Ugh, HHH still sucks but Shawn was still cool in 2002 and having him come back and beat him was great.
Also I am unswayed by Steiner or his math.
So I am the sole vote of dissent. I am sorry.

Would you be my new best friends?

gently caress Hollywood Hogan, but voted for him because the loss to Goldberg felt like such a huge loving deal.... and hilariously only happened because Hogan pushed for the match so the visiting Turner execs would associate him with the giant rear end Georgia Dome crowd, if I remember right?

Doesn't look like it, cagematch has 21 matches listed for the reign, 31 if counting house shows. There's things like him defending it twice in a day (Prime and Nitro) or defending on a ppv and the following day's Nitro a couple of times.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

My memory of both is vague, other than I vaguely recall not particularly liking Cena's reign apart from how cool the ending of it was. So Batista gets the vote by default, even though I'm fairly certain the Undertaker match he had that I remember the most fondly wasn't either of the two listed.
