10 Wrestlers Who Should Have Been WWE Champion 

Really I was expecting at least some current day entries

@@bubbleraydiddly3334 current wrestlers still have a chance of becoming champion one day.

Some of it was politics some of it was just Hogan was that over and during that era being that over you had to have the title. Hogan refused to put some guys over in title matches that needed it or would have been best for business at that time.

That is where story comes in. Hogan can easily lose and you still have him being the top guy. What you do is put a guy like Perfect with the title. Him out wrestle Hogan where Hogan would often out power people. So now Hogan has to get better with his technical wrestling. This make Hogan more well rounded no matter how much Perfect carries the match. It will end with Hogan winning showing that he is just that good. Thus Hogan the super face chasing the title from an arrogant heel. Winner Hogan putting Hogan over. Sometime the best thing for business is taking the title away from the top guy so he can look hungry for the belt and chase said belt. Which in the end would have strengthen Hogan and could have kept him going longer till people were tired of him. Drawing out the reign and putting other guys over at the same time. Also Ted being champion would have been an awesome one too. It comes down to the story and their unwilling to take risks in that era. It is the flip with Cena he wins and loses so often that his title reigns don't matter. Hogan's reigns look strong but could have been stronger losing to guys who were better in a technical sense and make Hogan look even that much better when he wins. I would also say that Hogan can actually wrestle. He isn't the best in the world or anything but Hogan could go. Watch his stuff in Japan even in his later days in the WWF when he went to Japan he would put on great matches. He doesn't get enough credit in that area. He was decent enough to change up his style enough.

Hahaha, before I came down to see the top comment I was thinking the same thing.

Well havksaw big John Andre Bundy bambam

Andre would tell him. I mean Haku once told that Andre insulted him and Haku was ready to fight him but admitted that he doubt he could win that fight And I can understand, just look at that massive hands

Work on a Sunday? Oof

Exactly what I was thinking, they really glossed over that BIG issue with him. It’s precisely why they fired him so quickly after he came back.

Yep. He would have been a WCW champ at some stage but they couldn't put the belt on him for the same reason the WWF couldn't. Terrible shame because he was a great wrestler. Held the US and IC titles though, along with a memorable run as WCW Tag Champ with Nash as The Outsiders.

Blue Thunder if there is any justice in the world, he will hold that title. Everybody knows he deserves it

Well put. Also, I love Owen, but he was never a big draw main event type guy like Perfect, Jake, Rude, Piper and Orndorff. It's criminally Hoganish that none of them held the belt.

Hey Kofi did. R.i.p Owen Hart

He's just needs one were championship run seeing as held every other championship

lol no

Raven should be on this list

Kofi Kingstons The WWE Champion Now

@@New-York-Guy-90. Figure that out by yourself?

No, yes, yes, no, maybe

Where is Curt Hennig?

You know that Vader was WCW Champ one time in WCW.

My top 5 list would be: 1. Davey Boy Smith 2. Rowdy Roddy Piper 3. Jake Roberts 4. Mr. Perfect 5. Owen Hart / Scott Hall (can't decide) But it was an era when title runs were often much longer than they are now and other titles meant more (main eventers often held the IC and European titles before they were watered down and eventually gotten rid of altogether).

As much as I loved steamboat he doesn’t need to be wwe champion.

@@iliketrains3495 Just my personal opinions. He was super over back then.

@@iliketrains3495 I suppose you're right. Hey! I forgot to include John Morrison, aka Johnny Nitro/Mundo/Impact.

I had to go check, because I could’ve sworn Santana held the belt at some point, but you’re right. He was IC champion twice, tag team champion twice, and KotR once, but never WWF champion.

Tito Santana... the best face wrestler of all fucking time that nobody remembers...

Sandow too? in my opinion Yes,that man was over with us the fans.

Taylor the Tweaker well it was a transitional reign so it was probably better Owen didn’t have it then considering he would have been squashed by Diesel while holding the belt for 3 days

@@paddystrongjaw9995 I gotta agree

Bob backlund was doing great work and promo. His legacy speak for himself, to be respcted.

@@carlosrivera4915Backlund only dropped the belt after 3 days because he didn’t want to be champion. Backlund wanted a light schedule and was happy to give it to Diesel

Elijah Burke? You are reaching with that one bro

Ahmed and lashley*

Matt Hardy

Big E

I actually did two takes. One with math, one with maths. I told Richard to use the correct one so BLAME HIM.

I Like Trains its RICHARDHEAD to you, sir

Just One Guy because us Irish are talented workhorse's. Mind u 1 English man stands out. A real man man's... William Regal

Anto Dixon William Regal is the most underrated professional wrestler of all time in my opinion. An absolute legend. (I'd rate Christian as a close second in terms of being underrated but he is a former World Champ)

UK, Blacks, and Asians sadly haven't held the WWE Championship.

@@thetruej7872 which is sad cuz Booker T, Mark Henry, Shinsuke, Wade Barret and William Regal were easy picks. I know there were backstage things stopping some, but god damn man!

Jalen Payton the rock is technically black.

Blame John Cena

@@ayejayreviews8760 Blame Vince McMahon

@@thetruej7872 lol but I thought he like big sweaty men

No way Cesaro. He's average on the mic

@@thomasclark-puia5864 Didn't stop Roman Reigns

Jonathan King R

1. That animatronic Chucky from the segment with Rick Steiner

To me William regal is 100% a mid carder.

@@nu-metalfan2654 he had so much potential to be a main eventer though

To me William Regals is 100% a hall of famer too

In what world is kofi Kingston a main event guy.

Numetalfan 22 this world

Nu-Metalfan 23 The world we’re in right now

Ur wish has came true

Unfortunately Matt Osborne was canned in ‘93 for drugs. The character was mostly played by jobbers, and after Osborne the person playing him changed frequently.

And had the look Vince drooled over.

Exact same applies to Mr Perfect

Shelton Benjamin should have been wwe champion.

Ummmm….. how could he had been considered for the Invasion angle when it wasn’t even thought of when he died TWO years before Vince bought out WCW? WCW was still going strong at the time Owen died. Please get your facts straight before posting gibberish like that.

OMG!

I can see WCW champion but he only was a tag team wrestler in WWE as part of the brain busters.

@Sarim Ahmad I hope not

Ron Simmons and William regal were never main event guys imo but a good pick in Kerry Von Eric I thought he could have been a world champion in WWF/E.

Numetalfan 22 each to their own (I for example never saw Batista as a world champion really, but given his size it was inevitable) Yeah while that family was plagued by tragedy I thought he was going to go places

Spankster well Vince is a bit racist

I Like Trains I hope you’re right and that’s the only reason a true legend like Blackman is left off 😂
