Name your favorite transitional World Champions whose reign was brief but during their reign as champion they made an impression on you or an impact in the wrestling world. My example would be Sgt. Slaughter who held the WWF World Championship to begin 1991. He was a hated heel who played an Iraqi sympathizer during the Persian Gulf War. He finally got his at Wrestlemania VII losing his title to Hulk Hogan.|||I would say Kane's world title reign, what transitional reign is talked about more to this day than that one? Everyone knows about Kane only holding the title for a day, everyone talks about how Kane should have held it longer and it happened during wrestling's peak... doesn't get much more impressive than that really.|||When CM Punk revealed he had accepted a contract with the WWE and then won the ROH World Title after making the statement it was a very memorable moment that i don't think many people that follow ROH will ever forget. Before the night of his title match against Austin Aries, Punk clamied he was going out of ROH with a bang and that he did. He threatened to bring the ROH World Title with him to the WWE after he won the championship even though it was obviously an angle after a while at least it kept fans scratching their heads the night he won the title. His reign was brief but that moment alone made a lasting impression.|||The Iron Sheik
Back in 1983 Current WWF world champion Bob Buckland refused to drop the title to Hogan.WWF was screwed because Hogan was meant to be the centerpiece of the WWF and Backlund won't drop it so they give it to Iron Sheik,who held it for a month.He got a ton of heat for winning the title and ending Backlund's six year title reign as champion.
The thing i will always remember Sheik is that when He was going to drop the title to Hogan,Vergne Gagne offered Sheik $100,00 to break Hogans leg but he refused.That was big money back than.Many would have doen it but he didn't and Hogan want on to be champion and we all know how that worked out.|||that is sad how Sgt. Slaughters reign was transitional then but now that would be considered long in WWE.
My fav transitional reign was edges very first title reign to start off 2006. He got the title in shocking fashion by cashing in the MITB for the first time. It was a great moment, then he goes and does the live sex celebration and just has crazy momentum, and it started a great feud between cena and edge. It really was a reign that should of gone longer then three weeks since edge was drawing huge for WWE. But due to WWE wanting cena/hhh and them kinda not doing anything with edge and the MITB that had to happen like that. Just wish it would of gone longer.|||I think RVD was a transitional champion so I'll go with RVD. When RVD won the title Cena and Edge were feuding, and Edge then won the title back from RVD, and Edge and Cena continued their feud. Either way RVD winning the WWe championship in the rebirth of ECW, 2006 One Night Stand was a memorable moment in RVD,s career that I'll never forget.|||The Undertaker had a WHC reign of about a month. The moment that Vickie Guerrero stripped him of his title led to one of the biggest storylines of 2008. It then remained vacated for nearly a month.|||Unfortunately alot of Edge's title reigns have only been about 9 minutes long, but he always makes them memorable, heres hoping when he comes back he finally gets the long reign he deserves.|||jeff hardy when he won it and lost when c.m. punk cashed in he MITB because he looked like he could have died at that moment he was happy and then his face at the end of the ppv was priceless.|||Kurt Angle.
Greatest Transitional Champion Of All Time.
