Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 2669055, member: 2458"] Yes. I read his first 3 books, and used to listen to his podcast regularly. Even if it ended up brief( like when Shawn Michaels won the title in 2002, or even Hogan earlier in 2002), I still think he time was right for him to win the title as face. It fit the storyline perfectly, he was white hot with the fans, and I prefer payoffs to Storylines at Wrestlemania that built up for a long time, especially for the title. Even if it was a transitional title run, it would’ve been cool to see him win the title at Mania as a face off Owens and carry it until the next PPV at least. If I recall, that’s basically what they did with the US title and him anyway? Should’ve been the world title. Putting that on a 50 year old returner who hadn’t wrestled in forever like Goldberg just really didn’t come off well to me. [/QUOTE]
