Title Lost: WWF Championship Lost Title To: Bob Backlund The Bret Hart Conspiracy Theory really starts picking up steam here. The Hitman lost multiple titles to what could be termed inferior opponents, and never got a chance to face them in a title rematch because both men went on to lose their newly won gold in less than four days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AFvk3StVWQ Hart lost a long, hard-fought I Quit match to Bob Backlund for the WWF Championship, only to watch Backlund drop the strap three days later to Diesel in eight seconds. Hitman would get his revenge on Backlund at WrestleMania XI and would be the one to end Diesels year-long run on top in late 1995. Unfortunately, this wouldnt be the last time Hart lost a title and never got to challenge again for it
