So my friends, who wants to go back in time with me, Simon the bald idiot? I hope the answer is you.

Otherwise, why did you click the video? But you're here now, so please don't go away.

But of course, winning the WWE title is amazing. I don't care who you are. You could be a fetus from New Jersey. or you could be a flower from Timbuck too.

If you were able to climb the ranks of WWE

and say you actually held that gold,

well you are going to be in very select company

and you should brag about it at family events. buck two. If you were able to climb the ranks of WWE and say you actually held that gold,

well, you are going to be in very select company, and you should brag about it at family events. However, there have been some champions, especially during the 90s, that made us go, that's a very strange decision. Although, to be honest with you, a couple of these individuals were always going to end up with it eventually. So that is what we are talking about today. it is the 10 worst WW Championship reigns of the 1990s.

Once again, I truly mean this. I will be a rubbish WW champion. I mean, what a way to live. Number 10, The Undertaker from November to December

1991. So in many ways, the Undertaker's first WW Championship victory was actually perfect. Happened almost exactly a year on from his debut, and he won the title from none other than Hulk Hogan. I mean, that's badass. Given that the Undertaker was fresh in the company, I'm sure he was like the cat taking the cream. However, though, given that he was a dead man and a scary zombie, and believe you, me, if you go back to 1991, you will be quite terrified. It just seemed a little bit ridiculous that the only way he beat Hulk Hogan was because he had a massive assistance from Rick Flair. I'm sure you've seen the footage because it has done the rounds. Rick Flair puts a chair into the ring. The undertaker hits the tombstone. This is also the infamous story where for some reason Hulk Hogan told the real life Mark Callaway

that he had spiked him on this move and you can go and see it right now. The Undertaker could not

protected him anymore. The real nonsense though is that the Hulkster won it back six days later and

listen, there are some wrestlers you can get away with this and the Undertaker probably was one because

his character was so good but it was also the flipping Undertaker. And even in 1991, we all knew this gimmick was amazing. So to treat it this way, well, it was just stupid. I mean, the first time the Undertaker did win the WWT title, he should have held onto it for 47,000 years. I'm exaggerating, but it should have been dominant. It really does show how amazing the gimmick was, though, because Taker would not win this goal for another five years, because once again, he never really needed it, because he ticked all the boxes anyway. But also, if we are looking at this from a booking perspective, you give in the belt, you take it back off him within a week, and he doesn't get it for half a decade. I mean, that's just really weird.

Number nine, Bob Backland in November 1994. Now, I like Bob Backland, especially the mid-90s version,

because essentially after a while, he decided, why don't I just play a crazy old guy? It's genuinely

very funny. Also, though, between 1978 and 1983, he was a super good guy, Bob Backland,

and he was the WWE, Then the WWF champion for 2,135 days. So you can take Roman Rains' 1,316 day rain and stick it up your tuccas, although I don't do that because what Roman did was still amazing. The thing is, though, Backlund is actually a two-time champion, although for reasons we're about to get into, nobody really talks about the second run. And that is because at the Survivor Series 1994 at the age of 45, which, listen, in the mid-90s, was way older than it was today. Bob did indeed defeat champion Brett Hart after his horrible brother Owen Hart had thrown in the towel on his behalf. This meant there was 16 years from his first title win to this one, and really, people were just confused because Bob Baglin came back from nowhere, and he became the world champion, and to take a catchphrase from myself, most people were asking why. Now, soon turned out Vince McMahon wanted to give it to Diesel, but didn't want to have Big Daddy Call Beat Brat Hart, but having Bob Backland as the middle guy, well, it did kind of leave us all scratching our heads. This kind of ties into our last entry too, because do you know how long Bobby held this belt for three days? It just feels so ridiculous, although it's quite cool if he did go to the house show in Madison Square Garden, because that's right, Diesel didn't win it on TV.

He won it off camera. So there's two ways to look at it, which is first. You probably could have just built up a good feud between Diesel and Brett Hart to get to this, but also, Bob Backlin is

one of the best of all time, especially when you do look at his resume, or at the very least,

he should have been treated with more respect than this. I don't think you had to give him a three-day run, but actually, if you go listen to Bob Backlin in interviews today, I think he gave a damn. Number eight, Psycho Sid, from February to March 1997. The February 17th, 1997 edition of Raw holds the distinction of being the first episode of the show to play host to a. title change. That's right, my trivia fan. Stick that in

your brain. Now, this all went down to Psycho Sid, who defeated Bratheart just one night after he had won the vacant title at In Your House Final 4 pay-per-view. And yes, this came after the crazy time of Sean Michael's walking away because he had no smile anymore. And Steve Austin being eliminated from the Royal Rumble, but no referee saw it. So he did re-enter. He eliminated a bunch of dudes,
