Worst World Champion of all time
 
In your opinion, Who do u think is the worst or most undeserving World Champion of all time?

loopydate 07-21-2004 10:30 PM

How are Sgt. Slaughter and Iron Sheik on this list?

Anyway, I said Arquette. The two Vinces were pretty bad, but at least they had something to do with wrestling. Arquette was (and is) a nobody that they brought in to hype a crappy movie and gave him what was, at the time, probably the most coveted title in the sport.

Gonzo 07-21-2004 10:33 PM

David Arquette. Self explainable, really.

FourFifty 07-21-2004 10:37 PM

<font color=cyan>Arquette... He had the title to promote a movie....

Arquette, although he never even wanted to win the belt in the first place.

Fryza 07-21-2004 10:47 PM

Arquette.

Yup.

I didn't count Arquette, because he's not a serious contender. It was a publicity stunt that bit them in the ass.

The CyNick 07-21-2004 11:34 PM

If the question is who is most undeserving I would say Russo or McMahon over Arquette. Only reason being, I can sort of understand why they did what they did (get publicity, its still dumb, but there is some reasoning there). With McMahon and Russo that was just bookers stroking their own egos, for whatever reason I just think thats worse.

But I wouldn't consider any of those guys as "the worst champ ever" because they were never meant to be long term champions, they were just done for ratings or whatever.

So with that in mind I might say Nash, only because he was given such a long run and was well protected before the title win. So he had the best chance, and he failed the most.

James Steele 07-21-2004 11:39 PM

I'm sorry, but R2R wasn't a good enough movie to give Arquette the damn belt.

Savio 07-21-2004 11:49 PM

I probably would say arquette but he won in my home town.

James Steele 07-21-2004 11:54 PM

Savior, that would have offended me.

Mayo 07-21-2004 11:56 PM

I voted for the lucky sonofabitch that is married to Courtney Cox.

Obviously one of the big reasons that WCW went into the gutter.

ColdwaVer 07-22-2004 12:02 AM

I said Russo for the fact that he made <i>himself</i> champion (TWICE, if I remember correctly) and then made himself look like a big badass. At least McMahon won it whilst unconscious and then laid it down immediately.

James Steele 07-22-2004 12:08 AM

Russo, Arquette, and Jarrett are the 3 bastards who killed WCW. WCW had the potential to make a comeback, but because of those 3 talentless fuckwads....


anyway.... FUCK OFF VinnieRu!

Fucking Arquette.

I liked Iron Shiek and Sgt. Slaughter.

Vince Russo is a piece of shit. Arquette, I give him props for NOT WANTING TO WIN, but that was the gayest thing ever.

and

I dont know who is worse..... Jarrett or Triple H

Shaggy 07-22-2004 01:09 AM

I went with Russo on this one. Even though many people didnt like the fact Arquette was champ and that it was done for a movie it seems to pass me by. I liked it when he was a champ because I actually thought it was funny WCW would stoop so low to promote a movie. But the funny outweights the horrible of Russo so Russo got my vote.

BLaZeR- 07-22-2004 01:40 AM

I'll have to go with JBL since I don't really consider Russo/Vinman/Arquette as real champions with actual title runs. The way JBL was just thrusted into the main event even when his last lost before his feud with Eddie was to Rikishi just sickens me.

Funky Fly 07-22-2004 01:44 AM

Why is Yokozuna on that list?

James Steele 07-22-2004 01:45 AM

Blazer:

A) You avatar is porn and needs to be taken care of ASAP :shifty:

B) I wish i had the ability to block out VinnieRu's, DavieArq's, and VinnieMac's Title reigns.

LoL...repressed memories, that's all. ;)

da_king 07-22-2004 02:07 AM

<font color="#ccffcc">
why the hell is ronnie "hands of stone" garvin on that list. he was probably just as deserving as any other short term champion. anyways arquette is the obvious choice since he had absolutley nothing to do with wrestling before or after that angle whereas they other guys were at least involved with the sport. if i had to pick an actual wrestler though, probably nash.

#1-norm-fan 07-22-2004 02:34 AM

Anyone who says anything other than Arquette is simply wrong.

And I honestly didn't mind McMahon winning the title. If I'm looking at a list of former world champions, I would be more offended by Arquette's name on there than one of the biggest names in the history of wrestling.

Arquette. Possibly Russo's crapest idea ever to give him the strap to promote a movie and quite frankly that movie sucked.

Oxstar 07-22-2004 11:20 AM

David Arquette been champ was a joke but JBL been champion pisses me off. I fucking hate JBL, when JBL loses the title I will be happy.

Jarrett is worse, atleast we know Triple H has talent and passion for the business..as much as i hate him, i can still say that, but i can't say the same for Jarrett...

Exactly what I was going to say...

VinnieMac I didn't mind... I dont remember the storyline, but it had SOMETHING to do with wrestling... Arquette's reign was a HORIBLE move by WCW... Most likely Turner's idea though to get publicity...

Innovator 07-22-2004 05:03 PM

Worst Champ?

David Arquette hands down. Funny thing is in Flair's book he talked about how Arquette gave all the money he made to the families of Owen, Droz, Pillman, and others. Flair told him while he may not be a great champion, he conducted himself better than other guys with the title.

It wasn't Turner's idea. It was that clown Russo who wanted Arquette. He was the only one though. Even Arquette tried to convince Russo that it was a bad idea
