what would be some significant changes (if any) to both the shows and the networks themselves. For example, what if ABC had picked up Norman Lear's 70s hits instead of CBS (and NBC in the case of Sanford and Son)?

  20. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    It's a somewhat known fact that Mel's original ideas for Blazing Saddles were to have Richard Pryor play Bart and have John Wayne play the Waco Kid. But Pryor was way into his drug addiction at this point, and Wayne, though he LOVED the script, was worried about how it would affect his...
