#6 Diesel v/s Bob Backlund
Another instance where the championship belt would change hands at a house show. Big Daddy Cool faced off against Bob Backlund, who laid claim to the championship after defeating Bret Hart at Survivor Series in 1994. Only after three days of holding the belt, Backlund had the title taken away from him after being put through a jacknife powerbomb at a house show in November of 1994.

Bob was made the scapegoat by Vince as he didn’t want Bret to lose directly to Big Daddy Cool. Diesel, after claiming the gold, would enjoy a championship reign that lasted 358 days!
