20 Times WWE Titles Changed Hands On A House Show

7. Dean Malenko Defeats Eddie Guerrero For The ECW World Television Championship - July 21 1995, Tampa, FL

Yet another instance of a Television Championship being defended at a house show, this time in ECW. This time it's a little more forgivable; Dean Malenko was challenging future Radicalz teammate Eddie Guerrero in front of his home crowd in Tampa, Florida. Malenko and Guerrero were famed for their incredible ECW bouts, which saw the two embrace technical wrestling in favour of hardcore brutality, to just as great of a crowd reaction. No doubt this encounter was another in a long line of classics, and resulted in the feelgood moment of Malenko winning the championship in his hometown. Footage of the night has become a rare collector's item, making its way onto many bootleg DVDs and fan-made Malenko & Guerrero compilations.
