The WWE renown temple, John Bradshaw Layfield, was one of the men to have had a race as WWE champion, winning the title of Eddie Guerrero in 2004. The biggest names in the company were the WWE champion, but some just as large names never had that chance, something that was raised in a recent edition of The “Something to fight“Podcast as jbl believes that the” million dollar man “Ted Dibiase should have been a world champion. However, once he mentioned Dibiase, JBL listed a certain number of former WWE superstars which should have taken place as champion of the company.
“I think Ted should have been the WWE champion. I think he should have been for a long time. I think that (Roddy) Piper should have. I think Dustin Rhodes, especially as Goldust, I thought that Goldust should have been a champion, I thought he would have been a big champion, he was a big worker who had done everything and he had an incredible warmth. Benjamin should have had global heat. “
JBL explained that he understood that some of these names had never won the WWE championship because a wrestler does not always need the title to be finished, using the legend of the Magnificent Magnificatic Wrestling George as an example of someone who remains legend despite being a world champion. However, even if Dibiase had its Million Dollar championship, and Piper, Goldust and Benjamin have all won other WWE titles, JBL believes that some wrestlers will arrive at the end of their career and regret not having won a world championship, regardless of their popularity during their peak.
