Idk about that breh, all accounts say everyone in the WWF at that time knew Austin was the next nikka up. Cokeboy was hitching the company wagon to SCSA and it wouldn’t have mattered what a healthy HBK wanted. Mr. MackMan would’ve gotten that belt off HBK by either giving him that Bret energy back or Taped Fist Taker making Shawn do business at WM 14 (and beating the hell out of Patterson in Gorilla before )8.
For the same reasons @Golayitdown said.
Excellent wrestler. Terrible draw. I just finished watching WWF 96 and he is a terrible face. Plus if he didn't have back problems in early 98 he probably wouldn't have dropped the WWF title to Austin.
I love HBGOAT, but what was he gonna do? Go to WCW and get fed to Hoegan to placate Terry’s ego?
