    It's always weird seeing him pre WWE.

    I never knew how the Austin 3:16 stuff started. I never watched that KOTR. How crazy was that. He was at a (local medical facility) getting stitches, didnt see Jake's promo, when he got back to the arena, he just got a rundown of what Jake said, and played off that once he won. Never knew Jake was the one who brought all that John 3:16 stuff on TV. What would've happened had Austin not been cleared to come back that night?

    Had he not made it back, it would have been two guys that missed their opportunity. Austin got his shot because HHH was involved in the “Madison Square Garden Incident” and Vince was pissed and pushed him down the pecking order.

      Imagine King Jake the Snake or King Marc Mero.

      Jake's next feud was with Jerry Lawler anyways, so perhaps that would've tied in more if Austin didnt come back?

      Or King Mero and Queen Sable?

        I still think this is the most interesting aspect of Austin's rise to the top. He had debuted with the company in January, then won King of The Ring just a few months later all because 90's HBK and his friends decided to break kayfabe. If they had not done that and Hunter won King Of The Ring instead, there is no Austin 3:16 merchandise that sells like hot cakes after Austin won. I mean maybe Helmsley 3:16 merchandise sells I don' t know, but what were they going to do with Hunter after winning? They didn't do much with Austin as he was still in the IC title picture up until late 1997 early 1998 where he got his main event run with Shawn for Mania.

        Besides the whole Kliq aspect, I never knew that Austin winning almost didn't happen because of an injury. Does Mero beat Jake thanks to Lawler who then endorses Mero as a real King to play into the feud with Jake? Its like Scarlett told Balor at the end of NXT, things happen for a reason and wrestling would look a whole lot different if certain things didn't happen the way they did.

          They actually had a PPV match at Summerslam, as hard as that is to believe in 1996.

            I think a HHH vs Bret feud for sure would've happened. HHH vs Bret actually makes more sense than Austin vs Bret. That feud would've taken HHH into WM with that Bret match.

            Austin, who knows what would've happened. Maybe wind up in that spot where guys like Rock,Foley were in for 96/97?

                They won't have everything til SummerSlam, per reports. It seems as though most of the content added has been random though.

                  As mentioned, uploads to Peacock thus far have been random and they say it'll all be back up by SummerSlam.

                  I'm curious about the WWE Network not working for you though. It's supposed to be usable until April 4, and in my experience still works (I just put a random show on to test).

                  --

                  I watched Fastlane on Peacock tonight just to test it out before WrestleMania, and had really good results. Maybe one or two seconds of pixelated video, but no skips, jumps, buffering, etc. Thought the video itself was cleaner too, specifically fewer blocks and artifacts when there was a lot going on on-screen, usually during entrances.

                  The other stuff (UI, back catalog delay) still sucks, but if they can keep this level of video quality I'll at least be happy with that aspect of it.

                          Mine still works as well.

                          However, I did read that people are beginning to get their accounts taken down slowly, and not all at once.

                            I guess I better do a binge to try and finish the NWA weekly shows I’ve been watching. I figured I had until the 4th

                              Not a great customer service gesture to tell people they'll have access to the Network into the beginning of April, and then take it away weeks ahead of schedule with no notice.

                                They sent an email last week stating that your Network access would end at the end of your billing period. Mine ended Friday. So I have to watch it through Peacock now.
