    Honestly, I don't think transitional champions are bad champions, as long as the transition is treated with enough importance. Stan Stasiak was a decent enough transitional champion, Sheik was actually over enough to be a threat. And then you have Kane, whose reign lasted a day and was there to transition a belt from one champion to himself.

      Kane transitioned the belt from "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, back to Austin, so Kane transitioned it back to the same person.
      There is a rumor that Kane wasn't even supposed to win that night, but Taker accidentally opened up Austin for real, and since it was a "First Blood" Match, Kane won the belt.

      Batista vs Orton for WHC at Mania 22
      Eddie vs Shawn Michaels at Mania 22
      Cena vs Triple H for WWE Title at Mania 22
      When Eddie died it was changed to Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart but Bret didn’t want to wrestle, so it was changed again to Shawn vs Vince.
      When Batista got injured it was changed as Angle vs Taker for WHC at Mania 22, and then changed again to Rey vs Angle vs Orton for WHC at Mania 22, with Taker vs Mark Henry at Mania 22.

      Back in the late 90's, Kane was the epitome of a wrestler who doesn't need a belt to draw. Kane and Undertaker were both such great characters that they never needed a belt to make fans care about their matches. It's why, despite Taker being an all-time great, he hardly ever won the World Championship. Andre the Giant was the original "never needed a belt to draw".

      If it were 10 years earlier, he would have. But at that particular time everything was centered around Steve Austin. Giving Kane the belt for a night was just a tool to get Austin over even more. But Kane still benefited from it regardless. As an 8 year old I liked Austin just as much as the next person, but Kane was the only wrestler I passionately cared about. I didn't care if he had the belt or not.

    10. You could tell WWE was never really invested in Big E as a top guy. And it sucks that they set him up to fail as champion.
    9. Sgt. Slaughter in the early/mid-80’s would have been a good choice as a world champion. But by the time of WM 7, he was past his physical prime.
    8. Dean was the most over member of The Shield for a time. And WWE never really capitalized on that fully. AEW has used him FAR better.
    7. Should have beaten Orton, simple as that.
    6. Kane only holding the WWF Title for one day was so disappointing back in the day. He was such a monster back then.
    5. Stan Stasiak worked fine as a transitional champion. It was rare for heels to hold the title for long in WWF back then.
    4. This guy beat freaking Shinsuke Nakamura in a world title feud. That says it all.

    I don't know how you can have Big E and Dean Ambrose on this list when RVD was literally arrested as WWE Champion and was punishment jobbed 3 weeks into his reign. He was actually a BAD WWE Champion in that he screwed up so spectacularly they couldn't even wait until the next major show to get the belt off of him. My other replacement would be Jeff Hardy. I find it hilarious that Hardy's title reign was bookend by two Edge title reigns, I assume that's because Triple H didn't want to be associated with winning or losing the title from him. Hardy literally did nothing in his entire 40 days as champion. At least Ambrose and E had some successful title defenses.

    Good video. Glad you didn't put the Iron Sheik on here. He ended Bob Backlund's six year reign and thus got Hulk Hogan over the following month to begin the boom period.
    You were incorrect on the part about Andre ending Hogan's first reign (mentioning it was 3+ years). Hogan had the belt just over 4 years - Jan 1984 to Feb 1988. That was probably the last time we will ever see a multi-year champion in wrestling. Now belts don't mean much since they switch as fast as the wind changes.

    Adding Kane's 1 day title reign to a worst list is only showing you either weren't watching at the time or you completely missed the big picture.
    Kane"s title reign not only established the BOD partnership raising speculations that they were in cahoots which on and off turned out to be true, the 24 hour tithe reign also set up the following 4 PPV main events by way of the Fully Loaded Tag Title match, SummerSlam with Kane's now confirmed Alliance with Taker, Breakdown's Handicap match that saw the title forfeited & No Mercy's Title match between the Brothers with Stone Cold as ref which in turn set up the Survivor Series Deadly Game tournament which placed The Rock into the main event scene and the rest is history.
    Kane was an essential WWF Champion.
    That it was only for 1 day served more purpose than most title reigns lasting 4 months.
