From the start of Summerslam to the end of Unforgiven, we had 4 champions and a vacancy. More memorable moments happened during these 5 weeks, than happened in Wyatt or Orton's seven week reigns.
Why is modern WWE so slow and plodding

They don't progress plots or do anything special outside PPVs anymore.
Their entire booking process is now based ENTIRELY around PPVs in hopes of getting people to buy the WWE Network so they'll see what happens.

Okay but
>Raw after Summerslam
>Triple H beats Mankind with Shane as ref to become champion

These are kinda bad. In fact that whole thing is just a weird circuitous string of hotshots to get the title on Triple H. Twice.

Austin refused to put over Gaytch. Mankind was usually inserted in to either win or get the fall.
>>
>>2761747
I get that, but even then
1) Even if he was a belt pillow, they coulda waited more than ONE NIGHT to beat Mankind.
2) There's still like two or three unnecessary steps in there that just ping the belt around for the sake of pinging it around.

Well the simplest explanation was that title changes always resulted in bigger ratings. Which is why WCW had like 22 in 2000. Why WWE felt to do it in 1999 when WCW was no longer a threat, I dunno.

Was Russo still booking when Vince became WWF champion? I wonder if he was behind that.
I've heard conflicting rumours whether or not he was involved in booking the main event scene

When was the last time the Title changed hands on a regular show?

Unfortunately this. Some guy doesn't like some guy so they fight at a bi weekly ppv... repeat. No real stories just guy vs guy.

He left for WCW in 1999, I think in the summer.

Except NOTHING happens at PPVs either!! They are all glorified RAWs and are just filler until Wrestlemania.
So no, their entire booking process is based ENTIREY around ONE SHOW in hopes to getting people to buy the WWE Network to trick the stock holders and advertisers.

Wasn't it the time Sheamus cashed in on Roman? Or I'm wrong.
>>
>>2762800
No
It was the night after TLC when Roman beat Sheamus, I think Vince was guest ref or something
