Hogan hogging the WWE title in the 80s meant a bunch of really great heels never got world titles in WWE
Piper, DiBiase, Jake, Rude...

D'Lo could've had a run, I think if the Dro thing never happened, he would've gotten close or even there. But after that, it took away all of his confidence. Talk about a guy who was committed to making himself great. Almost weighing 400lbs then down to about 250. Great move set, charisma, he had it.
The crowd was soooo into Shamrock for a time, but I don't care that he never won the strap because I always think about that time he called the Nation "monkeys".

This is like saying Bray main evented Mania. You believe it if you want to be happy, and it was a fun month when anyone thought it'd happen, but nobody on Earth takes it serious
That made me so sad. Finally gets respect, is a transitional champ losing on a HOUSE SHOW just so Jarrett can have the belt back to open dat Spike debut

WM 4 was supposed to be Ted's win but they switched to Randy. Jake never wanted it from what he has said, it was too much of a responsibility. Rude wanted it badly, especially during Warrior's run, he felt like it was bs that Warrior got it over him. Piper, well yeah he really suffered from it but he said fuck it, I'll just never do jobs lol.

No Yob
Piper even avoided jobbing to Hogan if I remember correctly.
Mark Henry won the World Heavyweight Championship you dumb mark!
But Neville has Won plenty of belts.
Not the main title. Doesn't count.

Yep, Bruce talks about it. Piper always said, this is how I feed my family. If you lose then you go elsewhere, you don't have that aura anymore. He was a mess to deal with when it came down to that stuff.
Then what do you define as the main title? Whatever was on Raw?
Either way this is moving goalposts
Nope

YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAPPPPP
Almost anyone else here would agree the gold belt in WWE is was below the WWE Title. It's just the truth.
Nah, just an explanation for now.
Also, it would be odd if the broken characters just showed up in WWE when we last saw them as the regular Hardy Boyz. I think WWE will bring about a similar character in their own way.

Was gonna be pissed if I was the first one to mention him.
He will so have fun teasing the audience with it.
He is still a hundred times better on the mic now in WWE then before and that is due to Broken.

So Triple H was not a world champion from 2002-2004?
I remember it was brought up after he died. The reasoning was Piper felt he never needed it because he was so over without it. However he was also protective with how he was booked so I think he avoided titles to avoid having to eventually lose matches. Because back then losing clean in major programs would damage your drawing power.
cagematch.net has him at 1-24 to Hogan. >_>
That one win was in sweet, sweet WCW, by the way.
(But then it wasn't even for the championship at the biggest show of the year so it didn't matter. >____>)
That's the only time WWE considered it the main belt. Because HHH wanted to live out his fantasy.

It was the only time it was ever considered the main belt, so of course he was the one to carry it during that time of it mattering.
Fuck HHH

Curt Hennig should have won the belt in TNA while he was there
Damn shame he couldn't have worn gold while coming out to that incredible entrance music
Damn shame he couldn't have worn gold while coming out to that incredible entrance music
Well during his Reign of Terror HHH he put over Cena, Bautista, and Orton. I mean say what you will but it's not like they were bad choices. All still totally relevant.
Yeah but Booker T
Hey I can't fix that, but that dude too eventually got the strap. Too much talent not to.
But Naito already won the big one.
