Best & Worst #6: European Champion [RESULTS POSTED]
This should be fairly easy...
http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...elthistory.png ============================================== HALL OF FAME WWF/E Champion: Stone Cold Steve Austin Intercontinental Championship: Chris Jericho United States Champion: Ravishing Rick Rude Authority Figure: Eric Bischoff WrestleMania: X-7 HALL OF SHAME WWF/E Champion: Jeff Hardy/Bob Backlund Intercontinental Championship: Chyna United States Champion: David Flair Authority Figure: Vince Russo WrestleMania: IX |
REMEMBER: Please pick only ONE Best and ONE Worst.
(and if you could cleary state before/after providing any further discussion, that would be very much appreciated :y:) |
Best: chest protector D-Lo. He's one of the guys who "owned" that belt as opposed to it just being some random hardware.
Worst: Saturn. I seriously didn't recall Saturn ever winning this. |
Best: Jericho
Worst:Mideon |
Quote:
He was the last European Champion. |
Best: William Regal
Worst: Matt Hardy (I believe he only defended it once in four months) |
If Mideon doesnt get worst then WTF? He didn't even beat anyone to get the belt. He found it in Shane's bag.
|
Best: Regal
Worst: Mideon |

Loved Shane as European champ. Don't think I could say he was the best though. Gonna come back to this.
|
Best: D'lo Brown
Worst: Mideon |
Quote:
He did the same when he unified the Hardcore and Intercontinental Championships and he's credited as being the last Hardcore Champion because of it. So I don't see why the European Championship would be any different. :-\ |
Best - X-Pac
Worst - Shane McMahon |
Best - Eddie Guerrero
Winning the European title was the start of Latino Heat and the program he had running with Chyna which was great. Plus Eddie had some great matches along the way Worst - Spike Dudley I have no recollection of him ever being a champion, I assume he must have beaten DDP? Had it not been for Bradshaw becoming JBL then I would have picked him instead because his reign was pointless and lost it in his first title defence. |
Best: British Bulldog
Worst: Mideon |
Best: British Bulldog (it was a Title tailor-made for him...he was the prototypical European Champion)
Worst: Oh, so many worst European Champions...Shane McMahon, Saturn, Mideon...how to pick one? |
Best: Triple H
Worst: Mideon |
Best: Eddie Guerrero
Worst: Spike |

Best: D'Lo Brown
He pretty much made the European Title seem like a big deal. Worst: Jericho Only saying that, because he held the title for like one day. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Honorable Mentions Best: X-Pac & Al Snow Worst: Mideon & Mark Henry |
Best: British Bulldog
Worst: Mideon |

It was wise to leave him out, for the purposes of this game. |

The greatest European Championship Match in the history of our sport (Insert Tony Schiavone's voice)

Best: William Regal
Worst: Mideon (an easy choice) |
Best: D'Lo Brown. Loved D'Lo Brown around this time and could have picked Jericho but all of Jericho's early memorable moments occurred with the IC belt.
Honorable Mention: Al Snow with the different country represented for each match routine. Worst: Mideon Couldn't remember him ever as champion until someone else mentioned he never actually won the title but just found it. |
Best: D'Lo Brown

I remember it, before the match, Spike stole Regal's brass knucks that Regal hid in one of the turnbuckle pads when the referee wasn't looking, and just before the bell rang, he hit Regal with the knucks and pinned him for a 3-count. The match was only about 3 or 4 seconds long. You might be thinking of Crash Holly though, who won the European Championship from Regal at Rebellion in 2000. |
yeah dont remember crash winning....
Best: Xpac Worst: Spike (dont remember it at all....the title was dead at that point) |
Best: kurt angle
Worst: mideon |
best D Lo
worst Mideon |
best d-lo. he even had 2 rides named after him at Euro-Disney, the Sky High and the Lo-Down (that was one of his best promos)
worst mideon. |
Quote:
(To me) The IC Champ is the North American, South American and European titles all merged together...The United states title was merged into it but a new one was created for smackdown. Best:bulldog Davey-Boy Smith (Owen never did get it did he? it went to shawn michales to trips threw a finger poke of doom...the title seemed like it was going to have some credibility up till that point) Worst: Denis Knight They should have an IC Champion win the All Japan or New Japan title and claim to be the real world champ as the intercontinal championship has surpassed the world(or wwe) title. |
Best: The British Bulldog
Worst: Mideon |
Best: Davey Boy Smith
Worst: Mideon |
Best: Al Snow
Worst: Mark Henry |
Best: Shane McMahon (not the "best" per se but I enjoyed his run/the program over the title the most. "It's easy as 1-2-3, kid". No way anybody that voted Shane worst actually saw any of the stuff with him and X-Pac over the belt)
Worst: RVD |

D'Lo has to be the best just because of the whole gimmick around him.
I think the best feud over the title goes to Shane vs X-pac. 2nd best feud and match at Mania 15 |
Picking the best was hard. Going with D'Lo, although on a different day I could easily think Shane or X-Pac. Those three are the ones that immediately spring to mind for me when I think of the Euro title, and really seemed to make it a legit division.
Worst was Mideon. Because... c'mon. Mideon. |
Quote:
was this post hart foundation? Edit: X-pac and D'Lo get a mention for having such a great feud over it, it was defended so often it was like the TV Title, I think that feud led to the Shane/Pac Feud. |
yah, like immediately after. Bret leaving/The Hart Foundation disappearing led to Owen's short program with Shawn/DX which led to his feud with Hunter.
|
Best - D'Lo
Worst - Bulldog |
Bulldog, really?
|
Yeah, he only got the title because he was British. Won it on a house show, lost it on a house show and I can honestly remember nothing of his first reign or even him beating D'Lo for his 2nd.
Sad, but I can remember something about all the other champions apart from him. |
Best - D'Lo Brown because he was one of the few guys that was actually elevated when winning the European title. Winning the European title didn't help too many guys get over or move up the card in its history.
Worst - Mideon because his title reign basically established the title as a lower card title (a few upper card guys won it later like Jericho, Guerrero, Angle, etc.). Mideon was way too low on the card to win this. Before his reign, the Euro title was almost on the level of the IC title. |
Best: Eddie, although I was this >< close to choosing Shane O'Mac.
Worst: Gonna have to say Mideon. |

Davey Boy Smith had at least 2 great European title matches. When he won the title against Owen Hart and when he lost the title in the UK PPV main event with HBK (incredible heat). He held for about 7 months but I don't remember him defending it much in between. The only other defense I can remember is against Ken Shamrock at Summerslam 1997. But this is still enough for him to be far away from the worst European champion of all-time.

Best: D-Lo
Worst: Mideon. |
Best: Owen Hart
