Barry Windham
He always played second, third or even fourth fiddle in the four Horsemen, and suddenly he was World Champion in 1993. It wouldn’t last long before losing his belt to Ric Flair at Beach Blast that summer. It wasn’t too many years later he was floundering in WWF as The Stalker and then one half of the New Blackjacks.
David Arquette
I feel as though this one doesn’t need much explanation. When you have a B list actor hold your World Championship for 12 days, then it comes as no shock your promotion folded a year later.
Vince Russo
Yep, the head booker and writer of WCW made himself champion with 0 minutes ever spent in the ring beforehand. This happened on September 25, 2000 and less than 6 months later, WCW was no more.
I like it but the NFL never adopt it
