During the peak of the Monday Night Wars who would you had love to see get a top push in each company?

Imagine how differently things could have been if Chris Jericho got a top push in WCW and helped put forward younger and faster paced talent getting main event spots. Raven is one that could have emerged and been completely counter culture to everything in WCW.

A very easy answer for WWF is Owen Hart.

Another one is Test. He was better than he should have been at that point in his career. I fully believe he should have been the person to beat Triple H for the WWF Title at Survivor Series 1999. Then Triple H does the marriage coup with Stephanie and that leads to Triple H beating Test and Vince McMahon in similar fashion with Stephanie making the turn. Instead, Test was at his hottest after beating Shane McMahon at Summerslam and didn't have another singles PPV match for years.

Whats up with Alex hammerstone is there a reason one bigger companies haven't signed him

Well his ....supplement usage isn't exactly a secret. Although there are plenty of wrestlers in both companies clearly on things. He's wrestled a lot less than usual and seems to be focusing on coaching and content creation. But he's a really good wrestler. He's had his runs in MLW, TNA, NWA, but just hasn't got picked up anywhere.
