The belt did matter back then, even more so, because if you switched companies they could advertise you as a former world champion and therefore you'd win more money.

Conversely people were less likely to want to drop belts because it meant a pay drop and there were fewer of them, though more recognized top belts in different regions. So getting the title was a big deal.

It's not to say that your level of stardom could outshine the belt like it did with Jake or Piper.

If anything, I'd say the reverse. Belts felt way more important than now, unless you think Ramen Rings vs Hunner Hearst for the KFC Galactic Title is compelling television.

Belts only mattered to certain people. Mr Perfect was NEVER going to be a world champion. And he didnt need it. Same for Jake.

The belt was more about the company and not about the superstar

Where did the meme of "What is ________ doing in the Impact Zone?" come from?

Mid 2000's when someone would leave the WWE for whatever reason and usually end up in Orlando, working for TNA, with a different but very similar name and appearance.

What in the fuck? I'm so glad I wasn't watching wrestling during this.

Ah that's what I assumed, I just couldn't think of anyone.
 
Almost certainly late on this, don't care

HHH is a guy that just can't seem to ever rise above good... which given he basically got to book himself a lot you'd think he'd have at least one great match but no he's just good I guess....

BTW my cat Smokey is the greatest cat ever and El Dandy is an incredibly underrated wrestler.
