Greatest Champions...

[The One]

Who do you think have been the best Champs. I am not saying they mayb have been the besy wrestlers, but who put the titles over the best? You can pick any title, just say who made the belt seem the most worth while...

I'll start with an easy one, Rob Van Dam was the best thing to ever happen to the ECW Television Championship...

[neuicon]

Kurt Angle, of course, Chris Benoit, Bret Hart, Eddie Guererro, Macho King Randy Savage, Ric Flair, The Rock, Triple H (When he was fit), Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels...

...and those were all WWF Champions. That's right, with the "F"!!

[The One]

You kind of listed a lot of guys, I was looking for more who did the most to elevate the specific title...which not to be a pain in the ass, Benoit never held the WWF Championship, and Ric Flair (as much as I do love him) did jack shit to increase the value of the belt.

Also if your making a big deal about the "WWF" then Eddie never held it either...

[McLegend]

I'm gonna stay with ECW and the same title, and say Tazz, becasue thats when I started to love him, and take notice of him.

[Flair Wooo]

Bret Hart :y: :D

[The One]

Scott Hall = Best. Intercontinental. Champ. Ever.

[St. Jimmy]

Steve Corino was a really great champion in the ending days of ECW.

[McLegend]

Gonna have to say HBK is th best IC champion ever, but Scott Hall is a good choice.

[Flair Wooo]

Nah honky tonk man = Best ic champ ever :D

[Flair Wooo]

Or Curt Hennig disgrace he never won the big one.

[St. Jimmy]

Rick Rude, obv. =/

[redoneja]

Samoa Joe for the ROH World Heavyweight Championship
Booker T for the WCW World Television Title
Dean Malenko and Rey Mysterio for the WCW Crusierweight Championship

[The One]

Arn & Tully...easily the best NWA Tag Team Champs of all time.

[Bad Company]

Lance storm and the Saskatchewan Hardcore International Title

[The One]

I know it's unpopular, but Goldberg might very well be the best WCW United States Champ ever...

[The One]

Oh and I am going to vote for Shane Douglas as the best ECW World Champ ever...

[St. Jimmy]

Douglas or Funk. Definatly one of the two.

[redoneja]

For best ECW World Champion I have to go with Shane Douglas, even though I'm not a big fan of his.

[The One]

Screw it...I've got time...here we go...

WWE
WWE/World: Bret Hart (Steve Austin close second, not so much for his reigns, but more for his quests to get it)
IC/US: Scott Hall
Euro: William Regal
Hardcore: Al Snow
Tag: New Age Outlaws

WCW
World: Ric Flair
US: Goldberg
TV: Booker
Hardcore: Never had a credible champ
Tag: Never had anyone who made me care about the titles...

ECW
World: Shane Douglas
TV: Rob Van Dam
Tag: Eliminators

NWA
World: Ric Flair (Harley Race is damn close though)
TV: Tully Blanchard
Tag: Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard
TNA-X: Samoa Joe (damn it pains me to say that, but he gets people into the X Title)

[neuicon]

You kind of listed a lot of guys, I was looking for more who did the most to elevate the specific title...which not to be a pain in the ass, Benoit never held the WWF Championship, and Ric Flair (as much as I do love him) did jack shit to increase the value of the belt.

Also if your making a big deal about the "WWF" then Eddie never held it either...

LOL!! Yer right... ...yeah, I thought ahead of myself. Sorry mate...

One Superstar for me would just have to be Kurt Angle. The guys showed us that coming into the business, he picked up quickly and learned the styles needed to bring to the WW"F"... ...LOL!!

Kurt held it strongly, and does a great job with promos, his skills are far greater than most in the business today and then for that matter.

Kurt also does a great job putting others over in the ring, and also goes to far lengths to take care of those he faces as well.

So for me if it was one... ...would be Kurt Angle.

[Zen v.W.o.]

British Bulldog was easily the greatest European champion of all time.

That would be the easiest title for me to decide upon.

ECW:

TV: Rob Van Dam
Tag: Impact Players

[Loose Cannon]

I dunno One. I would make the same exact argument for the Ultimate Warrior/IC Title that you would probably make for Goldberg/US Title. I agree with you on Goldberg. To me, Warrior made that IC Belt seem as big as The World Title. Same with Goldberg.

Other easy choices for me

Crusier: Jericho
Euro: Bulldog
TV: Tully

[The One]

Warrior was a FANTASTIC IC Champ. Personally I think Hall was far better, but no doubt he elevated the title a lot.

While we are on it I think Warrior is one of the most under appreciated wrestlers of all time by Smarks.

[Loose Cannon]

I think I just hated 1995 so much that Hall's reign will always suffer with me. He was a great champ though.

[The One]

Hall made the IC Title look better then the World Title...not to hard when Diesel is the World Champ, but still.

You loved the NEW Harlem Heat, and yet one half of the team you think is stupid, meanwhile you laugh at the idea of someone listing Booker T & Stevie Ray as the best ever?

[Flair Wooo]

Lol :D

[Johnny Vegas]

Yea, i am not going to list yet, but DDP was the best US champion EVER. His fued with Raven/Benoit and the Uncensored match '98 = classic.

[Pinnacle Charisma]

Austin reign in 2001 was very good. He helped elevate Angle, Jericho and Benoit and was the only intresting thing about the whole invasion.

[neuicon]

You loved the NEW Harlem Heat, and yet one half of the team you think is stupid, meanwhile you laugh at the idea of someone listing Booker T & Stevie Ray as the best ever?

LOL!! Did you NOT notice the "LOL" after the fact, and the "STUPID AHMED JOHNSON" at the end of the sentence!?

LOL!! I was being sarcastic, man.
