Your Most Hated World Title Reign in History
 

So, for this weeks podcast, we'll be discussing the Most Hated World Title Reigns in History, and want your input on what is your most despised run anybody had as a World Champion in any promotion, ever, and of course why?

A key point here is we are looking to discuss the title runs themselves, NOT simply a guy becoming champion who you don't feel was worthy (Vince McMahon for example).

As always we'll be reading the best contributions on the show and crediting you accordingly - so what is the World Title reign you personally hated more than any other, and what about it pissed you off so much?

EDIT - The show discussing your Most Hated World Title Reigns Ever is now online and available to listen to at the following link: http://squaredcirclegazette.podbean....ReignsEver.mp3

Jeff Jarrett's reigns as the WCW Champ. He absolutely sucked in the ring, so did his opponents. It was terrible, that whole New Blood vs the Millionaire's Club feud sucked ass.

When hhh held the belt forwver and used to cut the same 20 minute promo every raw

Khali as World Heavyweight Champion. Those 5 words speak for themselves.

Mark henry's run as most people probably liked it, i never and main reason never really liked mark henry as a wrestler his matches always bored me to hell.

Didn't he have multiple of these?

Rey Mysterio's World Title Run.

First of all, he's 5"5 150 pounds so any believability is gone. Secondly, he got jobbed out in non title matches every friggen week. It was a complete waste and I couldn't wait for it to be done

Chavo had no charisma though, and needed to profit from Eddie's death

Toss up between Cena's 1st or 3rd WWE title reign and Triple H's 2nd World title reign. they all dragged on way too long and were their own "Reigns of Terror" in a sense.

Cena's mostly due to how quickly the whole Super Cena and over coming the odds stuff got stale. Triple H's reign mostly for it symbolizing all the bad stuff about RAW compared to Smackdown being hot at the time.

Steele is gonna lose his shit at all these hhh bad reign posts

Christian's world title reign... I mean I was happy as the next guy when he won it, but honestly with how badly they botched that shit it really is the biggest waste of a title reign in my opinion. Just awful all around to the point that I actually wish Christian had just never won the title.

Thirdly, they had to call it just the "World Championship" because REY WASN'T A FUCKING HEAVYWEIGHT!

They've done that a lot though in recent years. To be honest I'm surprised they kept the "heavyweight" at all when they introduced the new belt. Besides weight classes in wrestling are stupid. There isn't a light heavyweight, cruiserweight, etc division anymore so why should there be a heavyweight division? I'd honestly prefer they just call it the world title all the time truthfully.

Wishbone is right

Surprised nobody has said David Arquette yet which is by far the stupidest reign ever and pretty much sent WCW down.

The fuck, seriously? Henry's reign wasn't about work rate or ***** matches, the dude was a legitimate badass and carried Smackdown. His reign was the last time I even checked out that show. Go back and watch, you might have a different take with the passage of time.

Fall of 1999 HHH was my least favorite, mostly because he didn't belong in the spot yet.

He was the hottest thing in the Summer of 99. He was one of the biggest parts of the new Rock n' Wrestling Connection that created Sunday Night Heat among other things.

I have 3. Sorry.

1. Triple H's extremely long reign as the World's Heavyweight Champion before he dropped the title to Bill Goldberg.

2. Randy Orton's first reign as the World's Heavyweight Champion. As far as I was concerned, I did not consider him as "world champion" material with respect to how he was booked and how quickly he dropped the strap to Hunter. It wasn't until the end of that No Mercy PPV where he wrestled twice and walked out of the show with the WWE Championship (3rd reign since he was awarded the title earlier in the night before he lost it to Hunter...again) that I saw him in a different light.

3. Dolph Ziggler's second reign as the World's Heavyweight Champion. It was sad that it ended the way it did due to health. I had so many high hopes when he won the belt on that edition of RAW after Mania 29.

Rey mysterios first WHC championship run was awful. He lost weekly to Big Show, Khali, Mark Henry, Kane, the only time I remember him NOT losing was when he wrestled to a no contest with Sabu on ONS 2.

Rhynos TNA Title run was awful as well, He goes from winning 3 matches in one night to losing the belt back to Jarret within one week, and then shuffled back down to the midcard for the remainder of his stay there.

Mysterious definitely. For a run that was supposed to be a feelgood thing it made watching Smackdown an excruciating ordeal.

Mine's Daniel Bryan. Really any of his WWE or WHC reigns. Never thought he was champion material and the length of his reigns prove it. Him as the IC champion is were I believe he belonged.

His last reign was a solid month, didn't get injured until after his match with THE DEMON Kane at extreme rules.

Goldberg's WCW title reign. It sucked, cause it was boring. He was unstoppable so there was no point watching his defenses. Especially considering he'd defend against the likes of Disco Inferno and Scott Putski.

His last reign was the one I hated the most because it came after that ridiculous WM. Well known that I'm not a fan of his but just felt that show was horrible. And feeding him to Kane right out the gates proves they had nothing planned after giving him the title.

They didn't feed him to Kane, he won the match. They probably wanted him to hold it until SummerSlam where he would be eating the 16 suplexes instead of Cena.

Jack Swagger

talk about a guy that just isn't world title material.

He had pretty decent matches.

In the WWE, it would be JBL's endless reign back in 2003 or 2004 or whatever. Every match he won by cheating and it was just so boring and not believable.
Outside the WWE universe, Xristo Diavlo's short title run from last season of CHW comes to mind. At first I was real excited about THE METAL MESSIAH becoming the face of the company but the run ended up being too short and boring, he barely did anything with the title.

I agree krow, CHW deserves better.

How can we forget that epic title defence against Curt Henning? I mean no offence to Curt, Mr Perfect will always be a legend. But he was never WHC material and to have him take on Goldberg for the title at BATB was stupid.

It was indeed stupid, because whether you consider Hennig World Champion Material or not, you knew he wasn't gonna win.

Rollins' reign is pretty dreadful. The guy is a glorified jobber. When your heel champion can't even cheat his way to winning matches outside of a title defense a month, there's a problem. Makes no sense to have a title on him. Not to mention the fact that they've gone out of their way to make it clear that he's not in the same league as the US champion. Logically, why is Cena not World champion at this point and Rollins US? The hierarchy of the titles is nonsensical.

Also have to add Vince on September 16th, 1999 SD! You have yourself as leader of a wrestling business and you book yourself to beat the champ and take his title? And because it was an obvious conflict of interest, as he mentioned, he vacated it faster than a dog runs from a fire hydrant that another dog's already pissed on.

No, dude. From GAB 2006 - TLC 2013, roughly 7 1/2 years it was still separate from the WWE Championship and during that whole time, was still called the World HEAVYWEIGHT Championship. When it was unified with the WWE Championship by Orton, who defeated Cena at TLC 2013, it became what it is now, the WWE World HEAVYWEIGHT Championship.

Checkmate, NS.

Curt was AWA World Champ before his WWE run in the 80s.

By the late 90s though he had no business being in the title picture.

Fucking dunce

But at least Arquette was being used as a promotional tool for a movie. HHH was just eating up at around 45-50 minutes of tv on a 2 hour show every show to open, be peppered in, and close in the main event. Completely preventable overexposure at its finest.
