zyn081 Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 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.
CanadianGuitarist Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 Can I get away with saying Jericho, whose Undisputed champ reign was pissed away? Other than that, no current wrestler jumps to mind.
David Blazenwing Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 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.
Team Angle Pusher Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 Booker T. He came IN with the World Title but never really hold it IMO.
zyn081 Posted June 19, 2005 Author Report Posted June 19, 2005 Booker T. He came IN with the World Title but never really hold it IMO. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Didnt he hold 5 times in WCW? Your missing the point guys, dont restrict yourselfs to WWE. So far we have 1, RVD.
Guest JesusJuiced Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 Rey Mysterio. I'd love Christopher Daniels to win the NWA title.
Dobbs 3K Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 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.
Masked Man of Mystery Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 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.
Team Angle Pusher Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 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.
natey2k4 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 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.
Black Lushus Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 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...
Carnival Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 WWE ---> Mysterio, RVD, Christian TNA ----> Daniels eventually ROH ---> American Dragon past WCW ---> Lance Storm WWF ---> Ted DiBiase, Mr. Perfect

Black Lushus Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 how the hell do YOU have access to ROH stuff and I don't? the net? tape trading?
Slingshot Suplex Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 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.
Carnival Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 how the hell do YOU have access to ROH stuff and I don't? the net? tape trading? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Time Warner baby! just kidding. the net, I just DL shows whenever i can. I don't watch that much of it. I usually a few months behind on actually seeing the shows.
Guest Rex Cutter Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 Rick Rude, WCW or WWF, he should have had the top strap in either one of them.
The Mandarin Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 Top 10- Curt Hennig (WWF) Owen Hart (WWF) Roddy Piper (WWF) Ted DiBiase (WWF, NWA) Goldust (WWE, WCW) Rick Rude (WWF, WCW) RVD (WWE, ECW) Lance Storm (WCW) Christian (WWE) Arn Anderson (WCW, NWA)-Edge (WWE) tie
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 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" ?
Shooting Star Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 Curt Henning Ted Dibiase RVD Arn Anderson I really love Christopher Daniels in a completely platonic way but hasn't he been world champion before? I think ECWA and 3PW
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 That had to be a sarcastic post.
haws bah gawd Posted July 5, 2005 Report Posted July 5, 2005 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.
hbkhhhmark4life Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 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
Guest J0bber Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Mr. Perfect clearly deserved to hold the belt in the early 90's.
