Also, I've often seen it said that WCW fucked up by having Goldberg win the belt off of Hogan on Nitro. I never really thought it was that egregious tbh...though I might be biased because it was my biggest wrestling markout moment ever as a kid.

The World Title almost never changed hands on TV at that point. It was a treat to see it happen, made you realize that World Title matches on TV aren't a complete given. And the right audience to do it in front of. I'm just not sure I can buy the logic of "you can't ever switch the top belt on TV" when just a few months later the WWF did it and it basically won them the war.
