Yeah, Edge was pretty great as champion, he had the La Familia faction (if my timeline is right) and the feud with Undertaker was pretty loving awesome.

You kind of have to got with Hogan's nWo reigns in 1996 and 1997. As unsavoury as the man is - and seriously, loving gently caress the racist gently caress - those reigns were historically relevant and made big money. Booker's reigns came at a time when the company was clearly gurgling down the drain.

kind of feel like every wcw title reign after the benoit vs sid match was like "oh well who gives a gently caress then" even to the people doing it. i guess they had started to rehab it right before the sale but w/e

Yeah, I was happy when Booker won the title and thought it was one of the few good things dying days WCW did, but there's no disputing what a big deal Hogan's reign was even if, to quote many, gently caress Hulk Hogan.

Voting Trips because that mania triple threat is far better than anything from Goldberg's reign but feeling bad about it given Trips being the main reason why Goldberg's reign sucked

Apart from the three-way, none of the matches went longer than seven minutes and all were on Raw.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
