Best Wrestlers who never held the World Title

[CovDiesel]

I would have to say Ted DiBiase.

This man had major heat for most of his career... and never won the belt.

Heels like DiBiase just don't come around anymore.

[FTW2285]

yeah i agree, dibiase should have held it, he was one of the greatest heels and could carry a good match. I also think MR. Perfect should have held it since he was a good wrestler and also played a good heel.

Owen Hart, that guy deserved more almost everybody on the roster at the time of his death. God bless his soul.

Man all three of those are going to be hard to top
Maybe Tito Santana in the mid 80's he had so much of a face pop it was incredible
Rick Rude is another (im assuming WWE here)
and probably Jake Roberts during his run in the mid 80's
Oh yeah, wouldnt you have loved to see papa shango holding the title

I will agree with Jimmy Snuka and Rick Rude, those were the first two I thought of actually. I also think Ricky Steamboat should've held it.

[MHasegawa]

I believe that DeBiase was supposed to win the World Title at WM 4, but obviously that was nixed for some reason I don't remember.

Mr. Perfect, hands down.

Athleticism, skill and charisma far beyond any other mid-carder but only played second fiddle to Flair.

Pedro Morales did win the World Title, he defeated Ivan Koloff back in 1971.

Thanks to Hisaharu Tanabe for the information.

Gorilla Monsoon also held the title

Ricky Steamboat is a two time heavyweight champion having defeated Ric Flair for the NWA/WCW World title twice

The O and A army is Legion....for WE...ARE... MANY.

[jamesdiggy]

Farouq(Ron Simmons) was WCW World champion in the early 90's.
I'd also ad "Flyin" Brian Pillman.

Not yet -- maybe after this season when he turns 40.

[Se7en]

Yes, Dibiase was supposed to win the title at Wrestlemania 4. There's a semi-famous story that goes along with why he didn't.

Basically, the Honky Tonk Man, who was the IC champion at that time (IC Champ 4 LIFE!), was supposed to drop the belt to Randy Savage. He flaked, though, threatening to leave for the NWA with the title if he wasn't allowed to keep it. The plans for the heavyweight division were to have Dibiase win the title as a mega heel, and then feud over it with Hogan. The WWF got kind of panicky, and decided they wanted to have a face win the gold that night to let the fans go home happy.

I second the Owen Hart suggestion. He would have made a great champ. God, imagine if he was champ today? Imagine a feud between him and Kurt Angle! Or Benoit!

Jake "The Snake" Roberts is the greatest non-champ, just as U2 is the greatest American rock band.

Ironically for this conversation, the reason he only held 1/2 of the Tag belts for one day was because he and his partner Bob Backlund had to relinquish the belts after they won them because Bob Backlund was not allowed to hold more than one championship at a time (He was the World Champ at the time). </p><p>For a guy that doesn't really watch wrestling anymore, I can't believe I'm so passionate about title history from when I was a kid.</p><p>&nbsp;PS - Snuka, Piper &amp; Scott Hall all deserved Title runs.<br /></p>

[Grendel_Kahn]

Piper never would have had the run ( um.......his whole career) he has
had if he won a strap. He was always best as the foil.&nbsp; I can't
even imagine him being the big dog.&nbsp; Kinda like Foley.&nbsp;
Always better as a contender.&nbsp; <br />

[Flea_Man]

I always thought Rowdy Piper deserved a title run. Top heel in the 80's, he should have had the strap for a while.
