No....Paul, both in character and in real life, opportunistically used the vacuum that Owen's death left behind to insert himself into the main event picture.
That's no better than pissing on a man's grave.
Paul should've had his main event push disallowed until May 24, 2000, the day after the 1st year since Owen was killed.
In fact, if I ran WWE then, the WWF Championship would stay vacant until June 2000's King of the Ring, as a long-term year-long dedication to Owen, where it's winner would've become WWF Champion too, and H not getting his 1st until SummerSlam 2000, and not as a heel.
To me, Owen's death will forever be the one and only single reason Paul/H came to power. That's it. Anything else he did(including world title wins) are thrown out and ignored by me.
It's that easy.
