10 WWE Stars I Would Have Made World Champion

6. €œBig€ John Studd (1982­-1986, 1988-­1989)

WWE.comWWE.comWhen you were the size of a €œBig€ John Studd, and could do what he could in a wrestling ring, there always had to be an €œissue€ as to why somebody with clearly Main Event status never became the World Wrestling Federation Champion. In Studd€™s case, the little €œissue€ was a man by the name of Andre The Giant. Much like Strongbow and Putski before him, the €œmoney€ baby face is what limited Studd€™s un­limited potential. At the end of the match there was only going to be one giant left standing, and that was usually Andre. Who would ever forget Studd€™s €œBodyslam Challenge€, where the great Bobby €œThe Brain€ Heenan would put up 10 Grand of his own money if anybody could slam his protégé? What about the classic feuds with Andre, and later Hulk Hogan? Or, even better yet the unstoppable force when Studd teamed up with the 468­ pound King Kong Bundy? Yes ­­it was all there for the taking . . . again . . . had there not been a bigger Giant standing in the way.
