In 1993 when CRush came back to the WWF as Hawaiin Crush he was very over with fans
Do you think he could have had a reign as champ even a short one?
When would the perfect time had been?

I don't think he could have made it work. Maybe if the European title was a thing yet, he could do that, but I think he was about at the level he could work at.

He was somewhat over but nowhere near the point of being champ. They had tried to make him the next big star but he wasn’t over enough or good enough to be that guy.

10 year old me would have preferred him to have been in Luger's position/push.
35 year old me still agrees.

I don’t think that would have worked.

Intercontinental, yes. He could have done a back-and-forth with Michaels from KOTR '93 to SummerSlam (assuming they didn't also do the Jannetty mini-reign in May, because that's just way too much IC hot potato).
World title, no. He had a great look but was an average worker at best and a below-average talker, and it just wouldn't have held up. I think he challenged Bret once or twice for the belt as a heel on Raw, which was about the extent of his main-event potential.

Once he jobbed to a clown and never got his win back there was no chance.

Maybe later in the year as Heel Japanese Sympathizer. Kona Crush, nope.

He could have been a WCW World champion. Imagine an epic, champion making feud between top NWO members Brian Adams and Horace Hogan. Horace could have even wore the red and yellow. The new Mega Powers exploding!!!

You know how the WWF took a nosedive with Diesel as champ? I imagine it would've been far worse with Crush

How about as Jail Bird/NOD Crush? This toy was one of my favorites. Used to love that he's in all denim.

At the time I expected big things from him and thought he’d at least get an IC run. He had the perfect look for 92/93 WWF, and as the talent pool was dwindling I thought he’d get a big title push. With hindsight, though, he wasn’t a good worker and wouldn’t have been a good champion at any level.

He felt like a novelty babyface that didnt really need a title to be honest, a bit like a 90's version of Hercules or someone of his standing in the late 80's. Popular mid carder, got the odd title match but never really a contender.

No, because he wasn't over enough and couldn't cut good face promos.
