The Greatest Never To Hold A Major Title
It's something that is often said. Just the other day it was said again about Hacksaw Jim Duggan. So my question is who do you think is the greatest wrestler that never held a major world title? By major world title I mean the WWE title or the NWA/WCW title. I don't really consider the ECW or TNA title a major world title.

BTW my vote goes to Ted Dibease
|
This is the one thing that JR and I agree upon
*gets thumbs ready* ROB VAN DAM |
Mr. Perfect and Owen Hart :(
|
British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith
and of course...Tully Blanchard gets an honorable mention from me... |
<font color=cyan>"The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibease, with much respect to everyone else, without a doubt.

Without a question,Scott Hall.
In the WWE as Razor Ramon he was probably the top heel at the time in the mid 90's right behind Diesel. In WCW he was one of the top 5 guys there. He was one of the top guys his whole time in WCW. Benoit,Jarrett,DDP,Steiner,Goldberg,Nash and Booker won the World title and Hall did not. Sid came in and won the WCW title and Hall did not.Bret Hart jump to WCW and won the World title.David Arquette and Russo won the title and Hall did'nt. No wonder why Hall drunk so much in WCW. In TNA(the real NWA title),he got a shot at JJ for the title and still did not win. Did he win the AWA title? Owen died young Bulldog was never on that level Dibiase was victim to Hogan and WWE had to keep the title on Hogan. Piper was another victim to the Hogan era. RVD was never on that level. If you look at Eugene now,that was the level RVD was on. |
I pretty much agree with all of the ones mentioned so far. Did Ricky Steamboat win either of those titles? If not, add him to that list. Raven too I suppose.

And as for Bulldog never being on that level...you have NO IDEA how over Bulldog was...a HUGE name in American, Canada loved him to death, and England...he basically could have run for God of England and won in a landslide. Dibiase never won the title because he retired pretty much as soon as he becamea big Main Eventer...he Main Evented for 2 or 3 years and then became a manager... And as for Piper he never won the World Title becuase companies didn't trust him...basically he had loyalty to himself...and that is it. I agree Scott Hall should have been WCW Champ, but to discard everyone else is a damn shame. (oh and Hall never held the AWA title) |
I can't go with one, so I'll just make a small list.
Brian Pillman Dean Malenko Ted DiBiase Arn Anderson Paul Orndorff Rick Rude Marc Mero Roddy Piper I won't list Curt Hennig because Curt had a run (albeit a small one) with the AWA Belt, which was rather important. I also won't list Rick Martel because Rick won in AWA too. Also, Shane Douglas and Raven (modernly) stay off of my list because of ECW (as I'd count their Title as rather important as well). |
Marc Mero? I must say a wholeheartedly disagree.
Oh and, DiBiase, Owen Hart, Snuka. |
Bulldog was never on that level? Dude, now I know why Hall is your favorite wrestler. You're both drunk off your ass.
Perfect and Pillman come to mind for me. Rick Rude was a good one too. |
Tully Blanchard and Dean Malenko is two that nobody has brought up yet.
Good Choices by the way. |
<--------------------see user name.
|
My list is
Owen Hart Dean Malenko Rowdy Piper Rob Van Dam British Bulldog |
Owen Hart
|
maybe Owen Hart?
Ted Debiasse? British Bulldog (he was great 4 a while, like in '96) |
Owen Hart
Ted Dibiase Roddy Piper Davey Boy Smith Dynamite Kid William Regal Rick Rude Arn Anderson Tully Blanchard Brian Pillman Lance Storm (I'm a Storm mark sue me) Greg Valentine (Same reason as Storm) Dean Malenko Bam Bam Bigelow Andre the Giant (I don't really count him beating Hogan since he handed over the title to Dibiase immediately) Paul Orndorff and finally for now... Disco Inferno :shifty: just kidding :D |
I left off Hennig, Douglas and Raven for the same reasons KayfabeMan did and I left of RVD because of the sheer length of his reign as ECW TV champion, it became while he was champ a major title IMO
|
X-Pac.
|
Raven
RVD Owen Hart and even though some wont agree I think I would say.... Billy Gunn, not the Gunn you see today but back in the day when he did singles after he left the Outlaws. He was great. I think he definently should of had a heavyweight belt at sometime. |
Lance Storm
|
edge, christian and jeff hardy

I'm seeing an Owen Hart, Ted DiBiase and RVD pattern here. And yes, yes, yes to all.
Although RVD might not be good enough on the mic to warrant a lengthy reign, and DiBiase had the million dollar belt - c'mon people, it was worth a MILLION DOLLARS - i'd say that's a good title. |
Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Shannon Moore, Rey Mysterio, Chavo....any of the guys from WCW Tag teams really.
