[@luscorpio3679]

Honestly, I'm very surprised Ivan Koloff didn't get at least an honorable mention. His reign, as a transitional champion, was brief, but it is as significant if not more than Sheik's, simply because it ended Bruno Sammartino's 8 year title reign... And i'm not and oldtimer at all

[@raahim11]

I was actually thinking that as well.

[@nujeru99]

That surprised me as well. Bruno was an absolute INSTITUTION with fans at that time, and MSG sat in stunned silence when Koloff nailed Bruno with the knee drop off the top rope and pinned him. That was one of the most significant title changes ever

Yeah but it was 2011 miz he only got the championship because they needed a new heel for Cena at mania he wasn’t a bad champion but he was nowhere near 2015-2017 Heel Miz And thinking back the only reason it wasn’t punk was because Punk was Nexus and Cena just finished/Buried the Nexus so Cena and Orton swapped Rivals going into that mania

[@michaelcoxlong2726]

How was he booked terribly? He beat everyone, including Cena about 3 times, and even tho he never really beat anyone clean, neither did Jericho, Shiek or JBL. He also became involved in a high profile angle with The damn Rock, which not every WWE champ can say these days. Also also he became a double champion while still world champ. I don’t understand how he was booked terribly. Sure, at WrestleMania he was the third wheel and was just around to set up the Rock-Cena feud, but if he includes Shiek and JBL, who are arguably in the same boat as Miz as they were also heel transitional champions, I feel he atleast deserves an honourable mention.

Jeff had a good reign as champion he held for a month I know but it was really cool see him held the belt for the first and only time in his career and the story of him getting to that moment was great although a little bumpy at times but I would say it was nice seeing one of the Hardy's as a WWE Champion one time in there careers

[@MauFerrer2000]

Exactly. I wish he had a longer reing, he was so popular back then that I think he could've been on this list instead of Kofi or someone else

[@vcom741]

Wait today is Wednesday (on my end) Why's the episode early? Did the new schedule for weekly shows effect regular vids as well :O

[@TheFEARSlayer01]

Yeah in the raw review he said that Regular videos/Classic PPV reviews are being moved to Wednesdays to accommodate the new version of who war it better between AEW and NXT which will be on Thursdays due to both airing on Wednesdays

For those thinking “but brian Chris is a 6 time world champ durt jsgsjsoysgw” hes a 1 time wwe champ and 5 time world heavyweight champ including his 2 reigns as wcw champ in wwf

No Andre the giant? Not even an honorable mention

[@secondchances1232]

It held the title for all of two minutes and immediately gave it away. Also he only won the title due to cheating

[@lmaouh1698]

@@secondchances1232 Yes, but the circumstances around that title win were historic. If Shiek got to be on the list for setting up the next world champion, Then I think Andre should be there for Not only ending the 4 year reign of Hogan, the last reign to even come close to that length in WWE world title history, But setting up the Tournament at WM IV which ultimately led to the Mega Powers forming and imploding. And it all got the spring off that 2 minute reign. And don't forget, it crowned a very deserving legend as a World champion no matter how short or past due it was.

[@secondchances1232]

@@lmaouh1698 I think you're missing a key difference. Iron Sheik won cleanly. Andre won by screwjob finish and immediately tried to give the belt away. Sheik won and actually defended the belt

[@lmaouh1698]

@@secondchances1232 How relevant is that when it comes to the inpact I mentioned previously tho? Lol Besides, the controversial nature surrounding the whole scenario helped paved the way to the Tournament in the first place. Which again, gave us the whole Mega Powers angle..

For my 1 time wwe champs my list would go 8 Bret Hart 7 Jeff hardy 6 randy savage 5 triple h 4 Shawn micheals 3 edge 2 John cena And my number 1 on the list of 1 time champs is 1 hulk hogan

[@carlosmontesinos1544]

Yes, yes they did. For the entire show. Maffew started a Botchamania video making fun of it.

Been watching WWE since before Kane was Kane. Genuinely shocked that he was only Champ once & for such a short time. He was a main eventer for so damn long & although he has won other gold I am still stunned ! 😳

[@Njbear7453]

Kane will forever be one of the greatest of all time and it doesn’t matter how many titles he’s held. Personally I think Kane is one of the best IC and tag team champions of all time. He’s done it all

[@justindavis6453]

Where’s the Miz? 😂😂

[@mattthomas1442]

If you're going to knock Diesel for attendence numbers than Eddie shouldn't be on this list, he is literally the lowest drawing champion in the history of the company, despite him getting the belt a month before Mania (when attendence is usually at it's peak) he barely averaged over 2500 fans an appearance.

[@k.jamescarters9557]

My list was ruined In first minute when you announced inoki and million dollar man didn’t count 😂

I love how HHH is shown on Vengeance, but hasn't returned from injury yet lol

It's a shame that poor Kofi got the Bob Backland treatment!
