Also, what also made it amazing, was the way that everyone was 'converted', it wasn't just a bunch of heels stuck together with Taker. Hells Henchmen became the Acolytes. Paul Bearer became 'Brother Paul' within the cult, and went back to his old look. Phineas Godwin/ Dennis Knight became Mideon became completely deranged. And of course King Mabel becoming Viscera (loved the kidnapping of Mable at the 99 Rumble, stuffing him in the trunk and driving away, only for him to be converted to the cause on Raw).
The whole thing had so much depth, and its stuff like that I miss the most.
Damn shame they pissed it away with the Corporate Ministry. Don't get me wrong, it was awesome at the time, because all the big heels were together as one. But looking back you have to wonder how much longer the Ministry could have gone on.
Plus, this :
