I don't think any wrestler can be fairly evaluated by what WCW did or didn't do. And just because he wasn't a world champion doesn't mean he's not a 10.
What folks need to keep in mind, is that when Hennig was in the World Wrestling Federation, Vince was booking babyface champions, not heel. Curt was one of the most athletic and technical heavyweights to ever step foot in a pro wrestling ring, and to see him do what he did at 6'3, 245-250 pounds was remarkable. Plus he had the heel psychology. Before HBK or Bret got their main event push, Hennig was the one who combined all of those skills into a heel. A+ athlete, A+technician, A+ heel psychology, and A+ charisma.
If he had been given a chance to be the champion in what was then the WWF, he could have had at least a three month solid reign with enjoyable programs against Hart, Luger, Hogan, Flair and Savage.
