FAILED CHAMPS | Wrestlings Worst World Champions! 

Iron Man matches please!

Most underrated world champions in wrestling.

Couldn't drag me away from your channel. Great education for fans of all ages

hell no. biancas not on the list

Where is the year reviews???

Spot on!!

😂😂😂😂😂

Jack swagger was TERRIBLE 🤣.

Uh, that plus Angle is a legendary amateur wrestler.

jack, aka jake hagar definitely does have some personality. His stint in AEW with the stupid purple hat is pretty funny. Sure it's not the best, but I feel he got held back in WWE.

I like the All American American Jack Swagger and as far as Khali , no he’s not Shawn Michaels 😂… but that’s not who was supposed to be 🤦🏾. Andre the Giant wasn’t very mobile either but he was one of the biggest “DRAWS” in the history of the business….🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾 Marks…

At least I buy Jack Swagger and Khali as world champions due to them being big guys as alot of my idea of world champions are big guys like Undertaker, Kane, Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns, Big Show as well as Brock Lesnar.

​@@Cobane823 yeah he's the mark....sure

@@xxcam95xx7 absolutely to even mention Brain Kendrick as a world champ 🤣…. N far as for you captain save a bitch lol based on your response I’m not sure if you even know what a “MARK” is 😂🤣😂😂

@@xxcam95xx7 N Just to educate you … “MARKS” based their opinions on “cool “ moves ,flips, and work rate 😂🤣….somebody like myself would be considered a “SMARK” “SMART MARK” because i actually understand the wrestling “BUSINESS “ 🤣🤣😂🤣…. It’s about putting asses in the seats …”DRAWING MONEY “ 😭🤣😂….n Brain Kendrick ain’t never put one ass in a seat 🤣😂🤣😂😂

he has much more personality now though... he even has a hat

​@@Robyamdamhe LIKES that hat!

I don't remember liking or hating him, but I most definitely remember him as an unstoppable monster. I remember thinking he was going to kill Mysterio, or Ric Flair with his head squeeze (vice grip?)

I wasn’t afraid of Undertaker or Kane as a kid. But I sure was afraid of Khali that I had to hold my mom’s hand while watching him. 😂😂

Kids are not the only demographic that watch wrestling though. I’ve been a fan since 1996 & can tell you I was way more scared & in awe of Kane & Taker than I was Khali.

@@princessarwen9194 never said he was better than Kane or taker (2 all time greats). I said he was a heel that was terrifying for kids.

Kids aren’t the only demographic, or even the biggest one. Also they are the most easily pleased one. Now I’m not saying that having something more for kids is some horrible thing, but just because is for kids doesn’t mean it also can’t be good. It’s like “kids” shows or movies. They can be for kids and also be really really good. A recent movie that comes to mind is the new puss in boots. Hell the greatest show ever is arguably avatar the last airbender. Wrestling shouldn’t be an exception to this. You can make something for kids and also make it good

This is a plan B

Also, he went through an actual extreme wrestling short career. I think he has purged his sins.

Arquette could still kick the asses of half the AEW roster.

I though in wwe he was stil awesome. He deserved the belt he felt like a final boss you can't move

Random bruh in there. Nice

This is about his WWE title run which was dogshit.

He was a beast in Japan...but by the time he got to WWE he was a hallow shell of what he was before as his knees were shot. After his failed main event run he was just solely used in comedy angles to hide his weaknesses.

He should have been world champion the year prior

Should never have been champion he was a draw without it. Undertaker was always a draw without the title too.

@@angryboxingfan he looks good with the belt

​@@angryboxingfanAre you kidding? If Taker never had a title reign fans would've bitched for years and accused Vince of robbing him of the belt.

@@Akirathehusky I never said Taker shouldn’t have had a belt I said he didn’t need one. The issue is once you put a belt on guys that don’t need them, how do you get it off without making them look weak. Taker had a 6 year then 8 year gap between title reigns. As I said he didn’t need a belt, he was always an attraction.

Oh but wait, they did.

"WE, the people!"

You just mentioned his manager

@moycorbin4750 I meant just paul have no idea why I added Zeb for

True I'm 28 so I didn't know about WCW but due to my research that championship was passed around like a blunt😂😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

For Russo, it was accidental, due to Goldberg's botched spear through the cage (that's why Russo could vacate the belt quickly).

And he paid to have the "Ironman" theme and bury the Road Warrior pop

Totally agree - he made matches as believable as possible. No shitty nonsense like Hogan or other contemporaries. He was cool.

Bret didn't do himself any favors. His immediate appearance in WCW was not well received by fans. He barely got booed or cheered one way or the other --- WCW fans didn't much care about him, and that included his initial appearance. It didn't help that Bret also had a very poor attitude at the time, which he's maintained throughout the decades, growing ever more bitter from one year to the next. His main problem as a performer is that he was not an adaptable personality. That's the real reason for his downfall, and why Vince threw him to the way side, and why he couldn't hack it in WCW. The truth is that Bret was an old school wrestling personality: fantastic in-ring wrestler with limited mic skills and a rather static personality. Even when WWF turned him heel, Bret was highly resistant to the idea. He wouldn't fully embrace the heel turn (because in his head he was always the good guy) which cultivated the whole "I'm a face in Canada but a heel in America" angle that limped on into nothingness. Bret was at his best when he went full-on asshole heel--something he would not do for personal reasons (arrogance, really). Furthermore, while DX were bending the rules and changing the game across the WWF landscape, Bret remained static and did what he did best: be boring old Bret Hart. And the Hart Foundation as a result looked like a bunch of stick in the mud buffoons any time they engaged in a mic-spat with DX. Shawn and HHH constantly made Bret look like a chump. They did this intentionally. And Bret wasn't agile and/or witty enough to react to their constant (albeit immature and intolerable) beratements and shenanigans. The crowd, meanwhile, smelled what DX was cooking, which further empowered them at the cost of belittling Bret Hart and his associates. Times were changing.... Bret screwed Bret. He was his own worst enemy. He was an old soul caught in the crossfire of a rapidly changing landscape that he couldn't keep up with. Nor did he make even the slightest attempt to to. Had he entered WCW with a positive mindset, had he made the attempt to change his personality and look (ditch the faded blue jeans, the Canadian hockey jerseys, adapt to the WCW landscape, play the political game a bit) then perhaps he would have had more of an impact in his WCW arrival. But he did none of those things. He didn't even try. He came in being the same old Bret Hart that everyone had grown tired of by 1998. Bischoff and Hogan were far from being stupid. They knew what sold. Bret didn't sell. That's what Vince realized by 1997, and that's why Vince sided with the other guy. Bischoff and Hogan realized that quickly, too. For others, it took years to come to that realization. There's still some people out there who haven't haven't yet awakened to that reality. While Bret is perhaps the best technical professional wrestler to do the damn thing, which includes some of the best in-ring storytelling and move executions imaginable, his strength and skillset were only one side of the 2000-era wrestling coin. The other side, which demanded wrestlers to constantly shift and expand their personality, become more charismatic as a performer, and to embrace the ever-changing modern culture as it impacted wrestling ... those stood opposite to Bret's strengths. That was just not who he was as a person. Not all of us are that way. Most in fact aren't. And that's what truly led to his downfall in wrestling. Unfortunate events like his brother's death as well as the other issues with dwindling members of his family sure didn't help his mentality at the time, either. But even today you see Bret for who he always was: an unadaptable personality, unyielding in his single-mindedness, and ever-so-bitter. Hell, the guy can't let the Goldberg thing go some 30 years later. Any time he gets a chance, "Goldberg is the most unprofessional-----" Yeah, Bret. We heard you. We get it. We've got it since 2000. It's time to move on... But to my overall point: Bret could never move on. It's not who he is as a personality. And that's why he failed after 1997.

@@SlickMajestic his downfall was caused by the fact that he was an uncomplicated guy in a field where most people were "plans within plans" types. Loyal to money and not much else. he has a right to be bitter, it's just that being bitter is never the best thing for you. I am sure the complication of the concussions don't help him mood or willingness to forgive. it would be better for him if he could, but there it is. I think a lot of your analysis is correct about him being the same year after year and that it was limiting him. but he was still a big draw for a long time and even when he was, they did not always treat him fairly.

@@theoverunderthinker I agree. I believe Bret's time had come and gone, and Bret didn't do himself any favors once he "left" the WWF. Like you said, he was an uncomplicated guy in an era that became very complicated and also very political. In that environment, at that time, one had to play the politics game to prosper. The Game was the The Game for a reason. Hell, the dude married into the politics... :D End of the day, Bret simply wished to be an old school wrestler,, which is how he was raised and what he was best at. Unfortunately for Bret, straight wrestling was the last thing fans or creative cared about from 1997-2004 and even beyond. :D I like what you said: he had every right to be bitter (he did!) but being bitter often works against someone. It definitely did here. And his enthusiasm for the sport had to be greatly diminished following the family losses, his health, and the overall trajectory wrestling was taking, which Bret seemed disinclined to favor or embrace.

@@SlickMajestic well said.

I'm pretty sure none of that happened since Savage never missed any dates, and Vince isn't going to change the main event of wrestlemania because of someone "accidentally" winning a title.

English has left the chat ..

@@aceofspades001 😂😂😂😂😂😂

​@@aceofspades001India moment.

​​@@SirDankleberryI don't think he's Indian ..... though I'll say Khali is still a memorable character unlike other wrestlers in the list , still if he gets a return he has a good pop in any crowd . For me it's like big show, Khali, stroman and Omas recently.... And fact he was made a joke is just usless was disappointing, Imean dude really strong 💪...... Hmmmmm..... PERIOD !!!!!!

I Think you are right on the money

Hogan and NWO BS. And simple incompetence as well.

I was still a loyal WCW viewer at the time. WCW had Hart debut as a ref then teased is he associated with the NWO for way too long. WCWs collapse was unbelievable in how swift and complete it happened.

There’s 6 reasons why Bret’s WCW run amounted to jack all of nothing: 1. That 2. Doesn’t 3. Work 4. For 5. Me 6. Brother

I watched it live. Bret acted like he didnt care about WCW. He didnt in fact. It showed. We had other stars to cheer for frankly.

@@hia5235 how is he gonna care when they give him absolutely nothing at all to work with, bro was a special ref on his DEBUT

Still a shit WWE title run.

The WWF knew how to use Bret in their storyline(s). WCW didn't. NWO was a needle in the haystack for WCW, and it sounds like they never found another one after that,

Bret was a great champion if they are just talking about title reigns the title of the video should be much different

This guy seems to be quite biased towards Bret. To put him on a list of celebrities and people who can't wrestle is quite insulting. Bret could still work circles around many wrestlers at that point. You can look at the match between him and Benoit as a great example. This guy is a clown for putting Bret on this list.

Even in wwe to me he was cool.he felt like a final boss and attraction. He is huge

How does this make his WWE title run less shit?

@SirDankleberry because I don't want to see the same shit. I want to see things that intrigue and intrwst me and if tht is a huge jacked 7 foot man destroying half the roster with just a chop I'm cool with it. U don't seem to understand the storyline of it gloiath vs Davis type of story wwe was going for

@@wingedhussar1453 Engrish has been murdered.

@@SirDankleberry cool

In between

The fact that WWF/WWE offered Bret a 20-year contract back in 1996, Vince obviously wanted him to stick around. It sucks that the company was going through money troubles shortly after, and had to cancel that deal.

@@ryaka3015 but Mark Henry had that offer

@@ryaka3015 Business for WWF struggled once Shawn was WWF Champion and he became the lowest drawing champion of the 1990s outside of Kevin Nash, who went to WCW after the curtain call Shawn’s 1996 babyface WWF title run was so bad WWF was on the brink of going bankrupt and it was worse than any of Bret’s title runs 😂😂😂😂

And if they made him look scary, instead he looked like a yokel that just got done scrueing his sistur.

@@IStevenSeagal he could have been a solid heel

Bullshit

And then he repaid Jericho for that undeserved job by becoming his jobber bodyguard since joining AEW.

i forgot jack swagger was a wrestler until i saw the thumbnail

I only knew him as ECW champion because he got an instant push due to Vladimir Koslov going to Smackdown and needed someone to dethrone Matt Hardy to build his heel turn.

The only reason why I knew he was the World Champion was because of SVR 2011.

?

Slaughter as world champion was a big mistake

Transphobia: comedy welfare for conservatives. Meanwhile, in the real world, estrogen melts muscle mass and no trans woman has won Olympic gold. But ciswomen have beaten each other to literal death in mixed martial arts. Also, the transwoman who won AEW gold put on good matches with her peers, unlike Harvey there. Get over it, crybaby. Trans brains resemble the brains of the sex they identify with, even before taking hormones.

give me a legit reason why jinder is the worst ? besides the knowledge that hes the jobber?also tell me howcome rey,,hardy,big show,batista(not whc but wwe title) better than him?

@@Mega_Collosas Okay. So he might not be THE worst world champion. I just chalk it up to bad booking. Nothing against Jinder but the reasons he was pushed to the WWE Championship were because of his physique and the fact that WWE were trying to get into the Indian market.

@@jeremywilliams5141 yeah .but that doesnt make hi der the worst....i agree its dumb for wwe to make a jobber champion with zero build..but there have been far worse reigns ... surprisingly hes had a better reign than icons ,huge babyfaces if the past....and comparing his promos to any champion today ...who is really so qbove him on the mic ?

Mahal's reign wasn't inherently bad. It's literally because he went from Jobber to the guy in the blink of an eye. I get wanting to crack the Indian Market from a business POV it makes sense but they should've legitimised the dude first.

@@austinanderson3379 best wwe ecw champ ,durag vince

It didn't because Russo's reign WASN'T about him 🤣👍. It was about Goldberg, Booker T and others chasing him for the title. The only reason Russo made himself champ was tell help get people over more 👍. Almost every week he was getting beat up on tv 😂. One of the most iconic beatdowns was a damn near 300lbs Goldberg speared Vince Russo through a cage. You gotta be a real humble person to be willing to accept something like that.

​@@SS-tg8lf lmfao The fact that you believe any of that garbage you just wrote is utterly hilarious. Bahahahahaha holy shit

It should have been Captain Charisma 😭 that would have been huge for him.

Kofi, Christian or McIntyre were definitely far more over it should have been one of those three

He IS....???

What year did khali go in?? Also the rock is obviously gonna go in he seemingly isnt ready yet

Rock will go on, relax there chief

The Rock is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. 👍 It CAN'T just be a normal situation when he goes in . He'll get in the hall of Fame eventually. But not right now

At this point literally the only reason the Rock isn’t in the hall of fame is because he’s choosing not to, you’re crazy if you think they haven’t been trying to get him in

They had to get the belt on Hogan and you had the first war with Iraq at that time so turn Slaughter heel and put the belt back on Hogan.

seriously, only 27 defenses in a thousand days and none of them were clean. will never understand this whole "1000 days" fame B.S. Roman was pushed and forced to years to be the new Rock, except Roman has zero charisma and half the audience hates him and are tired of it.

Enjoy ☝🏻🤘🏻☝🏻💪🏻

Easy

Agreed, the transitional champs always fulfilled their purpose by getting heat while switching the belt from one guy to the next, so, not failures.

Nah thts not true They let jack swagger be himself in his skits where he was the same goofball personality but it just didn't workout as a top star

Good catch. Also, not to be a stickler, but Andy kept saying Slaughter got the strap in 90, and it was actually 91.

@@fightfiendmiggs7473 yep. I caught that too but I let it slide.

Cool but this is about his WWE title run which was shit.

Khali in wwe was the 💩

Gerry Brisco

Russo was the best champion bro. Okay no but still I had the same reaction.

Because it actually helped the show. Russo as champ getting beat up every week helped get an up and coming Goldberg more OVER than before. 👍

"shoot" ok I see what you did there 😂😂😂💯

❤

as much as i enjoy AEW , hes boring! all he got is " i love this hat" no booking in the world can get this guy over

I disagree, since he is the exact same wrestler he was in WWE, just with better name: great physique, strong, great amateur wrestling skills, zero charisma. The best Jack has been able to achieve is the quirk of loving his hat silly purple hat, which whilst funny does not exactly make someone main event material.

He hasn't evolved at all and is perhaps even more boring than he was in WWE keep him far from the title scene and just keep using him as silent muscle that's all he's good for, outstanding amateur talent doesn't always translate into the pro wrestling world sadly for him

​@@doshi066 True.When you compare him and Cm Punk its a big difference.Both held championship but only one of them could make it legit.

Doesn't change anything, the guy sucked.

​@@CeruleanBlue61he draws more than any guy today not named roman ,brock or some few part timers ....

@@CeruleanBlue61 A lot of people have tried to be wrestling promoters. The only one who has had sustained success is also the one that couldn't care less if they suck. Asses in seats. That's it

There's a reason why he didn't stick around

@@adrenalineunlimited him being a draw doesn't change the fact he was a bad champ, the popularity of the wrestler wasn't the topic of the video.
