The Worst Champions in WWE History

There is always discussion about who arguably is the best champion in History. Have you ever wondered who could possibly be the worst of the WWE champions ever?

 

I’m talking about all of the titles: the WWE title, World title, Intercontinental title, United States title, ECW title, World tag, and WWE tag titles.

 

It’s hard to imagine these coveted titles being given to the wrong person but it's happened, and some of these champions just make you want to cry a little.

 

As I go over the list of competitors who have held the WWE tag team championships, I see many great names Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit, Los Guerreros, and RVD & Rey Mysterio. But looking at the list, it was simple who was the worst: Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree.

 

Do you remember Kenzo Suzuki? I barely do, but I do remember that he was one of the worst gimmicks in the WWE. Rene Dupree was a good tag champ as part of La Resistance but with Kenzo Suzuki they were probably the worst of the Smackdown tag teams.

    i didn't have a problem with JBL's run with the strap. The others you listed I agree with wholeheartedly.

    You've got some great picks here. I especially agree with Suzuki and Dupree and Mr. McMahon (ECW).

    I think you have also have to go with Vince as the worst WWE champion and definitely David Flair as the worst US champion.

    As bad as David Arquette was as WCW champion, it's astonishing that Vince Russo was almost just as bad.

    Great work, David.

    What about Great Khali? I'd buy all of those horrible picks over Khali. He's 7'25" 5 billion lbs. and 0 ounces of charisma. WWE could have substituted a great red wood and got the same results.

    I'm sure Khali feels snubbed from your list as the 'worst champ' is the only title he could legitimately win.

    The worst champions? Because I hate his guts so much,John Cena. He has the wrestling skills of a retarded monkey that just smoked crack and I hope he gets injured again and it ends his career, but I will say this I respect his passion for the business.

    I agree with some of these, I hate Santino Marella as IC Champ with a passion although he is fun to hear talk, and do you remeber David Arquette as WCW World Champion way back when? That was a bad champion it only lasted a day I think

      Santino is gold. He is one of the most charasmatic and funny characters in the WWE right now. Glamarella is the best thing going today.

      Santino could probably go in the ring if WWE actually booked him like a legit threat, but his mic skills are beyond valuable. I do agree about the JBL title reign. I don't think he's a bad worker or bad on the mic. It's just boom let's turn Bradshaw into JBL and give him the title. Had WWE built him up for a few month back then, he may have had a lot more credibility when he won the title.

    mike adamle is the worst gm ever. the ic champion should be the number 1 contender but strangely santino never defends the title, or ever wins a match. the US champ shelton benjamin gets pinned every week but still keeps his title, what do they have in common nobody wants their titles. a champion is an organizations best so watching jericho constantly get 3 on 2 matches or 1 on 2 matches just shows that everybody knows he is second rate and not headliner material.

      Now I like Santino sort of but he has won a few imes, I mean you alluded to it, he beat Benjamin juat about 2 weeks ago, he wins alot of his matches, where as Shelton loses his so I'd have to disagree with that, but I'm with you on Adamle though, however this is about worst Champions, and I don't think he ever was in football or anywhere

    I also disagree with the JBL Pick. I think what made JBL a good champion is that you wanted him to lose SO bad it hurt. Every good face was made because they beat a heel that you were hoping would lose the title. JBL did exactly what a heel champion needed to do. He cheated to win, he manipulated authority, he did it all.

    I agree with what you said on all the other titles though. This was a good article, and it is after all your opinion. Just wanted to say my piece on Bradshaw.
