| If I had to pick the worst WWE Champion ever, I'd have to go with Sycho Sid. His gimmick was uninteresting, his ring work shoddy at best, and his promos were brutal to listen to. What did he have in common with most WWE wrestlers who get a push without ability? Size. But, he had that intangible something to set him apart from the other big men - it's called a permullet. Bad, bad, bad. At least Vinnie Mac had charisma.
And, though we were asked to limit it to WWE Champions only, I'll throw in my vote for the worst WCW Champion ever, as well. I could be mean and go with Sid again, but there is someone who I feel is worse than Sid. That dubious honor goes to none other than DDP. Sure, he had charisma. But, his character wasn't anything that could draw and he didn't look like much more than enhancement talent - in fact, he was low card enhancement talent a few years before becoming the champion! There was a reason why WWE only got him as high up their ladder as the European Champion (which, at that time, was about as meaningful as the short-lived WCW 6-Man Tag Team Championship). He was simply a lowcarder who was in the former right place at the supposedly right time - e.g. WCW had gone to hell in a handbasket and DDP was the one holding the handle. |
