why?
neither were legit main eventers and road dogg would've failed worse...road dogg's ceiling was that of hardcore champ and / or unconvincing IC champ. Billy gunn's ceiling was that of okay IC champ and straight garbage main eventer [and he didn't even get there]
neither belonged at the top of the card. Not with Austin, Rock, Angle, Taker, Kane, Mankind, HHH all alive. hell, BRADSHAW proved over the years he was a better choice than billy or road dogg.
And plus
SYXX was more over than BOTH OF THEM in WCW AND in WWF
