      I would of been happy with a Universal Title sure but what made the WHC vs WWE Championship saga interesting in the brand split was how both looked unique and prestigious against each other it felt like both champions were in a big dick swinging contest proving they have the better belt and they are the better champion
      Universal Championship vs WWE Championship just feels like: HEY! I got the most prestigious championship in WWE! Well umm... Uhhh OOH I know I GOT The same belt but in roll up form! T_T Honestly reviving the big gold belt for the universal championship as lazy as it was rumored to be would be far more effort than giving us a roll up version of the wwe title

Although personally I rather have the Undisputed title back and have both the Intercontinental title and the United States title as the main belts for each brand.

      Mister Who it suited him the most and I believe sometimes the fans aren’t always right when it comes to champions cause I believed the most deserving people should be Rey Mesterio and Kofi Kingston these people go unrecognized for the amount of time in the business and the passion they put in their work and they deserve to have it more then 14 days.

    • @tac-os2970
      @tac-os2970 5 років тому +9

      Finally someone said it! Without a great Heel there is no such thing as an babyface and sometimes the WWE gets this wrong especially when it came to Randy Orton he made a better crazy dude then just about anybody out there. Pushing Batista’s babyface was cool just as he was beating Triple H and going to Smackdown right after. But once he betrayed Rey Mysterio and became Heel they should’ve kept him there cause even at that He made a better heel so he could push other wrestlers who would make better babyface’s then him to win. By then he was there long enough to start pushing other people’s careers, but they kept baby facing him and the fans eventually stopped liking it and I understand that cause by then he would’ve made an better heel after that long anyways just saying.

But I wasn't worried because all the post match was on Christian not on Orton. It was about how Christian had made a mistake in accepting the match against Orton on no notice and he'd lost it in a blink of an eye. It's about the story not the accolade. And besides he won it again within the story.

    Its crazy the different eras of wrestling I got to witness. As a kid i remember the dying gasps of the territory days.. I got to take a picture with Kerry Von Erich in the ring as a kid. I remember going to several different wrestling events hosted by a number of different territorial organizations. Also, in wwe the championship picture was transitioning from big dudes like Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior to Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. I remember the Monday Night Wars and flipping between USA for Raw and TNT for Nitro and doing the same for Smackdown and Thunder. Also there was always some PPV event we were throwing our money at lol. Usually twice a month we ordered one. Then the attitude era came in full swing, wwe won the Monday Night Wars, etc. I'm glad I grew up when I did. I wish I could have witnessed the 80s days, but the 90s were a great time to be a kid too.

    Amazing list and ranking (just like the previous one)! A list of the WCW champions would be amazing, but I think that the best next big thing should be ranking the intercontinental champions from worst to best. Make it happen :D !

      Dont let anybody tell you different. Benoit was amazing. Just because he created some unfortunate circumstances doesnt mean you cant appreciate what he did in the ring. I HATE when they have to apologize about putting Benoit on a list. Like no. He was incredible between the ropes. That's what this channel is about. Nothing changed. Ffs.

    You guys are literally awesome man.... I guess the error was you incorrectly stating that Shawn was defeated by hhh ... which in this video is obviously corrected...
    Buts it’s such a minute fallacy that could have been corrected by just stating it in the description or in comment section... but you went out of the way and re did the whole video....True wrestling fans you guys are....bravo

    Problem with Swagger is not only did he do a 180 personality shift when he won the title from cocky high school jock to emotionless dud but his credibility was shot immediately. Randy Orton & Undertaker pinned Swagger clean within or just after the time he won the title already setting him a bar below the real stars.
    Became impossible to take serious as a world champion, even during the period the world title was cemented as the B title in the company.
