It's somethign I wish they'd done more, because I've seen the title change hands a million times on PPV and for some reason nothign tops changes like this.

Damn. Good times. Austin's return after being out for a couple of months - unannounced return - sent the crowd wild and Foley, who was more over than people like Lashley and Bats can ever dream of being, winning the title sent them over the edge.
I think like Jerry says, its all about the unexpected. Austin return was totally unannounced. Nowadays all we get is 'Batista will return in x days' and there's nothing particularly exciting about that when its drummed into your head every fucking week.
