Also Austin was an awesome heel, but it wasn't right to turn him him heel. Fans identified with him too much as a face and felt turned on and beaten, and thus stopped watching. Some say it was the beginning of the end of that really hot period b/w 98-2001 (well mid 2001)

I agree with this completely. The initial shock factor was amazing, and Austin played the part well. It really did make sense that he would do anything and everything to be the WWE Champion. I personally know some people who stopped watching, though, because they felt betrayed by Austin.

What they really needed to do was have a new hot babyface step up right away to challenge Austin. The Undertaker, Kane, Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit were all suitable filler opponents for Austin, don't get me wrong; but they just don't have the weight of some other names in the business. Triple H, for example, would have made perfect sense. Or bringing in Booker T with some credibility.
