Guest alfdogg Report post Posted July 21, 2002 *1* Bruno Sammartino and *2* Hulk Hogan get byes. *3* Bob Backlund vs *30* Andre the Giant *4* Bret Hart vs *29* Kane *5* Steve Austin vs *28* Vince McMahon *6* Pedro Morales vs *27* Antonio Inoki *7* The Rock vs *26* Stan Stasiak *8* HHH vs *25* Buddy Rogers *9* Randy Savage vs *24* Ivan Koloff *10* Shawn Michaels vs *23* Iron Sheik *11* Undertaker vs *22* Big Show *12* Yokozuna vs *21* Sgt. Slaughter *13* Diesel vs *20* Sid *14* Superstar Graham vs *19* Chris Jericho *15* Ultimate Warrior vs *18* Ric Flair *16* Mick Foley vs *17* Kurt Angle The finals over at Vanilla Midgets is Austin vs Backlund. We voted on who was the better champion instead of who we liked more. That being said, some hell was raised over Flair making the semis. I just posted the finals over there, so there probably isn't any votes yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheHulkster Report post Posted July 21, 2002 *3* Bob Backlund vs *30* Andre the Giant Winner: Backlund (He held it for 6 years excluding the phantom Inoki title switch that wasn't supposed to happen. Andre held it for about 30 seconds.) *4* Bret Hart vs *29* Kane Winner: Bret easily *5* Steve Austin vs *28* Vince McMahon Winner: Austin *6* Pedro Morales vs *27* Antonio Inoki Winner: Pedro (While Inoki is an icon in this business, as a WWWF champion, Pedro meant more) *7* The Rock vs *26* Stan Stasiak Winner: The Rock *8* HHH vs *25* Buddy Rogers Winner: HHH (I would like to go with Rogers as a personal pick, and as a performer, he blows HHH away, but his run was really brief.) *9* Randy Savage vs *24* Ivan Koloff Winner: Savage *10* Shawn Michaels vs *23* Iron Sheik Winner: Michaels *11* Undertaker vs *22* Big Show Winner: Taker *12* Yokozuna vs *21* Sgt. Slaughter Winner: Yoko (Probably the toughest out of the bunch to pick, but Yoko was the most dominant and longest reigning heel champ since the 70's at that point.) *13* Diesel vs *20* Sid Winner: Diesel *14* Superstar Graham vs *19* Chris Jericho Winner: Superstar Graham (When Graham was the champ, he was the man in the fed and a heat magnet. When Jericho was the champ, he was probably the #2 or #3 most over heel and was poorly marketed.) *15* Ultimate Warrior vs *18* Ric Flair Winner: Warrior (Flair can work circles around the Warrior, but the Warrior's reign as champ left more of an impact. Flair's reigns were brief and not as eventful.) *16* Mick Foley vs *17* Kurt Angle Winner: Foley (Probably the 2nd toughest one to chose, but Angle's reigns didn't really impact business at all.)

Guest AM The Kid Report post Posted July 21, 2002 *3* Bob Backlund (He held it forever and was the last of the old-time champions) *4* Bret Hart (Of course) *5* Steve Austin (It's a "duh" moment) *6* Pedro Morales (His time with the belt seemed successful) *7* The Rock (I don't wanna, but I have to) *8* Buddy *9* Randy Savage (Yep) *10* Shawn Michaels (Micheal's carried the company with Bret for three years. Great champ.) *11* Undertaker (No-brainer) *21* Sgt. Slaughter (Great heel playing off Hogan) *13* Diesel (Good champion) *14* Superstar Graham (Sorry Jericho) *15* Ultimate Warrior (He was a much more memorable champion than Flair) *16* Mick Foley (Had alot more impact than Kurt's championships, sentimental value) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slaughter WINNER: Slaughter. A great heel who should have had the belt longer. Made the title mean something again after Warrior's horrible run. *13* Diesel vs *20* Sid WINNER: Sid. Diesel did more to damage the WWF as champ, than any other wrestler. Diesel is the WORST champ ever, including Vince. *14* Superstar Graham vs *19* Chris Jericho WINNER: Graham. *15* Ultimate Warrior vs *18* Ric Flair WINNER: Ric Flair. Warrior killed the title during his run. *16* Mick Foley vs *17* Kurt Angle WINNER: Angle. Mick's title runs were just a lifetime achievement of sorts. Angle actually made a pretty good champ the first time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted July 22, 2002 Someone should do one of these for WCW and ECW champions. Anyway... Backlund over Andre Bret Hart over Kane Stone Cold over Vince (Why the fuck is Vince ranked above anyone? At least with Kane and Andre, there was the believability that they could win the title fairly and maybe even hold it for a while.) Pedro Morales over Inoki The Rock over Planet Stasiak Part I Triple H over Buddy Rogers Macho Man over Koloff HBK over Sheik 'Taker over Big Show (although Show's reign wasn't as bad as everyone says it was) Yokozuna over Slaughter Sid over Diesel Jericho over Scott Steiner--er, I mean Superstar Graham Warrior over Flair (former Warrior mark that I am) Foley over Angle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taker! *12* Yokozuna vs *21* Sgt.

Superstar *15* Ultimate Warrior vs *18* Ric Flair Winner: Tough one. I'll say Ric, because I wasn't really watching during Warrior's reign. *16* Mick Foley vs *17* Kurt Angle Winner: Kurt's the better wrestler, Mick's more "legendary" if I can say that...but all their reigns were terrible. But if I had to choose one, I'd go with Kurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest raptor Report post Posted July 25, 2002 Bob Backlund d. Andre the Giant Why: Andre's run was a joke Bret Hart d. Kane Why: C'mon... Steve Austin d. Vince McMahon Why: These match-ups are just sad Pedro Morales d. Antonio Inoki Why: I don't know a whole lot about either, but Pedro was so amazingly over... The Rock d. Stan Stasiak Why: Stasiak was a great champ, but Rock was the number one guy during wrestling's biggest boom Buddy Rogers d. HHH Why: Buddy's reign created the WWWF. Randy Savage d. Ivan Koloff Why: Koloff's reign was pretty weak, IMHO Shawn Michaels d. Iron Sheik Why: Sheik was a transitional champ, Michael was the future. Undertaker d. Big Show Why: Undertaker dethroned Hogan, Big Show rode his dad's casket Sgt. Slaughter d. Yokozuna Why: This was a tough one. Say what you will about the taste involved in Slaughter's run, but the heat was pretty unreal. Diesel d. Sid Why: DIESELMANIA RUNNING WILD!!! Chris Jericho d. Superstar Graham Why:Jericho is the most prolific undisputed champ, which is kind of sad, but deserves recognition Ric Flair d. Ultimate Warrior Why: I think that the angle encompassing Flair's win was much better than Warrior's Kurt Angle d. Mick Foley Why: Mick was fun, but Kurt's was longer, and he the matches were much better on average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
