Bruno Sammartino should go down as one of the best WWE Champions in history. Hands down.

Sammartino has my vote, Sure Randy has done alot with the title but Bruno was just this massive force behind the machine and his reign is legendary.

What Bruno did will never be done again. His title reign lasted more than the average wrestlers career. Just purely insane.

Bruno has something stupid like 10 years as the Heavyweight Champion combined, Orton doesn't even have 10 reigns as World Champ so Sammartino.

Bruno just for star power and longevity. I'm not familiar with his career and it's too far before my time to stomach being able to watch anything from it, but Randy Orton is an absolutely horrible main eventer. If Jeff Hardy didn't exist, he would literally be the worst main eventer in WWE history. He has no charisma, he can't cut a promo, he STILL can't draw a dime, it took 5 years of superpushing to get the audience to even acknowledge him, he has no chemistry with damn near anyone which makes his ring work suck if he's not in there with a miracle worker like Christian who knows how to carry shit, he looks like a cross between a stripper and a tattoo artist, which makes his look awful for wrestling and hard to take seriously the fact that he could beat anyone, he's a gigantic prick in real life and he got his push purely off of politics.

I'm not fond of him, if you haven't noticed.

Unlucky for Orton to go against Bruno first up. Bruno was one of the greatest of all time and definitely excelled as champion.

Exactly what I was thinking. I expected Orton to get further than this but no way he's beating Bruno.

I voted Orton, his championships reign have been good but Bruno's one of the best but guess bias here, Loved Orton as a heel champion.

Orton has done very well for himself but Sammartino is one of the all time greats.
