Don't forget JBL "wrestled" like 4 ppv main events with Batista, and only one was decent at best.
This is a really tough question. I didn't really have much instinct other than "Shawn 96". But then I thought of Austin's "Smoking Skull" reign which was as equivilant as Hogan's first run and more significant than HBK or Bret Hart. Though he didn't hold the title all that long it was a great addition to the rejuvinated Ausint/McMahon feud which I feel is the best feud in wrestling history.
Cena is up there with Bret and Michaels as far as great matches but not bigger than Austin in the importance of history.
Another instinct I had was Jericho, but to be honest I may just be thinking of his last run in general as I don't remember who he won or lost it too.
So, Austin.

I must agree with you, because it was by the time he won the title for the first time that I was starting to watch wrestling. During that first reign, I was obsessively HOOKED on WWF so much that I recorded every show and would go insane if I didn't catch it. The hook loosened a bit when it started to slip into the PG Era.
