Speculative question

In mid 1995, Vince McMahon turned full creative control of the WWF over to Cowboy Bill Watts in what was considered a shock move. He put him in full charge of the TV product and vowed never to overrule him on any decision he made.

Of course, a few months later control freak Vince did exactly that, and Watts decided to amscray.

My question is, considering how close Vince came to going out of business in the mid 90s until the Attitude era made him a billionairre, do you believe the WWF/WWE would still exist to this day had Vince followed through and let the Cowboy run the show? Would Erik Watts have beaten Flair's world title record? Is Watts a creative genius (Mid South) or a washout (WCW)?
