While working on my Rebooking every Wrestlemania thread, I saw this thread and decided I wanted to take a swing at it. So without further adieu, here's every World (Wide) Wrestling Federation champion rebooked!
The Golden Era (1963-1983)
Buddy Rodgers "wins" the WWWF Championship in a "tournament in Rio de Janeiro".
Bruno Sammartino beats Rodgers in 48 seconds, the fans didn't even realize it at first but soon popped as Bruno is crowned champion. "The Italian Superman" goes on to keep the belt for seven years.
Ivan Koloff defeats Sammartino on January 18, 1971 before losing to Pedro Morales on February 8, 1971.
Pedro Morales would hold on to the belt until losing it to his friend Bruno Sammartino on December 10, 1973 in a rare face vs. face match.
Bruno Smmartino second reign would not last as long as his first reign, only holding on to the belt for four years. The man who would end it would be the one and only, Superstar Billy Graham.
Billy Graham would walk out on April 30, 1977 the biggest heel in the wrestling world, he dominated any challenger and seemed to be unstoppable until he faced off against the American Dream Dusty Rhodes.
Dusty Rhodes would answer the fan's prayers and end Superstar Billy Graham's reign of terror on September 26, 1977. The American Dream would hold on to the WWWF championship until November 30, 1979 when Antonio Inoki would end his reign and become the first Japanese wrestler to win the WWF Championship.
Antonio Inoki's reign would mark an interesting one as he would defend it against both WWF superstars and New Japan superstars, many would try but failed to defeat Inoki and he kept the WWF title around his waist. Inoki would enter 1980 as the WWF Champion but would not walk out of the new decade as champ as former WWF Champion Superstar Billy Graham would defeat him and begin his second reign as WWF Champion.
Superstar Billy Graham would start his reign as a heel but eventually would turn face when feuding with former WWF Champion Ivan Koloff, the two would feud through out 1980 and 1981 with Graham defeating him in a bloody cage match. Graham would reign supreme through out 1982 but in 1983 it would all come to a end.
The Iron Sheik would make Superstar Billy Graham humble as he ended his 3 year reign via the Camel Clutch on December 26, 1983 and would enter 1984 champion but would not walk out champion...
