Even though the title match went on last, it had no heat and very few people were interested in the outcome. By the end of that night, the biggets stars in the company were Hogan and Rock. As a result, the title and the champion, seemed like a secondary issue. Once that happens, the belt loses a lot of its value, and historically having a weak championship will lead to poor business. The same thing will happen with this card. The matches that will get all the publicity will be Kane-Taker, Goldberg-Brock and Foley's match. The other matches will take a backseat. As a result, the title looks like a prop, because the main matches on the card have nothing to do with the title. How can you take a match that will be 5th or 6th from the top as being the match to determine 'the best' in the company? To me that doesn't make sense.

I don't really think any one match is going to be pushed more than another for this show. The name is what is selling the show and the plan is probably to pack it and make the whole thing as memorable as possible.

Remember, while Rock vs. Hogan got all the pub, Jericho was being booked like shit from the second he got the belt and the plan until the day of the show was for Rock and Hogan to go on last.
