best talent to never win a world title?
 

discuss opinion and reasoning

Norman Smiley

too much wiggle, not enough beating Meng

Piper? Don't think he ever won a Major World Title.

Piper/Goldust. Goldust should have had even a short run, just to see how it would go down.

Jake Roberts- wouldve been a great heel champ

Bushwhacker Luke

Slipped my mind.

defining the title i think is something for each poster to do on their own. I myself consider it the WWf title and wcw world title. but for some an AWA title may count, and ECW may count.

Piper.

Scott Hall, Billy Gunn.

Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase
Rick Martel
Mr. Perfect

Heels that stood out in my childhood and should of had their run in the sun.

Mr. Perfect

British Bulldog

Chavo Guerrero has more world title runs than the Million Dollar Man

Curt Hennig comes to kind first. Then Piper, Bulldog, Owen, and Jake Roberts.

I am thinking WWE and WCW Championships.

do you think curt's size or lack of was the only reason vince didnt have him go over Hogan? mr perfect was a hot heel especially with the genius sidekick where an interference caused pin for perfect would have been believable as hell at the time.

think it was more vince was still into the big bulky guys should have the title or more Hogan having pull then?

Just think was a bigger draw with the belt than chasing it.

Piper is number 1 for me then Jake Roberts, Mr. Perfect and Rick Rude.


I suppose Scott Hall can go in there as well.

Supposedly he was real close before his last suspension :'(

Bigelow? Think he held the ECW belt though.

Mr Perfect

Would Andre the Giant count?

He did "win" his match although DiBiase rigged the whole thing which ended up having Andre lose the belt and the match treated like it never occurred (ex. Jericho's and Ziggler's 1st reign).

Gonna risk loads of heat by saying that I have no problem with that.

El Dandy

So does Vince Russo

Didn't Hennig hold the AWA Title? If so, that did count as a World Title at one point (in the '70s and '80s)

A controversial Answer the question rather controversially: Barry Horrowitz.

I'd rather say William Regal

Easily Owen Hart, best pure wrestler ever.

Hennig, Rude, Bulldog, Owen, DiBiase, Regal, Jake Roberts, Piper, Orndorff, Hall too many top list.

how do you think owen would have drawn as champion?

All of these guys, definitely.

If people like CM Punk and Daniel Bryan are getting the belt now then Owen should have gotten it as well. Preferably would've had him win the Submission match at Survivor Series 1994 instead of having Bob Backlund in there, although the match was still a classic in its own right.

Piper comes to mind first and foremost, but a lot of the people mentioned in this thread deserved it too.
