So who HAS been, politically 'the one' in wwe history at any given point and time
- Thread starter Ed MOTHEREFFING G
- Start date
Ed MOTHEREFFING G
Chances make champions
To be honest, do you think Diesel deserves a mention? I mean, if HHH is getting them when he was only champ on the opposite show during Brock's reign, Diesel held the strap for an entire year. I mean, you think Diesel's reign was in the middle of Bret/HBK's?
And low key, with the WWE changing the belt from Cena's spinner to the current design we are entering a new era right now, but is it CM Punks or DBry's?
for those who say savage wasnt the one...
He was personally hand selected by Hulk Hogan to hold the strap while he was off to shoot no holds barred,because he felt he was the best worker in the company and had all the tangibles it takes to carry the torch,which set in motion his face turn
He was DEFINITATELY THE ONE 87-89
not too mention co-headliend Wrestlemania VII&VIII,which is when WWE started promoting Double Main Event at the show

Triple H was the #1 face in 02 still mad they turned him heel
Bruno (Backlund, Andre as backup)
Hogan (Savage and Warrior as backup)
Bret (HBK, Diesel, Taker as backup)
Austin/Rock (HHH, Lesnar, SD! 6 as backup)
Cena (Batista, Jeff, Edge, Orton, Bryan, Punk as backup)
IMO

Bruno was a diffrent era,,,,Backlund and Andre were NEVER his backupsBruno (Backlund, Andre as backup)

True about the different era but Bruno was undoubtedly THE face of Vince Sr.'s WWWF over either of them hence them getting title runs AFTER him.
Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh on Andre, wasn't my intention.

I dont know I keep hearing the argument for HHH but the more I look back I just cant find a place for him. I cant find anytime where he was "the one" on an overall roster.

HHH was never the "one" to me. He was just there and it was completely forced and forgettable. There's no way I can see putting him over Lesnar.
wait's for R&G's opinion and his more than likely entertaining eviscerating of HHH's career
Bret to hbk to austin to rock to brock is very unquestionable. Specific main events show this.
Unrelated? Lesnar kind of dominated
Andre was never really "The guy" in the WWE
If you just mean "Top of the promotion, carry us for the next 5 years"
Hogan - Major success
Warrior - Major failure
Bret Hart - Failure
Shawn Michaels - Failure
Steve Austin - Major success
The Rock - Major success
John Cena - Success
