Best Womens Wrestler To Never Win A Championship

So my blog lost the results of this poll. Sorry, but I can't post the results. I know for a fact that the winner was Torrie Wilson, and Stacy Keibler was the runner up. I can't honestly remember the rest. 

I think Sunny should have won. She was the original Diva. Everything Sable was in the WWF was what Sunny was supposed to have but she threw it all away before it happened. Playboy wanted Sunny because she was the most downloaded woman on the internet, she beat out Pamela Anderson. But Sunny turned down Playboy for whatever reason, but then turned around and posed nude for some shitty website for peanuts. She could have been the top selling Playboy cover girl of all time, but instead that went to Sable. I'm sure Vince would have brought back the Woman's Championship for Sunny because she was the hottest Diva and most popular Diva in WWF history. But she left and the belt and playboy went to Sable. 

I don't know why Torrie Wilson never won, she was the top Diva in the company after Vince bought WCW. She was the next Sable in Playboy, and had a great feud with Dawn Marie in a step-mother / step-daughter match. That should have been for the title. Unfortunately, this was back when Raw and Smackdown were divided and she was on Smackdown and the Woman's Championship was on Raw around Trish Stratus' waist. Not long after Torrie was gone they brought in the Diva's Championship so both shows could have a woman's champion. But it was too late for Torrie. 

Stacy should have been a huge star and champion but they never really pushed her as a wrestler. I assume it was her choice not to wrestle, but when she did the fans loved it. Gorgeous George would have been the champion if WCW had a woman's champion, or if they let her come to the WWF. She should have after Vince bought WCW but by then she was gone. 

Technically Maria won a woman's championship but its not in TNA or WWE so I didn't count it. So she shouldn't really be on this list.

Sable (Rena Lesnar)

Rena Marlette Lesnar (formerly Mero, Greek, on August 8, 1967), better known as Sable, is an American model, actress, and former professional wrestler. She is primarily known for her stints in World Wrestling Entertainment.

Before gaining popularity in the world of professional wrestling, Mero worked as a model for L'Oréal, Pepsi, and Guess?. Along with her second husband Marc Mero, she began working for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1996. As Sable, she was one of the first WWE Divas, and she gained considerable popularity, surpassing that of her husband's. After feuding with Luna Vachon, and Jacqueline, Sable became the second WWF Women's Champion after the title was reinstated into the company. After becoming a heel and leaving the company, Mero filed a $110 million lawsuit against the company, citing allegations of sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions.

In 2003, she returned to the newly renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) where she was put into a storyline feud with Torrie Wilson, and another storyline as Vince McMahon's mistress. In 2004, she left the company to spend more time with her family.

Outside of wrestling, Mero has been featured on the cover of Playboy three times. The April 1999 issue of the magazine with her on the cover was one of the highest selling issues in Playboy history. She has also guest starred on several television series, including Pacific Blue. She also appeared in the film Corky Romano. 

Rena Greek was born in Jacksonville, Florida. She was active in her youth and was interested in activities such as gymnastics, horseback riding, and softball. After winning her first beauty pageant at twelve years of age, she eventually became a model in 1990, working with companies such as L'Oréal, Pepsi, and Guess?.

Greek married Wayne W. Richardson in 1986. The couple had a daughter named Mariah in 1991. The two remained married until Richardson died in a drunk-driving accident in 1991. She met her second husband, professional wrestler and former boxer Marc Mero, who had been performing in World Championship Wrestling as "Johnny B. Badd", in 1993. Mero also had breast augmentation surgery in 1993 to increase her self-esteem. After marrying Mero in the following year, she broke into the wrestling business through the World Wrestling Federation.

Rena Mero made her World Wrestling Federation debut as Sable at WrestleMania XII in March 1996, escorting Hunter Hearst Helmsley to the ring as he took on the returning The Ultimate Warrior. Mero's first major angle as Sable involved her then real-life husband, who debuted at WrestleMania XII as "Wildman" Marc Mero. The storyline started when Marc Mero witnessed Sable being mistreated by Helmsley backstage, so Marc Mero attacked Helmsley and took Sable as his manager. She remained Mero's manager until his injury in 1997. Between 1997 and the time he returned from his injury in 1998, Sable became popular on her own. In her next storyline, a returning Marc Mero (now known as "Marvelous" Marc Mero) became jealous, refused to let Sable get any of the spotlight, and mistreated her. The duo entered into a feud with Luna Vachon and The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust, which climaxed in a match at WrestleMania XIV in March 1998. Sable delivered a superkick to Goldust and executed a "Sable Bomb", a version of the powerbomb, on Luna. She also delivered a TKO and pinned Luna to finish the match, with the crowd chanting Sable's name in the background. At the following pay-per-view event, Unforgiven in April 1998, Sable lost to Luna in an Evening Gown match after being distracted by Marc Mero.

After Marc's interference at Unforgiven, Sable came to the ring and challenged Marc to a match. Sable then kicked him in the groin and delivered a Sable Bomb to get revenge. Sable eventually broke away from "Marvelous" Marc Mero, who debuted Jacqueline as his new manager, resulting in a storyline feud between the two women. The two met in a bikini contest in July 1998 at Fully Loaded. Sable, only wearing impressions of hands painted on her exposed breasts, won the contest. The next night on Raw however, Vince McMahon disqualified Sable from the previous night's contest since she did not actually wear a bikini, and the match was then awarded to Jacqueline. In response, Sable gave McMahon the double finger. At SummerSlam, Sable and her mystery partner, federation newcomer Edge, defeated Marc Mero and Jacqueline in a mixed tag team match.

Sable and Jacqueline faced off for the newly reinstated WWF Women's Title on the September 21, 1998 edition of Raw. Jacqueline claimed the title after Marc Mero interfered. On November 15, 1998 at Survivor Series, she dropped the title to Sable, who won after powerbombing both Marc and Jacqueline during the match. During this time, Rena had a guest appearance on an episode of the USA Network show Pacific Blue. Sable then briefly entered a storyline where she was forced to play a subservient role to Vince and Shane McMahon, but the storyline was cut short.

In June 1999, Rena Lesnar quit the WWF and filed a $110 million lawsuit against the company, citing allegations of sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions. She claims to have filed the lawsuit after refusing to go topless. During the course of the lawsuit, Vince McMahon counter-sued Rena over control of the stagename "Sable". Lesnar reduced the amount she was seeking in damages, and they eventually settled out of court in August 1999. Lesnar used her real name for her appearance in the September 1999 issue of Playboy. She was the first woman in history to be given two Playboy covers in the same year. After her WWF exit, she made an on-camera appearance as an audience member on World Championship Wrestling's Nitro on June 14, 1999.

During this time, Lesnar made appearances on The Howard Stern Show and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. She also made appearances on television shows such as Relic Hunter and First Wave and in the films Corky Romano as a female bouncer and Ariana's Quest. She released her autobiography, entitled Undefeated in August 2000. She also released a comic book entitled The 10th Muse starring herself as a superhero. In May 2001, Lesnar was given an advice column on CompuServe. On November 13 and November 14, 2001, she appeared as the on-camera "CEO" of the newly formed X Wrestling Federation (XWF), but these were her only appearances with the company.

Rena, along with Brock Lesnar, appeared at several New Japan Pro Wrestling shows after her WWE release. After Rena and Marc Mero became officially divorced in 2004, she began dating Lesnar, whom she became engaged to later that year. The engagement was called off in early 2005, but they were engaged again in January 2006. They were married on May 6th, 2006. The couple have two sons together, Turk and Duke. She also has a stepdaughter, Mya, from Brock's first marriage.

CM Punk vs Ryback

So, CM Punk versus Ryback.  Who ya got?

To say that this one is a big deal is to make a huge understatement.  The WWE Champion, who has held the title for nearly a full year, facing off against a monster who has caught fire and is itching to prove himself on the pay-per-view stage.

WWE knows drama.

With all apologies to Mr. Turner on that one, I will say that I am really looking forward to this match. While there has not been the incredible amount of build-up that we have traditionally seen in the past from WWE, there is a tangible electricity surrounding this championship match.

And not for the reasons you may think.

Yes, it’s a big deal that CM Punk, WWE’s hottest heel, is putting his groundbreaking title run on the line at Hell in a Cell.  And yes, it’s also a big deal that Ryback, a guy who is a totally unproven main-event commodity, is the man stepping up to the plate.  It seems as though that should be enough to make this match big and important, right?

But for me the reason why this match possesses the energy it does is because of the complete uncertainty that surrounds it.

On one side, you have the champ.  Punk has accomplished more in one year than he has in his entire WWE career.  He is the uncrowned face of the company, second only to John Cena and he has been WWE Champion for almost 12 months.  He has had some great moments, some great matches and he has totally redefined what it means to be a WWE Superstar on the main-event level.  There is no doubting his ability to work or his ability to entertain.

On the other side, you have Ryback, the WWE Superstar formerly known as Skip Sheffield.  Ryback has been pushed, promoted and featured as an unstoppable beast who devours everything in sight. He asks for no mercy and gives none.  His ferocity is limitless and it’s that animalistic persona that has led him to an undefeated career in WWE.

Now for the uncertainty.

Who’s going to win?  Who, how and why?  It’s a good one, right?  I think so, too.

If Punk wins, then all the work that has gone into making Ryback will be for nothing.  Ryback would have to lose as a result of a screw job, not a straight-out legal three count.  If that happens, then Ryback has his first loss and his push is dead in the water.

If Ryback wins, then the momentum that Punk would have had going into a possible Royal Rumble showdown with the Rock is over.  No championship equals virtually no reason for those two to face off.

Add to that the fact that Punk has been champion as long as he has, with all the experience he has, only to lose to a guy who has accomplished nothing in his own career?  Just like that?For me, it’s a no win situation.  But the truth is, WWE has painted itself into a corner with this one.

Ryback has been rolling along, mowing down whatever competition that’s been put in front of him. Showing one feat of strength after another and building his character one match at a time, Ryback’s slow burn reached critical mass on the night that he first stared down the WWE Champion.

But, it had to happen.  It was inevitable.  Why?

Because Ryback was too big.  He had too much buzz.  And he was undefeated.  With those facts in play, the truth is that Ryback had his run of the place.  His character would have supreme confidence, and only be concerned with who his next victim was going to be. Ryback would not be intimidated by CM Punk’s position or his domination as WWE Champion.  So when he decided that Punk was going to be on the menu, he moved ahead without a second thought. WWE did a lot of work with Ryback and has made tremendous strides in getting him over with fans.

But they had to know that the quicker they moved him along, the quicker he would cross paths with Punk.  And that was likely the plan from the beginning.

So, now he’s here, he’s working Punk at Hell in a Cell and we’re all left wondering what will happen now.  For me, it’s an impossible situation, with no easy answers in sight.

At the end of the day, WWE moves ahead based on the strength and drawing potential of its new stars.  They always have to think of the future and what talents they can cultivate to help them keep going forward.  They undoubtedly feel Ryback is the next, newest guy to make that happen. 

Now if only they can figure out what to do with him on Sunday.

Kane & Daniel Bryan

Although I'm not someone who constantly bashes the WWE's PG programming, one area in which it has detracted from the overall quality of the product is when it comes to comedic segments. Many of the WWE's infantile attempts at humor fall short, but Kane and Daniel Bryan seem to be changing that.

When you consider where the new Tag Team champions were several months ago, it's tough to fathom that they are coming close to meeting or exceeding the comedic chemistry that Edge and Christian exemplified for so many years as a team. Everything Kane and Bryan have done over the past month has been fantastic, though.

When Bryan came to WWE he was a spectacular technical wrestler, but he seemed to be lacking when it came to personality. Kane made his long-awaited return under a mask last year and was portrayed as an unstoppable monster, but he has changed significantly as he has gone back to being more of a fan-friendly character.

It's tough to say why with certainty, but Kane and Bryan together as a team just works. The WWE has done a great job of cultivating their partnership by having them feud at first and then playing up their respective psychological problems to make it seem as though they have something in common.

Not only that, but both Bryan and Kane have some history with RAW general manager A.J. Lee. She used her power to further embarrass her former flames by making both of them attend anger-management classes. As simple as they were, the anger-management skits were funnier than anything the WWE has produced in the past few years at least.

Both Kane and Bryan have done such a great job that they actually make me believe that they're mentally unstable sometimes. After they won the Tag Team Championship at Night of Champions, they continually screamed "I am the Tag Team champions" at each other, and as simple as it may sound, I hope they continue that gimmick moving forward.

Kane has played the serious monster for the majority of his career, but he is no stranger to being a comedic character either. That usually happens when he's in tag teams with the likes of Hurricane, X-Pac, Rob Van Dam and others, so it isn't overly surprising to see him doing it now that he's paired with D-Bry.

Are Kane and Daniel Bryan the WWE's best comedic duo in years?
Yes, everything they have done has been hilarious No, they're good, but there has been better No, I don't find them funny at all Submit Vote vote to see results

As far as Bryan is concerned, though, I didn't realize he had this type of entertainment value in him. As "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, Bryan was always a vicious in-ring competitor with incredible skill, but he had a very serious demeanor that didn't seem to lend itself to comedic excellence.

Perhaps Bryan was actually being held back on the independent scene to some degree, though, as the psychotic comedy act has made him immeasurably more entertaining in my estimation. The old Bryan was great, but he was somewhat one-dimensional, so I have to believe that his new persona is going to launch him to new heights in the WWE.

One of the best features of the Attitude Era was the comedy, and while not everything was as hilarious as Vince McMahon probably thought, there were a lot of great moments. The WWE can't really let loose now like it did back then as far as comedy sketches go, but Kane and Bryan have managed to be funny while staying within the PG guidelines.

Truth be told, Kane and Bryan have a lot of restrictions that could stop them from being funny, but they haven't affected them at all. Kane and Bryan have kept things fairly simple, but the crazy gimmick allows them to act strange and it just seems to work.

I know that Kane and Bryan won't be a team forever, since Bryan has a bright future as a singles competitor, but I'm certainly going to enjoy the ride for now. The tag division has been irrelevant for so long that I'm ecstatic to see to guys working together to bring it back to prominence.

Not only are they doing that for the die-hard fans, but they're keeping all the fringe fans entertained as well with their wacky antics. Kane and Bryan are undoubtedly the best thing going in WWE right now.

Bruno Sammartino > CM Punk

People can keep counting the days on CM Punk's title reign all they want. He will never reach the record held by Bruno Sammartino.

Sammartino was the WWWF Champion for 11 total years across two reigns, but it was the loss after his longest reign that stung the worst.

Sammartino lost the belt to Ivan Koloff in a technical clinic that, for some reason, was never filmed or televised.

To this day, the reign of over seven years is something looked at as legendary and almost mythical because for something like that to happen in today's wrestling world would be nearly impossible.

Sammartino ended up winning the title back and held it for another astonishing 1,237 days.
