Sycho Sid, Sid Vicious, just Sid, whatever you want to call him - won two championships during his WWF career, both of which were the WWF Championship.

After Shawn Michaels famously realized his boyhood dream at WrestleMania XII by defeating real-life rival Bret Hart in an Iron Man match, it was Sid that turned that dream into a nightmare, ending Michaels' 231-day reign at the 1996 Survivor Series. He would go on to have a successful PPV title defense against Bret Hart at In Your House: It's Time, but his 63-day reign came to an end when The Heartbreak Kid reclaimed his throne at the 1997 Royal Rumble.

After Michaels began a hiatus to “find his smile" 25 days later, Sid once again defeated Hart for the title just one day after he'd won it. This time around, Sid only held onto it for 34 days before becoming the sixth casualty in The Undertaker's streak, at WrestleMania 13.

Anyway, this was the last of Sid's championships in the WWF, as he left the company four months later to get some much-needed neck surgery. He would resurface in ECW and WCW two years later.
