That's a tough one. If you were a WCW fan then you might consider the AWA legends to be "legit" World Champions. I think they are, they were on ESPN and long before that they were a big act in their territories and a successful business for a long time.
I think for someone who didn't watch AWA at all then it's pretty insignificant. Curt is pegged at the IC level in the eyes of history. While I think he'd have been deserving of a PPV against Hogan, Savage, Hart and Warrior all as a challenger. I think it would have been a fun gimmick that that is the one thing he never can accomplish. The give him that drive as a character to always keep going. Meanwhile he could've been more involved in the IC scene and developed those guys a bit.
Just playing EWR mentally here.
