Oh lets just retroactively give anyone a title run because it sure does make modern wrestling so good when they hotshot the belt every 5 minutes
None of these people should've got runs with the belt, especially not Jake
Not Andre
Not Piper
Not Hennig
Not Davey
But especially not Jake
Dibiase getting to keep the belt at The Main Event and losing it to Macho Man at Wrestlemania IV wouldve been better than the tournament but other than that the WWF title was booked perfectly
Yea lets have Hogan lose it every 3 weeks to some random heel that will make things so awesome
It will destroy his invincibility, ruin him as a mainstream star and completely kill the greatest storyline in pro wrestling history and rob us all of the amazing spectacle that was Wrestlemania III
Did you people even watch back then or are you a buncha fuckin dumb ass kids who just wanna ruin shit with your idiocy
Oh you fuckin assholes got my blood boiling

Having Hogan do the occasional job(and by occassional, I mean once per year, if that), would've built a bigger house the next time around, and made for much better angles in retrospect. Would it have made a positive difference in how much they drew? Who knows. But having Piper or Andre get a good heel run with the belt would not have slowed down the Hulkamania gravy train, and likely would've helped generate more interest in Hogan getting the belt back.
Rude should have beaten the Warrior for the belt only to lose it shortly thereafter, maybe a summer slam-survivor series run, or even summer slam to rumble. They bet on the wrong horse in that feud, even with the career ending injuries, Rude was better for longer. That would have spared us Sergeant Slaughter with the belt in 91, he was an inferior talent by that point.
A huge part of Hogans appeal was that he was invincible, a "real life" Superman that was able to beat every evildoer and supervillian that tried to topple himHaving Hogan do the occasional job(and by occassional, I mean once per year, if that), would've built a bigger house the next time around, and made for much better angles in retrospect.

Once you take that away from him its gone forever
93,173 people dont pack the Pontiac Silverdome to see if the insane unstoppable monster Andre The Giant can finally be the one to beat Hulk Hogan if they've already seen him lose twice before , not to mention all the mainstream media coverage that evaporates instantly once the aura disappears

A good face and especially a Hogan can take a screw job loss. Then again maybe not, Goldberg’s loss destroyed him BUT there were other factors.
The Ravishing One. Rick Rude
His work in WCW was great
I think most view Owen the same way you do but when people mention Owen possibly getting a brief transitional run, I think most are referring to 1994. That is the only time I could buy Owen as a brief champ because he was riding the high of the mania victory over Bret and the Kotr win that summer. Owen could have gotten a sneaky title win that summer and then Bret regains at Summerslam in the cage.i always see owen mentioned and i dont get it. maybe its because of the way he died that he gets elevated higher than he might have in the eyes of people. i never viewed him as a top talent or anything special. i certainly never looked at him as more than a fringe intercontinental champion. i thought he belonged more as a curtain jerker than a main event guy. i think his last name also helped him. and maybe i am wrong, but there is nothing wwf ever did that gave me the impression they felt any other way than the way i did.

Rick Rude was WCW world champ in the early 1990s, but should have had bigger runs, agreed
