The first thing I notice when going over the WWF's roster at the beginning of 1993 is just how weak it is. The company pin-balled the WWF Championship around more than Ric Flair pin-balled around in his personal life. To make matters worse, Flair was on the way out. How much can one change history here? It'd be lovely to poach Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard to put together some sort of Horseman unit in order to give Bret Hart a test as WWF Champion, but that's the easy way out, isn't it?

This doesn't feel strong enough, but for some reason, the idea of Mr. Perfect winning the Royal Rumble and becoming the challenger for Bret Hart seems like one of the more easily identifiable fixes. Curt Hennig could go in the ring (not sure if he had found his grove back at this point, or if he'd ever become what he once was), but the history between Hart and Perfect could have been used to play up some distrust issues. Hennig would be all smiling and "I know you're the man," but underneath it all would be Bret Hart knowing that Mr. Perfect is still seething about the SummerSlam '91 loss that sent him into retirement.

Flair could give the Rumble a good run, like the year previous, but end up being eliminated by Mr. Perfect towards the end, building off the legendary match the year before.
