How far do you think he could've went?

Would he have been fueding with Austin? Seems they wanted to push him heavy as the whole Brawl for All tournament seemed set up to establish Williams as a legit tough guy, and JR was behind him.

I always thought he had a cool look and was disappointed it didn't work out. Even as a midcard enforcer for the corporation or ministry could've worked well.

He probably would've been what eventually became Bossman's role, the enforcer of the Corporation or something to that effect... could've gotten a PPV match or two out of it, probably would've gotten a couple good beatdowns in on Austin, with him being the guy known for beatin' the sh*t out of everybody. But Bart stopped all that :damn:

I think he would have had a decent run, probably ended up in the mid card fueding with Marc Mero or something. I do wish he would have done more in the E but I'm not sure he was ever really going to get this massive push as the urban myth goes

Fun fact, I heard his action figure is literally the worst selling wrestling figure of all-time. I remember that sh1t sitting on the shelves for like 2 years after it came out

Didn't they feed Bart to Butterbean because he "wasn't supposed to win"? :heh::snoop:
Yep. In Bob Holly's book he talks about how pissed the office was, namely JR, and so they booked him against Butterbean. he went on to say how fukking stupid he thought the office was and how they missed a golden opportunity to push Bart Gunn. And how if they really wanted to use that to push Dr. Death they should've informed the other guys and made the whole tourney a work.

was it me or did that Brawl for All just pop up outta nowhere. Like they didn't announce it a week beforehand as a new thing or nothing. Just started on RAW randomly one night. :heh::mjlol:

Far as Dr. Death, wasn't he pretty much past his prime at that point? I mean I remember when I was a kid he was possibly as his peak. So by that point he wasn't going to be main eventing. Unless JR just really got in Vince's ear.

they also paid him the prize money before it took place so they ended up paying double :mjlol:
