Bret would have been saddled with people like Kevin Nash, Sting, Flair, Goldberg and Scott Steiner. He probably could have gotten some good programs out of Booker T, Jeff Jarrett, Lance Storm and DDP, but it wouldn't have been in a storyline or feud that could have saved WCW. And Bret vs Hogan? The match would certainly have sucked, no matter how hard Bret would have tried to make it interesting.

I still think the WCW product was still very good when Hart had to retire as an active star in Jan 2000. I did like the Hulk Hogan Vs Kevin Nash at Road Wild 1999, it had a very "classic" wrestling feel to it. I knew going into the match it wasn't going to be a technical or high flying match up, it was more based on showmanship. I think that a match between Hogan and Hart in 2000 could had still been well choreographed and hyped up. When Brett had to pull out of Sold Out is considered the first "domino" in the eventual downfall of WCW. Russo was fired and Sullivan was promoted to head booker that caused several superstars to leave which caused the product to suffer. When Russo was brought back he was given full creative control and that's when we got the shenanigans that we remember from the end of WCW.
