Vince McMahon seemed to have some faith in the idea that the Diesel character could turn his company around in 1994, especially with Big Daddy Cool as Champion. In retrospect, while it laid the groundwork for some future success, Nash's reign as Champion has to be considered the low-water mark for the company. Do you guys think Diesel had a chance in saving the W.W.F. from a mediocre fate? Was he marketed right? He seemed to be more interesting wrestling other faces like Bret Hart than battling heels. What are your impressions?

No I dont think he would have been WWFs savior because there were some many champions that were better before him. I guess in that point of the WWF he was thought of the best it had to offer but no I dont think Nash could have single handidly saved the WWF from its low point at that time.

I think he falls into the same catagorie that HBK's Last pre Austin Run with the belt and Bret's last few reigns.
Damage limatation. Just good enought to keep the company afloat untill a "saviour" in this case Austin came along.

I definitely agree, although it doesn't say much for the company if, as scottingraham said, this was the best the W.W.F. had to offer. More than likely, he was merely the biggest and Vince loves the big dudes, at least until he had success later on with Shawn, Austin, etc. |
