What if Bret Hart never left the WWE?

#3 No Mr. McMahon character

Vince McMahon became a mega heel in 1997

Between 1971 and 1997, real-life WWE owner Vince McMahon worked on-screen as a commentator and interviewer, and he never had any serious intention of becoming a character beyond the announce desk.

However, due to the backlash that he received from the Montreal Screwjob, Vince inadvertently became one of the biggest bad guys that the wrestling business had ever seen and he could no longer be part of the announce team.

That, of course, led to the introduction of the heel Mr. McMahon character – something that definitely wouldn’t have happened had Bret Hart stayed with WWE.
