Who WOULDN'T Be a Better Universal Champion?

[Mozenrath]

Rather than ask who you would want to beat Brock, of which, there are a lot of options, who are people who could plausibly become champion who would be worse to you than the absentee champ?

Plausible meaning, they need to be a wrestler who regularly wrestles. This isn't quite WCW levels here, so no picking Kurt.

Among other people, Jinder would be a worse option. He is just not credible enough for it.

Roman is... kind of a mix. He'd at least be here, and they'd get it over with, but he also comes across like he's working hurt. He shouldn't be on TV in his current state, whatever the issue is. He's slower, less in shape, and just seems like he's going through the motions, and I say that as someone who generally likes the guy.

I'm seriously thinking Elias would be a better champion. Only thing keeping me from committing to it would be that I'd like him to secure some notable wins for credibility, but at least, unlike Jinder, people actually react to him with more than glassy stares, and the sound of the air being sucked out of their ribcage.

Kevin owens, even with all the crap and baggage that lesnar comes with, he is still a better universal champion then owens was

I think Owens had his moments, but you're not wrong. A lot of it was kind of a low-rent Seth Rollins as champ run, though at least the Jericho stuff tended to be solid.
Nowadays, though? He would be a real chore as champion.

jericho stuff was mostly jericho, owens just piggy backed off of jericho's overness, seth did not play second fiddle while doing the authority shtick, he had goons unlike owens who came off like an overrated goon most of the time, the current owens is even worse then that owens, this one is a total bitch who lost the 'wow' factor he once had

Yeah, I'd actaully hate an Owens world title reign now.

Lashley too, I just don't want him as the main player, much and all as I'm actually finally enjoying him being back at last.

Finn too if I'm being brutally honest, just doesn't feel like anyone would take him seriously.

For me it's got to be one of the Shield guys (preferably Dean or Seth, I've actually nothing against Roman as champ but who would he feud with at this point?) or Braun.

while i don't disagree why would anyone not take finn seriously? We take aj styles seriously just fine don't we?

AJ's never been booked liked Finn though, at least since Finn has returned from injury.

Ironically the only time Finn has looked really strong in the last year and a bit is when he beat AJ at TLC last year, and then they had him lose to Kane the very next night.

I think Finn CAN be Universal Champion, but he just needs a bit more momentum than he's had the last year. Smiling and standing with his hands down by his side isn't enough. Bring back the Demon for the odd big match, win a few high profile feuds and then yeah, totally, Universal Champ material. As it stands right now (he was part of the jobber brigade that broke up Roman and Lashley's brawl last week let's not forget), not at all.

My definitive list of "worse champions than Brock Lesnar". Anyone not included on this list is implicitly someone I think would be a better champion and more enjoyable to watch on TV. Anyone
-Mojo Rawley
-Jaxson Ryker
-Yoshi-Hashi
-a cardboard standee of Scottie Pippen
-the guy in my 10th grade English class who said that 9/11 didn't happen. Not that it was an inside job, but that it never occurred
-Josh Todd, frontman of Buckcherry

Well, now I want Toru Yano to win the belt off of Brock with a low blow.
