Top 15 champions in WWE

[Lowki]

Now is this for just when WWE had the WHC? Because if it's just the WHC that is tied to WCW and NWA then it's a crime there's no Thez, Flair, Race. Maybe even Hogan.

I think it's the WWE version. I think WWE recognize those in the past as WCW world heavyweight champions, so they've technically retired the history of the title but reused the physical belt as a new championship.

Before everyone gets wound up in debates, READ the actual WWE.com post available via the link. They're only talking about the "Ric Flair" belt, the big gold one, that's about to celebrate its tenth year in the Fed. Oddly enough, Wikipedia claims some guy named Shawn Michaels was once WWE World Heavyweight champ, but he must not have been very good, seeing he didn't make this list.

Wonder whatever became of the bum.

I know, that's why i capitalized world. I actually forgot about HBK.. Wonder why they left him out.. actually i can't remember it being a memorable run =/

Great list. It's good to see Mark Henry's World Heavyweight title reign at #8. He had an incredible World Heavyweight title reign. I wouldn't mind seeing another monster reign from him.

Okay after reading the posts its suppose to be "Ric Flairs" style belt. WWE can do whatever they want, but I think its funny to only count a belt style. I guess WWE can next make a list of top WWE champs and leave Austin, Rock, Taker, Triple H, Savage and Hulk off the list cause the belt wasn't the spinner belt championship.

Lol end of rant.

agreed, if I do say so myself

I would say its a pretty fair list. Not as many people held the title back in the day and in my opinion the last time it had a good title run was when mark henry held it.

[HeelTurn]

Can't really argue with the top 4, Triple H did dominate the World title for years and beat pretty much everyone on Raw. Then Batista and Edge did it on Smackdown. Shame Christian wasn't included, but I can totally see why, he hardly even had the belt much like HBK.

[Dr. Death]

It's a decent list for the WWE version of the WHC. If it was the NWA style then the list (in no order) would look like:

Lou Thesz
Dick Hutton
Pat O'Conner
Buddy Rogers
Dory Funk
Gene Kiniski
Jack Brisco
Terry Funk
Harley Race
Ric Flair
Dan Severn
Naoya Ogawa
Sting
Jeff Jarrett
Blue Demon Jr
Adam Pierce
Colt Cabana

There are others that held this particular belt, but these people held the belt off and on for the longest reigns if memory serves me correctly. However the list provided by Lowki (as explained already by Lowki) is the WWE version of the belt so it's a good list also.
