Hey guys, I thought this would be an interesting topic. With all the Hall of Fame talk I decided I would finally do a Hall of Fame for my own personal GWF universe. I am very much a title guy, so my Hall of Fame is determined by championships. Here are my three rules (so far lol).
#1 The superstar must has at least 8+ title reigns accredited to their careers.
#2 GRAND SLAM RULE - If a wrestler captured more then three different titles and have 6+ least f title reigns to their respective career (*).
#3 RAVEN EFFECT - A wrestler that captures at least three titles with one title reign exceeding 200 days (**).
As you can see I nicknamed the third title just because I deserved Raven deserved to be in the Hall of Fame just because one of his reigns was huge and he wouldn't have been in otherwise. You may also notice that the way the rules are worded, Star Warrior will not be eligble for my Hall of Fame as he falls short of every rule BARELY, ;D! But anyway doing that I noticed some things ...
- Prodigy and Skinhead won various singles titles, but the duo NEVER captured the tag titles.
- The Earth title ... which in my fed is the "descendant" of the WWF title. WWF Heavyweight Champ, my original GWF Galaxian Champ and now GWF Earth Champ ... has never been won by Thunder. Someone I consider my all time favorite and best wrestler.
- But are you ready for this ... someone I really didn't expect is currently showcasing a complete shutout. Which is funny since Cordanus has one tag title reign to his name. Mensar has NO title reigns to his name.
Do you guys have anyone else that you like that is currently being shut out in your guys federations?

Raven (03)**

Wraith (03)**
Mercury Champ (2); Mars Champ (1)
... Star Warrior and Mayhem all miss the cut by one reign. Mandrill and Jack of Diamonds need one more before I retire them to qualify. I know what most of you are going to say, but I like the whole idea of titles to mean something. And I know someone like a Ted Dibiase wouldn't get in my Hall of Fame but those are the breaks. Though if I was running a fed Dibiase would have had at LEAST one major Intercontinental run and maybe World. I hated Hogan.

I would say the two guys that immediately come to mind are Enigma and Vyper. And both had their own high-profile runs at the top of the ranks. Both guys worked their way near the top of my fed in their primes, and got several title shots, but never won.
I might be forgetting something obscure, but I don't immediately recall Wolf ever winning my top title either.

Vyper is very streaky wrestler ... Enigma is someone I love to book but fails to capture the title. Though Enigma and Prodigy's cruiserweight feud WAS awesome!

When I restarted last month, I had a storyline that Colby went bankrupt and Cordanus was indicted on tax evasion charges on Mensa. Wrestlers were scattered all throughout the galaxy performing but wanted something of a union. So the Milky Way committee appointed Massif in charge of a new federation that would be ran and operated under a sporting commission (there is no president).
I was never a big fan of a feud table system. I like having titles mean A LOT!!! So I came up with my version of the Associated Press rankings, each planet has their own wrestling television show and title belt. Think of it sort of like a territory system or like boxing where a wrestler can hold multiple titles.
In my federation, the WWF title goes on to become the GWF title. So I thought it made sense to turn that into the Earth title. Colby in my fed was from Deimos, so my CPC title became the Mars title (Mars plays a big role in my fed because Murdok is the last original descendant of Mars in my fed - long story lol).
But anyway, I wanted a federation where I could ...
A - Use a lot of guys
B - Place a lot of emphasis on the title belts
C - Make use of a ranking system
D - Have an interesting way of booking (The Saturn board books in favor of say Scion Nexus, but when say he goes to Mars he gets booked unfavorably or not at all ... hence why one of the reasons when Tom asks what is the one thing you want and I respond an arena chart that is arranged by distance from the sun!!!)

I'd have to go with Enigma. He could win IP/IS gold and Cruiserweight gold(before I rid myself of the belt...though he then went to the CPC where I recognized it far longer) but never could capture the big gold. If it wasn't for 2087..it woiuld have been Terror/Dreadnaught..but he snuck in a short reign in 2087 before never getting better than the IP but he won that more than anyone else (12 reigns)

Great topic DEUS.
In my EC fed, the Mensans have had about 15 shots at the tag titles, and have come up short every time. It's to the point that some fans are even feeling sorry for them.

Believe it or not, Wolf never won a title for me. I just never booked him in title matches because I saw him as a guy who couldn't care less about belts, honors, and championships. He wanted to prove to himself that he could beat anyone, and beat them severely. So while he never won any official GWF titles, he was almost always at the forefront of my fed.
Weird, I know.

Janus. He always failed during the title matches.

And another vote for Janus. I never quite saw him as top-dog material but would have *loved* to see him get a nice long IP title reign. Never happened.
Commander Sam never held any belt for me--a big name historically but admittedly never exactly a world-beater (not counting his Classics cards).
Blazing Skull and Splatter are probably the next two biggest names for me...but it's kind of appropriate. When was either guy ever really concerned about titles? (I did have a Hardcore belt when Skull was at his peak, but I tended to use Anarchy as the designated title-contender for Brymstone Burning).

I agree with Goodzilla . Wolf for me , he did win it but straight after it was brutally attacked by Doomsday Creature and had to give up the strap .

Janus was funny for me...I never really tried him in the big title matches (though he did hold the CPC belt for a bit when it was still part of the GWF) but this guy was the cleaner in the CPC. Every time someone dropped a strap, it seemed Janus was always the one to go and win it back for the CPC.

Switchblade tore thru my fed in 2119 and had a feud of the year against Swarm in 2120, but he never held a belt. He headlined a ppv against the Amazing Mann for the GWF title, but submitted to CONTORTION.
