Well he was their groomed top guy. They knew Austin and Rock were gone, and HHH and Shawn were great but weren't going to be the big draws. So they made Brock their top guy.
In less than one year, they made him KOTR, had him go over all their midcard, Hogan, Rock for the title, Taker, win the rumble, and beat Angle in the Wrestlemania Main Event.
Thats the biggest push ever.
Then when he up and left there was a scramble to find the next, next big thing. Thats why Orton got pushed too fast, and Cena got pushed too hard once he finally got the title. We got sick of Cenas antics, and Orton is a waste to us now. Brock, no matter what you say about him, was cut and dry. His schtick wouldn't get bland. He was all business and was over and could certainly get it done in the ring. He had some great matches, and experience would only have made him better.
Plus they never cashed in on fueds that would have been huge in getting him over, like Benoit, Jericho, a continued fued with Eddie, a fued with deadman Taker, and what would have been an amazing fued with HBK. And of course the inevitable dream match between him and HHH since they were the two top champs at the time.
Shit, even matches against Foley and Austin wouldn't have been out of the cards.
