No, there wouldn't be a problem there. The problem would arise when people like The Undertaker, JBL or The Big Show want a shot. Rey beating Norton in WCW, on free TV, with a low blow was a joke. Him beating the Undertaker in a title match on a PPV would be worse.

Hogan won the title from Yoko at WM9 though, right?

BURN! Does he even still write? Does he get paid for that shit? It seems like with him being married and shit that he'd have better ways to spend his time.

The ending to that storyline is when I started to become cynical as it pertained to wrestling critism. They did the same shit with Jericho/Trish.

I'm still waiting for The Ultimate Warrior to resurface so that Triple H can get his Wrestlemania win back. WARRIOR even no-sold the Pedigree!

No, you're right. It was Spike Vs. Austin after Spike tore up the petition because Austin called Molly a bimbo. Brainfart I guess. My point is the little guy can occasionally win. It's just that putting the belt on him in the occasional win is a bad move. It just leads to a crappy title reign the devalues the title. Which, at this point, isn't saying a lot but it still matters.

..but then the "little guy" actually has to win the title. That's my problem with the whole scenario. I don't think matches like Spike Dudley Vs. Austin, TAKA Vs. HHH or Jeff Hardy Vs. The Undertaker would've been nearly as good if the "little guy" actually went over. Them just seeming like they can compete, I think, it good enough. It's the squash shit, like Triple H hitting the Pedigree to The Hurricane on the entrance ramp that makes shit look bad. I think that people like the underdog but they like reality more. If they ever win, we, as fans, want it to remain an upset. We don't want Mysterio going into a match as the favorite. At least I don't. If you have the belt, you're the favorite. HTM taught us that. He might now win the match but he's still the champion! If someone small, like Rey, wins the title, it'll be looked at as an upset. People wouldn't buy into him being credible against people of all sizes. So, each of his defenses that he won would be upsets too. Suddenly, his wins aren't upsets anymore. I don't think I could rally behind that. I don't think a whole lot of other people could either. I can't believe that Mysterio could beat a heavyweight more than once. Once, sure. It was a fluke. The underdog won. Eventually, he has to lose though. Hotshotting the belt onto him just to get to that point doesn't seem worth it.

To win the Rumble, you pretty much have to go over the entire roster though. Or they could give him #30 and actually make that number mean something.

They could get the same desired effect by having a "little guy" win the Royal Rumble. Then they wouldn't have to hot shot the title onto them either.

Banhammered. EDIT: Man, my signature fucking sucks. Somone needs to hook me up. EDIT2: I guess I can't grow tired of it being blank.... EDIT3: All over it.

So, I clicked on your profile and you don't have any information. Are you a gimmick? No way someone could stir up that much shit with their first ten posts. I'm not high on Mysterio either, never have been, however you could've presented yourself in a more conductive manner.

I'm blaming it on Christian, Shelton, Jericho & HHH all losing. Maybe not HHH as much as the other three but who the fuck cares about Kane, Edge & HBK still?

Rey Misterio - Certainly not. It'd be laughable. He looks like a five year old when next to other cruisers. Christian - He wouldn't be the best wrestling champion but he has the charisma to do so. He just couldn't be booked as a serious "I never lose" champion. Edge - I don't see why not. Shelton Benjamin - Same as Edge. Chris Benoit - Sure. He just can't talk. Chris Jericho - Oh yeah. Eddy Guerrero - Yes, and it hits a demographic. Kane - No. He can't talk, work or draw. Big Show - Certainly, especially if booked to be dominant like early Andre or Samoa Joe's ROH World Championship run. I'd never have Big Show lose.

I'm only making the comparison in that Billy Gunn was there for a long time too. So has been The Fink and Earl Hebner. Senority doesn't mean shit in wrestling. Ric Flair in '92 was better than anything that Billy Gunn ever did but just because Gunn was there for a long time that should be taken into account? I'm disputing your second listing of why you think HBK shouldn't get blown out. I won't dispute that HBK is the better worker, although I probably could thanks to his "classic comeback" BS, but listing longevity as if it matters? C'mon. It's like The Man in Blak said: "Unless you are looking by match quality and by match quality only, I personally don't feel there's anyway to not take Rock on this."

How does longevity mean anything? Billy Gunn certainly never did shit.

I don't think it's that close.
