YOUR Favorite World Champion - WWF/WWE
Well, the voting is in YET AGAIN.
YOUR Favorite TNA / NWA World Champion was Ric Flair. Ric Flair was also YOUR Favorite WCW World Champion. AND Tazz / Taz, was YOUR Favorite ECW Champion. Anyhow, on to our next bit of business. YOUR Favorite WWF / WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Same as before; you can vote based on whatever you'd like. Personal favoritism, the wrestler overall, the wrestler's title run, credibility, fan popularity / drawing power; whatever reason you'd like to vote for him. If you'd like to, elaborate on who you voted for and why. I will make the list one that covers WWWF through today's WWE, including both WWE World Champion and WWE Champion as well. That will make voting tougher for some, but very cool overall and will make it interesting as well. This covers the Undisputed Title, etc. - so everyone's obviously included. RIGHT NOW THERE IS ALSO A POLL UP FOR YOUR FAVORITE AWA CHAMPION - SO BE SURE TO GO OVER TO THAT THREAD AND PLACE A VOTE OVER THERE AS WELL |
Champion 3:16
|
The Rock, but I really really wanted to vote Hogan or Jericho :(
|
Jericho's pretty much my favorite wrestling performer all time and I wouldn't even consider voting him in this poll. But the criteria is entirely up to you he says, so whatever.
|
I still haven't voted yet, having a hard time making a choice myself.
|
Probably the hardest choice for me in any of the polls thus far, but for many reasons I made up my mind earlier and I can with complete confidence and pride say Austin is my vote.
|
The one thing you can say about Jericho, is that ON PAPER his reign looks good. Beats Stone Cold and The Rock back to back, unifies 2 world titles, successfully defends against Rock and Austin at seperate ppvs, and loses to HHH in the main event of Wrestlemania....
too bad it was all executed and delivered terribly. If Austin Rock or Michaels doesn't win this poll I'll be a tad upset. |
Shawn Michaels by a mile ffs
|
Bret Hart.
I definitely had to go with the Hitman on this one. He just had fantastic bout after fantastic bout, and gave such credibility to the Championship. The gold eagle just looked like it belonged to him, and he really made you feel that it did. Honorable mention to Bruno Sammartino, who was FANTASTIC in every single sense of the word. Definitely an overlooked superstar by today's generation of fans, and did a ton for the business. I also was tempted to go with Austin, Hogan or Mankind. |
However, Billy Graham and Bruno Sammartino do get honorable mention from me.
|
To me Rock eventually was on the level of Austin, but never as a champ. Rock certainly became his equal but I still think Austin was a better champion, had better runs and lent more credibility to that belt at a time when it needed it.
The Rock always seemed better not being champion. Something about Stone Cold made him look so much cooler when he came out stomping like BMF with the belt over his shoulder, be it the smoking skull or the normal winged eagle. It just fit, and he made that belt matter. |

Who else voted for the Rock?
|
Bruno Sammartino
He held the championship for 4040 days, that's a long ass time. Actually I would have voted for Austin because he was my favorite champion but for the sake of my grandfather who always gushes over Bruno, I'm going to put my vote for Bruno in honor of him. My grandfather always tells me about how he was at MSG when Bruno lost to Koloff for the title and how you could hear a pin drop. I'm also voting for Bruno because lets face it he's the guy that the company was built around back when, if it weren't for Bruno Vince McMahon Sr. wouldn't have a business to had to his son which means no Hulkamania or Austin 3:16. |
I love HHH, Edge, RVD and others, but are you fucking kidding me with them having 1 vote to compliment STONE FUCKING COLD'S 1 vote?

Rocky, Rocky, Rocky

I voted Kane. An inepic title reign, but that reign has a lot of sacrifice and dedication behind it. Kane has been the best big consistent man performer the WWE has had in modern times, in my opinion. Hell, he could go down as the best ever. Of course, I'm also just a mark for the guy.
|
Had to go with Michaels.
|
I did it for the rock BTW
|
Where are the McMahon supporters? :shifty:
|
Where are the AUSTIN supporters?
|
When I try to decide who is the greatest champion of anything I always ask who brought the most honor to that title. When looking at the NWA and WCW title I can say hands down that Flair was the man that holds that honor. Likewise when I think about the AWA title Bockwinkle is easily the man who brought the most honor to that title. Same could be said for Taz in ECW. So when I think who brought the most honor to the WWWF championship there is really only one option, and that's Bruno Samartino.

I voted for The Rock.
But it was close with him and Austin. I sat there and hovered my mouse around the screen a good 5 minutes. |
and made the wrong choice
|
I'm kidding, it could go either way.
|
I have to admit, I did not suspect Rocky to be leading this. I thought for sure Austin or possibly Bret would have it. Not that I mind, I certainly think Rock's one of the best Champs ever. Just a little suprised I guess.
|
me too
|
If the Rock hadn't been on RAW two weeks ago he wouldn't be winning, promise.

I was about to say, everyones on this whole I miss The Rock kick.
If Rock was the special guest referee for the match and had been appearing occasionally over the years, and Austin was off in hollywood for 4 years and cut a promo via satelite, people would view things differently. |
Who voted for RVD?
Seriously, how is he the best WWE/WWF champ ever? Don't get me wrong, he's one of my all time fav's but... 1) His reign was not particularly long and 2) It ended because he got busted and suspended for drugs |
