He was a midcarder in the Golden Era, people associate Bret more as the face of the New Generation era, Austin showed Vince didn't need Shawn anymore in the Attitude Era. And coming back in 2002, Shawn mainly spent his time having good matches and help put others over.
Plus, the only reason Shawn worked as a babyface in the Ruthless Aggression era is because he finally came back after a 4 year hiatus of injury and the WWE had a babyface power vacuum after Rock and Austin left.
He was never a top guy.
