Buddy Rogers won a tournament in April 1963 in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, to become the first WWWF champion; he defeated Antonio Rocca in the final. 2. Andre the Giant scored a controversial pinfall when Hulk Hogan lifted his shoulder at the two-count, but referee Earl Hebner (the twin brother of assigned referee Dave Hebner) continued the count. Andre's reign as champion lasted less than two minutes, as he then gave the belt to Ted DiBiase; WWF President Jack Tunney later ruled that transaction invalid, vacated the title, and ordered a tournament held for Wrestlemania IV. 3. This was a tournament final at Wrestlemania IV. 4. WWF President Jack Tunney was at ringside for the bout, but was knocked unconscious by the interfering Ric Flair. Undertaker's manager, Paul Bearer, also interfered by attempting to hit Hulk Hogan with his urn. Hogan ducked and Bearer hit Undertaker instead. Hogan grabbed the urn, threw ashes in Undertaker's face, then pinned him. The following day, Tunney declared the title vacant, with a new champion to be determined at the January 19, 1992 Royal Rumble. 5. Ric Flair won the title by winning the 1992 Royal Rumble. 6. After Shawn Michaels vacated the title due to a knee injury, Bret Hart outlasted Steve Austin, Vader, and The Undertaker in a Final Four match at the Febuary 1997 In Your House to win his fourth WWF Championship. 7. Upon orders from WWF owner Vince McMahon, Earl Hebner declared that Bret Hart had submitted to Shawn Michaels' "sharpshooter," when, in fact, he didn't. 8. Steve Austin had lost the title in a Triple Threat match to The Undertaker and Kane, who both pinned him at the same time. The title was declared vacant, with a new champion to be determined at the 1998 Suvivor Series "Deadly Game" tournament. "The Rock" Rocky Maivia went on to win that tournament. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
