A moment remembered in infamy, Madusa made her WCW return in 1995. 

What was so notable about this is that she was still the WWF Women's Champion at the time, with her known as Alundra Blayze when under the employ of Vince McMahon.

Appearing on an episode of Nitro, Madusa turned up with the Women's Title in tow and proceeded to literally throw the belt in the trash. It was a moment that sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling industry and was a firm shot fired from WCW towards the WWF.

It's hard to think of a more disrespectful action towards a championship title than throwing it away like a piece of trash, but that's exactly what Madusa did.
