      Honestly. Kane
      6'11 320lbs puts him just above the hogan level of size and strength making him a fantastic heel foil for the likes of hogan and savage in the golden era. His height and power wouldve seen him in a similar position to diesel in the new generation era, we know he was great in the attitude era just by being a monster and he adapted his character through the ruthless agression era to have more substance to it which led to multiple world titles and some fantastic matches. And if he was still in his prime right now, you know he'd be at least a midcard heel in the vein of king crapbin if not a main eventer.

    Brian Cage is EXACTLY what WWE was looking for during the Ruthless Aggression era: looks like a super hero while also fitting the ring style that the business was on the precipice of shifting to at that time. He would have pleased both Vince and the work-rate oriented fans of the mid 2000’s and been a major player in defining what a top guy is in he years to follow.

A large part of it is actually to do with WrestleTalk, as I could no longer put up with the fawning over AEW, so I stopped watching the daily news and consequently just fell out of wrestling.

    This one maybe be confusing (maybe it’s mentioned in this video I haven’t watched it yet) but Owen Hart. Yes he perfectly fit that New Generation Era as one of its few bright spots but other then that he never got to fully be a major star. The Attitude Era felt like it had passed Owen’s work rate with a more street fight style with a bigger focus on characters.
    I think Owen Hart on Smackdown in 2002 (obviously if he was still here RIP) would have been a perfect WWE Champion. Matches with Leasner, Edge, Angle, Rock, Benoit, Mysterio and Guerrero would have all been masterful to see.
    Another wrestler in that would have been a mega star in another era is Cody Rhodes. Yes he has done so many great things like create AEW but imagine if he was where is now in the NWA. He would have been huge especially if he was a heel against Sting.

And sure, they and how they died were the reason these protocols were added, I just wish this is when they wrestled because then their size might not have made such a difference and they wouldn't have taken steroids or did moves like the diving headbutt to get pushes from creative.
