History YMMV / AmericanAlpha

* AssPull: While Wrestling/KurtAngle has said ever since Wrestling/JasonJordan and Chad Gable teamed up that he wanted to work with Jordan and/or Gable in WWE and many fans were in agreement with the idea, almost ''nobody'' would've called that the "mystery scandal" storyline on ''Raw'' involving Angle, his phone, and Wrestling/CoreyGraves revealing Jordan to be Angle's {{kayfabe}} son would've been how that came to be.

* OlderThanTheyThink: A lot of people think that Chad Gable started his pro wrestling career in 2012 after he competed in the London Olympics that same year. He actually started in 2003 when he was 17 years old.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Of the two, Chad Gable is by far the more popular one, due to his incredible wrestling skill that fans compare to Kurt Angle and [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]], and his amazing, often [[LargeHam hammy]] mic work. This continued for many years after Jason Jordan's forced retirement, despite leadership's persistent inability to see past his lack of height and size.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To Wrestling/TheWorldsGreatestTagTeam. Curiously, Shelton was Chad Gable's next tag team partner after American Alpha disbanded.

** [[spoiler:My black son.]][[note]]The early summer 2017 mystery storyline involving a potentially "career-ruining" secret for ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]'' [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure General Manager]] Wrestling/KurtAngle turned out to be a college fling that produced Jordan. Given that race is the main thing separating Angle and Jordan's looks and almost ''everybody'' expected an affair storyline instead, references to the original ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' gag instantly exploded, including one in the first ''Website/{{Botchamania}}'' released after the reveal.[[/note]]
** [[spoiler:Kurt Angle went [[JustForPun Raw]] on Jason Jordan's momma.]][[note]]A less-PG version of the above. Within 12 hours of the illegitimate son reveal, Jordan's Wikipedia page has been repeatedly vandalized with either Angle's name being added to Jordan's ring name or the obvious unprotected sex "Raw" pun, forcing the page to be protected.[[/note]]
