Which would you pick?
(Regard your choice as mutually exclusive; you can pick one, but you never get either of the other two.)

In WWE
>win the Royal Rumble
>be the WWE champion
>main event WrestleMania

So obv in this question that means picking winning the RR means you never get to be WWE Champ or main event WM,
Being WWE Champ means you never get to win the RR or main event WM,
Main eventing WM means you never wn the RR and never get to be WWE Champ

Guess if it's exclusive then I would take the title. You could always say you were champion, the other two aren't as impressive. If they weren't exclusive and it was just pick one and see where your career goes, I would pick the main event since that basically shows they view you as a top guy whereas midcard guys can do the other two.

(Oh and all choices are ONCE. Whichever you pick for each Fed, it's an achievement you only get once. No multiple Rumble/G1 wins, no multiple WWE/IWGP title reigns, no multiple WM/WK main events. For each fed you pick ONE achievment to have ONLY ONCE at the exclusion of each of the other two.)

Doesn’t matter. Bam Bam main evented WM with no RR win or WWE title win. Jinder won the WWE title with no RR win or WM headline. Nakamura won the RR with no WWE title win or WM headline.

NJPW equivalents
Starting from when Jan 4 Tokyo Dome became a thing, it seems

>won G1 but never champ or headlined WK
Goto
>champ but never won G1 or headlined WK
Fujita
Sapp is there too but should he really count? Not a proper wrestler, just a shoot figher gaijin.
Shingo might also count if you're harsh and don't count night 1 of 2-night WKs to be the actual main event. I count it though.
>headlined WK but never won G1 and never champ
Barnett
Suzuki
techinically Kawada too but an outsider, never a NJPW wrestler?

Tell me if I've left someone out

I main event WrestleMania. It IS the biggest achievement of the three, Phil is right.

Probably WWE Champion. It's something that will give you permanent respect in pro wrestling. The other two are a lot less impressive if you weren't actually champion. The Rumble is probably the worst of the three because you're winning the rumble only to lose a title match that's not even the main-event. That would straight up KWAB my career. It screams straight to impact. At least main-eventing wrestlemania gets you out of that Jack Swagger-tier.

Wrestlemania Main Event.

Royal Rumble is just a shit meme accomplishment and WWE champion stop being prestigious since they let any retard like Kofi get the belt.

I'd definitely pick the G1 if I could only pick one. There are plenty of world championships in wrestling and a decent amount of main events in front of huge crowds, but G1 is easily the best wrestling tournament in the planet, both in kayfabe and out. It'd be a great achievement to have.
Even if you count the previous tournaments, you have as all the winners:
>Inoki, Sakaguchi, André, Hulk Hogan, Chosu, Chono, Fujinami, Mutoh, Sasaki, Nagata, Tenzan, Tanahashi, Goto, Makabe, Kojima, Nakamura, Okada, Naito, Omega and Ibushi
The Jannetties here are Goto and Makabe, who got it in some of the worst years of New Japan's business, and Makabe is a very popular guy in Japan. It's pretty great if your floor is Goto level.

Since they added the "Royal Rumble" stipulation of the G1 winner getting the main event at WK back in 2012, the only one that lost the contract was Kota Ibushi, but he still main evented because the champion had pity on him and made it a double main event.

Main Event Mania.
The point of this company is spectacle. Main eventing WrestleMania is a higher accolade than being WWE Champion. Some Manias don’t even have the Champion main event because the belt in WWE is ultimately nothing more than a prop. To be in the main event of the biggest show of the most popular company on earth is a tremendous accolade and will net me more money than any title win outside of that day will.
Night 1 manias will never count btw. These are the asterisk Main Events.

Win the IWGP Hebbyq
This belt has the highest prestige out of any company on earth. If this was purely my passion, I would want to win this belt once.

That said, ultimately, I’d want to win the NWA World title more than the others personally. I’m a mark for this business and would want my name associated with the real heavyweight championship belt on this planet more than the most popular at the time.

I remember when winning the Royal Rumble meant you get to main event WM

Also by main even wm do you mean Sunday?

Though I guess you could pick RR since that also gets you Wrestlemania

There's way more IWGP Champs that tried and failed to win a G1 (Big Van Vader, Tenryu, AJ Styles, Jay White, EVIL, Will Ospreay, Shingo Takagi, SANADA) than there are G1 Champs that tried and failed to win the IWGP (Just Goto)
