10 Worst World Champions In WWE History

10. Rob Van Dam

For many years, Rob Van Dam was considered one of the greatest wrestlers to not hold a World title. Even in ECW, where he made his name, he only got as far as a two-year reign with the Television Championship.

Finally, at One Night Stand 2006 - a pay-per-piew thats served as the launch pad of the revived ECW brand - RVD defeated John Cena to capture the WWE Championship. That gave increased legitimacy to the ECW World Championship, which was brought out of mothballs and presented to Van Dam on the first episode of ECW on SciFi.

Just three weeks later, though, Van Dam and Sabu got pulled over and arrested for possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia. Both men were suspended for 30 days, though in Van Dam's case, he lost both of his championships before his unfortunate vacation.

RVD's one and only reign as WWE Champion ended at an uneventful 22 days.
