5 Biggest Superstars who never won a WWE or WCW World Championship

#3 Mr. Perfect

Curt Hennig is known for his stints in WWE and WCW in the 90s. Soon after his return to WWE in the late 80s, Hennig donned the gimmick of Mr. Perfect. He quickly kicked off an undefeated streak.

On March 19, 1990, Perfect suffered his first pinfall loss to The Ultimate Warrior on an MSG Network special. Over the next six years or so, Hennig turned into a major star and won the Intercontinental title on two occasions.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

He made his way to WCW in 1997 and teamed up with DDP in his very first match, to take on Randy Savage and Scott Hall. Originally a fan-favorite, Hennig turned heel by turning on DDP. Later, he joined Kevin Nash's nWo Wolfpac stable along with childhood friend Rick Rude.

He also won the US Heavyweight title by putting down Steve McMichael. This was the only singles title that Hennig won in WCW. He made a second return to WWE in the 2002 Royal Rumble match, and was eventually thrown out by Triple H.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
