10. Hacksaw Jim Duggan

<p>

We started with the first TV champion, and we end with the last; Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

Duggan had been treated particularly badly by the new management of WCW. Vince Russo believed that Duggan looked more like a janitor than a wrestler, so that's the gimmick he was given. Duggan was a true company man and played the role.

It was decided after Russo's brief ouster from the company that he deserved to be given compensation for the terrible janitor gimmick. So, his Janitor character 'found' the WCW TV title in the trash. Scott Hall had tossed the title in the garbage several months earlier when he decided he had no use for it.

Duggan would hold the TV title until Russo returned, and the title was simply abandoned without any further mention on television. An ignoble end for a belt that created so many fantastic memories and matches.

There you have it; Ten of the best Television champions of all time.
