Why has WWE not dubbed anyone the “10th Wonder of the World”

[Instant Classic]

It’s been 20 years just about since we’ve had a wonder of the world in WWE. Granted nowadays wrestlers aren’t that bigger than life anymore, but it’s be a nice way to build somebody.

[CMWaters]

Because Paul Bearer was labeled the 10th, 11th and 12th wonder on an episode of Raw by Commissioner Shawn Michaels.

[Main Eventer]

John Cena called Zack Ryder the 10th wonder one time.

[romanstylesiii]

It would likely go to someone who was really generic and just thought creating a cool nickname was the key to getting over

Guy missed his chance.

AJ needs to dub Omos this ASAP.

Not even with ten Tully's.

The correct answer was Vince all along.

The real wonder with him is how he got Peyton Royce!


I kid, but good for him

[Hobby Drifter]

They’re worried about HHH’s kids googling who the 9th was.

I think it's more they'd have to be something so obviously unique and over to a point for them to do it... and the usual idea of just slapping it on a giant isn't going to fly well since well everyone's just going to point out they're trying to make the guy Andre (and big guys seem a lot more common now... since they don't do the territory cycle of monster heels anymore)

[Ryushinku]

I personally consider the 10th to be Meltman.

[dangerousdanpotato]

Stephanie actually referred to "So Fine" Stadium as the 10th wonder of the world in the WrestleMania announcement and I thought it was kind of cool how they continue to tacitly acknowledge Andre and Chyna.

[Mid-Carder]

Ivory called herself the 10th wonder of the world in her feud with Chyna so that's canon as far as I'm concerned

[sunnytaker]

and 100 years from now someone will be calling themselves the "63rd wonder of the world"

[Welfare Willis]

Because chances are it'd be someone lame like the Miz.

Taking a different direction for "wonder" would be the way to go I think in this case. Give him a mouthpiece that can build things up for him, and I could have seen Ricochet being the 10th Wonder of the World for his specific type of high flying (see that segment where he leapt out of the ring and landed on his feet in front of Velveteen Dream for example).

that was more what I was going for.

Andre was the 8th wonder because he was massive and there weren't as many giants around at the time.

Chyna was the 9th because she was bigger than the other women especially musclewise, and wrestled men.

The 10th would need to stand out some how and they didn't really start the branding on the 9th wonder of the world until Chyna was already over to an extent from what I remember.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Because frankly, Jade Cargill might be it if she can actually wrestle...

[SAJ Forth]

Nowadays, the fear it would be wasted on a wrestler that either won't live up or will leave is my guess.
