@ Airfixx, I wouldn't say Im down with Takers reign, but I do love Taker and h8 Punk, so if I had to pick either, or....... you see what I'm saying.
In truth, who else should b champ? (Barring Punk of course) Who do you reckon is another viable, legitiment choice.
Oh, and when Shawn had his hissy fits, and wanted to always be in the limelight, and Rock was a bad mothafucka with his crew behind him, they were two of my alltime favourite heel characters.
Plus, I'd saythey were preety dominant. Couldn't tell you of the top of my head how long either of them held the title at those times, but they were certainly there or there abouts.
