Who deserves to be a World Champion but never has

Recommended Posts

Was just wondering guys, out of the current crop of wrestlers, who, in your opinion has never been the big champion of a brand or company but should be?

 

Do you think that this wrestler will ever make it? Why does he deserve it? Why will he make it/wont make it?

 

DISCUSS.

RVD.

 

He's charasmatic, and entertaining, and I think that he could be good as Champion, if even only as a transition champ. For some odd reason, though, I see him with the World title, not the WWE title.

Rey Mysterio.

 

I'd love Christopher Daniels to win the NWA title.

Discounting his ECW World Title reign, I would say Mike Awesome.

 

The guy has a great look, is talented, and can easily get over with any crowd. He was wasted in WCW though, and crappily booked in WWF for stupid reasons. Maybe his performance at ECW One Night Stand will make WWE take another look at him.

Rey Mysterio has the talent and the popularity, and he's passable on the mic, but he will almost guaranteed never be the world champ because he's so small. London might be in this predicament soon too, I'm not sure he's over enough with the marks. Charlie Haas could be someone the company could build upon, I think, if they either reunited him with Shelton, or at least got him away from Hardcore. I must admit, Holly is crazy over, but he just isn't a good mix with Haas' style. Haas could be their new Angle, except he's younger and doesn't have a neck that could give out at any second.

Yeah Benjamin and Haas could be on top of the company, pulling out good matches with everyone while you have a bad wrestler but crazy over guy like John Cena popping up the buyrates.

WWE --> Haas, Mysterio.

ROH --> Jimmy Rave, AJ Styles. (would of been Punk, until DBD 3)

TNA --> Chris Sabin, Christopher Daniels, Michael Shane. (would of been just Raven, until Slammiversary)

WCW --> Alex Wright, Brian Pillman.

WWF --> Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude.

I don't even see size as any reason to not give Rey the belt for at least a few months as crazy over as he is and pretty much always has been...I've mentioned it ad naseum, but I think they could pull some decent buyrates in with that guy as champ for no more than 6 months...of course now that Angle and Cena have moved to Raw, that may no longer be the case...

I can't really think of anybody active who hasn't been a world champ that would really deserve to be.

 

Maybe Van Dam. He was the first one that came to mind anyway. I feel like I'm forgetting someone though.

Rick Rude, WCW or WWF, he should have had the top strap in either one of them.

Rick Rude held the NWA World Title WCW International World Heavyweight Title.

 

Shelton and Haas are nowhere near ready to "deserve to be a World Champion", IMO.

 

Goldust? LOL.

 

Owen was never ready to be the top guy.

Christian is not ready.

 

Arn Anderson as World Champion?

 

Mr. Perfect was never a true main eventer, much less a serious World Title contender.

 

******

 

The question was who DESERVES (or deserved). not "who would it have been cool to see carry the strap" ?

RVD - Hands-Down the most over guy in WWE during the Invasion, and he was supposed to be a heel. Above-average on the mic, and can bump like a madman. Myself, and 99% of the WWE fans love this guy. A 3-4 month title reign, just as an experiement would be great.

 

I think with the right push, and if properly booked, Val Venis could become a strong main-eventer. Just drop the silly pornstar gimmick, and let him go by his real name. Just book him better than he was in 2003. He can wrestle very well, and can put on a good match with just about anyone.

I keep seeing Rick Rude's name a lot, wasn't he the "WCW International (2nd Rate, Finally Got our other belt back) World Champion" back in 1994???

Does that count? Anyhow how about Scott Hall in late '94-'95 in WWF, was over a lot in my opinion. And also Ted DiBiase
