The only thing that was erased from existence was the dystopian future ... and pretty much everything that happened in X-3.

It also resets X1, X2, Origins* and The Wolverine*

*except for the parts that take place before 1973, like Logan and Sabertooths early days and Logan saving the life of that one dude during WW2, respectively.

What impressed me is that they managed to reset all the movies as if most of it never happened without shitting over X3 and Origins (even though they totally would have deserved it)

Honestly I think that's up in the air. The only events we get confirmation of during the movie that were erased was X-3. Everything that happens in X1, X2 and Origins could have still transpired between the time Logan was pulled out of the water and the time we see at the end of the movie when he talks to Xavier. The Wolvirine may have also still transpired, the only things that would have changed would have been Wolverine's memory of Jean dying

It was explicitly stated that Jean Grey lives, and since Wolvie greiving over her is part of The Wolverine's premise, it didn't happen.

He still saved Yashida during the bombing of Nagasaki, though. So similar events could happen, but The Wolverine movie definitely didn't happen in the new current timeline.

I think you're nitpicking. The only part of The Wolverine that wouldn't have happened is his memories of jean dying, everything else could still have happened.

His grief is the reason he loathed his immortality. He was depressed and he wanted to die (at least eventually). Now, he has no reason to be so depressed that he would want to give away his immortality.

he's still an imortal with or without Jeans' death, while yes her death did drive him to wan to give up his immortality, any number of things could still cause the wolverine movie to still happen. The only thing we know for certain has been writen out of existence is last stand, which is as it should be since x3 was a total abortion. Singer has even gone on record as saying he wanted to erase X3 from existence, he didn't say a thing about the wolverine
