The Day The Prestige Died
By Scott Keith on 24 June 2019
How impressive is it that with Championships being as unimportant as they are that WWE managed to book two World Title matches in one night where 100% of the audience KNEW the challengers had no chance of winning? Jinder Mahal in 2017 felt like a more compelling challenger than either Corbin or Ziggler do now.
On that note, can you pinpoint the exact moment where titles in WWE quit being worth much of anything? Having two WWE Champions in 2011 a whopping eight days after CM Punk won the title stands out to me, but I’m sure it goes back even farther than that.
I'd say HHH getting the World title awarded to him in 2002 was a pretty strong start for that trend.
