JBL had the best heel run out of every name you mention

IMO, I think that The Undertaker made the title and Brock Lesnar, Big Show & Kurt Angle made the title interesting when they all feuded on SD! during 2002/2003

I was glad to see Eddie Guerrero, Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy win the title despite them having only 1 reign

John Cena will always be the TOP DOG of RAW

Alberto Del Rio had a dreadful title reign I put that down to he was booked weakly and his promo skills weren't the best.

Eddie Guerro I thought should've had a longer title reign.

Jeff Hardy only got a 3 week reign which was a total waste of time as it led to a terrible feud with his brother.

Undertaker well he's Undertaker.

Rey Mysterio got the title so Cena could win it again.

John Cena was responsible for the terrible spinner title and while he's had some good feuds he's had a lot of bad feuds with the title on the line and doesn't treat the belt like the most important thing in the world like others do.

Edge's reigns were too short to be significant

RVD only got what 2 weeks he stuffed himself up.

JBLs reign was one I hated with a passion almost all his victories were dirty wins (at least CM Punk got some clean wins along the way with his current reign).

CM Punk's current title reign started off average but the heel turn breathed life into it unfortunately the title reign has been hurt by not being in the main event even when there are not big time matches with Brock Lesnar or Rock involved.

Brock Lesnar well put it simply here comes the pain and he came with a vengance.

Jeff Hardy had a 6 week reign, Edge's title reigns were 3 week except for his 2nd reign which lasted almost 11 weeks and RVD had almost a month reign before he was suspended

JBLs run reminds me of Diesels 1994-95 title run... it went on too long. Whilst the JBL character was more interesting than the APA persona.... John Layfield is not a guy of genuine world title calibre. He was plucked from the midcard, and given a push.... when many of teh fans would rather Eddie have kept the belt. Being best pals with the Undertaker can obviously swing favours for you.

Hulk Hogans run was a silly nostalga run.... however he was still more over than any other wrestler in the company.

The Miz and Del Rio are too heels that the WWE hoped would catch on.... neither became the 'top heel' they hoped they would be. However I think Del Rio is a cut above Miz.
Del Rio can be entertaining... Miz is plain irritating.... I'm glad hes back at IC level because the last think Miz is is awesome.....

The Rock was just a bit part wrestler in 2002.... can you believe its been 11 years since he last held a world title?
However Rock was still a big name.... and it certainly helped Brock having him beat such a premier superstar for the title.

The history from 2002 onwards is a big blur for me. I could name the champions from 1963 all the way up to Brock Lesnar in '02, but from there on I don't care.

Totally agree. The prestige of the World title has been so diluted over recent years, ping ponging around the roster every few weeks.
Having 2 world titles in one promotion further adds to this.

**womenwrestlerfan** · 01-02-2013, 03:33 PM

That's the problem and I do agree with Stone Cold when he said that they do need to unify both World Titles

I mean hey, they unified the WWE World Tag Team Titles and the WWE Tag Team Titles, but they should've kept the WWE World Tag Team Titles b/c it had more history than the current WWE Tag Team Titles since 2002 and they did unify the WWE Women's Title and the WWE Divas Title, but the Divas Title is God Awful, but they don't have too many talented women out there which explains it

Having 2 World Heavyweight Titles is STUPID, IMO

**The Legend Killer** · 01-02-2013, 04:44 PM

Agreed womenswrestlerfan, 2 titles is a horrible idea. I liked it when SmackDown! and Raw were 2 different shows, then it made sense, but, now it just makes you scratch your head. Well, maybe we'll see an Undisputed Champion match soon.

Hey, don't forget about Edge

He, too had a spinner belt of his own

I mean, just when you thought that Edge & Lita were gonna bring back the WWE Heavyweight Title which was worn by Brock Lesnar, Big Show, Kurt Angle and the late Eddie Guerrero, he gives us the Rated R Title, which IMO, is 10 times worst than the Cena Spinner Title

**Maximo** · 01-03-2013, 07:27 AM

If I remember correctly, Edge designed his own belt, but they did have the time to make it (or they didn't see the point) so they just went with the cheap "add a terrible logo" with its design, he hated it.

**The Legend Killer** · 01-03-2013, 06:26 PM

I forgot about that belt. I don't like how the WWE Championship looks now, but, it's definitely better than that!

**womenwrestlerfan** · 01-04-2013, 07:31 AM

2 weeks before RAW moved back to USA Network on September 19, 2005 on the 2nd to last episode of RAW on The NEW TNN/SPIKE TV Era, the WWE Heavyweight Title which was held by Brock Lesnar, Big Show, Kurt Angle and the late Eddie Guerrero was last seen on television

It's too bad that guys like Edge, RVD, Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy and others didn't hold that belt when they had the chance
