Championships don't even mean what they did just 15 years ago.

Championships don't even mean what they did just 15 years ago. This is true. Also consider this, 1999 is probably the year that put the boots to the WWE Title more than any other. I went off of memory for the title changes themselves but had to look up a few of the dates. Look at this bullcrap. I'm fairly certain they never hot potatoed the WWE Title around more than they did that year. 1/4/99: Mankind over Rock (TV) 1/24/99: Rock over Mankind 1/31/99: Mankind over Rock (TV) 2/15/99: Rock over Mankind (TV) 3/28/99: Austin over Rock 5/23/99: Undertaker over Austin 6/28/99: Austin over Undertaker (TV) 7/25/99: Austin over Undertaker 8/22/99: Mankind over Austin 8/23/99: Triple H over Mankind (TV) 9/16/99: Vince over Triple H (TV) Title vacated 9/26/99: Triple H over Mankind, Rock, Bulldog, Big Show and Kane 11/14/99: Big Show over Triple H

I'm fairly certain they never hot potatoed the WWE Title around more than they did that year. Good point but 1997 was when the title lost it's luster IMO. Let's see if I can do this from memory... Sid was champ at the start of the year HBK wins it at the Rumble, vacates it a month later because he got injured Bret Hart wins a Fatal 4 Way on PPV. Sid wins it the next night on RAW Undertaker beats Sid at WM13 Bret Hart beats Undertaker at SummerSlam HBK beats Bret Hart at Survivor Series (Montreal Screwjob) That's 4 wrestlers holding the title within a calendar year, with 3 of the 4 having multiple reigns within said year I think it would be cool to see Cena lose the title, but then get another shot (re-match clause, etc.). Just when Cena is about to win it back, Flair interferes and costs him the match. They could do this for a few months (kind of like the Ambrose-Rollins MITB case thing they're doing right now). It would at least be funny to see Flair pulling heel antics to save his record.

Now that I think about it, 1998 kind of crapped on the title, as well. Especially when they had the title vacant for two months after that bullcrap at Break Down. Kane losing the title after one night really didn't help matters, either.

Glad I didn't pay to watch it.

All this talk of titles changing hands a lot (or too much) has made me kind of self-conscious about the results in my fed over the last year....

If I ever find the time to post my results, you'll see plenty of title changes. Some that worked out just like I "scripted" and some mot so much. Besides we promoters do not have the benefit of issuing the dice their paychecks, hence, they do what they want, not what they're told!
