You all got to realize that back in 94, when Hogan came in, he basically saw everyone and said that him and his friends would be the only ones that mattered. So Austin was jobbed to Jim FUCKING DUGGAN and he was basically fired when he went to Japan, got hurt, and failed to tell WCW about it. If Hogan hadn't have come in, there is no doubt in my mind that he would have been one of the centerpieces of that organization. Of course, we all knew how that went. Austin got himself over, and then got himself to the top of the company, and because of what happened to him in WCW, he stayed on top for as long as he could.
