20 Wrestlers Who Won World Titles In The Fewest Matches

10. Vince Russo (WCW Title)

Number Of TV Matches: 8

If you're still laughing at Vince McMahon's inclusion, then get a load of this!

Vince Russo fell into the trap of thinking he could bring something to WCW TV in 2000. Worse, rather than portraying himself as a non-wrestling authority figure, Russo got inside the ring for a "wrestle" and even won the company's World Title. It's even more stunning to learn that beating Booker T in a cage on the 25 September 2000 Nitro was Vince's 8th televised encounter.

He'd booked himself vs. Lex Luger, Ric Flair in a few various scenarios, Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner (in a tag with Sting!) and Stevie Ray. What's more, Russo had also competed in a souped-up "Triple WarGames" match in early September on the flagship.

Yes, yes he would vacate the belt one week after winning it. Senseless.
