I've seen a few "best to never win a world title" threads, but I was wondering. Who was/is the best wrestler that never won any title??

 

[jaw2929]

Hm, that's a hard one. ANY title? Gonna haveta think about that....

 

[just1988]

I did a video with my top 10 guys who never won the main title but as far as wrestlers who never won any titles...I really can't think of anyone apart from Doink the Clown.

 

[Jupiter Jack Daniels]

OP, do you mean never won a title in WWE or of all 3 big promotions?

 

[Cynic]

Well, it depends on how technical you want to get, since any wrestler of note pretty much ever has held at least one title somewhere. If we're just talking major promotions, Jake Roberts is the first that jumps to my mind. He never held a championship in WWF or WCW. The most significant title he ever held was the Smoky Mountain Championship.

 

[Zankman Jack]

I'm pretty sure, as far as I know, that such men don't really exist, no?

Even low level indy wrestlers win titles.
If they don't win titles on such low levels (I'm not even talking about good indy promotions), then I guess that they don't really deserve them.

I mean, come on, Freight Train has a title, haha.

As for the "Never won a world title" thing, I'm guessing the most common answer is William Regal.

I was thinking all 3.

It's pretty tough to even come up with someone who deserves to be remembered though

Stevie Richards?

Don't recall him holding a belt in ECW, WCW or WWE.

The answers for that seem to be mainly Regal, Razor Ramon and Roddy Piper, which are all good answers. This one doesn't seem to have a good answer though, at least not that I can think of.

Brooklyn Brawler

Stevie Richards?

Don't recall him holding a belt in ECW, WCW or WWE.

Thought of him already, was sure he'd be a good one but it turns out he was a 2-time ECW world tag champion with Raven.

 

[Mike Zybyszko]

Aside from some already mentioned I'd also include Owen Hart and Curt Hennig. Both should have had a short run as WWF World Champion. I would rather Hennig beat Hogan at WM6 than Warrior. And Owen could have had a run during Bret's time, then dropped it back to Bret.

Note - I am only considering world titles, and not tag or mid card titles. Everyone pretty much gets a run somewhere as either tag or mid card champ.

Edit - I have to take Hennig out. I just realized that he did win the AWA world title so he doesn't qualify.

 

[SporadicAttack]

World Title? Roddy Piper.

Any Title? I have no idea.

Matt Osborne as the original Doink The Clown comes to mind. While Osborne himself has held titles. I don't recall Doink holding any titles.

 

[Jupiter Jack Daniels]

Yeah, I completely forgot about that.


Damn OP, you got a good question right here.

 

[Stone Cold Steve Urkel]

Zach Gowen? Does he count? I don't even remember him competing for a title.

 

[glasgowglasgow]

If it was just WWE i was thinking Bam Bam, he never won any titles with the E and headlined a wrestlemania. But including all three promotions? Honestly cant think of an answer for that

Ultimo Dragon/Muhammad Hassan/Shannon Moore.

Ultimo Dragon/Muhammad Hassan/Shannon Moore.

Ultimo dragon won the Cruiserweight title and Shannon Moore won the Hardcore championship, Hassan is a good one though, didn't think of him.

Edit - Shannon moore was HC champion as a part of 3 count.

Ultimo Dragon/Muhammad Hassan/Shannon Moore.

As far as the Hassan persona goes, he hasn't held any gold. But I believe under his real name he held the OVW Championship. If that counts (just like my Doink The Clown reference).
