Triple H is the most undeserving world champion of all time. The guy butt kissed his way to the top and won most of his world titles by hooking up with Stephanie who has held, for the better part of 10 years, the power to veto any booking that doesn't make Trips look like 1980s Hogan. Had he broken up with her after a year or two, Vince would crush his career and he'd be re-written out of the history books similar to Chris Benoit. Triple H basically had to marry Stephanie. He stays with Steph for life and he becomes as big as Hulk Hogan. He leaves her like he did Chyna and he's blacklisted. Sure, I enjoyed the heel Triple H when he was second in command to Shawn Michaels or when he had Stephanie as his mouth piece. But the Triple H that came back to WWE 10 years ago at the Royal Rumble is completely undeserving. The guy should never have amounted to anything more than Ted Dibiase or Jake Roberts. A solid main event heel who could only come close to winning a title.
Jeff Jarrett is really undeserving too but he was never a WWE world champ. He's like the Erik Watts of the past 10 years. Luckily, Erik Watts only lasted for half a year. Jarrett worked for his dad and won the TNA title who knows how many times. He also lucked out by getting Vince Russo behind him. Had Jarrett never left WWE on bad terms, Russo wouldn't have been so keen on him. Jarrett had no business being WCW champion. He has always been like Triple H to me. At the best, he's been an average entertainer. At the worst, he's just awful. Jarrett always worked well as a mid carder or IC champ. He was a good heel, great at times. But, how can you put a title on the guy and sell a product? It'd be like putting the title on Dibiase or Roberts. It just wouldn't work. Vince McMahon realized that. Eric Bischoff realized it. But the idiots who took over after Bischoff didn't get it.
The Miz is perhaps the worst world champion in the history of wrestling. Dolph Ziggler may not have been ready either but he has great potential and looks like the kind of wrestler that would have been around 10 years ago. The Miz is just an asswipe. I'm
sorry but the guy has 'jobber for life' written all over his face. He doesn't have a menacing look. He doesn't have the 'it' factor. Sure he's annoying on the mic and pisses the crowd off. But any shitty wrestler with average mic skills can do that (See Brooklyn Brawler). The guy looks like he should be doing TV shows like Jersey Shore or commercials selling shamwows.
I'm a big Kevin Nash fan but I don't think he was deserving of the world title. He was a bit like Goldberg early in his career so I get what WWE was trying to do. Nash was a monster heel and he went undefeated for a year. But, the guy was extremely limited. His world title match at Wrestlemania 11 sucked because he was in it. It still might have been one of his best matches but it was one of the worst world title main events in Wrestlemania history. Nash was even less deserving in WCW. No one wanted to see him as champ there. WCW had tons of old stars who were more deserving. DDP was more deserving. Scott Hall has to be one of the most deserving ever and he never held the world title ever. Benoit, Jericho, Gurerrero, Savage, Luger, Hitman, Goldberg, anyone deserved that title more than Nash. Smarks always complain about Hogan and how long he held the title in WCW but what they seem to forget or overlook is that Hogan was money. Fans wanted to see Hogan involved. The last two weeks I read Mark Madden columns rewriting history and it bothers me. I'll give Madden credit, lately he's toned down some of the idiotic stuff he'd say just to please the mostly idiotic IWC. But when he dumps on Hogan the entertainer (rather than Hogan the piece of shit human being) its out of his personal hatred for him and his obsession with Ric Flair. Tearing down Hogan is how he shows Flair his loyalty and gets job opportunities shoe shining Ric Flair's boots or writing his biographies. Madden buttkisses Flair the same way Trips buttkissed McMahon, the same way Bischoff butkissed Hogan, the same way Jarrett buttkisses Dixie or Russo. I do not like Hogan the person but Hogan the entertainer from 1984-1999 was amazing. Hogan made the NWO. Fans tuned into WCW to check out what was going on. But when Hogan jumped aboard ratings were huge. When Hogan left for weeks, ratings went down. When Hogan would be announced for a show in two weeks, that show's ratings would be much higher. When Hogan left for a kayfabe run at the White House and Nash made a run for the title, WCW's ratings went downt he toilet. When Hogan came back ratings spiked really high for a month and stayed above 4 until Hogan left in Spring 99 with an injury. When Hogan left and Nash became head booker and champ again, the ratings fell to the dismal level they'd stay at till WCW folded. All the blame goes on Hogan for WCW's demise but really Hogan deserves most of the credit for WCW almost putting WWE out of business. Everyone tuned in to see if someone would finally stick it to Hogan. When it finally happened and it was Savage, WCW ratings reached an all-time high. They were 5s or above that whole period in winter 98. But then when Nash became the focus and not Savage in the Hogan feud, ratings dipped. Nash being in the main event and going after the world title just didn't make much sense. He was much better being Hall's tag partner. Nash was always good in a secondary role as the monster giant no one could beat. But in a main event world title role, no, he wasn't money. And that's some truth you'll never hear out of Madden because he's on good terms with Nash. Madden would be better off not saying any of this because he wouldn't want to piss off all his friends and connections. At least his role model Flair had the guts to come out a few years ago and call it like it was and say Nash was very limited and undeserving. Madden only has enough guts to dump on someone easy that gets dumped on a lot like a Hogan or a DDP.
