Would Dino Bravo as WWF champion have worked?

LMAO. My guy Dino Bravo was never over enough anywhere outside of Montreal, had limited charisma, and if Vince lost his mind and put the title on Dino the WWF probably would have gone out of business. He's fine as an undercard hoss type but in no world or era should he ever be anywhere near being World Champion. lol

Not as a WWF champion, but I could see him as an AWA world champion. Wasn’t a promo guy, needed as WWF champion, and wasn’t a great wrestler, needed as NWA champion. He was ok at both those skills, so alas, AWA champion

I'd put the belt on Conquistador 2 before I'd even think about putting it on Bravo.

No, not offended (also it's been thirty years, I think we're past too soon), it's just I go for dark humour as well but I'm also autistic so I can't always tell when people are joking.

If it were 2000s era WWE, absolutely he would have a run and he might even have a long run. Wrestling now is different than wrestling then. You don't have to be entertaining to be a star in World Wrestling Entertainment.
Not a knock on any superstars today, just times are different. A Roman Reigns long reign is the exception not the rule.
Also, I loved how Lord Alfred said his name "Brave-O"

Briefly, he could, sure, but he'd be real low on the list of guys I'd consider putting in that position.

The crowd reaction for it would be so loud that you could hear air leaving the room.

It would only work as as the plan to eventually transition to Earthquake as new babyface WWF champion. For example, if Bravo were to defeat Ultimate Warrior via interference on a Saturday Nights Main Event. As an interim champion Bravo has Earthquake interfering in all of Bravo’s subsequent house show title defenses. Bravo remains champion only because Earthquake has his back, and all it would take to turn Quake babyface is an ill-timed splash costing Bravo the title back to tweener UW on SNME. Bravo idiotically starts bitchslapping Quake on national television; it’s a mistake he immediately regrets. Bravo is kayfabe injured by Quake, who takes Bravo’s #1 contender spot; he defeats Warrior and goes forward into 1991 as the new face of the company.

He had zero charisma, zero personality and zero ability. He couldn't draw flies to a manure convention.
