@kazallroberts thank you for bringing that up it's nice to finally see someone else mention that triple h was number 1 conteder to lesnar before hand cause everyone seems to forget that or they simply don't care, nonetheless it always bugs me a little when they bring up triple h being awarded the title without mentioning that he was number 1 contender to lesnar before hand
Honorable mentions: 1. Kanyon (WCW U.S. Championship in 2001). It was simply and literally handed to him by Booker T. This was during the Invasion angle. 2. Rob Van Dam (ECW Championship in 2006) 3. Hacksaw Jim Duggan (WCW Television Championship in 2000). He found the title in a dumpster. I get that this occured in WCW but WWE owns WCW and Duggan is a former WWE wrestler so I'm counting it. 4. Nicholas (RAW Tag Team Championship in 2018) 5. Titus O'Neil (24/7 Championship in 2019). He simply won the title in a scramble.
Nicholas doesnt count as he won it in an actual tag match. He was even tagged in briefly (though didnt do anything) Titus doesnt count as it kind of was still a match. same rules as a ladder match. Just instead of hanging above the ring. it was in the center of the ring. but same rules. first to retrieve it. wrestlers fought for it and there was a bell
@@PowerStruggle555 Yeah. I just added Nicholas because even though he was in a match and was tagged in, he didn't actually "wrestle". He immediately tagged Braun back in. And as for Titus, I didn't look at scrambling to retrieve a championship as actually "wrestling". But I do see your point.
Triple H was given the Heavyweight Championship because he won a #1 contenders match against The Undertaker, the winner would face Brock Lesnar but Smackdown drafted Brock Lesnar and Bischoff gave Triple H the title since he was supposed to be the #1 contender
thank you bringing that up it's nice seeing someone else mention that triple h was number 1 contender before hand it always bugs me a little when they bring up triple h being awarded the title without mentioning him winning a number 1 contender match before hand
Booker T and Chris Benoit's rivalry on SmackDown happened from end of 2005 to early 2006. Orton won the Best of 7 for Booker T on January 2006, before the Royal Rumble.
@@mattverhulstthat’s not true - this wasn’t a part of the match stipulation. When she competed in the match and won MiTB it was, at that point, a contract like all other times. It was only the next night on RAW when Becky announced her pregnancy that Asuka was awarded the title. Before that RAW no one knew Becky would be gone.
Honorable mention: - Asuka - Raw women champion. Becky Lynch announced her pregnancy. Asuka automatic become champion. - Nicholas - Raw tag team champion. Braun strowman wrestled the whole match, he was tagged at once time, but he tagged back very fast. - Most of the 24/7 champion. Win by roll up only or help by someone.
No mercy 07 might be one of my fav ppvs. I was happy Cena was out. I mean liked him as a wrestler, but I was sick of his character, so seeing this kind of unexpected and forced creative chaos was fun. If Cena didn't get hurt...he was probably gonna end up winning... again...then he came back like 3 months later instead of the 6 to 8 they had said, so yeah, couldn't even enjoy half a year without him.
No mercy 2007 wasn’t actually at that complicated. Cena was going to lose that night. They actually got fairly creative by having triple h win after orton was ordered the belt than hhh retained against umaga (unnecessary but interesting) and then orton won as intended in the last man standing. They could have simplified it by just having HHH face Umaga in a number one contender match but they did what they did and it was an Interesting show
The us title best of 7 was a call back to their wcw tv title best of 7 rivalry. At the end of that rivalry Stevie Ray ended up with the tv title not booker t.
Personally, it bothers me, how the European Title was viewed. I grew up during the aggression, and some of my all time favorites held that title. Same with the hardcore. Yet it changed hands, often to Holly. It was a great time to watch back than.
The Million Dollar Man should've been on this list. He "won" the WWF Championship AND The 24/7 Championship simply by paying each of those champions off respectively. How is HE not in here?
Hmmm... Asuka when the Women's championship was awarded to her by Becky Lynch inside the Money in the Bank briefcase. This was because Becky was expecting a child. The segment was so wholesome, but it took place in front of no crowds. If a live audience was present, there might have been a massive pop.
Does Wreslelamia only consider WWF/E and WCW? (Which is a No-No for all us legacy 90's wrestling fans.) What about Paul Heyman's ECW...The REAL ECW? The Blue Meanie was handed the ECW TV Title as a part of a storyline involving The Dangerous Alliance, I think.
The rivarly between benoit and booker with ortons involvement ended in january 2006 not 2007 cuz by mid 2006 booker t would become king booker and would win the wotld title from rey mysterio
Greatest one of all time: Pat Pattinson (IC belt). According to the history books he won a tournament in Rio to become the first ever champion but no such tournament occurred. In reality they gave him the new belt backstage
Never minded HHH getting handed the belt . I do love a tournament. But with Lesnar gone bishof needing to do something quick not long into the role. I was fine with it
@@Mega_Collosasthere’s been articles published online back in 2007 you can find that have said and been told by wwe officials Cena was suppose to drop the title tha night. If you were watching wwe at the time you have saw the reports about it.
For some reason I remember the best of 7 wrong. I couldve sworn Booker won the us title on his own in the finals. He was up like like 3-1 or something. got hurt. orton took his place. Lost still wrestled lost two more times and booker wrestled in match 7 and won. but had to look it up. I was wrong
I know this has nothing to do with this video but its still related to titles. When Edge came back to WWE they should have gave him is title back because he never lost the title he never got pinned for submitted for it so he never lost the title so he should have got it when he came back
I'll never forget Hacksaw finding the (retired) WCW World television championship in the trash and claiming it as his own. Shows exactly how much wcw cared about THAT championship 💀
Chris Jericho at Unforgiven 2008. He did nothing once he entered and waited until the last few seconds to sneak a pinfall in on someone that was already down and stole the title right out from under Batista.
Man I would like to see the hardcore title back in wwe. They dont have to go overboard with the bloody equipment due to the PG regulations. I mean chairs, tables and ladders and backstage brawl would be more than enough for hardcore title. Yeah I know 24/7 title wasnt a success but because anyone could interfere anywhere countless times to get that 24/7 title. If you set a rule that only one fixture is to take place per one event, then that would have changed a thing.
If I remember correctly, Triple H was the number one contender to face WWE Undisputed Champion Brock Lesnar by defeating the Undertaker on the same Raw that Brock left to go to Smackdown permanently. That said, wouldn't it make sense that the number one contender become champion in the case of vacancy?
Don't forget Buddy Rogers the very first wwe champion they said he won the title in a tournament but there was no tournament they just said that since je was the first champion
Wcw was guilty of this too hacksaw finding the tv title in the garbage and making himself the champion ric flairs 16th and final world title reign was Kevin nash giving him the the big gold belt

Triple H is the one superstar who I can think of who won the revived World Heavyweight Championship without defeating anyone in 2002.
Yeah I Remember That One. And Let's Not Forget The Whole Entire Charlotte/Becky Scene.
Same
@@geeshep4836yep!
Edge in 2006, Mick Foley awarded Edge the hardcore title, and after the ECW ppv, it was never seen again.
JeriShow was underrated tag team
Best Tag Team back at 2009
Vegeta e Nappa :)
Triple H being rewarded the World Heavyweight Championship kinda made sense as he was #1 for Lesnar's WWE Championship.
Still kinda dumb but at least it made some sense

And he ain’t want any smoke with lesnar or smack down back then😂😂😂he was shook
Brian Kendrick is technically the former WWE Champion . Remember that
Spanky?
Not the same thing at all. He actually wrestled to win the championship.
@@CooperBayBayyes

Chris Benoit vs Booker T Best of 7 Series US title match was memorable
It was
Yea it was good, but imo, the best of 7 series dey had in WCW was Legendary!!!

I get Van Dam getting awarded the ECW title, as it revived the brand with his WWE win. I am absolutely shocked Hacksaw wasn't on here.
@@joekoe97
The TV championship wasn’t technically handed over to Hacksaw, he simply found it in the trash, so finders keepers
I really loved the hardcore title! Criminally underrated, crash holly did his best work with that title
I loved the handling of the European Championship. It was so comical.

Came here to comment the same thing
Loved the JeriShow team! Their theme song was pretty cool too!
Crash Holly made Hardcore title prestigious . RIP
You mean Crash Holly
Crash Holly's so underrated. Dude's been pretty much been forgotten by fans and honestly it's sad
Honorable Mention: Becky Lynch gave the women's title to asuka due to pregnancy
Asuka won the money in the bank match, the title was in the briefcase, instead of a contract

John Cena's injury was saving grace for Randy Orton to become the top World Champion

0:15 They really should bring The European Championship back.
They already have the US title, which more prestigous.
@@rhedosaurus2251Wouldn't you rather have more Wrestlers have more opportunities with another Championship?
@@user-em6ie2be7x Yes, but I'd rather have the Hardcore Title come back rather then the European Championship, which was barely cared about back then.
@@rhedosaurus2251 you mean IC title which is too prestigious compare to US title
@@tamzidmohsinkhan3333 I was talking about how the US title has a longer and thus more prestigous history then the European title ever did.
You forgot asuka when Becky gave her the belt
Dolph Ziggler should've had decent World title reign
Booker and Benoit’s feud was actually 05-06
WWE can do without Vince
The 10 year old who won the tag team championships just for being there always pissed me off
Why because he is a kid and he didn't work or earn a title shot at all.
now imagine if they gave him the universal title or wwe title 😂
I remember Booker T, and Chris Benoit wrestling like that in WCW 10 years prior
Cameron Grimes - being handed The Million Dollar Championship.
That was LA Knight
@@tamzidmohsinkhan3333 YEAH!!
@@tamzidmohsinkhan3333 DiBiase gave it to Grimes first. LA Knight won it first.

Ok then
I remember that with mideon back then..🤣🤣
Shawn Michaels got dean Douglas booted out of wwf anyway..
Number 1-Pat Patterson. After winning a fictitious tournament in South America, Patterson becomes the very first Intercontinental champion.
Christian should be in the video I know it was in aew but it was too funny him holding the belt like it was his
Cg for 2m! ❤
Awarded titles, in my opinion, shouldn’t be considered title runs.
Winning a title without wrestling must be lucky since it’s rare❤
Today is having a big title u don't have to wrestle

Vince McMahon handing Mick Foley The Hardcore Championship.

The Piper Niven thing wasn't even criticized
Let's not forget when Andre handed Ted Dibiase the title.
This should have been number 1. Andre’s only championship and he sold it.
True but the title change was not official.

Seth Rollins did this just recently...
you people always forget triple h won a number 1 contender's match vs undertaker the week before
I know right it's so aggravating
so since hes #1...he must simply be handed a belt not knowing if he would've defeated brock anyway?

But they fought in one of the most grueling matches ever!!
@@BoereViking *YOU ALL SAW IT! I DID IT! I DIIIIDD IIITTTT!*

Wasn’t Randy Orton originally supposed to beat John Cena at No Mercy 2007 if Cena hadn’t got injured?
no one knows..no one will tell you the right answer...and besides even if its true it doesnt justify just handing the belt to orton
Surprised he didnt add when Becky Lynch gave Asuka her title when she went on maternity leave.

This is why titles aren't worth anything. It's whoever the boss thinks is hot. That's what made Piper a fantastic wrestler, he didn't need no belt.
Booker US title win was in January 2006, not 2007. Just saying.

Is there a clip of midion getting the belt? Or the episode to watch
I loved when Piper N. got the tag title.
moments like this always felt strange or pointless clearly a tell of "we dont know how to book this guy as a champion soooo here"
Mark Henry's first title run was forgettable at best
I know this has nothing to do with this video but its still related to titles. When Edge came back to WWE they should have gave him is title back because he never lost the title he never got pinned for submitted for it so he never lost the title so he should have got it when he came back
Technically both Buddy Rogers and Pat Patterson didn't win their titles for winning matches.
Nobody cared how Orton won the title especially when he finished wrestling that night and also with the run he had afterwards
