10 Times Title Belts Were Horribly Disrespected
1. Blayze Of Glory
The ultimate show of disdain for a title once proudly held, Madusa's dropping of the WWE Women's Title into a nearby waste bin live on the opposition's television was an atomic bomb on Vince McMahon that indirectly had enormous ramifications on the future of the entire industry.
As a standalone act, it was shocking enough. Having appeared with the belt on television just weeks earlier, the mere sight of the former Alundra Blayze on Nitro was a big deal, but to literally trash her former title was a symbolic and damaging decree on her entire experience and WWE's overall treatment of female performers.
Whilst WCW were similarly poor at establishing a women's league around their new signing, the damning dumping of the title forced WWE to abandon their own version for over two years, and more notably made McMahon awfully twitchy about the whereabouts of his existing champions when contracts were coming due or ending through other means.
Projecting his memories of this infamous moment, the status of the WWE Title became awfully contentious when Bret Hart was shortly to depart for WCW. Actions taken on Bret's final night may have been markedly different without this incredible Nitro moment.
