The Champ Isn't Here: 10 Best Wrestlers Who Never Won WWE Title

6. Roddy Piper

roddy piper Piper is an icon in the world of wrestling and has cut some of the best promos ever. Along with Hogan he is responsible for making wrestling more mainstream but for some strange reason he was never WWF/WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He would have made an awesome heel champion during the whole €œRock €˜n€™ Wrestling Connection era during the €˜80€™s but unfortunately Vince McMahon thought otherwise. I€™ll admit that Piper isn€™t the greatest wrestler in terms of technical ability and his repertoire was made up of a series of pretty basic moves and maneuvers (no one would ever confuse him with a mat general like Chris Benoit, Jushin €œThunder€ Liger, or the like) but he made up for it in others ways. His over the top person personality and natural charisma were enough alone to make him a successful world champion, and I think that Vince and his crew made a huge mistake but never putting the belt around his waist.
