Just because HBK's title reign happened to conflict with the birth of the NWO and WCW's uprising doesn't mean HBK's title reing was not a great one. Too many new fans didn't care about WRESTLING in '96. Those days were pretty much gone. As far as WRESTLING goes, HBK's title reing was brilliant.

If you're going to bash JBL's reign because he doesn't put on good wrestling matches with clean finishes, then you can't ignore the same factors when judging Michael's reign.

During his 8 month reign, he had two great defenses against the British Bulldog, an entertaining match with Vader following a great 2 month feud and a match with Mick Foley that Mick calls one of the best matches he's ever had. Not to mention the fact that his title reign began at WM XXII in one of the greatest matches of all time.
