He's a Triple H fantasy, intense heel with a BDSM goth metal "how cool was that?" entrance with a bimbo valet and old school manager from the territory days.
Idk what the frick H is doing with this guy. He killed him initially by immediately feeding him to Drew and then he acts as if he's going to keep trying with him but then jobs him out again. Tony Khan levels of booking
Not really. Vince made some mistakes along the way. Most infamously, he pushed Bret out in favor of Shawn, and Shawn ended up retiring a few months later and was paid a shit load of money to sit out the entire rest of the Attitude Era. Shawn was a premadonna that wouldn't put guys over that weren't his buddies unless threatened. Bret could have stuck around and been a solid heel to build up other talents and mentor newer signees. He was dependable, unlike Shawn. As for Shawn, had he gone to WCW as he wanted, he would have been a locker room cancer and accelerated the collapse of WCW. It would have been a win/win for Vince and the WWF. But Shawn was Vince's boy toy and Vince was clouded by gay lust. Sad.
Adding to this, WrestleMania 14 would still work as the crowning moment for Steve Austin.
1) The big draw was Mike Tyson and what he might do during the match. It wasn't Shawn. So Shawn not being there would not have hurt the drawing power at all.
2) Austin and Bret always had excellent chemistry together, and would have put on the better match. Bret was healthy too, while Shawn was working injured. And Shawn didn't even want to do the job but had to be threatened by Taker.
3) Following Austin's loss to Bret at WrestleMania 13, Bret formed the Hart Foundation shortly afterward and they were the centerpiece of 1997 WWF for most of the year. It would have made better sense as a storyline to pay it off with Austin finally getting his big win over Bret Hart, and winning the WWF championship, at WrestleMania 14, a full year after his famous, generational match with Bret.
Shawn could still have his WWF comeback after the close of WCW, which is when it occurred anyway. And bonus, Bret would still be available because he wouldn't have gotten the concussion that ended his career. We could have had a Bret/Shawn rematch in like 2003.

Where's the lie though? I'm not a fan of Dave Meltzer. Quite the opposite. I'm just an old head wrestling fan that enjoys speculative reimagining of wrestling history. I play a lot of TEW as you could probably guess.

Nah, I'm a different guy. I just started using that term because I heard him say it. I kinda like it. Sounds better than old school. I suppose I could just say classic?
Nobody is going to get over with Paul's snail pace booking. It's been a year and LA Knight still has no title, Jey lost to Dimeless Priest and Chad Gable is stuck jobbing to Sami.
I think the problem is WWE's roster is actually too stacked at this point. I was surprised to find out its been 6 years since AJ last won the WWE title and he only won it twice. WWE right now is packed with factions and there are way too many guys that can main event or at least challenge for the titles. Karrion Kross just doesn't stand out enough. And his tag team AOP never stood out. People never cared about this team.
nah he wasn't
Got no pop during the draft
>why didn't the heel that never wins get a pop
Dumbass

so why doesn't HHH let him win a single feud lmao
Kross is based and the troony homosexual who posts this shit will eventually job out with the rest of the 40%

Vince is always right

I like Kross
>heel stable with a bunch of big guys
>keeping jobbing
I don't get it. They should be murdering nearly everyone but the top guys.
>everyone but the top guys.
therein lies the problem
the "top guys" are dimeless shitter midgets
Kross is trash. Only the dumbest shit eating morons like this shitter.
Bookers always have "their guy" that they try and try to make a thing.
Can't cut a promo, bad in ring
You need to have at least one good skill
I want what they have with someone bros
He has potential
