IYO, Worst champ in the past 3 years?

**Savio** · 08-08-2005, 10:21 PM

Batista
----------------
BTW I'm basing this on overall performance.

**Loose Cannon** · 08-08-2005, 10:22 PM

what are you basing this on?

**The Naitch** · 08-08-2005, 11:24 PM

JBL

**Flair1672** · 08-08-2005, 11:33 PM

JBL

**The Naitch** · 08-08-2005, 11:37 PM

Randy Orton

**The Naitch** · 08-08-2005, 11:37 PM

Big Show

**Drakul** · 08-08-2005, 11:43 PM

Cena or Orton

**loopydate** · 08-08-2005, 11:49 PM

'Cause I'm bored...

WWE - Big Show (placeholder champion, and they barely bothered to pretend he wasn't)

World - Randy Orton (shouldn't have turned him face. Totally unmemorable)

World Tag - Kane and The Hurricane (good comedy stuff, but a 3-week reign)

WWE Tag - Rene Dupree and Kenzo Suzuki (although LoD 3.0 is pretty close)

Intercontinental - Edge (not that he was necessarily a bad champ, but the injury ruined his reign)

United States - Orlando Jordan (and he still has the belt why?)

Women's - Gail Kim (which is a sign of the talent of the girls who have held this belt over the last three years)

Cruiserweight - Jacqueline (easy)

They had their moments. I liked Kenzo's trying-to-act-American gimmick, but I was never a big enough fan of his in-ring stuff to take them very seriously.

If Heidenreich and Animal remain champions for a couple of months without some sort of storyline giving them a reason to be, they'll pass Kenzo and Rene easily, but for the time being I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt since they're so new. (RUN-ON SENTENCE! WOOOOOOO!)

**Vastardikai** · 08-09-2005, 12:12 AM

Worst in the past three years for me is JBL. The guy can't wrestle, period. Hogan in his prime wasn't exactly Bret Hart, but he could be carried to a good match. JBL, otoh, cannot be carried to anything.

Eddie couldn't carry him, and it killed his WWE Title Reign.

Kurt FREAKING Angle, who could pull a watchable match out of a stick of chewing gum, couldn't carry him.

The guy is just plain DEAD WEIGHT, and yet, because he's good buddies with the Undertaker, and Vince is big on him, he's become the Triple H of Smackdown.

**Kane Knight** · 08-09-2005, 12:24 AM

Overall--Big Show.

Direction--Orton. What is it with taking someone who's over and not killing it the WWE doesn't understand.

In the Ring--JBL. He's great on the stick, but shit in the ring. Even less entertaining than Show to me.

On the mic--Batista. But he's a rookie, and his character sahouldn't talk this much, so I'm not panning the guy.

Wow. I didn't name Trips once. Wait.

Nose--Triple H.

I think Eddie and Angle managed to carry him quite well, though I think they were the ONLY ones pretty much who could make him look like anything other than shit.

**Psycho C** · 08-09-2005, 12:48 AM

Worst champ for the past three years?

I gotta say JBL.

I mean, if Triple H had held the title for THAT long, I could believe it. But APA's Bradshaw? The man who once lost to Freddie Joe Floyd? C'mon!

**Vastardikai** · 08-09-2005, 12:50 AM

Don't front on Freddie Joe Floyd, now. He's a Full Blooded Italian.

**loopydate** · 08-09-2005, 01:01 AM

Shut uppa you face!

JUSTIN....HAWK....BRADSHAW!

**Jordan** · 08-09-2005, 01:19 AM

Batista, he isn't ready, not at all. Triple H carried him like a hike on a mountain. I went to a house show and watched him and JBL he was soooo awful. Same with the Great American Bash, just awful. I say give the belt to Benoit, push Booker T and give it to him, or the Undertaker.

**Vastardikai** · 08-09-2005, 01:19 AM

They should bring out Freddie Jo Floyd for a one time match with JBL, just for humor sake.

**Psycho C** · 08-09-2005, 01:21 AM

And have him win, too...just like old times.

JBL could bitch about how he was once a Southerner, but FJF is the precise reason why he turned to a high-class lifestyle.

**Dave Youell** · 08-09-2005, 06:33 AM

IMO Orton, not his fault, his turn was pathetic, they should of gone down the same route as Batista with a slow turn, the fact he held it for a month was a joke as well, I swear the only reason they let him have it was they didn't want Brock to be known as there youngest champ.

I actually liked show as champ, I really enjoyed his feud with Brock personally

Or they could have never turned him. The problem was that he really sucked as a babyface.

**The Gooch** · 08-09-2005, 08:42 AM

Hogan's title reign in 2002 was pretty awful. Hogan as a special attraction is good, as a champ, not so good.

JBL--I stopped watching Smackdown when he won the title. Great on the mic, but is painful to watch in the ring.

Batista is not very good on the mic, but he gets huge allowances because he looks like he could kick the living shit out of you.

**snakeboss** · 08-09-2005, 11:18 AM

Here's my three:

World Heavyweight Champion: Triple H.(He gets this belt about four times a year, I bought a load of WWE dvd's recently, and he's main eventing all of them.

WWE Champion: John Cena. (His gimmick was much better heel. He's becoming plain and boring)

US Champion: Orlando Jordan. (Why does he still have the belt?)

**BigDaddyCool** · 08-09-2005, 12:28 PM

Orton, he is just so lackluster

**Kane Knight** · 08-09-2005, 12:30 PM

So you like flashy, homosexual champions then?>

**Chavo Classic** · 08-09-2005, 12:51 PM

Benoit had no opportunity to shine during his run, with exception of the Backlash triple threat. Other than that and a quickie-feud with Kane he had nothing to do. So, as it pains me to say, Benoit has probably had the worst title run in the last three years.

As for the worst champion, by their own accord and not through shitty booking, I'd have to say OJ. Why this man has a job, let alone a title, is beyond me.

**UmbrellaCorporation** · 08-09-2005, 01:21 PM

Cena for me.

I hate the gimmick, and while I won't doubt his ability to get a crowd going, I can't stand him at all.

**Eunos** · 08-09-2005, 01:29 PM

hmm

JBL - Admitingly he was entertaining on the Mic. But in the ring.. Well he was the furthest thing from a Wrestling God

Orlando Jordan - His U.S Title reign has lasted way too long.. His shown no credibilty and the Belt is a fucking joke around his waist. There are more deserving wrestlers on the roster.

**Chavo Classic** · 08-09-2005, 01:30 PM

Cena's entertaining and he's had some decent battles with JBL and Jericho, so I wouldn't say he's had a bad reign.

**AJHayes** · 08-09-2005, 01:30 PM

Orton and JBL.

**Rob** · 08-09-2005, 01:36 PM
