I often think about how good it would’ve been to have HBK active through 1998, too. He got injured at his peak, not just in terms of performance but also as a character. It would’ve been interesting to see what they’d have done with him if he hadn’t gotten injured. Although he came back in 2002 he still missed the best years of the Attitude Era which he was at the forefront of since the last quarter of ‘97.

In a way the Attitude Era was probably better without Shawn in the ring causing shit backstage,politics ,drugs ,drinking and he was probably better off without it to

@Rodney Depp Agree he was the most petty of petty backstage in that time. Had he stayed Austin would have been less iconic and the Rock may have never happened. Heck even HHH may not have ascended to top heel status if Shawn was there.

Yeah HBK was tailor-made for the Attitude Era and would have fit it perfectly. Only question is would his presence get in the way of HHH development. HBK was such a strong character that he overshadowed HHH and made him come off like a side-kick. With HBK gone HHH was really able to come into his own and shine.

I agree it was better without Shawn. Never been a fan and in my opinion, there was far better talent that pushed the Attitude Era to where it ultimately ended up going.

He had ability, but they never did anything interesting with his character. And in a time when they moved into the attitude promos, Shamrocks underwritten stuff came across too cartoonish. I liked Shamrock before he even went to wwf, i feel his potential was wasted. Look at how big Rousey and Brock blew up.

1:17:32 I think the idea to bring back the NWA into WWF in the late 90s didnt get a lot of good reacations, as at the time a lot of the audiance was more into harcore matches, crazy DX promos, bad ass Ausitn and Rock etc, than bringing back the traditional old school wrestling that the NWA angle tried to do.

@1:10:23 It died because those guys all looked like they died in the 80s. They weren't cool, I can still rewatch it and feel how jarring the NWA guys look for the late 90s. Those of us who lived it know why Jim Cornette is full of shit, it WAS tested back then. He can come up with whatever lies he wants but to put it into perspective someone as lame as ICP was able to get over faster than any of those has beens of the NWA.
