5 Huge 'What If' moments of the Attitude Era

What if the main event of WrestleMania 15 was different?

WrestleMania 15 is something of a mixed pay per view. Despite a historic main event, the first of three WrestleMania bouts between The Rock and Steve Austin, the pay per view fell flat, with an awkward Hell In A Cell match between the Undertaker and the Big Boss Man.

But the original main event was quite different from what the WWF fans got.

Originally, the main event was going to be a triple threat match, pitting WWF Champion The Rock, against 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, and Mankind. However, Shawn Michaels did not agree with the idea, arguing that the main event of a WrestleMania should be a singles match. Foley conceded and was relegated to a guest-referee role in the match, a role he won by beating the Big Show Paul Wight earlier that night.

Funnily enough, Shawn had not wanted Foley out. Instead, he wanted Austin out, which would have left the main event to the Rock n' Sock connection.

Also, how ironic that Michaels did not like the idea of the main event Triple threat match at Mania, yet he competed in one 5 years later at WrestleMania 20.
