who are some wrestlers that you are surprised they've won as many titles as they have?
The first that comes to mind is Barry Windham. I looked through an old book when I was cleaning my room out and was surprised at the amount of titles Widham has won
I even think he should be in the Hall of Fame

Barry Windham was INCREDIBLE. Hugely popular, but I don't think he ever cared enough backstage to get that extra "umph" through polotics that would have made him a legend.

Viscera has a King of the Ring while he was Mable. . .
Kane has about ten Tag Team championships, as does Mick Foley.
Booker has the WCW Grand Slam and more WCW titles than anyone else I think. . .
Raven techincally has more WWE titles than anyone ever I beleive, most of them Hardcore, btw.

Ron Simmons, he was a world champion and a solid worker, but this generation will remember...."Damn!":$

Viscera was 1995 King of the Ring, which should be borught up and ued to make him sort of a mid-card heel threat. Unfortunately, that won't happen.
Gregory Helms has pinned The Rock and Ric Flair, plus he's held the European Championship, two Hardcore Championships, three Cruiserweight Championships and two World Tag Team Championship (both with men over 300lbs). Watching SmackDown!, one would think that winning the Cruiserweight Title and beating Matt Hardy were his only real achievements.
Jeff Hardy, Johnny Nitro, Matt Hardy and William Regal have also done some pretty cool stuff in their careers that is often overlooked. Regal has held something like thirteen Championships in the WWE, has challenged for the IC Title at WrestleMania twice, etc.
Hacksaw Jim Duggan's amateur wrestling background, Royal Rumble win and WCW Title wins are often overlooked. King Booker has held more mainstream Championships in professional wrestling than anyone, I think. He's easily a top tier guy with Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Hulk Hogan and Triple H, even if the market for professional wrestling has dipped.

Dean Malenko aways struck me as underrated due to his size, but always had great mat wrestling ability and accomplished almost everything someone his size could

Yeah. . .he's one of my favorites of all time. Pity that people HAVE to have charisma to go anywhere in this buisness.

Little Guido/Nunzio/Maritato,call him what you will the man is a very well rounded wrestler.The accomplishements Maritato has garnered are varied,but here's a few.When it comes to comedy spots Maritato has had a few,he helped John Cena out at the 2002 Royal Rumble,when Cena spotted Maritato trying to hide outside the ring.In 2005 he dressed as an elf and took a pummeling from the Boogyman.Maritato has also tried to help get over Bobby Lashley,the Boogyman,John Cena,Batista,and was one of the few wrestlers I remember who worked with Zach Gowen.The last thing I want to stress is that while Maritato wasn't a big star on Smackdown he was frequently in the main event on Velocity.
The titles Maritato has held have been the ECW tag titles twice,and the WWE cruiserwieght title twice.

Jeff Hardy is one world title win away from becoming the 7th grandslam champion in WWE history.
An honor held only by HBK, HHH, Jericho, Angle, Eddie and RVD
I believe Val Venis, Jeff Hardly, William Regal and Test are the only four able to win the Grand Slam still.
Not that anyone of them are going to capture the championship.
I was always surprised how many titles Lance Storm won, not that he isn't talented, but 13 major titles with WWE, WCW, ECW is quite a lot.

He was the shit in WCW in it's late years.

Yes, and Christian as well. Jeff Hardy and Christian have the best bet at it happening, but if not it will remain at 6.

Crash Holly has held the hardcore title over twenty times, but in addition to that he also was a tag team, lightheavyweight, and european champion.

Think of how many times Chrisitans been tag champ. As well as multiple time IC and European champion, a lightheavyweight champion, a hardcore champion, and now an NWA heavyweight champion.

If it was the Original NWA title, then he would be a Grand Slam Champ. This new NWA title means Fuck All. I mean, Rhyno held it
Hell, Rhyno was the last TV and World champ for the 3rd biggest company of the last 20 years. He was also TNA Champ, and Hardcore champ right? Maybe even WWE tag?

I'd say Grandslam champion requires it happening in one company.

He was also the US champion in WWE sometime during the Invasion angle. I don't know what else he's held.
