If Owen Hart paralyzes Stone Cold in 1997 would the WWF still be in business?

They'd still be around although at the same size they were pre-AE. Bret vs HBK feud which included DX-Foundation and Canada-USA would have lasted at least another year. The WWE would eventually have found a new star due to all the youth they were pushing although doubt whoever became the new star would have the same mainstream appeal Austin had.

Doubt the Rock becomes as big as he did since his rise was from the Stone Cold feud and by association with the Vince-SC feud.

Don't think WCW would have lasted if the WWF went under considering they started to have serious money issues just a year later from all the bloated contracts and nWo being stale by late 1997.
