Val Venis has never ever had a show stealing match, let alone several. Plus when factoring in his style and how different it was, and how he kept adapting his persona, he's leagues ahead of Val.

The Horsemen of Flair/Arn/Pillman/Benoit was far and above any incarnation in the at least six years prior, and as they were given promo time, they were the highlight of Nitro at the time. And nobody really said anything about ECW, that was the beauty of the entire Loose Cannon character, whether we was showing up on Nitro or ECW, it wasn't about them, it was about him. That was the point. As for his WWF run - he was primed for a really special run before the humvee wreck, and while I agree his time there was nowhere near what it could have been, it still had a number highlights that, as much as you want to say they aren't memorable, even a Pillman detractor like yourself doesn't need to ask for details on what "The Gun angle" was.
