Can’t remember if it was hinted at on tv but there was definitely a rumor that it was going to be HBK. IIRC he had been showing up on tv a good bit around that time. Then I guess Vince decided that he was too high. lol Shawn was actually named commissioner on Raw the week after Survivor Series. I *think* his previous appearance before that was on Sunday Night Heat before SummerSlam where he does commentary with JR and Shane and dances with Sable...

And then 4 years Flair was back and over, as was Hogan for that matter. Vince would have taken either and promoted them in main event programs in 98/99 in a heartbeat. I still laugh at the fact during the New Generation and Attitude Era they promote youth. The May 2002 WWE Raw main event was Ric Flair vs. Hulk Hogan. It's like in one night they blew up everything they did and promoted in 6 years. I'll go you one better, at the 1994 King of The Ring they showed one of those NEW Vs OLD WWF: New Generation ads with clips of Roddy Piper as part of the old guard...and yet guess who main evented said PPV? So they couldn't even keep it on the level even back then.
