Guest NewYorkFox Report post Posted June 16, 2005 While watching Raw Monday, when the WWE title match was still Cena/Christian, I had a breif question. How many wrestlers who had a one-on-one world title match at a PPV have not at one point been world champion, either before or after? The onle ones who spring to mind are RVD and Bob Holly *shudder*, but I'm sure theres plenty more. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NewYorkFox Report post Posted June 16, 2005 Still surprisingly few. Edge had a PPV title shot? And I'm sure Luger held the belt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2005 Well, like I mentioned...what about DiBiase? I'm sure he got at least one or two one-on-one matches for the Championship, but never actually won it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dale Earnhardt Report post Posted June 17, 2005 Ted Dibiase was in the finals of the WWF Championship tournament at WrestleMania 4 so that alone should count. However, do you count the rest of the tournament? They technically had a "shot." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, do you count the rest of the tournament? They technically had a "shot." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not really. They only had a shot to get the shot. The shot, of course, being the finals. So only DiBiase and Savage had the shot, and Savage got the win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slickster 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2005 Ahmed didn't get a singles match for the WWE Title. Luger won the WHC, so he's out. Ditto for Farooq/Ron Simmons.
