Ranking Every WCW Champion In History - From Worst To Best
15. Scott Steiner
Still, those 76 days look pretty paltry in comparison to Scott Steiner’s run as WCW Champion. Big Poppa Pump held the strap for 120 days after defeating Booker T at WCW Mayhem 2000 on Nov. 26.
Furthermore, this stint came during the company’s final days which were generally a rather manic time, in which titles were frequently surrendered after a matter of days or even hours. Although, the fact that it arrived during WCW’s latter days is also one of the reasons why the reign wasn’t a hugely memorable one.
Steiner's PPV feud with Sid Vicious wasn’t a particularly remarkable rivalry, while some of his other defences came against the likes of Ernest Miller and Bill “General Rection” DeMott, who were mid-cards guys at best.
In hindsight, they probably should have put the belt on Steiner a little soon than they did. Ultimately, it was never going to be easy for him to deliver the goods with the company staring down the barrel as it was.
