Was it wrong to turn Austin at WM17

The heel turn was a mistake because you knew you were losing Rock, (and had to know it was more or less going to be permanent sooner than later,) your closest equivalent babyface who appealed to casual viewers ala Austin, to Hollywood. The alignment with McMahon was really the thing that hurt the most though. In fact, I think you could have done the same thing like so many, including Austin himself, have said but not aligned with Vince and HHH, and essentially turned him into an even more vicious version of the babyface Austin and not have had such a negative reaction and the loss of casual viewers.
