But I wouldn't include Austin, because that's ridiculous. Just like including Hunter.
Austin's potential was fully maximized. Hunter's was not.

The WWE capitalized on Austin's momentum. They capitalized on The Rock's momentum. The WWE did *not* capitalize on Triple H's momentum, Angle's momentum, Orton's momentum, RVD's momentum, Jericho's momentum, etc.

I am not debating whether these guys became big stars. Of course they did. I am just arguing that their potential was not maximized.....and that they could have, and should have, been SIGNIFICANTLY bigger.
