[hello (:]

go down in history as the only man to have only won the WWE Title in their career?

You look at all the GOATs and they spent their time in the mid-card (no matter how long it was) winning Tag Team, IC and US championships until they were "ready" to be the big dogs... Lesnar was in and out of the WWE with "dominance" and only ever won the WWE Title.

Now I haven't done heaps of research, but to the best of my knowledge no one in WWE history has ever spent time in the company and only won "the big one" (Goldberg excluded but it was the WHC, I'm talking about the WWE title).

Will Lesnar be the only person to have ever done this? Or will someone else in the future?

Re: Will Lesnar-

He won the King of the Ring and the Royal Rumble too.

Re: Will Lesnar-

Exactly!

Lesnar won the big three, and nothing else... no US, IC or anything...

Re: Will Lesnar-

You could probably draw comparisons to Del Rio's massive push. If he left now his record would be more impressive than Lesnar's. Yes his money in the bank got him his first title but you can bet if the king of the ring still existed in the format that the winner main evented Summerslam he would have won that instead of the mitb.

He is the one of the GOAT athletes, entertainers, and wrestlers. Just because he didn't hold other championships besides "the biggest prize in sports entertainment" during his original run with the World Wrestling Entertainment(which was only 2 years -- Night After Wrestlemania X8 Until Wrestlemania XX) does not mean he's not good.

Blasphemy.

The fact he was wwe champion after what 5 months and didn't seem out of place shows his pedigree. No one is saying this is a bad thing. Keep your pants on friend.

I'm talking STRICTLY in the WWE here, not in MMA, OVW or anywhere else...

and I didn't say he's good... I'm just asking if anyone in the near future or even on the current WWE/NXT roster, is capable of having a career in the WWE and only win the biggest title?

 

[JD=JohnDorian]

I'm not sure if anyone else will ever do that, Lesnar is a one of a kind guy that could pull it off.

 

[Joshi Judas]

I never noticed it until now. Really a wondrous career. 3 time WWE champ, headlined Wrestlemania, won KOTR and the Rumble, had matches with Angle, Benoit, RVD, Hogan, Rock, Goldberg, Taker all in 3 years. Truly unprecedented and incredible.

 

[Kratosx23]

Sid never held a midcard or tag title, so no. Not in the WWE anyway, which is the only criteria relevant. 2 WWE titles, no midcard singles, no tag.

Thanks!

This is what I was looking for...

In retrospect, Lesnar does beat him by 1 title reign, KOTR and Rumble win but still it's interesting to see Lesnar isn't the first

 

[A PG Attitude]

Headlining Wrestlemania at the end of your debut year is insane, highly doubt we'll ever see that again.

 

[KingLobos]

I remember hating Brock Lesnar when he was the next big thing.

Now I don't think he was ever that bad. Especially when compared to the goofy ass John Cena a few years later.

Brock is also one of my favorites in the company today, so things have changed.

Goldberg was also US and Tag Team champion.



Edit: I see you said WWE, sorry.

Hogan was like that until he won the tag title belts with Edge. Yokozuna was like that, too. As was Undertaker.

It doesn't really matter, as they skip lots of people into World Title programs, especially when they're giving them a "monster" push.

i.e. Sheamus and Del Rio (until Sheamus won the US title)..
