Anyways no arguments from me at the end of the day wrestling needs guys like Jericho and D Bry who are maineventers willing to put people over.
The fact that Daniel Bryan pulled backstage strings to get Kofi to become wwe champion, shows how to use backstage powers the right way unlike shawn Michaels
Shawn did what any true friend would do and that's help his people/family make all the money. It's a gangsta ass business and only the ruthless survive. The ones who aren't afraid to cut legs to make it to the top. Sounds like the "victims" of the clique were just to soft for this business. 🙄
Tbh the belt is ordinary if the creative doesn't make it a big deal. Back in the day creative was so good and they made that gold the most important thing in the world. So I would be more than happy with that beautiful gold not coming back. This era don't deserve it
I always thought the same but considering the way the Universal title was booked, we're better off without it. That belt deserves way better than what the UV title has been through
All offense intended: Eddie, Daniel, and Kofi were more deserving than most people who have had it or were "supposed" to have it. They all were/are more worthy that Roman Reigns has been lately.
Rhino had a two-day stint as NWA World Heavyweight Champion in 2005 due to Kevin Nash having chest pains. At TNA's first _Bound for Glory_ PPV, Rhino won a Monster's Ball match, then Gauntlet for the Gold before defeating Jeff Jarrett in a singles match. Jarrett won the rematch on _Impact,_ TNA being patient and all.
Nothing against Jericho but I would much rather watched Angle get that spot. When you think of what all Angle accomplished, him being the first undisputed champ would fit right in naturally.
@@kalonb5101 yeah, but he's saying that sheamus was supposed to jump through the table on the outside of the ring at the same time making the match a no contest.
Both of Kurt's first 2 reigns were detours from the long term plan. He only won the title as a reward fro finishing the Summerslam main event despite his concussion. Its obvious in hindsight that was meant to be the Rock's long term reign leading to his Mania main event with Austin this Angle dropping the belt back at Now Way Out.
In a booking meeting Triple H questioned whether putting the belt on Angle the first time was a good idea citing he may not be big and/or tough enough. Gerry Brisco said to him go out to the parking lot and have a shoot fight with him and see for yourself. Needless to say HHH shut right up.
I think the gauntlet match the week or two before elimination chamber was where people seen Kofi in a different light. It made him to be the fighting baby face that everyone wanted to cheer for at the chamber
I was at the David Von Erich Memorial Parade of Champions, and even at age 11, it was probably the most emotional moment of my wrestling fandom. RIP, Modern Day Warrior!
Luckily they actually showed WCCW way up here in Wisconsin back then, so I got to see it on television. One of the best events I have watched. To this day though, I'm still convinced that the Von Erich family is cursed.

@CultaholicWrestling I have another request,well more like an idea for a list. 10 Crusierweight/Jr.Heavyweight/Light Heavyweight Class Wrestlers who went on to become World Champions. i.e. Rey Mysterio,Chris Jericho,Shawn Michaels etc
@@Crowvithian very well, for a lack of better term,yes. My apologies for the long windedness. I get carried away when it comes to knowledge and fandom Wrestling Related. I'm in re-learning mode so again my apologies.
Yeah its sad but at that time WWE book Eddie to win the world title against Batista they book it for Rey but we all know Vince hates little men so it fell short. Its a bittersweet title nonetheless
As much as Kofi winning the belt was a feel good moment, I'll always be gutted it signalled the end of the eco warrior gimmick and the wooden belt. The gimmick had so much potential and it's always great when a heel is 100% correct and people boo because he makes them uncomfortable. Especially given how lacklustre kofis reign was I wish they'd just given him the belt for a month or two before dropping it back to Bryan.
I, much like a lot of other people, loved to hate JBL, but for me is why I liked him as much as I did. He was and is a douchebag, but can’t deny the fact that he will go down as one of the greatest heels in history.
I liked the whole Cabinet thing he had where his faction held Smackdown's titles, because even with him weaseling out of stuff, the champion could still be involved and embarrassed without being beaten. And to anyone who says the JBL experiment was a failure, it pretty much made John Cena.
In the trump era. I’m surprised a jbl type character hasn’t appeared. Homie was a legendary heel off of just basing his character off of being republican
An honorable mention would be Seamus' 1st title when he beat Cena in a tables match. Another honorable mention would be heel Sgt. Slaughter in his traitor role during the period around the Gulf War.
You mean Jinder Mahal was supposed to happen? Worst WWE champion ever I would say worst World champion ever but there is David Arquette as WCW champion
A lot of these things raise a lot of questions for me personally. For example, did WWE have plans for the 2006 Royal Rumble before Eddie passed away? What about with Wrestlemania 30?
Man, I really wished Mustafa Ali never got injured in 2019. Just imagine it, he'd be a former world champion. They could do an Ali/Kofi program but it'd be stuck in the mid card sadly.
Hbk was never meant to win the rumble. It was originally meant to be Duke Droese at number 30, but the pressure of knowing he was booked to win the gold at mania 12 got too much for him and in an act of cowardice , he jumped over the top rope and eliminated himself.
one could argue that okada's first title reign should be on here, as before he was the rainmaker, no one really cared about okada, and even after his excursion, he came back to little fanfare, so when an arrogant, smarmy heel okada beat the hero of njpw tanahashi for the belt, it was a massive shock to everyone. thankfully everyone came to accept him and he has become one of the biggest legends in japanese wrestling history, as well as already being one of the all-time great in-ring performers
Just because the result was surprising to fans does not mean it was not supposed to happen. NJPW planned to have Okada win there. The fanbase might not have been ready yet, but Gedo had that planned. A better example may be Jay White. He would not have become IWGP champion if Omega did not leave the company to join AEW. As a matter of fact, the Tanahashi run in 2019 from Wrestle Kingdom was also a surprise due to Omega leaving.
@@MorbidFayde I would lean toward Ibushi. At the time, there was concern he was going to AEW as well. The Golden Lovers explode was a storyline in progress. Omega would have retained. Since Ibushi was a flight risk and Omega was gone, Tanahashi won the G1 and the title. He transitioned it to White after. The original plan, in my opinion, was Omega holding the title until MSG and losing it back to Okada. That would have been much longer than most recent first time IWGP championship reigns. Also, I am of the opinion that Evil was an unplanned reign due to wanting to reset Naito's run after the shutdown NJPW went through. This is not to say that White and Evil were never going to become IWGP champions. The timing was changed for both.
@@MorbidFayde sorry to tell you, but Ishii and Suzuki will probably never win it. NJPW is selective about who gets the big belt. Guys who haven't won it yet that will at some point are Ibushi, Sanada, Ospreay, and possibly Sabre and Kenta. I personally would like Goto to get one to make up for his "always a bridesmaid" reputation. He has been a high performer in G1 and New Japan cup but can't win the big one. It always seemed like NJPW had a storyline that would get in the way of him getting the belt.
10 homies that were never supposed to be homies..... Homie. Can't really say anyone isn't supposed to be a champion. People get signed with no intention of being a champion at the time of signing, then they get over so big that it changes everything. If you think about it, only a few people were signed to be a champion from the start. Stone cold wasn't, the Rock wasn't, the Undertaker wasn't, HBK wasn't, Brett Hart wasn't, AJ Styles wasn't, etc. It wasn't until they became larger than life that the plans changed and they were to become champion. Also depending on the organization. 1 person could be signed with the intent of being a champion in 1 promotion, while being signed in another with no intention only to eventually become the champ. This list is dumb. No one knows who will blow up after they are signed. Not everyone is brought in like Hogan to where he's told he will be the champ before he even signed.... Was he signed to be a champ before wwf...... Nope. So as I stated. No one knows. Just trying to get clicks cause they're out of ideas. Well all ideas other then being dumb. Next videos: -10 wrestlers that were not signed when they were already married. -10 wrestlers who didn't take a shit in Jerry Lawler's crown. -10 wrestlers who tie their shoes differently than you do. -10 wrestlers that once took 4 back bumps in the ring. -10 wrestlers that tag teamed with someone they weren't in a stable with. -10 wrestlers that jumped hopscotch when they were 5 years old. -100,000 wrestlers that have been chokeslammed by anyone, anywhere, at any time.
To have you know, when they made that big eagle belt that was on the thumbnail, it was only intended for big wrestlers like The Undertaker and Kane. Vince felt that those were the only kind of wrestlers who should be heavyweight champion. That was why he retired that smaller bald eagle belt after Stone Cold was the last person to wear it.
5:28 but ESPN employees on LIVE tv made fun of Brock try to become an NFL star .....only years later Brock showed up to promote his UFC bout only the same ESPN employees NEVER apologizing to Brock for what they said about him back on then on LIVE tv.....☹️🤦.. and ESPN still wants to work w/ the WWE .....☹️☹️.....5:49 only to win the belt against The Big Show in a cage match where Big Show chokeslamed JBL through the ring only for JBL to crawl underneath the ring appearing on the ramp side where the referee gave JBL the win ....where in the WWE handbook does it say u can go through the ring u can crawl under & out for safety .........
Bret Hart's first World Title win against Ric Flair "wasn't supposed to happen" either. It happened because WWE was involved in the steroid scandal, and Ric Flair and Randy Savage just weren't cutting it after Hulk Hogan and all the roiders were gone.
Wait...So why did ECW go through so many steps? Why not have Dreamer take it from Awesome, Credible take it from Taz, just say screw it all and have Credible take it from Awesome to begin with? I'm sure there's some backstage stuff going on there, but seems like they took a whole lot of extra steps for Dreamer just to lose it from Credible the same night he won it
The only time I ever cared about Hogan was when he was in nWo. Even as a kid, I didn't care for his gimmick. I swear I am the only one in this boat. Lol
Surely Edge should be on here for his 2007 run? The Undertaker was world champion feuding with Batista and Mark Henry, and Mr Kennedy was MITB holder and had announced his cash-in for the next year. Then, both Taker and Kennedy got injured in the space of a week, so Edge wins MITB and becomes world champion in the same week.
Mysterio should have been World Champion longer and more often but the WWE Management is stupid.Same about Dreamer. J.B.L deserved to hold the Title but he hold IT too long.Bryan was Champion too long too.
Umm how about Jeff Hardy,Matt Hardy,Rey Mysterio jr,the great Khali, I could go on these wrestlers I don't care how popular they were or weren't they shouldn't have been world champion period making them champion made the belts lose prestige making light weight guys world champion is like giving the world title to Hornswoggle just like when they gave him the cruiserweight title smh.
10 Wrestlers Who Were Never 'Supposed' To Be World Champions is a misleading title. Bob had already had a multi-year reign as champion and was intended to be booked in such a position, Hulk and Kurt had already held the title too as you stated. A more fitting title would be 10 World Title Reigns That Were Never Supposed To Happen. I'm knit-picking but these things bother me...
Description of the video is misleading.. it gives impression that 10 wrestlers who shouldn't have been world champions but it is more of the 10 occasions on which title shouldn't have changed hands..
WrestleMania 30 was gonna be Lesnar vs Orton vs Batista but Batista got Booed and they Needed a Big Babyface for the fans to get behind. So they scrapped Lesnar for Bryan, Then Vince Punished the Fans by Ending The Streak.
I don’t understand why Dreamer was so upset. I get that his story was “the guy who could never quite get it done”, but it has to have a pay off right? Sounds like the perfect “he finally did it” pay off. Like the end of a Rocky movie lol

This list is dumb.
No one knows who will blow up after they are signed.
Not everyone is brought in like Hogan to where he's told he will be the champ before he even signed.... Was he signed to be a champ before wwf...... Nope.
So as I stated. No one knows.
Just trying to get clicks cause they're out of ideas. Well all ideas other then being dumb.
Next videos:
-10 wrestlers that were not signed when they were already married.
-10 wrestlers who didn't take a shit in Jerry Lawler's crown.
-10 wrestlers who tie their shoes differently than you do.
-10 wrestlers that once took 4 back bumps in the ring.
-10 wrestlers that tag teamed with someone they weren't in a stable with.
-10 wrestlers that jumped hopscotch when they were 5 years old.
-100,000 wrestlers that have been chokeslammed by anyone, anywhere, at any time.
I tell you what, one Dream match I would have loved to see, would be Kurt Angle vs. Bret Hitman Hart
To have you know, when they made that big eagle belt that was on the thumbnail, it was only intended for big wrestlers like The Undertaker and Kane. Vince felt that those were the only kind of wrestlers who should be heavyweight champion. That was why he retired that smaller bald eagle belt after Stone Cold was the last person to wear it.
5:28 but ESPN employees on LIVE tv made fun of Brock try to become an NFL star .....only years later Brock showed up to promote his UFC bout only the same ESPN employees NEVER apologizing to Brock for what they said about him back on then on LIVE tv.....☹️🤦.. and ESPN still wants to work w/ the WWE .....☹️☹️.....5:49 only to win the belt against The Big Show in a cage match where Big Show chokeslamed JBL through the ring only for JBL to crawl underneath the ring appearing on the ramp side where the referee gave JBL the win ....where in the WWE handbook does it say u can go through the ring u can crawl under & out for safety .........
5:11 "It's John O'clock" Now I haven't heard that line in a looooong time
dude pronounce his name right. It's MUSTAFA not Mustafer.
David Arquette....WCW Champion.
I can't name a more worthy Champion than Kurt Angle!! He's as great an entertainer as he is an Athlete
Forgot Johnny Nitro after he filled in for Benoit to become ECW champ.
I can't get over how British people say Mustafer Ali. 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 I love that
Who are the current people in WWE that you want as world champs in the future with both sexes.
For me.
Men's: Sami Zayn
Women's: Sonya Deville
Don’t think Sonya is there anymore
@@ScottyG134 dafuq you mean?
Buddy Murphy and Ruby Riott
@@aksghazi868 didn’t her and Mandy Rose wrestle a loser leaves match
@@ScottyG134 How old are you? You actually believe she's gone forever?
Bret Hart's first World Title win against Ric Flair "wasn't supposed to happen" either. It happened because WWE was involved in the steroid scandal, and Ric Flair and Randy Savage just weren't cutting it after Hulk Hogan and all the roiders were gone.
The old gold WCW belt and the WWF double eagle were good looking belts. Now they look like toys.
5:12
Why the hell is Ziggler not on this list. What the hell!
"Someone accidentally sneezes in front of a psychopath."
Lmao
12:36 tell that to career enhancement dudes.
That john o clock hit me like a Taker boot in the face
What about Christian??
what do you mean what about christian,he was always winning it of edge that was the plan,which edge has confirmed
Not gonna lie, that unexpected "IT'S JOHN O'CLOCK YA BASTARDS!" kinda startled me 😳🤣😂
Bradshaw actually played his character pretty well, and his feud with Eddie was pretty good. (Though whose feud with Eddie ever wasn't?)
db is cheap knockoff of the crippler
Please drop the cutscenes.
Vicky has said many times Eddie was not Reys friend. They were coworkers at best. You are flat out lying
Random fact my favorite wrestler of all-time is kurt angle it's true it's true ☮️
Payed it forward???? Makes no sense
Wait...So why did ECW go through so many steps? Why not have Dreamer take it from Awesome, Credible take it from Taz, just say screw it all and have Credible take it from Awesome to begin with? I'm sure there's some backstage stuff going on there, but seems like they took a whole lot of extra steps for Dreamer just to lose it from Credible the same night he won it
Smarks ruined wrestling.
5:11
I admit... Just like the Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition, I didn't expect Ross.
Before i read the comments and watch the video, i'm predicting Hulk Hogan's world title win in 1993 is gonna be on this list.
The only time I ever cared about Hogan was when he was in nWo. Even as a kid, I didn't care for his gimmick. I swear I am the only one in this boat. Lol
Hogan always stunk...
@@HypnoManNation Yup. But he was more entertaining in the nWo
Kane - 1998. But they backed themselves in a corner.
Surely Edge should be on here for his 2007 run? The Undertaker was world champion feuding with Batista and Mark Henry, and Mr Kennedy was MITB holder and had announced his cash-in for the next year. Then, both Taker and Kennedy got injured in the space of a week, so Edge wins MITB and becomes world champion in the same week.
Mysterio should have been World Champion longer and more often but the WWE Management is stupid.Same about Dreamer.
J.B.L deserved to hold the Title but he hold IT too long.Bryan was Champion too long too.
I love how he just makes stuff up about Hogan’s title reign with no proof cause he doesn’t like him. Literally the biggest star in wrestling history
Lol I noticed that
I still find it morbidly hilarious that Rey got the rub after Eddie’s death and not Chavo.
Chavo was One of the Smackdown 6, so He deserves a World Title.
Kane first blood
jbl is my champion
5:11 I wasnt ready. There's crumbs everywhere on my desk now.
You make a list with People should never become World Champion and include
Hulk Hogan.Really?
"Xenophobic." 😂
No CM Punk? No Becky Lynch?
Cultaholic wrestling your are the best
It's John O'Clock!😅😅😂😂
jbl springs to mind, thought he was a terrible champion
Im early, ring my dingaling.
Umm how about Jeff Hardy,Matt Hardy,Rey Mysterio jr,the great Khali, I could go on these wrestlers I don't care how popular they were or weren't they shouldn't have been world champion period making them champion made the belts lose prestige making light weight guys world champion is like giving the world title to Hornswoggle just like when they gave him the cruiserweight title smh.
10 Wrestlers Who Were Never 'Supposed' To Be World Champions is a misleading title. Bob had already had a multi-year reign as champion and was intended to be booked in such a position, Hulk and Kurt had already held the title too as you stated. A more fitting title would be 10 World Title Reigns That Were Never Supposed To Happen.
I'm knit-picking but these things bother me...
Description of the video is misleading.. it gives impression that 10 wrestlers who shouldn't have been world champions but it is more of the 10 occasions on which title shouldn't have changed hands..
WrestleMania 30 was gonna be Lesnar vs Orton vs Batista but Batista got Booed and they Needed a Big Babyface for the fans to get behind. So they scrapped Lesnar for Bryan, Then Vince Punished the Fans by Ending The Streak.
I don’t understand why Dreamer was so upset. I get that his story was “the guy who could never quite get it done”, but it has to have a pay off right? Sounds like the perfect “he finally did it” pay off. Like the end of a Rocky movie lol
Should change the title to 10 wrestlers who cultaholic think weren’t supposed to be world champion
Kinda fucked up that Von Erick’s reign was not only a short one, *but one that ended in the country where his brother died!!!*
