What if Stone Cold had tapped rather than pass out?

WCW woulda won the Monday Night Wars, and Vinnie woulda been buried deep down the ground with his company
Based vince would have buried another smark favourite and someone like sid or rocky maivia would be face of the company. Based WWF would still have won the war due to more emphasis on mastodons.
Smarks btfo also stevetty the smark panderer wouldn't have killed wrestling at wm17. Wrestling would still be mainstream today.

>underage smark thinks smarks back then liked based steve
Faggot smarks hated austin and the rock. If they had had their way, the champion would have been malenko or benoit
Would have honestly killed the Stone Cold character.

Stone Cold has been the most normie friendly wrestler of all time
He would've had a longer career, they never would've pushed him into the IC title match with Owen and wouldn't have broken his neck. He would've been the major heel of the company as well.
Why did Bret never let Stone Cold beat him clean once
>>2615562
Ego. Bret hated putting people over
Which wrestlers escaped Bret Hart's Sharpshooter?
I know the Undertaker broke it at least once. I think Shawn Michaels has made it to the rope to break it.
Owen?
Diesel?

This. Smarks have ALWAYS found a reason to bitch about something. Even when the literal GOAT was champ they were bitching.
>>2615572
Bulldog and Shamrock escpaed the sharkshooter
>>2615351
Best part of the match was when Stone Cold knocked Hart over the barricade and Hart fell and kicked a black guy in the balls

>smarks hated austin and rock
literally untrue, they hated Rocky Maivia and got him to turn heel and become the rock.
Stone cold was a smark favourite from his ECW days and Smarks cheered him way before Vince gave him the belt. Smarks only started disliking him when he was boring in 2000 and even Austin understood this hence why he turned himself heel.

>you have to win matches to put people over
Do you really think people would remember Austin simply beating Hart, better than they remember a tough SOB almost breaking an unbreakable submission hold then choosing to pass out in a pool of his own blood rather than submitting?
Austin's bloody face while locked in the Sharpshooter was an iconic moment for a reason. Anyone who can't see that was Austin being put over, just doesn't understand how pro wrestling works.

Yet he was still outpopping the Rock in every promo during the build up to WM X-7

I have seen people say with 100% seriousness back in the day that Taka Minchinoku should have been heavyweight champ back in the day.
>>2615351
He still would have been seen as a hero. People were already booing Bret due to his whining about everthiung.
Billionaire Ted would be on top
>>2615432
Even when he one all those WON awards back in the day and when Meltzer was constantly singing his praises?
>>2616560
going to need some proof for that particular allegation, anon
>>2616560
Not that he should have been, but if the champion was determined based on technical ability, rather than other shit like appearance and mic skills, then he would have been.
