Jump The Shark Moments

I understand both decisions. But in both cases, they were the wrong decisions.

As far as Austin goes, I get turning him heel as a wrestling character, opening up other opportunities. But there are intangibles being drastically ignored in all of it, namely that Austin wasn't just a wrestling character to a lot of people. At the time I even agreed with the move, but something about it killed the heart and soul of the company. Not just the bad luck of it all, but everything else as well.

Regardless of what stars you had, you can still book a decent angle instead of McMahon-athon. And slowly but surely, they could have signed more stars.... hell, they signed the nwo in 2002 not much long after the invasion was over.

What the problem was and still is, is a lack of patience and foresight.
