>>18548954I am very certain there is an anti-Austinfag on this board right now because you have to be fucking retarded to think Austin was replaceable. The only time he was close to replacable was 2000 when he spend some time recovering from neck surgery and the Rock was the top guy.
But between late 1997 and 2000, Austin was THE top guy of the WWE. Bret and Shawn were anti-draws, Taker's 1997 title run is one of the worst drawing runs of all time (worst-drawing WrestleMania pre-Network, one of the worst-drawing SummerSlams) and The Rock was not ready to be the top guy of the company for 2 years.
There's a reason Austin is still the biggest draw of WWE despite his relatively short time on top compared to Hogan, Cena and Cody.
>>18548897Either way, the correct answer would be Cody. I can see the WWE still prosper without Cody. The other 3 were too influential for their respective era's.
