10 Worst WWE Title Challengers

10. Salvatore Sincere

By the end of his time in WWE, Salvatore Sincere had an overall win rate of just 25%. During his early days in the company, though, he wasn’t booked to lose quite so often, scoring four victories in his first seven matches.

Still, that kind of a return shouldn’t quite be enough to warrant a WWE title shot. And yet in November 1996, on a WWF Superstars taping, that’s exactly what Sincere received.

The champion at the time was Shawn Michaels, and so the meeting with Sincere was likely little more than a warm-up routine for his imminent match with Sycho Sid at the 1996 Survivor Series. It won’t have come as much of a surprise, then, when Michaels emerged the victor, though at over seven minutes in length this match was perhaps less straightforward than you might have expected.

Still, even though this wasn’t a serious programme for the WWE Title, given that Sincere had only been with the company for a few months at the time, he could hardly be deemed a prime candidate for a shot at Michaels’ Championship.
