Guest JaKyL25 Report post Posted July 27, 2002 *DISCLAIMER--I am counting the WCW title as existing from 1991 until 2001, with Chris Jericho considered as the last Champion when he defeated The Rock at Vengeance '01. If you disagree, feel free to say so, but that's how I count it. Rankings are determined by number of title reigns, with my opinion on which champion had more of an impact as tiebreakers. Okay, since 22 Men held the WCW Championship, which is a very odd number to do tournaments with, the #1-#10 seeds all make it into the next round, with seeds #11-#22 duking it out for the last 6 slots in round 2. Here are seeds #1-10, who all get byes to round 2: #1-Ric Flair #2-Sting #3-Hollywood/Hulk Hogan #4-Booker T #5-Kevin Nash #6-Jeff Jarrett #7-Randy Savage #8-Big Van Vader #9-Dallas Page #10-Lex Luger Here are the 6 Round 1 matches: #11-The Rock vs. #22-Vince Russo #12-Chris Jericho vs. #21-David Arquette #13-Bret Hart vs. #20-Kurt Angle #14-Bill Goldberg vs. #19-Chris Benoit #15-Scott Steiner vs. #18-Ron Simmons #16-The Giant vs. #17-Sid Voting Starts Now, and lasts until After Raw this Monday.

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted July 27, 2002 This is sad...but since I don't personally count WWE wrestlers winning the WCW title as legit world championship reigns... Vince Russo David Arquette Bret Hart Goldberg Ron Simmons Giant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted July 27, 2002 I echo Bps's statement about the WWE guys winning the ex-WCW title. Russo Arquette Hart Simmons Goldberg Giant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JaKyL25 Report post Posted July 27, 2002 Just to toss in a word, I kinda expected some controversy over the WWF wrestlers winning the WCW title, but I figure that it's the same title belt, no matter where it's defended. The fact that it was defended against WWF wrestlers too kinda makes it MORE of a world title in a way. Okay, that sounds silly, but it's late. Bottom line is that I count the WWF guys since Vince owned the company, and tried to make it appear as if it was still a separate company, so therefore I count the title reigns. What I AM surprised to see are the amount of Simmons over Steiner votes. Was I the only one that thoroughly enjoyed the Magnificent Seven angle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted July 27, 2002 The difference is that they (Angle, Rock and Jericho) didn't have to work their way to the top of that company to win the belt. Thats also why I don't consider those three to be double champions (people who have won both WCW and WWE titles) because they won them from the same promoter in the same company.
