So, by your logic, (and my opinions of Hunter as a talent aside) if HHH died in a car wreck or something during his blueblood gimmick, it would be just as well, because he never would have amounted to anything in the wrestling business? How about if Eddie died even a year before his monumental victory? Would he have also been considered "good, but not WHC good"?

What's to say that something or someone wouldn't have changed their minds about the guy, be it Vince, Shawn, or even Owen himself? Shit changes. Remember when Cena was an "experiment"? Wasn't worth the time to make him legit until there was a talent vaccum that left them devoid of many staple, go-to draws. Now, you can't imagine the landscape without him. We don't, or can't know, what the future held for Owen. Hell, that Blue Blazer scam he and Jarrett were running might have been a catalyst for something greater for BOTH guys down the line.

Also, another thing to note, again, is how lax Owen's attitued allegedly was. Maybe he WAS looked at beforehand at being a possible top guy, and he was all "meh" about it- that carrying the company was too big a pain in the ass and would take away from the fun he was having. And maybe something in future might have changed that out of obligation, growth, or necessity.
