I have been watching the Monday Night Wars on WWE 24/7 and they are in the month of May and talking about matches that are going to happen at KOTR 97'
2 matches that were suspose to happen I guess were HBK Vs Hart if Hart doesnt win in 10 mins or less he never wrestles in USA again.
Second match was suspose to be Austin Vs Pillman.
Those matches never happened as it was changed to Austin Vs HBK Tag Team champs facing each other.
Does anyone think that they should have gone along with the two original matches?
Why did they change those matches like that and make it Austin HBK, those two matches seemed intresting if they happened.

If Pillman had lived, I honestly think that he and Austin would've headlined WM with a title match.

I heard before that WWF wanted Pillman to take shawn's spot in WWF because they thought he was that good.

I always thought they canceled the Hart vs. Michaels match at King Of The Ring '97 because Hart ended up getting inured or something, and they didn't do Austin vs. Pillman for they could do Michaels vs. Austin, and then they were going to to do Brian Pillman vs. Austin on the next night's RAW, which if I remember right The Hart Foundation ended up coming out and attacking Austin, which lead to Mankind vs. Pillman being the main event, and then finally the next week's RAW they had Pillman vs. Austin.

Would have been great to have seen pillman peak in the WWF - still tho i think his feud with austin was pretty enjoyable

Even though I was just a kid back then in 97 I didnt even know who Pillman was really. But I didnt even think he ws going anywhere after that whole, he had to wear a dress thing fued with goldust. That was just plain stupid.

The stuff they were doing with Pillman during his WWF run definitely didn't appear to be taking him anywhere but the mid-card for a long time. Unfortunately, it appeared that Pillman peaked physically by like 1993-94 and was more dependant on his non-wrestling antics than anything else to get himself recognition.
Once the WWF signed him, they probably quickly realized that his personal life was too unstable to entrust him with anything major.... so they didn't and put him in an image destroying feud with a face Goldust.
It's sad, but with how he was he was destined for disaster.... even if he had lived.

Bret was injured or the real-life behind the scenes feud between Hart & HBK was so bad, that the WWF feared they'd would literally beat each other on TV. My thoughts and feelings have always been with the former. The latter I just heard/read somewhere and don't know if there is any credibility to it at all.
