Alrighty then. Irregardless of Andre having the WWF title, he still remained on top of the wrestling world for the majority of his career. He remained on top because he was a novelty act, so Space Cowboy's logic of Braun not being able to do the same because he's an apparent novelty act doesn't compute.
Brock is a novelty act too, and he doesn't need a title in order to remain on top. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Braun could fulfil a similar role in his career. Titles are just props, if WWE want someone to remain on top without giving them one then they can easily do it.
