10 Worst Final Champions In Wrestling History
10. Chris Jericho - WCW Championship
Did you know that Chris Jericho defeated The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin on the same night? He never mentions it...
This oft-heralded feat went down at Vengeance 2001, as part of a four-man tournament to crown the first Undisputed Champion. After a year's worth of outside interference in one match, WCW Champion Jericho pinned WWE Champion Austin to walk out of the pay-per-view with both belts.
This was a great personal moment for Y2J, however, it was a dark day for one of the titles.
The WCW Championship, once held by the likes of Sting, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, and countless other legends, was now gone. Not only had the belt's lineage been liquidated, but its final champion had been a guy who was famously treated as a midcarder in the original WCW and, unfortunately, was never seen as a proper main eventer by the WWE.
See Jericho's Undisputed Championship reign for further proof.
It could have been much worse for the Big Gold Belt, but considering the title could have died in the hands of Austin or The Rock, this was not the optimal ending.
