So, why in the world would Vince book Steve Austin to job to Brock with no build on Raw?

I guess maybe this foreshadowed what become a mainstay booking style that kind of ruined WWE.


Even... It doesn't make any damn sense. The King of the Ring 2002 card was dreadful. That would of been headline with HHH vs. Undertaker W/ Rock & Austin vs. Flair & Hogan vs Angle!?

I guess a large reason for that is they couldn't get Hogan vs. Flair.

Flair vs. Eddie was a solid gem that came out of some weird circumstances.

Even then... Why wasn't Brock vs. Austin looked as a headlining match up within the KOTR tournament.

This shyt still makes no sense to me.

Brock vs. Chris Jericho
Austin vs. RVD
Brock vs Austin

Probably be the GOAT KOTR tournament if Vince had some damn patience.

Like whyyyyyyyy...

It would have been perfect to have Brock beat Austin at KOR then beat Rock at Summerslam. Really position him as the next big thing by having him take out the two top stars in two main events in a row.

Even this I don't agree with.

Brock vs Austin should have been THE Match. Even wait til WM if they had to (obv they didn't know of how bad Austin's injuries were getting).

Austin was the most dominant superstar of that era. You build Brock up to finally take on Bowser (Austin) as THE moment of Brock's career, not Rock, not Hogan...Austin. That should have been a slow build but WWE's creative was obviously not good during this period.

Combination of Cokeboy Hubris not feeling any pressure after beating WCW + getting back at Austin for being difficult and shooting down all the other shytty ideas creative was throwing at him during that time.

Yeah, it was basically a move to play Austin due to his criticism of the writing, and also Austin walking out after Mania a couple of months prior... the fact they were even gonna have Austin in a KOTR Qualifying Match was weird at the time.

Also, they were throwing away big PPV-level matches on TV every week back then. There's a lot of stuff they did on the weekly TV shows that they could have saved for a PPV, which in a way spoiled the audience and has made them harder to impress over the years. Even the way they did Hogan vs Brock unannounced on an ep of Smackdown shows that they were just giving big shyt away for free.

Still blows my mind they put Rock vs Flair on a random Raw with nothing but a Rock promo right before the match.
