I'm thinking of an alternate universe where WCW gave enough of a shit about Eddie. But in reality? Steiner would be better than Nash. Believe it.
Steiner doesn't emerge until 1999 as that sort of guy. Hell some sort of face Buff Bagwell after that injury is a better choice.
None of the Radicalz were there yet. DDP already faced Goldberg in the best match of Goldberg's career. Bret is injured or something. Hall is drunk. Giant is leaving. Flair would be a farce though the fans would accept it. Booker isn't there yet. Macho is injured. Luger sucks. Sting...is actually a pretty good choice.
