And am I a fan of Goldberg and Hogan? No. As for Austin, he has dropped many matches in PPV's, interference not withstanding. Also, Austin has spent most of his career as a face. Its his JOB to win the title from guys like HHH. HHH is a heel... a HEEL. Its his job to make the faces look good and bring them heat. All he does is kill the heat of EVERY WRESTLER HE GOES UP AGAINST. Please name me the last time HHH dropped a title on a PPV.

Yeah, Austin lost at WM, big deal, that's why his carrer almost ended because he didn't want to lose to Brock or Hall. Given the power that HHH posseses, most wrestlers would end up just like him... winning every match they feel in thier head it makes sense for them to win, and rarely ever losing.

What "makes sense" to you is frustrating and boring to everyone else. His matches suck. No one really cares about them because he can barely work anymore and he NEVER LOSES. Why care about a match when you know who's going to win in the end?
The entire build up for wrestlemenia was perfect for Booker T to win the title. The crowd was READY for Booker T to win the title. They WANTED him to win the title. Any booker in their right mind would have put the title on him that night and crown a new champion that the fans have been begging for. What did we get? The same old thing from the same old HHH. Hell, he even made sure to wait a long time to cover Booker to make sure he sucked any heat that Booker may have had out of his dead carcass. Oh, and BTW, HHH's Ric Flair impersonation doesn't help him out either.
Its almost as if HHH's job is to kill all up and coming talent in the WWE. The gets paired up against all the rising stars and newcomers (Jericho, RVD, Booker T, Steiner (ok, he sucks but still...), "name your superstar here") and squashes them, and then watches as they filter back down to the mid card.
I sat in my livingroom during wrestlemania and waited for Booker T to win. Finally HHH was going to do what was right for the business. All the signs were there and the timing was perfect.
What I got was a feeling that nothing is ever going to change at the top of the card. And we wonder why business is down.
