26 Times Wrestling Titles Have Been Disrespected

Now this one is a tricky one. Firstly, Mike Awesome was totally in the wrong, but then again you can maybe say he had every right to do what he did.

Awesome was the reigning ECW World Heavyweight Champion when he signed with WCW in April 2000. Whilst Awesome was never shown on WCW TV with the ECW Title, he was still in possession of the belt. Part of the reason that Awesome signed for WCW was down to Paul Heyman owing him money for unpaid wages.

At the time, stories claim that certain members of the ECW roster wanted to turn up at WCW and confront Awesome and physically take back the ECW Title. When all was said and done, though, Mike Awesome would appear at an ECW event to drop the title. Fearing for his safety after taking the belt from the struggling company and sticking a middle finger up to Heyman and his roster, Awesome had the head of WCW's security with him for protection.

Awesome would drop the belt to another returning former ECW superstar. Tazz, by that point in the WWF, made his return and defeated Awesome before losing the ECW Title a week later to Tommy Dreamer.
