I would say a lotta current guys, but should probably give em a few more years, and they will be champs.

Ricky had a short run with the NWA World Heavyweight Title (and
despite the fact that Sabu and Chris Candido have held that title,
it's still the most prestigious belt ever).He also had 2 short stints w/
the US Title; 2 short runs with with the Television Title and 2 NICE
Tag Title runs with Dustin Rhodes & Shane Douglas (in addition to
being a 4-time NWA Tag Team Champion and a WWF IC Champion).
I don't think he really needed a belt to be over (just like some of
the other greats),but a little longer run would have been nice for
his career....
I think Jake never got the shot because he didn't fit WWF's "mold"
for a typical champion (not to mention backstage politics and the
"personal demons" he battled). Bulldog I think would have made a
fine WCW Champion while he spent some time there in the earlier
1990's; he had some GREAT matches with Sting,Vader,Sid,Harlem
Heat and Dustin Rhodes (among others).
Owen Hart (May He Rest In Peace),if he would have lived would
have held the World Title @ some point.I think instead of smaller
runs,Owen should've had a longer run with the IC Title.He could
have done so much more for that title.Owen was a wrestler's wr-
restler,as was Bret Hart,and was amazing to watch in the ring...
Curt Hennig (yes,Hennig) was another guy who had some good
runs (WWF IC titles,WCW US Title,AWA Tag Titles,and was a fi-
ne AWA Champion (I'm sure he's held other belts,but those are
the ones I can remember right now - besides his short run with
the WCW Tags in late 90's).
Ted DiBiase is still the man
