10 WWE Stars I Would Have Made World Champion

By Vince Russo /

1. €œRowdy€ Roddy Piper (1984­-1987, 1989­-1996, 2003 & 2005­)

WWE.comI think even Hulk Hogan would agree that there would be no Hulk Hogan without the €œHot Rod€, Roddy Piper. During his championship years, Piper was Hogan€™s main nemesis, and together, the two carried the World Wrestling Federation to National prominence. And, it was with those larger-than­-life personas, that wrestling€™s €œDynamic Duo€ literally, almost double-handedly not just put WrestleMania on the map, but made it a household name for the next three decades to come. Piper and Hogan perhaps complimented each other better than any baby/heel had before . . . or since. One could only wonder, could the popularity of the business at the time have reached even higher levels had Piper beaten Hogan for the belt­­­ and it was the Hulkster doing the chasing for a while?Better yet, if that did indeed happen, would we have seen a €œheel€ version of the €œHulkster€ 10 years prior to there ever being an NWO? Sadly, I guess we€™ll never know!
