He's the CHAMPION! Its his responsibility to carry the load. He's the one who is supposed to be the best. Putting the asses in the seats and making the matches good. BUT unless he's being carried through a match by a Jericho, HBK, Booker then his matches suck. To me, if your the champion I see it as your responsibility to have the good match, regardless of whatever the challengers skills or lack there of are. Bottom line is, the champion should have the ability to take on any jabroni and make the match great.

"Bottom line is, the champion should have the ability to take on any jabroni and make the match great."

...which is something very, very few people can do anymore. Benoit and Jericho are pretty much the only two people I can think of that can have a good match with the likes of A-Train and Mark Henry. Maybe Angle and occasionally Cena, but in a roster of over 150 people, having 3 or 4 people to look at as examples isn't too healthy. Especially since Benoit and Jericho have been pushed and de-pushed in and out of the World Title scene so often it'd be damn near imposible to take them seriously as champion.

Anyways, HBK is still a damn good worker, but doesn't need to be the Champ. HHH has done far more harm to the industry than help, and rivals Hogan and Gagne when it comes to spotlight hogging and nepotism. Neither of them deserve to call themselves World Champion, but it looks like we're stuck with 'em until they find another massively over up-and-coming star to bury.
