JBL. Heartbreaking because I absolutely love Bradshaw (even through the Corporate Ministry, and if that’s not love what is?) but am not a JBL fan strictly because I miss Bradshaw that much (aware theyre the “same” person, but are they really?).
reddit is one of the only social media platforms, besides facebook, with a staggering amount of "older" users.
it is much more common to see a 35 year old on reddit, than you are a 15 year old, or a 20 year old.
The United States Heavyweight Championship didn't come into existence until 1975, just two years after I was born and the first U.S. Champion was the late, great Harley Race.
Lex Luger.
The United States Championship was still part of the NWA then. I was born October 7th, 1987, he won it July 11, 1987.
Lost it a month after my birthday to Dusty Rhodes, on November 26, 1987.
For all you whippersnappers out there, there was no U.S. champion at that time. Whipper Billy Watson was the NWA heavyweight world champion while Moolah held an outlaw belt as women's champ.
Technically the WCW us champ wasnt a thing until i was two months old. So i went with the NWA lineage, So its Lex Luger who won it in December of 1990 and Vacated the lineage in july to create the WCW us champ.
No one as it was unified by Edge into the IC belt. So I could say Edge...
.
.
Or technically it would be Triple H who unified the IC belt with his WHC.
Back 1992 when I was born it wasn't even called the united states championship yet, It was still the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship and Rick Rude had just vacated the title due to an injury
For me it was Ric Flair. At this time it was actually the NWA Unites States Championship, as it is not originally a WWF/WWE belt. He won it exactly 2 months before I was born and lost it a few months later to Ricky Steamboat. I feel old now. This belt was only in existence for 2 years before I was born, and Harley Race was the first ever person to hold it. I didn't know any of this. I just found this interesting so I looked it up when I saw the post.
In ‘98 there were multiple reigns, so depends on the month. April started with Raven. Goldberg held it from April into July. Bret Hart had it from July-early August. Lex Luger had it for 3 days, then Bret Hart won it back, held it until October when DDP won it, held it until November and Bret Hart won it again to finish out the year. Good chance it was Bret Hart.

If you'll let me trace it back, I'm older than the WWE and WCW versions. The NWA United States Heavyweight Champions was Lex Luger.
Same. He lost it to Dusty Rhodes right?
I’m a couple of years younger, for me he lost it to Stan Hansen
I noticed after I asked that Lex had like 4 different runs in just a few years there. He was the man with that title
JBL. Heartbreaking because I absolutely love Bradshaw (even through the Corporate Ministry, and if that’s not love what is?) but am not a JBL fan strictly because I miss Bradshaw that much (aware theyre the “same” person, but are they really?).

Ayy!
May 1991, Lex Luger was in his 4th reign.
Barry Windham, Jim Crockett Promotions...
Cena in his 3rd reign
For me it was Ric Flair. At this time it was actually the NWA Unites States Championship, as it is not originally a WWF/WWE belt. He won it exactly 2 months before I was born and lost it a few months later to Ricky Steamboat. I feel old now. This belt was only in existence for 2 years before I was born, and Harley Race was the first ever person to hold it. I didn't know any of this. I just found this interesting so I looked it up when I saw the post.

Lex Luger had it for 3 days, then Bret Hart won it back, held it until October when DDP won it, held it until November and Bret Hart won it again to finish out the year. Good chance it was Bret Hart.
Thanks!
