I am that one guy who didn't want RVD to take the title from Cena.
At this point the storyline grabbed me as WWE vs some outsiders. Cena was defending the title that Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Lex Luger, Hulk Hogan, Bruno Samatrino, HBK, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Undertaker, and so many greats held before him. I didn't want to see that title, that legacy, go on someone who needed a bingo hall full of smarks to get over. |

Gonna have to echo what others have said and say Rey Mysterio's title reign in 2006. First one that jumped out in my mind. First off, I was a huge Rey fan in his WCW days and when he first came over to WWE. I always thought it'd be awesome if he found a way to win the World Title. I never expected a lengthy run out of him.
I always figured it would be a surprise win to pop the crowd and sell the fact that anything can happen in WWE. Maybe he works a couple of programs against guys he can realistically work with but are still main eventers, such as Eddie and Angle (I figured a Rey title run someday was plausible even while Eddie was alive). Then you do the logical transition of him feuding with a bigger guy and while you could find ways to flirt with him winning, ultimately he drops the belt and moves on to his next program. Rey was always super over, and it'd be a nice reward for him to work at the top of the card with the belt and the fans would feel rewarded for having invested in him as a character. But it would also maintaining a sense of realisticness since he'd never go over somebody he physically shouldn't stand a chance against. But instead they booked him like a complete and utter jobber after he won the belt. More importantly though, his run to the belt was booked in such a way that nothing could have possibly been interpreted from it other than "the spirit of Eddie has willed Rey to victory!" and it was just exploitative as all fuck. |

I would say Reys 1 hour reign with the WWE title was completely unnecessary.

TPWW also isn't what I'd call a "workrate website", so JBL gets a lot of love here.
I friggen loved his title reign. |

Oh I know, and I like that. I'm a staunch believer that the work in the ring is the least important part of being a star, and I know you're in the same boat - I vividly remember your message to me about our mutual appreciation of the big picture about a year ago.

I've got your back on this hb2k. I was bored to tears during JBL's reign. And I was a Doug Basham mark.

Maybe Tammy needs to spank me and teach me a lesson? Does anyone still have that hotline number?
