I will say that he was given some fucking great angles though. Stuff that would have been better for someone else but that I have very fond memories of.
That best of 5 matches to get a title shot angle is possibly my favourite non PPV show ever.
I couldn't have enjoyed that if the matches and the atmosphere were off in any major way.
I still think that angle would have been dynamite for Foley, Austin or The Rock though. A one night, 5 match run against 5 main eventer just to earn a shot at the belt. A heel running the gauntlet seems odd.
