Bet seriously,

I do think that Stuey was such a terrific player not due to his reading skills, but also due to his agressiveness and total disregard for money.

This combined attitude was far less common back then. Today he would have found his match in both characteristics in many many poker players, thus annuling some of his bigger advantages.

I'm sure that he would have adapted, but I find it hard to believe that he could stay as dominant.

I don't know how well he'd do in a cash game against aggro online "meglomaniacs", as Phil Hellmuth call them. But he'd own live donkaments as his style involve a lot of bullying weak players. But once people start to play back at him, esp. shove on him preflop, his edge will be reduced to minimum.

If he was at last year's wsop final table, do you think he could break Jerry Yang w/o getting good hands quick, as Yang was going nuts overbetting/shoving every hand?

He'd do pretty good in live games and tournaments, but the internet pros in NVG would think he was terrible.

In 1977 he was bet $100,000 by Bob Stupak, an owner and designer of casinos, that he could not count down the last three decks in a six deck shoe. Ungar won the bet.
