The WWE Championship has been around for a long time

#1 Andre The Giant - less than a day

Andre should have been awarded a longer title reign

Andre The Giant is one of the biggest legends in the history of professional wrestling and if you disagree, you may well not have heard of him.

The man is so big that he has a battle royal named after him on a yearly basis at WrestleMania, in addition to being involved with one of the most iconic moments in the event's history back at WM3.

So the fact that Andre vacated the belt and just gave it to Ted DiBiase is a great shame.

If anything, it would've been great for Andre to be the man to hold the championship heading into his bout with Hogan but instead, they gave it to him following the event. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but that was typically the case back in the 80s.

Either way, we as supporters of the legend will continue to marvel in the greatness of his career as if he'd won 50 world championships because that's what he deserves. Andre truly was a larger than life personality, and that persona resonated through every time he stepped between the ropes.
