Didn't Rave get wins over Punk fairly? I know him and Shelley got some fair tag match wins too. |
If you're going to be a champion for as long as Savage was (Roughly 26 months in total) you're going to have to be booked as a talented wrestler unless you're a rare exception (See: Layfield, John Bradshaw). Savage cheating was like a slap in the face of all the wrestlers he's faced. It's almost as if he's saying "Yeah, I can beat you cleanly, but I'm going to cheat just for lolz." That's a major heel move in my opinion.
Rave did get a few wins over Punk, but they were never clean. Nana and the Embassy kept interfering which is why their blow off match was inside of a steel cage.
