| What would've WWE been like if Bret Hart never left?
It's an interesting thought I had the other day. What if Bret just stayed with WWE?
Certainly seeing Austin defeat Bret Hart for the World Title would've been much more impressive than seeing him defeat HBK.
Though, would've Bret jobbed to Austin? Further, would've he put him over completely? Meaning, Bret might give Austin a World Title victory over him but would he allow Austin to be the top dog or would he strip him of it shortly thereafter?
I think that Bret would've eventually put Austin over. I imagine that somewhere down the line Bret Hart would've re-won the title from Austin. There could've been some great matches, as all the actual Bret Vs. Austin matches were classic.
Another question comes into play, would've Austin had a feud with Vince McMahon? That feud was mostly centered on what had happened behind the scenes with Bret. If that situation never occured I doubt we would've seen the feud at all.
To me, that would've been a good thing. The feud was dragged out way too long and could've easily been done in another fashion. Secondly, I think Austin would've helped the company become popular regardless of what storyline he was in.
Would've WWE became worse, better, or the same with Bret?
What changes would've we seen? |
