Eyes On WWE: 6 Greatest Wrestlers To Never Win The WWE Title

By @TrueGodImmortal

Today, we wanted to take a look at the greatest wrestlers to set foot in a WWE ring, but they just couldn't walk away with a title run. All of these men are legends, but for some reason, the WWE Title seemed to escape them through the years. Let's take a look at six of the best who never managed to win a World championship in the WWF/WWE.

6. Razor Ramon 

-The Bad Guy, Razor Ramon was truly deprived of a chance to be the man in the WWE. He was one of the most over wrestlers on the roster through his tenure and when he should have been winning world titles, he was feuding with Goldust, Diesel, 1-2-3 Kid, and holding the Intercontinental Title. He's a great IC Champ, but he definitely deserved a title run.

5. Owen Hart 

-It's a shame that the overall most talented Hart brother (I said it) didn't get a title run, but for some reason, Owen wasn't as marketable as Bret. Owen was a better heel, a better talker, and nearly equal to his brother in the ring, but aside from a small feud against Bret in 1994, Owen never got the shot to carry the World Title. He deserved at least one run.

4. Ted Dibiase 

-The Million Dollar Man is one of the most surprising names to never win a championship. He was close to winning it at Wrestlemania 4 before Randy Savage defeated him in the Finals for the vacant title, but the biggest title feud was missed out on in 1990 as Dibiase vs Hogan could have drawn big money and put Dibiase over the top as a legend. I always felt that Dibiase winning the title from Warrior and being champion heading into Wrestlemania 7 would have been a much better feud and match than what both men had. It's a shame Dibiase never got one title run.

3. William Regal 

-Though he wasn't the big money draw that people would have expected him to be, the truth be told, Regal deserved a short term title reign to give him a shot at carrying the torch. He was a great character, a great wrestler, and his facial expressions helped make his promos even better. Regal is a legend in the business and in my opinion, a WWE Title or World Heavyweight Title run during his Smackdown days would have been great.

2. Jake "The Snake" Roberts 

-The most sinister star in the WWF at one point, Jake Roberts is a legend and once again, during the Hogan era, he would have been a prime time heel feud for the title. His demons might be a big reason why he never won the title, but the fact remains, the WWF should have pulled the trigger once on a Jake title run. Jake vs Hogan or Jake vs Savage for the title would have been money, and I would have loved to see the culmination of a Jake Roberts vs Ultimate Warrior feud for the WWF Title.

1. Mr. Perfect 

-The best to never win the WWE Title. Period. These days, WWE decidedly gives title reigns to just about anyone (Jinder Mahal is a WWE Champion.... but not these guys....), but Mr. Perfect was robbed of a title run. 1990 was the year. He was a prime heel and easily one of the best wrestlers then. It was the Ultimate Warrior and Hogan show then, but Perfect would have been the smartest choice for champion without question. It's a shame he didn't get a run in WCW either, and if he would have stayed healthy during his return to WWE, a week long or month long reign could have been possible in 2002. Unfortunately, his story didn't end that way. It's a shame that we never saw a Perfect title reign, because the business deserved one.

Eyes On WWE: The 5 Worst Summerslam PPVs

By @TrueGodImmortal

In reality, the biggest show of the summer has been more lackluster over the years than exciting. The truth is, while WWE builds the show up very well, it sometimes misses the mark. In the history of the event, we've seen some great contests and of course we've seen some terrible matches. Sometimes, we get a great card and other times, we get a terrible card. Today, I wanted to look at the latter and the times that we get the terrible shows. Let's take a look at the worst Summerslam events.

5. Summerslam 2006

-I wasn't as invested in wrestling during this period due to real life, but I saw this show live and was disappointed. Extremely disappointed. I thought about putting shows from the 80s on this list or even the 1994 edition, but at least that card had a classic and solid IC Title Match with a decent tag team match. Aside from a decent John Cena vs Edge match with a solid build, the show suffers from a pointless DX vs The McMahons match, a very mediocre Batista vs Booker T match, and a confusing Big Show vs Sabu ECW Title Match. Even the Hulk Hogan vs Randy Orton match was well below any high expectations. Just not a fun PPV to sit through.

4. Summerslam 2007

-It still surprises me that I ordered this PPV. It bothers me actually. I was excited. I figured CM Punk was set to become the ECW Champion. Triple H would make a triumphant return. Cena vs Orton seemed like a big match. Rey Mysterio would be coming back as well. I figured, there's no way WWE could mess this up, right? I was very wrong. The Triple H return was awkward and lackluster, and the match itself was very disappointing. The Rey Mysterio return did nothing for me and the match itself against Chavo Guerrero just didn't go well. The only highlight on the show would be the Cena vs Orton match, but even that was slightly disappointing. Without any real highlights minus a decent triple threat and a mostly solid main event, this card falls way below the standards of the best.

3. Summerslam 1993

-This would be no. 1 if it wasn't for the fact that the top 2 choices had the opportunity to he better and literally just out right refused to be. It was interesting to say the least with this PPV, as watching Lex Luger vs Yokozuna as the main event told me that the WWF wasn't in the best place at that time. Losing Hulk Hogan, and trying to find his replacement couldn't have been easy and the same could be said for the lack of in ring work from Randy Savage, another legend. There are slight bright spots on this show with Shawn Michaels vs Mr. Perfect and Razor Ramon vs Ted Dibiase in his final WWF PPV match, but the rest of the card, including The Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez was absolutely dreadful to watch. Even worse? After Lex Luger wins the match by DQ but doesn't win the title, he has the dumbest celebration of all time as if he became champion. A hilarious end to a terrible event. 

2. Summerslam 2010

-This show had potential. WWE was working toward a new era it seemed with the Nexus, but they were still in the Cena era. It was really odd to be honest. It seemed like every time the WWE attempted to move forward, Cena would bring them back. In addition to that, the card on paper was lackluster. CM Punk and the Straight Edge Society against the Big Show, a short and pointless Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston match, Melina vs Alicia Fox, an awful Kane vs Rey Mysterio match with a laughable Undertaker appearance, with the only decent match coming from Randy Orton and Sheamus as Orton was settling in as a fan favorite. The main event is really too long and it was anti climatic as Daniel Bryan returning after two months of being "fired" didn't really have a huge impact. Plus, Cena killing the Nexus momentum just killed the whole group. It was over after that. For that, this show definitely has to make the list.

1. Summerslam 1995

-The truth of the matter? There was no way in hell this PPV could be great. There was a great IC Title Match between Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon, which should have closed the show. For some reason, Vince was an idiot and decided to close the show out with the absolute worst main event ever in Summerslam history: Diesel vs Mabel. Add to that the fact that they wasted other top wrestlers on lackluster matches (Bret Hart and The Undertaker), and in reality, this is the most disappointing Summerslam because of what it could have been. And, once again, the show was closed out by Diesel vs Mabel. Diesel vs Mabel. Diesel vs FUCKING MABEL. Enough said.
