Things that killed the wrestling boom in 2001-2002:
>Austin's heel turn
>The buyout of WCW and ECW
>Botched WCW invasion
>Name change from WWF to WWE (given the ratings drop, it's likely viewers took the "Get the F Out" message literally)
>Chris Kreski leaving the writing team and Stephanie taking over because nepotism
>Austin and Rock becoming part-time
>9/11
>Triple H's Reign of Terror
Imagine if just one of these things had been done differently or not had happened.
