Would Austin have gotten as popular as he got without Mr. McMahon has his foil?

Quoted By:

He still would have been popular just feuding with other wrestlers, but something about seeing a guy verbally abusing and beating the shit out of his boss seemed to connect with a lot more people back then. That's really what took his popularity to the next level

Popular, but not as popular. People wanted to see an everyday guy kicking his boss' ass.

Austin and McMahon's looney tunes style feud was classic. I barely remember any matches but I remember all the Austin McMahon stuff like the fake gun and the Rumble match

Austin peaked in 97 and by the Vince feud he was already a parody of himself.

He would have been extremely popular within the wrestling bubble but it took him vs McMahon for wrestling to cross mainstream

Quoted By:

if you recall he was already extremely popular before then, enough to be the top babyface in the company, so yes.

If you didn't know Vince was the booker/owner/promoter, and just saw this dude coming out as a wrestler, do you think he could draw dimes? He has a kind of JBL look, but that outfit is pure Steve Blackman.
