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.

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?

Schlomey 04-02-2010 04:06 PM

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

Schlomey 04-02-2010 04:10 PM

Damnit.

Ol Dirty Dastard 04-02-2010 04:15 PM

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.

Kapoutman 04-02-2010 04:16 PM

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

Schlomey 04-02-2010 04:16 PM

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.

Schlomey 04-02-2010 04:20 PM

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.

Schlomey 04-02-2010 04:24 PM

Jimmy Snuka?

kareru 04-02-2010 04:25 PM

this is hard

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

Supreme Olajuwon 04-02-2010 04:25 PM

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.

Schlomey 04-02-2010 04:26 PM

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.

Schlomey 04-02-2010 04:28 PM

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.

Xero 04-02-2010 04:29 PM

Snuka was also the ECW Champion.

Supreme Olajuwon 04-02-2010 04:30 PM

Kanyon won a ton of titles anyway

Kapoutman 04-02-2010 04:31 PM

Koko B. Ware?

STEVE BLACKMAN, of course.

Xero 04-02-2010 04:39 PM

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

Schlomey 04-02-2010 04:39 PM

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

All titles outside of the WWF Hardcore Championship.

St. Jimmy 04-02-2010 04:44 PM

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

Xero 04-02-2010 04:44 PM

Too saturated with useless wins.

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