People will always say he got all these title reigns because of who he married. Truth is for the most part he has deserved a lot of them, he truly is damn talented, but clearly he has been given wins and spots that he shouldn't of. I mean I'm guessing it was his "Power" that led to him and Jericho headlining over Rock and Hogan.
As for people wanting longer reigns, then slating his 02/03 one. It wasn't the length, it was the fact that so many of his matches/title defences were horrendous. vs. Nash, Steiner, Booker T, Goldberg.....
....although at least HBK got some good matches out of him during that time.
