      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

      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 Před 5 lety +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.

      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.

    These lists are such a good idea for cultaholic because they’re relatively easy to make and everyone wants to watch them

    Not being in on the Randall Keith bit but seeing it all the time makes it hilarious to me

    The World Heavyweight Championship was THE best title design ever in sports, including MMA, boxing titles. So gorgeous.

      I second that notion. It did and still does look badass, it has that powerful, epic look and aura too it. It looks imposing too. As such a belt should, it doesn't look like a cheap toy but a legitimate chunky thing.

      Something about the wwf championship in the late 90s was my favorite

    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.
