10 Wrestlers Who Will Never Hold The World Title Again

The only thing better than holding the world title once is holding it twice, and the only thing better than holding it twice is holding it three times, and - well, you get the point.

The likes of Rob Van Dam, Chris Benoit, and Eddie Guerrero are rightly recognised as being among the most talented wrestlers of their generation - yet the charge against them is that they didn't have the ability to lead the company (and, hence, their respective title reigns were each disappointingly short-lived).

And even those who did once over achieve the status of franchise player can one day expect a steady climb down the card, culminating with the chastening realisation that they may never get their hands on that coveted world championship again.

The point is: the wrestling business is ruthless, and today's stars - whose positions are perennially under threat from hungry young upstarts fresh off the indie conveyor belt - must learn to cherish each precious moment they have with gold around their waist.

Because frankly, you never you know which title reign could be your last.

It's hard to believe that it's been more than twenty years since Big Show claimed his maiden world title, as Andre's proud son, with a victory over Hulk Hogan at WCW's Halloween Havoc.

Actually, scratch that. It isn't that hard to believe. Big Show's colossal frame has always meant he was going to be more susceptible to the passage of time than many of his contemporaries and now in his 45th year, he looks every inch the veteran entering the final stretch of a long career.

All of that is to say that he probably won't be winning another one any time soon. But there's no shame in that: he had a good run - one of the best, in fact - and he has shown his continued worth in recent months by helping to put over Braun Strowman and latterly Big Cass.
