Greatest WWE Champion Day 1

[Big Bad Brad]

Since richmark decided to find out who is the greatest Tag Team Champions in WWE I thought a poll to find out who the greatest WWE Champion of all time according to the F.A.N. Forum.

Everyday you choose between 2 champions. For the first one I thought we would start with the First WWE (then WWWF) Champion Buddy Rogers and the current WWE Champion, CM Punk.

Buddy Rogers



He had 1 reign as Champion which lasted from April 29, 1963 to May 17, 1963.

Total # of days as Champion: 18

Buddy Rogers won the WWWF Championship in a tournament in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil that may or may not of actually happen. Rogers is also one of two WWE Champions who has held both the WWE & NWA World Title.

CM Punk



He is currently on his second reign as WWE Champion.

1st reign was from July 17, 2011 to August 14, 2011.
2nd reign was from November 20, 2011 to today.

Total # of days as Champion (so far): 211

CM Punk won his first WWE Championship from John Cena at the Money in the Bank Pay Per View.
His second reign happened by beating Alberto Del Rio at Survivor Series 2011.

If a new Champion emerges before Round 1 is finished they will be added to the Tournament.

Punk

Rogers reign was too short.

(I appease Loki after my betrayal in the Harry Potter Tourney by voting for Punk)
So, yeah. Punk.

Punk, even though he never won a tournament in Rio de Janeiro.

[Knailsic From Now On]

The hipster in me says Rogers, but in to be serious Punk since he has done more than Rogers

[Malibu Albino]

Strictly talking WWE Champion, it's got to be Punk, Roger didn't do anything with the belt other than lose it to Sammartino.

One of these years I want WWE to actually do a title tourny in Rio just for the hell of it.

Buddy Rogers, imho

[Wolf Hurricane]

The best wrestler in the world: Buddy Rogers.

This poll will end in a few minutes when it does I'll have the next poll up.

I plan on going first Champ VS current champ, 2nd champ VS previous champ, 3rd champ VS champion before previous champion.

The final match will be a Triple Threat do to there only being 43 Champions and this is only the WWE title not including the World Heavyweight Championship.

I'm also not including any WWE Champions that is unrecognized by the WWE, I think Antonio Inoki is the only WWE Champion that is not recognized by WWE. Inoki won the title from Backlund in Japan then Backlund won it back a week later but WWE never acknowledged Inoki as WWE Champion.
