I'm not denying that the KOTR promo helped Austin. It definitely did. But it didn't immediately put him over the way the WM13 with Bret Hart did. Right after winning the KOTR in June, WWE didn't really do much with Austin until September or so when the seeds for the Bret Hart feud were planted. Unless my memory is incorrect.
I'm just saying that the increase in Austin's overness from the start of WM13 to end of WM13 was a lot higher than the start of KOTR to the end of KOTR.
