Best Champions

[Y 2 Jake]

In you're opinion who are the best wrestlers to hold these titles and why:-

WWE Championship:-Kurt Angle= Always put on great matches and does killer promos.

World Heavyweight Championship:-Triple H= The only truly bad year he's had since joining WWE was in 2003 when he was carrying to much weight and he could'nt carry Steiner and Nash to decent matches.

United States Championship:-Goldberg=He held it when he was the biggest thing in wrestling and made the title mean more.

Intercontinental Championship:-Honky Tonk Man=Never put on good matches but he held it for so long it gained prestige.

WWE Tag Team Championship:-Chris Benoit & Kurt Angle=When the title was introduced in 2002 Angle & Benoit made the Smackdown mid card the place to go for real wrestling.

World Tag Team Championship:-Hart Foundation=One of the best tag teams of all time.

Womens Championship:-Trish Stratus=The most decorated womens champion in WWE history.

Cruiserweight Championship:-Rey Mysterio=Never had bad matches in his early WCW career when he was in feuds with Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero and Chris Jericho.

Hardcore Championship:-Rob Van Dam=In 2001 the title actually ment something when RVD held it.

European Championship:-British Bulldog=The most pointless title in WWE history, the only time it meant something was at One Night Only in 1997 when the Bulldog lost to HBK.

How far back are you talking? And what criteria are you using? Yes, Kurt Angle has arguably the most to bring to the table, as far as in-ring ability is concerned, but the WWF rode Hulkamania to prominence in the 80's, so Hulk Hogan wins there; and many would argue that Bob Backlund perhaps was the most skilled technical wrestler ever. Trish Stratus really is fairly talentless; I liked Moolah in her prime, or perhaps Gail Kim. And Honky Tonk may have the record for longest reign, but Ricky Steamboat was far more talented, and Don Muraco was (IMO) by far the most brutal IC champ ever.

If you're talking the last few years though, I can agree with most of your choices...

WWE Championship- Bret Hart=Could make Gillberg look good in a match and great technical wrestler.

World Heavyweight Championship- Sting=Was to WCW what Hogan was to WWF. He could brawl,wrestle, high fly etc..

United States Championship-Lex Luger=the greatest U.S. Champion of all time had legendary and brutal feuds with Rhodes, Windham and Koloff over this title.

Intercontinental Championship-Razor Ramon=Entertaining champion and had a sweet fan base.

WWE Tag Team Championship-Los Guerreros=Technical and high flying wonders.

World TagTeam Championship- New Age Outlaws=No team in recent memory had it all like those two entertainment wise..

Women's Championship-Chyna=Seemed unbeatable as champ.

Cruiserweight Championship-Dean Malenko= See Bret Hart..

Hardcore Championship-Undertaker=Made the title look like the World Championship and I was actually lookin g forward to see the belt be defended and was a brutal champ..

European Championship-Owen Hart=Had good feuds against HHH over the title..

[Skillz]

WWE Championship:-Bret Hart. Always wore the title with more prestige, honour and pride than anyone else. Always had great title matches, (against Owen, Diesel, Bulldog, HBK and Taker to name a few). Other great WWE champions are Hogan, Savage, HBK, Austin, Rock, HHH and Angle.

World Heavyweight Championship:-Since the title came back in 2002, i would have to say Chris Benoit. But in it's entire history, probably Ric Flair.

United States Championship:-Ric Flair or Sting.

Intercontinental Championship:-Bret Hart. He had in my opinion 2 out of the 4 best IC matches of all time, (against Perfect and Bulldog, the other 2 would be Savage/Steamboat and HBK/Razor).

WWE Tag Team Championship:-Angle and Benoit.

World Tag Team Championship:-Hart Foundation=One of the best tag teams of all time.

Womens Championship:-Trish Stratus.

Cruiserweight Championship:-Rey Mysterio.

Hardcore Championship:-Rob Van Dam.

European Championship:-HBK.

WWF/WWE World Title- Bret Hart...always a fighting champion, fought a wide variety of opponents...had the whole vibe of you would think he was gonna lose the belt, and somehow he always found a way to win...transitioned WWF from Hogan era to Attitude era...

NWA/WCW/World title- Ric Flair...was champion or in the hunt for a solid 15 years...like, Hart took on a variety of opponents, and always went the distance to entertain and make it look real...
honorable mention to VADER...he was a beast and was unstoppable and scary during his reigns

WWF Intercontinental- Randy Savage...held the title for over a year and had memorable fueds with George Steele and Rick Steamboat over the title...with Miss Elizabeth by his side, this period as IC champ moved him towards winning the WWF World title @ WM4

U.S. title- Nikita Koloff...another monster in his day...like both Road Warriors rolled in one, but Russian...was gonna named it the USSR title

ECW title- Taz....made title fights must see. brutal fights...his matches with Sabu and Tajiri were awesome
