Crazy concept, I know.

Let's take a look at Trip's stellar run(s) in 1999.

Summerslam - Austin uses his power to avoid having to JOB to him
RAW - Trips wins in what is essentially a 3 on 1 match
Smackdown - Vince beats Triple H for the WWF Title
Other TV's - loses to Mideon and Viscera and Big Show
Unforgiven - wins 6 pack challenge
No Mercy - Trips beats Austin (Rock actually cost Austin the match but a win is a win right?)
Survivor Series - loses the belt to BIG SHOW
Dec PPV - Trips finally gets his big win back against Vince!
RAW - Trips beats Show for WWF title

As you can see not unlike Rollins reign. He lost to a lot of guys while being champion, and never beat any of the top stars on his own. Yes, he did pin Austin, but thats not different that Rollins pinning Cena at Summerslam.

Yes, as 2000 rolled around, they booked him strong against Foley, but he would still lose matches on TV to guys like Austin and Rock.
