Can you imagine the crowd going nuts and Jim Ross having an "out of body experience" during his match with Taker and it being so good that it closes out the end of the show the next year as Bret's retirement match?

All those situations just seem like they'd be less "major" with Bret in Shawn's shoes. The matches could be close from a purely technical standpoint (though I don't think Bret had the same ability to pull a great match out of ANYONE that Shawn did) but the emotional investment would take a dip because Bret wasn't the same performer. Shawn's ability to get people emotionally invested was off the charts.
Seriously. The fact that you could read this post and respond with "HE'S TRYING TO TELL EVERYONE THEY'RE WRONG" makes it seem like you're trying to turn every little thing into a fight. It's been a running theme lately.

Either that or you should be getting pissed at every post you read here because that post was about as innocuous as it gets. I even made it a point to add "It seems" and "I think/don't think"s for people like you and it STILL sent you over the edge. My God. lol
