Bill Simmons is an unathletic little p*ssy and tries so hard to be relevant and cool it's embarrassing.

If Bill wants to be Evolution'd up, he has to turn heel and leave Boston, denouncing all Sports because of Cena connections.
He has to move south of the Connecticut Blueblood line.

WWF turned around because of the USA vs Canada fued. Stone Cold taking off moved along because of the fued. Him being a main eventer in the first place, was because of Bret Hart. He was on top for 5 years, he wouldn't have been ever forgotten. He was a bigger star than Sting and people want him in WWE today

Keepin' it 100
The bold is 100% truth. Between his column and the NBA show, he tries too hard to relate to people half his age.

That stupid "market correction" theory is pure horseshyt (Simmons coming up with a horseshyt theory? Who would've guessed...). The reason that Perfect didn't end up on top was because he was given a chance (far before Bret was, in fact) and bombed horribly on a house show loop against Hogan. Add in the injuries and the main event just wasn't going to happen for Hennig.
Like it or not, Bret was the most over guy for the WWF during his era (1992-1996 or 1997). He was the guy who drew the most on top, who got the biggest reactions, and who deserved to carry the belt. These aren't the opinions of some know nothing, these can be backed up by any number of and any types of sources from that time period. To say that he kept Hennig from doing something he got the chance to do three years before Bret did is preposterous, especially when he 1. Failed business-wise in that opportunity and 2. Had injuries that would have precluded him from getting another opportunity anyway. They were never in any type of competition and the fact that Simmons thinks that they were speaks to the paucity of his knowledge regarding wrestling (...is this why some in The Coliseum get so mad at him?).
Don't get me started on the "sold out for more money" allegation. Breach of contract means nothing to him, I suppose.
And if I were Bret, I wouldn't have gotten along with Shawn Michaels in 1997 either. As a matter of fact, a number of Michaels' own fans on this board probably would have hated him in 1997. But I suppose that schadenfreude is a powerful concept...
