Who do you consider a "World Champion"? - Page 2

I hate to be clich�-ish, but unless a wrestler makes it to WWE and becomes either World Heavyweight Champion or WWE Champion, it doesn't really mean anything.

I mean, as a baseball player, you can be Minor League Player of the Year, but you still hope to get "The Call" so you can go up to the Majors and show what you can do.

A College Football player may win the College National Football Championship, he may win Bowls, and he may even win the Heisman Trophy, yet it doesn't necessarily translate into having a successful NFL career. A player may win all those championships and awards, but he still wants to be drafted and show what he can do at the highest level.

The same goes for professional wrestling. You may accomplish a lot of things elsewhere, but the dream (for most) is to get a chance to achieve greatness in the WWE.

I think they frequently acknowledged Daniel Bryans past on WWE television

Only former non WWE World Champions that should be recognised by WWE are WCW and UFC. TNA, ECW and ROH are too small scale to be considered "real" World Champions. Not too sure what I think about Japan.
