We were spoiled with Rock/HHH/SCSA/Mick/Taker. Writers did a good job of having them at the top and not always* involved in a title hunt.

Very true. At least with HHH though they didn't keep him there until after Rock and Austin were gone. He didn't really get into the title picture until mid '99 after he left DX and finished up his feud with Rock to get that title shot at Summerslam. Once he won it, he spent from August of '99 until about June of '00 in the title picture. He got that shot at Summerslam '00 with Rock and Angle, but I don't think anybody considered him a real threat to win the title at that point as him being in that match was more about him and Angle's feud over Stephanie than the title. He stayed out of the title picture until he came back in '02, now granted that could be largely because of his injury in mid '01, as it looked like they were planting seeds for he and Austin's split when he lost his IC title to Kane.

Bottom line though, I think back then with the booking of those guys shows that what Vince is missing now is actual wrestling writers booking things as opposed to his legion of overpriced Hollywood writers who really don't get the business and how to write wrestling stories for the entire roster.

This makes me feel so old. I was 12 when this happened. Time flies.

Also 20 years ago that Brian Pillman passed away.

Man, HBK doesn't mess around when he bleeds. Reminds me of when Vince was losing a ton blood during his WM match vs Hogan.
