Well, his record will certainly say that because by winning the ECW heavyweight title from Rob van Dam on Tuesday night he became the first man to win the WWE, WCW and ECW heavyweight titles. Surely that makes him the greatest champ of all time? As a WCW champ he was held back by Hogan and co. As WWF champ he was almost torpedoed by an horrific angle with the Big Bossman. As WWE champ he had some awesome matches with Brock Lesnar, but suffered from the exit of Paul Heyman from the Smackdown creative team and so no here he is as ECW champ.
Benefitting from his close relationship with Paul Heyman as well as the drugs bust by RVD, Show has earned himself the enviable position of being a triple world champion. After years of unfulfilled potential perhaps now is finally the time the big man can make a name for himself. Certainly he is not the obvious choice as ECW world champion, however with the strong rodter of babyfaces that make up the new ECW roster, this actually allows for more options for the top title. Feuds with Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Sabu and retunring RVD will make for more interesting TV than matches between existing ECW talent which we have seen before and which will never be as good as they were 10 years ago. So with this new dawn for ECW, perhaps it is time for a new breed of champ to take over the reigns in ECW and with time, perhaps Big Show will live up to his reputation as the first triple world champion in modern wrestling history.
