Where I grew up, we didn't get access to WCW until mid-1991, so my earliest memories are of Luger with the belt. Maybe that's why I don't think of him as being such a bad Champion.

I'll go with David Arquette. As entertaining as he is, I just can't see how they thought putting the title on an actor was a good idea! Same thing with Russo, although I wasn't watching when that happened, but I imagine it would've been pretty bad.

Also, how long did Russo hold the title for? Was it just a quick thing, or did he actually have some successful defences of the title?

Look big daddy, it's regular daddy.

The David Arquette thing was purely to promote the "Ready to Rumble" movie--WCW was looking to get as much mainstream media attention as possible. Granted, David Arquette is NOT a worker in any sense, but his championship is, IMO, kinda "asterisked." The thing about it is that all money he made from WCW he reportedly GAVE to charity. Sounds kinda likable to me...

I'm in the minority because I enjoyed Jeff Jarrett as champion. He didn't have the big name value as the rest but I did like him as champ. I enjoy him more than Hogan. As for the worst, I'm not counting gimmick reigns such as Russo or Arquette which basically advanced storylines. For actual title reigns, where the powers that be thought the champion could be good, I'd have to pick Sid Viscious. In my opinion, he wasn't championship material. My other pick would be Scott Steiner in 2000. In 1992, it would have worked, but not in 2000.

Any non wrestler holding the title? Yeah, agreed... But Simmons was bad, but Hogan was worst... Hogan in my mind was more of a cartoon character and never a wrestler... lol

Let's say that was 1A, then 1B would be Vince Russo on September 25, 2000 in NY. Both were total disgraces to that great belt. That gets my vote right there.

Everyone who held the belt during that Era scarred the credibility of that title. Flair to me was a great NWA champion, not a great WCW champion.
