Title Reigns You THOUGHT Happened

[BigJerichool222]

Sometimes there are just certain guys you associate with certain belts for one reason or another. Two immdiately spring to mind for me.

- I always thought Gangrel had a European Championship reign.
- I always thought T&A had a Tag Championship reign.
EDIT: And thanks to this thread, I apparently was wrong in thinking X-Pac was a former IC Champion.

But neither of those happened. For some reason in the back of my mind I had assumed for the longest time that they had occurred. Though it may have been SmackDown 2 for the PS1 messing with my head.

Rick Martel...IC champ.

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

I never think incorrectly that Gangrel held the Euro title, but I would have loved him as Euro champ. With his vampire gimmick, it seems like it would have went well together and made some sense. I was really hoping he'd knock off X-Pac at the 1999 Royal Rumble.

On topic, sometimes I am surprised that neither Rick Martel or X-Pac held the IC title. They just seemed to be guys who fit well were that title or at least over enough to get it.

One I just read about in this thread, actually. I always thought X-Pac had at least one IC title reign? I guess not.

Before he beat Zack Ryder, I thought that Swagger had had a US title reign.

Same. I also thought Gangrel had the European title.

Also going back to the Gangrel = Euro champ thing..

I think a lot of people thought that because he was incorrectly listed as one in several guides from the early 00's. They also had Faarooq as Hardcore champion and that never happened.

[BigJerichool222]

Wait...X-Pac wasn't an IC Champion?

WELL, guess I got to add that one too.

Same here, I was surprised when I saw the he hadn't.

Just about the only one I can think of.

I always thought Mae Young was a former WWE/F Women's Champion.

Even Harvey Wippleman had a reign

Yeah that's the one that after I had finally been able to remember all IC champions that I was really surprised to learn hadn't been champion.

I had always thought that Big Show had been Intercontinental champion before Wrestlemania 28.

I always thought that Too Cool (the Scotty Too Hotty / Grandmaster Sexay version) had more than one tag team championship with the way they were handing out reigns left and right in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

[mizerable]

^That's another one that was in several of those guides I mentioned, it listed Grand Master Sexay as a former Light Heavyweight champion.

[Beets by Schrute]

I thought Maria was a Women's/Diva's Champion.

[Psychoblue]

When Kevin Thorn came to visit 304 Wrestling in Huntington, Sean Casey called him a former ECW Champion. As much as I marked for Thorn in his heyday, I can't help but wonder how that would have turned out if it were true.

[frogsplash45]

It seems like everybody assumes Cryme Tyme had a few reigns with the tag belts...


... but they never actually did.

[DM91]

I always mis-remember Test as former WWECW Heavyweight Champ ... maybe it's just me trying to block out Bobby Lashley's title run.

[slappy]

Kurt Angle as ECW Champion. I could have swore he won the title at some point.
