Championship Contender
i don't recall seeing this topic before and it is a little different than the usual question. we get a lot of "who should have been champ?" and obviously there are a lot of names that come to mind(Piper, Owen Hart, etc) but there are some guys who were never made World Champ and with good reason - something was just lacking. that doesn't mean however that the belt couldn't have been put on them short term and they would have been believable. who do you think they could have put the belt on, with the right storyline, and the audience would have believed it? also, what was that storyline(in general)? it is easy to say "given the right storyline" but not actually think of what it would be. I want some details.
for me, easily Scott Hall during the nWo days. i could have seen an angle when the nWo split in 2 where Hall sided with either Hogan or Nash, got a title match that he "didn't want" and then ended had the other guy interfere so he won and took the title to the other side(so for example, he sided with Nash, beat Nash for the title due to Hogan interfering and then jumped to Hogan's side with the title). no matter who he beat, it would have been fun to watch.
