I still think Austin would have become the top guys in the WWF -he just wouldn't have been as popular as he became. When Bret return in the fall, he said in his book that Austin was the one guy he wanted to work with, so that feud would have still taken place and given Steve the boost he needed to the top of the card. It's just with the Kliq around I don't think he'd have been as big as he was.
If anyone suffers it's likely Rock. HBk and HHH didn't like him and were reported to have tried to hold him back.

Tatanka vs. the British Bulldog on Sunday Night Heat. Razor Ramon and Diesel vs. Shawn Michaels and HHH on Monday Night Raw.

Dubya See Dubya would have gone broke sooner and closed down sooner.

I had a what if question I posed similar to this around 5 years ago. Couldn´t find it. It was what if Hogan was turned heel in the WWF before going to WCW then back again? I do not think WCW would have taken off as it did.

WCW would have died earlier because Bischoff would have kept listening to Hogan. Hulk would have kept the title off and on for several more years while dragging in more of his over-the-hill buddies from the 80s. WCW never would have competed with WWF without the fresh blood of Hall/Nash and the NWO angle.
WWF? That's a more interesting question. Vince spent most of the early-to-mid 90s oblivious to the fact that his fanbase had aged and the internet was revealing closely kept wrestling secrets. Would he have eventually made a creative change that led to an Attitude Era renaissance or would WWF have started the spiral downward to irrelevance 10 or so years earlier?

I think the kick in the a$$hole that Vince got from the nWo angle is absolutely ESSENTIAL lads. He was stuck in a rut and definitely in a creative desert in 1996.
He didn't think WCW would do anything productive with Hall & Nash....and while he didn't want to see them go? He wasn't that broken up by it because in his mind he was still 1# and WCW were FAR behind him. He was also oblivious to the ground they had gained.
Ireland was WWF country 100%.....but in 1996 folks started switching to see all their old WWF faves in WCW.....slowly but surely more & more of the lads were talking about it.

Gave this thread a shout out in the podcast Aggro and I do. This was a fantastic idea.

The NWO would have turned out differently
