by It is the oldest debate in Pro Wrestling. Who is the greatest WWE Heavyweight Champion of all time? When you think back to the lineage that began with Buddy Rogers all the way back in 1963 as the first WWWF Champion to Cody Rhodes today, there have been some great ones.
This is strictly a list of WWWF, WWF and WWE world champions. You will not see men like Dusty Rhodes, Vader, Sting or Ric Flair on this list. While Flair did win 2 WWF World Titles in 1992, both were short reigns with almost no defenses. In fact, the second one lasted less then a month.
So, here now are the 10 greatest men to ever wear the World Title Belt.
The list begins on page two and there will be a wrestler on each page moving forward.
HONORABLE MENTION OF NAMES NOT ON THE LIST
Mankind, The Ultimate Warrior, Randy Orton, Macho Man Randy Savage, Brock Lesnar, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Batista, CM Punk Cody Rhodes and Diesel.
