    Great question, but nah. Gotta agree with Sion. WCW had too many people. Hogan wasn't about to let him shine like that. Brett leaving was the perfect set for him

    Considering hes not much bigger than X Pac I can see Hogan trying to put him in the Cruiserweight division.

    If you heard Talk is Jericho Friday Jericho and Sabu talk about WCW wanting to put Sabu in the Cruiserweight division. Lol

    He would have been miserable in WCW and then he would have made Bischoff's life hell until he fired him.

    exactly. back then, the nWo and Bischoff were buring everyone under 225 lbs, putting them all in their place, so they can hold them down politically and in the ring. HBK probably would have been the exception since he knew Hall and Nash, but if Hogan trumped them, then he would have had his way by avoiding a feud with HBK, and it probably would have spawned an earlier breakup of the nWo core, trying to protect HBK, with Hall and Nash turning on Hogan or vice versa, in storyline, based on the politics in the back.

    HBK was one of the better in ring workers and charismatic wrestlers I've ever seen.

    I've always thought his mic work was average it wasn't until DX was formed and WWE started pushing edgier angles that I checked for anything he was saying.

    Dude would have gotten buried in the mid card in WCW and probably buried in the mid card in WWE/F had it not been for the steroid scandal which ironically is when old Vince started trying to push smaller guys.
