Can you imagine the crowd going nuts and Jim Ross having an "out of body experience" during his match with Taker and it being so good that it closes out the end of the show the next year as Bret's retirement match?

All those situations just seem like they'd be less "major" with Bret in Shawn's shoes. The matches could be close from a purely technical standpoint (though I don't think Bret had the same ability to pull a great match out of ANYONE that Shawn did) but the emotional investment would take a dip because Bret wasn't the same performer. Shawn's ability to get people emotionally invested was off the charts.
This is an irrelevant point. It never happened so you can't really make these assumptions. They are utterly baseless.
