10 Wrestlers Who Didn't Know What To Do With Title Belts
8. Billy Gunn (Hardcore Championship)
Could you blame him?
Just days ahead of the most Vince Russo WrestleMania ever, two midcard titles were inexplicably switched in a move even further emblematic of the man himself.
Change for change's sake on a portion of the show where he could get away with it, Russo booked the New Age Outlaws to switch feuds in line with the titles they won shortly before 1999's 'Show Of Shows'. Road Dogg had been a bastion of the nascent Hardcore Division since launch and was looking to regain the gold against fellow nutcases Hardcore Holly and Al Snow, while Billy Gunn's feud with Intercontinental Champion Val Venis, Goldust Ken Shamrock over the latter's sister's affection.
In one evening, Gunn won the Hardcore Title and Dogg secured his first ever taste of proper secondary singles gold. It was weird for both, but especially 'Mr Ass' - he'd had an actual reason to get embroiled with his three WrestleMania opponents. He barely cared about the garbage match trophy as he walked into the 'Grandaddy Of Em All', let alone when he left the show without it.
