Missed opportunities

Return of the NWO, Jericho's first win over Triple H, Foley's first return from retirement.

The original NWO formula was awesome, because they turned boring baby-faces into fun heels. The return was silly and they didn't turn any mid-card guys as I recall which screwed things up. What should have happened was as soon as they got back they enlisted Big Show, renamed him Giant, recruited Triple H and Shawn Michaels and 5-6 mid-card guys.

Nash, Hall, Hogan, Giant, Triple H, Michaels, Edge, Christian + a host of bad bad guys would have been really fun and I think it's what we all expected. Not what we got though. It would have been much cooler for Austin, Rock and Angle to be the underdogs in a battle for the soul of the WWE.

Jericho's win over Triple H was fantastic and everybody loved it, right up until the sloppy writing ending where the match was overturned. Booo. Should have resulted in an epic feud with Triple H on the hunt for the title. Instead...nothing that I recall.

Foley's Wrestlemania return was pretty lackluster as a match, and made his subsequent returns a little less special. He should have been the ref and made a return somewhere down the line. Vince screwed it up and gave us a cluster-fuck of a main-event instead. Hated that match with a passion.
