he would have won the fight, then disappeared before he could teach the kids the fusion dance. then buu would have destroyed the world

even when you win, you still lose with ss3

Whis rewound time right before Beerus did his thing. I imagine that doing things differently from how they played out pre-winding caused a timeline split.

The Grand Priest spends his time carefully controlling two all powerful immortal children and has personally trained all his kids to manage cosmically destructive egomaniacs and train THEM.

He'd know if Goku threw the fight because understanding powerful people is literally his job.

If Bergamo could convince Zen'o of not destroying everything if he won, then Zen-chan's best friend Son Goku could do it as well.

Instead he remained silent, grinned evilly (and that was one hell of an evil grin), and decided to taunt literally everyone because fighting is the most important thing for universal genocidal monster Son Goku.

No, Beerus and Whis warned him against telling Zen'o to cancel the tournament, which Goku wouldn't have done anyways because he's Goku. He could've easily taken the same path as Bergamo, and he would've been successful at that, because Present Zen-chan genuinely likes him and has the mentality of a child, while Future Zen-chan is interested in him and fights in general.

I'm pretty sure all of this will end with Goku convincing the Zen'os that fighting is super cool and so they should bring everyone back so they can keep getting cool fights, but still, he could've saved everyone the heart attacks. He of all people should know how those feel!

Deal with it.
If Goku wins and doesn't wish back all the universes it will just be more evidence of his horrible evil. If he does wish back all the universes then the show won't have any consequences or tension. drat.

But stopping Freeza from blowing up Earth didn't create a time split? Like, don't all the extra time rings line up with how many different timelines Trunks created?

Trunks and Cell created a whole bunch of new timelines. I'm sure I've seen diagrams trying to map it all out.

There are 7 time lines total. There is a future where Zamasu died (current) and a future where Zamasu didn't die (original), and a future where no one knew anything (Black)

Again, time travel and timelines in DBS are confusing and pretty messy

I think that was just a fan theory going around when Beerus insisted he could totally destroy people across timelines, when the simple answer is that he doesn't know poo poo and Trunks himself is more of an authority on time travel shenanigans, as Beerus himself later admits. The future Trunks is returning to at the end also still had a Zamasu they had to deal with, and he didn't have any time ring powers at that point.

No actually they stated it in the loving show. They ask Goku Black why he's still around and he says "time ring idiots"

Yeah Goku Black is a result of the time ring. I'm not kidding when I say Time travel in this show is hosed up. again, Goku Black's mere existence is a hosed up loop that relies on Future Trunks coming back in time to escape from Goku Black that drags him to the past that creates the visit to Zamasu/Gowasu that creates Goku Black via the use of the time ring.

Goku Black's existence is the result of Goku Black's existence, which is the result of Goku Black's existence!

It's implied all these timelines already exist by (I think) Black who stated he traveled endless realities searching for the right one.

The Android Saga is dependent on Trunks already having succeeded. Funny loops are par for the course.
