@@Andytate3000 No, Batista was terrible. The epitome of Vince’s obsession with show muscles. Dude was an immobile blockhead. Had a great look, and was decent on the mic, so he had that going for him at least. Also had the worst looking spear in the game. Make’s Goldberg look like Kurt Angle in comparison. 🤣
Brock is the youngest WWE champ ever (24), has the shortest time from TV debut to WWE champ (5 months), and has the longest span between his first and last reigns (19 years 5 months, or 20 calendar years). He's also defeated all four Black WWE champions for the title.
Worst belt in the history of wrestling. And it perfectly represents why millions of fans tuned out during that time and never returned. I don’t care what some 18-24 year old kid thinks about nostalgia for their childhood years. It was a piece of shit belt period.
@@turtletube420unless you've started watching after 2015, nope they're Totally different. 1 was for smackdown the world heavy weight championship. The other 1, for raw, the WWE Championship, (you know the spinner belt by Cena during that time.)
@@turtletube420 adding on to ungasshungak, the world heavyweight title is basically the WCW title. So no, definitely not held in the same regard as the WWF/WWE title. This is why it was such a big deal when Kofi won the WWE title. The only people of color WWE gave a world title to, it was always the old WCW title, not the WWE title. And WCW had Ron Simmons win it in the early 90s. Only exception is Rock, who flaunts his Samoan roots far more than his father’s, so it’s debatable whether that counts. As far as a full on black person, it only took WWE just under 30 years to do what WCW did. Granted, WCW only put in on Simmons because they were facing racial lawsuits, but still, they did it first, and second with Booker. I never cared much for WCW, but that’s one thing they’ll always have over every other company.
My favourite fact about the WWE Championship is that in 2002 it had 4 different incarnations! 1st wwf Undisputed championship 2 belts 2 wwf undisputed championship 1 belt 3 wwe undisputed championship 1 belt 4 wwe championship 1 belt
The undertaker never defended a single title at WrestleMania, even though the method to unlock his hooded outfit in 2k12 was to win the title from him at WrestleMania in universe mode
Bonus Fact: Steve Austin, The Rock, Mankind and Triple H are the only superstars to win the WWE (WWF) championship at least 3 times during the Attitude Era.
I always looked at the Universal title as a title for the fans, or the WWE "Universe". You can be a champion for the company, or a champion for the ppl... kinda like how the World Heavyweight title is now.
i wouldn't so much say vince didn't get masked wrestlers, i'm thinking he more didn't get Lucha style wrestlers as main eventers, or generally didn't so much like anyone that wasn't super sized; either big muscles, tall or just.. big. he would eventually let some of the less big people win if it'd make him some money, but i still don't think he liked most of them. i sometimes think they should have a big title that is over both shows, but i also don't know if they should drop one of the two big titles they have now. or create another belt above all others? i honestly don't really like either idea... but it does also seem there should be an overall champion to be the actual "best" in the company, not best person on fridays and best on mondays. especially when they can't even really stick to the different shows being apart.
I still have no idea why if they insist on having both shows have their own stars then why not simply have a RAW Champion, a Smackdown Champion, and a WWE Champion who holds the most important title and can wrestle on either show. If they build up the importance of tag-team wrestling, do the same thing for it. I would also get rid of the IC and US titles. Three singles and three tag-team titles are more than enough.
Cena and mr McMahon wanted that win back to bad they screwed cm punk. They could of done the triple threat match with cm punk vs the rock vs Cena. Then the other year they could of done cena vs Rock. It would of hit wayyyyyy better.
Yes. Like it or not, the WWE Championship is THE title is professional wrestling. The lineages of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and even the ECW World Heavyweight Championship to a degree are all tied to the WWE Championship. There is not, and likely never will be a more important World Championship in American pro wrestling than the WWE Championship.
@@kingarthur6173 I miss the old NWA also, man. Being from Virginia, I grew up on the Mid-Atlantic territory. I loved Jim Crockett Promotions. The territory system was completely destroyed. There's no such thing as regional wrestling anymore and the business is worse for ware because of it.
Same as you because you have done the same thing just not on camera every single person alive has done or said something racist and anyone who says that they have not are lying hypocrites
Its not difficult. Universal-champion, not Universe Champion. Meaning Champion of All, or Comprihensive champion. & if you're joking about it, then it's a seriously tired joke.
@willurbanovitch3020 According to WWE's website, the 2 belts are not yet unified, and Cody is just both simultaneously WWE and Universal champ. The gold belt just says Undisputed Champion on it, which is what they call Cody on TV.

While Steve Austin never defended the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania, the Rock never won nor retained the title at Wrestlemania either.
Crazy to realize both of those.
The Rock defeated John Cena at Wrestlemania for the title 💯
@@StunnersSquadEnt That wasn't for the title.
@@StunnersSquadEntNo he didnt

So when you say Batista in the 3 decades part, I'm guessing that was actually Brock as he is then mentioned in the end part of that section
That's what they meant. Lol I was so confused I was like, batista has never won it in a third decade
Okay glad I found this comment immediately because I was seriously thrown off there
3:15 can you explain how Batista made this list? He only held the title twice and his career went from 2002-2019. That’s only two different decades
Backland held the belt in 3 decades right? 70s 80s 90s
This list has so many errors and malinformation
Batista Only Won WWE Championship Twice (Extreme Rules 2009 and Elimination Chamber 2010)
Two times more than he should have.

@ as much as you slag him off vince is the reason wwe was great
when or if cody turns heel he should make an american nightmare belt i see a lot cool looking ones on community creation

That’s the magic of being white 👌
Since you counted the universal title as a name for the wwe championship, shouldn’t The Fiend count as a masked wrestler winning the title?
EVEN Rey Mysterio had a run in 2011
@@monampanemoganedi169it was really more like a walk for 2 hours
Truly lovely
It would be so funny if the guy who stole Bruno's belt all those years ago shows up with it and says "I am the real champion."
Good chance he’s dead.
Yeh!!!! HAHAHAHAHA that would be so funny hey!!! Everyone would be rolling on the floor after hearing that
Backlund returned late 1992, not 1994. Won the title in 94.
FACTS I loved backland’s crazy old man this generation sucks gimmick he had.
Not just that but Rey won the World title in 2006, not 2005, that honor belongs to Kurt Angle.
Whoever wrote that section is a plebian...
@@usamazahid3882I believe angle won the whc in 06 instead of 05 as well
That's *Mr* Backlund to you! That's what's wrong with kids these days!!
This has so many factual errors it’s insane.
Agreed! Universal title is NOT the same thing. Grrrr!
It's what culture, I expected nothing except poorly done research
Goldberg should be on the list
Batista only wrestled in the 2000s and 2010s.
No point making a statement like that and not actually stating what the factual errors are.
1 thing I do know… the spinner belt should have strictly been a Cena thing 😂 it looked goofy as hell on anyone else
The Spinner Belt was goofy period. It was an eyesore.
Worst belt in the history of wrestling. And it perfectly represents why millions of fans tuned out during that time and never returned. I don’t care what some 18-24 year old kid thinks about nostalgia for their childhood years. It was a piece of shit belt period.
Crazy stat the miz is tonically better than everyone in wwe going off the statistics
FACTS.
The Stone Cold stat is similar to Flair always DEFENDING the Belt at Starrcade, save for one year.
4:23 You must remember then that during that month of November George Forman regained the Boxing Heavyweight title so there was a thing that month
3:17
They mean Brock. Not Batista.
I was trying to figure that out, especially after he said Brock Lesnar out of nowhere.
Rey won the World Heavyweight Championship not the wwe title in 2006 not 2005
You do know that they are the same thing right

It would be amazing if someone could find the original belt
How did batista win in 3 decades? Even with returns he didn't wrestle that much
Because of his muscles. And someone else’s boner for men with muscles 😆
My tought exactly, his last match was in 2019. And his first title was in 2005 (and wasn't even the WWE championship)
I think Simon meant Brock Lesnar instead of Batista
Thanks guys. I was racking my brain trying to figure it out.
It's even more impressive when you find out he only won the WWE title 2 times.
They really messed it up with Backlund. His heel run was great. But when he got squished like a bug by Diesel he was toast. Terrible decision.
Batista only won it in the 2000s and 2010s. Meanwhile, Brock won it in the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.
The undertaker never defended a single title at WrestleMania, even though the method to unlock his hooded outfit in 2k12 was to win the title from him at WrestleMania in universe mode
If Sheamus gets a push he could join the elite club
Little known fact: the Winged Eagle belt is known by that name because it has an eagle on it.
I like the animations here, but please stop with the rapid flashing lights. Some of us have epilepsy.
How yall confuse Brock and Batista. Like seriously
That got me to 😂 sure
If The Rock vs Roman went ahead as scheduled, Rock could've been the only wrestler to win a world championship in 4 different decades
That was the WCW title shown for 1991 on the Undertaker factoid...
Remember in 2013 we had the chance to vote for the name of what would be known as the WWE World Heavyweight Title?
Bonus Fact: Steve Austin, The Rock, Mankind and Triple H are the only superstars to win the WWE (WWF) championship at least 3 times during the Attitude Era.
Steve Austin never defended the title at WrestleMania and The Rock never won the title at WrestleMania.
How many times did it unify/merge/become undisputed to then create another title?
11 title changes in 12 months makes the title meaningless
Batista never wrestled in either the 1990s or the 2020s in WWE. How is that possible?? 😅
jinder mahal winning the wwe championship was shocking
I always looked at the Universal title as a title for the fans, or the WWE "Universe". You can be a champion for the company, or a champion for the ppl... kinda like how the World Heavyweight title is now.

Make one for the World heavyweight title plz
Steve Austin is a replicant?
I think they accidentally confused Batista and Brock.

HHH held the title in the 80s, 90s, 2000s? Maybe I'm forgetting when he won it in the 80s, but correct me if I'm wrong
He didn't start until the 90s

World and WWE are the same they need to just drop one and have the champion show on both shows and they only have 2 belts because of wcw
What? Batista and Orton have never won the world title in three separate decades. The 2000’s and the 2010’s.
John cena is definitely going to hit that list next year in 2025 😂😂❤
Backlund LOST it in December 1983. And he returned in 1992, not '95...
Did Bruno eat a Longhorn Steakhouse? 😂
One of my favorite restaurants. They need to bring back the rancher sirloin. It was delicious.
7:29 Hogan with the IC belt?
Had to nitpick the things they got RIGHT in this video...
Cena and mr McMahon wanted that win back to bad they screwed cm punk. They could of done the triple threat match with cm punk vs the rock vs Cena. Then the other year they could of done cena vs Rock. It would of hit wayyyyyy better.
