Well, Triple H is World Heavyweight Champion no MORE! So I am curious to where the days of NO CHAMPION will fit into this mathematical equation.
Anyways, Triple H can now brag that he never lost his title, which will make the winner of the tournament look like a loser in the end after all.
Triple H should have just dropped the title to Orton at the Rumble 2005 or Wrestle Mania 21. Then after that loss, Triple H can never ever win another World Championship because it discards his loss to Orton, just like Benoit's win over Triple H has been discarded because Tripel H was once again champion after like five months.
Long title reigns CAN have their advantages but not when you put on shit matches on a consistant basis.
However, we should never again mention CREDIBILITY and a WWE title in the same sentence ever again .... because it is never going to happen.
