Favourite wrestlers who never got the big one

[Guest pheadley]

We have all looked back with disbelief when we see that some of are favourite wrestlers never got to carry the WWF/WWE title. Who do you look back on and think he should of got a run with the belt or would like to see get the belt but may never. I think if they could of used him better val venis could of had a real good heel run as champ, and i think sandow should get a run but wont.

Val Venis should never have had a run on top. Not everybody is world title material, people all getting their turn with the belt is what hurts it in the first place. Rey Mysterio...hmmm.

im saying if used in a different way he could of. the ringmaster wasnt title material but stone cold steve austin was.

Like in all sports/entertainment some people are born to be on top and some are there to just support the star of the show. It's not to say the mid-card aren't important because they are but they are there in support, it's the star (Rock, Hogan, Austin) that sell the tickets.

Well going by that logic, anybody could be world champion if given the right gimmick, booked perfectly and the timing is right :lol

looks like people would rather act the wrestling expert instead of giving a simple opinion on who they liked that never got a chance with the main belt. many of them, razor ramon, mr perfect, roddy piper, rick rude and jake roberts to name a few.

Ricky Steamboat, Mr Perfect.

[Guest pheadley]

two good choices would of liked to of seen perfect and bret hart for the title at a pay per view. would of been a great end to a under rated feud.

[Guest Edgehead]

Vader, Ken Shamrock, Ted Dibiase (not counting the time he "bought" it off Andre the Giant)

FAV WRESTLERS WHO NEVER GOT THE BIG 1.

 

Rude and perfect are the only two I'd say really missed out on a chance. I think generally the cream rises to the top with a few exceptions.

[Guest pheadley]

i see ken shamrock talking about wanting to come back, with hopes of a title run and a hall of fame place.

[Omega 354]

Was that on Craigavon High St or ..

Rude was WCW International World Champion, so I don't know if that should count.

Ricky Steamboat, Mr Perfect.

Steamboat is a former NWA World Champion.

 

I'd say Mr. Perfect is the main one who could have got it, but I'd say that British Bulldog also deserved a run.

No, I'm not acting the wrestling expert, I'm just not into acting the fool and saying jobbers like Val Venis should have been world champion. Thank God you arent booking anything or they'd be out of business. You want my simple opinion? My simple opinion is that your opinion is the shits.

 

ok lets look at your picks.

 

Razor Ramon: Possibly, but he never came across as a main eventer to me, he was perfectly suited to the IC division.

Mr Perfect: Couldnt draw, even with Hogan. Their feud bombed and in 1990 - 1991, he was never going to get a run, he wasnt a big enough star.

Roddy Piper: Taking the belt off Hogan in 1984 during his drawing peak would have been like burning money - stupid idea.

Rick Rude: Couldnt draw, was perfect IC material, used exactly as he should have been, same goes for Jake, I think he should have had an IC run, but not on top.

 

I think you are more picking guys you liked and saying they should have had a run rather than actually thinking it through and taking into account everything that, at the times they were wrestling, it took to get a run with the belt.
