Who’s the best wrestler to never win a WWE or NWA/WCW world title?

[TheGreatShowtime]

Since Rick Rude was the WCW International Champion (big gold belt) and Curt Hennig was the AWA Champion, I'm going with Owen Hart. Owen should've won the title at SummerSlam 1994. It would've added more fuel to the fire to the feud with Bret. I don't think he would've necessarily been a good champion at the time, but that feud would've been cemented as one of the greatest if it had happened.

What I mean is: The big gold belt was still being used for the NWA Championship, and WCW still picked who the NWA Champion would be. Ric Flair was both WCW and NWA Champion when he dropped the title to Rude, which the NWA didn't agree with so they ended the relationship completely, WCW kept the belt and renamed it.

Also had a 2nd chance wen bret left
Feud was there with him and michaels
For the belt but of course didnt happen

Jake Roberts of course
Rick Rude win the international title in WCW
DiBiase had the perfect gimmick to be heel champion though

Mr. Perfect should have had a transitional run as a work horse similar to Bret in 92

Hogan’s bytch ass didn’t want to work with him.

Voted Rick

Voted for Rick Rude. Curt was a close 2nd. My boy Arn was also a close 2nd. Always thought he should have gotten a run and a feud with Flair.

I was waiting or someone to mention this.

The fans were red hot for Owen after Montreal, the whole crowd was chanting his name here...


And all we got was some half assed match on Raw before he was shoved down to the midcard to get Hunter over.

I always felt that Perfect should've gotten the run with the title in '92 instead of Bret.


My vote would go to either Piper who should've had a run with the belt in 84-85 or Dibiase would should've won it at WMIV, IMO.

THIS.
I always felt like mr perfect should've got bret hart's spot.
the WWF also should've gave us a macho man/mr perfect feud over the belt.
they basically chased their audience away and handed them over to WCW, the same way SEGA basically handed their audience over to the PlayStation.

but wait, is ted dibiase not in the record books as WWF champion??

I feel like instead of Diesel getting that long run with the title in 94/95, it should’ve been Owen. Diesel’s run bombed in part because outside of Shawn Michaels, there were no credible heels for him to really work with and even HBK went face after Mania. But with Owen as champion you had Diesel/Bret/HBK/Taker/Razor and maybe even a reheated Lex to feud with. But the WWF was still a babyface territory then so

Disagree. Perfect as a face wouldn't have worked in a Bret reign. Perfect as a heel though should have beaten Hogan at some point. Win it after winning the 1990 Rumble and drop it back at Wrestlemania 6 to Warrior or Hogan.

Hogan nixed working with Perfect. That whole undefeated streak with the perfect promos was supposed to build up to him winning the Royal Rumble and getting a title shot at Wrestlemania, but Hoegan knew Curt, like Bret Hart would make him look foolish in the ring so he ran to Vince.
