10 Best Wrestlers Who Never Held The IMPACT World Championship

10. MVP

MVP has been doing tremendous work over the past year as part of The Hurt Business. The traces of that group, however, can really be traced back to IMPACT Wrestling circa 2014.

The former WWE United States Champion had been partnered with Bobby Lashley (funny, that) and current Ring Of Honor star Kenny King. It seemed an odd group at first, but it clicked soon enough. It clicked so much to the point MVP had a World Championship match with then-champ Eric Young at the 2014 Slammiversary pay-per-view.

There's only one problem there; MVP suffered an injury right before the pay-per-view. The future 'World Class Maniac' was instead scheduled to defend against both Bobby Lashley and Austin Aries, who had defeated Samoa Joe and Kenny King, respectively.

Other than a title match that November vs. Bobby Roode, this was as close as MVP came to the title.

This is surprising, really, considering how big of a role MVP actually played in the mid-2010s era of IMPACT. He - in storyline - had total control of wrestling operations for a time. MVP used this to give himself a title match, the aforementioned Slammiversary bout vs. Eric Young. Instead, his first World Championship run just wasn't met to be.
