WWE: US Championship – A Legacy of Greatness DVD Review: 14 Interesting Observations
5. Championships Changed Hands Via Countout Back In The Day
Bit of a shame this rule isn't around today or AJ Styles would have won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship last weekend at Payback...
I'm aware that the business has evolved over the years, but I had the countout ruling down as one of the founding fathers of the rulebook, if you will.
A match between The Natural Dustin Rhodes and Ricky Steamboat from a WCW Saturday Night taping in 1993 was shown and ended with The Dragon being counted out, allowing Rhodes to win the United States Heavyweight Championship.
