>>13422608VKM never seemed to get Face Kurt. Not a clue why. He wasn't gonna bring things back to their AE height, but nobody in the company was with how bad the booking had gotten. Honestly, even better booking wouldn't have saved things completely. No boom lasts forever. But better booking sure would've stemmed the tide.
Vince should've put Kurt over Austin at Summerslam, and then just run with the guy at least till Wrestlemania X8. An Angle/Hunter match might even have avoided the crowd burnout of Jericho/Hunter, though that still would be a dumb idea and they should've gone with Rock/Hogan in the main.
