Top 10 WWE World Heavyweight Champions

This is my penultimate list of top 10 WWE champions with the big gold aka WWE World Heavyweight Championship! Who will outweigh all to become the king of the heavyweights? Let's read on to find out! Funfact i always loved the big gold and want a replica some day.

10) Ric Flair
WOO!!! In at number 10 is the man who made the gold as valuable and respected as it is and that is 505 days 8 time reigning champion of the big gold, Ric Flair! Defeated Sting for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. WCW began recognising Flair as WCW World Heavyweight Champion while still using the NWA belt. WWE recognises this reign as an NWA world title reign (and not a WCW one).

9) Goldberg
Although Goldbergs first wwe run was pretty lame with a forgettable title run his time spent with the title in WCW is memorable and did a lot for him and he did a lot for the title i believe so anyway. Goldberg say what you want about him but he is vicious. 

8) Rey Mysterio 
After winning the 2006 Royal Rumble, Rey Mysterio became World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 22, overcoming Kurt Angle and Randy Orton in a triple threat match. The ultimate underdog or the littlest big man Rey was so good it's a shame wwe did not have much trust in him after his first reign and due to the amount of injuries his skills have diminished a bit but still he is great and still really popular and i hope if he returns to wwe he gets one last title run. 

7) Chris Jericho 
Despite being a three-time champion, Chris Jericho was never given a sustained amount of time with the belt, making all of his title reigns forgettable, with the only real highlight coming from a heated feud with Shawn Michaels in late 2008.

6) John Cena
AND HIS NAME IS......well you know who this guy is, that guy you can't see?  You know leader of the Cenation? Dr of thugonomics? JOOOOOOOHN CENAAAAA!? Yeah see you know who it is. Although Cena has gone for WWE title more than the big gold, Cena the marmite wrestler love him or hate him he puts on entertaining matches and fueds and he is WWE's biggest star!

5) Batista
The animal established himself as the new big star after beating Triple H to win the title at Mania 21, the only man to hold the belt for over 100 days on two separate occasions, as World Heavyweight Champion 'The Animal' became the top star on Smackdown, as well as one as the greatest champions to ever hold the belt.

4) Randy Orton
Randy Orton became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history when he captured the belt for the first time at Summerslam 2004, at the age of only 24. 'The Viper' only held the title for four weeks before dropping it to former mentor Triple H at Unforgiven. Following this, Orton would focus his attention on the WWE Title and would not capture another World Heavyweight Championship for nearly seven years. 

3) Undertaker
Taker first won the title 10 years ago back in 2007's Wrestlemania against the animal himself. In October 2009, 'The Deadman' began his third and final reign as champion after besting CM Punk at Hell in a Cell. This would become his longest run yet with the title, holding onto the belt for 140 days before losing it at No Way Out in an Elimination Chamber match, following interference from Shawn Michaels. Despite capturing the belt for two WrestleManias in a row, both title reigns were disappointingly short, before a third run that was slightly more befitting of a legend. If Taker has retired it is a damn shame he did not retire with gold. 

2) Edge
A record 7 title reigns with the big gold has Edge placed here but not only for his accomplishments but of course like any man on this list for their wrestling skills and charisma and their entertainment factor is what made Edge so good and excel at winning the big one. Despite being a record seven-time World Heavyweight Champion, the longest individual reign Edge had with the belt lasted only 105 days. Edge is one of the few stars to retire as a reigning world champion, 'The Ultimate Opportunist' held the belt more times than anyone else, and is rightly remembered as one of the great World Heavyweight Champions.

1) HHH
The first WWE World Heavyweight Champion, the game has held the title 5 times, although the game was first awarded the title does not mean he was just handed it for nothing. Including his eight WWE Championships, Triple H has spent well over 1,000 days as a world champion in the WWE. The company's first World Heavyweight Champion, he could very well be the greatest to ever hold the title!

There we go, that's my top 10 WWE WHC's so who made your list? Let me know!
