@SilverFang. No he wasn’t. The plan in October 2005 for going into 2006 was Batista vs Orton for WHC at Mania 22 Eddie vs Shawn Michaels at Mania 22 Cena vs Triple H for WWE Title at Mania 22 When Eddie died it was changed to Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart but Bret didn’t want to wrestle, so it was changed again to Shawn vs Vince. When Batista got injured it was changed as Angle vs Taker for WHC at Mania 22, and then changed again to Rey vs Angle vs Orton for WHC at Mania 22, with Taker vs Mark Henry at Mania 22.

Back in the late 90's, Kane was the epitome of a wrestler who doesn't need a belt to draw. Kane and Undertaker were both such great characters that they never needed a belt to make fans care about their matches. It's why, despite Taker being an all-time great, he hardly ever won the World Championship. Andre the Giant was the original "never needed a belt to draw".

If it were 10 years earlier, he would have. But at that particular time everything was centered around Steve Austin. Giving Kane the belt for a night was just a tool to get Austin over even more. But Kane still benefited from it regardless. As an 8 year old I liked Austin just as much as the next person, but Kane was the only wrestler I passionately cared about. I didn't care if he had the belt or not.

Now if I was going to put the belt on kane again, it be survivor series 1999, Kane was clashing with dx, what better way to see Kane really get under dx skin is having Kane beat HHH and rock to the wwf championship

10. You could tell WWE was never really invested in Big E as a top guy. And it sucks that they set him up to fail as champion. 9. Sgt. Slaughter in the early/mid-80’s would have been a good choice as a world champion. But by the time of WM 7, he was past his physical prime. 8. Dean was the most over member of The Shield for a time. And WWE never really capitalized on that fully. AEW has used him FAR better. 7. Should have beaten Orton, simple as that. 6. Kane only holding the WWF Title for one day was so disappointing back in the day. He was such a monster back then. 5. Stan Stasiak worked fine as a transitional champion. It was rare for heels to hold the title for long in WWF back then. 4. This guy beat freaking Shinsuke Nakamura in a world title feud. That says it all. 3. At least it was short. 2. This barely counts honestly. 1. Thai is one of the most d*** moves supposed “babyface” John Cena ever did.

He was actually a BAD WWE Champion in that he screwed up so spectacularly they couldn't even wait until the next major show to get the belt off of him. My other replacement would be Jeff Hardy. I find it hilarious that Hardy's title reign was bookend by two Edge title reigns, I assume that's because Triple H didn't want to be associated with winning or losing the title from him. Hardy literally did nothing in his entire 40 days as champion. At least Ambrose and E had some successful title defenses.

Wish that Rey had a longer title reign instead having him lost to cena the same night he won it, it would've been better if cena vs punk at summerslam wasn't for the title or they should've have a triple threat with mysterio for the title

Rey had a longer title reign. The long one he had after Eddie died. Talk about revisionist history.

I don't consider solid transitional champions like Sgt Slaughter and Iron Sheik as "bad champions", especially in an era where there were only 4 PPVs (and in Sheik's case none) and World champions rarely fought on TV.. Slaughter also held the title longer than the Sheik.

But Yoko won it back and then held the title for 10 months in a pretty solid run. He actually became the first heel in WrestleMania history to win the title in the main event AND also the first heel to retain the title at Mania (against Lex Luger at WM10)

It bears repeating, you do have to feel a little bit bad for Jinder. If he just spent his whole career as a reliable midcard utility guy, we'd probably all respect and appreciate him a whole lot more than we do. But because of one poorly thought-out decision that was completely out of his hands, now he'll always be remembered first and foremost as one of the worst WWE Champions ever.
