Greatest Champions...
Who do you think have been the best Champs. I am not saying they mayb have been the besy wrestlers, but who put the titles over the best? You can pick any title, just say who made the belt seem the most worth while...
I'll start with an easy one, Rob Van Dam was the best thing to ever happen to the ECW Television Championship... Quote:

Kurt Angle, of course, Chris Benoit, Bret Hart, Eddie Guererro, Macho King Randy Savage, Ric Flair, The Rock, Triple H (When he was fit), Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels...
...and those were all WWF Champions. That's right, with the "F"!! |

You kind of listed a lot of guys, I was looking for more who did the most to elevate the specific title...which not to be a pain in the ass, Benoit never held the WWF Championship, and Ric Flair (as much as I do love him) did jack shit to increase the value of the belt.
Also if your making a big deal about the "WWF" then Eddie never held it either... |

Screw it...I've got time...here we go...
WWE WWE/World: Bret Hart (Steve Austin close second, not so much for his reigns, but more for his quests to get it) IC/US: Scott Hall Euro: William Regal Hardcore: Al Snow Tag: New Age Outlaws WCW World: Ric Flair US: Goldberg TV: Booker Hardcore: Never had a credible champ Tag: Never had anyone who made me care about the titles... ECW World: Shane Douglas TV: Rob Van Dam Tag: Eliminators NWA World: Ric Flair (Harley Race is damn close though) TV: Tully Blanchard Tag: Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard TNA-X: Samoa Joe (damn it pains me to say that, but he gets people into the X Title) |

One Superstar for me would just have to be Kurt Angle. The guys showed us that coming into the business, he picked up quickly and learned the styles needed to bring to the WW"F"... ...LOL!! Kurt held it strongly, and does a great job with promos, his skills are far greater than most in the business today and then for that matter. Kurt also does a great job putting others over in the ring, and also goes to far lengths to take care of those he faces as well. So for me if it was one... ...would be Kurt Angle. |

British Bulldog was easily the greatest European champion of all time.
That would be the easiest title for me to decide upon. |

I dunno One. I would make the same exact argument for the Ultimate Warrior/IC Title that you would probably make for Goldberg/US Title. I agree with you on Goldberg. To me, Warrior made that IC Belt seem as big as The World Title. Same with Goldberg.
Other easy choices for me Crusier: Jericho Euro: Bulldog TV: Tully |

Warrior was a FANTASTIC IC Champ. Personally I think Hall was far better, but no doubt he elevated the title a lot.
While we are on it I think Warrior is one of the most under appreciated wrestlers of all time by Smarks. |

I think I just hated 1995 so much that Hall's reign will always suffer with me. He was a great champ though.

WWE/World: Hulk Hogan, even though I hate the guy. He was the champ that brought pro wrestling mainstream. Can't think of anything more elevating than that. IC: Ultimate Warrior...especially after winning the WWF Title while being IC Champ. Euro: D'Lo Brown Hardcore: Al Snow Tag: Demolition WCW World: Sting...would be Flair but Sting was around for the long haul. US: Goldberg TV: Booker Hardcore: Never had a credible champ Tag: Harlem Heat ECW World: Shane Douglas TV: Rob Van Dam Tag: Dudleys NWA World: Ric Flair US: Dusty Rhodes TV: Arn Anderson Tag: Rock N' Roll Express |
