Wrestlers that should have won the World title but never did
Name some wrestlers that should have won the World Title but never did and also state when they should have won. For example, there were plenty of talented guys in the 80s like Hennig, Rude, etc., that were probably championship material but Hogan was drawing so much that there was no room for them to be champs.
I think Bam Bam Bigelow should have got the World Title in 1993 at some point instead of Yokozuna having such a long run. Owen Hart in late 1994 instead of Backlund or Nash. Vader (won in WCW, but not WWF) should have been the one to end Michaels' reign in 1996. |

Does McMahon still have it out for him or is that all in the past? Does anyone know why Vince doesn't like Christian? I mean I haven't seen or heard a valid reason not to like them. I mean, I shit my pants when he challenged Edge on Raw 2 weeks ago. Those two need a good three month storyline. It's just a matter of time. |

Scope out videos of Hassan. His promos are GOLD! He was too ahead of his time for his own good, and his gimmick was the double edged sword that cut him in the end. However listen to the reactions he got. As a heel he was the best we've seen in a while. He didn't even have to cut a promo on a wrestler. He can rip into a reporter who has NOTHING to do with wrestling and the fans still (love to) hate it!

But then, I'm the one committing an IWC faux pas now, implying that certain smark darlings might not be good heels on the grounds that they're "over" using gimmicks a retarded monkey with a flag could pull off. EDIT: Back to the topic of cheap heat, Hassan's character had more depth than the average "I hate America" shtick that would be cheap racist heel heat. He did get the racist fucktards to respond, but one of the reasons he gets the smarks to push the pedal is that he was a heel...No, wait, It's that he's got some depth of character, and played that up pretty well. Though probably the first, too. Last edited by Kane Knight; 05-31-2010 at 09:57 AM. |

I agree with you two of my least favorites of all time are Hassan and Daivairi. As far as Hassan goes, his wrestling skills of lack thereof were apparent everytime he was in the ring, his best match was against Batista on an episode of RAW where he was completely annihilated. His mic skills were not good either because he would pause after every two words it was annoying. The only thing I liked about him was his music and the random bicycle in his titantron.

Yeah but I'm counting the fact that Christian never held the TNA title and is a two time NWA champion so I count those. Christian deserves the World Title more than anyone on Smackdown, even though I am a big fan of the current champ if they feuded over the World Title we'd see another great series of matches.

I have to agree with Kane as one of the biggest ones, because he was used to just push austin even harder and i think we can all agree that it wasnt needed. Kane was forced to bury himself year in and year out. Kane could have been a respected champion and maybe it would allow him to have beaten his "big brother".

Because he was so relevant to world events when he debuted, and only the outrage of the Arab community in America forced him out of WWE. I honestly have no doubts that had his character not been so controversial with them, he'd have at least held the IC or US title a time or two.

...I find it CRAZY that Scott Hall never was WWF Champion or WCW Champion...
...I mean, at least as Razor Ramon he should've won it...he was HOT back in the day. |

I find it more crazy he never won the title in WCW. In the mid-90s WWF, the IC Title meant way more than it does today.

And I think Hall got away with being drunk all that time because his character was just that way so he could make it pass while being drunk. |

Mr. Kennedy/Mr. Anderson. He has everything, every tool every skill to be a GREAT wwe champ and should have won by cashing in his money in the bank, but the WWE had to screw it up for him and themselves. I still think about how much it sucks that WWE dropped the ball with Kennedy he was one of the most charismatic stars of the past DECADE and WWE just crapped on him. In more classic wrestlers, I always thought Mr. Ass should have been world champ. Now dont get me wrong, when he got older and had that stupid "One" gimmick before he became gay with chuck, he was AWFUL, but back when he was Mr. Ass in DX, he should have had a short world title run, it wouldve had mega heat and wouldve been awesome! |

I've never understood how Edge made it and Christian, no matter what he did in TNA, hasn't made it.
