10. Arn Anderson
9. Chief Jay Strongbow
8. Paul Orndorff
7. Nikita Koloff
6. Junkyard Dog
5. Scott Hall
4. Jake "The Snake" Roberts
3. British Bulldog
2. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase
1. "Rowdy" Roddy Roddy Piper
WWE Hall of Famer Killer Kowalski and Lance Storm were also listed as honorable mentions.
Do you agree with this list? I always thought ted DiBiase was recognised as WWE Champion after buying the title from Andre, guess not. I'd probably have the Bulldog at number 1, I can't stress enough just how popular he was in the UK (and the rest of the world for that matter) in the early 90's, the guy single-handedly sold out Summerslam '92 and really should have been winning the WWE title that day.

I'm assuming it counts as actually winning it, not buying it (in reference to DiBiase), though technically he did become champion

Shitty list tbh. I do agree with some of it - Scott Hall, Ted DiBiase, British Bulldog, and I'll even agree with Nikita Koloff. But why the hell would Junkyard Dog ever have been WWF champion? Lex Luger should be here, Mr. Perfect certainly, and I'd personally add Bobby Lashley, though many would disagree.

Lashley won one of WWE's 3 "world" titles though, even if it was only ECW. For me when I saw the name of this list I knew Hot Rod would be in number 1, and figured Dibiase and Bulldog wouldn't be far behind, but there's a couple of names on the list I'd change. For starters - exactly as Deej said, Junkyard Dog? Respect for all the work in his career and all that, but why the hell is he on there when Owen Hart isn't? I realise it could be argued that that's a bit different as Owen almost certainly would have won the big one eventually save for tragic circumstances, but for all he was Bret's younger brother (and inevitably had a shadow to work out of) I personally rated him as even better technically than Bret. There really aren't too many people I'd rate above Hitman in that department, but Owen is definitely one of the few, if not the only one. That's the major omission for me at least. And deej, having written this in the quick reply box straight under your post, I can safely say I loathe your signature

Great shouts with Luger and especially Mr Perfect, Owen Hart too.

Luger, and perfect should be in there along with Owen Hart. I think Farooq should be in there too.

Luger, and perfect should be in there along with Owen Hart. I think Farooq should be in there too. Farooq's an odd choice since he was the first ever black world champ. But he never did win any major titles in the WWE so he might qualify for their list. I agree with their honourable mentions and many of the names on this list, especially luger. He's the biggest legend star in this business!

I'm not surprised Luger didn't make the list, Vince hates him. No idea how Mr. Perfect and Owen was left off.

I noticed that Jerry Lawler isn't among the list either.

was Lawler ever an NWA/World Heavyweight Champ? I think this list refers mainly to the WWE title.
