He-man, did you mention Angle in the first post? Angle definitely could have been THE man. They feuded over Stephanie's affection or something, right?

In regards to RVD, I don't think the WWE wanted their top guy to be known as someone that was pro-weed and what have you (although I concede the fact that it's quite hypocritical when guys like Hogan back in the day were 'franchise guys' and were avid roid monkeys).
RVD was way over when he first came here, but he was a fairly sloppy worker.......and did have a questionable character I guess.
As far as Kurt Angle goes, The Angle-HHH-Steph storyline actually did get Angle over big time, but I don't think the WWE felt comfortable in having Hunter converting into a face for the long term at the time............since Hunter was such a tremendous heel at the time. If you had HHH go face, he would've been behind Austin and The Rock.
As far as Kurt Angle goes - I actually think he could've been HUGE had the WWE kept him as a tweener throughout his career. The downfall of Kurt Angle, is that he was so awesome at being a heel, that the WWE always tried to then turn him face and would always tinker with his character too much as a face.
Angle as a tweener could've been a 'Franchise Guy'.........Triple H supported or not.
