Hey Scott. Could you make a case for extending the following title runs? Or did they pull the plug at the right time?
-
Macho Man in 88/89
Macho will always be champion of my heart and should have reigned for a thousand years. Especially as a heel.
-
Macho Man in 92
Eh, not so much here. It was clearly a failing title reign.
-
Bret in 92/93
If they were going to build to the Hogan match, they should have kept it on him. Otherwise, they were right to take it off him from a business standpoint. Other than Yokozuna, they could have tried Mr. Perfect if he was sticking around.
-
Bret in 94
Tough call. The business was in freefall and it probably wouldn't have mattered who was on top. But better Bret than Diesel.
-
HBK in 96
Nope, Shawn was poison by November and they probably waited too LONG to take it off him.
-
Triple H in 99 (meaning he wins it from Mankind and we just bypass the whole McMahon and Big Show title wins)
I'll allow it.
-
Jericho in 2002
That title reign was actually making him a bigger geek by the day. He was lucky they took it off him. Either way, Hogan was getting it anyway.
-
Benoit in 2004
Ditto, that title reign was doing him no favors and it was just to set up Orton anyway.
-
Punk in 2012 to Royal Rumble 2013
If you ask Punk he'll say he should still be champ today.
