I think my point remains: At some point, a world champion, heel or face, needs some clean and decisive victories over guys that can be considered legitimate #1 guys in the company, so that they themselves can be considered legitimate #1 guys in the company.
In today's wrestling world, simply being a World or WWE champion will not make the fans believe that you are #1. Today's fans are smarter than in yester-year. If you become a World/WWE champ and do NOT get that much needed clean and decisive victory over a legit #1 guy, then you will be seen as nothing more than a transitional champ....and you will soon fall back down to earth once your title reign ends.
This was one of the reasons why guys like Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Booker T, Big Show, Chris Jericho, and a whole slew of other wrestlers, never really had their pushes materialize into anything significant.
