It's an itneresting thought but I'd like to think that people are able to take a step back and look at his career without bringing the fact he married Stephanie into it.
People say that there should be longer World Title reigns but complained when he held it for nine months in 2002/3. I wonder if they would have complained so much if he hadn't been married to her/it had been another guy holding the title??
I agree that his marriage has probably led to a lot of poeple having a negative view of him but hopefully they do remember that he was a main event guy anyway.
