8 Non-Wrestlers Who Were Wrestling Champions

7. Godfather€™s Ho - WWE Hardcore Champion

Fans of the WWF€™s Attitude Era surely remember the flamboyant and entertaining Godfather. The self-stylized pimp would lead a proverbial train of hos to the ring with him. These scantily-clad women would cheer their man on from ringside, occasionally helping him out from time to time. Furthermore, the Godfather€™s women changed every week, as he had a seemingly endless cache of hos to choose from. One of these hos would go on to make history during the March 15, 2000 edition of Raw. Crash Holly was a valiant champion, as he defended his Hardcore title under 24/7 rules -- meaning a match for the title could take place at anytime and the belt could change hands as long as a referee was there to count the pin. On the aforementioned episode of Raw, Crash was defending his coveted title against the Godfather, when suddenly one of the hos jumped in the ring and pinned Holly. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xa4cuo_crash-holly-looses-hardcore-title-t_sport The title reign would last barely a minute, as Crash quickly rolled the girl up and regained his Hardcore Championship. In an interesting twist, the Godfather never held the Hardcore title, but one of his hos did -- even if it was for just moments.
