I'm going to start a new idea, kinda based on Possum's should have been champion polls. The difference is these will be guys who were world champions and you have to decide if they worthy of having the title or not. If not you could give reasons why not and what you have done differently. If yes you can say why they did deserve it or change any other things about their title reign(s). This isn't about if they should have had as long of reign and/or as many reigns, just if they deserved the title period. I'm going to leave out guys like hogan, flair, austin, and even cena for now since mostly everyone would agree that they deserved the title at least once. next one is... JBL ***results so far *Yes superstar billy graham- 19-0 eddie guerrero- 26-1 kane- 25-1 iron sheik- 21-1 andre the giant- 19-1 chris jericho- 17-1 buddy rogers- 15-1 ultimate warrior- 21-3 mick foley- 20-3 yokozuna- 16-7 sid- 15-8 antonio inoki- 8-7 *No vince mcmahon- 16-3 stan stasiak- 9-4 sgt. slaughter- 13-11 *undecided ivan koloff- 4-4

I'd say he did as JBL he more than proved that he could handle the title when he had it.

Yes he did. Putting the title on him could have gone very wrong, but he took the ball and completely ran with it. In a short timespan he went from eternal tag team midcarder to a legit main eventer. I think his title run was one of the best ever.

This is an interesting one..
I remember like many i was absolutely furious when he won it off Eddie Guerrero..
At the very beginning i would have said no.
But to his credit he actually had a pretty good reign,
I argue that it shouldnt really have lasted aslong as it did but whatever,
I suppose he was just in the right place at the right time as WWE seemed to be lacking Main eventers.

Not when he first won it. He got a new push out of the blue after several years as a very different character. This character was a tag champ and low-mid carder. The new character was a main event level wrestler from the start. However, Bradshaw excelled in his new heel persona and overtime he won over many people who now accept him as championship-level wrestler.

Yeah. His reign lasted too long for my tastes but, as far as I know, and to his credit, we remember him mostly as champion and not so much as a controversial/political champ.

he did not deserve it at the time, though he proved doubters wrong by having a solid reign

I thought he was a joke at first, but he earned his keep.
