Is there anything in professional wrestling that elicits a more emotional response than a title changing hands? When Daniel Bryan triumphed over The Authority (and yearlong awful booking) to finally grasp that elusive WWE World Championship at Wrestlemania 30, it was the feel good story of the year. On the other hand, when Randy Orton stole Bryans championship months earlier at Summerslam it felt like a gut punch to the stomach to all the fans who had emotionally invested in the Yes Movement. Title changes are much more commonplace today than in years past when they happened only a few times annually. That led to even greater shocking and exciting moments when a wrestler would finally realize their dreams or lose their belts. These climatic events were usually on television as the huge main events for pay-per-views or weekly shows. Yet, wrestling history is littered with little known title changes that most people still dont know about today. These matches may have happened off television and the reigns were extremely brief. The reasons vary for why each event happened but they are interesting footnotes in the annals of wresting history. Beginning this list is the forgotten first singles title of a Hall of Fame WWE Superstar.
