Greatest wrestler to never hold a title in a major promotion
 

Who do you think is the greatest male wrestler never hold a title in a major promotion (who was in a major promotion)? This includes WCW, WWE, ECW, TNA, ROH and the NWA. Not one title, tag included.

The only exception I will make is the WWF Hardcore Championship. They can have held that as almost everyone below the main event held that in the WWF.

Jake the Snake Roberts

Seconded.

He was probably one of the top of my favorite wrestlers from that era, but then when I saw his addiction in Beyond The Mat I became very very sad, but that was that era and that's how some things went.

I mean how many people loved Motley Crue during the 80's but didn't know about their massive drug use backstage?

Did Rick Martel hold any titles? I'm thinking he did back in the AWA but no so sure. I'll rep your fucking brains out for some truth.

He won the TV title in WCW

Damnit.

Martel was underused as hell. I don't think he won the TV title btw he was supposed to forgot his gear or something, and then Booker won it. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's how it went down.

Pretty sure I remember seeing Martel with the title near the end of WCW.

If that is the case then I nominate Rick Martel for this.

Nominate him for what? He won a major title. He doesn't count.

My predicitions is that I don't see many other big names on this list.

Damn this is a tough thread.

I know! I can't really think of anyone other than Jake, though at first I thought he had an IC run back in the day, but I guess I was wrong.

Jimmy Snuka?

this is hard

how about vampiro, he was a decent enough wrestler and he had quite a push during wcw 2000

The only person I can think of who didn't hold a title in WCW or WWF that's worth mentioning is Dusty Rhodes but he won titles in NWA so he doesn't count.

Read Chris Jericho's book. I'll acccept his opinion on vampiro as fact because its fucking Chris Jericho. In that case I would not nominate Vampiro for anything more than being a toolbag.

He won some NWA titles.

What about Kanyon.

Again, now we are just naming random mid carders who we know were not even really title worthy.

Finding the true "gems" will be a daunting task.


So , no, Kanyon is not the greatest of anything.

Snuka was also the ECW Champion.

knowitall...How about you come up with one then hotshot.

Kanyon won a ton of titles anyway

Koko B. Ware?

Did he tag team with Orlando Jordan ?

Such as?

King Kong Bundy!

Obviously it's Aaron Awesome

This is a thread for learned posters. Take your hillbilly bullcrap elsewhere.

STEVE BLACKMAN, of course.

Was going to say A-Train but forgot he was IC champion.

While he should not be considered in the "greatest" category I give you major props for him coming to your mind.

He is the closest thing WWE will ever see to chuck norris. <3

ooooh thats a good one

Well, TECHNICALLY.....

is this counting just world titles?

thats reminds me

Jerry Flynn

All titles outside of the WWF Hardcore Championship.

lol why not the hardcore title? it's still a title.

Too saturated with useless wins.

I also thought about excluding tag titles. If you want to, go ahead. Definitely broadens things.

Scotty too Hotty then!

He held the lightweight title

Ted Dibiase

If not counting tag titles then yeah Dibiase no question.

Damn this is hard, Charlie Haas (OBVIOUSLY excluding the Tag Belts)

Hassan never got any sort of belt did he? Though I'm not sure his character would be able to take part in a "greatest" category due to its briefness.

Ummmmmmm this is a tough question. I think "World" title would be much easier cause you could squeeze Mr.Perfect and Scott Hall in there.

Also when you think about it, Arn Anderson never really won a SERIOUS TITLE that wasn't a tag team strap.

Yeah this would be easier narrowed down to World titles

I know Haas was only there for a short time I was going more on his ability as most on here agree that Haas was an extremely talented horribly misused wrestler but I suppose that statement could be attributed to a lot of WWE talent over the years.


Lanny Poffo comes to mind

We've done the "only world titles" deal. That's why I went this way.

With only world, we almost always get the same answer. DiBiase or Perfect.

Oh ok didn't know that sorry

True! Oh well anyone I can think of (Kamala, Tomko etc) are not worth the mention for contention here.

Rick Martel was the AWA World Heavyweight champion.

I thought so....Thanks to midnight showings on ESPN a few years back.

If this was just major titles, I'd go for The Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase. I would of said Hennig, but I think he has a mini run with the AWA heavyweight strap.

But if it's anyone who hasn't ever had a belt really... ummm...

Brian Pillman?

Perfect was IC champion and that was a predominant championship in those days.

Earthquake

Mabel/Viscera/BigDaddyV - Staying power.

Now that I think again, I liked Stevie Richards at one point (RTC was original, not necessarily good). He never held anything apart from the hardcore title.

Another thing you could add is just singles titles, because if it was just singles titles that wrestler hadn't won then you can add a lot of tag team partners that never got the same push as their partner.

Such as Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, I.R.S and Bam Bam Bigelow. I wanted to add Marty Janetty, but I realized he won an IC title in 1993

Curt Hennig, William Regal, Gregory Helms, D'Lo Brown, & Rene Dupree those are a just a few guys that come to mind right off the top of my head.

Aside from the fact that they've all held multiple titles

I think you should read the first post

Did Dynamite Kid win any singles gold?

My bad well that really limts the pool as nowadays everyone has had a title of some sort at some point or another especially after the Attitude Era leading up to the Invasion ugh was Marty Janetty ever IC Champ?

FYI, Martel was AWA world champ.

Bad News Brown

bam bam bigelow, never held any wwf/e titles thats some b.s.

I didn't think we were counting AWA to be honest. I knew he was the AWA champ. He was their top gun for a while wasn't he?

:shifty:

Also, I'm fairly certain Rick Martel held the IC belt at one stage. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

scotty 2 hotty and sabu

and the wcw t.v title

has anyone mentioned Virgil?

for the same reason Brooklyn Brawler

Jarrett totally undersold Norris's kick.

Also, you people keep making me use this picture:

http://www.classicwwf.com/uploaded_i...us4-799174.jpg

Also, quit asking dumbass questions as to whether a guy with a well-established WWF/E or WCW run was such-and-such a champion when WWE.com has an extensive title history section.

Not really, I'm suprised nobody mentioned El Dandy. Who are you to doubt El Dandy? Seriously though, he was an under used wrestler. Andbody remember when he teamed with Silver King and Ms. Hancock? That was an EPIC team.

fuck yeah los fabulosos

http://www.gerweck.net/misshancock.jpg

any old excuse to post the hancock

I don't remember Billy Jack Hanyes holding a major title, could be wrong though.

George The Animal Steele

Hillbilly Jim

Killings held NWA-TNA World title more than once I think

I know he's had loads of minor titles but what about Jerry Lawler?

the million dollar belt and he didnt even deserve that.

tag team champion with typhoon.

hardcore and tag team titles.

ooTin.

Oh wait, he was ECW Champion.

As Justin Sane?

I know for a fact that Martel had the title. I was a big mark for him at the time, for some reason.

I feel like Men on a Mission had a tag title run.

William Regal.
