How come WWE never had a Rocky Balboa champion?

[Mook]

Paulie Malignaggi is a fan favorite casue hes taken crazy beat downs. Arturo gatti got his face pummeled by everyone and people loved him.

Why we never seen a champion who gets his ass whooped all match and then wins on some Rocky Balboa shyt?

Dont say Rey either that coward got a pity ship off Eddies death when we all know chavo > him

He was champion multiple times

Foley fits this, but he did lose a lot

Hogan and Cena usually get beat up most of the match and come back at the end., even though nobody looks at them as underdogs.

Mikey Whipwreck in ECW

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Cena was doing that for a while mid decade. When Triple H was in the title scene he was shooting on his wrestling skills

 

[Slystallion]

nobody got their ass whipped more than Hogan in his matches only to come back in the end like Rocky...he even had Eye of the Tiger as his first real theme during Hulkamania in WWE and AWA until Vince realized he had to pay a royalty fee for that song and all the pop songs they used

 

[River_trey]

Daniel Bryan for a little while when they were putting him against Show and Henry during his WHC reign. He was a heel though

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

This was Bret Hart in the mid-90s. Dude was getting the work from guys like Diesel, Yokozuna, Bam Bam and Hakushi only to win out of nowhere with a victory roll, small package or roll up.

Santino

They missed the boat with that twice! When he was the rumble runner up and the Chamber when it was him and Bryan. The crowd was ready for a Santino Balboa run

Only time I ever rooted for Cena in a match post chain gang thug Cena
