Heel Austin was Based AF. Invasion storyline was the problem.

This.

Nah, Austin was a tremendous performer but it just didn't sit well from the start and it was just too much of a stretch.

Yes. WM X-7 was the true end of the Attitude Era and the Monday Night Wars. The Ego era begins here...

<<<this is the culmination of what has happened as a result of the last 16 years.

he coulda just stunnered him after vince helped him win the title

the crazy austin vinces bitch stuff was terrible

WWE were always imitators, not innovators.

They thought because copying Hogan's heel turn worked with Rock, it would work with anyone. But it has to have a reason and an end game. Too many stupid people work in the industry. Bunch of carny fucks.

Steve said if he could go back in time that's exactly what he would have done

beating up Dwayne never made him a heel, but shaking Vince's hand did

That was the last time I watched wrestling until like 2015. One day my brother gave me his login for the network and I got back in the habit.

Austin sucks. He had an impact on the rise of WWF but less of an impact on its decline. Nobody cared about him by 2002.

I'll give you that. He was done by late 01-2002.

Fact is that Triple H was the going to be the next face of the company and Austin just needed to accept it. Instead he threw a bitchfit because Hunter got such a massive reaction in New York.

I mean, this literally happened 6 days before the OP. It was a combination of both happening that killed wrestling.

Austin couldn't come to terms that he wasn't built to last. They couldn't keep him at the top anymore. He was an injured mess.

Like yeah, you're the biggest seller and all and everyone loves you but what good is it if you can't wrestle every week because you'll fall apart and need months to recover?
