10 Worst WWE Title Reigns Ever

2. Vince McMahon's WWF Title Reign

- Won Title on September 14th, 1999 - Dropped Title on September 20th, 1999 - Zero successful defenses Vince is in a very interesting spot here, because he was never a trained wrestler, and in that regard, he never should have been the WWF Champion, but during that time, he was almost always the clear-cut top heel in the business. Taking who he is out of the mix for a moment, wouldn't it make sense to have your top heel as the champion at some point? While you would never mistake Vince for Kurt Angle or Dean Malenko in the ring, you could say that, during the Attitude Era, nobody had a better average of entertaining matches than Vince did. Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, The Undertaker... all of the Attitude Era greats had the occasional bad or boring match. Vince McMahon, on the other hand, was always involved in something that was way better than it had any right being. It wasn't until his match against Bret Hart at WrestleMania 26 that people really began to think Vince was getting too old and that he shouldn't be stepping in the ring to wrestle anymore.
Even with that said, Vince never looked good during his matches. Most of them followed the same formula, which was Vince getting beaten up for 99% of it, and in the matches he won, it would take some fluke to happen or to have the numbers game turn in his favor. You could say he was a glorified jobber, which is what makes his WWF Title reign look so bad. You're not going to see a jobber today get the WWE Title handed to him, and if you did, it would be a decision that was rightfully destroyed by fans left and right.
