What's your favorite WWE World Heavyweight Champion run so far?

[dalyricalbandit]

for me Brock he the only one that seemed unbeatable

Everyone bitched about Lesnar being a part time champion but he brought prestige to that title. I always believed the World Heavyweight Championship shouldn't be defended every ppv. It waters it down and makes it predictable. This is why people (including me) don't really watch unless Wrestlemania, Summerslam, or the Rumble coming up

brock's part time status helps add to a "big fight feel" but how do u bring prestige to a title when few if any of ur few title defenses are memorable at all after the fight actually starts. take out seth rollins and wrestlemania and brock's title reign is as memorable as a big show title reign. meanwhile someone like punk had it feelin important. i can see how every month can get old, but every other doesnt at all. what really watered it down was all the hot potato they was playin with it last decade. fans that only check the major shows are part of why the hardcore/real fans suffer.

as far as the op question, its hard to say, none of em have stood out yet. ortons was the longest i think but they booked him like ass compared to his previous title reigns, so much like ass that i started to see him as underrated

 

[T. Sanford]

Lesnar easily.

Everybody else seem beatable but Lesnar was the type of champion that look like he'll hold the title for 5 years & shss. Whats crazy is that he never got pinned to lose the title

 

[dalyricalbandit]

Brock being champ and not around helped out the midcard belts also by having other big names fighting for them

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

like who? lol dolph, wade, kofi, rusev been holding them belts while brock was champ and wwe book them like they jobbers. db and cena get the midcard straps just as soon as brock loses

I don't think Lesnar had to have a five star match every time he stepped in the ring. But how many of Mike Tyson's fights were memorable? The fact that he was easily beating his opponents made him a star. Same thing with Lesnar. If the heavyweight championship gets defended 5 or 6 times a year instead of 12, that brings a exclusivity to the championship. A "you need to be HERE to get a title shot" feel, and a bigger reaction when the title changes hands. Would the pop Seth got when he won the title been the same if Lesnar was defending every month?

And, being a part time viewer has everything to do with predictability. For instance, I'm 75% positive Seth will be champion until Summerslam. I'll check out the Raw results every Tuesday, and I'll start tuning in when things get interesting. But so far, every Raw since Mania has been garbage.

of course he aint have to have a 5 star match every time, but if he gon be part time, at least have an above avg match when u finally do come thru. he hasnt even don that in half the matches since he came back. brock and mike cant be compared, for one brock hasnt easily beat anyone except cena at summerslam, and 2 brock was already a star 12 years ago.

lets think about how many televised shows there are a year, the belt is only defended 12 times a year at most you can cut in half the amount of defenses all u want, that aint gon make the belt any more than the champion doin his thing and proper BOOKING. u got to appear for that to take place. and of course the pop seth got would have been the same. its a wrestlemania moment. and a non wwe made guy gettin the strap in front of a smart crowd. of course.

people keep sayin less appearances is good cuz it adds exclusivity, yet the belt meant a lot more in the days when kayfabe rules said u had to defend every 30 days. brock aint elevate the belt, he just came thru every once in a while doin the shit he did when he was defending the belt every month back in the day.

doing away with a few ppv's and booking better feuds could create a big match feel just as much as only seldomly appearing

he did, no thanks to the part time schedule

he went 4 months without defending the title and 3 months without even appearing on television. the belt became an afterthought. I'm not asking him to defend the title every month but extremely limited TV appearances and even a lack of vignettes didn't boost the titles prestige or lesnar's credibility as champion. lesnar's performance in his matches did. that had little to do with him being a part time performer and almost everything to do with him being a legit badass

rock and brock are two of my favorites but I was never a fan of part time champions and never will be

After taking out the whole WWE announcement crew, Brock got my vote. Lol

 

[BangEm_Bart]

Brock hardly shows but when he does, it's memorable. He brings the nostalgia of greats like Austin, Rock, Bret, Michaels, Taker and Mankind. That's a rare commodity. He breaks boundaries and doesn't restrict himself to WWE regulations.

I somehow see that in Seth in the future but Vince and HHH restrict him from being that type of badass. I see him being better than Michaels. Orton has somewhat of an edge but then gets boring like HHH.

 

[eternal soldier]

In my opinion, Brock made the title seem like something worth wearing even though he wasn't around often, but that was the beauty of his fourth reign

 

[BangEm_Bart]

Plus I get tired of chicken shit heavyweights. It gets redundant. Seth Rollins, Edge and Orton are always chicken shit champs. The only ppl that managed to pull that off and make it entertaining were Rock, Booker and Eddie Guerrero.

 

[willywanker]

Brock is a beast.

 

[lookdude]

Brock man everytime his music hit you know shit was going down
