2 things:

1)I would've continued to have pushed Austin as a heel after Survivor Series 2001. I would've had him keep the title until Wrestlemania. Between SS and Wrestlemania, I would have had him get a victory over The Rock, and another top face.

2)I would've pushed Triple H a lot differently upon his return in 2002. Stephanie McMahon would have NOT appeared on TV alongside Hunter (since she was a heel who was associated with Triple H [who was WAY over with the fans], the fans started not cheering as loudly for Triple H.......since Stephanie kept "bragging" to the fans about how Triple H was the best, etc. It kind of divided the fans against Triple H.

3)I wouldn't have had Triple H job to Angle at the February PPV. Triple H should have gone over.

4)Triple H (face) vs. Austin (heel) then could've been the main-event at Wrestlemania 18 (where Triple H would have gone over to become the newest and biggest face mega star in the company). The problem with what ACTUALLY happened, was that Jericho was not pushed properly during his title run. He was made to look like a weak transitional champ. The real feud ended up looking like Triple H vs. Stephanie. In the end, the fans didn't really care about the main-event........since it was the equivalent of 'cuddling after sex' in light of the prior Rock/Hogan match. The fans would have still been interested had it been Steve Austin........since he was an established star.

Triple H going over Jericho did nothing for him........since he was expected to win. Triple H going clean over Austin would've meant something.


Lastly - I think it was stupid for the WWE to pit Triple H against Hulk Hogan a month later (and JOB the friggin title). That ruined Triple H's credibility as a face. Triple H then also jobbed to Taker.

Basically - the WWE did many things wrong with Triple H's face run. Based on the huge pops he was getting when he came back in January 2002, Triple H could've been just as huge as The Rock and Austin (as a face) in my opinion.
