Triple H's problem was he was an upper midcarder trying at any and all costs to be more than that.

What would the timeline look like if Vince decided to stay with Bret and instead fired Shawn/HHH in Montreal?

- Bret takes HHH's place in the deadly game tournament and gets screwed by Rock in the final match
- Bret feuds with Rock instead of Mick Foley
- Bret faces Vince McMahon at WrestleMania XV
- Rest of 1999 from WM to SS remains the same
- Jericho gets elevated to 4th wheel behind Bret-Austin-Rock
- Foley gets the belt at Summerslam instead of HHH
- Bret turns heel again, reforms hart foundation and puts over The Rock at WM2000

Ric Flair was super close to returning after Wrestlemania 14

>In 1998, Ric Flair was sued by Eric Bischoff and WCW as he had missed out on a WCW Nitro taping, dated 9th April 1998. Flair was attending a wrestling event that involved his son Reid Flair and the Nature Boy claimed that he had provided WCW management prior notice that he would not be able to attend the taping in question. Regardless, the lawsuit was filed and Flair disappeared from television for months.

>Bischoff was not satisfied and each time he went on live television he ran down Ric Flair, often branding him as a piece of excrement stuck to his boot. Eventually, the lawsuit was settled and Flair returned in September and kick-started a feud with Eric Bischoff. Said feud culminated at the Nitro following Starrcade 1998 and upon winning, Flair was instated as the president of WCW.

>Back then, many wrestling fans assumed that Ric Flair was a lock-in for WWE and in reality, Flair was just a couple of steps away from entering the WWE ring, pretty much literally. The Nature Boy was outside the building of Unforgiven 1998, and he was constantly circling the Greensboro Coliseum in his car, with his lawyer on one line and Jim Cornette on the other.

>Apparently, even Vince McMahon was on board and the idea was to bring him in and give him a seat among fans during the first match of the show. Jim Ross would then freak out at the sight of Flair sitting in the front row and that would have led to one of the most impactful appearances in history, according to Jim Cornette.

>In the end. Flair’s lawyer suggested that he refrained from popping up on the television show of another company as WCW was opting for a settlement.

We could've had Flair during the attitude era facing off against guys like Austin, Foley, Rock, and Shamrock.

>if Vince decided to stay with Bret

There's no timeline in which happens because it was Bret's decision as Vince couldn't pay him as much as WCW.

Well shit, that is disappointing. Bret Hart saved the WWF because he was the one who hand-picked Austin and protected the Rock. Furthermore, Bret's ideals manifested in Austin, who in turn protected the Rock and ensured was able to enter and remain in the main event scene where he rightfully belonged. WWF won the war because -
>Austin and Hart protected the right stars
>WCW chased away a ton of talent
>Because Bitchoff allowed Hogan and Nash to 92 him and WCW on regular bases,

Peak Micheaels. Peak Austin. At the time, I thought HHH was a little bitch. His transformation in 2000 was insane.

It would have sucked. Bret had no place there anymore, but contradictingly, should've stayed anyway, imo.
