10 Most Obscure Title Wins In WWE History
6. Hervina - Women's Title
Another Women’s Championship entry up next, but here’s your latest Attitude Era swerve: the belt-winner wasn’t even a woman! “How did that happen?” I hear you ask once more, and this time the reason’s even better.
The Women’s Championship was being defended in a Lumberjill Snowbunny match (seriously), the rules of which I’m not sure anyone knows, even to this day. What we do know, though, is that Hervina would emerge the victor after scoring a pin on The Kat.
Clearly, everything was going along swimmingly for the newly-crowned champ Hervina, until Michael Cole requested a post-match interview with lady of the moment.
After one swift utterance, it was abundantly clear that Hervina wasn’t who she’d claimed to be. Cole identified Hervina as Harvey Wippleman, who promptly removed his/her wig and revealed the truth to the world.
Personally, I can’t decide whether this one remains obscure because no one really cared at the time, or whether it’s the result of the company, and its fans, desperately trying to scrub this one from memory. I’ll let you guys be the judge.
