>>9395002I don't think the point was ever to make him a big star, it was just that he was a safe choie because nobody was likely to offer him big money to leave like had happened with Taz and Awesome. Sabu and Raven were gone (and Raven only rejoined ECW as a layover until his WCW no compete ran out and he could sign with WWF). RVD worked infrequently because Heyman owed him money or else he probably would have gotten it. Dreamer never wanted the belt as he thought his character worked better always chasing or being screwed over.
There really wasn't anyone else to put it on. I guess they could have elevated Balls, Spike, or Nova but I don't think it mattered much by the time Credible won the belt.
