10 Greatest Wrestlers to Never Win the WWE Championship

#4 Dusty Rhodes

The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.

The American Dream isn't necessarily a wrestler everyone would associate with the WWE, as he mainly featured for the NWA or WCW, however the son of a plumber did have a run in the WWE. Considering the iconic figure that Rhodes is, it is a shame he never became WWE Champion in his career. His pristine legacy will always be affected because of the lack of a WWE Championship, one he was very worthy of.

Rhodes is one of the most iconic figures in wrestling history and deserves the highest billing that one could possibly give him. Despite that, WWE never put a belt on him. That is a massive shame, as Rhodes got caught in petty politics and never got a run in the WWE. It makes both Rhodes's resume as well as the history of the WWE Championship sparkle a little less.
